We absolutely loved our cake from Jenn as well as the process of working with her! She made it so easy to try various cake and filling combinations with her sampler box and offered helpful advice to give us confidence in our final selection. Jenn was great to collaborate with on design ideas and worked easily with our florist to add flowers to our cake. Delivery to our venue was seamless and we received so many compliments on how delicious the cake was. We can’t wait to enjoy it again when we defrost the top tier on our anniversary!

Having Tara by my side on my wedding as an absolute dream. Our wedding would not have gone as smooth if I didn't have Tara with me to remind me what we had coming up next. Having done an amazing job with our engagement photos, we knew our wedding photos would come out just as great. She did a great job leading us to picturesque places at our venue and guiding us through what poses would look perfect. She captured every emotion we had that day and I'm so happy to have all these moments taken by her.

Kristin and Demi were fabulous to work with. From our first trial, the vibes were relaxed and fun. My makeup wasn’t quite what I was looking for on my first trial and Demi really listened to the feedback I gave and blew me away on the second try. They listened to my concerns about sensitive skin and really made me feel comfortable the whole time. I don’t typically wear makeup either, and originally came in with no real idea of how I wanted to look, so I know I wasn’t the easiest customer either. They were fabulous with my family and friends too, catering to several different styles. My hair stayed in place all night despite wind and rain and a lot of dancing and my husband told me my makeup still looked fabulous at the after party! Thank you both for helping me feel beautiful on a very special day!

I'm Amanda, your tatted up wedding photographer. Party documentary, part guidance & all heart! My approach is fun, energetic, and relationship- focused- I take time to connect with my couples so they feel comfortable and truly can enjoy their wedding. Your wedding isn't a non- stop photo shoot it's about real moments, and genuine emotion. The big moments, the quiet ones, & everything in between. I give direction, but never stiff posing and never telling you to "fake laugh". If you're dreaming of a wedding day that feels like you- filled with laughter, happy tears and moments that unfold naturally- I'm your girl!

We are absolutely thrilled with our experience working with Amanda and LOVE all the photos we’ve received so far. From the very beginning, we knew we loved her style. The way she photographs and edits is intentional, romantic, and timeless. Her work has a moody, cinematic quality that still feels natural and true, and seeing our own photos come to life in that style has been incredible. Amanda made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, which meant so much to us. Our wedding day was cold and incredibly windy, yet Amanda was kind, patient, and easy to work with throughout the day. Multiple family members even mentioned how much they loved her after brief interactions during the wedding, which says so much about her professionalism and demeanor. She also photographed our engagement session and went above and beyond by traveling to a location that was very special to us. The weather was less than perfect, but we embraced the rain and had so much fun. The experience felt effortless and completely true to who we are, confirming we had chosen the right photographer. We’re SO glad she was the one who captured our day!

  • Serves Wappingers Falls, NY

Jesse and Justin have been playing music together since they met performing in a band at Disneyland in 2001. After moving to Beacon, NY around the same time, it made sense to start an official wedding music business to share their love of music with some of the many happy couples getting married in the Hudson Valley. One thing they love about playing music for weddings is the variety that is required of them. Every gig is different and they all happen on one of the happiest days of the clients' lives!

Awarded Best of Zola
Justin was a pleasure to work with from the initial interview to the last song at our wedding. Justin played with a three piece band for our ceremony (guitar, piano, bass) and cocktail hour (saxophone, piano, bass) and then DJ'd our reception. Justin made sure that the music played at our wedding and cocktail hour was tailored to specifically match the vibe of our dinner playlist. He even surprised us by playing one of our favorite Herbie Hancock tunes during cocktail hour. The vibe of the live jazz trio during cocktail hour was a perfect transition over to dinner. Justin then switched over to DJ our dinner and reception afterwards. He played all the right songs to keep the dance floor flowing all night. If you are seeking a combination of live music and DJ at your wedding I would highly recommend Skylark Music.

