When I hired All In Entertainment, I had multiple options to choose from; however, Anthony's energetic and relatable personality and his knowledge and expertise was what made me choose him as my provider for DJ services. When the time came for my wedding day, (we DIY'D everything) so naturally we ran entirely behind schedule! That's when my DJ Mike SAVED the day along with my photographer and they basically took the coordination of placing the guests in and out of the appropriate rooms and they even helped me make a candle light outdoor ceremony look even better. Mike was exceptional, he confirmed that all the songs that were specifically requested for the ceremony and introductions were played and he went over them with me to make sure that he had them correct AND HE DID! Anthony ABSOLUTELY killed it with the intro remix I requested! Overall it was a great experience from booking to the actual day of the event. Thank you All In Entertainment and team! The Darby's

Eddie was so easy to be around that it felt like he was a friend who just happened to be taking photos rather than a professional we hired to be there. We never felt rushed or stressed, he gives clear and easy direction, and he even learned guest's names (and instruction in another language!) to help make everyone feel comfortable. He was patient and able to maintain control even when our large group was easily distracted. We had multiple calls with him to make sure we were on the same page, he always answered emails and texts quickly, and communicating with him was a breeze. Our engagement photos were on the hottest day of 2024 and he helped us get the shots we needed in one take every time, without literally melting. He has a unique eye for capturing candid pics and silhouettes, which is exactly what we wanted. We're in LOVE with our photos and he got them back to us much quicker than we expected. I would hire him again immediately!

Hello! My name is Alec and I run Small Batch Films! With a Master's Degree in Business Administration, I never thought I would find my love in wedding videography. I initially picked up a camera as a hobby, and then friends started asking me to do photography for them. Pretty soon I was doing photography for my friend's weddings, and I was hooked. It was such an exhilarating feeling to capture such an important day in the lives of two people in love! But where I really found my love was with the video camera.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Alec was easy and fun! He has a shining personality and is SO energetic and fun to work with. We got compliments from everyone at the wedding watching how Alec was working with us, our bridal party and guests. He has such a creative mind and you can tell that he puts so much thought and effort into every moment of your day. I am so grateful that he was our videographer, our video was amazing quality and breathtaking (like all videos he does). I would highly recommend Small Batch for your big day!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Isaac’s photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking.

Thank you so much, Kelsey and Erica for beautifying me and my wedding party! I was on the fence about getting hair and makeup done professionally, and I'm glad I went for it! Kelsey did an amazing job setting me up for success during our trial, taking my "natural look" inspiration photos and translating them for my skin tone. We made some tweaks to my day of look and it turned out better than I could have imagined! Erica did a great job with everyone's hair, and the vibe Kelsey and Erica brought was wonderful and relaxing. Plus my look really had staying power, through happy tears, crazy winds, and a sweaty dance floor, I still looked put together and like a bride.

Ne'Kea and the Art of Beauty team were impeccable. I needed someone who could do both makeup and hair, and my wedding party had a spectrum of races, skin tones and hair types. This was not a problem at all for Ne'Kea and her team. Contacting her was easy and her responsiveness was prompt and professional. She worked with me to schedule my trial, which could have been a challenge because I live in New York and the wedding was in Baltimore. We ended up doing the trial near me in New Jersey and it couldn't have been more convenient. We had some last minute schedule changes with my bridal party on the day of the wedding and the team handled it easily. And my makeup and hair were exactly what I had envisioned. Everything was perfection!

Thank you for visiting & CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR ENGAGEMENT!!! We are based in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area but travel all over for weddings. Our furthest yet was Vermont! Our bright, colorful & crisp photography style provides our clients with timeless images that will be forever cherished. When I am not working, I enjoy drinking wine, trying new breweries, traveling to the New Jersey shore with my husband, our baby boy born in February 2024 & family, watching Harry Potter for the millionth time, & cuddling with our mini schnauzer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Seriously... book her NOW! Get comfortable, because this is going to be a long one - Before I begin, let me just prepare you for a ton of synonyms because there just simply aren't enough words to describe how utterly amazing Andrea Krout Photograhy is. Do you want stunning, bright, high quality, breathtaking photos? Do you want a photographer who makes you feel like you've been best friends your whole life? Not a best friend who will just tell you what you want to hear - an actual, true friend who makes sure you look good and puts you in poses she knows work for YOU? Do you want professionalism? Thorough communication? To laugh your entire session and never have to worry whether or not she got "the shot?" Of course you do - who doesn't? That's why your search ends here. With Andrea, you get all of these things... and more! I started the hunt for a photographer when we got engaged in 2019. I somehow landed on Andrea's Facebook and instantly LOVED her style. After reading the bio on her website, I sent an inquiry and almost immediately received the nicest response that didn't simply give me pricing options - oh, no. The first paragraph was just Andrea being so excited for me and asking all the details - how he proposed, how long have we been together, what do we love doing together? And I was sold. I never even inquired with another photographer because I knew this is the person I wanted documenting the most important day(s) of our lives. So, naturally, the world came to a stop right before our planned dinner date to get to know each other (how sweet is she?!) and instead "met" over a Zoom meeting. We discussed that we would be postponing to [this] year. Three hours and one bottle of wine later, we figured out the details for her to come shoot our "mini-mony" wedding on our original date. That day comes and my family couldn't stop talking about how much they adored her! Honestly, she will make you feel like she has known you and your family forever. Okay, I'm probably losing you here so fast forward to our real wedding last weekend and as things go, we got a little bit behind in makeup so Andrea (and her AMAZING second-shooter Rachel) were already at the venue getting the groom shots, details shots, etc. I get there, I'm stressed, not entirely confident in my last-minute coordinator supplied by my venue, and there's Andrea ready to greet me with a huge hug, smile and all the reassuring words a bride needs to hear. Instant relief. When I tell you that Andrea (and Rachel <3) went ABOVE AND BEYOND their job description, I whole-heartedly mean it. She literally bustled my dress and helped me get in/out when I needed to pee. Without this girl, my day would have been unbelievably chaotic and frankly, a mess, but she truly saved it. She will not only photograph your day and produce those breathtaking photos (which she 10000% did because I already got my sneak peeks), but she will be your shoulder to lean on because she truly cares about her brides and loves what she does. I hope this entirely long novel of a review is enough to convince you that Andrea Krout Photography is the right choice, but if not, look at the other stellar reviews and her portfolio because her work speaks for itself. Andrea and Rachel - I could never thank you enough for everything you did and giving us the most incredible photos that I haven't been able to stop looking at. Forever indebted to you!

