Bridgewater Manor was an incredible venue for our wedding.

On the day of our wedding, Alyssa was extremely attentive and made sure I was ready for the ceremony, even helping to put my husband's boutonniere on correctly. I was very nervous right before walking down the aisle, but Alyssa was there to calm my nerves. Adele was also fantastic all night long - he made sure we had food and drinks during cocktail hour and was available to assist us with anything we needed. I never had to hesitate to ask Adele for help. The entire Bridgewater Manor team contributed to making our wedding day so special and stress-free. We are so grateful for their incredible service and attention to detail.

Franklin & Alison Music 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $7,501
  • Serves Avenel, NJ

Franklin & Alison Music In business for over 20 years. Not an agency, just one band to provide you with personal attention to detail and tailor the music to your needs and likes. I love to help couples pick out the songs for each wedding, everyone is different and we like to be creative.

I will just start by saying that hiring the Franklin & Alison Music Band was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding on 5/18/24 at the Atrium of Tenafly! We received so many compliments from all the guests for the quality of the live band we had; and to our joy, the dance floor was always brimming with people. We happened upon the band’s website via The Knot’s suggested music provider list and absolutely loved their sample videos, songs, pictures, and testimonials. From the get go, Laraine was a pleasure to work with - always clear, on point with her answers, considerate, personable, and compassionate. We spoke at length via several phone calls and email exchanges about our history as a couple and our music preferences and then we met in person to go over all the details and narrow down the list of our favorite songs, She paid close attention to the pronunciation of names, nailed the parent dance song suggestions and the timing of the different reception activities. Then Laraine, Keith and the band did an amazing job at compiling an extremely successful playlist customized to our wedding. Katrice’s voice is stunning and so versatile, Sam was the perfect host, Keith was just so fun to chat with, and everyone in the band was just phenomenal! We all had a blast and I couldn’t recommend Franklin & Alison Music highly enough! Hands down the best decision ever!

Olde Mill Inn

A charming, boutique hotel venue, the Olde Mill Inn offers an inviting backdrop for your big day! From the wall of French Doors leading from our Ballroom to the Courtyard and Gardens, to winding staircases and picturesque sitting rooms, there are countless spaces for you and your guests to enjoy. We are a true “Wedding Weekend” destination with hotel rooms and spaces to host your guests from Rehearsal Dinner straight through to your Post Nuptial Breakfast. Everything in between, from complimentary Bridal Lounge to After Party, is also available!

Where do I even begin? We got married at the Grain House at the Olde Mill Inn on May 23, 2024, and it was nothing short of perfect. The entire wedding planning process was made easy thanks to everyone at the Olde Mill Inn and Grain House. They are very responsive, which is crucial when planning a wedding. My grandmother and grandfather had their wedding reception here back in 1957, so I knew I wanted to meet with them to discuss having my wedding there. It was the first and only venue we met with. After going on a tour and discussing the different packages with Lea, I was sold. They take care of your accommodations, catering, bar, cake, tables, chairs, etc. My wedding planning “to-do” list was cut in half! Everyone is so accommodating and they really work with you to make sure your day goes perfectly. So many guests told us how they never experienced wedding food to this level. Everything was DELICIOUS! Better yet, we actually got to eat as the bride and groom. The property itself is gorgeous. John was our Matre d’ and he was the best! He made sure we stayed on time, he ran food from the cocktail hour to me and my husband when we were taking photos, and he coordinated with our vendors so we didn’t have to worry. His efforts did not go unnoticed. Once again I had guests come up to me and tell me how amazing he is. I also had guests reach out after to tell me it was the best wedding they have ever been to. All of our vendors were fantastic but the Old Mill Inn and Grain House really did the bulk of the work to make it an unforgettable experience. The hotel itself was wonderful to stay in, everything was so clean and the breakfast was delicious. I wouldn’t change a thing about my wedding day, everything was perfect and I really have the Old Mill Inn and the Grain House to thank for that. I would recommend the Old Mill Inn and the GrainHouse to anyone planning a wedding. It really is the ONLY choice in my opinion. You will not be disappointed.

Richel Diaz Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Avenel, NJ

Just a little bit weird. Usually the quiet one until I get around a smaller group of people. I cry easily at any emotional part of a movie, and I love all the tiny moments in life that truly make you feel alive. The smallest detail or fleeting moment is sometimes the most important thing or has the biggest impact, and that’s why I love photography. I get to capture the little things in life.

