He wasn't completely horrible, but he certainly sold himself better than he was. He usually took at least 2 days to respond to all my emails, When we had our final meeting, i had to give him ALL of the information over again. He had forgotten just about everything we had previously discussed.
When it came to his performance at the wedding...there was much to be desired. He didn't seem to understand his equipment very well because he was late with the recessional music & he messed up on our grand entrance song causing it to play double.
He never checked to make sure everyone was present before starting the music for special events. for example, I missed the first play through of the cake cutting song cause i was going to the bathroom, my dad missed the cake cutting entirely! & My husband was absent for the bouquet toss & we had to hunt for him in order to do the garter toss, causing a 10 minutes pause of nothingness.
Later on he had to run across the dance floor in order to put more music on, because he was distracted talking to the waitstaff at the buffet. He also tripped on his wires & killed all the music for another 5 minutes of silence.
the 1 thing that has me peeved most is that I had told him that i didn't want any participation songs. (macarena, electric slide,...) didn't matter if even my mother requested it. the answer was no! well he apparently only understood half of that. Because about 1/2 hr into the dancing, he sent a guest to me for permission to play electric slide, in which case i had to tell her no myself. WTH?? that was SO embarrassing!!! no bride should have to be put in that situation!
after I gave him the above review on weddingwire.com he completely bashed me calling me a drunk and abusive bridezilla (completely opposite of the truth) beware his temper!
Their cake is amazing! very moist & the buttercream is nice and creamy, not over sugary. they are also pretty fair on their prices too!
His prices are excellent and he's really willing to help work within you budget! Not to mention all of his photos came out amazing!!! best photography i've ever had the pleasure of being the subject in! (all of the photos under reception were taken by him)
Their flowers were amazing & cost effective! my cascading bouquet only cost me $95, whereas other florists wanted $150 for the same thing. When we went for our final meeting and to get the final balance, they ended up tossing in extra button mums in the bridesmaid bouquets as well as a few other things for free!
We got her for a great deal by signing the contract by a certain date, she started filming earlier than contracted, and stayed about an hour later as well. Also from what I understood of our agreement, she was to use a second stationary camera for just the ceremony, but she used it all night at no extra charge! we are still waiting for our raw footage though. but i'm positive that it'll be great!
