Don’t overlook the Short Hills Hilton for your wedding! It was the perfect location for our big day, offering a central gathering spot where our guests didn’t have to worry about traveling throughout the day. We explored several traditional venues, but none felt as right as this one. We had a November wedding and didn’t expect to have an outdoor ceremony, but the hotel’s lovely patio space was a wonderful option, and surprisingly, the noise from the JFK Parkway wasn’t an issue. For our indoor ceremony, the venue features a permanent enclosed tent structure. At first glance, it didn’t seem like much, but with the help of the event coordinator Vivian Cohen’s help and coordination with our florist, the space was transformed into something breathtaking. The reception space was spacious and perfect for our 170 guests—large enough for everyone to feel comfortable but not so big that it felt empty. Guests still rave about the food and service! The chef and maître d' truly deserve all the praise. The hors d’oeuvres were diverse and delicious, from sliders to a pasta bar to sushi. We chose the salmon and short ribs for dinner, which we selected during a private tasting session. The hotel grounds, filled with foliage, were perfect for photos, especially as we were lucky to have beautiful fall colors for our shoot. Victoria at the Hilton was incredibly helpful with coordinating room blocks, hotel room gift bags, and storage. Vivian was a dream to work with—she was welcoming, communicative, and made everything run smoothly. Her checklist was a lifesaver for keeping track of details, and she was hands-on with day-of coordination, ensuring everyone knew where they needed to be and helping with the little touches that made everything perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or team to help make our wedding day unforgettable!

We had the pleasure of having Phase One perform at our wedding for the ceremony, reception, and after-party, and they absolutely blew us away! From start to finish, they were engaged not only with us but with the entire crowd. Their energy was contagious, and they knew exactly how to read the room, keeping everyone on the dance floor the whole time. The transitions between songs were seamless, and the variety in their set list kept all of our guests—young and old—dancing nonstop. We couldn’t have asked for a better band to set the perfect tone for our big day. Highly recommend Phase One to anyone looking to elevate their event with incredible live music!

He asked about our vision for the day, and was really focused on what we wanted which made us feel very comfortable and confident that he would deliver on our expectations. And let me tell you…did he DELIVER! First, the setup was clean and intentional, he did not overlook even the slightest detail. Our introductions were none traditional and he nailed it! After our first dances and dinner it was time to crank it up, and for the rest of the night EVERYONE was on the dance floor. I don’t even think we said hi to everyone that came…I’m talking music thumping, lights flashing, banger after banger being played!! The absolute BEST night of our lives!

I’ve been in the beauty industry for 14 years. I’ve excelled in many different angles from cutting, coloring, extensions, styling & more. Bridal/Formal styling has given me a sense of fun & excitement from the moment I’m packing my bridal kit to the moment she’s headed out the doors. I genuinely love every experience of what I do!

There is no one else I’d trust my hair in the hands of! Shannette has done my hair for 4 weddings now including my own and she never disappoints. I have extremely thick, long, corse hair which for some stylist can be a nightmare but she kills it every single time! Look no further i promise you will not regret!

Malika did my makeup for a party once, and I absolutely loved how it turned out! She gave me a look that felt very natural and still made me feel special. What I really appreciated was how friendly and easygoing she was — it made the whole experience so comfortable. She listened to what I wanted and didn’t go overboard, which I really liked.

Grace saved me when I was struggling with adult acne. She created a customized treatment plan for my needs and cleared my skin with two treatments. I've been seeing her monthly for almost two years now for customized facials to maintain my clear complexion. I very much look forward to my appointments with Grace!

Hi my name is Cristian M. Velez, I am the lead cinematographer and owner at Cinemarvelfilms. All started when I got one of my first cameras over 10 years ago, and began filming my daughter's life from birth all the way until she was 7 years old. When I edited all of the short clips together to create a film capturing her first seven years of life, my passion for crafting memories and telling stories through video began.

Words cannot describe how grateful we are to Cristian. He captured so many special moments, from our engagement shoot to our wedding. We were blown away by his work each step of the way. Cristian is so professional but also very understanding which makes working with him a million times easier.

Stephen is such a breeze to work with. He listened to our needs and was able to come up with something that worked for our budget. He’s worth every penny – Stephen has such a passion for his craft and it shows! He also worked seamlessly with our photographer.

Mushmouth plays every show like it's Madison Square Garden! Lead singer Bill's energy is off the charts - a mix of Bruce Springsteen, Mick, Jagger, James Brown and a sprinkle of David Byrne all rolled into one! The band, a group of longtime friends, pulls off note for note renditions of all the songs while also adding to the on-stage fun. The Mushmouth show consists of big hits, one hit wonders and lost nuggets from the 70's, 80's, 90's and beyond. From Glen Campbell to the FOO FIGHTERS, Duran Duran to Eric Church.

