I had my wedding on 7/15/23 at Bourne Mansion and I don’t think I could say more glowing things about the entire experience. From the second we sat down the Miriam, we knew that this was the venue. She was beyond helpful and available for all of our questions big or small from the start. She had amazing suggestions and wonderful vendor choices. I don’t think our wedding would have been the same if we didn’t listen to almost everything she told us to do. Steve was also incredible from our meeting the week prior to the day of, he was right there for anything we needed and was like a drill sergeant making sure everything went on time which was much appreciated. There was a chance that there would have been rain which would have ruined our firework show and Steve made sure that the kitchen rushed the food out so we could get the show started before anything happened. All our guests have raved about the food and how there was enough to feed a small army. As anyone who gets married knows me and my husband weren’t able to indulge in everything but what we ate was AMAZING and I literally can’t stop thinking about the sushi. I could go on and on about how Miriam, Steve and the entire Bourne staff made our night incredible!! I highly recommend choosing Bourne for your wedding!

Trisha was a life saver. My husband and I were absolutely in awe with how above and beyond she went in the months leading up to the wedding, and the day of came together nearly perfectly. Multiple guests described the wedding as the “best they had ever been to”, and knowing how many different vendors and items we had to coordinate, we owe a lot of that to Trisha. She scheduled meetings with vendors, provided tons of product and vendor recommendations, and coordinated setup and cleanup among many other tasks. We had a lot of moving parts the week of the big day, and she was able to set me at ease for the portions that I could not supervise myself. We were able to actually let go and enjoy the day thanks to Trisha, which was very important to my husband and I. Highly recommend using her. 100% worth allocating a portion of our limited budget to her planning services.

I am typically a Type B person in my life, but when it came to our wedding day, I wanted everything to be exactly how I wanted it. This included researching quite literally hundreds of photographers. As a super DIY wedding, I wanted to be able to look back on our photos and be able to relive it without it feeling overly filtered or untrue to how it was in real life. When we came across Fireside Sparrow, not only did the style of photography stand out to us as authentic, but you could just feel that Stephanie was authentic as well. She and Steve fit our vibe perfectly leading up to and the day of our wedding. Her attention to detail and ability to be professional but also feel like your number one fan made our wedding day run so smoothly. They’re now a part of our story forever.

DJ Joe Rocco was equally great with reading the crowd - he had the dance floor packed all night, and we had a small wedding of about 75 people. They arrived on time, setup quickly and everything was seamless. So many guests came up to us after and asked who the DJs were and said they had never EVER been to a wedding with such great DJing. What a night to remember, thanks to Dash of Class!! Hire them!!!

Words can't describe how thankful I am to have had Jess and Jackie on my wedding day!!! Our day wouldn't have nearly gone as smoothly without them. They truly embraced the day and put all their energy into knowing inside and out our timeline, every detail, our vendors and our bridal party. I (the bride) was able to go about my entire day without having to worry about a single thing because they were taking the lead and handling it all. With a big bridal party and family, they ensured our most important people were where they needed to be and that we got all the photo shots that I had specified on my extensive list. All my expectations for the day that I had talked with them the months prior to our wedding were met and exceeded. There were only a few small bumps to the day and they immediately diffused the situation and quickly resolved it, all while being so kind and professional. These two allowed me to be completely present on my day and blocked out all the noise for me and I can't thank them enough for that. I will forever be grateful for Jess and Jackie and I highly recommend you book them ASAP!!!

Our goal is to make you look and feel like the celebrity version of yourself while offering a pampering and stress-free getting ready experience.

Genie artistry was absolutely incredible for my wedding. We were a big group, 12 for makeup and 10 for hair. They finished us early, had time for touch ups and nothing about it felt rushed. The morning moved seamlessly and smoothly. Jeanine and her team are one of the best. I also had an extremely diverse bridal party and they were able to accommodate that and work on everyone. They truly highlighted everyone’s best features and each girl came out stunning. With 3 make up artists and 2 hair stylists you may worry about consistency but each member of the team is so talented, you cannot even tell who did which girl. We started at about 9am and by 6pm for the ceremony everyone’s hair and makeup was perfectly in tact. This is a rare team who can deliver excellence on 12 different girls in a 5 hour period. I would seriously consider them for your wedding/bridal shower or event.

