Weddings are a lot of work… let us help You already have a working vision but need a professional to answer questions, offer advice, and coordinate the details of your wedding day so it can be everything you ever dreamed of. Please submit all inquires directly through our website.

Victoria went above and beyond for us through the entire process. From the moment we had our first meeting to review the timeline she put together (included as part of day-of coordinator services), we knew we made the right decision. She helped us review decor and tackle other items, and then the day-of was fantastic. She coordinated with our other vendors, supported our families/bridal party throughout the day, and ensured everything went according to plan as much as possible. For anything that didn't, she was on top of it with an adjustment and ensured the day continued to run smoothly. Would absolutely recommend Victoria at Little Wooden Flower for day of coordinating services, even if the venue has a coordinator -- she was essential to our day being stress-free and relaxing!

Imagine your guests entering your reception to the sounds of violins as they arrive to your venue, then enter your ceremony or cocktail to the sounds of a string or classical ensemble. Let us show you how to start your party off right and give your guests a “sense of arrival".

We had the pleasure of having Phase One perform at our wedding for the ceremony, reception, and after-party, and they absolutely blew us away! From start to finish, they were engaged not only with us but with the entire crowd. Their energy was contagious, and they knew exactly how to read the room, keeping everyone on the dance floor the whole time. The transitions between songs were seamless, and the variety in their set list kept all of our guests—young and old—dancing nonstop. We couldn’t have asked for a better band to set the perfect tone for our big day. Highly recommend Phase One to anyone looking to elevate their event with incredible live music! A special shout out to our Band leader Rich who made the process so easy!

I just wanted to stop by to thank you for your professionalism, and for being so thorough. I’ve worked with a lot of wedding vendors and you were well organized and prepared, you communicated with all of the other vendors (myself included) to make sure we were always on the same page. I have plenty of horror stories about other DJ’s that I’ve worked with over the years, I’ll spare you the details…but you were just a breath of fresh air! The other vendors noticed too, I over heard them saying that they were impressed at how many people were on the dance floor and that you were the best they’d heard. If I ever get married, you’re my guy! All the best with your new company. Anyone that chooses to go with you will not regret it.

I’ve been in the beauty industry for 14 years. I’ve excelled in many different angles from cutting, coloring, extensions, styling & more. Bridal/Formal styling has given me a sense of fun & excitement from the moment I’m packing my bridal kit to the moment she’s headed out the doors. I genuinely love every experience of what I do!

There is no one else I’d trust my hair in the hands of! Shannette has done my hair for 4 weddings now including my own and she never disappoints. I have extremely thick, long, corse hair which for some stylist can be a nightmare but she kills it every single time! Look no further i promise you will not regret!

Hi my name is Cristian M. Velez, I am the lead cinematographer and owner at Cinemarvelfilms. All started when I got one of my first cameras over 10 years ago, and began filming my daughter's life from birth all the way until she was 7 years old. When I edited all of the short clips together to create a film capturing her first seven years of life, my passion for crafting memories and telling stories through video began.

As a Wedding Coordinator/Planner, one of the things I love is connecting with other vendors. I recently did a wedding with Cristian and his team and it was an absolute pleasure. He was so easy to work with, very responsive and overall amazing. His work was absolutely amazing and he provided us a sneak peak of their wedding film the day after the wedding! I highly recommend working with Cinemarvelfilms to capture all those special moments throughout your big day! STAR ROSE CREATIONS

Born into the world of beauty, I discovered my passion for makeup at an early age, i was truly inspired by my mother, a talented makeup artist. I honed my craft in London and have since brought my artistry to global platforms like New York Fashion Week and top fashion events. My work has been featured in leading publications including Harper’s Bazaar, Elle, Fashion, and Marie Claire. I believe in the power of makeup to make people feel confident, radiant, and beautifully themselves.

Malika did my makeup for a party once, and I absolutely loved how it turned out! She gave me a look that felt very natural and still made me feel special. What I really appreciated was how friendly and easygoing she was — it made the whole experience so comfortable. She listened to what I wanted and didn’t go overboard, which I really liked. If you're someone who prefers subtle, elegant makeup, I’d definitely recommend her!

