Awarded Best of Zola
We were lucky enough to have The Hook Club as our dj and band at our wedding. Dan and the team were so easy to work with and took the time to get to know us and throw an amazing show on our big day. We’re 2 brides and it was important for us to find a diverse and queer band. There were no other bands that even came close. They’re such talented musicians and downright awesome people. We’ve even become friends with several members of the band after we started working with them. We had envisioned classical strings during our ceremony, a jazzy upbeat vibe during cocktail hour, and a bumping dance party during the reception. The Hook Club was able make that all come true with their amazing cast of skilled musicians. They even helped logistically during the reception in terms of advising us to break up toasts so that there aren’t too many all at once. So many people came up to us to tell us how rad the band was. If you’re on their page, look no further. This is your band.

I reached out to Tara with limited notice (just over a month) for my wedding asking for a musician to collaborate with and accompany my husband's aunt, with whom he wouldn't have a chance to practice in person. Tara immediately connected me with Frank, who was ON IT. The booking process was organized and easy. Furthermore, my husband's aunt reported that Frank was easy to collaborate with and incredibly professional.

Hi! I’m Justin (he/him) and I’m here to affirm your love, make you feel like a fucking rockstar, and dance like a total fool. Oh, and take so many gorgeous photos of y’all. Obvs. My style blends both documentary photojournalism and fine art photography: coaching folks who are shy in front of the camera, then stepping back to capture authentic moments uninterrupted. I’ve been lucky enough to have my work published by A Practical Wedding, The New York Times, GLAMOUR, People Magazine and many other fabulous outlets. I'm a stereotypical Capricorn that loves drag shows, campy horror films, every dog I meet, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

We can’t say enough wonderful things about Justin! My husband and I just got the first batch of our wedding photos, and they look exactly the way the day felt: beautiful, warm, and authentically happy. From our first call, it was clear Justin understood exactly what we wanted from our wedding photos, and from our wedding in general. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, he was kind, respectful, and genuinely interested in getting to know us. By the day of the wedding, we were excited to hang out with him and introduce him to our friends! Justin and Emily made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, and even managed to get our 2 year-old nephew to stand still long enough for some great photos. Working with Justin was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

I honestly have no idea how I would have managed the wedding day without Natalie’s help. I absolutely loved working with her prior to the big day itself—her positive energy paired with incredible organizational skills made the process of organizing all the vendors and scheduling everything a breeze! She truly went above and beyond to ensure that everything went smoothly prior and on the wedding day itself. From contacting all the vendors to helping me decorate the dining table at the venue the eve before the wedding—Natalie was truly there for me every step of the way! And I can’t say enough great things about her managing the day itself and ensuring that everyone was in time despite us getting married during an actual hurricane in NYC with flooded subways and insane traffic! I mean, even with everything going on we weren’t a second late for anything, and the day was super smooth all thanks to her! Whenever I forgot something (including rings for the ceremony lol) Natalie would magically produce everything right that instant—I really don’t know what I would do without her! Huge thanks to Natalie and GTHR for the perfectly organized, stress-free and overall best wedding ever!

Awarded Best of Zola
I want to start the review off by saying that the hair and makeup of the women looked great. Loretta and Nina did a great job. Loretta was incredibly professional, kind, and worked hard to ensure the look we wanted for our day was translated across each member of our wedding party. The reason I gave three stars in professionalism is due to the way I was treated by Nina. We were in a small AirBnB attached to our venue that had a separate counter space with two chairs and access to another large counter space for them to work. In the first five minutes the stylists were there, Nina said to me, "This won't work." I asked why, and she responded with "Come on guys, you need to get us what we need to work." I stated that I was not able to get into the venue for another 2 hours, but could try to find a solution and then asked again why this space with two large counter spaces and chairs wouldn't work. She then stated "I am a professional in what I do and you are not, so get me what I need." I was incredibly frustrated with that response, especially with how much we were paying for their services. She asked my woman of honor where the bride was getting ready who then told her that it was actually two grooms, and that I was one of the grooms. She immediately changed her tune with me after that. I do want to note that Loretta told me she could make it work and that it wouldn't be a problem. I would book with JVALLDI Styling again, but would request that Nina would not be the stylist.

From the moment we booked her, Emma was extremely responsive, helpful, and attentive to detail.

Jason approaches all weddings with his playwriting background: What is the couple’s version of their most beautiful story to be told?