Fran, Evelise, and the rest of the team did an amazing job at our wedding! They were so helpful in creating a timeline for 12 girls and brought such positive energy the morning of. They took all of our visions and inspiration photos and brought them to life. Fran was great at answering any questions I had before the day, especially leading up. It was so hot out on my wedding (and it rained at some point) and my hair and make up both still looked amazing when I finally took it out at 3am.

f you are an anxious bride, do yourself a favor and hire Eddie immediately. Hiring him was truly the best decision I made for our wedding! From the moment we booked, his communication was phenomenal, which completely put me at ease. On the big day, he brought such a calming energy, focused entirely on making sure we were having fun, and even stepped in to fix my veil! Beyond being an incredible photographer, he is a master of crowd control—he seamlessly wrangled my absolutely wild family, kept us perfectly on schedule, and always had everyone laughing. His level of organization is unmatched. Even though it was freezing cold and pouring rain, he didn't hesitate to go outside with Ryan and me at the venue, and the pictures turned out absolutely amazing. We are so incredibly grateful

I used Heather for our chuppah rental for my wedding at Windham Manor. I saw her brown bark chuppah on Instagram and immediately knew I had to have it. Heather was amazing to work with and the result was absolutely stunning! I am so in love with how it turned out. She even helped me customize the wooden platform from another one of her rentals to work with our chuppah and give me the exact vision I wanted. She was also super flexible. I was slow to decide which location at the venue I wanted the ceremony at and she did not rush me at all. I ended up wanting the ceremony on the grass and the venue said the chuppah would have to be taken down the same night if we were to be allowed to do this. Of course Heather said this would be no problem at all and was immediately willing to stay and do this for us. They day of our wedding ended up being a bit crazy with on and off rain but Heather was totally calm and go with the flow while the planner worked on making the rain decision. She also attached a family tallis to the top of the chuppah and it stayed perfectly, despite the not ideal weather conditions. Highly recommend working with Heather!!!

Black Walnut Farm will always hold a special place in our hearts. It was the first venue we saw, and the moment we stepped on the property, we knew it was where we were meant to get married. From the start, Sara, Jim, and their team cared for us with such warmth and attention. Their online planning portal made everything simple, but what we loved most was how personally they got to know us. They listened to our vision and brought it to life in a way that felt truly meaningful. Throughout the weekend, every detail was handled with so much thought. Our guests felt welcomed, we felt supported, and even when the weather forced last-minute changes, the team stayed calm and kept everything running beautifully.

We got married in November at the Silver Bay YMCA, and we cannot recommend Scott and his team enough. We knew we wanted a live band for part of our wedding and they were the best band we could have chosen. Our first meeting with Scott we could tell he understood our wedding day vision right away and was willing to work with us on learning new music to fulfill our nerdy requests. For example the team learned acoustic versions of 90's alternative songs, and the groomsmen and bridal party walked down the aisle to Legend of Zelda, my wife walked down the aisle to Nightmare before Christmas, and then we recessed to Studio Ghibli. Cocktail hr, all our guests commented how amazing the band was and how they enjoyed the live music. If you want something different for your wedding, we were thoroughly impressed at the musical abilities and made our music dreams come true. Thank you to this very special team!

