Purslane is probably one of the first caterers I worked with when I started my wedding planning business, and 6 years later, our relationship is still going strong! Their food is incredible, their staff is so professional, and they are a dream to work with on the planning side. I also have to give them MAJOR credit for being a zero waste caterer. The work that they do in the name of sustainability is inspiring and I always recommend them to my couples looking to lessen the environmental impact of their weddings. I cannot say enough great things about Purslane!

Awarded Best of Zola
We booked Collins Entertainment for our October wedding at the Interlaken Inn in Lakeville, CT. We had an unbelievably amazing experience with this company from the top to the bottom. Our DJ, Jared, was exceptional with music selection, a master emcee, was accommodating and seemed to be everywhere at once. My guests left saying he was the best DJ they've ever seen at a wedding for how many hits he put out. He was able to read the crowd really well, and knew how to get everyone on the dance floor. Jared had battery-powered setups for both the ceremony and reception, so we didn't have to worry about outlets in a remote area outdoors, which was very nice. Our planning sessions with Jim, Mitch, and Jared were comprehensive and they gave us all the tools we needed to succeed. The package price was very reasonable too, and was a leading factor for why we chose them as well. We used their mirror photo booth as well, which was very fun. The mirror booth even came with a long red carpet! The operator, Randall, was very accommodating and helpful with guests, making it fun and easy for everyone. We highly recommend Collins Entertainment!

  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Astoria, NY

When I first started wedding photography, I made a goal of being more than just the photographer on your big day. I made it my goal to be your friend, someone you can crack inside jokes with, and someone who isn't afraid to get down + have fun at the reception (while still doing her job). I made it my goal to capture more than just photos, but an experience. Whether it’s high in the mountains, on a beach near the ocean, in a forest meadow - you deserve to get married however you want to & I want to capture it for you.

L & L Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding day. Lexi, one of the photographers, was incredibly effective and charismatic in her communication style, making the experience fun and easy. She was patient in answering all our questions and ensuring every moment was captured beautifully. The quality of their work is truly top tier, and their services are very affordable, making them a tremendous value. Lexi rocked every single moment, seamlessly blending into the celebration and creating absolute magic with her moody, romantic photography style. I've worked with many photographers, and Lexi is now my go-to - I cannot recommend L & L Photography highly enough.

Rosehip Social Florist 

5.0

  • Florist
  • Starts at $150 per arrangement
  • Serves Astoria, NY

All of us here at Rosehip have been influenced by a lifelong love of nature and gardening, anything blooming and leaves of all types. We love what we do, and we love how flowers can bring so much joy and happiness to any space. Even something as simple as a small bud vase. We’ve been growing and working hard. Our lovely and amazingly hard working crew has been studying, building and even becoming arial scissor lift certified, so that we can hang greenery and flower installations from any ceiling and beam! True love of flowers and plants has led us to this life, and we can’t wait to share this passion with you! Come by, say hi!

Rosehip Social did my florals for my November 2024 wedding at the Wythe Hotel and WOW did they deliver! When I'd booked with them the year prior based on photos of their work I'd seen, I had just provided a general vibe and color scheme and trusted them to do their thing. A few weeks before the wedding I visited their shop for a table scape preview and we were able to go through specific flower types and colors and finalize some details. I ultimately ended up giving them some general guidances-- include yellows, oranges, and whites, not too fall-inspired, retro feel, tons of baby's breath-- and then let them do their thing. We ended up including a full floral ceiling installation which made the space feel magical. Everything from our bouquets to boutineers, to table scapes were expertly crafted and could've been from the fanciest celebrity wedding out there. The team was collaborative and helpful around making my budget stretch, moving pieces around the venue at different times of the night, and working with the venue's install team. Lauren and Pola from Rosehip are complete professionals and worth the premium if you want the most gorgeous florals in town. I will 100% be recommending Rosehip to friends and would book them again in a heartbeat!

The cake was delicious, with each tier having its own flavor like strawberries and cream and Oreo. The two additional tres leches cakes were also terrific, and my guests were very happy.

