WOW, SPECTACULAR, AMAZING, FANTASTIC…These are all words we would use to describe Chris and all of Limitless Entertainment. We had the pleasure of booking Chris for our wedding during his busy schedule and we could not have made a better choice. He made sure we had everything we wanted and more! From providing music for our ceremony, reception, and after party, to all the amazing details including dancing on the clouds, cold sparklers, CO2 gun (my favorite), handouts, all kinds of lighting that really set the scene, as well as Photo Booth for our guests to help us capture the evening! He was a one stop shop which made it incredibly easy to work with only one vendor for all of our entertainment needs. He ensured all of our music was exactly what we wanted and did a fantastic job MC’ing the evening. He is incredibly personable and has a fantastic “whatever you need” attitude which ensured our day was as perfect as could be! I cannot recommend him enough for all your DJ/Entertainment needs!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Hamilton Manor. From start to finish, our experience was nothing short of extraordinary, and our wedding day exceeded every dream we had. First and foremost, working with our coordinator Diana was an absolute joy. She is kind, organized, calm, and endlessly gracious—exactly the person you want guiding you through such an important day. Her confidence and attention to detail made the entire planning process feel manageable and reassuring, and on the wedding day itself, everything ran seamlessly. We were able to truly relax and enjoy every moment knowing we were in such capable hands. The owners of Hamilton Manor were also incredibly flexible and accommodating, which made a huge difference throughout the planning process. Every question, request, and adjustment was met with warmth and professionalism. The day-of staff—especially Hannah and Lloyd—were phenomenal. Attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely kind, they made sure everything (and everyone) was taken care of. The entire staff was outstanding, and their teamwork showed in how smoothly the day unfolded. Nothing felt rushed or out of place—it truly ran like a well-oiled machine. Our guests are still talking about how stunning the venue was. The décor, the atmosphere, and the holiday touches were absolutely magical. In fact, so many of our friends and family have used photos from our wedding as their Christmas card photos, social media profile pictures, and keepsakes—that’s how beautiful the setting was. The cocktail hour was abundant and delicious, with an impressive spread that wowed our guests, and the dessert display was just as memorable. And the food overall? Outstanding—truly restaurant-quality and beautifully presented. Hamilton Manor delivered an experience that was elegant, warm, joyful, and unforgettable. Our family and friends were blown away, and we will be cherishing memories of this day for the rest of our lives. If you are considering this venue for your wedding or event, look no further—you will be in the very best hands.

I loved working with Oh So Lovely Makeup & Hair!! I was so stressed about finding an MUA for my wedding. I kept putting it off, and by the time I reached out to Oh So Lovely Makeup & Hair, I thought it would be too late. Victoria was the sweetest!! She had availability and explained her process. I booked her for a trial. The trial was a lovely time. Her space was calming, and she worked with me to build the ideal look. She took all my stress away! I booked her for the wedding and couldn't be happier! On the day of the wedding, she came to the hotel, set up, and did my makeup along with my bridesmaids. She worked with everyone to give them the look that best suited them. All of my girls said they felt so beautiful because of her makeup. Victoria did my makeup and hair, and everything went so smoothly. We ended a little early, even! I did not run behind on my wedding day!

With backgrounds in hospitality, design, and event planning, we work side by side to create celebrations that feel organized, thoughtful, and beautifully put together!

We’re big believers that it’s the little details, thoughtful choices, and behind the scenes care that end up making the biggest difference on your wedding day, and that mindset guides everything we do!

