The Kristin Trotta Wedding Band 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

With powerful vocals and original arrangements The Kristin Trotta Wedding Band brings a unique and customized experience to your wedding. Kristin is equally at home belting Aretha blues as she is crooning Christina ballads and impresses with her vocal versatility. Uton’s powerful range and stage presence bring all the entertainment you could ask for. From a killer rhythm section to a stellar presentation, we promise to make your special day memorable and fun for all ages! Contact us here for more information.

Choosing Kristin as part of the live band for our wedding reception was one of the best vendor decisions my husband and I made. From the very beginning, Kristin was incredibly kind and easy to work with. She even learned 5 new songs for us! She learned songs for our first dance, father/daughter dance, mother/son dance, and even learned Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” for me, a huge Swiftie! Kristin performed a whole range of songs, from pop to rock to even some oldies that pleased my older relatives! Everyone at our wedding found a song to dance to by the end of the night. Our guests kept coming up to my husband and I just to say how much they loved the band, but notably, Kristin! Needless to say, Kristin absolutely rocked it and created some special moments that my husband and I will never forget! She came out into the crowd to dance and interact with my two young nieces (ages 4 and 2), who, in turn, instantly became part of the show. We cannot recommend Kristin Trotta and her Wedding Band more highly as a live band for your wedding day. They will for sure make your wedding one to remember!

Tatiana Kiseleva Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

Hi! I’m a New York-based photographer currently residing in Long Island City, New York. For the past ten years, I've had the privilege of photographing New Yorkers and visitors from around the world. I've cultivated lasting relationships with clients, many of whom return year after year. Beyond technical skills, I'm proud to offer a client experience that is warm, thoughtful, and deeply personal.

Awarded Best of Zola
Tatiana came highly recommended, and for good reason. We had her do 3 separate shoots for us - engagement, rehearsal dinner, and wedding. She is very responsive, easy to work with, and of course, takes beyond beautiful photos. She made our photoshoot feel easy, the pictures came out natural looking, and captured the emotion and energy we had hoped for. If you're looking for a photographer, Tatiana Kiseleva is as good as they come.

Colby Blount Weddings

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

Colby Blount is an award winning fashion and wedding photographer. Born and raised in Georgia and now calls New York home. He loves merging a stylized vision with a photojournalist eye to help tell stories that feel real and authentic.

When my partner and I first saw Colby's work, we knew he was the perfect fit for us. His photographs are romantic and dreamy but still somehow edgy and modern. We reached out to Colby and heard back quickly. We met for coffee to talk about what we were thinking for our wedding. Colby was receptive, professional, patient, and kind through the whole process. When we changed our mind about things, he adapted. He remained calm, cool, and creative through our engagement shoot as well as our wedding day. If Colby had only delivered a few good pictures, we would have been over the moon-- but he absolutely blew us away with our photos. We will cherish these for a lifetime. Cannot recommend him enough!

The quality of their work was excellent, and we felt their services were well worth the money. Xiranda's lead DJ had great music taste and packed our dance floor all night. We highly recommend Xiranda Music to couples seeking a talented and reliable wedding band and DJ service.

With a background in art and illustration, Paige Fallon (aka "The Cake Witch") applies her training in color theory and design to each of her cakes and cupcake arrangements. She is passionate about cakes not only because they are delicious and full of flavorful possibilities, but also because they serve uniquely well as artistic canvases and centerpieces for many of life's most important milestones and events. With this in mind, Cottage Cake Witch strives to honor these moments with cakes that are as beautiful as they are delicious, and as unique as the memories you make with them!

The most important thing to me for my wedding was a cake that tasted DELICIOUS. I was perfectly willing to sacrifice appearance for it. But with Paige at Cottage Cake Witch, you can have both! Her cakes are absolutely GORGEOUS and every single bite is drool-worthy. Highly recommend!

Ridgewood, NY
  • Venue
  • Up to 100 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Outdoor & indoor
  • Starts at $5,000

Tucked away in the heart of Ridgewood, Pàn is an intimate, stylish venue housed in a former pre-Prohibition brewery—Diogenes Brewing Co., established in 1898. The space blends rustic-modern charm with exposed brick, lush greenery, and ambient lighting, offering the vibe of a Brooklyn loft with the warmth of a neighborhood gathering spot. Pàn comfortably seats up to 60 guests indoors, with additional capacity in our sunroom (30–40), deck (25–35), and cozy backyard. The layout is flexible for ceremonies, dinners, or cocktail-style receptions. We offer custom food and beverage packages with seasonal small plates, natural wines, and heartfelt hospitality. Whether you're planning a laid-back dinner or a lively celebration, Pàn is a soulful, welcoming space to make your day unforgettable.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Has an intimate atmosphere
  • Flexible event spaces
  • Has a dance floor to dance the night away

