“From the moment my husband and I stepped foot into Liberty House, we knew we had found our dream wedding venue. The communication with the staff, led by the wonderful Danielle, was impeccable - they went above and beyond to ensure our special day was nothing short of perfect. The level of care and attention they provided made me feel like the most important bride they had ever seen.

“Our wedding on May 1, 2026 was truly the best day of our lives, and the entire Hudson House team exceeded every expectation we had. We had a bit of a rocky start during the initial booking process, but once Elena, the General Manager, stepped in and connected us with Gabriel, the Director, everything became seamless. From that point forward, we felt completely taken care of. The food tasting alone was an experience unlike anything we've ever seen. It was an incredible feast and gave us a firsthand look at how Hudson House executes events and the level of service they provide. The food was absolutely outstanding, and our guests are still talking about it weeks later. One of the things that made our wedding feel extra special was having the second-floor room available for cocktail hour instead of the overlook above the reception space. While both spaces are beautiful, having a completely separate floor created such an incredible guest experience. Many guests thought the cocktail hour space was the reception itself, only to be amazed when they discovered there was another floor for dinner and dancing, followed by the Stork Club for the after-party. Everyone loved the progression of the evening and how each part of the celebration had its own unique space. The cocktail hour was truly next level. We received countless compliments about the amount of food and the variety of stations. Guests repeatedly told us they had never seen so many options at a wedding. One detail that made a huge impact was having our signature his-and-hers drinks already waiting for guests as they entered cocktail hour. People loved being able to grab a drink immediately instead of standing in line at the bar, and it was one of the most complimented touches of the night. What impressed us most, though, was the service. Every single staff member was warm, friendly, attentive, and accommodating. If a guest needed something, it was handled immediately. The professionalism and hospitality were truly exceptional. A special thank you goes to Maya, my bridal attendant, who was absolutely incredible from start to finish. She was by my side all day, constantly making sure I had water, checking on me, helping me stay hydrated, and ensuring I had everything I needed. She even helped clean the dirt off the train of my dress after photos. Maya was calm, thoughtful, diligent, and genuinely cared about making my day perfect. Before we left, she made sure all of our belongings were packed and organized, and she carefully packed up the food and cake I requested to take home since I knew I probably wouldn't get a chance to eat much during the wedding. Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy so many of the amazing dishes once we got back to our hotel. Gabriel was equally incredible throughout the night. Anytime I noticed something that needed attention, no matter how small, he addressed it immediately. Knowing he was there overseeing everything allowed us to relax and fully enjoy our wedding day. Hudson House delivered beyond our wildest dreams. The venue is stunning, the food is phenomenal, the service is unmatched, and the entire team genuinely cares about creating an unforgettable experience. Everything ran so smoothly that we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment. The only downside is that the day goes by way too fast. We honestly wish we could do it all over again. We cannot recommend Hudson House enough.”

“There are not enough stars to give Ivy Thomas and The View at Lincoln Park the review they deserve. Our wedding was everything we had hoped for and more, and so much of that was because of Ivy and the incredible team around her. I’m Jewish and grew up attending weddings at country clubs on Long Island, so I came into our wedding with very high expectations for the setting, food, and service. The View lived up to those expectations and exceeded them. With 180 guests, ours was one of their larger weddings, and they handled it beautifully. Everything felt seamless, and the level of attention and care was incredible. The venue looked absolutely gorgeous. The ceremony room with our chuppah was stunning, and the reception room was breathtaking. Seeing those spaces transformed into everything we had envisioned was such an emotional, unforgettable moment. We also held our after-party upstairs on the rooftop, and Ivy made the indoor space up there look so beautiful, too. She put care into every part of the celebration, right through the end of the night. The food was delicious, from cocktail hour through dinner. Ivy made sure the appetizers came out hot and kept flowing out of the kitchen throughout cocktail hour. Our friends raved about them, and it was so wonderful to hear how much everyone enjoyed the food. She also made sure they had all the right ingredients for our signature drinks—one of the many thoughtful details that made the celebration feel so personal to us. Ivy deserves endless praise. Throughout the planning process, she stayed in close communication with both us and my dad, making sure every detail was understood and that we had everything we wanted. She was responsive, attentive, and so wonderful to work with. She listened to what mattered to us, understood our vision, and went above and beyond to bring it all to life. She made us feel that our wedding mattered to her personally, and having someone who cared that much and followed through so completely meant the world to us. The entire staff was amazing—warm, attentive, and on top of everything. And Jude, our bridal attendant, was absolutely unreal. The care and attention Jude gave us made us feel so supported and allowed us to relax and enjoy our day. Ivy, Jude, and everyone at The View at Lincoln Park: thank you for giving us such a beautiful celebration and for taking such incredible care of us and our guests. Our wedding was perfect for us, and we would choose you all over again in a heartbeat.”

