At first It was a little bit tricky to find the available dates, but we found something, only complaint about the whole process was the availability of the specific house he wanted (large green combo bouncer that matched Minecraft lol) it seemed to be booked solid. Oh well, the Pirate ship looked like a "Minecraft world" he said. Pirate ship it is‍ So the price I was quoted ended up being for Friday all the way until Monday! Not just the day that I chose, that was absolutely incredible. As a single mom, I was really stressing out about the cost, the set up, everything, but it couldn't have been more simple process! I reserved the date with a $50 deposit, I didn't pay the rest until the delivery, and I was actually in North Conway when they arrived I was able to just pay the rest via email, super easy. I was panicking a little bit about where it would be set up, but the employee was extremely professional, and actually sent me screenshots of where everything would be so I could approve it. When I got home there it was in all its glory lol. An absolute behemoth, I don't think you really see how big they are until they're actually set up lol. I was able to also rent chairs and tables for dirt cheap, $2 a chair? Sign me up everything went off without a hitch, there was no issues at all with the bounce house performance, worked great! I know it's really nerve-racking to plan a little kids birthday these days, it's like nobody ever shows up which can be heartbreaking as a parent. Well, you don't have to worry about that if you rent one of these haha, I put "bounce house/splash pad so bring bathing suits" on the invites, and the entire class had been talking about it all week We had an amazing turn out! Over 30 people stopped by! The next morning, I woke up, and they were already taking it down for me, I went out to tip them, but other than that I didn't have to do a thing. I hate to keep mentioning that I'm a single mother, but when you're trying to do everything alone, you literally can't put a price on that type of service, but they have lol and it's EXTREMELY AFFORDABLE FOR WHAT YOU GET! I spent a total of $469 for the bounce house in the pictures, 6 chairs, 2 large banquet tables, delivery (all the way out near Porter) set up, taking it down, and we had it from Friday noon-Monday 9am Back in Cincinnati it would have been 1k easy. With the price of everything going up, it's amazing to see a company keeping rates affordable! I know this is a gushing review lol I promise I don't work for them, I'm just blown away with how easy it was, how LITTLE I had to do... I will be using them for every birthday moving forward lol. Thank you for helping me give my son an epic birthday, and helping us make friends in our new community. I now have a handful of Mom friends too Win win‍

I had two photographers from the emilie inc. team and they did a FANTASTIC job at our wedding! I…read morewas confident based on the portfolios I had seen, and they delivered. I love the style and how well they blended the natural environment and elements of our venue into the shots. There's a great balance between the details and the documentary style shots, and candid portraits of the wedding party and guests. Leading up to the wedding, we had no problem getting our questions answered and paying through their online invoicing system. We were able to visit the office and meet our photographers ahead of time and the whole experience was wonderful. We were welcomed with warmth and cupcakes! They pay attention to the details of the whole experience. This is a top-notch company. I had two disappointments (which is the reason why I didn't give a 5-star review. It would be 4.5 if I could!). The first is that photog team did not set up any fill lights for the formal portraits. I should have asked about this ahead of time, but I thought it was standard for professional portraits. At least at every wedding I have been to, there were a few diffusers or flashes set up even if the shooters were photojournalism/documentary style wedding photographers. The faces and eye sockets are more shadowed than I would have hoped. Also, in retrospect, we weren't getting any fun alternate angles for the group portraits, like looking over our shoulders, holding out our bouquets, holding hands, or moving to have a different background such as the lake in addition to having trees as the background. Alas! The second disappointment is that despite two photogs being there for over an hour while there was live music at our reception, we didn't receive a single image of the amazing seven-piece band in action. I would definitely recommend emilie inc. - just make sure you communicate about exactly what your expectations are ahead of time. Once the wedding schedule gets rolling, it is hard to remember your photography wish list. There are more important things to focus on, like being present for your loved ones and celebration! :)

Finding the right photographer you can rely on to capture the essence and beauty of a wedding can be a stressful task for any bride. That is why I set out to select a photographer as one of my first tasks after getting engaged. I am very fortunate to know a lot of wonderful wedding photographers but felt the best connection to Emilie. I knew from the beginning that we were in good hands. Emilie even called to talk to me about my vision for the wedding on her family vacation to Disney! She works masterfully with angles and lighting to capture moments in the most creative and elegant ways possible. We loved the way she interacted with us and our guests to make us all feel comfortable and at ease throughout the ceremony and reception. Emilie captures emotion at its purest and most candid moments, so that when you look back, you can easily relive those precious memories. Emilie definitely helped make our day feel even more special, and we're so incredibly happy with our choice of selecting her as our photographer to capture one of the most important days of our lives. We supremely recommend her!

