From our engagement photos to our wedding day, working with Jason has been one of the best decisions we made. He truly took the time to get to know us as a couple, understand our vision, and bring it to life so beautifully through every photo. Jason works so meticulously and efficiently, yet always made us feel comfortable, calm, and genuinely cared for throughout the entire process. His warmth, kindness, and presence made him feel less like a photographer and more like family. Every photo captured so much emotion, love, and the little moments we never want to forget.

I was deciding between Glam Beauty and another vendor, and let me just say—I am so incredibly happy I chose Denise and her team. Not only did they absolutely glam me up and make me feel my best, but they were also such a pleasure to work with. From start to finish, everything felt easy, smooth, and stress-free. What really stood out was the energy they brought. Our conversations were full of laughter and fun, which made the entire getting-ready process even more special. It didn’t feel rushed or overwhelming at all—they created such a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere. And I have to add—when I first tried to explain what I wanted, I definitely didn’t say it in the most polished way. I’m pretty sure I even growled because I was going for a “sexy, grrr-meow” vibe—and somehow, Denise and her team completely understood the assignment. Not only did they get it, they went above and beyond to bring that vision to life perfectly. Denise and her team are not only talented, but also kind, professional, and genuinely great people to be around on such an important day. I highly recommend them—you will be so happy you chose them!

My husband and I got married on 6/15/2024. I handled majority of our wedding planning, but as an OCD bride, my biggest anxiety was not being able to be hands on for the day of our wedding. Everyone was telling me that as the bride I had to enjoy my wedding day, but all I could think about was “I need to make sure everything goes exactly the way I’ve been planning it for the last year and a half”. That’s when I knew I needed a day of coordinator. I came across Star Rose Creations and I’m SO happy that I did. Miranda and Kylie are absolutely gems!! They are both so professional, caring, and understanding. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. From the initial meeting, to creating timelines for the day of, to making sure that everything was setup the way my floor plan showed, to handling the vendors, to making sure we kept on schedule for the ceremony and reception… I mean they handled it all! And most importantly, they kept me smiling which helped to keep my tears at bay on the happiest day of my life! I can’t tell you how happy I was to have them both there on our wedding day! Even our bridal party talked about them after our wedding and how impressed they were that Miranda and Kylie were so attentive to my husband and I. Trust me, if you book with Star Rose Creations you won’t be disappointed!!

We're a husband/wife photography duo. We're college sweethearts and we're currently expecting our first child in June 2021! We are so happy to be in this business but we didn’t always know we’d become wedding photographers. Seth spent about 10 years in video production (aka the equipment expert) and Nicole is an advertising art director (aka the artsy perfectionist).

Seth was so wonderful to work with. He was generous with his time, taking our ideas and bringing in his own, and shooting both engagement and wedding photos that truly exceeded our expectations. He and his team are kind, genuine people who are easy to communicate with and who we loved spending our wedding day with. We are so, so grateful and recommend Hyde Photography to anyone! We can’t wait to show our kids these photos someday. ️

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

Omg where do I even begin??! Nicole is a master of her craft. I reached out in December 2022 for my May 5, 2024 wedding and I knew after our first phone call that she was the one I wanted designing my flowers and centerpieces. We instantly clicked and she knew exactly what I was envisioning and how to get us there. All throughout the process she kept me involved and was constantly making sure it’s what I wanted. Even though I knew what colors she was going with I was still left absolutely speechless when my bouquets were delivered to my hotel room the morning of. And when I walked into the venue and saw the centerpieces I was in awe. Like she blew it out of the water. Nicole is one of the most kind hearted, beautiful people I’ve met throughout my whole wedding planning process and even in my life and I’m beyond grateful for her. Thank you Nicole for making our wedding so special and memorable!!

We cannot say enough great things about Nicholas Yee and his incredible team! Literally from the very beginning, he demonstrated unparalleled professionalism - answering all of our emails super quickly, and taking the time to ensure every detail was covered. He worked with us to create a personalized timeline that made our day run SEAMLESSLY. Most of our vendors worked off his timeline. This allowed us to focus on the joy of the moment without worrying about logistics. He’s also just a great person overall - we felt like we were talking to an old friend. :) What truly sets Nicholas Yee apart is his eye for capturing not only the big, emotional moments but also the quiet, loving exchanges and the spontaneous moments of levity that made our wedding day uniquely ours. We were blown away by the pictures and the moments he captured. We can only really describe the pictures as breathtakingly “cinematic.” 10/10!!! On top of his artistry, his organizational skills were impeccable. He efficiently coordinated all of the family and wedding party photos with incredible time management, ensuring everything was done quickly and beautifully. He budgeted extra time in the timeline for delays which was most appreciated! This allowed us to maximize time with our guests and enjoy the celebration while still getting every shot we had hoped for—and then some! If you are looking for a photographer who is professional, organized, funny, and, above all, an artist who can tell the story of your day with authenticity and heart, then book Nicholas Yee and his team.

