Underfloor MUSIC was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the moment we connected with Kyle, their communication was quick and efficient, which was so helpful as we were navigating a venue change from New York to Massachusetts. The travel fee they charged for the move was very reasonable, and we were thrilled to have them there to keep the energy high all night long. Underfloor MUSIC brought the absolute best energy and kept the dance floor packed the entire celebration. They played the perfect combinations of songs that had our guests of all ages dancing the night away. I truly believe they were the best DJ I've ever heard at a wedding - they kept the ball rolling seamlessly throughout the entire event. We couldn't have asked for a better musical experience on our special day!

  • Serves Athens, NY

Empire State Events is a high-end entertainment company serving Upstate NY. If you want your wedding to be the best wedding that you or your friends have ever been to, considering scheduling a time to discuss your vision.

We got married in June 2024, and had Thaddeus as our DJ. Mackenzie took care of the photo-booth. Over the course of the 9 months leading up to the wedding I probably had 4 or 5 calls with Thaddeus to give him the general vibe we were looking for & work out details. He was professional, honest, and gave great feedback. We had many specific asks and Thaddeus made sure all of our wants fit into his plan. Once the party was going, we gave Thaddeus the creative freedom to do his thing & make sure our guests had a good time. He totally delivered. I absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ that can keep the party going! Mackenzie was great to work with as well. Empire State Events got more backdrops to choose from in the middle of our planning, so she gave me the option to switch! I’m glad we did, the eucalyptus backdrop fit perfectly with our vision. Mackenzie was incredibly friendly & ready to help anyone that needed assistance. Our guests loved the photo-booth & our kids/nieces & nephews were entertained too! Win-win!

Working with Rob Spring Photography was by far one of the best and easiest decisions we made for our wedding. From our first initial call with Rob, we could tell we were in good hands. We worked with Sarah as our photographer and within minutes of the first time meeting her at our engagement shoot, we were laughing and totally at ease - even with our little 8 pound dog along for the ride. On our wedding day, Sarah arrived with assistant Colton and instantly went to work making our day so special. We took photos all over the entire venue, laughing and joking around the whole time. The huge smiles on our faces in our photos are proof of how much fun we had. Our entire bridal party and both of our families couldn't stop raving about how professional and fun she was to work with. And then the photos we received blew our minds - they are more beautiful than we ever could've imagined. This will definitely not be the last time we work with Sarah and Rob Spring Photography. We could not recommend them enough!

We can not recommend Lindsey with Heart Speak Visuals enough! From the very beginning she made what could be an out of the ordinary and slightly uncomfortable act of professional photos and made it so calming, easy and beautiful! We were beyond lucky to have three separate shoots with Lindsey for our engagement, courthouse elopement, and wedding day with each one being more stunning than the last. She listened to exactly the style of photos we wanted and organized the shot lists with our family and friends on our wedding day with ease. She is excellently priced for the stunning galleries you receive, she is prompt, always available when we needed to check in and as a plus, the site she uses for her galleries is so user friendly and we have all of our professional photos in one place. We could go on and on about how special these photos are to us. Lindsey does not disappoint and we look forward to hopefully having other photo opportunities with her in the future!

Our wedding at Seven Ponds Farm was absolutely spectacular! The farm in the summer was beautiful and lush and made for a perfect backdrop for our wedding weekend. Staying onsite was such a treat and made the weekend extra special.

Hi friend! I'm Becca. Ever since I was little, I wanted to listen to others stories and share them with others. As a result of a college photography class that I loved and my dad's love of nature photography, I was gifted a camera after graduation, and I never stopped! I started taking photos at a performing arts center and became mesmerized with capturing joy. I have been in the wedding industry since I was fourteen and have been taking photos professionally since 2019.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot GUSH enough about Becca. She was hands down the MVP of our wedding day. In the midst of wedding planning busyness, Becca led a thorough meeting with us (the couple) going over the day-of schedule, and covering an exhaustive comprehensive list of all possible photos, helping us prioritize the ones we needed and letting go of those that may have ended up stressing us out to try to take! She made sure to be sensitive to all our hopes for photos, family dynamics, and more. I (the bride) was sick on the wedding day and had to make some adjustments to the day-of schedule, and Becca not only adjusted with such grace and flexibility, but also offered great game-time ideas to make sure we got all the photos we wanted with even less time! During the wedding, Becca stayed even longer than scheduled, was so patient but commanding with getting family photos organized, and stayed in the background throughout the day even though she was right by my (the bride!) side getting the best candid photos. That way, I was able to feel supported AND even more relaxed, she was so nimble, positive, and masterful. As I’ve said since the beginning of working with her, she is simply the BEST.

