Reviews for Celebrations Tampa Bay Photographers, Videographers, DJs
GUEST




From our first meeting with Randy to the day we received our pictures everything has been amazing. Everyone was professional and has given top notch service. Our DJ Kary was great and everyone danced up a storm. Our wonderful video captured so many cherished moments. I will continue to watch this video with pride and happiness. Our pictures were gorgeous and Ashley did a great job, I cried thru all the 1375 pictures that she took. You can sleep well knowing that Celebrations of Tampa Bay will take care of your wedding day and you will not be disappointed!!!
GUEST




We hired Celebrations of Tamp Bay to do our wedding photography. We mat with Randy and was very impressed with the options they had to offer. Ashlee was our photographer and she was very nice to work with and did a great job.
GUEST




I cannot begin to say enough good things about Randy and his company! My in laws purchased our videographer as a gift to us so I had not met Randy until the day of the wedding but he was one of the nicest people we had ever met! My husband and I still talk about how great he was and it's a month later! LOL He was so professional and everyone commented on how well he did and how nice he was to all our other guests. The turn around time for our highlight reel and video was amazing! If you get a chance I HIGHLY recommend using Celebrations of Tampa Bay!
GUEST




I would highly recommend this company. They showed up on time and delivered as promise. I had my wedding video in a timely manner and it turned out great.
GUEST




The whole staff is professional. Randy was a cool guy from the beginning. Stephanie did a great job making sure everything was in order for the wedding. Joe and Dave were awesome! We have gotten compliments on how professional Joe was; he captured so many moments (and we didn't even know it...lol.). Dave did a good job with our videography and matching the music with the different occasions. Both guys were easy to work with and were patient with the craziness that went along with the day. Great company...I recommend them.
GUEST




We wanted just raw footage so we can make the video ourselves since that is something my husband and I enjoy to do. Therefore, I cannot comment on the final video product but the service was impeccable! I met with the owner, Randy, prior to selecting them as our vendor for videography services. He was very professional and friendly.
For the day of, the videographer we were given arrived on time, ready to go. He was also very friendly and personable and busted his butt the entire time we had contracted him for. Guests even commented how they were amazed at how he ran around to get every shot he could, trying not to miss a thing. What great service he provided and worked very well around our photographer's needs and requests as well. Many people thought they were working together because they were flawless.
We are looking forward to seeing the footage. Definitely recommend if all of your videographers are as hard working as the gentleman we had on our big day....
GUEST




Celebrations can provide photography, videography, and DJ/lighting services and does them all very well. They did first look photos with us and the experience was amazing. They captured every wonderful emotion of that moment. We got our pictures and DVD in a very timely manner afterwards and the quality of both were great. The lighting at our reception was exactly what we wanted and the DJ tailored the early part of out reception to match the travel theme of our wedding. After that he got the party started and made sure that the dance floor was never empty and that all the reception events flowed perfectly. With package deals to get all 3 services the value is certainly there without any sacrifice in quality.
GUEST




My sister went with them and I loved their work so much that I wanted them for MY wedding!! Definitely include the Love Story in your package...everyone said it was their favorite part of my wedding!
GUEST




Randy and his team are AMAZING! I hae to admit I was skeptical when I was looking at reviews and researching the company they seemed perfect. Now I know, they helped me capture and celebrate one of the most memorable days of my life. I can not put in words how much I appreciate the work that Randy and his team do.
GUEST




We were blessed to have Randy from Celebrations of Tampa Bay. He was very helpful the whole day. He worked very well with our photographer and helped get those unforgettable shots we dreamed of. He acted quickly to capture the moments during those precious sunset hours. He even played highlight clips for us during the reception! We would definitely recommend this company to any couple who wants to capture all of their special moments for years to come!
GUEST




I had Celebrations of Tampa Bay do my videography, photography, and DJ. When they first got there, it was a bit overwhelming and felt like I was being bombarded by poparazzi. I had 3 photographers and 2 videographers. Then things started to calm down a bit and it was fun. I have not received the pictures back yet, but the few that I have seen are excellent. They were very professional and obviously knew what they were doing. The one thing is that they are very personable. They have done serveral weddings, so like to do their traditional poses and may lack creativity with some of their shots. But, overall I was very satisfied with their work.
Our DJ did a great job to get the party started and get people dancing. We were scheduled to end the dance at 11:00 due to the noise ordinence in Florida, but he kept playing until 11:30ish.
GUEST




I just wanted a simple video nothing to fancy and thats what I got. They are capable of doing more but its what I wanted and I'm happy with it.
GUEST




We are extremely picky when it comes to music and we wanted our wedding to have a specific feel. We created an expansive list of songs we wanted played and gave the DJ only a little bit of flexibility. This probably makes their job a lot harder because they want to honor all of our requests while also ensuring the guests enjoy themselves and the music. We could not have been happier with Kevin, as he graciously accommodated all of our requests and was pleasant about it when we expected a little grief! The music was exactly to our taste and we received many compliments that evening on the DJ services. We could not have found a better DJ to suit our needs!
GUEST




