Belinda was an absolute godsend throughout my wedding planning journey. From the very start, her organization and the tools she provided made everything so much easier. Her communication was not only consistent but also very honest, always aligning with my vision and preferences. What truly stood out was Belinda's creativity.

Her expertise extended beyond just planning. Belinda was instrumental in addressing my vendor concerns. She provided insightful pointers and ensured seamless coordination among all parties involved, which alleviated so much stress. On the day of the wedding, Belinda and her assistant Vivian were nothing short of amazing! They were organized, keeping everything on track and handling situations with grace. In fact, there were moments I didn't even realize there was an issue until they had already resolved it! Their guidance throughout the night was invaluable, ensuring every detail was executed flawlessly. Belinda's dedication to my wedding was commendable, making you feel as if you are the only client she has. She was transparent with her opinions and helped me make informed decisions that ultimately saved me from stressful moments. If you're looking for a wedding planner who is not only professional and efficient but also genuinely cares about making your day perfect, look no further than Belinda. Trust me, you need her in your life! Fit her into your budget!! You know it’s serious when the groom can’t stop raving about her and says that he understood why I needed her. I cannot recommend Belinda highly enough, she turned what could have been a stressful experience into a joyous and memorable occasion. She even checked in with us the next day and after the honeymoon! I don’t know if it’s wedding blues or maybe it’s just that I miss you lol But either way thank you, Belinda, for everything you did to make our wedding day absolutely magical!

Crystal Plaza

Livingston, NJ
  • Venue
  • Up to 350 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $40,000

Before it became our beloved event venue, the historic Crystal Plaza was originally a residential mansion. The initial Livingston, New Jersey-based residence was built in the late 1800s by famed architect Stanford White, who was responsible for designing the Tiffany building on Fifth Avenue, the original Madison Square Garden complex among other landmark structures. While the restored building has since been reincarnated as one of the leading wedding and event spaces in the tri-state area, it still maintains the feeling of its 19th century grandeur. Our impeccable, white-glove service begins the moment you arrive. Crystal Plaza hosts only one event at a time, ensuring that our dedicated team focuses singularly on you and your every need. From the elegant Grand Ballroom boasting numerous chandeliers (how the Crystal Plaza name came to be) to the lush gardens that change beautifully with the seasons, there are myriad backdrops to complement your wedding, social affair or corporate event.

We had the most amazing experience planning our wedding at Crystal Plaza! Every member of the staff was incredible to work with - from the early planning stages to the day of details. The venue itself is also beautiful, and the food was truly amazing! Not only was cocktail hour incredible, but also was the main course and the desserts. We received so many comments after our wedding about how gorgeous the venue was (including both bridal and groom suites) and about how delicious the food was! We really had the best time and wish we could do it all over again!!

We used Dean Michaels Studio for our photography and videography.

They worked to make us comfortable and ensured we stayed with our timeline so that we could actually enjoy our cocktail hour and reception without feeling like we were taking pictures all night. Additionally, the video came out like a movie - the different camera angles that they were able to capture were STUNNING and really made it feel like we were reliving our special day. We can't stop watching it. The icing on the (wedding) cake was that their prices were incredibly reasonable compared to other vendors, and we didn't sacrifice anything in terms of quality.

I cannot recommend Sophie enough for wedding make up. My wife and I used Sophie as our makeup artist for ourselves, our two moms, and my sister-in-law. Getting your make up done is an intimate process and sets the tone for the entire day and with Sophie there I felt beautiful and comfortable the whole time. We were not able to do a make up trial due to my schedule so she worked with me prior to my wedding day via zoom to make sure she knew exactly what I wanted. She sent me examples and helped me articulate my vision and even tried the looks on herself so that I could see them come to life. On the day of I felt so glam and powerful. My look lasted through performances and lots of dancing and my pictures from the end of the night are still STUNNING with no touch ups required (though she did provide us with the cutest touch up kits) My wife’s style and comfort with make up is much different than mine so she did a make up trial and Sophie helped her to find a look that was “wedding glam” but still felt authentic. Our looks were very different and incredibly “us” and showed off Sophie’s range and talent. Logistically, she is a complete professional with high end products that she organizes for ease of use and hygiene. Though my make up ran much longer than intended, she had anticipated that and so we still finished exactly on time. I never felt rushed or stressed - only like an absolute queen. It was the perfect way to start my wedding day and was worth every single penny.