Awarded Best of Zola
My now husband and I LOVED working with Amalia and her wife, Jenna, to bring our wedding night dinner to life. My husband and I chose a courthouse wedding ceremony - just us - but knew we wanted to invite close friends and family to an intimate dinner that evening to celebrate. I wasn't sure where to begin - I contacted Amalia and sent her photos from Pinterest as my inspiration. Amalia truly blew us away from day 1 - she created custom dinner invites for us based on my inspiration photos. She sent over multiple proofs of her one-of-a-kind digital designs until it was perfectly done. I never had to reach out to her - Amalia was on top of my deadlines and full of ideas for my dream night! Her communication is excellent. My husband and I picked a venue in Scotch Plains, NJ to host our dinner. The restaurant offered private, charming rooms for special events. Amalia contacted the venue and worked out all the fine details of setup - I truly did not have to lift a finger! I shared my ideas & inspirations with Amalia for how I imagined the dinner to look. I knew I wanted to keep the wildflower color scheme of my bouquet in the details. However, I let her know I was very open to letting her take the lead in designing the setup. I am not a type-A person or planner, so I was grateful she stepped up and let her creativity flow. As seen in attached photos, Amalia designed our dream wedding night dinner! My husband and I arrived before our guests and were blown away with the ambiance and warmth of the room. Amalia designed custom welcome notes, name cards and signage for us that matched our initial invites. She embedded special details such as mini figurines of our beloved lab and pug, and printed framed a photo I sent earlier in the day of my courthouse ceremony! She and her wife, Jenna, handmade flower bouquets for the table and lit beautiful hand-painted candles in the center. She even designed thank you cards/ keepsake magnets on plantable paper for our guests. Amalia is a dream to work with - her passion for weddings & design is so evident! She is compassionate and professional- I had a truly seamless experience with her. I am forever grateful to Amalia for planning my wedding night dinner - an evening my husband and I will cherish forever. We are considering a vow renewal or more traditional wedding in a few years, and without hesitation look forward to hiring Amalia again!

Awarded Best of Zola
I’ve known Norman (and the newlyweds) for years, and watching him lead the ceremony was truly amazing. I had the pleasure of being a bridesmaid, and they honestly couldn’t have picked a better officiant! He made everything feel so warm and personal, heartfelt, and even a little fun! He gave us smiles, he gave us laughs, and he perfectly captured the couple’s personalities. Weddings can be hectic and stressful, but he made sure that on the big day they were calm, confident, and completely at ease in front of everyone. It was very natural, very organic, and I loved that. The ceremony flowed beautifully, and so many of us were smiling, laughing, and even tearing up at the perfect moments. The bridesmaids cried, the groomsmen cried, we all cried. But it was all happy tears, such a beautiful thing to be apart of! We all had such a great time, and you could just tell how much thought and care he put into making their day special. If you want someone who’s professional, warm, and makes the whole experience unforgettable, someone who’s going to reflect on your personalities and your journey as a couple, and someone to really move and make your guests feel that love in the atmosphere, Norman is the man to call! You surely won’t regret it.

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!

She helped us visualize the full timeline from start to finish, and her artistic eye and direction made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. The photos are stunning—capturing every moment from getting ready to our bubble exit, and she stayed through the very end with no extra fees. Our album is gorgeous and such a special keepsake from the day. We can’t recommend Jamie enough!

Awarded Best of Zola
We are absolutely over the moon with our experience working with Lisa Blanche! From the very beginning, Lisa and her husband Pieter made us feel like more than just clients—they made us feel cared for, celebrated, and completely at ease. We are NOT naturals at posing for photos and were nervous going into this process, but they changed our whole POV and made it so fun for us. They’re so warm and fun to be around. They work with you and laugh with you. Their calm energy and kindness on our wedding day made such a difference, and they felt like part of the group with us. We’ve only received our preview photos so far, and they are stunning. Our friends and family can’t stop talking about them—every single shot feels like a piece of art! Lisa emphasizes they capture the moments, not just photos, and that could not be more true. The photos are so real and full of life and emotion—we already know the full album (which we’ll get in a few weeks!) is going to blow us away. Lisa and Pieter are total pros— organized, and skilled beyond words—but it’s their personalities and presence that make them truly unforgettable. We will actually miss them and hope to stay in touch! They even sent us the sweetest little care package when we first booked with them— just the best people ever. We didn’t book videography, but our in-laws did, and Justin (their amazing videographer) created a complimentary engagement video sample for us—and it was so beautiful. He was just as friendly and kind as the rest of the team, and we honestly wish we had added him to our wedding package too. She also brings her polaroid camera along and gets such fun candid photos. If you’re thinking about hiring a photographer for your wedding day — hire Lisa Blanche! You’ll get stunning photos, but more than that, you’ll get to work with some of the most lovely and thoughtful people out there. We’re endlessly grateful to them for capturing our favorite memories so beautifully. We are so happy- Thank you Lisa and Pieter 3

