If you're a bride, you know that things have changed a little bit since the day you got engaged, you started making plans right away and every step it's a roller coaster of emotions that will follow you until your wedding day. Being a bride in the past, I understand the need of being surrounded by professionals that not only provide you with beautiful and organized work but you also treat you as a special person and not just a number.

Awarded Best of Zola
Chrys was more than my hair and make up artist that day. She was my fairy glam mother! She stayed with me all day for touch ups (which my now husband really enjoyed receiving too). She would run over in-between a photo and fix a strand of hair, blotting some sweat, the little things that made my wedding photos truly perfect. There is nothing worse than looking back and wondering why did no one fix that piece! When she wasn't perfecting my look, she was an absolute angel and was helping me walk around with my extra long train and giving me pep talks. When we arrived at the church it all hit me, that the big day was here and I was about to walk down the aisle, she knew exactly what to do and calmed me down while holding a fan to my face for my make up to stay put from tears. She is truly the kindest and most genuine person. I was so lucky to have her with me during that moment! Now... for why you're reading this review, the hair and make up skill. 5 stars!!! Chrys is beyond talented! I loved her work in Instagram and reached out. The truth is, you never know what you're booking in the wedding planning phase. I saw she had an amazing portfolio and was reliable. I can say booking with Chrys was the best wedding planning decision I made! NO NOTES! I'm whole heartedly in love with my look and how it all came out in photos. She took the direction and feedback from the trial and perfected it on my wedding day, I was blown away! I seriously think she was reading my mind! lol. She hit every single detail, she helped mix what I wanted and what would last on a hot June summer day with ease. I felt like a princess! Chrys also did my mothers hair and make up. She's never had it professionally done and is very picky. My mom is OBESSESSED with Chrys and her work. She also said it was the best wedding planning decision I made. After it was all over, we agreed it was so important to have someone who was full of positive and calming energy as you're anxious sitting in the chair all morning. She was exactly what everyone needs on their wedding day. A true full package, a fairy glam mother! XOXOX

As your lead shooter, he had a passion for photography his entire life, capturing moments around him in the most authentic ways until one day Brittany told him “go full time”, it was insane. He fell in love with wedding photography and the emotion it brought out for everyone involved. Coming home so happy with unique stories and photos from all over the state, Brittany knew she needed to join him on wedding days. Having a background in hospitality for 20 years Brittany began coordinating the day alongside Mark.

Mark and Brittany are truly exceptional at what they do. My husband and I are not typically in front of a camera, but Mark made us instantly comfortable in a way that allowed him to truly capture the moment between us instead of feeling like models posing for a job. We had a small wedding with no formal wedding planner or runner for the day, but Brittany and Mark helped everything to go smoothly, and we truly couldn’t have done it without them. Beyond all that, the images are truly breathtaking. Mark has an intrinsic ability to scan a space and find the most beautiful piece of it. I have never seen the inside of a train station look so magical! If you choose This Insane Idea for your special day, you will not be disappointed!

Bryanna was kind and professional from beginning to end. After our trial appointment, I unfortunately ended up losing my hair due to alopecia. I asked Bryanna if she would be able to style a wig. She did some research and agreed to do it even though she had never done it before. My bridal hair came out so beautifully. I couldn't have asked for more kindness, talent, and professionalism.

