We can't say enough about Shore Catering and what Summer did for us. She didn't just cater our wedding—she actually helped us find our venue too, which was such a huge relief during the planning process. From our first conversation through the big day, Summer was responsive, kind, and always there when we needed her, whether we were calling or emailing with questions. On the wedding day itself, she and her team moved quickly and handled everything that came up, keeping our guests happy and fed with delicious food in our beautiful space. Summer's hard work and problem-solving made our day feel effortless, and we're so grateful to have found someone who truly cared about making our wedding special.

Sergio and his team at PEG were truly exceptional and I am so happy we booked them for our wedding! We had them do our ceremony music, our reception DJ , live sax player, and photo booth! Sergio worked with us every step of the way to make sure we had a package that worked for us. The dance floor was not empty for a single second of the night! The Sax player was a huge hit!

  • Officiant

  • Starts at $150
  • Serves West Long Branch, NJ

Hitched! By Harper is where unforgettable ceremonies meet authentic storytelling. I’m a firefighter-turned-award-winning officiant who crafts one-of-a-kind wedding experiences rooted in joy, meaning, and a touch of humor. Since 2010, I’ve helped couples of all backgrounds feel seen, celebrated, and totally at ease on their big day. Every ceremony is written from scratch to reflect your vibe, your values, and your story—not a template in sight.

My fiancé and I had Kevin officiate our wedding in August of 2025, and it was one of the best wedding decisions we made in the whole process! We were struggling on who we wanted to officiate our non-denominational ceremony, and with one month until our wedding day we found multiple recommendations for Hitched by Harper. The process was so easy, and for not knowing him personally, we had no less than 10 people on our wedding day asking something to the affect of “the officiant was amazing and personable, how did you know each other” and we actually had a friend book him for a wedding shortly after! Kevin was beyond impressive and we would recommend him and his services to anyone! If I could give this more than 5 stars I would.

Chrys and her team did the make up and hair for my wedding in June 2025. My family, friends, and I were SO HAPPY we used Chrys Coles Make Up. Chrys made my make up dreams come true! I absolutely loved it. I would HIGHLY recommend Chrys. She had initially done the make up for my sister and I was so pleased with the make up that I booked her for my wedding the moment I got engaged. You will not be disappointed.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had such a great experience with Enchanted Celebrations for our wedding! From the beginning, Summer was wonderful to work with. She was very responsive, helpful, and always quick to answer our questions throughout the planning process. Our photographer, Ash, was amazing. He was extremely professional, attentive, and so easy to work with. You can really see how devoted and passionate he is about his work and how much he cares about getting the perfect shots. He had great ideas throughout the day and made us feel completely taken care of. Even some of our friends noticed how great he was and commented on it afterward. Our videographer, Randolph, was also amazing. His enthusiasm and positive energy made us feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera. He was very attentive throughout the day, and we could tell he genuinely cared about capturing all the important moments. The only thing I would recommend to future couples is that if you choose a specific photographer from their portfolio, ask Enchanted Celebrations to confirm that person’s availability before making your payment. We selected a photographer when we booked about eight months before our wedding, but around two weeks after booking, we were told that photographer wasn’t available. Their contract does state that if your selected photographer isn’t available, they can assign another photographer from those available, but I would have appreciated having the availability confirmed before we booked and paid. That being said, we ended up being extremely happy with Ash and Randolph. They were both wonderful to work with and made us feel like we were in great hands on such an important day. We can’t wait to see everything they captured. Thank you to the entire Enchanted Celebrations team! Her are pictures taken from Ash the photographer for the engagement shoot !

I’m Madalina, a wedding photographer based in Miami and the Jersey Shore, but I’ll happily follow love wherever it takes me.

