On top of all of that, she took the most precious BTS pictures and videos of my first look with my dad! Such an amazing vendor, you won’t regret booking with her!

Tammy delivered hands down! She understood the assignment and everyone had a blast. The dj is one of the most important people at this type of an event and she took the time to listen to what we wanted and made it happen. Having access to her Dj app made the process very seamless. I had two consultation calls with her. We decided to go with the photo booth, which was such a lovely added piece to our day and I’m so glad that we did! There was even an attendant at the booth! It can be a little difficult to get in contact with her, but just know that she has it all figured out so be patient and she will get the job done! Thanks again Tammy we are forever grateful!

We feel so lucky to have had our most special day documented in real time with our loved ones voices, moments, and real time emotion to cherish for years to come. They use such high quality, too. Their audio and lens are incredible. Their actual cameras aren’t very big either, so they just feel like another photographer in the best way! They were truly the best. 10/10 we would recommend them over and over again! They are amazing people all around!

My husband and I cannot say enough about the Park Savoy - the venue and the staff are absolutely incredible. Not only are the grounds stunning, not to mention you have the entire venue to yourself for the duration of your event, but the staff constantly tends to the bride and groom’s every need AS WELL as ensuring all guests are taken care of. The food is amazing and there is so much of it between cocktail hour, dinner, and dessert. It is no exaggeration to say that there is something for everyone - No one will be leaving with empty bellies! There are also so many options for those who have dietary restrictions. We got nothing but rave reviews. The staff ensures that everything goes to plan, you absolutely do not need a wedding coordinator if you get married here. As the bride at the Park Savoy, I can say I actually felt like royalty or the first lady on wedding day, but they also take care of you during the entire planning process to keep you organized. Not only do the staff provide top notch service, but they’re all so kind, you walk out of there feeling like friends. The Park Savoy runs a very well-oiled machine, and we cannot recommend this venue enough. I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t want to get married at this beautiful estate.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you want pictures of your wedding, tell your guests to whip their phones out and take pictures. If you want professional photographs of your wedding, there are dozens of people with fancy equipment you could hire. If you want someone who is going to guide you through the real ins-and-outs of the wedding process, someone to warn of you of the potential pitfalls and make suggestions that will bring your day to life, and someone to help you craft a seamless timeline all while making you feel seen, heard, and calm during your special day, hire Melissa. The photographs of our engagement session and our wedding speak for themselves. They’re stunning, and we look forward to looking at them every day of our lives. What you are getting with Melissa goes well beyond someone to take photos. In our first consultation, she put it perfectly: she has been to far more weddings than you ever will. She is an expert, she knows what to expect, and she knows how to keep things moving. She really felt like a second event coordinator, and one who’s primary focus was our well-being. There was a moment during the wedding when things were getting a bit chaotic, and Melissa swooped in and brought us outside, not just to get some beautiful sunset photos but more so to give us a chance to catch our breath and be in a quiet space with each other. This would have been impressive enough on its own, but considering the fact that Melissa warned us that something like this may happen and that she would trust her instincts to know when we needed something we ourselves didn’t even know we needed demonstrates the level of care and professionalism you’ll receive when you hire Blooming Faith. Melissa and her shooting partner were a joy to work with, and we plan on working with Blooming Faith for many of our future milestones.

  • Starts at $2,350

When my friends started to get married, the requests to DJ their weddings began pouring in. It made sense, they wanted to party, and I had helped them do it weekend after weekend all over NYC. It only took one wedding for me to realize that they needed a lot more help than what I did in the clubs. These days, I and my team help plan & entertain at all types of events (not just weddings), clients become friends (they don’t start there) and they benefit from our staff’s collective experience and the 10 years in the event industry Stem Productions has been active.

We had the absolute best experience working with Stem Productions. From the very beginning, Steve made the planning process feel so easy and stress-free. He helped us map out the flow of the day and made sure to incorporate personal touches that really reflected who we were as a couple. His communication was clear and timely, and the process was incredibly well organized. The DJ was phenomenal. They understood the vibe we were going for and followed our song list very well. Our dance floor was packed the entire night, and so many guests told us it was the most fun they had at a wedding. The photo booth was also a big hit. It added a fun, playful element to the night. Our guests kept going back for more pictures and created so many wonderful memories. I’m so grateful to Steve and the whole team for helping make our day so unforgettable.

At Live Picture Studios, we pride ourselves on our ability to reinvent traditional wedding videography and photography. Our philosophy is rooted in our belief that every couple is unique. It is our mission to take the time to get to know you and your love story before your wedding in order to capture the details that are personal to you. Doing so allows us to ensure that every wedding video and photo we produce is compelling and tailored to each couple's personalities.

