Villa Films

Howard Beach, NY
  • Videographer
  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $3,000

Vílla Films is a professional videography & Photography service for weddings. They are local to the New York Tri-State Area but are Destination Bound as well. With a customer-based approach to their filmmaking process, the team tells the tales of those saying “I do” in vivid, emotional detail. The group is celebrated for its cinematic style of production, which combines dramatic establishing shots with candidly capture footage of happy newly-weds. They strive to create films that are re-watchable time and time again and reflect couples’ personalities.

I HIGHLY recommend our videographer Justin at Villa films. Funny story was, we actually won a photo booth with him. That’s how we came across him and saw he also offered other services. We wanted to use him for one of his other services because we were so thankful for winning the photo booth. He just started in the wedding industry not too long ago, but he is an absolute dream to work with !! Even with eveything changing with COVID he has stayed consistent. Having our zoom meetings with him actually got me excited for our wedding again that we had in January. I was always able to reach him if I had any questions. My favorite thing was he worked with us and our budget. He would listen to everything that was impotent to us and what we wanted in the video. If your looking for videographers I would definitely talk to Justin. He is truly amazing at what he does!

Howard Beach, NY
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $900

What’s a Wedding Content Creator (and why you need one)? Hi, I’m Karina, and my role is to capture your wedding in the most personal way possible. Unlike traditional photographers or videographers, I focus on creating behind-the-scenes, candid, and social-media-ready content of your day. Think of me as your best friend with a camera—documenting the laughter in the bridal suite, the tears before the aisle, the spontaneous dance floor moments, and all the little details that make your wedding uniquely yours.

Bitsy Lemon Studio was an extraordinary wedding content creator choice for our special day. Their communication was clear, easy and simple, which made the entire process a breeze. The quality of their work and talent is truly exceptional - they captured every moment beautifully, including all the little details I asked them to focus on, like the ceremony. Having a content creator there in addition to the main photographer was 10000% worth it, as they were able to capture so many amazing moments that I wouldn't have wanted to miss. We are thrilled with the final photos and could not recommend Bitsy Lemon Studio highly enough.

They kept everything running smoothly, made sure we were taken care of all night, and handled the day with so much professionalism and care. They truly made us feel supported and allowed us to enjoy the night without worrying about the details.

  • Serves Howard Beach, NY

Hey there! My name is Marilyn. I live in New York City with my sweet partner, and our orange cat Maple. I’m an introverted, soft-hearted mush with an insatiable need to document the beauty in life. Practicing self-portraits in middle school eventually led me to pursue my photography degree from New York University, and I have been joyfully creating photos of wedding days ever since. To me, weddings are a magical display of the human spirit. It’s my biggest honor and joy to create imagery that captures that human magic - especially in a way that breaks the boundaries of historically gendered traditions.

Awarded Best of Zola
Wow WOW!! We are beyond grateful to Marilyn for capturing our joint proposal so beautifully! As a queer couple, we haven’t always had positive experiences feeling fully seen and comfortable during special moments. However, she was truly incredible. From the very start, she made us feel safe, respected, and completely at ease, allowing us to be our true selves. Marilyn's warmth and professionalism ensured that we could fully enjoy the moment, and it shows in the absolutely STUNNING photos she created. Every image reflects the love and joy we felt that day, and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. Thank you for preserving these memories so perfectly and making it a lovely experience.

Kenny Fiesta was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very start, his communication style was thorough, low-pressure, and reliable. He connected with each vendor, the venue, and key people in our wedding to ensure all were aligned and knew who he was, how to work with him, and what to expect throughout the night. Kenny's experience as a DJ was truly top-notch - he kept the party going all night long and made sure the music and energy were perfect for our special day. He worked with our playlist and captured our vision for the day. It was a PARTY. Kent was a joy to work with, keeping things low-pressure throughout the process but covering every detail. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ, and we highly recommend Kenny Fiesta to any couple looking for an experienced, professional, and fun-loving addition to their wedding day or their event. We would 100% work with him again in the future. In the end, he felt like family.

With an unwavering commitment to transforming dreams into exquisite realities, our distinguished team, led by industry visionary Lauren Luberger, boasts over two decades of collective expertise in orchestrating flawless celebrations.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had our wedding May 2025 and started planning with the City & Terrace team 9 months ahead of time. If you're looking for a planner that is extremely thorough, detail-oriented, flexible, and goes above & beyond to make sure your big day goes seamlessly, look no further than Lauren & her team. We had a wedding that was highly personalized, unconventional in many ways, and demanding in terms of timelines, details, and aesthetics. Here are some ways the City & Terrace team went above & beyond to make our vision come to life: - Provided us with multiple scenarios & projected costs to consider in how to run reception since we were unconventionally catering from an independent restaurant that doesn't have wedding catering expertise. - Sourced Chinese porcelain tea jars from an independent supplier in Brooklyn to accomplish our very niche aesthetic demands. - Pulled a lot of strings with other vendors to buy us extra time and opportunities to see and review our tablescape design. - Our wedding day schedule was very tight with multiple activities planned down to the minute. Lauren always gave honest feedback and made sure to accommodate our requests to the best of her abilities. The City & Terrace team also did a great job in managing all of the cultural elements (Chinese & Cambodian) of our wedding that were new to them. Highly recommend City & Terrace for your next big event!

