Copy of the wedding wire review; 5.0/5.0 Quality of Service: 5.0 Responsiveness: 5.0 Professionalism: 5.0 Value: 5.0 Flexibility: 5.0 Heather said... I received a few quotes for wedding day photography before contacting Marcia and I should have just started with Marcia first! Marcia was so patient with me when I explained my budget and made a few suggestions to the first quote she sent over. Marcia happily agreed and made the contract process super easy and efficient. I made a few adjustments to the contract after a few months passed due to some changes with the venue and Marcia again was so patient with me and happily agreed to the changes. Marcia went above and beyond on our wedding day! We walked through all of the details a few weeks before and she spoke to me as if I had never been through the process before which I truly needed and appreciated! At the end of the day, I got way more photos than I ever could have dreamed of. I also received a link to my photography website two weeks after the wedding! Two weeks is unheard of! And I received my USB drive with high res photos not longer after that! On my wedding day, I was relieved because Marcia and her staff were familiar with my venue and she made all of the decisions for me, which is EXACTLY what I asked her to do. I wanted someone with experience at the venue so they could easily guide and customize the photo areas based on weather and lighting. Also, I am pretty sure she and her amazing assistant stayed way longer than they were supposed to and I am forever grateful for that! Highly recommend! Marcia is a true professional and does great work! Thank you! Heather & Brendan Wedding: 04/15/2017 Services Used: Photography Reviewed On: 05/17/2017

Mike & Jimmie

5.0 star rating, a copy from a yelp review! Can't imagine a better choice for our wedding-- I could not recommend this dynamic duo more enthusiastically. We used Joe Toto as the DJ, on a recommendation from a friend who said that she had been to a wedding he DJed where no one sat down the entire time. It's true! From the very first moment, Joe read the room extremely well, understood what did and didn't work, and literally kept people (from hipsters to grandmas to ring bearers) on their feet almost the entire night. He also read the cues from the bride and groom very well and responded very quickly to our feedback. At least 25 guests have told us that our wedding was "the most high energy wedding they had ever been to" and we had well over 3/4 of our guests dancing all night long. Similarly, have nothing but good things to say about Marcia's photography. She was extremely non-intrusive-- we didn't even know she was there most of them time -- and nonetheless captured the most intimate and special moments of our wedding day. She sent us the pictures in an extremely timely manner and we are so thankful we went w her! Using Joe and Marcia together also made the package much mroe affordable than it would have been otherwise. Thank you! Mike & Jimmie

"We would highly recommend Photography by Marcia to anyone we know who is getting married or just looking for a great photographer. Marcia and her team were phenomenal. The pictures came out better than we could have expected. They worked well with the large group to make sure we got all the pictures we wanted and were still able to enjoy the event. They also got those great detail shots. Ashley & Nathaniel" Seaport Hotel Boston 01-04-14

Carla & Mike

I would highly recommend Marcia and her team to do your wedding pictures. Marcia is very friendly and outgoing. She is very detail oriented. She was extremely friendly, helpful, and made us feel comfortable when we met with her. The day of the wedding everything went very smooth. She captured every single moment. Previous to the wedding Marcia does research on your style and the type of pictures you would like to have. I find this AMAZING that she takes the time to know who you are before the wedding. Family and friends were extremely satisfied with the job she did. I love the fact that she gives you a slide show within days after the wedding. We couldn't be happier with the decision we made to have Marcia and her team at our wedding!!!! Marcia rocks!! Thank you so much!! We loved your work sooo much!!! Best, Carla and Mike

Julie & Brian

Hello Marcia & Peter, Brian and I are back from our honeymoon & recovering from holiday craziness, but wanted to thank you both SO much for making our wedding day the best of our lives (thus far, at least!!). Marcia - you & your staff were so professional and courteous - full of great, creative photo ideas... You were so wonderful to work with.....I was so excited, nervous & stressed before the ceremony but you managed to make me feel so at ease and I know that will shine through in the photos with my girls & family. We loved watching, crying & laughing over our DVD with family over the holidays, which really captured the great vibe of the evening (along with some memorable dancing, courtesy of my father & some of the older ladies at the reception).Peter - when we mentioned to you that we wanted the dance floor to "feel like one of our early 1990's middle school dances" you not only delivered, but truly went above & beyond...there were people dancing at our wedding that we never saw on the dance floor at their OWN weddings! You really set the bar high now for all future events..people have been talking about how great the music was for over a month now!Thank you both so very much again...the day would not have been complete with out your services & the wonderful staff at the Villa.Here's to a happy, healthy & productive 2011 and we cannot wait to recommend Groove to all of our family & friends who are planning celebrations in the coming years.All the Best,Julie & Brian

