Awarded Best of Zola
I couldn’t be more thrilled with the videography services I booked through Enchanted Celebrations! From start to finish, the experience was absolutely seamless and exceeded my expectations in every way. My videographer, Jack, was incredible! He had such great attention to detail and truly brought my vision to life. I appreciated how he listened closely to my guidelines and ensured every moment was captured exactly how I envisioned. Not only did he follow the plan, but he also added his own creative touches that made the video even more special. I had a few minor requests for changes, and I was beyond impressed with how quickly and efficiently they were handled. The team offered a free re-edit, and within no time, my video was updated just the way I wanted it. The final product was everything I hoped for and more. I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out!

Hazel & Spice Photography

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Bay Shore, 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.

The Barnstorm is an NYC-based party rock wedding band, best known for their electric and engaging dance party receptions. It's been said they're "not a real wedding band," but rather "an incredibly fun and engaging band that just happens to absolutely rock weddings!" Whether it's today's hits, top 40, hip hop, classic rock, Motown, and all things in between, The Barnstorm can do it all - putting their own spin on everything they do.

Awarded Best of Zola
I looked forward to every Tuesday night when my friends and I would gather at Brother Jimmy’s Murray Hill to watch The Barnstorm and dance until we couldn’t feel our feet. I knew in 2017 that one day I would get married and I wanted to recreate this wonderful feeling that I would get every Tuesday night. WELL, joke’s on me because I got that feeling and more. I do not even have words for the atmosphere that The Barnstorm created on our wedding day. Leading up to that day, Brooks was INCREDIBLY attentive to the hundreds of questions that I bombarded him with on a daily basis. He walked me through pricing, how the first dances would go, what kind of music gets played during dinner – every question came with an immediate follow up and a “how are you doing?” – completely above and beyond what a typical wedding band would provide. And that was before our wedding day even happened! The day of was indescribable. The atmosphere provided by The Barnstorm was absolutely electric and had every single person on the dance floor from 8 pm to 1130 pm. I genuinely feel like our wedding was one of the best concerts I have ever been to. The band is absolutely magnetic. To top it off about one week after our wedding, as we were reliving the day, I get a text message from a friend saying “we booked your wedding band!”. They are THAT freaking good. If you want to have the best night of your entire life PLEASE look no further than The Barnstorm.

Eli Holmes Photo + Film 

1.8

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Bay Shore, NY

Film brought art back to photography — having control over the film stock, using particular cameras for different reasons, doing double exposures with film blindly, souping film and customizing the development process to the wedding, and so much more. And through film, I embrace the imperfections of weddings — following along with your flow of the day and natural interactions of your friends and family. Capturing your wedding story as it happens is always the priority and focus.

We were going to go with an off island photographer when we came across Eli and their work. Their knowledge of the island, how the wind blows differently on different sides of our venue, how the light hits perfectly on this side of the venue and we can still get an ocean view — that they care about the power lines and know how to avoid cars in the back of ceremony images. The list just went on and on and on. Working with Eli was like working with a walking encyclopedia of Block Island. And when you're getting married on the island, it's such an asset. Eli helped walk us through other on island vendors, best spots for our engagement sessions, different hotels that might suite certain guests better than others, an amazing casual rehearsal dinner/welcome party idea that was flawless, and I just couldn't be happier. When we got the images though, I didn't know what to say. Eli had captured so much of our story, we felt the same jitters getting ready to walk down the aisle looking through images of moments we didn't. get to experience on our wedding day (we were a little busy, getting married, and you just can't witness everything). Eli was so great with our friends and family, able to choral a few of my drunk groomsmen, while simultaneously making my antsy family members just super at ease and happy. I couldn't be happier in working with Eli and can't wait to see them in future years when we visit.

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.

Avec Lamour! I cannot say enough about the services that are executed. Avec Lamour captured our wedding day recently this past October, 2023. The videos were so beautiful it was all my wife and I could ever hope for. We had the pleasure of working closely with John Hill (owner of Avec Lamour) a talented cinematographer. When searching for a videographer I personally knew that I did want my wedding day to be captured and documented much differently than the usual wedding videos seen today. Although beautiful, my wife and I agreed to have more of a cinematic approach. We shortly came across John Hill, a wonderful cinematographer with the skills to capture the happiest day of our lives and turn it into cinematic art. A love story that captures all viewers attention and one my wife and I will cherish forever. Our overall experience working with John was exceptional! Heidi is a very cool down to earth guy that really gets your vision. John is timely in responses and the delivery of the finalized product took only just a short few weeks we were so thrilled!

