If you’d rather hear literally anything else than the same ten overplayed wedding songs on repeat, welcome. You’re in the right place. You’re building a night your friends will still be talking about twenty years from now, the kind where the energy builds naturally, nobody leaves the floor, and every song hits like a core memory. You don't want a robotic DJ barking into a mic, and you definitely don't want a copy-pasted playlist. You want a soundtrack with actual soul and flawless taste. That’s where we come in.

“WOW! We told Justin that we and our festival friends wanted to dance the night away, and oh, how he and the team delivered! They catered to all of our unique touches (can't miss the t-shirt toss), always making sure the day would feel like ours, and then we had the chance to tear up the dance floor long into the evening! Our family and friends are still raving about the mixing and overall vibes! I did not leave the dance floor once, a huge bride goal! Thank you, Justin!”

“Brookledge is such a wonderful spot. Our wedding weekend was literally perfect! Not only because of the beautiful venue, but because of the amazing personalities behind Brookledge. Helen, Amber, and the rest of the staff make everything happen for their Brookledge couples and guests. One of my wedding guests mentioned how calm and relaxed our wedding felt, and that is exactly how I felt the entire weekend as well. The power ended up going out during our reception, and Amber already had a back up plan to keep the show running. All of our guests that stayed the weekend complimented how cute and fun the venue was, and we were lucky enough to be the first ones to use the new Trolley and Jean & Lise cabin! The rest of our guests have been raving about the venue as well. If you are considering Brookledge as your wedding venue, or even just a quick stay in one of their various lodging spots, DO IT!!!!

“I have no doubt of the talent that overflows from this studio, but mine and my (now husband!)'s hearts were set on Rob after we spent 3 hours hanging out with him, sheltering from the cold rain since we motorcycled there. His grace and warm demeanor belies how quickly and astutely he notices little details, almost like a supercomputer (or like a Rob...ot! hah). He is an expert at assessing lighting situations, but what's even more impressive is how he can massage the vibe of the room to herd people where he wants them to go. Also, his double-holster camera setup makes him look so freakin cool! I often feel like weddings are an elaborate play/dinner, meant to entertain and satiate the family members who attend. Considering the stress of being project manager and hostess, having Rob for our engagement shoot and on our wedding day was something we both looked forward to immensely. Things are fun with him! And he's so thoughtful, another relief from stressful planning and expectations. He went rooting through the shrubbery and got us pictures of adorable bumblebees, remembering that we were so smitten by them during our engagement shoot :) He didn't find any snails, though! Oh, well! I'm often critical of photographers' work because I am so critical of my own. But, without a doubt, I recognize the leagues of honed talent that Rob has, as well as his studio! The assistant, Lilly, is smart and such a sweetheart, and whoever does the editing -- Emily? -- is awesome. For people who would prefer to do photography work themselves, Ryan and I choose Rob without question. Thank you, Rob and co., for all your hard work and dedication to craft!!!!!!”

“We recently had our wedding at the 408 and could not be happier with our choice. From the staff to the atmosphere, everything was perfect and our guests had nothing but good things to say. We had about 55 people which made for a cozy and intimate wedding that never felt cramped or awkward in the space. The 408 is already so beautifully decorated which allowed us to bring in minimal items and utilize items already at the 408 such as candles, vases, and plants to decorate the tables and ceremony space. Maria (event manager) was fantastic throughout the planning process answering every question quickly and with detail, and the staff the day of was professional, incredibly friendly, and attentive. We have nothing but good things to say about the 408 and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone regardless of the event type”

“I truly could not recommend Wedding Planning Plus more! Working with Shannon and the WPP team was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and it resulted in the weekend of our absolute dreams. From our first introductory call, we knew WPP was the perfect match to bring our vision to life. My husband and I both work in events and came in with a lot of ideas- some simple and straightforward, and some ambitious, a little whacky, and involving a lot of different elements, tons of live music, and surprises for our guests and for each other. Shannon and the WPP team were right there with us. They embraced our ideas rather than steering us towards something that may have been simpler or more traditional, and then executed them seamlessly while enhancing them every step of the way. And when we weren't sure what we wanted or we needed some guidance, Shannon and her team were just as incredible at helping us figure it out. Margette, WPP's incredible in-house designer, took everything we envisioned and brought it to life and then some! Every single part of the weekend, which included 3 days and twice as many events, was beautiful, thoughtful, cohesive, and felt so uniquely us. Our families and wedding party all told us afterward how amazing, organized, and helpful Shannon and her team were throughout the entire weekend. We TRULY felt like guests at our own wedding, and got to enjoy every moment of what we had been planning without ever thinking about timelines, checklists or next steps. Shannon and Wedding Planning Plus didn't just help us plan a great wedding, they helped us create the exact wedding weekend we dreamed about, and made the entire process along the way easier and actually fun. We are endlessly grateful to Shannon, Margette, Leah, Eliza, and the entire WPP team!”