EMG has been providing the highest level of service in event entertainment for over 30 years, and our experience has taught us to prioritize two things above all else: Event Talent + Customer Service. We pride ourselves on creating spectacular and immersive experiences.

We loved everything about EMG for our July 2025 wedding. The process of meeting and setting up a contract was easy and efficient. It was a completely tailored experience and did not feel rushed or pushed at all. He gave great recommendations and really understood what our vibe was for 115 guests. We went with an acoustic guitar player for ceremony, electric guitar cocktail hour and reception along with a DJ (Josuel lead) for the reception. We also had the photo station Photo Booth which was perfect for the setting. However our biggest compliments go to Josuel who was our lead DJ. He was organized, prepared and had an excellent presence and composure. He even sorted our last minute changes with the venues matre de because we and guests were taking too long at cocktail hour.. he figured out little changes so I didn’t have to! Above and beyond. Also he had everyone and I mean everyone dancing the whole night to a blend of 80s rock, 90s pop 2000s alt.. it was just perfect. Cannot say thank you enough to him and the whole EMG group.

We hired Sarah for her services roughly a year out from our wedding. From the start, Sarah was extremely responsive and helped answer all my questions. During this time, we had selected a majority of our vendors but we needed Sarah's expertise in organizing our long to-do list, logistics and design ideas. A majority of our guests were traveling to our wedding so the logistics of how the weekend looked was very important to us as a couple. Sarah seamlessly was able to put together a plan to ensure that we were thinking of every detail needed to get our guests from point A to point B and back. During the weekend of the wedding, Sarah and her team were on top of every detail and that allowed myself and my husband to focus on enjoying the celebration. Sarah's ability to remain calm and handle any challenge that comes her way from vendors is truly an asset that anyone will want for their wedding weekend.

We had our New Year’s Eve wedding in the Liberty House ballroom, and it was truly everything we dreamed of and more. From start to finish, the experience was great. Our event stylist, Sarah, was amazing and played such a huge role in bringing our vision to life. I had a lot of ideas (some a bit outside the box!), and Liberty House worked with us to thoughtfully incorporate them into our wedding and our budget, including espresso martini shots on the dance floor, which was such a fun and memorable moment for our guests. The food was outstanding, especially cocktail hour. Guests are still talking about it. The pasta station was a crowd favorite, and we added the sushi station, which was an absolute hit as well. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. The views alone are unbeatable. We had the most stunning Manhattan skyline backdrop at a much better price than venues actually in Manhattan or nearby. Another huge plus was being able to decorate the ceiling of the ballroom, which completely elevated the space. We used Liberty House’s preferred florist, JR Floral Designs, and absolutely loved working with them. Communication throughout the planning process was great. One thing to note is that Liberty House is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so depending on when you email, there may be a short wait for a response but once they’re back, they are responsive and helpful. The week of the wedding, we were able to drop off all of our décor and personal details, which made the wedding day itself so smooth and stress-free. While there isn’t a traditional getting-ready suite, there is a small room to store belongings, enjoy a private cocktail hour, and a private restroom. I personally got ready at a suite at the Hyatt House and took an Uber over, which worked out perfectly. Overall, Liberty House exceeded our expectations in every way. Between the views, the food, the flexibility, and the incredible team, we couldn’t imagine a better place to have celebrated our wedding — especially on NYE. Highly recommend!

WOW, what a night. There are truly no words to describe how incredible our wedding was this weekend (10.11.25). Your team has been an absolute joy to work with ever since our very first tour with Katherine in Spring 2024 (and my phone call with Danielle during that wild NJ earthquake!!). The venue (and every corner of it!) is spectacularly beautiful, and the hospitality and service from every single person were beyond extraordinary. As a family-owned venue, we immediately felt at home, like we were part of your family too. From the coordination and organization of every detail, big and small, to the care and creativity that went into the floral planning and design, to your flexibility and patience with our last-minute questions and changes, every part of the experience was seamless. And the ultimate execution: the food, service, flowers, ceremony, reception, and the flow of the entire day and night, it could not have been more perfect!! The feedback from our guests has been unanimously glowing. So many people have said it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended, and everyone was in absolute awe of the beauty and magic of Crossed Keys Estate, just like we were. It was truly the best day and night of our lives, and it’s all thanks to you and your incredible team. Choosing Crossed Keys was hands down the best decision we made, we only wish we could do it all over again! With love and endless gratitude!

