Thank you Lauren!

Lavka Flowers 

5.0

  • Florist
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Arverne, NY

Katya Rusin established Lavka Flowers with the singular goal of revisioning the sentiment and enjoyment of what was once a humble act; the giving and accepting of flowers. As the lead designer, Katya is inspired most by art and it's a visual quality that connects people. She translates this visual quality through the use of color to transform individual flowers into a collective whole. Katya achieves her designs by utilizing the elements of design with an appreciation for texture.

I recently had the pleasure of working with wedding florist Katya Rusin from Lavka Flowers, and I cannot express enough how delighted I am with her exceptional service. From the initial consultation to the day of the event, Katya demonstrated a level of expertise and professionalism that truly set her apart. The flowers provided by Katya were nothing short of spectacular. Each arrangement was not only beautiful but also incredibly fresh, surpassing my expectations. Katya not only understood my vision but went above and beyond to deliver a result that exceeded my desires. Her attention to detail and commitment to perfection were evident in every petal. Katya's responsiveness and extensive knowledge about flowers and design made the entire process seamless. She was not only a skilled florist but also a delicate and intuitive professional who seemed to understand exactly what we needed. Her ability to interpret our preferences and turn them into stunning floral arrangements showcased her artistic flair and passion for her craft. One of the standout moments was during the wedding day when unexpected challenges arose. Despite the crazy wind, our Chuppah was set up outside. Katya and her team handled the situation with such expertise that we didn't have to worry about a thing. The Chuppah remained steadfast throughout the entire wedding night, a testament to Katya's meticulous planning and execution. I recommend Katya Rusin to anyone in search of an amazing and reliable wedding florist. Her talent, knowledge, and dedication ensure that your special day is adorned with the most exquisite floral arrangements. Trust Katya for your wedding, and you'll undoubtedly experience the same level of satisfaction and joy that I did.

I’m not just a photographer; I’m your insider, offering expert recommendations to make your special day truly unforgettable. My passion for preserving love stories is the driving force behind every image I create.

Before I even thought about a shot, they were already taking it. It didn't feel cheesy and they were so fun to work with. Susan was very patient and kind with me too whenever we did pre-wedding calls and I was an utter mess trying to plan everything.

Awarded Best of Zola
The food for the wedding was even better than the tasting! It was so good and everyone that attended was super impressed. My only note is that we missed some of the cocktail hour food and dessert during the wedding - I think the day-of coordinator could have been better catering to us knowing how busy we were during the wedding. As long as all of this is explicitly planned in detail ahead of time it should be fine!

  • Serves Arverne, NY

We have been performing as a band since 2003, when Jordan Shapiro formed the band with some close musician friends in Brooklyn, NY. Since then, the band has performed at hundreds and hundreds of concerts, weddings, festivals, parties, kids birthday parties, and various other kinds of family oriented events. We have an extensive songlist of over 300 songs, drawing from all styles of music, including traditional folk/bluegrass, as well as classic rock, pop, jazz and country. The band has also released 3 full length albums of original music, ranging from progressive bluegrass/newgrass instrumentals to goofy kids songs.

Awarded Best of Zola
All of our guests commented that the music at our wedding was lovely and really tied the whole event together. Our venue did not allow DJ's or amplified sound and Astrograss had no problem playing everything acoustically. They were really great communicating before our event. They learned 5 songs at our request and let us pick plenty others for them to play from their extensive repertoire. They even coordinated with our friend (who is a singer) who wanted to sing something for us which ended up being one of the highlights of the night.

Makeup Masters 

4.7

  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 64
  • Serves Arverne, NY

I have always had a love affair with makeup, as well as the opportunity to teach and share my passion for makeup. This is why I created Makeup Masters. After being in the beauty industry for over 25 years, and having the opportunity to work with the most talented artist in the industry, my vision was to create a service with these artists, utilizing their talents, and make them available for all women. Makeup Masters believes in bringing out the individual beauty in every woman. Building self-esteem and confidence with the right hair-styling and make-up application, so you feel your most beautiful for any occasion.

I was looking for a makeup & hair artist at a more comfortable price and Makeup Masters fit the description. Scott was super helpful with the information and payments were made easy through PayPal. The hair artist that we got was super professional and helped my bridesmaids well. Since it was raining outside the hair stylist did great to make sure no one’s hair would look bad from the humidity. However, the makeup artist doesn’t deserve so much stars, she came an hour plus late. And while she was late she also took long with the girls knowing the time frame to be ready was at 1130, and she still had two girls left (& it was 10am).