Capturing love in every color of the rainbow, Kristen Renee Photography tells authentic wedding stories through a relaxed, documentary style. Based in Albany, New York and traveling wherever love leads, Kristen and her team focus on genuine moments rather than stiff poses. From intimate elopements to vibrant celebrations, every wedding is approached with curiosity, empathy, and a deep respect for each couple’s unique story. The goal is simple: photographs that feel real, timeless, and unmistakably you.

“We worked with Kristen & Sheridan for our wedding earlier this year and are so lucky to have found them! TL;DR: From planning and day-of execution to the delivery of our wedding gallery, Kristen & Sheridan were incredible to work with. Not only were they the perfect presence for our wedding day, they captured it in such an authentic way with a stunning final product. We connected with Kristen & Sheridan the moment we met them which was important to us considering the amount of time you spend around your photographers. We did an engagement shoot prior and we not only received an incredible batch of photos, but we were able to establish a rapport that made the flow of our wedding day feel that much easier. When we had to tweak our photo schedule or change locations, they were the perfect people to help us pivot and keep things on track. And when it was time for the ceremony & reception, their discrete coverage led to incredible results that captured our day in such an incredible way. The wedding gallery they created was nothing short of amazing and we were able to see moments of friends & family we would have never seen day-of. And truly, everyone who interacted with them LOVED them. We had opted not to have a videographer and knew our photographs were going to be our primary memory of the day, and we have no notes! Kristen & Sheridan captured the perfect story of our wedding and we would recommend them to anyone!”

She crushed the ceremony music transitions and setting up our audio needs for our officiant and for our speeches. It truly felt like we were partying with an old friend with the way she picked the perfect balance of classic songs, modern faves, and some of the club classics we used to party to in the early 00’s in college. She suggested a final dance song for just us after all our guests left and it was truly the best end to the evening and something we wouldn’t have thought of at all. We’re already trying to find a way to have her DJ another party for us! Katie was our Photo Booth operator and she did an AMAZING job with our guest book and in making sure guests kept taking pictures all night long.

It’s the one-on-one relationship that you have with your event host throughout your planning that will, and absolutely should, spill over into the atmosphere of your event. Getting to know you with the desire to personalize your entertainment, not simply customize, is a large part of where creativity comes from, and not just mine, but yours as well! I love to offer many suggestions and ideas for your event but also find it just as important to hear your "unique" and "awesome" ideas.

“From start to finish, working with Upbeat Occasions was a breeze. DJ Chris was responsive to our requests and took time to really understand what we wanted, while also reading the room and keeping the energy right all night long. His transitions were smooth and the song order kept people engaged—the dance floor didn't empty once, and I was out there dancing to nearly every track. What impressed us most was how laid back he was while staying totally in tune with what the crowd needed, and our guests wouldn't stop raving about the music selection. Chris made our reception feel effortless and fun, and honestly, it's hard to imagine our day going any better. We'd absolutely recommend Upbeat Occasions to anyone looking for a DJ who actually cares about making your wedding special.”

Miri then crafted a personalized first draft with lots of wording options for us to choose from, and she carefully pieced together our thoughts to make the ceremony bespoke and meaningful. Miri's work was truly exceptional - she was caring, kind, creative, passionate, and enthusiastic throughout the entire process. We loved the idea of including a peony watering as a symbol of our love, and Miri was so excited to incorporate that element, even selecting an amazing poem to accompany it. Additionally, Miri helped us with our vows and provided thoughtful suggestions - I felt so much more at ease reading my vows for all to hear because of Miri's feedback and support!

Lindsey, a Virginia native, took her first photo class in high school and has developed a passion for photography and videography ever since!

