Awarded Best of Zola
DJ Duran was absolutely unreal. He didn’t just play music, he created an EXPERIENCE. From our reception entrance to the very last song of the night, the energy never dropped. Not once. The dance floor was packed the entire night! Every transition was seamless, every beat hit at the perfect moment, and somehow every single song felt like it was exactly what the crowd wanted before they even knew it. He read the room flawlessly and built the night like a story — starting elegant and polished, then turning it into a full-blown party. It felt like we were in a club, but still classy and elevated. Exactly the vibe we wanted. The biggest proof? We are STILL getting texts weeks later about how insane the playlist was. Multiple guests have said it was the best wedding dance floor they’ve ever been on. That kind of feedback speaks for itself. If you want your wedding to feel electric, high-energy, and completely unforgettable — book DJ Duran. He will have your guests talking about it long after the last song plays.

He was always available to answer our questions and made us feel so comfortable leading up to our wedding day. On the day of, Seth and Sarah were calm, fun, and somehow managed to be everywhere at once without ever feeling intrusive. He captured all of the big moments and so many little ones that we’ll cherish forever. The moment we went through even just our sneak peaks, we were already blown away.

We used Glitzed Events for our wedding florals and they did a fantastic job! Nicole went above and beyond before we even chatted on the phone, quickly putting together a concept board of the wedding florals just from a Pinterest board I had sent. It was exactly what I was envisioning and I knew I wanted to work with her simply by her going the extra mile from day one. When we did have the initial conversation, Nicole took her time getting to know us and our style, and explained her whole process and answered any questions we had. She helped us stay within our budget while still providing high quality, creative and beautiful florals. The day of the wedding, Nicole hand delivered the personal florals and showed us the correct ways to hold the bouquets.

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 hired Sarah for her services roughly a year out from our wedding. From the start, Sarah was extremely responsive and helped answer all my questions. During this time, we had selected a majority of our vendors but we needed Sarah's expertise in organizing our long to-do list, logistics and design ideas. A majority of our guests were traveling to our wedding so the logistics of how the weekend looked was very important to us as a couple. Sarah seamlessly was able to put together a plan to ensure that we were thinking of every detail needed to get our guests from point A to point B and back. During the weekend of the wedding, Sarah and her team were on top of every detail and that allowed myself and my husband to focus on enjoying the celebration. Sarah's ability to remain calm and handle any challenge that comes her way from vendors is truly an asset that anyone will want for their wedding weekend.

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.

My husband and I got married at the CKE this October 2024. There aren’t enough words to express our gratitude to their entire team for all of their hard work to make our visions and dreams come to life. Each and every staff member was kind, and helpful. If you had a question you’d get a response promptly and always with a “let’s see what we can do attitude”. Katherine (the owner) made you feel a part of the CKE family and always was looking to make the planning process seamless and easy for us and our family. The CKE floral and design team made our big ideas all come to life- we had a visions of big branching centerpieces with florals tucked in, that Jess and her team absolutely delivered on. On top of that, we asked for an installation over our sweetheart table. Jess and her team have many suggestions and shared they visited Home Depot at least 3 times to see how it would hang, and the final installation beyond exceeded our expectations. The talent and grace their team exudes is what ever bride and groom look for in a team. The planning process was also so seamless due to their amazing coordinator team. We worked with Katrina, the kindest, most professional coordinator we have ever met. Katrina was available at every step of the planning process, providing thoughtful recommendations due to her very obvious experience. Katrina also was there for our wedding day of helping to manage the schedule, set up, constantly checking in, and making sure it all went according to plan (which it did). In addition during the reception Katrina was checking with us throughout the night to see if we wanted to pivot anything or if we needed anything. We are extremely grateful for her support! In addition, Kyle was our maitre d’ for the evening and he did an absolutely wonderful job. He made sure to check in with my husband and I as well as our immediate family members. He was so kind and professional! Lastly but very importantly- the food and drinks! Most of all of our guests shared that this was the best wedding food they have ever had. It is no small feat cooking for large groups and every aspect of the food from the cocktail hour to the dinner course was absolutely fantastic. These are a few quotes from guests: - “The food was gourmet.” - “This is the real deal.” - “The sushi… Oh, the sushi! So fresh!” In addition, the bartenders crushed it! Everyone was impressed by the quality of the drinks and we never had a line at the bar- they were fast and catered to our guests. I would highly recommend the CKE to future couples getting married. The aspect of the family business really shows and ensures you have a tailored experience for your wedding. The entire staff is kind and down to earth- always willing to help. We wish them nothing but the best for their future wedding seasons!

What an EPIC night!!! there are truly no words to describe DJ Fernando S and the whole team at Blanc Noir Event Group. I danced the entire night, as did the rest of the guests at our recent wedding. Fernando was so easy to work with, met with us a few times and went over the whole day and details regarding various music, including do not plays, must plays, cocktail music, etc. I also want to shout out Fernando’s assistants for capturing some epic dance content and videos that added to our memories of the best night ever. Thank you isn’t enough to portray our gratitude for making our wedding so freaking sensational!!!

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. From keeping us on schedule to snapping behind-the-scenes photos and even fixing my hair late into the night, they handled it all with care and grace.

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 quick and easy to communicate with. She captured all of the emotion of the day with a lot of real and candid shots. She was SO fast with getting all the photos back to us. It felt like there was just another friend there.

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