Venue considerations

  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • Does not provide event staff
  • No on-site guest accommodations
Pàn was hands down the most perfect venue we could have found for our wedding! We wanted a space where we could have both indoor and outdoor portions of the day, and were ideally looking for a restaurant space to avoid the hassle of separate catering. Pàn checked all of those boxes. From the very beginning, Yuki and her team were attentive, thoughtful, and thorough in their communication. The planning process was seamless, and Yuki in particular gave us so many great, creative suggestions about how to best optimize the space. On the day-of, their work was nothing short of fabulous; the restaurant and yard both have a charming, rustic beauty that created the exact ambiance we were looking. Yuki was also incredibly accommodating when helping us design the perfect menu, as a few of our friends are gluten free/vegan/have allergies. Our guests STILL talk about how abundant and delicious all the food/pizza was, and having an amazing meal was a top priority for us! We had the most incredible day thanks to Pàn, and we are so grateful for their hard work and dedication in making our wedding celebration the best it could have been. We cannot recommend Pàn highly enough!

I dropped out of the physics program at Purdue University to pursue graphic design and photography. I fell in love with light; hard light, soft light, warm light, cool light, clean light, dirty light... all the flavors of light. And I fell in love with how the camera captures light and renders an image. For me having a camera in my hand is being home. I hope that feeling comes through in my photography. I look forward to chatting with you about your special day.

Tom Weis Photo was a true pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, his communication style was thoughtful, engaging and fun. The quality of Tom's work is nothing short of expert - the photos are absolutely beautiful, with a perfect blend of classic and experimental styles that captured all the special moments of our day. He was kind and attentive to our friends and family, and fully embraced the unique ideas I had for shots. Tom Weis himself has a wonderful energy and positive vibe that made the whole experience a joy. I would highly recommend him to any couple planning their wedding or for any event. He's simply a great guy who will ensure your memories are beautifully preserved.

If you have visited the Foundry, you know how amazing and beautiful it is, but what you don’t know before you work with them is how responsive and helpful they are once you have committed to them. We had about 130 guests and used the main room for the ceremony, the greenhouse room and space outside for the cocktail hour, the courtyard for the reception dinner, the main room again for the dancing, and the greenhouse room again for the after party (11 to midnight). We also rented the Du Val suite for getting ready, and it was a superb space for the groom’s party and extended family to get ready and hang out and also has the most beautiful garden with city views. Our wedding was absolutely amazing and vindicated our immediate love for the Foundry that we developed the first time we toured it, and the Foundry staff are extremely helpful and kind.

Our experience with the Douglaston Manor was an actual dream come true! From the moment we walked in to see the Manor, Kathy, our wedding coordinator, was wonderful. Relaxed, sweet, and so caring about us and what we wanted, she never made us feel pressured or nervous and gently made suggestions which ended up making our night even better than we could have hoped. Working with Carlos our Maitre D and Michelle my Bridal Attendant was a blessing. Michelle was so attentive and helpful. Within minutes of meeting her, I felt like I was spending time with a good friend. She was so funny, kept me calm and literally did anything and everything I needed- most of the time without me having to ask her. The same could be said for Carlos. Just to give a small example, my fake eyelash starting come off a tiny bit. Without any eyelash glue on us, I was nervous about how we would fix the issue but The Manor proved how above and beyond they'd go when Carlos, unpromoted and unknown to me at the time, went out and brought me eyelash glue! It was a small gesture but it went a long way and showed me how devoted the Manor is to their clients. Michelle made sure he knew exactly what to get and she helped me fix it when he came back (which was unbelievably quick as well) . Carlos was fantastic at keeping my group organized and making sure the ceremony was perfect. We are so grateful to both of them. Aside from their exceptional service, the staff at the manor was outstanding- every room was impeccably decorated and arranged exactly as we had hope, all of the items we had brought with us for various aspects of the night were set up perfectly without instruction and the attention to detail was second to none. The food. I am biased seeing as it was my own wedding, but the food was incredible from start to finish. The cocktail hour sampling that Michelle left from my husband and I including EVERYTHING being served downstairs and was presented beautifully- time was clearly taken to make sure we were able to try the food but also have it presented to us in a really special way. Kathy had suggested we try an "off-menu" item, braised beef in a red wine sauce, and no surprise, it was easily the best tasting wedding dinner item I've had at any wedding. There are so many things that go into making a wedding day perfect and that means there are so many things that are easy to stress over. Not once during the planning process or on the big day did I ever feel worried or concerned. Everybody communicated clearly, checked and double checked things and did everything possible to ensure everything was perfect- not just great, but genuinely perfect. Oh, and the cost was VERY reasonable. Kathy worked with us every step of the way to accommodate our budget while making sure the elements we wanted were included. We are looking forward to going back to the manor for future celebrations and feel so thankful to have been treated so well. They made our day everything we ever could have hoped for!

