I couldn’t have asked for a better florist to have so our wedding! The whole process was so easy, Alyssa brought to life exactly everything I dreamed my wedding to be! Planning a wedding is super stressful everyone knows that but working with Alyssa there was no stress at all! She took her time to put a whole portfolio together of the ideas we wanted for our wedding.

It's taken me a couple months to write this review since getting married at Park Loft in May because I just haven't felt I had the words to adequately express how perfect this venue and their entire team was. Our wedding day exceeded even our own expectations and was absolutely flawless. I expected a little hiccup somewhere along the way, but there were none. The entire team we worked with were true professionals and had the whole process down to a tee. Our director, Allie, was beyond organized and accommodating, helping us throughout the entire planning process. Chef Thomas is incredible and so invested in ensuring all the food was delicious. Everyone who attended went out of their way to tell us it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. If you are considering booking with Park Loft, all I can say is DO IT!! You will not regret it and you and all your guests will be blown away by the all around perfection of Park Loft.

My wife Debbie and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary by hosting a party of close to 100 people with family and friends. We searched for a DJ in our area that would listen to our requests for music to get everyone who attended to get up and dance and join the celebration. Alex did not disappoint and was an outstanding DJ. His price for the event was also very reasonable. We spoke to him several times to seek ideas for the celebration songs to play and when to play them. He had a user-friendly website where you can put in the top 50 songs you wanted to play as well as additional songs if there was time. I sang to my wife at our wedding 50 years ago and wanted to surprise her at the party and do the same. I called Alex and asked him if he could set up and find the background instrumentals to “Have I told you Lately”. Minutes later he sent me a link of the instrumental via email. I practiced it once and it was perfect. My wife was definitely surprised, as well as our guests, when I sung it to her while I danced with my her. It was a special moment during our celebration and Alex helped make it happen. Received a lot of complimentary comments about Alex from our guests. We wholeheartedly recommend Alex for your next celebration! Thanks Alex!!

The Beer Wagon Company 

5.0

  • Bar services & beverages
  • Serves Ocean, NJ

Our beer wagon is outfitted with 5 quality tap lines and a pressure system to make sure it's a perfect pour, every time, and our refrigeration unit keeps the beer well chilled. Our rental would include delivery/pick up to the event location, us setting it up on site with our standard decorations and getting your kegs inside tapped and flowing. We are not an alcohol distributor which means that you will need to provide your kegs and have them on site for us to set up.

This was the coolest decision of our entire wedding!!!! Why bother spending time and money on ice to keep kegs cold when you can have a refrigerated beer wagon with taps! Forest was so awesome to work with. He dropped off the wagon early for us, helped load and tap the kegs, and even decorated it beautifully (including the beer logo signs).

Eric Coleman 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Serves Ocean, NJ

Hello couples! Ive spent a lot of my career working in TV and Professional Sports all over the world but Ive always had a connection with the wedding photography world and decided to go full time with that a few years ago! Id be honored to shoot your special day and seek out every moment I can for you, your family and your friends!

I can’t say enough about how incredible our experience was with Eric as our wedding photographer. Located at the Jersey Shore, where most photographers focus on sunny beach weddings, I was looking for something different. Our wedding took place in the fall, full of rich earth tones and a fun, edgy vibe that centered not just on romance, but on the presence of our children. It was important to us that the day felt authentic, emotional, and full of movement. And, just to make it more fun, ours was a Halloween wedding. We had a formal ceremony followed by a costume reception, and Eric embraced every bit of it. He didn’t just roll with our unique requests—he elevated them. He found the perfect location: a hidden gem that was edgy, raw, and exactly what I didn’t even know I was hoping for. The backdrop had this cinematic, timeless feel that makes you wonder “where in the world could they be,” which paired beautifully with our nontraditional theme. Photographing four young kids is no easy task, especially on such a big day. But Eric’s speed, patience, and instincts were unbelievable. He captured fleeting moments—tiny glances, quick smiles, the chaos and joy of our family—without ever losing sight of the romance and connection between me and my husband. Every image tells a story. Every photo feels felt. If you’re looking for a photographer who goes beyond the typical and brings a true artistic eye to your day—especially one that includes children, unconventional details, or an untraditional setting—Eric is your guy. We will treasure these photos forever.

I’m an artist, a husband, a brother, a dear friend, an inquirer of life and a creative soul. I was born and raised in central New Jersey (if such a thing exists) where I still reside. I have a deep appreciation for the nostalgic things in life. Things that have the ability to bring you back to a happy place in your lifetime. I suppose this is why I love what I do so much, why it is so fulfilling. I am creating those nostalgic things for everyone else.

