Jason truly went above and beyond with our wedding. He was there with us through the whole process, including engagement photos. My husband and I had no clue how any of this worked, but Jason made sure to help us every step of the way and made us feel at ease. Neither of us are comfortable in front of the camera, but he made us feel completely comfortable throughout the night! He was so fun and always had a smile on his face. By the end of the wedding, all my bridesmaids were obsessed with him, and a few of them are planning on hiring him as well.

I hired Miranda as a day of coordinator and to assist me with the rehearsal dinner, and she was so helpful! She also spoke with my vendors ahead of my wedding to confirm that everyone had the correct details and information, giving me assurance and another set of eyes on the work I had already done. She also created a timeline for the day and shared it with the vendors as well, so it was another thing off my plate!

We truly could not have asked for a better DJ than Evan. From the very start, he was professional, organized, and so easy to work with—but what really set him apart was how incredibly well he read the room. Every song felt perfectly timed, and he somehow knew exactly what to play to keep the energy up all night. The dance floor was never empty—our guests are still talking about how much fun they had. He struck the perfect balance between playing our must-haves and mixing in songs that got everyone involved. It felt so seamless and natural, and we were able to just be present and enjoy every moment. Evan didn’t just play music—he truly created the atmosphere for our entire night. We are so grateful and would recommend him to anyone without hesitation!

We had a daytime wedding for my daughter, with the ceremony starting at 11:30 AM and portraits beginning as early as 9:00 AM. Mitali and her team arrived very early and were fully prepared to start right away, despite the rain that morning. Earlier that week, Mitali had also reminded us about the weather and was monitoring it closely, just as we were, which we really appreciated. The flowers and arrangements were truly some of the most beautiful I have ever seen. From the bouquets and boutonnières to the sweetheart table and the stunning centerpieces, everything was exactly what we had hoped for. We were so happy with how everything turned out. Kudos to the entire team for their incredible work. Mitali also thoughtfully recommended a couple of organizations that accept flower donations after events. Unfortunately, I contacted them too late, but many of our guests happily took home the flowers. It would have been lovely to donate some of the arrangements so they could continue spreading joy beyond the wedding day, and I really appreciated that she offered that option. We would definitely recommend Daydream Floral. They are reliable, professional, and incredibly talented. Thank you, Mitali and team, for helping make my daughter’s wedding day so beautiful and memorable.

We're a husband/wife photography duo. We're college sweethearts and we're currently expecting our first child in June 2021! We are so happy to be in this business but we didn’t always know we’d become wedding photographers. Seth spent about 10 years in video production (aka the equipment expert) and Nicole is an advertising art director (aka the artsy perfectionist).

We truly could not have asked for a better wedding and engagement photographer!! We feel so incredibly lucky to have had Seth and his team capture our special day. From the moment Seth arrived at our venue his main priority was making sure we were in good spirits and having fun while capturing every moment, big and small. Seth was so kind, organized, professional, and down to earth. We cannot recommend Hyde Photography enough!

From the moment we first connected with Matt, we knew he was someone special! During our first zoom call, we could feel his vibrant energy, his positivity, and genuine excitement and happiness. Matt’s communication throughout the planning process was top tier, with quick and clear responses. Matt took the time to ask questions about us personally, and it made us feel that he truly wanted to get to know us so he could help deliver what we were visualizing and hoping for on our special day. Matt lead us into our reception, and his presence was so comforting, fun, exciting, lively, I could go on and on! We had already known that he was going to make our night one to remember, but he truly exceeded all of our expectations. He brought an energy to our dinner portion that I have never witnessed before at a wedding. It was absolutely incredible. Watching our guests dancing through dinner and being able to interact with Matt and enjoy his talent was so special. It was hard to imagine the night getting better… and then it did! Our dance floor was full, and Matt kept everyone included and hyped up. Our guests expressed their admiration to us all night long, with many of them wanting to book Matt for their own events! Our wedding was now 5 weeks ago, and our friends and family are STILL talking about him. And so are we! We feel so incredible lucky to have gotten to experience Matt’s talents and energy, but we feel even luckier to have been able to meet him and have us present during our wedding. He is a special, one of a kind human, and we feel so grateful and appreciative of him and his time. If we could give him more than a 5 star rating we would!