My husband and I got married in September and worked with Carolyn and Kristina for our wedding florals. From the first intro meeting, both women were extremely kind, attentive and clearly amazing at their job. We had no doubts after our first call that we wanted to work with them. We had a few calls throughout our wedding journey and I was never concerned with how amazing the flowers would turn out! I felt comfortable enough to express what changes I wanted to make (very minimal) and was happy with the revisions the team presented at our next meeting. Carolyn and Kristina are such a pleasure to work with and made our whole wedding floral experience seamless, fun and easy.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were worried we wouldn’t be able to find a photographer who could capture everything we wanted and truly fit our needs. Then we found Shelby—and from that moment on, every worry disappeared. We cannot recommend Shelby highly enough for all your wedding photography needs. From the very beginning, she stood out—not just for her stunning work we first saw on Instagram, but for the connection she built with us right after our initial call. We knew instantly we had found our photographer. Shelby’s meticulous planning, sharp attention to detail, and vibrant, fun energy made the entire experience an absolute joy from start to finish. She went above and beyond, not only capturing breathtaking images of our wedding day but also taking the time to truly get to know us as a couple. Our engagement shoot was the perfect warm-up. Meeting Shelby beforehand, getting comfortable in front of the camera, and building that trust meant that on our wedding day, it didn’t feel like we were meeting a vendor—it felt like we were welcoming a friend. On the big day itself, Shelby, her assistant, and her videographer were a dream team: professional, punctual, proactive, and seamless in their coordination. They helped everything flow effortlessly, and we both agreed they were hands down our favorite vendors to work with. The photos speak for themselves, but beyond that, Shelby gave us an experience we’ll never forget. My wife and I kept saying how incredibly lucky we were to have her as our photographer. If you’re searching for someone who will deliver jaw-dropping photos while making the process fun, stress-free, and deeply personal, Shelby is the one.

I’m a drummer, a mother of two amazing kids, and a proud owner of an 80lb Samoyed. My passion for photography is deeply influenced by my family legacy—my grandmother was a dedicated full-time photographer who spent her life capturing and hand-coloring her own images. Growing up immersed in her art has profoundly shaped my own approach to photography. As a photographer, I'd love to capture the journey of two people in love, telling the genuine and touching story of their life together. I strive to create images that convey heartfelt narratives and reflect the true essence of your relationship and the moments you share.

We hired Momo for our Chinese-Bengali fusion wedding celebration in lower east side of Manhattan in mid June 2024. We had a very small venue with 10 family members and 30 closest and dearest friends of ours for an intimate gathering. Momo’s camera closely followed and captured the unfolding of the event and the subtlest facial expressions of our family, guests and myself throughout the night. I got to know about her work from Red (Chinese Reddit) before entrusting her for one of the most important events of my life, but was still caught exhilarated by her work product on our event — her passion about photography and deep expertise in its technicality shined through the over 200-photo-well-woven storyline. Besides her exceptional work and high professionalism throughout our pre-and-during event communication, I appreciated her confident and genuine approach which I found down-to-earth, super helpful and reassuring — she really put in the work to understand you and amplify your shining traits. It’s such a pleasant and unforgettable experience to work with Momo. I would highly recommend her for any couples who are looking for wedding photographers.

We are Jenn and Ro, a husband and wife team based out of Central Jersey. An AOL chatroom brought us together in 2003 when we were high school seniors and we got married a few years later. Shortly after our wedding, we fell in love with photography and all things wedding. As a boutique studio, we love to create a relationship with our couples that lasts throughout the entire wedding process and beyond. Our goal is to make sure you are having fun and enjoying every second of your day while we are working behind the scenes to capture every moment.

Awarded Best of Zola
J&R Photography was the best choice for our wedding photography! From the moment we first spoke with Jenn and Ro about being one of our wedding vendors, we were immediately impressed by their friendly, and personalized communication style. They made it so easy to understand what they offer and what their photography style is (exactly what we were looking for). They truly want to be the best fit for your special day and will make sure you understand everything before booking. After we booked our date, Jenn and Ro sent us the most personalized package (including samples of their work, date night activity cards, the BEST sugar cookies personalized with our wedding date and a Starbucks gift card for wedding planning). It was the KINDEST gesture that made us feel so special and took a little bit of stress off planning! Our engagement shoot was nothing short of perfect; Jenn and Ro made us feel SO comfortable behind the camera and made us so excited for our wedding day. It was incredible getting to know them better in addition to capturing early memories. On our wedding day, they created a warm and laid-back atmosphere, making us feel like we were just having fun rather than being constantly photographed. The quality of their work is stunning - their natural, candid shots captured all the joy and special moments of our day. They sent us digital previews so quickly and even gifted us 5 8x10 prints that we came home from our honeymoon to! My cousin booked Jenn and Ro for her 2020 wedding, and I knew as soon as I saw her gorgeous photos that J&R Photography was the team for us. Five years later, we know we could not have made a better choice. We can't wait to see the rest of our photos and w e couldn't recommend them more highly!