To date, there are only two images of me as a child. The first is my passport photo at the age of 1.5 months, the second is an image of me at the age of 8. Because of this, I have a deeper understanding, value and passion for photographs and imagery. With that said, I purchased my first camera at the age of 16 with my first paycheck! (used to flip burgers at a local Roy Rogers!). With that camera, I quickly learned how much I loved the art of documenting life with imagery and in 2012, I left a 16 year career in healthcare to follow my dream of becoming a photographer. I haven't looked back one day since then.

Tom Schelling is class, personified. Our experience with working with Tom and his fiancé Heather the day of our wedding was seamless and perfect! He is super creative, relaxed and flexible, as well as efficient and organized.. essentially he checks every single box you could ever want in your wedding photographer! My husband and I arrived separately to a predetermined location in Central Park by Tom for a genuine first look, followed by a breathtaking shoot at nearby locations in the park, and finally our ceremony at Dene Summerhouse. The entire experience leading up to our actual ceremony not only eased our own anxieties, but we had so much fun! He took the “pressure and work” off of us through his ability to gently and creatively guide us through our photos and make us laugh along the way. Tom is a visionary, and has an eye for originality, class, and romance. His photography embodies iconic NYC as well. Tom was extremely helpful in planning the timeline of our special day, in choosing the photo and ceremony locations, and in organizing the shot list for family photos. In conclusion, do not hesitate to choose Tom Schelling as your NYC Wedding Photographer or for your special event, it will be the best decision you have made! Thank you, Tom!

Got married at Cityview Rooftop and honestly it was magic. The skyline views was breathtaking, it had all my guests took out their phones, but what really stood out was the team. From day one, communication with management was smooth and easy they were super responsive and genuinely excited to help us bring our vision to life. Their positive attitude made planning way less stressful, and on the big day, everything flowed perfectly.

Wedding Ninja with a special place in my heart for non-traditional and multicultural celebrations. Movies turned me into the ultimate romantic dreamer, leading me — an economics phd to quit academia and pursue my love for food, hospitality and events. Since then, I’ve made every kind of wedding magic happen for every kind of scenario you can imagine: from cinematic Bollywood-style extravaganzas at venues like The Bowery Hotel and St. Regis in Aspen, to more intimate celebrations at homes.

We cannot recommend Seema enough as a coordinator. We found her just a month before our wedding when we realized our venue wouldn’t be handling many of the responsibilities we’d originally been told they would (decor setup, breakdown, ceremony chairs, etc.) After interviewing a few candidates, we immediately felt most confident with Seema and hired her on the spot. From the start, she put us completely at ease with her incredible attention to detail, warmth, and kindness. We had been so stressed, and the day we met her, she took over emails to all our vendors, and I actually peacefully slept through the night for the first time in a week. Seema went above and beyond to ensure our day was exactly what we envisioned. Even when we were ready to throw money at problems, she took it upon herself to find cost-effective solutions for us. From the moment we met her, she took the reins, allowing us to relax. She facilitated meetings prior to our wedding, introduced herself to our vendors, and tied up every loose end to make sure the day went off without a hitch. When unexpected challenges arose on the wedding day (weather issues, vendor delays, and many more) Seema pivoted smoothly and kept everything on track with a cheerful, calm demeanor. Seema’s ability to keep us on schedule without being pushy was incredible. She gave gentle nudges when it was time to move guests to another room or make speeches, and by the end of the night, we had moved through our timeline stress-free. It was a dream to have someone take the reins so gracefully and discreetly. Seema truly was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we are forever grateful for her hard work and dedication. We hope you have the same amazing experience!

I am a New York City-based videographer and editor. As a wedding filmmaker, my priority is showcasing the feeling of the day. I use my love of documentary and fantasy to guide my eye throughout a wedding so when you sit down, you’re not just watching a glossy, dramatic video of your day, but a time capsule that brings you back to how it felt to be there.

Jess was absolutely incredible! She captured what we couldn’t experience at our wedding, interviewing our friends and family to hear about their perspective of the day. We watch the video every year on our anniversary and it makes me glow with happiness every time. She gives the perfect mix of capturing the big moments, and also those little moments our guests experienced that we may missed if not for her beautiful videography. Cannot recommend her enough!!
