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. You def can not go wrong hiring Jason- it will be the best decision you make for your wedding !! oh also, did I mention the pictures came out BEAUTIFUL??? thank you SOOOO much Jason :)

Denise was so responsive and helpful when deciding if they were the right fit. She was flexible with me and helped me understand every aspect of their services. I booked them immediately, which you should too! Don’t wait because these ladies are busy and will book up! My trial was great and they worked with my schedule to make it convenient since I live out of state. The day of was so smooth and amazing. Denise and her team made every one of my girls feel so beautiful I could not thank them enough! The team was flexible with what each girl wanted and helped make sure they were comfortable by making any changes they needed. Whether you’re looking for full glam or natural, these girls can cover it all. I knew my girls all would want something different so that was a must when I booked a team. My make up lasted for well over 12 hours with plenty of dancing and tears involved and still looked beautiful. Overall I highly recommend booking them for your big day, they will not disappoint!

Working with Miranda, Raquel, and Kylie was a true pleasure. Kylie assisted us at our rehearsal the day before our wedding, practicing the ceremony to ensure we understood the process and best practices for each bridal party member. Miranda and Raquel were there for us on our wedding date, helping set up decor, running to get breakfast for the bridal party, and being the point of contact with all our vendors. At one point, as the bride, I was getting overstimulated with all the pictures being taken in a short amount of time, and Miranda/Raquel had my back by making sure I had water and 30 minutes to center before our ceremony. I'd recommend Start Rose Creations to family and friends for any event.

Absolutely Incredible Experience with Posh DJs! We live in Florida and got married in New Jersey, so I did all of the planning remotely. After reading glowing reviews, I reached out to Posh DJs—and from my very first meeting with Nicky, I knew he was going to be our DJ. That turned out to be one of the best decisions I made for our wedding! Nicky and the Posh team went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable. The energy, the music, the packed dance floor, and even the robot—everything was just amazing. Our guests are still talking about it and telling us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to (some even said better than their own)! If I could give 10 stars, I would. Nicky, thank you for giving us the night we dreamed of. I’m still in awe. Worth every single penny. You made our wedding EPIC! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Friday the 13th Bride and Groom.

Brittany did an amazing job with our wedding flowers! During our first phonecall, I told her I was aiming for a fairy garden vibe, and I described the color palette. And as soon as she sent me her proposal a few days later, I knew she was the right fit for us! She really understood exactly what I was envisioning, and she came up with a few different options. Communication was also easy. Brittany is responsive and I felt confident that we had all our bases covered and every detail was well planned. On our wedding day, the flowers were simply stunning! Brittany delivered and set everything up, and everything was just like in the proposal we had discussed. She was even able to repurpose the floral arch after the ceremony, and move it to the reception hall. I had spoken to a few other florists, and none of them were prepared to do that, so the fact that Brittany made it possible was a huge deal to me! The entire experience was just perfect. If your wedding flowers are a priority for you, she will make the magic happen!

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).

I cannot say enough great things about working with Seth and his team! From our first meeting, to all communications, to our wedding day, everyone was committed to bringing our vision to life. Seth was thoughtful and paid attention to every detail. I especially loved the shot list document he shared - no way anything would be missed. Day of, Drea and Brandon were on top of everyday plus so much fun to work with. We got the shots we wanted without spending our entire wedding taking pictures. The Hyde team was the best and our photos show just how incredible they are. Thank you!

Awarded Best of Zola
Louis Pettinelli Entertainment was an absolute dream to work with. I thought that a live band for our wedding would be out of our reach, but LPE was so easy to work with and what an incredible value! Our band, LPE Snapshot was incredible and our ceremony musicians were amazing too! The vocalists were high energy and kept the whole event moving. They were great Emcess and they even added some special non-traditional reception activities for us. They were super flexible and played all the songs we asked for- even some very “niche” tracks we asked for during the ceremony. So many of my guests said the band was their favorite part of the reception. I highly recommend LPE entertainment! (I am also a musician myself so I’m very picky!)

We cannot say enough great things about Nicholas Yee and his incredible team! Literally from the very beginning, he demonstrated unparalleled professionalism - answering all of our emails super quickly, and taking the time to ensure every detail was covered. He worked with us to create a personalized timeline that made our day run SEAMLESSLY. Most of our vendors worked off his timeline. This allowed us to focus on the joy of the moment without worrying about logistics. He’s also just a great person overall - we felt like we were talking to an old friend. :) What truly sets Nicholas Yee apart is his eye for capturing not only the big, emotional moments but also the quiet, loving exchanges and the spontaneous moments of levity that made our wedding day uniquely ours. We were blown away by the pictures and the moments he captured. We can only really describe the pictures as breathtakingly “cinematic.” 10/10!!! On top of his artistry, his organizational skills were impeccable. He efficiently coordinated all of the family and wedding party photos with incredible time management, ensuring everything was done quickly and beautifully. He budgeted extra time in the timeline for delays which was most appreciated! This allowed us to maximize time with our guests and enjoy the celebration while still getting every shot we had hoped for—and then some! If you are looking for a photographer who is professional, organized, funny, and, above all, an artist who can tell the story of your day with authenticity and heart, then book Nicholas Yee and his team.

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.

