From the moment Tanaya walked into my apartment for my makeup trial, I knew that not only would she be a stellar makeup artist but also a friend. Tanaya is so warm and made me comfortable immediately. She totally understood the glamorous old Hollywood look I was going for and executed it to perfection. A concern I had was how an artist would handle a bridal party with various skin tones. I did not need to worry about that at all. With the combined skills of Tanaya and her lovely assistant Whitney, my mother, mother-in-law, 3 bridesmaids and myself looked absolutely stunning on the Wedding Day! Our makeup lasted from the salon till the last dance and I can honestly say I could not have felt more beautiful. Do not hesitate to have Tanaya be part of your wedding team!

Arverne, NY
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,299

Chapel Light Studios (formerly Tri State Wedding Pros, name was changed due to way too many companies with that name and it was confusing) based out of Arverne (Queens/LI), New York, offers fantastic photography services for weddings and engagements. Tony C., the face behind the camera lens, has worked professionally in the industry for over 20 years and brings passion, artistry, and heart to every occasion. Through a wealth of experience combined with high-end equipment and creative instinct, he will capture the authentic and heartfelt moments that naturally unfold throughout the day.

Best decision of my wedding. All my vendors were great but Chapel Light and their photography was perfect start to finish. The photos were stunning. Highly recommended.

Wedding Pros exceeded every expectation we had for our wedding day. From our very first consultation, their team was professional, organized, and genuinely excited about bringing our vision to life. They took the time to understand what mattered most to us and offered helpful guidance on timelines, lighting, and photo opportunities we hadn’t even considered. On the wedding day, they were calm, confident, and completely in control — which made us feel relaxed right away. They captured every important moment without ever feeling intrusive. Some of our favorite photos are the candid ones: the quiet smiles before the ceremony, the laughter during speeches, and the pure joy on the dance floor. They have a true talent for finding those natural, emotional moments that make the day feel real. The quality of the photos is absolutely stunning. The colors are rich and true to life, the lighting is beautiful, and every image feels timeless rather than trendy. Our family and friends haven’t stopped complimenting the gallery. The turnaround time was impressive, and everything was delivered exactly as promised. What really sets Wedding Pros apart is their professionalism and passion. You can tell they genuinely care about their couples and take pride in their work. They coordinated seamlessly with our planner and other vendors, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. If you’re looking for a team that combines experience, artistry, and reliability, Wedding Pros is the one to trust. We are so grateful they were part of our day and will treasure these memories forever.

Shuttersound Pictures 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Arverne, NY
  • Videographer
  • Storytelling style

Thanks for visiting my profile! To tell you a bit about myself, I've always wanted to be a filmmaker since I could remember... My grandpa was always filming every family interaction and had a 500 title dvd collection, so that left a big impression on me. I was the kid who grouped up my friends and coordinated lightsaber battles in the front yard; later editing in FX frame by frame. While in film school I used to film in dance clubs, making music videos of clubbers having a good time. This helped develop my style and created the foundation of what I do today! Apart from filmmaking, I enjoy a good jam sesh, playing chess, and surfing :)

Awarded Best of Zola
We are SO happy that we worked with Shuttersound Pictures for our wedding at The Liberty Warehouse in July 2019. They are extremely talented cinematographers who know how to capture the best of everything on your wedding day. The wedding video allowed us to relive the day and experience how we felt (and how our guests felt) all over again.

Marilyn Lamanna Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (48 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $8,500
  • Serves Arverne, NY

Hey there! My name is Marilyn. I live in New York City with my sweet partner, and our orange cat Maple. I’m an introverted, soft-hearted mush with an insatiable need to document the beauty in life. Practicing self-portraits in middle school eventually led me to pursue my photography degree from New York University, and I have been joyfully creating photos of wedding days ever since. To me, weddings are a magical display of the human spirit. It’s my biggest honor and joy to create imagery that captures that human magic - especially in a way that breaks the boundaries of historically gendered traditions.

