When I requested quotes, they were prompt, thorough, and friendly - and their prices were better than a lot of places I had checked out. I loved that they had a lot of options for customizing our package. Once I chose them, they worked with me to design the photo strips exactly as I wanted them. At the wedding, they were extremely efficient, accommodating, and wonderful to all of our guests. Plus the photos were online and available for download the very next day! Definitely recommend them.

DON'T DO IT PLEASE!!!! - If I could give negative five (-5) stars, I would…read more My experience with this company was unprofessional, disorganized, and extremely disappointing. I hired them for my son's prom send-off and paid in full, yet the service I received was far below acceptable standards. I have yet to receive what I paid for. The person who identified himself as the owner, Dennis, was attentive until he received my deposit. Before paying, I clearly explained that my son's colors were rose gold and silver and specifically asked whether those colors could be accommodated for the backdrop. I was assured they could. Once the deposit was paid, communication became a major issue. His demenor was ghetto & rude. Calls were ignored, messages went unanswered, and when I was finally able to reach Dennis, I was repeatedly told how busy he was with weddings and proms. It became obvious that my event was not a priority. He refused to discuss details until the week of the event, despite my attempts to plan well in advance. He takes this approach to prey on your emotions and have you in a tight spot. Our agreement was that he would contact me the Friday before the event. He never did. I wasn't able to speak with him until Monday--just four days before my son's prom. At that point, he began suggesting that the colors I had requested might not be available and that I may have to settle for something more basic. The night before the event, Dennis confirmed that setup would begin at 6:00 a.m. on prom day. Wanting to ensure everything was on schedule, I called around 5:00 a.m. and followed up with a text. About an hour later, I received a call stating that his driver--not him--was running behind schedule. HE HAD US WAITING 5 HOURS BEFORE DRIVER SHOWED UP! When the driver finally arrived, she appeared under the influence, unprepared, had a poor attitude, and immediately began making excuses about the weather and the fact that she had other deliveries to make. She lacked the proper equipment to install the backdrop, had to stand on chairs, and asked us to provide ropes and other items needed for setup. To top it off, she kept yelling and cursing at the young man who accompanied her. Things became even worse when she grew frustrated and attempted to take the backdrop back without installing it. I was devastated because this was my son's special day, and all of this was happening just hours before his prom send-off. Rather than ensuring the job was completed, Dennis allowed his employee to leave without finishing the setup. He later stated that I would not be charged for the backdrop since it was not installed. I ultimately had to contact another event professional to walk me through designing and assembling the backdrop on my own. When they came back to pick up the decor and seen I semi-successfully made it work, he changed his position and demanded payment for it. In the end, I paid for services that I largely had to perform myself. This entire experience caused unnecessary stress during what should have been one of the most memorable and joyful occasions of my son's life. The entire reason I hired a professional was to eliminate the stress and allow my family to enjoy the day. Instead, this company created problem after problem, leaving me scrambling to save an event that I had paid them to handle. Despite the obstacles, broken promises, and lack of professionalism this company imposed upon us, we were ultimately able to pull the event together. However, no customer should have to endure what we experienced. Based on my experience, I would never recommend this company to anyone seeking reliable event services. I believe honesty, professionalism, and accountability matter in business. Unfortunately, I did not receive any of those qualities here.

With all the stresses of planning our wedding, it was a relief to have the Rush team help us plan the pre-wedding photo session (which was a few weeks before the wedding). They suggested great venues (both indoor and outdoor). And they helped with lighting, angles, and poses, etc. For the wedding there were two teams. One was at the house taking all the family photos, and the second team went ahead to the reception to capture all the moments. At the wedding, they used a crane to raise the camera to get the cool video from inside the crowded dance floor. And the photographers were there until the very end of the night! We really appreciated all their thoughtful suggestions, strategic photos and video, and their personal touch. They are genuinely nice people. I highly recommend them for any wedding or corporate event. And I would use them again.

I cannot say enough positive things about Wedding Creativo! For those of you who prefer bullet…read morepoints, here you go: - Beautiful photography. Not only will you get "traditional" wedding shots, but Giorgio and Sarah have a unique aesthetic, and you will also receive creative, arty shots that are edgy and cool and quite stunning. - Amazing customer service. Sarah was such a valuable resource while we were planning the wedding; she went out of her way to provide tons of information about various vendors and was great at answering my questions, providing useful advice, and just generally being very supportive. Sarah seriously provided SO much more than I expected from a photographer. - Outstanding value. The best thing about Wedding Creativo's pricing is you are not forced to purchase a package with a bunch of extras you don't need or want - you can get the bare minimum and then add on as you please. Here is our story: We just had our wedding, so we haven't received our full set of pictures back (I'll make sure to update this review when we do), but you only need to look online to know that they do a terrific job. Giorgio's photos are literally award-winning, and Wedding Creativo's work is unique, funky, and beautiful. Giorgio is a true artist, and is clearly passionate about what he does. He has a wonderful eye, and his pictures are gorgeous. Sarah is FANTASTIC - I cannot say enough about her. She went WAY above and beyond the call of duty - whenever I emailed her with a question, she would reply promptly, with thoughtful and well-researched responses. Because she was so knowledgeable and helpful, we ended up corresponding fairly regularly, and she really provided some excellent advice and insight. I am so grateful to her for all of her help - she was really amazing! Even though we haven't seen our pictures yet, I am beyond thrilled with all of the work and effort that she put into our big day!! We took our portraits hours before our ceremony so we got to hang out with Sarah and Giorgio for a bit before our wedding, and it was so much fun. They really put us at ease, and I was so much more comfortable and relaxed before the ceremony. We also added on a Polaroid package to our reception, and this retro touch was a big hit. We considered lots of different options (i.e. photo booths, flip books) for the reception, and not only was the Polaroid station the most affordable, but we also got to keep one of the cameras! If you are looking for a unique reception activity Polaroids are a great option, and if you want beautiful photos and amazing service, Giorgio and Sarah are the absolute best!!!

It was a unique experience, as I'd never been to an Indian wedding reception that was held at a rooftop bar during the daytime, and AShah nailed it. A little help from the open bar and phenomenal music. He obviously let the couple request certain songs at certain times (I'm assuming that playing Bedrock as all the friends and parents posed for a group picture was not his idea). So it's nice to know that he has no problem playing requests from the couple...even unconventional ones. When the dancefloor opened up, the dancing didn't stop until the event was over. And that's a pretty impressive feat considering the heat and straight on sun beating down on us. The DJ kept everyone on the floor...er...roof, playing a perfect balance of Indian songs, American songs, 80s classics including Journey, and everything in between that was all perfect for a rooftop dance party in the middle of the day.
