Emily M. was a 10/10. We had a special, intimate, but highly detailed 190-person wedding at home. We had to bring in a ton of different vendors, change locations twice, and deal with very unpredictable weather. Emily was a total star – from the first planning call to hugging her goodbye at the end of the after party. Cannot recommend her highly enough!

Awarded Best of Zola
We absolutely loved working with The Hook Club. Our amazing planner, Greenhouse Events, recommended THC, and we were sold immediately after meeting with Dan. He is super relaxed, nice, and so knowledgable. Dan and THC team made planning super easy for us. They took time to hear about our hopes and helped recommend different band sizes for us. We hadn’t heard of a DJ band before, but loved the idea of some live music with the versatility to play all sorts of music, but our venue wasn’t very big and we also didn’t want to break the bank and hire a huge band. We chose the 4 piece DJ band with singer, sax, drums, and DJ. We knew we LOVED the sax, so we also had the sax play for cocktail hour (shout out to Elijah, who was amazing), and it was one of the best parts of the night. For planning music, they sent out a very detailed and thorough spreadsheet with more songs than one could imagine, and we could rate ones we liked the most, choose ones we definitely wanted or didn't, and choose specific songs for important moments. We met a couple times to review music choices as well. One of our biggest fears with a DJ was that they'd talk too much and be a little annoying, but Dan did a great job as MC, and was very low-key like we asked but announced important moments clearly. Dan and all the musicians had such great energy and got everyone on the dance floor. Our vocalist, Christen, was also amazing — her voice was spectacular, and she was such an amazing performer and got everyone involved in the music and dancing. So many people told us how much they loved the music and the energy, and had never heard of a DJ band but thought it was an amazing concept and the addition of live music over tracks added extra excitement and fun. THC also helped out with lighting (uplights and dance lights), and worked with our fantastic planner and the venue to help us decide the best setup. Ultimately, we loved working with THC. Their DJ-band setup is unique and adds so much variety to your music while allowing for some of the energy that comes from live performers. We danced the night away and had an absolute blast. 100% would recommend THC to anyone!

Sweet Harmony Live Music: serving your local area nationwide! 
Rating: 5.0 (94 reviews)
New York, NY
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $420

At Sweet Harmony, we love what we do! To us, it is a beautiful thing when we are playing music that helps you to feel the special moments of your life. We've grown fast since our founding in 2008, and Sweet Harmony now serves weddings across the United States with fine local musicians. As owner and pianist, I hold certain core values that inspire my work with our customers and our relationships in the professional world: honesty, teamwork, friendliness, strength, service, efficiency, and a commitment to excellence. Our musicians typically hold advanced degrees in music and care genuinely about bringing you the beauty of live performance!

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding on January 17, 2026, at The Wave Hotel in Orlando, Florida, felt like a living fairytale. The soul-stirring music of Sweet Harmony was the heartbeat that made every moment unforgettable. From our very first Zoom call to the final shimmering notes that lingered in the warm Florida evening air, this quartet didn’t just perform; they transformed our day into pure magic! Planning a destination wedding can be overwhelming, but Sweet Harmony made it effortless and joyful. Kasia Dolinska was an absolute dream to work with, warm, brilliantly organized, and genuinely excited about our vision. Her quick responses, thoughtful suggestions, and deep understanding of how music shapes emotion took all the stress out of the process. Their pricing was not only competitive but an incredible value for the level of talent and professionalism we received. We were especially blown away by their vast, beautifully curated song list; everything from timeless classics to modern indie favorites, which let us create a playlist that felt completely, authentically “us.” My musician husband even had the chance to discuss possibly performing alongside them, and Kasia’s enthusiasm made us feel like true collaborators rather than just clients. On the wedding day, Sweet Harmony arrived perfectly on time, elegantly dressed in classic black, adding an air of refined sophistication to our outdoor garden ceremony. But it was their sound that left us breathless. Rich, vibrant, and impossibly crisp, every note floated on the gentle breeze like liquid gold, wrapping our guests in warmth, romance, and pure joy. You could feel the emotion in the air, smiles widened, eyes glistened, and people swayed gently as the music wrapped around us like a loving embrace. The seamless transition from ceremony to cocktail hour was flawless: they simply turned their chairs and continued playing without missing a single beat, keeping the elegant atmosphere flowing effortlessly as guests mingled and celebrated. The absolute pinnacle of our day, a moment we still get chills thinking about, was their breathtaking rendition of “Turning Page” by Sleeping At Last during our processional, walking hand in hand down the aisle. The music was delicate, light, resonant, and so deeply moving that I instinctively slowed my steps, wanting to savor every exquisite note. It felt like the entire world paused; the strings poured out love, hope, and forever in a way that words can never capture. That single piece turned the beginning of our forever into something transcendent. We can’t wait to relive it in our wedding video. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels intimate, elegant, and emotionally unforgettable, Sweet Harmony is the only choice! Their extraordinary talent, heartfelt passion, and flawless professionalism elevated our day in ways we never imagined possible. Kasia and the entire quartet truly gifted us the most beautiful, memorable day of our lives. We recommend them with every ounce of our hearts! They don’t just play music; they create magic! Thank-you! Más & Vin

