Stark Weddings

Andrew and Emma captured our special day on 11th May and couldn’t have wished for better photographers! They were great people to be around and we barely noticed they were there. Andrew knew exactly what shots to get and I know they both captured elements of the day that we missed. I can’t wait to see the full album and watch our video back. Such a magical day and really pleased that we chose Stark Weddings to make our memories last forever! More...

Andrew and Emma photographed our wedding this Nov, they were the ultimate professionals and captured all the little details and the vibe of our wedding so well, as well as catching some absolutely epic shots that will remind us of our day forever, we can't thank them enough. As well as taking wonderful photos, they are lovely people, I will forever be thankful to Emma for wrapping me in her jacket with her so we could get a final few shots once it went dark and the unseasonable good weather has disappeared. I highly recommend Stark Wedding to anyone, (they will travel), who wants wonderful photos of there day but without overdemanding photographers who won't allow you to enjoy it. More...

Amazing team, they helped produce impeccable pictures of my magical day. To capture the detail and emotion on all of our faces the way they did was on a whole new level. I couldn’t thank them enough on the work they produced, the meetings they held with us to capture every detail that needed to be caught and just the overall communication. With it being a upbeat fast Indian wedding there whole knowledge and speed of work was just incredible. I couldn’t thank them enough and we will most certainly be returning to them for more photos in the near future! TEAM STARK WEDDINGS!! More...

Marie and her team are outstanding, I could not be more pleased with the outcome of my big day. Marie 100% knows what she is doing, trust her process. Marie knows how to manage any event request, she can multitask like no one I've ever seen, all while being the most calm and sweet lady. During my wedding there were some unforeseen (unfortunate) high stress moments and Marie went above and beyond to smooth things over and to make sure my husband and I had the best night of our lives (she obviously was not expected to put out fires with crazy in-laws, but she stepped right up). Marie is a class act and deserves 10 stars, I absolutely love her. More...

We hired Marie to be our day of coordinator for our wedding. I felt like I pretty much had everything planned, but needed a little help and someone to keep everything in order the day of. Marie was great. A couple of weeks before the wedding we FaceTimed to do a timeline and she helped me realize some things I had forgotten. She came to instruct our rehearsal and even gave my brother, who was officiating for the first time, a script that he could use. She was in contact with all of my vendors and had our wedding day run smoothly. My husband and I were a little preoccupied during the wedding, but my parents told me Marie was running around taking care of things. If there were any problems, my husband and I sure didn't know about them. Marie made sure to assure me that things were going well and she even made sure that we had hordourves and a drink waiting for us when we returned from our pictures. We highly recommend Marie for your day of coordinator! More...

Marie and her team did an amazing job with our wedding. She not only coordinated the event but also officiated the ceremony. The ceremony was heartfelt and everything we wanted it to be. Leading up to the wedding Marie was always helpful and continued to reassure me that our big day would be perfect. We hired Marie as our day of coordinator, so although she was not responsible for planning the entire event she did a great job of guiding me along the way and always had helpful advice and was more than willing to help with anything I needed. She and her team definitely know what they're doing, I myself am a bit of a control freak, as many brides are I'm sure, I found it hard to trust someone else with this event. However once I stopped doubting the process Marie definetly brought it all together beautifully. I had my reservation after reading some prior reviews that weren't the best, however Marie personally responded to each negative review and addressed the claimed complaint. I think a lot of people who hire a day of coordinator don't fully understand that you're hiring just that a "DAY OF" coordinator. She is there to help you along the way and really becomes involved the few weeks leading up to your event and then on the day of it's her time to shine. We had a couple snags the day of and she handled them all on her own and didn't even involve us in it, as to not create stress for us. Overall, Marie is great at helping create your dream wedding, follows your vision and puts it into place, she is pleasant to work with and takes great pride in her work. My event wouldn't have been what it was without her. More...

Andrew and Emma covered photography and videography for our wedding on 7th July 2017 at Alrewas Hayes. They were the only supplier we looked at after meeting them at an Alrewas Hayes Wedding Fayre. We knew instantly from looking at their work that we had to have them capture our wedding day. They are extremely professional but at the same time put Jake and I at ease as we both shy away from the camera normally. Having met a couple of days before our wedding, we all knew how the day was going to go and everything flowed. 100% recommend them for any occasion! More...

