“MMUAV Pro is INCREDIBLE. Having never had professional services done before, I had so many concerns: my eczema-prone skin, if my hair would stay volumized, if there was experience with a wide-range of complexions and hair textures for my bridal party, etc. etc. etc. The list went on. For myself, Norma DID HER THING with the makeup! No flare ups or skin irritations all day. The natural glam was spot on with what I was envisioning. Linda was AMAZING with my hair! Everything came out perfect and the curls sat so beautifully on my collar bone. The airbrush was super light and didn't irritate my eczema-prone skin at all. For my family and bridesmaids who had services done, they were all so happy with their hair and makeup! Norma, Linda, Omayra, and Chantelle were so wonderful. They knew how to work with everyone's skin type, facial structure, and hair texture. Everything held up so well. From inquiring to the trial and wedding day, MMUAV Pro was always kindly available. I couldn't have imagined anyone else doing hair & makeup for the wedding. They made my vision come to life. Everyone was so professional, calm, fun, and just overall had a great attitude from start to finish. This day was so special for all of us. So grateful for Vicky and Linda for taking the time to listen to all my thoughts, questions, and concerns throughout the way. Thank you isn't enough, and I hope this review helps so many others with similar concerns I had. THANK YOU MMUAV PRO!!!”

“I found out about Liberty House through Zola and read all the reviews - so I had high expectations when I went to visit the venue, and was not disappointed! Everything from the instant communication via Zola to our site tour, booking the venue, and everything along the way was great! When our coordinator left and we got assigned a new one just a few months before our wedding, no ball got dropped - our new one Aurora was so helpful! I used many of Liberty House’s recommended vendors too, which made everything seamless because since it’s such a popular venue many other vendors know the space and what to do, which really helps! The florist they recommended was such a great choice and it was the most economical and local too! I had no wedding planner nor a day of coordinator, but the Liberty House staff handled everything on our day and made sure I as the bride was taken care of so well! Neither I nor my wedding party had to organize anything on the day, I just enjoyed! We booked the Liberty Room downstairs, and there was zero problems with this being a venue that does multiple weddings same day, we couldn’t hear anything from the other party or anything like that. And what all the reviews say about the food is true, the cocktail hour is incredible! Most people are totally satisfied by that alone, and they reserved some of it for my groom and I to eat privately after the ceremony! They also gave us food to take home, and the signature drinks were so good! They honestly delivered incredible quality, and not to mention incredible location, for such a fair price, and we were never pressured into adding extras in any way. And the free parking and great photo locations all around is such a bonus!! This venue was perfect for us and we booked it in February for a September wedding, very limited dates were left - so grab it early if you can and then enjoy!!!”

  • Serves Rutherford, NJ

Jason Rhee Photography is a wedding photography company based in Northvale, New Jersey. Jason’s 20 years of experience combined with his attentiveness toward his clients results in photos that reflect the true essence of each couple. He believes that encouraging a lighthearted atmosphere during your photoshoot is the best way to capture all of those natural and romantic moments. This photographer covers the New Jersey and New York tri-state areas.

Awarded Best of Zola
“If you're looking for the photographer to capture all the love and joy you feel with your special person, I'm here to tell you, this is it. You found him. Does the idea of spending thousands of dollars for wedding photos scare you, because you can't see the photos right away, no refunds, no exchanges, no returns, and no do-overs, you are not alone. Do the scary thing. Invest your money on a photographer, but make sure you book Jason Rhee. I had a visual aesthetic in mind, but I also wasnt sure how to describe it. As a hobby photographer who mostly takes pictures of her dogs, or snaps pretty scenery and yummy food on vacation, I didnt know how to find to find somebody to capture our special day with the same romantic, yet slightly silly POV. I follow David Suh on IG, because he makes it look fun and easy to get photos you can proudly display, but we couldnt afford to fly him out for our wedding. We wanted somebody who gave similar energy. Instead, I spent hours on Google, Zola, Wedding Wire, the Knot, Reddit, Instagram, and reached out to Facebook groups like Subtle Asian Weddings and Ologies for inspiration. After weeks of pouring through lists of local photographers, reading price packages, scouring albums/portfolios/pages trying to find examples to describe the aesthetic I was looking for, and looking for photographers who evoke the same emotion, I found Jason Rhee. We set up a meeting, he passed the vibe check with flying colors. We had 6 months to plan our reception. We were on a budget. We needed somebody familiar with photographing not one, but three dogs at a wedding. We had an intimate (under 40ppl) wedding, with a LOT of camera-shy introverts (ourselves included!), and we wanted to get amazing pictures but have no experience posing in front of the camera. Where do we put our hands? What is our best angle? Is there enough light at the venue? Should I be serious, serene, or laughing? Don't worry, book Jason Rhee. Jason made the process of working together very easy and it felt like a true collaboration. He helped us plan within our budget. He was as invested as we were in creating our timeline, ensuring we had time for the photos we wanted, and understanding our wedding photography priorities. He provided prompts!!! He also coordinated with our videographer. Everything was clearly outlined in the contract. Our teaser album was done about two weeks after the reception (rest of the album should be done in another two weeks, which is amazing turnaround time considering the hundreds if not thousands of photos taken that day) I’ve always been self-conscious in front of a camera, but Jason was the best at boosting my confidence and posing us in a way that felt natural and look beautiful. We had many laughs along the way. Sadly, one of pups passed shortly before the big day, so we had to make it through one of the saddest months, alongside the chaos of planning our big day. Jason navigated it all with grace and went the extra mile to make sure we got all the photos we were hoping for. We got so many compliments (both during and after the wedding) from friends and family.”

