We hired Black Tie Entertainment for our wedding and they did an incredible job. Our DJ, Chris L., absolutely crushed it! He made the planning process so easy and was very flexible with moving planning meetings around when life got in the way. On our wedding day, Chris did a great job with our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We were able to change the walk-in song for the bridal party an hour before and had no issues. We also used the digital photo booth and our guests absolutely loved it! We wholeheartedly recommend Black Tie Entertainment to any couple looking for an unforgettable wedding experience.

Ben truly kept the dance floor rocking the whole night long. We had people on the dance floor the entire time. He instantly understood the vibe we wanted from our meeting before hand and the app they provide was so convenient to add everything we wanted in. He even added in new Taylor Swift songs into the night when the album only came out the day before. And he surprised us with a remix of a song with Taylor Swift and my husbands band. Also the live musician Jason helped make our ceremony and cocktail hour so special. And Kory and team videographed the entire thing and made sure not to miss a beat!

We had the absolute best experience with our wedding photographer and her second shooter, Anthony (her husband). From the very beginning, she made the process feel so easy and comfortable. Having an engagement shoot with her beforehand was such a great way to get to know her style and build a connection before the big day—it made us feel at ease in front of the camera. On our wedding day, she and Anthony went above and beyond. They were professional, organized, and so fun to work with. They captured every moment beautifully, all while making us feel relaxed and present. We couldn’t be happier with the photos and the memories they preserved for us. Highly recommend!

Let’s chat! I love chatting…it’s totally my favorite! I’m Kristin Mastrangelo, (go head, try it out…it’s easier than it looks), a makeup & hair artist who specializes in wedding, special event, & television artistry, spending most of my time trying to think of PC ways to avoid putting on “real” pants. I’m a wife of 15 years & momster of 4. Obsessed with heavy metal, tea, all black everything, horror movies all the time, a creature of the night. I hate being late. Personally, I believe everyone should be at least a little weird...normal is a setting on a dryer...so embrace you, be different, and do what you want.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough good things about Kristin! She did hair and makeup for myself, two bridesmaids, our flower girl, and styled my grandmother’s hair on the morning of my wedding. Despite an unexpected hiccup due to a wreck on the interstate, therefore delaying her arrival to the venue, she remained so professional. Her positivity was probably the only thing that kept me calm that morning! She expertly adjusted the schedule, prioritizing myself and my maid of honor so I was perfectly ready for my first look. Not only did she work efficiently, but the results were stunning! I felt more beautiful than I ever have in my life. She truly captured the vision I had for myself, my family, and my bridal party. Beyond her incredible talent, she brought so much joy and fun to our morning. Her humor and warmth added to the excitement and ease of the day. I will absolutely be going to her for any future formal events, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a beauty professional who will make you feel gorgeous, confident, and completely cared for.

Rita and her team did a great job with the hair and makeup for my wedding in November 2024. She was very responsive during the booking process, everything was very clear and seamless. The trial went well and she made sure that I liked how everything looked. Everything on the day of the wedding looked as expected based on the trial. I hardly ever wear makeup and asked for a more natural look and it turned out perfect! I also have fine hair and was worried about having volume, but Rita was able to make my hair look thicker than it is. Both the hair and makeup lasted all night and still looked good after being done around 12pm. We had 6 people getting services and everything was done on time by Rita and her assistant, she provided a schedule so that I was able to let people know when they could arrive. I would recommend Rita to anyone looking for wedding hair and makeup services, she was a pleasure to work with. Thank you!

Dreaming of vibrant, whimsical wedding photos with no travel fees? Hi, I'm Sophia! Capturing love stories through my lens is not just a job but a profound joy that I cherish with every wedding I photograph. It's been six years and I've photographed close to 100 weddings which seems unreal! The photography gene runs in my family, my great-grandfather had his own photography studio in Panama and from there, knowledge of photography was passed down through the generations of my family to me. I believe in always having fun and prioritizing an stress-free lifestyle which translates into my photography style — candid, authentic, and joyful.

