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.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Villa Films. My husband and I had both videography and photography services and they were worth every penny. Our wedding film was AMAZING and filled with all the emotions of the day. Watching it just placed us back to the day and we were also able to see little things that we did not really soak in on the day of. The photos were great as well and their team were so easy to work with, not only on the day of the wedding but also from when we first spoke with them when searching for vendors. Would definitely recommend Villa Films if you're looking to have a stress free experience with a final product that you'll be happy with.

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style

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.

We had our wedding at Roma View and truly had such a beautiful experience. From the planning process to the wedding day itself, the team was wonderful to work with. Our banquet coordinator, Lia, was excellent leading up to the wedding — responsive, helpful, organized, and always willing to answer our questions along the way. On the day of the wedding, our maitre’d Rob and captain Dominick were absolutely amazing. 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. The room looked beautiful, the food was great, and our guests had such a fun time celebrating with us. We are so grateful to Roma View for helping make our wedding day so special and memorable. We would absolutely recommend Roma View to couples looking for a beautiful venue with a team that genuinely takes care of you.

Awarded Best of Zola
We got married in June at GOC and it was the best day of our lives in every way, largely thanks to the hospitality from the GOC crew. If you're contemplating having your wedding here, DO IT. Truly unreal experience from start to finish. In the months leading up to the wedding, Stella, Chloe and Joe were so flexible and made themselves available every step of the way. From our food tasting, to tap/ cocktail selection - we really felt like we had complete agency. The GOC team helped us build a menu with all of our favorite foods. Everything was so delicious and fresh - so many people complimented the food. Food and drinks were plentiful. The bar staff was lighting fast and had plenty pre-poured - I don't think anyone waited for a drink for more than 5 seconds. Stella was a HUGE support in working with our various vendors. She integrated sweet little personal touches all around the venue - from our table number, to the menus. It feels like she thought of everything. We felt so supported every step of the way. We had our 120 person ceremony on the roof, cocktail hour downstairs, and dinner / dancing upstairs. The space is so flexible and comfortably fits more people than you'd think. We had a full band, a packed dance floor, and still somehow plenty of space to roam. The team flipped the space SO fast between our ceremony and reception. The skyline and bridge view made a stunning backdrop for our ceremony. The staff made sure we had drinks in our hands, and plates at our table. when we went upstairs We were truly blown away. The space is stunning as it and requires so little decor , if any at all. We loved that GOC has table cloths/ chairs/ tableware etc. It's really tough to find a true full service venue in NYC. They really can do it all, which allowed us to be present and focused only on having fun that day. I could go on and on and on, but I'll finish by saying that I'd be happy to talk to anyone about our experience because it was truly so perfect.

Elm Roastery

  • Caterer
  • Serves Howard Beach, NY

We are a Queens-based community roastery that brings craft hot and iced drinks to the greater NYC area. Started with a mission to build community at our brick and mortar in Elmhurst, we expanded to do mobile so that we can be a part of building community through the connection of coffee throughout New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

We loved having Elm Roastery at our wedding! My husband and I have a long history of fond memories and treasured conversations shared over a coffee, and we are so joyful that Elm was able to bring this to life and help us share this tradition with our loved ones. A highlight I want to note in my review is how professional and kind their barista was. The coffee enthusiasts of our bunch had so much fun asking questions and learning about their workflow and craft coffee process. Our friends and family also really enjoyed trying drinks that they may not have tried otherwise, and had only great things to say about them! Plus, coffeecake3. We also found their offerings to be at a great value. Their communication, attention to detail, and rates make it clear that their heart and passion is in the coffee and connection. They made a custom menu for us and, in addition to standard offerings, had decaf, alternative milks, flavor syrups, chai, teas, and hot cocoa available. There was absolutely something for everyone! The Elm Roastery coffee cart would be a lovely addition to any gathering, but for us personally, it was also a great way to offer something fun and new drink-wise after a late lunch as we did not have alcohol at our celebration. If you are also looking at throwing a sober wedding (or any other kind of wedding), I would highly recommend and consider having the Elm coffee cart! Elm Roastery is a Queens gem and they added such warmth and joy to our day. You should 100% message Peter. Like right now. P.S. you can preview their coffee at their cafe in Elmhurst so you don't have to just take my word for it!

