Rivet Events

mployees. Two months before our wedding, our videographer Joseph Gaines became unresponsive. At that point we had never talked about our vision. Since I know that close weddings are the priority, I waited almost a month before reaching out again. I still heard nothing even though it was now about 5 weeks until our wedding. I reached out to Joshua and heard quickly back that he would talk to Joseph and another senior member of the team, Daniel Rodriguez, and that we would hear from Joseph soon. A few days passed without hearing from Joseph so I followed up with Joshua again. The next morning, Joshua again promptly responded and said that we would hear from Joseph by the end of that day, and asked Daniel for an update. We did not hear from either Joseph or Daniel. At that point, we were no longer comfortable with Joseph as our videographer and wanted to switch to someone else. Because of how awesome and responsive Joshua is, we wanted to make things work with Rivet. However, after we sent that email requesting someone else, we heard nothing for several days. Again, I do not think this was the fault of the owner, Joshua, as he had already brought in a senior member of the team to help with things. Anyway, I figured they were working something out and was fine waiting to hear back. I trusted they would care enough to work with us on a solution. However, 3 days later the first person we hear from is Joseph, who is not very apologetic (he literally only said "sorry for the delay") and asked us for times to meet the next week as though he was still our assigned videographer. Our hearts immediately sank because it was clear they still expected us to use him. They further sank when we reviewed the examples of his work he had sent and we saw that his editing was notably less polished than what is shown in the example videos here and on their website. As it was now 31 days until our wedding, we ate the money and got incredibly lucky in immediately finding an amazing (albeit expensive) company willing to help us. We did that 30 days before the wedding so are getting a 50% refund (minus the 25% retainer fee) from Rivet, which I really appreciate. We finally heard back from Daniel after I had notified the team that we were canceling our services and had found a new videographer. He was very apologetic and said he tried to send us a message the previous day about him personally shooting our wedding and adding on a bunch of great extras for free, but accidentally only sent it to Joshua. When I mentioned how the last straw was how Joseph acted when he finally reached out, Daniel said that Joseph had already been informed that he was no longer assigned to our wedding and had no idea why Joseph decided to still reach out, especially in the way he did. This situation exemplifies the unknowns and potential risks of choosing a company that contracts with inexperienced videographers and does not employ them full time. Having said all that, if you can’t afford anything better I think you might be okay if you ask who the videographers currently are, their experience/training, and review examples of their specific work. Also see if you can choose who you get.

ce floor packed the entire night. Our videographer was there capturing every moment from the pre-ceremony photos until our send-off at the end. Our coordinator, Marie, was absolutely amazing and handled everything perfectly so that I could enjoy every moment of my day. This is such a great deal, with such a great service, I don't see how you could go with anyone else!!

capture one of the biggest moments of your life is so hard to do and there are so many fears that come with the territory, but rest assured that their team is fully capable of delivering the best memories. Caroline and Jacob were so fun to work with and they truly made us feel so comfortable. My husband HATES taking pictures and he actually enjoyed these (which that in itself says everything!!) We did photography and videography and they were both so thorough with everything from the smallest details to the big ones! They made sure we had every single picture/moment that we dreamt of captured! Even with our guests, they caught beautiful moments of the people we love being their authentic selves. Don’t walk, RUN! They are the most professional, genuine people and you will not regret working with them! We hold the utmost respect for this business and will forever. The memories that they have given us are worth everything!

re during the planning was professional and helpful! Would highly recommend using Rivet Events for your wedding needs.

they felt like a family-run business. While our wedding was out-of-state, we appreciated having an Atlanta-local team willing to travel with us and figure out the logistics of a "destination" wedding. Everyone on the team went above and beyond on the day of our wedding and we could not have been happier with the outcome of their efforts. We received our sneak peak photos within a week of our wedding and are already so in love with how they are turning out! We cannot thank everyone enough for their hard work before, during, and after the wedding to make everything as easy for us as possible. We would like to personally thank our coordinator, Laurianna, for keeping our wedding timeline smooth and on-schedule, Jeremy and Brook for our amazing photos, Joseph for his videography skills, Jackson for keeping everyone on the dance floor, Ash for helping in so many ways as assistant coordinator, and Josh for managing everything in the beginning. We had the best day and would not hesitate to recommend Rivet Events to our friends!

