Being able to look back, remember the great laughs, and reminisce a particular night is what we all look forward to. Our goal is to help everyone remember one of the best nights by telling your story through our eyes. There is no better compliment than for you to show your loved ones what happened through one of the best days of your lives.

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!

I found photography in my teens.  Photography became a hobby quickly and eventually my profession.   Lauren, my second photographer, and I have over 1000 weddings behind us.   I don't know what I would do if I wasn't a photographer.  I think I have developer fluid, or these days, ink in my veins. I am a family man, a parent, and a grandparent.  We have 2 dachshunds.  Ruby and Harley. AND I Love my Job!

Awarded Best of Zola
We met John and Lauren at a wedding expo and didn't even bother looking elsewhere. They have extensive knowledge regarding the use of lighting and creative angles and demonstrate that greatly in their photography. In addition to awesome pictures (for both our engagement and wedding photos), John and Lauren are truly wonderful to work with. My husband and I are not picture people and were very nervous about participating in photoshoots, but they put as at ease immediately and made the whole experience quite enjoyable. I highly recommend South Street to anyone looking to capture their special moments with amazing photos and have a good time while doing it.

Alexa Lynn Photography is an award-winning fine art wedding photographer with a natural, bright and classic style. With a love for coastal venues and golden hour glows, Alexa Lynn Photography is the perfect fit for joyfully in love couples.

I want to share my wonderful experience with Alexa Lynn Photography. My experience started as soon as I booked Alexa as my wedding photographer. Immediately she was super communicative and just made me feel comfortable. Shortly after booking, we scheduled our engagement shoot. We met for the first time and I knew I made the right choice. She is so sweet and her photography speaks for itself. Look at her instagram page or her website and you will find the most amazing photos. Leading up to my wedding I enjoyed seeing all the other weddings and mini sessions she did. Seeing these, I knew she would photograph my wedding beautifully. I also wanted to hire a videographer and content creator and Alexa connected me to two wonderful people for both. Fast forward to wedding day… Alexa arrived early and ready to go. I felt a weight lifted from my shoulders when she arrived because I knew from that point on she would run the show and keep everyone organized. She did just that & with a smile & the most positive vibes ever. Even when the weather didn’t cooperate for some of my day, she made all the shots happen exactly how I dreamed. Her photography style is simply amazing and timeless, I highly recommend her!

The photographs I create tell the full story of your unique wedding day and capture all of the anticipation, laughter, emotion, joy, and excitement which comes along with it.

My style is the perfect balance of photo-journalistic, candid, and posed photography to create beautiful images while still always allowing you to enjoy your wedding to its fullest. I offer a wide variety of packages that tailored to fit your day and always personally am available to discuss everything on your mind no matter how big or small.

Working with William was one of the best decisions I made. He was always super responsive and my wedding photos exceeded my high expectations. What I love about William is how easy going he is. Not all photographers are like this, but he really made my day stress free while still capturing amazing photos. My parents commented on how well he seemed to know who everyone was and focus in on them throughout the day. He made sure to get every single photo on my shot list and I really couldn't be more satisfied with how the photos came out. Book him for your wedding. He is so nice and amazing at what he does.

Hi! I’m Joe Orlando (Jo Flash), owner of Orlando Event Services. I’m a wedding DJ/MC who’s big on two things: making your day feel like YOU and keeping it stress-free. We plan the soundtrack and timeline together—ceremony cues, entrances, toasts, and the party—so everything flows naturally. Expect clean setups, pro sound, and a packed dance floor without the cheesy talk. Serving NY/NJ/PA and happy to travel.

We truly can’t thank Joe enough for making our wedding day exactly what we envisioned—high-energy, perfectly organized, and nonstop fun from start to finish. From our ceremony to cocktail hour, reception, and even the after party, they handled every part of the day flawlessly. I’m very timeline-focused, and they followed our schedule like a dream—smooth transitions, perfect pacing, and not a single moment felt rushed or delayed. They also worked incredibly well with all of our vendors, which made the whole day feel calm and coordinated behind the scenes (even with 300 guests!). The production was next-level. We had a photobooth, nightclub lighting, a photo montage, dancing on a cloud, and sparks—and they executed everything perfectly. The room looked insane, the energy stayed up all night, and the dance floor was packed constantly. The music was on point, the announcements were polished, and they read the crowd so well that every age group was out there having a blast. If you want a team that’s professional, organized, and knows how to throw an unforgettable party, book them. They didn’t just DJ our wedding—they elevated the entire experience.