“Evelyn did our engagement and wedding photos; we couldn't be happier with her work! She was prompt and communicative throughout the booking, asking important questions and being flexible with our plans and needs throughout the whole process. The platform to coordinate payment and view photos were so easy to use. When taking photos, Evelyn brought a sense of calm and fun that made it easy to be comfortable and guided. Neither of us had been photographed before, so we were nervous about posing or interacting with the camera. Evelyn was perfect in giving instruction, offering ideas about poses, and letting us say yes or no if it wasn't our style. She put us at ease while she chatted with us about her and asked questions about our life relationship - it's so easy to bond with her about living in New York City and loving our dogs! Most importantly, she captured the candid moments and closeups of the little details of our day and kept snapping shots that were a true reflection of the spirit of our relationship. When we received our photos, we were blown away at how EVERY photo in our gallery was one that we would print right away! Even our formal photos with family included some candids that made us laugh and smile! She took so many pictures and you can tell she put so much thought into choosing and editing photos to tell the story of our wedding day. Everyone at our wedding said she was polite, kind, and a welcome presence at our intimate ceremony. We could not agree more and would wholeheartedly recommend EHR Photography to anyone who wants a true professional and artist. Thank you Evelyn!!!”

  • Beauty professional

Currently based in Jersey City, born & raised in Mumbai, India, my love for henna was cultivated in my own house. My best friend, my mom, once used to teach henna to 40 girls when I was in her womb and she introduced and taught me this beautiful form of art. A practicing Interior Designer by profession, I took up doing henna after moving to USA in late 2017. I got a professional advanced bridal certificate course done from Mumbai, thereafter to upscale and polish my skills.

“We hired Hiral and her partner Nancy for our Mehendi and Sangeet. Their henna work was beautiful - for myself (the bride) and our guests - and was a hit at both events! She provided clear aftercare instructions, and the stain turned out dark and long-lasting. They were punctual, professional, and so sweet. I highly recommend them for any wedding events or celebrations.”

Hi there! I’m Djaniella (or dj for short). I love storytelling, adventures, and creating connections with people. I’m attracted to a meaningful image, and being able to relive that moment in my mind. A coffee shop and an ice cream parlor is always on my list whenever I visit a new town.

Let’s work with each other :)

“We had such an amazing experience with Djaniella. What drew us to her was the sense of character and warmth in her photography. From the start, she was very thoughtful and attentive to our vision. It was clear that not only did she want to provide us with beautiful photos, but she also wanted to give us photos that captured our personalities and our relationship. We are a bit of a goofy couple, so her ability to both have fun with us but also remain professional and bring out more serious shots was very important. She made what could, at times, feel awkward much more comfortable by providing clear direction and feedback. I appreciated how she checked in to see what our favorite photos from our engagement shoot were to better understand our preferences before the wedding. After a medical emergency at our wedding, she was also very kind and generous with her time, staying an extra hour to capture more of our reception. We would absolutely work with her again given the chance—she’s really great!”

Based in Jersey City, I've been photographing weddings since 2010. I have two degrees in photography and wouldn't change a moment of what I do or how I got here. I spent 5 years producing celebrity photo shoots for magazines like Time Out and InStyle, so keeping cool under fast-paced pressure is kind of my thing.

“I honestly don’t have enough words to thank Lauren and her team for her beautiful photography. Booking her was by far the best investment we made for our wedding day—Lauren is worth the splurge no matter your budget. We wanted to curate a very specific vibe for our wedding, and Lauren understood it immediately. That’s because she has the innate ability to capture moments that no one else even sees. She is a people person through and through, and you can tell in the way her pictures come out. What could be a stagnant portrait, Lauren can turn into a stunning piece of art that evokes not just a specific vibe and mood but also emotion. Also as someone who has some insecurities about being photographed, I was blown away by how beautiful I looked in her photos. I’m incredibly grateful for her eye and dedication to making those beautiful photos. Not only that, but being around Lauren is a joy. She is so good at making sure everyone is comfortable enough to be photographed—and even includes a complimentary engagement shoot to get familiar with her before the big day (which is also so thoughtful and smart!). We had a few wedding challenges (a gigantic bridal party with 16! bridesmaids! and in-laws who were meeting for the first time at the wedding to start with!), and Lauren made sure she knew what she was walking into beforehand to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible on the day of. And it really really did. As a queer wedding with two brides, it was also really important to both of us to feel like superstars on our special day, and Lauren delivered that in spades. When we told her we wanted to have two aisles and walk down simultaneously, she was more than game for the challenge—she was excited. Finally, beyond her delightful personality, thoughtfulness, and extreme talent—Lauren is responsible for the success of our wedding. She sent us a list of recommended vendors, and we went with most of them. It was such a relief to have vendors pre-vetted by someone who had worked with them multiple times, and each one turned out to be just as good as she said they were. If you are looking for a photographer to capture your wedding, you will not be disappointed with Lauren!”

