We can't say enough about Shore Catering and what Summer did for us. She didn't just cater our wedding—she actually helped us find our venue too, which was such a huge relief during the planning process. From our first conversation through the big day, Summer was responsive, kind, and always there when we needed her, whether we were calling or emailing with questions. On the wedding day itself, she and her team moved quickly and handled everything that came up, keeping our guests happy and fed with delicious food in our beautiful space. Summer's hard work and problem-solving made our day feel effortless, and we're so grateful to have found someone who truly cared about making our wedding special.

We had a great experience with Pulse Event Group for our wedding!

He sent along a planning packet for us to start thinking about what we wanted, and also sent some check-in emails as we got close to our wedding day.

  • Officiant

  • Serves Bay Head, NJ

Hitched! By Harper is where unforgettable ceremonies meet authentic storytelling. I’m a firefighter-turned-award-winning officiant who crafts one-of-a-kind wedding experiences rooted in joy, meaning, and a touch of humor. Since 2010, I’ve helped couples of all backgrounds feel seen, celebrated, and totally at ease on their big day. Every ceremony is written from scratch to reflect your vibe, your values, and your story—not a template in sight.

My fiancé and I had Kevin officiate our wedding in August of 2025, and it was one of the best wedding decisions we made in the whole process! We were struggling on who we wanted to officiate our non-denominational ceremony, and with one month until our wedding day we found multiple recommendations for Hitched by Harper. The process was so easy, and for not knowing him personally, we had no less than 10 people on our wedding day asking something to the affect of “the officiant was amazing and personable, how did you know each other” and we actually had a friend book him for a wedding shortly after! Kevin was beyond impressive and we would recommend him and his services to anyone! If I could give this more than 5 stars I would.

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.

We cannot recommend Madalina enough! She photographed both our engagement session and our wedding, so by the time our big day came, she already felt like family. She has such a calming and fun personality that made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, and that made all the difference. On our wedding day, she arrived right on time and got straight to work. She was organized, professional, and captured every special moment so effortlessly. She made taking photos feel natural instead of stressful, and we never had to worry because we knew we were in great hands. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she genuinely cares about her couples and it shows in everything she does. We are so grateful we chose her to capture one of the most important days of our lives, and we'll treasure these memories forever. If you're looking for someone who is talented, reliable, and feels more like a friend than just your photographer, she's the one!

Cam and the LEDG Entertainment team absolutely crushed it!!! The dance floor was packed the entire time and we had numerous guests during and after the night tell us how it was by far the best DJ/music they’ve ever experienced at a wedding.  From the start of the process Cam did an incredible job of understanding our vision and the type of music/vibe we wanted to have. Cam was extremely organized and personable, and the 3 pre-wedding calls we had with him were super beneficial to building trust and ensuring the night went as smoothly as possible. These meetings were very productive, and by the time we were through with them, we knew we had made the right choice. By the end, Cam felt more like a genuine friend than somebody we were hiring. He gave honest feedback, made several recommendations, and worked with us through numerous changes. When it came to execution, Cam and his team were very professional and delivered beyond expectations. They played all the songs we wanted to hear and even included their own creative touch with some amazing remixes and twists. They kept the crowd at high energy all night long and made sure every guest was having a great time. I think we spent 95% of our night on the dance floor having an absolute blast, and thats just the way we wanted to remember the night. We seriously cannot thank Cam and LEDG Entertainment enough for an unforgettable experience. For any couple looking to have the best night ever, we give LEDG Entertainment our highest Recommendation!

This is what dreams are made of. When I was a little girl, I had big dreams about what my future wedding would look like. As I got older and realized how much everything costs, I started to think my dream wedding would stay just that—a dream. But one thing never changed: I always wanted to get married in a little white chapel and walk down the aisle to the sound of a violin. Petya made that dream come true. From the moment I first reached out to her, we instantly connected. I knew, without a doubt, that no matter where we ended up getting married, she had to be a part of it. I’d listen to her music on YouTube and just melt. She’s cheerful yet calming, incredibly talented, and truly helped put me at ease throughout the process. The morning of my wedding was stressful, but Petya texted me with encouragement, lifting my spirits and getting me excited for the day ahead. Guests even told me how beautiful the atmosphere was as they waited for my arrival—all because of the ambiance she created through her music. As the church doors opened and I saw my soon-to-be husband standing at the altar, the sound of Petya’s violin made it feel like I was walking into a dream. I couldn’t see anyone else—it was as if her melody was wrapping around just the two of us. It might sound dramatic, but we had a very Christian ceremony, and we asked her to play worship music. It made the moment feel sacred, like God’s presence was truly among us. At the end of the ceremony, I ran up to her and couldn’t help but gush about how incredible she was. She gave us our fairytale moment.

