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.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Chris!! He came super highly recommended by our planner so we felt lucky to be able to book him for our date. From the first meeting, Chris was engaging and fun, yet professional and had a clear process that he explained to us. That process, included questions that dove deep into our relationship and love story and was extremely fun for us to complete. As I look back, his process feels like a super special part of the planning process. Then came wedding day…. Chris was phenomenal!!! The ceremony was so fun and exactly our vibe. He involved our guests the perfect amount and the ceremony felt so special and exactly what we wanted. Multiple guests raved about him, but beyond that, told me they got a chance to talk with him afterwards which I thought was so special that he stayed and engaged with guests. I would rate him more than five stars if I could, book Chris Shelley!!!

When I came across Rebecca's website and portfolio I was immediately smitten. Her style was so beautiful and unique, and exactly what I was hoping to find for our wedding. One quick call with her and I knew she was our photographer. She was so warm and welcoming and we felt completely ourselves around her. We had FUN spending time with her for both our engagement and wedding photos. Aside from her amazing skills - she went ABOVE AND BEYOND to coordinate our engagement photos with us when we were living in California.

Sound River Studios was the perfect venue for our May 2024 wedding! We had not initially considered a raw space for our wedding reception. However, after meeting with Una and discussing the seemingly infinite possibilities for the space (along with soaking in the spectacular views of NYC), we were completely sold on the venue. We are so glad we made the choice to celebrate our wedding at Sound River Studios! We took advantage of the dock at the venue and had our guests arrive to cocktail hour by boat which was a unique highlight. The dock is also a beautiful spot for photos! Una was beyond helpful in the planning process and she was always available to answer any questions we had or to brainstorm ideas with us and our vendors. We would highly recommend Sound River Studios to any couple looking to have a memorable NYC wedding!

With an unwavering commitment to transforming dreams into exquisite realities, our distinguished team, led by industry visionary Lauren Luberger, boasts over two decades of collective expertise in orchestrating flawless celebrations.

Awarded Best of Zola
Let me start by saying my wedding was a tall order! I wanted a wedding that was gothic, elegant, Victorian-inspired, dark, and moody. We were going for gothic without it being “scare grandma” gothic! And to make it a step harder, our wedding was in a very modern looking building in Manhattan. And to make it even one step harder, my husband and I are based in Ireland. Lauren completely understood my vision and designed the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen. We had so many friends and family approach us about how beautiful the decor was, and even multiple members of staff and various vendors saying they have never seen the venue look so amazing. Her attention to detail is beyond phenomenal and everything is done with such thoughtfulness and due diligence. Lauren was so organised throughout the entire wedding planning process. She helped us look for the best vendors, she went to view different tablecloth landscapes and furniture when we couldn’t (again, we live abroad!) and kept me up to date every step of the way without bombarding us so we could continue to regulate life outside of wedding planning. I have recommended Lauren multiple times to newly engaged friends, and will continue to recommend City and Terrace in the future! You truly cannot get a better wedding planner who listens to the couples’ wants and needs, understands, and most importantly keeps you calm and organised through the chaotic planning process! Her attention to detail is phenomenal. I highly recommend.

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!

Working with Greta for our February 2025 wedding was a dream come true. From the moment we met with her (and even before we signed a contract with her) she was incredibly supportive and helpful. If you want someone who is going to take care of every detail before you can even think to ask about them, she's your girl. From our first call, my husband and I knew we would be working with her. She has such a calming demeanor but she's also incredibly resourceful and uses her knowledge and abilities to the max. Having no family in the area, I really had to lean on her for a lot more than I thought I might, especially when I was having issues with my wedding dress. She even came with me to pick it up the first time!! Greta has so many connections and really knows her stuff when it comes to weddings. She'll be real with you about what's possible within your budget and she really helped us stay within ours - she has a great system that she provides you access to. I could go on and on about how amazing she is. I'm just sad that our wedding is now over and we won't have a reason to connect! We love you Greta!!!!

If you're looking for photographers who bring fun energy, creativity, and a stress-free experience, we’d love to be part of your wedding day. Let’s connect!

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Kinjo and Dawa for our September wedding in Cape Cod this year. To say we are thrilled with the whole experience of working with them - from our first call to getting our photos and video - is an understatement. They are professional and also so fun to work with. Our wedding day was unseasonably HOT, despite these conditions they were moving around capturing everything all day and all night. Something so special is that they stayed until the very end - I know other photographers don't always do this. In showing our photos to our friends and family everyone is absolutely blown away and we've gotten comments like - "These are the best wedding photos I've ever seen," "How did they capture the moment/everyone's personalities so well!?" In being in other weddings recently, I've interacted with a lot of photographers and Kinjo and Dawa are by far the friendliest, most joyful and fun photographers I've interacted with (and trust me, you will want this on your big day - it makes a huge difference!) and their work is top of the line! The only challenge is that it will take months for you to choose which photos to post/put in an album, because they are all SO good! :)

We knew we wanted to book DJ Milin for our wedding even before we had a venue, but we did not expect how incredible they would be in making our wedding unforgettable. Milin was super responsive from the beginning and truly carried out the vision we had from our initial meetings to the actual day. He offered feedback when asked and helped us make key decisions that made the day more successful. He helped choose our last song and this was one of my favorite moments of our wedding. Milin and Dhoom Events do their best to understand your vibe and vision as a couple, and they do an excellent job executing. Everyone was out of their seats during the reception, the dance floor was consistently packed and multiple people told us we had the best DJ they'd seen/heard and we couldn't agree more. Milin and Dhoom made our wedding day epic and I wouldn't hesitate to book him again!