Awarded Best of Zola
Richel is an absolute gem!!! We booked with her 2 years ago via phone, and my husband and I said after that phone call, “she sounds so sweet and fun”, and that she is!! We officially met Richel at our engagement shoot at Laurita Winery and her energy did not disappoint. She knew exactly where the good lighting was and just made us feel comfortable. My bridesmaids surprised me with Richel meeting us at a winery for some pictures at my bachelorette party and I was in aw. Then for the wedding, her and her fiancé Steve were sooo much fun to work with! They followed our timeline, got so many good angles and just overall had a great time. Highly recommend.

And for those of you who are looking to add enhancements like Sparklers, LED Videowalls, Monograms, and Photobooths, Pure Event Group has you covered.

I can’t tell you how amazing Pure Event group was for our wedding. Not only was booking them and the communication seamless, but their performance that night was even better than I could have imagined. They had our guests on the dance floor all night! We really wanted the DJ to have the freedom to do his thing and only incorporate our must plays if and as he saw fit, he did is perfectly. I cannot tell you how impressed everyone of all ages was. I would like to add that their lighting package was perfect for our event to turn our cocktail space tent into a dance floor. I could not recommend this group enough. Our motto for booking a DJ over a band was, a band can’t play levels!! And I’m so glad we did!

My husband and I originally did not hire a videographer for our wedding. It wasn’t until 2 weeks before when I realized we would regret this decision. I found Sean through the NJ bride Facebook group page and it was the best decision we made! Sean responded quickly to my email and was available in such short notice for our big day. We officially ‘met’ him in person the day of our wedding and it was like we’ve known him throughout the whole process! He was professional, kind and recorded the best moments of the most special day of our lives. You won’t be disappointed with Sean as your videographer!

Montes Productions 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,195
  • Serves Avenel, NJ

Hi, my name Is Juan Montes, I knew from a very young age I wanted to be apart of the hospitality/night life industry. As I grew as a DJ in the clubs, bars & restaurants in NJ/NYC so did my musical knowledge and ability to read crowds. I was able to apply what I learned into my company, Montes Pro, and ever since I have never looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
After booking my venue, Montes Productions was the first vendor I booked. I did a lot of research and phone conferences with other DJs in NJ, all well known, for about weeks before deciding on Montes Productions. I was looking for someone who could go along with a “club” feel, but also incorporate a wide-range of music for my family. All the DJs I spoke to were pretty much the same, however, when I spoke to Juan…we just clicked. Montes Productions was recommended to me on the New Jersey Bridal Group on Facebook. Juan was probably the only vendor who I spoke with for 30 minutes about life and not just my wedding. He was super personable and was willing to work with my budget. I felt like I was speaking to a friend and not someone trying to sell. I booked with Montes Productions two years out, and Juan kept in contact with me for that entire time. He also worked with my husband and I a week before to go over all the small details for our wedding. Juan was very organized and knew his stuff for sure. I had a lot of little components to my wedding, and Juan helped me organize them! Which helped take a load off of my shoulders in the planning process. In addition, I’m very into Kpop and Juan took all my recommendations. I also booked a photobooth under Montes Productions and it was great. We chose the inflatable photo booth which was a big hit. Also, the guys who came with Juan were all wonderful. Montes Productions was fun, professional, and exceptional. The set-up on the wedding day was amazing, Juan even personalized signage to display on the screens that was definitely my aesthetic.. He also MC-ed the entire night and was a big hit with my friends and family. Juan is extremely well-spoken and has the best personality. I don’t know when I’ll ever have a big event like this again, but if I did, I would definitely hire Montes Productions again for a party!

Dear Heart Film + Portraits 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Avenel, NJ

I created Dear Heart Film + Portraits in college when I realized just how much I love photographing other people. It started with fun-loving seniors and now has developed into capturing adventurous couples who are so unashamedly in love.

