The Kristin Trotta Wedding Band 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Elmhurst, NY

With powerful vocals and original arrangements The Kristin Trotta Wedding Band brings a unique and customized experience to your wedding. Kristin is equally at home belting Aretha blues as she is crooning Christina ballads and impresses with her vocal versatility. Uton’s powerful range and stage presence bring all the entertainment you could ask for. From a killer rhythm section to a stellar presentation, we promise to make your special day memorable and fun for all ages! Contact us here for more information.

Choosing Kristin as part of the live band for our wedding reception was one of the best vendor decisions my husband and I made. From the very beginning, Kristin was incredibly kind and easy to work with. She even learned 5 new songs for us! She learned songs for our first dance, father/daughter dance, mother/son dance, and even learned Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” for me, a huge Swiftie! Kristin performed a whole range of songs, from pop to rock to even some oldies that pleased my older relatives! Everyone at our wedding found a song to dance to by the end of the night. Our guests kept coming up to my husband and I just to say how much they loved the band, but notably, Kristin! Needless to say, Kristin absolutely rocked it and created some special moments that my husband and I will never forget! She came out into the crowd to dance and interact with my two young nieces (ages 4 and 2), who, in turn, instantly became part of the show. We cannot recommend Kristin Trotta and her Wedding Band more highly as a live band for your wedding day. They will for sure make your wedding one to remember!

Colby Blount Weddings 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Elmhurst, NY

Colby Blount is an award winning fashion and wedding photographer. Born and raised in Georgia and now calls New York home. He loves merging a stylized vision with a photojournalist eye to help tell stories that feel real and authentic.

We recently hired Colby to shoot our tiny Covid-friendly Catholic ceremony and had an amazing experience! I cannot recommend him enough. Our ceremony took place in a historic Catholic church with restrictions on how close a photographer could get to the altar. Colby was very respectful of the space and still managed to get incredible photos of the ceremony. Our handful of guests commented on how non-intrusive he was while still managing to capture so many special moments. After the ceremony we went to a local park to capture photos of just myself and the groom and these photos blew us away. He was so easy to work with and made us feel very comfortable considering we are not naturals in front of the camera! The candid pictures look so natural and not forced. The variety of poses, backgrounds and settings he chose were great for getting many options of photos we love. I highly recommend hiring Colby for your wedding during and after this crazy pandemic. He wore a mask the entire time, was so calm and collected, and we had a blast spending our wedding day with him. He even let us stop to take pictures with our pet cat ! (LOL) Amazingly, our fully edited album of photos was ready less than a week later! We will always treasure these photos and this experience during the crazy times of 2020.

On the day of the party, her energy was fantastic and they were clearly enthusiastic. The song selection they curated was perfect, keeping our guests on the dance floor all night long.

Cottage Cake Witch

  • Cakes & desserts
  • Starts at $700
  • Serves Elmhurst, NY

With a background in art and illustration, Paige Fallon (aka "The Cake Witch") applies her training in color theory and design to each of her cakes and cupcake arrangements. She is passionate about cakes not only because they are delicious and full of flavorful possibilities, but also because they serve uniquely well as artistic canvases and centerpieces for many of life's most important milestones and events. With this in mind, Cottage Cake Witch strives to honor these moments with cakes that are as beautiful as they are delicious, and as unique as the memories you make with them!

The most important thing to me for my wedding was a cake that tasted DELICIOUS. I was perfectly willing to sacrifice appearance for it. But with Paige at Cottage Cake Witch, you can have both! Her cakes are absolutely GORGEOUS and every single bite is drool-worthy. Highly recommend!