Steffany & Geoff

OMG booking GROOVEEVENTS.US was by far the best choice Geoff and I made. Let me start off with Marcia: She is the BEST.! I havent seen my pictures yet, but can only imagine they will be perfect. she was so helpful and even took on the roll of my MOH from time to time she made sure I was comfortable.Franco: our Videographer is AMAIZING, he has a bubbly personality and is sooo talented I already saw a sneak peak of a video he created and it looks out od this world.. people are commenting on the quality and how the video makes you feel like you were there... cant wait to see more.. Joe: He is the BEST he kept everyone on the dance floor, he was respectful and fun, everyone is comenting on what a great entertainment he provided... He also provided the lighting and sheers and Boy did my wedding look out of a magazine.. he also provided live music for the ceremony, that was a really nice and romantic touch. In conclusion I was sooo Happy with everything and reccomend them to anyone that;s looking for the Best of everything on their wedding day. Steffany & Geoff

Therese & Joe

I would recommend Marcia Toto to anyone looking for a talented photographer to capture a special occasion. Marcia photographed my wedding day and I could not be more pleased with the final product. Not only is the quality of Marcia’s photos outstanding, but her professionalism throughout the day was impeccable. She was a lovely addition to the wedding party! Marcia never failed to accommodate any of my requests, including the style of photography I preferred. When my husband and I saw the photos of our wedding, we were thrilled that Marcia’s photographs captured not only the events of the day, but also the joy and emotion we were feeling. I am forever grateful. -Therese and Joe.

Emily & Paul

Marcia I wanted to thank you and your team for our beautiful wedding pictures. There are no words to fully describe what they mean to us. Our day was so busy and it felt like we didn't have a moment to take it all in. Your pictures gave us the chance to relive our favorite moments and to see the ones we missed. I was speechless and teary eyed when I saw how your photographs captured the moments and feelings of that day so flawlessly. With your warm personality and artistic direction, I was able to feel relaxed and really enjoyed getting my picture taken (something I have always disliked!). Thank you so much for sharing in our day and for giving us the MOST beautiful pictures. Love, Emily and Paul

Michelle & Angel

We couldn't be happier. Marcia was phenomenal! She was very professional and took exactly the type of pictures we had discussed when we met. She had a second photographer who was also unbelievable. It was great because he took pictures of the groom and the groomsmen and she could just focus on the me before the wedding. I wanteed a lot of artsy pictures with my flowers and rings and she captured everything I wanted! We had such a great time the day of the wedding. We couldn't believe the pictures she got throughout the night because you didn't even realize she was there at the reception. We got a YouTube slideshow preview of the pictures about a week after the wedding and all of our pictures not even a month after the wedding! The quality of the pictures are unreal. She captured all the true emotions and happiness of the day. I keep telling everyone they look like magazine photos! The photographer is one of the most important parts of your wedding because it's the pictures you will have for a lifetime. She exceeded my expectations. The only regret you will have is if you don't go through Marcia for photography! Michelle

Ornette & Cosmo

To Marcia - Thank you for the honor of having you photograph our wedding day. We saw a sneak peek of a few pictures on your blog and Cosmo and I can't wait to see them all. You and your assistant were amazing and you made us feel really at ease. We loved that you were always available to snap shots of us or our family at any point in time. I especially enjoyed you being in the dressing room taking pictures of the little things such as my shoes, my dress, and my bouquet. Thank you so much for making our day a wonderful one.To The videographer - We never got your name, and that's because you were so great at what you did. You blended into the crowd very well and we had no idea that you were there until we actually scanned teh room for you. We can't wait to see the video. Thank you for all your help. You were awesome. We had a superb time on our wedding day and this is all because of the Groove Entertainment Team. Thanks again and we look forward to working with you in the future.Hi Marc, Thank you so much for your help with all the entertainment provided by Groove Entertainment. Cosmo and I had such a blast at our wedding. From the first day, I was floored by how welcoming you were. You made every decision that could have been difficult, very easy for us and we were able to have our wedding day be as fun abd exciting as we dreamed.. We loved working with you. Joe and his team are very lucky to have you on board. To Joe - We could not have had a better DJ! Thank you! The music was awesome and your energy was super exciting. We felt very lucky to have the best of the best playing at our wedding. Great songs just kept on coming. Our family had a blast dancing; especially my flower girls. Nylah loved being DJ for a few minutes and talked about that experience for days. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you for making my wedding day one filled with exciting memories and lots of dancing. Sincerely Ornette and Cosmo Nicastro

