I DO Planning is a boutique Wedding & Event Planning firm based at the Jersey Shore. We offer a modern, high-touch approach to planning for couples who value thoughtful design, clear communication, and an impeccably run event. We specialize in tented weddings, private properties, and non-traditional venues, turning blank spaces into intentional, elevated celebrations. Our planning style is hands-on, organized, and honest.

From our very first meeting with Brielle, I knew we had made the right choice. After every call with my daughter and Brielle, I’d immediately turn to my daughter and say, “Wow… we absolutely could not do this without Brielle!” As the mother of an only child, I knew we had one shot to get everything right—and I hadn’t planned a wedding since the 1980s, so help was definitely needed! Brielle brought my daughter’s vision to life flawlessly and made sure the day was nothing short of magical. With my husband’s health challenges, the team kept the schedule flexible and stress-free while still keeping everything perfectly on track. Every vendor Brielle recommended was fantastic, and the entire team took such wonderful care of our family. I am forever grateful to Brielle for making the magic happen and giving us a day we will cherish forever!

Whether it is a single rose, or a full wildflower garden, I think there are flowers for every type of person!

I texted Laura the day of my wedding because I felt like she needed to know my first tears were shed when I saw my bouquet. Words cannot describe how perfect it was. Laura took everything me and my partner asked for and ran with it. Florals were a very big piece of our wedding and I really feel like we asked the perfect person to bring them to life. Not only were the florals perfect but my mom stopped me the day after my wedding just to tell me she ran into Laura and she was "just so kind". 100/10 would recommend hiring her for your wedding.

We're Amalia and Jenna, a passionate duo who happen to be wives, dedicated to crafting unforgettable weddings. With a combined background in hospitality, design and event planning, we bring a keen eye for detail and a knack for orchestrating flawless celebrations. Our goal is to alleviate the stress of wedding planning, so you can focus on what truly matters: your love for each other. Let's work together to create a wedding that's beautiful and personalized to you and your partner!

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very first meeting with Jenna and Amalia, I knew they were the ones to help plan my special day. I didn’t need to meet with anyone else — I clicked with them immediately. Their warmth, kindness, and creativity put me completely at ease, and throughout the planning process they always came prepared with thoughtful ideas and solutions. Our planning meetings honestly felt more like I was just hanging out with my best friends than a meeting with my wedding planners. On the day of my wedding, I was full of nerves and anxiety — until I saw them step out of the car. In that moment, all of the stress lifted. Jenna and Amalia have such a calming presence; they anticipated every detail, solved problems before they even reached me, and made sure I could be fully present and enjoy my day. And honestly they are just FUN to be around. My wedding couldn’t have been more perfect, and so much of that is thanks to them. Somewhere between the planning meetings, the endless texts, and the joy of the wedding day, Jenna and Amalia became more than planners — they became people I want in my life forever. My family absolutely fell in love with them too; we’re already planning dinners and future hangouts. That’s the kind of impact they have — they don’t just plan weddings, they become part of your story. I cannot recommend The Butterfly Effect Weddings enough. If you want planners who will not only execute your vision flawlessly but also make the entire process joyful and stress-free, Jenna and Amalia are it. They will forever hold a special place in my heart.

After recently getting married myself, I truly understand that there are so many decisions that a couple has to make for their big day. And when it comes to your wedding film, I would love the opportunity to tell you about my experience on this journey I have embraced - telling the story of love. Your love.

Awarded Best of Zola
Carlo is the BEST wedding videographer you could ask for. He was absolutely amazing to work with and he captured our day in such a unique and beautiful way. The videos we got from him were absolutely stunning, edited in a way that is completely unique to any wedding videos I've seen. A one-minute teaser that's perfect for our social media pages, an amazing five-minute highlight reel (also great for social media) and a full one hour film of our entire day captured in beautiful high-definition. My wife cannot stop watching all of our videos over and over again. From spectacular high quality video, drone footage, and even Super8 footage mixed in the final videos. I loved the Super8 footage so much that we added on an additional video to our package that featured just Super8 footage that Carlo edited to music we picked out-- which was definitely worth it! Carlo's editing and shooting skills are superb but his passion and enthusiasm to fully understand our love story and how we wanted our special day to be captured is what made him worth every penny. We couldn't be happier with the finished product, and we couldn't be more grateful to Carlo for his amazing work.

