The Estate is such a beautiful space. When we booked about 2 years ago, we were nervous with the outdated look to it but ultimately thought the rooms were so big and would fit a big wedding. Over that time, they updated so much and it transformed the rooms it feels so open and airy in there. Jennifer was amazing throughout the whole process. She answered all of my questions so quickly. It gave me so much calm knowing I would have an answer within an hour. The day before we met with Tony who was our Maitre D. He is very obviously very experienced. He took all 1,645 bins of things I had and made sure everything was set. He made me so excited and took away my anxiety. Sweet Marylou was an angel. Marylou was our bridal attendant and oh my goodness she really made the day so lovely. She helped reapply my lipstick after dinner, fixed my bustle, made sure I ate and had a drink. We were so thankful to her. She said something my husband will never forget. “My wedding day was the absolute happiest days of my life and I am lucky enough to be a part of everyone else’s happiest day. Cherish each other” We will never forget them because they made it so wonderful. Every guest said they were never hungry or thirsty. The service was wonderful and there was not an issue in sight. We were so so pleased we chose The Estate as our venue. Thank you guys for everything!

Awarded Best of Zola
Palla Beauty was an absolute DELIGHT to work with for my wedding weekend (Saturday and Sunday!) beauty needs. From the moment I first spoke with Nicole, her communication style was effortlessly direct and collected - she made me feel heard about my wants and also offered incredible suggestions to elevate my look. Nicole was very clear about planning and timing (as any incredible wedding vendor should be!), but also had an open ear for understanding my preferences and adjusting my makeup and hairstyle accordingly. She is so incredibly skilled with her makeup and hair brushes and the makeup and truly made me feel so beautiful! The extensions she gave me for my Sunday look lasted through dancing and snow and so much jumping!! Nicole also worked on makeup with my mom, who can sometimes be a tough customer (but Nicole handled it with ease!) and TOTALLY EXCEEDED my mother’s expectations (particularly because she is new to makeup!). On my wedding day, Nicole made me feel like a princess - I felt so confident, and the makeup and hairstyle lasted flawlessly through tears, winter weather, and heavy dancing. Nicole was so adaptable to my changing energy levels and needs, so easy to talk to, and a gem to work with. I feel really lucky that I was able to find someone who was so skilled with makeup and also was able to really elevate my hair and make it exactly what I always dreamed of for my wedding!!! I can't recommend Palla Beauty highly enough!

RIE Makeup & Hair 
Rating: 5.0 (41 reviews)
  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 5
  • Starts at $550
  • Serves Wading River, NY

Rie is a NYC/Long Island based makeup artist/hair stylist for Beauty, Fashion, Portrait Photography, and Weddings. ​ All the makeup products in Rie's kit are cruelty free. Rie's style is "Natural" and "Feel like yourself but better" makeup look!

Awarded Best of Zola
Rie was a lifesaver! I had initially reached out to a different vendor in September of 2024 and we had an ongoing conversation while I considered pricing through November. We had a verbal agreement to work together but before she sent me her contract she ghosted me. I thought it was because the holidays were coming up and we all get busy at the end of the year. But mid-January come along, I had not heard back, and I was a little over two months away from my wedding! I reached out to a ton of makeup artists, and Rie was among the first to respond. She was so understanding from the get-go and her kindness paired with her makeup style was what sold me! Immediately, I knew she was who I wanted to work for. Rie provided makeup services for me and five of my six bridesmaids by herself. She was even able to work with me to find time to do a makeup trial despite both our busy schedules (getting married in the off season I'm sure helped). She worked so efficiently and even finished before our scheduled time, and provided us all with little touch up kits. I tend to not wear too much makeup and the same goes for most of my bridesmaids, and Rie was able to take her "natural makeup" style and personalize it to everyone. I only wear makeup on special occasions, and when I do, I tend to be hyper aware of my face and the makeup on it. But Rie's application was so good, that I did not think about the makeup on my face once throughout the ten hour day. The natural makeup style might not be for everyone, the same way full glam is not for me, but if you lean that way, I highly recommend working with Rie!

From planning to the actual wedding day High Voltage was beyond incredible. Planning was made so simple with their detailed form and their availability to answer any questions we had. Day of all members at our wedding (Angelo, Billy, Matt, and Anthony) were amazing. They checked in with us to make sure we liked the vibe, if we wanted to request or change anything, and if we needed anything at all. They even checked in with guests asking if they would do anything to help. There was not one minute the dance floor was not packed with people. They did an excellent job reading the room and changing the music to fit everyones preference. We got countless compliments on how amazing the DJ was and asking us to forward their information so that they could hire them for their next party. We also used their photo booth which was amazing quality and they made us a scrap book and sent over digital copies of all the photos. I would highly recommend High Voltage for any wedding or party!