Britt Lee Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $6,750
  • Serves Oakdale, NY

Hello there! My name is Brittany and I am so glad you stopped by! I will be the one answering your late night emails, making you laugh during your engagement session, pulling teasers within hours of seeing you, and documenting every precious moment during your wedding day. I have been fantasizing about my own wedding day since I was about three years old and continue to be just as excited about everything wedding related today. I am a crazy cat lady, soon to be wife, and absolute Office fanatic.

Recently engaged? Congrats! Now don’t wait another second to hire Britt Lee wedding photography!! I had received Brittany’s name from another vendor and instantly fell in love with her work! After meeting her in person and seeing how sweet, calm, kind, organized she was, I knew there was no other choice for our wedding than Britt Lee wedding photography! Brittany played such an important role in our wedding right from the beginning. From helping us establish a timeline straight away that would allow her to capture hundreds of gorgeous natural light photos (we got married in December so daylight was sparse!), vendor recommendations, and constant communication and advice throughout the entire planning process (about anything and everything I asked her!), it’s like she was our personal wedding planner! And I cannot forget the Engagement session! We couldn’t get over how great the photos were (neither one of us ever had done anything like that before or had our picture taken professionally), and we had way more fun than we ever expected (yes, my husband even admitted he had a good time!) When the big day came, Brittany arrived (early none the less) and got right to to work. She kept us on track so we never had to stress about time or anything! I’ve been in a lot of weddings these past few years and I’ve never been more calm or had more fun “getting ready” than I was on the morning of my wedding, and Britt a huge played a part in that! She gives awesome direction and never makes you feel like you are “posing.” And her assistant (also Brittany!) did a great job keeping my husband and his rowdy group of groomsmen on time as well! We had such a blast at our wedding and we were able to truly enjoy ourselves knowing Britt was behind the camera capturing it all! Brittany delivered more than half of our gallery just two weeks after the wedding and the remaining photos 2 weeks after that. To receive our entire gallery in full under a month from our wedding (in the thick of the holiday season mind you) was absolutely mind blowing! But most importantly, the photos were more beautiful than we could have ever imagined! The variety she captured not just of us but of all our guests throughout the day was amazing. I could go on and on about how thrilled we were with Britt Lee wedding photography. Bottom line, Britt is a GREAT person, someone I am so happy now to call a friend, incredibly professional, and super talented. Everything you could ever want from the person responsible for capturing one of the best days of your life to share and look back on together with each other and your family and friends for years and years to come!! Brittany/Britt Lee wedding photography is simply the BEST!!

The first time I picked up a video camera I was 10 years old making home movies in my basement with friends. Today, I enjoy capturing everything from weddings to overseas adventures while still having that excitement of storytelling I had when I was a kid. I create timeless wedding videos by capturing the experience of marriage in an authentic way. My videos are inspired by real moments, emotions and people.

Like many 2020 brides, my husband and I postponed our large wedding reception until next year and held a small ceremony and dinner on our original date. Craig was recommended by our photographer for our original date and we also knew we wanted to have him for our small ceremony. Craig is the nicest guy and literally always had a smile on his face. (And I could tell even with a mask on the whole time! He smiles with his eyes!). Not only did the day move flawlessly, Craig sent us our ceremony and first look footage within 1 week of our wedding. He also edited and sent us our highlight video in less than 2 weeks! He did an incredible job and we are so happy we had him there to capture our amazing day. I have watched the highlight video so many times and it will be treasured forever. We can’t wait to have him there for our larger reception next year.

Samantha is awesome! I found her through Instagram and booked her to coordinate my wedding. We originally did not plan on hiring any type of Wedding Planner/Coordinator. My friend's was just going to help us out, but those plans ended up falling through. However, she referred me to Samantha to help with coordination and I cannot be more serious when I say it was the BEST REFERRAL EVER! Hiring Samantha was truly one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process. She was hired for month-of coordination and she went above and beyond our expectations. Everyone that was a part of our wedding party and family even noticed how amazing she was! What stood out to us the most was how diligent, organized, and thorough she was with every single detail and that truly made all the difference in comparison to other weddings I have been to. She was so helpful when dealing with vendors because this is not something we did on a regular basis. She made our special day all the more special by taking the stress out of it and just knowing how to handle everything. I plan on convincing every person that tells me they don't want a wedding planner to hire Samantha!”
