Floral Eden is an East Coast floral décor and production company creating weddings and events that feel beautiful, intentional, and completely personal. We handle everything from personal flowers and centerpieces to ceremony installations, reception décor, styling, setup, repurposing, and breakdown. Our goal is to make the whole space feel connected, not like a bunch of separate floral pieces. We love taking a couple’s ideas, Pinterest boards, random screenshots, and “I don’t really know how to explain it” moments and turning them into something that actually feels like them.

“The Floral Eden brought our wedding vision to life in ways we didn't even expect. From our first conversation, the team responded to every question and concern right away, and they truly understood what we wanted for our big day. They created the most stunning centerpieces that sat on each table, and candles were placed throughout the venue to set the perfect mood. When we walked into our reception, the combination of florals and candlelight made everything feel absolutely magical and romantic. The quality of their work was exceptional, and we felt like we got incredible value for what they delivered. We can't recommend The Floral Eden highly enough to any couple planning their wedding.”

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.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our wedding! Kevin was the first officiant we met with, and we knew right away that he was the right choice. He did such an amazing job making our ceremony feel incredibly personal and meaningful. So many of our guests told us afterward that it was one of the best wedding ceremonies they had ever attended. We even had multiple people ask us how we knew him because the ceremony felt so personal that they assumed he must have known us for years! He made everything feel completely unique to us and told our story in such a natural, genuine way. It was heartfelt, personal, and still had the perfect amount of humor. We’re so grateful for how special he made our ceremony and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant!”

I’m Madalina, a wedding photographer based in Miami and the Jersey Shore, but I’ll happily follow love wherever it takes me. I’ve always been drawn to the quiet, meaningful moments: the way your partner looks at you when you’re not looking, the hug from your mom that lasts a little longer, the feeling of joy that hangs in the air. My approach is calm, intentional, and heartfelt. I want your photos to feel like you: beautiful, honest, and full of soul.

“From my first conversation with Madalina Photographer, I knew I had found the right fit for our engagement photos. She responded quickly to all of my questions and kept everything straightforward and upbeat throughout the planning process. When weather threatened to derail our surprise proposal, Madalina didn't hesitate to shift the timing and even offered smart suggestions on when the light would look best. During our shoot, she made us feel at ease with her guidance on poses and encouraged us to be ourselves, capturing both posed shots and genuine candid moments that we'll treasure. Her turnaround time for the edited photos was impressively fast, and the quality of every image exceeded what we were hoping for. I would highly recommend Madalina for anyone looking for engagement photography.”

“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.”

What started as a side business in 2015 became my full-time dream in 2022, and I thank God daily that I get to serve amazing couples through my work.

From the moment she arrived, she was a genuine, supportive presence who made me feel effortlessly beautiful the whole day. She isn’t just talented behind the lens; she is incredibly sweet and kind, which made a world of difference for my confidence. Beyond the photos, she was a total pro to work with. She recommended several of my other vendors and collaborated seamlessly with everyone on our team. If I could hire her 100 times over, I would in a heartbeat. If you want a photographer who truly cares about how you feel as much as how you look, book Shay immediately!”

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. Our work is rooted in respect, compassion, and equality—because love does not look one way, and it does not belong to only some. We are honored to document love stories in all their forms and to create space where every couple feels welcomed, supported, and genuinely celebrated.

“To say I love my photographer would be an understatement. Our special day was thrown together in 6 weeks, but you couldn’t tell by looking at our pictures. Lauren took the time to speak with me about the moments that were most important to me, and why. After explaining to her that my father had cancer and his diagnosis was a big part of our rush, she made it her mission to capture every smile every tear every dance and every look my husband and I shared, and my father shared with everyone in attendance, especially me. She set up the first look between my husband son and I, she understood my vision and my need to be different, her artistic eye and attention to detail turned a broken down roadside stand into the perfect fall/Halloween backdrop for our first look. When it came time for my father to see me, before our guest, she set him up, back turned and captured every smile, and every tear he and shared in that moment. She created memories for myself, my husband and our family, and froze them in time with pictures that I will always treasure, and I couldn’t be happier and anymore grateful for how much love and dedication she poured into making sure our special day and every moment of it was captured”

My daughter keeps telling me she can’t believe how magical it looks, and honestly I can’t either. The editing was soft and beautiful, not fake or too heavy handed. I’ve watched it more times than I probably should admit. I am SO thankful we had them, it was one of the best investments of the whole wedding.”

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.

My husband and I are not typically in front of a camera, but Mark made us instantly comfortable in a way that allowed him to truly capture the moment between us instead of feeling like models posing for a job. We had a small wedding with no formal wedding planner or runner for the day, but Brittany and Mark helped everything to go smoothly, and we truly couldn’t have done it without them. Beyond all that, the images are truly breathtaking. Mark has an intrinsic ability to scan a space and find the most beautiful piece of it. I have never seen the inside of a train station look so magical! If you choose This Insane Idea for your special day, you will not be disappointed!”

Wild Hearts NJ

  • Photographer

  • Starts at $4,300
  • Serves Whiting, NJ

My love for photography was born when I picked up a camera and started shooting street photography as a hobby. This hobby quickly took over my entire life! Thankfully, combined with my editing and retouching skills, I was able to turn my passion into a career. Owning and running Wild Hearts has been the one of my greatest joys! 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!”