Jillian was fantastic. We had family photos done and my girls loved her and she made it look so easy having them cooperate lol. It didn’t feel like just a business transaction - she was patient, approachable, listened to what our vision was and tried to make it happen and DID! It felt as if we already knew her because of how comfortable we were. You can tell that she genuinely has a passion for photography through her work and watching her snap photos of your kids on her own when they are candidly being cute and saying how she could help it because “ they are just too adorable” This was our first experience with taking professional photos outside and not in a studio at the mall. It was worth the entire experience and I can’t thank her enough! I highly recommend and have been recommending her to everyone because I’ve gotten so many compliments and we got so many good photos!!

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.

I first saw Shay’s incredible work at my best friend’s wedding and knew I had to book her. After a really disappointing photo experience during my engagement, finding the right photographer was my biggest "pain point" and my top priority. I was so nervous, but Shay did SO good. From the moment she arrived, she was a genuine, supportive presence who made me feel effortlessly beautiful the whole day. She isn’t just talented behind the lens; she is incredibly sweet and kind, which made a world of difference for my confidence. Beyond the photos, she was a total pro to work with. She recommended several of my other vendors and collaborated seamlessly with everyone on our team. If I could hire her 100 times over, I would in a heartbeat. If you want a photographer who truly cares about how you feel as much as how you look, book Shay immediately!

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.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience during our engagement shoot! From the moment we arrived, the energy was infectious — we were laughing, moving, and genuinely having the time of our lives. It never once felt like a photoshoot; it felt like spending the afternoon with a friend who just happened to have a camera. What truly set our photographer apart was the perfect balance of fun and professionalism. They kept the session lighthearted and exciting while never losing their sharp eye for the details that make a photo extraordinary — the way the light hit just right, thoughtful staging of every scene, and gentle, natural posing direction that made us both feel completely at ease in front of the camera. No stiff, awkward poses here — every shot felt candid and authentic. Their patience was also something we deeply appreciated. They never rushed us, always made sure we were comfortable, and took the time to get each shot exactly right. You can feel that care and intentionality in every single image. And the final photos? Absolutely stunning. The quality speaks for itself — crisp, vibrant, and full of genuine emotion. We are so in love with every single one and will treasure them forever. If you are on the fence, consider this your sign to book them immediately. You will not regret it for a single second. We are already counting down the days until our wedding so we can work with them again!

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!!!!

My love for photography was born when I picked up a camera and started shooting street photography as a hobby. This hobby quickly took over my entire life! Thankfully, combined with my editing and retouching skills, I was able to turn my passion into a career. Owning and running Wild Hearts has been the one of my greatest joys! I love truly love capturing your real life moments and emotions. Yes I am organized as hell and type A, but balance that with heavy doses of standing back and just capturing the moment as it’s happening. I feel a real connection with all the wild hearts out there, and would love it if you let me capture yours!

Kamelia and Allyson nailed it! From consultation to wedding day, I couldn’t have asked for anything better. They worked really hard to bring our vision to life and we’re such an important part of a day that we will never forget. Besides being awesome people they are so amazing at what they do. Best decision ever.!!!

JB Productions DJ’d my wedding on 9/7. The whole team was fantastic! They provided us with a website that had every detail customized to me. They set up our up lighting, GOBO light, and photo booth. We received so many compliments on the Photo Booth and gave me a book with every picture at the end. Ryan and Kenny on the mic killed it. Not one person was in their seats. Thank you to the whole team!!

Ashley and her team helped make our day perfect. They made sure all my decor was setup beautifully, including some 100 candles between the ceremony and reception, and everything ran smoothly. If anything went wrong, I have no idea what it is. Ashley also did my flowers, not only was it one less thing for me to worry about, since she and her team would be there anyway making everything look right, but the flowers were perfect!
