Awarded Best of Zola
Going into our wedding, our main request of our DJ was to keep people on the dance floor as much as possible throughout the night, and Herbert certainly delivered. Guests of all ages danced the night away and one of our friends even split his pants open from dancing so hard! Herbert did an excellent job of integrating our requests and music tastes with the ebb and flow of the ceremony/dinner/dancing portions of the evening. He was incredibly easy to work with and very communicative throughout the whole process!

Jessica Manns Photography

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Merrick, NY

Hey! I'm Jess, the owner of the company that's named after me - shocking, right? I'm from the suburbs of Philly but now live up in the mountains of Northeast PA in Montrose, right on the border of Central NY. I'm married to a woodworker (who HAD to be the inspiration behind Ron Swanson because they're the same human), we live on 25 acres with three huge dogs (2 Golden Retrievers and one Great Pyrenees) and three ducks - and I'm constantly begging for more animals. I'm outgoing, sarcastic & humorous, and I love organization/cleaning, sushi, reading, The Office, and traveling everywhere I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jess is a master of her craft and we could not imagine having chosen anyone else to capture our wedding day. Working with Jess is like working with a close friend — she immediately made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, helping us pose (and making us laugh) for shots that truly blow our minds and fill our hearts. She expertly captured our individual personalities and dynamic as a couple, the vibrant color of our event, and the energy and happiness that filled the room. We are indescribably happy and grateful to have worked with such a talented, thoughtful, hilarious, and creative human to make the memories of our wedding day last forever in her incredible photographs.

Maya Lovro Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,200
  • Serves Merrick, NY

My name is Maya (they/them), and I'm a queer, love-obsessed photographer operating out of Pennsylvania and traveling all over. I specialize in weddings and elopements, especially non-traditional, LGBTQ+, and multicultural celebrations. I am the 'picnic elopement in the woods' or 'weekend campsite celebration' or 'screw it, let's get married at a Waffle House' photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Maya is one of the most wonderful, genuine, and detailed photographers I've ever met, and I've worked with a lot of photographers in my line of work! My partner and I chose Maya first for our engagement photos because of their dynamic, warm style, and ended up enjoying working with them so much that we decided to book them for our wedding! My partner is quite shy and doesn't enjoy his photo being taken, but Maya made him feel so comfortable and confident. We are an LGBTQ couple, and Maya made us feel so valid and loved expressing who we are. Maya was so communicative throughout the whole wedding planning process, and constantly provided us with resources to help us with our general planning. Maya and their co-photographer took so much care and detail on the day of the wedding to get every small detail to every huge moment. Everything worked like literal clockwork, everything felt super chill and fun, and even shooting large family photos (with way too many cousins) ended up being a breeze! Maya truly cares about their work, especially their clients. We could not recommend Maya enough!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Ryan is truly the jack of all trades, the absolute kindest human being, and incredibly professional. We are SO glad he was a (major!) part of our wedding day! He was super communicative when we had questions, helped give us some advice, and *!!!even learned a new song just for us!!!* We had just attended a friends wedding and the music was super unrelatable to my fiance (husband now lol) and our friends. We were bummed and worried - hopeful that ours would be fun and get people out there! Ryan was AMAZING. He curated the perfect playlist, set up THREE different locations to play, AND was super cool to honor all our specific wishes. 10 mins to the end I went to him and said eh we are tired such a long day, we can probably wrap up - he assured me he had some incredible songs for the last few, told me to rally- he DID. Ended the night on such a fun, high note. I would recommend Ryan over and over and over and over again. Not only did he totally rock the DJ/musician aspect, but he’s truly a kind person- which just really rounded out the whole experience. 10000/10 experience — thank you Ryan!!!

