Dragonfly Flowers

  • Florist
  • Serves Carteret, NJ

I am small business florist who loves creating the most perfect florals for a couples most special day. I really believe that flowers can bring so much joy, they can celebrate cultures, represent life and passion, and even remember and honor loved ones. Whether it is a single rose, or a full wildflower garden, I think there are flowers for every type of person!

Awarded Best of Zola
I texted Laura the day of my wedding because I felt like she needed to know my first tears were shed when I saw my bouquet. Words cannot describe how perfect it was. Laura took everything me and my partner asked for and ran with it. Florals were a very big piece of our wedding and I really feel like we asked the perfect person to bring them to life. Not only were the florals perfect but my mom stopped me the day after my wedding just to tell me she ran into Laura and she was "just so kind". 100/10 would recommend hiring her for your wedding.

Lisa and Pieter are truly the most amazing wedding photographers! We knew without a doubt that we wanted to use them for our wedding and we felt even better about our decision when we got our engagement photos—WOW! Our engagement shoot exceeded all of our expectations. Fast forward to just before the wedding—Lisa contacted all of our vendors to introduce herself and to help coordinate. My makeup artist and hair stylist were blown away by this. They thought it was super helpful of her to reach out and helped solidify a timeline with everyone. My videographer said that Lisa was such a pleasure to work with! She really went above and beyond. She helped keep me calm on my wedding day and her and Pieter truly captured every special moment. They have such an incredible eye. We could not be happier with our wedding gallery. We have gotten SO many compliments on our wedding photos and several people reached out to me asking for Lisa’s info for the future! We got previews just the day after our wedding, as well as more previews a few days later. The rest of our gallery was delivered in a timely manner. Choose Lisa and Pieter!

Your wedding day deserves nothing less than magic, and that's exactly what I bring to the table! Couples who've chosen DJ Maxx Saint describe his energy as electric, the transitions as seamless, and the memories as unforgettable.

Let’s make your celebration a once-in-a-lifetime experience that’s as unique as your love story!

We are so glad we went with DJ Maxx for our wedding! We were looking for someone who would be able to cater to all of our needs (English and Spanish playlists) but who didn't bring a 'club promoter' vibe to the function! We found that and more in DJ Maxx! The dry ice and party lights made the night so fun! Everyone's told us how much fun they had at our wedding and how nice it was to be able to discreetly (lol) make song requests! Definitely recommend!

Hello, I'm Margaret. It's so nice to have you. I love to see love & take pictures. Perfect match to be an engagement and wedding photographer. I'm a lover of fine art and candid moments. My editing style is filled with true color photography to bring your photos to life.

Awarded Best of Zola
I seriously can’t put into words how amazing she was and cannot recommend her enough. She was great to have around on our wedding day and I am so happy with our photos. The groomsmen didn't have their act together, even though she provides a detailed schedule, and she was totally chill about it and was like no biggie I'll be back in 30. My fiancé commented on how awesome she was (didn't comment on any other vendors) and one of his groomsmen did too (see first pic). This was before we even saw the pics and they turned out better than I could have imagined. At one point I told her I was done taking pics I wanted to go talked to people and dance, so was a little worried if we got enough shots, but was blown away with the results. I also told her I didn't care that much about getting ready pics but wanted a lot of guest candids and she delivered. She also got way more getting ready pics than I even expected. We didn't want to spend money on a second photographer and she was fine with that and got all the pics we wanted on her own. She truly listened to what we wanted and was incredible at communication and organization. On top of that, she is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met, and truly a calming presence during all of the chaos on wedding day. I feel sooo lucky we found her.

If you’re reading this, then you’re at the stage right now where you are researching individual photographers style, reading reviews showing their reputation, and scheduling a call to research their personality while sharing your vision. …. Now imaging doing all that work just for a “team member” or “an associate” photographer to show up on your wedding day? CRAZY RIGHT?! When you hire Jamie, your date is locked in FOR YOU, no unwanted surprises!

Momo Shot Photography

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $1,399
  • Serves Carteret, NJ

I’m a drummer, a mother of two amazing kids, and a proud owner of an 80lb Samoyed. My passion for photography is deeply influenced by my family legacy—my grandmother was a dedicated full-time photographer who spent her life capturing and hand-coloring her own images. Growing up immersed in her art has profoundly shaped my own approach to photography. As a photographer, I'd love to capture the journey of two people in love, telling the genuine and touching story of their life together. I strive to create images that convey heartfelt narratives and reflect the true essence of your relationship and the moments you share.

We hired Momo for our Chinese-Bengali fusion wedding celebration in lower east side of Manhattan in mid June 2024. We had a very small venue with 10 family members and 30 closest and dearest friends of ours for an intimate gathering. Momo’s camera closely followed and captured the unfolding of the event and the subtlest facial expressions of our family, guests and myself throughout the night. I got to know about her work from Red (Chinese Reddit) before entrusting her for one of the most important events of my life, but was still caught exhilarated by her work product on our event — her passion about photography and deep expertise in its technicality shined through the over 200-photo-well-woven storyline. Besides her exceptional work and high professionalism throughout our pre-and-during event communication, I appreciated her confident and genuine approach which I found down-to-earth, super helpful and reassuring — she really put in the work to understand you and amplify your shining traits. It’s such a pleasant and unforgettable experience to work with Momo. I would highly recommend her for any couples who are looking for wedding photographers.

