What is the purpose of going around to tables to ask for request at a wedding if you aren't even going to play any of the requested songs? I understand that there may not be time to play every song, but we requested 2 songs, one of which someone else had also requested and neither song was played. We were aware of 2 other songs that were also requested and also never got played. It was hard to tell if the DJ knew the songs that we requested. Even though they were top hits that are currently played on the radio continuously. A little frustrating and several other people mentioned how they didn't love the music selection. However, it wasn't my wedding, so I made the most of it and had a good time anyway. Hopefully rather than having this be a negative review, it is more of a constructive review for future events/weddings.

She was super friendly and laid back and was a lovely presence to have around us on our wedding day. We hired her because the quality of her photos stood out to me among all of the portfolios I looked at and I was so happy to feel the same way about the photos she took for us. Her shots were so flattering and sophisticated and had an artistic element that I have no doubt will make them timeless. I could not recommend her more highly!

They were hands down the most unprofessional event planning team I have ever experienced. All smiles and good wishes on the onset, but 'oh-so-busy-all-the-time' thereafter. Expect unreturned emails and phone calls, petty upsells, strategic disorganization, no vision, some rudeness and a lot of weird math. After about the umpteenth 'now what' it sadly felt like this small-minded, sidewinder approach was what they thought was smart business.

BRIDES BEWARE: Hidden Fees, and unprofessional coordinator Parker…read more Renting the basilica for your wedding is very expensive, $13k expensive, but what they don't disclose is that $13k is just the start of the fees they will randomly hit you with. If you're like me and money is valuable to you, then please keep reading before you book. Here is a *short* list of all the ways Parker at Basilica scams you: -1) First contract included a caveat that IF basilica gets a liquor license within 6 months you must pay them and undisclosed amount for alcohol. Parker refused to give us an amount to budget for this secret clause. -2) Next issue was when Parker rented out the Friday of our wedding without telling us the amount we would receive back. She promised us we'd "split" the cost which would mean $6k, but in reality we only received $2k back, and the Friday bride still paid the full amount. When we said no, we were told it's too late to go back and she wouldn't even issue us a new contract detailing out the change because she didn't have time. At this point we knew our contract meant nothing. -3) Third issue was when we wanted to bring in all our own rentals, including lights, since of course the lights are extra. Parker told us it would cost us a fee to remove the lights, and that we had to pay to rent the lights from her. -4) Fourth issue was after we just gave in to paying for lights that we couldn't take down, we decided to add on tables. We originally ordered 20 to be safe but we got our final count and only needed 15. Parker told us we couldn't change the tables because the Friday bride needed more. -5) One week before our wedding, we were then told we owed tax on the rentals for the lights and table rentals, even after we had her confirm there were no more incremental hidden fees. -6) Lastly our "refundable" security deposit apparently contains a $400 non-refundable cleaning fee which we also found out days before the wedding. I pray that the Basilica hires a new, professional coordinator so no other couple has to go what we went through. Good luck!!

Not only did he do an exceptional job, but he was kind, patient, and very accommodating. We made last-minute changes and Craig was able to adjust instantly and provide seamless service. Considering he had never met us before the moment he needed to DJ for us, he seemed to immediately sense our vibe and connect with the room. We got many compliments saying that the DJ was fantastic. Wonderful personality and exceptional effort. We couldn't be happier!

In today's market, photos of a house are much more important than they were years ago. If you don't have good photos, you are neglecting one of your greatest marketing tools. Sarah and Tom are professional, artistic, responsive to emails, texts and calls. They know how to maximize the shot for each room and outdoor area. They have suggestions but they also listen diligently to my suggestions and the wishes of my seller. The photos are beautifully done and these two pros are a pleasure to work with! I highly recommend S&T to anyone in need of photographs where second best just won't do.

They spent a ton of time with us the day of the shoot and took an outrageous amount of photos. They were very patient with my almost three year old, unruly doggies and husband! I love that they went to the site ahead of time and made a plan to where and how they wanted photos done. They had visions for family and doggies, family without doggies, couple, father and son, and mother and son. They even brought a shawl for the couples section. They were great with distracting my son. Their editing is superb. Having the two of them made for fantastic shots close and far away. We received edited photos in roughly two weeks which is a very short period of time considering the amount they took and the quality of the editing. We are so excited to have these photos for memories and gifts. Would absolutely recommend them and look forward to working with them again in the future.