We worked with Lauren at LAD Photography for both our engagement shoot and our wedding in Portland,…read moreMaine, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Lauren was professional, creative, and such a calming presence--something you really appreciate on a busy wedding day! Her assistant, Jax, also was professional and easygoing. He and Lauren are a great team and made everyone feel comfortable. They are efficient, communicate clearly, and set realistic expectations. They even stayed to dance with us at the end of the night during the reception -- what fun! Her photography style is absolutely stunning and perfectly captured the feel of our day. She had great ideas for engagement shoot locations around Portland, and the photos from both sessions turned out beautifully. You can tell she's incredibly talented and experienced--the quality of her work speaks for itself. At the end of the day, all you have from your wedding is the memories and the photos. We are so glad we picked such a talented, kind, hardworking photographer for our big day. We are so pleased with our choice to work with LAD Photography and cannot recommend her highly enough. Lauren is also very clear about her policies around image rights and printing, which we appreciated. Her pricing reflects her level of expertise and the exceptional product you receive in the end. Overall, a fantastic vendor and an even better person. We highly recommend LAD Photography to anyone looking for beautiful, timeless wedding photos!

In LOVE with our photos and LAD Photography! We are SO happy…read morethat we chose to work with Lauren of LAD Photography for our wedding day! We got married December 2022 at The Cliff House and got our photos back last week and they're absolutely incredible!! Lauren is amazing to work with from start to finish! She did not let one detail go unseen, she was prepared, professional, efficient, and so fun to be around. Not only did she make our day the best experience, the quality of her work is truly amazing. She made sure we got every shot we wanted and we are IN LOVE with our photos. I had very high expectations, wanting my photos to be perfect and the day to be seamless without feeling rushed and I was not disappointed one bit. I highly recommend them to any future bride/groom, you will love her and your photos!

From the first time we met Charity during our initial consultation, something felt *right.* She…read moretook detailed notes, listened to us, had a calming energy, and made us feel comfortable. We remember that she even asked us if we are excited to plan our wedding, which no other planners asked us! She didn't brag about what big names she had worked with or try to impress us by going over the top with her accomplishments - she was honest and straight to the point about her style of planning and what we could expect. We knew very quickly that she was the one with whom we wanted to work. From the beginning, Charity made us feel at ease and confident about our wedding. She answered emails in a very timely fashion with detail and encouragement. We actually ended up increasing our package with her to the next tier up. She was able to work with our budget when we decided to upgrade which was very considerate and kind. We really appreciated that! We also really appreciated her strong connections within the New England wedding planning community. She clearly has worked hard at networking and building strong and positive relationships with other vendors. Charity utilizes a great planning platform that was easy to use and fully integrated with her planning style. We were able to use it to help organize our own thoughts and notes while providing insight for her as well. It was useful for us every single time we worked on the wedding! Throughout the entire process charity brought a sense of confidence, strong professionalism, joy, and energy. When we met her for site visits she was incredibly professional and diligent and prepared. She made sure to follow-up on things that needed to be addressed and always made sure to close the loop on things left open. When our wedding weekend finally arrived, we had talked through different circumstances with her in case of emergency -- how we would want things handled if certain things arose or things went sideways. It was really helpful to have talked about those things with her beforehand so we were all on the same page. The morning of our wedding we did have some unexpected things come up and Charity handled them with grace and confidence. She was flexible and adaptable. She didn't make us feel bad or guilty when things went sideways. During the wedding itself, she went above and beyond. She was on top of everything and made us feel so calm. She had a smile on her face and was helpful answering our questions about timing. The entire day went smoothly because of her! Overall we could not be happier that we chose to work with Charity (and she chose to work with us!). She was kind, organized, professional, a great communicator, and detail-oriented. She made our wedding day everything we wanted and MORE!! She truly did help us "delight and surprise" on our big day.

What a magical, stunning location for a wedding! I recently attended an Open House at the Caswell…read moreFarm and Wedding Barn. Full disclosure, I attended with my husband, who runs a wedding/function band. He wanted to attend to make a connection for an upcoming wedding he is booked for on the property, I came with him because I was really curious. I hear so many things about wedding venues, but rarely get to tour one myself. Walking from the parking lot, the grounds are green and very well tended. There is a lovely space to the side for ceremonies with a rustic white birch wedding arch. The barn itself is open to fresh air, has a main section perfect for dancing and celebrating, as well as an upstairs for guests who want to stay connected to the fun looking to take a break. On one end of the barn, there is a big deck with stairs leading out to the lawn/wedding tent where tables are set up for dinner. On another side of the barn, there was a bar set up, as well as a brick oven pizza station. All along the property are lovely strings of lights. I was so struck by the beauty of this space. Those lucky enough to have the resources to book Caswell Farm for their wedding reception are in for something very special!

On wedding day when we had an issue with a vendor, the King's Hill team went above and beyond to find a solution.

The barn is heated and was turned on when our October wedding became crisp at night.

The entire home is clean, fresh and peaceful. It's on a quiet road set on a hillside. The landscape is lovely and lush. The grass is thick and green, the gardens are a delicate dotting of pastel colors that compliment the home perfectly. The barn is.. well.. stellar. It's old old old, but it is SO well taken care of. It has the most gorgeous wood flooring and it has.. wait for it-- A FIREPLACE! *swoon* Y'all.. the sunset is breathtaking. You can look over to the west and see the mountains just being cloaked in the golden hour of sunset, not a single thing disrupting the ambiance, with a soundtrack of a trillion peepers all around. Safe to say, it is a true gem. It's fun, it's beautiful, it's exactly where you want to have a special event like your wedding or family reunion. Also, a bonus- the sweet owners are photographers who are undoubtedly gifted and clearly love what they do.