t everything was perfect. DJ Courtney mas a great emcee and dj and had the entire place dancing. My favorite part was the special dance mix that he created to help to get the party started. Everyone from Rivet helped to make the wedding we envisioned come to life, and for that, we are truly grateful.

gether and the customer service from Joshua was fantastic (we had a few issues downloading but the team was super helpful in getting the technical difficulty figured out). Overall, I would definitely recommend Rivet Events, we will cherish our videos for a lifetime!

d everyone in the team to anyone who is looking for an extremely professional and well-organized team! Extremely thankful to Kelcie Asby, Michone Bretfeld, Jacob Roberts, Jonny Rodriguez, and Dithson Noel.

n care of and had the best people for our wedding. My friends still send me their Photobooth Pictures, and everyone has said that we had the best Music hands down at a wedding! I cannot wait to see the video that Michael T comes up with <3 Thank you Rivet!!

a timely manner. Our photographers, Michael and John, made our day run so smoothly and were so knowledgeable about everything wedding! These people have it down to a science and there wasn’t a single hiccup! These people are good people and I recommend them to every bride!

ivet Events to plan our wedding. We booked the full-planning package. We were literally starting from scratch. We booked our venue that following week but Caitlyn assisted us with booking everything else and helped with the design of the ceremony as well as the itinerary. In less than a year, you put together memories that will last a lifetime. I would like to personally thank Joshua, Caitlyn (wedding coordinator), Jacob(videographer) and Michael (D.J.) for making this the best day of our lives. We are are so grateful that you all were part of our special day. You helped bring our vision to life and worked around our busy work schedules. It was absolutely perfect. It was a pleasure to meet and work with you all. Our wedding was an absolute dream come true. Despite the weather bringing our worst fears to life, the ceremony was everything we hoped it would be. All of the planning and coordination materialized in an unforgettable evening of celebration and a great number of memories that we will cherish. We’ve received nothing but compliments and praise from our loved ones. You have our honest and sincere thanks for pulling it all together into something that we will be talking about for years to come. We definitely would love to work with you guys in the future !!!!!! Forever Grateful, Sasha and Christopher

yn (photographer) made sure she knew what we wanted and got it done! Michael (DJ) was very helpful and made the night fun and memorable with the music! We really liked the convenience of having one company for both DJ and photographer, as it was much easier to keep organized and kept stress levels low! Thank you, Rivet Events! My only comment is that I wish they had more representation of non-traditional couples (LGBT and BIPOC). The forms they send are very traditional and I think some inclusivity and experience with non-traditional companies would make this company much more accessible and better overall!

vered during our engagement shoot and we are so excited to see the wedding pictures. On the day of she was extremely helpful and literally pitched in wherever she was needed. Our videographer Trent was literally a breath of fresh air. He definitely brought good vibes and great jokes to help with the stress of the day!!! I’m so happy we went with Rivet. We definitely plan to use them in the future.

s a completed wedding video. It appears our video project slipped through the cracks but the manager informed me a month ago when i called for an update, as it was already 3 weeks past the deadline they gave me of when we would receive it, that we would have the video in two weeks and he would be calling touch base each week. It’s been a month, we’ve now asked for a refund and they refuse and saying they’ll give us the video soon and won’t respond to emails/ calls. They sent over raw footage and the quality and layout of the incomplete portions we’ve been given is nothing like what we requested. By going with Rivet we now dont have our wedding day captured on video like we’d planned out with them and paid for. So disappointed in their management.

honestly wanted them to put their cameras down and join the wedding party. They were on time, very communicative, professional and just perfect. The only reason I wouldn’t hire them is because you won’t feel like the most beautiful person in the room when you see them - they are supermodels. Haha. Thank you for everything. Cannot wait to see the results of all your hard work!!