I used Celebrations for my May 12, 2012 wedding. We had the combo package for the DJ/Photographer, both of whom were awesome! We had Todd for the photographer, who understood the look I wanted (I'm very picky about pictures) and understood what angles would make people look best. I'm prone to having a double chin look in pictures, which Todd managed to avoid. I felt so beautiful when the pictures came out! Darla, the DJ, also did a fantastic job keeping everyone dancing and kept calm despite us having to change the order of events at the reception when one grandmother decided she wanted to leave RIGHT THEN but not before seeing the cake cutting and bouquet toss. I have nothing but good things to say about this company.
GUEST




Celebrations is a great value. We used them for Photo, Video, and DJ. It has barely been 2 weeks since the wedding so we have not received the final product but they were great to work with during the day. Randy responded quickly to all emails, we added additional service last minute and it was no problem. Our photographer- Todd and Torrie- were so amazing.
GUEST




Great service for the price paid! Very satisfied with the services!!!! Would def. recommend celebrations of tampa bay to everyone!
GUEST




Our destination wedding in Treasure Island was almost perfect! We hired Celebrations for photography, ceremony music, ceremony recording, and DJ services. The photographer, Joe, was AMAZING and he seemed to have fun photographing the event. He would take the shot, check it on his camera, and take it again if he needed to. I know he captured all of the big moments. He showed us some of his favorites on the camera after he took them, and I cannot WAIT to get the photos back! I KNOW they will be gorgeous.
We paid for a stationary video camera to be set up during the ceremony, but Randy was there doing full-on videography instead. It looked like the DJ was running late or something, and Randy was doing both until I reminded him we hadn't paid for a full night of videography. Then he was able to focus on the music instead, and after the scheduled DJ got there, he sent him home and Randy kept working. I could tell he was working so hard to keep us happy!
We got really lucky with this wedding. Everyone we hired was fantastic and I didn't have to worry about anything. You never really know when you can't be there ahead of time to meet the vendors, but I couldn't have asked for more! All of our guests thought the day was perfect and everyone had a great time. I am so excited to get the photos and...
GUEST




This is the BEST experience you will ever have. Randy is a wonderful videographer and has so many great ideas for you. We did the Love Story early because we moved away from Tampa and when we received it, we were astonished by how wonderful it was put together. Truly a masterpiece we will have in our DVD library for life. Can't wait to show all our friends and family!!! You won't be disappointed!!!
GUEST




When I met with Randy from Celebrations I could tell right away that he was going to do whatever it took to make sure I had exactly the experience I was wanting. I explained to him that both my husband and I are from large hispanic families and that music HAD to be good. We gave him playlists of songs we wanted played as well as what kind of crowd would be there so he could know how to keep the party going. On the day of my wedding I was blown away! It was a party the entire night, he knew exactly what to play at all times of the night. At one point he joined in dancing, gave out wigs and maracas...it was a BLAST! He gave my husband a really nice dedication regarding his military service which touched us a lot. I had a great reception thanks to Celebrations of Tampa Bay!
GUEST




We decided last minute to have videography at our wedding and we are so glad we did! Randy played two roles the night of our wedding: DJ and videographer. He was everywhere-- coming up with creative shots and capturing our wedding. Everyone commented on how he was sure not to miss a thing. I am so excited to see the video and I am so happy we decided on videography. Thanks again Celebrations and Randy for making our day special.
GUEST




Our DJ was great! He was flexible with our timeline and listened to our suggestions. He took the time to get to know our taste in mucsic and did a great job interacting with our guests and getting out on the dance floor. Excellent!!!
GUEST




My brother used Celebrations of Tampa Bay and when we got married we knew exactly who we wanted to use! The service and the staff are amazing! The photographer and the DJ were extremely helpful during the entire thing and really helped kept things moving in a positive direction which can be hard when there are a lot of people. I almost wish we had more events that we could hire Celebrations of Tampa Bay for. We were extremely happy with everything that was done and can't even imagine one little complaint to make! Amazing amazing amazing is all I have to say. Thank you all so much for helping out on our wonderful day!
GUEST




Randy was such a pleasure to work with. He worked with me to create a package with exactly what I wanted for my wedding and within my budget. When I received the video after the wedding, it was even more than I could have imagined. Randy went above and beyond to capture my special day and create a wonderful DVD that we can watch over and over.
GUEST




awesome, super, we love our video....THANK YOU.
GREAT PRICE for all services !!
we also used Celebrations for our DJ who was AWESOME.. and the uplighting.
GUEST




