“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!”

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.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our wedding! Kevin was the first officiant we met with, and we knew right away that he was the right choice. He did such an amazing job making our ceremony feel incredibly personal and meaningful. So many of our guests told us afterward that it was one of the best wedding ceremonies they had ever attended. We even had multiple people ask us how we knew him because the ceremony felt so personal that they assumed he must have known us for years! He made everything feel completely unique to us and told our story in such a natural, genuine way. It was heartfelt, personal, and still had the perfect amount of humor. We’re so grateful for how special he made our ceremony and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant!”

“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.”

From the moment we arrived, the energy was infectious — we were laughing, moving, and genuinely having the time of our lives. It never once felt like a photoshoot; it felt like spending the afternoon with a friend who just happened to have a camera. What truly set our photographer apart was the perfect balance of fun and professionalism. They kept the session lighthearted and exciting while never losing their sharp eye for the details that make a photo extraordinary — the way the light hit just right, thoughtful staging of every scene, and gentle, natural posing direction that made us both feel completely at ease in front of the camera. No stiff, awkward poses here — every shot felt candid and authentic. Their patience was also something we deeply appreciated. They never rushed us, always made sure we were comfortable, and took the time to get each shot exactly right. You can feel that care and intentionality in every single image. And the final photos? Absolutely stunning. The quality speaks for itself — crisp, vibrant, and full of genuine emotion. We are so in love with every single one and will treasure them forever. If you are on the fence, consider this your sign to book them immediately. You will not regret it for a single second. We are already counting down the days until our wedding so we can work with them again!”

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!

“I utilized Borello Beauty for my wedding day back in April & it was the greatest experience! Ashley was communicative, down-to-earth, considerate, professional, and listened to my vision of enhancing and highlighting my features while still making me look and feel like myself for hair and makeup. Both services lasted me the entire night & my hair even held up the next day for the send-off breakfast.”

We’re Mark and Brittany Edman, the husband-and-wife team behind This Insane Idea Photography. Brittany was the one who encouraged Mark to take his lifelong love of photography full time. It sounded like an insane idea at the time, but documenting weddings quickly became the work we love most. Mark photographs the day as it unfolds: the big emotions, the quiet moments, and everything in between. Brittany brings 20 years of hospitality experience to helping couples feel cared for and keeping the day flowing. Together, we get to know you and the people you love so you can feel comfortable, stay present, and enjoy your wedding. Our approach is simple: nothing added, nothing taken away. Your story, captured as it felt.

“It was an absolute pleasure to have This Insane Idea photograph not only our entire wedding weekend in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but also our engagement in New York City two years earlier. I have a close relationship with Mark and Brittany, the founders of This Insane Idea, so it would be easy to assume that’s why we chose them. The reality is that I have always been incredibly impressed by Mark and his team’s talent behind the camera, as well as Brittany’s knowledge of wedding planning and understanding of how a wedding day should flow. I truly could not have asked for a better photography team. Throughout our wedding weekend, everything felt completely under control and according to plan. We captured all of the photographs that mattered to us without ever feeling like the photography took us away from actually experiencing the weekend. I was especially impressed by the way Mark worked with our friends and family. So many people told us afterward how comfortable they felt, including family members who normally aren’t at ease in front of a camera. Mark gives clear direction while still making everything feel natural and relaxed, and that really comes through in the photographs. As a bride, photography was truly the last thing I had to worry about because I knew Mark and his team had it handled. We received sneak peeks almost immediately, and our full gallery came back incredibly quickly. I also really appreciated how receptive Mark and Brittany were to our ideas and how closely they listened to our vision. As a professional designer, I was very involved in the creative direction of our entire wedding and naturally had thoughts about the photography as well. They listened to my perspective while bringing their own expertise and creativity, and the result felt completely aligned with what we had envisioned. Most importantly, they beautifully captured not just how our wedding looked, but the people and moments that made the weekend so special. Our friends and family were just as thrilled with the photographs as we were. We are incredibly grateful to Mark, Brittany, and the entire This Insane Idea team for documenting both our engagement and wedding so beautifully. We truly could not recommend them more to any couple looking for a photography team they can completely trust with such an important time in their lives.”