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Jarrod did an amazing job on our wedding day! We were so very grateful to have him there with us.

I began my career a decade ago. As a tour photographer, I began accompanying musicians all over the world. Little did I know at that point the low lights, high energy, and late nights would translate well into my career as a wedding photographer. My start as a music photographer gave me the confidence to navigate even the most challenging and unpredictable situations, and I use the same philosophy now while photographing weddings: keep calm, stay observant, and follow the action.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very first wedding that Jess and I worked together, I knew I had found "the one." Photographing alongside other artists typically comes with some growing pains, however working with Jess was effortless from the beginning. She has a talent, creative eye, and sensitivity that is unparalleled. Her ability to create beautiful images while gracefully navigating complex dynamics and stressful moments on a wedding day makes her a magician in my eyes. I continue to learn something from her every time we're together. Highly recommend.

Hi, I'm Elle! I'm passionate about capturing feelings through film, and I feel so honored any time I have the opportunity to do so in the context of a wedding or elopement. I grew up in the woods of Washington State but now call NYC home. My background is in music videos and narrative filmmaking, but I've also worked as an illustrator.

We truly cannot say enough great things about Elle!! Not only did she make us the wedding video of our absolute dreams, but she was literally the easiest to coordinate with, was so flexible with our one million Covid wedding changes, and was the sweetest through it all. We are so thankful to have had her capture our wedding in the perfect way. From the initial coffee meet up, to the wedding day, Elle was a pleasure to work with!

  • Serves Astoria, NY

Meaghan here - I’m the one from which you’ll hear a lot of “Fuck yeah!!!” and “You guys look so hot!” My inspiration comes from our lord and savior, Janis Joplin, and my style is free movement and honesty. Howdy! I'm Brendon, a quiet Mid-Westerner turned East-Coast loud-mouth who happens to have a knack for photography, editing, graphic illustration, and all things creative. My background comes from shooting fashion shows and exclusive events for BFA.com around NYC, which made me appreciate the avant-garde.

We had a terrific experience working with Meaghan and Brendon of “Far Out Feeling.” If you’ve made it this far, you already love their style – their ability to capture both candid and staged photos artfully – and we are happy to report that the photographers have personalities to match. We loved meeting them for drinks months in advance of our wedding, which gave us a nice context for one another when the day finally came (we cannot imagine, now, not knowing our wedding photographers when they arrived to take pictures of us!) We perhaps didn’t consider how crucial this feeling of comfort was, but when you think about, you do spend a tremendous portion of your wedding day with your photographers. Meaghan and Brendon felt like friends, which made even the parts of the wedding that we don’t like (posing!) feel easy, natural, and fun. Meaghan and Brendon were incredibly responsive, from first to last. They always got back to us the day we had a question, and even weeks after our wedding, they were responding to our technical difficulties within minutes. And the photos themselves turned out great! Again, you’ve probably seen evidence of this already. We cannot wait to print them, frame them, and, in all likelihood, post them relentlessly to our Instagram stories. A huge thank you to Meaghan and Brendon, who we recommend whole-heartedly.

After fifteen years in theatre and television production, Kate O’Donnell Diaz discovered a love for planning events but wanted to do so with a different approach from what other planners were taking. Kate desired to help couples cultivate weddings that truly reflected them and not just what bridal magazines, their future mother-in-law or high school frenemy said they just HAD to do. The literal and financial waste she witnessed going into weddings because of something “someone” said the couple HAD to have made Kate feel incredibly uncomfortable. Kate saw a need for a more eco-friendly approach to event planning.

Hot 8 Brass Band is a 2022 Grammy-winning New Orleans based brass band, whose sound draws on the traditional jazz heritage of New Orleans, alongside more modern styles including elements of funk, hip hop, rap, and its local variation, “bounce.” Transcending genres and trends, Hot 8 have performed & collaborated with the likes of Jon Batiste, Blind Boys of Alabama, Basement Jaxx, Alice Russell and George Ezra, provided live support for Mos Def, Lauryn Hill & Mary J Blige. Our 2nd album ‘The Life and Times Of...’ was nominated for a Grammy in 2013 and won a Grammy in 2022 for our work on ‘Album of the Year’ winner, Jon Batiste’s ‘WE ARE’.