PÀN

Ridgewood, NY
  • Venue
  • Up to 100 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Outdoor & indoor
  • Starts at $5,000

Tucked away in the heart of Ridgewood, Pàn is an intimate, stylish venue housed in a former pre-Prohibition brewery—Diogenes Brewing Co., established in 1898. The space blends rustic-modern charm with exposed brick, lush greenery, and ambient lighting, offering the vibe of a Brooklyn loft with the warmth of a neighborhood gathering spot. Pàn comfortably seats up to 60 guests indoors, with additional capacity in our sunroom (30–40), deck (25–35), and cozy backyard. The layout is flexible for ceremonies, dinners, or cocktail-style receptions. We offer custom food and beverage packages with seasonal small plates, natural wines, and heartfelt hospitality. Whether you're planning a laid-back dinner or a lively celebration, Pàn is a soulful, welcoming space to make your day unforgettable.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Has an intimate atmosphere
  • Flexible event spaces
  • Has a dance floor to dance the night away

Venue considerations

  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • Does not provide event staff
  • No on-site guest accommodations
Pàn was hands down the most perfect venue we could have found for our wedding! We wanted a space where we could have both indoor and outdoor portions of the day, and were ideally looking for a restaurant space to avoid the hassle of separate catering. Pàn checked all of those boxes. From the very beginning, Yuki and her team were attentive, thoughtful, and thorough in their communication. The planning process was seamless, and Yuki in particular gave us so many great, creative suggestions about how to best optimize the space. On the day-of, their work was nothing short of fabulous; the restaurant and yard both have a charming, rustic beauty that created the exact ambiance we were looking. Yuki was also incredibly accommodating when helping us design the perfect menu, as a few of our friends are gluten free/vegan/have allergies. Our guests STILL talk about how abundant and delicious all the food/pizza was, and having an amazing meal was a top priority for us! We had the most incredible day thanks to Pàn, and we are so grateful for their hard work and dedication in making our wedding celebration the best it could have been. We cannot recommend Pàn highly enough!

tom weis photo

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Elmhurst, NY

I dropped out of the physics program at Purdue University to pursue graphic design and photography. I fell in love with light; hard light, soft light, warm light, cool light, clean light, dirty light... all the flavors of light. And I fell in love with how the camera captures light and renders an image. For me having a camera in my hand is being home. I hope that feeling comes through in my photography. I look forward to chatting with you about your special day.

We hired Tom as our wedding photographer and it was one of the best wedding decisions we made! In the midst of stressful wedding planning, Tom was professional and made things super easy for us. Not only was Tom with us for the entire day (over 12 hours) he was on top of the action the whole time! I’ve been to many weddings where the photographers sometimes seem inattentive and miss some of the action, but Tom did not miss a beat — his energy and enthusiasm was honestly impressive. Beyond that, his patience and attention to detail were evident in each photo, and the curation of our wedding album. He made plenty of helpful recommendations regarding our album and was patient when we wanted to incorporate small changes or details. The end result was nothing short of perfect. We couldn’t recommend Tom any more highly!

If you have visited the Foundry, you know how amazing and beautiful it is, but what you don’t know before you work with them is how responsive and helpful they are once you have committed to them. We had about 130 guests and used the main room for the ceremony, the greenhouse room and space outside for the cocktail hour, the courtyard for the reception dinner, the main room again for the dancing, and the greenhouse room again for the after party (11 to midnight). We also rented the Du Val suite for getting ready, and it was a superb space for the groom’s party and extended family to get ready and hang out and also has the most beautiful garden with city views. Our wedding was absolutely amazing and vindicated our immediate love for the Foundry that we developed the first time we toured it, and the Foundry staff are extremely helpful and kind.

Fully restored to its original glory, the TWA Flight Center offers 200,000 square feet of flexible space including outdoor terraces. Original details — the Vulcain clock, sparkling white penny tile and plush Chili Pepper Red carpets — exude Jet Age glamour. Saarinen’s iconic Flight Tubes (made famous by the 2002 film Catch Me If You Can) lead to guestrooms and museum exhibits, as well as provide a premium photo opp. The nostalgic clacking sound of two authentic Solari split-flap boards — and the view of the 1958 Lockheed Constellation on the tarmac just outside — fully transport visitors back to the golden age of travel.