Not only does their work speak for itself, but they made the entire process so easy. They are organized, professional, prompt, creative and kind - everything you could hope for in a videographer! After being in a tough situation where we had to pull the plug on another videographer who scammed us, we were scrambling a few months before our wedding and LPS came to the rescue not to mention at an affordable price since we didn't want to splurge too much on this pieces of our day (although they definitely had lots of add-on options to). Needless to say, they never made us feel rushed or like we were a 'last minute' couple. We are so grateful to them for saving our videographer worries and the end product being the most beautiful video we will cherish forever. THANK YOU, we could not recommend more - and we especially loved supporting a local business to the area where we got married and currently live!

My husband and I chose the Envue Hotel to be our all-in-one wedding venue and hotel room block. We actually signed our contract two years ago when a different management team was in place. After signing the contract, a new management team came in, and we could not have been more amazed with the level of service. It truly was a blessing in disguise. Chris and his team are truly one of a kind. From day one, Chris jumped in and truly became a partner in our wedding planning process. He was not only great at communicating, but also open to collaborating to make it the day of our dreams. I feel like so many venues we visited put numerous restrictions in place, but Chris listened to all of our ideas and was open to executing on our vision. He advice and guidance was so reassuring throughout the entire process. The venue itself is STUNNING. I can’t even express how many compliments I received from our guests. “This is the most beautiful venue I’ve ever been to” and “This is the best cocktail hour I’ve attended” was uttered all throughout the night. The fact that guests could dance at the reception, and then step outside on the balcony made it such an incredible reception space. Everyone loved it! Edwin was our Maître D. He was so friendly and detail oriented. I didn’t notice a single thing that didn’t go the way I wanted it to, and I know it was because Edwin was running a tight ship behind the scenes. The food was incredible and the bartenders were so friendly. Ali handled our room block, and I was also so pleased with the level of communication. Ali was responsive and accommodative of our requests. I didn’t hear a single complaint about the check in process, and the rooms were updated, clean, and beautiful. The Skyline Suite is also perfect for those “getting ready photos” the morning of J All in all, I think the Envue is a hidden gem of a wedding venue! With the ferry right in front of the venue, you can have all the perks of NYC while avoiding the craziness. Thank you, Envue and Team!

Hey! I’m Fill. Videography is my passion, so you can be sure I’ll put my best skills into your wedding film. My idea of a wedding film isn’t any different from a movie. Since it’s such a unique and special day, you deserve the full cinematic experience—lighting, angles, and proper audio capture. I get that posing can feel awkward, and being told what to do all day long isn’t exactly comfortable. But I promise the final result will be worth it. Alongside your photographer, we'll bring those “static” poses to life, adding motion and vivid moments that will last forever.

As a passionate wedding planner, I specialize in creating stress-free, meaningful, creative, intimate experiences and events of different scales, elopements and micro-weddings, that reflect your unique stories, personalities, cultures. My couples are adventurous, mindful, inspired by nature. They value meaningful experiences, quality time and creating lasting memories, often opting for thoughtful details over glamorous and lavish trends, excessively advertised in the industry.

Working with Anastasia of "Perfect Day Planning" was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our initial consultation to the final moments of our reception, her professionalism and attention to detail were absolutely exceptional, and I'm thrilled to share our experience with other couples considering her services. The quality of service we received went far beyond our expectations. Anastasia has cultivated relationships with some of the best vendors in the area, and her recommendations were spot-on for our style and budget. What truly impressed us was how she handled unexpected challenges. When our original bakery had an unexpected emergency three weeks before the wedding, Anastasia immediately presented us with three excellent alternatives and had tastings arranged within 48 hours. The replacement bakery she found actually ended up creating an even more beautiful and delicious cake than we had originally planned. Regarding value, while her services weren't the least expensive option we considered, the peace of mind and professional execution she provided were worth every penny. She actually helped us save money in several areas by negotiating with vendors and suggesting creative alternatives that aligned with our vision while keeping us within budget. A perfect example was when she recommended a fantastic florist who could repurpose our ceremony arrangements for the reception, saving us nearly 2K while maintaining the lush look we wanted. What truly sets Anastasia apart is her genuine investment in her clients' happiness. She took the time to understand not just our vision for the wedding, but our story as a couple. This personal touch was reflected in countless small details throughout the celebration that made our day feel uniquely ours. I would strongly recommend Anastasia to any couple planning their wedding. She brings the perfect combination of professional expertise, creative vision, and personal warmth to what can be an overwhelming process. Thanks to her, our wedding day was even more beautiful and stress-free than we could have imagined.

