  • Starts at $2,000

Je T’aime Weddings will be there for you. a NJ and FL based planning company- We follow a client-centered approach for a personal planning experience. From timelines and to-do lists, vendor coordination & venue design, our detail oriented professionals can assist with every aspect of your wedding. Our goal is to provide you with an elegant planning experience that showcases your timeless love story through a seamless wedding day. Throughout the process many of our clients start to feel like family and we've been told the same by many of them!

Hiring Alex from Je T’aime was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. I booked her after choosing Renault Winery, and I had heard from other brides that she was a must—especially since the venue’s day-of coordination can be a bit limited. Alex not only does so many weddings at Renault, but she was also a bride there herself, so she truly knows every detail, every person, and all the best practices for the venue. I can confidently say those brides were 100% right—Alex made the entire day run so smoothly. She handled everything with such poise and a calm, steady presence, which I appreciated more than anything. At no point did anything feel chaotic or stressful. She kept everything on track, facilitated the entire day seamlessly, and made sure every detail was executed perfectly. Leading up to the wedding, we were in constant communication. She connected with all of my vendors, ensured everyone was aligned, and made me feel completely prepared going into the day. If you’re getting married at Renault Winery (or anywhere!), I cannot recommend Alex enough. She is truly exceptional at what she does.

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!

Blossom and Bee were one of the approved vendors on our venue's list. It was an easy process working with Penny and her team. I was able to pin inspo pictures on a Pinterest board as well as share pictures of my dress, my husband's tux, and our wedding invitation suite. As a bride of Indian origin, I wanted bright spring florals that also complimented the industrial/French look of our venue. I was overwhelmed by the number of color combinations I was interested in and the team helped me narrow down to the best color scheme. Something to note is that you will need to provide bud vases and rent floral stands from B&B if that is something you want in your decor. Luckily my venue provided a moon gate that could be used for the ceremony, and the venue staff repurposed the florals from the ceremony to the sweetheart table.

Sandy made our wedding ceremony absolutely perfect! From beginning to end she helped us so much. Sandy was always super easy to get a hold of. It never took her more than a day to respond back to any emails we sent her (which to anyone planning a wedding knows is key to have vendors respond as quickly as possible). She made the ceremony so unique by reaching out to some of our friends and family to ask them question about my husband and I and incorporated their answers into the ceremony, which made us and our friends and family feel even more apart of the ceremony then they already were. And everyone knows that one of the post stressful parts of all of this is writing your vows. Which Sandy knows (of course) and she goes above and beyond to help with that she gave us a detailed list of things to incorporate (if you decide to write your own) along with a list of already made vows that you can choose from or use to help create your own version of. Which helped so much to alleviate some of the stress of it all. If I were to do it all again I would choose Sandy every time she was so helpful through the planning of it all and when it came to the actual execution of it, it was perfect and true to her business name, felt like it came right out of a storybook written just for us.

Hi! I’m Shauna — but you can call me Shay. I’m the photographer behind Milestone. What started as a side business in 2015 became my full-time dream in 2022, and I thank God daily that I get to serve amazing couples through my work. I met my husband at 15 and we’ve been together ever since, so love stories have always meant a lot to me. As a wife and mom of two adventurous boys, I know how meaningful life’s biggest milestones are. My goal is to give every couple a relaxed, fun experience and a gallery of memories you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing Shauna’s work up close 3 separate times. After seeing Shauna effortlessly handle my brother’s wedding (during Covid I should add) I knew when it was my time I needed to have her. I booked Shauna for my engagement and my wedding. My husband and I don’t love posing for the camera but Shauna made us feel so comfortable and got some amazing photos. She’s fun, confident, and talented. Every bride needs Shauna in their corner. She isn’t afraid to stick up for her brides and work to get the best shot. She handles a timeline with ease and truly made my day that much easier. You won’t be disappointed booking Shauna for any of your important events. You’ll feel like you’ve known her forever, which makes the experience that much better.

I’m Madalina, a wedding photographer based in Miami and the Jersey Shore, but I’ll happily follow love wherever it takes me. I’ve always been drawn to the quiet, meaningful moments: the way your partner looks at you when you’re not looking, the hug from your mom that lasts a little longer, the feeling of joy that hangs in the air. My approach is calm, intentional, and heartfelt. I want your photos to feel like you: beautiful, honest, and full of soul.

We had the pleasure of having Madalina as our wedding photographer, and she was absolutely amazing! Very charismatic and talented. She captured every special moment so naturally and beautifully. The photos are full of emotion and love exactly how we wanted to remember our day. We’re so grateful for her talent and positive energy. Highly recommend!
