Vici Design

Carmel, NY
  • Cakes & desserts
  • Starts at $200
  • Offer

At Vici Design, we believe your wedding cake should be more than just a dessert. It's a reflection of your unique love story, a centerpiece that adds a touch of elegance and sweetness to your celebration.

As someone who truly values wedding cake, there was a lot of pressure from family and friends. Victoria and I chatted directly several times, and mostly because she was so lovely I wanted to talk to her more. She is an INCREDIBLE artist with true talent for bringing flavors and designs to life. This cake was so stunning it stole the show! She is communicative, transparent, kind, and thoughtful. The entire process was executed flawlessly.

Weefan Photography 

5.0

Carmel, NY
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,595

My name is Lauren McCarthy. My parents, photographers Wendy & Charlie McCarthy began Weefan Photography in 2001. At 11, I started watching them photograph events and weddings, and the first wedding I photographed, just as I remember my first day of school. For the past fourteen years, I have mastered each and every job related to the wedding photography business. After graduating from Siena college in 2019, I was invited by my parents to manage our family's business of professional photography, and assume the duties of managing our New York Office. ​

Weefan was referred to us by my husband's best friend and I was not disappointed. Lauren was so amazing to work with from the moment I reached out to even after my wedding. She's very responsive and knowledgeable about the industry and it's different trends. The day of the wedding, Lauren and her team came in and took control. There wasn't one moment I was worried things weren't going to come out how I wanted them. They even stayed a little later to take a few extra family photos for us. When we got our sneak peeks back, I was absolutely in love! They were amazing and I cannot wait to receive the rest of our photos! If you're thinking of booking Weefan Photography, definitely do it. You will not be disappointed!

Skylark Music 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Carmel, NY

Jesse and Justin have been playing music together since they met performing in a band at Disneyland in 2001. After moving to Beacon, NY around the same time, it made sense to start an official wedding music business to share their love of music with some of the many happy couples getting married in the Hudson Valley. One thing they love about playing music for weddings is the variety that is required of them. Every gig is different and they all happen on one of the happiest days of the clients' lives!

Awarded Best of Zola
We learned of Skylark just from the internet and are very happy to say we picked the perfect group. Skylark was everything we hoped for. They are wonderful musicians and lent just the right atmosphere to my daughter's brunch- under- tents wedding. They were very responsive to any questions we had and gently guided us through our selections for the ceremony and reception. And they are reasonably priced. Many guests complimented us on our choice of Skylark after the wedding. Do not hesitate to contact them.

We found Tyler at a wedding expo and I’m sooo glad we did! We originally didn’t want a videographer but seeing his work at the expo, guided us to picking Tyler. He is very professional, walks you through the process, makes you comfortable and worked amazing with our photographer who he’s never met. The video is mind blowing and I watch it every other day. You don’t only get one short video. You get a trailer and you get a few videos. We received it super quick as well! I HIGHLYYYYY recommend Tyler! Don’t hesitate and pick him for your day!

Justin was lovely to work with from the start. He was booked for another wedding, but he paired us up with Rob, an associate DJ of his. Both Rob and Justin were so so fun to work with. Rob took the time to text or set up whatever zoom calls we felt we needed. For the actual day, Rob was amazing. We had dinner service, reception, and "after party". Robs killed it with his flow between songs, and was incredibly accommodating and flexible if we had any requests in the moment, and was able to dodge or handle any "questionable" song requests that came his way. We knew that he always put my husband and I's wishes first. We also had multiple people comment on how good the DJ was during the reception, and after the fact! He also went above and beyond to pull heroics the day of to get some of our DIY spot lighting set up that wasn't set up the night prior. Rob was incredible to work with, and just as fun to chat with. Will miss working with them, but absolutely will be following their journeys and would use them again in a heartbeat! So thankful for Justin and Rob!