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.

From the initial phone call, I knew Tanaya J Makeup was going to be the MUA for my wedding day. We bonded instantly over the phone and she let me know she was going to deliver on my wedding day! Then we had the trial, she saw my inspo and the importance for my makeup to give skin, and she3 did more than deliver, she ATE and it was just the trial! I used the make up for my bridal shower and got tons of compliments. Wedding day, she came on time and went right to work. There were 10 girls getting their make up done, and everything went by efficiently with no issue. When it was my turn, she made sure I was comfortable and went straight to work - and it truly was the look of my dreams. I felt so beautiful. 2 weeks later, people are still telling me how stunning I looked, and I owe a huge thanks to Tanaya for bringing my look to life.

Welcome to Velvet Valley Cakes, where vintage charm meets modern flair. Inspired by the timeless techniques of classic cake decorating books, I bring a bygone era's elegance to life with intricate, handcrafted buttercream designs. My diverse upbringing in Queens, NY, has infused my creations with a unique fusion of flavors, reflecting the eclectic culinary landscape of my childhood. From traditional to unexpected, my cakes blend nostalgia with innovation, making every wedding celebration a sweet masterpiece.

We hadn’t initially anticipated wanting a vintage-style wedding cake, but once we saw Blair Gutierrez’s creations at Velvet Valley Cakes, we completely fell in love with the idea. Blair’s artistry and attention to detail were evident from the start, and the cake on our wedding day was nothing short of perfect—both visually stunning and absolutely delicious. Blair provided us with an exceptional tasting experience, delivering four different miniature cakes for us to try. Each cake was flawless, delivered without any issues, and gave us more than enough to sample and enjoy. The thoughtful presentation of the miniature cakes made the experience even more fun and memorable. With every flavor tasting so amazing, it was hard to narrow down our choices, but we ultimately decided on two flavors for our wedding cake (Earl Grey Lemon Blueberry & Mediterranean). From our first communication to the tasting process and all the way to our wedding day, everything with Velvet Valley Cakes was seamless, professional, and delightful. The cake was a true highlight of our celebration, and we are so grateful to Blair for making our wedding day even sweeter. We couldn’t recommend Velvet Valley Cakes more!

I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in New York and Connecticut. I capture moments that feel alive—genuine, emotional, and meaningful. My goal is to create photos that bring you back to the emotions of that day, reminding you of the love, commitment, and joy that made it unforgettable. When I’m not with the camera, you’ll find me painting, refreshing my home decor, hunting for vintage treasure, exploring new places, or taking care of my plants family (currently over a dozen and counting!).

I am so grateful she was there for my big day—her presence made everything feel effortless and truly special. From the very beginning, she was incredibly thoughtful and professional. Before the shoot, we met to discuss our ideas, and she took the time to truly understand our vision. Not only did she listen attentively, but she also shared her own creative suggestions based on her research, making everything even better than we had imagined. On the day of the shoot, having her there felt like having a trusted guide and a dear friend by my side, capturing beautiful moments in the most natural way. She created such a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere that I never once worried about how the photos would turn out—I simply enjoyed the moment. Her presence on my ceremony day wasn’t just about taking pictures; she played a key role in making sure everything went smoothly. When we received the final photos, my husband and I were beyond thrilled. Each image felt like a window back to that magical day, filled with love and joy. We couldn’t stop looking at them! Her talent, patience, and warmth made this experience truly unforgettable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who can capture not just pictures, but emotions and memories that last a lifetime.

15 years experience with a lot of makeup brands and artistry. I do regular glams and airbrush. I have a positive and playful personality. I also teach one on ones. Love to make clients feel happy on their special day. Worked with Mac Estée Lauder Laura mercier tarte makeup forever and many more!

Trina is a very personable and talented make-up artist. She is knowledgeable about make-up and can lead you in the right direction for the occassion as well as give you a “beat” that you will love! She never disappoints and I recommend her 1000%.

  • Florist
  • Serves Astoria, NY

Imagination Enthusiasts. Party Animals. Sustainability Focused. Foam-Free Floristry. Bespoke designs curated to create custom works of floral art. We aim to work alongside clients to bring an unexpected mix of on trend designs and elegant classic styles. Whether it be an intimate gathering after City Hall or the event of the season, we can't wait to design something special and tailored to you!

I don’t know what magic Fern Botanica puts into their flowers, but they delivered the most impressive array of bouquets I’d ever seen in my whole life. We ordered bouquets a la carte from them (two bridal and 16 bridesmaids!), and gave them a color palette and inspiration image to work from—and I cannot even believe how stunning the result was. Our budget was limited, so we reused the bouquets as centerpieces for the tables, and Fernies also helped us figure out the best size vases, so we could transition them easily. Also, we were gifted flower preservation, and the artist immediately asked who our florist was because she was so impressed by the flowers. That’s how you know it’s good. I will absolutely be using them again for everything from causal arrangements to special events. The team there has such an incredible eye and style, they did all the heavy lifting, and we got to enjoy the rewards of people complimenting our beautiful flowers. Win/win.

While continuing to work in the television & movie industry for several decades, I ventured into photography. My career focused on the moving image but my heart sought the individual moments, the individual frames. The perspectives were the same; to better understand how light and shadows help tell a story and define a moment. This is now a pursuit to help you document your priceless moments & story.

Really the best we could have hoped for and helped to make our wedding feel magical in the moment and captured things beautifully when we received the pictures. Very highly recommended.
