We haven't gotten all of our pictures back but the ones we did receive take my breath away! She has such a great eye and captured moments I didn't even know happened. I would use her again if I even need a professional photographer. Thank you so much for capturing all the beautiful moments from our wedding!

What sets Kay apart from other vendors in our eyes other than her beautiful photography style was her upbeat attitude and patience with us.

Also, her pricing and flexibility with payments helped ease the stress of an already expensive event. Kay and her husband were amazing and we couldn't be happier with our photos

As everyone will tell you, "photographs and your husband are all that you will have after the wedding" well, i'm quiet pleased with both! Paul and his assistant showed up when they said they would, they finished the portraits according to the time table. They shot the wedding without getting in the way, and then directed my very rowdy wedding party to capture fun, corky and sophisticated photographs. They even managed to wrangle up all 175 wedding guest for a group picture. Also, what I loved the most was that he provided similar photographs with different editing styles so all our photos didn't look the same. didn't expect him to put so much work into making us look great! And, he send the photos on a flash drive in a very cute wooden box with out picture on the cover...very creative :) Feel free to message me if you have any questions about my experience or would like to talk to a fellow bride who dealt with him prior!

We had Dan and a guitarist perform live for cocktail hour, which our guests loved. Dan also did our first dances live, one of which he learned for us, which made the day all the more special! And once dancing started, he seamlessly switched to DJing. Truly, it was such an incredible experience to be able to include live music in our day, and it made it all the more special. Dan was so kind and very on top of introducing our bridal party, handing off the mic to those giving toasts, and such a perfect addition to our big day! I highly recommend working with them for your wedding.

We can't say enough nice things about Dan and Come Alive Entertainment. Picking the right music was…read moreone of the things we were most excited about when we were planning our wedding, and we can't imagine having chosen anyone else. Working with Dan was truly a great experience and he and the team at Come Alive Entertainment were extremely helpful every step of the way. He personally helped us build out our music plan for the big day and provided his expertise whenever we needed some extra help. Dan's live music during our ceremony is something that we will always remember and brought tears to our eyes and goosebumps to our arms. His music helped make the ceremony as special as we hoped for and those songs will forever be a part of our lives. We both will never forget our first dance and singing along as Dan performed exactly what we wanted. That moment is truly a highlight of the wedding and of our lives. After playing live music throughout the ceremony and cocktail hour, Dan helped us craft a great playlist for our dinner service and was the best DJ as we switched to the dancefloor. He made sure the dancefloor was packed all night long and played every song we wanted while also finding the perfect mix of songs for our guests. Dan was able to pivot when needed and was there for us in a way that we will always remember. Not only was Dan the best musician, emcee and DJ we could have hoped for, he is such a kind person and we could tell that he truly wanted to help make our wedding as special as possible. Thank you so much to Dan and everyone at Come Alive Entertainment for making our wedding so memorable and for giving us memories that we will always cherish. We highly recommend choosing Come Alive Entertainment for your wedding or special event.

Unfortunately, I had a really disappointing experience with Josh at my wedding, and I wouldn't…read morerecommend him to other couples. Despite providing clear verbal, written, and even video instructions, he missed several major cues--starting our first dance too early, announcing the father-daughter dance while we were still bowing, then missing the cue to start the actual song. He also completely botched the ceremony music cue, even though we went over everything in advance. To make things worse, he canceled a scheduled meeting at the venue just days before the wedding, which was supposed to help finalize details. We created a video walk-through for him to avoid any confusion, but he still didn't follow the plan. The playlists we spent time curating were not played in the right order--for example, after the father-daughter dance, he was supposed to ease into international and intergenerational music. Instead, he played "Work Bitch" by Britney Spears, which was wildly inappropriate for that moment and crowd. He didn't read the room at all. He billed himself as an MC, but he barely engaged with the crowd and did nothing to energize or guide the evening. I'm talking ZERO charisma. I had written him a script and a detailed timeline to make things easy, and still, we were left scrambling. After my solo bridal performance, he didn't switch to the Armenian playlist as instructed. I had to go to the booth myself and ask. Then, when he disappeared mid-set (apparently for a bathroom break), he left the playlist on shuffle and songs began to repeat. Again, I had to step in and manage it myself--on my own wedding night. Even my cousin asked me, "Why are you DJing your own wedding?" Overall, it was an unprofessional and stressful experience. I put so much effort into creating a fun and thoughtful night, and instead of enjoying it, I found myself constantly managing a vendor who should've had it under control. He came off as sloppy, unprepared, and totally not up to the task.
