Meadowbrook Reception Center was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the moment we booked with them, Chuck, Carole, and Bethany were incredibly helpful and responsive, always getting back to us quickly with any questions we had. The space itself was absolutely beautiful, and the decorations they provided were stunning. On the day of the wedding, they took care of everything for us so we could just relax and enjoy ourselves - it was completely stress-free.

Talk to me about all things mid century modern. I love a thoughtful, well designed space. Bold colors and patterns are my happy place. But not to worry, I know that not everyone loves that. I listen to your vision and offer practical advice to help bring it to life based on your budget. Getting to know my couples is one of my favorite parts of the job!

Gwen helped us plan our wedding in October 2023. From searching for venues to the day-of details, Gwen made everything super easy and stress-free for us. I can't recommend planning a wedding with Gwen enough, our day was fantastic and went smoothly thanks to her. We both have busy, stressful careers and could not have planned a wedding from the ground up without her.

I have been in the industry since 2016, creating videos and capturing memories for all types of weddings and exciting events. Capturing your special day is the top of my priority list, and having fun is second!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Jordan on a styled shoot. Jordan is friendly, easy to relate to, and found ways to get just the right shot needed for the shoot. Her personality made the couple feel comfortable and at ease. Jordan created stunning sneak peeks withing 24 hours of the shoot. Her videography told a story with all the important details in a way that was meaningful and fun! Working with Jordan was easy from beginning to end. She communicated well and with eagerness. She listened to what was needed for the day and executed it with purpose and flair. I would recommend Jordan to any couple who wants their story captured by someone who is relatable, funny, and has an eye for the details and the overall vision for the day!

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 
Rating: 4.9 (78 reviews)
  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Hudson, ME

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

We ordered the dusty rose small package for my daughter's wedding. The flowers were beautiful. There were plenty of flowers for everything we needed. Alexa was awesome! She reached out right away to offer support and kept in touch all weekend. We would definitely order from Flower Moxie again.

We originally worked with Johnny for our engagement photos, and those turned out beautifully. Engagement sessions are included in the wedding package, and we were excited to have him photograph our wedding. Unfortunately, Johnny had to cancel just two days before our wedding due to a family emergency. While we understand emergencies happen, we wish he had informed us sooner, as we would have tried to find another photographer in advance. Johnny mentioned that he had been canceling on other couples over the previous weeks. He provided a replacement photographer Julee, but our experience with her was extremely disappointing. Many key moments were missed, including our first kiss, and the group photos were poorly composed some with light bulbs in our faces. Several images were blurry, dark, or had strange color lines, as if taken on a phone. Guests even commented that she seemed to be standing around rather than actively photographing the day. Overall, very few of the photos were usable, and the moments we wanted to remember were lost. When we expressed our disappointment to Johnny, communication was slow and inconsistent. He initially offered edits, which he provided after some delay, but even with his editing, the photos were still not satisfactory, and we had to do additional edits ourselves. The only usable photos we have are those taken by our guests. Johnny did eventually issue a full refund, though it took 5-6 weeks to receive it. While his engagement photos were excellent, our wedding experience was extremely disappointing and stressful due to the last-minute cancellation and the poor quality of the replacement photographer.

Sean was professional, proactive, and communicative from the start, and approached our day with such care, kindness, and intentionality—it was clear he sees his work as a calling, not just a job.

His photos bring those moments back so vividly. He was flexible, kind, and truly a joy to work with. The quality of his work is unmatched—truly high-caliber.

Nostalgia drove me into photography at an early age - and lead me into my studies of photojournalism. We all innately know when we're at a critical juncture in our lives. For me, being able to authentically capture, to preserve those moments in a photograph is such a privilege. I know how much it means to me to be able to look back and say 'this is how things actually happened.' There is beauty in those truths. The kind of folks I work with share that appreciation.

Corey was awesome to work with, from the first zoom call when we were in our planning stages all the way through the wedding reception! The photos are nothing short of spectacular! We were looking for a photographer who would take a lot of candid shots and capture special moments that way, which worked perfectly with Corey’s photography style. He also got the pictures back to us incredibly fast. We truly cannot recommend Corey (Revolution Summer Photography) enough!

She did such a stunning job with our engagement and wedding photos, we have received so many compliments on them! She got so many beautiful candids too.