Awarded Best of Zola
Margaret was better than I could’ve asked! Leading up to the day she was so easy to communicate with. She created a timeline for the day and any thoughts I had she took them into account and found a way to incorporate them into the plan. Truely felt like a team because of how kind and thoughtful she is. Get to the day, she was a calming presence for sure. She showed up with a smile on her face and seamlessly cued the bridesmaids and myself throughout. She was present but didn’t hover it was the perfect balance. Along with that she was my hype girl throughout it 3 Now let’s talk about the pictures, I’m not used to getting my picture taken and feel so uncomfortable being the center of attention but she tells you every detail you need, and if something doesn’t look right she’ll correct it gracefully in the moment. I felt like I got to enjoy my day without it feeling like a photoshoot. She delivered the pictures so fast!! A couple of my bridesmaids made comments about how fast the turnaround time was…and they were breathtaking!! Better than I ever could have imagined, I can’t stop looking at them. Not a moment was missed and due to her talent we have the most perfect picture to remind us of our special day for the rest of our lives. Do yourself a favor and book with her, worth every penny.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were worried we wouldn’t be able to find a photographer who could capture everything we wanted and truly fit our needs. Then we found Shelby—and from that moment on, every worry disappeared. We cannot recommend Shelby highly enough for all your wedding photography needs. From the very beginning, she stood out—not just for her stunning work we first saw on Instagram, but for the connection she built with us right after our initial call. We knew instantly we had found our photographer. Shelby’s meticulous planning, sharp attention to detail, and vibrant, fun energy made the entire experience an absolute joy from start to finish. She went above and beyond, not only capturing breathtaking images of our wedding day but also taking the time to truly get to know us as a couple. Our engagement shoot was the perfect warm-up. Meeting Shelby beforehand, getting comfortable in front of the camera, and building that trust meant that on our wedding day, it didn’t feel like we were meeting a vendor—it felt like we were welcoming a friend. On the big day itself, Shelby, her assistant, and her videographer were a dream team: professional, punctual, proactive, and seamless in their coordination. They helped everything flow effortlessly, and we both agreed they were hands down our favorite vendors to work with. The photos speak for themselves, but beyond that, Shelby gave us an experience we’ll never forget. My wife and I kept saying how incredibly lucky we were to have her as our photographer. If you’re searching for someone who will deliver jaw-dropping photos while making the process fun, stress-free, and deeply personal, Shelby is the one.

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
We hired Momo for our Chinese-Bengali fusion wedding celebration in lower east side of Manhattan in mid June 2024. We had a very small venue with 10 family members and 30 closest and dearest friends of ours for an intimate gathering. Momo’s camera closely followed and captured the unfolding of the event and the subtlest facial expressions of our family, guests and myself throughout the night. I got to know about her work from Red (Chinese Reddit) before entrusting her for one of the most important events of my life, but was still caught exhilarated by her work product on our event — her passion about photography and deep expertise in its technicality shined through the over 200-photo-well-woven storyline. Besides her exceptional work and high professionalism throughout our pre-and-during event communication, I appreciated her confident and genuine approach which I found down-to-earth, super helpful and reassuring — she really put in the work to understand you and amplify your shining traits. It’s such a pleasant and unforgettable experience to work with Momo. I would highly recommend her for any couples who are looking for wedding photographers.

Ashley is such a kind and wonderful person to work with! She made me and my bridal party feel comfortable going up to the big day. Pricing was reasonable and I went with her originally because she did not require more than 2 minimum people/services the day of on site, which put me at ease in case my girls decided later they did not want makeup done. Most services to go on site had a large minimum. Any questions I had in email she responded quickly which is a big help in the wedding planning process. On the big day she made sure my skin was prepped well and the cheeks/lips she was able to build up and make tweaks as we go so it would work perfectly with my look. The photos were amazing with the tones she picked and I got a slight glow as the night went on which is what I wanted, and it stayed all night! To add to it, she gave me the lip product to keep for touch ups at no cost! This is exactly who you want to be with you on your big day. Thank you so much Ashley!

I booked Nushy’s film for a summer backyard house warming party that was actually a surprise engagement party. She was amazing! She was very helpful, easy to work with, and went along with the ruse that it was a house warming party to fool our guest!!! I loved her commitment to our surprise and all the photos she took. Before the actual event she was very good during the planning processing when explains the type of photos we wanted to get from the party. I would totally book her again.

Awarded Best of Zola
Paul was absolutely incredible to work with! We had the pleasure of working with him for both our engagement shoot and wedding, and he made every moment enjoyable. From the start, Paul was kind, communicative, and incredibly creative. My husband and I can sometimes feel awkward in front of the camera, but Paul made us feel completely at ease. He avoided overly posed shots and instead guided us into natural, flattering poses, (but still fun and creative) which turned out stunning. We were a bit nervous about finding a great photo location without needing to drive somewhere else. We thought we might be able to take photos around the grounds; Paul arrived early and scouted out the best spots, ensuring we had the perfect backdrops for our pictures. We had a few edit requests, and Paul was more than accommodating. On the wedding day, he was meticulous in capturing all of our group photo requests and making sure no detail was missed. At the reception, Paul expertly documented all the little moments that will allow us to relive those joyful memories for years to come. We couldn't be happier with our photos!