A 16-year veteran of the NYC club scene. I collaborate closely with couples to create their unique musical experiences for themselves and their guests by delivering a Sophisticated Savoire-Faire of seamlessly blended hits from past decades to what's currently in vogue; citing T-40 Dance, House, IndiePop/Rock, Nu-Disko, Hip Hop, Funk, Soul, Disco, Latin and Reggae as some of my favorites.

Awarded Best of Zola
Marcus did an amazing job as the DJ for our wedding at the Prospect Park Boathouse! Prior to the wedding, we completed a worksheet on the timeline and our song preferences, and then had a planning meeting with him where we went over all the details and he gave us advice on flow and timeline based on his extensive experience DJ-ing weddings. Through all our interactions, we could tell how detail-oriented and experienced he was. The Prospect Park Boathouse can be a tricky venue with its short load-in time and long, narrow layout, but Marcus knew it well and planned accordingly. We also had a Vietnamese/Chinese wedding; in addition to a DJ, we also had a pianist with a singer, and a bilingual emcee. This added some complexity in terms of timeline and switching between the singer and the DJ, but Marcus coordinated well with everyone, kept track of the timeline, and handled all transitions between live music and DJ sets seamlessly. He also showed up a little early to make sure all equipment was set up well and did a mic check during the cocktail hour. During the dance portion of the night, the dance floor was packed all night and people did not want to leave! He played all the songs we wanted (along with additional ones he selected) and all the transitions and mixes were fantastic and kept the energy/vibe high. Many guests commented on how great our DJ was! Even though we had a different emcee, we know that Marcus would have done a fantastic job as an emcee as well - he is warm, friendly, gracious, and charismatic. He is not only a great DJ but also a fantastic human being!

After 14 plus years DJing weddings across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, I know the fear is not just bad music.

Rebeca and Andrew are not just incredible photographers, but they are also wonderful people who make their clients feel so comfortable. Do not hesitate to book Andrew and Rebeca for your wedding or your next photographed event. My husband and I were joking around about how Andrew and Rebeca felt like our friends after sharing all our special moments together, photographing our engagement photos and our first look the day of the wedding. Rebeca and Andrew create a calm, down to earth, and joyful environment during their shoots. They did a fantastic job making us feel comfortable in front of the camera- we were so happy that we did an engagement shoot with them, they taught us some tips and tricks for posing in front of the camera, and so we were thrilled with how our wedding photos turned out a few months later. Additionally, Rebeca and Andrew are professional, ask a fair price for their incredible work, and are quick to respond to all emails and messages. They made us feel calm, confident, and well taken care of throughout the entire wedding planning process. On your wedding day, you are spending so much time running around, staying on schedule, socializing, etc. It can get really busy and overwhelming. So, we learned that some of the more quiet and intimate moments happen when you are being photographed at your first look or before your guests arrive at your venue. As a result, you don’t just want skillful photographers at your wedding, you want great people who you enjoy spending time with. Overall, we could not have been more happy working with Rebeca and Andrew- in fact, we will miss them! We definitely plan to keep them in mind if we ever need a professional photographer in the future.

We booked The Sanctuary as our venue back in 2023 when they were just re-opening, and we have zero regrets! Every New Yorker should have this place on its radar! The very first day we were there with Fonsi, we knew we were in good hands! Everything was perfect: the pier set-up for the ceremony, the open bar, grazing table and passed hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour and finally the dessert table and pizza stations for the after party. The food was AMAZING and cooked on-site so it was as fresh as it can be! And then they seamlessly cleared out the cocktail area and transformed it into the dancefloor while we were all enjoying our dinner buffet in a separate tented pavillion. Shout out to Amelia, Frank, Artur, Cat, and the rest of their wonderful team!