Hello my name is Tony Mancuso. I am a DJ/Entertainer. I have spent half my life making people happy out on a dance floor. I love music and I love the way music makes people feel. You are hiring me to DJ the biggest day of your life and that is a responsibility I do not take lightly. My Philosophy is simple...I Work For You! MY # 1 priority is to make your event amazing from start to finish...No Exceptions! Together we will create a playlist for your day that represents your unique tastes and one that will provide the most enjoyment for you and your guests. Your love is unique...so should be your Wedding Day.

Awarded Best of Zola
You won’t regret hiring Tony and Platinum Entertainment, but you will regret not hiring them. Your DJ/MC is one of the most if not the most important vendor that you will book for your wedding. I didn’t believe it until I saw it, but it’s true. Tony was recommended to us by our wedding photographer, Hannah of Hannah Lux Photography. We set up a video call ASAP and after the first few moments, knew he was the right person for our wedding. It was evident very quickly that Tony is beyond passionate about what he does. Throughout the planning process, Tony guided us through everything we needed, made recommendations, and not only tolerated but encouraged my many Taylor Swift requests (or demands). Our wedding was less than 60 people including my husband and I. With such an intimate wedding, we were nervous for a while leading up to the event that people wouldn’t dance, or might even treat it more like a dinner party than a wedding. We were so wrong! The dance floor went ALL NIGHT because of Tony. Friends and family members that I have never seen dance, on the dance floor for our ENTIRE reception having the time of their lives. Our guests RAVED about our DJ all night and I can’t think of a day that’s passed yet that someone hasn’t mentioned how great he was. Tony is more than a DJ or an MC, Tony is a professional, an expert in his craft, a talented and creative individual, and a genuine, true person and friend. We can’t thank him enough for what he did for us.

Sam Hurd Photography

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style

My style is distinct, a result of both my unrelenting commitment to my craft and complete trust from clients who commission me. You’re not going to read about any awards, badges, or “top 10 lists” because what matters is you’re in love with the work that you see and are ready to trust me entirely to do what I do. This trust drives me to find the perfect balance between creative experimentation and honest documentation.

All I knew was that I was marrying my fiancé and that Sam was going to be our photographer. I didn’t care about anything else except that he was our photographer. The engagement session was so much fun! The day of the wedding was unbelievable. He’s so calm and professional. He answered all of my questions throughout the process quickly without getting frustrated. Lastly, his work is is just AMAZING! Highly recommend if you love bright colorful unique photos.

In an age of algorithms, hashtags, and followers photography has taught Alex the true importance of the human connection. To him, photography is more than composing a beautiful shot or finding the best light. It’s about finding moments that shares with the viewer a special insight into the couples, the friends, that he has the privilege to document. He strives to capture feelings and emotions that take people back to special moments worth remembering for generations to come.

Alex and his team were phenomenal. My wife and I just got back from visiting family for the holidays and they are still talking about how much they loved Alex and his team. Alex, Vlad and the team drove to upstate NY to capture our day! Since my wife and I live in NC, we had not met Alex before our wedding day but that was not an issue at all because he arrived early to learn who was in our family and bridal party. This allowed him to get all of our must-have pictures. Even though our day has passed, Alex continues to be extremely responsive. On Christmas, we were having difficulty accessing our video to show to family so we email Alex, not expecting a response...it was Christmas day. Within 5 minutes Alex responded with our video links so that we could share with family. Many of our friends have gotten engaged in the last several weeks and we are recommending Alex to all of them.

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Arverne, NY

I'm just an 80's born, 90's raised millennial photographer who wants to shoot passionate couples and have his avocado toast too. My approach to photography is journalistic, directed not posed. My approach to a wedding day is calm, attentive, easy-going, non-intrusive without being awkwardly shy, and always with a smile.

While I'm not a client of Hector's, I am a fellow wedding vendor (videographer) and there is no photographer I prefer working with over Hector. His energy is calming and easy-going, but he always makes sure we BOTH get what we need. Instead of fighting against each other to get our shots, we work so well together it actually enhances our footage. He's organized, straight-forward and attentive. Plus, he travels all over! 10/10 would recommend :)

Relive the moments as you experienced them. When it comes to your wedding, what are you most excited about? The ceremony? Dancing the night away with family and friends? Indulging in the emotion of the day? The photos are important so you can relive each memorable moment. But the moments are only memorable if you take the time to experience them in the first place. This way, you'll not only experience the moments of your wedding day - you'll remember them well. Who better to photograph your experiences than a husband and wife team who understands the importance of this day. And the moments that shape it.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ishan and Preeti are incredible people and artists. So talented, creative, artistic, fun and affordable. No cheesy typical wedding photos here! Our pictures are one of a kind. For our engagement photos, Ishan and Preeti were willing to drive aroubd local towns and take photos at numerous locations that meant something special to us. They are so creative with light and texture and are daring to go anywhere. And then our wedding day..Oh My Goodness. I have never seen such beautiful photos. We got married in Montauk, NY and after our first look, we went out by the lighthouse and took photos over the bluffs. They are INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!! We got married at a yacht club and we had mentioned to Ishan how we would love a photo on a big yacht. He again rose to the occasion. We found friendly boat owners who let us board their yacht and Ishan got photos of us opening champagne and drone photos of us lying on the bow. He thinks on his feet and comes up with awesome photos in any circumstance. Ishan Fotografi really captured the highlights of the wedding perfectly. The photos were available by the time we were back from our honeymoon. We just received our album, which is not only breathtaking, but really tells the story of the wedding day.