Ashley is such a kind and wonderful person to work with! She made me and my bridal party feel comfortable going up to the big day. Pricing was reasonable and I went with her originally because she did not require more than 2 minimum people/services the day of on site, which put me at ease in case my girls decided later they did not want makeup done. Most services to go on site had a large minimum. Any questions I had in email she responded quickly which is a big help in the wedding planning process. On the big day she made sure my skin was prepped well and the cheeks/lips she was able to build up and make tweaks as we go so it would work perfectly with my look. The photos were amazing with the tones she picked and I got a slight glow as the night went on which is what I wanted, and it stayed all night! To add to it, she gave me the lip product to keep for touch ups at no cost! This is exactly who you want to be with you on your big day. Thank you so much Ashley!

Seamless I Do's was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, their communication was efficient, clear, and professional. The quality of their work was truly stellar - they were incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of. Bebe was heaven sent. She coordinated all the vendor meals and even ran out to buy additional flowers when my mother expressed concern over the size of her mother of the bride bouquet. I cannot recommend Seamless I Do's highly enough - they made our special day run seamlessly from start to finish.

I don't even know where to begin — our June 13th, 2025 wedding at the Olde Mill Inn was truly everything we dreamed of and more. From the moment we arrived to the final sendoff, it felt like we had stepped straight into a Hallmark movie. The Setting We used both the Grain House and the Grand Ballroom, and each space had its own charm. Our ceremony took place in the courtyard, and it was absolutely magical — the gardens, the stone walls, the romantic ambiance... it all felt timeless and intimate. We had about 100 guests, and everyone kept commenting on how beautiful and well-thought-out everything was. The Team Lea and John were nothing short of amazing. Lea was with us every step of the way through the planning process, answering all our questions (and calming my nerves more than once). John, our maître d’, was a dream on the day of — he made sure we were always taken care of, that everything ran smoothly, and that we actually got to eat during cocktail hour and dinner (which so many brides don’t!). The Experience It’s honestly hard to pick one thing I loved most because everything — the service, the food, the atmosphere, the convenience of having our guests stay on-site — was perfect. The staff made us feel like royalty, but also like family. Every detail felt intentional and personalized. It wasn’t just a wedding; it was an experience. A Moment I’ll Never Forget There was a quiet moment after the ceremony, before heading to cocktail hour, when John pulled us aside, gave us a glass of champagne, and let us soak it all in — just the two of us. That pause, in the middle of such a whirlwind day, meant the world. Final Thoughts If you're considering the Olde Mill Inn for your wedding, don’t hesitate. The entire day felt like it was lifted from a movie set, but it was our movie — beautiful, heartfelt, and joy-filled. We’ll forever be grateful to Lea, John, and the entire team for giving us the best day of our lives. Forever grateful, Danielle and James

I am Paul, a husband, father, and photographer serving the east coast NY, NJ, tri-state area, and available for travel worldwide. I have a joy and enthusiasm for life, love, and marriage. I love creating beautiful photos and capturing moments and memories but more importantly I love to photograph weddings and engagements because I love marriage and the love it signifies.

Awarded Best of Zola
Paul was absolutely incredible to work with! We had the pleasure of working with him for both our engagement shoot and wedding, and he made every moment enjoyable. From the start, Paul was kind, communicative, and incredibly creative. My husband and I can sometimes feel awkward in front of the camera, but Paul made us feel completely at ease. He avoided overly posed shots and instead guided us into natural, flattering poses, (but still fun and creative) which turned out stunning. We were a bit nervous about finding a great photo location without needing to drive somewhere else. We thought we might be able to take photos around the grounds; Paul arrived early and scouted out the best spots, ensuring we had the perfect backdrops for our pictures. We had a few edit requests, and Paul was more than accommodating. On the wedding day, he was meticulous in capturing all of our group photo requests and making sure no detail was missed. At the reception, Paul expertly documented all the little moments that will allow us to relive those joyful memories for years to come. We couldn't be happier with our photos!
