Brielle and her team were absolutely incredible! The planning process was so much more enjoyable and stress-free with the I Do team by our side every step of the way. From the very beginning, I knew we had made the right choice. Brielle took my unique vision and helped refine it into something even more beautiful than I could have imagined. She completely embraced my style and connected us with other amazing vendors who brought our dream to life. But where Brielle and her team truly shined was on our wedding day. As a bride managing some chronic health issues that morning, I knew I just needed to focus on taking care of myself — and I could trust the I Do team to handle absolutely everything else. Their calm professionalism and care made all the difference, turning what could have been a stressful moment into one of complete peace. Thanks to Brielle and all our wonderful vendors, my husband and I had the best day ever! I would hire them again in a heartbeat and recommend them to anyone looking for a team that goes above and beyond.

WOW, SPECTACULAR, AMAZING, FANTASTIC…These are all words we would use to describe Chris and all of Limitless Entertainment. We had the pleasure of booking Chris for our wedding during his busy schedule and we could not have made a better choice. He made sure we had everything we wanted and more! From providing music for our ceremony, reception, and after party, to all the amazing details including dancing on the clouds, cold sparklers, CO2 gun (my favorite), handouts, all kinds of lighting that really set the scene, as well as Photo Booth for our guests to help us capture the evening! He was a one stop shop which made it incredibly easy to work with only one vendor for all of our entertainment needs. He ensured all of our music was exactly what we wanted and did a fantastic job MC’ing the evening. He is incredibly personable and has a fantastic “whatever you need” attitude which ensured our day was as perfect as could be! I cannot recommend him enough for all your DJ/Entertainment needs!

Awarded Best of Zola
When I hired All In Entertainment, I had multiple options to choose from; however, Anthony's energetic and relatable personality and his knowledge and expertise was what made me choose him as my provider for DJ services. When the time came for my wedding day, (we DIY'D everything) so naturally we ran entirely behind schedule! That's when my DJ Mike SAVED the day along with my photographer and they basically took the coordination of placing the guests in and out of the appropriate rooms and they even helped me make a candle light outdoor ceremony look even better. Mike was exceptional, he confirmed that all the songs that were specifically requested for the ceremony and introductions were played and he went over them with me to make sure that he had them correct AND HE DID! Anthony ABSOLUTELY killed it with the intro remix I requested! Overall it was a great experience from booking to the actual day of the event. Thank you All In Entertainment and team! The Darby's

Dragonfly Flowers was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! Their communication style was charismatic, friendly, and they always provided quick responses, while also being incredibly flexible to our needs. The quality of their work and the value they provided was unmatched - the flowers were high value, high quality, and truly exceeded our expectations. As a small business that shops locally, they created bouquets and arrangements that were more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. In fact, people were raving about how stunning the flowers were, saying they were the most gorgeous they had ever seen at a wedding. We ended up taking as many flowers home as we could because we didn't want the beauty to end. Dragonfly Flowers also wrote us a heartfelt letter explaining the meaning behind each type of flower they chose, which we will cherish forever. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

We’re big believers that it’s the little details, thoughtful choices, and behind the scenes care that end up making the biggest difference on your wedding day, and that mindset guides everything we do!

Awarded Best of Zola
My now husband and I LOVED working with Amalia and her wife, Jenna, to bring our wedding night dinner to life. My husband and I chose a courthouse wedding ceremony - just us - but knew we wanted to invite close friends and family to an intimate dinner that evening to celebrate. I wasn't sure where to begin - I contacted Amalia and sent her photos from Pinterest as my inspiration. Amalia truly blew us away from day 1 - she created custom dinner invites for us based on my inspiration photos. She sent over multiple proofs of her one-of-a-kind digital designs until it was perfectly done. I never had to reach out to her - Amalia was on top of my deadlines and full of ideas for my dream night! Her communication is excellent. My husband and I picked a venue in Scotch Plains, NJ to host our dinner. The restaurant offered private, charming rooms for special events. Amalia contacted the venue and worked out all the fine details of setup - I truly did not have to lift a finger! I shared my ideas & inspirations with Amalia for how I imagined the dinner to look. I knew I wanted to keep the wildflower color scheme of my bouquet in the details. However, I let her know I was very open to letting her take the lead in designing the setup. I am not a type-A person or planner, so I was grateful she stepped up and let her creativity flow. As seen in attached photos, Amalia designed our dream wedding night dinner! My husband and I arrived before our guests and were blown away with the ambiance and warmth of the room. Amalia designed custom welcome notes, name cards and signage for us that matched our initial invites. She embedded special details such as mini figurines of our beloved lab and pug, and printed framed a photo I sent earlier in the day of my courthouse ceremony! She and her wife, Jenna, handmade flower bouquets for the table and lit beautiful hand-painted candles in the center. She even designed thank you cards/ keepsake magnets on plantable paper for our guests. Amalia is a dream to work with - her passion for weddings & design is so evident! She is compassionate and professional- I had a truly seamless experience with her. I am forever grateful to Amalia for planning my wedding night dinner - an evening my husband and I will cherish forever. We are considering a vow renewal or more traditional wedding in a few years, and without hesitation look forward to hiring Amalia again!