The quality of the DJ used as well as their sound system, completely ruined my daughter's wedding reception. Announcements of important events which occur at a wedding reception were not heard, i.e., bride dancing with father, cake cutting, important dedications, etc. In general, the music sounded "tinny" and there was no organization or clear direction from the DJ. This was such a shamble that guests were having conversations about it at their tables! While this poor quality of service can NEVER be remedied, because a wedding is a one time event, what was even more frustrating was the disrespect the owner showed to my husband and me when we registered our complaint. We obliged with his request for "an investigation" by getting several letters submitted by the guests that confirmed our complaints. However, this owner's reaction was one of defense, rather than understanding. He denied the poor quality of the DJ and made no concessions to his errors, only to admit the sound system wasn't large enough for the room. He was convinced that we were lying and just trying to get our money back, so he proceeded to do a personality investigation with the hotel and church. Finally, he was prepared to give us a small refund, but only if we wold sign a "satisfaction of contract" form. This action certainly implied that he was covering himself for fear of a lawsuit.
I strongly urge anyone who is considering this vendor to be aware. The only action the owner will take if you register a complaint with him, is character assassination.
Vendor response to review
The DJ for this event was Chancey, which one week after this event a bride put in a very positive review, which I'll be glad to give the contact info of that bride to gauge Chancey's ability as a DJ. The refund was not for the sound system. It was because the father of the bride had given us a couple of songs to be played, but they were not on the reception worksheet. There was a mis-communication on when those songs were to be played. Chancey thought the father of the bride was going to tell him on when they were supposed to be played, and so because they were not on the reception worksheet, they were not played, therefore, we felt atleast partial responsibility for this and refunded the bride the money. In regards to the other issues, you can see the reviews of our other brides, and we'll be happy to give you their contact info to evaluate Chancey, or any other DJ for that matter. Thankyou for your consideraton.
GUEST




I waited to write my review because i wanted to see the final product******i am real and want to be fair to other brides as i depended on reading reviews.
to begin with Randy was very very flexible,
my wedding was on a sunday and he added a few extras: he was very excited to do the wedding.We had them do video, photo and dj, i can say i was very skeptical to have them do all 3 because i was putting all of my eggs in one basket. Let me tell you it was the best thing!!! they handled everything. they were there on time and made sure they captured everything that was important to me. The quality of my pictures were amazing and i didnt want a video and photographer that was in my way all they time and randys team was not! they let me do what i wanted to and just caputured it!. The video i didnt even notice was there until i got it. which made my husband cry again. it was great!
GUEST




My husband and I highly recommend Celebrations of Tampa Bay. Overall, Randy did such an awesome job with our wedding video, and had many cool ideas for shots too. He is very professional, creative with his ideas, and fun to work with. During the reception, guests could watch parts of our wedding video, ceremony etc on the big screen. It was a cool touch, and the guests loved it too.
The year before the wedding, my sister and her husband used Celebrations for her videography and everyone loved the video too. If you are looking for professional videography to capture all the unforgetable moments of your wedding, Celebrations is the way to go.
GUEST




Celebrations is an amazing company. We worked with Randy via email mostly, and he organized a beautiful event with high quality work. We used Celebrations for DJ, Photography, Videography, and Uplighting services - and were not at all disappointed. Everyone was friendly and professional. They captured such special moments, but seemed invisible - not like those photographers/videographers who are in the way at all times. They captured stunning shots quickly and efficiently after the ceremony so we were able to meet back up with our guests ASAP. Our DJ, Kevin, was fun and energetic. He kept the dance floor full the whole night - the guests really enjoyed him. We also used the uplighting services which created a dramatic effect in the reception area - it was just beautiful. We received the DVD and CD of photos about 2 weeks after the wedding - incredible! Their work is just fantastic. I can't believe the price they charge for their services - it's a steal! You will not find a more reasonably-priced company that produces such quality work. You can't go wrong with Celebrations. Thank you for all your hard work and making our special day so memorable :-)

My husband and I had a destination wedding and I was nervous about hiring vendors that I knew nothing about other than what I found online. From the beginning, Randy was very professional and was very helpful. On the day of our wedding, Dave was our cameraman and he was extremely friendly too, but never intrusive. We often forgot that we were being filmed which was really nice! He captured lots of great moments on film and we were really happy with our final product. We also had a bit more pressure because we were having a second reception back home a month later and were relying on their film to show our family and friends our experience - they did a wonderful job on it! They also created a great highlight video (about 5 minutes long) that recapped the most memorable moments that we have been able to show many people. We were really happy with their services and I would highly recommend Celebrations of Tampa Bay to any bride-to-be!
GUEST




I was planning my desitnation wedding in clearwater, florida the beginning of June 2011. I had to pick a photographer and videographer soley based on thier website and through email based conversations. Randy, a videographer, worked with me to chose a photographer based on my likings, answered all my questions within hours of my emails, and also edited our wedding video within 20 days of our ceremony so that we were able to show our guests at our at-home reception. The video was amazing and both employees worked together so well that they complimented each other perfectly. The photographer, Stephanie, was talented and knowledgable and took amazing pictures. She worked the crowd and was able to get her work done promptly. Everything was on time, done quickly and smoothly, and even though they were shooting the whole time, neither of them were an interuption at any time during our ceremony or reception. They also worked with me to customize a package that fit my needs and date. I would recommend this company, especially these to artists to anyone getting married in the Tampa...
GUEST




