Working with Chris on our wedding and engagement photos was a blast. He couldn't be nicer, is…read morealways smiling, and gets great shots surprisingly quickly. His style is artistic/journalistic in that he captures candid, well-composed shots but will also suggest that you adjust your body so you don't look completely awkward. My sister's wedding photographer wouldn't do that, and we ended up looking pretty awkward in a few shots (e.g., necks stretched, hands in weird places). His turn around time was AMAZING- we had our digital images in a couple of weeks. Many photographers guarantee your digital photos within the YEAR but quicker if you buy very expensive prints/albums from them. Chris is an honest businessman AND a talented artist. Even more, he's a pleasure to be around, and that goes a long way in the stressful hustle and bustle of your wedding day.

I've known Chris for over ten years, and when we got engaged one of the easiest decisions we had…read morewas who our wedding photographer would be.

Smile DJ's completely butchered our son's wedding ceremony. It couldn't have been worse. A recap:…read more *Matt was supposed to be our DJ and did all of the advanced planning with our son. We knew that Matt had a good reputation, but he didn't show up to our event as agreed upon, and he didn't even have the courtesy to call and let us know. *Instead, he sent a back-up, who claimed to have 20 years of experience, to perform the services. He told us they were short a person and that Matt had to cover another event. He said that Matt may still make it to our event, but we don't believe that was ever the case. *Harry showed up with not enough time to get set up or to be fully prepared for being thrust into an event at the last moment. He did meet with my son for ten minutes to quickly attempt to get up to speed, but he interrupted the pre-wedding photo session. *The ceremony: things went HORRIBLY wrong during the ceremony. Harry started calling out the names of the wedding party as they walked down the aisle. We've never seen that happen in our lifetime of attending weddings. He was so disorganized that he clearly was reading from the reception agenda, and not following the ceremony agenda. Not only that, he called out the wrong names. He also played the wrong music twice, and to make matters even worse, he started playing the exit music while the Pastor was still giving the blessing. It was a complete hatchet job to put it mildly. *As for the reception, he followed the playlist and the sound was very good. However, during his rushed set up, the photo booth, which he failed to anchor properly, blew over in the wind and suffered damage. It was unavailable for part of the reception. Harry spent way too much time working on the photo booth, which distracted him from his emcee duties at the reception. Therefore, the agenda was not followed as outlined. *When we followed up with Matt about our experience, his initial reaction was that we were wrong, and he proceeded to gaslight us. It wasn't until the following day that he realized we were 100% correct because he heard from somebody he claims that he knew that was at the wedding and witnessed it first hand. It was appalling that he basically accused us of lying. There is no way we could ever recommend anyone using Smile DJ's for their event based on our experience. We spent many months and long hours putting this together, and Smile DJ's had a significant negative impact on the proceedings. It was still a special day with many blessings, but we still can't believe how bad they messed up their role in it. We wouldn't even give one start if that was possible.

Jo was friendly and personable while getting to the point. she was a good director when no one was stepping up or moving along. she was kind while doing it and thankfully was able to do so well with timing that everyone praised and were delighted by the shortest wedding they have ever been to. it's exactly what I wanted and my daughter with her anxiety wanted. photo booth was an extra added touch and helped get groups of people that photographer failed too. 10/10 would recommend.

**Three Strands Farm is an Absolute Dream**…read more If you're looking for a wedding venue that truly has it all, look no further than **Three Strands Farm**. From the moment our kids toured the grounds, they knew this was *the* place. And honestly? It exceeded every single expectation we had on the actual day. Let's start with the setting -- it is **breathtaking**. Tucked among towering trees, the natural forest backdrop gave our kids wedding a magical, storybook feel that no amount of décor could manufacture. The space itself is incredibly generous, never once feeling crowded even with a large guest list. Everyone had room to move, mingle, and truly enjoy themselves. The **elegant tents** gave us peace of mind we didn't even know we needed -- beautiful on a perfect day, and an absolute lifesaver if the weather has other plans - which we expected but it barely sprinkled. We loved that we didn't have to sacrifice style for practicality. And then there are **Yvonne**. Where do we even begin? As both the owner and coordinator, she pours her whole heart into every single wedding at Three Strand Farm, and it shows in every detail. She anticipated every hiccup before it happened, kept our timeline flowing seamlessly, and made sure we were never stressed for a single moment. She isn't just a coordinator -- she's a calm, capable, genuinely caring presence who makes you feel like your wedding is the only one that has ever mattered. We cannot say enough good things about her. Yvonne and Dallas have done an amazing job with only taking over the venue for a short time. The **dance floor** was the perfect size -- big enough to fit the whole crowd during the best songs of the night -- and the **bar setup** was smooth, well-stocked, and handled with total professionalism. Not one person waited too long for a drink. The **parking** situation was easy and stress-free, which our guests genuinely appreciated. The grounds are extremely easy to navigate even for wheelchairs, walkers, and people with mobility issues. The **on-site accommodations**. The **bridal party house** was an absolute sanctuary -- plenty of space to get ready, sip mimosas, take photos, and soak in the morning without any chaos. It is worth **adding on to the wedding package!** Do not pass on the opportunity to **rent** it, we promise you won't regret it!! The **groom's room** gave the guys their own dedicated space to relax and hang out, which kept everyone calm and in their lane. And for guests who wanted to extend the celebration, the **on-site camping option** was such a unique and memorable touch -- it was so nice to be able to relax after the reception on-site -- another option we would highly encourage to **add-on**. The on-site **bathrooms** were clean, spacious, and well-maintained all night long. Ask any bride -- this matters more than people realize! Three Strands Farm isn't just a place to get married. It's a full **experience** -- for you, for your wedding party, and for every single guest. Yvonne has something truly special here, and you can feel the love and intentionality in every corner of this property. If you're on the fence, get off it. **Book Three Strands Farm.** You will not regret a single second. We can only hope this experience is available for our next wedding we have!
