Awarded Best of Zola
We’re so glad we chose Jason. We can’t believe how beautiful our photos are. We’re both pretty awkward people and we always look silly in photos. He was so fun and encouraging. He captured every moment beautifully. We’ve never looked so graceful in our lives. We had our wedding at a campground and he arrived early and worked with us to get pictures of our friends and families in that casual setting in our casual clothes. In these pictures and in the photos of our wedding, he made beautiful use of the scenery. He got to know us as a couple and really understood our vision. He gave detailed directions but the photos still look organic and spontaneous. He was also so kind and accessible through the whole process. We didn’t have a planner and he helped us figure out our wedding itinerary even though that was definitely not his job. He has a ton of wedding experience and it shows.

My husband and I got married on 6/15/2024. I handled majority of our wedding planning, but as an OCD bride, my biggest anxiety was not being able to be hands on for the day of our wedding. Everyone was telling me that as the bride I had to enjoy my wedding day, but all I could think about was “I need to make sure everything goes exactly the way I’ve been planning it for the last year and a half”. That’s when I knew I needed a day of coordinator. I came across Star Rose Creations and I’m SO happy that I did. Miranda and Kylie are absolutely gems!! They are both so professional, caring, and understanding. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. From the initial meeting, to creating timelines for the day of, to making sure that everything was setup the way my floor plan showed, to handling the vendors, to making sure we kept on schedule for the ceremony and reception… I mean they handled it all! And most importantly, they kept me smiling which helped to keep my tears at bay on the happiest day of my life! I can’t tell you how happy I was to have them both there on our wedding day! Even our bridal party talked about them after our wedding and how impressed they were that Miranda and Kylie were so attentive to my husband and I. Trust me, if you book with Star Rose Creations you won’t be disappointed!!

We had a great experience working with Mitali. My wife and I love plants and so we wanted our wedding florals to reflect that. We reached out to Mitali and asked if she would be willing to put together a plant-forward design for our wedding. Mitali immediately got excited about the idea and started thinking of unique ways to integrate plants into the space. We were blown away by the outcome. The plants were so unique and special. We had people coming up to us all night telling us how great they looked. All the guests were also allowed to take the plants home at the end of the night which we thought was such a unique party favor and also great way to reduce waste. In addition to the center pieces, Mitali put together a stunning bridal bouquet and boutonniere that matched the colors of the wedding perfectly. Mitali was also very responsive throughout the whole wedding planning process and had some great recommendations and advice. We're so grateful to Mitali for bringing our vision to life and would highly recommend her as a wedding florist!

We're a husband/wife photography duo. We're college sweethearts and we're currently expecting our first child in June 2021! We are so happy to be in this business but we didn’t always know we’d become wedding photographers. Seth spent about 10 years in video production (aka the equipment expert) and Nicole is an advertising art director (aka the artsy perfectionist).

Seth was so wonderful to work with. He was generous with his time, taking our ideas and bringing in his own, and shooting both engagement and wedding photos that truly exceeded our expectations. He and his team are kind, genuine people who are easy to communicate with and who we loved spending our wedding day with. We are so, so grateful and recommend Hyde Photography to anyone!

Absolutely Incredible Experience with Posh DJs! We live in Florida and got married in New Jersey, so I did all of the planning remotely. After reading glowing reviews, I reached out to Posh DJs—and from my very first meeting with Nicky, I knew he was going to be our DJ.

The energy, the music, the packed dance floor, and even the robot—everything was just amazing. Our guests are still talking about it and telling us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to (some even said better than their own)! If I could give 10 stars, I would.

We hired Sarah for her services roughly a year out from our wedding. From the start, Sarah was extremely responsive and helped answer all my questions. During this time, we had selected a majority of our vendors but we needed Sarah's expertise in organizing our long to-do list, logistics and design ideas. A majority of our guests were traveling to our wedding so the logistics of how the weekend looked was very important to us as a couple. Sarah seamlessly was able to put together a plan to ensure that we were thinking of every detail needed to get our guests from point A to point B and back. During the weekend of the wedding, Sarah and her team were on top of every detail and that allowed myself and my husband to focus on enjoying the celebration. Sarah's ability to remain calm and handle any challenge that comes her way from vendors is truly an asset that anyone will want for their wedding weekend. We can't thank you enough for making our wedding day so perfect! Having Sarah as our wedding planner was truly one of the best decisions we made during the wedding process.