Randy at Celebration's of Tampa Bay is simply amazing and I was so impressed with his enthusiasm and creativity!! Randy showed up right on time and worked like crazy all evening. Every time I turned around the camera light was on and Randy was capturing a moment, interviewing someone, or running around and working himself to death to make sure nothing was missed.
randy also provided us with a fabulous video during our reception! We had no idea that we would be able to see what he had captured so quickly, we were all floored with his service! Future clients would be out of their mind to think of any one but Celebrations of Tampa Bay! This is a wonderful company to work with and they cater to their clients 100%!!!

Used them for DJ, Photo and Video - very professional and easy to work with. They kept to themselves and stayed in the background but did quality work. We have not received our prints or video yet but from what were show as they were shooting we are very excited. You will not be disappointed in using any of their services for your wedding.

GUEST




USE RANDY I was blown away by the quality and artistry of his work AMAZING RESULTS for the price Just a perfect mix on the video of a few interviews, music and artistic/traditional shots.
GUEST




HIGHLY RECOMMEND "CELEBRATIONS OF TAMPA BAY"!
What an AWESOME job that Randy and his crew did for me on our wedding day. We hired Randy, Diego & Lydia for our Photography, Videography & DJ services. You can't beat the price NOR the quality of the product!
Lydia was fantastic as our photographer! Very cordial, and took any pictures that we wanted taken at our ceremony, formals and our reception! We went table to table and took pictures of everyone who attended our wedding and reception!
Diego was our videographer and really did an incredible job! He had us do some awesome video transitions and was with us through the entire ceremony and reception! Very friendly and will be there for everything you need. Randy also was our second-camera for the evening (prior to the reception). He was there with Diego through the formal pictures and the ceremony.
Randy - AWESOME DJ!!! You did everything we wanted - and more! We LOVED the props that you brought with you to the reception (hats, congas, etc.). Everybody that we spoke with had an excellent time and was very complimentary! Our introduction at the reception all the way to the cutting of the cake - and everything in between - was very well choreographed!
RANDY, DIEGO & LYDIA - THANK YOU FOR MAKING OUR WEDDING THE EVENT OF OUR LIVES! We would definitely hire you again for any future events that we have!!
We would also like to thank Stephanie for coordinating all of our paperwork prior to the event! You did an awesome job of keeping things so organized!
Thanks and God Bless You!

I was a bit disappointed with the end result. From the reviews I read online, I knew Randy was one of the best videographer so when I signed up to use their services I made it clear I wanted him and he basically said he'd make it happen. However, he didn't make it the day if and the videographer we has was just okay. He showed up on time and did capture some fun moments, but the quality of the end video wasn't the greatest. Points of the video were shaky and unclear. Additionally, before the wedding I wrote out indepth what I wanted and they said they got it, but it obviously wasn't communicted to the videographer. I asked that he eat while we were getting our pictures taken after the ceremony so he wouldn't miss any part of the reception. But he did the opposite and missed all if the games we played, which I had specifically asked to have taped. Also, I asked that the videographer go to each table to video the table and then ask the guests to share something, but instead he picked a few random guests and asked them to go to a different room and he tapes them there, but most of those people had to redo their little speech because the first time the mic or camera wasn't working. But I will say that Stephanie from the office was amazing to work with.
GUEST




If you live in the Tampa Bay Area and have an upcoming wedding, I highly recommend Celebrations of Tampa Bay. An all inclusive package that handles several services (DJ/Photography/Videography) and more. Their highly Professional team worked so well with everyone. The Videography was a huge hit at the reception. They captured and played pre-ceremony and the actual ceremony at the reception...very unique and have heard a lot of positive comments from those who attended! Thanks.. to Randy/Jeff/Charles/Matt - those guys were awesome! Veilleux-Hershelman 12-11-10 wedding - Tampa
GUEST




Randy, Matt and Charles did an excellent job of photographer, videographer and DJ at my son/daughter-in-law's wedding in December 2010. The photos are great and the videographer caught much of the action that we missed that day. I highly recommend Celebrations of Tampa Bay.
GUEST




We used Celebrations of Tampa Bay for our videography services and our wedding video was amazing. The pricing was just right as well! They came to our rehearsal dinner as well as our wedding and reception...all were in different places. Not to mention, they were able to get footage of both the guys and girls getting ready. Our video is laid out in chapters so if we want to get to something specific, it is easy to find. I would definiately recommend Randy and his team to anyone! The video is a nice-to-have and a lot of people eliminate it to save costs, but I would not be happy without it. Now we can save the memories forever.
GUEST




