Kyle and Dave were SO great to work with. Every conversation with them was fun and they were so organized in walking us through creating the perfect soundtrack to our favorite day. Kyle and I hit it off immediately sharing a love of Electronic, Pop Punk, and HipHop; and Dave (who DJ'd the day of) was so in tune with my husband's love of Jam Bands, Bluegrass, and Jamtronica! They respected our wishes to check in with us about outlier song requests lol and added the flare our dream playlist needed. The photobooth was loved by all of our guests. We cannot recommend them enough to anyone hosting an event or wedding!

Close your eyes for a second and picture the middle of your reception. Your song comes on. Your friends are screaming the lyrics. Your parents are on the dance floor. You look at each other and just know that this is exactly how it was supposed to feel. That’s the night you’re planning. You want to be present. You want your people to stay. You want the energy to build instead of fade. And when it’s all said and done, you want to wake up the next morning with a full camera roll and a group chat that won’t stop blowing up. If that’s the kind of night you’re imagining, we're your people and we're rooting for you Let's chat when you're ready

WOW! We told Justin that we and our festival friends wanted to dance the night away, and oh, how he and the team delivered! They catered to all of our unique touches (can't miss the t-shirt toss), always making sure the day would feel like ours, and then we had the chance to tear up the dance floor long into the evening! Our family and friends are still raving about the mixing and overall vibes! I did not leave the dance floor once, a huge bride goal! Thank you, Justin!

Awarded Best of Zola
I first met Rob at my best friends wedding when he was their photographer. His energy was the best and he made us all laugh and have such a good time. When it was my turn to get married, I thought about how important your photographer was. Not just for their experience and skills of capturing moments but who they were as a person because frankly, you spend a good portion of your wedding day with that person. My husband and I knew that Rob was the right person for that. When we went to our engagement photos, I remember both us feeling nervous because we had no idea what to do! Does anyone know how to pose for pictures?? But Rob showed up and made all the worries disappear. We had SO much fun during the entire shoot and we never once worried about how we looked. He told us exactly what to do while making us laugh in the process. Josh was in awe of how Rob picks up on what seems like a small detail but will change the whole picture. Come the big day, Rob made sure that we were on time and got all the pictures we needed but also made sure that there was good vibe throughout the entire process. I think the pictures speak for themselves but nevertheless, I geeked out when I saw our sneak peek photos because they were just amazing. I could go on and on about how amazing Rob is. He made our special day that much better!

At Katie O’ Weddings & Events, our goal is to make every client sparkle. This means brighter smiles, louder laughs, and more excitement than you have ever experienced. Sparkling is about being fully immersed in the moment; it’s about being completely present, completely joyful, aware, and moved by all the positive energy and love surrounding you.

Katie O Weddings & Events is simply the BEST! From start to finish, they made our wedding exactly what we envisioned and honestly, even better than we could have imagined. Their attention to detail is unmatched, and their ability to truly listen to our vision and elevate it in ways we didn’t even think of was incredible. As someone who plans large events for a living, I wasn’t sure I needed a wedding planner—but after meeting with Katie and Casey, and understanding all that they offer, I quickly realized just how much I did. Their expertise, organization, and creativity brought everything to life in a way we never could have done on our own. They also helped us put together the most incredible team of vendors, many of whom came from their recommendations, and every single one was amazing. The value they bring through their network alone is huge. They handled every detail so seamlessly that we were able to be fully present and enjoy the entire weekend with our family and friends. What stood out just as much was how they treated our guests, they made our family and friends feel so special and comfortable, like they were their own. The KOWE team goes above and beyond in ways you don’t even realize until you’re in it. I genuinely don’t know how people get married without them!!! I truly loved working with them and honestly miss it! We are so incredibly grateful for Katie & Casey and we could not recommend them more highly to anyone considering a wedding planner (or honestly even if you’re not, I strongly encourage you to meet with them and see just how much they can elevate your entire experience!!) Thank you, Katie & Casey

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 guide people through taking those stories and turning them into something meaningful. Through thoughtful questions and deep conversations, we'll collaborate on crafting your one-of-a-kind wedding 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!

This company is owned and operated by DJ Mike Napoli, who offers over two decades of experience in the industry. This entertainer has performed at over 1,000 events, helping to create a high-energy experience for guests and couples alike.

We cannot thank DJ Mike Napoli enough, he was such a big part of our special day! Mike is very easy to talk to and work with. He brings such a friendly positive energy to the table. He kept great communication with us throughout our whole wedding planning process. The app he provided us with made everything so easy! It covered all the music we needed from start to end. We were able to customize and add specific notes to the time line as well. It’s truly a dream for any type A Bride. Besides providing the music, we also chose to use Mikes photobooth service. Our guest were able to take prints home and leave a print in our guest book. It was so nice to be able to look at all the photos and messages that were left by our guests. Within a few days after our wedding Mike also provided us the links to all the photobooth photos. We were unsure about lighting but with Mikes guidance he knew exactly what we needed based on our music choices. We are so grateful for his expertise because it turned out absolutely amazing. Not to mention he came early to set up and ran the whole thing on his own without missing a beat. Truly a 10/10 experience for us. We highly recommend Mike! P.S Our only word of advice…This didn’t affect us in the moment but we did get a lot of feedback from our guests that since we did not have mics our guest could not hear our vows clearly during our ceremony. This is something to consider discussing with Mike if you plan to have him.