I highly recommend Electrified DJ Services if you are looking for a professional and energized DJ service. They go beyond the regular duties of a DJ to make your event (wedding, in my case) flow smoothly! There was an issue with the venue during my wedding, and we had to alter our timelines by over an hour. Ernest was so professional and helped to find a solution to this problem so my husband and I, as well as our friends and family, could enjoy our evening. The MC (Marlowe) kept the reception perfectly paced (even after the end of the event was moved up) without making my husband and me feel rushed or stressed. In addition, they did a spectacular job at choosing music that kept all our guests (of all ages) on the dance floor and having a wonderful time. I could not have asked for a better DJ and MC for my wedding reception. I would recommend Electrified DJ Services to anyone who wants a fantastic, fun, professional DJ service that goes out of its way to make your event (whatever it may be) a tremendous success!

MMUAV Pro is INCREDIBLE. Having never had professional services done before, I had so many concerns: my eczema-prone skin, if my hair would stay volumized, if there was experience with a wide-range of complexions and hair textures for my bridal party, etc. etc. etc. The list went on. For myself, Norma DID HER THING with the makeup! No flare ups or skin irritations all day. The natural glam was spot on with what I was envisioning. Linda was AMAZING with my hair! Everything came out perfect and the curls sat so beautifully on my collar bone. The airbrush was super light and didn't irritate my eczema-prone skin at all. For my family and bridesmaids who had services done, they were all so happy with their hair and makeup! Norma, Linda, Omayra, and Chantelle were so wonderful. They knew how to work with everyone's skin type, facial structure, and hair texture. Everything held up so well. From inquiring to the trial and wedding day, MMUAV Pro was always kindly available. I couldn't have imagined anyone else doing hair & makeup for the wedding. They made my vision come to life. Everyone was so professional, calm, fun, and just overall had a great attitude from start to finish. This day was so special for all of us. So grateful for Vicky and Linda for taking the time to listen to all my thoughts, questions, and concerns throughout the way. Thank you isn't enough, and I hope this review helps so many others with similar concerns I had. THANK YOU MMUAV PRO!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Planning a wedding is stressful, time consuming and laborious. There are countless details that make such an occasion, many of which require careful consideration and decisions. To-do lists expand with every conversation - whether it be with parents, vendors, or your spouse! It's a good thing we had Ani Wolff on our team. Ani Wolff's pinpoint management of our wedding day in New York elevated the occasion for us as bride and groom; and for our vendors, who have had nothing but positive feedback after working with Ani. Upon reflection of her work and her format, Ani crushed our expectations. She did an outstanding job in getting to know us and our preferences, put us on a schedule to plan the wedding, and kept those plans on track. One night we spent two hours going through a checklist, after which we never had to discuss those items again - she just took care of everything. There are a few other attributes of Ani's partnership that we sincerely value. She kicked a during the rehearsal of our wedding. We had big grins on our face as she efficiently led the process, putting our family and friends into place and clearly articulated what's going to happen next. On the wedding day, she had everything a bride could ask for and then some in her fanny pack. She effortlessly whisked everyone - and everything - into position during the wedding, which included a first of its kind room flip in our venue.  Thank you, Ani, for your kindness, positivity and 'can-do' attitude. We appreciate you!

Working with Angie was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. My husband, mom, and I often talked about how incredible she was and how we couldn’t believe we thought we could plan the wedding without her! We started planning on our own for the first year and then brought Angie on for the final three months—it was completely worth the investment (in hindsight, I wish we had hired her sooner). Angie is beyond generous with her time. Our weekly meetings, scheduled for an hour, often extended to two, and not once did she make us feel rushed. Her entire approach is so thoughtful—she took the time to really get to know us and our families, and she truly understood our vibe. Then, she took everything to the next level, suggesting creative touches we’d never have thought of, like turning our seating chart into a map of NYC with table names for different neighborhoods! One of the biggest reliefs was having Angie coordinate directly with all of our vendors. She worked with everyone—our venue (Tavern on the Green), rehearsal dinner and brunch venues, hotel, hair and makeup teams, band, photographer, and baker—meaning we didn’t have to manage any of that ourselves. She even managed our payment schedule, which was such a huge help. Angie was always full of great ideas, and she didn’t just come up with them—she would go ahead and make them happen! From printing all of our signage to supplying candles, photo frames, and even ring boxes, she has everything you need. Her calm, empathetic nature and fantastic listening skills made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. Honestly, we were so sad when the wedding ended because it meant no more weekly calls with Angie! If you’re even considering working with her, I cannot recommend her enough—she is a true gem!

