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
Choosing a makeup artist is one of the biggest decisions a bride can make, and I am so thankful that I chose Chrystiane for my wedding day. From the very beginning, she was attentive, professional, and genuinely cared about making sure I felt beautiful and comfortable. One thing I especially appreciated was how she checked in with me throughout the entire process to make sure I loved the direction of my makeup. As someone with a darker skin tone, I initially took a leap of faith because her social media portfolio did not feature many clients who looked like me. However, she exceeded every expectation and created a flawless look that made me feel confident and beautiful all day long. She was also wonderful with my bridesmaids and my mother, thoughtfully adapting her techniques to suit different skin types and ages. Her kindness and attention to detail truly stood out. As an added touch, she even provided a thoughtful goodie bag with products used during my service that could no longer be used on other clients. It was such a generous gesture and speaks to the level of care she provides. I cannot recommend Chrystiane enough. She played such an important role in helping me feel my best on one of the most important days of my life. – Larissa Silver

Matt through Enchanted Celebrations really exceeded our expectations.

We were so happy with working with him, and everyone at the event has commented on how great the photographer was throughout the event. After getting our photos FOUR DAYS after the wedding, we could not be more pleased! The turnaround on the edited photos was unreal, and the fully edited ones that we received exactly matched our desired look (dark and moody). We loved the way he captured us, our energy and the way that we interacted with each other throughout the day. He really caught "us" in the pictures and we'll cherish these photos forever.

Cam and the LEDG Entertainment team absolutely crushed it!!! The dance floor was packed the entire time and we had numerous guests during and after the night tell us how it was by far the best DJ/music they’ve ever experienced at a wedding.  From the start of the process Cam did an incredible job of understanding our vision and the type of music/vibe we wanted to have. Cam was extremely organized and personable, and the 3 pre-wedding calls we had with him were super beneficial to building trust and ensuring the night went as smoothly as possible. These meetings were very productive, and by the time we were through with them, we knew we had made the right choice. By the end, Cam felt more like a genuine friend than somebody we were hiring. He gave honest feedback, made several recommendations, and worked with us through numerous changes. When it came to execution, Cam and his team were very professional and delivered beyond expectations. They played all the songs we wanted to hear and even included their own creative touch with some amazing remixes and twists. They kept the crowd at high energy all night long and made sure every guest was having a great time. I think we spent 95% of our night on the dance floor having an absolute blast, and thats just the way we wanted to remember the night. We seriously cannot thank Cam and LEDG Entertainment enough for an unforgettable experience. For any couple looking to have the best night ever, we give LEDG Entertainment our highest Recommendation!

Awarded Best of Zola
I’ve never felt more beautiful than I did when Nicole did my wedding makeup. I found her on TikTok and was drawn to her modern approach to the face. I feel like a lot of wedding makeup artists have dated foundation / contour / blush / eye look approaches while Nicole’s looked like she could’ve been doing a celebrity's. All of the work on her page was so fresh, and I was not disappointed with how that reflected on me. I would genuinely hire her again and again for her prep and technique, how she brought my inspo pics to life, as well as how well she addressed the feedback I had from my trial. She also made my sisters and mom feel special and beautiful, I’ve never seen them so confident. People were floored by how good we looked and all credit goes to Nicole. 12/10. But additionally….Nicole is COOL. She is the perfect amount of interesting, conversational, and funny and I was looking forward to even just hanging out with her again on my wedding day. She’s professional, courteous, helpful, kind…I could go on. Hire Nicole I am positive you won’t regret it.

Having Sandy as our officiant was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very first meeting, she made us feel like we had known her forever. She didn’t just get to know us as a couple, she spent time with our close family and friends, making sure every detail of the ceremony truly reflected who we are and what matters most to us. That kind of effort is rare, and it made our ceremony feel so genuine, heartfelt, and personal. On the day of, Sandy brought such warmth, ease, and joy to every moment. She told our story beautifully and made us feel completely present, even in front of a crowd. Afterward, countless guests told us how touching the ceremony was, and it’s all thanks to Sandy’s gift for connecting with people. Not only did we have the perfect officiant, but by the end of this journey, we also gained a friend. If you want someone who will go above and beyond to make your ceremony unforgettable, Sandy is the one. We couldn’t imagine our wedding without her.

Maria did a fantastic job photographing our beach wedding. Everything was perfect from the planning to the execution. She thought of everything and gave us lots of great suggestions and the pictures were absolutely perfect. We have used Maria a number of times for family portraits as well, and she is incredible! Highly recommend!

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.

Shauna was the BEST wedding photographer I could of ever asked for. Shauna was always available to answer any questions I had when planning the wedding. Not only did she offer her services for photography, she also offered some advice from vendor recommendations, venue locations, and helped with figuring out timing of our day! She managed to capture EVERY detail of our wedding and I absolutely love the pictures!! She is a great photographer and asset for any wedding!! Highly recommend her services!!

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 cannot recommend Madalina enough! She photographed both our engagement session and our wedding, so by the time our big day came, she already felt like family. She has such a calming and fun personality that made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, and that made all the difference. On our wedding day, she arrived right on time and got straight to work. She was organized, professional, and captured every special moment so effortlessly. She made taking photos feel natural instead of stressful, and we never had to worry because we knew we were in great hands. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she genuinely cares about her couples and it shows in everything she does. We are so grateful we chose her to capture one of the most important days of our lives, and we'll treasure these memories forever. If you're looking for someone who is talented, reliable, and feels more like a friend than just your photographer, she's the one!