Venue considerations

  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists
  • No in-house lighting and sound packages available
  • Not for you if you are looking for something nontraditional
Our wedding turned out to be incredibly beautiful, thanks to a unique venue and execution by its staff. However, that perfect day was almost derailed by the unacceptable pressure campaign to change ceremony locations due to concerns over furniture getting wet. We wanted this review to capture our nearly 20 months of planning with the TWA Hotel. PLANNING PROS: -Variety of spaces -Responsiveness -Flexibility for storing supplies CONS: -No FAQ document -Frustrating room block system -Forgotten menu tasting notification -Lack of communication and contradictory info from the Paris Cafe for rehearsal dinner THE WEDDING PROS: -Organized and accommodating staff -The food, especially the pastrami station and red velvet cake for dessert CONS: -Wrong display with typo on Solaris board in the Sunken Lounge -Our tiered wedding cake wasn’t cut and served even tho there clearly wasn’t enough sheet cake to pass around -The weather “policy”: We were told that we could make a final decision on an outdoor ceremony up until the morning of our wedding, and our point of contact reassured us of this during our final walkthru 2 weeks out. Our contract also secured the Sunken Lounge as the backup option if we chose to move indoors. However, in the final days and hours before our wedding, we were pressured to move our ceremony indoors, despite nearly all weather reports showing clear skies for our 5-6pm ceremony and rain only after 9pm. Our point of contact started questioning our outdoor plans 4-5 days before the wedding, and even met with us multiple times - first in the lobby while we were dropping off supplies 2 days before our wedding, again when we were checking in the next day, and yet again when we were at the pool before our rehearsal dinner, where we had to brush off our guests in order to have a serious meeting. Each time, they told us we needed to make a "final call" now, not the morning-of as we had been told before. After listing their reasons to move the ceremony indoors (which included threatening to release the Sunken Lounge from our backup option, despite what our contract said), the point of contact mentioned that the head manager was concerned about the rain damaging the leather chairs, and then proposed a “solution” of having the ceremony outside, but not setting up any chairs so that our guests would stand for the entire ceremony. It was clear to us that the real reason why we were being pressured was that the manager didn’t want their leather chairs to get wet! We asserted that, unless we were explicitly told we couldn't have our ceremony outside, we would stick with the outdoor option. The morning of our wedding, our day-of coordinator informed us that the venue was insisting they now had a “50% chance of rain policy”, giving them the “right” to change ceremony locations. We immediately forwarded reports from 10 weather sites that all had a chance of rain between 5-7pm at 0-30%. We finally saw chairs being set up outside in the mid-afternoon, and when our ceremony got underway, the clouds parted ways and the sun started shining. CONCLUSION: The TWA Hotel is such a special place to celebrate your wedding! Before you sign the contract, however, understand that you’ll have to stay on top of the planning process, and in cases like ours, fight for what you envision. Make sure the contract spells out any and all promises — there were items that we made sure they honored as it was clear the hotel’s policies had changed since the signing.

To date, there are only two images of me as a child. The first is my passport photo at the age of 1.5 months, the second is an image of me at the age of 8. Because of this, I have a deeper understanding, value and passion for photographs and imagery. With that said, I purchased my first camera at the age of 16 with my first paycheck! (used to flip burgers at a local Roy Rogers!). With that camera, I quickly learned how much I loved the art of documenting life with imagery and in 2012, I left a 16 year career in healthcare to follow my dream of becoming a photographer. I haven't looked back one day since then.

Tom Schelling is class, personified. Our experience with working with Tom and his fiancé Heather the day of our wedding was seamless and perfect! He is super creative, relaxed and flexible, as well as efficient and organized.. essentially he checks every single box you could ever want in your wedding photographer! My husband and I arrived separately to a predetermined location in Central Park by Tom for a genuine first look, followed by a breathtaking shoot at nearby locations in the park, and finally our ceremony at Dene Summerhouse. The entire experience leading up to our actual ceremony not only eased our own anxieties, but we had so much fun! He took the “pressure and work” off of us through his ability to gently and creatively guide us through our photos and make us laugh along the way.

