Rivet's portal and documentation made planning the photo aspect of our wedding a breeze! We couldn't have been paired with a better photographer than Jessi, she made us so comfortable and had a blast with us for our engagement shoot and during our ceremony/reception. We've seen our sneak peek shots while they're finishing the rest of our pictures and they're breathtaking! I couldn't imagine having worked with anyone else, I'd recommend them in an instant.

We had SO much fun at our wedding thanks to DJ Estebon Watson. We sourced him through Rivet Events, and I’m so happy we did! Music and our dance floor was really important to us, and he did an amazing job keeping the party alive and reading the room. We got so many compliments from our guests about how fun he was. We had a saxophonist pairing and the two of them were phenomenal together. Don’t hesitate to book him!
We used Shaun for our photobooth and he was a hit! Thanks so much Shaun!
We used Rivet events for some other services that were of an average experience. Proactive communication could be improved with some of the services as I felt like we were never reached out to initially and we were the ones trying to adhere to the project plan. However, do not hesitate to book them for your entertainment!! We love Estebon and Shaun!

We had an amazing experience with Rivet Events for our wedding on February 1, 2025, at Chota Events.
Brooke, our photographer, was a joy to work with and made us feel completely comfortable throughout the day. We can’t wait to see all the beautiful moments she captured.
Estebon, our DJ, was incredible! He kept the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long, playing the perfect mix of music. Everyone had an absolute blast.
Matthew, our videographer, was professional and made sure to capture every important moment without being intrusive. We’re so excited to see the video!
The photo booth was also a huge hit with our guests, adding a fun touch to the celebration.
Rivet Events truly helped make our wedding day more than we could’ve imagined. The team was professional, talented, and seamless throughout the day. We highly recommend them for any event!

Rivet events was the best decision we made to help make our special day memorable! Crystal was the best coordinator I could have asked for, my goal was to not have to worry about anything the day of our wedding. And that was definitely the case, she kept it going so smooth and seemless even with sick members of the bridal party. We had an amazing photo Booth set up and Jessi was an amazing photographer who captured all the special moments, and was so patient and attentive to what we wanted. Estebon was the life of the party! He was so great at reading the room and know how to keep everything going. We had a large mix of ages and music tastes and everyone ended up on the dance floor at least once. As the night winded down, he was able to give us a super sweet last dance with just the two of us.
Rivet events is definitely a team that knows what they are doing and work together so we'll. They definitely gave us a day we will never forget, and I don't think we could have done it without them.

Our photographer had little to no wedding experience. The company misrepresented who they were and how many photographs they employ. Acted as if they are a family owned and operated business with a decade of experience. We had a twenty something year old photographer with no meaningful wedding experience capture our day . The over all experience was poor and the quality of the photos are hugely disappointing. The photos are completely amateur, it is as if we asked a friend with no experience to photograph our wedding for free. Sadly we will never get a redo or be able to capture the moments of that day again.

