George street photo took care of us to prepare for our wedding day from the very beginning, I was on the phone for an hour one day because I was freaking out about a timeline, they helped calm my nerves and reassure me every step of the way. The photographers/videographers were professional kind and made everyone feel comfortable and the photos turned out beautiful and all came in earlier than expected! I’ve been in other weddings and every time I’m so grateful that we had George Street. Couldn’t thank them enough!!

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn't have made a better choice in using Heirloom Event Company to help us plan our wedding. Our planning timeline was only about 5 months, My husband and I lived in different countries and had to deal with the added stress of immigration visas on top of wedding planning. We wanted a planner who would understand our needs and someone we could trust to listen to our vision for the day and make it happen. Haylie was so easy to work with, always on top of deadlines and keeping us on track in the all stages of planning. She listened to our ideas and dreams and found vendors that suited and fit within budget. She found us an amazing coffee cart vendor after i said coffee would be awesome to have. We dreamed of it being a fairytale/ hobbiton vibes in the music, she found us a music duo who hit the brief perfectly. She helped us surprise each other the morning of and throughout the day. She communicated with vendors, understood the fine print in the contracts and would let us know what our responsibility was. She was so supportive throughout the whole planning stage, any questions we had she answered and even after the wedding, answering questions that only come up after the event has happened. Haylie was intentional, thoughtful and she helped us be at ease leading up to the wedding and day of. With family travelling from outside of the country, she made a simple document we could give to them to have all the info needed so they didn't ask us the day of. Haylie went above and beyond to make our wedding day our dream day and we cant thank her enough.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so grateful to have had "Hairs 2 the Bride" for our wedding on September 21, 2024! From start to finish, they were fantastic. I went to a hair and makeup trial before the wedding, and both Eva and Maria were incredibly warm, friendly, and professional. They took the time to really listen to what I was looking for and made sure everything was perfect. I felt so comfortable with them, and they made the trial fun and relaxing. On the wedding day, we decided to add Natalia to the team after discussing with the owner, and it turned out to be the best decision. Having an additional stylist really helped speed up the process, and everything ran so smoothly as a result. They brought everything they needed, including lighting, and set up in no time. They were punctual, organized, and ready to get started as soon as we arrived at the venue. Throughout the morning, Eva, Maria, and Natalia were a joy to be around. They kept the whole group on time without making it feel rushed, which was such a relief with all the wedding-day chaos. They were also fun to talk to and kept the mood light, which made the getting-ready process so enjoyable. I had a bit of a rash on my shoulder that day, and I was really concerned about it. But the team worked their magic and expertly covered it – I couldn’t even tell it was there! They also added on makeup services for my mother-in-law at the last minute, which was so thoughtful. My mother-in-law was absolutely thrilled with how she looked and felt so special. In the end, I felt absolutely stunning on my wedding day, and I have "Hairs 2 the Bride" to thank for that. They made me, my bridal party, and my family look and feel beautiful. I can’t recommend them enough – they’re not just talented professionals, but they genuinely care about making your day perfect!

Awarded Best of Zola
I started communicating with Tom less than two months before our wedding date because I had a moment of panic and realized I would regret not having video at our wedding. I am so grateful that our weekend was one of the few weekends in June he was not booked. Tom was so easy to work with, and the shots that he got were amazing! My husband really wanted to prioritize photos over video, so we communicated that to Tom and he let our photographers take the lead on everything without getting in their way, but at the same time he didn’t miss any important shots. He also helped to capture the first look prank that I had pulled on my husband with his best man in a wedding dress, that was featured in the one minute teaser he sent us the day after the wedding. It. Was. Incredible. I didn’t actually get to see the prank because I had to hide for our actual first look, so I’m so glad Tom captured it on video it was just so funny. It also rained in the middle of our ceremony so we ended up getting married in a downpour, and the slow motion shots that Tom got of me and my husband kissing in the rain brought tears to my eyes. People always tell you that your wedding day will be a whirlwind and it’s over before you know it, but you don’t truly appreciate that until you’re in the moment. Then it’s midnight and it’s over and you wonder how the whole day just passed in the blink of an eye! We cannot wait to see the final edited video that Tom puts together for us. There was so much on the front end of things, people’s emotions, etc that I didn’t get to see as the bride walking down the aisle last. Deciding last minute to hire a videographer was one of the best decisions I made during this whole wedding planning process because now we have the opportunity to relive our wedding day! Tom also sent us all his raw video footage a week after the wedding and it has been so fun to basically enjoy our own wedding day from our guests’ perspective! I found Tom because he was the videographer at a friend’s wedding and she highly recommended him. I will definitely be recommending him to anyone I know who is looking for a wedding videographer in the future!