I highly recommend Electrified DJ Services if you are looking for a professional and energized DJ service. They go beyond the regular duties of a DJ to make your event (wedding, in my case) flow smoothly! There was an issue with the venue during my wedding, and we had to alter our timelines by over an hour. Ernest was so professional and helped to find a solution to this problem so my husband and I, as well as our friends and family, could enjoy our evening. The MC (Marlowe) kept the reception perfectly paced (even after the end of the event was moved up) without making my husband and me feel rushed or stressed. In addition, they did a spectacular job at choosing music that kept all our guests (of all ages) on the dance floor and having a wonderful time. I could not have asked for a better DJ and MC for my wedding reception. I would recommend Electrified DJ Services to anyone who wants a fantastic, fun, professional DJ service that goes out of its way to make your event (whatever it may be) a tremendous success!

I'm still smiling thinking about our March wedding - it was absolute perfection at Crossed Keys. We were originally interested in the venue from the gorgeous pictures we saw online. The grounds are stunning but because we knew we were leaning more towards a winter/early spring wedding and NJ weather is famously unpredictable, we wanted to make sure that the indoor area was beautiful as well. CKE definitely fit the bill. I have a reputation for being a foodie so I was skeptical of most venues and caterers as we were still deciding, but when Katherine, the owner, told me during our tour that they serve lechon (I'm Filipino and my husband's Peruvian), I thought OH, these people actually know what they're talking about. And I was completely right! Multiple people told us that it was the best wedding food they'd ever had, and we have a pretty tough and selective crowd. I'm not sure how many other venues can serve good lechon and ceviche at a cocktail hour. The whole team was super communicative and responsive throughout the entire process. Katherine always says to give her a call if you need anything, and she really means it. And the planning spreadsheet they provide you helps you think about lots of things you might otherwise miss. Jess and her team did such a stunning job on our florals and decor. I think she actually did a better job than the inspiration photos we showed her, which is incredible to say. She was also flexible in working with us within our budget. Kyle did an amazing job as our maître d’ and was constantly checking up on us throughout the night. My dad said it was like he was "everywhere." And Rosemary, our waitstaff for the night, was also so sweet, making sure we were always topped off and fed. Danielle was our venue coordinator, but more importantly our literal angel. She was with us every step of the way during planning, and was on top of absolutely everything. On the day of, she didn’t take of just us, but she also showed our families so much kindness. My parents in particular were really grateful to her, especially for helping them resolve a vendor issue, which I had no idea about until after. The day went perfectly from my lens. But that's how you know you have a good coordinator! From the venue to the food to the decor and the service, the CKE team made what could have been a very stressful day utterly seamless. We felt truly taken care of, and the sweet note and pictures they left us at the end of the night were the cherry on top. We're just hoping to one day be invited as guests to a wedding here so we can experience it all for ourselves! Photo Credit: Forged in the North

Fernando is amazing!! My husband and I are so happy with the whole experience from start to finish. My husband’s brother and his wife also booked Fernando for their wedding and we had such a great time at their wedding we decided to book him for ours. We booked the photobooth which is a must and the lighting for our wedding through Bneventgroup and everything was great! Fernando was so professional and everything was well organized we didn’t even have to think about what was happening next and everyone had a great time at our wedding, everyone was complimenting us and asking about our DJ!! We will definitely recommend Fernando to all of our families and friends, thank you again Fernando!!

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!!!

Working with Lace & Rose Events was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Leading up to the day, they were incredibly helpful—always available to answer questions, quick to respond, and full of thoughtful, practical advice. They helped us fine-tune every detail of our timeline and made sure nothing was overlooked. On the wedding day, they made me feel calm, confident, and completely taken care of. Everything ran so smoothly thanks to their organization and support.

I can't recommend About Designs highly enough! From the moment we started planning, Sonya was incredible. Our wedding venue was non-traditional, a boat, and Sonya approached the challenge with such creativity and enthusiasm. She truly brought our vision to life, transforming our ideas into a breathtaking reality. Her attention to detail and innovative approach made our day unforgettable.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I don't even know where to START!!!! This gal immediately became part of the crew from the first photos with the bridesmaids to the end of the night rager! Angelica and her second shooter were both incredible start to finish. Great at going with the flow but also making sure to get those photos that I had on my shot list (no matter how hard everyone was making that haha!) She had the best energy that helped me not feel nervous at all and honestly empowered from the start. She got so many amazing details that we are literally having a viewing party with all of our local guests because we just cannot choose which photos to post. I chose her because her photos and galleries all looked so different but one common theme was everyone looked like they were 1. having fun and 2. being themselves. Personally posed photos aren't for me. So when I saw her galleries I knew I wanted her above all other photographers. And I had a chart of 21 that I researched but after my first meeting with her I was sold. I chose three photos for this review- one of her capturing the insanity of our hair at the reception, Angelica being a part of the crew (my dad mentioned 3 times how great she was and how much he loved her and the second shooter) and the one where she truly shows her style of capturing natural excitement in the people and world around her.

We had such an amazing experience with Dean Michaels for our wedding photography! The whole staff was so friendly and helpful both pre and post wedding. We’re not picture people at all and our photographer, Laura, made us feel so comfortable and gave such great direction. She immediately picked up on our personalities and the vibe we were looking for in the photos and captured everything perfectly. She didn’t miss a moment. We absolutely love all the photos and they were delivered quickly and were so easy to access and browse. Thank you!! -Jeanette & Joe