Not to mention the space itself/location is GORGEOUS….but funny enough, we booked the space for the insane views of NYC, but happened to get the foggiest day of December - it. Did. Not. Matter. !!!

“Love The Chique Collective! I got married in October of 2025 and used The Chique Collective for both hair and make up. I worked with Delia on the planning, she was great even helping me with a plan to accommodate the timing I wanted. The day of, Delia (hair), Payton (MU) and their team was on time, professional and very accommodating of everyone in my party. I had 2 hair and 2 MUAs total and they did 13 ladies for hair and 11 ladies for make up (including bride and MOB/MOG) in just over 4 hours. Everyone LOVED their looks for the day! As the bride, I was really stressing about what "look" I wanted so I did 1 make up and 2 hair trials before my wedding. Each time I had my hair done (including the day of the wedding), Delia listened to all my concerns and worked with my changes (and extensions) to make sure I LOVED my look (which I did, it was perfect)! I would book them for another event in a heartbeat!”

“My husband and I got married at the CKE this October 2024. There aren’t enough words to express our gratitude to their entire team for all of their hard work to make our visions and dreams come to life. Each and every staff member was kind, and helpful. If you had a question you’d get a response promptly and always with a “let’s see what we can do attitude”. Katherine (the owner) made you feel a part of the CKE family and always was looking to make the planning process seamless and easy for us and our family. The CKE floral and design team made our big ideas all come to life- we had a visions of big branching centerpieces with florals tucked in, that Jess and her team absolutely delivered on. On top of that, we asked for an installation over our sweetheart table. Jess and her team have many suggestions and shared they visited Home Depot at least 3 times to see how it would hang, and the final installation beyond exceeded our expectations. The talent and grace their team exudes is what ever bride and groom look for in a team. The planning process was also so seamless due to their amazing coordinator team. We worked with Katrina, the kindest, most professional coordinator we have ever met. Katrina was available at every step of the planning process, providing thoughtful recommendations due to her very obvious experience. Katrina also was there for our wedding day of helping to manage the schedule, set up, constantly checking in, and making sure it all went according to plan (which it did). In addition during the reception Katrina was checking with us throughout the night to see if we wanted to pivot anything or if we needed anything. We are extremely grateful for her support! In addition, Kyle was our maitre d’ for the evening and he did an absolutely wonderful job. He made sure to check in with my husband and I as well as our immediate family members. He was so kind and professional! Lastly but very importantly- the food and drinks! Most of all of our guests shared that this was the best wedding food they have ever had. It is no small feat cooking for large groups and every aspect of the food from the cocktail hour to the dinner course was absolutely fantastic. These are a few quotes from guests: - “The food was gourmet.” - “This is the real deal.” - “The sushi… Oh, the sushi! So fresh!” In addition, the bartenders crushed it! Everyone was impressed by the quality of the drinks and we never had a line at the bar- they were fast and catered to our guests. I would highly recommend the CKE to future couples getting married. The aspect of the family business really shows and ensures you have a tailored experience for your wedding. The entire staff is kind and down to earth- always willing to help. We wish them nothing but the best for their future wedding seasons!”

They were efficient in our timeline so much so that we finished nice and early which allowed me to take a breather with all the things going on with my venue. The make up and hair held through tears, sweat, outfit changes, and head banging on the dance floor. I can’t thank them enough for making my wedding day the best it could be!”

When my friends started to get married, the requests to DJ their weddings began pouring in. It made sense, they wanted to party, and I had helped them do it weekend after weekend all over NYC. It only took one wedding for me to realize that they needed a lot more help than what I did in the clubs. These days, I and my team help plan & entertain at all types of events (not just weddings), clients become friends (they don’t start there) and they benefit from our staff’s collective experience and the 10 years in the event industry Stem Productions has been active.

“From the moment we first contacted Stem Productions, we were impressed by their professionalism and organized approach. They were a true pleasure to work with, always responsive and down to earth in their communication. On the day of our wedding, their execution was absolutely top-notch - the order of events flowed so smoothly, and the DJ had the perfect playlist to keep our guests dancing all night long. Stem Productions truly went above and beyond to make our special day perfect, and we can't stop recommending them enough. Their quality of work and value is unparalleled.”