Celebrating the wholeness of life and the perfection of love I truly ask you to "stay gold"! My beautiful clients are couples of all genders, orientation, and identities who have found each other and want this moment in time captured in heirloom quality. We leave the churches and the hotels and venture into wild world, up the mountains, to the islands, into the forests, and out into the deserts. Stay Gold Tyler delivers stunning portraits, family heirloom formals, and b-roll candids that will have you laughing and "aww"ing for a lifetime. Tyler splits time between South Florida, New York City, and Seattle.

We got married in the Hoh Rainforest in the Olympic National Park in Washington state. We chose Tyler because we hadn't been to the location before, and he was from the area. He guided us through the entire process, helping us find a beautiful place for the ceremony in the rainforest, and provided clear directions for getting there (it's 4 hours from the city, deep in the national park). He managed to keep us laughing even when it started raining. My husband and I can be awkward in formal photos, but Tyler helped us feel comfortable the entire day, and the results were absolutely stunning!

You know those first few months that you fall in love & everything is so wonderful & terrifying & just so damn GOOD? It's that “new love” feeling & I’ve never been able to replicate that feeling with anything else, except photography. Your wedding day tells the story of your love. From that “new love” to the more comfortable kind, it is the culmination of all those moments leading up to “I do.” I consider myself the narrator of that day, telling that story and documenting your connection through my photographs.

We highly recommend JENNY for any photo needs. She’s amazingly detailed and makes you feel like she’s your best friend. We were both nervous for our engagement shoot and she made it a breeze! 15/10 would recommend!

This was the best day of my life and the best part of our day was Teryn flying into Las Vegas to shoot our Elvis elopement. The photography is seriously the best wedding photos I’ve ever seen! Make sure you check them out on there instagram. Her energy is so amazing and she made us both feel so comfortable and natural. Her and her husband are both incredible people and totally out of this world creative artists. A few months later we got married again in Brooklyn and threw a big party for family and friends and her husband Dakota shot that party and the photos are incredible and he was so lovely to be around and made us feel so comfortable, we got married at the Brooklyn Night Bazaar and he out did himself with the amount of photos we got and how artistic and cool they look!

I'm Alex. I spend my free time with my husband and our dogs Conor & Belle. I'm lucky to live in the Hudson Valley surrounded by amazing nature and upstate lifestyle. Art is something that I fell in love with at a young age and has always carried me through life- it lead me to photography. The mixture of art and emotion is one of the things I love most about wedding photography. When you look through your collection of photos I want you to feel and see the emotion, love and fun you had on your best day ever.

Alex is AMAZING. Her photos left us in awe — I was so impressed by how she listened to my vision and adapted her style accordingly. Most of all, though, Alex excels in all things related to running a business — she’s prompt in email responses, professional with her contracts and payment process, and goes above and beyond to connect you with resources for a successful day (a last minute coordinator, in my case). This is what really sets her apart from other vendors in my opinion. Run, don’t walk, to hire Alex for your wedding!

LIAT (singer/songwriter) 

5.0

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Arverne, NY

With her earthy acoustics, dark melodies, and rich vocals, singer-songwriter Liat has been captivating live audiences for over fifteen years. After years of performing in the pulsing cities of Philadelphia and New York, Liat moved to Colorado, where she drew inspiration from the folk music of the mountains. Her music evokes her itinerant life and Israeli-American heritage— 90s’ pop-rock meets 60s’ folk with glints of Middle Eastern desert soundscapes. She spins guitar acoustics with her powerhouse vocals for lyrical “dark folk” sounds that linger long after a performance.

Liat performed for my college graduation party. She was punctual and ready to go with all her equipment. She not only has a beautiful voice but great energy. She was perfect for the intimate setting and also got the crowd up and dancing! It was so fun. It added a really nice element to the party. Love to book her for an another event!

With a day full of nothing but emotion, it’s easy for some moments to slip past unnoticed, but not by me. I’ll be there to make sure the heart of your day makes its way back to you — so you can remember what really mattered on your wedding day.