I knew from the moment I saw Lindsey’s work from Heart Speak Visuals that I wanted her to photograph my wedding. She is incredibly talented at capturing raw, real, candid moments in such a beautiful and emotional way. Leading up to the wedding, Lindsey spent HOURS helping us get everything organized and making sure every detail was covered. She even helped us build out our timeline when our venue was falling short with planning support, which made such a huge difference for us and helped everything feel so much less stressful. On the actual wedding day, she absolutely nailed it. She kept us moving, on time, and made sure we got every single photo and moment we were hoping for. We had a LOT of family photos to get through, but she handled everything so efficiently while still keeping the energy positive and calm. Nothing ever felt rushed or overwhelming. We received our sneak peeks within a week, and we are already completely blown away. The photos exceeded our expectations in every way, and we cannot wait to see the final album. Lindsey is an EXTREMELY good communicator, reliable, hardworking, creative, and unbelievably talented. We truly cannot recommend Heart Speak Visuals highly enough! Danielle & Taylor

We only needed to tour one venue, and it was Blenheim. After our initial walkthrough of the space, we were convinced that this was everything that we could want in a venue and then some. Having over 12 years of wedding planning experience, Min and Morten offered us assurance that our wedding day would be executed beautifully- and it was. The Blenheim family were incredibly detail-oriented, clear, and responsive during the planning process. They guided us through multiple virtual meetings, providing extensive planning documents to ensure our day would run smoothly. As a person that doesn't love planning, they supported me and offered suggestions- making sure that the day would flow effortlessly. Their natural, open, and beautifully rustic venue was the ideal location for our special celebration; the venue itself reflected us as a couple and we have not stopped receiving compliments on the venue and the attentive and personable staff at Blenheim. The food was absolutely delicious - our guests raved about the amazing appetizers during cocktail hour. We had many last-minute changes and the Blenheim team did not miss a beat in executing our every wish. We are so grateful to have found Blenheim Hill Farm and we cannot thank them enough for making our wedding day perfect in every way!

I have had the honor of celebrating with so many couples and friends and family and it gives me so much joy. I want you to have the BEST day!! So tell me about your loves, your plans, and let’s start telling your story!

We can’t say enough amazing things about Kristin Lavigne of Kalz Photography. We have been absolutely raving about her since the wedding — she truly exceeded every expectation. Kristin captured the most stunning photos of us, which is saying a lot coming from Travis, who normally hates taking pictures. She made us feel completely comfortable and natural in front of the camera, and the results are beyond anything we imagined. Her energy was great and immediately put everyone at ease. Kristin is attentive, kind, caring, fun, and incredibly talented. Her eye for detail is unbelievable — she knew exactly how to capture each moment and turn it into the perfect shot. She didn’t just document our wedding; she elevated it. She made our special day even more special, and we know we’ll cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. Her assistant, Arianna, and her husband were also fantastic — the three of them worked together seamlessly and were everywhere all day, capturing every moment without ever feeling intrusive. They were the perfect team, and we are so grateful we got to work with them. Choosing Kalz Photography was one of the best decisions we made. We couldn’t be happier, and we recommend Kristin with all our hearts.

It’s hard to even put into words how much Normanside and its staff mean to us. I will rave about Normanside for the rest of my life, and I’m so grateful we chose them for our wedding. Starting from the very beginning, the person we owe the most credit to is Jaimie. She made the planning process seamless and helped all the stress fade away. She was available at any hour of the day (seriously, I’m not kidding!). I was always amazed by how quickly she responded, and then I realized that’s just who she is. From our tastings down to the very last moments of our wedding day, Jaimie executed every detail we asked for…and then some. She has an incredible eye for detail and helped make our reception absolutely gorgeous. If I could make a pocket-sized version of Jaimie and carry her around with me for the rest of my life, I would. The rest of the staff were just as amazing. Our families and guests had such a blast with our bartender, Rick, and seeing two of the younger staff members jump out on the dance floor later in the evening was such a fun surprise! Normanside never made us feel like a burden- everyone was enthusiastic, kind, and eager to help in any way they could. Our guys had so much fun golfing on Friday, and on the wedding day itself, we never had a single worry because we knew Jaimie and the staff had everything handled. The food, the venue, the service- everything was exceptional. To them, it may have been just another weekend, but they made us feel like our wedding was just as important to them as it was to us. That is something we will never forget!

Shawn provided the entertainment for our October 7 wedding and we could not be happier that we hired him! Hiring a DJ can be tricky because it's one vendor you really can't "trial" before your big day. Shawn took away a lot of that stress with a comprehensive questionnaire he had us fill out ahead of the wedding. We also sent him a list of do not play songs and vibe suggestions, but trusted him to read the room to keep the dance floor packed all night. We also really appreciated that Shawn was there to curate an enjoyable vibe -- not to hear himself talk on the microphone all night. He played a great mix of music that was suitable for guests of all ages and backgrounds, yet still felt cohesive when played one after the next. A true professional! Our guests had a blast dancing the night away, and many of them told us how much they loved Shawn's DJing in the days following the wedding!