Awarded Best of Zola
After attending a wedding at Perona Farms in 2021, my husband and I knew that we wanted to look there to host our wedding when we got engaged. We originally went to tour Perona with the intent of booking our wedding at the Refinery, but ended up falling in love with the look and feel of the Reserve. Leading up to the wedding we were matched up with an event coordinator who we didn’t have the best experience with. She was slow to respond to emails and questions, often not answering some of our questions if there were multiple questions asked, and sometimes provided incorrect or unclear information to us that we had to clarify multiple times. Besides that, our experience with Perona was completely seamless and we loved everyone that we worked with. Our ceremony coordinator (Anastasia) and maitre’d (Tommy) were absolutely amazing on the day of the wedding. Ana was literally picking pine needles out of my dress after we took pictures in the pines and was so kind, warm, and seemed truly excited to be part of our day. Tommy waited on us hand and foot during the reception and was always there if we needed a drink refill or had any requests. He waited until we sat down to serve us our dinners so that our plates weren’t sitting at the table and the food was served hot. He was attentive to the needs of our parents, as well. The morning of the wedding we used the Carriage House and Workshop for the bridal party to get ready. It’s a great space to utilize so that everyone in the bridal party can hang out and spend time together while getting ready with hair and makeup for the girls and pool/ping pong/darts/etc. for the guys. The girls were served breakfast and lunch as well as any drinks we wanted, and the guys were served lunch and drinks as well. The food at Perona Farms is unmatched as most of it is farm to table, with vegetables grown on the property and cheese and dairy sourced from a local dairy farm.

We cannot say enough amazing things about Bello Giorno Estate. The location of the estate is adjacent to a small river, which made for absolutely spectacular wedding photos. Think Secret Garden meets Italian Villa! We also loved the intimate feel of the banquet hall, which was the perfect fit for our wedding size. Our guests loved the food and service. Even though we planned our wedding remotely, working with Monica and Stephanie was incredibly easy, as they were very responsive to both email and phone calls. We felt like they went above and beyond to accommodate us and tailor our wedding so it would be perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to hold our wedding. Thank you Bello Giorno!

Hi there! I'm Bryan and I can't wait to capture the beauty of your love and the joy of your big day. I've been photographing weddings for nine years and love working with couples interested in authentic moments and stunning portraits. From your getting ready details to your final send off, I blend in seamlessly and document the day like a friend, keeping it fun and stress free. With a style that is timeless and not bound to the trends of the moment, I capture each couple in a unique way and I see you for you.

Working with Bryan was a joy. He is communicative, kind, relaxed, and so skilled in his art. He took the time to get to know us as a couple first and then as clients, which I'm sure helped his understanding of what we wanted and needed to capture. He knew the prompts to suggest to create gorgeous photos and was willing to work with is with the many things we wanted to try during portraits and the reception (including dealing with rain and a huge group photo where he graciously accepted standing on a chair to get the shot). He was thorough and got every shot that we asked for and used his talent and skill to give us many more that have become our favorites. The photos were given to us extremely fast and at a beautiful quality – everyone we've shown them to adores them. He was accommodating on the day and the result is nothing short of stunning – it helps us relive the day in clarity, which is priceless.

My fiance and I attended a friend's wedding and this band was performing during the reception. We just loved this band, they kept all the guests on the dance floor, perfect transitions, energy, sound quality, and great singers as well also caught our attention, so we were sure that we found the perfect band for our wedding. When the party ended, my friend introduced the band leader, Marcel. After the wedding he went over all the details of our wedding, the band learned 5 of our special songs, and the service was amazing, we chose a 9-piece band for the reception, a New Yorker Jazz band to perform during the cocktail and dinner, and a beautiful set of three strings for our ceremony, I highly recommend Loveday Band, they delivered as promised and made our big day special, Thank you Loveday Band, Annie and Ben

Julian is absolutely amazing! It rained on our day and he still got beautiful pictures. He also dealt with the chaos of doing bridal party shots inside during cocktail hour and he did it with such ease which made me more relaxed. He went above and beyond and for that I am very thankful! I would recommend Orchard Street Studio to anyone!

