WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Lan Parker Weddings
“The impact that Kalli’s Shiraz Garden vendor list had and still continues to have on my business was a game changer. Being new to the Austin wedding industry felt intimidating in the beginning. Being on the vendor list created a "funnel" type of effect on my leads and bookings. Every time I have an inquiry that says Shiraz Garden in the email, I immediately know these are people I want to work with. It's honestly been one of the biggest blessings in my business. I have since moved to Houston, Texas, but I still continue to make the journey back to Shiraz every year because it's always worth it.”
Events by Leslie
“Being a preferred vendor of Shiraz Garden and Kalli has impacted my business in a tremendously positive way. I receive countless amounts of referrals, which usually result in bookings because of the confidence Kalli conveys to the couples before they even reach out. Being a Preferred Vendor has led to exponential growth in my business. Which I am so grateful for.”

“Working with Kalli has been a wonderful experience and an even greater opportunity for my business. Working with her to understand the “politics” of a Recommended Vendor list gave me greater understanding of how to benefit the venue, planner, and other vendors throughout the year and through my galleries. Now I’m a Recommended Photographer at several venues that I want to work at and keep my inbox full of qualified referrals.”
Rhonda K Photograhy
Micah is extremely talented, knowledgeable and organized. She’s an amazing teacher, kind and patient. At Micah’s workshop I learned so much about the business we all love. I left the workshop with new knowledge and inspiration to further my business and improve my skill as a photographer. I now own a thriving family photography business!
