Every time they did, the crew that we had the chance to meet (Jennie, Michelle, and Christy) did all within their power to help us make sure our day went smoothly. When they had to switch our reception venue, they gave us a discount. When our original planner became unavailable, they immediately had us set up with someone new who we heard from within days. When the person who was supposed to perform our ceremony was stuck in another state due to the pandemic (with less than a weeks notice) they helped us get everything set up so she could perform the ceremony over Skype. I was so nervous things wouldn't go right yesterday, but thanks to everyone, we were able to enjoy the night, dance, and appreciate the time we had with our loved ones who did so much to make sure they were there.

DO NOT BOOK THIS VENUE…read more Stone Gate was once a beautiful and professional wedding venue, but after being sold twice this year alone, my experience was incredibly disappointing. Before signing my contract, I made it clear that I was planning a destination wedding December 2027, and would need flexibility with planning timelines as I wanted everything planned at minimum, 6 months before the wedding given some exceptions to the event designs. I was assured they would accommodate this. Then the person I was working with, got fired. I had to reshare everything for my event as there were little to no notes in my account. The new person assured me that everything previously discussed would still be the same. Based on those promises, I paid the $1,000 deposit, scheduled a planning meeting, and spent just over $2,000 traveling to Utah with my bridal party. After signing and paying $1,800 (deposit and first payment) communication completely fell apart. Despite repeatedly trying to confirm my appointment, I received no response until days before my trip, after many calls to the planner and property number. Finally, I got a callback and was informed the planner I had been working with left the company, and no notes about my account or scheduled meeting were passed on, for now the second time. They assured me I could still have my meeting, despite the planner no longer being with the company. When I arrived, I discovered they had only scheduled me for a venue tour.. not the planning meeting I had traveled there for. The one person on site had no idea what was going on, couldn't find notes in my account, and was unable to help as no one seemed to be answering his phone calls. It was clear there was a serious lack of organization, communication, and standard professionalism. Not to mention they couldn't remember my name, wedding date, or appointment details. I've never felt so overlooked by a company. There was also no manager on site, or even in the country I could speak to. I was then informed that I would not be able to meet with a planner until five months before my wedding, despite being told the exact opposite before signing. Had I known that, I never would have booked with them as I cannot make a special trip 5 months before my wedding. After multiple conversations, I lost confidence in the venue and requested to cancel my contract as they violated their end of it. I only asked for the payment beyond my non-refundable deposit to be returned, since they had not delivered what was promised. Instead, I received a text message stating they would keep all of my money. They then had the audacity to say they lost trust in me as a client, when I'm the only one who had communication, notes, was very clear in my expectations before ever signing an agreement, and made my payments well before they were due. No owner or manager ever called to discuss the situation. I am now out $1,800 in venue payments and nearly $2,000 in travel expenses for a meeting that never happened. The only remedy that was offered was having a new employee, a full time student, to manage my wedding. When I pay thousands for an event I expect professionals, not to be a practice run for a new company. Don't let older 5-star reviews influence your decision. The venue I originally booked no longer seems to exist and has been sold to people who care more about getting your money than giving you the experience you paid for. If you choose to book here, be prepared for poor communication, a lack of accountability, and likely a very sad and unorganized event. If I could give negative stars, I would. I'm sure they will have more to respond to my review, than they did to me in person as public image is more important to them than your personal experience.

A few months ago, my boyfriend (at the time) proposed and after discussing our various options for…read moregetting married, we decided we wanted a small and intimate private ceremony in our home. I found Rev Christopher on Yelp and based on his reviews, website and messaging, I knew I wanted to have him officiate our marriage. From my initial inquiry through the day of our ceremony, Christopher was incredibly kind, communicative and helpful with the process. When meeting him on the day of our marriage in our home, he was very respectful and I particularly appreciated his professional and genuinely kind demeanor. On top of it all, you can really feel that Christopher pours his heart into his work - the wording for our ceremony was perfect, personalized and felt very heart-full. Christopher has quite a few packages to select from - the basic one is what worked best for us at this time. I can imagine that for all his clients, no matter how big, small, near or far, he officiates a wonderful and touching ceremony. Thank you Rev Christopher! Highly recommended.

I would recommend Stoyan Katinov to anyone who is looking for any type of photography. He is very…read moretalented. His work is beautiful. You will find him pleasant, professional, and prompt. Stoyan Katinov took pictures for our daughter's wedding. He provided a First Look/Bridal session, as well as photos for a civil wedding, wedding reception, and Temple sealing. We had him take pictures at all events and added one hour of video footage. Stoyan went the extra mile. My daughter added the First Look session late. He accommodated her and took beautiful pictures. He made sure she had some pictures to display at the wedding reception. It was a tight time frame of only a couple days between, but he made it all happen. The First Look session was a bit of a challenge with a significant amount of wind. Stoyan made the wind work in our daughter's favor by capturing veil movement. The pictures turned out amazing. He was patient and spent a lot of time getting things just right. Their silhouette at sunset looked like it was out of a glamor magazine. At the civil marriage and wedding reception, my daughter had numerous specific requests which Stoyan graciously accommodated. At the Temple photo session, he artfully negotiated a difficult backdrop. The Original Provo Temple had many people coming in and out of the doors. The pictures were lovely with him capturing the spring flowers and blossoms and of course the couple. He also captured far away and close up shots of the Temple. This Temple will soon be extensively renovated, so capturing the present look was important to my daughter. The video was perfect! It was fun and enjoyable to watch and captured the most important moments. My daughter and her husband are fun. They smile a lot and are deeply in love. Stoyan captured both their joy and love. Stoyan Katinov is the best photographer I have worked with. We have done family pictures professionally before and this is our third wedding.

Most if not all of the reviews on wedding websites are very positive and the price is great. When we booked we paid in full which meant we were guaranteed to have our video back 60 days after our wedding day. Ryan completely ghosted us and we could not get in contact with him no matter what we tried. I text, called, emailed three different emails, and even messaged on Instagram and nothing. When it got to be over a month past when we were supposed to have our video and we still hadn't heard anything, I started to feel desperate. I messaged multiple people who had liked his latest Instagram post (which he posted after our wedding video was due) and someone got back to me. This person messaged him on Facebook and he finally called me back. He gave excuses and gaslit me but he finally sent the video. I watched the first two minutes and they looked good, but after that the video was a complete mess. He never finished it. There were sections that were completely black for 30-45 seconds. A clip of our family had a blue error message over it. There were barely any clips of my husband and I together. I am so disappointed and heart broken. I can't believe what it took to finally get a response from this man. Do not do not do not book him. A complete nightmare.

She never set up the shot.(Apparently if she says "if you can't see me, then I can't see you", but you can see her she doesn't have to tell you she can't see you) Although she took plenty of pictures, but none of the whole family group pictures are usable. When we received the pictures, heads were cut off, more than one or two eyes are closed, edged of backdrop are shown, and people were running into the pictures. The subjects are so close to the edge that you couldn't frame them and the was lighting is so harsh.