This is what dreams are made of. When I was a little girl, I had big dreams about what my future wedding would look like. As I got older and realized how much everything costs, I started to think my dream wedding would stay just that—a dream. But one thing never changed: I always wanted to get married in a little white chapel and walk down the aisle to the sound of a violin. Petya made that dream come true. From the moment I first reached out to her, we instantly connected. I knew, without a doubt, that no matter where we ended up getting married, she had to be a part of it. I’d listen to her music on YouTube and just melt. She’s cheerful yet calming, incredibly talented, and truly helped put me at ease throughout the process. The morning of my wedding was stressful, but Petya texted me with encouragement, lifting my spirits and getting me excited for the day ahead. Guests even told me how beautiful the atmosphere was as they waited for my arrival—all because of the ambiance she created through her music. As the church doors opened and I saw my soon-to-be husband standing at the altar, the sound of Petya’s violin made it feel like I was walking into a dream. I couldn’t see anyone else—it was as if her melody was wrapping around just the two of us. It might sound dramatic, but we had a very Christian ceremony, and we asked her to play worship music. It made the moment feel sacred, like God’s presence was truly among us. At the end of the ceremony, I ran up to her and couldn’t help but gush about how incredible she was. She gave us our fairytale moment.

At the heart of every wedding is the same beautiful truth: two people choosing each other. We believe deeply that love is love, and every couple deserves to feel seen, celebrated, and safe on one of the most meaningful days of their lives.

We are honored to document love stories in all their forms and to create space where every couple feels welcomed, supported, and genuinely celebrated.

Bokeh Love saved my wedding! I was in a panic when my circumstances changed and I was left without a photographer with just over 4 months until my out of state wedding. Lauren was able to get me booked and planned out in time for my day. Her and her assistant were fantastic. They were not afraid to help wrangle relatives that were interfering to make sure that my husband and I got the pictures we wanted. The final results are beautiful. I got every shot I wanted and I love everything I got. I can’t recommend her enough!

I honestly still cant belive how good the pictures and video turned out!! Every little moment from the morning to the very last dance is in there and it feels like im reliving the whole day again. The video is so emotional but also fun, it has the perfect balance. I loved that they caught the laughter and not just the posed parts. Even my grandma who hates being on camera looks happy and natural. My friends keep saying its the best wedding video they’ve ever seen, and I totally agree. The colors are bright but not too fake, just real and beautiful. They also made me feel calm even when I was super nervus before walking down the aisle. When I look at the album it feels like a story book of my wedding day. I cried watching it again last night with my husband. I will be showing these forever to anyone who comes to my house lol. Honestly this is the best thing we invested in for the wedding, no regrets at all.

Being able to look back, remember the great laughs, and reminisce a particular night is what we all look forward to. Our goal is to help everyone remember one of the best nights by telling your story through our eyes. There is no better compliment than for you to show your loved ones what happened through one of the best days of your lives.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience during our engagement shoot! From the moment we arrived, the energy was infectious — we were laughing, moving, and genuinely having the time of our lives. It never once felt like a photoshoot; it felt like spending the afternoon with a friend who just happened to have a camera. What truly set our photographer apart was the perfect balance of fun and professionalism. They kept the session lighthearted and exciting while never losing their sharp eye for the details that make a photo extraordinary — the way the light hit just right, thoughtful staging of every scene, and gentle, natural posing direction that made us both feel completely at ease in front of the camera. No stiff, awkward poses here — every shot felt candid and authentic. Their patience was also something we deeply appreciated. They never rushed us, always made sure we were comfortable, and took the time to get each shot exactly right. You can feel that care and intentionality in every single image. And the final photos? Absolutely stunning. The quality speaks for itself — crisp, vibrant, and full of genuine emotion. We are so in love with every single one and will treasure them forever. If you are on the fence, consider this your sign to book them immediately. You will not regret it for a single second. We are already counting down the days until our wedding so we can work with them again!

I love truly love capturing your real life moments and emotions. Yes I am organized as hell and type A, but balance that with heavy doses of standing back and just capturing the moment as it’s happening. I feel a real connection with all the wild hearts out there, and would love it if you let me capture yours!

