Marilyn Lamanna Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • 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.

Marilyn made the entire experience of finding a photographer for our special day seamless. She was responsive and flexible, and her pricing tiers allowed us to work within our budget. Day of, she was amazing. She made my husband and me feel super comfortable and at ease. The portraits of us are outstanding! She got amazing candids at our reception and blended in with the other guests, making it easy to capture off-the-cuff photos. 10/10, recommend for your wedding, engagement photos, etc!

Illuminating Ceremonies 

5.0

  • Officiant
  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $800
  • Serves Far Rockaway, NY

I am your guests' favorite thing about your wedding. Since 2011, I've been writing and performing personal, meaningful and refreshingly engaging ceremonies for couples just like you and couples who are nothing like you. Couples work with me with an easy, collaborative process during which I become your favorite part of wedding planning. I take guest experience and your wishes very seriously. Your families will thank you for getting somebody who makes the ceremony light while still making clear how beautiful it is that you found each other. I officiate all over the US.

We truly can’t say enough good things about Chris Shelley. He made our ceremony unforgettable—genuine, heartfelt, and so uniquely us. From the very beginning, Chris took the time to get to know us, and it showed in every word he spoke. The stories he told captured our relationship perfectly, striking the perfect balance of sincerity and humor. He had our guests both laughing and tearing up at the same time. So many people came up to us after the ceremony—not just to say how much they loved it, but to ask for Chris’s contact info to pass along to their family and friends. While many ceremonies can feel long or impersonal, Chris created an environment that truly brought everyone together in an engaging and meaningful way.

When I came across Rebecca's website and portfolio I was immediately smitten. Her style was so beautiful and unique, and exactly what I was hoping to find for our wedding. One quick call with her and I knew she was our photographer. She was so warm and welcoming and we felt completely ourselves around her. We had FUN spending time with her for both our engagement and wedding photos. Aside from her amazing skills - she went ABOVE AND BEYOND to coordinate our engagement photos with us when we were living in California. She was the easiest choice we made and we love every photo she took for us. Cannot recommend her highly enough! - Chelsean Nick

Thalia is truly a dream - to work with, to communicate with & to be with. Her work speaks for itself - I’ve never seen someone capture events the way she does. It’s like reliving the day. She is simultaneously incredibly helpful and present and yet you barely notice she’s there until you review the photos and are like wow she even got that small moment! As someone who has never loved posed photos / being in wedding photos I have to say Thalia completely changed my tune. She is truly a joy to work with an artist beyond comprehension. I cannot wait for another excuse to hire her again.

Awarded Best of Zola
Let me start by saying my wedding was a tall order! I wanted a wedding that was gothic, elegant, Victorian-inspired, dark, and moody. We were going for gothic without it being “scare grandma” gothic! And to make it a step harder, our wedding was in a very modern looking building in Manhattan. And to make it even one step harder, my husband and I are based in Ireland. Lauren completely understood my vision and designed the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen. We had so many friends and family approach us about how beautiful the decor was, and even multiple members of staff and various vendors saying they have never seen the venue look so amazing. Her attention to detail is beyond phenomenal and everything is done with such thoughtfulness and due diligence. Lauren was so organised throughout the entire wedding planning process. She helped us look for the best vendors, she went to view different tablecloth landscapes and furniture when we couldn’t (again, we live abroad!) and kept me up to date every step of the way without bombarding us so we could continue to regulate life outside of wedding planning. I have recommended Lauren multiple times to newly engaged friends, and will continue to recommend City and Terrace in the future! You truly cannot get a better wedding planner who listens to the couples’ wants and needs, understands, and most importantly keeps you calm and organised through the chaotic planning process! Her attention to detail is phenomenal. I highly recommend.

Vivian is absolutely amazing - I had so many scattered ideas, but Vivian was able to expertly bring all my thoughts to life. From the first call I knew Vivian would do everything to absolute perfection. I’ve seen her work, especially with hanging greenery and immediately knew I needed her for my wedding. I wanted hanging drapes which Vivian kindly and transparently explained she hadn’t done before, but just speaking to her, I knew she would be able to get it done - AND SHE HAD IT DONE BEAUTIFULLY. The guests could not stop telling us about how beautiful the florals were, and the sweetheart table is absolutely gorgeous. The way Vivian is able to imagine and transform the space is so special. I provided her with some photos of what I was looking for and she created this amazing mock-up to help me picture what the space would look like. She’s so helpful in terms of working with your budget, and undoubtedly made me feel so comfortable being able to bounce ideas back and forth. I also really appreciate the way she was able to repurpose items and bouquets from the ceremony. The wedding looked so romantic and dreamy, I don’t think I’ll be able to stop thinking about the florals for awhile. Vivian is just such a joy to work with and you can tell how much she loves what she does. I can’t recommend Vivian and her team enough!

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!!!!

My wedding was this past weekend, and I still want to shout Amanda's praises from every rooftop! Hire her now! We had a complex wedding design: a full three-night, four-day weekend with several different spaces and layouts involved, and different guest lists for each day. Amanda handled everything masterfully. Every detail was exactly as we imagined (and more!), and she was a true joy to work with. My mother and I have different working styles and visions, and somehow Amanda found a way to meet both of our needs at each turn and help us avoid any conflict with one another. Amanda is highly detail-oriented and has a way of handling so many things "behind the scenes" and well in advance of the wedding - including crafting much of the decor and guest gifts weeks in advance, then personally transporting them to the wedding. It was efforts like this that really set her apart from other planners -- measurably reducing our stress each moment and taking things off our very full plates. We will genuinely miss speaking and working with Amanda. Our only regret was not hiring her sooner - she joined us after we had personally booked our venue and a handful of vendors, but having her with us earlier would have only enhanced our planning process.