Hi, I’m Bridget — but you can call me Bee, cause that’s what my friends call me! And since we’re basically already best friends, let me tell you a secret: taking pictures isn’t even the thing I love most about my job. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m as obsessed with taking gorgeous, dripping-in-light photos that you’ll look back on for ages as much as the next photographer. But what I really love? Meeting the most kind-hearted people and getting to know them on a level much deeper than the typical client-photographer relationship.

She and her team brought so much joy to the experience, we actually looked forward to taking more photos because it was so fun! Bridget’s warmth, professionalism, and unparalleled talent turned our special day into a lifetime memory. Your wedding day starts with you and your spouse, building your new family, and before you know it, you’ll want to capture more moments as your family grows with kids. Who do you call? Bridget, ASAP! She’s not just your wedding photographer, she’s your family photographer for life, starting on your special day. Simply put, Bridget is the Da Vinci of our time, creating timeless masterpieces with every click. Highly recommend!

Kalz Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day. From our first conversation, Kristin and her team were easy to communicate with, offering a heartfelt and honest approach that put us at ease. Her work is truly extraordinary - the photos they captured are wholesome, charismatic, and perfectly encapsulate the joy and love of our special day. Kristin took the lead, working tirelessly with her team to ensure they captured all the photos we requested. In true Kristin fashion, she went above and beyond, helping our day run more smoothly with her professionalism and attention to detail. We are thrilled with our sneak peak and know that the final product will be well worth the wait. Kristin has felt more like a friend than ‘just’ a photographer and I knew when she captured our engagement photos, it would only be more amazing come time for the wedding. I would without a doubt recommend her to anyone! Her husband is an excellent edition to the team and an absolute delight to have along for the ride.

Photographing weddings and elopements is a privilege that I do not take lightly. I treat each moment with as much care as if it were my own! While I am happy to take on weddings of any size, I specialize in intimate weddings or engagement sessions where I can embrace a documentary, candid approach. My favorite moments to capture are those quiet, unplanned interactions. I adore the small details. The moments that sometimes get overlooked but often times help tell the story of your wedding day the most. I thrive with couples who aren’t afraid to be silly and embrace the moments as they come as opposed to forcing it.

Sydney was a dream to work with for our wedding! She is so kind and easy-going, she instantly eased all of my wedding day anxieties. She truly does it all and was essential in making our day run smoothly. From fixing my veil, to bustling my dress, and wrangling up our wedding party all while getting fantastic photos. She really is so talented at what she does by capturing all of the in-between, authentic moments that you want to remember forever. Our photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined and are so timeless, we will cherish them for the rest of our lives. We couldn’t recommend her enough not only because of her beautiful work but for the person that she is!!!

Wedding Planning Plus was an excellent choice for our wedding planning needs for our June 2025 wedding at the Equniox Resort in Manchester, VT. From the start, their communication style was direct, helpful, and calming, which was greatly appreciated as we planned our big day. The quality of their work and value they provided was outstanding - they were focused, supportive, and incredibly well-connected in the region, using their network of vendors to perfectly execute our wedding and beautifully and bringing our garden party tent reception vision to life. On the day of, Eliza ran the schedule effortlessly and her competence completely allowed my husband and I to be fully present. In particular, we appreciated the way that she approached us over the course of the wedding to check if we still wanted to do the next scheduled item, it gave us a sense of control over how we spent our time rather than feeling like we were manically running from task to task. So many of our friends and family have reported back that the wedding was the smoothest of the weddings they had attended this year, and its all thanks to WPP. We are so grateful for the incredible support Wedding Planning Plus provided and would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

The venue itself has a completely magical vibe, and was the perfect space for our forest wedding in the trees. I had originally hoped to get married in the redwoods in CA, but the The Camp Chapel (one option for a ceremony space) was the absolute next best thing. Helen went above and beyond throughout the weekend (even printed my updated vows last minute!!) to ensure everything ran smoothly, and everyone's attention to detail made our wedding day feel more magical than we could have ever dreamed of!!

Shawn did an awesome job! He did the music for our wedding ceremony, the music for the reception, provided uplighting, and the photobooth. My now husband and I enjoyed working with Shawn. He is funny, easy going, and patient. His questionnaire is very detailed and is very helpful for pulling the music together for the day. He also was very focused on making sure my now husband and I heard what we wanted to hear for the music. During the ceremony, Shawn timed the music perfectly. We saw later watching videos that he even cut the microphone out for my brother, the officiant of the wedding, when my brother almost started talking over parents walking down the aisle. Thanks for that, Shawn! Later in the night, we had other challenges with our timeline due to longer than expected speeches, too many tables to say hi to, and my own indecisiveness. Shawn handled all these obstacles very smoothly, kept an eye on the crowd and helped us stay in tune with when we needed to get the dance floor going. He played the songs we requested and helped us out with choosing songs for younger people. Since the wedding went by so quickly, I think the thing I am most grateful for is all the photos and videos he took of the night. The day was a bit of a blur and Shawn let us relive the night by sending us tons of photos and videos of everyone dancing. Thank you for that, Shawn!

