David was the worst vendor I had to interact with on the day of my wedding. Leading up to the day…read morehe was very professional, our zoom meeting and phone calls were all standard and helpful. The day of the wedding he completely changed his attitude. While my husband and father-in-law were waiting with him to walk down the aisle, right before the ceremony, David told them he hates weddings. He later clarified it was due to the heat, but it was an inappropriate comment to make right before our ceremony. During the ceremony he forget the ring exchange and I had to remind him mid-ceremony, right before our kiss, to do the rings. The worst part happened after all of this. Despite his attitude and mistake during the ceremony, he had the audacity to "rate our kiss" and told us and the audience he "expected better". This made my husband and I extremely uncomfortable and he ruined the end of what was supposed to be a beautiful, short and simple ceremony. At the end of the day we are happy and married, but looking back my ceremony kiss will always be my least favorite memory of the day, which is pretty depressing. If you want a nice ceremony DO NOT go with this officiant.

From the time we met Francis until the end of our ceremony he helped us through the process and made our special day even more special.

We highly recommend Francis to any couple looking to push their event up one extra notch. Thanks Francis! Heather and Steve

Wedding date: August 24, 2013…read more Francis made our ceremony that much more special. We got to customize everything that was said during the ceremony. Francis brought to the table different ways to make this OUR wedding. With every section of the ceremony, there were several choices that we chose from. And Francis said that if we didn't see something that we liked or just wasn't "us" that he had more. He had the most perfect poem that I got my sister to read during the ceremony. This turned out better than I thought it would! Francis was GREAT at communicating with me in a timely manor. It was me who was delayed in responding! His price is very fair. Especially considering the face that he is from Edmonds area and our wedding venue was in Mount Vernon. He has a great personality, and we appreciated his "non-dullness". He added a few comments here and there during the ceremony, which we had already discussed that it would be perfectly fine to do. He asked us if he could do that!! For him to ask if that was okay to do, that's just so thoughtful! His flow of speaking and clarity we great. We appreciate all that he did in preparation for our wedding.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Roger Knopf through the Portraits for Patriots program,…read moreand I couldn't be happier with the experience--or the results! From start to finish, Roger was communicative, professional, and welcoming. He made the entire process feel effortless. Parking was easy and convenient, which took a lot of stress out of getting to the session. Once inside, his studio was calm, comfortable, and clearly set up with care. Roger took the time to guide me through the shoot, making sure I felt confident and at ease. The final headshot? Absolutely perfect. It's professional, flattering, and captures exactly the image I want to present on LinkedIn as I transition into the civilian workforce. I am genuinely overfilled with joy and gratitude--not only for the incredible quality of the portrait, but also for Roger's generosity and the mission of Portraits for Patriots. If you're looking for a photographer who cares and delivers top-tier results, look no further than Roger Knopf. Highly recommend!

We hired this The Blue Wave Band back in late January to play at our Wedding. We chose to have 7…read moreBand members. They had to travel 5 hours for our event and we put all the members up at the Lodge. It was worth it! We cannot recommend this Band highly enough. To have a good Wedding Reception experience, You need to have good food, Beautiful Ambiance and Excellent music to get your guests up on the dance floor. The Cocktail hour was magical with having a band member play the Sweet Saxophone. When dinner was over, right out of the gate, everyone was getting out of their seats to dance. It was a great mixture of different Genres. So many comments from our guests. Best Wedding Ever! The Band was Awesome! We definitely will have them back for another special event in the future! Thank you for a Great Time! Tamara S.

I cannot recommend Blue Wave. Unfortunately, they lacked the preparation and professionalism…read moreexpected of a wedding band, and their behavior put a damper on what should have been a joyful day. They failed to uphold parts of our contract and even introduced new "policies" not stated anywhere in writing in an effort to charge additional fees. A few specific issues: Last-minute demands: On the morning of our wedding, the first thing I experience was our wedding planner knocking on our door to tell me that the band was refusing to play our pre- ceremony music. (!!) unless we paid extra--despite already being paid to run the ceremony sound, having received the timeline weeks earlier, and previously agreeing to do so. This was not the way I wanted to start my my wedding day. Missed cues: They failed to play the correct recessional song, and when asked, instead played music that was meant for our first dances and cake cutting. We had to send my brother-in-law to DJ the post-recessional music from his Sportify. Refusal to make announcements: They declined to do our wedding party announcement, again citing a "policy" about hours worked that wasn't in the contract. We had to draft one of our cousins to do this at last minute notice. Technical mistakes: They mishandled the start of the dancing--an especially disappointing moment since our extended family of 40+ had rehearsed a choreographed routine--simply because they didn't load the correct Spotify link we had sent in advance.
