I would definitely not recommend Kyle. We hired him for our wedding and it was really the only…read moremistake we made - every other vendor we had was great. It was a challenge for us to book a DJ since we are currently living in California so we couldn't meet him before the wedding in Victoria. I think one minute with this guy would have told us to go elsewhere. Kyle was unprofessional, showing up 2 hours later than the time he requested and not bringing the equipment with him that he had promised. He was also rude to both my parents and our guests. He complained constantly about everything. He even sent rude text messages to my friends correcting their spelling of band names they requested - who does that? I could have forgiven all this if he had been good at his job. He totally messed up the transition between songs during our ceremony. It couldn't have been more abrupt. He also insisted on playing all of these terribly mash-ups that he must have put together himself that nobody could possibly dance to instead of the songs that we were requesting. I don't want to make a laundry list of complaints I just want to warm others to look elsewhere for a DJ. I'm sure they are all better than Kyle.

I am quite surprised to see the poor review by A H. Kyle DJ'd our wedding and I was very happy with…read morehis service. I found him to be professional and punctual. Kyle provided the music for our ceremony at Beacon Hill Park and immediately after had to rush to our reception location to set up since our reception venue had tight time restrictions for set up. (He was not allowed to set up before the ceremony since it's a restaurant open for lunch). This only gave him about 2ish hours to get there and set up. We were quite concerned but he was quite confident that it could be done. Of course, it was all done when we got there (lights, speakers, and all) and I would have been fine if it was a bit behind schedule considering the circumstances. I had a list of songs I wanted to use and of course he was able to play all the unusual songs I had requested during the ceremony as well as most if not all the songs I requested during the reception. Some may say I was quite specific since I even had a list of certain genre of songs I wanted during entrance, cocktail hour,dinner time, and others for the dance portion and he follow through 100%. He was also our emcee which I fear would be impersonal but I wanted all my guests to enjoy themselves and he did an overall GREAT job. No awkwardness at all. I must also commend Kyle because he had no hesitation when we requested he be present for our unorganized rehearsal the day before the wedding and we are glad he did because it was helpful to learn our timing and he offered suggestions as well. He also took his time to contact our venue about set up and things he needed, one less thing I needed to worry about. I am also going to note that we also rented a projector screen that was awkwardly large from another vendor which was kind of a hassle for us to bring to the reception venue since they wouldn't have space to store it before the ceremony. Kyle offered to take it in his truck and set it up for us at the venue, as well as the set up the projector itself. At the end of the night, he even offered to return it for us since he had space in his vehicle. We couldn't believe it since again, one less thing to worry about. Because we are out of towners, we only met Kyle once or twice(rehearsal) before the big day but he was incredibly responsive to my many emails. I am more of an email person and when someone emails me within a few hours, I truly appreciate that. In terms of pricing, I didn't do too much shopping but he fit the bill just right for us and especially with the service we received, I would hire Kyle no question.

Chris absolutely lives up to all the 5-star reviews that he has received. As those reading this…read morereview probably already know, it is a daunting task hopping onto the internet to search for a DJ (or anything else for that matter!), and so if you are lucky enough to have found his listing before sifting through a huge number of others, you really can stop here. Chris was FANTASTIC - he was exceptional to work with: organized, professional, courteous and gracious...he has a gift for reading the crowd and he knows how to get people moving (and enjoying themselves!). We hired Chris for a staff holiday party - he had to choose music that appealed to a wide-range of tastes, ages and cultural backgrounds. He nailed it! I would absolutely, wholeheartedly recommend Chris (and plan on hiring him again for our many events throughout the year).

Luke was one of the biggest highlights of our wedding day! My husband and I both admittedly have…read morephotography phobia so the idea of having a stranger document our wedding day seemed like a strange concept. After taking the advice of many brides before me that I would regret not having the photos I found Luke. It was actually Luke's blog that led us to picking our wedding venue. Seriously you can't help to fall in love with the venues that Luke shoots. One coffee date later with his wife and my fiancé at the time and we knew we were in the best hands. I did get a few email quotes from other photographers and Luke's rates were note only incredibly fair there were no add on bells and whistles. The day of our wedding I didn't want Luke to leave. He was incredible with us, our wedding party and our guests. He was the type of guy you want to find a way to remain friends with. Oh and the turnaround of photos were quick so we could happily relive every moment. I can't recommend Luke enough for your wedding day. Book early as he will soon be one of the most sought after wedding photographers.

Every time…read moreI look at our photos I feel like I'm right back to our wedding day, feeling those same feelings all over again. Russell had known Luke from school, and although I was a little timid about taking pictures with someone I didn't know very well, Luke immediately put me at ease. We laughed, joked, and experienced one of the greatest days of our lives. Luke was able to find unique and creative spaces to take pictures in our little town, places that I never would have thought of! Our wedding would not have been the same without Luke. I cannot wait to take pictures again with him one day!

Prospect Lake Community Hall is such an awesome venue for a wedding reception! They have everything…read moreyou need, included their big kitchen, tables, chairs, podium, arch, benches etc. We rented the chair covers, which I would recommend because the chairs aren't very pretty but they are VERY comfortable. The hall was a blank slate for us to decorate however we pleased and it looked wonderful when we were done! They have lots of hooks to hang things and you have full control of the lights so you can dim them to create a nice ambience. Their bathrooms are very clean and are a great size for larger events. Having the back room for the buffet was great so that the catering crew could cleanup without guests seeing them. Hiring their take-down crew was also well worth it. All around it was a great experience and I could see us throwing other parties here in the future! Highly recommended!

And this isn't even getting into her work, which is obviously incredible. The things she does with light are nothing short of amazing, you'll have a hard time choosing which portraits to frame, and she takes some of the very best dance floor shots of any photographer I've worked with (and let me tell you, dance floors are hard, because they're so often very-dimly lit.) I highly recommend her to all of my clients.
