Mr and Mrs Travis Sharp - Ocean Cliff - April 5, 2008

Dear Bob & Michelle,

Kristin and I want to thank you and your staff so much for the way you handled our wedding. You were so easy to work with, which took so much weight off our shoulders that day. We couldnt have been happier with the music, and your easy going attitude. Michelle was awesome for the photos. We can't wait to see the photos and video.

Thanks so much,

Sincerely,

Kristin and Travis Sharp

Jeremy & Melissa Dominick - 10/6/07 - Pawtuckett Country Club, RI
Bob and Michelle,

Melissa and I are now getting back from our honeymoon and getting our lives on track after absorbing all the sun Hawaii had to offer. We wanted to write sooner, however....well...you know how that goes. We were going to e-mail you right before we left for the airport and were still buzzing on how awesome the wedding was, but...well...you know how that goes.

However, now that we're home and settled, we needed to send you a BIG, HUGE, INDESCRIBABLE THANK YOU!!!!!!! We knew we were going to love working with you from the start but we didn't realize how talented you really were.

You were more than just photographers, djs and videographers at our wedding. We had no idea how versatile Michelle was, from taking pictures, to sewing Melissa into her dress, to fixing my brothers' snafu with the runner at the church, you were there for us every step of the way. It was great watching Jeremy work seamlessly with Michelle. They certainly made a great team. Bob, you did an awesome job of getting our family and friends on the dance floor! I don't think my brothers sat down through one song. You were awesome at getting people to dance during the usual down time at dinner. And, of course, another huge thank you for helping us work out our dream entrance for our first dance and the introductions! The bridal party really got into it. We think it turned out great in the end. We received so many complements on the music, even people saying that they don't usually dance at weddings, however, they couldn't help themselves at ours. ...(continued under picture)

We had so many complements from our family and friends about your professionalism and everything that you did during the day. Everyone was giving us complements on how great everything was. You really fit into the scene with our guests - we barely noticed that you were there during our personal moments. We simply don't know how to thank you for everything - you guys really helped make the day special.

If you ever need a reference from past clients for any future clients, don't hesitate to send along our contact information! We would recommend you guys to anyone looking for your services!

Thanks so much for everything. We can't wait to see the video and pictures!

Matt and Jocie Colletti - 9/8/07 - Aldrich Mansion

Aldrich Mansion - Warwick RI

Hi!

Just wanted to say quickly before we take off for Turks and Caicos that we had an amazing time last night!!! The majority of it is thanks to Michelle, Bob and your entire staff. We couldn't have asked for better or nicer people to document our wedding day. I cannot stop obsessing over the picture. The color, the shot, everything! It is simply stunning and we are so excited to see what is to come! We had a rather large brunch at Matt's parents' house today and you guys were the talk of the town!!! Everyone could not stop talking about how wonderful, nice, professional, and just attentive you all were. Tell Bob he is everyone's favorite DJ and you are their favorite photographer, and I mean that honestly and truly.

We can't wait to see you again in 2 weeks at Rachael's and Brian's wedding!!!
Jocie and Matt

John & Denise Oliveira - 5/07/07 - Ocean Cliff, Newport, RI

Michelle,

You and your team captured our day perfectly. Our Pictures are amazing. I'm really looking forward to creating our album! All of our guests (and some vendors) really liked seeing the slideshow online and could'nt believe how quick it was up.

Our video is great too! A few people commented that they didnt realize we were having a video done- that's how unobtrusive it was!

Thank you so much for all of your hard work, professionalism and attention to detail.

Feel free to use us as a referral

Hello Bob and Michelle - we just saw the first of your work on Kelan and Joe's wedding (14 July) and the video with my music behind it. We are ecstatic! The subtle composition of Michelle's work throughout gives us the sense we had at the wedding itself. No 'stiff' stills but great candids and shots that capture elements of the day that seem to give us the sense of the event from start to finish.

We have advised our friends (one as you know is already planning to use your services) - there is a significant difference between your artful work and any others we have seen. Bob was equally supportive during the event - I was thrilled with the sound support and his control of the event. A great party and you guys made a major contribution.

Thanks,
Michael P. Balogh (Brides Father)

Posted from email thank you's from kristin and her father

From Kristins Father "Mark Sjoberg "

"Bob & Michelle:

Thank you so much for your courtesies and talents in making Kristin & Jay's wedding a joyous event. Kristin told me before they left on their honeymoon cruise that her dream wedding had come true.

Michelle, you put everyone at ease, making it an enjoyable time to share as the events of the day unflolded. Knowing the personalities, it could have been an anxious time - it was anything but. When you saw Kristin upset at the prospect of leaving Bailey, you captured their special relationship with pictures. We're dying to see them.