We cannot recommend Tim enough! We loveee our wedding photos, not to mention that Tim (and Darrel!) we’re an absolute pleasure to work with! The day of, Tim kept us focused and on time, while letting us lead and bring our own creativity to the table. During the wedding, he was always where he needed to be to capture the shot we hoped for, and the video he put together was incredibly done and a perfect way to remember the day! Leading up to the big day, we had really helpful check-ins and chats about our vision and timeline, which made the whole process so easy and enjoyable. We are beyond happy with our photos and video, and highly recommend booking Tim for your big day!

Not just any videos though, ALL of our videos turned out amazing and we could not be happier. On wedding day, they were on time, so creative and got amazing footage from it.

Kathedral Event Center 

5.0

Hammonton, NJ
  • Venue
  • Up to 200 guests

  • Indoor
  • Starts at $6,000

Kathedral Event Center is a unique, mid-century modern venue. This former Catholic Church has been re-imagined to host concerts, weddings, parties and more. Its rich architecture, natural stone and wood accents, and professional sound & lighting are the perfect backdrop for your next event. With the addition of our on-site boutique hotel, The Martinn, you don't have to go very far after celebrating all night-long.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Has a relaxed and casual vibe
  • Provides setup and cleanup
  • Has a dance floor for celebration

Venue considerations

  • Requires outside catering services
  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • Does not allow pets
Originally when we were setting our sights on wedding venues, we didn't realize how either a) incredibly expensive or b) formulaic and plug-and-play they were. The Kathedral offered us a blank slate to source our own caterer and pick out our seating and table arrangements. We even sourced desserts from several different places, and the Kathedral staff worked with our caterer to setup our vision: a Harry-Potter inspired dessert table, which was an incredible surprise and it looked even better than I had imagined it. To top it off, we elected to have our ceremony at Hammonton Lake Park and while it's a bit stressful to get everything set up, we were allowed to have full control over (mostly) everything - just remember you can't control if it rains or is outrageously hot! The Kathedral staff is always ready to help with recommendations over trusted vendors as well. The Martinn is an adorable boutique hotel that we were able to fully book up for our wedding party. It was a great place to get ready and a super comfortable place to stay the night after our wedding. We've even talked about just going back, even 3 years later, and having a little "local getaway" to stay at The Martinn and spending a weekend in Hammonton. All in all, if you're more of a creative-type and want your special day to have a bit more of a personal touch, we couldn't recommend The Kathedral (and The Martinn) enough.

  • Serves Ocean, NJ

Hello! My name is Jeff Bien Aime I am the Founder and Lead Videographer of Flare Hill Productions. I fell in love with Wedding Filmmaking back in 2018 when I Filmed my 1st, Wedding. I remember feeling so excited but yet so nervous. After it was all I over and I delivered the Wedding Film to my client. They ended up loving it and recommending me to my next couple. Since then, I've dedicated myself and this company to creating and capturing timeless moments of our couple's special day. I realized that there's something magical about capturing the love and emotions of two people in a way that can be relived over and over again. ​

Awarded Best of Zola
I'm a photographer and I don't bundle video, so I make referrals. Flare Hill Productions is at the top of my preferred vendors list. I've worked side by side with Jeff on many occasions and know the quality of Jeff's work from another creative's perspective. I'm also fairly familiar with his packages. Jeff makes a full length video of the ceremony and speeches using multiple camera angles as well as a highlight video. He calls this "RAW footage". (Keep that term in mind). So if you are interested in full length videos for ceremony and speeches I think he is worth a serious look. Many other videographer packages say "RAW footage", but this is often meant as all the unedited short (a few seconds or minute long) video clips that the videographer used to create a highlight video. Not Jeff! Ask to see one of his full ceremony and/or toast and speeches videos. They are very cinematic. He also does bloopers reels and best wishes which I can't tell you how many couples have really enjoyed these outtakes and personal messages to the couple. (Just take a moment to watch a few of his viral videos on social media! Jeff is also amazing at live streaming if you have friends and relatives that would like to watch the wedding live. I don't know any other videographer that creates as much value for his clients! If you're having a larger wedding of 150 or more guests, I would recommend getting two videographers with Jeff, although he works well alone too. To top it off, Jeff is a really cool human being! Jeff will not disappoint! There are not enough stars to properly rate him!!

Hi, I'm Jess. You'll never be taken out of the moment to pose for a photo. You will, however, be encouraged to live in the moment with your partner and guests. And I will be there to document all of it.

I can’t recommend Jess enough! From the moment we booked her, she made everything so easy and relaxed. On the day of the wedding, she was a total pro—super attentive and really took the time to understand the vibe we were going for. She gave us just the right amount of direction to make sure we looked our best, but also let us be ourselves and enjoy the day. The photos came out absolutely stunning—she perfectly captured the emotions and all the little details we wanted. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. If you’re looking for someone who’s not only talented but also makes you feel totally comfortable, Jess is your person!

