The Gallagher is even more beautiful in person. Jenna and her team were so extremely helpful. They not only set up all the decorations to your exact vision, but also take them down at the end of the night which makes it so nice for friends and family to just be able to enjoy the evening and not worry about cleanup. I could not have had a better wedding day, its all thanks to Jenna and her team and their beautiful barn!

SoundWave has been providing DJ services for over 15 years full time and have a love for entertaining people. We are constantly learning and updating our skillsets to bring the best performances out. SoundWave is a niche company. We not only provide entertainment packages but can also provide photography and videography packages in addition, making our business a one-stop shop for some of the most important wedding services.

When my now husband and I began looking for a wedding DJ and photographer we put out requests for info from multiple companies. The owner and DJ, Matt, reached out to me within seconds of me sending a request to Soundwave and we set up a meeting. After a wonderful meeting with Matt’s wife and photographer, Marie, we were sold! Both Matt and Marie were available on our wedding day so we hired them both. They have a huge music selection and even provided music for the ceremony. DJ Matt was still able to get people moving on the dance floor at our outdoor wedding on a humid 90 degree day in July. Marie came early to photograph as we were getting ready and was determined to get all of the perfect shots throughout the day even with the period of rain we had. I would highly recommend!

Candidly Kierra Productions 

5.0

  • Videographer
  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Derby, NY

I started Candidly Kierra Productions because I believe every love story deserves to be perfectly captured and cherished for a lifetime. Photos capture one moment in time, video lets you relive the memory. Capturing raw, unscripted moments and turning them into heartfelt films is my true passion. Every wedding, every love story, every couple has a unique story to be told. Allow me the honor of helping you tell yours.

Kierra filmed both my small, intimate wedding ceremony and my larger wedding reception a year later. She did an amazing job and was a pleasure to work with! The two venues were very different (an old & poorly lit church and a campground) and her expertise shined through in both! She captured so many cute little moments between my husband and I, and she really listened in the pre-event meetings to make sure she knew our personalities and the details that mattered most to us. She even went above and beyond for us when he had a bad experience with another vendor and provided us additional support than she was contracted to do, plus some emotional support and advice for the situation as well! During the events, she was a helpful presence keeping us on schedule, keeping the wedding party focused, passing off my stuff I was leaving everywhere to a trusted family member, and so much more. My wedding celebrations would not have been complete without her!

Where do I even begin?? This company is absolutely incredible. From the owner, Maxwell, being the sweetest human who created beautiful custom edits for our parent dances, to our amazing DJ, Jordan, who went above and beyond at every moment. He was so kind, and fun! I received rave reviews the following day on all of his music! The dance floor was packed every moment of the night. He helped with more than just the music - he was able to video call my friend who couldn’t make it, so she could watch the ceremony. He helped pass out dance floor props, and he brought such good energy to the room. He was so great to communicate with, and just such a delight. We had the greatest day with him!

Lisa went above and beyond with every detail. She made sure my dress was positioned properly, she helped my awkward self know what to do when posing, she was so personable, and went the extra mile to keep me comfortable and feeling confident. After I made a comment about “my good side” she made sure I was always posing in ways that emphasized my good side. After receiving my preview I was so happy with how the photos came out. The pictures were clear and vibrant. She even captured candid moments that I will cherish forever. If I had to go back and do it again I would hire her 100 times over!

Hi! My name is Lily and I am the founder and head photographer at Lily Catherine Photography. My business focuses on capturing the best in whoever is in front of the camera. I shoot 15-20 Weddings, 10-20 Engagements, 5-10 Family and a handful of real estate jobs every year. When I'm not working, I'm spending time with my husband and three children.

Awarded Best of Zola
Lily is absolutely wonderful to work with! We had originally scheduled with her for our wedding last year, but when COVID hit, we had to postpone to summer 2021. Lily was very flexible and understanding of our needs. We had her shoot our small, at-home wedding, and the pictures could not have turned out nicer. We've given several as gifts to our parents and grandparents, and everyone absolutely loved them. Lily also shot and organized our engagement shoot this past fall. My husband and I are not the most natural people in front of a camera, but Lily was great with telling us what to do and where to be. And those photos turned out wonderfully as well! She is always on top of communication - as many engaged couples may know, it is easy to get lost in the many details of planning - and she makes you feel like you are top priority. We can't wait for her to shoot our celebration this summer!