Victoria worked on me, a friend, and my mother, and we were all so impressed with her skill and professionalism. Not only did she make us look like rockstars, but she also made us feel comfortable with the process, which was pretty foreign to most of us. My makeup and hair held all night long and matched exactly with what I had in mind. I was initially nervous booking someone on the lower end of the HMU budget spectrum, but her reasonable fees are not commensurate with her ability. She could easily double her prices, but I’m so glad she had offerings that I was able to afford. Highly recommend!

He took our special requests, singing everything from The Grateful Dead, to Jack Johnson, to John Legend. His voice is absolutely incredible. And he did all this in 45 degree weather, mind you!

We used Shmayley's on 2 different occasions. First in August for my daughter's wedding! Smayley's was the bar for the wedding, the owner Hayley was Hands-On helping both prior to the wedding and, of course on the big day! She created two signature drinks (that were marvelous) that my daughter absolutely loved! Let me just say she made my daughter's day one she will never forget! In October we celebrated an anniversary in which we again hired Smayley's services for the bar, rolled ice cream and her wonderful photo booth options. Let me add, this young entrepreneur has made all both events that we hosted unforgettable. Both with her professionalism and her willingness to work hard she will be at every event we host in the future!

Everyone needs an events coordinator whose responsibility is to make sure you--and everyone at the center of the celebration--enjoy the event. Merry by Mia will be in your corner and take away all logistical stress.

My husband and I knew we needed a day of coordinator because on our wedding day he wanted me to finally check out and relax! As someone who is very type a, I didn't want to not enjoy my actual wedding because I was so focused on details. Like most venues we had a Bridal Attendant who was great, but I can't speak enough about how a day of coordinator is so necessary. There really were so many moving parts that day and Mia took care of all of it. Her involvement allowed my mom and mother in law to be able to actually have fun. It was great to see! Leaving the pressure of getting things right on the day of to Mia and her team was the best decision I made! She was actually the first vendor we hired. It was truly a non negotiable for us! We chose Mia because she was able to really walk us through the entire process and answer all of the questions we had with the least amount of fluff! When we hired Merry we decided to pay a little extra for a second on site coordinator and that ended up being a great choice! Her team worked directly with our venue to make sure everything was where it needed to be and when it needed to be there. I was also able to assign someone to my husband and the groomsmen so that they felt special and taken care of! We even had one small thing that came up that because of the conversations we had she knew exactly what to do. It was super windy on the day of and our ceremony was in a tent that was supposed to be open to the water views. The venue ultimately left them open but she made an executive decision (found me quickly to re-confirm) to close the panels/curtains and it saved our guests from freezing and not being able to actually hear the ceremony. She also made sure that all of the things we really cared about (pictures, moments etc) were captured! We'd hire Merry by Mia a thousand times over!

When you hire Jamie you actually GET Jamie as your photographer on your wedding day! Why? 1. I LOVE photographing weddings! (I don’t want to send someone else to “do it for me” 🤪) 2. If you’re reading this, then you’re at the stage right now where you are researching individual photographers style, reading reviews showing their reputation, and scheduling a call to research their personality while sharing your vision. …. Now imaging doing all that work just for a “team member” or “an associate” photographer to show up on your wedding day? CRAZY RIGHT?! When you hire Jamie, your date is locked in FOR YOU, no unwanted surprises!

Jamie was recommended to us by a friend who had recently used her in their wedding—and we would 110% recommend Jamie too! She brings the utmost professionalism; from the first time we talked, she had already researched the venue we had chosen to get married at and was already prepared with questions and an understanding of the venue’s layout. Going through the wedding process can be a lot of chaos, but we knew from the start that we would never have to worry about Jamie! Throughout, she also showed so much excitement and passion for us as a couple from being excited about the colors we had chosen to her sheer enthusiasm on the day-of as we took our first look photos. Jamie is amazingly personable and was incredibly helpful at instructing us on where to be to stage the best moments and making us feel comfortable each stop of the way. Oh, and the pictures she took? They all came out absolutely PERFECT. We are so happy that we went with Jamie!