Mushmouth is an absolutely incredible band—they had people asking us all night (and still to this day) how I found them. I think I turned quite a few of our wedding guests into Mushmouth groupies! From the beginning they were very accommodating, always quick to respond and accommodating to our song requests. They have a huge set list to select from no matter what your taste is, and they even learned new songs just for us so that we could do our first dance with live music. It really felt like we were part of a live concert just for us at our wedding. They sound so amazing and not only are they truly talented musicians, but they are also incredible performers who got everyone to dance and sing along. I received compliments all night that they were the best cover band anyone had ever heard. Mushmouth made our wedding day extra special, and I would book them again in a heartbeat.

A Passion for Perfection: On your special day, it should be all about YOU! You deserve to feel like a celebrity, and to be treated like one too.That’s why we created Blush and Brush Event Styling. Meet Your Event Stylists: Maryanne has over 30 years of hairstyling experience & high volume event coordination. She is a mom of 3 - two beautiful girls and one handsome young man. She thrives on putting others' needs ahead of her own. Her energy and positivity is unmatched - she has the power to make you feel like the absolute best version of yourself.

I cannot recommend Blush and Brush enough. Toni and Stephanie were absolutely magical. They kept the day running on time and smooth. I didn't need to lift a finger or think of anything. They had all the details ironed out, they anticipated everything and catered to my every need. The entire day people kept me telling me how calm and present I was and I truly owe that to the B&B team. They are truly the reason I was able to really sit back and relax and soak up every moment. They are a fine tuned machine. As for the hair, Jason, and my makeup, Ivonne -- perfection. They are masters of their craft and just a joy to work with! Jason stayed with me throughout the day and gave me a second hair style. His energy, humor and presence was a welcome vibe -- he's so fun! And a true professional. My hair stayed in curls all night and people gave me so many compliments. Natalie stayed with me throughout the day to do makeup touch ups. She always made sure I was powered and glossed. I felt like a true celebrity with these two on my team. Like Jason, Natalie was truly a pleasure to have around and extremely talented when it comes to makeup. From when I booked B&B nearly two years before my wedding, I felt supported by Maryanne for any questions. I could not recommend this team enough. I wish I could do this day all over again and have them all be a part of it. I have a few bridesmaids getting married in the next few months and they took B&B's information because they saw what an amazing job they do! Recommend 1000%

I reside in Jersey City, New Jersey, serving New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and beyond. I grew up surrounded by family photos. My parents had a professional photography business, Infinity Photography, back in the days of film. My friend asked me to do her senior portraits, so I started my photography business after my parent's business was closed for nearly 20 years. Fun fact, I chose "Grey" because I'm a nerd, and I love Jean Grey - she's my fave X-men. Also, my name is hard to spell, especially when you hear it. It's like "Leah" with a "Tuh."

At Remember That! Photography, I’m all about capturing the real stuff—the moments that matter, big and small. I’ve been photographing weddings since 2012, and after years of documenting love stories, I’ve launched this new business with a fresh perspective and a focus blending creative storytelling with genuine emotion, from quiet first looks to the wild dance floor moments. I take the time to get to know each couple so your photos reflect your personality, not just a checklist. The result? Timeless images that feel true to you and your day.

There are a lot of photographers out there, and it can be hard to decide which is the right one for you. I can say that I am very happy we chose Chuck. He was professional from start to finish, and made the day go smoothly. We came to him with a list of family / bridal party photos we wanted posed at the church, and he made sure we got every grouping, and still had time to get pictures of just the two of us at a park before the reception. We received our pictures much faster than we expected and are very happy with the results. His all inclusive pricing made us both attracted to him and skeptical of that being true, but everything was actually included in the package price.

My husband and I wanted to express our sincere gratitude for the overall beauty and charm of Grand Cascades Lodge, which made our wedding day truly memorable. The stunning views, exquisite grounds, and the spacious Emerald ballroom were perfect for our celebration. Working with Jean and Sara was generally a positive experience, and their welcoming attitude during our visits meant a lot to us. However, I wanted to share some constructive feedback regarding the planning process. While our customization requests were accommodated, there were communication challenges, especially on the day of the wedding, with multiple points of contact. The food tasting experience was delightful, and we appreciate the effort in accommodating our preferences. Although some dishes at the cocktail hour were well-received, the braised beef dish didn't meet the standard set during the tasting. Unfortunately, there were a few issues during the weekend that impacted our experience: - The memory table candles were not lit until late in the reception, despite prior requests. - Our sweetheart table had a wrinkled tablecloth, affecting the overall presentation. - The florist's flowers for the cake were left with the kitchen staff, and despite assurances, they were not added as planned. - The shuttle service delay inconvenienced elderly guests who had to wait longer than expected. Additionally shuttle service that was promised during the after party did not work as agreed upon. While these points highlight areas for improvement, we want to emphasize our appreciation for the positive aspects of our celebration. We understand that events may encounter unforeseen challenges, and we believe that sharing our experience can contribute to enhancing future events at GCL. Thank you for your attention to our feedback.

Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for help with the final stretch of wedding day. If I could go back in time I would hire her for full planning services!

I can't begin to describe the amazing wedding celebration we had at The Terrace at Biagio's. We had our ceremony at the venue as well and everything went perfect! Barbara and John were top tier! Communicating with me from the moment we met until the wedding, answering all my questions at all hours and making our vision come to life! They were on top of everything from start to finish, and we were constantly taken care of us. Not only did they excel but they did it all with great personality and love! The Terrace itself was a gem! Our guests raved about the cocktail hour! It was an assortment of the best food possible, all so fresh and impossible to not go back for more. Bar service was top notch and our signature drinks were a hit! (Barbra actually was the one who made that vision come alive! Lavender martini and bacon maple ole fashioned). The dessert hour was a fire show! (Literally a fire show) And there was every dessert possible! Carnival, ice creams, cakes, cookies, chocolate fondue, etc! We had our first look down the road at another location but we took photos on site in the front of the entrance to the terrace and they came out beautiful! It's a smaller area but it has beautiful flowers and a stream. The ceremony was on the roof top and it was beautiful with the waterfall fountain and stone fire place! Lots of cute places to take some very nice photos! Along with the string lights and arch, it was a dream. I can't rave enough about how much Biagios made our day so enjoyable, and beautiful. I would recommend them over and over again thank you again to the hardworking staff, Barbara, John and Tommy. It is a night we will cherish forever. Oh, and they allow dogs to be in the ceremony It was everything to be able to have our fur baby share our special day with us.

I'm a mom and a New Jersey wedding photographer!! I love Jesus! I really really love to travel!!! And I'm the one who always plan the vacations. My favorite food is Italian. If I had to choose between the beach and snow, you'd definitely see me jumping into the water! I have a degree in Accounting and Finance and I love to create budgets. I was born in Cuba, so my first language is Spanish, lived in Colombia for a few years and I plan to get old in the United States.

Sarai came recommended in a wedding group I was in, and we could not have been more pleased with our decision to hire her for our intimate courthouse wedding. From our very first interaction, Sarai was incredibly responsive, friendly, and collaborative in helping us plan the perfect November morning around lower Manhattan. My husband and I have varying degrees of comfort with pictures, yet she was able to capture both staged shots and joyful, candid moments that made our wedding day so memorable. Sarai took the time to get to know us as a couple and brought out our goofy, playful sides without even trying. She went above and beyond anything we could have imagined, delivering the best value for the incredible quality of her work. Sarai is not only an incredibly talented photographer, but a genuinely kind and personable human being. We cannot recommend Sari Photography highly enough for any couple looking to document their wedding day with beautiful, timeless imagery.

Lake Valhalla Club is truly in a league of their own. Leading up to our November wedding, Coleen was endlessly helpful by quickly answering any questions we had. On the night of, Daniel and David seamlessly dealt with any last minute things that came up, kept us on schedule, and made our night unforgettable. Our guests still can’t stop raving about the food, the rustic vibes, the gorgeous views of the lake, and the superb level of service. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our guests with food allergies which was so appreciated. We utilized their list of preferred vendors and were blown away by everyone. Booking our wedding at Lake Valhalla was the best decision we made!

Our experience working with Pinstripes Paramus was exceptional from start to finish. Brette, the event coordinator, was incredibly responsive, understanding, and fun to work with throughout the entire planning process. She was patient and calm, which was greatly appreciated and complimented my crazy bride moments. The venue itself was truly unique, with an amazing ambiance and fun, laidback vibe that our guests raved about. Having the bowling and bocce ball options created such a memorable and different wedding experience that our friends and family are still talking about. The food was delicious, and the beautiful art and design of the space made for the most amazing photos.

I knew Felina was the perfect venue for our wedding from the second I saw photos. From the moment we first spoke with Carissa, our Memory Maker, we knew we were in great hands. She was amazing - detailed, put us at ease every step of the way, and was clearly an expert at her job. She has a wonderful team working alongside her. The venue itself is neoclassical and elegant, with so much character. The food was delicious, the space was beautiful, and the staff was fantastic. My vision for the day came to life, and everything was absolutely perfect. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful, detailed, and fun the whole celebration was. We could not have asked for a better venue to host our special day.
