What birthday hosts are saying
Real reactions from recent parties.
I recently worked with Kris at Milestone Slideshows and found the whole experience simple and straightforward from start to finish! If only I was a little more decisive in the first place I wouldn't have been such a pain for Kris, but he was super patient with all my swapping and changing of pictures and songs! The end result brought both laughter and tears, the perfect response for a 1st Birthday slideshow. Thanks again Kris, memories to treasure forever!

Patience, Tears, and Laughter
Milestone Slideshows created an outstanding, beautiful memory for my daughter's 22nd birthday. I surprised my daughter, Amanda, with a slide show made by Kris Bayne of Milestone Slideshows. I will never top this gift !! The memory of when Amanda received the slideshow will be forever treasured. When the slideshow began she cried happy tears that started small. This grew into many, many happy tears. Priceless!! The professional assistance of Kris Bayne made this possible. To anyone with very little computer knowledge, Kris will guide you through the process not only with e mails but also phone assistance. No question is too small and he explained details clear to me. Kris used two songs with pictures ranging from infancy to my daughter's college years. The effects he used were unpredictable yet smooth. When watching the slideshow, there is a sense of anticipation. I highly recommend Milestone Slideshows to create a perfect gift. Therese Leibham

I wanted to have a slideshow made for my granddaughter's 2nd birthday and wanted it done right so I contacted Milestone Slideshows having never worked with them before. Kris was my slideshow producer and he made the experience absolutely amazing. Not only was he very timely in responding to me, he was conscience of what I was looking for in my slideshow. He was also very patient with me regarding my SEVERAL questions and edits ! I highly recommend Milestone Slideshows if you are looking for a professional, accommodating company to make your memories beautiful.