We just had our wedding on 11/17/2023 and I cannot say enough amazing things about Shelby and her team who worked with us on our big day! From the very beginning Shelby was literally amazing, she is super supportive, kind, and organized. When we first got engaged, I talked with a few different photographers over email but Shelby was the only one I felt like matched our style, vibes, and her personality was also a great fit for us. When we did the intro zoom call, I felt like we were a great fit! My husband and I are more on the casual side of things for photography, never big fans of posing for the cameras but Shelby made us feel comfortable during our engagement session so I knew she was the right fit and I couldn’t wait for the wedding photos! Fast forward almost 1.5 years later, Shelby created detailed schedules and met with us a few times to go over the details of the wedding day. She has super detailed forms that you get to fill out to make sure you get everything you want on the day of. I will say, the schedule that she made was SUPER helpful, I sent it to Hair/MUA as well as my bridal party so everyone knew where and when to be at certain times throughout the day. Finally it was the big day! Shelby was scoping out the venue early and started taking the detail shots (dresses, perfume, rings, etc)! We also had a second photographer and videography included in our package. What I loved most about our experience with Shelby is that she was just a calm and confident presence during our big day. I feel like sometimes people get flustered, nervous, jittery, etc with everything going on but Shelby was there for us whether it be cheering us on to get the perfect shot, encouraging us to get that kiss, directing family members so we didn’t have to, or holding on to our tissues for all the happy tears. Shelby also is mindful of what YOU (the couple) want on your big day. If you change your mind about certain poses or things you want to do throughout the night, no big deal, Shelby goes with the flow! I loved all of the natural poses that she put us in and we are literally IN LOVE with all the sneak peeks she sent us. We can’t wait to see the entire gallery as well as our wedding video in a few months! Shelby, thank you for everything you and your team did, you are so incredibly talented and amazing! I would HIGHLY recommend using Shelby at Dear Heart Films for your wedding!! 100000/10!!

Carissa is an absolute pleasure to work with and I imagine to work for. She has the most amazing team of professional and friendly staff. The first time we sat down with her to plan the wedding, we felt like we were special clients. That feeling never disappeared from that day until the wedding. My daughter and I had endless questions throughout the planning. Carissa always responded in a timely fashion and never made us feel like we were a bother. My guests are still talking about the wedding, the venue and especially the food. My husband and I have frequently eaten at The Stonehouse and have always been impressed. We were not surprised that the catering is equally impressive. From the tasting, to planning the menu, to the actual wedding, the choices were endless and amazing. I can not think of a single thing I would change about the day. It was Perfect!! Landmark Group is a top wedding venue because they know how to do it right the first time and every time!!!

We loved IMOStudio. We had great communication with King throughout the booking process and leading up to our wedding. The day of couldn’t have been more perfect. We did photo and video through IMOstudio. We loved working with Luis and Benny. They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera having never met them before. We also had a ton of fun! My husband laughed a lot while taking photos, it was so carefree. They had great suggestions and our pictures came out so great. Everyone worries about how their wedding photos will come out, with IMOstudio, you don’t have to. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. We’d book them again and again. Thank you!

  • Venue
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $20,000

Grounds for Sculpture was built in 1992 to foster appreciation for modern sculpture, the venue wows guests with 42-acres of landscaped grounds dotted with over 270 pieces. The event spaces are versatile: We have two different venue locations on property – The Gallery Museum Rooms at the Seward Johnson Center of the Arts, a contemporary sculpture gallery offering a modern space with art exhibits from sculptors from around the world AND Rat’s Restaurant, designed to be reminiscent of Claude Monet’s beloved town of Giverny, with rustic French design influences and whimsical decor. The food is divine: Catering is provided by Constellation Culinary Group at the popular Rat’s Restaurant on site, which Hamilton Township natives know for its scrumptious cuisine, Zagat-rated ambiance, and attentive service. It’s conveniently located: Less than an hour from Philadelphia and New York—and just minutes from Princeton and Hamilton train stations!—it’s an easy trip for guests from all over.

Wow, where do I even start with this review. I am so thankful I was able to have my wedding at Rats Restaurant at Grounds for Sculpture. When you enter Rats you walk into a fairytale-like location. The venue is absolutely beautiful and unlike any wedding venue I have ever seen. The service at Rats is 10/10, every single person working our wedding was wonderful and our guests couldn’t stop telling us how kind all of the workers were. The food and drinks were delicious. Most importantly, the event coordinator, Kathy, will put your wedding planning stress at complete ease. She is so sweet, puts her heart into her work, is easy to contact, and because of this she made our wedding day perfect. Planning a wedding with Rats is guaranteeing a beautiful event for yourself and I couldn’t recommend them more.

Our Polish heritage waffle company adds elegance to weddings and parties with beautifully crafted dessert waffles. We cater with tradition and sophistication, offering a unique, delicious experience. Every bite reflects our commitment to quality and authenticity.

Goofy Gofry was amazing to work with! I catered them for my bridal proposal brunch and they really made the event special with tasty food! I am super allergic to Dairy and Tree-nuts and the staff was able to accommodate me with their vegan waffle and ensure that there was no-cross contact with dairy or tree-nuts in the food. Not only were the waffles amazing, but I was able to work with the team to design my own waffle and pick certain toppings. The theme of the brunch was a “Pretty Princess Garden Party” and they were able to find the cutest edible butterflies for the waffles! It truly was a great experience because the staff had great communication and was punctual. I definitely recommend Goofy Gofry for future events!

