WOW, SPECTACULAR, AMAZING, FANTASTIC…These are all words we would use to describe Chris and all of Limitless Entertainment. We had the pleasure of booking Chris for our wedding during his busy schedule and we could not have made a better choice. He made sure we had everything we wanted and more! From providing music for our ceremony, reception, and after party, to all the amazing details including dancing on the clouds, cold sparklers, CO2 gun (my favorite), handouts, all kinds of lighting that really set the scene, as well as Photo Booth for our guests to help us capture the evening! He was a one stop shop which made it incredibly easy to work with only one vendor for all of our entertainment needs. He ensured all of our music was exactly what we wanted and did a fantastic job MC’ing the evening. He is incredibly personable and has a fantastic “whatever you need” attitude which ensured our day was as perfect as could be! I cannot recommend him enough for all your DJ/Entertainment needs!

Book All In Entertainment!! Anthony is phenomenal! It's been well over a month since our wedding, and our friends and family are STILL talking about how fun the dance floor was. All because of All In Entertainment! Even our older relatives who couldn't really get up to dance talked about how fun it was to see everyone up on the dance floor having the time of their lives. On the day of the wedding, because we didn't do the bouquet toss and stuff, there was some extra time before dinner. Anthony did a fantastic job figuring out a plan to fill the time and worked with our photographer to make sure the evening went smoothly. He added no stress to our day and truly helped make it magical! I am thrilled that I booked All In Entertainment! And ending the night by joining us on the dance floor and dancing to Bye Bye Bye was a perfect cherry to the night!

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.

From the moment I saw my sister’s wedding videos, I knew I had to work with Carlo Timothy Films. Their creativity, vision and their ability to capture such special moments on a couples’ big day was just on another level. As a person who hates taking pictures or videos, I was so nervous that it would be SO awkward. But, the team made my husband and I feel extremely comfortable and made the whole day so much fun! We couldn’t believe how quickly the time went and wish we had more time! On our anniversary, we always rewatch our videos and it brings us right back to our special day with all the feels!

Awarded Best of Zola
We are absolutely over the moon with our experience working with Lisa Blanche! From the very beginning, Lisa and her husband Pieter made us feel like more than just clients—they made us feel cared for, celebrated, and completely at ease. We are NOT naturals at posing for photos and were nervous going into this process, but they changed our whole POV and made it so fun for us. They’re so warm and fun to be around. They work with you and laugh with you. Their calm energy and kindness on our wedding day made such a difference, and they felt like part of the group with us. We’ve only received our preview photos so far, and they are stunning. Our friends and family can’t stop talking about them—every single shot feels like a piece of art! Lisa emphasizes they capture the moments, not just photos, and that could not be more true. The photos are so real and full of life and emotion—we already know the full album (which we’ll get in a few weeks!) is going to blow us away. Lisa and Pieter are total pros— organized, and skilled beyond words—but it’s their personalities and presence that make them truly unforgettable. We will actually miss them and hope to stay in touch! They even sent us the sweetest little care package when we first booked with them— just the best people ever. We didn’t book videography, but our in-laws did, and Justin (their amazing videographer) created a complimentary engagement video sample for us—and it was so beautiful. He was just as friendly and kind as the rest of the team, and we honestly wish we had added him to our wedding package too. She also brings her polaroid camera along and gets such fun candid photos. If you’re thinking about hiring a photographer for your wedding day — hire Lisa Blanche! You’ll get stunning photos, but more than that, you’ll get to work with some of the most lovely and thoughtful people out there. We’re endlessly grateful to them for capturing our favorite memories so beautifully. We are so happy- Thank you Lisa and Pieter 3

We cannot say enough good things about Shelby! She is one of the warmest and kindest people we have ever met. I HATE being photographed, and my husband and I cannot tolerate being the center of attention. Somehow, she made the wedding photo shoot so enjoyable that we were sad to leave. She provided plenty of ideas for where to shoot and how to pose. She took our feedback regarding the look and feel we wanted for our photos, and they look GORGEOUS! Shelby possesses a remarkable ability to make you feel at ease, and she loves what she does, which is evident in her pictures. Again, it is impossible to say enough good things!