Hi Betsy,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We truly value every client’s experience a...
nd are disheartened to hear about your disappointment, especially after working closely with you to address concerns throughout the process.
First and foremost, we want to address your comments about our photographer, Maddy. Maddy has captured over 100 weddings and is one of our most highly-reviewed team members from 2024. Here are a few examples of the kind words clients have shared about her:
Review 1: https://maps.app.goo.gl/oVZusjs6Gn3Uz46y9
Review 2: https://maps.app.goo.gl/UVnmxuQJnbTVB3BC6
Review 3: https://maps.app.goo.gl/H9PjBhSjM8eqTPzu7
It’s disappointing that rather than working with us on a solution to any dissatisfaction, much of the feedback seemed directed unfairly at Maddy personally. We stand by her professionalism, dedication, and talent and regret that her efforts were overshadowed by your frustrations.
Regarding your concerns about the backgrounds in your photos, such as dead foliage or visible parking lots, we understand how important these details are. While we aim to minimize environmental distractions during a shoot, natural elements like fallen leaves during a fall wedding are often unavoidable. That said, we offer retouching services to address specific requests, such as removing objects from photos, which is outlined in our contract. Unfortunately, we didn’t receive any specific requests for these edits.
We’d also like to highlight that, after adjustments to your sneak peek images, you expressed the following on November 15th:
"The new sneak peek is not only exactly what we needed and wanted but it could not have been handled more efficiently. We are SO pleased and over the moon with our pictures."
Your kind words at that time meant so much to us, which made it even more surprising to see your review without any direct communication about dissatisfaction with the final album. We reached out to you via email, phone, and text to better understand your concerns and find a solution, but we weren’t given the opportunity to resolve the situation. Our efforts and communications with you throughout this process can be viewed here: Betsy Communication Log - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1645Ej1ZA82u9bcCO56TzTbPwNklTr_jQU3WxM2LJ87E/edit?usp=sharing
Our small family business has been fortunate to capture over 1,200 weddings, and we are proud of the memories we help create for our clients. Your final album can be viewed here: Betsy & Shane’s Album - https://rivetevents.pixieset.com/betsyandshanefullgallerylewallenfarms/
We encourage anyone reading this to review the images and judge for themselves.
We genuinely regret that we couldn’t meet your expectations and hope your wedding day remains a cherished memory despite these challenges. If you’re open to further discussion, we’d still love the opportunity to make things right.

We did a package deal that included two photographers, a dj and a photo booth. The communication between each person was great. They reached out to us early to schedule meetings and was always present and made sure our day was special. We loved both of the photographers we had. It was comfortable to be around them during our photos and they gave great suggestions for poses for both the brides and with our bride folks.
Our DJ was phenomenal, I loved the energy he carried. He was completely prepared with his own setup that included lights and special effects for the dance floor. He looked at our playlist and really made it special with his edits.
The photo booth was great! A little smaller than expected but it was wonderful. It came with all the props and the people running it was super polite.
I'd definitely recommend this vendor. And personally will more than likely used them for events in the future.

We planned our small wedding celebration in less than a month and used Rivet Events for their photography and videography services. From the very beginning, the team was incredibly accommodating and easy to work with. They understood our needs and were flexible with our timeline, making the whole process so much easier. Bailey was our photographer and Bee was our videographer on the day of the event. We would recommend them both in a heartbeat! They both showed up fully prepared and were nothing but professional. They blended seamlessly into the celebration, capturing every moment and being happy to take any additional pictures we mentioned. They really were such a pleasure to work with and I cannot wait to see the final photos and videos that were captured.
One thing I would change looking back is that I really really wish I also used Rivet Event’s planning services as well. Planning a celebration, regardless of how small, on a tight timeline was very stressful, and based on the services we did use with them, their planning services would have been very helpful.
If you're looking for a photography and videography team that's talented, reliable, and professional, we highly recommend them. They went above and beyond our expectations, making our day even more memorable.

Rivet Events was nothing but fantastic! We chose a package (video, DJ and photo booth) and let me tell you they knocked it out of the park! A huge shout out to the whole team as we have a power outage, and everyone came together to make everything still as magical! Estebon with rivet was above and beyond and deserves a massive raise for what he did for us! would recommend rivet to anyone and everyone! Great job all around to Rivet!

I found Rivet Events from the Payne Corley House. They’re a preferred vendor which helped me feel more confident with working with them. They already have the experience and familiarity working on-site and communicating with Hope - our venue coordinator.
I got a package set with Joshua (coordinating) , Jeremy (Photographer), Claude (DJ/MC) , and Photo Booth. They helped make the whole process easy. They communicate so well and they came up with the best case itinerary. They were optimistic and personable. I had so much fun meeting them all in person and they made our wedding day so easy and stress free. I highly recommend anyone to work with Rivet Events!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Matthew and Bee with Rivet Events for our wedding. Although we’re eagerly awaiting the final photos and video, I had to share how incredible the experience has been so far. From the moment we booked them, their communication was impeccable, making the entire process stress-free. They were responsive, professional, and genuinely excited about being a part of our big day.
On the day of our wedding, they exceeded every expectation. They worked seamlessly with our entire team, capturing moments that we know will be unforgettable without ever feeling intrusive. Matthew and Bee both had such a calming presence, which helped us feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera.
If you’re looking for a team that will bring out the best in your day and make you feel like the star of the show, consider Rivet Events. We can’t wait to see the full magic they captured!

