From the moment we met Miranda at Star Rose Creations, we felt confident we had found the right team for our wedding. We interviewed many day-of coordinators, but we chose her because of her energy - she was so warm and trustworthy from our very first call. Our wedding at St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC was large and complex, but Miranda and her team handled every detail with such grace and coordination that we barely had to think about logistics. When I lost track of my phone at 11am on the morning of the wedding, they took care of every detail and contact without me having to lift a finger. Star Rose Creations went above and beyond in every way: detail-oriented, reliable, and so kind to everyone in our wedding party.

Jonathan was an excellent videographer. In the wedding prep, he was so easy to work with. His emails and contracts were simple and easy to read. He was great to talk to over video chat to get things set up. We were especially anxious about video for our ceremony after a bad experience with another videographer, but he reassured us and took precautions to double check everything.

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.

Working with Mitali was an absolute delight! All of our calls were incredibly structured and organized. I always knew what stage of the planning process we were in and what outstanding items there might have been. She did an incredibly job bringing our floral vision to life. She has the ability to fill in the gaps if you’re not quite sure about a certain floral aspects as well as knowing how to follow your requests to an absolute T. Our wedding ceremony was the vision of floral minimalism with a gorgeous eye-catching floral focal point at our altar. Our reception was literally a vision from my dream. The bud vases, floating candles, votives - it was literally exactly like every single image I had pinned to my Pinterest board.

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!

We hired Intrinsic Groove to perform at our wedding in April 2026 and it was nothing short of INCREDIBLE. We watched a lot of videos and felt confident they were going to be great, but they far exceeded our expectations. They were high energy, crowd engaging, phenomenal performers who met the vibe every single time. Vocals were KILLER. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and I credit a lot of that to the energy the band brought. On top of a killer reception, they also did incredible ceremony and cocktail hour music that made everything flow harmoniously. You just can’t beat a killer band for your wedding, worth every penny! Highly recommend “Like a Prayer” by Madonna to get all generations singing along!! Photo Credit to our epic photographer, Victoria of An Endless Pursuit

We first found Matthew at a friend’s wedding in New Jersey over two years ago, and from that day on we knew we wanted him at our wedding. Even though we’ve seen so many other wedding saxophone players since then, no one ever compared. When it came time to plan our own wedding, booking Matthew was one of the easiest decisions we made. From the start, Matthew was one of the kindest vendors we worked with. He was so easygoing, enthusiastic, and genuinely excited to be part of our day. He played as guests entered the reception room, seamlessly transitioned into cocktail and dinner vibes, then completely transformed the dance floor after dinner and kept the energy going through the after-party. His talent is incredible and he can play to anything and everything. From songs my parents loved, to our favorites, to Drake, Olivia Dean, country, ABBA, and everything in between. Our guests loved him too. We had so many people coming up to us throughout the night and afterward asking who he was and telling us how amazing he was. He was one of the biggest hits of our wedding and we’re so grateful.

I don’t even know where to begin. From the moment we had our first meeting to the very end, Nicole and the entire team were exceptional. 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. They were just as excited as we were with the mock ups and their communication and guidance is unmatched. Day of the wedding, I didn’t have to worry about a single thing.

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.

Wish I could give this family-owned venue 100 stars. My husband and I could not have dreamed of a more beautiful, more seamless, more special day than the one we had for our mid-September wedding. It was the first venue we saw, and the only one we needed to.

Every step of the way during the planning process was organized, easy, and most importantly, FUN, all thanks to the team's creativity, hospitality, and kindness.

The service was absolutely fantastic - we did not hire a wedding planner and had no trouble working with the venue directly to coordinate ourselves. Wish we could do it all over again!!!!

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'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.

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
