We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! From the beginning, Wyatt was so easy to work with. He was a quick responder when we had questions, and he really understood our vision for our wedding. His website is user-friendly and the professionalism was unmatched. On our big day, he kept the energy up through cocktail hour, the entrances, first dances, speeches, and had everyone on the dance floor all night long. Everything went so smooth and we didn't have to worry about a thing. He assured us that he knew how to read the crowd and play the perfect mix of songs to keep the party going, and he was right. All of our guests had such a blast. We received SO many compliments about the music and atmosphere. We also took advantage of Empire State Event's PhotoBooth option and it was a HIT. We chose to get digital copies that were available the night of the wedding, and we got the link to all of the photos the very next day! If you and your fiance are looking for a DJ who’s professional, fun, and truly knows how to keep everyone dancing all night, we highly recommend Wyatt and Empire State Events! My now-husband and I are telling all of our engaged friends to book Wyatt because him and his team are just that good!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Rob, Tyler, and the team. Rob did my high school senior photos 10 years ago and has been part of the family since. He’s done all of my sisters’ weddings, and most recently mine on October 14. At each one he amazes me with his creative eye. The photos he captured for us are absolutely stunning. They’re truly magical pieces of art. He makes you feel comfortable the entire day. He laughs with you, he always makes sure to you have the good lighting, AND when I needed help with my bustle, he was right there with safety pins to help!! He is truly one of a kind.

I take pride in the fact that I’m a connector and listener. I love getting to know people and learning and helping to share their stories. And I’m happiest when I’m able to help people take those stories and turn them into something meaningful, whether it’s a wedding ceremony or a marriage proposal or whatever milestone you’re holding space for. Through thoughtful questions and deep conversations, we'll collaborate on crafting your one-of-a-kind ceremony.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we were planning our wedding we originally thought of just asking a friend to marry us. But after learning more about what a good officiant can offer we were incredibly happy to have changed plans and gone with Miriam! Miriam perfectly balanced being both professional and also getting to know us as a couple and individuals. She was very friendly and always a joy to talk to in our calls. The ceremony itself was not something we had given a ton of thought to, and weren’t sure exactly what we wanted outside of having a few concepts (short, secular, not too serious). Miriam was able to offer us advice, recommendations, and guidance throughout the process as we created our ceremony. From sending us examples of readings that fit our vibe, to explaining different unity ceremony ideas and helping us come up with one that fit us, Miriam made what could have been a stressful planning experience into a breeze. Miriam separately reviewed both our private and public vows, gave us feedback to make sure both our tones were the same, and took care of dropping off the paperwork to make the marriage official. We knew we picked the right person when our friends asked us afterwards how long we had to look to find an officiant with the same sense of humor as us. We would absolutely recommend Miriam to anyone asking!

In true Kristin fashion, she went above and beyond, helping our day run more smoothly with her professionalism and attention to detail. We are thrilled with our sneak peak and know that the final product will be well worth the wait. Kristin has felt more like a friend than ‘just’ a photographer and I knew when she captured our engagement photos, it would only be more amazing come time for the wedding. I would without a doubt recommend her to anyone! Her husband is an excellent edition to the team and an absolute delight to have along for the ride.

Hi, I’m Bridget — but you can call me Bee, cause that’s what my friends call me! And since we’re basically already best friends, let me tell you a secret: taking pictures isn’t even the thing I love most about my job. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m as obsessed with taking gorgeous, dripping-in-light photos that you’ll look back on for ages as much as the next photographer. But what I really love? Meeting the most kind-hearted people and getting to know them on a level much deeper than the typical client-photographer relationship.

Thomas and his team were wonderful for our wedding in December! Right from the start he was super helpful to give us all the information and didn't sugar coat anything. I will say I was a little suspicious at first when he said "I can do any style you want" I know some photographers only stick to certain styles. And with our wedding being in Sturbridge MA I was expecting a travel fee. But he wanted us to make sure that he was a professional, he keeps things fair all across the board. Thomas is also super quick when it comes to messaging! If I had any questions he would respond rather quickly. He surpassed my expectations with how accommodating him and his team were when working with us, even changing our minds about packages and addon's only a couple weeks out. On the actually day of the wedding, Thomas and his team were truly our hype men! Even when I was getting ready with my bridesmaids he was in on all of our jokes and making us laugh.

Photographing weddings and elopements is a privilege that I do not take lightly. I treat each moment with as much care as if it were my own! While I am happy to take on weddings of any size, I specialize in intimate weddings or engagement sessions where I can embrace a documentary, candid approach. My favorite moments to capture are those quiet, unplanned interactions. I adore the small details. The moments that sometimes get overlooked but often times help tell the story of your wedding day the most. I thrive with couples who aren’t afraid to be silly and embrace the moments as they come as opposed to forcing it.