Awarded Best of Zola
We have worked with Marilyn for mini sessions, engagement photos, and our wedding. Each time, Marilyn never ceases to amaze us with her ability to capture timeless photos that feel like us. Over the past few years, during the mini sessions and engagement shoot we did with Marilyn, she made us so comfortable in front of her camera. When it came to taking our portraits at our wedding, it felt like second nature - something that wouldn’t have happened with just any photographer. On our wedding day, the group photos flowed seamlessly, and it felt like they took no time at all. Marilyn captured our wedding day so beautifully, we truly can’t stop looking at the photos. She delivered a gallery that has the perfect blend of posed portraits and documentary style shots of the day. There is not a single photo in our wedding gallery that we dislike. Whether it’s for a casual couples shoot or your wedding, we highly recommend Marilyn - you will not regret it!

Awarded Best of Zola
Kenny Fiesta was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very start, his communication style was thorough, low-pressure, and reliable. He connected with each vendor, the venue, and key people in our wedding to ensure all were aligned and knew who he was, how to work with him, and what to expect throughout the night. Kenny's experience as a DJ was truly top-notch - he kept the party going all night long and made sure the music and energy were perfect for our special day. He worked with our playlist and captured our vision for the day. It was a PARTY. Kent was a joy to work with, keeping things low-pressure throughout the process but covering every detail. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ, and we highly recommend Kenny Fiesta to any couple looking for an experienced, professional, and fun-loving addition to their wedding day or their event. We would 100% work with him again in the future. In the end, he felt like family.

I am your guests' favorite thing about your wedding. Since 2011, I've been writing and performing personal, meaningful and refreshingly engaging ceremonies for couples just like you and couples who are nothing like you. Couples work with me with an easy, collaborative process during which I become your favorite part of wedding planning. I take guest experience and your wishes very seriously. Your families will thank you for getting somebody who makes the ceremony light while still making clear how beautiful it is that you found each other. I officiate all over the US.

We love Chris! He was so incredibly genuine, kind, hilarious, and he knows how to handle a crowd. He was certainly born to be doing what he does. He spent months in communication with my husband and I making sure he knew us as a couple. I recently attended a wedding where the officiant mispronounced the brides name throughout the whole ceremony. Chris is the opposite of that. He’s going to know you and your story by the time he’s up there marrying you. And to top it all off, he dropped a wisdom bomb piece of advice on my husband and I, on the day of our wedding, that I think of often. I absolutely cannot recommend him enough!

It is difficult not to write this review entirely in all glowing all caps because Thalia's artistry truly gave us a gift of a lifetime. Thalia is an absolutely lovely person and a PHENOMENAL photographer. We could not love our wedding (and engagement) photos more! My husband and I could tell from our first introductory meeting that Thalia's energy, enthusiasm, and professionalism were precisely what we were looking for, but boy oh boy, did her pictures exceed these expectations. We wanted both editorial and documentary style shots, and we received a perfect blend of both. Thalia knows how and when to provide styling guidance as well as when to hang back in order to snap up all the organic moments too. So grateful that the best day of our life was captured with such care. Thank you, Thalia!!

Sound River Studios was the perfect venue. From our first visit we were amazed at how personable and committed to making our day special the team was. While most venues unlocked the doors and let us take a quick look, Una spent the better part of an hour giving us a full tour, showing us photos of countless possible setups, and answering any and every question we could think of. Throughout the planning process Una was always ready to help, not to mention tell us a great story. Nikola was also gracious enough to host us for a great tasting of the wine offerings from the family vineyard. The view of the city speaks for itself, but the space is also beautiful and very flexible. We were able to bring in a variety of outside vendors to transform the space in a way that fit our vision and felt very personal. SRS was easy to work with and the day of ran very smoothly, even with a variety of vendors. We couldn't be more happy with our experience. Highly recommend!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had our wedding May 2025 and started planning with the City & Terrace team 9 months ahead of time. If you're looking for a planner that is extremely thorough, detail-oriented, flexible, and goes above & beyond to make sure your big day goes seamlessly, look no further than Lauren & her team. We had a wedding that was highly personalized, unconventional in many ways, and demanding in terms of timelines, details, and aesthetics. Here are some ways the City & Terrace team went above & beyond to make our vision come to life: - Provided us with multiple scenarios & projected costs to consider in how to run reception since we were unconventionally catering from an independent restaurant that doesn't have wedding catering expertise. - Sourced Chinese porcelain tea jars from an independent supplier in Brooklyn to accomplish our very niche aesthetic demands. - Pulled a lot of strings with other vendors to buy us extra time and opportunities to see and review our tablescape design. - Our wedding day schedule was very tight with multiple activities planned down to the minute. Lauren always gave honest feedback and made sure to accommodate our requests to the best of her abilities. The City & Terrace team also did a great job in managing all of the cultural elements (Chinese & Cambodian) of our wedding that were new to them. Highly recommend City & Terrace for your next big event!

