He is kind, genuine, and extremely patient when it comes to any questions or concerns you might have about your big day. He is always willing to talk on the phone or set up a meeting about anything you need! But the real highlight was our actual wedding day. Kevin goes out of his way to make the day feel fun and stress-free. He has incredible time management and organization to keep things running smoothly, all while keeping everyone smiling, laughing, and having a great time! He is the perfect day-of coordinator, and a really wonderful photographer as well. We are already head-over-heels for our preview photos -- he has such a talent for capturing beautiful photographs... and he even managed to make my 13-year-old niece smile (not an easy task!) And his skills as a DJ are just as incredible... he managed to get so many people out on the dance floor, and our guests were all raving about how fun he was! He helped to make our wedding day the most amazing day of our lives. We are so grateful!

His level of energy, excitement and entertainment is above and beyond. Your wedding guests cannot help but get on the dance floor, it becomes contagious. The guests LOVE Kevin, seriously adore him- I never knew it was possible to have so many complements in my choice of DJ/Photographer. One of the reasons we hired Amazing DJ was because it was a one stop shop, made it easy. You got a DJ, photographer, photo booth, and wedding planning, plus we did engagement photos ahead of time. No need to coordinate or have multiple vendors. Love love love all the photos. From the wedding, they capture the essence of our guests and feel of the event. So many photos to choose from! And the Photo booth- so many fun props and hats- all my guests said it was the best photo booth at a wedding ever! Finally as a wedding planner, he rocks it. He makes sure your day runs smoothly by helping you plan effectively ahead of time. Did I mention how great he is with kids and pets? Kevin truely made my wedding and our guests' experience of our day amazing.

I had two photographers from the emilie inc. team and they did a FANTASTIC job at our wedding! I…read morewas confident based on the portfolios I had seen, and they delivered. I love the style and how well they blended the natural environment and elements of our venue into the shots. There's a great balance between the details and the documentary style shots, and candid portraits of the wedding party and guests. Leading up to the wedding, we had no problem getting our questions answered and paying through their online invoicing system. We were able to visit the office and meet our photographers ahead of time and the whole experience was wonderful. We were welcomed with warmth and cupcakes! They pay attention to the details of the whole experience. This is a top-notch company. I had two disappointments (which is the reason why I didn't give a 5-star review. It would be 4.5 if I could!). The first is that photog team did not set up any fill lights for the formal portraits. I should have asked about this ahead of time, but I thought it was standard for professional portraits. At least at every wedding I have been to, there were a few diffusers or flashes set up even if the shooters were photojournalism/documentary style wedding photographers. The faces and eye sockets are more shadowed than I would have hoped. Also, in retrospect, we weren't getting any fun alternate angles for the group portraits, like looking over our shoulders, holding out our bouquets, holding hands, or moving to have a different background such as the lake in addition to having trees as the background. Alas! The second disappointment is that despite two photogs being there for over an hour while there was live music at our reception, we didn't receive a single image of the amazing seven-piece band in action. I would definitely recommend emilie inc. - just make sure you communicate about exactly what your expectations are ahead of time. Once the wedding schedule gets rolling, it is hard to remember your photography wish list. There are more important things to focus on, like being present for your loved ones and celebration! :)

Finding the right photographer you can rely on to capture the essence and beauty of a wedding can be a stressful task for any bride. That is why I set out to select a photographer as one of my first tasks after getting engaged. I am very fortunate to know a lot of wonderful wedding photographers but felt the best connection to Emilie. I knew from the beginning that we were in good hands. Emilie even called to talk to me about my vision for the wedding on her family vacation to Disney! She works masterfully with angles and lighting to capture moments in the most creative and elegant ways possible. We loved the way she interacted with us and our guests to make us all feel comfortable and at ease throughout the ceremony and reception. Emilie captures emotion at its purest and most candid moments, so that when you look back, you can easily relive those precious memories. Emilie definitely helped make our day feel even more special, and we're so incredibly happy with our choice of selecting her as our photographer to capture one of the most important days of our lives. We supremely recommend her!

