I used Weddings by Carue as my vendor for photobooth, DJ, and Photography! Carissa helped me get every vendor together on 1 plan and made my life so much easier while wedding plann...
ing. Kris my DJ was wonderful to work with along with my photobooth attendant Ashley and then my photographer was amazing and flexible on everything the day of. Couldn't recommend their services enough if you are planning your big day! :)
I highly recommend Carissa and her team at Weddings By Carue! She was always quick respond to any question throughout the planning process and made sure to send out reminders when ...
deadlines were approaching. The resources she has on her website for her brides make planning simple! My husband and I purchased the photo/video package along with the DJ - we LOVED our team. Our photographer & videographer were especially fun to work with (we were surprised with 14 inches of snow on our wedding day) and stayed positive/reassuring the entire day. Definitely book Weddings by Carue!
As a scrapbooker and lover of photo booths (they really are so much fun), I really wanted a photobooth as part of the big day. Specifically, I wanted 1) multiple prints available f...
or guests to take home as favor (e.g. if there were 5 people in the photo, 5 prints were made); 2) physical prints AND digital prints; 3) ability to make my own design/backdrop with fun props included; and 4) a scrapbook where guests could put one of their prints into a big and sign it. I know… there are alot of requirements! I reached out to SO many companies to find a company that satisfied all of these points. Weddings by Carue had the perfect photobooth for us to use for 3 hours along with the best price/value. I coordinated with Ashley doing the majority of the process, and she was truly fantastic. I was often a forgetful bride, so I forgot to answer some of her emails when work got busy. She remained extremely patient, kind, and always very responsive, tailoring the photo print design to exactly what we wanted! On the day, the guests had so much fun and the attendants were so helpful in bringing joy, laughter, and love to our special day. Highly recommend this photobooth company for your photobooth needs- they won't disappoint!
We initially choose Mrs. Kruse based on the 5 star reviews here and our promise-filled (by her) discussions. In the 2 years of our contract, the videographers [work] that I fell in...
love with left during the pandemic, yet I was assured that I would be getting my vision and everything we had discussed. Fast forward to months before our wedding and she couldn't tell me who she was going to send as our videographer. She said she was still trying to find someone! Obviously scrambling, she ended up sending us a lady named Karlee Ihde who, if you visit her website/socials, specializes in family and senior portraits and engagement shoots, NOT wedding videography. I also paid for a drone, which the resort required them to get a permit for and she said she'd take care of. The week before our wedding, I asked her about it, but she never requested one, and lied to me and said the resort didn't have enough to give out for those dates. I confirmed with the resort that she was lying. She also won't refund me for it. What kind of person doesn't refund for something they never provided?
I discussed with both Carissa and Karlee that after our dinner reception be filmed where we went to the resort's speakeasy to dance and celebrate. Karlee left before my husband and I arrived. We had told everyone, including Karlee, we would be going back to our room to change clothes and then be right over, which we did and were. So, we have no footage of us dancing and celebrating, which is a big deal!
As far as the video, promised delivery was 8-12 weeks. I took 16 weeks and 5 days and it looks like an amateur made it! There are orbs and reflections of fire and lights floating throughout the night sky shots. Things are blurry when they shouldn't be, the camera lens fogged up in most of the beach shots, panning was very fast and jerky, and worst of all was any light, whether indoors or out, was flickering or rapidly flashing AND our entire dinner reception has a loud buzzing sound! The buzzing sound and light issue was not at the event, either, it was her equipment! It was also promised to be as close to 10 mins long, but it was only 8 and ended abruptly. It was NOTHING like we had discussed or what was promised.
Through all of our communications I kept getting the runaround. It was always some excuse or another, and I had to initiate everything, otherwise I was in the dark. Her responses were always 4 days to 2 weeks later and a few times, not at all! There's just no excuse for this kind of unprofessionalism. I tried to discuss this and more with Mrs. Kruse through a Zoom meeting, which took me months (yes, months) to acquire (b/c she was "unexpectedly out of the office" while we were waiting for our video to be delivered), but she then canceled the day of without reason or apology or the decency to reschedule. I expressed to her when scheduling the Zoom meeting that this was a matter beyond email or a phone call and needed to be done face-to-face since we can't meet in person (we live in different cities). I also expressed this to her once again after she so blatantly and rudely canceled, but she would only allow me to address any questions/concerns through email. Her actions are cowardly; she hides behind her emails.
Not only did she ruin part of our wedding experience and one of the most important days of our lives, but we lost a huge amount of money in the process. Every time we see the video or talk about it we get sad and I get angry and stressed.
I cannot begin to tell you how amazing Weddings by Carue + Video was for our wedding. Our package included engagement photos, two photographers for our wedding, a videographer, a ...
photo booth, and so so much more. Carissa is absolutely amazing at what she does and we could not have picked a better vendor to help capture the best day ever! Everyone we interacted with on Carissa's team was professional, communicative, and listened to what we were wanting without any hesitation! I cannot recommend them enough!!!
The BEST of the best! From the first moment that we exchanged emails, then calls, I knew we would be hiring Carissa and her team to be part of our wedding. We hired them for photog...
raphy, videography and to be our DJ for ceremony and reception. We absolutely love our photos and are videos! Make sure to take a few sunset photos as these are our favorite. And our DJ was amazing as well! The guests had such a great time.
Living a few hours away, Carissa helped me along the way giving me advice and resources. She always made time in her schedule to talk and help me when I got stuck. We did not do a first look and she helped me figure out the timeline to ensure we captured everything important to us. Her service is a 10/10!!!
DREAM TEAM!!! I loved having multiple services with one company. Carissa and her team were a pleasure to work with and we loved having them around with us on our wedding day. The ...