The Maitre De went missing a lot throughout the day, to the point where my uncle had to find her whenever i needed. They set up & cleaned everything up for us which was lovely. the hotel bar stayed open late (sunday wedding) but you couldn’t make it private. so you had people at the bar trying to add to an open tab. you get a room block, the director of rooms Rebecca is very easy to work with as well. the outdoor ceremony space is gorgeous!!!

Hitched! By Harper is where unforgettable ceremonies meet authentic storytelling. I’m a firefighter-turned-award-winning officiant who crafts one-of-a-kind wedding experiences rooted in joy, meaning, and a touch of humor. Since 2010, I’ve helped couples of all backgrounds feel seen, celebrated, and totally at ease on their big day. Every ceremony is written from scratch to reflect your vibe, your values, and your story—not a template in sight.

My fiancé and I had Kevin officiate our wedding in August of 2025, and it was one of the best wedding decisions we made in the whole process! We were struggling on who we wanted to officiate our non-denominational ceremony, and with one month until our wedding day we found multiple recommendations for Hitched by Harper. The process was so easy, and for not knowing him personally, we had no less than 10 people on our wedding day asking something to the affect of “the officiant was amazing and personable, how did you know each other” and we actually had a friend book him for a wedding shortly after! Kevin was beyond impressive and we would recommend him and his services to anyone! If I could give this more than 5 stars I would.

If you're a bride, you know that things have changed a little bit since the day you got engaged, you started making plans right away and every step it's a roller coaster of emotions that will follow you until your wedding day. Being a bride in the past, I understand the need of being surrounded by professionals that not only provide you with beautiful and organized work but you also treat you as a special person and not just a number.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing a makeup artist is one of the biggest decisions a bride can make, and I am so thankful that I chose Chrystiane for my wedding day. From the very beginning, she was attentive, professional, and genuinely cared about making sure I felt beautiful and comfortable. One thing I especially appreciated was how she checked in with me throughout the entire process to make sure I loved the direction of my makeup. As someone with a darker skin tone, I initially took a leap of faith because her social media portfolio did not feature many clients who looked like me. However, she exceeded every expectation and created a flawless look that made me feel confident and beautiful all day long. She was also wonderful with my bridesmaids and my mother, thoughtfully adapting her techniques to suit different skin types and ages. Her kindness and attention to detail truly stood out. As an added touch, she even provided a thoughtful goodie bag with products used during my service that could no longer be used on other clients. It was such a generous gesture and speaks to the level of care she provides. I cannot recommend Chrystiane enough. She played such an important role in helping me feel my best on one of the most important days of my life. – Larissa Silver

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Jillian for a newborn photoshoot. Before the shoot she consulted with us to ensure that she captured images and moments that matched our preferred style. Jillian was kind, attentive and offered many suggestions on how to pose while allowing us the freedom of a natural shoot. Throughout the session Jillian ensured we were comfortable, even allowing time for our little one to take a break when needed. The photographs that she provided to us are stunning and perfectly capture our growing family. I highly recommend Jillian to anyone looking for a photographer that you can trust with life's most precious moments.

There could not have been a better venue for our wedding reception than The Renaissance! We did a small, intimate destination wedding and then had a big ole wedding reception at this venue. Simply put, Falco’s Catering goes above and beyond. Alissa was who we met with first - so thorough, easy and fun to communicate with, super accommodating, and transparent from start to finish. It was such a warm welcome from our first meeting, so we knew this was our spot and these were the people to work with! The event itself went off without a hitch. The food was top notch!! All of our guests were clearly enjoying it all. We did not have to worry about a thing thanks to Lisa, our Maitre d! We danced the night away! Such an amazing time. Thank you Alissa, Lisa, and all staff at Falco’s Catering for making it a night we will never forget.

Hi! I’m Shauna — but you can call me Shay. I’m the photographer behind Milestone. What started as a side business in 2015 became my full-time dream in 2022, and I thank God daily that I get to serve amazing couples through my work. I met my husband at 15 and we’ve been together ever since, so love stories have always meant a lot to me. As a wife and mom of two adventurous boys, I know how meaningful life’s biggest milestones are. My goal is to give every couple a relaxed, fun experience and a gallery of memories you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

I have used Shauna for everything from engagement to my maternity photos, family shoots and more. From the time you start working with her it’s clear she’s passionate about what she does. She truly cares about her every shot she takes and will gladly make visions come to life and more. She’s worth every penny and more. This is more then just a job for Shauna and her passion, enthusiasm and dedication is clearly displayed through the whole process.