Awarded Best of Zola
Jason and Giovanni and team were excellent. They came highly recommended, so we felt good right away, and even still they blew us out of the water. Getting every detail just right, taking each little (or big) thing off our plate, and plenty of things we never saw coming. For example, halfway through the night, a cousin came up and said she was having a great time, but she might have to leave early. The zipper had broken on her dress, and if she needed to use the restroom, she'd essentially have to rip her dress, and her evening would be over. Well, in swooped Jason and Giovanni with their 'Wedding Emergency Kit.' They whisked her away, FIXED THE DRESS, and she stayed until the end of the evening. We had a big wedding with lots of moving parts, none of which fazed Jason in the slightest. We could not have pulled off our dream wedding without him, and cannot recommend him and his team highly enough.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you are looking for an incredibly talented, professional, warm and creative wedding photographer then look no further. My husband and I feel so, so lucky to have worked with Celeste for our February 2022 wedding! We initially hired Celeste for our Brooklyn wedding planned for June 2020. After multiple postponements and major changes to our original plans, we settled on a February 2022 wedding in Marietta, GA. Celeste was an absolute gem through all of these changes, always super accommodating and understanding. Celeste is incredibly talented and shot absolutely gorgeous moments we are so lucky that she captured! She really goes out of her way to ensure a flawless experience. For instance, the day before our wedding, she scoped out the location for our "first look" and organized a shot list of different locations around the square that would make phenomenal backdrops. And they truly were- are now some of our favorite shots! Celeste is so friendly, warm, and just lovely to work with from start to finish. My sister also hired her for her engagement photos and had an equally superb experience! I look forward to working with Celeste again. Thank you for helping us preserve our wedding day memories so beautifully, Celeste!!

Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. Summing up who I am in an "about me" is always difficult. What you must know: (1) I'm a nerd. If you want to talk video games, LOTR or Doctor Who, we HAVE to sit down for a bourbon or a coffee. (2) Yes, I will be out on that dance floor with you snapping away while joining in on the fun. And (3), while I'm a photographer first, supporting you during the planning process feels crucial to me - from building a timeline to having your back any way I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
It’s somehow already been over a year since we got married, and any time our wedding gets brought up, Mary is the first topic. How wonderful she is, how out-of-this-world talented she is, how much we wish we could be photographed by her again. To only reflect on how accommodating and professional Mary is (and she is) would be a disservice to all of the other things she brought to our day. Ultimately Mary ended up feeling like a vital organ to us. She gave clear direction for a shot, while always managing to let us be completely natural. She felt so intimately a part of each moment, while somehow still cultivating a feeling of total privacy. I also can’t tell you the number of times that either my wife or I couldn’t find our purse, shoes, bouquet, etc. only for Mary to already have it in her hands. She was our constant, our steadying force. We asked Mary to capture our totally sincere obsession with each other in the most organic way possible, and she delivered in spades. I could go on and on, because truly I have never felt more beautiful than in these wedding photos, but the moral of the story is, just hire Mary for everything you want captured in its truest form. You wont be disappointed.

I'm Claire. I opened WedWell in 2014 after I had a terrible experience with the planner for my wedding (which is why I aim for a low stress, high fun planning environment). With over a decade of experience in events, it was time that I started helping couples through the wedding planning process. I love all things weddings: the couples, the venues, the uniqueness, the love, the families, the vows, the toasts, the dancing, the photo booths, the cake (well, any dessert really). I love working with all couples because I truly believe love is love. So let's get started!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you're looking/need to hire a planner to coordinate your wedding day or weekend, look no further than WedWell (aka Claire). Claire will make sure that your wedding day proceeds seamlessly, no matter the weather and regardless of the upredictable challenges that inevitably arise. We initially interviewed Claire because of her excellent reviews from diverse couples across multiple wedding platforms. It quickly became clear that she had earned these positive reviews, and we were pleased to bring her onto our vendor team. Indeed, hiring Clarie was one of our best wedding decisions. She is responsive, organized, and personable. To that end, she quickly connected with a team of vendors, most of whom she had not worked with before, and responded to our emails in 36 hours, no matter the day of the week. Also, her vendor recommendations were very strong (our photographer and DJ were next level). In the days leading up to the wedding, Claire took over all of the logistics, and handled pretty much every communication with the venue and our various vendors--we barely had to do a thing. More importantly, once the big weekend had actually arrived, everything was easy. It rained much of our wedding day, but Claire helped us adjust our schedule on the fly to take advantage of the good weather for pictures. We even had somebody come to the wedding who we did not invite--and we did not hear a thing about it until after the ceremony, when the guest introduced herself to us. Claire had adjusted the seating and escorted the guest to the appropriate table. In sum, planning a wedding is an endeavor and we feel lucky we had Claire to make it the best party it could be.

They planned our wedding from top to bottom in under 3 months time, everything from design, personalized touches, venue and day of coordination. Their phenomenal wedding planner Deanne even found my dream wedding dress.

I NEVER write reviews but I felt compelled to because the Virgo in me knows how difficult and anxious I can be but they kept me calm and assured us that everything would be beautiful and they did not disappoint.

