Seamless I Do's was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, their communication was efficient, clear, and professional. The quality of their work was truly stellar - they were incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of. Bebe was heaven sent. She coordinated all the vendor meals and even ran out to buy additional flowers when my mother expressed concern over the size of her mother of the bride bouquet. I cannot recommend Seamless I Do's highly enough - they made our special day run seamlessly from start to finish.

Avenel, NJ
  • Florist

Hello everyone👋 My name is Karynna! I am 28 years old, born and raised in New Jersey and a momma to a beautiful little Girl🦋. I have a background in event planning which I loved doing for many years! Afterwards, I transitioned to the travel industry and met so many amazing people along the way. When Covid started, I unfortunately lost my job since the travel industry was greatly impacted. At that time, I didn’t know what was next for me.. but I did know my dream was to do floral design.

Karynna is absolutely AMAZING at what she does. I’ll be the first to say, I know nothing about flowers. I told her that on our consultation call and she brought my vision to life with me barely even knowing what I wanted. The whole night of our wedding, everyone was complimenting how beautiful the decor was and it was all because of her! She set everything up, and even met up with me before I walked down the aisle to see if I liked how everything was set up. Beautiful work, I would hire her again and again!!

10/10/10/10 would recommend Chris and Limitless Entertainment to DJ your wedding, birthday or any event requiring music. Chris was very professional, super fun to work with, and had a similar music style to our, which was a benefit to making our wedding the party that wanted to go all night long. As an audio technician in the entertainment industry, my expectations were really high, but his immediate professionalism and charisma in our initial interactions are what made me want to sign a contract with them. The communication was clear and concise throughout the whole process and he made the music at my husband and I's wedding a dream come true. I literally had so many friends and family say that they couldn't stop dancing all night and that this was the most fun that they've ever had at a wedding and it was all thanks to Chris and Limitless Entertainment! Thank you for making it a night we will remember for the rest of our lives!

I texted Laura the day of my wedding because I felt like she needed to know my first tears were shed when I saw my bouquet. Words cannot describe how perfect it was. Laura took everything me and my partner asked for and ran with it. Florals were a very big piece of our wedding and I really feel like we asked the perfect person to bring them to life. Not only were the florals perfect but my mom stopped me the day after my wedding just to tell me she ran into Laura and she was "just so kind". 100/10 would recommend hiring her for your wedding.

The Butterfly Effect Weddings

  • Planner

  • Starts at $2,950
  • Serves Avenel, NJ

Hey It's Amalia and Jenna! A wife and wife duo who as real life partners bring that same level of trust, teamwork, and care into every wedding we’re part of. With backgrounds in hospitality, design, and event planning, we work side by side to create celebrations that feel organized, thoughtful, and beautifully put together! Our name comes from the butterfly effect the idea that small, intentional moments can turn into something truly special. We’re big believers that it’s the little details, thoughtful choices, and behind the scenes care that end up making the biggest difference on your wedding day, and that mindset guides everything we do!

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very first meeting with Jenna and Amalia, I knew they were the ones to help plan my special day. I didn’t need to meet with anyone else — I clicked with them immediately. Their warmth, kindness, and creativity put me completely at ease, and throughout the planning process they always came prepared with thoughtful ideas and solutions. Our planning meetings honestly felt more like I was just hanging out with my best friends than a meeting with my wedding planners. On the day of my wedding, I was full of nerves and anxiety — until I saw them step out of the car. In that moment, all of the stress lifted. Jenna and Amalia have such a calming presence; they anticipated every detail, solved problems before they even reached me, and made sure I could be fully present and enjoy my day. And honestly they are just FUN to be around. My wedding couldn’t have been more perfect, and so much of that is thanks to them. Somewhere between the planning meetings, the endless texts, and the joy of the wedding day, Jenna and Amalia became more than planners — they became people I want in my life forever. My family absolutely fell in love with them too; we’re already planning dinners and future hangouts. That’s the kind of impact they have — they don’t just plan weddings, they become part of your story. I cannot recommend The Butterfly Effect Weddings enough. If you want planners who will not only execute your vision flawlessly but also make the entire process joyful and stress-free, Jenna and Amalia are it. They will forever hold a special place in my heart.

