What should have been one of the happiest days of our lives was disrupted by the MC's unprofessional behavior and poor attitude. The MC got into an argument/heated conversation with me (Bride) and Groom during the reception. This level of disrespect is absolutely unacceptable, especially on such an important and emotional day. Instead of helping create a smooth, celebratory flow, the MC's tone was dismissive and at times even combative when asked to correct mistakes such as the order of the wedding party entrance to reception. I got so overwhelmed . My bridesmaids and bridal attendants of the venue noticed the tension, and it cast a shadow over what should have been joyful moments. Thank god for my bridesmaids and bridal attendants jumped into action and tried to fix it. The MC still messed up entrance names and order. We expected professionalism, adaptability, and a supportive presence -- especially from someone hired to help lead the event. Sadly, we received the opposite. I would strongly urge future clients to request a different MC or look elsewhere for services that take weddings seriously. Rating: 1/5

In addition to the modern digital cameras, they used this lovely very old school camera that produced photos that went really well with the Art Deco theme of our wedding. Our biggest concern with the photography for our wedding was that it would all be indoors, this lacking the sunlight that helps for outdoor photography. Amaranth did a fantastic job with the photos, using the space and unique lighting circumstances. We happily recommend them to any of our friends that are looking. You'll look at your photos over and over again, it's one of the things that you want to make sure it's done well. Make sure they are in your short list.

My wedding flowers are truly the most beautiful creation I could imagine. In my head, I had ideas of dark red and romantic instagram flowers, but, with my wedding being in late June, Debbie delicately helped me to pivot to a much more seasonally appropriate and beautiful color scheme that still incorporated the same elements. She constructed the BEST chuppah adornments and made the most BEAUTIFUL and intricate bouquet I have ever seen! Her guidance and keen eye was so helpful, and she created the most perfect florals. My aisle flowers, bar flowers, centerpieces - EVERYTHING was stunning. Book Debbie from Flowers by Jo Ann - she is amazing.

I knew when I saw Debbie and Ivy's work that I absolutely had to have them (Flowers by Jo-Ann) for my wedding. I know if I'm admiring more traditional pinks and whites (not my thing) that if they could work with darker colors, it would be sublime. I can't go on enough. I really can't. Debbie is a dream to work with. We started with an hour long appointment going over every single thing that I needed or never knew I needed but really wanted. Debbie is very conscious of budget and I'm terrible because I didn't have a budget in mind at ALL, but knew I couldn't have every single thing I wanted (and what I wanted was every inch of the venue covered in arrangements by Flowers by Jo-Ann!!!) She will go over your vision with you (mine-- dark glamour, fall colors, Halloween but nothing too obvious) and create a Pinterest board. Then you'll have a phone call about a month out and discuss more. The result was PERFECTION. Seriously. I cannot cannot cannot stop gushing. Originally I thought I'd save some money and get creative with the table centerpieces myself. About 6 weeks out, I knew that wasn't going to happen, so I was able to discuss some affordable but still beautiful options with Debbie (candles, with flowers and greens). When I walked into the venue last week and saw how they transformed the place into a dark candle and floral paradise, I about lost my mind with happiness. It could not get any better than this Besides the large arrangements and centerpieces, my bouquet and the wedding party bouquets were so gorgeous, we couldn't stop holding them. There were artichokes, dark roses, pops of orange roses, dark purple mums, black calla lilies on mine, and other flowers that I can't quite identify. So beyond gorgeous. I wish these flowers would last forever. I brought everything home and I can't stop admiring them. It's kind of ridiculous. Thank you, Debbie and Ivy for creating the floral masterpieces of my dreams.

Our wedding photos are gorgeous, she has a great eye for the work she does.

She edited our photos beautifully and provided us with all the files so we could select our favorites for printing or sharing. Thanks Jordan!!!

I will never give anyone a bad review unless I had THAT bad of an experience - which I did with…read moreRedefined Audio Video Entertainment. We had hired Redefined for Photo Booth, and Day of Coordinators for our wedding day. This recounting is a bit long and tedious, but we wanted to present all the details so any future customers can make an informed decision. The morning of the wedding, my husband started the day delayed due to photo/video taking too long. This forced him to cut out most of his prayers/blessings he should have received from his family. This was not the fault of the photographer, who asked multiple times if there was enough time for a few more photos. The DoC said OK every time, and when photos were over she told my husband that he's running late and only has 15 minutes to get on the bus or the rest of the day will be delayed. When the Church ceremony was over, the DoC was responsible to read out the order of photos at the Church. They started reading from a different list than what we had approved/discussed, causing a confusion and delay. We were very strict on timing here because there was a mass right after out wedding so we had to quickly take pictures and get out - no time for error! We ended up shouting out the correct groups ourselves and had a family member go up to help the DoC but instead the DoC ended up getting mad at our family member. Once outside, we noticed half the groomsmen were missing. We found out later that the DoC had placed the cooler, food, cups, etc in the wrong bus. When the Groomsmen alerted the DoC of the mistake, the response was for the Groomsmen to correct it themselves. This caused them to miss photos and a tradition. At the reception hall we had a photo shoot before happy hour started. The schedule we made had time allotted for me to get pictures in my wedding dress, change, and take pictures in my saree. Here again the DoC allowed the photographers to take more time for wedding dress photos instead of putting their foot down to keep us on schedule. As a result, I didn't have time to eat or to take photos in my saree because it was time for us to start the reception. In the following days, we had a few people complaining about our photo booth. Apparently the photo booth operator was missing for about an hour at the peak time people were trying to take photos, after dinner and before/during the dance floor. A family member waiting on line started operating the booth himself just to get the line moving and keep people happy. When the booth operator finally returned, he started yelling at our cousin for touching his equipment. He then proceeded to shut down the entire booth early and pack up his equipment out of his anger and frustration. A week later, upon receiving our highlight video from our videographer, we realized that the sparklers we requested for our first dance never activated. We reached out to Tiju Daniel, the CEO and our main point of contact. We explained our perspective, thoughts, and experience as laid out above. Tiju was defensive and combative for every objection we had. Not once did he admit fault or apologize, instead offering up excuses or blatantly telling us we were wrong. We also talked to Tiju about our issues with the DoC. Tiju's response was that his coordinators went above and beyond for us by responding to all our questions and phone calls. To clarify, "all our calls" meant once a week and then every day the week of the wedding. This doesn't seem unreasonable to us. We brought up the fact that his contract specifically states "unlimited phone calls and texts", so we didn't understand how they were going above and beyond. Tiju just kept repeating that they went above and beyond without further explanation. When discussing the Photo Booth issues, Tiju insisted that there was no fault to his company, and that the operator was fully justified for getting angry and packing up early. Another failed attempt and reasoning with him. At this point we were very frustrated. We told Tiju we do not feel we received what we paid for, and would appreciate some degree of compensation. Tiju responded that he does not give out refunds, so this is not an option. After a few more attempts to have him see reason, we told him that we are unfortunately forced to write an honest review about our experience with Redefined. He asked if we were threatening him and immediately offered to give back the money for only the sparklers after he got reimbursed form the company he bought them from. Looking back now, it should have never gotten to this point. If we knew what we know now, we would never have signed a contract with Redefined. We urge anyone looking to hire this company to be aware that the price may be lower but the professionalism and product delivery will match that lower price point. I hope nobody ever has to experience what we did with Redefined.

Literally I was turning away free food so I could dance to the music.

I think most people in the crowd had so much fun dancing to the music. I would definitely want this DJ to be at another event that I go to.