From the start the company was very responsive and answered our request quickly. The zoom meeting (don’t know if it was zoom) was a great way to start in getting to know who we were working with. Our photographers took amazing engagement photos and were easy to communicate with. DJ3 was the ultimate hype person! He started the party strong and kept it going throughout!!! Will use this company again for events and recommend everyone else does as well.

From the Groom:
Finding the right photographer and coordinator for our wedding felt daunting, especially after struggling with communication issues from other options. But when we connected with Josh at Rivet, everything changed. His enthusiasm and expertise made the planning process a breeze. Even though we weren’t initially looking for a coordinator, Josh’s team proved indispensable. Their meticulous planning and readiness ensured our day flowed perfectly.
Matthew and Jessi, our photographers, were exceptional. They adapted to changing weather conditions with grace and captured every moment beautifully. Their guidance helped me stay calm and focused, which meant the world to me.
Crystal, who stepped in for day-of coordination, was a true lifesaver. Her attentiveness to timing and her care for our well-being, including making sure we were fed and hydrated, were deeply appreciated.
Rivet gave us the priceless gift of being fully present on our special day. We’re grateful for the beautiful photos and the incredible support from their team. Thank you, Josh, Crystal, Matthew, and Jessi, for making our wedding unforgettable.
From the Bride:
Planning a wedding from afar was overwhelming, but Rivet made it manageable. Josh’s genuine care and clear communication were a relief during a stressful time. We opted for both photography and day-of coordination, and Rivet exceeded our expectations.
Despite my best efforts to plan every detail, I found myself overwhelmed on the day. Rivet’s team was patient and attentive, taking care of everything so we could focus on each other and our loved ones. Their seamless handling of our day and their thoughtful support made a world of difference.
If you’re considering a wedding team, Rivet is a must. They turned our day into something truly special, and we can’t thank them enough.

Her work was excellent, and I love how she was able to capture the memories of our special day!

The main reason for wanting to hire a videographer was so my Aunt Esther could see our wedding, as she was too ill to attend in person. We had the pleasure of showing her all of the videos and getting to live in that moment again, but with her. Our Aunt has passed recently, and while it is a sad moment for us, we find so much joy in the moments we shared from our wedding with her. Matthew Mckenzie made that moment possible for us all. He took time with us and made sure he had a good understanding of how we wanted our wedding day story told. He absolutely exceeded all the expectations we had.
A huge thank you to Matthew Mckenzie and the whole Rivet Events team, for your outstanding attention to detail, communication, and the true care and compassion shown to not only myself and my wife, but to our whole family as well. You will always be an important part of such an important memory to us. We plan to work with you all for all of our big family moments going forward.

I could not be happier with my decision to book Rivet Events for our wedding ! Truly from start to finish , it has been a very smooth process . Josh did a great job communicating with me the entire time and was always so kind . There were a few minor things that needed to be changed and he was eager to make sure that he handled them quickly. He went out of his way to make sure we were happy with everything . He even reached out the day after our wedding to see how everything went ! I really appreciated all of his efforts . We chose to do our engagement photos with them and we absolutely love the photos! Jessi was our photographer for these as well as our wedding night . She made the engagement session a comfortable experience for us . She was super kind throughout the process as well . Jessi and Matthew were our photographers for the day of our wedding and they were incredibly professional the entire day. I loved that there was an option to have TWO photographers for our wedding . They were always close and checked on us throughout the night ! I highly recommend using Rivet Events for your wedding / engagement photos ! They have so many options to accommodate your wedding needs and the pricing is very affordable . I cannot wait to get our photos back ! I have already been so impressed with this company and I know they will deliver . If you are able to snag Jessi , I highly recommend her as well ! A wonderful experience overall .