We had our wedding at The Essex Club and it was truly flawless from start to finish. The venue itself is beautiful, but what really made the experience exceptional was the level of care that went into every single detail. From the very beginning, Jessica in sales was incredible. She was organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure our day turned out exactly the way we envisioned it. No matter how many questions we had or how many little tweaks we wanted to make, she always handled everything with patience, kindness, and complete professionalism. She made the entire planning process feel so easy. The day-of staff was just as amazing our bridal attendant Jalissa and the maître D Rob were both attentive and on top of everything without ever being intrusive. The rest of the staff ran everything so smoothly and make sure every detail was perfect. Our guests are still talking about how delicious the food was, we went to all the show cases that we could and picked off experience, from cocktail hour all the way through dessert. Every dish was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or a better team.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! We hired AMP DJ/BAND HYBRID for our wedding and they were one of the best decisions we made. From the start, they were so easy to communicate with, incredibly professional, and genuinely attentive to our family’s needs. They even added last-minute band members with total ease, no stress, just smooth execution. We wanted a big party vibe, and that is exactly what we got. The vocals were phenomenal, the musicianship was outstanding, and the energy they brought was unreal. The perfect blend of music kept the dance floor packed all night, and the band read the room effortlessly. They were also so open to our personal touches, like my dream of having a big group sing-along, and they embraced it with enthusiasm. At the end of the night, they were even flexible and kind enough to stay for one last song, making the finale feel absolutely magical. One of our favorite parts was how interactive the performers were. The saxophonist, trumpet player, and lead singers came out onto the dance floor, mingled with guests, and encouraged everyone to get up and celebrate. It made the whole night feel electric and personal. A special highlight was how graciously they welcomed a performance from one of our wedding guests, seamlessly bringing them into the band and turning it into a moment we’ll never forget. If you want a team that is exceptionally talented, energetic, flexible, and dedicated to creating an unforgettable celebration, AMP DJ/BAND HYBRID is the ONLY choice. We cannot recommend them enough!

So I was looking for a photographer to do my 35th birthday photoshoot. My birthday was in August and I was looking for someone from May. I couldn't find anyone that was in the price range I was looking for. I didn't know photoshoot was so expensive. Anyhow I decided I wasn't gonna do it again since I can't find a reasonable priced photographer. One of my co worker at the time was getting married and she was telling me about her phoyoshoot for her engagement and how the guy was reasonable and professional and so on. So I asked her for his contact and so on. I messaged him and he gave me his packages and they were the most reasonable since my search. I decided to take a chance with him after seeing the work he did for my co worker and trust me I didn't regret it. Julian was patient and passionate about his craft. My package was 25 pictures and Julian took over 200 pictures. I had fun. After the shoot he sent all the pictures for me to choose the ones I want edited which I couldn't choose just 25 because they were all so good. So I told him I can't choose that small amount . I asked him if I could choose more and he gave me a discount. He said sure. Then I choose about 30 then he said he won't charge me extra he will just give me as a birthday gift. My pictures were clean and eye dazzling. I love them all. Julian went above and beyond for all the small details I wanted to add to my pictures as well. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing photographer. And I would personally use him again. One of my best photoshoot yet.

I hired Matt to capture my sister's engagement photos on New Year's Eve, and he delivered beyond expectations! Andrew, her fiancé, arranged the surprise at the Port Jeff Rinx, and Matt was absolutely incredible. He came prepared with ice skates, effortlessly gliding on the rink to get the perfect shots. His creativity, professionalism, and expertise were evident in every moment—he is truly a master of his craft. The photos were stunning, and Matt's ability to capture the emotion and joy of the occasion was remarkable. I can’t wait to work with him again in the future. Highly recommend!

Ashley Film Studios did an outstanding job capturing our special day. From start to finish, their communication was fun, friendly, creative, and incredibly supportive. The quality of their work is amazing—both professional and heartwarming. We even showed our dance teacher and he was in tears. They made my husband and me feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and the final video is a beautiful keepsake that we'll cherish forever. Watching it brought us to tears; it perfectly captures the essence of our day. We wholeheartedly recommend Ashley Film Studios to any couple looking for a videographer who will go above and beyond to make your wedding truly unforgettable. Just book them now!
