“Felicity is an absolute DREAM. We cannot speak highly enough about her talent;
radiant personality; and dedication towards making our day unforgettable in so many
ways. We are blown away by the footage she captured and the impact she had on
making the day flawless. She went above and beyond the description of her role; including helping with floral
arrangements and steaming one of our dresses minutes away from the ceremony. We
would highly recommend Felicity to anyone looking to make their special day one to
remember! We feel truly blessed to not only have experienced the most magical day ever; but that
we get to relive all of these moments over and over again thanks to Felicity!” - S&A
“Simply put, Felicity and her team are AMAZING. She will go above and beyond to
execute your vision and make your perfect wedding day a reality. Hiring Felicity allowed
my husband and I to focus on the important things and really enjoy our wedding day
without worrying about the fine details. She is incredibly personable, warm, energetic,
organized, and professional. Her experience in the wedding industry allows her to
anticipate glitches and couples'/vendors' needs so she can address them proactively.
From helping with getting ready photos, to setting up and coordinating the ceremony, to
prompting speakers during the reception, to communicating with our DJ at the dance
party, Felicity was there throughout our wedding to make it truly seamless. Hire her!!!” - M&J
“Felicity not only made our day go the smoothest, on top of being an actual rock star,
but the CONTENT CREATION! I literally just woke up from the best day of my life and
am bawling my eyes out looking back on these clips. Stunning. 10/10. Literal tears are
streaming down my face. I am so beyond thankful to have hired Felicity and that she
had been by our side every step of the way. I will watch every single one of these videos
100 times a day. It was the actual best day of our lives and now we get to look back on
it whenever we want. There are not enough thanks and appreciation I can say to her for
all that she did. I’m so glad I hired her.” - C&D
