The space itself is cozy and beautifully designed, with a perfect blend of charm and sophistication that made our gathering feel extra special.

We are committed to creating an awesome place to work while taking great care of each other, our partners and our guests.

Working with Evalyn, Cortney, and the team at Dish was a truly incomparable experience! I had the pleasure of getting to know Dish a few years back at my first job and had told my contact at the time, Bonnie, that I would definitely be back when it was time for me to host my big event - my wedding. After reconnecting with the Dish team, in particular speaking with Evalyn, we couldn't have felt more confident that it was the right fit for our big day. From the personalized menu, to the in house tasting, and the amazing day of coordinator, Cortney, the most important and expensive party we ever threw (and likely ever will) was in the best hands. When any changes or adjustments came up the team was eager to help make our vision come to life. A few weeks before when I wanted to do another itinerary run through, Cortney, was not just game, but so enthusiastic and supportive. As small things came up day of, Evalyn and Cortney were on it and as we were packing up, the whole Dish team helped us pack up and carry out our numerous flower arrangements. We truly couldn't have pulled this off without Dish and are so grateful for their partnership. Thank you, Dish!

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!

Museum of the Moving Image is not your typical wedding venue - which is exactly what we wanted. BG, our venue coordinator was such a pleasure to work with. This was the first venue we visited and instantly knew it was the one for us, a lot of which is down to the level of service BG provided. We had just shy of 100 guests, reception in the main hall, and used the Red Stone Theatre for the ceremony. Our guests LOVED that they had access to the museum throughout the night, it was such a fun and interactive night for them. We're so glad we chose MOMI as our venue and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for something different and quirky, thank you to BG and the whole MOMI team!

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Jamaica, NY

With powerful vocals and original arrangements The Kristin Trotta Wedding Band brings a unique and customized experience to your wedding. Kristin is equally at home belting Aretha blues as she is crooning Christina ballads and impresses with her vocal versatility. Uton’s powerful range and stage presence bring all the entertainment you could ask for. From a killer rhythm section to a stellar presentation, we promise to make your special day memorable and fun for all ages! Contact us here for more information.

Choosing Kristin as part of the live band for our wedding reception was one of the best vendor decisions my husband and I made. From the very beginning, Kristin was incredibly kind and easy to work with. She even learned 5 new songs for us! She learned songs for our first dance, father/daughter dance, mother/son dance, and even learned Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” for me, a huge Swiftie! Kristin performed a whole range of songs, from pop to rock to even some oldies that pleased my older relatives! Everyone at our wedding found a song to dance to by the end of the night. Our guests kept coming up to my husband and I just to say how much they loved the band, but notably, Kristin! Needless to say, Kristin absolutely rocked it and created some special moments that my husband and I will never forget! She came out into the crowd to dance and interact with my two young nieces (ages 4 and 2), who, in turn, instantly became part of the show. We cannot recommend Kristin Trotta and her Wedding Band more highly as a live band for your wedding day. They will for sure make your wedding one to remember!

She is very responsive, easy to work with, and of course, takes beyond beautiful photos. She made our photoshoot feel easy, the pictures came out natural looking, and captured the emotion and energy we had hoped for. If you're looking for a photographer, Tatiana Kiseleva is as good as they come.

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Jamaica, NY

Colby Blount is an award winning fashion and wedding photographer. Born and raised in Georgia and now calls New York home. He loves merging a stylized vision with a photojournalist eye to help tell stories that feel real and authentic.

When my partner and I first saw Colby's work, we knew he was the perfect fit for us. His photographs are romantic and dreamy but still somehow edgy and modern. We reached out to Colby and heard back quickly. We met for coffee to talk about what we were thinking for our wedding. Colby was receptive, professional, patient, and kind through the whole process. When we changed our mind about things, he adapted. He remained calm, cool, and creative through our engagement shoot as well as our wedding day. If Colby had only delivered a few good pictures, we would have been over the moon-- but he absolutely blew us away with our photos. We will cherish these for a lifetime. Cannot recommend him enough!

With this in mind, Cottage Cake Witch strives to honor these moments with cakes that are as beautiful as they are delicious, and as unique as the memories you make with them!

The most important thing to me for my wedding was a cake that tasted DELICIOUS. I was perfectly willing to sacrifice appearance for it. But with Paige at Cottage Cake Witch, you can have both! Her cakes are absolutely GORGEOUS and every single bite is drool-worthy. Highly recommend!

I dropped out of the physics program at Purdue University to pursue graphic design and photography. I fell in love with light; hard light, soft light, warm light, cool light, clean light, dirty light... all the flavors of light. And I fell in love with how the camera captures light and renders an image. For me having a camera in my hand is being home. I hope that feeling comes through in my photography. I look forward to chatting with you about your special day.

Tom Weis Photo was a true pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, his communication style was thoughtful, engaging and fun. The quality of Tom's work is nothing short of expert - the photos are absolutely beautiful, with a perfect blend of classic and experimental styles that captured all the special moments of our day. He was kind and attentive to our friends and family, and fully embraced the unique ideas I had for shots. Tom Weis himself has a wonderful energy and positive vibe that made the whole experience a joy. I would highly recommend him to any couple planning their wedding or for any event. He's simply a great guy who will ensure your memories are beautifully preserved.

If you have visited the Foundry, you know how amazing and beautiful it is, but what you don’t know before you work with them is how responsive and helpful they are once you have committed to them. We had about 130 guests and used the main room for the ceremony, the greenhouse room and space outside for the cocktail hour, the courtyard for the reception dinner, the main room again for the dancing, and the greenhouse room again for the after party (11 to midnight). We also rented the Du Val suite for getting ready, and it was a superb space for the groom’s party and extended family to get ready and hang out and also has the most beautiful garden with city views. Our wedding was absolutely amazing and vindicated our immediate love for the Foundry that we developed the first time we toured it, and the Foundry staff are extremely helpful and kind.