Marcia was an excellent photographer. She was thorough and very friendly. Instantly put us at ease and made our special day that much more fun. Her photos and designs look amazing. My husband and I can't say enough good things about her and her assistant.

Taylor

Marcia was amazing! She really worked to understand how I wanted my wedding pictures to look instead of just doing it how she wanted,which some photographers do. Marcia had amazing suggestions an really took her time to get to know me and my style! Not to mention her great suggestion to stop in Boston for a few photos with the bridal party and families thos at THE BEST pictures and most of them were my favorites! She made the process easy and quick.. Getting the pictures up online, in a slide show and sent to me within just a couple weeks!!! I can't wait to see my album which a designed and sent to me for edits twice and met with me to review before sending out to make sure it was perfect! Marcia was great and I would absolutely recommend her to use at anyone's wedding!Taylor M. J

Emma & Roland

Hi Marcia! I received the package and the pictures are BEAUTIFUL!!! You were able to capture many of the moments that I want to keep fresh in my mind forever. And the video montage was very nice I appreciated it tremendously. You guys were wonderful and I will not hesitate to recommend you to friends and family. I will definitely keep you in mind for the next special occasion. Thanks Emma and Ronald

Michael & Nina

Dear Joe, Marcia, Peter, Amanda and the entire Groove Entertainment crew, I hope all is well and happy new year! I just wanted to send a huge THANK YOU for making our wedding the best day ever! After coming back from beautiful Jamaica I finally had some time to reflect on our wedding day. I want to start off by thanking Peter Dioziwho really convinced me to use Groove - his professionalism was outstanding!We ended up getting the WHOLE package (lighting, DJ, photography and videography) Looking back at all of the pictures Marcia and the team took are just fabulous. Since your wedding day is a busy and crazy day sometimes you can’t remember everything that you want to do. At the end of the day I thought that I did not take a picture of my family (my husband, our daughter and I) When I got the pictures back and started going through them, one of the first pictures that I saw was a picture of the three of us…I started to tear up. I was SO happy Marcia got this shot!!!! I think I have looked at our pictures and video hundreds of times. The day of the wedding I did noticed at how engaged everyone from the company was that was at Danversport. From Marcia snapping shots, Joe getting on the dance floor and even some other Groove members getting the party going. I couldn’t be happier they way everything turned out. Not only did I receive the best experience but I feel like I gained some new friends. Everyone at Groove is so easy to talk to and I would HIGHLY recommend them to any of my friends or family. I know I will be keeping in touch with all of you. Thank you again! Michael & Nina

Jessica

Amazing! Marcia and her second shooter came to my parent’s house before the wedding while the girls were getting ready and were wonderful. They were professional and thoughtful and really set the tone for a stress free atmosphere. While Marcia & Masao were with us, a third photographer was at the church to snap pictures of the boys before the ceremony. Having photographers at both locations prior to the ceremony was a great recommendation by Marcia. After the ceremony we were dreading the photo hour before the reception because we just wanted to get the party started. We had a large bridal party of 16 (not including us and our parents) and as you can imagine things can easily get confusing, overwhelming, and hectic with so many people. Marcia handled the big group flawlessly and we flew through the photo hour and had a blast during it. We were pleasantly surprised to say the least! We have already received our wedding photos back (and a great you-tube slideshow) and we couldn't be happier with the results. So much work is put into your wedding day and after it's over you are only left with your memories and photos. Marcia and her team were a pleasure to work with and truly captured every amazing moment and emotion of our special day! I highly recommend Photography by Marcia. Jessica
