PSA for brides...Always read reviews. (For example, the previous Ken McDonald review) Our experience was almost identical. I was the Maid of Honor in a wedding in April and words cannot describe how unprofessional the photographers and DJ were from beginning to end.
To start, they were BOTH LATE. The bride had filled out several pages of paperwork (that they provided) as to pictures etc. that the couple wanted. NONE of that happened. They arrived at the venue sloppily dressed, (jeans and hoodies) and we had to track them both down in the parking lot to even get them started and the first words out of the photographer's mouth was "So what do you want us to do?" What was the sense of the list of what pictures the couple wanted captured and songs they wanted played if they weren't even going to bring them to use?
Neither of the 2 photographers seemed to have ANY experience. They put us in line ups with the sun directly in our faces so that 90% of the pictures the entire wedding party is squinting, they NEVER gave us a "1, 2, 3" so that anyone knew when to smile etc. There was a slight breeze, and, in several pictures, the bridal party had their hair FULLY covering their faces, we literally had to ask them to stop for a moment so that we could re-adjust. They took several pictures that had horrible shading on everyone's faces or they took pictures from down below which is always a no-no. ALL of these are Photography 101.
We were at a beautiful outdoor apple orchard and the ONLY place they thought to put us was with a highway directly behind us with cars driving by and houses in it??? It was bad enough that myself and two other bridesmaids after 45 mins had to take control and get them to move us to other parts of the venue etc. Neither the bride nor groom in particular got specific pictures with their immediate family, moms, brothers, children etc. There were no pictures of the guys getting ready and they missed 95% of the bride getting ready and the few pre-wedding pictures we did get of the bride were again because the bridal party had to step in.
It was the same with the DJ. It was asked that he come to the rehearsal the night before to get the lay of the land etc. They did not. Again, he showed up late (he arrived 30 mins before wedding ceremony) and then of course had technical difficulties that delayed the start of the wedding, that had he been at rehearsal as requested, could have easily been avoided. Last, but not least, while we were setting up for the reception, he advised a brides family member that "her ass was in the way..."
We (the ENTIRE wedding party) are heartbroken for our bride and groom. If we could leave LESS than one star, we would. Definitely would NOT recommend. It makes sense now that individuals do not have the ability to leave reviews on their Facebook page or their main business page...
We really only hired a dj because we needed sound equipment and for someone to press play on our playlist. The dj provided by this company still messed that up. We asked him to mic the ceremony and he said he could but never did set it up. He also didn’t fade out the music, he just abruptly switched songs in the ceremony (which we specifically asked him not to do). It also took us several times of asking for him to select the correct playlist for dinner (it was labeled dinner playlist). To top it off- when he announced the bride and groom wrong he said the completely wrong name for the groom. I would not recommend this service for your wedding DJ.
They were absolutely fantastic the dj was super interactive. They played multiple games with our guests and kept everything fun. I’m super happy I went with them.
The photographers were awesome we all had a great time the dj was really good and worked with us both did so well for our special day thank you.
Amazing professionalism, went out of way to make sure everything was perfect!
A great family owed and operated business. The photographers made sure my day when off without any issues. The DJ was able to read the crowd and keep the party going . Not to mention they are extremely affordable.
Been to a wedding that used them it was amazing really wished I had known about them for my wedding. We used them for other services of my own pictures, DJ, photo booth and bounce house rentals. They really have it all for an affordable price, definitely recommend using them I know i will.
Afford a wedding was amazing at my wedding! They took care of my pictures, the DJ, and my officiating wonderfully. Highly recommend
Best business around! Great attitudes and are very down to nature! Wanted our big day to be the BIGGEST day! Truly are affordable and HIGHLY recommended everyone to do business with them!
They did an amazing job!
My wife and I searched every where trying to find a good fit for our wedding. And when I tell you the people at Afford A Wedding make you feel like family you have to trust me. They went beyond what was expected. The DJ was the best MC i could have ever asked for. They kept everything running smoothly, so we didnt have to stress. I highly recommend them for anyone's event.
I never thought anyone could make my wedding day so much easier on my bride. They were ontop of everything and made the day so easy to enjoy. I couldn't recommend anyone more than afford a wedding. The pictures turned out amazing, and our DJ was so hands on with the crowd and had so many games to play. Never a dull moment and we will be looking back on this day forever because of their team. Thanks again guys!
Great people to work with!! Very nice space with plenty of room for events. They were informative and answered any questions I had with a smile and clear answer. I could definitely see myself using this space and recommending friends and family to use it in the future.
Very professional and easy to work with. This company not only was affordable but honestly helpful. They made our event the best it could have been without breaking the bank. I will always recommend them to anyone needing there services. 10 stars if I could.
