Where to begin with Hannah? We knew her through her husband; my husband and I are musicians, and her husband Jimmy is a drummer I’ve known for years. My husband and I met in a wedding band and have played more than 400 weddings together, so we knew exactly what we wanted and that having a coordinator or planner is a nonnegotiable if you want a seamless event where you do not have to stress. Hannah was able to anticipate issues we did not think of, create a perfect timeline, coordinate vendors, troubleshoot problems on the spot, and keep the timeline flowing ON TIME so we could enjoy our wedding. We believe Hannah was some of the best money spent. You will be in great hands with Hannah Newton Events, and we highly recommend her for all of your event planning needs.

We had Christina do our month-of/day-of coordination for our wedding and she truly went ABOVE AND BEYOND!!! It's been a few weeks and I'm still in awe with what she did with my mess of decorations that I threw at her!!! I work in a creative field myself, so I got down and dirty with the D.I.Y. for our big day. I, kid you not, had 300 colorful bud vases, 200 colorful candle holders/votives, and a massive amount of other silly decorations for her to set up for us. I did my best to stay organized for her sanity - but let me tell you - IT WAS A HUGE COMPLICATED JOB and she did it with such ease. I kept apologizing for the amount of work I was giving her, I felt like I was being a little insane with it all LOL... but she was incredibly kind, calm, and reassuring with me through the whole process and kept telling me to stop apologizing LOL!! She is so super knowledgable about everything and has such good instincts about event planning. I added on a 30 minute planning session a few months before she started her coordinating for me - and it was incredibly helpful. Aside from her eye for decorations and impeccable creativity, she was also so so so amazing in coordinating the event in general. I had multiple people from the wedding party ask "wait so that's your coordinator?" and then follow with something along the lines of "she's awesome she just told me where to go and what to do so fast - and I was like YES M'AM" All of the party loved working with her, from my parents to my in-laws. I cannot stress enough how much of an amazing person she is through and through - and if you're lucky enough to get in her books for your wedding, you won't regret it!!

Everyone needs an events coordinator whose responsibility is to make sure you--and everyone at the center of the celebration--enjoy the event. Merry by Mia will be in your corner and take away all logistical stress.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Merry by Mia was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We chose Merry by Mia as our Day-of Coordinator because of their deep familiarity with our venue, Audrey’s Farmhouse, and from the moment we met Mia, we felt at ease. She and Lindsey were not only incredibly professional, but also warm, approachable, and endlessly helpful. We had so many questions and ideas throughout the planning process, and they always had thoughtful answers or were quick to help troubleshoot. Mia made herself available right from the start, and that constant support made all the difference. On our wedding day, everything ran flawlessly thanks to Lindsey's on-site management, hard work and attention to detail. Even with my own background in event planning, I knew I was in the best hands. Lindsey and Mia coordinated seamlessly with our vendors and made sure every detail aligned with our vision. By the end of the process, they didn’t feel like vendors—they felt like friends. If you’re on the fence about hiring a Day-of Coordinator, trust me: it’s worth it. There are so many moving parts, and having someone who truly understands the ins and outs is invaluable. I feel so lucky to have had them by our side.

Shannon and Three Roots were amazing to work with! You can see from the photos (By Jessie Barentsen) below how absolutely stunning our florals were on our day. Throughout the whole planning process Shannon was so easy to communicate with and always had very prompt, timely responses. She was able to take my thoughts and visions bring them together and to life. She was very detail oriented down to having me select ribbons and vessels for our bouquets and florals. She sourced the most beautiful candles and bud vases for us as well. We had some last minute cancellations and cut down 2 tables and she worked with us to reallocate what we had paid for those tables to florals elsewhere in the space to not lose out. On our day there was so much love and hugging the groomsmen boutonnieres were falling off before the ceremony and she made new ones for all of them and placed them on. I cannot recommend Shannon enough!

I had the honor of having Vinny capture one of the most important moments of my life, my proposal to my fiancée. I chose him because I knew he would be the perfect person for such a special occasion, and he exceeded every expectation. On a snowy day, during a storm, Vinny never hesitated for a second. Despite the freezing cold, he dedicated hours with us in the park, making sure every detail was captured beautifully. The photos turned out extraordinary, truly beyond what we could have imagined. What impressed me the most was his care and dedication. My fiancée and I are not used to posing for photos, but Vinny guided us patiently and naturally through every step, making us feel comfortable and confident. His attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism transformed that day into timeless memories. I am deeply grateful for what he did for us and recommend his services without hesitation.

Warm, upbeat, and totally in sync with the energy of the wedding, they kept the line moving, the smiles wide, and the vibe lighthearted. Guests are still texting us about their photo strips, (that were high quality prints I must add) and we now have a scrapbook full of goofy grins, heartfelt moments, that they gave us night of the wedding. If you’re planning an event and want to add a dash of magic, a splash of humor, and a whole lot of memories—this photo booth team delivers. Ten out of ten, would rent again.

Hi there! Thank you so much for considering Emily Engels Photography for your wedding day. I absolutely love capturing love stories and documenting all the genuine, emotional moments that make your day uniquely yours. From the big celebrations to the quiet in-between moments, my goal is to create timeless photos that bring you right back to how everything felt. I’d love to hear more about your vision, your story, and everything you’re dreaming up for your special day. Whether we chat over coffee or hop on a quick call, I’m excited to connect and see if we’re the perfect fit for each other.

...then you better book Emily! I found Emily on Facebook when she was offering a free engagement shoot after moving back to the east coast. After seeing how amazing those pictures came out, finding out she also photographed weddings was a complete no-brainer. Emily traveled all the way down to the Jersey Shore for our wedding day and was absolutely incredible from start to finish. She was prompt, professional, beyond sweet, and truly felt like my number one fan the entire day. She traveled back and forth between me and my husband to make sure every moment was captured, adjusted her schedule when I was running behind with makeup, and got every important shot I asked for — plus so many more I didn’t even think of. One of the most meaningful things she did was include a photo of a very important family member who couldn’t attend our wedding last minute, but was on FaceTime. When I saw they were thoughtfully included in our wedding album, I was honestly blown away. If that doesn’t show genuine care and love for her clients, I don’t know what does. I cannot recommend Emily enough and will absolutely be using her for every future event we have. I chat with her often on social media and she's the kinda girl that starts as your photographer but forever feels like a friend 3