If you are looking for an unforgettable addition to your wedding or private event, look no further than Hot 8 Brass Band. I first heard them perform at a concert in New Orleans. When my then-fiance and I decided we were going to get married in New Orleans, they were my first choice as performers. We're not from New Orleans and neither were the majority of our guests. We knew that if we were going to introduce the idea of a second line, we had to get it right. Hot 8 delivered! Right after our cocktail hour, guests were offered champagne and invited to line-up. As we made our way down historic St. Charles Avenue, Hot 8 played a medley of Teddy Pendergrass, Tems, Frankie Beverly and Maze, Bill Withers and more. Folks went crazy. After we returned to the venue, they went into an hourlong set that kept the dancefloor full. Even I popped up a few times to dance underneath the stars, with our stars! We're a month out and our guests, who were a range of ages and races, still can't stop raving about this band. If you want to ensure your guests have an out-of-this-world experience that they won't soon forget, make sure you book the Hot 8 Brass Band.

Mikkel Paige Photography doesn't simply take photos - she creates them. She'll laugh and joke with you to get those smiles going to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera so you’re free to be yourselves. Her vibrant photos resonate with couples who gravitate towards color and the details. Mikkel is an avid traveler and will go any distance to capture love and work with fun-loving couples, from the Caribbean, to California, Walt Disney World, Norway and beyond.

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I decided to hire Mikkel because of the beautiful photos taken at my wife’s sister’s wedding! The glowing reviews she has from her past clients couldn’t be more true. Mikkel is professional, organized, compassionate, and treats you as if you were her own sister/family member. She truly cares about the couple’s experience and takes that into account from the moment you have your initial meeting with her. My wife and I were worried about being awkward in front of the camera, but mikkel put us at ease and made the entire process fun, guiding us to be ourselves and encouraging us to get lost in the moment! During the twists and turns of our wedding weekend, Mikkel never showed a sign of concern (regarding the tropical storm headed our way), but always stayed positive, assuring us that we would have the most beautiful memories no matter the weather! We can’t recommend mikkel enough! She is an immeasurable addition to your wedding day experience and will leave you with stunning and lasting memories to enjoy for the rest of your life!

The floral design studio and special events company, located in Garden City Park has been creating imaginative and elegant floral arrangements for sophisticated and demanding clientele for over twenty years.

We cannot ever thank Pedestals enough for how beautiful everything turned out for our wedding. Everyone could not stop complimenting the floral arrangements!! It was perfect from bouquets to each centerpiece and our arch. I came to Sandy without a true vision of florals and had no idea what I was doing. She turned my mismatched thoughts into perfection and a dream come true. I had the centerpieces repurposed into bouquets for guests to take home & everyone absolutely loved that they were able to take some of the gorgeous flowers home with them. It was beautiful and perfect but it would not have been that way without our florals from Pedestals!! 2 weeks later and people are STILL telling us they were the most beautiful florals at a wedding!!! You will not be disappointed!

Jura is a floral studio based in Brooklyn, New York focusing on the natural, whimsical, and intuitive design with flowers, plants, and other elements found in nature. Our studio prioritizes sourcing local flowers, sustainable resources, and is foam free.

Awarded Best of Zola
I found Jura through Instagram, where all of her arrangements were not only beautiful, but felt organic, interesting and creative. After meeting with Migle, the owner of Jura, I was excited to support a newer small business like Migle's. She has had plenty of experience within the event/florist industry prior to starting her own business. She put together a quote that was very reasonable. In the month leading up to our wedding date, I met with Migle to finalize our design ideas. She included an update with specific flowers and art inspiration the week leading up to the event, and we emailed back-and-forth to finalize a couple small details prior to the event. All of the florals, from the bouquets (to color match the bridesmaids' dresses!), the centerpieces, the bar installation, fireplace installation-wow!!- words can't describe how beautiful they were and how they were exactly what I was hoping for and more! I'm so happy and grateful Jura was a part of our day at the Bowery Hotel. Migle's artistry and talent is truly so special. I HIGHLY recommend Jura and their team!

