Kate and her fellow musician were wonderful from start to finish. She was communicative, easy to work with, and provided us with a beautiful cello/violin duo for our wedding ceremony. The selection of music was extensive, and she even allowed us to pick a song of our choice, which she arranged and played for our special day. She was in touch with our officiant, photographer, and wedding coordinator ahead of time, so we didn't have to worry about logistics, and she was on-time and just completely lovely the day-of. We didn't stress at all and were so appreciative of her excellent work. Highly recommend O'Brien Strings!

Maya Moves was created for the couples who don't want to look like they've taken months of classes, but also don't want to just sway in place the entire time. The 1 hour lesson starts by reviewing details about your wedding. The recommended length for the dance is short, 1:30-2m. Then, you will learn how to stand comfortably together & 3-4 signature moves (typically a dip, and other moves that fit the vibe of your song). You won't learn traditional moves, like the box step or the waltz, but rather easy moves that beginner dancers can look good doing. Maya Moves offers private wedding lessons, both in NYC and over Zoom.

Maya Moves provided incredible communication and amazing, high-quality dance instruction for our wedding. Maya made sure we nailed down specific moves so that we were able to ace our wedding dance. She made our dance so easy to learn without making us overwhelmed - one lesson was all we needed! Maya's great dance skills and patient teaching style made our first dance a huge hit with our guests. We couldn't have been happier with the service and value provided by Maya Moves.

Hi! I'm Nina. I'm a film photographer based in New England, available locally and worldwide for capturing weddings on 35mm film. A longtime Brooklynite now living in rural Connecticut, I traded city life for a slower rhythm—one that deeply shapes how I see and photograph couples.

On your wedding day, you focus on being present, and I’ll focus on capturing you in all your subtle glory. I work with couples who share my deep love for nuance, timelessness, and an artistic, craft process.

Nina has the ability to capture the moments that you forget transpired, in the most beautiful and artistic way. She seamlessly folded into the event of our wedding, preserving not the poses, but the emotions and SPIRIT of the day. She is a true artist behind the camera. Thank you, Nina!

I create a relaxed, intimate environment where you and your loved ones can be completely yourselves. Your wedding is a one-of-a-kind celebration of love, filled with joy, emotion, and connection. Wherever love takes you, I'm here to document every happy, romantic, emotional, and quirky moment that makes your love story uniquely yours.

Angelica captured our special day absolutely perfectly. We had hired her for our wedding that was supposed to happen in 2020 but had to be rescheduled for 3 years later due to the pandemic and through that entire time she stuck with us! She was communicative and responsive, and her shots were absolutely gorgeous. She managed to capture every single important moment of our celebration and the way she guides and corrals everyone into taking pictures that look good is nothing short of a miracle (trust me, I feel so awkward in front of the camera and I look incredible in all of my wedding shots.) If you need a photographer for your wedding, Angelica is 100% your girl.

I am a NY-based Harpist with over 18 years of experience. I have been fortunate enough to play for dozens of professional events and weddings along the East Coast. I have performed at many different events, from weddings to corporate Holiday parties to tea parties to retirement parties. Some of the locations I have been lucky to perform include the Marriott Marquis in Times Square and The Willard Intercontinental in Washington D.C. Most recently I was selected to be a featured musician on an episode of the Drew Barrymore show!

We cannot speak highly enough of Terrease, her skill, and her professionalism! My partner and I had not known we wanted live music for our wedding ceremony until we saw a video of her performing. Terrease was an incredible addition to our wedding ceremony. Her musicianship was astounding, and she was a delight to work with---organized and communicative and generous. When we had to move our wedding ceremony indoors last-minute, Terrease went above and beyond to make it work, and was extremely flexible and patient. We could not be more grateful for her willingness to be a part of our event and encourage anyone to work with her. She is an absolute delight and incredibly talented!

I put relationships first, photos second. I want to know your love story, so I can capture your true essence. I'm not just here for the photos, I'm here to make your life easier, however I can! When you see me and my camera, I want you to breathe a sigh of relief, not tense up at the sound of the shutter. That's why I'll help you figure out ALL of the details of your session from start to finish. Fun facts about me: - I am a former elementary teacher, I love kids! - Ridgefield, CT will forever be my hometown. - I live with my husband and our pup on the UWS.

We hired Joliette to do our engagement shoot and our civil wedding, and the photos were simply amazing! Joliette made both occasion shoots such an incredible and special experience! Neither my husband or I had ever done a photoshoot before our engagement shoot, and we were worried about the photos not looking organic, but Joliette went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and truly ourselves in order to capture our love and personalities in all the photos! We also got the chance to view the gallery for the first time live with Joliette which was so fun and special, as she was able to see our first reactions and joy in the magic she created for us. The photos came out so amazing, and beyond our expectations, she did such an amazing job, and I can't say enough good things! If you're looking for a photographer for an engagement, wedding, or really any type of photoshoot I HIGHLY recommend Joliette!!

Hi! I’m Ashley Marinelli, a professional dancer who originally started making films after performing in movies and music videos. My father always encouraged me to pursue my passion for film, and when he passed in 2014, I started Marinelli Moving Pictures, a video production company with his name (and mine) on the masthead. A decade later, what started as a side jobs between dance gigs has turned into a full fledged business. Turns out I'm even happier behind the camera than in front of it!

Ashley did an amazing job on my son's 8th grade graduation video. She used multiple cameras which gave fantastic vantage points. The video was artistic with music, images, and behind the scenes footage. In addition to the feature film, she provided a highlight video. She's extremely professional, responsive, and very easy to work with. I will definitely hire her again and highly recommend her.

Awarded Best of Zola
Nina is not what you'd expect of a wedding planner - she is so much more. Besides the fact that she has impeccable taste, an easygoing hat about her, expert knowledge and tons of vendor relations, she made me feel from the first day of hiring her through the moments when the wedding was over and I was sharing photos, that everything would be perfect. Like a coach, she put a few of my expectations, all of my anxiety and some of my to-do list in check, but did so with such professionalism and calmness, that I feel in hindsight her fee was more than worth it. I was apprehensive about paying a planner for something I truly believed I could do. Later than I'd like to admit, I became overwhelmed and seriously behind as the actual day neared. I was referred to Nina by my fiancé's friend [note that my fiancé was so over me planning the wedding me on my own]. I had fun on my day, I was relaxed and look like I was truly enjoying our day in ALL the photos. Adding that Nina also flew in a DJ from Miami who I was and am a fan of. I thought it would be a gazillion dollars, but it was just a little bit more than the local DJs. Her industry experience def gives her an edge and made us look super cool.

We are thrilled with the value and quality of her work, and would highly recommend Life in Pictures by Laura to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

I can't say enough good things about AllStar Weddings, particularly DJ Craig. DJ Craig was a pleasure to work with. He spent over an hour with us on the phone before the wedding going over every little detail, answering all of our questions, and giving us great recommendations for song choices and the flow of the reception. On the day of the wedding, he kept everybody on the dance floor and did a great job as MC. I couldn't recommend this company and DJ Craig more!