They both went above and Beyond with helping me though out the whole day weather it was if I needed help with my dress, getting me a drink, keeping me calm, help putting table and chairs away, changing my vendor times around to make sure things were kept on schedule and so much more ! Mikey and Emily were amazing and made my day EXACTLY how I imagined and dreamed my my wedding would be. I would 10000000% recommend Rivet events and especially Mikey and Emily. They both are so sweet and we’re a huge help !

roline did an AMAZING job with the photography and Jacob's videos were so beautiful and ABOVE what we were looking for! The end products for both really showed what a great day it was!! There aren't words to describe how happy we are with our wedding photos and videos!

our day rememberable. Mr &Mrs William Johnson III May 15 2021

They made taking pictures fun and enjoyable. They were the sweetest on our wedding day to not only take the best pictures but help anywhere else we needed them. Josh and his team were a dream to work with and truly made our wedding day perfect! We cannot say enough great things about Rivet Events!

est quality of pictures, but were still in our price range. We are so glad we splurged on pictures because they did not disappoint! Pictures are the part of the wedding day that we will be able to look back at one day in the future and share with our children and grandchildren. We wanted nothing but the best and I know we got it!!!! We cannot wait to see the rest of our pictures and especially our wedding video! Thank you so much Rivet Events team, we have already recommended you guys to our friends with upcoming weddings.

in the photo booth! Caroline was our photographer and she was super sweet and easygoing to work with. The fact that I got all of these services through one company and one contract made it that much easier for me to keep track of my wedding planning and vendors. The value that they provide for the cost is phenomenal and I would 10/10 recommend them to any and all brides!

d patient! She made everyone feel so comfortable. She did such a beautiful job capturing our wedding day! Thank you so much for everything!

The team did a great job of doing frequent check-ups and were helpful with any questions we had. Highly recommend them!

shua Whitehead is the owner and he was always checking in making sure everything was going smoothly which was appreciated. I would highly recommend them. They made my wedding day run smoothly especially during a pandemic and it meant the world. Thank you guys so much!

e went above and beyond for us in every way possible and was an absolute gem the entire time - it felt like we had a best friend there taking our pictures! The affordability of this company is what originally drew me to them but their photos, contact team, and the amount of overview they give each photo made me know I just HAD to lock them down!

things about them. I felt confident, comfortable, and relaxed around the photographers. our DJ was HILARIOUS and did such a great job keeping our guests lively and having a good time. He kept us laughing and on our toes all evening. Videographers were champs in all the RAIN during the ceremony (with or without an umbrella). We could tell they definitely didn't miss any of those important moments on camera. Overall, I just felt like they would've done anything we asked and it was so refreshing. While I cannot say that I remember every single moment of my wedding day, I absolutely do remember how fantastic everyone from Rivet Events made us feel on our big day. I will 110% be recommending and bragging on Rivet for years to come!

our dream wedding package. Caroline and Emma were our photographer and videographer, they are both fun,flexible and easy to work with. They very professional and excellent on what they do! Omg! the sneak peek pictures are gorgeous! Michael was our DJ, him too was very nice. He was a pleasure to work with. He helped us to make our own personalized song list and accommodated my last minute requests. Overall, we are satisfied and happy of their services. Even though we are dealing with the pandemic, they still made it so special. Thank you Rivet Events! Definitely we recommend them to any couple! Joy & Richie

e comfortable with your wedding planning. Josh, Caroline, and Josh W. put so much thought and care into not only the wedding, but my husband and I as individuals - they were with us every step of the way, from our engagement photoshoot all the way up until our wedding day. Their pricing was awesome for such great service, and they offered us discounts for booking early as well as bundling photography, videography, and DJ. I liked using the same company for all of my photo/video/music - there were no communication issues or any moments missed on our wedding day, which I feel is more likely to happen when you use different companies for these 3 services. Despite our wedding being affected by COVID-19 (March 14th, 2020 wedding day), everyone came together to help us out, and I will forever remember that! Seeing the smiles on the Rivet team members' faces throughout our wedding day brought me so much joy - they genuinely had fun working with us, seeing us get married, and celebrating with our friends and family. I have recommended Rivet Events to every single engaged friend I know who's looking for photography/videography/DJ services!

engaged couples anxious about the wedding planning process, and we are thrilled to recommend them. We especially enjoyed working with josh and the photographers who got to know us and anticipated our needs before we needed them. -Danny and Casey McQuaide

om Josh to tell me that he and another DJ (so sorry to not remember his name) would be filling in. They were perfect! Our guests are still talking about how great the music was. Maurice ran our photo booth which was a hit. All members from Rivet Events kept the energy level high, interacted with the guests and were incredibly professional. They all did an outstanding job. Josh was always great about checking in to make sure the planning process was going well every step of the way. I would recommend this company 10 times over to anyone looking for wedding/event entertainment!