Valerie Barnes Film

  • Videographer
  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Astoria, NY

I wish I had my parents' wedding day captured on film. I would have loved to see how they interacted with each other on the day they celebrated their union. How nervous with excitement they were when they spoke their vows; how they arrived to the church; the look on my grandfather's face as he walked my mother down the aisle. ​ Moments such as these are valuable family histories because as generations move along, memories of past events evaporate. This is why wedding films are important and why I love creating them.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot recommend Valerie and her team more! From day one she was invested in our vision and walked us through the process of how the day would go. She was kind and supportive, she listened to what we wanted and the end product was perfect! Valerie and her team are very professional and their work stands out among other videographers, which is why we decided to go with her company. She was quick to respond to emails and was willing to make any changes necessary that we requested. You will not be disappointed if you book her as your wedding videographer!!

  • Serves Astoria, NY

Dawn has been producing creative events in New York and California for over 15 years. You’ll most often catch this bi-coastal party maker biking around Greenpoint, BK or in her home state of California loading up on burritos and baseball games.

As a photographer who has documented over 300 weddings, I have worked with my fair share of planners - and there is nobody I get more excited to work with than Dawn and her extraordinary team. Not only does she do a SPECTACULAR job creating fun, interesting, and cool custom designs while also managing all of her clients’ needs, she also is so on top of managing all her fellow vendors respectfully and effectively. She has always been the best in Brooklyn (that’s why she is on almost every preferred vendor list in town!!!) and now that she is bicoastal in LA, too, she gets to expand her absolutely amazing business - but also that means you should book her ASAP before somebody else nabs her.

Clean Plate Pictures began when Erica Beckman left her fancy Photo Editor job at The Wall Street Journal to photograph happy couples full-time - guess what? Weddings are way more fun. Erica earned her degree in photography and uses her twenty years of experience in the industry to bring exacting editorial standards and creative excellence to all her work. Her documentary style captures genuine emotions and artfully records events as they unfold organically.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we booked Clean Plate Pictures, we were impressed with their communication and responsiveness. Erica was always open to our suggestions and worked closely with us to ensure they captured our day perfectly. Her impeccable attention to detail and great eye for the perfect shot were evident in every photo. She was able to herd our many relatives to make the family shoot less stressful, and even made the slightly janky Hyatt Place look elegant in the getting-ready photos. Erica was so friendly and had a strong expertise on the best shots for our venue. We were thrilled that Erica was willing to travel to New York City to shoot our engagement photos as well. We absolutely loved working with Erica (and Elle the second shoot, a dream!) and would highly recommend Clean Plate Pictures to any couple looking for professional, talented, and personable wedding photographers.

Craig James Video

  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Serves Astoria, NY

The first time I picked up a video camera I was 10 years old making home movies in my basement with friends. Today, I enjoy capturing everything from weddings to overseas adventures while still having that excitement of storytelling I had when I was a kid. I create timeless wedding videos by capturing the experience of marriage in an authentic way. My videos are inspired by real moments, emotions and people.

Craig is precious! He’s personable yet professional, creative, detail oriented, and the final result is amazing! We initially met at Starbucks to discuss everything and we instantly clicked feeling like we’ve been friends for a long time. He takes notes of the bride and groom preferences/personalities to get a feel for what you’re all about and somehow it translates into his work! During the big day, he is timely, presents well, and teams up with the photographer! He gets in all the little details from various angles and perspectives. Even at times Craig fades into the background which enables capturing the most natural moments. Since our church didn’t allow our vows to be read during the ceremony, he had the great idea to record us at the end of the night with his light set up and disguised microphones! He is willing to work long hours to make sure he gets everything for the film. Hands down he is awesome and would highly recommend!
