Our wedding at Turning Stone was absolutely perfect! From start to finish, the experience exceeded every expectation. The food was incredible, and our guests are still talking about it. Alaina and Morghan went above and beyond to ensure every detail was flawless. The entire team at Turning Stone, from Food and Beverage to the Hotel staff, was truly amazing.

Juliette Zyg Picture Studios 
Rating: 5.0 (32 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Verona, 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
Photography and videography were one of the most important vendors to me while planning my wedding. Booking with Juliette was one of the best decisions I made about my wedding (coming from a very lucky bride who had a 10/10 perfect wedding day). She is so incredibly talented and her work is both professional in quality and personally unique in style. Working with her and her husband Teddy was so comfortable and felt like I was talking to old friends every time we’d check in by FaceTime or worked together in person. She worked with me even with my busy work schedule and is the best for setting up packages that highlight everything you want on your big day and doesn’t force/pressure the things you don’t feel you need/want. She also helps to plan out a reasonable payment plan schedule that made making payments so much less stressful over several months leading up to the wedding. I am so thankful to her for making this part of my wedding less stressful and capturing so many beautiful moments. I could write a book with all the nice things I have to say, highly recommend for any/all occasions! The absolute best!

Utano Event & Wedding Planning

  • Planner
  • Offers 4 services

  • Serves Verona, 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!!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Alla truly brought our wedding vision to life in the most beautiful way. She was in charge of our stage decor, transferring everything seamlessly to the reception, and setting up our sweetheart table — and she executed every detail flawlessly. Walking into the church and seeing the stage decorated exactly how I had envisioned (honestly, even better) was such a special moment for me. She listened so carefully to what I wanted and somehow turned the ideas in my head into something tangible and breathtaking. The sweetheart table was so elegant and romantic — it felt like our own little haven in the middle of the celebration. What meant just as much as her talent was her kindness. She was calm, warm, and so easy to work with throughout the whole process. On such an emotional and busy day, having someone dependable and genuinely kind handling such an important part made all the difference. She didn’t just decorate a space, she created an atmosphere that felt intimate, sacred, and beautiful. I’m so grateful for her and would recommend her to any bride who wants their vision executed with excellence and heart.

Awarded Best of Zola
We connected 4.5 months out from our wedding - after our original venue fell through and we had to find a new one - Courtney showed up eager, confident, excited and supportive. It was important for her to build a friendship first, learn about us then dive into everything that we needed and THEN some. Her experience within the event and wedding planning industry shows immediately - her connections to vendors, advice, ideas and knowledge of how a successful day looks is a huge part of what makes her team so powerful - not to mention the extremely bubbly, funny and positive energy she brings to every conversation and meeting. To top it all off, the morning and afternoon of our wedding day was a straight monsoon - Courtney and her team did not blink, jumped into GO mode and turned our day, venue, timeline and energy around flawlessly. Crown Coordination are the people you want by your side for anything that could unexpectedly pop up! We will always be thankful for their guidance, support and incredible partnership. This is your sign to call Crown Coordination ASAP!

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.

From martini ice luges to a raw bar, Rachael saw our vision and said “you got it” with no hesitation. It was almost like Rachael brought the most magical sunset to our wedding too.

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.

Rachel was incredible to work with ! I shared my budget/ vision and she worked with me to fit my needs. My bouquet was just like my inspos that i shared with her, all my center pieces were generous in size and did not hurt the wallet. She was friendly, professional and on time. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her for my wedding. Thank you !

Envitation is an eco-conscious wedding and event planning company serving NY , Long Island & Beyond. 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.

Mackenzie Stevenson Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Verona, NY

Documentary wedding photographer based in Central New York and always ready to travel wherever your story takes us. With 9 years of wedding experience and a B.A. in Photojournalism from Rochester Institute of Technology, my approach is rooted in storytelling, genuine connection, and capturing moments as they naturally unfold. My work has been featured in Shutter Up Magazine and the Syracuse Post-Standard. Dog mom, Noah Kahan fanatic, and probably crying behind the camera during your vows.

We can't say enough about Mackenzie Stevenson Photography. From our first message, she got back to us right away and answered every question we had. She really listened to what we wanted and helped us figure out the best ideas for our wedding day. During the shoot, Mackenzie was like our personal cheerleader—she kept us relaxed and let us focus on having fun while she caught all the real moments without us even thinking about it. Her editing brought out the perfect feel in every photo, and we honestly don't know how she made everything look so good. We'll be recommending her to anyone we know who needs a photographer.

Peter did a great job DJing our wedding at Emerson Park Pavilion on 11/9/24! When we were looking for DJs we were able to video chat with Peter to get a feel for his experience and style. He was very communicative and available. Shortly before the big day we chatted with Peter again to go over our song selections, how to trim certain songs that were too long, intros, the ceremony and more. Peter was very helpful in preparation, even sending out audio files of our first dance song that he trimmed down to an ideal 2:30. His planning form was very helpful, too! Peter arrived on time before the ceremony and kept things running smoothly and organized all day. We wanted to spend as much time on the dancefloor as possible, and Peter did a great job with keeping the party going! He played all our requested songs and threw in a couple of more tunes that fit perfectly. It was a fantastic night, and Peter was a big reason why! We would definitely recommend him for your upcoming central NY wedding.