Hi, I’m Seren 🤍 A certified makeup artist with over 9 years of experience in luxury bridal beauty. My approach is timeless, refined, and tailored to you—enhancing your natural features so you still look and feel like yourself, just elevated. I believe a calm, organized wedding morning is just as important as the final look. I also work with a trusted team of professional hair stylists, allowing you and your bridal party to be taken care of seamlessly. It’s an honor to be part of such a meaningful day.

Awarded Best of Zola
The first thing I booked for my wedding was a photographer and the 2nd was my MUA. I knew I didn’t want the same bubblegum pink blush bridal look I was seeing everywhere. Seren immediately caught my attention by having a more varied portfolio and she was so excited when I mentioned wanting a sultry look. We did two trials to get a clear image of what I wanted so that when the day came it was smooth sailing. She listened to everything I wanted and worked professionally and masterfully. Talking to her is such an added delight and you feel like she really cares about you feeling beautiful. On my wedding day she prepped my skin beautiful and the makeup was just perfect, lasting all night. She also did my 4 bridesmaids and mother in law and everyone was thrilled with how they looked. I would recommend Seren to everyone and I will be going back to her for all of my big events!

I was a little lost with what we wanted for our wedding and even changed my mind a few times but Nicole and her team were patient and beyond helpful.

EMG has been providing the highest level of service in event entertainment for over 30 years, and our experience has taught us to prioritize two things above all else: Event Talent + Customer Service. We pride ourselves on creating spectacular and immersive experiences.

We loved everything about EMG for our July 2025 wedding. The process of meeting and setting up a contract was easy and efficient. It was a completely tailored experience and did not feel rushed or pushed at all. He gave great recommendations and really understood what our vibe was for 115 guests. We went with an acoustic guitar player for ceremony, electric guitar cocktail hour and reception along with a DJ (Josuel lead) for the reception. We also had the photo station Photo Booth which was perfect for the setting. However our biggest compliments go to Josuel who was our lead DJ. He was organized, prepared and had an excellent presence and composure. He even sorted our last minute changes with the venues matre de because we and guests were taking too long at cocktail hour.. he figured out little changes so I didn’t have to! Above and beyond. Also he had everyone and I mean everyone dancing the whole night to a blend of 80s rock, 90s pop 2000s alt.. it was just perfect. Cannot say thank you enough to him and the whole EMG group.

We had our wedding at Liberty House, and to say it was perfect would be an understatement. From start to finish, the experience was beyond anything we could have imagined — even with a last-minute weather shift that could’ve thrown everything off. It rained on our wedding day, which meant our outdoor ceremony had to be moved. The Liberty House team transitioned the ceremony into the reception room so quickly and beautifully that it felt like it had been the plan all along. It was seamless, elegant, and still carried all the magic we had dreamed of. Danielle Villa was our planner and honestly, we can’t say enough about her. She was incredible — professional, calming, and truly dedicated to making our day unforgettable. She made herself available on weekends, late nights, and any time we needed a call or check-in. We trusted her completely with one of the most important days of our lives, and she outdid herself in every way possible. Danielle didn’t just help us plan a wedding — she ran the show with grace and precision. Gabby, our day-of assistant, was also a total rockstar. My partner and I didn’t even have a chance to think about a drink or a bite to eat — she made sure we were always taken care of, without us even realizing how much she was doing behind the scenes. Every little detail, every moment, Gabby was right there, keeping everything running smoothly and ensuring we were comfortable and stress-free. The staff overall was phenomenal — warm, attentive, and professional. The view was absolutely insane (you just can’t beat that NYC skyline backdrop), and the food… wow. Every bite was incredible, and our guests are still raving about it. We genuinely can’t thank Liberty House enough for making our wedding the most beautiful, stress-free, and special day of our lives. If you’re considering having your wedding there — do it. You will be in the absolute best hands.

Where do we even begin! We had our wedding November 30th, 2024 and had the absolute most perfect special day. We originally toured with Kyle and knew from then this would be our venue. Out of all the venues we toured, he was the most descriptive and passionate, answering any and all questions. From then on, everything was absolutely seamless and easy in every way. Jessica, who does floral and design…NO WORDS. She is an absolute gem to work with and master of florals. I had a very specific vision with colors and she made our wildest dreams come true. She met with me multiple times to ensure what I envisioned was what I wanted, and answered every single email so fast with my questions/changes/comments. Katrina was our coordinator through CKE, and was lovely to work with. She was there to answer any and all questions and extremely communicative leading up to wedding day when things can become stressful :) Day of she was also somehow always by our side the second we needed something.