I cannot recommend them more for their day of coordinating service. Our coordinator, Asha, was a life saver and did so much to make our day run with ease. We also got the photobooth and my only nitpick is that we needed the camera a little further back so we could fit more people in the photos, it was very popular among our guests.

She was so easy to work with and flexible as we refined our photo package throughout the planning process. Day of she was professional, efficient, and so wonderful to all of our guests and wedding party. She really brought even more joy to the occasion!
I also can’t say enough about the end results. Our photos are gorgeous and so many touching moments were captured. We are thrilled to be able to treasure them with beautiful photos! She was also amazing during my indecisive bouts regarding editing. She really worked to get the photos looking how I wanted and absolutely delivered. Absolutely recommend!!

Rivet Events was incredible!!! Their prices are extremely reasonable. I searched and interviewed over 15 photography and videography companies, djs, and Rivet Events was extremely affordable but they did an INCREDIBLE job. They were attentative the whole time. We did our engagement shoot, photography, videography and DJ with them.
I absolutely loved the photographer, Maddy. She was super sweet and understood what we wanted from the shoots. She also helped with posing. The pictures look incredible. The videographer was also fantastic and the footage
The dj was awesome. We requested a Spanish speaker to help translate the toasts and without practice, he absolutely nailed it! He was also able to change the music based on what people enjoyed and did a great mix of Hispanic music and pop.
I would HIGHLY recommend Rivet Events to anyone!

We couldn’t have asked for a better company to plan our 12 year vow renewal. From the moment we met with Joshua the owner he made us feel that Rivet Events was the best choice. I wasn’t sure what things we needed but the Rivet Events team was so organized and made finding vendors and communicating with them a breeze. Our wedding coordinator Sammy brought our vision to life, he was responsive, attentive, accommodating and easy to work with. Even when I was stressing out on the big day he managed to calm my nerves and made me feel at ease. Everyone that was part of the team our photographers, videographers, DJ, Photo Booth attendant all did an amazing job, we had so much fun. The most I have danced in my life.

Rivet event really blew us away! What a pleasure it was to work with them! We booked photography and dj services initially but decided to add videography a month before the wedding and Josh did not hesitate and was able to accommodate us. We loved the convenience of being able to book several vendors from the same company it really took a lot of the stress away. We want to thank Sammy our dj for making our wedding a complete success! Josh could have not paired us with a better dj. Sammy had my Cuban family dancing all night and did an amazing job with the music. We cannot thank him enough for his hard work before, during, and after the wedding! We also want to give Matt and Jess a shout out, our photographer and videographer. They did an amazing job making us feel comfortable and capturing the most breathtaking images and videos. We were pressed for time however they managed to take the stress away and capture every moment! We are truly thankful for Rivet event, we could not have chosen a better vendor!

My husband and I had Jessi as our photographer and Johnny as our videographer. They both did so amazing and were so kind throughout the whole process. Nothing on went according to plan on our wedding day. Lol There was rain and other obstacles but it ended up being perfect and they captured it all. We are so happy to have these pictures and our video! ❤️

We worked with Joshua and explained what we were looking for as far as pictures and videos: (more artistic and night pictures) Matt did our pictures and Kendrick did our video and all I can say is they made it so fun!!!! Our guest loved them and from the sneak peeks I’m so in love! Josh paired us perfectly and was so responsive with questions we had and still have! We went with them based off review I read and I’m not disappointed in our choice! I can not wait to see more pictures and the video!

We used Rivet Events for our wedding back in March and they were absolutely incredible. We used their video and photo services and Brooke and Caroline were amazing. They were so kind and calm the entire day. We even called Josh at one point when we thought our DJ fell through 2 weeks before our wedding and he got us a back up DJ just in case. Truly felt like we were working with family. Thank you Rivet Events!!!

Words can not describe how amazing the staff was on our big day. They made up for any administrative hiccups we had along the way prior to our big day. We booked a photographer, videographer, DJ, photo booth, and day of coordinator. They all were amazing, polite and easy to work with. I highly recommend for all your wedding needs.

