We LOVED our experience with Avalon Yacht Club. From our very first interaction with the yacht club, Jarrod created a space where we wanted to spend time with our friends and family. Jarrod and the AYC team went above and beyond to work with any and all requests that we came up with, and Jarrod truly worked the day of our wedding to ensure it was what we envisioned. The food was INCREDIBLE! We were a little worried when we initially booked as we had never eaten at the yacht club before. Their crab cakes are some of the best we've ever had, and the passed appetizers were 15/10. The AYC worked with our guests that had food allergies (shellfish, egg, beef, vegan, celiac). I cannot recommend the AYC and working with Jarrod enough!!

I cannot recommend Chrys Coles Makeup enough! From my trial to my wedding day (5/30/26), Chrys made me feel beautiful, confident, and completely at ease. She truly listened to what I wanted and created a look that enhanced my natural features while still making me feel like the best version of myself. Heydi worked on my hair and she did a really amazing job on my hair for both the trial and wedding day. She was also able to listen to my request on how I wanted my hair to be done. My makeup and hair lasted all day and night, through photos, dancing, tears, and everything in between. The attention to detail was incredible, and I received so many compliments from family and friends. Besides, myself, my bridesmaids also could not stop complimenting about their hair & makeup work that Chrys Coles Team have accomplished. Not only is Chrys extremely talented, but she is also kind, professional, organized, caring and such a calming presence on a busy wedding morning. I couldn't have asked for anyone else but Chrys. If you're looking for a makeup artist who delivers flawless, long-lasting results and genuinely cares about her clients, I highly recommend Chrys Coles Makeup. I would choose her again! Thank you for helping make my wedding day so special! Love you!

I can't thank her enough for her outstanding professional work!!! Alison perfectly achieved the soft curls and half ponytail I wanted, and her work lasted all day!!!! I danced, sweated, and even did pirouettes, yet my hair and curlers remained impeccable! (This is especially impressive since my natural hair is extremely straight!). They were professional, punctual, kind, and patient. One advantage for me was that they had previously worked at Park Chateau, making navigating the venue easy. Overall, communication with Alison and her team was excellent and prompt. My mom and bridesmaid LOVED their hair and makeup as well. My mom kept saying she couldn't believe how good it looked—it was like she had an Instagram filter on! I highly recommend her 100000000000!! I am incredibly grateful!!!!

If you are looking to have a wedding where your guests do not leave the dance floor the entire night - look no further because JB Pro Live is who you need!! Our DJ, Jan, absolutely exceeded all expectations we had as a DJ for our wedding day. When we met with him before the wedding, we gave him a few of our favorite songs but told him to use his discretion as what was most important to us was having everyone dancing and enjoying themselves. WELL, did he know what he was doing!!! Our dance floor was filled the ENTIRE NIGHT. We had 220 guests at our wedding, and 0 of them were sitting. We have guests who didn't even know we had a photo booth or voicemail booth because they truly did not leave the dance floor one time to look around. Jan reads the room perfectly and truly has a niche for knowing what people like to hear. Our MC Matt was also so great! He helped keep the night on track and made sure we were enjoying ourselves the entire time. He was fun, entertaining, and kept the vibes going! We have had 10 guests ask for our DJs information so they can book him for their own wedding because he really was just that good. After just the first dance set alone, our guests were excited and ready to party because he set the tone perfectly! We also booked a saxophonist through JPBRO as well as a dry ice machine, indoor firework fountains, and the snow effect and they were all perfect! The snow was by far the best addition! It was practically real snow (way better than what we were expecting) and all of our guests went crazy over it! The saxophonist was also a great touch and played practically every song throughout the night which our guests loved! And of course the dry ice machine and indoor firework fountains looked so great in our wedding pictures! Request Jan as your DJ- he is worth every penny and you will not regret it!!! He is absolutely a pro at what he does and you can guarantee that with him, not only will you have the best night of your life, but your guests will as well!

Afterward, countless guests told us how touching the ceremony was, and it’s all thanks to Sandy’s gift for connecting with people. Not only did we have the perfect officiant, but by the end of this journey, we also gained a friend. If you want someone who will go above and beyond to make your ceremony unforgettable, Sandy is the one. We couldn’t imagine our wedding without her.

Maria did a fantastic job photographing our beach wedding. Everything was perfect from the planning to the execution. She thought of everything and gave us lots of great suggestions and the pictures were absolutely perfect. We have used Maria a number of times for family portraits as well, and she is incredible! Highly recommend!

