Juliette Zyg Picture Studios was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. Juliette and her team were always available to answer our questions and provide guidance throughout the planning process.

Nicole Lagoe Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (20 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Sylvan Beach, NY

Hey- I'm Nicole. When I'm not working with the raddest couples I'm typically brewery hopping with my wife, or home spending time with my three dogs. I live for SU basketball, and love just about any other Syracuse sports team (Crunch, Mets - count me in). I have been photographing weddings for over ten years, and in that time have had the opportunity to travel around the world and meet tons of new friends.

Awarded Best of Zola
There are a lot of great photographer options out there, and we had talked to a few before we spoke with Nicole. But when we hung up the phone after our initial chat, my fiance and I looked at each other and said, "I think that's our photographer?" And boy did we make the right choice. Nicole was responsive, professional, disarming, and thoughtful. She made us feel comfortable and supported, and covered every moment and every family pairing we wanted. It really felt like just had another friend at the wedding. So much so that afterwards, before we'd gotten the photos, we were like, "Honestly it doesn't matter what they look like, we're just kind of glad Nicole was at our wedding." But of course, every shot was incredible. We really felt like we got so much bang for honestly, in comparison, not a lot of buck. TL;DR: If we had to do our wedding again, Nicole would be our first call. Hire her!

Utano Event & Wedding Planning

  • Planner
  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Sylvan Beach, NY

I was born and raised in Central New York. I am a military wife, that married her high school sweetheart. We are your typical family with 2 kids, 2 dogs and 2 cats. We even have that dreamy white picket fence. I started working weddings and events in Syracuse as a server, and realized that event planning was my dream job. I have worked my way up the ladder and decided that it was time to branch out on my own. My years of experience in wedding and event planning have required me to have a sharp eye for detail, excellent problem-solving skills and work in fast paced environments to make planning fun and events less stressful!

Beth is AMAZING at what she does. We could not have survived our wedding without her. She is confident, organized and very knowledgeable. She also brought a lot of fun energy! She helped us address a lot of little details we never considered. When we needed guidance she helped us figure out what we want. She directed us to other incredible vendors like our photographer. As it got close to the wedding she was always available and quick to respond. She even added an extra meeting when I was stressed and felt like I needed to make sure we were on the right path with getting things done. When I started to panic about decor she sent me photos and even doodles to help me envision it which was not only helpful but made me laugh. Her and her team made our day so amazing and memorable. I can't say enough great things about her. She instilled so much confidence that we just knew if anything happened she would take care of it. We had absolute faith and trust in her and she handled everything perfectly. She took so much stress off of us. The coordination was very reasonably priced and she helped with all the set up and break down which I found that to be not included with a lot of other places- worth every penny. After our wedding everything was packaged up right by the door so we just packed the cars and left. If you're on the fence, definitely book with this company, you'll be so glad you did!!!!

Brittany and her team were absolutely amazing from the day I found her online. We had a bad experience with our previous photographer that left me very nervous on who I’d pick to document our wedding, and I could tell how genuine Brittany was from the start. She made us comfortable in front of the camera and orchestrated everything to a T. Her team captured all angles of the wedding, and we are thrilled with the outcome. Organized from start to finish, and I think that’s the most important part. The weather was cold, windy, and rainy on our special day, and Brittany accepted that challenge in stride and made the best of what we had to work with. Thank you, Brittany and team!

We are so over the moon happy that we had our wedding at the Inns of Aurora! Highly recommended! I can write a novel about our amazing experience but will try to keep it short. The venue is so magical and by the lake! During our site visit we fell in love with the historic charm and the colorful designs and arts in each of the Inns houses and couldn’t wait to share that with our family and friends. We worked very closely with Lindsey who was so sweet and responsive and helped us with all the details such as planning our tasting, all the details about rooming, options for rehearsal and Sunday breakfast. Closer to our wedding, Kim helped us with directing the details of our wedding day, helped us with the rehearsal and worked so seamlessly with all of our vendors. Our Vendors all loved working at the Inns because everyone is so organized and friendly. We are so thankful because Lindsey and Kim, were there for us through every step of our event planning. Kim was very kind and attentive and she spent every minute from Thursday through the end of Sunday supporting us! They were truly friendly and treated us with so much love. Kim and her team made sure we stayed on time and made sure we had a chance to eat and drink during the hours of the wedding. The food was truly delicious and exceptional, during our tasting at the wedding and anytime we ate the 1833 Kitchen. Many of the rooms are overlooking the water and one last thing we loved is the special granola bar that in my opinion is one of the Inns of Aurora’s signature details. The inns of Aurora and the Spa facility will always be a special place for us and we will definitely be back. Lots of love Negar and Adam

