What a lifesaver Party Belles was! My planner, Erin, was an absolute joy to work with. She was…read moreefficient and incredibly organized. She was on board with my ideas from the start and constantly was a sounding board for new ideas. She helped rein in my outlandish plans and she helped achieve my absolutely perfect day. We even had to adapt because one décor project was struggling, she found a different way to make it work. My stress level the day of was non-existent because I knew Erin and her team would have everything ready to go! I signed off for the month of planner; that month of planning services for my June wedding really started in November/December. We had multiple planning meetings and constant communication. It was worth every penny and if I had to do my day over, I'd definitely hire Erin and her belles again!!!

Kristina and Shaun are an absolute pleasure to work with! I got married on October 8, 2018 (yes a…read moreMonday) and they made our wedding everything we wanted it to be and so much more! We had our wedding in Northern Maryland and they had no problem traveling to us! It was so hard finding a DJ/entertainment service that could provide us with all of the services we wanted for our wedding at a reasonable price; it's not a coincidence I came across Nighthawk in my planning because we were blessed to find them. They made our vision come to life and I am sincerely grateful that they were a part of our day because they truly made it special! We had amazing lighting effects, a monogram and a great dancing on a cloud effect. They really listened to our needs and wants and actually executed them. We had very specific song requests and song mashups and we never got a "sorry, can't do that." I mean it when I say they made it all possible. I love how easy it was to communicate with them too; because when it comes to wedding planning the absolute last thing you need is an unresponsive vendor. Kristina was our MC and kept everything on track for us. She even helped bustle my dress! 5 stars is not enough, without a doubt they deserve 10! Thank you to Kristina and Shaun for making our wedding magical you guys have a client for life!

Well, the first thing you do is find an awesome wedding coordinator! Kaci and her team made our only daughter's wedding flawless, beautiful, and so easy to enjoy! All of Kaci's recommendations were spot on. All the vendors Kaci recommended were fantastic. Kaci and her team had a huge role in making this an event to be remembered. We had a few instances during the reception that required personal attention, but it didn't require my personal attention or that of the father of the bride or that of the bride because - - Kaci and Christine were there from start to finish! Kaci, thank you so very much for everything you and Simple Soirée did for Katie and Liam's wedding. From your helpful suggestions, to embracing all of the children in the wedding (of which there were four and three of them were my grandchildren) we had no distractions or cares. From lending a blanket and diapers (one thing we forgot - but Michele had!) to fixing boutonnières and dress hooks - you were there! Kaci, you and Christine provided more than coordination. You had a care for us as a family - not just another event. Your professionalism and calming presence were very much appreciated by myself and the bride! Our daughters wedding would not have been so successful if we didn't have Kaci and her team. Thank you again Kaci! Simple Soiree is simply wonderful!

My fiancé and I booked Joelle for engagement photos. They turned out horrible. Awkward…read moreangels,poses, in almost every picture one of us is making a weird face. I paid $250 for 20 pictures. She provided 40 pictures. Quality over quantity and none of them were good. When speaking to her about this and possibly reshooting or getting a refund she said she stands by her work and she would not reshoot. I deleted the entire email link she gave me because I didn't even want to look at the pictures. I am so upset and so disappointed. This pictures really meant a lot to my fiancé and I. I was very excited and now I'm really just heart broken. I do not recommend couples photos. Over all she seemed like a nice person and other photos may be better but couples photos and god forbid wedding pictures I wouldn't bother at all. Just over all very upsetting. **update*** She was not "blind sided" as we had an entire conversation of me begging to reshoot giving her the benefit of the doubt that it was an off day because her website did not look like this. When she wouldn't I asked for a refund and expressed how I really was not happy and how everything was just awkward. She said she "stood by her work" she said no one else had ever told her they didn't like their photo. Another persons review on "the knot" says otherwise (and they were someone's wedding photos and involve breach of contract). Examples of the "professional" photos Joelle took. You can see that they are awkward and unflattering. The picture of the ring you can see orange outlines all over my hand for her "edit". Which I believe her edits are just filters and lots of color enhancing not actual edits. She even provided "glamor edits" within 5 minutes to see if I would like them which was a weird and distorted makeup filter over my face in serval pictures. The reason I didn't want the focus on my pregnancy is because it is still very early and I have not even shared with many friends or close family members yet. Which I had told Joelle during our session. In fact I didn't even tell her I was pregnant a referral told her. The fact that she even brought that up during a response to a negative review is completely inappropriate and shows a level of unprofessionalism I didn't even think was possible. I don't think I'm a model by any means but my self confidence is not that low. When I said I was upset and "struggling" I got so emotional because these pictures were so important to me and she wouldn't budge and I started to blame myself. But it is not my fault that I got ripped off and bad photos. I was so polite when I had told her I wasn't happy. I debated even saying anything at all but was encouraged to speak up because they were expensive and I really wanted to love my photos. I trusted her to tell me if the weather would not work she as the "professional" told me she was comfortable and confident to go through with it. She didn't show me the photos as they were taken. She stopped at the end and quickly ran through the photos on the tiny little camera screen. As someone who doesn't know a thing about photography I was not very critical of the 1 inch by 1 inch screen and the rapid run through of pictures. When I actually got the photos back however I was able to see how terrible they are. None of my pictures are "wind blown" they are just bad photos. You can tell she's has no professional training and was probably a bored house wife who got a Nikon for Christmas and decided to make a career of it. How absolutely horrific.