Hi! I’m Shauna — but you can call me Shay. I’m the photographer behind Milestone. What started as a side business in 2015 became my full-time dream in 2022, and I thank God daily that I get to serve amazing couples through my work. I met my husband at 15 and we’ve been together ever since, so love stories have always meant a lot to me. As a wife and mom of two adventurous boys, I know how meaningful life’s biggest milestones are. My goal is to give every couple a relaxed, fun experience and a gallery of memories you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

From our first conversation, Shauna at Milestone Photography made it clear she was someone we could trust. She shared vendor recommendations and wedding site suggestions that genuinely helped us prepare, and showed up ready to work on the day without missing a beat. What sets her apart is how she directs each shot—she has an eye for detail that makes poses feel natural while keeping everything fun and comfortable. Her photos are timeless and breathtaking, capturing those small moments that make your day uniquely yours. Shauna's skill is truly one in a million, and we couldn't have asked for a better fit for our wedding or lifetime photographer!

Madalina Photographer

  • Serves Avalon, NJ

I’m Madalina, a wedding photographer based in Miami and the Jersey Shore, but I’ll happily follow love wherever it takes me. I’ve always been drawn to the quiet, meaningful moments: the way your partner looks at you when you’re not looking, the hug from your mom that lasts a little longer, the feeling of joy that hangs in the air. My approach is calm, intentional, and heartfelt. I want your photos to feel like you: beautiful, honest, and full of soul.

My fiance booked Madalina for a surprise engagement on the beach, I had no idea she was there until after the moment. I am so greatful she was there to capture such a surreal moment. This being our first photoshoot Madalina made us feel so comfortable during it all, not to mention the photos came out absolutely incredible. Thank you!!

I got married 3 weeks ago and I am still OBSESSING over my flowers made by Cascade Queen Designs. I LOVED them! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dana and her small business. If you want to save money on wedding florals that will die in a matter of days, this is the way to do it! Her price was affordable and worth every penny. Dana had excellent communication and would respond to all my questions quickly. She walked me through the process step by step, and she also worked hard to recreate my "inspo" pictures I sent her. She even texted me a suggestion to darken one of the colors I picked so that the colors would be more cohesive. Her instincts were spot on, and I'm so glad I listened to her advice. (Other vendors would have just gone with the original colors I picked and not said a thing to me!) The best part - you get to keep your beautiful bouquets forever! Do not hesitate - hire her for your wedding!

Hello! My name is Fen, nice to meet you online! I’m a freelance cinematographer and editor. I split my time between shooting weddings and indie films. I enjoy doing both because I love the thrill of operating a camera and I love people and stories! I have shot almost 400 weddings and I edit everything myself. In my spare time I love swimming, hiking, skiing, traveling with my family, writing and learning all kinds of stuff. I’m very curious about the world!

Awarded Best of Zola
Fen went above and beyond all our expectations. We got a documentary style wedding video and she truly captured the most special parts of our day. From using a drone to multiple cameras being set up during the ceremony and first dance, Fen did it all! We saw a ton of sweet moments we may have missed and it was the best reliving every second of our special day watching our video. The background music she chose was beautiful, and the sound was crisp and clear. There wasn’t a part that she missed! Fen blended right in! We hardly noticed the camera out so she truly got some really candid moments. We could not recommend Fen more! Her work is beautiful and she is extremely kind and calm—definitely someone you want around on your day!

Oh my goodness where do I begin?! The experience of having our wedding at Resorts Casino has been nothing short of amazing. Nancy is an absolute treasure and pleasure to work with from start to finish. With the help of Anthony they turned our magical day into an absolute dream that not only we enjoyed but all of our guest. We had a serious loss in our family two months before our wedding and Nancy took a lot of weight off of our shoulders and came up with solutions to help us get through the day. Nancy and he team are there for you every step of the way and make you feel like royalty, treating you like gold. In a historic place like Resorts casino is a great place to have a wedding for not only the old school Atlantic City feel but the food and hospitality is out of this world. The chef created food that had our family and friends talking days after the wedding. We will forever have this wonderful memory of our wedding day and it is all because of Nancy, Anthony, and Resorts Casino for making our dreams come true. There is a true love for them all!

Being able to look back, remember the great laughs, and reminisce a particular night is what we all look forward to. Our goal is to help everyone remember one of the best nights by telling your story through our eyes. There is no better compliment than for you to show your loved ones what happened through one of the best days of your lives.

Victor with Victory Photographs was a lifesaver after we had issues with our original photographer and had to find a replacement. He was responsive, kind, and respectful in all of our communications leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, Victor struck the perfect balance between guiding us to get great photos while also letting my husband and I enjoy our reception. His friendly demeanor put us at ease. The end results speak for themselves - Victor captured all of the special moments of our wedding beautifully with his high quality work. My husband and I felt relieved knowing we were in good hands with Victor. We'd highly recommend him to any couple looking for a talented, professional photographer who also makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera.