Dj Sparkx Entertainment was an incredible experience from start to finish. From our initial contact to the post-wedding follow-up, he was consistently professional and attentive. Our wedding took place in December 2024, just a few days after Christmas—a timing that had both its challenges and blessings. Despite the busy holiday season, Dj Sparkx took the time to thoroughly go over all our preferences and ensure everything was perfectly planned for our big day. On the wedding day, he exceeded all our expectations. Our guests are still raving about how engaging he was and how skillfully he played music that resonated with both sides of our family. Dj Sparkx masterfully balanced the Caribbean spice with the classic American hits, making the event enjoyable for everyone. He is versatile and does his research for any cultural background! He also made it a point to ensure that my husband and I had time on the dance floor and enjoyed ourselves. What stood out the most was how collaborative he was throughout the process. He listened to our ideas, shared his expert opinions, and every suggestion he made elevated our wedding to another level. Trusting a vendor with one of the most important days of your life can be daunting, but my advice is simple: trust Dj Sparkx! The photobooth was also a fantastic addition. Dj Sparkx added a special touch by surprising us with a photo album filled with messages from our guests—a keepsake we’ll treasure forever. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to work with Dj Sparkx. He is professional, cost-efficient, and, most importantly, an absolute joy to work with. Highly recommended!

Courtney was the wedding planner of a wedding I attended. It was clear that every detail was well thought out and the event was a reflection of the couple and everything that was important to them. The venue was in a small town in upstate NY, quaint and charming, by the river. From the welcome bags at our hotel, and the newspaper with all the event details we knew we were in for a treat. The wedding venue was absolutely gorgeous, and beautifully decorated. There were thoughtful touches like the telephone to leave a message for the couple, the personalized watercolors of the attendees as momentous, and the sunglasses for the guests as we hung in the garden at the venue, this was one of the best events I have attended. And the band was outstanding, we danced all night. Courtney did a phenomenal job of thinking about the big and the small things.

My wedding was this past weekend, and I still want to shout Amanda's praises from every rooftop! Hire her now! We had a complex wedding design: a full three-night, four-day weekend with several different spaces and layouts involved, and different guest lists for each day. Amanda handled everything masterfully. Every detail was exactly as we imagined (and more!), and she was a true joy to work with. My mother and I have different working styles and visions, and somehow Amanda found a way to meet both of our needs at each turn and help us avoid any conflict with one another. Amanda is highly detail-oriented and has a way of handling so many things "behind the scenes" and well in advance of the wedding - including crafting much of the decor and guest gifts weeks in advance, then personally transporting them to the wedding. It was efforts like this that really set her apart from other planners -- measurably reducing our stress each moment and taking things off our very full plates. We will genuinely miss speaking and working with Amanda. Our only regret was not hiring her sooner - she joined us after we had personally booked our venue and a handful of vendors, but having her with us earlier would have only enhanced our planning process.

Welcome to Velvet Valley Cakes, where vintage charm meets modern flair. Inspired by the timeless techniques of classic cake decorating books, I bring a bygone era's elegance to life with intricate, handcrafted buttercream designs. My diverse upbringing in Queens, NY, has infused my creations with a unique fusion of flavors, reflecting the eclectic culinary landscape of my childhood. From traditional to unexpected, my cakes blend nostalgia with innovation, making every wedding celebration a sweet masterpiece.

We hadn’t initially anticipated wanting a vintage-style wedding cake, but once we saw Blair Gutierrez’s creations at Velvet Valley Cakes, we completely fell in love with the idea. Blair’s artistry and attention to detail were evident from the start, and the cake on our wedding day was nothing short of perfect—both visually stunning and absolutely delicious. Blair provided us with an exceptional tasting experience, delivering four different miniature cakes for us to try. Each cake was flawless, delivered without any issues, and gave us more than enough to sample and enjoy. The thoughtful presentation of the miniature cakes made the experience even more fun and memorable. With every flavor tasting so amazing, it was hard to narrow down our choices, but we ultimately decided on two flavors for our wedding cake (Earl Grey Lemon Blueberry & Mediterranean). From our first communication to the tasting process and all the way to our wedding day, everything with Velvet Valley Cakes was seamless, professional, and delightful. The cake was a true highlight of our celebration, and we are so grateful to Blair for making our wedding day even sweeter. We couldn’t recommend Velvet Valley Cakes more!

Anna has done my makeup as a wedding guest and did such a wonderful job! My husband said it was his favorite makeup I’ve ever had professionally done! Aside from the fact that she is a master of makeup she makes you feel so comfortable and the convo during makes getting your makeup done so fun! Would hire again for sure!

Beauty Refinery NYC was a great choice for my wedding reception. Their communication was direct and timely, which ensured we were on the same page. Kristen was very meticulous with her work so my hair and makeup lasted all afternoon despite the heat and direct sun on our rooftop party.

The experience I had at Renaissance was truly unforgettable. Lisa and Maritza went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect for my event. Their responsiveness, helpfulness, and engaging personalities added to the overall positive experience. The hall itself is stunning and I regret not having better pictures to capture its beauty. We were able to utilize both the outside for our wedding ceremony and the inside for our reception, creating a seamless and enjoyable experience for our family and friends. My husband and I, decided to do buffet style for the dinner. The food served at the buffet was absolutely amazing. We also chose the premium open bar, the bartenders did an amazing job with the drinks. My husband and I wedded on July 26,2024, and to this day our family and friends still talk about how much fun they had and how delicious the food and drinks were. If you're considering hosting an event, I highly recommend choosing Renaissance as your venue. Trust me, you won't regret it! #TheWillis's
