Forked River, NJ
  • Florist
  • Starts at $1,500

Hi, I’m Kristine—and I’m a total flower addict. It all started in 2004 when I walked into a local flower shop hoping to land a receptionist job… and somehow never left. Fast forward 20 years, and I’m still head over heels for blooms. With a background in fine art and graphic design, I see flowers as nature’s artwork—and my favorite way to get creative. I love dreaming up floral designs that are just as unique (and fabulous) as the people I make them for.

“Working with Addiction Floral was such a joy from start to finish. Kristine was honest and upfront about everything, always available when we had questions, and made the whole process feel easy. The florals turned out absolutely stunning & exactly what I had pictured and I'm still getting compliments weeks later. Kristine is not just a talented florist but also a wonderful person to work with, and I've already recommended her to a few brides in NJ who are planning their weddings. If you're looking for gorgeous flowers and someone who genuinely cares about making your day special, Addiction Floral is the way to go.”

Hi there! Gianella and Andrew here! We're the owners of SnowChi Peruvian Cuisine. We’re a food trailer based out of Ocean County, NJ. Two food loving gamers came together as one in 2014 and now we own a business together serving Peruvian food from our cozy trailer for you to enjoy! The name came to us after our late pets passed away four days apart from each other back in June of 2021. We had a bunny named Snowball and a sugar glider named Chi. We combined the name and violà! Together and with the strength of God, we managed to pull through the challenges that life has thrown at us. We look forward to working with you on your special day!

“We had the pleasure of having SnoChi Peruvian Cuisine cater our wedding, and they exceeded every expectation! From the very beginning, they were wonderful to work with—responsive, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making our day special. The food was absolutely incredible. Our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was! Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared. It was clear that a great deal of care and passion went into every aspect of the meal. Not only was the food outstanding, but the entire SnoChi team was professional, friendly, and easy to work with throughout the planning process and on the day of our wedding. We are so grateful to SnoChi Peruvian Cuisine for helping make our wedding day unforgettable. We highly recommend them for weddings, special events, or any occasion where you want amazing food and exceptional service!”

From our first conversation, the team responded to every question and concern right away, and they truly understood what we wanted for our big day. They created the most stunning centerpieces that sat on each table, and candles were placed throughout the venue to set the perfect mood. When we walked into our reception, the combination of florals and candlelight made everything feel absolutely magical and romantic. The quality of their work was exceptional, and we felt like we got incredible value for what they delivered. We can't recommend The Floral Eden highly enough to any couple planning their wedding.”

Every ceremony is written from scratch to reflect your vibe, your values, and your story—not a template in sight.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our wedding! Kevin was the first officiant we met with, and we knew right away that he was the right choice. He did such an amazing job making our ceremony feel incredibly personal and meaningful. So many of our guests told us afterward that it was one of the best wedding ceremonies they had ever attended. We even had multiple people ask us how we knew him because the ceremony felt so personal that they assumed he must have known us for years! He made everything feel completely unique to us and told our story in such a natural, genuine way. It was heartfelt, personal, and still had the perfect amount of humor. We’re so grateful for how special he made our ceremony and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant!”

“This is what dreams are made of. When I was a little girl, I had big dreams about what my future wedding would look like. As I got older and realized how much everything costs, I started to think my dream wedding would stay just that—a dream. But one thing never changed: I always wanted to get married in a little white chapel and walk down the aisle to the sound of a violin. Petya made that dream come true. From the moment I first reached out to her, we instantly connected. I knew, without a doubt, that no matter where we ended up getting married, she had to be a part of it. I’d listen to her music on YouTube and just melt. She’s cheerful yet calming, incredibly talented, and truly helped put me at ease throughout the process. The morning of my wedding was stressful, but Petya texted me with encouragement, lifting my spirits and getting me excited for the day ahead. Guests even told me how beautiful the atmosphere was as they waited for my arrival—all because of the ambiance she created through her music. As the church doors opened and I saw my soon-to-be husband standing at the altar, the sound of Petya’s violin made it feel like I was walking into a dream. I couldn’t see anyone else—it was as if her melody was wrapping around just the two of us. It might sound dramatic, but we had a very Christian ceremony, and we asked her to play worship music. It made the moment feel sacred, like God’s presence was truly among us. At the end of the ceremony, I ran up to her and couldn’t help but gush about how incredible she was. She gave us our fairytale moment.”

“My husband and I cannot recommend Victor enough! From the moment we met him, he felt more like a friend than a vendor. On our wedding day, Victor made us and all of our guests feel completely comfortable. He had everyone laughing, which created such a fun and relaxed atmosphere. His energy was truly amazing. Victor also was always readily available to chat whenever we had questions or needed guidance. He made us feel supported every step of our journey. Victor really went above and beyond in every way — including surprising us with our wedding gallery as a Christmas gift, which completely blew us away and meant so much to us. His photos are absolutely stunning: crystal clear, beautifully captured, and full of genuine emotion. Every single person who has seen our photos is beyond impressed. If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only insanely talented but also kind, thoughtful, and a joy to be around, Victor is hands down the best. We are so grateful we chose him and will cherish these photos forever!”

“Working with Ulana at Flower Barn at Locust Pointe was an absolute dream. She had this amazing ability to take the examples we showed her and transform them into arrangements that exceeded what we'd even imagined possible. Communication was quick and easy throughout the whole process, which made planning stress-free and enjoyable. Ulana left no stone unturned in making sure every detail was perfect for our big day. She's not just talented but also a genuine joy to work with, and her passion for her craft really shines through in the final product. We couldn't have asked for better flowers or a better person to work with—highly recommend Flower Barn at Locust Pointe to any couple looking for a florist who truly cares. I didn’t get all my professional photos back, so my photos are from an iPhone but she did the most incredible job.”

Hello! My name is Ashley and I am a licensed hair & makeup artist located in central Nj. I’ve been doing wedding/event glam for 12 years. I have a cosmetology license and four makeup certifications.

“I utilized Borello Beauty for my wedding day back in April & it was the greatest experience! Ashley was communicative, down-to-earth, considerate, professional, and listened to my vision of enhancing and highlighting my features while still making me look and feel like myself for hair and makeup. Both services lasted me the entire night & my hair even held up the next day for the send-off breakfast.”