I feel so blessed and grateful to have found Brookledge for my wedding day. Helen, Brooke, and the rest of the Brookledge team are simply the best. We chose Brookledge after a FaceTime call with Helen. We live 5 hours away and wanted to make a decision. After speaking with Helen, we just knew that this was the place. We were so supposed through the planning stage. They recommended excellent vendors. Our guests loved the food! We chose the wedding weekend option where you could stay Friday to Sunday and had friends and family members stay on the property as well. My husband and I decided to add on Thursday night, and I would definitely recommend if you are traveling to Brookledge! Being the space early was so helpful. Brookledge really is a gem and if you have the opportunity to get married there, do it! You won’t regret it.

Kozmo Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Rensselaer, NY

Hello ! first and foremost, congratulations on your engagement as you embark on this new chapter of your lives. My name is Kevin and I started the ground work Kozmo Photography back in 2014. My goal has always been to capture the uniqueness of each and every couple on the biggest day of their journey together. It is therefore my belief that a great wedding photographer must be able to capture the big and small details throughout the day with minimal interference while being keenly aware of the surrounding conditions. This is my promise as I strive to deliver to each and every couple the wedding photos they deserve.

I would recommend Kozmo Photography to anyone getting married. We had a courthouse wedding, and Kevin still went out of his way to capture the most special moments. He was professional, yet was still able to keep the mood light and fun. He knew the perfect locations to capture the most beautiful photos. He was extremely patient and willing to incorporate our idea with his. He was very responsive/communicative throughout the entire process. He even had the sneak peeks available the very next day. 10/10 would recommend.

The Rosemary at Spano Lake was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, Jackie and Danny were quick to respond, knowledgeable about their offerings, and easy to work with in planning all the details. On the day of the wedding, they were attentive and went the extra mile to ensure our vision came to life. The venue itself is intimate and naturally beautiful, creating the perfect backdrop for our special day.

Jaci Berkopec Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Rensselaer, NY

Hi, I'm Jaci Berkopec! A self portrait of me would include a frozen pizza, caesar salad bag, and a bottle of white wine. But more importantly I am a wedding, lifestyle and adventure elopement photographer based out of NYC. Weddings and elopements are one of my passions because witnessing love and marriage is one of the most beautiful things we can witness. When shooting with me, expect to have tons of fun and lots of laughs because I like to be weird! Life is too short to be normal! I photograph all types of love.

We 1000000% recommend Jaci for any of your photography needs! She took our engagement photos and shot our wedding last weekend and she is an absolute DREAM to work with. Her confidence, poise, warmth and positivity helped us stay calm and have fun during the busy wedding day. We heard so many compliments from our loved ones who were also so impressed with her attitude and demeanor. And this is all before we saw the photos: her work is UNREAL. We are truly blown away- they are stunning, and capture the JOY and FUN and LOVE we experienced. I get emotional looking at just the sneak peek gallery because it so beautifully memorializes what it felt like on that day, and now we can share it with our grandparents who couldn't make the journey, and ourselves for decades to come. HIRE JACI!!!

A Lively Event

  • Planner
  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $3,150
  • Serves Rensselaer, NY

At ​A Lively Event, we specialize in thoughtful, detail-driven wedding planning for couples. Our focus is simple: bringing your unique wedding vision to life while building a genuine relationship with you every step of the way. We believe that planning your wedding should be just as joyful as the day itself. We prioritize communication, trust, and collaboration. Whether you’re dreaming of a romantic mountain ceremony or an elegant ballroom celebration, our team is here to guide you with expert logistics, creative solutions, and unwavering support. We handle the behind-the-scenes details so you can stay present and excited for your big day.

From the very first phone call with Katie with A Lively Event, I knew she was meant to be in our lives. We instantly clicked. Hiring her felt less like choosing a wedding planner and more like gaining a built-in best friend who also happens to be a logistics genius and life-saving personal assistant all wrapped in one. Katie has a remarkable gift for bringing every vision together seamlessly, even when there are many voices, ideas, and passionate opinions swirling in the mix. Every detail was handled with care, every question answered before I even had to ask. If anything went sideways (and let’s be real, there’s always something), she swooped in with grace and handled it before I even realized there was an issue. I never once had to stress or lift a finger. She was our voice, our advocate, and the one person who always ensured our wishes were front and center, and truly was the key to how perfect our wedding day turned out to be. Thanks to Katie, those few precious hours of our wedding day became some of the most unforgettable memories of our lives. Her heart, her hustle, and her unwavering support made every moment perfect. We are forever grateful to have worked with her, and even more grateful that she’s now a part of our life beyond the wedding. If you want someone who will champion your love story with joy and finesse, Katie is the one.
