Inspired by the creativity and energy of the Whitechapel District of London, this versatile venue strives to redefine how art permeates our daily life– be it through food, drink, performances, events, and other forms of artistic expression. The Whitechapel Projects was developed in a 120 year Warehouse complex through an environmentally friendly construction process called adaptive reuse. Adaptive reuse takes a structure that has outlived its usefulness, deconstructs it, and rebirths it using its original construction material. During the deconstruction process, we harvested 72,000 bricks, over 3 tons of timbers, tin ceilings, doors, pipes and even plywood. The harvested material was used in the reconstruction process to pave the courtyard, build walls, furniture, bars, tables , tap handles, and more.

Hitched! By Harper is where unforgettable ceremonies meet authentic storytelling. I’m a firefighter-turned-award-winning officiant who crafts one-of-a-kind wedding experiences rooted in joy, meaning, and a touch of humor. Since 2010, I’ve helped couples of all backgrounds feel seen, celebrated, and totally at ease on their big day. Every ceremony is written from scratch to reflect your vibe, your values, and your story—not a template in sight.

My fiancé and I had Kevin officiate our wedding in August of 2025, and it was one of the best wedding decisions we made in the whole process! We were struggling on who we wanted to officiate our non-denominational ceremony, and with one month until our wedding day we found multiple recommendations for Hitched by Harper. The process was so easy, and for not knowing him personally, we had no less than 10 people on our wedding day asking something to the affect of “the officiant was amazing and personable, how did you know each other” and we actually had a friend book him for a wedding shortly after! Kevin was beyond impressive and we would recommend him and his services to anyone! If I could give this more than 5 stars I would.

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 and her team did an absolutely amazing job on our wedding day — I have never felt more beautiful in my entire life! From the moment I saw myself in the mirror, I knew the day was going to be everything I dreamed of. Every bridesmaid and family member looked stunning too, and it shows in every single photo. The pictures are breathtaking, all thanks to the incredible artistry of Chrys and her team. Chrys ended up staying late and doing a second hair look for me and touch ups while I was doing my pictures, that extra effort meant more than words can say. It’s those little details that turned an already perfect day into something truly unforgettable. If you want a makeup and hair team that is talented, patient, and puts their whole heart into their work, book Chrys. You will not regret it!

As time came closer, Summer was diligent at working with us on the details for the day-of, and then a few days before the wedding we confirmed everything with Edwin, our assigned videographer.

Jenn was easy to work with. I was able to communicate with her as much as I needed. She provided me 2 services, bridal makeup and content creation (with Roslynn) and they both turned out awesome. I’m a very picky person with my makeup since I do mine all the time and she definitely understood the style I wanted as well as all my girls loved their makeup as well.

This is what dreams are made of. When I was a little girl, I had big dreams about what my future wedding would look like. As I got older and realized how much everything costs, I started to think my dream wedding would stay just that—a dream. But one thing never changed: I always wanted to get married in a little white chapel and walk down the aisle to the sound of a violin. Petya made that dream come true. From the moment I first reached out to her, we instantly connected. I knew, without a doubt, that no matter where we ended up getting married, she had to be a part of it. I’d listen to her music on YouTube and just melt. She’s cheerful yet calming, incredibly talented, and truly helped put me at ease throughout the process. The morning of my wedding was stressful, but Petya texted me with encouragement, lifting my spirits and getting me excited for the day ahead. Guests even told me how beautiful the atmosphere was as they waited for my arrival—all because of the ambiance she created through her music. As the church doors opened and I saw my soon-to-be husband standing at the altar, the sound of Petya’s violin made it feel like I was walking into a dream. I couldn’t see anyone else—it was as if her melody was wrapping around just the two of us. It might sound dramatic, but we had a very Christian ceremony, and we asked her to play worship music. It made the moment feel sacred, like God’s presence was truly among us. At the end of the ceremony, I ran up to her and couldn’t help but gush about how incredible she was. She gave us our fairytale moment.

At the heart of every wedding is the same beautiful truth: two people choosing each other. We believe deeply that love is love, and every couple deserves to feel seen, celebrated, and safe on one of the most meaningful days of their lives. Our work is rooted in respect, compassion, and equality—because love does not look one way, and it does not belong to only some. We are honored to document love stories in all their forms and to create space where every couple feels welcomed, supported, and genuinely celebrated.

To say I love my photographer would be an understatement. Our special day was thrown together in 6 weeks, but you couldn’t tell by looking at our pictures. Lauren took the time to speak with me about the moments that were most important to me, and why. After explaining to her that my father had cancer and his diagnosis was a big part of our rush, she made it her mission to capture every smile every tear every dance and every look my husband and I shared, and my father shared with everyone in attendance, especially me. She set up the first look between my husband son and I, she understood my vision and my need to be different, her artistic eye and attention to detail turned a broken down roadside stand into the perfect fall/Halloween backdrop for our first look. When it came time for my father to see me, before our guest, she set him up, back turned and captured every smile, and every tear he and shared in that moment. She created memories for myself, my husband and our family, and froze them in time with pictures that I will always treasure, and I couldn’t be happier and anymore grateful for how much love and dedication she poured into making sure our special day and every moment of it was captured

Being able to look back, remember the great laughs, and reminisce a particular night is what we all look forward to. Our goal is to help everyone remember one of the best nights by telling your story through our eyes. There is no better compliment than for you to show your loved ones what happened through one of the best days of your lives.

Victor with Victory Photographs was a lifesaver after we had issues with our original photographer and had to find a replacement. He was responsive, kind, and respectful in all of our communications leading up to the big day. 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. My husband and I felt relieved knowing we were in good hands with Victor. We'd highly recommend him to any couple looking for a talented, professional photographer who also makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera.

Hello! My name is Ashley and I am a licensed hair & makeup artist located in central Nj. I’ve been doing wedding/event glam for 12 years. I have a cosmetology license and four makeup certifications. I was a makeup teacher for a couple of years and I genuinely love what I do. The best part of my job is being apart of someone’s special day or event. I hope we get the chance to work together!

Awarded Best of Zola
Borello Beauty was a fantastic choice for our wedding beauty needs. Their communication was quick and responsive. The quality of their makeup was beautiful, long-lasting, and was a great value. I felt absolutely stunning on my wedding day, and my mother who was concerned about her makeup on her more mature features was thrilled with the results as well. Borello Beauty truly helped make our special day even more perfect. I highly recommend them to any couple looking for a reliable and talented beauty team.

We recently celebrated my dearest friend’s 60th birthday and hired Noelia from Tastefully Done Events to create an in-home wine and cheese pairing experience for 12 guests — and it was absolutely fabulous from start to finish. Noelia curated a beautifully balanced selection of wines and perfectly paired cheeses that felt both sophisticated and approachable. Each pairing was thoughtfully explained, making the experience engaging and interactive without ever feeling formal or overwhelming. Her knowledge, warmth, and attention to detail elevated the entire evening. The presentation was stunning, the flavors were exceptional, and everything was seamlessly executed in the comfort of our home. It created such an intimate and memorable atmosphere for a milestone celebration.