Margaret was better than I could’ve asked! Leading up to the day she was so easy to communicate with. She created a timeline for the day and any thoughts I had she took them into account and found a way to incorporate them into the plan. Truely felt like a team because of how kind and thoughtful she is. Get to the day, she was a calming presence for sure. She showed up with a smile on her face and seamlessly cued the bridesmaids and myself throughout. She was present but didn’t hover it was the perfect balance. Along with that she was my hype girl throughout it 3 Now let’s talk about the pictures, I’m not used to getting my picture taken and feel so uncomfortable being the center of attention but she tells you every detail you need, and if something doesn’t look right she’ll correct it gracefully in the moment. I felt like I got to enjoy my day without it feeling like a photoshoot. She delivered the pictures so fast!! A couple of my bridesmaids made comments about how fast the turnaround time was…and they were breathtaking!! Better than I ever could have imagined, I can’t stop looking at them. Not a moment was missed and due to her talent we have the most perfect picture to remind us of our special day for the rest of our lives. Do yourself a favor and book with her, worth every penny.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Momo for our Chinese-Bengali fusion wedding celebration in lower east side of Manhattan in mid June 2024. We had a very small venue with 10 family members and 30 closest and dearest friends of ours for an intimate gathering. Momo’s camera closely followed and captured the unfolding of the event and the subtlest facial expressions of our family, guests and myself throughout the night. I got to know about her work from Red (Chinese Reddit) before entrusting her for one of the most important events of my life, but was still caught exhilarated by her work product on our event — her passion about photography and deep expertise in its technicality shined through the over 200-photo-well-woven storyline. Besides her exceptional work and high professionalism throughout our pre-and-during event communication, I appreciated her confident and genuine approach which I found down-to-earth, super helpful and reassuring — she really put in the work to understand you and amplify your shining traits. It’s such a pleasant and unforgettable experience to work with Momo. I would highly recommend her for any couples who are looking for wedding photographers.

We are Jenn and Ro, a husband and wife team based out of Central Jersey. An AOL chatroom brought us together in 2003 when we were high school seniors and we got married a few years later. Shortly after our wedding, we fell in love with photography and all things wedding. As a boutique studio, we love to create a relationship with our couples that lasts throughout the entire wedding process and beyond. Our goal is to make sure you are having fun and enjoying every second of your day while we are working behind the scenes to capture every moment.

My now husband and I are both photographers who care deeply about images and what it takes to make beautiful ones. When we were deciding on a photographer for our wedding, we looked at dozens until we found J&R. We loved the type of editorial images they made - some looked like they could be in Vogue! We were so impressed with Jenn & Ro. They are incredible photogs and were such great guides for our day. Their customer service was second to none through the entire process. They really have their offerings and operations down pat. Like others said, it felt like they became friends. We loved having them share and capture our special day. Highly recommend!!

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!

We are so happy we went with Vlad for our wedding. He was so friendly and good at his job. He was able to get all the shots we wanted, and he had some photo ideas that we didn’t even think of that we are really grateful we took. He was really capturing the moment the entire time. Highly recommend choosing Vlad!

I am Paul, a husband, father, and photographer serving the east coast NY, NJ, tri-state area, and available for travel worldwide. I have a joy and enthusiasm for life, love, and marriage. I love creating beautiful photos and capturing moments and memories but more importantly I love to photograph weddings and engagements because I love marriage and the love it signifies.

Awarded Best of Zola
Paul was absolutely incredible to work with! We had the pleasure of working with him for both our engagement shoot and wedding, and he made every moment enjoyable. From the start, Paul was kind, communicative, and incredibly creative. My husband and I can sometimes feel awkward in front of the camera, but Paul made us feel completely at ease. He avoided overly posed shots and instead guided us into natural, flattering poses, (but still fun and creative) which turned out stunning. We were a bit nervous about finding a great photo location without needing to drive somewhere else. We thought we might be able to take photos around the grounds; Paul arrived early and scouted out the best spots, ensuring we had the perfect backdrops for our pictures. We had a few edit requests, and Paul was more than accommodating. On the wedding day, he was meticulous in capturing all of our group photo requests and making sure no detail was missed. At the reception, Paul expertly documented all the little moments that will allow us to relive those joyful memories for years to come. We couldn't be happier with our photos!