Fernando at Blanc Noir Event Group was one of the best hiring decisions for our wedding! Our friends and family are still raving to us about what a great time they had. We danced the WHOLE night and the “hora loca” blew everyone’s minds. Fernando also incorporated our song requests seamlessly, ensuring the vibe was right before playing anything. Given that it was a bilingual wedding, he also ensured that both languages were incorporated so everyone felt included and it wasn’t overwhelming on either side. I appreciated that a whole lot. He played a major role in making our wedding the most fun wedding, and was a pleasure to work with, and highly professional.

When my fiancé and I got engaged 2 and half years ago I thought I had everything under control. I Hired all my big vendors, purchased my wedding dress. Then I met Natalie during my SIL’s wedding when my bridesmaid dress was mistakenly not hemmed. Natalie, like a super hero, came through with a no big deal mentality. She quick stitched it right up (5 inches) and I knew right then, that I needed to draft her on our amazing vendor list! Leading up to our wedding we had virtual meetings monthly. Setting the timeline for the day, making sure we had everything. Without a doubt Natalie was that girl! She was so friendly and easy to talk with! One big take away was she is a quick problem solver! Even I f you don’t think you need a wedding coordinator (which is what I thought) trust me you do!! Natalie made everything so effortless for me. All I had to do was enjoy my big day! I will forever recommend her services to anyone planning on forever with their person!

I'm Angelica, the owner of Dawnpoint Studios! I'm an adventurous and internationally requested wedding/elopement photographer with a focus on sustainability! Here's an unexpected fact - I hated weddings when I first started second shooting them. It broke my heart to see couples being rushed, overwhelmed, and not truly having any connection to couples. That's what drove my passion to breath a fresh air into the wedding experience! Plan with intention, focus on being present, and building genuine relationships with couples! You should be heard, appreciated, and understood. You should feel encouraged to get married your way.

Read for my true heartfelt experience with Angelica at Dawnpoint, but in short - hire her. This should be the easiest decision you make in your wedding planning journey. I came across Dawnpoint after she documented the wedding of someone I know. Those pictures felt so authentic and real. They took me right to the event and made me feel so much. I knew I needed to meet her. From my initial zoom meeting with Angelica, we hit it off. I said I wanted to get the best views in our pictures. She was on board right away. For our engagement pictures, she took us on a hike. Chris and I showed up in hiking gear with our formal wear in our packs. So did Angelica. This may seem so minuscule but for two people who had never been photographed and just wanted someone to make them feel comfortable and to capture something real, this made us trust her from the get go. Needless to say, those pictures were amazing. We even used them for our save the dates! Fast forward to our wedding day in Lake Placid on June 15, 2024. My goals were ambitious but Angelica was on board every step of the way. From creating the timeline to executing the plan the day of, it was the least stressful part of our day. What I loved most was that she listened to my vision and incorporated it in everything she did that day. I even forgot that I wanted a specific picture of my dress, but she definitely did not. When I was getting ready, she had my bridal party share personal stories of us and it was so sweet, I felt so connected to the people closest to me that day and it helped me stay grounded and present from the beginning. For our first look, we wanted to meet at the top of Whiteface Mountain. This was 40 minutes away from our venue and logistically a lot of things could go wrong. Yet, Angelica was a smiling face reassuring me that we could do it. Everything from asking for us to skip the elevator line, to clearing the space on Whiteface for Chris and I to get our moment. I was and remain truly speechless of how she actually made this happen. The pictures speak for themselves. After, we returned to our venue and without delay resumed with a first look with my dad (which I added last minute and was meeted with so much excitement from Angelica). One of my favorite parts was golden hour pictures. I take zero credit here. This was Angelica’s idea and I am so thankful. It was a truly beautiful and authentic experience to photograph the newly wed joy I felt. This is just one of so many ways in which Angelica showed that she was as present and invested in our day as we were. After receiving my sneak preview pictures, I was honestly met with so much emotion. I was brought right back to each moment and exactly how I was feeling. I am truly blown away because if anyone can get a picture to tell a thousand words, it is Angelica. She perfectly captured our day and was the single most best decision I made that day. Unsolicited feedback from my guests: “Your photographer smiled the entire night! She looked like she was having so much fun!” This was feedback I got multiple times and it goes to show much Angelica loves her job! P.S. Jake, her second shooter, was also an absolute pleasure. Together, their energy was infectious.