Lucas took our wedding reception to a whole different level with his DJ skills and selections! His friendly and calm demeanor made communication very easy and stress-free. We also felt that he genuinely cared about and understood our vision, and then executed it perfectly. The highest compliment is that countless wedding guests told us during/after the reception that Lucas was "the best DJ they've ever heard at a wedding" -- we couldn't agree more. Do yourself and your guests a favor, book Lucas.

I knew from our first message exchange that Shelby was the right choice for our us. She’s so down to Earth and was always on the same page as us. The photo shoot itself was a ton of fun, and spending that time with her was like hanging out with a friend who was also a professional photographer. I’ll also note that my wife - who tends to be a bit particular about things - left me in charge of finding the photographer, and she hasn’t stopped praising me for what a great choice I made with Shelby. This level of praise is something that almost never happens, so thank you Shelby for helping me score some points!

I can't say enough good things about Dan from NY Wedding DJ! Right from the first consultation my partner and I were met with a friendly attitude and attention to detail, asking specifics about what we were hoping for during the reception. I've been to so many weddings where a mediocre DJ makes the reception drag on and on, but Dan's choice of music were totally catered to us and our type of crowd and it made the party bopping all the way until the last dance! Additionally, as an LGBT couple, we felt incredibly supported by Dan from NY Wedding DJ, and felt he offered a very inclusive atmosphere for us to be our comfortable selves around. I wish we could do it all over again just to have Dan throw another perfect reception!!

Kathryn did an amazing job photographing our wedding! We had an intimate ceremony on a pier on one of the Finger Lakes. I loved that she arrived at the venue early to scout out scenic spots in the park and caught some great candids of our family. She made it so easy for us -- she was ready with lots of suggestions and ideas for shots to capture after the ceremony. We definitely depended on her expertise and I so appreciated her preparation. You can tell that she is truly invested in your special day! She made us feel at ease, which was especially nice because my husband and I are a little camera shy. She has a great sense of humor and she made us laugh through our photo shoot. I highly recommend Kathryn for your wedding photos.

The property has several magnificent event spaces. The Sanctuary was formerly a church near The Octagon, a historic octagonal building on Roosevelt Island, now on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, the Sanctuary's original stained glass windows and locally quarried granite combine with more modern features, including a sweeping 40-foot ceiling and 30-foot marble bar, to create an effect that's nothing short of marvelous. The Sanctuary opens onto a covered veranda, complete with lounge seating and an Instagram-ready mural of Roosevelt Island. Beyond this lies the 4,000-square-foot Terrace, a beautiful reception space that can seat over 250 guests. Other notable event areas include the lovely front-yard Patio, the tranquil VIP Courtyard, and the fully renovated three-bedroom stone House

I loved in New York for 20 years and found this location by accident. When we saw the pictures I thought there was no way it would be as cute in person, but then going for a site visit I was blown away. The Sanctuary had so much character and Alfonso and Frank were so helpful and open throughout the process. We were planning from California and they helped source vendors, provided onsite support and made allowances for special requests. Nothing like the hotels and wedding factories we’d seen. We had a truly bespoke wedding on the water dancing under the stars with the city to frame all of it. The food and drinks were plentiful and the staff on the day of our wedding was so gracious. I can’t recommend them enough. So grateful to have found them. Pics at #doreenandrob #doreenswedding2023

I photograph love because I believe in it. I don’t believe in it in the way that a little girl believes in ferries or unicorns, a hopeful “I think it is real” kind of a belief, I believe in its power. I believe that love is the most important emotion we will feel in this lifetime and I believe it has the greatest ability for good. I believe that each human on this earth should have the opportunity to feel deeply loved and to love another deeply themselves. I believe that love is something that should be treasured, cared for, and celebrated.

Awarded Best of Zola
Two friends of ours used Allison at their wedding, and couldn't stop raving. When we saw the pictures - it was easy to see why. When our turn came, Allison was our first call, and somehow, she was even better than our (already high) expectations. From the initial meetings that just made us feel so at ease and comfortable, through the prep process, everything was just...easy. Even the engagement photos/"love story session" we weren't sure if we wanted...but it ended up being one of our favorite parts of the process and a much needed night in the slog of wedding planning - and it's because Allison made it so special. When the big day came, Allison was again perfect...she kept things fun, moving and well-planned...even through the never-ending family photos, it never seemed like a drag. When we got the pictures...just wow. Our friends described Allison as "capturing peoples' true selves" and that's exactly what she does. Every time we look at the pictures, we're taken right back to the happiest day of our lives, and can feel all the same warm fuzzy feelings we did then from being surrounded with all our friends and family. We're so glad we have these to help us return to those moments whenever we need a little pick-me-up, and we can't imagine anyone besides Allison to have been there to capture them.

