Hayloft on the Arch was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first contacted them, Alisha and the team provided clear, quick, respectful and knowledgeable communication that made the planning process super easy. The venue itself is beautifully lit, open, easily accessible, and spotlessly clean - it was the ideal backdrop for our special day. When we had some last-minute complications with our caterer, Alisha handled the situation very professionally and eased my nerves, ensuring everything went off without a hitch.

Juliette Zyg Picture Studios

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Vernon Center, NY

Hello there!! I'm Juliette, and I've been wedding photographer and videographer for around seven years. I specialize in nostalgic and cinematic photo and video, and mix in-the-moment candids with editorial portraits (usually with flash photos!) Whether you’re having a wild wedding weekend, a thoughtful woodsy elopement or an elegant celebration at an estate, I'm here for it.

Awarded Best of Zola
At almost every moment leading up to our wedding day we knew we had made the right decision in hiring Juliette. We talked with quite a few photographers and videographers before settling on her and the main reason we did is just how easy she is to communicate and connect with. Always making us feel prioritized and accommodated to without overwhelming us. Any adjustments we made she was willing to roll with and always encouraged us to make decisions that would make us happy instead of anyone else. The pictures and videos themselves also turned out wonderful. Our main desire with hiring a videographer was to have someone capture as many special and genuine moments as they could while we enjoyed our day as carefree as we could. She most certainly succeeded on that front. My wife and I can’t recommend her enough, she made everything a breeze.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am honestly not even sure where to start. Charmaine was absolutely incredible. Originally, my husband and I were very nervous about hiring a florist. I mean, flowers are expensive! After a few weeks of wedding planning, however, we realized that we couldn't do it all ourselves. That's when we reached out to Charmaine. During our first call, I explicitly expressed our budget concerns with her. She made sure to keep our concerns in mind throughout the entire process, and the results were beautiful flowers that were right in our price range! Charmaine was consistently professional, kind, and she always responded to my texts and calls within minutes. Even though I hired her as a florist, she turned out to be a wonderful wedding planner as well! The florals were absolutely stunning! She went above and beyond for both the ceremony and reception. We received so many complements on them. I cannot recommend her enough for weddings and events!

Utano Event & Wedding Planning 

5.0

  • Planner
  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Vernon Center, 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!

I will preface this by saying that I am not very good at event planning/emails/phone calls and was somewhat dreading wedding planning. I hired Utano Events/Beth for my day of coordinator (and later added on serving staff) at the strong recommendation from my venue. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that my wedding would not have happened without Beth! She caught so many things that I had missed during the planning process. She walked me through rental order estimates, contacted and verified details with all vendors so I didn't have to, made my decor ideas into reality...the list goes on. She has relationships with tons of vendors in the area, and if she didn't work with them before they were sure to let me know how much they enjoyed having her coordinate the wedding. If you are planning a wedding, I would highly recommend hiring Utano Events, and if you are using a more "DIY" venue that doesn't offer many services on site I would VERY highly recommend hiring them!! Worth every penny!

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!

My husband and I got married at Inns of Aurora in August, and we can't express enough how wonderful our experience was from start to finish. The property is stunning— unique and charming, with impeccable attention to detail. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and the maintenance staff is a well-oiled machine. But most importantly, the staff at this property are incredible, and they made the planning and day-of experience so enjoyable. The events team is accommodating, organized, and very buttoned-up. During the months leading up to our wedding, we felt 100% supported by Lindsey and the in-house team. For a property that hosts weddings on most weekends, the team always made us feel like we were their only client. The recommended vendors were fantastic, and the vendors we sourced on our own were welcomed and directed flawlessly. The food was great and the venue worked with us to curate the perfect menu for our guests. On our wedding weekend, Kim served as our day-of coordinator, exceeding our expectations with her efficiency and helpfulness. Beyond her professionalism (she’s amazing at her job) she was a joy to be around, which makes a big difference on such a special day! The other on-site staff at the property were also incredibly welcoming and helpful to us and our guests. Overall, we cannot say more good things about Inns of Aurora. The venue was the most important choice we made while planning our wedding, and we definitely chose right.

My favorite thing about makeup is making someone look like a better version of themselves and helping them to feel confident and beautiful on their big day. I’m a Sephora Pro trained artist and was formally a Graphic Designer. I think my past training has given me a lot of insight and has let me be able to cater to all skin types and tones.

I cannot recommend enough! Tiffany did the most incredible job on my wedding day, giving me the perfect natural look that made me feel like the best version of myself. The makeup was flawless and lasted the entire night without any touch-ups, despite all the outfit changes, dancing and celebrating. On top of her amazing skills, she was such a joy to work with – so kind, patient, and professional. She truly went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable and beautiful. If you’re looking for someone who will deliver stunning results while making you feel at ease, she is the one! I don’t think I’ve ever felt so beautiful. I loved her so much I have used her for other events. My pictures don’t do any justice.