I had the pleasure of working with Yanelsi for my wedding day hair and makeup. Throughout the planning process, she was extremely professional and responsive in her communication. Yanelsi took the time to understand my vision and desired look. On the wedding day, she was timely, organized, and attentive to my entire bridal party. Yanelsi's work is simply flawless - she is highly skilled with various makeup techniques and products for all skin types. My bridal look turned out beautifully elegant yet natural. The makeup lasted perfectly all day and night without needing touch ups. I felt like a princess and my husband was brought to tears when he saw me walking down the aisle! Beyond Yanelsi's obvious talent, she has a warm, engaging personality that put me at ease.

As a southern New Jersey wedding and engagement photographer, I specialize in documenting personal moments between you + your loved one while capturing all of the true, raw emotions during our session. Building a genuine, honest connection with you and all of my clients is something I strive for constantly. It's not just about taking pictures, but rather the experience that makes the photos magical. I want to exceed your highest expectations of telling your love story and create something you'll never stop reminiscing on.

I would recommend Ashley for all of your wedding photography needs! She stayed calm throughout the day, was extremely reassuring, and just overall so much fun to be around. She gave amazing direction on how to pose and made you feel so beautiful. She really has such a great eye as she led us to different areas around our venue and made sure to capture everything for our big day. From the planning process to the actual wedding day, Ashley was more than amazing to work with. I cannot thank her enough for capturing memories that I have cherish for the rest of mine and my husbands life!

I'm Victoria, Owner + Lead Planner at Presley Planning with four years experience in the wedding industry and seven years in beauty marketing. My unique background is where I became the detail-oriented and creative professional that I am today (& weddings are ALL about the details!). My wedding experience includes traditional and non-traditional venues, large outdoor tented weddings and bespoke intimate ceremonies. I customize each package to my clients’ needs and make sure you're enjoying the process along the way! The only thing I love more than my husband + two pups (George + Henry), is making my clients' dream wedding vision come to life!

We got married September 17th and could not be happier with the services Victoria and her team provided for us. Victoria will become your new bff during the wedding planning process and was always happy to proofread an invitation or help me pick a napkin color. She went well above and beyond my expectations and really provided a stress free year of wedding planning. Victoria coordinated with all my vendors and handled all communication the month of my wedding. This was a huge weight off my shoulders with so many other appointments during that busy time. She provided a website that made our seating chart planning painless and everything off our wedding to-do list was completed (including things I didn’t even think of). The day of our wedding, an overwhelming sigh of relief flooded over me when Victoria walked in with a huge smile on her face, ready to conquer whatever issues arised during the day. She was resolving problems before they even became an issue and before me as the bride even caught wind of what was going on. Victoria, Shannon, and Kyle were such an important part of our big day. They handled all venue and vendor coordination during set up for the wedding and made sure everything was exactly to my liking that we discussed in the weeks leading up to our day. From running to purchase a missing bow tie for the groom to making sure I was holding my bouquet right before walking down the aisle, the Presley Planning team ensured our wedding was going to be perfect. The minute I felt a single drop of rain while taking photos, Shannon had an umbrella over my head, and Kyle always made sure I had a sip of water ready between pictures. Victoria truly thinks of everything. We had a guest feel ill and head home before dinner was served. She had their meals boxed and ran them out to the car as the guests were leaving so that they were still able to enjoy their dinners. At the end of the night, Victoria made sure everything was packed into our car, cleaned up, and sent important items and boxed dinner with my husband and I on the shuttle. Our wedding day was nothing short of magical and I truly have Victoria and her team to thank for such a perfect day. Victoria goes well above and beyond what the venue coordinators and bridal attendants do for you, essentially making sure all moving parts of your wedding day run smoothly. We highly, highly recommend Presley Planning for your wedding coordination.

I can't say enough things about The Reception Center and their team!!! We had such a fabulous time at our own wedding and we owe it all to Marybeth and her staff. The staff is incredible. So attentive, made sure everything was perfect. It all went better and smoother than I could have ever imagined. From start to finish, the planning process, communication, help with finding vendors, dealing with last minute requests from us with a smile and a YES. Everyone who attended said the food was incredible (I wish I had eaten more, I wouldn’t have eaten at all most likely had it not been for the staff! They made me a plate and made me sit for 5 minutes and eat something, so grateful to them for that!) We had such an unbelievable time at our own wedding because we never had to think of a thing once it got started! This place is amazing and the most reasonably priced place we found to boot. They could easily charge more and it would still be worth it. I can't thank them enough for giving us such an extraordinary evening through all of their hard work. It was an amazing night and they made it happen! We thank them from the bottom of our hearts.