Awarded Best of Zola
Vivian’s review Vivian was a dream to work with — a visionary who has the chops to execute beyond our wildest dreams! She was the first vendor we reached out to when planning our wedding because we knew that we wanted the florals to be one of our major investments for our big day. I was already a fan of her work, especially her corporate clients, as those arrangements were especially elegant, sculptural, and elevated — the exact vibes we wanted for our wedding day. During our planning call, Vivian and I immediately connected on the ambience my husband and I wanted to curate for our wedding. She offered wonderful recommendations on where we should splurge and save regarding botanicals, and even came up with a unique floor plan for our reception. Vivian also suggested decorations that we could source ourselves to save money on day-of rentals. On our wedding day, the staff at 501 Union told us that they’d never seen our layout in the venue before and that it was the most beautiful the space had ever looked! In fact, when they shared video clips on social media, many of their other brides liked and commented that they wanted to copy Vivian’s floor plan too! Our friends and family were completely in awe of the floral arrangements during our ceremony and reception, sharing that they looked luxe and opulent. Vivian smartly repurposed arrangements between the two spaces, maximizing impact without increasing costs. Most of our guests took the flowers home with them once the celebrations ended, and shared that they looked fresh even a week after our wedding. I can’t recommend Vivian enough — BOOK HER TO GUARANTEE AN INCOMPARABLE FLORAL EXPERIENCE!

My wedding was this past weekend, and I still want to shout Amanda's praises from every rooftop! Hire her now! We had a complex wedding design: a full three-night, four-day weekend with several different spaces and layouts involved, and different guest lists for each day. Amanda handled everything masterfully. Every detail was exactly as we imagined (and more!), and she was a true joy to work with. My mother and I have different working styles and visions, and somehow Amanda found a way to meet both of our needs at each turn and help us avoid any conflict with one another. Amanda is highly detail-oriented and has a way of handling so many things "behind the scenes" and well in advance of the wedding - including crafting much of the decor and guest gifts weeks in advance, then personally transporting them to the wedding. It was efforts like this that really set her apart from other planners -- measurably reducing our stress each moment and taking things off our very full plates. We will genuinely miss speaking and working with Amanda. Our only regret was not hiring her sooner - she joined us after we had personally booked our venue and a handful of vendors, but having her with us earlier would have only enhanced our planning process.

Dj Sparkx Entertainment was an incredible experience from start to finish. From our initial contact to the post-wedding follow-up, he was consistently professional and attentive. Our wedding took place in December 2024, just a few days after Christmas—a timing that had both its challenges and blessings. Despite the busy holiday season, Dj Sparkx took the time to thoroughly go over all our preferences and ensure everything was perfectly planned for our big day. On the wedding day, he exceeded all our expectations. Our guests are still raving about how engaging he was and how skillfully he played music that resonated with both sides of our family. Dj Sparkx masterfully balanced the Caribbean spice with the classic American hits, making the event enjoyable for everyone. He is versatile and does his research for any cultural background! He also made it a point to ensure that my husband and I had time on the dance floor and enjoyed ourselves. What stood out the most was how collaborative he was throughout the process. He listened to our ideas, shared his expert opinions, and every suggestion he made elevated our wedding to another level. Trusting a vendor with one of the most important days of your life can be daunting, but my advice is simple: trust Dj Sparkx! The photobooth was also a fantastic addition. Dj Sparkx added a special touch by surprising us with a photo album filled with messages from our guests—a keepsake we’ll treasure forever. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to work with Dj Sparkx. He is professional, cost-efficient, and, most importantly, an absolute joy to work with. Highly recommended!

As a seasoned bridal makeup artist with over a decade of experience in the beauty industry, I've had the honor of helping brides look and feel their most radiant on one of the most important days of their lives. From the bustling runways of New York Fashion Week to intimate editorial shoots, my artistry has been shaped by an eye for timeless elegance and a deep understanding of how to make beauty shine both in person and on camera. With a background in both economics and photography, I bring a unique perspective to my craft. I understand the artistry of light, composition, and how makeup translates in every setting.