My wife and I booked Wild Hearts for our 2025 wedding. This was the single best decision we made for our wedding (aside from choosing to get married). Kamelia is a fabulous photographer, a fastidious planner, and an encouraging partner for your wedding day. Kamelia is equally comfortable keeping order during wedding chaos and being a bastion of support who will tirelessly and patiently listen to all of your wedding woes. I cannot say enough good things about Kamelia. She made my wife feel supported and sane throughout the wedding process by offering sage, leveled advice and being a constant source of understanding and reassurance. She made me, who is not often comfortable in front of the camera, feel at home in our shoots. Never once when working with Kamelia did photos feel tedious, unwelcome, or unenjoyable; rather, every moment with her was fun, easy, and smooth. As a photographer, Kamelia has a unique skill to capture the beauty of small moments, to represent love and affection and happiness in timeless images. Life becomes art through Kamelia’s camera lens. Truly, her talent is unmatched. But her peerless skill as a photographer is only part of the reason you should hire her. With Kamelia, you get more than a photographer; you get a wedding planner, a sympathetic soul, a wedding day drill sergeant who keeps everything and everyone on track, a genuine advocate for her couples, and a friend. I promise, give Wild Hearts your business. You will be making one of the best decisions you could make for your event or moment. Thank you to Kamelia and Chris for making our wedding day such a serene, easy event and for capturing our love in such a beautiful, elegant fashion. You have given us memories we will cherish forever. We are eternally grateful.

If you are looking to have a wedding where your guests do not leave the dance floor the entire night - look no further because JB Pro Live is who you need!! Our DJ, Jan, absolutely exceeded all expectations we had as a DJ for our wedding day. When we met with him before the wedding, we gave him a few of our favorite songs but told him to use his discretion as what was most important to us was having everyone dancing and enjoying themselves. WELL, did he know what he was doing!!! Our dance floor was filled the ENTIRE NIGHT. We had 220 guests at our wedding, and 0 of them were sitting. We have guests who didn't even know we had a photo booth or voicemail booth because they truly did not leave the dance floor one time to look around. Jan reads the room perfectly and truly has a niche for knowing what people like to hear. Our MC Matt was also so great! He helped keep the night on track and made sure we were enjoying ourselves the entire time. He was fun, entertaining, and kept the vibes going! We have had 10 guests ask for our DJs information so they can book him for their own wedding because he really was just that good. After just the first dance set alone, our guests were excited and ready to party because he set the tone perfectly! We also booked a saxophonist through JPBRO as well as a dry ice machine, indoor firework fountains, and the snow effect and they were all perfect! The snow was by far the best addition! It was practically real snow (way better than what we were expecting) and all of our guests went crazy over it! The saxophonist was also a great touch and played practically every song throughout the night which our guests loved! And of course the dry ice machine and indoor firework fountains looked so great in our wedding pictures! Request Jan as your DJ- he is worth every penny and you will not regret it!!! He is absolutely a pro at what he does and you can guarantee that with him, not only will you have the best night of your life, but your guests will as well!

Ashley and her team helped make our day perfect. They made sure all my decor was setup beautifully, including some 100 candles between the ceremony and reception, and everything ran smoothly. If anything went wrong, I have no idea what it is. Ashley also did my flowers, not only was it one less thing for me to worry about, since she and her team would be there anyway making everything look right, but the flowers were perfect!

Bryanna was kind and professional from beginning to end. After our trial appointment, I unfortunately ended up losing my hair due to alopecia. I asked Bryanna if she would be able to style a wig. She did some research and agreed to do it even though she had never done it before. My bridal hair came out so beautifully. I couldn't have asked for more kindness, talent, and professionalism.

Gab and her team were so easy to work with and so professional. She was so organized that we were done early! All of my bridesmaids were different skin tones, types, and requested different makeup styles. Everyone was flawless and stayed that way all night. As the bride, she made sure to take care of and pamper me to keep me calm and enjoying the process. I barely felt like I was wearing makeup and she nailed exactly what I was looking for. Would certainly recommend and work with her again! I am so thankful to have had her on such an important day.