I cannot say enough good things about Cortney. Her kindness and generosity of time and consideration is extraordinary. Cortney has a wonderful sense for where to get the best candid pictures and getting the light just right. She even seems to have a remarkable ability to get the animals to cooperate with pictures. When disaster hit my wedding (the groom fell and broke his nose the day of the wedding), Cortney went above and beyond to try and develop/edit the pictures but still be honest to who we were. I truly felt like I made a friend in the process and so very grateful that Cortney was apart of our wedding celebration.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Rich as the videographer for our small intimate wedding was an absolute dream. He was transparent with pricing and services offered. Response time was extremely quick and his availability to talk when I had questions was very flexible. On the day of Rich put everyone at ease. We had an intimate 25 person wedding and I was worried a professional videographer would overpower the atmosphere but he was able to blend into the background while also being right there to capture everything. He was also super helpful the whole day and I really appreciated the extra above and beyond effort he put in to help things run smoothly. The videos and stills we received back left me speechless they were so beautiful and he was able to translate the inspiration I sent in his own way and perfectly capture the day. I can’t recommend Richard J Nieves Photography enough.

I've stewed over this review for a while not because, Charmaine isn't deserving, but because I wanted to make sure I wrote a review that truly did her justice. Words cannot describe how impressed I was with her responsiveness, innovative thinking, flexibility, and of course fabulous food. She was never difficult to get a hold of and always responded to all of my questions in a very timely manner. When I explained to Charmaine that I wanted to honor my Caribbean culture by serving a mix of American and Trinidadian food for my 10-year anniversary party, she rose to the occasion. She provided amazing suggestions. Some of the foods included in the passed hors d'oeuvre event included fried plantain, burger sliders, beef patties, jerk wings, and teriyaki wings amongst other foods. When I called Charmaine the day before about a last-minute change to the menu to account for food sensitivities, she didn't even skip a beat. And my guests LOVED all of it. They continued raving about the food for DAYS following the event. Even my picky two-year-old devoured the beef patties. To say, that I will be singing the praises for Charmaine of the Culinary Curate is an understatement. If you don't utilize her service, you will certainly regret it.

Featuring a working mill, blacksmith shop, active church, and several beautiful historic houses, Waterloo Village is a time capsule surrounded by an air of tranquil beauty. With its rich history, Waterloo Village is the perfect setting for weddings. Boasting two spectacular indoor event spaces—the newly-renovated meeting house and the rustic pavilion—in addition to its spacious outdoor compound, Waterloo has the resources and ambiance to make your special occasion a memorable success. As a remarkably well-preserved example of a 19th-Century canal town and the site of a 400-year-old Lenape Indian village, Waterloo Village is an incredibly valuable piece of New Jersey history. Waterloo is open to the public as part of Allamuchy Mountain State Park and home to many events and educational programs to teach and inform visitors about the past. When you choose Waterloo Village as the setting for your event, a portion of proceeds will go towards the preservation and restoration of the site.

I am getting married here 12.14.24 and let me tell you I can not WAIT! As soon as my fiancé and I stepped foot on the premises we knew, this was the venue that was meant for us! It's has a modern rustic feel to it, the food is grown on premises and I had some at an open house and it was absolutely delicious. Also for the price, and how much is included it wild, was another selling point for us. We get to design our own centerpieces, they have their own cute table seating board, and we get a day of coordinator that will help us set up and much more. I hate sounding like an informercial but this venue is a beautiful gem and the more I plan the more excited I am to be getting married there! If you are looking for a beautiful historic park, with both beautiful outside AND inside options for getting married, book a tour here!