Our wedding turned out to be incredibly beautiful, thanks to a unique venue and execution by its staff. However, that perfect day was almost derailed by the unacceptable pressure campaign to change ceremony locations due to concerns over furniture getting wet. We wanted this review to capture our nearly 20 months of planning with the TWA Hotel. PLANNING PROS: -Variety of spaces -Responsiveness -Flexibility for storing supplies CONS: -No FAQ document -Frustrating room block system -Forgotten menu tasting notification -Lack of communication and contradictory info from the Paris Cafe for rehearsal dinner THE WEDDING PROS: -Organized and accommodating staff -The food, especially the pastrami station and red velvet cake for dessert CONS: -Wrong display with typo on Solaris board in the Sunken Lounge -Our tiered wedding cake wasn’t cut and served even tho there clearly wasn’t enough sheet cake to pass around -The weather “policy”: We were told that we could make a final decision on an outdoor ceremony up until the morning of our wedding, and our point of contact reassured us of this during our final walkthru 2 weeks out. Our contract also secured the Sunken Lounge as the backup option if we chose to move indoors. However, in the final days and hours before our wedding, we were pressured to move our ceremony indoors, despite nearly all weather reports showing clear skies for our 5-6pm ceremony and rain only after 9pm. Our point of contact started questioning our outdoor plans 4-5 days before the wedding, and even met with us multiple times - first in the lobby while we were dropping off supplies 2 days before our wedding, again when we were checking in the next day, and yet again when we were at the pool before our rehearsal dinner, where we had to brush off our guests in order to have a serious meeting. Each time, they told us we needed to make a "final call" now, not the morning-of as we had been told before. After listing their reasons to move the ceremony indoors (which included threatening to release the Sunken Lounge from our backup option, despite what our contract said), the point of contact mentioned that the head manager was concerned about the rain damaging the leather chairs, and then proposed a “solution” of having the ceremony outside, but not setting up any chairs so that our guests would stand for the entire ceremony. It was clear to us that the real reason why we were being pressured was that the manager didn’t want their leather chairs to get wet! We asserted that, unless we were explicitly told we couldn't have our ceremony outside, we would stick with the outdoor option. The morning of our wedding, our day-of coordinator informed us that the venue was insisting they now had a “50% chance of rain policy”, giving them the “right” to change ceremony locations. We immediately forwarded reports from 10 weather sites that all had a chance of rain between 5-7pm at 0-30%. We finally saw chairs being set up outside in the mid-afternoon, and when our ceremony got underway, the clouds parted ways and the sun started shining. CONCLUSION: The TWA Hotel is such a special place to celebrate your wedding! Before you sign the contract, however, understand that you’ll have to stay on top of the planning process, and in cases like ours, fight for what you envision. Make sure the contract spells out any and all promises — there were items that we made sure they honored as it was clear the hotel’s policies had changed since the signing.

IT FEELS LIKE I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A CAMERA IN MY HAND. I GREW UP TAKING PHOTOS ON MY DAD'S OLD CAMERAS AN HAVING AN IMPROVISED STUDIO FOR DEVELOPING OLD FILMS WAS GREAT. WHEN I WAS 15 MY DAD BOUGHT ME A CAMERA AND I QUICKLY FELT IN LOVE WITH THE ABILITY TO CAPTURE MEMORIES AND FREEZE MOMENTS IN TIME. A FEW YEARS LATER, I AM A PHOTOGRAPHER BASED IN NEW YORK CITY BUT THAT LOVE FOR CAPTURING AUTHENTIC MOMENTS WITH REAL PEOPLE HAS NOT CHANGED. IT'S JUST AMAZING HOW A PASSION FOR PHOTOGRAPHY TURNED OUT TO BE MY DAILY JOB. I AM REALLY BLESSED EVERY MINUTE OF MY LIFE. I HAVE MANY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE NOW.

Brittany was such a pleasure to work with. Not only was she an incredible make up artist for my bridal party, she also made the getting ready experience fun and easy going. She was able to doll up 5 different women, all with different skin and preferences. Each person in my bridal party left looking so beautiful and polished, I couldn’t have asked for better glam from Brittany! Her skin prep was on point, she used top of the line products for both skin prep and makeup. And I cannot fail to mention that she is truly an amazing person. She connected with all of us, checking in with us along the way making sure we were comfortable with her services. My mother and MiL felt so at ease with her, and it was so emotional to see how beautiful they looked. We all looked fabulous, I can’t wait to get glammed up by her again in the future.

To date, there are only two images of me as a child. The first is my passport photo at the age of 1.5 months, the second is an image of me at the age of 8. Because of this, I have a deeper understanding, value and passion for photographs and imagery. With that said, I purchased my first camera at the age of 16 with my first paycheck! (used to flip burgers at a local Roy Rogers!). With that camera, I quickly learned how much I loved the art of documenting life with imagery and in 2012, I left a 16 year career in healthcare to follow my dream of becoming a photographer. I haven't looked back one day since then.

•down to earth •always cheerful •in love with her job •hits her deadlines •knows the ins&outs of the business •Never fails the meet product expectations The only thing you might love more than Nidji's work Is Nidji. She's a pleasure for both her clients and co-vendors. Wedding planning is stressful on every level, even after you've got your ducks in order. With Nidji, you can leave at least that bit of it on the floor.