Casa Bianca Banquets has been family owned and operated in Oak Ridge since 1993. Sam, our owner, still runs the kitchen - not a catering contract, not a rotating chef. It's why guests are still talking about the food weeks later. We host one wedding at a time. Your ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all happen here, with no second party competing for the staff or the parking. The ballroom seats up to 250 under crystal chandeliers, with a grand staircase and tall windows that mean you spend less on decor and still get the photos you wanted. Packages are all-inclusive: cocktail hour, open bar, dinner service, wedding cake, linens, setup and cleanup. We cook Italian, Middle Eastern and Spanish, and handle vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and nut-free without fuss. Bridal suite, free parking, wheelchair access throughout. We cater off premise too, so your rehearsal dinner and brunch can come from the same kitchen. Come taste it before you decide - book a private tour.

“We truly could not have asked for a better DJ than Evan. From the very start, he was professional, organized, and so easy to work with—but what really set him apart was how incredibly well he read the room. Every song felt perfectly timed, and he somehow knew exactly what to play to keep the energy up all night. The dance floor was never empty—our guests are still talking about how much fun they had. He struck the perfect balance between playing our must-haves and mixing in songs that got everyone involved. It felt so seamless and natural, and we were able to just be present and enjoy every moment. Evan didn’t just play music—he truly created the atmosphere for our entire night. We are so grateful and would recommend him to anyone without hesitation!”

“Louis Pettinelli Entertainment was an absolute dream to work with. I thought that a live band for our wedding would be out of our reach, but LPE was so easy to work with and what an incredible value! Our band, LPE Snapshot was incredible and our ceremony musicians were amazing too! The vocalists were high energy and kept the whole event moving. They were great Emcess and they even added some special non-traditional reception activities for us. They were super flexible and played all the songs we asked for- even some very “niche” tracks we asked for during the ceremony. So many of my guests said the band was their favorite part of the reception. I highly recommend LPE entertainment! (I am also a musician myself so I’m very picky!)”

“We absolutely loved our wedding venue! Our guests couldn't stop complimenting the space, and everything about the venue itself was perfect for our big day. The staff was generally great, and the venue itself exceeded our expectations. However, there were a couple of things that caught us off guard. First, when we went to drop off our decorations the day before the wedding, we were surprised to find large, dramatic Christmas decorations still in the foyer—something we were never informed would be there. Thankfully, the team worked with us to remove them, and by the morning of the wedding, everything was taken care of, which we really appreciated. Second, we were disappointed to find that the venue ran out of rum for our signature drink. We had clearly communicated that rum was a major ingredient, yet they only had two bottles for the entire night, which was nowhere near enough. It seemed like they completely forgot that rum was a key part of our signature cocktail, and it was frustrating to see our guests unable to enjoy it as planned. Lastly, after the wedding, we heard some concerning stories about the way the venue manager and team interacted with our vendors, particularly our wedding planner. Apparently, voices were raised, and things got very heated, with fingers being pointed at faces. It was heartbreaking to hear this, especially because it was completely at odds with the otherwise wonderful experience we had. It felt very unprofessional and left a bad taste in my mouth. Overall, the venue itself was stunning, and the event went off beautifully, but these issues were frustrating and disappointing, especially when considering how much we loved everything else. If you decide to book here, just make sure to keep a close eye on the details and be aware of how the team handles interactions with vendors.”

“From the moment we met Miranda at Star Rose Creations, we felt confident we had found the right team for our wedding. We interviewed many day-of coordinators, but we chose her because of her energy - she was so warm and trustworthy from our very first call. Our wedding at St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC was large and complex, but Miranda and her team handled every detail with such grace and coordination that we barely had to think about logistics. When I lost track of my phone at 11am on the morning of the wedding, they took care of every detail and contact without me having to lift a finger. Star Rose Creations went above and beyond in every way: detail-oriented, reliable, and so kind to everyone in our wedding party. We felt so supported throughout the entire process, and we couldn't have asked for better partners to help us celebrate.”

Hey, my name is Jose and I am the Owner and DJ of LEM Entertainment. Since a very young age, music has always taken me to a happy place. I have been entertaining crowds since the late 90’s starting off as a club DJ and now I’ve transitioned over to private events in the last 7+ years. This experience has helped mold me and tailor what I bring to weddings.

“LEM Entertainment was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first conversation, they were quick to respond to all of our questions and worked seamlessly with us to bring our vision to life. On the day of the wedding, their team kept the party going all night long and created such an energetic and fun atmosphere that our guests couldn't stop raving about. They played all the right songs to get everyone dancing, and their organization and professionalism ensured that the flow of the evening went off without a hitch. We are so grateful to LEM Entertainment for making our wedding day unforgettable!”
