If there has been one thing I've recommended to my friends who are getting married, it is to hire a…read morewedding planner. Erin ensured all details of my wedding were perfect and took so much stress away from me so I could truly enjoy my wedding day. She is so hard working and she shared my excitement for my big day, which made her such a joy to work with. She stepped in to solve problems with vendors and supported me through navigating contracts and rentals. So many of my friend and family have commented that our wedding was the most fun ever, and I can really attribute that to Erin's planning and guidance.

Truly disappointing. We were promised an experience that would make our wedding incredibly special…read moreand carefree, but instead were met with more challenges than we would have faced if we had not hired this business. We felt like we were in charge of keeping the timeline throughout the planning process and felt the responsibility to make sure that things were completed beforehand rather than the other way around. We also found and booked many of the vendors ourselves. Toward the end, it was not worth pushing back since we worried our wedding day would suffer if we didn't do everything ourselves. Transparency was definitely a big pitfall with this business. For example, we asked for decor that was considered extra and we were informed we had to pay for that - no big deal, we figured we'd pay and we'd get to keep the decor. When the invoice arrived, we were shocked to find that Silver Fern would be keeping the extra decor even though we paid for it. We also asked for detailed examples of what the day of vision would look like. We received some general vision guides that we approved, but they were clearly not what was planned for our wedding day since the final decorations hardly looked like the vision. As anticipated by the above, our day was lacking. Boutonnières and bouquets were damaged, visions were missed, and guests were placed in random places to make for bad photos (both during the ceremony and at dinner). Decorations were minimal, which we could not believe based on the price we paid. We were truly in shock when we saw how minimal and off the decorations were on our wedding, which is an awful thing to see walking into your ceremony for the first time. We also felt like it was our responsibility to keep time and direct vendors during the wedding. The planner's bare minimum job is to take the time keeping and vendor direction of the couple's plate, but we did not feel like that low standard was met. At the end of the day, our wedding day was incredibly stressful and we were very dissatisfied with Silver Fern Events.

Hired this DJ for my son's wedding. All in all, the wedding went well and the Dj's service was…read moregood. Apparently there are different DJ's, the person you speak to and give the song list to is not the same person that shows up to do the wedding, so this led to what I expected happening. Songs requested were not played. The song for the Mother-Son dance was not the correct song (they played a bride-father version) so that was embarrassing and I was really annoyed at the time. Just make sure you are clear and don't have expectations of every song you request to be played. If you're not picky then it will go great!

He is so competent and relaxed we knew we'd be in good hands! A Bride's DJ provides an extensive planning document that Lev uses on the day. Lev played all the songs we wanted, none of the songs we didn't want, and was so skilled at reading the crowd that he threw in a few songs that our guests still talk about dancing to! I lost my voice the day before the wedding and requested a lower volume so I'd still be able to talk with friends and family. Not only did Lev execute the perfect volume, but he also came up to me during the reception to check if it was at an okay level! Our guests still rave about how nice it was to be able to dance and talk with everyone the whole night! Lev even came up to both me and the groom to ask if there were any songs he hadn't played yet that we'd like to hear. Lev also helped us set up a livestream so that our relatives and friends who couldn't attend the ceremony were still able to watch, which was above and beyond of him! Overall, Lev was a wonderful DJ and put us at ease, I would definitely recommend hiring him for your wedding day!!

If you and your significant other are planning to get married, I cannot scream loud enough - DON'T WASTE MONEY ON A HUGE WEDDING! If you are able, go to Asheville and let JP and his wife guide you through a seamless ceremony. No stress, no worries, no regrets! We were able to pamper ourselves all weekend. We added the videographer to capture all the fun. It was just the two of us along with JP and Crystal. We honestly felt like we were with our friends. They made us so comfortable and relaxed. There was no rushing at all. We can't wait to get our photos and video. With all the money we saved by eloping, we were able to comfortably spoil ourselves to the fullest. Lots of Spa treatments, fine dining, shopping, Biltmore Estate....... Trust me on this......Don't waste money on some huge affair that you have to pay for, for years to come. Thank you so very much JP and Crystal.

Aaron and Philan of White Shutter Photography exceeded all of the expectations we could have had…read morefor our wedding day! When we first interviewed Aaron he told us that he wouldn't just be our photographer, he would help the entire night run smoothly- he did. Aaron and Philan came the hotel prior to our ceremony. Philan took precious photos of me, my mom, and my girls while helping me into my dress! Aaron hung out with my husband beforehand, taking photos, helping him into his tux, and making everything seem easy. Aaron helped us execute a strategic plan for more pictures to be taken prior the ceremony, without us seeing each other:) It was brilliant! Five minutes before I was ready to walk down the aisle I was standing in the bridal room at my church, doing my best to stay calm, when Philan came in and just started snapping pictures- I was immediately at ease. As the night went on, Aaron and Philan were everywhere. Aaron's creative eye never stopped! He would have shot photos all night if we didn't have a reception to get to. Our pictures are amazing. Some people will tell you that photography isn't that big of a deal because you only really get a couple of pictures you want to save and showcase for the rest of your life. We got hundreds, seriously. We have no regrets recommending White Shutter Photography to all brides- they are truly fantastic.

Aaron and Philan did an amazing job on our wedding day! When we first met with Aaron (Philan was…read moreout of town), we got a great vibe from him. He told us all about Philan and how they were married and worked events together. We felt very at ease during our first meeting and we decided right then and there that we wanted them to be our photographers. Aaron and Philan were able to capture who we really are as a couple in their photos. We love the candid shots that we got of the two of us. Some of our favorite pictures are of my husband and his brother, who has Down Syndrome. The way they captured the special relationship between my husband and his brother is truly amazing and I am so glad that my husband has those photos. I know it means a lot to him. We would highly recommend Aaron and Philan for any event. They are truly an amazing couple and we feel very lucky to have shared our special day with them.

If you're looking for a photographer for your wedding in Jackson Hole, look no further than Heather…read moreErson Photography. We hired the team of Heather and her husband Drew for our winter wedding a year ago and have been so happy with the results. Besides giving Heather a list of things that were important to us, she took those suggestions and produced photos beyond what we could have imagined were possible. For example, at the end of the evening we all went outside to light wish lanterns to send off into the star lit sky. As everyone was putting on their coats to go outside, Heather suggested I go out without my coat because my dress would be covered. Well, Heather's suggestion led to one of our favorite photos: the two of us taken from behind as we released our lantern into the sky, looking upwards and still holding the lantern, and the back of my dress flowing into the snow in full view...highlighted by the glow of warm candlelight. The moment was captured beautifully and is now framed on our wall. We also asked Heather to take some shots of us during the day in front of the iconic Tetons and those photos are always met with a "wow"! Thank you to Heather and Drew for helping make our memories more beautiful with such amazing photographs to enjoy for years to come.