Awarded Best of Zola
“If you're getting married and have been within thirty feet of me recently, you'll have heard me recommend Lindsey already. From our very first conversation, she was responsive, transparent, and incredibly helpful. She made it easy to understand her packages and pricing without making us jump through hoops, and her communication throughout the planning process was excellent. The planning call, timeline guidance, and shot list resources were invaluable, especially since my husband and I have large families to wrangle for photos. Our photo package also included a mini session that we used for our engagement photos, which gave us a chance to get comfortable with Lindsey before the wedding day and helped us feel much more relaxed in front of the camera. On our wedding day, Lindsey and her second photographer were organized, professional, and wonderfully calming. Somehow, Lindsey managed to give such clear direction that even someone who normally feels awkward in front of a camera felt comfortable and confident. She kept us on schedule while wrangling a large group of family and friends, captured beautiful candid moments we never would have seen ourselves, and perfectly balanced documentary-style photography with more editorial portraits. Some of my favorite photos are a candid shot of my nephew dancing with his grandparents, a hilarious picture of my mom and bridesmaid dancing to Love Shack, and a gorgeous detail photo of my shoes nestled in the flowers. We received a generous collection of sneak peeks within a week of the wedding, and the gallery system has been easy to use and share. I have already been recommending Lindsey to everyone I know and would hire her again without hesitation.”

So tell me about your loves, your plans, and let’s start telling your story!

“We can’t say enough amazing things about Kristin Lavigne of Kalz Photography. We have been absolutely raving about her since the wedding — she truly exceeded every expectation. Kristin captured the most stunning photos of us, which is saying a lot coming from Travis, who normally hates taking pictures. She made us feel completely comfortable and natural in front of the camera, and the results are beyond anything we imagined. Her energy was great and immediately put everyone at ease. Kristin is attentive, kind, caring, fun, and incredibly talented. Her eye for detail is unbelievable — she knew exactly how to capture each moment and turn it into the perfect shot. She didn’t just document our wedding; she elevated it. She made our special day even more special, and we know we’ll cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. Her assistant, Arianna, and her husband were also fantastic — the three of them worked together seamlessly and were everywhere all day, capturing every moment without ever feeling intrusive. They were the perfect team, and we are so grateful we got to work with them. Choosing Kalz Photography was one of the best decisions we made. We couldn’t be happier, and we recommend Kristin with all our hearts.”

Twelve Ponds 
Rating: 5.0 (23 reviews)
·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
Summit, NY
  • Venue
  • Up to 100 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor & indoor
  • Starts at $14,000

Twelve Ponds is a 105 acre private estate wedding venue in the Catskills, where ponds, wildflower meadows, a restored farmhouse, a barn, and a stone arch look out over open hills. We host one wedding at a time, and every booking is a full-weekend buyout. The property is yours Friday through Sunday, so the rehearsal dinner, the ceremony, the reception, and a slow Sunday morning by the water all happen in one place. No shared grounds, no six-hour window that rushes you through your own wedding. Couples marry in the meadow, at the pond, or at the arch depending on the season and the light. Fall brings color across the hills, and summer evenings run long and gold. Bring the caterer you love. We have a full commercial kitchen and supply all the tables, chairs, plates, glassware and cutlery for any occasion. Twelve Ponds is for couples who want a wedding weekend, not a wedding day. Send your date and guest count and we’ll tell you honestly whether we’re the right fit.

  • Has a dance floor for celebration
  • Rustic-chic setting
  • Provides setup and cleanup

  • Not wheelchair accessible

“Twelve Ponds feels like a world of its own. You drive in past the ponds and open fields, and then the restored farmhouse and barn come into view. Every part of the property looks different depending on the light. Morning mist over the water and golden hour behind the barn were our favorite moments of the whole weekend. What a spectacular place!”

“Seven ponds was an absolute dream for our wedding. The location itself is breathtaking and gorgeous. To The mountains, the ponds, the farm animals to the tasteful decorations, us and our guests were blown away by the beauty of this venue. Beyond being beautiful, the team at seven ponds farm were incredible. The team is really there for you the whole weekend and to help ensure your wedding is a success. We had several older guests in need of help, and they were driven by a golf cart around the venue which was extremely helpful. The food and drinks were amazing, our guests are still raving about the food. And Maria, was amazing. Our wedding was amazing, and our vision came true, and we couldn’t have done it without the support and help from the team here at seven ponds.

“My husband and I wholeheartedly recommend Normanside Country Club as a wonderful wedding venue! We celebrated our wedding there on October 3, 2026, and it was truly a memorable experience. The staff were fantastic—so helpful during the planning stages and absolutely wonderful on the day of the wedding, taking care of timeline details, decorations, and more with such care. The food at the venue is absolutely delicious, and both the outdoor views and the interior are stunning. It’s a place that made our special day even more perfect, and we’re sure it will do the same for others looking for an unforgettable setting.”