We believe that individuality is beauty and we avoid “have to” and “should” statements. We treat every client experience like a collaboration. We want your hair and makeup to reflect who you are and what you like. Our goal is that when you look at yourself in the mirror you look like yourself but you feel chic and ready for the day. This is a safe space and we want you to make the adjustments you need to. Let us know what you don’t like or do like and we will find the sweet spot that helps you to look timeless.

Eva Marie is absolutely incredible. Since I wasn’t local, we did a hair tutorial the day before—and even then, she blew me away. But on the big day? She truly outdid herself. The photos say it all—my hair looks AWESOME. From the moment I reached out to Earth Tones, the communication was seamless. I heard back the same day and was able to quickly schedule a call to talk through everything for the wedding. Eva was always responsive, whether I had questions about which extensions to buy or needed help finalizing the schedule. She even offered grooming services for my now-husband, which was such a thoughtful touch. I loved that he got a little pampering! On the day of, she styled me and all of my bridesmaids—and everyone looked and felt amazing. Eva brought such a calming, grounding presence to what could’ve been a stressful morning. And seriously—just look at that photo. My hair looked incredible. I couldn’t be happier. I wholeheartedly recommend her. Total professional, total artist, total gem.

My husband and I had one non-negotiable for our wedding - to have a live band. We went to the BVT showcase and immediately fell in love with Experience. They were a little bit out of our budget, but we decided to book them anyways and cut back on other things and let me tell you ...they were worth every single penny!!! Luke is the nicest, coolest guy and so great to work with!! He listened to every request we had leading up and I truly didn't think about a thing during the wedding day - he had our timeline completely under control and kept us on track (and if we were running behind I still have no idea because he's that good!!). The band is INCREDIBLE and had our guests on the dance floor all night!! I realized at the end of the night I never even changed out of my heels into my white sneakers because that would have meant leaving the dance floor. Our guests are still telling us how amazing the band was and several of them even got their card for their own events! Having Experience was the best decision we made!! Thank you to all of you for making our wedding day so memorable and fun!!

I had such a positive experience working with the Dhalia team for my private estate wedding. Both Melissa and Deliece were incredibly kind, attentive, and professional. I worked closely with Melissa the entire time; she was incredibly thorough and genuinely cared about every detail. I didn't really have much help planning the wedding aside from the Dhalia team, so it meant so much that they took the role seriously and were there to guide me every step of the way, from vendor selection and managing the timeline to providing their general expertise, etc. Despite having less time to plan the wedding (around 5 months or so), I felt confident that they could pull it off, and they did not disappoint. From our initial call, their confidence, experience, and professionalism assured me, which was exactly what I needed because my partner and I had no idea what we were doing. They executed everything perfectly and brought my vision to life. It really was a perfect day. On the day of the wedding, their additional staff was exceptional. A special shoutout to Antonia for her support and attentiveness. She was a literal angel! You can't go wrong with Dhalia Events. They made my wedding day truly magical!

If you're the kind of couple that would prefer their photographer feel like one of the guests as opposed to a paparazzi, and if when the neighbors complain about the noise, you just invite them to the party, keep reading. I take a documentary-style approach to my weddings. Roaming with a camera, I capture the candid moments and small details that make your wedding unique to you, while making sure to set aside time for a few special portraits.