Awarded Best of Zola
I truly can't say enough good things about Lex, I recommend her to every person I know! She's an amazing person, her work is incredible, and she always goes above and beyond for her clients. She's so easygoing, extremely flexible, and will make your shoots so comfortable and relaxed. We did a few shoots with Lex prior to getting engaged. She actually helped my fiance plan our engagement and she absolutely nailed both execution and the photos. She was the first vendor we booked for our wedding and was the easiest decision we made the entire planning process. She was extremely patient at our official engagement shoot when we brought our crazy dogs and were trying to get them to sit still and pose for a few photos, and had no issues editing out a big black stain that got on the side of my white dress during our shoot. She's someone who truly cares about her work AND her clients, and will do whatever she needs to to make your experience perfect. Every frame in my house is filled with photos taken by Lex. If you're considering hiring her for your big day, this is your sign to DO IT!

Mushmouth 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $8,000
  • Serves Essex Fells, NJ

Mushmouth plays every show like it's Madison Square Garden! Lead singer Bill's energy is off the charts - a mix of Bruce Springsteen, Mick, Jagger, James Brown and a sprinkle of David Byrne all rolled into one! The band, a group of longtime friends, pulls off note for note renditions of all the songs while also adding to the on-stage fun. The Mushmouth show consists of big hits, one hit wonders and lost nuggets from the 70's, 80's, 90's and beyond. From Glen Campbell to the FOO FIGHTERS, Duran Duran to Eric Church.

Mushmouth is an absolutely incredible band—they had people asking us all night (and still to this day) how I found them. I think I turned quite a few of our wedding guests into Mushmouth groupies! From the beginning they were very accommodating, always quick to respond and accommodating to our song requests. They have a huge set list to select from no matter what your taste is, and they even learned new songs just for us so that we could do our first dance with live music. It really felt like we were part of a live concert just for us at our wedding. They sound so amazing and not only are they truly talented musicians, but they are also incredible performers who got everyone to dance and sing along. I received compliments all night that they were the best cover band anyone had ever heard. Mushmouth made our wedding day extra special, and I would book them again in a heartbeat.

A Passion for Perfection: On your special day, it should be all about YOU! You deserve to feel like a celebrity, and to be treated like one too.That’s why we created Blush and Brush Event Styling. Meet Your Event Stylists: Maryanne has over 30 years of hairstyling experience & high volume event coordination. She is a mom of 3 - two beautiful girls and one handsome young man. She thrives on putting others' needs ahead of her own. Her energy and positivity is unmatched - she has the power to make you feel like the absolute best version of yourself.

The most AMAZING Bridal Experience!!! Beyond exceeded my expectations! I cannot express how amazing this team of people are. Passionate, proactive, punctual, personable, professional, I could go on and on. I felt a connection with both Maryanne and Gabby instantly and was assured from our first conversation that the Blush and Brush Experience was unique and nothing like anything else out there. They were right. From start to finish I felt completely at ease on my Wedding Day. They took care of EVERYTHING from an amazing music playlist to kick start the day to always making sure our mimosa glasses were filled and that doesn’t even include the Hair and Makeup! Their team of artists were absolutely amazing, so tremendously talented and to make it even better, such sweethearts! From the first curl in my hair to the last touch ups of lipgloss, the team was so aware of making me feel and look my best. They treated everyone of my bridesmaids as if they were the bride with their attention to detail and nonstop checking in to make sure all was okay. The “Experience” really is an Experience. The team was by my side through everything that day! Getting ready, steaming my dress, even taking pictures and candids! Tissues on hand at all times, mints readily available, sewing kits, etc. etc. I felt completely cared for on a much deeper level, they genuinely cared about the day and me as a whole. There is no price tag on that! Trust me! The best part about Blush and Brush is that they were not just a hired hair and makeup team, they literally became part of my life where I still keep touch! The best part was seeing Jay and Maryanne during my reception! Jay dancing with my Mom and friends and Maryanne hugging everyone showed that these people became part of my wedding day in more a way than they will ever know. I am not one to write reviews but with this service, I had to. I could not recommend the Blush and Brush Team any more! They made my Wedding Day! Xoxo

  • Serves Essex Fells, NJ

I reside in Jersey City, New Jersey, serving New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and beyond. I grew up surrounded by family photos. My parents had a professional photography business, Infinity Photography, back in the days of film. My friend asked me to do her senior portraits, so I started my photography business after my parent's business was closed for nearly 20 years. Fun fact, I chose "Grey" because I'm a nerd, and I love Jean Grey - she's my fave X-men. Also, my name is hard to spell, especially when you hear it. It's like "Leah" with a "Tuh."