I’ve known Norman (and the newlyweds) for years, and watching him lead the ceremony was truly amazing. I had the pleasure of being a bridesmaid, and they honestly couldn’t have picked a better officiant! He made everything feel so warm and personal, heartfelt, and even a little fun! He gave us smiles, he gave us laughs, and he perfectly captured the couple’s personalities. Weddings can be hectic and stressful, but he made sure that on the big day they were calm, confident, and completely at ease in front of everyone. It was very natural, very organic, and I loved that. The ceremony flowed beautifully, and so many of us were smiling, laughing, and even tearing up at the perfect moments. The bridesmaids cried, the groomsmen cried, we all cried. But it was all happy tears, such a beautiful thing to be apart of! We all had such a great time, and you could just tell how much thought and care he put into making their day special. If you want someone who’s professional, warm, and makes the whole experience unforgettable, someone who’s going to reflect on your personalities and your journey as a couple, and someone to really move and make your guests feel that love in the atmosphere, Norman is the man to call! You surely won’t regret it.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very beginning, Park Château made the entire wedding process feel like an absolute dream. The moment I stepped onto the grounds for the first time, I knew it was the perfect venue—I could already picture our wedding day there. As a Type A bride, I deeply appreciated how responsive and helpful Devin was throughout planning. Every question I had was answered quickly, and every concern met with care. The team was incredibly accommodating, honoring the vision we had for a meaningful, multicultural celebration. They worked with us to alter the stations so I could incorporate my Filipino heritage and allowed us to bring in soju to represent my husband’s Korean culture. Every request, no matter how detailed, was thoughtfully considered—it genuinely felt like their mission was to bring our dreams to life. On the day of the wedding, the service was impeccable. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty. Danielle kept us relaxed by constantly checking on us, keeping the suite clean, steaming dresses last-minute, and making sure we were well-fed and comfortable. Once we were ready, Jeremiah and Justin took care of my husband and me with such attention, joy, and professionalism that we never once had to think or worry about a thing. They truly went above and beyond!! They made sure our hair was never out of place, carried my lipstick for touch-ups, managed my train, cape-veil with ease, shaded me from the sun, and brought cold water (with a straw for makeup!) every 30 minutes. When my dress got dirty during photos (which I was mentally prepared for!), they were on the ground scrubbing it clean and blow-drying it dry—both of them. Later on the dance floor, they cooled me down with a cold cloth and made sure I stayed hydrated, all while keeping the energy light and fun. I could go on and on because these were just a few things they took care of for us that day! They made us laugh, checked in on us emotionally, and truly felt like part of our celebration. Their presence made the day even more magical. Our guests were blown away—not just by the sheer amount of food, but by the quality and taste of everything, from cocktail hour to dinner to the drinks. Everyone thought the grounds and venue were so beautiful and it all ran so smoothly! We've had so many guests tell us it was one of the best weddings they've ever attended, and we couldn’t agree more. Park Château truly knows what they’re doing. I wish I could relive the day all over again—it was absolutely perfect. Thank you to the entire Park Château team for giving us a wedding day beyond our wildest dreams.