Bob, the party was non-stop. Everyone had a ball. It was wonderful to see four generations on the dance floor together. You could literally see the pressures of the day melt away as Kristin & Jay celebrated among their family and friends.

It's hard to believe that all we have now are memories of the event we planned for so long. You not only helped create the moments but memorialized them for us as well. We can't thank you enough and we're looking forward to the next phase.

As an aside, four of our guests are contemplating their daughter's weddings within the next two years. They each asked for a referral, which I was pleased to give.

From Kristin (The Bride)

Bob & Michelle,

I just wanted to drop you a quick email and let you know how appreciative I am of the wonderful job you both did for Jay and I. Our music and photos were everything we hoped for and expected from such talented people as you. THANK YOU!

PS...Michelle~ Where do I go from here with the album? I LOVE what you did for the album, it's beautiful..maybe just adding a grandparents page and a page with the kids. I just got back from our trip so I haven't even really had a chance to sit down and pour through everything, but I like what you did so far and would probably just add to it...if that's ok? Do I just give you a general idea and you run with it or do you want specific pictures that Jay and I like? How much time do I have to let you know? Also, can anyone order prints from you? Jay's mom showed interest, I know my parents will order, and, of course, Jay and I will, too. I just didn't know if we all could do it online and the prices and orders would still be separate. (Lots of questions...I'm sorry and THANKS AGAIN!)

Kristin Sjoberg (ooops...I mean Parker)

 
Eric and Corrine Tunstall - 9/8/07 - West Valley Inn, RI

Bob and Michelle,

I wanted to let you know how pleased Eric and I were with our team that you sent for our wedding.

Derek, Kenny, Manny, Eric were all great.

They all have fantastic personalities and I am so glad they were assigned to us.

We would recommend this team to anyone looking for your services. We will use your services again.

Looking forward to seeing our pictures and video.

Hi Michelle and Bob,

I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how awesome Saturday was! Renee, Manny and Derek didn't skip a beat they were on top of everything! I can't wait to see the pictures!!!

I had several people comment about the whole team and several thought Bob was the greatest DJ. I'll have to get cards from you, I have a lot of friends with kids that will be getting married in the next few years.

It was a beautiful day, Jill was of course thee most beautifull bride ever (I'm not partial though!) Eric also did not look to shabby. They were a beautiful couple.
Thank you again for helping make the day even more special!

Brian and Liz Deschene - Aldrich Mansion 8/06/05
 

Hi Michelle and Bob,

Things have been so incredibly busy that we did not get a chance to write you with feedback on the albums!! We absolutely loved them (and so did our parents)--- Not to mention the fact that you hand delivered them the day before Christmas!! That was an incredibly special gift and we cannot thank you enough for going out of your way for us! Throughout this entire process you have been wonderfully professional, responsive, and sensitive to our desire to capture all of the special moments from our wedding. ALL of the pictures are truly gorgeous and really portray the love and happiness that everyone felt on that day!! Thanks, again, for everything.

All our best,

Liz and Brian Deschene :0)

 
3 service Thank you -08/07/05 -Biltmore Providence

Michelle and Bob,

You know we had a blast at our wedding and we can certainly attribute much of that to you both. Bob, the music was great. Everyone raved that our wedding was the best one of the summer - and after a summer where many friends and relative had attended a minimum of 3 other weddings, we were sooooo glad that ours really stuck out. Our video is awesome. It's so fun to see everyone dancing and having a great time, and I do not regret that we spent money to record the day. I was torn about that, but in the end, am really happy that we can now watch our wedding whenever we want to. Michelle, there are so many photos we hardly know which to pick. We love that they are online and that you sent us the CD so we can print as many as we want to. I really should get cracking on the coffee table album that I want, but with so many pictures, it's going to take a while.

Your personalities are infectious and made the day spectacular. Thank you for all your help and hard work.

Kristine and Jonathan Miller

 
From Mark & Alli - 10/22/05 - Westin Hotel
 
The words "Thank You!" cannot say enough for what Bobby, Michelle and Jeremy did for us on our wedding day. If you are looking for professionalism, personalization and dedication, you have made the right decision with choosing Main Event for the most important day of your lives. The quality of the finished product of the photos and video are unbelievable. The music during the reception was second to none. You should be extremely confident in your decision to work with Main Event, knowing that you have picked THE best vendor in the entire state. Both Bobby and Michelle were always available for us to discuss the smallest detail and have gone way out of their way to give us exactly what we wanted and needed! Really, after your day is over, you will know exactly what we mean when we say, "From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for capturing the memories we will have for the rest of our lives!" Best of Luck! ~Mark and Alli Bloom 10/22/2005!