Taliya gave us the absolute best wedding photography experience. She was extremely professional and quick to answer any questions at any point along the way. She made sure every detail was arranged before hand so there were 0 surprises along the way and day of. Not to mention that the photos turned out phenomenal.

At Remember That! Photography, I’m all about capturing the real stuff—the moments that matter, big and small. I’ve been photographing weddings since 2012, and after years of documenting love stories, I’ve launched this new business with a fresh perspective and a focus blending creative storytelling with genuine emotion, from quiet first looks to the wild dance floor moments. I take the time to get to know each couple so your photos reflect your personality, not just a checklist. The result? Timeless images that feel true to you and your day.

There are a lot of photographers out there, and it can be hard to decide which is the right one for you. I can say that I am very happy we chose Chuck. He was professional from start to finish, and made the day go smoothly. We came to him with a list of family / bridal party photos we wanted posed at the church, and he made sure we got every grouping, and still had time to get pictures of just the two of us at a park before the reception. We received our pictures much faster than we expected and are very happy with the results. His all inclusive pricing made us both attracted to him and skeptical of that being true, but everything was actually included in the package price.

To put it simply, we could not have chosen a better wedding venue! Working with Sara (our wedding coordinator) was such a pleasure and she helped us make our vision come to life. The service, food, and level of professionalism was incredible and our guests cannot stop telling us how wonderful our wedding weekend was. The only thing we were disappointed about was that the remaining wedding favors (we did bottles of wine) went missing after my mother in law asked them to pack them up. They advised her that they would deliver them to her room, and unfortunately they never did. Aside from that, we were happy with our experience. If you are searching for a venue that feels like a true vacation without having to take a flight, this is the perfect place.

I can't begin to describe the amazing wedding celebration we had at The Terrace at Biagio's. We had our ceremony at the venue as well and everything went perfect! Barbara and John were top tier! Communicating with me from the moment we met until the wedding, answering all my questions at all hours and making our vision come to life! They were on top of everything from start to finish, and we were constantly taken care of us. Not only did they excel but they did it all with great personality and love! The Terrace itself was a gem! Our guests raved about the cocktail hour! It was an assortment of the best food possible, all so fresh and impossible to not go back for more. Bar service was top notch and our signature drinks were a hit! (Barbra actually was the one who made that vision come alive! Lavender martini and bacon maple ole fashioned). The dessert hour was a fire show! (Literally a fire show) And there was every dessert possible! Carnival, ice creams, cakes, cookies, chocolate fondue, etc! We had our first look down the road at another location but we took photos on site in the front of the entrance to the terrace and they came out beautiful! It's a smaller area but it has beautiful flowers and a stream. The ceremony was on the roof top and it was beautiful with the waterfall fountain and stone fire place! Lots of cute places to take some very nice photos! Along with the string lights and arch, it was a dream. I can't rave enough about how much Biagios made our day so enjoyable, and beautiful. I would recommend them over and over again thank you again to the hardworking staff, Barbara, John and Tommy. It is a night we will cherish forever. Oh, and they allow dogs to be in the ceremony It was everything to be able to have our fur baby share our special day with us.

I want to start off by saying to those who are unsure about spending the money on a videographer: you’ll never regret having those videos, but you will forever regret NOT having them. Wow — where do I even begin? Working with Armando, Amanda, and The Fourth Film Team has been absolutely phenomenal! They are so kind, patient, and above all, incredibly talented! I spoke with several videographers before hiring The Fourth Film. I was so impressed with the care and time Armando spent speaking with me during our consultation call. I love how he had creative ideas for setting the scene for the video that reflected my own unique relationship with my partner. It felt like a creative collaboration. On the day of the wedding the team was helpful, positive, unobtrusive, and diligent. My partner and I wanted more of a candid Film style. The Fourth Film team absolutely has delivered and totally understood our vision. They fully respected that we did not want to be taken away from the celebration for staged moments. Above all, I’m absolutely amazed at everything I’ve seen so far, and the turnaround time has been so impressive! The Fourth Film’s video editing quality and story telling ability is above and beyond what I hoped for, and their price point is far below what the quality of their work deserves!

Relive the moments as you experienced them. When it comes to your wedding, what are you most excited about? The ceremony? Dancing the night away with family and friends?

This way, you'll not only experience the moments of your wedding day - you'll remember them well. Who better to photograph your experiences than a husband and wife team who understands the importance of this day. And the moments that shape it.
