“From our first call with Ben, we knew we would be in good hands for our September 2025 wedding. After briefly discussing the type of music we love, Ben immediately understood our vibe and listed off several other artists he correctly assumed we were fans of. Leading up to the wedding, he was very easy to communicate with, taking time to understand what we were looking for and the different vibes we were hoping to create. We were impressed with just how well-versed he is in different genres of music. On the wedding day, Ben brought that same positive and energetic energy, which made our wedding so special. We trusted him 100% with the party he was creating, and he did not disappoint! We also rented a photo booth from NT Weddings which was, of course, a total hit. (photos attached). We feel so lucky and appreciative to have found Non-Traditional DJs!”

  • Caterer
  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

We are a Queens-based community roastery that brings craft hot and iced drinks to the greater NYC area. Started with a mission to build community at our brick and mortar in Elmhurst, we expanded to do mobile so that we can be a part of building community through the connection of coffee throughout New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

“My wife and I absolutely loved having Elm Roastery's coffee cart at our wedding. It's a unique addition to a wedding, perfect for coffee lovers. I have to preface that we knew Elm Roastery very well before our wedding. They've established a place in the Elmhurst community for their excellent beverages made with a rotating selection of beans freshly-roasted on-site, delicious pastries, and for their dedication to creating a special space for community events and partnerships. We often frequented their cafe before our wedding, and every time we return for coffee now, it brings back warm memories. We were ecstatic to discover their coffee cart service, and quickly booked them for our wedding. We added-on ube lattes and 40 almond croissants, and custom cups & banner. They more than delivered, the design was elegant and charming! Our guests quickly snatched up the croissants, and were lined up for the coffee throughout the booking. It was a huge hit. We used our newlyweds' privilege to skip the line and managed to grab coffee and croissants for a much needed break in our fun but busy day. Compared to the gut-wrenching quotes from our other vendors (catering, photo, makeup), it was clear they offered a great value, without the severe "wedding tax" you'll see from your other vendors. It was a no-brainer for us. You won't regret hiring them for your wedding; we certainly didn't. They were one of the most memorable amenities at our wedding -- a treat for us, as much as it is for our guests. And you'll be happy to know you're supporting a small-business that is truly dedicated to improving the local community.”

  • Officiant
  • Offers 7 ceremony types
  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

Most couples who work with me take their relationship seriously, but don't take themselves too seriously. They're educated, do Wordle, read the NY Times and have a healthy sense of reality. Since 2011, I've been writing and performing personal, meaningful and refreshingly engaging ceremonies. Couples work with me in an easy, collaborative way. I take guest experience and your wishes very seriously. I have the ability to command a room, a writer's knack for shaping a story, an emcee's sense of timing, and experience at the most prestigious venues. My BFA in Acting (Boston University) and MFA in Creative Writing (NYU) serve me well.

“I cannot say enough amazing things about Chris!! He came super highly recommended by our planner so we felt lucky to be able to book him for our date. From the first meeting, Chris was engaging and fun, yet professional and had a clear process that he explained to us. That process, included questions that dove deep into our relationship and love story and was extremely fun for us to complete. As I look back, his process feels like a super special part of the planning process. Then came wedding day…. Chris was phenomenal!!! The ceremony was so fun and exactly our vibe. He involved our guests the perfect amount and the ceremony felt so special and exactly what we wanted. Multiple guests raved about him, but beyond that, told me they got a chance to talk with him afterwards which I thought was so special that he stayed and engaged with guests. I would rate him more than five stars if I could, book Chris Shelley!!!”

Awarded Best of Zola
“DJ Kenny was the absolute best!! Working with him was truly a blessing. As a bride with ADHD, his calming presence paired with his phenomenal organization skills & attention to detail helped my brain feel at ease — which was huge for me. He was honest, supportive, responsive, personable, & highly professional in every aspect. He made my husband & I feel heard, prioritized, & fully taken care of. He is also excellent in both English & Spanish! He offered a variety of options with how much Spanish versus English we wanted incorporated into the wedding — which was very important to us since I come from a Dominican family & my husband’s family is Colombian & Ecuadorian. He did an amazing job blending in all cultures along with our Americanized culture as well. On our wedding day, DJ Kenny & his wife were incredible — they work so beautifully as a team & took their role seriously from start to finish. We cannot rave enough about them. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares & delivers, DJ Kenny is it!”

  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

Hey there! My name is Marilyn. I live in New York City with my sweet partner, and our orange cat Maple. I’m an introverted, soft-hearted mush with an insatiable need to document the beauty in life. Practicing self-portraits in middle school eventually led me to pursue my photography degree from New York University, and I have been joyfully creating photos of wedding days ever since. To me, weddings are a magical display of the human spirit. It’s my biggest honor and joy to create imagery that captures that human magic - especially in a way that breaks the boundaries of historically gendered traditions.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Working with Marilyn was such a treat. She’s so warm, and communicating with her is a breeze. Both my husband and I were more interested in capturing the moments of our wedding day rather than spending loads of time on staged family portraits. Marilyn and her assistant Emma were great at getting the shots your grandparents will want while also capturing the essence of your night. She asked great questions, made sure we felt comfortable at every turn, and fully captured the essence of my (camera-shy) husband. Don’t hesitate to work with her!!”