New York, NY
  • Venue
  • Up to 80 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

Located on the corner of Third Ave and 27th Street in the heart of Murray Hill. The Gem Saloon - a modern day American saloon has a lot to offer. Craft cocktails, beer and wine can be paired with tasty kitchen bites. Our beautiful main level features a large horseshoe bar and multiple dining areas, while our mezzanine level 'Trixie's' is great for smaller groups. Both spaces are available for private events and we look forward to hosting you.

The Gem Saloon hosted the surprise engagement party I threw for my fiancé and it was the perfect spot. Starting first with my communication with Nicole, who is the events manager, she was incredibly responsive and helpful, as we sent numerous emails back and forth throughout the planning process. Having someone so readily available and quick to answer questions is a huge perk in my book, I feel without that, that’s where you lose a lot of business from the start. Then fast forward to the day off, the Gem allows you to bring outside decorations and desserts (if you wish) and do not charge a cake cutting fee. Being able to put your own decorative touch on your event can be special so it’s nice that Gem allows you that option. In terms of food, I did place a food order with Gem from their platter menu. All of my guests said how excellent the food was - I personally can sway that the beef skewers were awesome, highly recommend! The bartender assigned to my event was also lovely, she managed the bar swiftly (had about 55 guests) all on her own and had a very generous pour. The last person of note was Bernard. He was the on site manager the day of my event and he was a sweetheart. He checked in every so often to see if there was anything he could do or that we needed, incredibly attentive. Then when my fiancé and I were waiting on our Uber to leave the event, he gave us each a free glass of champagne for one last celebratory drink while we waited. Overall, everyone went above and beyond to make this day special and my guests felt that, they couldn’t have more than enough good things to say. One even said, I’ve lived and worked in NYC my whole life, how did I never know about this place? So if you’re on the fence about Gem, don’t hesitate, they’re absolutely great. And as someone who can be a critic of overly positive reviews, I will give the one negative that I have, was just that during the event (and keep in mind I reserved the second floor mezzanine - which was great to feel separated and private from the rest of the bar) that between being higher up and having around 55 people, it did get a bit hot up there, but you can always request that the air be turned down! All in all, 5/5 venue and party

My husband and I wanted some low key live jazz music during our wedding reception, and Thomas coordinated the perfect combo for us, a bassist, saxophonist, and drummer. It was simple yet classy, just as we wanted, and the musicians were top-notch. He also put together a playlist for us and played “Canon in D” on the violin during the ceremony. Thomas’ professionalism and attention to detail really made an impression! He was meticulous and thoughtful in the way he planned out and executed the music component of our wedding, it truly made our guests and the entire experience all the more memorable and elegant. Thank you so much Thomas!

After graduating from Parson's School of Art in Manhattan, I worked as a fine artist, my work involved photography and photo manipulation. I quickly discovered that I loved and excelled at photo retouching, and went on to work for some of the best photo retouching studios in New York. In 2009 I shot my first wedding, it was a dear friend of mine and the beautiful photos were featured in one of the biggest wedding magazines. I realized that I had found my calling and have been producing stunning wedding photographs with my amazing team and clients ever since.

Emma was absolutely amazing, from the moment we enquired right through to the end; she was great to deal with, very friendly and helpful, provided great advise and made everyone feel at ease! Highly professional, talented, organised and a great communicator, with an eye for detail! She captured all those special moments without being intrusive or even knowing that she was there. My husband is not a fan of the camera, Emma worked with it, didn’t make it a problem and captured some fantastic candid photos! We are so incredibly happy with our photos and highly recommend Emma to anyone who is wanting a professional wedding photographer!

BLB is the best. I am a wedding DJ based in NYC who has worked at hundreds of weddings. At many of them, BLB was the wedding planner. At each wedding I worked with BLB on, the couple did not have to worry about anything. Everything was organized and happened on time. A great way to make sure your wedding vision comes true is to hire Brittney and BLB. I would recommend this team to anyone planning their wedding.

Hi there, my beautiful people! This bio had all the chances to turn into one of those lengthy chat GPT-generated texts which would make your eyes roll up as you scroll down. Instead, I want it to be short and sharp like the photographs I take. And I want my visual language to speak for itself clearly and distinctly. That’s why I will try to answer the main question you all want to ask. Why me?

Working with Valentyna as a makeup artist on various photoshoots has been an absolute pleasure. Valentyna's unique vision and creative direction as a photographer set the stage for some of the most inspiring and impactful photoshoots I had in New York. Valentyna's ability to envision the final result and guide the makeup process to align with her creative ideas is truly commendable. Her clear and innovative vision for each photoshoot provides a strong foundation for me as a makeup artist to work my magic. She understands the power of makeup in conveying her artistic concepts, and our collaborative efforts consistently yield stunning results. If you're looking for a photography partner who brings a visionary approach to each project, Valentyna is the ideal choice.