Awarded Best of Zola
We’re based in Boston and planned our Rochester wedding from the distance, so having someone local was essential — and Jade was everything we needed and more! As someone who’s very organized, I mainly wanted a planner who could take the stress off on the big day. Jade went above and beyond to make sure that happened. She was kind, patient, and incredibly helpful — especially when I was indecisive or overwhelmed. She guided us through timeline decisions, managed last-minute changes, and always stayed calm and reassuring. She also helped us book amazing vendors — including our florist, DJ, and transportation — and was super mindful of our budget. She even included thoughtful touches like sparklers and signs without extra charges. On the wedding day, she quietly handled everything, even helping my sister-in-law when she wasn’t feeling well. Her presence was steady, warm, and exactly what we needed. We’re so grateful for Jade and would absolutely recommend her to anyone — especially if you’re planning from afar or want someone who truly cares about making your day feel special.

I am a New York based wedding photographer, but I am always down to travel and get out of the snow belt. I have been shooting for years but as of the last few, I decided to make this wonderful hobby a full time career.

Brittany Ford Photography, LLC was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our first interaction, Brittany provided clear and timely responses to all of our questions, putting our minds at ease during the wedding planning process. On the day of our wedding, Brittany's calm and professional demeanor helped our wedding day flow seamlessly, and her breathtaking, candid photos perfectly captured all the special moments that were so meaningful to us. Brittany went above and beyond to ensure we had fun and felt comfortable in front of the camera, resulting in photos that we will cherish forever. We cannot recommend Brittany Ford Photography highly enough to any couples looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

Where do I begin with how ecstatic we were with our wedding experience with Marygold Manor?! Let's start from our first encounter with Marygold. I emailed the venue inquiring about dates and details for our wedding. Jeremy, the owner, responded back so quickly and was willing to work with us to come in and meet him and see the venue. He was so professional, helpful, open, and understanding. It was an easy choice. Marygold Manor is where our wedding had to be. Jeremy was so easy to work with and even met with us multiple times before the wedding to finalize all the details. Besides Marygold having a beautiful facility and being in a central location (near the airport and thruway) for our guests to easily travel to, the venue also offers unbelievably, amazing wedding deals. We chose the "Ultimate Wedding Package" with 100 guests. Literally, they do everything for you! You can pick and choose of course, if you would like to bring in outside options (like your own DJ, centerpieces, etc.), but why would you when they do such a wonderful job at taking care of everything! So much less stress on the bride and groom. Our officiant, DJ, photographer, videographer, and photo booth were all included. They also take care of your centerpieces, linens, lighting, and card box. And as for your food.... chef's kiss! They provided a variety of appetizers for cocktail hour, cooked a delicious, delectable dinner of filet mignon and chicken piccata, and even had extra treats for later in the night; a chocolate fondue fountain and mini pulled pork sliders! And... they even did our cake! I brought in decor for them to add to the cake, and they made my vision come true. And don't worry, if you have any dietary restrictions, Marygold has a vegetarian, gluten free dinner option as well. Plus, we had a 5 hour top shelf bar! A-MAZ-ING! Since we chose the wedding package, we saw how Jeremy and his staff are a well-oiled machine. From the officiant, to the photographer, to the kitchen staff and the servers, everyone worked so well together and knew exactly what to do and followed our schedule to a tee. Jeremy was also our DJ, so he understood our taste in music and knew exactly what to play and when to play it. He blew me away when he added the song, "Be Our Guest" at dinner time, since our theme was based on "Beauty and the Beast". That was the cherry on top! I could go on and on about how personable and talented our photographer, Bruce was. I could explain how on point and perfect our officiant was. I could continue to explain how hardworking and awesome Jeremy was. I could talk your ear off about how the Marygold staff really can make your special occasion even more special than you could every imagine. If you need more convincing, please check out Marygold's website and call today. You won't regret it! We are so overwhelmingly happy that we chose Marygold Manor as our venue for our wedding. We will never forget how they helped us make it an unforgettable, fantastic, epic night! THANK YOU MARYGOLD!
