Working with Anita Craine and A. Marie Events & Design was one of the best decisions we made during our entire wedding planning process. From our first call, Anita was professional, organized, and incredibly attentive to every detail. Her communication was outstanding — we never felt out of the loop. Our destination wedding required coordinating travel for guests, vendor logistics, and multiple events over the weekend, and Anita handled everything flawlessly. On the wedding day, her team was calm, polished, and completely on top of everything. We were able to actually enjoy our day knowing she had everything under control.

Mateja Violin 
Rating: 5.0 (14 reviews)
Fort Lauderdale, FL
  • Ceremony only
  • Starts at $275

Mateja Violin is a wedding musician based in Pompano Beach, Florida. She performs acoustic violin only. Mateja is a graduate of the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami, where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in violin performance. She also has a Master’s degree in violin performance from Florida International University. She has and continues to perform with many different orchestras, including the Symphony of the Americas, the South Florida Symphony, and Orchestra Delray. She has played at two concerts with The Who as well. This professional delights in providing elegant music to your special day, helping to elevate the occasion.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Mateja to play violin at our wedding ceremony, and she was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Her communication was prompt and professional, and she offered a wide selection of songs to choose from, which made it easy to curate a meaningful playlist for our day. She arrived early, was fully prepared, and followed all our cues perfectly throughout the ceremony. The acoustic violin created a beautiful atmosphere, especially during the quiet moments of the processional. However, due to the open-air nature of our courtyard venue, some of the music—particularly during the recessional—was harder to hear until we walked closer to her. This is something to keep in mind depending on your venue's layout. That said, Mateja’s performance was elegant and heartfelt, and her professionalism truly stood out. We'd absolutely recommend her to any couple looking to add a romantic, live music touch to their ceremony.

We had a two-day Indian wedding weekend with four events: Sangeet, Haldi, ceremony, and reception, and honestly, we don’t know how we would have done it without Annie and Oscar. They kept everything moving on time without it ever feeling rushed, which if you know how Indian weddings go, is truly an art form. Every event flowed into the next and we never once had to worry about what was happening behind the scenes. What really got us though was how much they genuinely cared. They checked in on us personally throughout the whole weekend, not just logistically, but as people. And our family noticed too. Everyone felt looked after, which meant the world to us. You could tell they understood the cultural weight of each moment and treated it with real respect. Annie and Oscar didn’t just coordinate our wedding, they made sure we actually got to enjoy it.

Hi! We offer both full service and a la carte wedding flowers, as well as wedding flower rentals for arches and centerpieces. To get started, our website has a link to a form to fill out your general information and select the items you're interested in. Once you fill out the form, we will send you a pricing guide.

Working with Black Diamond Weddings was such a smooth process from start to finish. The owner communicated with us through texts and email which made everything easy and straightforward. Even though I only brought two inspiration photos, she totally got the vision I was going for and created something beautiful. The flowers were stunning and the prices were way better than the other quotes we got. We also rented their arch and saved so much money compared to other places. I'd definitely recommend Black Diamond Weddings to anyone looking for gorgeous florals without breaking the bank.

Nicole is such a gem! I was calling her my wedding doula all day. I didn’t even explain very clearly how I wanted my hair and makeup, but she intuitively knew exactly what to do and both turned out more perfect than I ever could have imagined. Beyond her incredible talent with hair and makeup, Nicole’s grounded presence and knowledge of meditation helped keep me calm and centered on one of the most important days of my life. She’s not only a gifted artist but also a beautiful human inside and out. Anyone would be so lucky to have her as their hair and makeup artist. I truly couldn’t imagine having anyone else by my side that day. She is the best!

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000

Oh... hello. You made it. That's nice. This won't take long, if you poke around a bit you'll probably find what you're looking for. There are some photos, some words... and hopefully they help you decide if I'm the right person to document your wedding. I like to photograph moments that happen naturally, without too much fuss. If you're into that-if you're ok with a little wind in your hair, or a cake that leans slightly to the left-then maybe we'd get along just fine.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we met Erika and Loy for our engagement shoot, we knew we had found something special. They made two self-proclaimed awkward people feel totally at ease in front of the camera. It didn’t feel like posing—it felt like laughing, dancing, and being fully ourselves, all while they worked their magic. The photos captured not just how we looked, but who we are. We walked away from that session with more than beautiful images—we walked away with memories. Fast forward to our wedding day, and they absolutely blew us away. Our friends and family keep raving about the photos: “absolutely stunning,” “so artsy,” “journalistic,” “soulful,” and “hilarious and beautiful at the same time.” The photos brought the emotion of the day flooding back—joy, intimacy, hilarity, and everything in between. Every little detail, every fleeting look, every big, beautiful moment—it’s all there. They somehow captured the energy of the day, not just the visuals. We’ve gone through the gallery more times than we can count, and each time we see something new to love. From my dad’s emotional first look to the spontaneous dance floor chaos to those quiet moments between us in Adirondack chairs—it’s all so genuine and full of heart. Working with Erika and Loy wasn’t just hiring photographers—it was inviting two incredibly talented, kind, and charismatic humans into some of the most important moments of our lives. We can’t imagine having had anyone else there with us. If you’re considering them—do it. Truly, 10 out of 10.