I booked the full diamond package with Rivet. There were parts of the service that were good, mainly the wedding planner I absolutely adored Laurianna. Some of the smaller services like Photo Booth, and DJ were also good. I would say if I was reviewing the people I worked with I would have a higher review to give, but I am reviewing the company I hired.
Josh over promises and under delivers. I had three main issue with Rivet that I will highlight in this review.
1. From the start I was given a wedding planner, who then left Rivet and I was not informed of this for weeks; I found out because vendors started to contact me directly. Once vendors started to contact me I reached out to Josh and when we finally did have a call about the issue the whole time it just felt like Josh was making up excuses, he did tell me that I would get assigned another wedding planner, but the lack of communication for weeks was never addressed.
2. I then had a delay with my Love Story video, the video was not delivered to me within the promised time frame, I raised this issue, and back then I was assured it was a one off issue. I stressed my worry that the same would happen to my wedding video and how I wanted to avoid that stress. Once again excuses were given but the lack of communication was never addressed.
3.Now the same is happening with my actual wedding video, and the situation is getting worse and worse. My contract states "4. PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEOGRAPHY DEADLINES. Deadlines for Photography and Videography are 6 - 8 weeks outside of peak season. Peak seasons are May, June, September, and October. During peak season deadlines are 6 -
10 weeks." My wedding was in November so outside of peak season as per the contract. It has been 13 weeks since my wedding, at the 8 week mark I reached out to Josh for an update on the video I was then told my videos were not done and given a "we are updating our timelines" excuse. I then emailed again about my teaser that I had not received and was asked for a phone call by Josh. During that phone call Josh told me my videographer had marked the teaser portion of my project as done and he didn't know it had not been and this had uncovered a bigger issue and that employee was no longer with Rivet. I then asked him when I could expect my videos after this and he told me 1/27. 1/27 came and I did not receive the videos or an update so I reached out again and didn't hear back for a little while. I had another call with Josh that week on 2/3 and I was then told portion of my videos were missing and they now had them and I would have the videos by that Monday 2/6, it is now a week and a half later and once again I have no video and no update what so ever from Josh.
In every issue it took me raising it, even with an issue such as a due date being missed. To me a due date being missed should be something the owner is aware of and reaches out to the client to explain and reassure them before it's an issue. Overall I booked with Rivet for the peace of mind that this was a company and I wouldn't have to constantly chase down answers and this has been anything but true. I leave every phone call with Josh feeling like 100 excuses were given, an apology is expected to make the whole situation better and having a new timeline that then is also not stuck to.

Thank you to the Rivet Events team for capturing great memories for us that will last forever. Thank you to Brooke, Michael, Savannah, and Joe for their hard work and for being patient with us from the beginning. Also, thank you to Joshua for managing the entire project, who was always there if we needed something. As for our engagement photos, a huge thank you to Brooke, who worked around our busy schedules to capture every little detail. When we received a sneak peek at those photos, we realized that we had made the right choice. We’re so lucky to have such great pictures of our wedding. After searching for the perfect wedding photographer and videographer, we came across Rivet Events at the Georgia Bridal show at Gas South Arena where the team greeted us with smiles and their awesome personalities. At first, we were a bit hesitant because we had no idea the price professional photography and videography was going to cost us. However, we now see that having photos and video that last a lifetime was worth every penny as we will show our children and grandchildren this magical day. You all captured a perfect day and it was a pleasure to have you all as a part of it. The day of the wedding was so surreal that the team did a great job blending in with the environment. Once again, thank you so much for the beautiful photographs as they tell the story in a way that words can’t. Everything came out fantastic and we cannot thank you enough! We will be sure to recommend Rivet Events anytime any friends or family mention a wedding in their future.