Most couples who work with me take their relationship seriously, but don't take themselves too seriously. They're educated, do Wordle, read the NY Times and have a healthy sense of reality. Since 2011, I've been writing and performing personal, meaningful and refreshingly engaging ceremonies. Couples work with me in an easy, collaborative way. I take guest experience and your wishes very seriously. I have the ability to command a room, a writer's knack for shaping a story, an emcee's sense of timing, and experience at the most prestigious venues. My BFA in Acting (Boston University) and MFA in Creative Writing (NYU) serve me well.

Awarded Best of Zola
If 10 stars were a thing here, I'd give Chris all the stars. I read his book Best Ceremony Ever and felt that he was the perfect fit to be our wedding celebrant. I emailed him, and our relationship began. He is smart, charming, funny, and really puts his heart into his work. He worked with us to make sure all our special requests came to life. He lead the way during our rehearsal the day before the wedding. He came to the welcome party and got to mingle with our family and friends. On wedding day, he was a rock star! Our guests raved about him and still mention how amazing he was. I can't recommend him enough! He is the very best!

Marilyn Lamanna Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (49 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $8,500
  • 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
Marilyn was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. When we began looking for the right photographer for us, our primary criteria was someone who would photograph our day in a way that looked like art that could blend into the artwork in our house, and that’s exactly how we feel about Marilyn’s work. We are still struggling to pick which images to hang on our walls. Marilyn’s offering of both digital and film was also so fun and unique, and we chose to add folm onto both our engagement shoot and wedding day- totally worth it. Beyond her work being beautiful, she’s also incredibly communicative, quick to answer, and very organized. She always made herself available to us and was the perfect choice for two people who hate being the center of attention. We also did a pre wedding engagement shoot which Marilyn designed and chose the locations for, and it was epic. We love the photos from our engagement and wedding, and would definitely hire Marilyn again if ever we have an occasion for it! In terms of cost, of course that’s all going to depend on your specific budget, but my wife and I felt that Marilyn’s cost for her services was incredibly fair and appropriate, and we definitely would have spent ever more because we were passionate about working with her. When it came to the actual day of the wedding, Marilyn was super flexible and easy going! We absolutely recommend her, especially if you’re having a smaller wedding and love photos that are authentic to the day!

Thalia is a wedding photographer based in NYC and available worldwide. Inspired by art, music, and the quiet moments in between, she brings a calm, intentional approach to the way she documents weddings. With over 11 years of experience, she works closely with her couples from planning through the wedding day, capturing honest emotion and meaningful details. When she’s not photographing weddings, she’s likely holding a dirty chai latte or re-watching The Office.

Awarded Best of Zola
It is difficult not to write this review entirely in all glowing all caps because Thalia's artistry truly gave us a gift of a lifetime. Thalia is an absolutely lovely person and a PHENOMENAL photographer. We could not love our wedding (and engagement) photos more! My husband and I could tell from our first introductory meeting that Thalia's energy, enthusiasm, and professionalism were precisely what we were looking for, but boy oh boy, did her pictures exceed these expectations. We wanted both editorial and documentary style shots, and we received a perfect blend of both. Thalia knows how and when to provide styling guidance as well as when to hang back in order to snap up all the organic moments too. So grateful that the best day of our life was captured with such care. Thank you, Thalia!!

He continuosly reached out to check in on us, and truly matched the excitement for the big day. He even reach out to all the vendors and did a day trip to the venue to understand the layout. On the wedding day, Felix and I were either on the dance floor or fighting to get back on it!! We wanted a fusion of Peruvian, Dominican, and American and he understood the assignment!! He got the vibe right, and not only did we enjoy but our friends and family could not stop talking about amazing Kenny and the music was.

We originally looked at more “industrial” venues because we wanted that intimate feel and didn’t love catering hall vibes. We found Renaissance as we live close by and loved it once we toured initially. They have the space of a catering hall but the experience of a single party venue. Food was great and we never felt like we were being uncharged/swindled. Even at one point we saw an error on the agreement and Lisa changed it no problem. She was a delight to work with and never made us feel like our ask was so unbelievable. Bridal suite was big enough for 10 people to get ready. Overall nothing but great things to say about Renaissance.

While most venues unlocked the doors and let us take a quick look, Una spent the better part of an hour giving us a full tour, showing us photos of countless possible setups, and answering any and every question we could think of. Throughout the planning process Una was always ready to help, not to mention tell us a great story. Nikola was also gracious enough to host us for a great tasting of the wine offerings from the family vineyard. The view of the city speaks for itself, but the space is also beautiful and very flexible. We were able to bring in a variety of outside vendors to transform the space in a way that fit our vision and felt very personal.