Hello Beautiful! Do you need your make-up and hair done for your big day and want a little pampering at the same time? Look no further! Making you feel your best, so you look good the whole day and night long is my goal. I have been in the beauty business since 2012 and like to focus on enhancing natural beauty by accentuating your best facial features. But of course adding a little POP from time to time never hurts ;)

Awarded Best of Zola
Denise was wonderful to work with. From the booking process to the wedding day, she was so approachable and helpful. She was great at communicating, arrived on time and made the getting-ready process feel relaxed and enjoyable. I also booked her for a couple hours after makeup application to help with touch ups and take some extra photos, which was very worth it because I had a very small wedding so only my dad was with me prior to walking down the aisle. She’s clearly very skilled at makeup application and knows what she’s doing. While the final look wasn’t exactly the style I was looking for, it did look good and lasted all night. Unfortunately I didn’t have time to do a trial which may have helped refine the look. I truly appreciated her professionalism and talent. I would recommend her to brides looking for a reliable and kind makeup artist.

Absolutely amazing!! The photographer and videographer made my wedding so special. They were on time and they got right to work. I didn't have to think about poses because they knew exactly how to pose us. They also were super funny and would make us laugh which was great for the photos. Another great thing about them was they made sure to get everyone into the pictures. No one at the wedding was not photographed. Everyone that was at my wedding is in a few photos which is very important. One of my favorite parts of the night was when it started snowing and I asked the photographer if he would be willing to take pictures of us in the snow. He was more then willing. Both him and the videographer out their jackets on and went into the cold and took numerous pictures. They posed us and everything. The photos came out GORGEOUS. Also the trailer and highlight videos? SO GOOD!!!!!! I absolutely love them. Such talent!!! Everyone at my wedding is racing about how great everything came out.

Hi, my name is Millie! I picked up a camera 11 years ago and I've been wholeheartedly devoted to this craft ever since. Through photography, I've come to understand that the meaningful connections I form with others hold a special significance for me and should be documented. My journey has naturally directed me toward wedding photography, enabling me to translate your love into art. To me, nothing compares to distilling love into photographs.

Who knew that a random Facebook group post would lead us to the best photographer ever? It’s like she had a sixth sense—she knew exactly what we wanted without us having to explain much. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if she could read minds. She worked magic with every location. A professional who is thoughtful, genuine and somehow made two camera-shy people (us) feel like models. she captured our engagement session our Korean and Chinese tea ceremonies. And let me tell you— I took every chance to be in front of her camera after that. She’s our photographer for life. The photos she has taken of us is a testament to her work ethic and incredible talent. We are forever grateful to Millie and can’t wait to celebrate our future milestones with her!

Awarded Best of Zola
Last month I got married at The Sanctuary on Roosevelt Island, and I had the pleasure of working with Jackie Fanara, an artist from Melissa’s makeup team. She was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish- it felt like hanging out with an old friend! She is so incredible at making her clients feel comfortable, listened to, and pampered. She went completely above and beyond- when the bridal party was finishing photos outside and it started pouring, she got SOAKED while shielding my bridesmaids and making sure everyone was able to get safely from the park to the vehicles to inside the venue. She literally used herself as a shield and then proceeded to to help everyone get touch ups while they dried off- by the time the ceremony had started, no one would have had an idea that everyone had been rained on. By the end of the day, she was everyone’s best friend. She was an angel that day and I am so thankful she was my artist. If you’re looking for an incredibly talented artist who will charm you with her positive attitude and incredible sense of humor- Jackie is your gal. Special shout out to Tressa, who did the makeup for my mother in law and few other people’s on my husband’s side of the family- they all loved her and said that she made them feel so special! And of course, shout out to Melissa for being lovely and communicative while setting me up with her team!

When I came across Rebecca's website and portfolio I was immediately smitten. Her style was so beautiful and unique, and exactly what I was hoping to find for our wedding. One quick call with her and I knew she was our photographer. She was so warm and welcoming and we felt completely ourselves around her. We had FUN spending time with her for both our engagement and wedding photos. Aside from her amazing skills - she went ABOVE AND BEYOND to coordinate our engagement photos with us when we were living in California. She was the easiest choice we made and we love every photo she took for us. Cannot recommend her highly enough! - Chelsean Nick

I know you can dance 
Rating: 5.0 (29 reviews)
New York, NY
  • Event extras
  • Dance classes
  • Starts at $150

I teach wedding dance in a completely private studio—no one else around—so you can relax, laugh, and be yourselves. Every couple arrives nervous and leaves confident. My goal is to make your first dance simple, joyful, and true to your personality. I create an atmosphere that’s warm, fun, and pressure-free, where movement grows naturally from your connection. You’ll feel at ease, prepared, and excited for the moment when all eyes are on you. It’s about authenticity, not perfection—a memory that feels real and completely yours.