From there she was happy to answer any of our questions and touched base with us leading up to the event till the day of. She showed up very professional but was still her kind self and didn’t hesitate to step up to help us find the best shots for bridal portraits, first looks, and more. She had no problem wrangling our families for photos, and blended in so well in some instances to get the shot. She helped us get photos with every single person at our wedding, and even led the line dances for our guests. Then when it came time to get our photos back, I was BLOWN AWAY by her editing style and hand picked photos to send back to us. You can tell that she is passionate about all of her work from being behind the camera to editing. She went above and beyond her contract and duties, and truly was so instrumental to capturing our day for us, as every time I look at our photos, I feel the emotion she captured from them.

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.

Hi! I’m Julia, middle name Margo, a film school dropout and music buff who wants to make your wedding look like art. I'm here to represent diversity in the couples I work with and weddings I shoot (love is love), to give you something hyper-shareable that will instantly transport you in space and time for the rest of your lives, and to make you cry upon watching. The crying is very important. Bear with me on this analogy, but basically I like my wedding films like I like my salads: raw, organic, a little bit of quirk and flare, and consumed alongside great music. If this sound pretty good to you, have a look at my work and get in touch!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you want your wedding day to be captured like an art piece, like an actual movie or magical music video, hire Julia. I cannot recommend Margo Sees Stars enough! I knew I wanted a video of our big day because A) my memory (for the little details) sucks and B) I knew seeing the movement and all the sweet in-between moments in live footage would be so much more meaningful to me than just still photography. But I also am not drawn to super traditional sappy wedding video treatments. Julia took it to another level. I don't remember how I found her but she was the first vendor I booked and it was an A move and worth absolutely every penny. I fell in love with her Wes Anderson style, her eye for minimalism and fun candid moments, her editing and music choices. I felt such joy watching her videos of other peoples weddings, I couldn't imagine how good I would feel watching my own in her beautifully unique film style. Cut to my wedding day, not that this is totally mandatory but she was a complete fly on the wall. Obviously I was a bit preoccupied but I barely remember seeing her there, to the point that later on I was worried she may not have captured enough of the day because WHERE WAS SHE?! But she caught EVERY moment. Moments I was too anxious to pay attention to, or wasn't present for, or was having too much fun to remember. But I'm SO happy to be able to see them in the final video. It was 100x more than I dreamed of. Myself, my husband, our families, we all wept watching it. The music was so perfectly edited to the shots. Honestly I was anxious to pick a song without seeing the footage so I just gave her a few songs and bands I liked and the general vibe I wanted, and she completely NAILED it. She was also hugely accommodating to my editing process (I'm also a creative so I was a bit nit picky), and super communicative along the way when needed. But there was barely any need for it. You just let her do her thing and she makes absolute artistic magic. Not to mention she sends you the raw footage in an adorable package filled with Hershey's kisses and a camera-shaped USB key. I loved my wedding day but the moments are so fleeting, it goes by so quickly and then its gone forever, and it's lovely to have photographs of the day, but I'm telling you, having such a uniquely beautiful video art piece to watch when you want to smile really hits different.

My wedding was last month and I am so BEYOND happy I chose VDL Brothers as my florist. Sonja is not only extremely talented but also attentive, reliable, supportive, and consistently went above and beyond to make my wedding flowers and decor special and personalized. My bouquet made me cry (happy tears) when I saw it. As did the boutonnières, wedding party flowers, and decor. Each bridesmaid bouquet, boutonniere and bud vase was unique and intricately done. She really listens to what you want and makes it a reality. During the early planning process she made a personalized event plan complete with my and her own inspiration pics, and kept it updated whenever I needed to make a change. Perhaps the highlight was the Bud Vase wall that she constructed from scratch for my seating chart. It was beyond what you see on Instagram and Pinterest. She also provided a chuppah which was more sturdy and beautiful than any I found elsewhere, and was hands on with managing the set up and take down of all the decor. I was worried about “spending so much on flowers” but honestly the flowers/decor/experience working with her was easily one of my favorite parts of my wedding, and worth every penny and then some. Her pricing is a steal for what you get with her.