Our wedding day at The Hamilton Manor was an absolute fairytale, more beautiful and magical than we ever could have imagined. From the moment we began planning to the very last song of the night, we felt completely cared for, supported, and celebrated. Diana, our wedding director, made the entire planning process feel effortless. She brought such calm, confidence, and organization to every step. No question was too small, no detail overlooked. Because of her, we were able to truly enjoy our engagement knowing everything was in the best hands. On our wedding day, Kristen ensured that everything flowed perfectly. I never once felt stressed or overwhelmed because she was always one step ahead, quietly making sure each moment unfolded exactly as it should. She allowed us to be fully present, soaking in every second without worry. Milan, my bridal attendant, was truly my fairy godmother. She anticipated needs before I even realized I had them. From adjusting my dress to making sure I had water, a moment to breathe, or anything at all, she made me feel so special and cared for. I will never forget the comfort and kindness she showed me throughout the day. Lloyd, our maitre d’, went above and beyond in every possible way. If our hands were empty, he was there with a drink. If we or our families needed anything, he was already taking care of it. His attentiveness, warmth, and genuine care did not go unnoticed. He made us and our loved ones feel incredibly important. And the food was beyond incredible. Truly a 1000 out of 10. Our guests are still talking about it and telling us they have never experienced a wedding quite like ours. The quality, presentation, and service were exceptional. Hearing our friends and family say it was the nicest wedding they have ever attended means everything to us, and that is such a testament to The Hamilton Manor and the amazing team behind it. We wish we could relive the day over and over again and somehow make it last longer. It was elegant, joyful, seamless, and filled with love. We are endlessly grateful to The Hamilton Manor for giving us the wedding of our dreams and memories we will cherish forever. With all our love and gratitude, Alissa and Jarred

We truly cannot say enough incredible things about Shelby! From the very beginning, she went above and beyond anything we could have imagined. From our engagement shoot to our wedding day- she captured all the important moments and little details. Our wedding day was a beautiful snowy winter wonderland, and Shelby handled it like an absolute pro. Not only did she embrace the snowy weather, but she made it feel magical. She captured the most stunning shots in the middle of it all. The way she used the snow made our photos look straight out of a fairytale. Beyond her incredible talent, Shelby was organized, supportive, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. She helped keep everything running smoothly and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. When we received our sneak peeks, we were blown away.

I’m a drummer, a mother of two amazing kids, and a proud owner of an 80lb Samoyed. My passion for photography is deeply influenced by my family legacy—my grandmother was a dedicated full-time photographer who spent her life capturing and hand-coloring her own images. Growing up immersed in her art has profoundly shaped my own approach to photography. As a photographer, I'd love to capture the journey of two people in love, telling the genuine and touching story of their life together. I strive to create images that convey heartfelt narratives and reflect the true essence of your relationship and the moments you share.

We LOVED doing our engagement photos with Momo! She was lovely and communicative throughout the whole process. When the forecast called for rain, she offered to reschedule, which I thought was really nice. Both my fiance and I are usually a little shy behind the camera but Momo made us so comfortable and it was easy to forget she was even there sometimes. Afterwards, my fiance couldn’t stop talking about how much fun he had (“I just got to kiss you for an hour!”). She was also great with our big, goofy dog. The pictures, which she sent in two days, exceeded all our expectations. They are so amazing and special for us to have, and everyone is gushing about them! We couldn’t be happier we went with Momo.

Jing was the best florist I could've imagined. I had a very specific vision for my florals and Jing helped bring it to life. In the planning process, she helped me make what I wanted work within my budget, never pressuring me to add more or saying what I wanted was impossible (an insane claim I heard from other florists who wanted more money). She encouraged me to use florals from my ceremony during my reception and they came out beautifully. She decorated my sweet heart table with all of our bouquets. Everything held up wonderfully and many guests took flowers home. I can't recommend Jing and Hexacres florals enough!!!

Ashley is so talented! We knew each other before hand from school so I knew I wanted her to do my make up. We did a trial a few months before to see how we wanted to practice for the day of at her studio which was super convenient. We were able to make a few adjustments if needed. On my wedding day, she came so prepared and was able to do 9 girls in a fair amount of time. She even left me with a little lipstick to reapply after she left. I absolutely loved my make up, it was natural but classy without being caked on and I still felt like myself. I truly enjoy her company and her services. Her prices were very fair especially due to her certifications and experience. I've recommended her to many and my sister is even going to use her for her wedding!
