Danielle is a miracle worker. 2020 has brought so much stress into my life, never mind trying to…read moreget married this year. We finally decided to elope and even that stressed me out. Danielle took ALL of that stress away and delivered the most amazing day. I didn't have to worry about finding vendors and interviewing/getting quotes, she was able to help me with that which was so appreciated. Trying to plan this day from states away would have been near impossible without the help from Grandest Gatherings. Danielle has such style and a mind for design and colors. I wanted to be surprised the day of and she completely delivered. Our picnic was stunning, she thought of every little detail even down to having a sleeping pad under the blanket to make sure we were comfortable. As if having someone plan out your elopement and hiking about 3 miles round trip while lugging a charcuterie board and pillows wasn't enough, she's such a friendly bubbly person! I felt like we were friends right away. I'm currently looking for reasons to have her plan another event because it was that magical.

For more details as to why Danielle is one of the best humans around, please read on... After our wedding was postponed due to the pandemic, and our first attempt at an international elopement was canceled, we decided to elope in the Catskills.  With six weeks notice, Danielle was able to help us coordinate and design an incredible elopement, including the ceremony, brunch, and dinner.  Leading up to our elopement, we were in close communication with Danielle, discussing our priorities and what type of design we were looking for.  We went back and forth on design elements, and she welcomed our input.  Danielle was able to curate an elopement based on our budget and wants and was genuinely excited during the entire process.  She wanted this day to be just as memorable as we did.   Danielle coordinated with vendors on our behalf, coordinating a greenery runner for dinner with the existing florist that we were already working with for our bouquet and boutonniere. She found vendor options for brunch and dinner, taking into account our food preferences, and presented us with a wide range to choose from based on our budget.  She was also able to use her network to find us the perfect charcuterie board to compliment our dinner.   The day before our elopement, Danielle and our photographer scouted for the perfect brunch location.  We're told that she cleaned algae and pools of water off of the designated brunch rock at the waterfall so that it would be dry the next day (it had rained the day before).  The day of our elopement, Danielle lugged everything for brunch down to the waterfall (she's a beast!) and had it all set up for us when we arrived after our mountain ceremony.  She also kindly shooed people away from the spot that she had so meticulously picked out the day before.  Danielle was in constant communication with our photographer, so that she knew exactly when we would be arriving.   While the design of our brunch was absolutely stunning (plating of food, candles, pillows, blankets, even a comfy pad to sit on), it was the little touches that really impressed us.  Danielle got us fresh coffee when the existing coffee from our brunch vendor had just sat out too long and had some additional surprises in store.  She picked out a location that gave us the most amazing view of the waterfall while enjoying chicken and waffles and prosecco.  A few hours after brunch, Danielle arrived at our Airbnb to start arranging everything for our dinner.  We left for a sunset hike and Danielle went to work.  She completely redesigned the patio of our Airbnb (with the host's permission) for the most intimate and perfect elopement dinner, including moving a very large gas grill, table, patio furniture, etc.  She even restrung the host's bistro lights so that it was a continuous line of lit bulbs with the burned out lights out of view! Danielle ordered our dinner for us on our elopement day and helped us pivot when the original restaurant closed for the day unexpectedly.  I can't forget to mention that Danielle is a serious fire whisperer!  She started fires for us the night before our elopement and the night of and took over maintaining it on our elopement so that we could relax and enjoy the evening.  She can seriously do it all. While we had a schedule of events for the day, the communication between Danielle and our photographer allowed for the timeline to shift so that to us, everything seemed to occur seamlessly even when we were "off schedule" by an hour, which I know is no easy task.  Danielle surprised us with so many additional touches on our elopement day, surprises that I feel I shouldn't list so that future clients get to experience the same joy that we did when we discovered the additional touches. I'm betting that she also did so many additional little things that we had no idea about. And it honestly felt like we were hanging out with a friend that was busting their butt to give us the most amazing elopement day.  Seriously. Danielle is absolutely amazing and made our elopement so incredibly special and memorable.  Stop reading this review and go book Grandest Gatherings for your next event NOW!

Jeff was super easy to communicate with, very responsive and flexible, and they worked well with our coordinator. The service was great, and the bus was a huge hit. Our wedding was at a pretty remote location, so all our options were pretty expensive. For not much more money we were able to rent one of their red VW Buses, which everyone loved. It added so much to the aesthetic of the wedding, a really nice touch on the green grass next to our white tent. The photo booth itself was great, and they had lots of fun props, a huge hit for adults and kids alike! Photo Booth Planet provided a book for our photo strips, and made sure each guest in the photo walked away with their own copy as well. They were also able to put our wedding logo on the strip, a nice personalized touch! They provided a thumb drive with all the photos, and then sent us a link to a digital album shortly after the wedding. We would recommend Photo Booth Planet in a heartbeat for great service and a little extra decorative flair!

The lady who took my order over the phone was very helpful and professional. I told her what price range I wanted to stay in and the types of flowers that I liked.

My mother-in-law absolutely raved about the arrangement that she received and said that they were gorgeous! I will definitely order flowers from here again. Thanks for a good experience.

Art and Frame shop GONE VIRAL!!! Beware puzzle doers, pandemic or no pandemic. In June 2021, the…read moreshop had caught onto the puzzle trend in survival mode. Puzzle sales rocketed. What a great concept to increase sales with puzzles and promote framing to preserve a piece of art you reassembled. Or should I say, pieces of toil, concentration, frustration, AH HA moments, early morning coffee, late evening red eyed sessions, to 10 minutes "work from home" breaks that easily clocked 30 minutes and maybe more (I won't tell). The shop is classic industrial period Main Street, prior history unknown. The shop, framing Mecca. The puzzles and selection of arts and crafts impressively displayed for browsing. We found two Winter puzzles to gift others in the family. Our own Winter subject still in deliberation. Despite, we asked for a business card and proudly made our purchase. Today's first morning frost on our grass reminded me of two important tasks: Order our puzzle and to finally share our experience at the Village Frame Shoppe & Gallery (of puzzles).

Incredible Artist!!…read more Working alongside Anne at a recent weddings was a dream. Their eye for detail is simply unmatched, and every shot feels like a work of art. As a wedding florist, I'm always eager to see how the floral arrangements will be captured--and Anne captured every bloom beautifully! Their ability to beautifully compose the flowers within the greater story of the day is nothing short of magic. Every image feels like a timeless painting, capturing not only the beauty of the couple but also the vibrancy and life of the decor. On top of their immense talent, they are an absolute joy to collaborate with--kind, patient, and wonderfully creative. I am in awe of how they manage to turn fleeting moments into lasting memories. If you're looking for a photographer who sees the world through an artistic lens and will capture the essence of your wedding day in a truly special way, look no further than Anne Mientka. Highly, highly recommended!

Seeing the joy in my husbands eyes while we poured over our wedding album was pretty priceless, too. We are so, so happy with our wedding photographs.