We are…read morelocated in SW New Hampshire and with Portland being a 2+ hour drive, I needed assurance that the venue we chose would understand our needs, meet a reasonable budget, be responsive, impress and not cause embarassment! Our options were Keeley's or a local hotel ballroom. I was the organizer and the more I talked to the hotel event planners with their grandiose menus and high prices, the more I appreciated Keith's straightforwardness and practicality. I signed up with Keeley's. Our conference went quite well with about 50 attending. The generous space that we had included two big sections of the facility with tables and lecturn/screen in one room and displays and buffet in the other worked out very well. Their food as a part of the business special was very good with lots of variety. The day started with coffee, tea and a nice continental breakfast. Nothing fancy, but the smell of fresh baked cinnimon rolls really broke the ice with our attendees, many of whom we were meeting for the first time. The microphones, PA system and projector provided by Keeley's worked flawlessly. The high speed wifi did too. It's a family business. Keith is a good guy to work with: helpful, thoughtful and experienced. They deal with lots of wedding receptions and other family gatherings but he really likes business meetings and understands the needs of a medium sized business like ours. Other good things: Lots of (free) parking. A well kept building. Responsive staff. Timely food service. Good coordination with our needs. Easy access from I-95. 15 minutes from downtown.

We had a very touch and go sort of reception where my husband and I just tossed in new activities as people started to look bored. It's a wonderful venue and I whole-heartedly recommend working with them. Want to give people a heads up that this is a dry facility so if your wedding MUST have alcohol look elsewhere. My husband and I were happy to save the extra $$$ and go alcohol free.

First off I must let you know that my son and daughter-in-law were married last year and due to COVID restrictions were not allowed to have a large reception. Well the restrictions were lifted and the party was all set to go. My wife began the planning process over a year ago meeting, texting and talking with Cami who was the Heritage Center manager. She helped me plan the reception decor and food options. We decided on the New York Buffet which included prime rib, shrimp ziti scampi, parmesian crusted chicken, garden salad, roasted garlic potatoes and and assortment of steamed veggies. All the food was delicious, however the prime rib and roasted potatoes were over the top outstanding. We had multiple complements! Kudos goes to the chef. The decor was beautifully displayed with blue bows on the white covered chairs.

An old review of mine, tweaked a little bit since posting back in August 2010 on a wedding website:…read more Our wedding was absolutely stunning in the smaller (da Vinci) room. The staff do a phenomenal job in making the room beautiful. The food was wonderful, the service was excellent. The servers were top notch--and practically invisible--throughout the night. We were incredibly happy to have had our wedding at the Heritage Center. The one reason for the 4 stars is that Kim, the manager, was very difficult to get in touch with until the week of our wedding. While I understand when people are busy, I didn't feel that my questions were out-of-line or overboard, and it was supposed to be a pretty important day for me. I found the best results were obtained by arriving in person because emails and voicemails went unanswered. TIP: Spring for a package deal, the chair covers and bows were fabulous and made the room seem that much more elegant.

From start to finish, from the very first time we viewed the venue, until months later- our wedding was seamless, amazing, and most importantly, stress free. The Red Barn was the first venue we looked at. We knew we wanted an outdoor ceremony, outdoor space for cocktail hour, and a beautiful, big room. The Red Barn checked all the boxes. We put down our deposit the very next day as we knew this was a venue we did not want to sleep on! Planning was SO easy and straightforward. As soon as we booked, we got set up with the amazing Alex, who was going to be our day of coordinator. She was communicative, helpful, and patient. She responded quickly to every annoying query I had, she kept us updated with our timeline of planning, and she was understanding when oopsie- we missed the tasting we were supposed to go to. She graciously set us up at the next one with no questions or drama. The planning process was very smooth due to Alex's expertise. The rehearsal was stress free and straightforward. The day of our wedding was more than we could ask for. Literally everything went to plan due to Alex being so on top of everything. She was kind to the many personalities in both of our families and felt more like a friend to us by the end of night. I cannot say enough good things about the Red Barn as a venue for a wedding. It is absolutely gorgeous, I feel like we did not need too many decorations as the venue itself is stunning. The food was delicious! During cocktail hour, it felt like there were so many servers with so much food, on top of the stunning cheese and fruit display. The kitchen was also very helpful and sensitive to the allergies in our group- one being my husband who had a nut allergy. The drinks and bartenders were fabulous- we told Alex that our group drank a lot of espresso martinis and the bartenders were ready when we started ordering them. AND they were delicious to boot. The staff was fabulous! All of the servers were professional and personable. The price for everything and the many options for food and drink were well suited to many budgets. I could gush for many more paragraphs about how amazing this venue is. Alex and the crew have made the Red Barn into a well-oiled machine. I cannot say anything bad about our experience and I know I can attribute that to them. Our guests are still talking about our venue months later. If you want to have the most amazing wedding day at a beautiful venue with wonderful people, do yourself a favor and book the Red Barn. You will not regret it. Thank you Alex and crew for the most memorable day and a fantastic experience!