Thalia is a wedding photographer based in NYC and available worldwide. Inspired by art, music, and the quiet moments in between, she brings a calm, intentional approach to the way she documents weddings. With over 11 years of experience, she works closely with her couples from planning through the wedding day, capturing honest emotion and meaningful details. When she’s not photographing weddings, she’s likely holding a dirty chai latte or re-watching The Office.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Thalia is truly exceptional -- not only is she an extremely talented photographer, but she is incredibly easy and fun to work with. She is artistic, organized, leads an amazing team, and could not have made us felt more at ease during our wedding. We were absolutely blown away looking through our wedding album. Thalia and her team managed to capture every single emotion we felt throughout the weekend, in a way that transported us back to each moment. One of the defining moments of our wedding was when it started to rain during the ceremony - it was unexpected, joyful chaos, and made for one of the most special parts of the weekend. Thalia somehow managed to run in front of my husband and I as we were sprinting, smiles on our faces, back to the barn with our guests to wait out the rain. That single moment must have been so difficult to capture, but is one of the most incredible photos in the album. My husband and I didn't end up doing an engagement photoshoot, so our wedding was the first time we were formally in front of a camera. Thalia offered clear but gentle direction that made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, helped us lean into the moment, and made us feel just like ourselves. We got rave reviews from our wedding party, family, and friends about Thalia and her team - she felt like part of our friend group throughout the weekend. Her energy, artistic talent, optimism, and enthusiasm is unmatched. We can't imagine anyone else capturing our wedding weekend. We absolutely love Thalia and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to hire a fantastic wedding photographer!”

“Sound River Studios was the perfect venue. From our first visit we were amazed at how personable and committed to making our day special the team was. While most venues unlocked the doors and let us take a quick look, Una spent the better part of an hour giving us a full tour, showing us photos of countless possible setups, and answering any and every question we could think of. Throughout the planning process Una was always ready to help, not to mention tell us a great story. Nikola was also gracious enough to host us for a great tasting of the wine offerings from the family vineyard. The view of the city speaks for itself, but the space is also beautiful and very flexible. We were able to bring in a variety of outside vendors to transform the space in a way that fit our vision and felt very personal. SRS was easy to work with and the day of ran very smoothly, even with a variety of vendors. We couldn't be more happy with our experience. Highly recommend!”

My partner is quite shy and doesn't enjoy his photo being taken, but Maya made him feel so comfortable and confident. We are an LGBTQ couple, and Maya made us feel so valid and loved expressing who we are. Maya was so communicative throughout the whole wedding planning process, and constantly provided us with resources to help us with our general planning. Maya and their co-photographer took so much care and detail on the day of the wedding to get every small detail to every huge moment. Everything worked like literal clockwork, everything felt super chill and fun, and even shooting large family photos (with way too many cousins) ended up being a breeze!

“A dream has recently come true, that of joining my destiny with my partner from now until old age. We are extremely grateful that we had Ioana with us, who honored us with her glamorous, sweet, cinematic style. Every time we go through the photos, we feel as if we are watching the most successful film of 2023, a masterpiece. There were moments that my husband and I forgot to prepare, being caught in the moment and the stress of the event tho Ioana gave us the wonderful surprise of capturing incredible and intimate pieces of memories . Her work manages to impress us everytime we watch our photos and make us feel loved and beautiful. Therefore, I recommend Mrs. Ioana Stavar with all my trust and love. I am sure that she will take care of you, with as much passion as she has for photography!”

“Dj Sparkx Entertainment was an incredible experience from start to finish. From our initial contact to the post-wedding follow-up, he was consistently professional and attentive. Our wedding took place in December 2024, just a few days after Christmas—a timing that had both its challenges and blessings. Despite the busy holiday season, Dj Sparkx took the time to thoroughly go over all our preferences and ensure everything was perfectly planned for our big day. On the wedding day, he exceeded all our expectations. Our guests are still raving about how engaging he was and how skillfully he played music that resonated with both sides of our family. Dj Sparkx masterfully balanced the Caribbean spice with the classic American hits, making the event enjoyable for everyone. He is versatile and does his research for any cultural background! He also made it a point to ensure that my husband and I had time on the dance floor and enjoyed ourselves. What stood out the most was how collaborative he was throughout the process. He listened to our ideas, shared his expert opinions, and every suggestion he made elevated our wedding to another level. Trusting a vendor with one of the most important days of your life can be daunting, but my advice is simple: trust Dj Sparkx! The photobooth was also a fantastic addition. Dj Sparkx added a special touch by surprising us with a photo album filled with messages from our guests—a keepsake we’ll treasure forever. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to work with Dj Sparkx. He is professional, cost-efficient, and, most importantly, an absolute joy to work with. Highly recommended!”