We all hear the stories of how stressful wedding planning can be, especially when you try to tackle it on your own, but with Chelsea by our side we can honestly say our entire wedding planning process went smoothly and was actually fun! Chelsea's experience, can-do attitude, creativity and organization skills were fundamental in planning the wedding of our dreams. From crafting a tailored timeline, coordinating directly with our vendors, running our rehearsal, decorating the reception to meet our vision, and caring for all of the other small details that come together to make the day whole - Chelsea is the best person for the job. We would have been lost without her both on the wedding day and in the months leading up to the wedding. Chelsea is incredible, not just in her talents but also in her character. In addition to the planning, coordinating, and decorating, Chelsea also checked in with my husband and I throughout the day - offering advice when needed, a joke when the humidity was starting to get to us, and even helped to clean my dress when wine was spilled. There is no one better to have in your corner on the day of your wedding - she'll have your back no matter what! After our wedding, my husband and I reflected on our wedding and the entire process. We both agreed that hiring Chelsea was the best decision we made. We are forever grateful, so thank you Chelsea!

Hands down the best professional makeup I’ve ever had! Hannah did my makeup along with my maids of honor, mother and mother of the groom. Not only is she extremely talented and easy to communicate with, but she was such a kind, sweet and professional presence on the day of my wedding. I did my trial on my bday (highly recommend) and didn’t want to change a thing for the wedding! My wedding day was the most beautiful I’ve ever felt thanks to Hannah. Her air brush makeup felt refreshing going on and felt light all day. She used the perfect colors for my cool toned skin and exceeded my expectations! I went for youthful, blushy, doll-like. My girls and moms loved their makeup as well, regardless of whether they asked for natural or glam, everyone looked incredibly radiant. It was so fun seeing everyone hop out of her chair looking like true goddesses! I would hire Hannah for any future makeup in a heartbeat!

Your wedding can feel daunting, confusing, and downright overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to be! My passion is to support you in a way that takes the pressure off, so that you can fully enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime day!

Brooke is an absolute gem and I feel so lucky that we were referred to her. I told her early on that I did not expect to personally have any fun on my wedding day, and all because of Brooke, I had without a doubt, the best day of my entire life. What a phenomenal way to kick of our marriage. We went back and forth on getting a planner, but finally decided that having a day-of coordinator would probably alleviate a lot of stress. Brooke went above and beyond what we expected from a day-of, always offering to take on tasks that seemed too overwhelming for us (finding shuttles, hotel blocks). She was responsive and routinely checked in on us formally and informally. Imagine our shock when we learned she was giving us so much attention and professionalism while she was in the middle of planning her OWN wedding just months before our date! If she was stressed by that, she never showed it, and she even offered us some advice based on her own personal experiences. I had never been in a wedding so I was not at all privy to what goes into planning. Brooke was totally on board with shirking some traditions while prioritizing what we valued most (sentimentality, personalization, guest experience). She made suggestions, but never made us feel pressured to do anything. I wanted full control over several aspects of the wedding and she never made me feel like I was not capable or stupid for, say, wanting to do my own flowers. During our meetings, she was organized and efficient and I always felt better after speaking with her. She made an effort to get in contact with all of our vendors and important people so that everyone could be on the same page for the weekend. She had never done a wedding at our venue (the Ithaca Farmers Market) and made an effort to acquaint herself with the space and (very thorough) procedures beforehand. Brooke is not only professional, flexible, and organized, She is also exactly the person you want with you on your wedding day. I have 2 ways of responding to stress – being a goof and being a snappy, rude b**** and Brooke responded to both with total grace and kindness. She gave me the space to crack jokes during the rehearsal, certainly dragging out the process, which made me feel like it was still OUR wedding and not someone else’s idea of a wedding. If something wasn’t going exactly the way I wanted (e.g. my dad forgot something important at the hotel), I would often take out my frustration on Brooke who would receive it, speak kindly to me, and smile (when what I really deserved sometimes was a slap). She has a way of making you feel seen, heard, and safe, which is exactly what you need when everyone’s eyes are on you. And it was not just me, everyone totally adored her and appreciated her presence. What was really important to me, is that to the extent there were any mistakes/miscommunications (inevitable!) Brooke always took accountability and never tried to redirect blame (even if it was not hers to accept). I really respect this in a person and did not find a ton of it in the wedding planning industry otherwise. Overall, Brooke listens, works super hard, treats you like a dear friend, lets you be yourself.

From our first conversation with Alicia, we knew we had found the perfect photographer for our wedding day. Her communication style was thorough, consistent, reliable, and she was always accessible to answer our questions. The quality of her work is truly meticulous - the photos have a light and airy, bright, happy, and vivid look that perfectly captured the joy of our special day, which is exactly what we asked her for. As two people who had never had professional photos done, Alicia did a great job in helping us feel comfortable in front of the camera starting with our engagement shoot and carrying over to our wedding day. She kept everything easy and on track while helping to calm our nerves on the big day. She was great working with our families and wedding party- from our two year old nephew to our grandparents. We are thrilled with the beautiful memories Alicia was able to create for us, and we highly recommend her services to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Peter was the DJ at our wedding on 9/21/2024, and we cannot say enough good things about him! He was extraordinarily organized (which was so helpful as a Type-A bride), and his planning form brought up items we never would've even considered. When our original venue closed, Peter immediately shifted gears and got to work planning for our new venue. He took the time to edit our first dance and parent dance songs, and even tracked down an Iranian song for us that my husband had requested. And best of all, he kept the dance floor packed all night! We highly recommend him to any couples who are considering a DJ for their wedding.