Dear Heart Film + Portraits

  • Serves Carteret, 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.

From the moment we first reached out to Shelby, we were impressed by her supportive and always available communication style. Her stunning, warm, and intentional work captured the spirit of our special day perfectly. She helped navigate the stress by creating a very detailed timeline and provided some much-needed calm amongst the chaos. Throughout it all, she supported us through the stress and anxiety, knew our entire party by name, and honored our unique vision for our wedding day. We are thrilled with the results and couldn't recommend Shelby and Dear Heart Film Portraits more highly!!!

Joe Cutalo was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From our first interaction, Joe was quick, efficient, and incredibly knowledgeable about capturing the best shots. He was always informed about the timeline and ensured we got every photo we wanted, even when we changed things up at the last minute. The quality of his work is truly amazing - the photos he delivered are breathtaking and captured all the special moments that made our day so unique.

  • Serves Carteret, NJ

When I was a little girl, my favorite part about making the trip to Argentina to visit my grandparents, was rummaging through their old boxes of prints on a rainy day and just imagining life through those photos. I think that's what started my passion for photography. Knowing that a photo can have such an impact on a child, someone who hasn't even met you yet, makes taking them all the more meaningful. I am passionate about making meaningful images for others because I know how important those photos will be in the future.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Carolina for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision! From the very beginning, she made us feel comfortable and at ease, which was such a relief for two people who aren’t always the most comfortable in front of the camera. Her pre-wedding connection shoot was a fantastic way for us to get to know her better and for her to understand our personalities and what we were looking for. It was a great way to break the ice and helped us feel much more relaxed on the big day. Throughout the entire process, Carolina was not only professional but also genuinely kind and attentive. She truly went above and beyond, even giving us a few sneak peek shots early, which was such a thoughtful touch and helped us relive some of the best moments right away. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. She captured our day in such a beautiful, authentic way, and we are so grateful for all her hard work. If you're looking for someone who is not just talented but also warm and genuinely cares about making you feel comfortable and happy, we highly recommend Carolina!!

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!

Sandy felt like the sister I never had- guiding and comforting me through every step of the way. If you are looking for a stress-free, flawless wedding you must use La Mila !!

Bridal Makeup by Meli - Makeup Artistry

  • Beauty professional
  • Serves Carteret, NJ

Based out of Hunterdon County, New Jersey, Bridal Makeup By Meli provides makeup and hair services for all weddings and special events. Meli is an experienced professional makeup artist who specializes in makeup including airbrush makeup services. Whether you seek a traditional look or full glam, Meli strives to help you realize your beauty vision.

Meli is the best makeup artist I could have asked for on my wedding day. I am so thankful to her for everything! From the trial, which helped me get an idea of what the experience would be, to the day itself, she was nothing but helpful. Meli showed up on time and ready to work, after a few minutes of setting up and a sip of coffee she was ready to go. Everyone was very impressed with how hard she worked! She kept us on schedule so we were able to walk out the door on time. I was impressed by how she was calm and collected while all the chaos was happening around her. All the ladies were so happy with their makeup, and each of us chose very different looks. From the young to the old we all looked glam and felt fabulous. I also changed my inspiration a bit from the trial to the wedding day, and she was more than flexible with adding a bit more glam to the look. She also communicated with me in the months leading up to the wedding, and I never felt like I was left in the dark about anything. My makeup lasted the whole day and I was so sad to take it off since that was the most beautiful I have ever felt. It even lasted through a torrential downpour in NYC as we were running to our hotel room - I looked in the mirror and still had the full glam face on! I would recommend Meli highly and am so happy I got to work with her!

Hey, I’m Daniel. I’m a NY & NJ wedding photographer who incorporates fresh, contemporary techniques to create dramatic portraits for couples on their wedding day. The wedding industry is filled with incredible vendors who want nothing more than for you to have the epic wedding you’ve been dreaming of. But what if you don’t want just the classic and cookie-cutter things that this industry seems to offer? By understanding your needs and tailoring your wedding day coverage to you, I ensure that together we will create an experience that is just as fulfilling as the final image gallery.

Working with Daniel and his team was hands down the best experience I've ever had and would recommend him without any thought. Daniel is definitely a guru at his craft. During my consultation with him I explained I wanted to be relive the moment everytime I looked at my photos and he did just that. He suggested a few locations he thought would deliver what I wanted and he was right. Not only did he pay attention to the small details of the shots but he worked so well with my 2 year old whom I was nervous about cooperating during the session. THANK YOU Daniel for delivering and allowing my husband and I to relive our wedding day every time we look at out photos. This is definitely your calling.