Wedding Ninja with a special place in my heart for non-traditional and multicultural celebrations. Movies turned me into the ultimate romantic dreamer, leading me — an economics phd to quit academia and pursue my love for food, hospitality and events. Since then, I’ve made every kind of wedding magic happen for every kind of scenario you can imagine: from cinematic Bollywood-style extravaganzas at venues like The Bowery Hotel and St. Regis in Aspen, to more intimate celebrations at homes.

Seema did a truly outstanding job with our multicultural, double-ceremony wedding last month. Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made in the planning process and her support on the day-of and in the months leading up to the wedding was invaluable. She is incredibly kind, diligent and hard-working, and brings exactly the kind of calm, cheerful energy you want around on your wedding day. We had a fairly complicated wedding, with two ceremonies in one day at separate venues — an Indian/Hindu version in the morning followed by lunch, and a western version followed by a reception in the evening. There were a lot of moving parts and a pretty tight schedule, and I think Seema was really essential to how smoothly everything went, and how seamless the day felt for us and our guests. She was also hugely helpful with vendor communications before the wedding. After putting in so much time, effort and mental energy into wedding planning for the better part of a year, one big fear I had going into the day was that I would feel stressed and not actually enjoy myself that much. Looking back, it was such a fun day and I felt incredibly relaxed, and that was in huge part because I knew Seema was there, that she was on top of everything and that I trusted her to handle any hiccups. That is honestly the biggest gift you can give yourself on your wedding day — the ability to be in the moment and hand off all the details, timelines and logistics. I interviewed a few other coordinators before hiring Seema, and honestly felt like they all brought a sort of formulaic approach to the weddings they worked on. I never got that impression from Seema, and felt like she really personalized her work to us as a couple and made an effort to get to know us and understand what we wanted from the day. She is extremely responsive, was always prompt with things that needed to get done ahead of the wedding, and she and her two assistants were so helpful to have around on the day. Particularly with our morning/Hindu wedding venue (a major hotel chain whose events staff was very disorganized and difficult to get a hold of), I’m fairly confident that event would have been chaos if Seema and her team had not been there to wrangle people and guide them between locations. Lastly, she is just a fun person to talk to and I always felt better about wedding planning after a check-in with her! Would strongly recommend her to other couples!!

I am a New York City-based videographer and editor. As a wedding filmmaker, my priority is showcasing the feeling of the day. I use my love of documentary and fantasy to guide my eye throughout a wedding so when you sit down, you’re not just watching a glossy, dramatic video of your day, but a time capsule that brings you back to how it felt to be there.

Jess was absolutely incredible! She captured what we couldn’t experience at our wedding, interviewing our friends and family to hear about their perspective of the day. We watch the video every year on our anniversary and it makes me glow with happiness every time. She gives the perfect mix of capturing the big moments, and also those little moments our guests experienced that we may missed if not for her beautiful videography. Cannot recommend her enough!!

We offer a unique style of wedding documentary. Imagine handing your good friend a camcorder at your wedding. They know exactly what to capture, and how to capture it. That's because they know you so well! We emulate this, but bring years of documentary film, and wedding content creation experience. It's our goal to help you hold onto your special day, because from what we've heard, it passes in a flash. Let's tell your story together.

Working with Ian (from Fallingwater Films) was an absolute dream. He captured our vision and more - he is so beyond talented & kind as well. Planning for a wedding is stressful enough & having the right vendors is so key for a calm day - Ian truly is the total package. He is so effortlessly talented & sweet. We cannot thank him enough for creating a mini movie of our special day & capturing moments we wouldn't have experienced if it weren't for him. TY Ian Xo.
