This was the DJ service used at a wedding I was at recently…read more I would never use this DJ again. Though he was friendly and had personality, he wasn't attuned to what the crowd wanted to listen to, and didn't seem to have anything we had requested. Perhaps he didn't have much experience, and therefore didn't realize that he should have been more questioning in the planning process. It seemed as though there was a planning FAIL overall, as the bride and groom didn't really give him a set list, and he didn't ask for one. The DJ is usually the one that keeps the wedding going, helps make it feel like a wedding, and this was not really it. I would not use this service, nor would I suggest it.

The communication was great, Kevin was very easy to get ahold of and answered all of our questions as they arose. Their timeline was very straightforward as well which made planning simple.

We couldn't have been happier with the way that things turned out!

Mark worked very hard to get all details in place in advance. He helped us create a nice timeline and happily honored every request we had. I found their pricing reasonable, and the uplighting was a great bonus!

I would absolutely recommend 2Way Entertainment and would hire them again in the future!

I can honestly say that Faith and her husband were the reason that our…read more wedding went so perfectly, was so organized, and made my wedding FAR better than I ever expected!! She is 110% organized, professional, and the kindest person you will ever meet. She is extremely talented, creative, and passionate about every single thing that she does. She makes the process much more than just taking photos for your wedding, from the initial stages of planning, to spending many sessions reviewing what was important to my husband and I, and Faith getting to know both of us, I felt that she should have been a guest at the wedding by the end of it! She had so many creative, realistic, and beautiful ideas, and I had my complete trust in her in everything that she did. She created a timeline that helped our day run smoothly, without rushing, and making sure that we got every single shot that I had asked for. She was extremely responsive, and sent many encouraging texts and check-ins during the planning process. She goes above and beyond in the presentation of her work, and in everything that she does. We got our photos back within 6 weeks, and got waaayyy more than we expected. Each photo is magazine worthy, beautiful in both its color and dynamic. She was able to truly capture the full emotion, feeling, sentiment of the day, and captured many special moments that I would never have seen otherwise. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and organization is one of a kind and I am truly honored to work with her. I am beyond pleased with HOW much she truly went above and beyond to make this day so perfect, to truly listen to what was important to us, and in getting to know my husband and I SO well. I do not have enough kind words to say about her, except she will absolutely make your wedding the best day ever! :)

I have hired Faith twice--once for my wedding, and another time to do professional headshots for my…read morehusband and me. I am obsessed with her photos; she is just beyond talented. At our wedding, she was SO good with all of our guests--but was an expert at making herself invisible when she needed to--and always knew where to find the perfect shot. For the headshots, my husband and I are not natural-born models and had no idea how to pose or anything, but she was ready to go and helped us out with that too. On top of being talented, though, she's just an awesome person. She has a great sense of humor, a ton of patience, and knows how to make anyone feel comfortable.

I don't write one star reviews, but I have a friend who is currently wedding planning and went to…read morethis establishment for a tour and experienced such blatantly rude, ignorant and xenophobic behavior that I feel like I have to write a review just to warn/prepare prospective wedding planners. First off, the venue coordinator was generally rude and condescending the entire time, asking my friend repeatedly if he had read the email she had sent them, while also commenting on the fact that she expected them to have more questions? Wedding planning is obviously stressful but part of the job is customer service and you can NOT be actively rude! Anytime they asked a question that she clearly didn't have a good answer to she would downplay it by responding condescendingly and make them feel weird for asking . One example that felt particularly alarming to me was that my friend asked if they have any single person restrooms to accommodate non-binary guests, or families. She responded by saying that "we've never had that issue before, we've had trans here before but they just used the mens room". While I won't try to begin to unpack all of the insane parts of that response, I just want to say that a normal and sane way to respond would have been "yes, we have single person bathrooms" or "no we do not have single person bathrooms". Then at another point in the tour, my friend asked what the biggest issue they tend to have at the venue is. I feel like this is a common enough question that event planners and owners of venues should have a quick response to, but instead this woman again had an alarming reply. She basically said that "timing" is difficult because some people run late which makes things complicated at the venue, and then she SPECIFICALLY said that "island people" (read: black people) tend to run late and that's causes issues. Not only did that not answer the question at all, she basically said "problems that this venue has? Well when we host black people there are problems". Excuse me????? Who do you think you are??? Literally writing this is making me laugh out loud at how ridiculous of a response that is. The only reason my friend toured this place was because he had gone to a wedding here before, and ironically after this insane experience he called that friend and she told him that while she loved her wedding 100% if she could do it again she would do it somewhere else because the venue coordinator was so awful. Apparently local businesses also avoid working with this place because of this woman. Overall, this was just a horribly and unnecessarily awkward experience for my friend, and I just hope that any couple looking at venues reads this before touring to spare them the stress of having to meet with this woman. Its a HUGE shame too because it really is a stunning venue! They should just get new planners :)

Independence Harbor out in Assonet, MA is a nice place for an outdoor wedding. Flowers were a…read moreblooming in August. While we weren't allowed to begin arriving till the half hour leading up to the ceremony, they had plenty of parking and a nice site. The ceremony was held at their classic white gazebo, then we were led indoors into the banquet hall with 16 large round tables each able to seat 10 guests, and a long table along the side for the wedding party. Beautiful carved floral decorations were set about the stationary displays while smaller carvings were to be found on the trays carried about. The passed appetizers were pretty tasty. The chowder was okay. The prime rib and accompanying sides were pretty good. Service was fine.

Don was always prompt and so helpful each time I reached out via email or phone; he provided us with awesome options for our vows, ideas for venues, and was so flexible and accomodating leading up to the wedding. The wedding itself was everything I've ever dreamed of. Kathy was so professional and easy to work with, and her photographs were absolutely gorgeous. Don put us both at ease with his carefree, humorous style, at the same time making the ceremony so meaningful. The photos were fun and captured everything that we wanted and then some, and were ready within days! The artistic rendering of select photos was a really unique touch as well. I am so thankful and happy to have found Don & Kathy, and would highly recommend Weddings with a Heart to anyone. They are the best!

The one star is related to the photography and only because I had to leave a star…read more I preface this review stating that the ceremony itself was fantastic. Don was great. However, his wife. AWFUL. Rude, demanding, rushed. Manic. It seems like they just woke up one day and decided to start charging people to take photos. Out of the over 200 shots his wife took, I may have one or two usable photos. Usable being generous. His wife had absolutely no idea how to use a camera, use light, angle a photo or even make sure everyone's eyes are open. Every photo was washed out. It seems that they tried to filter the photos because they were too over exposed. Instead they came out harsh. It looked as if they were shot through a bad instagram filter. But that wasn't even the worst. His wife demanded that no one else at the site take photos so we couldn't even see if anyone else was able to get a nice photo. The only two good photos that we actually framed came from my sister and her iPhone before his wife screamed that they don't allow other people to take photos. I will add that there were only 5 other people at our wedding so it's not like we were demanding these huge perfect photos. While the ceremony itself was nice, if we had to do it over again (we wish we could), I would most certainly have paid more to get usable photos. I would avoid at all costs.
