    I often see "nature-based ceremony" on your posts. What does that mean or how is it different from a traditional ceremony?

    I wrote them both with the same format such as an opening, and marriage advice with an option to exchange rings. I have basic vows with the option for you to exchange personal vows in addition to what I say. They both have a closing, optional kiss… Read more

    Can't say enough great things about Tommy! He was extremely professional and kept the wedding…read moremoving on time. My husband thought he worked at the wedding venue at first because Tommy was so involved and helpful during the wedding ceremony and reception. Tommy also did a great job of playing the type of music we requested. I especially appreciated that he didn't play cheesy music or make over-the-top statements on the mic like some DJs I've seen at weddings. I would 100% recommend Tommy to friends and family!

    We met with a couple DJs in town, and pretty much immediately knew we found "the one" with Tommy…read more He was awesome to work with, smart, had great ideas for songs (we LOVE the Justin Timberlake/Marvin Gaye Suit and Tie mashup he played during our cake cutting), and was super thorough and organized. I loved using his online form to put all my must-have songs out there for him, but I'm not sure how much he actually referred to that! Regardless, the music was perfect, everyone danced like crazy, and multiple people told us it was the best wedding they'd been to. I think that's the ultimate compliment, and speaks largely to the music/DJ. At the wedding (and we even did a rehearsal with our officiant and Tommy ahead of time!), Tommy helped with all the "pre" stuff and ensured the bridal party knew what they were doing (and me - because I was so excited/happy, I didn't know where I was going when!). But during the event, he was pretty much quiet, you rarely see him, and he sticks to the music/making sure people are dancing and having fun. Our guests loved that. Thanks, Tommy, you were awesome, and we loved working with you. I wrote letters to Luke throughout our engagement year, and gave it to him on the wedding day. One of the letters says, "So glad we finally picked out DJ tonight. Tommy's gonna rock the shit out of our wedding." And sure enough, you did. :) Thanks!

    Bendora Wedding is WONDERFUL and Patti is WONDERFUL! My husband and I got married in November and…read moreeverything was perfect and exactly how we envisioned! Patti was so responsive and helped us through the whole process from start to finish. We chose the Civil Package, which was perfect for us. The music was exactly what we wanted! The photographers were also amazing and we got great pictures with just us and many with family members. All in all, I would definitely recommend! We felt very well taken care of and our day was perfect.

    Had my wedding at Bendora Wedding in Worthington, Ohio. Patti was pleasant to work with before and…read moreduring the wedding itself, and the venue is a nice small space for an intimate ceremony. Unfortunately, the experience after booking and after the wedding became frustrating, and several important issues were never properly addressed. The first issue was with the package pricing. We only had two guests attending my mom and sister. We were told we had to book the next package tier because the smallest package did not allow guests, which cost about $200 more. During the wedding, Patty mentioned that because we only had two guests, we actually could have used the smaller package with just a small additional fee. However, when I followed up by email afterward asking about this, she denied ever saying that. That was disappointing and felt dishonest. The second major issue involved the photographer. Patti forgot to inform the photographer that we were scheduled, so the photographer arrived about 1.5 hours late. Because of this, many important pre-ceremony photos including dress photos, ring photos, and other moments getting ready had to be taken on a phone instead of professionally. We paid a significant amount for photography, so this was extremely frustrating. The delay also caused the rest of the session to feel rushed. Communication after the wedding was also poor. We were never given updates on when to expect our wedding photos, and I had to send multiple emails asking about them. I was repeatedly told the gallery had already been emailed to me, but nothing was ever received in my inbox or spam folder. It took almost two more weeks of back-and-forth before I finally received the link. Overall, while the venue itself is decent for a small wedding, the lack of communication, scheduling mistakes, and refusal to acknowledge concerns left a very negative impression. I understand that mistakes happen, but the way these issues were handled afterward is why I cannot recommend this venue. There are many better options for couples planning a smaller-budget wedding.

    I had the privilege of officiating (as a pastor) a wedding where Meggie served as the coordinator…read more Without question, Meggie is (by far) the best coordinator I've ever worked with. From start to finish, Meggie and her team were organized, professional and put everyone at ease, even during a blizzard. She also had just the right balance between being directive, yet allowing everyone to give input and make their preferences known. I recommend her !

    It is difficult for me to even know where to begin in describing what a gift Meggie Francisco is…read more Meggie does not just plan events--she designs, executes, and creates a deeply purposeful and indelible gathering that sets the stage for joy, celebration, and meaningful moments. I speak from the perspective of both the bridesmaid and the bride. As a bridesmaid in one of her weddings, I truly had the most stress-free day. Meggie took care of each and every detail with the utmost professionalism and careful communication, which meant that as bridesmaids we were free to focus 100% on celebrating the bride and groom. It's the only time I've been a bridesmaid without any confusion or harried running around behind the scenes on that day. Meggie provided me a true gift in getting to be fully present in every way for my dear friends. As the bride, Meggie was a fierce, strong, yet graceful, servant-hearted leader. She is a professional in every way, a clean communicator, and yet a genuine friend. She seamlessly carries all these roles in order to nail every detail. From having to navigate finding me a new hair stylist in the last two weeks, to finding creative ways to execute our dreams within our budget, to putting out last-minute fires, to building an incredible wedding vendor team that pulled off everything without a hitch, Meggie does everything. And the best part, she does it all with grace, class, and a genuine compassion that makes her an amazing gem. Please look no further! Meggie Francisco is truly world-class.