My name is Bekah Polonsky, a seasoned makeup artist and certified sanitation specialist from the prestigious Makeup Academy by Nina Mua in Manhattan. With over a decade immersed in the world of makeup, I've seamlessly merged my lifelong passion with my profession. I specialize in the intersection of free-spirited creativity and meticulous skill, offering a unique blend that sets me apart. If you're in search of a makeup artist who effortlessly combines artistic flair with precision, look no further—I'm here for you! Connect with me if any of my services pique your interest. Let's collaborate and create something truly beautiful together.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment I connected with Bekah, I could tell that we would work perfectly together. Bekah's clear dedication to her craft, her expertise, and of course, her incredibly positive demeanor made her the clear choice. Bekah communicated clearly with me from the initial inquiry email up until we were scheduling start time for wedding day. She was incredibly flexible with dates and times for the makeup trial, with adding in my grandmother when she arrived last minute for the wedding from outside the US, and was open to feedback when it came to final looks and any adjustments that needed to be made. Bekah is also skilled in hair and was able to assist with touch ups/adjustments. She was an absolute lifesaver when I was searching for a hair stylist for the big day, her experience and connections in the wedding industry really came through and found someone that was just as flexible and enjoyable to work with, who also happened to be in my price range for services! Bekah's positive demeanor helped keep me calm and cool on wedding day when I was stressed about a million and one things, always giving a laugh when needed and reassurance. She truly made me feel the most beautiful I ever have in my whole life and my look lasted well into the evening, even after dancing and sweating for hours! My mother and the rest of my party had such a great experience as well, everyone looked so wonderful, especially since my mother was a bit hesitant to have her makeup done since she doesn't typically use anything other than lipstick. I hope there's a chance for me to have Bekah's services again because she was just oh so incredible! You truly could not go wrong with Bekah and her services for your wedding day 3

We are so lucky to have had Anecdote Photography as our wedding photographers. From the moment we first spoke with them, their communication style was immediate, detail-oriented, friendly, and respectful. The quality of their work was flawless - the photos are beautiful and creative, and they had such an easygoing presence that put us at ease on our wedding day. Eddie, our lead photographer, was one of the best parts of our special day. He was extremely organized and helped lay out the timeline perfectly, and he was so thoughtful - he even had extra bobby pins on hand when my hair needed a touch-up, and he helped the groomsmen with their boutonnieres at the church. We cannot recommend Anecdote Photography highly enough - their attention to detail is impeccable, and they are truly wonderful to work with. Please consider them for your next event!

You know that all encompassing feeling when you’re revisiting a vivid memory? You can smell the fresh air, feel the way the sun hits your face just so, hear the voice of the loved one next to you, remember the joke that they delivered and instantly you’re laughing all over again. That magic is what I hope to capture as your photographer. It’s my job to hold those moments in time so that they don’t have to fade. You’ll forever be able to revisit the moment, see the exact way they smiled, revisit that incredible sunset, relive the memory and turn back time.

Working with Scott and his band was the best decision we made on our wedding day. We had a very specific vision where we would have a jazz quartet during the cocktail hour and have the pianist and bassist play classical music during the cocktail hour. While this was an atypical setup (usually Cello and Piano), Scott's band was up to the challenge and they absolutely nailed it! I even got to get up and sing a Sinatra standard, and play a tune on trumpet with the cocktail band to my now wife! What great energy the group had, they welcomed me in with open arms and smiles, and we really couldn't have asked for a more perfect day!

We recently had our wedding at The Barn at Black Walnut Farm, and it was extraordinary. From the moment we first toured the venue, we knew it was the perfect place for us. Jim and Sarah have poured so much heart and craftsmanship into restoring this historic barn, preserving its rustic charm while modernizing it in all the right places. 