Ten stars! I know I am super late, but better late than never. I just wanted to say thank you for how awesome Michael and the Red Bank Studio team were for our wedding. From their punctuality and professionalism throughout the whole process, to Michael’s contagious smile and good spirit on the wedding day, we must say that we could not have been able to find anyone else better than them to take care of us on our special day. I am not just saying this myself, but in fact many of my guests very impressed with Michael’s work and charisma, and came to me to complement his work and personality. Your energy, your charm, and your ability to make people laugh even when they do not want to, made our wedding day extra special. I must say that I was extremely worried about my husband and his lack of smiling skills, but he gave us the best smile I have ever seen in him. More than taking pictures and recording a video, Michael and the team would make sure that we were comfortable and we never felt overwhelmed with pictures that day. They actually enjoy their work. You can tell is not a job for them! I cannot thank you guys enough, and I will be forever grateful for the stellar work you guys performed at our wedding. I wish you and your team a successful and healthy 2023, and I hope we get to work together soon!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you are looking to have a wedding where your guests do not leave the dance floor the entire night - look no further because JB Pro Live is who you need!! Our DJ, Jan, absolutely exceeded all expectations we had as a DJ for our wedding day. When we met with him before the wedding, we gave him a few of our favorite songs but told him to use his discretion as what was most important to us was having everyone dancing and enjoying themselves. WELL, did he know what he was doing!!! Our dance floor was filled the ENTIRE NIGHT. We had 220 guests at our wedding, and 0 of them were sitting. We have guests who didn't even know we had a photo booth or voicemail booth because they truly did not leave the dance floor one time to look around. Jan reads the room perfectly and truly has a niche for knowing what people like to hear. Our MC Matt was also so great! He helped keep the night on track and made sure we were enjoying ourselves the entire time. He was fun, entertaining, and kept the vibes going! We have had 10 guests ask for our DJs information so they can book him for their own wedding because he really was just that good. After just the first dance set alone, our guests were excited and ready to party because he set the tone perfectly! We also booked a saxophonist through JPBRO as well as a dry ice machine, indoor firework fountains, and the snow effect and they were all perfect! The snow was by far the best addition! It was practically real snow (way better than what we were expecting) and all of our guests went crazy over it! The saxophonist was also a great touch and played practically every song throughout the night which our guests loved! And of course the dry ice machine and indoor firework fountains looked so great in our wedding pictures! Request Jan as your DJ- he is worth every penny and you will not regret it!!! He is absolutely a pro at what he does and you can guarantee that with him, not only will you have the best night of your life, but your guests will as well!

Hello! My name is Fen, nice to meet you online! I’m a freelance cinematographer and editor. I split my time between shooting weddings and indie films. I enjoy doing both because I love the thrill of operating a camera and I love people and stories! I have shot almost 400 weddings and I edit everything myself. In my spare time I love swimming, hiking, skiing, traveling with my family, writing and learning all kinds of stuff. I’m very curious about the world!

100% one of the best choices we made for our wedding. Fen was a pleasure to work with. She wasn't pulling us aside to get anything she needed, she was just always in the right place at the right time. Her work was incredible & so was her demeanor/personality. I would highly highly recommend Ren to anyone looking for a videographer. She captured not only the obvious important moments, but she captured things we LOVED to see again that we didnt even remember or think were that important at the moment. Special moments between us, between friends and family, the whole gambit. Prior to the wedding she didnt add any additional stress, had clear communication, was friendly, all the things you want in your vendors.

When I’m not shooting weddings around the globe, you’ll find me in Cape May, shopping at my favorite local spots with a coffee in hand or walking on the beach. Family is everything to me and my clients are an extension of that. I could eat tacos daily, adore martinis, and decorate my home with a coastal chic inspiration. As an international photographer, I have the pleasure of traveling and experiencing new coastal towns and culters which brings me so much joy!

We had such an amazing experience working with our photography team! Kaitlin was our main point of contact throughout the entire planning process, and she was an absolute dream to work with. She was always so easy to communicate with, incredibly responsive, and consistently brought the energy and excitement that made us even more thrilled for our big day. The thoughtful gifts she sent us during the holidays leading up to the wedding were such a sweet and personal touch—we truly felt cared for every step of the way. On the day of the wedding at Icona Diamond Beach, we worked with two of Kaitlin’s associates, Brooke and Taylor, and they exceeded every expectation. They were efficient, fun, and made the entire photography process feel effortless. Not only did they keep us ahead of schedule all day, but they also captured every moment so beautifully—we’re obsessed with our photos! They gave us memories we’ll treasure for a lifetime. We can't recommend Kaitlin and her team enough. Whether you're looking for talent, professionalism, or just genuinely great people to have by your side, they deliver it all.

Working with Mandy was an absolute dream! For my makeup trial, I gave her a reference photo and she copied it exactly. She took my very minimal comments from the trial and implemented them perfectly for the big day—I’ve never felt so beautiful! I love Mandy’s style because I’m not someone who wears makeup regularly, and she made sure I still felt like myself. She enhanced all my features in such a natural, effortless way. My makeup put stayed all night and looked fantastic in photos. Mandy was also incredibly professional and organized. She provided a detailed timeline for myself, my bridal party, mom and (now) mother-in-law for the wedding day, which was so helpful for coordinating with my hair artist and keeping everything running smoothly. She was always prompt and responsive via email. I can’t recommend Mandy enough!