We’re a collaborative team of filmmakers and photographers who live for making amazing things for the world’s most friggin’ amazing couples. When we started this business on a wing and a prayer, we quickly realized that working alone is not a ton of fun - some would say, it’s for the birds. So, we grew our team and that’s when things really started to come to life.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the absolute best experience working with the Paperboys team for our wedding photography and videography! We knew since our engagement photoshoot session with John that he would be a dream to work with on our big day. He instantly grasped our vibe and leaned into our ideas, which resulted in our stunning engagement photos at the Great Falls location he took us to! His energy made every moment enjoyable, and we felt completely at ease in front of the camera.   On our wedding day, John teamed up with our lead videographer, Logan, and together they were the perfect duo! Their complementary styles added a sense of lighthearted fun and joy to the otherwise chaotic bustle of the day. You could really tell they are professionals at what they do; they effortlessly captured our vision with just a few short words we gave them to describe the mood we wanted to feel when looking back at our wedding photos and videos. When we received our sneak peek photos and teaser video shortly after the wedding, we were truly at a loss for words. Every shot reflected the emotions we experienced that day, and we are so excited to see what else they have in store for us! Thank you, Paperboys, for preserving our special day in such a beautiful and cinematic way. We will cherish these memories forever!!

Melinda photographed our engagement shoot. I chose Melinda because I was immediately drawn to her style of photography. She is patient, kind, and incredibly professional. She guided my now-husband and me through each pose and made sure we always felt comfortable. My husband is usually the most awkward person, especially around strangers, but he felt completely at ease in front of the camera thanks to Melinda.

Geneva was amazing to work with. Prompt responder and she follows and supports every step of the way. She shot our engagement and wedding day and we couldn’t be happier with how our pictures came out. Even with all the craziness that comes with weddings she made it one of the smoothest processes and kept it fun for us. I couldn’t recommend her more!

We are proud and happy to help curate every wedding to our couple's romantic specifications. We include coordination, and no 'must use' vendors list so you can make your wedding personal and relaxing. We only offer totally private rentals, so you can feel like your guests are visiting you in your own home. Our pet-friendly property even lets you bring your pups. Rixey offers the most spectacular views... from the top of the Blue Ridge Mountains on one side, to the bottom of Rixey Lake on the other. Our rooftop and patio spaces make for a magical setting both at sunset and at night, and the Ballroom, complete with climate control and ADA-accessible bathrooms, means that inclement weather won't have a negative effect on your special day. The history of the house lends an air of vintage elegance, but what most of our couples love is the comfy atmosphere provided by big sofas, real fires, and the ability to curl up at the end of the night in the library with your favorite people.

We can’t say enough wonderful things about Rixey Manor! Choosing to have our wedding there was one of the best decisions we made. It was truly an unforgettable venue that had everything we could have dreamed of and more! From the moment we booked, Isadora and Grace were amazing—accommodating, knowledgeable, extremely responsive, and helpful answering any questions we had and offering much needed guidance. There’s no need for a separate wedding planner because they are an exceptional team! They provided excellent vendor recommendations, seamlessly coordinated every detail, and made the entire planning process feel manageable and smooth. They really thought of everything to make our wedding day unique and special! We had the entire manor for the weekend, from Friday through Sunday, which included beautiful bedrooms where some of our family stayed and it felt so special that we could all stay together and celebrate. And the guest house where the groomsmen stayed and got ready was very helpful and so much fun! This made the experience feel like a full, immersive celebration. We held both our rehearsal dinner and welcome party at the manor, which made everything convenient for our guests and was the perfect way to start our wedding weekend. Our ceremony was originally going to be outdoors in front of the manor, but rain forced us to move it to our tented reception area. Isadora and Grace handled this change in plans with such ease, ensuring that our wedding was still beautiful, stress-free, and magical—rain or shine. They quickly transitioned everything so our reception could also take place on the scenic patio, where elegant decorations and stunning views created theperfect atmosphere. Rixey Manor is much more than just a beautiful venue. The manor itself is a treasure, with its ballroom, cozy library, fireplaces, and a charming rooftop veranda where guests can hang out and enjoy incredible views. It felt like a home away from home, but with all the elegance of a high-end venue. The staff, including the friendly and attentive bartending team, made us and our guests feel so special. I got ready at the manor with my bridal party—15 bridesmaids, plus family members—and it was such a great experience! The team thought of everything and provided everything we needed to be prepared for the day. They were also great with children, helping our two flower girls feel welcome and comfortable. If you are considering Rixey Manor for your wedding, absolutely book it! You will be taken care of every step of the way. You’ll be surrounded by stunning scenery and cared for by a team who genuinely wants your day to be perfect. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more, thanks to Isadora, Grace and Rixey Manor! We love you guys! **Photo credit to our wonderful photographer Gabrielle Rose Photography!**
