We had our wedding on the rooftop of Greats of Craft in September. We COULD NOT be happier with how the event turned out!!! First and foremost, Joe & Stella are awesome to work with - such friendly and genuine people. They made the planning process as stress-free as it could be, by being communicative, dependable, and accommodating. We already loved the venue, but meeting with them made it an easy decision to choose GoC. We held a mini-ceremony and the reception on the rooftop for 60 people. We wanted it to be less formal (like an “elevated party”) but still trendy, and GoC checked all the boxes. The vibes and setting were PERFECTION: the backdrop of the Queensboro Bridge at dusk for our ceremony; cute string lights with a brick wall and large screen for our slideshow, perfect weather, plenty of room for people to mingle, sit down to eat, and dance. The ENTIRE GoC team/staff were amazing. They were attentive, friendly, and took great care of us and all of our guests. Shout out to Trey and Eddie!! We went with in-house catering for the food - Chef Chris is the best and everything tasted delicious!!! We got SO many compliments on the food from our guests. We still continue to rave about GoC being such a gem of an event space. Trying to find a reasonably-priced, high-quality wedding venue in NYC is difficult and sometimes discouraging. We feel so fortunate that we were able to have our wedding celebration here, it felt like a complete DREAM!!! Thank you, Joe & Stella and the whole GoC crew!!

Elm Roastery 
Rating: 4.4 (102 reviews)
·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • Caterer
  • Serves Far Rockaway, NY

We are a Queens-based community roastery that brings craft hot and iced drinks to the greater NYC area. Started with a mission to build community at our brick and mortar in Elmhurst, we expanded to do mobile so that we can be a part of building community through the connection of coffee throughout New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

We loved having Elm Roastery at our wedding! My husband and I have a long history of fond memories and treasured conversations shared over a coffee, and we are so joyful that Elm was able to bring this to life and help us share this tradition with our loved ones. A highlight I want to note in my review is how professional and kind their barista was. The coffee enthusiasts of our bunch had so much fun asking questions and learning about their workflow and craft coffee process. Our friends and family also really enjoyed trying drinks that they may not have tried otherwise, and had only great things to say about them! Plus, coffeecake3. We also found their offerings to be at a great value. Their communication, attention to detail, and rates make it clear that their heart and passion is in the coffee and connection. They made a custom menu for us and, in addition to standard offerings, had decaf, alternative milks, flavor syrups, chai, teas, and hot cocoa available. There was absolutely something for everyone! The Elm Roastery coffee cart would be a lovely addition to any gathering, but for us personally, it was also a great way to offer something fun and new drink-wise after a late lunch as we did not have alcohol at our celebration. If you are also looking at throwing a sober wedding (or any other kind of wedding), I would highly recommend and consider having the Elm coffee cart! Elm Roastery is a Queens gem and they added such warmth and joy to our day. You should 100% message Peter. Like right now. P.S. you can preview their coffee at their cafe in Elmhurst so you don't have to just take my word for it!

  • Officiant
  • Offers 7 ceremony types
  • Serves Far Rockaway, NY

Most couples who work with me take their relationship seriously, but don't take themselves too seriously. They're educated, do Wordle, read the NY Times and have a healthy sense of reality. Since 2011, I've been writing and performing personal, meaningful and refreshingly engaging ceremonies. Couples work with me in an easy, collaborative way. I take guest experience and your wishes very seriously. I have the ability to command a room, a writer's knack for shaping a story, an emcee's sense of timing, and experience at the most prestigious venues. My BFA in Acting (Boston University) and MFA in Creative Writing (NYU) serve me well.

Awarded Best of Zola
Chris is truly incredible at what he does. From the planning process all the way to the ceremony, he continued to make everything run smoothly. Not a single detail was missed. So many of our guests raved about our ceremony, specifically noting how wonderful our officiant was! I highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for an expert in the industry. He is an excellent speaker and made our ceremony the absolute best experience for us and our guests.