Awarded Best of Zola
We came to our first lesson with Sandro having never taken a formal dance class. He immediately met us where we were, listened to what we wanted, and in just four lessons choreographed a first dance that felt completely authentic to us - and ended up being a huge hit at our wedding. Beyond being an exceptional teacher, Sandro is hilarious, encouraging, and genuinely invested in his students. He made every lesson something we looked forward to. We couldn’t recommend him more highly and have already referred friends to him. Grazie, Sandro!

Working with Bryan for our wedding and engagement photos was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding. He really took time to scope out the locations, find hidden gems that we had never noticed, and capture moments that felt truly personal and beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with him - he put us at ease and was extremely efficient! His photos came out stunningly gorgeous, and his blazing fast turnaround was just icing on top of it all. We literally could not recommend him enough and are so grateful to him.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ani is, quite simply, the best wedding planner you could ever hope for—better than the planner you’d imagine in your wildest dreams. My husband and I hired Ani as a partial planner 5 months before our wedding after having already chosen our venue and a few initial vendors. From the moment she stepped in, she transformed the entire process. I have so many extraordinary things to say about Ani, not only about her talent as a planner but also about her warmth, her energy, and the kind of person she is, that it’s hard to know where to begin but here goes. I chose a partial planning package because I thought I was too Type A to let go of control, but it turns out that Ani is the Type A soulmate I didn’t know I needed. I suffer from major decision paralysis, and from the minute she joined the process, she brought clarity and structure. She sent me beautifully organized checklists, spreadsheets, and internal deadlines so nothing fell through the cracks. Her reminders were always gentle but effective—never overwhelming. Her organizational skills are truly unmatched. She also has deep industry connections and helped me secure all remaining vendors—each one a perfect fit. She showed up for everything: tastings, linen selections, floral samples; she stayed in constant communication with every vendor, tracked payment schedules for me, and made sure every detail was executed flawlessly. Ani is a fierce, tireless and unstoppable go-getter. She will bring your vision to life, and if you don’t yet know what your vision is, she will help you discover it. She has the answer to every question you can imagine, even to those you don’t even know to ask. Throughout the process, we felt like we were her only clients. Her responsiveness is almost superhuman. She always answered texts within minutes, often seconds. And always with an amazing attitude. She makes you feel taken care of in a way that is both comforting and confidence-boosting. But beyond all that, her personality is the true magic. Wedding planning can be stressful, and emotional, and finding someone you click with is essential. Ani is that person. She is sweet, funny, grounded, and so easy to be around. My family and bridal party are full of big personalities, and Ani navigated everyone with grace. She read the room and knew exactly what each person needed. Everyone loved her. We became friends and remain friends years later. You can be completely yourself with her. She will talk you off every ledge - wedding related or not. She is young, charming, vibrant, diligent, and radiates this incredible positive energy without being over the top. She is the exact person you want by your side on your wedding day. Her team is equally great, going above and beyond. For example, I unexpectedly got my period the morning of my wedding. Before I could even process the panic, someone from her team had sprinted out, bought tampons, and returned before I even knew she’d left. That’s the level of care you get with Ani. I would hire her again in every lifetime. My wedding was the happiest, most fun day of my life, and I owe so much of that to Ani. If you’re lucky enough to get a chance to work with her, do not hesitate. She is extraordinary.

I'm Claire. I opened WedWell in 2014 after I had a terrible experience with the planner for my wedding (which is why I aim for a low stress, high fun planning environment). With over a decade of experience in events, it was time that I started helping couples through the wedding planning process. I love all things weddings: the couples, the venues, the uniqueness, the love, the families, the vows, the toasts, the dancing, the photo booths, the cake (well, any dessert really). I love working with all couples because I truly believe love is love. So let's get started!

Awarded Best of Zola
The most thoughtful, organized, fun, amazing person we’ve ever met, and she single-handedly made our wedding PERFECT. Every single detail was perfect, and we were able to enjoy every moment of our night. Her responsiveness was instant, and on the day of she kept my fiancé and I so calm when we were freaking out. All of our friends told us we needed to get a planner, and I am SO thankful we found Claire. She made our wedding so much fun and zero stress and it looked so beautiful. This was the greatest day of our life, if were to do it a hundred times over I would ask Claire every time. Honestly a single thing didn’t go wrong, and I cannot believe I’m saying that about a wedding. In the planning, it was clear the Claire knew exactly what she was doing, has done this so many times, and had planned for everything we could possibly need. Even things we didn’t even realize we needed, thought we’d be fine, and then the day of we were both like “Wow Claire was so right”. Thank you Claire. You are an incredible person and the best planner ever!! 3 3 3
