Having our wedding at Westmount Country Club was an absolute dream! From our initial interactions, Freddy was incredibly welcoming, helpful, and responsive, patiently addressing every question and detail along the way. The venue itself is stunning—the elegant interior spaces and beautifully maintained grounds provided endless opportunities for breathtaking photos. We loved the charming gazebo and fountain area, which was a perfect backdrop for our portraits. The bridal suite was spacious and accommodating enough to comfortably host our wedding party. The entire staff was sweet, organized, and highly attentive, with our maître d’ expertly guiding us through the evening. Fred, in particular, was always kind and eager to assist, genuinely enhancing our overall experience. Our guests were blown away by the food. The cocktail hour offerings received enthusiastic compliments, and the dessert presentation was simply extraordinary. The baked Alaska fire show was a spectacular kickoff, followed by an impressive parade of 7–8 dessert carts featuring delights like gelato, chocolate fountains, and a variety of decadent treats—truly something for everyone. One minor hiccup we noted was when a guest couldn’t finish her dinner and requested a to-go box; unfortunately, the venue wasn’t able to accommodate that request. However, this was a very small inconvenience in an otherwise exceptional experience. Overall, our wedding at Westmount Country Club was incredible, and we sincerely hope to return as guests someday to fully savor and enjoy all the venue has to offer from the other side. Highly recommended wedding venue!

One of the most important aspects of a photo is the emotion it conveys. While I have years of training and experience, photographing love cannot be reduced to lighting and angles. ​ Well before your special day. I hear my client's love story. This helps me create eye-catching images that portray the kind of affection that is unique to each couple. I pride myself in being a storyteller-photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I worked with Anj for our engagement photos in Spring 2023 and our wedding photography on September 30, and we are very happy with the results! Anj was kind, talented, affordable, and a pleasure to work with. We loved our engagement photos in Wissahickon Park. Anj spoke with us before both projects to get a sense of what we wanted, and she understood our desire for unpretentious, mostly candid, true-to-life yet elevated style in the photos. She was excellent in directing our families on the wedding day for posed family and bridal party photos in an unfamiliar location. Several of our family members told us afterward that they were impressed with her organization and clear directions she gave them. And she suggested we have a friend do a video of our first look while she photographed it, which was the best decision we made. The moment was intimate and we forgot she or anyone else was in the room. The pictures of this turned out so well too! She took pictures of me getting ready with my bridesmaids and was well-liked by everyone there including the hair stylists and my little niece. I was really nervous in the beginning of the day and she really helped me feel centered. And towards the end of the night, Anj even helped instruct us how to cut our wedding cake when we couldn't find a staff person at our venue to do so - while taking photos of us at the same time! To summarize, she gave us exactly what we wanted, was friendly and efficient, returned photos in very fast (about 4 weeks), and was very professional and calm. We highly recommend her wedding and engagement photography services!

A graduate from USC Thornton School of Music in Los Angeles, Johnny has studied and performed classical piano music for over 20 years. Since 2010, Johnny has provided music for more than 300 wedding ceremonies all over the country. With a set list of over 300 songs, Johnny can play and sing standards from Gershwin, Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, and the Beatles. Adding live music will enhance and enliven your wedding ceremony, party or cocktail hour.

We hired Johnny to play during our Ceremony and for cocktail hour. It was one of the best decisions we made for the day. His music (ukulele and vocals) during the ceremony was absolutely beautiful. He was on the keys for cocktail hour and entertained with some classics and big-band music (e.g. Frank Sinatra). Hearing that my wife was a big Disney fan during our vows, Johnny switched to a Disney playlist halfway through cocktail hour and it was a HIT! The true sign of an top-notch musician is someone who can read the audience and adapt on the fly. Weeks later, our guests still rave about Johnny and tell us we should have hired him to play longer. (We agree!) Johnny was the ultimate professional throughout the entire process, from planning to the day of. He had a meeting with us to go over our music preferences and work through the flow of the ceremony. I HIGHLY recommend Johnny for your special day - you'll be glad you do.