That’s what I create for every couple I marry. I’m not just an officiant - I’m your friend, your guide, and your biggest cheerleader. I’ll be there to steady your nerves, share a laugh, and remind you to soak it all in. Because your love story is one-of-a-kind, and your ceremony should be too.

Awarded Best of Zola
Researching our honeymoon destination, we stumbled across photos on the web taken by Jackie’s husband, Sascha, which led us to Jackie. So inspired were we by TeamReinking, we decided to put our complete trust in them and elope from Australia to NYC. We had literally just booked our wedding in Australia. Jackie was so easy to work with and we connected with her via emails and then the moment we met in person (literally just before our ceremony). Jackie helped us create the most beautiful ceremony in April 2023 at the Ladies Pavilion in Central Park, NYC. A special moment in time filled with shared promises, love, laughter and quite a few tears. It was an emotional day for us that had been 12 years in the making. Jackie is simply a delight and it was easy for us to just be ourselves in that moment. My husband is still talking about our beautiful ceremony with Jackie by our side. I think he’s your number 1 fan, Jackie!!! Our photos (taken by Sascha) are beyond stunning and the memories of our day and ceremony we will cherish forever. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat! Tick this one off your list, celebrant and photographer sorted!! I’d give a 6 star rating if I could!! Ps I think my husband is already planning for us to renew our vows in the future with TeamReinking!!

My son and now daughter-in-law had the pleasure of working with Courtney as their wedding planner… And we all can’t express enough how happy we all were. Courtney’s thoughtful approach and attention to detail certainly made their day so extraordinarily special. From the moment the planning began, Courtney took the time to understand their vision and made sure every aspect of the day reflected who they are. Not only did Courtney personalize every detail of the wedding, she ensured that their guests had an amazing time. Thanks to Courtney‘s expertise and organization, the day ran smoothly allowing the bride and groom (and their parents) to relax and enjoy every moment with no worry. Courtney‘s professionalism and dedication were truly exceptional and she turned out to be the perfect wedding planner. If you’re looking for someone to make your wedding day truly special and unforgettable Courtney is your girl!

Heritage Bread Pudding is a Latina-owned company born in the World’s Borough - offering a spin on a beloved Puerto Rican classic made from whole ingredients, locally sourced bread, and stories passed down through generations.

I tasted a free sample of Heritage Bread Pudding and honestly was not expecting it to be so delicious! I don’t know what ingredients they put in it but I’ve never tasted a better bread pudding! I bought 3 boxes and shared them with friends and they all confirmed my reaction! I’ll be ordering more!

Awarded Best of Zola
Booking City and Terrace events was hands down one of the best decisions we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. From the very beginning until the very end, Lauren was our saving grace. No question was ever too small, no concern went unanswered, and every challenge was met with a solution. We never once heard the word "no." Instead, Lauren and her team approached everything with a positive, solution-oriented mindset that made us feel completely supported and confident every step of the way. The organization, attention to detail, responsiveness, and overall communication are truly unmatched. We always knew what was happening, what needed to be done, and felt like we were in the best hands possible. And the best part was that on our wedding day, we were able to be fully present because we knew Lauren and her team had every detail handled. Somehow, Lauren and her team brought all our dreams to life, and somehow exceeded them. Our day was everything we had envisioned and so much more, and we truly could not have done it without Lauren and her incredible team. We are forever grateful for everything they did for us and would recommend them 100% to any newly engaged couple. If you want a planner who genuinely cares, advocates for you, and goes above and beyond to make your wedding everything you've imagined, Lauren is the one.

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!

Working with Greta for our February 2025 wedding was a dream come true. From the moment we met with her (and even before we signed a contract with her) she was incredibly supportive and helpful. If you want someone who is going to take care of every detail before you can even think to ask about them, she's your girl. From our first call, my husband and I knew we would be working with her. She has such a calming demeanor but she's also incredibly resourceful and uses her knowledge and abilities to the max. Having no family in the area, I really had to lean on her for a lot more than I thought I might, especially when I was having issues with my wedding dress. She even came with me to pick it up the first time!! Greta has so many connections and really knows her stuff when it comes to weddings. She'll be real with you about what's possible within your budget and she really helped us stay within ours - she has a great system that she provides you access to. I could go on and on about how amazing she is. I'm just sad that our wedding is now over and we won't have a reason to connect! We love you Greta!!!!