The property itself is breathtaking, with thoughtfully designed spaces that make you feel completely immersed in nature. The rose garden and front yard provided great photo opportunities, not just for us but for all our guests.
 Our ceremony in the forest site was an absolute dream. The setting created a truly magical, intimate atmosphere. It was the most picturesque backdrop for such a meaningful moment, and we can’t imagine having said our vows anywhere else.
 The true gem of the property, however, is the historic house. Staying in this house was an unforgettable experience, and my family is already looking forward to returning for years to come.
 The Barn at Black Walnut Farm is more than just a venue—it’s an experience and a place where memories are made. Jim and Sarah are not just venue owners; they are passionate, thoughtful hosts who truly care about every couple’s special day. We feel so honored to have celebrated our wedding here and cannot recommend it highly enough.

Allyse Pulliam Photography Inc. is a wife and husband partnership between award-winning photojournalist Allyse Pulliam and wedding photographer extraordinaire Nick Gross. We are down-to-earth, fun, and flexible, and we love our jobs. Our goal is to capture joyful, emotional, and artistic photos of your day and for you to feel happy and comfortable while we do it. We don't care who you are, where you are from, what you did (but extra points if it was cool), as long as you love each other. We are currently located in Newburgh, NY and will happily travel to anywhere you may be

Our first experience with Allyse & Nick were at my sister's wedding. My husband and I knew at the time, they were our go-to when it came time for our wedding. Allyse and Nick made my notoriously unphotogenic husband loosen up and enjoy the process - he actually said he liked how he looked in the pictures for once! I don't think I have ever seen a picture of myself and felt beautiful, but her pictures truly do. I cant stop looking at them. I don't think I would have ever been able to capture the love that my husband & I have for each other on film without them. I can truly relive the fun and energy with all 1500 pictures I now have from that day! From our engagement photos to our big day they were amazing! They were willing to travel 3hours to come with us on this ride & even ran into a corn field to get the shot! They are going to be our family photographers, we're just waiting for the next sister to get moving!

  • Offers 6 services
  • Starts at $3,600

Dhalia Events is an award winning event production company & was recently named "Best Planners in the Northeast" by LuxLife Magazine. Our magic is borne out of an insistence on creating bespoke, highly personalized experiences. We focus on the uniqueness of our couples by encouraging them to be their most authentic and raw selves. We've commissioned events for large brands such as Volvo Cars and worked with top tier social media influencers to plan their events. Our team has also worked regionally and internationally producing gatherings including destination weddings & corporate retreats. Our couples book us for the following reasons:

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Dhalia Events was one of the best decisions we made when we were planning our wedding. I am skeptical of the wedding industry in general, but I am convinced that wedding coordinators like Deliece and Melissa are skilled, experienced professionals in a niche field who can make a huge difference in the quality of your experience. And what's the point if you don't get to enjoy your wedding experience? Here are some specific things that Deliece and Melissa did that were super-helpful on the day of: 1) I couldn't find the body tape I had bought, but they had some on hand. 2) I needed to stay hydrated after I got my makeup done, so they provided straws so I could drink without messing up my lipstick. 3) The groom's vest had fallen to the bottom of his garment bag after we dry cleaned it, but they had a portable steamer and were able to get the wrinkles out. 4) They arranged a tent for our DJ for the ceremony, which was outdoors, when they discovered at the last minute that the contract required a tent rain-or-shine. 5) They made sure we ate dinner (and dessert). 6) They made sure waitstaff were replacing our drinks at regular intervals during the reception. 7) They brought a handheld portable fan, which was a lifesaver since it was more than 90 degrees outside. 8) They provided transportation around the property, which was a vineyard that wasn't very walkable in my nice shoes. 9) A friend left something in their car by accident at the end of the night, and they arranged to mail it to her a few days later. All of these things were nice surprises. It's not like we asked them to bring straws, it didn't even occur to us that we'd need them. But Deliece and Melissa brought them anyway because this is their job and they know what they're doing. They were PREPARED. I also want to note that I did not buy full wedding planning services from them, just month-of coordination, but they never treated me like a less important client. There were cases in the months leading up to the wedding where I asked them for help that was actually outside the scope of services we had agreed on, and they were very professional in letting me know that it wasn't included in my package. I appreciate that they enforced their boundaries so politely and respectfully-- I like that in a person. Overall, I can't recommend Dhalia Events highly enough.