Fernando at Blanc Noir Event Group was one of the best hiring decisions for our wedding! Our friends and family are still raving to us about what a great time they had. We danced the WHOLE night and the “hora loca” blew everyone’s minds. Fernando also incorporated our song requests seamlessly, ensuring the vibe was right before playing anything. Given that it was a bilingual wedding, he also ensured that both languages were incorporated so everyone felt included and it wasn’t overwhelming on either side. I appreciated that a whole lot. He played a major role in making our wedding the most fun wedding, and was a pleasure to work with, and highly professional.

MMUAV Pro is INCREDIBLE. Having never had professional services done before, I had so many concerns: my eczema-prone skin, if my hair would stay volumized, if there was experience with a wide-range of complexions and hair textures for my bridal party, etc. etc. etc. The list went on. For myself, Norma DID HER THING with the makeup! No flare ups or skin irritations all day. The natural glam was spot on with what I was envisioning. Linda was AMAZING with my hair! Everything came out perfect and the curls sat so beautifully on my collar bone. The airbrush was super light and didn't irritate my eczema-prone skin at all. For my family and bridesmaids who had services done, they were all so happy with their hair and makeup! Norma, Linda, Omayra, and Chantelle were so wonderful. They knew how to work with everyone's skin type, facial structure, and hair texture. Everything held up so well. From inquiring to the trial and wedding day, MMUAV Pro was always kindly available. I couldn't have imagined anyone else doing hair & makeup for the wedding. They made my vision come to life. Everyone was so professional, calm, fun, and just overall had a great attitude from start to finish. This day was so special for all of us. So grateful for Vicky and Linda for taking the time to listen to all my thoughts, questions, and concerns throughout the way. Thank you isn't enough, and I hope this review helps so many others with similar concerns I had. THANK YOU MMUAV PRO!!!

When my fiancé and I got engaged 2 and half years ago I thought I had everything under control. I Hired all my big vendors, purchased my wedding dress. Then I met Natalie during my SIL’s wedding when my bridesmaid dress was mistakenly not hemmed. Natalie, like a super hero, came through with a no big deal mentality. She quick stitched it right up (5 inches) and I knew right then, that I needed to draft her on our amazing vendor list! Leading up to our wedding we had virtual meetings monthly. Setting the timeline for the day, making sure we had everything. Without a doubt Natalie was that girl! She was so friendly and easy to talk with! One big take away was she is a quick problem solver! Even I f you don’t think you need a wedding coordinator (which is what I thought) trust me you do!! Natalie made everything so effortless for me. All I had to do was enjoy my big day! I will forever recommend her services to anyone planning on forever with their person!

Fresh Flowers at a wedding symbolize hopes and dreams for a joyful future. My client's vintage lace wedding gown, hair accessory, and the venue by the river with the city backdrop were perfected by About Design's poetic flower arrangements. Sonia is outstanding! Her professionalism, expertise, and refined taste made my client's wedding truly unforgettable. The floral arrangements were gorgeous and beyond my expectations as a photographer. Highly recommend About Design for your wedding!

I'm Angelica, the owner of Dawnpoint Studios! I'm an adventurous and internationally requested wedding/elopement photographer with a focus on sustainability! Here's an unexpected fact - I hated weddings when I first started second shooting them. It broke my heart to see couples being rushed, overwhelmed, and not truly having any connection to couples. That's what drove my passion to breath a fresh air into the wedding experience! Plan with intention, focus on being present, and building genuine relationships with couples! You should be heard, appreciated, and understood. You should feel encouraged to get married your way.

Angelica was an angel from the beginning. She is very intentional and genuine in getting to know her clients. It's clear her top priority is helping the couple curate and experience a memorable and one-of-a-kind celebration. From her cheerful spirit to her attention drawn eye, she is an amazing person to work with. Clearly I (we) can't say enough kind things about her, so you should book her and find out for yourself hehe.
