I absolutely can't speak enough good words about Joseph Mark Photography! Our engagement and wedding pictures are spectacular, and we couldn't be happier! We've had people that don't even know us in tears when they view our wedding slide show that Joe and Stephanie put together for us. That just shows how much talent they have at capturing the emotion behind the picture. There is so much artsy photography out there these days which just shows talent at using photoshop. Joseph Mark is a wiz at photoshop but also doesn't hide behind it. They let their pictures speak for themselves.

The most amazing cake I've ever tasted!!! We had tastings and got quotes from several bakeries, but there was just a little something missing from them. Then I heard about the Cake Guys which are an hour drive from my house, but something told me it would be worth the drive. And it sure was! I booked them on the spot! They had us try about 8 or 9 different cakes that of course we couldn't finish so they packed it up and sent it home with us. And I was so shocked when they told me the price! They could charge so much more. They not only taste the best, but look amazing too! These guys are artists and can do anything you want! My cake was the spitting image of the picture in my head times 10! The communication can be a little difficult since they only communicate via email and are so busy so it can take a little time for them to get back, but I emailed them and told them I really wanted to walk to them on the phone and they called right away. There is no need to shop of any other bakery...The Cake Guys are the best!

Seth did a great job with the mics during the ceremony. I've been to several weddings where the sound is in and out, and we never had that problem with him. I got to hear the music that was played during cocktail hour, and did enjoy the music that was played at dinner. However, I wasn't just completely happy with the music at the reception. I paid him to play what we wanted to hear durning the reception so that we didn't get any corny cheesy stuff and even gave him a song list to go by. We didn't get any cheesy stuff except for the very first song that was played. Seth told us we needed to be on the dance floor for the first song to really get the guests out there, but my husband just walked off because the song was so bad. I would say out of everything he played that night 1/3 of it was from our list. We spent so much time going through music and finding songs we would like to hear and we didn't even get to hear half of our list. We told him in 2 meetings we wanted our music played and that there would be 'older' people dancing but they would dance to anything. He didn't listen to us much and played what he wanted to play. Our dance floor did stay busy which was great, but we really worked hard on our song list and expected him to play those songs and know our dance floor would have been even busier if our songs were played. A lot of our friends that do enjoy dancing all sat at their table just talking most of the time.

I also gave him instructions on when to fade out the father/daughter dance which I guess he didn't review because I had to tell him while I was on the dance floor to fade it out. I also gave him instructions during our final meeting to tell the guests during cocktail hour to make sure they filled out papers for our 'wish jar'. I knew people would need to be told since it wasn't a traditional guest book. He didn't do that and we got maybe 15 out of 130 to write on them which only half of those even put their names on them.

Seth was an okay dj if you don't have specific music requests, but I think charged too much for us not to get what we wanted.

Amazing! We got so many compliments on how beautiful Aria Strings sounded! They were great in responding to my questions during planning. They gave me chills when I heard them play the wedding march at the bridal show! On the wedding day, storms were horrible and several things were going wrong so we ended up starting late. I was so afraid this group would stop playing because I paid for an hour of their time, and if they kept playing until everyone left the ceremony area it would be over an hour....but they kept playing. They kept playing the whole time we were waiting to start and didn't complain at all. I am soooooo thankful these musicians are not only amazingly talented but went with the flow! I'll be sending them a tip in the mail for their amazing work and for their overtime put in!

Altar Ego Weddings was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day to go smoothly! I hired Jennifer for day of coordination which included rehearsal coordination. Her organization methods were very impressive when we met to go over order of the ceremony. My actual wedding day started off disasterous because it was supposed to be an outdoor ceremony, and it happened to storm on that day! Jennifer was so calm in helping me come up with a last minute backup plan and also with helping me come up with ways to move my outdoor decor inside and make it look like it was supposed to be there in the first place. We were supposed to leave in a gondola, but they wouldn't do it since it was raining, and she made some last minute moves and had a luxury suv pick us up instead. She was wonderful!!!! I can't say enough good things about her!
