My husband and I met the owner of Endy Events, Bryon Endy, at a Rainbow Wedding Expo and, after…read moresome really positive interactions, we hired them for our Oct. 11, 2025 wedding for DJ, photography, and videography. Planning went smoothly overall, and Bryon was helpful in guiding decisions we hadn't considered. Our only service-related critique is that the photographer provided minimal direction during posed photos. Otherwise, the day itself went well, and the DJ was excellent--we still receive compliments on the music. The main issues arose after the wedding. Our contract stated we would receive our digital photo gallery within eight weeks. We only received updates after repeatedly reaching out post-deadline, and ultimately received the gallery six days late (and two days after the second communicated date) with no apologies. While we understand fall is a busy wedding season, the lack of proactive communication was frustrating. The photos themselves were lovely for the most part. Further delays have occurred with the USB containing our videography. After confirming our mailing address on December 13 and being told to expect the USB in 2-3 weeks, we still have not received it. Multiple follow-up emails we sent have gone unanswered, and it is now four weeks past the expected delivery window. While we recognize delays (and life) can happen, the consistent lack of communication around paid-for deliverables is unprofessional. Although the DJ service was top tier, we simply cannot recommend Endy Events to couples who expect timely delivery and clear communication for their final products.