Awarded Best of Zola
Steph is a wizard, ninja, and a unicorn all rolled into one. From the minute we reached out to her she immediately made us know we were in good hands. She was clear, communicative, and professional, but every time we talked it still felt like talking to an old friend. (Several of our guests assumed that she WAS an old friend of ours who happened to be a photographer — that’s how warm and chill she is.) Ahead of time she was great about getting details of exactly what we wanted, so that on the big day she just slipped in and out seamlessly without pulling us away from the fun. She was also careful to figure out exactly what we wanted the vibes of the final product to be (candid, colorful, joyful) and she delivered in spades. The finished products are beautiful and were delivered quickly (both the digital copies and the physical prints we ordered). We cannot recommend her highly enough!

I can't thank her enough for her outstanding professional work!!! Alison perfectly achieved the soft curls and half ponytail I wanted, and her work lasted all day!!!! I danced, sweated, and even did pirouettes, yet my hair and curlers remained impeccable! (This is especially impressive since my natural hair is extremely straight!). They were professional, punctual, kind, and patient. One advantage for me was that they had previously worked at Park Chateau, making navigating the venue easy. Overall, communication with Alison and her team was excellent and prompt. My mom and bridesmaid LOVED their hair and makeup as well. My mom kept saying she couldn't believe how good it looked—it was like she had an Instagram filter on! I highly recommend her 100000000000!! I am incredibly grateful!!!!

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. Everyone was complimenting how beautiful and elegant the flowers were, and how well they tied together the entire wedding vision. I would 100% recommend Nicole and Glitzed Events!

MC Fish Entertainment was the perfect choice for our wedding DJ. From the very first interaction, Dave's communication was fast, accurate, and friendly. Dave, aka MC Fish, not only did an incredible job as our DJ, but he went above and beyond to provide helpful advice, tips, and anything else we needed on our wedding day. He kept everyone on the dance floor and helped our reception run perfectly smooth! I am so thankful we chose MC Fish Entertainment and would hire them again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Dave!

For the biggest day of your life, you can't look anything less than brilliant. The morning of your wedding, we bring our team to sharpen up the gents. With our straight razor shaves, haircuts & styling, the groom and his party will be shining for the main event and photo shoots. We're great at tying bow ties and we won't forget the bourbon, cigars and music.

When we first started booking vendors for our wedding, I knew Christian from Doorbell Barbers was a non-negotiable. Christian is perfectly suited for his craft—calm, detail-oriented, and incredibly service-driven. He made each one of my groomsmen feel special and truly taken care of. This is a unique and thoughtful service that set the tone for our day, and all the guys looked amazing in the photos because of it.

I don’t even know where to start when it comes to Shelby. To put into perspective how much I absolutely love her work, we not only hired her for our city hall wedding, but also hired her and her partner Jordan (videographer) for our big wedding. They also just photographed my cousin Kate’s wedding this past weekend. Kate met Shelby and Jordan at my big wedding, and absolutely fell in love with not only their work, but them as people. My partner and I aren’t good at taking photos. We are very awkward, and feel uncomfortable being the center of attention. But Shelby made it SO EASY and SO FUN for us. Not only were our photos beyond our expectations, the video Jordan created for us was absolutely out of this world. They are such incredible human beings, and both so talented. I plan to use Shelby and Jordan for every event in the future.

Think of us as your partners in memory-making. We'll be there laughing, dancing, and capturing every crazy, beautiful moment. Our mission is simple: make your love shine. No rules, no boredom. Your love story is one-of-a-kind, and that's how we approach filming it. We're not just about the big scenes; we're into the little details, the stolen glances, the goofy grins – everything that makes your love yours.

We are so thrilled to be writing this review because we simply cannot speak highly enough of Trey and TreeHouse. We have never worked with video for another event before, so we weren’t sure quote what to look for, but came across Trey’s videos and could immediately tell they were something special. We’re both musicians and also appreciated how well the edits synced with the music as well. We were hoping that our wedding video would have a documentary feel — capturing the beautiful natural location in New York’s Catskill mountains and the feeling of our group of people coming together to celebrate us. It was a laid back wedding and a really amazing group of loved ones and we wanted to see and hear things that wouldn’t be captured in photos and we wouldn’t be able to take in at the time. Trey helped craft a specific package to meet our request and speaking to him it was clear he understood what we were hoping for and built on that vision with his perspective. Wow! Trey delivered!! He brought in a second shooter, Brent, who was so helpful in capturing the day. Not only were they truly amazing people to be around (all of our friends and family were so comfortable and at ease with them), they were exceptionally professional and skilled. They kept us calm and collected in the midst of details and a tight wedding day schedule. Watching the videos was an emotional experience because Trey managed to capture the feeling of the wedding celebration perfectly and get candid and intimate interviews with our friends and family that touched us (and were new to us) months after the wedding. It was clear just how carefully Trey had listened to us in our meetings leading up to the wedding — he heard us and did an amazing job bringing our dreams to life. I really wish I had videos like this capturing other important times in my life. If you are considering whether to get a videographer for your special event or wedding, you absolutely should. If you are considering Treehouse Creative, I cannot recommend it highly enough as people and as professionals! Seriously!