Randy is so awesome to work with, and you can't beat the prices and flexibility ( I added on an extra hour to videography less than 2 weeks before my wedding.) My guests loved that Randy was out on the dance floor with them and had props to get more guests involved in the dancing. He was more than just a DJ, you could feel the passion and love for his job through out the evening.
The also did my video and I am looking forward to seeing the final product in the near future. All of my guests kept telling me they were everywhere during the ceremony and reception. The entire day was a blur so I am so excited to see the final product.
Thank you again for being a part of our special day!
GUEST




Chance was a great DJ and Joe was an amazing photographer. They were both very thorough and flexible for my needs. Chance had the party going! Joe was very inspired with his photos.
Thank you so much!
GUEST




Randy was great and very professional. All the guests thought it was so neat that he played a video throughout our reception. The video consisted of how we met and then even played the events from earlier that day. He even stayed late to make sure he got everyone having fun at the reception.
GUEST




From the initial meeting in October 2009 we were impressed with the video services offered by Celebrations of Tampa Bay. Randy has a fine eye for detail and excellence in all of his work. He captured all the highlights of the event and we even got to see so many things during the wedding and reception that we didn't even know occurred! The editing of the video showed his extreme talent for videography. The high definition video equipment he used exceeded our expectations--the video was crystal clear, and the sound was amazing! We highly recommend Celebrations of Tampa Bay!!! See our wedding video highlight at the Davis Islands Garden Club here: http://cst.clickstreamtv.net/mpi/cst.html?account=celebrations_of_tampa_bay&clip=&flashVersion=90000&playlist=&realVersion=&route=1&sessionID=M20080604114403D2461&cstSessionID=200254&server=2&speedZone=300&wmpVersion=9

I was very happy with the service i received from them. reasonable prices, take advantage of the online discount too.
GUEST




From the beginning Randy was very helpful. He did a wonderful job videographing our wedding. The video turned out great and he had some really good ideas and got some great candid stuff also on the video. His prices were very reasonable and he did an amazing job! :)
GUEST




WOW!!! Celebrations Of Tampa Bay were the best we enjoyed everybit of working with them Randy was completely the BEST from everything from our love story up until the day of the wedding he was great he really fit rite in with us we enjoyed his presents.. Karen was also so great our engagement photos were AMAZING and in sure our wedding pics will be just as amazing.. Stephine was also great to work with she had great patients with me the last few weeks leading up to the wedding i called her bout everyday and she was also ways so nice every time.. Everyone was great Celebrations Of Tampa Bay will be my first choice!!
GUEST




Randy was great! Very friendly and easy to work with! He even went above and beyond and put up a film screen for our guests to watch at the reception of the wedding ceremony! I would recommend him to everyone I know! Thank you again!
GUEST




Randy and his crew at Celebrations of Tampa Bay went above and beyond to make our wedding day a memorable and awesome event! Randy is the co-owner and principal videographer. Katie accompanied Randy as the second videographer.The photographer was Rommel and our DJ was Kevin. Stephanie is the office manager.
Every member of the crew/team was extremely personable, friendly, humorous, creative, detail-oriented, and always willing to listen to our wants and likes for various shots and music selection. Every phone call made to Stephanie and Randy was handled very professionally and for the three services we booked, the price CANNOT BE BEAT! And...you get the rights to everything for reproduction purposes!
Included in our particular package was the "Love Story." Randy took us to downtown Tampa approximately six weeks before our wedding to tape a bunch of scenes and our individual interviews based on how my wife and I met and why we want to be together. We saw the "Love Story" for the first time at our reception and my wife began to cry once the music video portion (with a song selected by us) played at the end of the segment. Randy's use of camera angles, excellent editing and storytelling, made that portion particularly memorable. The "Love Story" is highly recommended if not included with your package!
The rehearsal day, Randy came and taped the process while getting cover shots of various parts of the wedding site. He looked as he was having as much fun as the bridal party and many times was virtually invisible. It made everyone who may otherwise be camera-shy feel very comfortable. He even got on the ground for certain shots getting a little dirty in the process! Normally, Randy will also come to the rehearsal dinner to shoot if it's right after the rehearsal; however, our dinner was 3 1/2 hours later and ended up being a non-issue for us.
On the wedding day, Randy and Rommel spent time with my wife and her entourage as they were getting ready at the DoubleTree while Katie spent it with me and my groomsmen at the Embassy Suites. My wife said that Randy and Rommel did an outstanding job making her feel beautiful and relaxed during a time that can be extremely stressful and nerve-racking. They set up shots that we requested with a few of their own that came out fantastic in the proofs. Rommel's creativity with shots and humor added to the fun of the afternoon. He also helped in various ways unrelated to taking pictures like taking the time to set up the steamer my wife had brought. Katie seemed to enjoy spending time with the guys while we were laughing, joking, and dressing up. She took some great shots and made us feel completely comfortable.
Our wedding ceremony went off flawlessly with an excellent wireless microphone that picked up clearly the officiants and our voices. Randy, Katie, and another videographer covered a lot of ground and the finished video shows the effort put in to make each shot perfect. Rommel kept shooting and shooting capturing every important moment. After the ceremony, Rommel and Randy took the important family members aside for shots with us, then with the bridal party. While Rommel was taking shots, Randy and Katie were also taping. The best part was Rommel and Randy's keen ideas for funny poses and making the beginning of the party to come a wonderful time.
Once the party started, Randy and Kevin began their DJing skills to get the crowd on their feet, especially at our introductions, and kept them on their feet throughout the evening. They used most, if not all, our requests for music selections (which we provided on a CD) and kept the atmosphere a lively one. Their choice for music was incredible and even used props for the guests to wear. Again, other crew members (photographer and videographers) were virtually invisible and worked in-tandem with each other so no shots were missed and minimal shots had crew members in them. Kudos to Randy and Rommel for also noticing the sun setting and kindly asking if we wanted to leave the dinner to get those pictures we requested. We may not have eaten most of our wedding day food; however, the pictures we got eclipsed any feeling of hunger at that point!
During various dances (father-daughter, mother-son, etc.) Randy put up a big screen projector to show raw footage of the ceremony taken less than an hour before. The compliments on that part and the "Love Story" itself were numerous from guests and waiting staff at the Rusty Pelican. We never thought we'd see those moments until the finished video, to be honest!
We were fortunate to have been told by all of our guests that this was the "Party of the Year" and it truly could not have been done without Celebrations of Tampa Bay. The photo proofs are outstanding! The video is beyond words and can truly show the passion Randy has for his work since he is the principal editor for all his wedding videos. Every moment was captured perfectly and flows from the beginning "Love Story" to the rehearsal and wedding day to the wedding highlights at the end as if it was a movie. We feel so fortunate and lucky that the pictures and video by Randy's crew captured moments we tend to miss because of the craziness and shortness of the day.
An AMAZING job all around and HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND Celebrations of Tampa Bay for every service on your wedding day!
GUEST