I booked rivet events for photography and videography for my wedding. Caroline did a great job with my photography. However, I was extremely disappointed in the videography. I had booked two videographers so that the whole day could be captured. They completely missed ALL footage of the girls including footage of my mom and I which was extremely important to me. Not only that but the first video I received was the complete opposite of what I asked for. They fixed it and the second video was much better but still not close to what I had sent as my “inspiration.” I’m extremely disappointed as this is a day I will never get back with my mom and after expressing this concern of missing footage, I got ghosted. I’m missing all of this special footage and they did not try to make it better in any way. Whatever you do DO NOT BOOK THEIR VIDEOGRAPHY SERVICES!!!
Update: After writing the review the owner reached out to me and said he was going to make things right and that there had been an emergency with the person I was initially communicating with. However, a month after he initially said he "would be following up with me next week" I still have not heard anything.

Hi Alaina,
We greatly apologize for your experience here. We want to make sure our coupl...
es feel as though we delivered on our promises, and we’re so sorry that you feel like we dropped the ball.
As mentioned, the person you were trying to get in touch with suffered a life-threatening medical emergency and did not continue with Rivet following this event. When we were alerted of this mishap, we did not ghost you - Instead, we tried to get in touch with you multiple times to do everything we could to alleviate your concerns.
We were in discussion of a partial refund for your second videographer, as well as a free wedding album to try to alleviate the issues of miscommunication and missed moments. Unfortunately, we did not hear from you following this outreach on our part.

Our photographer Jeremy exceeded our expectations. He was very kind, patient, and professional and worked around our busy schedules. He took the time to make sure we had a plan in place for the wedding day so we didn’t have to do any thinking and could just enjoy the day! The photos and editing are bright, warm, timeless, and stunning. He did a great job capturing us in natural moments of joy and we are so grateful to have such incredible photos at an affordable price.

I am so glad that we hired Rivet Events as our wedding photographer!!! Our photographers name was Ash, and she was amazing!! She was so sweet and professional, and more importantly, made us feel comfortable behind her camera. She initially introduced herself via Slack and then we had a long phone call going over all the details of the day! She asked a lot of questions and took notes about exactly what we wanted. She then sent everything back to me in google docs so I could verify everything. The actual wedding day she was prompt and ready to shoot! We were so happy with how our wedding pictures came out, she caught every moment. I especially love the dancing pictures - it captures all our guests and how happy everyone was! I would recommend Ash with Rivet Events over and over!

Videography service - Videographer: Kidd. In reviewing (again) other bride's experiences with Rivet Events, I'm not sure who they were working with. I typically am not one to leave a review, but felt it was imperative to give future possible clients an honest review of my experience.
In short, you get what you pay for. Bride to bride(s), I would *highly* suggest to look elsewhere and save yourself the headache. If a wedding video is important to you to look back on and remember your very special day, this is not the company you want to move forward with. From the moment I signed with Rivet Events, I had an uneasy feeling about this vendor. It was poor communication from the start and the videographer, Kidd, was LATE to our wedding. He missed every shot, so he had me and my bridal party redo & reposition repetitively to recreate poses - brides, keep in mind, when you're wearing a heavy dress and veil ALL DAY, you depend on your videographer to be attentive and follow the photographer's lead so you DON'T have to do this. When discussing with Kidd my "vision", I tried to remain positive in thinking he would have experience working in the wedding industry and being a creative. To my dismay, I learned quickly after the first revision that was not the case. We received our "finalized" video in November - our wedding was in August due to SEVEN revisions. Seven revisions. He failed to include contents from cake cutting, the moment we said "I do", first kiss, private shoots between me and my husband, etc - important moments from our wedding. Instead, he chose to use insignificant scenes, such as a random "Mr and Mrs" sign at the reception that was unknowingly hung up by our coordinator. Moreover, he didn't get footage of the wedding ceremony or reception venue.
I had to ask Kidd to include shots of me and my husband together...?
Transitions were awkward, synchronization with music was awful (after the third or fourth revision, I gave up on this lol) - there were so many times I had to ask him why he decided "X" was worth putting in the video, instead of trimming and putting something else of more significance? My main point is, if you hire a "wedding" videographer, and he misses shooting the ceremony and reception venue, the first kiss, the bride and husband shoot, is this the company you want to trust to hire? Luckily, our photographer was able to capture and deliver those moments for us so we do have pictures to look back on. If I could go back, I would have splurged a little bit more on a decent, professional and more reliable video company. It is so embarrassingly bad, I will not be posting on social media.

