Without Carina in my corner through the planning process our wedding would not have been as amazing as it was. She truly stands by your side (and some times in front of you) pulling you to the finish line of the best day of your life. I did not have family local and planned a wedding that was 2 hours from my current place of residence and she filled in any and every gap needed to make sure I was happy with everything. Her and her team go above and beyond and I am so thankful that I found her.

From the very first conversation, Casie demonstrated an open, helpful, and kind communication style that put us at ease. She took the time to get to know us and understand exactly what we were looking for in terms of capturing our special day. Casie's organizational skills, artistic eye, and clear talent were evident in the stunning photos she delivered. We had provided Casie with a detailed shot list beforehand, and she made sure to get every single photo we requested, even some we hadn't thought of. The only thing I wish we had done was make sure to get like a full length shot of my dress front and back and a great photo with just my siblings - something to keep in mind for future couples working with anyone. Overall, we are thrilled with the quality of Casie's work and highly recommend her to any couple planning their wedding. She captures people in a beautiful way that is always so unique to the couple. We did 8 hours. We recommend 9 because getting ready always takes longer than you think. - happy couple

She effortlessly brings ambiance of every event she attends, creating a magical atmosphere with her music. Whether your dream wedding is an intimate gathering or a grand affair, Sarah will help bring your vision to life.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am writing this review about Sarah. First of all, she was so great at being responsive which right off the bat was a big deal for me. Planning a wedding is stressful but during our first initial meet through Zoom I was immediately put at ease. Second, booking her was extremely easy and fairly priced. Thirdly, she was on time and I balled my eyes out walking down the aisle to beauty and the beast. I've never heard the harp in person and it was an experience I will never forget. She made my event elegant and elevated in all the right ways. If I ever have an excuse to bring Sarah back to another event, I WILL and will recommend her to anyone looking for calm, beautiful music for any event. Thank you thank you thank you Sarah!

The communication went smoothly, she was incredibly professional, accommodating, and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. We couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you so much for the fantastic experience! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional photography services.

Maggie blew me away! I'm in no way someone who can envision flavor pairings or even designs for a cake. I knew I wanted something classic, yet different for my wedding cake. I also wanted to surprise my husband with a groom's cake that would blow him away. Maggie delivered! She helped me narrow in my ideas to the heart of what I was looking for and she brought my ideas to LIFE. Oh, and they tasted delicious! She brought so much flavor to both cakes, they were moist, & the perfect size. She helped me figure out what size of cakes I needed to feed all my guests! The process was so seamless and that is one of the main things I remember from working with her. If you're on the fence or deep in the search, stop here and commit to Banko Bake! One of my best vendors!