Marilyn Lamanna Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (49 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $8,500
  • Serves Far Rockaway, NY

Hey there! My name is Marilyn. I live in New York City with my sweet partner, and our orange cat Maple. I’m an introverted, soft-hearted mush with an insatiable need to document the beauty in life. Practicing self-portraits in middle school eventually led me to pursue my photography degree from New York University, and I have been joyfully creating photos of wedding days ever since. To me, weddings are a magical display of the human spirit. It’s my biggest honor and joy to create imagery that captures that human magic - especially in a way that breaks the boundaries of historically gendered traditions.

Awarded Best of Zola
Marilyn was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. When we began looking for the right photographer for us, our primary criteria was someone who would photograph our day in a way that looked like art that could blend into the artwork in our house, and that’s exactly how we feel about Marilyn’s work. We are still struggling to pick which images to hang on our walls. Marilyn’s offering of both digital and film was also so fun and unique, and we chose to add folm onto both our engagement shoot and wedding day- totally worth it. Beyond her work being beautiful, she’s also incredibly communicative, quick to answer, and very organized. She always made herself available to us and was the perfect choice for two people who hate being the center of attention. We also did a pre wedding engagement shoot which Marilyn designed and chose the locations for, and it was epic. We love the photos from our engagement and wedding, and would definitely hire Marilyn again if ever we have an occasion for it! In terms of cost, of course that’s all going to depend on your specific budget, but my wife and I felt that Marilyn’s cost for her services was incredibly fair and appropriate, and we definitely would have spent ever more because we were passionate about working with her. When it came to the actual day of the wedding, Marilyn was super flexible and easy going! We absolutely recommend her, especially if you’re having a smaller wedding and love photos that are authentic to the day!

When she’s not photographing weddings, she’s likely holding a dirty chai latte or re-watching The Office.

Awarded Best of Zola
Truly don't know where I begin... Thalia from the beginning was the warmest, most talented individual and we clicked immediately. There is a reason I booked her nearly a year and a half in advance to my wedding! Not only is her work phenomenal, but her style of photography truly made the day so easy and seamless - very cinematic/documentary style. She did our engagement pictures which were beyond breathtaking, and our wedding pictures surpassed our expectations by tenfold. Please do not hesitate to book her, she is BEYOND TALENTED and I received endless compliments on our pictures for weeks after we got them back. She is truly one of a kind and the most easy person to work with. We love her so much and plan to use her in the future for any other life events of ours!!!!

Thank you so much Kenny! Our wedding day was so special, so fun, and we cannot thank you enough. Kenny met with us multiple times to execute our vision. He continuosly reached out to check in on us, and truly matched the excitement for the big day. He even reach out to all the vendors and did a day trip to the venue to understand the layout. On the wedding day, Felix and I were either on the dance floor or fighting to get back on it!! We wanted a fusion of Peruvian, Dominican, and American and he understood the assignment!! He got the vibe right, and not only did we enjoy but our friends and family could not stop talking about amazing Kenny and the music was.

Awarded Best of Zola
We originally looked at more “industrial” venues because we wanted that intimate feel and didn’t love catering hall vibes. We found Renaissance as we live close by and loved it once we toured initially. They have the space of a catering hall but the experience of a single party venue. Food was great and we never felt like we were being uncharged/swindled. Even at one point we saw an error on the agreement and Lisa changed it no problem. She was a delight to work with and never made us feel like our ask was so unbelievable. Bridal suite was big enough for 10 people to get ready. Overall nothing but great things to say about Renaissance.

Sound River Studios was the perfect venue for our May 2024 wedding! We had not initially considered a raw space for our wedding reception. However, after meeting with Una and discussing the seemingly infinite possibilities for the space (along with soaking in the spectacular views of NYC), we were completely sold on the venue. We are so glad we made the choice to celebrate our wedding at Sound River Studios! We took advantage of the dock at the venue and had our guests arrive to cocktail hour by boat which was a unique highlight. The dock is also a beautiful spot for photos! Una was beyond helpful in the planning process and she was always available to answer any questions we had or to brainstorm ideas with us and our vendors. We would highly recommend Sound River Studios to any couple looking to have a memorable NYC wedding!