“We were so lucky to find and connect with Kim for our wedding photos. Planning it for the 3rd time – yes, we are one of those pandemic couples – we were so nervous about having to find someone quickly that we liked. Pictures were one of our top priorities and we were very picky about achieving the right style. Kim hit it out of the park on all fronts. Not only is she ridiculously talented, but she was a breeze to work with from beginning to end. She is extremely kind, attentive, and accommodating. She offered us a last-minute engagement shoot so that we could meet her and to get us comfortable in front of the camera. This was so helpful for us and made shooting for the wedding much easier and relaxing. She also stayed longer than planned to get those few extra special shots walking around SoHo. When we saw our engagement photos, we knew we made the right decision. On the day of, it was important to us to incorporate our home, neighborhood, and adorable pup in our photos. Kim was super flexible and thoughtful of how to do this. She totally leaned in when I wanted to walk to Washington Sq Park for our first look, where we got the “free hugs” guy to take photos with us, then hopped into a yellow cab to the venue. Kim kept us moving and made the best use of the time we had, which was super helpful since we didn’t have a wedding coordinator. The whole day turned out to be perfect and Kim captured it all for us. Every person who has seen our proof book has said “how are you going to choose? They are all amazing…” and I couldn’t agree more! We can’t wait to work with her again.”

“I seriously could not have asked for a better hair and makeup artist! From start to finish, Jenn and her team were incredibly responsive, warm, friendly, and easy to connect with. She listened attentively, was receptive to my feedback, and truly understood my vision. On my wedding day, Jenn made me feel so special, not just because of how stunning my hair and makeup turned out, but also because of her calm and positive presence. I felt absolutely beautiful, and I’m so beyond grateful for her. I would recommend the Abstract Beauty team over and over again!”

I'm devoted to telling love stories that feel as authentic and layered as the people living them. I believe love is love, and every human deserves to feel seen, safe, and celebrated.

“Working with Giselle for our branding shoot was a transformative experience. Her brain truly works differently than anyone else’s in the industry—she sees angles, lighting, and creative possibilities that others completely miss. She has this 'insane' level of creativity that feels like a superpower. Throughout the process, she fixated on every single detail to ensure it was absolutely perfect. This same meticulous eye makes her wedding photography breathtaking; she captures the raw, beautiful moments of a wedding day with the same precision and artistic flair she brings to a high-end brand. If you want someone who doesn't just take photos but actually elevates your brand or wedding through a unique lens, Giselle is the one. We are so proud to have her on our preferred vendor list in addition to becoming our good friend.”

Hi! I’m Stan, a professional photographer based in Northern New Jersey. I’ve been photographing weddings around the world for 15 years. I love creating timeless photos with a classic European style. Just be yourselves and enjoy the day - I’ll capture the good stuff and step in when you need a little direction. No pressure, no awkward stuff. Just great photos of a great day.

“We hired Stan for our Boston City Hall wedding photo shoot. The ceremony was supposed to be quick and we wanted a photographer who knew how to work the area and if not could figure out ways to capture the short moments as much and as best as possible. Stan was very quick to respond when we engaged. While it seems like he has few engagements, we looked past it because his portfolio showed great composition, mood, and lighting skills. We were not disappointed. Stan is quite creative and finds ways to work with the subjects and the surroundings. He was punctual, did his research of the area, and showed up 30 minutes before we did to scope the area for the day. During the photo shoots, he was very active in directing us to the best angles and also engaging with us to see if we had ideas. Often running ahead and moving from angle to angle, you could tell he was dedicated to producing good work. Stan had some locations picked up including some he thought would be an interesting shot to experiment with and it all turned out great. We would have spent the whole day taking pictures with him but unfortunately, had dinner plans right after the wedding. We enjoyed the photo shoot and working with Stan and couldn't recommend him enough. He is probably one of the best on the platform! Attached are some examples of the work that he produced.”

Hi my name is Cristian M. Velez, I am the lead cinematographer and owner at Cinemarvelfilms. All started when I got one of my first cameras over 10 years ago, and began filming my daughter's life from birth all the way until she was 7 years old. When I edited all of the short clips together to create a film capturing her first seven years of life, my passion for crafting memories and telling stories through video began.

“I would highly recommend choosing Cristian and Cinemarvelfilms for your wedding video. He was so kind through the entire process. He worked with us on short notice while we had to switch our plans due to COVID. Our videos came out beautiful!!! We couldn’t have asked for anything better! We’re so lucky to have these treasured videos to remember our day thanks to Cinemarvelfilms! Thank you!”

“Working with Hannah for our first dance was easily one of the best parts of our wedding planning. We miss it and will continue to take classes even after the wedding!! Neither of us came in as dancers, but Hannah made us feel excited and ready to go from day one. She created choreography that felt natural, elegant, and like us – and were moves that we were able to learn to do well. She always took the time and attention to make sure she was teaching us in a way we were able to understand and execute on. We were always so excited to go to dance class. On our wedding day, we were SO excited to for our dance instead of feeling nervous and our guests were so impressed. She helped us create the most wonderful memory, made the entire process super fun, and made sure we were prepared when wedding day came. Love Hannah and absolutely 100000% recommend working with her!!!!”