Please read—our experience was nothing short of amazing! We got married at Liberty View Farm this past Saturday, and The Wedding Foundry made our day absolutely unforgettable. Billiam and Erica truly have a gift and such a special thing going. Our day ran seamlessly, and we couldn’t have been happier. From a touching ceremony that had our guests in tears, to AMAZING food that people are still talking about (definitely not your typical “wedding food”), to the abundance of gorgeous florals that Ivan brought to life even more beautifully than I dreamed—it was all perfection. Cathy went above and beyond setting up our personal décor exactly how I envisioned and created a tablescape that looked like it came straight out of a fairytale. The planning process was also so smooth—they made it easy to choose menus, drinks, and all the little details, and they were always quick to respond to any questions, which gave us so much peace of mind. We also loved how this is such an “all-inclusive” venue, which relieved so much of the stress of finding vendors. You can tell everyone they use works together all the time, which makes the whole experience seamless. For anything not included, Billiam provided excellent recommendations (music, Airbnbs, hair & makeup), which made everything so easy. Throughout it all, Erica and Billiam were patient, reassuring, and accommodating—even when I asked to change our ceremony spot last minute! They welcomed me back to pick a new space and made me feel completely confident. I was also nervous about florals matching with my bridesmaids’ dresses and family colors, and they kept promising me I would love it. They were right—it was beyond perfect. This is the most unique, special farm and venue I’ve ever seen, and it felt exactly like “us.” The entire team—Erica, Billiam, Ivan, Cathy, and everyone involved—are so talented, kind, and detail-oriented. They truly care about making each wedding magical, and it shows in every moment. We could not have asked for more, and we will forever be grateful for the memories they created for us.

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I had Lou DJ our upstate wedding and it was more than we could have dreamed of. From the beginning, he was nothing but professional. He met with us multiple times prior to the event to go over music selection, flow of the ceremony day etc. His website was very easy to use and allowed us to have a large role in our music selection for the day, even for the reception dance portion. Everything was reviewed at least 3 times to ensure there were no hiccups, and also to make sure we wouldn't have to worry about anything on the ceremony day. On the day, Lou came in very early to setup and his equipment was extremely unobtrusive and sounded amazing. From the ceremony to reception (and especially cocktail hour), the sound was fantastic and there was not a single hiccup (even with an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour!). His flow through the reception was so smooth - and as a former college radio DJ, his music choice to fill in the gaps between the 'must plays' we sent him were impeccable!!! If you have a big heart for music and want it to be the backbone of any great party while having one of the most professional guys out there - Lou is 100% your guy. Thanks again Lou!!!!

Lynette and Bryndon are the best around! I used them for both my photo and video, and they give you nothing but perfection! Everything came out better than I expected. They arrived on time if not early. They were very respectful in the church. They learned my entire bridal party’s names so instead of saying “you” and pointing, they said their actual names. They were very encouraging to my husband and I throughout the day, and very helpful with anything we needed. They also were very helpful before the wedding day. Lynette helped me figure out timing for the day, and that truly helped it run smoothly and on time. They gave us a large “sneak peak” within two weeks of the wedding, and then had the entire wedding album back around 3 months. The videos came back about a month and a half after the wedding. They shot my cousins wedding back in 2021, and my friends wedding in 2023 so by my wedding they truly felt like the are apart of my family. I highly recommend pioneer media for your photography and videography needs!!