Dj Sparkx Entertainment was an incredible experience from start to finish. From our initial contact to the post-wedding follow-up, he was consistently professional and attentive. Our wedding took place in December 2024, just a few days after Christmas—a timing that had both its challenges and blessings. Despite the busy holiday season, Dj Sparkx took the time to thoroughly go over all our preferences and ensure everything was perfectly planned for our big day. On the wedding day, he exceeded all our expectations. Our guests are still raving about how engaging he was and how skillfully he played music that resonated with both sides of our family. Dj Sparkx masterfully balanced the Caribbean spice with the classic American hits, making the event enjoyable for everyone. He is versatile and does his research for any cultural background! He also made it a point to ensure that my husband and I had time on the dance floor and enjoyed ourselves. What stood out the most was how collaborative he was throughout the process. He listened to our ideas, shared his expert opinions, and every suggestion he made elevated our wedding to another level. Trusting a vendor with one of the most important days of your life can be daunting, but my advice is simple: trust Dj Sparkx! The photobooth was also a fantastic addition. Dj Sparkx added a special touch by surprising us with a photo album filled with messages from our guests—a keepsake we’ll treasure forever. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to work with Dj Sparkx. He is professional, cost-efficient, and, most importantly, an absolute joy to work with. Highly recommended!

Working with Greta for our February 2025 wedding was a dream come true. From the moment we met with her (and even before we signed a contract with her) she was incredibly supportive and helpful. If you want someone who is going to take care of every detail before you can even think to ask about them, she's your girl. From our first call, my husband and I knew we would be working with her. She has such a calming demeanor but she's also incredibly resourceful and uses her knowledge and abilities to the max. Having no family in the area, I really had to lean on her for a lot more than I thought I might, especially when I was having issues with my wedding dress. She even came with me to pick it up the first time!! Greta has so many connections and really knows her stuff when it comes to weddings. She'll be real with you about what's possible within your budget and she really helped us stay within ours - she has a great system that she provides you access to. I could go on and on about how amazing she is. I'm just sad that our wedding is now over and we won't have a reason to connect! We love you Greta!!!!

Vivian designed, delivered, and installed beautiful greenery installations for our wedding. It was absolutely beautiful, and she even helped us work out floor plans and worked with our budget. She went above and beyond to add little detailed touches throughout the space, too.

We cannot recommend Iaona Stavar moments enough! She is SO good at her craft, and makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera.

Hey there, I’m Cristina! A lifelong lover of nature, I always knew I loved working with my hands. Working with flowers and creating an atmosphere for an event is something I get excited about. I’m obsessed with details and exploring new techniques, methods and combinations. I love exceeding expectations and showing people how fun floral design can be.

From the very first conversation, the team at Pink Jasmine Designs was easy to communicate with, providing clear and accessible updates throughout the planning process. They were proactive in understanding our vision and delivering stunning floral arrangements that exceeded our expectations. The team matched the candles perfectly to our day-of stationery, and truly brought our wedding day vision to life with their high-quality, valuable work. We were thrilled with the final results and would highly recommend Pink Jasmine Designs to any couple planning their special day.

I’m Kinjo, a New York City–based wedding photographer drawn to real moments and subtle emotion. My work blends documentary storytelling with an editorial eye, so your photos feel natural, timeless, and true to you.

Beyond grateful we had Kinjo as our wedding photographer. He really worked to understand our vision and delivered beautiful photos that fully captured the energy of the day! We loved having him as part of the wedding party, because he got along so well with all of our friends and family. It was a great experience and we’d rehire him to capture our next big life moment in a heartbeat.

Olga was fantastic!! She really saved the day after my hair/makeup girl canceled on me for my wedding. I was worried because we didn’t even have time for a trial, but everything was perfect! She did the makeup for my mom and mother-in-law, and they were both very happy. For my hair, it was better than I imagined it could ever be! Olga was able to advise me in what she thought would be the best look for the day. I had no issues with my hair throughout the whole day as well. Everything held very well. For my makeup, it was a very fresh, natural look for the daytime, and I loved how it turned out. Olga was so responsive and very prompt on the day, as well as being very kind and professional. I highly recommend Olga for your wedding and/or special event needs!! Thanks Olga!!