My name is Jia, I am a lover of Seafood, Peking Duck, and Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Lattes. I also love to see people smile. I believe that all smiles are contagious, this is why I chose wedding photography: it magically makes me smile more. I love the warm sunlight and true emotions from both the bride and the groom. Now looking back, I am really thankful that clients appreciate my artistic vision more than my professional equipment. PS: Personally, I’d avoid the moon but I am more than happy to photograph you anywhere on earth. :)

I don’t even know where to begin to describe just how amazing Jia is as not only a photographer but a videographer as well. I had initially found him through my best friend Sam, who he had done BOTH photo and video for, and I was blown away by his amazing work. He was kind enough to do the videography for my wedding and I am so grateful that he did. Not only does he do amazing work, but he is professional, kind, pays attention to every detail, and he ended up being the life of the party at the wedding. All of my guests adored him, and he made everyone feel so comfortable. When my husband and I received our video, we were both in tears. You can really tell how much time and effort Jia put into it. If you are in search of a photographer or videographer do not hesitate to book Jia from Frame Your Love Photography. You surely will not regret it!! attached are some screen shots from my wedding video because they are just too good not to share.

Green Dot came highly recommended and they did not disappoint! I don’t think our wedding day would have been the perfect day without Jenny and her team. From the moment we contacted them to inquire about their services they were super responsive and helpful. We contracted Jenny to be our Day of Coordinator. She became involved in the planning 2 weeks prior to the day by going through all of our contracts and making sure we didn’t miss anything. She made suggestions that we would have never even thought of to make the day go smoother. We had a couple of calls to go through run of show and explain to her my vision. As a bride, it is hard to hand over your months of planning, but I trusted Greendot without a doubt. Of course as always there are changes needed to be made day of and Jenny made sure to always provide us with new schedules. The day of the wedding she messaged us first thing in the morning to make sure we felt calm and ready. As we got ready she ensured the vendors were taken care of and on time. If there were any hiccups I can say that we never even noticed because Jenny and her team were on top of everything! We even had minutes to spare to have a more than welcomed break between the ceremony and reception. Throughout the evening Jenny would check in to make sure that we had everything we needed. Next time I have an event I know who to call. Greendot is a delight to work with, creative, and organized. Brides and Grooms a day of coordinator is a must and Greendot is your team. Thank you Jenny for everything!

We are Storytellers | We observe and capture what we see through our lens and narrate the story that we witnessed with all the emotions and sentiments that come with the memories. We have been telling stories for many years, sometimes we can predict the plot, sometimes we still get surprised. We are always looking for the next amazing story to tell.

Awarded Best of Zola
Olya and Tony are on a completely different level. It’s truly art when you watch someone love what they do. They are professionals and skilled craftsmen. For example, we originally planned to have our first look at a nearby park, but they suggested that we book a private area instead. Both my fiancé and I were skeptical and unsure if we should, since it required us to spend a little more. All I can say is that I’m glad we did. You can’t control the weather, and on the day of our wedding, it rained. Thanks to their advice, we have some of the best photos I’ve ever seen. During our first look, Tony directed me on where to stand, while Olya guided the bride. She fixed her dress when needed and noticed minor details most people would overlook. And don’t get me started on the actual wedding—Tony, like a magician, was able to capture key moments and genuine reactions. During out wedding both Tony and Olya directed us on how to stand, where we should place our hands and which way we should look. They communicated with us and coached us through each photo. Before the wedding they helped us plan a timeline and were quick to respond if we needed to make changes. The two of them are a blast to have around and the results are something else. I couldn’t be happier with how things turned out.

I used Tavola for our backyard wedding ceremony. They were on time, the food was fresh, the presentation was beautiful and a huge hit. I was concerned that I ordered a large spread and we would have so much left over. It turns out it was mostly gone by the end of the night and it was the talk around the table. I went ahead and used them again after that for some work functions and they never disappoint.

A small studio in Union NJ with big plans! I have been a photographer for 6 years working as a freelancer. Learning on the field like back in the day is the best way to learn everything about photography. Starting a Zola is the first step to branch from a freelancer to a business owner / photographer. Im starting my own business for my baby, Xavier. Working at your wedding helps me be with my family longer.

I got the Photo / Video / DJ package deal with free selfie booth. They came an hour early to make sure everything was setup, I even got an extra hour of photos taken while the videographer was putting together his gizmo. He recommended Drawlines Studio for video which they did a fabulous job putting the video together. There DJ was perfect, had a speaker system for the ceremony and for the venue. The fog machine, sparklers and TVs really made my moments with my husband and dad special. The wedding album and parent albums are such good quality. Over all everything was perfect. Thank you for everything!!