Would like to start by saying a huge thanks to Andrew and his team for their amazing work on the 28th of October 2017 with regards to our hindu ceremony and evening reception at Ladywood estate Leicestershire.

Firstly the professionalism shown was brilliant as well as their attention to detail (including capturing all of the important rituals during the hindu ceremony).
Throughout the day and night the team were always on hand to capture all of the special moments (us as a couple as well as family and friends).

We would highly recommend Stark weddings photography for your special occasion(s).
They understood and appreciated the traditions of a hindu ceremony and feedback from guests were all positive with regards their interactions with the guys.

Again we thank you for your professionalism and attention to detail on the day.

Marie was INCREDIBLE!! She is extremely organized, detail oriented, punctual, and reliable. My wedding planning process was so easy and relaxing thanks to her, and my wedding was absolutely PERFECT. She had an itinerary for my wedding weekend typed up (seriously the most detailed and amazing itinerary I've ever seen) which displayed down to the minute how the weekend would go (rehearsal, getting ready, pictures, ceremony, reception, cake cutting, father/daughter dance, toasts, exit, etc), and not only did that relieve so much anxiety for me, but she made sure everything was running smoothly and according to the schedule. All I had to do was show up and have fun! Also, during my reception she made sure my husband and I always had a plate of food and that I always had a glass of champagne in hand (whiskey for my husband!). It honestly felt like there were 10 of her at the reception because she was literally taking care of EVERYTHING. If you're looking for a wedding planner that will cover all the bases and meet all of your expectations, Marie is your girl. My wedding day was the best day of my life and Marie played a HUGE role in that being the case. Thank you so much, Marie. More...

Marie was AMAZING as my day-of-coordinator at my wedding. I planned my wedding myself so I had been the point person for everything but she took the reins seamlessly on the day of so I could step back and enjoy the day.

Marie and her amazing team put together a fabulous wedding for us this past January. While it was a small wedding, she put so much design effort into it that we were amazed when we opened the doors to the reception area. Our family and friends are still calling and commenting on the spectacular wedding event. Most importantly, we were actually able to enjoy our wedding. This would not have ever been possible without a team of people thinking of all those crazy little details and managing them with such professionalism, skill, and expertise. They thought of us, even when we didn't know to think of ourselves. My husband says that choosing Marie was the not really a choice for me.. but a choice to keep him (the groom) sane through the process. For me, I say how fabulous it is to be surrounded by all the people you love on your wedding day and to be able to enjoy the event without stress because I have every confidence in the world that Marie Stark and her team has it 100% covered. Those things are priceless on one of the most important days of your life. They've become very special people to us. More...

She recommended her husband for photography, and she set up my wedding dress appointment and went with me to help me find the perfect dress! I ended up choosing the first dress I tried on! Only 4% of brides buy the first dress they try on! Marie just knew my style, selected the perfect local boutique, and went with me! She has been such a source of advise and expertise!

We hired Marie as our day of coordinator for our November 2017 wedding and could not have been happier with her. She was referred to us from a friend and I’ll definitely refer her to anyone. From our very first conversation she made us feel at ease. She was quick to respond to emails, texts, and phone calls. Even though we only hired her as a day of coordinator she was always helpful in providing vendor referrals or general wedding planning knowledge. Leading up to the wedding, she coordinated with all our vendors and got everyone organized. She created a detailed schedule for the big day and distributed it to all our vendors. Even when one particular vendor was difficult to communicate with she took care of everything and always made sure we were stress free. The day of the wedding ran absolutely smoothly! Our church provided their own wedding coordination team as well and Marie was such a team player. I’m not sure what we would have done without her! More...

So many things came up last minute and throughout the day and she gracefully dealt with everything while I was none the wiser. All I know that my reception was beautiful and fun and that was thanks to Marie. My favorite memory is that Marie took the initiative to redo my wedding ceremony that the church, let's say botched. She wasn't having it and provided me a beautiful garden ceremony (as she is also ordained) where we could say our vows and truly feel the moment. Thanks Marie!

On the day of our wedding, our Hawaiian Ice vendor wasn't serving the ice cream we had requested (and paid extra for).
