Emee was an essential part of our wedding planning and execution, start to finish-- she paved the…read moreway to creating the best weekend of our lives. We wanted an event that brought our community and family together to celebrate love, bikes, and camping in the stunning Columbia River Gorge, and it felt like Emee truly understood what was important to us from the start. There were so many tiny details she caught and helped us navigate. I particularly appreciated her calm support when we had a potential catering issue just three days before the wedding. She talked me off the ledge of worry and was willing to think through a full backup plan with me, before the issue resolved on its own. There were countless other instances of Emee handling things on the day of the wedding that let me, my husband, and our family just enjoy our time together. Thank you Emee, we saw your tireless effort to pull this event off for us, and we are so grateful for all of your work!

I worked with EJP Events on a 450-person gala fundraiser for the nonprofit that I work for, and it…read morewas a wonderful experience working with EJP! They were thorough, prompt, professional, and good at creatively solving problems as they arose. I would recommend EJP Events to anyone who is planning a large event - the experience was wonderful and my staff colleagues, supporters, and donors were all very impressed with the quality of our event. Emee and her team had great staffing at the event and skillfully coordinated all of our many shifting logistics for months leading up to the event. When we encountered obstacles, they handled them. When we needed to make changes, they cheerfully accommodated them. EJP has a "Can-do" attitude and they're both pragmatic and realistic about setting expectations while finding a way to get everything done. I'm so glad that we worked with EJP and they're at the top of my list for event planning in the future.

Jen from Bellagram responded right away to our inquiry (we messaged her less than 24hrs before her services were needed) and as she was out of town, she was able to have one of her counterparts fill in and deliver a beautiful birthday message for us! Our aunt absolutely loved it and our family FaceTimed with us so we could watch and be a part of the singing and celebrating! We wouldn't hesitate to use Bellagram again! It is an awesome way to show someone how much you care. Thanks, Jen and Darka!

He did some "tricks" that felt genuinely psychic. I've been doing psychic counseling for about 50 years and what he did felt very real to me. While I know he's a magician - he definitely had me fooled plus highly entertained! Everyone at my table loved his show and other people were raving about it as we left. If you hear he'll be at an event - definitely go see him!! If you are having an event - hire him!! You'll be happy you did!

Grateful for his beautiful videography work but also for his diligence to keep our videos in safe keeping despite my lapse! Thank you, Kevin! We will be recommending you to friends and family. 10/10 recommend!

We absolutely loved working with Mark. We picked him as our wedding photographer because of the…read morenatural and journalistic style of his work. And he delivered exactly that: beautiful, natural looking photos, not overly filtered or staged, but with a creative and artistic style. Mark was able to capture the spirit of the whole event with great candid shots. It is great to see the whole event unfold in the photos when we look through them. Can't be happier with the final photos. Another huge plus of working with Mark is getting the photos back really fast. He was able to send us some sneak peek photos the morning after the wedding and then delivered the rest within 2 weeks! That's pretty amazing!!! Highly recommend working with Mark.

Mark photographed our wedding on the WA side of the Columbia River Gorge, and we so loved how he…read moretold the story and captured the mood and emotion of our day. We found Mark through his well-stocked Instagram. From the moment we reached out, he was responsive, personable, caring, enthusiastic, and showed that he listened to us and really *heard us*--really, all the things you'd want in a person who will document one of the most important days of your life. The thing that most impressed us was how Mark was able to make us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, how he wasn't at all intrusive but was completely central in capturing all the pivotal moments of the day, and he expertly navigated through a huge weather challenge (i.e. rain the whole day) on our wedding day. We weren't expecting the rain, and we had to significantly re-shuffle our wedding format 3 days before our wedding, and from that came lots of jitters and a bit of stress day-of. But what Mark captured in our photos of our wedding day was everyone having SO MUCH FUN, of how much fun we had ourselves, and of me and my husband being present and in love. And let me tell you, Mark got some stunning photos of us in the fog and rain. I'll also mention that we thought Mark's pricing was very competitive, and we did not "miss" having a second shooter at all. We ended up with about 600 digitally edited prints (that we own), with over 100 favorites that we'll put in an album. This turnaround time was also very quick, around within 4-6 weeks! I would absolutely recommend him to any bride or groom to be!