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very beginning, Park Château made the entire wedding process feel like an absolute dream. The moment I stepped onto the grounds for the first time, I knew it was the perfect venue—I could already picture our wedding day there. As a Type A bride, I deeply appreciated how responsive and helpful Devin was throughout planning. Every question I had was answered quickly, and every concern met with care. The team was incredibly accommodating, honoring the vision we had for a meaningful, multicultural celebration. They worked with us to alter the stations so I could incorporate my Filipino heritage and allowed us to bring in soju to represent my husband’s Korean culture. Every request, no matter how detailed, was thoughtfully considered—it genuinely felt like their mission was to bring our dreams to life. On the day of the wedding, the service was impeccable. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty. Danielle kept us relaxed by constantly checking on us, keeping the suite clean, steaming dresses last-minute, and making sure we were well-fed and comfortable. Once we were ready, Jeremiah and Justin took care of my husband and me with such attention, joy, and professionalism that we never once had to think or worry about a thing. They truly went above and beyond!! They made sure our hair was never out of place, carried my lipstick for touch-ups, managed my train, cape-veil with ease, shaded me from the sun, and brought cold water (with a straw for makeup!) every 30 minutes. When my dress got dirty during photos (which I was mentally prepared for!), they were on the ground scrubbing it clean and blow-drying it dry—both of them. Later on the dance floor, they cooled me down with a cold cloth and made sure I stayed hydrated, all while keeping the energy light and fun. I could go on and on because these were just a few things they took care of for us that day! They made us laugh, checked in on us emotionally, and truly felt like part of our celebration. Their presence made the day even more magical. Our guests were blown away—not just by the sheer amount of food, but by the quality and taste of everything, from cocktail hour to dinner to the drinks. Everyone thought the grounds and venue were so beautiful and it all ran so smoothly! We've had so many guests tell us it was one of the best weddings they've ever attended, and we couldn’t agree more. Park Château truly knows what they’re doing. I wish I could relive the day all over again—it was absolutely perfect. Thank you to the entire Park Château team for giving us a wedding day beyond our wildest dreams.

I cannot recommend Dear Heart Films enough!! From the engagement session, to timeline planning, to the wedding itself, Shelby and her team (Casey and Amanda) were amazing through and through. She is extremely detail oriented and had us fill out questionnaires to make sure that she was capturing our vision the way we wanted and she completely blew us away with her photos! She was also extremely flexible with us-- we decided two weeks before the wedding that we wanted our ceremony filmed too and she was able to accommodate us without any issues. One thing that I really love about her work is that you can see and feel the love and joy in the photos. I've looked at our wedding sneak peek album every single day since she sent it to us, and we are so excited to get the full album. Book her! You won't regret it!

Jing was the best florist I could've imagined. I had a very specific vision for my florals and Jing helped bring it to life. In the planning process, she helped me make what I wanted work within my budget, never pressuring me to add more or saying what I wanted was impossible (an insane claim I heard from other florists who wanted more money). She encouraged me to use florals from my ceremony during my reception and they came out beautifully. She decorated my sweet heart table with all of our bouquets. Everything held up wonderfully and many guests took flowers home. I can't recommend Jing and Hexacres florals enough!!!

Momo Shot Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (12 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,800
  • Serves South River, NJ

I’m a drummer, a mother of two amazing kids, and a proud owner of an 80lb Samoyed. My passion for photography is deeply influenced by my family legacy—my grandmother was a dedicated full-time photographer who spent her life capturing and hand-coloring her own images. Growing up immersed in her art has profoundly shaped my own approach to photography. As a photographer, I'd love to capture the journey of two people in love, telling the genuine and touching story of their life together. I strive to create images that convey heartfelt narratives and reflect the true essence of your relationship and the moments you share.

Awarded Best of Zola
Finding Momo on social media was a total game-changer. I was instantly drawn to her documentary-style photography, which beautifully focuses on genuine moments and raw emotions. I wanted photos that would make our special day live on forever, and Momo delivered exactly that. From day one, working with her was incredibly easy—from the initial consultation to signing the contract and discussing our shot list. She quickly became the vendor I trusted the most, and that trust was not in vain; she was hands-down the best person we worked with for our entire wedding. On the wedding day, she actually arrived at our hotel before I did! Since we didn't have a wedding planner, I hadn't prepared perfectly for her, but Momo is a true professional. She made brilliant use of whatever was available, capturing stunning photos of us, our loved ones, and our accessories seamlessly. My husband and I are both quite shy and introverted, and the idea of being the center of attention in front of a camera felt incredibly daunting. But Momo has a magical way of easing all of that anxiety. Instead of forcing stiff, awkward poses, she gently guided us to just look at each other, breathe, and be present. She made us feel completely safe, relaxed, and happy. Because of her gentle approach, she captured our true selves rather than a performative version of us. The photos genuinely reflect exactly who we are and how our love feels. In fact, our friends keep telling us that every single photo looks like a gorgeous frame of a short film—there is so much cinematic storytelling and life in each shot. To top it all off, she was incredibly fast with delivering both the sneak peeks and the final online gallery, and was always responsive to our questions. Momo is generous, genuine, and truly invested in making your day as special as possible. We are deeply grateful for her and cannot recommend her enough!

We are so happy we went with Vlad for our wedding. He was so friendly and good at his job. He was able to get all the shots we wanted, and he had some photo ideas that we didn’t even think of that we are really grateful we took. He was really capturing the moment the entire time. Highly recommend choosing Vlad!

As the only photographer on our wedding day, Sam was a powerhouse and successfully organized an 18-person bridal party while also helping to wrangle almost 10 kids.