Randy's team at Celebrations of Tampa Bay did an absolutely phenomenal job capturing the most intimate moments at our ceremony, photo site, and reception. Our photographer, Todd, and Videographer, Chris, went beyond any expectations we could have had going into our wedding day. They were extremely personable, and Todd especially impressed not just us as the wedded couple, but our guests as well with his friendly nature! He even took a couple hundred extra shots in the park after our reception was over!
Beyond their great presence on the day of our event, the quality of professionalism and work is more than evident in the shots of us that they captured. They are experienced in this art, and knew just how to get everyone together. Because of them, we are able to forever hold our wedding day not only in our hearts and memories, but on film and there is nothing that can replace that! Not only did we receive personalized discs of our photos and videography(which we have copyrights to) almost immediately after the wedding, but everything was edited to perfection as well! The price is unbeatable, especially for the service and quality of work, and we have already referred this team to two other couples due to our amazing experience. An overall pleasure!
GUEST




They do an amazing job you dont even notice they are there durning the reception, they get beautiful shots, and their videos are awesome!
GUEST




We hired Celebrations only about a month before our wedding b/c we were having issues with the photographer we previously hired. I was so happy that everything went super smooth and I cant wait to see all the pictures our photographer took. We got a chance to tell him what pictures were really important to us and he took that as his number one priority. I would recommend Celebrations to anyone.

I used Celebrations of TpaBay for my DJ & Video service. Their prices are great. The Videographer was a pleasure to work with, the DJ was also very nice. They were both flexible and worked with my rules and restrictions regarding my playlist at the reception. I have yet to get my video but i've seen their work before and i'm sure it will look great.

Our DJ was terrific. He had our group out on the floor dancing in no time... even the wallflowers were shaking their booties!
He was enthusiastic, fun, and had a lot of energy. Many folks commented on how much fun the reception was, and and we have him to thank for a lot of that.

I hired Celebrations of Tampa Bay to DJ, Photograph, and Video my wedding. That is putting a lot of trust into one company! My wedding would not have been half as special or amazing as it was had I not had this company and their services. Everyone says how stressful the wedding can be, how fast it goes, and how you can barely remember it. First off, I didn't have to stress about a thing. They took care of everything. It was actually a blast walking around, taking pictures. Our photographer Todd had everything completely organized and was actually fun.. he added to my excitement and my bridesmaids. And then ideas for pictures? I never even would have thought of half of them.. I was so thrilled. For the DJ services, last minute I had to ask my DJ, Randy, to not only play our reception music in one location, but our ceremony music in another location, and then our cocktail music in another location. He pulled it off with ease and played music that we liked. My biggest fear at the wedding is that it wouldn't be fun and people wouldn't dance. I was worried everyone would be bored. WHen I first walked in.. and how he pulled this off I have no idea... our videographer, CHris, and DJ, had video running on a large screen from the days previous activities ( getting ready with my bridesmaids, taking pictures, the groomsmen, etc..).. it was unbelievable. Throughout dinner i was able to rewatch special moments in the ceremony, what the site looked like before guests got there.. and as the night went on... more got magically added.. and it was all done very artistically! As the night progressed my fears about dancing left me because everyone got up and danced. It was a blast. Before the very last song, Randy replayed Greg and I saying our vows. EVery single person in the room stopped what they were doing and watched. it was amazing.. it brought chills to me and I cried because during the ceremony I was so nervous I didn't pay attention to what my husband had said very well. It has been a week and half since my wedding. My pictures and video are done!!! One week!!! When does that happen? My sister waited 2 months for hers. The pictures are beautiful and the video is the most special memory you could every imagine. I have already played bits that were sent to me on the internet from the company for all of my work mates. I cannot wait to see the final product which is currently in the mail. Thank you so much Randy, Todd, and Chris for making this wedding so much more than I expected.