Monica Nguyen Makeup 

5.0

  • Beauty professional
  • Serves Island Heights, NJ

Monica Nguyen has been a makeup artist for 9 years working backstage at runway shows and on set for fashion, editorial, and commercial shoots. Her career began in the wedding industry, which is still a big part of what she does today. The biggest joy she receives is knowing she is there to pamper and take care of the person sitting in her chair, especially on one of the most important days of their life. No event is too big or too small as she places great importance on each and every one of them.

Awarded Best of Zola
First of all, I discovered Monica’s Instagram page through a mutual friend, who is a stylist at the top of her game (hair). Browsing through Monica’s posts, I immediately loved her work - every look she created was flawless - smooth and natural, while highlighting and accentuating each subject’s best features. And that’s exactly what I wanted for my wedding look - to be my most beautiful, flawless SELF; to look amazing but still look like myself. When I asked my friend/hair stylist for her opinion of Monica’s work, she appropriately referred to it as “true artistry”. Fast forward to my wedding day. After having had one makeup trial with Monica trying to incorporate some of my wedding hues (at my request) months prior, I decided on the morning of my wedding that I wanted to go for a different palette (warm and neutral) and an overall different look. Not only was Monica unphased by this last minute (and, for me, daring) change of plans, but she effortlessly executed the look beyond my expectations. I was admittedly a little nervous when I made the request that morning (I felt bad putting her on the spot like that), but i was confident in Monica’s talent and I was also reassured and calmed by her laid back and warm nature. And it seems that it was all meant to be. I have never looked and felt as beautiful as I did that day. I received countless compliments and to this day am still reminded of how “stunning” I looked, all thanks to Monica. People have sought out her services through me, and I will always keep her on speed dial for special occasions. Six years after having had the pleasure of booking Monica, I still occasionally browse through her portfolio and see that she continues to do it all (from weddings to editorial and fashion week). I’m impressed by her professionalism and humility with all her clients; she’s true to her craft, and gives every client the VIP treatment she believes is deserved.

On the wedding day itself, Victor struck the perfect balance between guiding us to get great photos while also letting my husband and I enjoy our reception. His friendly demeanor put us at ease. The end results speak for themselves - Victor captured all of the special moments of our wedding beautifully with his high quality work.

Maria did a fantastic job photographing our beach wedding. Everything was perfect from the planning to the execution. She thought of everything and gave us lots of great suggestions and the pictures were absolutely perfect. We have used Maria a number of times for family portraits as well, and she is incredible! Highly recommend!

The Gramercy At Lakeside Manor was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication was quick, easy, and so helpful - Paulina, the bridal attendant, was amazing and made sure everything ran smoothly all night long. The venue itself is truly elegant and classy, providing the ideal canvas for our special day. Dean and Victoria were both so kind and attentive, ensuring that our wedding day was absolutely perfect in every way. We cannot recommend The Gramercy At Lakeside Manor highly enough!

There aren't enough words in this world to describe how thoroughly satisfied we were with The DJ Experience. From the very beginning, they were super responsive when it came to my wants, needs and crazy ideas. Alex was super calming throughout the whole process, ensuring me that everyone would have a good time and to trust him. He did not disappoint. Everyone loved when we danced on the clouds, when I wanted a song mashup made for a special dance with my mom, he made it happen. My guests did not leave the dance floor the whole night. My MC, Darrell was out of this world. Never have I ever met an MC quite like him. He possibly had more energy than me and I have ALOT of energy. I 10/10 recommend using the DJ experience for your party needs. I promise you that you wont be disappointed.

It's taken me a couple months to write this review since getting married at Park Loft in May because I just haven't felt I had the words to adequately express how perfect this venue and their entire team was. Our wedding day exceeded even our own expectations and was absolutely flawless. I expected a little hiccup somewhere along the way, but there were none. The entire team we worked with were true professionals and had the whole process down to a tee. Our director, Allie, was beyond organized and accommodating, helping us throughout the entire planning process. Chef Thomas is incredible and so invested in ensuring all the food was delicious. Everyone who attended went out of their way to tell us it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. If you are considering booking with Park Loft, all I can say is DO IT!! You will not regret it and you and all your guests will be blown away by the all around perfection of Park Loft.
