To put it in perspective for you, there was still over 50 people dancing at the end of the night (midnight!). Both young and old remarked that it was the best reception they had ever attended. I feel that it was most likely due to Keith Alan's expertise. Keith Alan's fee is reasonable. We felt like we owed him MORE in the end!

Absolutely stellar wedding photographer! Zack Wussow Media had already done my friends' wedding (I…read morewent to art school with Zack, knew his capabilities and made the connection) and their pictures came out stunning. So when my husband and I first got engaged, we knew right away who we wanted to shoot ours. Zack and his second shooter Heather were the perfect photo team, always on the periphery of our vision, yet somehow also right in the middle of the action snapping incredible shots of our best moments. Everything on our shot list was captured and reflected our vision for how we wanted things to look. Plus, hundreds of beautiful photos were edited and returned to us promptly. The whole experience was just a delight. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

Used them for our wedding in 2007. their work is REALLY nice. At the time they were one of few…read more(though they claimed the only - which we later found out was not true) that did flush mount albums. My issues came later when prior to my wedding I wanted to provide him with a list of portraits I wanted to be sure to capture he told me he didn't do that to have someone at the wedding handle that. There were also some detail shots I would have wanted that were never taken - again because he wouldn't take the list. Now I realize this all sounds very bridezilla like but there were certain individuals I wanted to be certain got included in portraits - my 90 year old aunt that has since passed away, my 15 year old cousin who was a bridesmaid and wasn't in the bridal party shots because there wasn't anyone really keeping track of who needed to stay and go. The detail shots I would have sucked up...but the people, that's a true loss to me. Additionally we had been told they could do some airbrushing and had for our engagement sessions (airbrushed out a manufacturing plant in the background) when asked if they could do the same for a couple of portraits they told us they couldn't without up charging. In the end the album is beautiful and still gets rave compliments but the customer service side wasn't where I'd have liked it to be. If you're okay with letting them handle everything, then you will be thrilled with their work, but if you want input - I'd ask some very pointed questions before hiring to make sure you feel comfortable.

I'll start off by saying - I am SO grateful for Ashley! She is such an expert at what she does, not…read moremissing a single detail. I started wedding planning thinking "I can do this on my own!" - but boy was I WRONG. The minute I spoke with Ashley during our consult phone call, I knew she was exactly who I needed! She keeps in touch, she is so thorough, works through every contract, ensures that you are thinking about EVERY detail, and on the day of, she runs like a well oiled machine. She takes the reins so you don't have to think/worry about ANYTHING except having an incredible day. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone and everyone even CONSIDERING a wedding coordinator. Trust me - you need one - and Ashley is the best around!

And a 10 x 8…read moreportrait of our choosing (under the impression that this is what the retainer was for as I would never spend what the prices were for something like this, it's not my forte) I was impressed with the photographer as we had my senior dog with us and she made all types of noises and distractions to get our dog to look at the camera. Upon unveiling of the photos, we simply fell in love, however, weren't ready to spend the pricing that was attached to these. Kelsey, the woman who did the presentation made us feel very uncomfortable and when we told her we could not afford these photos in excess of over $1,000, ...excuse me portrait, because I was corrected multiple times when I said photos, her face spoke louder than she did. I paid $200 for retainer I was told was refundable specifically NOT towards the price of the artwork. Kelsey kept trying to rein us in and after specifically telling her that we were not interested, we finally walked away with $500 worth of digital photos due to it being our senior dog and didn't want to lose a precious memory. I am very unimpressed with this company and I'm sad that I fell for this. The communication was horrible with this and we were under the impression that the 8 x 10 artwork would actually be valuable and a presentable piece that was able to be hung in our Home. All in all I felt it this was a sales tactic, and we got looped in.

I got married this summer, and hiring ESTOccasions to help plan and coordinate my wedding was the…read morebest gift I could have given myself as a bride. Around this time last year, my then fiancé/now husband and I had a decent amount of our wedding planned and booked, but I was starting to stress about the schedule and how we'd be able to handle everything the day of. We decided to get married at Edgerton Park in New Haven because it's across the street from our first apartment together, and it's very special to us. We rented the carriage house, which has a bathroom and some usable space inside, but because it's not a banquet hall kind of venue, we had to bring everything else in ourselves. We wanted our wedding to be fun and feel like a festival at our favorite park, so we rented a big tent and had food trucks instead of standard catering. One day, while walking our dog through the park and scoping out another wedding for ideas, we saw a bride putting flowers on tables and directing food trucks where to go. My husband and I knew that I could not do this the day of our wedding - that's when we should be getting ready and taking pictures - so we started looking into hiring a day of coordinator. Some friends of ours had ESTOccasions plan their wedding, so I asked them about it, and they could not say enough good things about Kia. They said that in the end, she felt like their friend, not just their wedding planner, and by the time our wedding came around, I felt the same way. Kia and her team were amazing from the beginning. One of the first things she asked was, what was I stressed about. It was great to channel what I was worried about into a plan, and Kia had a solution for everything. We went with the day of coordination package, but this included more than just coordinating the day (which they did impeccably). We also got planning meetings, a walk-through of our ceremony and reception area, put in touch with a second food truck and help planning our menu, and several emails and phone calls, including a phone call the day before our wedding when I had a slight meltdown about a potential issue with our tent rental, which ended up working out just fine. The walk-through alone was worth the package price. My husband and I had been struggling with where to have the ceremony in this park we went to almost every day, and Kia figured out the perfect spot right away. We had a natural flow from ceremony to reception, and Kia also found the best spots to put all of our food trucks (we ended up having the Naples Pizza truck, Lizzie's Curbside, the Mobile Pub, and Elm City Kettle Corn, and that's not including our wedding cupcakes from Sweet Mary's in New Haven and coolers of water and seltzer.) Kia and her team were there bright and early to set up the ceremony site and reception decorations, and everything was perfect. They were also there to bring us water when we were taking pictures (it was a hot June day), and they even handled our dog during pictures so that our little best friend could be in some of them. They were the point of contact for all of our vendors, and they made sure everything ran smoothly. They let us know when it would be a good time to cut the cake, when it made sense to do the father/daughter dance, and when it was the perfect time for my brother's band, the Funky Dawgz Brass Band, to top the party off. They packed up our leftover cupcakes and got everything set for us to pick up in the morning, and they were always there with drinks for me and my husband when we needed them. Our wedding was really the best day ever, and we owe a lot of that to Kia and her team.