Kevin did an amazing job at our reception! He was prompt and kept everyone dancing. I would recommend Celebrations for DJ services to anyone!

Randy is the best! He did the love story video and videography for a friend of ours two years ago and I knew then that I wanted to hire him if I ever got married. I'm an entertainment attorney & actor and my husband is a musician, so we know a lot of videographers, but we had to have Randy. He is so passionate about his work. He makes the love story & video fit YOU...our video is so different from our friends'...yet they are both wonderful. He picked such awesome music for the video. He & his photographer were very flexible (we changed the time of the wedding just a few days before the wedding and they were fine about coming early...then the wedding ran late and they were fine about working overtime). We're super busy so we didn't have a chance to tell them what type of shots we wanted & yet they knew exactly what to do and how to direct all of us (I think our wedding party was over 20 people by the way and our guest list was over 300!). We received the cd of all the photos and dvd back within 3 weeks. Lastly, you can't beat the value for cost...it's nice to know that there are people like Randy who bring such joy to your wedding even if you're not rich!

My mother booked Celebrations back in 2002 for my Senior Grad Party, and Randy left such a great impression that we have always kept him in mind. Needless to say, they were the first vendor that we called to book one we were engaged! The team is absolutely amazing, I honesly cannot say enough about them! Stephanie was excellent and always responded immediately to phone calls and e-mails. Our photographer and videographer knew exactly what they were doing, and produced amazing memories for us. Randy is so professional, talented, and fun; you can definitely tell that he is an expert in the business. We were never worried about the flow of the reception because we knew he'd take care of everything, and he did! The music was wonderful, the flow was great, and most importantly, our families and friends had a blast and danced the whole night away! There is no other team out there that can promise so much, and be so affordable. Obviously, we highly recommend Randy and his whole team at Celebrations of Tampa Bay!! Thank you Randy!!!

I can not say enough positive things about Celebrations of Tampa Bay. This company made our wedding photography/videographer/DJ choice easy. My wife and I live in Maryland, but wanted to get married on the beach on the west coast of Florida. We shopped mostly by internet and were lucky to find Celebrations. They made everything simple with easy-to-decide package deals. We used them for ceremony music/DJ/photography/vidoegraphy. Most people think when you do package deals, some aspects of one area is slighted. Well that is certainly not the case. Randy and his team of videographers taped our wedding from four of five different angles, including a sky cam looking over the ceremony. In addition, he had a photographer taking what later became some amazing pictures. I have been apart of some pretty spectacular weddings, but I have never seen a team work together so well as Randy and his team did. As our DJ, Randy was second to none. He paced the evening the way we planned it and did a wonderful job making sure the dance floor was always filled. On top of all this, the most amazing thing that this company creates is known as the Love Story. I have never seen this before and was unsure of howit would turn out, but the final product can not be described by words. It was the highlight of the reception. Everyone, and I mean everyone, thought it was funny, endearing, and just really told the story of our lives. If you want a team that is affordable and will capture your wedding moments in ways that will leave you breathless, then Celebrations of Tampa Bay is the team for you!

We could not have dreamed of a more perfect wedding. A lot of that is due to the amazing talents of Randy and his crew. So many people have commented on how much fun they had at our wedding. It was made memorable by the dedication, professionalism and reliability of the employees at Celebrations of Tampa Bay. The ceremony music was perfect, the ceremony went off with out a hitch. The pictures are priceless. They seemed to capture every single moment of our wedding. The videography is what really impressed us. We are continually amazed at how much footage there is and how well it is put together. The music chosen for our video is perfect and we love watching it over and over. We are so thankful to Randy because he really was the most dedicated person out there. It was as if he were working his own wedding. He wanted everything to be perfect for us and thanks to him, it was. I would recommend this company to anyone and tell them just how stellar their work is! You can not lose with Randy and the gang!