Our pictures turned out great! My only issue with them is that I specifically picked a photographer after looking at her portfolio, and was told that I was booked with her, but the...
day of my wedding found out that someone else was coming in her place. No reason or explanation, so that was frustrating. But luckily, the back up photographer did an amazing job!

While our photographer Andrea had a great personality and ensured our wedding party was relaxed, she seriously lacked in detail orientation and communication- as did the owner Cari...
ssa.
Our emails often went unanswered for days and even weeks until my husband would call to inquire about the delay. We got a generic questionaire 6 weeks before our wedding but did not get any follow up from Carissa or Andrea until we called and emailed them about 2-3 weeks before the wedding.
We had created a Pinterest board for engagement photos and shared the board with Andrea but we felt that she did not look at them. The same thing happened on our wedding, even though we had voiced our concerns to Carissa and Andrea.
We did not hear from Andrea until the morning of the wedding. She had not returned any calls or emails which left me feeling extremely uneasy.
I spent a good amount of money for extremely sub par service.
Weddings By Carue was absolutely amazing!!! WOW...we LOVE our photos and video. They are better than we could have imagined. They helped us plan our timeline too. Our invitations w...

Love, love, love!
We used Weddings by Carue for our engagement photography, wedding photography, photobooth (also stationary, see them for this too!)
I must say that I loved every...
thing about our experience with this team. Our photographer was Eric & he was a blast! He was really receptive to all of the unique ideas & requests that I had throughout the engagement session as well as on our wedding day.
I do have to mention that we had a bit of snafoo with photography of the day of the wedding. We had paid for 2 photographers for the day & only 1 (Eric) had showed up. Once we realized that the other one wasn't coming/ wasn't alerted he was quick to fix the issue for us. He got on the phone & made sure it was all sorted out ASAP. He did great even for just 1 photographer & they made sure to give me plenty of options in terms of compensating for the error. It was handled something that could have gone horribly wrong & it was handled very well both on the day of & after!
Last but not least the photo booth... love! We were able to choose the design for our strips & since they did our stationary for the rest of our wedding, we were able to keep all of the same colors & themes as the rest of the wedding. Even when I wanted to make changes last minute, they were quick to cater to my request & made it perfect! The staff that came to the wedding were happy & helpful! The props were great & we even got a scrapbook of all of the photos that our guests took!
All in all, I love Weddings by Carue & cannot rave about them enough!
We used Weddings By Carue for our engagement photos and wedding photography. They were so easy going and we had so much fun! They were very innovative and took creative shots. I ...
loved the candid photos and would highly recommend Weddings By Carue to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.