h to making our Love Story to the day of the wedding with the entire team there. Josh was a detailed and comprehensive day of wedding coordinator. The entire month before we were in contact quit a bit and he was very helpful leading up to the big day as well as the big day. The photographers were awesome! They had fun and cute ideas for photos of getting ready and during our photos right after the ceremony. The videographer had great vision and execution for our Love Story and again recording video the day of the wedding. The team member who ran the photo booth was very kind and kept the party going by making the photo booth so much fun! We thought they were getting a steal for the bundle of all those services. We highly recommend Rivet Events for any special event and you will not regret it.

was very helpful to talk with Steve and get a better understanding of how things worked and let him know of some ideas I had. He did a great job with our scooter shots, we were impressed! We got the pictures back very quickly and would definitely recommend Rivet Events!

o fun to work with. She was kind and sweet and it made the whole picture taking process easy and comfortable. I would recommend them to anyone in the Atlanta area. I found them through The Knot and was afraid of trusting someone I never met, and a couple states away from me, but they assured me time and time again I made a wonderful choice in trusting them with the most important photos I’ll ever take! Thank you again Caroline! My husband and I are so excited to hang these pictures all over our home!

lp me and my husband for an awesome, wonderful, beautiful wedding day experience. Will always remember the day we got married and the people at Rivet Events who helped us make it even more memorable!!!

affordable everything was. I will definetly be recomending rivet events in the future to friends and family getting married.

had to worry about anything! It only took a month to get all of our all edited photos and they are absolutely beautiful! I just love looking through them with my now husband and family.

otography!

filming the event. I understand it’s “RAW” footage as we were told multiple times from the owner but I would think a professional video company would be able to capture important parts of the ceremony not just a couple clips here and there. They filmed more of the guest dancing then they did the ceremony. Also, they did not even get clips of my Grandmother or my wife’s grandmother walking down the aisle to be seated. Very sad work from the company. It’s sad when you watch your wedding video for the first time but you can barely see me or my wife because the camera was half blocked by my guest head the whole time. Why would a professional camera person place a camera filming a wedding right behind someone’s head? I could keep going on and on about the horrible experience. They even got my name wrong in the sneak peak video. Photography pictures were fine just missed a lot of opportunities of getting pictures of parents and me and my wife. We never got a picture of my wife and me with our parents. Photographer was super nice but missed a lot of photos that are typical wedding photos. If you are looking for a quality wedding event company that captures all of your important memories than use someone else.

Rivet Events definitely delivered 100 percent and more; from the DJ who was rocking the dance floor and keeping the party happening, to the photo booth that was full non stop the entire event, this will definitely be in my memory as a guest at my best friend's wedding for many, many years to come!

people and great service! 10/10 recommend!!!

ious. This wedding will be very memorable and my friend, the bride, has already shared that she would recommend Rivet Events to anyone looking to plan their wedding. They did a fantastic job!

ght long. I still have guests telling me how fun our wedding was! Caroline did our photography and even though I haven't seen our wedding shots yet, I have seen what she can do with out engagement photos and I can't wait to see out wedding photos. Micaiah was our videographer and he is, hands down, a genius. I don't know how he did it, but he managed to turn a 2 hour Love Story interview into the most amazing 4 minute clip. I cried for the first 5 times I watched it! I also had the pleasure to work with Vincent, who worked our photo booth. He was the nicest guy and kept the excitement going while taking the photos and keeping up with the photo guest book. If you want a one-stop-shop with amazing quality and professionalism for your special day, this is the company to go to. I couldn't have been happier with the team!

ey were professional from beginning to end and made all three events extremely memorable and from the comments I received, I believe the other guests felt the same way :)

sion such a fun and memorable one. I love our photos that she took for us so much they are framed all over our house. Josh was our videographer and did such an awesome job on our video, he captured the perfect moments for us to be able to look back and relive our fairy tail. I love being able to watch that video and get all the emotions I had on my big day. Our dj Haron provided such an outstanding experience, he had such a great way of keeping the audience engaged the whole time with his energy. He was very professional and engaging, and was so great with interacting with the crowd. I can tell you that going with Rivet was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I had people coming up and telling me how much fun they had at my wedding and how it was the best reception they have attended. I can guarantee you if you go with Rivets incredible talented team you will not be disappointed.

photo booth was an absolute hit and I'm glad I changed my mind about getting them to do it. Absolutely zero complaimts.

er. I would recommend Rivet Events 100x!!