My husband and I will never stop recommending BW Studio Events!!!! Blair is an absolute pro! She has a fool-proof strategy for wedding planning, a wealth of wedding knowledge and connections with the highest quality vendors, and a stunning vision and ability to understand the vision of others! The peace of mind Blair's expertise and communication brought to our planning process was PRICELESS. We knew no detail would be missed, and we were confident that Blair could handle any challenge that might come our way, whether it was on the day of or during planning. Our wedding day was truly perfect, and the way the vision in my head came to life in our venue surpassed my expectations! Meanwhile, I had the most chill, beautiful morning getting ready for the wedding, and I have her assistant Elly to thank for it! She was absolutely spectacular. She was present every moment we needed her and blended into the background while sneakily helping, like steaming our dresses and setting up the gifts for my ladies without us even knowing. She was like our secret fairy godmother! And when I was getting ready to walk down the aisle and was feeling anxious, she was the most calm presence. She really helped me keep my composure. So so grateful for all she did for us! She made me feel so special :] Long story short, if you're wondering if hiring a wedding planner is worth it, I'm here to tell you THEY ARE WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY!!!

I found Mike via thumbtack & although on there it stated he was booked on my wedding date I thought I’d still reach out to him. I’m so happy I did because he put me in touch with our dj, thankyouteddy and he did an awesome job djing for our wedding! Mike was very informative and gave me plenty of information. He also has you do a questionnaire to help narrow down the right dj for you based off your music preferences. Mike will reached out periodically to follow up & also puts you in touch with the dj the week of the wedding to go over details. Teddy arrived on time and kept everyone on our toes throughout the night. The only thing I will say, is if you’re doing bridal party introductions it’s best to rehearse it if possible. Or give an exact time of the song for your dj to play when each couple comes out.

We were thrilled with the Bluewater Kings Band for our wedding! Owen was fantastic to work with - he was prompt, organized, and enthusiastic in his communication. We splurged on adding a sax player and were so glad we did - it really brought an extra layer of talent and fun. The band absolutely nailed our preferred musical vibe. As soon as the music started, the dance floor filled up and stayed packed all night long! The set list matched our taste perfectly. The band brought a highly professional yet fun energy that kept the party going. Their musicianship was top-notch and their song selection had something for all our guests to enjoy. We felt like royalty celebrating with the Bluewater Kings Band behind us - choosing them was one of the best decisions we made for our big day!

Hi! I’m Alyssa, and I started my company out of my love for makeup. Cliché, I know. I grew up dancing and always had to have a full face of makeup. I quickly learned how much I enjoyed the entire process of getting glam. But to be honest, the best part of my job is making someone feel their absolute best. It is such an honor to be a part of someone’s special day. It truly fills my heart, and I look forward to building ongoing relationships with every one of my clients.

They made us feel so beautiful and confident, and everyone in the bridal party was absolutely thrilled with how their looks turned out. From the moment we sat down, they listened to our ideas and preferences, ensuring that each person's hair and makeup perfectly suited their style and the overall vibe of the day. Their talent, professionalism, and warm, friendly attitudes made the experience enjoyable and stress-free. Thank you so much, Alyssa Lynn Makeup, for making us all look and feel our best on such a special day. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for talented artists who will make your beauty vision come to life!

So there’s no “I” in team right?! While Captured Couture is the product of years of hard work that I built from the ground up. I have an amazing team because sometimes takes more than just me. For larger events or on occasions when I am already booked one of my team members will gladly assist with your event. We’ve covered hundreds of weddings together, and have refined our editing style and way of shooting to be completely consistent. You won’t be able to tell the difference. Pinky promise! No matter where you’re planning from when it clicks, it clicks.

Jennifer and her team were astonishing! I did a boudoir session as a bridal gift to my husband, it was such a breeze and I felt so comfortable, although I was quite nervous, she made me feel like I was a pro! Our wedding day was behind schedule all day and with a bridal party of 21 it was a chore keeping everyone on point. They not only kept us going but also checked off all the must have shots for us. Everyone was so professional and kind, we had an absolute fantastic time! I would 10/10 recommend! We budgeted for a good photographer and I am so grateful we did they were amazing to work with!