Awarded Best of Zola
We worked with Keith to plan our February wedding at The Palms in Miami, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better partner. He made the whole process feel easy and fun, and he really understood us from the start. He came up with ideas that were so perfectly “us” — like the Bravo-style confessional video booth and the coconuts with our names on them. Those ended up being some of the biggest hits of the night. Since we were planning everything from across the country, having someone we could fully trust meant everything. He handled all the vendor negotiations, and every single vendor he brought in was reliable, on time, and clearly loved working with him. On the actual day, Keith was unbelievably organized. Everything ran smoothly, the flowers were beautiful, and we never had a moment of stress. We’re so grateful we got to work with him.

It was a pleasure working with Neph. Not only did she help set the tone for our wedding day, but she helped set the tone for the beginning of our marriage. She worked with us to learn about what we wanted from the ceremony and took that information to officiate what was a beautiful and moving ceremony. We wanted an officiant who could seamlessly integrate both Haitian Creole and English in the ceremony, and Neph did that flawlessly.

So here’s the thing, we’re not just here to take pretty pictures. We’re here to document the way it felt. The big stuff, the little stuff, the blink and you miss it kind of stuff. Based in sunny (and sometimes very rainy) South Florida, but always chasing stories wherever they take us. We don’t do stiff poses or fake smiles. We don’t yell “say cheese.” We watch. We wait. We get the shot while you’re living the moment. Our style is a little moody, a little wild, and deeply human, like love itself. If you’re into that, we’re probably into you too.

From the moment we met Erika and Loy for our engagement shoot, we knew we had found something special. They made two self-proclaimed awkward people feel totally at ease in front of the camera. It didn’t feel like posing—it felt like laughing, dancing, and being fully ourselves, all while they worked their magic. The photos captured not just how we looked, but who we are.

His staff and collaborating DJs are all highly qualified, and many of them are also musicians and vocalists. For backup and reliability reasons, events are staffed with two people, and our sound and lighting systems are doubly redundant.

Awarded Best of Zola
We got married on March 9th and Dr. Dan Paulish and his assistant were an incredible addition to the team of vendors we’d put together. More than anyone else, D.J. Paulish kept in constant communication with us in the months leading up to the wedding. It was very easy to make adjustments to the schedule and setlist. He was ready with suggestions and tips for aspects of the music and the schedule that we weren’t sure about. Our wedding would have undoubtedly been more disorganized and everything would have likely gotten off schedule if not for the advice and flexibility of D.J. Paulish. Especially if you don’t have a formal wedding planner, we recommend an experienced D.J. like Dan – he simultaneously went with the flow and kept everything on track. And despite some of the chaos going on “behind the scenes” with other aspects of the wedding, this D.J. kept the party going and made sure that all of that chaos stayed behind the scenes and that all of the guests continued to have a good time. There was always a crowd dancing on the dance floor and there was always another great song lined up to keep the party going. We highly recommend anyone looking for a D.J. to go with D.J. Paulish!

We hired Event Bliss for our March wedding at the Bonnet House for month of planning and florals. Emily and her team did an amazing job and made our dream wedding a reality. Emily was a complete professional and it gave us comfort knowing she had worked with basically all our vendors for years. I think that made a big difference in terms of how smoothly things ran on our wedding day. The florals perfectly met our vision so much so it was overwhelming when I saw my bouquet on the day of. I am getting it preserved into a serving tray so I can enjoy for years to come. The rest of the florals were gorgeous and we got so many comments from our guests. We didn't have to worry about a thing on the day of our wedding as Emily and her team had it covered from start to finish. It was amazing how she moved like a ninja with how she coordinated with all vendors seamlessly both ahead of time and day of.

We hired Mike Berrios Soflo Productions for my niece’s wedding in July 2024, and I can’t say enough good things about him. This wasn’t just any wedding , it was a very emotional and special day, as my niece’s husband was preparing to leave for the Army later that year. Mike went above and beyond to make the day unforgettable. He was absolutely amazing not only was he professional and organized, but he was also so friendly and warm with everyone, from the youngest kids to the older guests. He kept the energy just right throughout the night, playing music that got everyone dancing and creating a joyful atmosphere that we’ll always remember. We’re so grateful for his part in making the day so special, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for any event. Thank you, Mike, for helping us celebrate such an important day!

As a professional Latin and Ballroom dancer, I love helping couples create a first dance that feels personal and unforgettable. For me, it is never just about the steps but about the connection, laughter, and little moments you share while learning. I know wedding planning can feel overwhelming, so I make lessons fun, easy, and stress-free. Whether you imagine something classic and romantic, playful and upbeat, or uniquely your own, I will guide you in a way that feels natural. The best part is seeing your faces light up when it all comes together. 💜

We had an incredible experience working with Uttara at Dancing with Panache! She brought such great energy to every session and was extremely helpful in creating a truly show stopping first dance for our wedding. Uttara has a wonderful way of making dance approachable and comfortable, no matter how much or how little experience you have. She made the entire process fun, stress-free, and gave us the confidence to shine on our big day. We couldn’t have asked for a better teacher and highly recommend her to anyone looking to make their first dance unforgettable!