Hi Christine - We greatly apologize that this was your experience with Rivet Events. We pr...
ide ourselves on providing the best experiences possible for our couples.
We wanted to follow up on this feedback. During our initial discussions, you had never requested any specific moments. Regardless of this, we did have raw footage of all of the big moments from your wedding day, so our team gladly included all the shots you requested.
The seven revisions mentioned were due to the fact that there was never a comprehensive email requesting specific moments - It was a series of messages that were requested at different times which we were happy to change. So, we’d change one thing, and then we’d receive an additional follow-up message requesting something else be done. Once this was finalized, our team followed up multiple times prior to when this review was left to ensure that you received exactly what you were looking for with no response, and then again after this review was left to see if there was anything more we could do to rectify it. We never heard back.

I had the BEST experience with Rivet Events! From start to finish they were helpful, professional, compassionate, and just amazing. Matt and Ash were our photographers and the amount of stress they relieved on our wedding day was incredible. They went above and beyond in every way possible, checking in on us and asking if we needed anything when it wasn’t their responsibility. Matt and Joshua were who I was in contact with the whole time and they were both so responsive and accommodating!! In addition to the extraordinary service we received, Matt got us our sneak peeks back so fast!! We had a cloudy, rainy, cold day for our wedding but Matt comforted us during our disappointment with the weather and worked his magic with our pictures. I absolutely 1000/10 recommend Rivet Events!!!

We enjoyed our experiences with Rivet Events! They were very communicative and responsive when we had questions. The process was smooth and easy, I didn’t have to worry about whether or not we had chose the right videographer for our Wedding because of how professional they were. Daniel was our videographer and he was super sweet! We are super excited to see the final results! Thank you Rivet Events, specifically Joshua and Daniel, for making our Wedding amazing!

Rivet's team absolutely blew us away. The photographer, DJ, and photo booth operator were excellent to work with. Our engagement and wedding photos were a blast, and the photographer made us feel super comfortable throughout the process. The DJ navigated adjustments and roadblocks well, and had all of our guests dancing all night. Highly recommend the photo booth too! Great way to buy time while the wedding party does photos. Everyone was flexible, accommodating, and professional.
We were absolutely delighted with Rivet and recommend them wholeheartedly to any couples!

Rivet events were for sure the perfect team for our wedding day! I picked vendors based on quality of work AND personality/ ease to work with. Needless to say, they exceeded my expectations and focused on all the things I cared about. DJ Sammy had the crowed pumped up the whole time! Our videographer, Daniel, was fantastic and getting creative but classic shots! And Tim & Jay were everywhere I looked taking pictures of every moment. Amazing team for an amazing day!

We used Rivet Events for their videography services for our wedding! Overall, we had a wonderful experience and the videography on the day ran very smoothly! The videographer they assigned for my wedding was super nice and accommodating and made sure that every detail that I wanted to include in my video was included by the end of the night! Over the months, communication was pretty good overall however at times they were a little slow in getting back to me. That being said, I highly recommend using Rivet Events for your videography needs!

I really really wish that I could recommend Rivet Events, due to the friendliness, professionalism, and responsiveness of the owner Joshua. He clearly cares about his customers. Unfortunately, these characteristics do not extend to all of his employees.
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.
response 01/07/2024
Hi Kristen - We greatly apologize for this. We understand how important communication is, ...
and we feel terribly that we dropped the ball for you here. Joseph is no longer with our company, as we are committed to providing a truly stress free experience for our couples.
Plus, we’ve added an Account Manager to each of the weddings so that we can avoid this issue in the future. We completely understand why you went in a different direction, but we now have processes in place to ensure this never happens to our couples again.

Rivet Events made my wedding day the most perfect, wonderful, and amazing day. Brooke, our photographer, took beautiful engagement photos and was quick in sending us our beautiful sneak peak photos (example below!). Our DJ, Dithson, had the dance 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!!