When we first got engaged, we decided to elope (just the 2 of us) to Ireland. However, due to logistics, we decided it would be best to sign all the legal paperwork before we departed. We also really wanted an opportunity to celebrate with our families and friends upon our return with a larger-scale party–and we wanted both days to be documented with beautiful photos that captured the different vibes of each event. Enter Daniel! We discussed our ideas with Daniel during our first consultation, and he was more than willing to make our vision a reality. He created a custom package to incorporate both days, and was excited to capture two very different events for us. In the months of planning that followed, we were beyond appreciative of his patience, understanding, and flexibility as we navigated the various concepts for what both unconventional wedding days would look like. Before we get to any of that though, we have to talk about our engagement photo shoot. As big fans of professional wrestling, we wanted to somehow incorporate that into the photos. So we contacted Warriors of Wrestling, a local promotion here on Staten Island, and they agreed to let us use their ring for the shoot! This was a first for Daniel, and he was thrilled to have the opportunity to do something different. He made us look like real superstars that day, and the images he captured are some of our all time favorites. A few weeks prior to our “first” wedding day in June of ‘23, Daniel met with us at our home to get an idea of the layout and review the timeline. We then went to Fort Wadsworth park, where the post-ceremony photos would be taken, and scouted out the best locations for photos. By the time the actual day arrived, everything was perfectly planned out, and Daniel’s amazing photos really captured the intimate nature of our living room ceremony with 10 family members looking on. We capped the night off with a trip to Duffy’s Tavern – a local Irish bar – where we got some great photos of us enjoying huge burgers and pints of Guinness! Daniel was by our side the whole time, and he helped make the day so special. Fast forward a few months and it was finally the day of our reception! Our family, friends, and co-workers all gathered at the Nassau Inn in Princeton NJ to celebrate us. Right in the middle of it all, of course, was Daniel, capturing moments in time that we will cherish forever. His photography truly is art, and you can see his passion for this through his lens. The photos that stand out the most from our reception are the shots on the dance floor. We feel that one place Daniel’s talent shines brightest is his ability to tell an entire story in one click of the shutter–and the photos of ourselves and our loved ones having a blast truly encapsulate the feelings we had in those moments. Through it all, we feel Daniel became an honorary family member thanks to his enthusiasm and genuine investment in telling our love story. Our photos are EVERYTHING we were hoping for and more. We cannot recommend Daniel enough.

I can’t say it enough that The Rockleigh should be at the top of everyone’s venue list. They were our 2nd of 3rd venues we were touring and we never went to our 3rd venue tour. My words simply can’t portray how magical a wedding at The Rockleigh will feel. As soon as you walk in we were hit with a “wow” feeling. The venue is simply beautiful and left us and all our guests in awe. On top of a classy and beautiful venue, the service the staff provided is truly unforgettable. They will be at your side the entire day making sure you don’t have to lift a finger and ensure that your day goes as exactly as planned (and might I say better than you planned it to go). The food was also the most flavorful dishes I have ever had the privilege of enjoying. I hope this review helps other couples decide that The Rockleigh should be where they have their wedding. I could not have asked for a more perfect day and that was simply thanks to the amazing staff and service The Rockleigh provides. Please trust me when I say you will not ever be disappointed while in the care of the incredible people over at The Rockleigh.

Featuring a working mill, blacksmith shop, active church, and several beautiful historic houses, Waterloo Village is a time capsule surrounded by an air of tranquil beauty.

Waterloo Village is a truly magical venue, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience there. We first visited for a wedding and were immediately captivated by the rustic charm and historic atmosphere. After seeing how seamlessly everything ran that day, we knew it was the perfect place for our own wedding. The staff at Waterloo Village is outstanding—extremely friendly, helpful, and refreshingly low-pressure. They genuinely focus on making your day special without pushing you to spend beyond your budget. Their professionalism and warmth made the planning process enjoyable and stress-free. One of the highlights is their catering partner, JAM. Their commitment to farm-to-table dining is evident in every dish. Many of the ingredients are sourced fresh, some even from their urban garden, which adds a special touch. The food is not only fresh but absolutely delicious. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue with incredible staff and top-notch food, Waterloo Village is a fantastic choice!

Livingston, NJ
  • Venue
  • Up to 350 guests

Before it became our beloved event venue, the historic Crystal Plaza was originally a residential mansion. The initial Livingston, New Jersey-based residence was built in the late 1800s by famed architect Stanford White, who was responsible for designing the Tiffany building on Fifth Avenue, the original Madison Square Garden complex among other landmark structures. While the restored building has since been reincarnated as one of the leading wedding and event spaces in the tri-state area, it still maintains the feeling of its 19th century grandeur. Our impeccable, white-glove service begins the moment you arrive. Crystal Plaza hosts only one event at a time, ensuring that our dedicated team focuses singularly on you and your every need. From the elegant Grand Ballroom boasting numerous chandeliers (how the Crystal Plaza name came to be) to the lush gardens that change beautifully with the seasons, there are myriad backdrops to complement your wedding, social affair or corporate event.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Allows pets
  • Combines timeless elegance with history
  • Provides setup and cleanup

Venue considerations

  • On-site parking not available
  • No on-site guest accommodations
  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists

We had our wedding reception at Crystal Plaza on March 15, 2024 and I don't even know where to begin! I'll start by saying because of Crystal Plaza, we had the best day of our lives. When touring venues all I kept saying in my head was that I wanted something fresh and different. From the moment I walked in the door, I could sense that about Crystal Plaza. The venue holds onto the classic elegance you look for in a wedding, but with everything they have to offer, it puts a modern and fresh twist on classic beauty. Max took time to go through all aspects of our day at Crystal Plaza and was polite and accommodating since day 1. They were responsive and helpful through all of the wedding planning and when the day came we felt like royalty. The bridal and groom suites are out of this world and the bridal attendants are extraordinary. They even asked if I was too hot or cold and adjusted the temperature all day for me! They brought me a smoothie made there by request because I was having a hard time eating with all the excitement! I could go on and on. The cocktail hour is like nothing I have ever seen before and the food for dinner is actually delicious whereas at many weddings that is not the case. Every guest has been raving about the food, the service, and the seamless nature of our day. The best decision we made was booking Crystal Plaza for our wedding!