Zach and Madison were so fun to work with! They took my engagement photos, bridal portraits, and wedding photos. The photos could not have turned out better, and the delivery of each album was super quick. Also, the canvas and album that were included in our package were extremely high quality! We will most definitely be using the Greens for all of our future photography needs.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about having Jenn photograph our wedding day! Her and her husband, Mike, went above and beyond and exceeded all of our expectations by far. They were extremely organized and knew exactly what they were doing. They are very detail oriented and are great at capturing every aspect of your big day. Our wedding had to be moved inside due to inclement weather and they quickly adapted to the sudden change, which was such a relief for this slightly overwhelmed bride! We would HIGHLY recommend Jenn & will definitely be using her again!

An easy, enjoyable wedding with beautiful photos and videos captured is why you book with us! My team and I are easy going, can roll with whatever is thrown our way and like to have a good time with the couples we work with. It's not just about getting amazing shots, it's also about enjoying your day while getting those awesome memories captured!

Jason came recommended to us from a few people who responded to a Facebook post I made in one of our local groups. We are so, so glad we decided to go with him! We had a very small wedding at our house and hired Jason to come do just an hour-long shoot (for a very reasonable price) so we could have a handful of formal shots and a few of our ceremony. He arrived right on time and ready to go. He was super friendly, laid back and professional and actually made us both feel at ease (which is tough because I hate being in front of a camera!) Even though it's the height of wedding season, he had a few preview photos for us to see within three or four days and the rest of the photos were ready for us within about two weeks? Just an amazing turn-around time. And although I'm burying the lede here, the photos were outstanding. I didn't expect very much from just an hour-long shoot, but we had so many "favorites" we really had a tough time picking which ones we wanted to have printed! We wholeheartedly recommend him if you're looking for a wedding photographer!

Bo was both our engagement and wedding photographer and she’s honestly the best! Not only is she just an overall amazing photographer and person, but she really was one of the best vendors we got to work with throughout our whole wedding process. She’s soooo helpful and was always there to answer any questions that we had which made things so much more easy for us through all that wedding madness! She’s also so so sweet and made all of our photo shoots so much fun. Our engagement and wedding photos came out absolutely GORGEOUS!!! We had so many people reaching out to us about her services because they loved our photos too! If we could do it all over again, we would book her a million times over. We seriously can’t recommend her enough. You can tell she really cares about her clients and that she puts in the effort to actually get to know you as a couple outside of everything else. We’re so happy to have gotten the chance to work with her and we have no regrets!

Twah is pronounced as it’s spelled or like “3” in French. My boutique photography business is rooted in NYC but always ready to travel the world. As a former NYC Fashion Designer, I take my knowledge of style & weave it into my photography approach. I believe: 1. Your wedding day should not be spent in long posed formal photo sessions. 2. Personal details are an integral part of your day’s story. 3. Wedding images should be timeless yet stylishly current and natural. 3. Making the most of a rainy day or a mishap usually ends up being fun memories to look back on. 4. Beauty is within. Positivity radiates. Authenticity is perfection.

Twah is, first and foremost, an amazing artist. Add to that professionalism, a warm energy, a careful hand, planning and scouting prowess, mad technical skills, AND the ability to summon the sun... and you get the perfect photographer! Twah and Ryan captured both our sensational and our quiet moments, in several locations around the island, and weaved them together in her soft-yet-edgy style to tell our story. Our photos are stunning. We can’t recommend Twah enough!

Hi, I'm Jen -- a semi-awkward, nice person and a wedding photographer based out of the Catskills of New York. I am a huge fan of dogs. I love to tell stories -- even more so, I love to tell side stories, so rambling - I guess I just love rambling. I'm down to earth - easy going - and always intimated by writing descriptions about myself.

Awarded Best of Zola
There aren't enough words to explain working with Jen!!! A delight, organized, great attention to detail and knows her stuff! I'm always thrilled to have her on the team for our couples' wedding day. Jen is super down to earth, knows how to have a good laugh, and she truly cares about her couples. It's always a pleasure to work with her and I can't recommend her enough!

When I'm not shooting weddings, I’m a total beach bum. This might sound like an oxymoron coming from a native Montrealer, but I adore the ocean (and very much dislike winter). I swim and surf whenever possible, and I get out to the Rockaways as often as I can. I do a ton of beach photography, including a series about couples at the beach, and I’ve been published a few times, including here and here. If you see me at the beach, come say hi, and let’s have a frozen drink together.

Erica was a dream to work with! She captured my engagement and wedding photos so beautifully - I've gotten emotional and cried happy tears each time I've gone through our gallery of photos for the first time. I can't recommend Erica enough - she is thoughtful, professional, super talented, hardworking, and just an all-around great person. I'm so grateful I had the chance to work with her!