Awarded Best of Zola
I first booked Shenyce through glamsquad for my bridal shower and it was the most amazing coincidence ever (minus meeting my husband of course). I had no real idea what I wanted besides a natural look with a light smokey eye and there, in my midtown hotel room, Shenyce brought it to life and then some. I received so many compliments on my makeup and I just felt so so beautiful. I was glowing and I really do think it was the confidence from my look. Afterwards, my mother was insistent that I have Shenyce do my bridal makeup. I felt a bit awkward having to tell my artist that I booked that she was being given the boot because I met someone amazing but knew if there was one time I had to be mean, it was to have the best for my big day. I stalked Shenyce and slid into her DMs and am so so happy she said yes! She drove all the way to Northern jersey to make my bridal vision come true. I felt completely confident with Shenyce at the helm. The end result was perfect. Having a caked on look where I was unrecognizable was my biggest fear. I felt like myself still and like I wasn't wearing too much makeup (I typically wear no makeup so that's saying a lot!). I was beaming even more than I was at my shower somehow. Everything also stayed on the whole night without and reapplication or touch ups even through the dancing and the summer humidity. The fact that Shenyce is just an amazing person too is just icing on top. You will be the best, most fabulous version of yourself with Shenyce!

When you spend months communicating through a phone and blindly trust your florist to see the vision through - and she absolutely does!! I cannot express how grateful I was to find Marigolds Florals!! We specifically wanted to support small businesses with a priority on minority/woman owned. Afterall, small businesses and creatives literally keep art, passion, and customer service alive in an economy where everything seems transactional. I am a very particular bride, and Anika never made me feel bad about it. Instead, she thoroughly answered questions, entertained my unique request, and went above the call of duty. We hopped on many calls, shared tons of photos, and the plans changed quite a bit over a span of months. She rocked and rolled the whole way through, and I will never forget patience AND ability to execute that Anika and her team exhibited. From a Philly girl to a NY girl, I am grateful.

From the moment I reached out to FacebyAnastasia, I felt immediately at ease and trusted her vision. Anna’s down-to-earth and jovial personality made me feel comfortable right away. As someone who doesn't often wear makeup, I was concerned about it being too heavy, but she perfectly balanced a natural and subtle look while making me feel beautiful. A wedding day can be stressful, but Anna's calm demeanor, affirmations, and light humor made the experience effortless. Plus she is truly a whiz at color theory— she matched my exact skin tone adjusting and mixing colors . I cannot recommend FacebyAnastasia highly enough.

I cannot begin to give my praise to the amazing team at Beauty Refinery. From Kristen being so warm and welcoming, holding my hand through every step of the process, even giving recommendations for hair extensions and facials, to the amazing team on bridal trial and wedding day. Olivia and Karolina brought my bridal vision to reality while being helicopter-hovered under pressure by two Slavic moms ( if you know, you know ). On the wedding day, the rest of the team, Quinn and Cynthia, did an amazing job on the girls. Everyone was on time, fast, and made us all look beautiful. I plan on using Beauty Refinery in the future for all my special events for sure!

We had the pleasure of hosting our intimate wedding for just over 50 guests at the Renaissance Event Hall in May 2024. The event space is beautiful— although the surrounding area is a bit rough, it’s a space that’s large enough to really bring your vision to life. Originally, our ceremony was supposed to be held on the outdoor patio but after a “rain plan” rehearsal we decided to have the ceremony indoors to make use of the beautiful grand staircase. Affordable space— for NYC? Absolutely. Food— great! Bar— great! Staff— amazing! Shout out to Larry for the amazing lighting. Both Larry and Lisa went above and beyond to make sure guests were served, comfortable, and having a great time. My only wish was that there was a separate groom suite that’s apart from the bridal suite. Here we had to use a foldable partition to separate the bride side from the groom side. Also, our rehearsal was double booked with another wedding party the day before our wedding which was a bit disappointing having to wait and navigate around their rehearsal to complete ours. However, this just seemed to be a simple miscommunication between Lisa and her assistant which I’m hoping won’t be the case with another bride/groom. Overall, it was the perfect space to host our wedding. Lisa was such a pleasure to work with and had such great insights on how to bring together the event in a manner that made the best use of the space. Thank you to the Renaissance Event Hall team!