  • Serves Wappingers Falls, NY

I'm Matthew, a wedding photographer based in Garrison, NY. With a decade as a wedding photographer and 15 years as an educator, I bring two things to every wedding: the ability to document moments as they happen, and the calm to handle whatever the day brings. I prepare carefully, communicate beforehand, and stay present when it's busy. My style is mostly documentary. I blend into the wedding, observing and documenting moments as they happen rather than staging them. Feedback I hear most often is that couples weren't aware of me, but that I got everything. I work with all couples and celebrate every kind of love, and every kind of marriage.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot emphasize enough how much we loved working with Matthew. I'm going to break this review down into a few areas that I think were particularly meaningful to my experience working with Matthew: Photo Style I think Matthew's portfolio speaks for itself, but I just appreciate so much how his style blends dreamy romantic shots with a photojournalistic approach. My wedding photos really feel like they captured not only the memories of the day, but the feelings we had. Pre and Post Wedding Communication From our initial booking, Matthew was extremely easy to talk to, and made it easy to understand and talk through the details of our contract and what we could expect. I think for people who are planning a wedding for the first time don't realize how much having a vendor who is patient, detail-oriented, and willing to hold your hand and guide you through the process of booking, understanding your goals, and planning for your special day matters, and Matthew could teach a masterclass in this. The pre-work Matthew did of planning, researching the venue, coordinating, and communicating effectively and efficiently was next-level professionalism, and really sets the bar for what it means to book a wedding photographer. I also think it's important to note that all of the post wedding communication has been top-notch – I think it would be understandable to call the job done after the check is paid, but quality of our communication has been consistently amazing. Day-Of Logistics / Shot Direction Matthew and his second photographer followed the plan we had set pre-wedding to a T. They were actively leading the coordinating and making sure we had all of the necessary people ready to keep to our timeline. When it was time to do different set shots (family, bridal party, ceremony, sunset), Matthew had locations in mind and was able to give guidance that made us feel comfortable and natural while getting so so many amazing shots (in very constrained timeframes). Personality I think Matthew has a very high emotional intelligence, and he was so good at genuinely making everyone feel comfortable in subtle ways. My family and my husband are all very camera shy, and notoriously hate getting their photos taken. There were so many little interactions and things that Matthew did and said that made each person feel comfortable in their own way. A few examples that come to mind: - At one point, my mom was leaning against a staircase, and Matthew took a portrait of her and told her she was a natural at posing – up until that point, she had been feeling and looking nervous, and after that she really opened up and looked so happy and comfortable. - My dad is extremely camera shy, hates being on camera and typically looks terrified and self conscious in photos. Matthew said a few things while he was taking our photos that I think really made my dad focus on how excited he was for me and my wedding, and you can just see how happy and loving he is in the photos.

From our first conversation with The Garrison, my husband and I felt completely at ease and confident that they would bring our wedding vision to life. Their communication was prompt, supportive, and consistent throughout the entire planning process. On the day of our wedding, we didn't have to worry about a single thing - the team had everything under control. They collaborated seamlessly with our other vendors to ensure a flawless event flow. The Garrison's attention to detail and organization was unparalleled, and the views from their venue were simply breathtaking. We were blown away by the incredible value we received for the space, service, and execution of our special day. The Garrison truly made our wedding dreams a reality, and we couldn't recommend them more highly.

We absolutely loved having our wedding at Full Moon Resort. From the moment we arrived we were received with such warmth and welcome that we knew this was the place for our wedding. With enough place to stay on site for all of our guests we were able to have our dream wedding that felt like a two day adult campground. We loved being able to have people within walking distance of all the activities and not have to worry about transportation for our guests. The grounds are absolutely perfect for a wedding and the event team and the front desk run the whole place like a well oiled machine. Absolutely amazing that they have delicious catering on site and many different options for the wedding ceremony in case of bad weather so there is nothing for the bride to worry about on the day of her wedding. The event team and front desk were able to help us plan the whole wedding weekend and ensure that we did not have any issues coordinating with the venders on the actual day of the wedding which was such a relief or any issues with guest information. The vendor list was also extremely comprehensive and ensured that we only selected the best vendors for our wedding. Our guests didn't want to leave at the end of the weekend and they made us want to get married all over again. Thank you for such an amazing experience and helping us create the wedding weekend that we dreamed of :)

We absolutely loved working with Dahlia Events for our wedding. Deliece was our main point of contact, and she was truly a joy and an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. She took care of everything we needed, and so much more than we even knew to ask for. Deliece came prepared with spreadsheets, thoughtful questions, and clear guidance that helped us navigate decisions we didn’t even realize we needed to make, but that proved to be essential. Her organization and attention to detail made the entire planning process feel manageable and well-supported. She handled communication with all of our vendors seamlessly and always made us feel completely taken care of, no matter the detail. When a few hiccups came up along the way, she addressed them with such ease, professionalism, and genuine empathy that we never felt stressed or worried. Beyond her incredible competence, Deliece also brought the warmest, most positive energy, our calls were always something we genuinely looked forward to. And on the wedding day itself, nothing was missed (and I truly mean nothing). Everything ran so smoothly, allowing us to fully enjoy the day without a single concern. We cannot recommend Dahlia Events highly enough. Working with Deliece was one of the very best decisions we made for our wedding.