I take pride in the fact that I’m a connector and listener. I love getting to know people and learning their stories. And I’m happiest when I’m able to help people take those stories and turn them into something meaningful, whether it’s a wedding ceremony or a marriage proposal or whatever milestone you’re holding space for.

Miri was the perfect wedding officiant for our special day. From the very beginning, Miri's communication style was prompt, thoughtful, and reassuring. She met with us several months before the wedding to learn about us and what we were looking for in our ceremony. Miri then crafted a personalized first draft with lots of wording options for us to choose from, and she carefully pieced together our thoughts to make the ceremony bespoke and meaningful. Miri's work was truly exceptional - she was caring, kind, creative, passionate, and enthusiastic throughout the entire process. We loved the idea of including a peony watering as a symbol of our love, and Miri was so excited to incorporate that element, even selecting an amazing poem to accompany it. Additionally, Miri helped us with our vows and provided thoughtful suggestions - I felt so much more at ease reading my vows for all to hear because of Miri's feedback and support! Miri also met with us for the ceremony rehearsal, ensuring we felt prepared and confident for the big day. We are so grateful to Miri for making our wedding ceremony so memorable and special.

The Rosemary at Spano Lake was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, Jackie and Danny were quick to respond, knowledgeable about their offerings, and easy to work with in planning all the details. On the day of the wedding, they were attentive and went the extra mile to ensure our vision came to life. The venue itself is intimate and naturally beautiful, creating the perfect backdrop for our special day. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding location and highly recommend The Rosemary at Spano Lake to any couple looking for an exceptional venue experience.

I couldn't be happier with my decision to book Brenna for my wedding day! Not only is she an absolute sweetheart, she is a fantastic makeup artist! She did an amazing job on my makeup look as well as my bridesmaids. She paid attention to everyone's inspo pics and provided recommendations on what she thought would look best (and she was right!). She is so fun to talk to and brought such a positive energy to my wedding day. I was so pleased with how my makeup look turned out and it lasted all night (through many, many happy tears). I would absolutely recommend Brenna and will definitely be booking her for future events!

We hired Roundhouse bar service for our 5/24/25 wedding and I couldn’t be more thankful that we did. Wedding planning can be a very stressful process but when you find the right vendors it becomes just a great time. Kelly was amazing. She took away all my worries with our very first conversation. Her kindness and professionalism are second to none. She offered us an excellent selection of what alcohol we wanted served at our wedding. The prices were amazing as well. Communication was great on the months leading up to the wedding. On the day itself, they were perfect. Making sure we had everything we needed and taking wonderful care of our guests. All of our family and friends were impressed with how well everything was done. I very highly recommend Roundhouse for all of your bar service needs. I can promise you, you won’t regret it.

S. Teresa Photography was absolutely amazing to work with. Prior to our wedding she communicated clearly to us what she could offer and her schedule was extremely flexible. She was approachable, easy going and comforting in relaxing us for our engagement photos. She kept us laughing and made it an incredible experience. On the day of the wedding, she and her team followed through with all our requests and worked quickly to ensure we were able to enjoy the wedding day itself. Her team was efficient and ninja-like in positioning themselves for photos. For our personal photos at our venue, she helped to calm us in our excitement for some beautiful pictures. She caught us in our special moment and we reflect fondly on this day through the photos she took. All our photos came out phenomenal and our families love them. They offer a great variety of ways to attain the photos and we enjoyed the flexibility in it. We highly recommend using S. Teresa Photography for your upcoming special events.

Hi, I'm Jaci Berkopec! A self portrait of me would include a frozen pizza, caesar salad bag, and a bottle of white wine. But more importantly I am a wedding, lifestyle and adventure elopement photographer based out of NYC. Weddings and elopements are one of my passions because witnessing love and marriage is one of the most beautiful things we can witness. When shooting with me, expect to have tons of fun and lots of laughs because I like to be weird! Life is too short to be normal! I photograph all types of love.

We 1000000% recommend Jaci for any of your photography needs! She took our engagement photos and shot our wedding last weekend and she is an absolute DREAM to work with. Her confidence, poise, warmth and positivity helped us stay calm and have fun during the busy wedding day. We heard so many compliments from our loved ones who were also so impressed with her attitude and demeanor. And this is all before we saw the photos: her work is UNREAL. We are truly blown away- they are stunning, and capture the JOY and FUN and LOVE we experienced. I get emotional looking at just the sneak peek gallery because it so beautifully memorializes what it felt like on that day, and now we can share it with our grandparents who couldn't make the journey, and ourselves for decades to come. HIRE JACI!!!