We had the most amazing time at Diamond Mills Hotel! The venue is BEAUTIFUL, and the staff is wonderful to work with. My husband and I also loved exploring Saugerties! Planning a wedding in two months was challenging, but booking Diamond Mills for our wedding venue was the best decision ever! We loved working with Stephanie, Carrie, and Brianne. They are highly organized and professional. Our wedding day was truly magical! Our guests had a wonderful time! We also really appreciate how the staff working on the day of our wedding ensured that my husband and I ate well (and remembered to eat as we interacted with our guests). The food served was delicious and we loved our wedding cake! Another great thing about booking the wedding at Diamond Mills is that the hotel is attached to the wedding venue - it was very convenient for us and our guests! We received a good discount for our hotel block. The wedding package they offer at Diamond Mills Hotel is truly well-rounded! Beautiful venue with indoor and outdoor spaces, catering, open bar, wedding cake, and supportive and amazing staff to help you plan your wedding and ensure that everything runs smoothly during the day of the wedding all for a reasonable price! I used some rental decorations, and the staff made sure to carefully pack everything at the end of the night, so shipping and packing up the following day was easy! We highly recommend Diamond Mills!

Awarded Best of Zola
Ani was a visionary who truly made my dream come to life. My fiance and I love plants and flowers; however, it was important to us to do some of our own arrangements as well as utilizing a reasonably priced florist to help us cover the bigger arrangements/bouquets, without sacrificing quality of the flowers. Enter Ani! Not only was she extremely reasonable in her pricing and flexible in terms of not having a minimum spend requirement, but the flowers she provided were perfection. The vision board she created for our day, and her communication throughout the process (including meetings a month out since I had some changes in mind) was nothing but kind and professional. 10/10 recommend using Ani for your event in the future! Her arrangements will truly bring joy to your day.

This is delightfully different elopement + wedding photography! From helicopter elopements and lakeside wedding bashes to hiking engagements to weddings with bouncy houses, I capture the adventurous, quirky, and unique. Based in both New York + California, with travel worldwide, I've photographed couples on 6 continents. My creative, fun, & candid photography uses innovative techniques and unique ideas to get photos that make you look twice. Whether you're saying vows in your backyard or having a 3-day adventure wedding in the rainforest, I'll catch every spontaneous moment of joy and laughter—and plan a few unique shots on top of it all.

We worked with Kathryn for our October 2024 Hindu/Jewish blended wedding and were so happy with our decision!! We spoke with MANY photographers during the planning process trying to decide who fit our style and personality leading up to our wedding. Neither of us feel super comfortable in front of the camera so it was important to us that we found someone who truly fit us and what we were looking for. Kathryn's warmth, adventurous spirit, and genuine curiosity about us as a couple really stood out, and we immediately knew she was who we wanted to work with. We had a large wedding with many Hindu/Jewish traditions making the day busy & hectic, but Kathryn's professionalism and calm attitude made us feel at ease. We really appreciated how on top of it she was, sticking to our timeline and facilitating our rather large (and rowdy!) group, all while making the staged photos seamless and the candids from the reception/baraat so special and a true representation our special day. The colors are just magnificent, and we had many guests compliment her work, fun nature, and professionalism throughout the night. Thank you Kathryn for making our day so wonderful!!

Emily Elle Makeup was a pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication was thorough and timely, making the booking process smooth and stress-free.

A good friend of mine has said that my brand is to care. She isn’t wrong-my brand is one of caring because my being is one of caring. I’ve been a wedding photog for 14+ yrs. I find that being a wedding photog is a gift - I barely have the words to describe how special it feels to be invited into clients’ most momentous & intimate wedding moments over & over again. I’m a champion for the weird & whimsical, the fun & funky - even & especially on wedding days. Plan your day the way you want to, trends be damned. Let your wedding day reflect your joy. That’s what we’re all there to celebrate, anyway. ✨

We were so lucky to have Sweet Alice Photography capture our special day. From the start, Erica and her team were open, compassionate, and kind, always making us feel cared for throughout the process. Their quick responses, attention to detail, and values-driven approach put us at ease and allowed us to truly be present on our wedding day. Erica and Alyssa took the time to remind us to breathe through the stressful moments, and we are hugely grateful to them and the entire Sweet Alice team for making our day absolutely perfect. We feel so lucky to have known them and cannot recommend them highly enough!