Photography is such an important part of your wedding day, and you want to make sure you pick someone great. That person is Manai!! You won’t be disappointed! Manai is such a professional and talented photographer. All my photos look like they belong in a magazine. They all came out so well.

The experience I had at Renaissance was truly unforgettable. Lisa and Maritza went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect for my event. Their responsiveness, helpfulness, and engaging personalities added to the overall positive experience. The hall itself is stunning and I regret not having better pictures to capture its beauty. We were able to utilize both the outside for our wedding ceremony and the inside for our reception, creating a seamless and enjoyable experience for our family and friends. My husband and I, decided to do buffet style for the dinner. The food served at the buffet was absolutely amazing. We also chose the premium open bar, the bartenders did an amazing job with the drinks. My husband and I wedded on July 26,2024, and to this day our family and friends still talk about how much fun they had and how delicious the food and drinks were. If you're considering hosting an event, I highly recommend choosing Renaissance as your venue. Trust me, you won't regret it! #TheWillis's

Meet Marija, the beauty expert at Serenity Bridal NYC. With years of experience in the bridal industry and features in Elle and Brides, she brings unmatched artistry to every bride. From soft glam to full glam looks, and any hairstyle you can imagine, Marija is dedicated to making every bride’s dream look a reality.

Working with Marija for my wedding planning, décor, and makeup was one of the best decisions I made for my entire wedding. From the very beginning, she made the process so easy and enjoyable. She was friendly, professional, and extremely organized, and from our first meeting I could tell she genuinely cared about bringing my vision to life. My total budget was 5,000, which I knew wasn’t a huge amount for a wedding. I’d spoken with a few planners before who made me feel like it wasn’t possible to do much with that, so I was prepared to have to compromise on a lot of things. But from the first moment I spoke with Marija, she made me feel completely at ease. She never once made me feel limited by my budget — instead, she got creative, worked around what I could afford, and found ways to make everything look far more luxurious than I thought possible. Communication with her was excellent from start to finish. She was always quick to respond, open to my ideas, and proactive with updates. I always knew exactly where things stood, which made me feel so much less stressed. She gave me suggestions I hadn’t even thought of and really listened when I shared what kind of style and atmosphere I wanted for the day. When the wedding day arrived, I was completely blown away by how everything looked. The décor was absolutely stunning — elegant, warm, and full of personal touches that reflected me and my partner perfectly. The flowers, the table settings, the lighting — everything came together so beautifully. It genuinely looked like a high-end event, and so many of our guests commented on how gorgeous the setup was. Marija also did my bridal makeup, and I can’t even begin to explain how happy I was with it. She made me look and feel like the best version of myself. The makeup was flawless and natural, lasted all day and night, and looked amazing in photos. She took her time to make sure I was completely happy before we started the day, and her calm, positive attitude made the morning so relaxed and enjoyable. Throughout the entire day, Marija was there making sure everything ran smoothly. She managed the timing perfectly, kept everything on schedule, and handled all the little details so that I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Because of her, I was able to just enjoy my wedding and take it all in — something I’m so grateful for. I honestly received far more than I expected for my budget. The quality, care, and creativity Marija put into everything were exceptional. It’s clear she truly loves what she does, and that passion shows in every detail. If you’re planning a wedding — no matter your budget — I cannot recommend Marija enough. She went above and beyond to make my dream wedding a reality, and I’ll always be thankful for everything she did.

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.

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.

I know that you're looking for more than just beautiful wedding photos which is why my work with you doesn't start (or end) there. You deserve an expert- somebody who can give you the best advice & industry secrets. I know the ins & outs of weddings because I live them every weekend & know the very real stress that comes with planning a wedding. Hiring me means being able to rest + relax knowing that everything is taken care of; somebody anticipating your needs before you even know them. I'm your hype girl, confidant, & the one to open the dance floor.

Where can we even start with Kara…. We are obsessed. We first booked her for our engagement photoshoot, and the moment we returned home from our shoot, we reached out to her and booked her for our wedding because we couldn’t imagine our day with anyone else. Throughout our entire wedding experience, Kara made us feel so comfortable and natural. She goes above and beyond to get to know you as a more than just clients, and really treats you like friends that she deeply cares about. By the time our wedding, we were so excited to have Kara around as our trusted photographer AND friend. Her work is truly stunning, and all of our photos from both engagement and the wedding are more gorgeous than we could have ever dreamed of! Booking Kara will be the easier vendor choice you make for your wedding, and we would choose her a million times over if we could (and we will, because she better be ready for us to call on her for photos for the rest of our lives!!).

From the moment Tanaya walked into my apartment for my makeup trial, I knew that not only would she be a stellar makeup artist but also a friend. Tanaya is so warm and made me comfortable immediately. She totally understood the glamorous old Hollywood look I was going for and executed it to perfection. A concern I had was how an artist would handle a bridal party with various skin tones. I did not need to worry about that at all. With the combined skills of Tanaya and her lovely assistant Whitney, my mother, mother-in-law, 3 bridesmaids and myself looked absolutely stunning on the Wedding Day! Our makeup lasted from the salon till the last dance and I can honestly say I could not have felt more beautiful. Do not hesitate to have Tanaya be part of your wedding team!