The pictures were done nicely and she was easy to work with during the session, but did not follow…read morethrough with editing she promised (holes in the wall, scratch on leg, and tag showing) and the "free" book provided, which I had to remind her about three time, had her water marked name on two pictures and the pictures that I asked to edit in the book were not edited. When confronted about concerns, I was told she stands by her work. She did not even try to make the images better and did not look at the book. If this is the work she stands by, I would not recommend her. I had seen her work with another client and my product was not like my friend's work.

My new husband is a photographer/cinematographer, so we warned her we may be more critical than most, but we have nothing to criticize. Sara is a very warm person and was friendly and made us comfortable in intimate moments, and disappeared into the background just like a wedding photographer should others. We have received our images in a link, and were surprised how quickly she sent it -- Sara was always available and quick to respond via email. We will have trouble choosing from her photos and we'll be excited to use her again in the future.

The engagement shoot blew us away; she is an expert at posing you. At the wedding, she did so much more than take photos.

I can't wait to come back to Megan for many more life events to come.

Don't hesitate, just do it…read more I purchased a Groupon which led to Graciela (photographer of Indigo Love). I wanted to have a Boudoir session and give an album to my fiance on our wedding day. I initially contacted her via email and once the date of our session was set, she called. Immediately upon talking to her, my mind was put at ease. She is personable, outgoing, down-to-earth, and fun. She is easy to talk to and open to lots of ideas. She discussed her privacy policy, which I was most concerned about and it is very good. Prior to the shoot I took pictures of my outfits on my phone and she confirmed that I was on the right track and gave a few more ideas. The day of the shoot I got to her house early and was greeted by her and the make-up artist Katie (we were the only ones in her house the whole day). Graciela went through my outfits while Katie started on my hair and make up. Once I was ready to go, we went to the 'photography room' in her house. This is a room where everything, including the floor, is painted white. It's very vintage and she has a bunch of different settings/props (boudoir couch, old telephone, old radio, etc). She also has 2 backdrops available at the moment. Be sure to ask her about these ahead of time. She also has her own lighting, so don't worry about the day being cloudy instead of sunny. The pictures turned out fantastic! Some of them I look at and can't believe it's me. They look like a cross between Maxim and classy boudoir. I was so proud that I showed some of my friends (who now know me a little 'too' well!). Advice: I highly suggest at least getting the make up portion of the Boudoir session, because it really helps even out your skin tone in the bright lights of the photos. Don't expect fantastic hair, she's more of a makeup artist than a stylist, but it did the job for the 'bedhead look' I was wanting. And fair warning, Graciela is an artist with LOTS of ideas. You may have to keep her on track and be REALLY descriptive with your ideas. We had lots of plans at the beginning of the day, but in reality you only have a certain amount of time, so be sure to voice your thoughts because she will prioritize and not be offended. Lastly, if you're someone who needs a 'pristine' environment, you might talk to her about holding the session at a hotel room. Price? I went all out. I got the longer session with makeup and hair onsite, 8'x8' album, four 8'x10's, and two 5x7's. (FYI the album includes the digital's). When all was said and done, minus the Groupon and plus tip and the new outfits I spent around $900-1000. When I priced other photographers in the area and in Philly, that's actually VERY reasonable for everything I got. I suppose I could've done it for cheaper if I hadn't gotten all the extras, but you're only young once!

Kate and her team did an absolutely fantastic job bringing our wedding design board to life! We are…read moreso glad our wedding planner directed us to Forte Florals! Kate is based in Lancaster, but has a fairly wide area that she'll cover --- we never would have thought to consider a Lancaster-based vendor for our Delaware wedding, but she was happy to oblige and seemed to be a much better value than florists in/around Philadelphia and the Main Line. She was also willing to work with our budget despite it being a little below her usual minimum, and she was respectful of this limit throughout the process. We had an initial call with Kate and our wedding planner to review our design boards, and we'd opted to give Kate a fair amount of flexibility to use whatever florals she felt were appropriate for our vibe and color scheme. This allowed her to choose the most beautiful blooms available that weekend; I'm convinced some of the blooms in my bridal bouquet were literally the most perfect flowers I've ever seen, put together so gorgeously with the perfect amount of whimsy. In addition to bein so sweet and responsive, Kate truly took our Powerpoint design board and brought it to life in a way that was even more beautiful than we could have imagined.