Wedding Planning Plus was an excellent choice for our wedding planning needs for our June 2025 wedding at the Equniox Resort in Manchester, VT. From the start, their communication style was direct, helpful, and calming, which was greatly appreciated as we planned our big day. The quality of their work and value they provided was outstanding - they were focused, supportive, and incredibly well-connected in the region, using their network of vendors to perfectly execute our wedding and beautifully and bringing our garden party tent reception vision to life. On the day of, Eliza ran the schedule effortlessly and her competence completely allowed my husband and I to be fully present. In particular, we appreciated the way that she approached us over the course of the wedding to check if we still wanted to do the next scheduled item, it gave us a sense of control over how we spent our time rather than feeling like we were manically running from task to task. So many of our friends and family have reported back that the wedding was the smoothest of the weddings they had attended this year, and its all thanks to WPP.

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.

Bridget is magical. We were extremely fortunate to have such a capable, kind, communicative, and creative photographer helping us capture our special day. From the moment we had our first consultation, she was there for us, offering guidance and support every step of the way. We even got our dream engagement photo-shoot with her in the Fall to compliment our Summer wedding date. Most importantly, Bridget really captured who we are as a couple. We didn't have too many specific ideas going into our photos, but her suggestions were always spot on and brought out the best in us in every shot. Bridget is truly and uniquely talented; we highly recommend her.

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.

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.

We couldn't be happier and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

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.

Hi! I'm Yeliza, a bridal makeup artist servicing upstate NY and beyond! Thank you for dropping by and trusting me with your most precious moments. I'm honored to be a part of your big day! And let me tell you, without exception, YG beauty brides are the best. Let's chat about your dream look!

Yeliza has been doing my makeup for special events for 10 years & she just keeps getting better! She always takes my inspiration photos & brings them to life in a way that flatters my skin tone & features. My makeup lasts all day & I'm always sad to take it off when it's time to go to sleep. Yeliza is such a warm, calming presence on big days (ie my wedding day!) as well as fun & energetic. I can't recommend Yeliza enough & can't wait for her to do my makeup in years to come.

JB Photography was the absolute best to work with! From the very first zoom call, Jenna’s energy, experience and passion were so clear. She is creative, thoughtful and detail-oriented - from making us feel at ease during our engagement photoshoot (the first time we ever did a “formal” shoot as a couple), through expertly navigating the wedding day timeline ensuring that every moment was captured, Jenna made sure that every detail was covered. When we received all of our photos we were blown away by how she and her team captured everything, from the smallest detail to the full group shots, in such beautiful and creative ways. Now the hard part - choosing our favorites (which we know Jenna will beautifully layout in an album which we’ll cherish forever)!

  • Serves Sand Lake, 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!!!

My wedding experience at Birch Hill was incredible, and I owe so much of that to Serena and her amazing team! We started the booking process in early March, hoping for a September/October wedding date, and thankfully found one that worked. Serena was an absolute goddess from start to finish—she gave us a thorough tour of all the location options, answered every question, and made the entire process feel effortless. We knew almost immediately that no other venue would compare! Since we were on a tight timeline, I reached out to Serena frequently with questions, and she always responded promptly and thoroughly. By our 90-day planning meeting, we were already so comfortable with everything, and Serena guided us seamlessly through food choices (of which there were so many!) and other details. Her expertise really shone through when I wasn’t sure about certain things; she made it all so simple and stress-free. On the big day, I felt so confident in Serena and her team—it was like everything was taken care of before I could even think about it. I truly felt like I had nothing to worry about and could be fully present in every moment, which made the day even more magical. They thought of every detail, big and small, allowing me to simply enjoy and soak it all in. Speaking of the food—it was hands down the best meal I’ve ever had! We chose the Cocktail Style package and went with a wide range of options, including crispy calamari with lemon-garlic aioli, French onion soup, cider bacon-wrapped chicken, pulled pork wonton bites, and mini grilled cheeses with tomato soup shooters, among others. Every single bite was phenomenal! The prime rib was cooked to perfection, and the mashed potato bar and pasta station were crowd favorites. Our guests raved about the gourmet French fry station that we had later in the night. While we handpicked the items, I genuinely believe that anything else on their menu would have been just as amazing—the quality and flavors were out of this world. At the end of the night, everything was packed up perfectly and already in my car before I even stopped partying! If I had to give any constructive feedback, it would be about the bridal suite. It was a very warm day for late September, and the air conditioning hadn’t been turned on before we arrived, so the suite was quite hot initially. Other than that, our ceremony by the pond was absolutely beautiful. While the mosquitos and some goose droppings were a minor annoyance, the setting was otherwise perfect and so romantic. All in all, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Serena’s commitment and attention to detail made our wedding truly unforgettable!
