I used DM as my photographers for my wedding and I want to give them a good review but I honestly…read morecan't. The owners, Bridget and Joe are REALLY nice people and their work has been featured in The KNOT (magazine). When I was deciding on photographers, I decided to go with DM because they were very friendly, nice, and they seemed to be everything I was looking for. PHOTOGRAPHY Before the wedding, we went over everything that I didn't like (ie black and white photos) and everything that I wanted (list of pictures, 2 photographers- 1 being Bridget, tons of pictures, etc). But the day of the wedding I was sent Bridget's sister instead of Bridget (apparently Bridget had sprained her ankle). I understood that Bridget couldn't come but I was upset because nothing that I had relayed to Bridget about what I wanted was relayed to her sister, and on the day of my wedding the last thing on my mind is going over what the photographer needs to do. Unfortunately, Bridget's sister was NOT as good of a photographer. To begin with, she apparently didn't white balance her camera because all the pics in the chapel were orange/yellow. Also, she missed key pictures- ie the entry of the parents/grandparents, the ring exchange, the kiss, pictures of the guests at the reception tables! She also took pics in black and white, which I had specifically asked them NOT to do. Also, DM did not do a good job photoshopping the pictures. I thought that they would at least photoshop the pics so they wouldn't be do yellow, but their photoshopped pics weren't much better than the originals. I was able to photoshop them better and I have no experience with photoshop. I was disappointed in how long it took to get my photos. Another reason I went with them was because they promised to have the proof, pics and photo books done before any of the other photographers. I guess this should have raised some suspicion. The proofs were posted weeks, if not a month after promised. And the photo 'negatives' and photobooks came in a lot later than promised. (I don't remember exactly how long but it was much after the promised time). VIDEOGRAPHY On top of that, a couple weeks before the wedding, Joe called to ask if I wanted them to do the videography at a discounted rate. I had already had someone who was going to do it but DM promised to have the video sooner than the other person and they offered a better price so I had them do my video too. What they failed to mention was that by having them do the video, I lost out on a 2nd photographer. Had I known this, I would have preferred having the 2nd photographer and stuck with my original videographer. I must say that the wedding video was well done and we enjoy it. But the video also took longer than the promised time (months after). And my parents were disappointed because they did not video tape the entire wedding ceremony. So we can not even rewatch the wedding address/sermon. Overall, yes the people at DM are nice. But considering how expensive they are, I was highly disappointed in the end result. Every time I think of my wedding pictures, I think of how much I overpaid for not so great pictures. If you do go with DM, I recommend guaranteeing that you get Joe or Bridget as your photographer if you can. I'm guessing that since they have been featured in the Knot, they have to be better than what I got.

My friends and I came here yesterday. We did the date night pkg, which includes a mini spin,…read moret-shirt, and a canvas. Very fun. The mini-spin is a piece of paper inside a box that spins and you get 3 colors to pour in and you can add glitter at the end. The t-shirt and canvas painting is inside a room where they leave you to it to splatter paint and have fun. They play music and have a drum set you can you pour paint on to splatter paint everywhere if you want. They give your group some tools to make different designs and 6 neon colors. We asked for black paint and they brought us out a cup of it. I highly recommend the black paint and asking to add glitter to the canvases after you get done. They have tacks in the pallets for you to hang your canvas up to pain on it and they work as long as you aren't touching the canvas. Anytime we tried to touch our canvas, they would fall off. The tacks aren't sturdy and give out a bit to the weight so the canvas slips off. The drum takes a TON of paint to splatter so unless you dump all of the paint you are given for the canvas and shirt, you really can't splatter paint with the drumsticks. If you are bringing a group of people, make sure you ride together. The parking lot is extremely small and tight! They do have a set of lockers inside to lock up belongings so you don't have to leave them out in your car, which is extremely helpful! Definitely worth checking out.

This is going to long, I apologize…read more We literally can not say enough good things about Jay! We love the guy! He was honestly the best part of our wedding and we wish we had more events we could hire him for. Haha. We we're supposed to have an outside wedding and it unfortunately rained off and on. He set up outside and him and his equipment got rained on. He had to take apart his microphone to dry it and get it ready for our reception. We felt AWFUL about it -- but he was a trooper and didn't get mad! Just from our few meetings, he knew me and my now husband so well. He came in for the ceremony and said he had the perfect song to play for starting our walking down the aisle. Without him telling me what it was, I said play it. It happened to be an instrumental Star Wars song which was PERFECT for us! We had so many people who came up to us and said it was the coolest music they ever heard for a ceremony...especially the Star Wars song! On top of that he took care of us. The guy got me a drink when I needed one! Haha. He ran around frantic looking for me when they were calling my name and I didn't hear it. He was on top of EVERYTHING. More than we ever expected from him AND he played the best music for our reception. He meshed so well with us from minute one of meeting him. We get the pleasure of seeing him in September for my husband's cousin's wedding and we can't wait! I promise you. You will not go wrong with DJ Jay Herbert! Call. Him. Now.