I'm Angelica, the owner of Dawnpoint Studios! I'm an adventurous and internationally requested wedding/elopement photographer with a focus on sustainability! Here's an unexpected fact - I hated weddings when I first started second shooting them. It broke my heart to see couples being rushed, overwhelmed, and not truly having any connection to couples. That's what drove my passion to breath a fresh air into the wedding experience! Plan with intention, focus on being present, and building genuine relationships with couples! You should be heard, appreciated, and understood. You should feel encouraged to get married your way.

Awarded Best of Zola
Read for my true heartfelt experience with Angelica at Dawnpoint, but in short - hire her. This should be the easiest decision you make in your wedding planning journey. I came across Dawnpoint after she documented the wedding of someone I know. Those pictures felt so authentic and real. They took me right to the event and made me feel so much. I knew I needed to meet her. From my initial zoom meeting with Angelica, we hit it off. I said I wanted to get the best views in our pictures. She was on board right away. For our engagement pictures, she took us on a hike. Chris and I showed up in hiking gear with our formal wear in our packs. So did Angelica. This may seem so minuscule but for two people who had never been photographed and just wanted someone to make them feel comfortable and to capture something real, this made us trust her from the get go. Needless to say, those pictures were amazing. We even used them for our save the dates! Fast forward to our wedding day in Lake Placid on June 15, 2024. My goals were ambitious but Angelica was on board every step of the way. From creating the timeline to executing the plan the day of, it was the least stressful part of our day. What I loved most was that she listened to my vision and incorporated it in everything she did that day. I even forgot that I wanted a specific picture of my dress, but she definitely did not. When I was getting ready, she had my bridal party share personal stories of us and it was so sweet, I felt so connected to the people closest to me that day and it helped me stay grounded and present from the beginning. For our first look, we wanted to meet at the top of Whiteface Mountain. This was 40 minutes away from our venue and logistically a lot of things could go wrong. Yet, Angelica was a smiling face reassuring me that we could do it. Everything from asking for us to skip the elevator line, to clearing the space on Whiteface for Chris and I to get our moment. I was and remain truly speechless of how she actually made this happen. The pictures speak for themselves. After, we returned to our venue and without delay resumed with a first look with my dad (which I added last minute and was meeted with so much excitement from Angelica). One of my favorite parts was golden hour pictures. I take zero credit here. This was Angelica’s idea and I am so thankful. It was a truly beautiful and authentic experience to photograph the newly wed joy I felt. This is just one of so many ways in which Angelica showed that she was as present and invested in our day as we were. After receiving my sneak preview pictures, I was honestly met with so much emotion. I was brought right back to each moment and exactly how I was feeling. I am truly blown away because if anyone can get a picture to tell a thousand words, it is Angelica. She perfectly captured our day and was the single most best decision I made that day. Unsolicited feedback from my guests: “Your photographer smiled the entire night! She looked like she was having so much fun!” This was feedback I got multiple times and it goes to show much Angelica loves her job! P.S. Jake, her second shooter, was also an absolute pleasure. Together, their energy was infectious.

I'm Miranda, a Jersey City, NJ wedding photographer. I understand that being in front of a camera can be awkward, especially if you're not used to it. Instead of putting you in robot poses, I will guide you on moving naturally and provide prompts to evoke fun and romance. Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime event, surrounded by all your favorite people and their love as they celebrate your next chapter as a married couple. It's no surprise you want wedding photos you can look back on to feel the connection, remember the moment, and share the stories. I believe photographs are like time machines, one of life's greatest treasures.

Miranda flew out to my San Diego wedding to capture my special day. She was so present and made me feel absolutely beautiful and comfortable. I honestly wish I could get married every year just to be able to work along side her. My groom also loved her and never felt uncomfortable or "over" the picture taking! Cannot recommend her and Greg enough! They are such a lovely couple and were meant to do this! Thank you!

From the moment my husband and I stepped foot into Liberty House, we knew we had found our dream wedding venue.

The level of care and attention they provided made me feel like the most important bride they had ever seen.