The Barnstorm 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $15,000
  • Serves Hackensack, NJ

The Barnstorm is an NYC-based party rock wedding band, best known for their electric and engaging dance party receptions. It's been said they're "not a real wedding band," but rather "an incredibly fun and engaging band that just happens to absolutely rock weddings!" Whether it's today's hits, top 40, hip hop, classic rock, Motown, and all things in between, The Barnstorm can do it all - putting their own spin on everything they do.

Highly, highly recommend the Barnstorm for a wedding or any event. We hired them for our wedding the last weekend of September 2019 in Montauk, and they absolutely put the night over the top! First and foremost, they are a great band; not your typical “wedding band”. They aren’t cookie cutter (i.e. you won’t hear them playing the same songs that you hear at every wedding) and they certainly aren’t stiff. They vibe off each other and the room. They are legitimately having a fun time performing with each other and that permeates throughout the room. Everyone will be up dancing, singing, drinking, and sweating their butts off, and having a blast! What to expect: -Professionalism. Brooks responds promptly and covers all bases. No detail will be overlooked during the planning stages. Day of, they get to the venue well ahead of time to sound check and make sure everything is sounding perfect. During the event, they are great at providing direction and making sure everything runs smoothly. -Personalization and flexibility. The guys truly care about making the event as special as possible and are very open to any idea to bring the event over the top. In addition to our “special request” songs (which they nailed) the band was incredibly gracious at my request to join them onstage to “surprise” my wife and guests by playing a song along with them. It could not have gone over any better…my wife was thrilled and it absolutely brought the house down! -Party! They know what will get everyone up and moving. Their catalogue of songs is well over 200 and it includes all decades and genres. Multiple guests commented that they didn’t want to leave the dance floor to get dessert or go to the bathroom because every song was such an amazing jam. The Barnstorm is absolutely worth every penny. We knew they were the right band for our wedding the first moment we heard them at Hill Country, and we feel so lucky and grateful to the guys for playing our wedding. On top of it all, my wife, friends, and I get to continue to relive that night by seeing their gigs throughout NYC! We simply cannot say enough great things about The Barnstorm.

Cedar Crest Farm was the perfect, exclusive venue for our wedding day. From their excellent, prompt, and genuine communication leading up to the event, to the incredible value and quality of their unique, rustic, and historic property, we could not have asked for a better experience. The beautifully maintained grounds, annual fall pumpkin display, handmade haybale couches, and fun lawn games like cornhole and croquet made our celebration feel truly special and connected to the natural setting. They also went above and beyond, suggesting easy and beautiful DIY activities like s'mores packs, charcuterie handhelds, and custom water bottles to enhance our "day after" luncheon. We are so grateful to the Cedar Crest Farm team for helping make our wedding day unforgettable.

Serenity Event Planning

  • Planner
  • Offers 7 services
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Hackensack, NJ

Our business is a professional service that specializes in organizing and coordinating weddings with special attention to detail and an in-depth understanding of the wedding industry. Our wedding planners help couples navigate through the entire wedding process. From selecting venues and vendors to managing timelines and budgets, they ensure that every aspect of the wedding is well-executed and memorable. By providing personalized guidance and expertise, wedding planners alleviate stress and allow couples to enjoy their special day fully.

I was skeptical about hiring a wedding planner because I wanted to do everything myself, but I’m so glad we went with Serenity Event Planning! We couldn’t have pulled off our special day without Janet as our day-of coordinator. In the months leading up to our wedding, Janet was in constant communication with me and made a point to check-in to make sure I was feeling stress free throughout the duration of the planning process. She answered my texts any time of day or night! Janet’s close attention to details, ideas, patience and hard work are what sets her apart from the rest. I showed her pictures of what I envisioned for my décor on the big day and she executed flawlessly. I didn’t think it was possible, but she brought my ideas to life even better than I could have expected. It was a HUGE sigh of relief arriving to the venue and seeing all of the décor, tables, and miscellaneous items set up hours before our ceremony was set to begin. Throughout the evening, Janet made sure to see that I was enjoying the evening and always had a drink in my hand. She worked exceptionally well with the wedding party and the other vendors I had hired and made sure that the night flowed smoothly. Even if you’re doing DIY décor, florals, etc. like I did and think you don’t need a day-of coordinator, I’m here to tell you that you absolutely DO. Our day would not have went as smoothly as it did without the support of our amazing coordinator, Janet. Thank you, Serenity Event Planning for going above and beyond to make my wedding day absolutely perfect and stress free!