The staff at Tailwater made our big day unforgettable, not only for us, but for our guests too! They took care of every detail, and we felt like fast friends with the staff! I can't recommend them enough for any large event if you want to know it will be done right. Our guests are still raving about the food, the amenities, the venue, and the views of the river! All included photos are by the CoCo Collective, Cortney VanOrden!

I have been a floral designer for over 20 years. I enjoy working with flowers and seeing the happiness they bring to people. I firmly believe in quality floral product, providing the best customer service, while staying affordable. I am a woman-owned business and try to support local growers in the finger lakes area.

Our flowers were so beautiful! Rachel was responsive right away and kept in touch throughout the process. I didn’t think that I could get the florals that I wanted within my budget, but she took my budget and made beautiful floral arrangements. She matched my colors and vibe of my wedding perfectly.

From intimate dinners to full-scale celebrations, we specialize in curating thoughtful, beautiful events with purpose and intention. Our goal is to curate your story in a seamless, elevated & unforgettable way. We strive to not only create moments but rather memories that last a lifetime.

My husband and I found Amore from Envitation Event Planning a little over a month before our wedding, and truly, she was a godsend. After a previous day-of coordinator backed out, I made a post in the Long Island Budget Brides Asking Group looking for someone who could fit our budget. Amore’s comment immediately stood out, and after our first phone call, we just knew she was something special. She even traveled to us, which meant so much. From the moment we spoke, her professionalism, warmth, and genuine care were unmatched. As a very anxious bride, I cannot express how calming and reassuring she was. She listened, she understood, and she instantly made me feel like everything was going to be okay — and it absolutely was because of her. Amore went above and beyond in every single way. She executed all of my DIY projects flawlessly (even with a very short setup window), managed all of our vendors, kept everyone on timeline, handled vendor tips, coordinated cleanup, and still made sure my husband and I always had whatever we needed throughout the night. Our guests were even raving about her — that alone says everything. I can say with full confidence that without Amore, our day would not have been the magical, seamless, stress-free day it turned out to be. She cared for our wedding like it was her own, and that is something you cannot put a price on. If you’re on the fence, anxious, or wondering how everything will come together — especially if you have DIY setups or a tight schedule — my husband and I recommend Amore a thousand times over. Hiring her was one of the best wedding decisions we made. Thank you, Amore, for making our dream day truly perfect.

Peter is very professional and prompt during the entire planning process all the way through the event. After signing with him, we had no worries and knew that we had made an excellent decision going with him. He assists in anything you need along the way and was very understanding and sympathetic regarding us having to postpone because of COVID. Even though we had to have a Sunday wedding, he did an amazing job getting people on the dance flow and staying on the dance floor the entire night - overall, he was amazing to work with!

We all start this wild journey one way or another. My way? I was introduced to Ansel Adams’ work in a Photo 1 class in high school. How would the kids say this… his black and whites were giving adventure? What I mean is, they were nice. I had already been hiking the Adirondacks for 15 years at that point, why couldn’t I do it? Why couldn’t I take those photos too? I set out to prove to myself I could. Over the past decade I’ve evolved from landscapes to sports to family portraits to weddings. I continue all of those today. Never forget your roots, right?

As the Director of Events at Foxfire Mountain House, I worked with Joseph onsite for a November intimate wedding. Prior to the wedding weekend, Joseph was highly communicative to confirm all details of the timeline to ensure the day was smooth for the couple. He arrived with a great energy and put a lot of care into his shots and making the couple comfortable.