GUEST




Absolutely stellar!!! Every "I" dotted and every "T" crossed. Randy and his team far surpassed our expectations of the perfect D.J., photographer and videographer. As the Mother of the bride, I wanted my daughter and her husband to have the BEST and we all were more than pleased.They are so reasonably priced.Truly, we should have paid double for the work we got. Everytime I watch the video or look at the beautifully done pictures, I realize just how blessed we were to have found Celebrations. I will always feel forever greatful for their dedication to our special day. THANKS
GUEST




We were very impressed with our wedding video! The videographer did everything possible to get great shots. He was amazing and we loved the video!
GUEST




For an all in one company, I was extremely pleased with the quality of service and product. Randy was a wonderful DJ. He kept the party going and played appropriate music throughout the entire reception. Rommele, our photographer, was awesome, very friendly and creative. Our pictures are the best!! Videographer was great, too. Hardly noticed he was there, but he captured everything. Overall we couldnt have asked for better. Everyone did a GREAT job! Also the turn around time in getting the video and digital negatives (which we got to keep) was amazing. We were just back from our honeymoon and they were ready and perfect! I would highly recommend them to everyone!
GUEST




This team was exceptional and their professionalism was absolutely wonderful. They are just great. I could not have asked for a better vendor.

I got a videographer last minute because I decided I couldn't live without it. They were pretty cheap and I am not satisfied. First off my name is spelled wrong on the dvd cover and on the dvd opening! Second they recorded footage of the wedding party being announced at the reception but stopped recording when the bride and groom were announced. The quality is mediocore. I am glad I have something though. I recently watched the dvd on our anniversary to relive that day.
Vendor response to review
We spell the name according to how it is listed on the Contract, with that being said we would have been more than happy to change the spelling had the customer notified us about it. This wedding was 7 years ago, I think if you look at our current videos at www.CelebrationsofTampaBay.com you'll be pretty impressed.

This company is what made my wedding day fantastic! They included a DJ, a photographer, and videographer! All three had a wonderful system and worked together to make things run smoothly! I didn't have to worry about a thing. The DJ was unbelievably fantastic! He was hilarious and had my entire crowd dancing ALL night long. My wedding was over 2 years ago and people are still talking about how much fun it was and how they wish it did end. The photographs came out beautiful and they gave us tons of them. The video was personalized and was not only funny but romantic. Because of this group we will be able to cherish our wedding day for years to come. I highly recommend this group to anyone getting married in the Tampa bay area. They make things very convenient for you. They are very flexible, supportive, and easy to reach. They are very deserving of their 5 stars all around! Thank you Celebrations of Tampa Bay for making my wedding day perfect!

Top notch wedding company. Very nice people and extremely easy to work with.
I had the pleasure of working with Randy and the staff from Celebrations of Tampa Bay at a unique Hawaiian wedding. They were professional but oh so much fun. Randy is a great DJ and kept everyone dancing for the duration of the reception. Thank you for being such a wonderful vendor to work with!
I always enjoy working with Celebrations of Tampa Bay! They are very professional and their service and prices are excellent!
I have always thought Randy of Celebrations of Tampa to be one of the best wedding companies around. Video, DJ and Photo; thumbs up for Celebrations.
Beyond Floral (after nearly 10 years observing many talents) can say--These are Professionals who deliver every time. I can recommend Randy for DJ, photographer and videography. His expertise and natural ability to stir a party into full swing is very unique and impressive. I've seen him more than once, turn a room full of non-dancers into the party event of their lifetime. With photography, his team has not dissapointed.... The importance of each of these cannot be underscored enough. Brides choose carefully! Any really talented group as these at Celebrations of Tampa Bay, will make your party one to remember -in a good way. Again, we've yet to come across a more talented, fun inspiring DJ, perfect for any wedding celebration. If you are lucky enough to get Randy to book for your event, you'll be happy you did! So will your guests! We whole heartedly recommend.

FAQ for Celebrations Tampa Bay Photographers, Videographers, DJs
A High End Photographer also has to have the unique ability to move people around, deal with interruptions, and do so in a friendly, yet timely manner. It takes communication skills, to direct and guide them, with a servant attitude. The more time wasted during the Formals, the fewer shots you will get, and the more time your guests will be waiting at the reception. In order to do this, he or she has to be in good physical shape to be able to move equipment quick enough so as to not miss out on anything. He has to have a good ‘work ethic”. You will hear the word “photojournalism” used a lot. A true “photojournalistic photographer” has the ability to anticipate action so as to be in the right place at the right time. Most inexperienced photographers do not understand what photojournalism is, they think it’s just taking candid shots, but there is a lot more to it than that. An Artistic Photographer has to see beyond the surface, to make something ordinary, extraordinary.
In order ensure we are meeting the changing needs of today’s brides our photographers learn from each other by exchanging ideas. We keep up on the latest technology and education by attending conferences. Unlike some companies who casually hire contractors, we have a Photography Manager who assists with their constant development. We also learn by having you the bride evaluate us with customer satisfaction survey forms. Look at our photo galleries and judge for yourself. At Celebrations of Tampa Bay you’ll get a photographer who has a passion to serve you with Excellence.