Let's just say that the start wasn't always full of parties and good times. Unsure of what path to take during my college years, I watched as those around me seemed to have their whole lives figured out. A graduate here, an intern there—it seemed so effortless. All while I was wondering what was meant for me. So I took a risk and signed up to learn bartending, discovering my true passion for mixology.

Anthony service was excellent. He made sure we had more then enough alcohol and non alcohol beverages. I love all the real fruit that he used with Premium liquor. Him ans his team was Professional. He made Tim and I wedding day, a time to remember. I highly recommend Ant's Smooth Boozes to service your next event.

We are a boutique wedding film company based out of Central Jersey. The owner (Hans) started the company in 2015 and has since then filmed over 150 weddings. We make films with that blend authenticity and artistry.

Booking Hans as our wedding videographer might have been the best decision that I made throughout planning the entire wedding. He captured everything so beautifully and adds a very professional artistic touch in his editing style. I cannot tell you how many times I have re-watched our wedding highlight video (and I normally don't enjoy watching videos of myself). It was like re-living the whole day over again - he captured all of the emotions, excitement, and fun throughout the day. He and his team were so great to work with throughout the process.

We're Kim and Leah. We first met in 2016 while working in marketing for a food company. While working together, we learned that we share a love of food, flowers, and events. And now, our friendship and shared interests have blossomed into Ruffled Blooms!

Leah and Kim of Ruffled Blooms went above and beyond to make our wildflower wedding a floral-filled dream! They were so organized, communicative, thoughtful, and patient throughout the process. Leah and Kim absolutely nailed the bright and playful floral theme we were going for— from peony & poppy bouquets to the stunning display above our venue’s fireplace, all of their pieces were detailed showstoppers! The real showstopper however was... the FLOWER CART!! Complete with a charming parasol umbrella, the flower cart was stocked with fresh-cut flowers, paper, and twine for our guests to DIY arrangements. It was such a fun and memorable activity— our friends and family are still talking about it! We truly could not have asked for a better experience after working with Ruffled Blooms!!

First and foremost, Congratulations on your engagement and thank you for taking the time tow1 consider what we have to offer. This is your BIG day, which will be one of the most important yet memorable days of your life. It is a romantic and exciting time that deserves precious attention. We will meet with you and customize in detail your vision and personal taste so that we can create the perfect atmosphere.

We’ve been to two other weddings Rob has been the DJ for and we had a great time both times, so we knew we wanted him for our wedding. We did not know just how far he’d blow our expectations out of the water!! Our wedding was this past Friday, 7/12, at the Madison Hotel, and we wanted it to be a wedding where everyone danced the night away. Rob understood the assignment and kept the party - our friends and family both - on the dance floor the whole night, just like we wanted! We brought in our own light-up things that he had his assistant pass out at the perfect times. He also played a mix of songs that had us dancing or singing along, and he very perfectly mixed in the punk and metal songs that the groom requested. My new husband is still gushing about how perfectly Rob timed his chosen songs!! What’s most impressive is that, again, we’ve been at 2 weddings with Rob before, and each one (including our own now so 3!) was perfectly customized to the couple, even with the crossover in music tastes. He also NAILED my ceremony entrance as a bride. He manifested my vision, without me actually ever saying it out loud. I asked, “is DJ Rob a mind reader???” Several times the next day. We want to plan another wedding just so we can have Rob as a DJ again - that is how much we loved his work! Also, for anyone who is not sure if they want uplighting: go for it!! We made the decision last minute and it was 100% worth it.

Hi! I'm Naomi, a wedding and portrait photographer passionate about what I do. I strive to build a relationship with my clients, making a connection that enables me to bring out the best in them and capture it with my camera. I love to work with natural light, and my work strikes a perfect balance between photo-journalistic and traditional. Based in scenic Hunterdon County, and lucky to use my beautiful surroundings as a backdrop for my work.

If we could give Naomi 100000000 stars we would! She was amazing from the first time we spoke with her and still continues to be amazing to this day! We got married in June, in the heart of the pandemic. And she was so kind about all of it. She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera, which is one thing I was worried about- both my husband and myself are pretty awkward with posing.. but she was able to capture all of it like nothing. And she did it with the biggest smile on her face the whole time! And most importantly, her photos turned out BEAUTIFULLY. I still scroll through them at least once or twice a week and it’s now months later. She captured EVERYTHING. Highly HIGHLY recommended.
