Sergio and his team at PEG were truly exceptional and I am so happy we booked them for our wedding! We had them do our ceremony music, our reception DJ , live sax player, and photo booth!

Let me start by saying that this bride is a bit late on reviews... but as my 1 year anniversary approaches and I look at the beautiful pictures that I have from my wedding day, I wanted to take the time to thank RB Studio and Michael! When I first contacted them I knew he was the photographer for us based on his personalized response. We asked for a bit of an unusual session from him as we wanted to travel all over the Hoboken area on our wedding day to take pictures with as many local backdrops as we could. Michael didn't blink an eye, he was all for the adventure! We were new to the area so we left it up to him to plan the day and he chose the most amazing locations, even including a coffee shop that captured part of our love story. I am thankful that we found Red Bank Studio and will be hiring him again to explore more locations in the future.

They were so kind and caring the day of, making sure we loved our chuppah and everything.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you are looking to have a wedding where your guests do not leave the dance floor the entire night - look no further because JB Pro Live is who you need!! Our DJ, Jan, absolutely exceeded all expectations we had as a DJ for our wedding day. When we met with him before the wedding, we gave him a few of our favorite songs but told him to use his discretion as what was most important to us was having everyone dancing and enjoying themselves. WELL, did he know what he was doing!!! Our dance floor was filled the ENTIRE NIGHT. We had 220 guests at our wedding, and 0 of them were sitting. We have guests who didn't even know we had a photo booth or voicemail booth because they truly did not leave the dance floor one time to look around. Jan reads the room perfectly and truly has a niche for knowing what people like to hear. Our MC Matt was also so great! He helped keep the night on track and made sure we were enjoying ourselves the entire time. He was fun, entertaining, and kept the vibes going! We have had 10 guests ask for our DJs information so they can book him for their own wedding because he really was just that good. After just the first dance set alone, our guests were excited and ready to party because he set the tone perfectly! We also booked a saxophonist through JPBRO as well as a dry ice machine, indoor firework fountains, and the snow effect and they were all perfect! The snow was by far the best addition! It was practically real snow (way better than what we were expecting) and all of our guests went crazy over it! The saxophonist was also a great touch and played practically every song throughout the night which our guests loved! And of course the dry ice machine and indoor firework fountains looked so great in our wedding pictures! Request Jan as your DJ- he is worth every penny and you will not regret it!!! He is absolutely a pro at what he does and you can guarantee that with him, not only will you have the best night of your life, but your guests will as well!

Gab and her team were so easy to work with and so professional. She was so organized that we were done early! All of my bridesmaids were different skin tones, types, and requested different makeup styles. Everyone was flawless and stayed that way all night. As the bride, she made sure to take care of and pamper me to keep me calm and enjoying the process. I barely felt like I was wearing makeup and she nailed exactly what I was looking for. Would certainly recommend and work with her again! I am so thankful to have had her on such an important day.

We searched for a DJ in our area that would listen to our requests for music to get everyone who attended to get up and dance and join the celebration. Alex did not disappoint and was an outstanding DJ. His price for the event was also very reasonable. We spoke to him several times to seek ideas for the celebration songs to play and when to play them. He had a user-friendly website where you can put in the top 50 songs you wanted to play as well as additional songs if there was time. I sang to my wife at our wedding 50 years ago and wanted to surprise her at the party and do the same. I called Alex and asked him if he could set up and find the background instrumentals to “Have I told you Lately”. Minutes later he sent me a link of the instrumental via email. I practiced it once and it was perfect. My wife was definitely surprised, as well as our guests, when I sung it to her while I danced with my her. It was a special moment during our celebration and Alex helped make it happen. Received a lot of complimentary comments about Alex from our guests. We wholeheartedly recommend Alex for your next celebration! Thanks Alex!!

Working with Garden in the Pines was such a pleasure and one of the easiest parts of planning our wedding. Communication was always timely and so friendly. The multiple planning and detail meetings helped me feel confident Garden in the Pines would bring my vision to life and they absolutely did. Everything was gorgeous and better than I could have imagined.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Je Taime and hiring Alex as my coordinator. Alex was amazing from start to finish! I wasn't sure if I truly needed a coordinator but hiring Alex was one of the best decisions I made in the wedding planning process. Alex was so helpful, kind, and detail-oriented, which is exactly what I was hoping for. I knew it was a match when she told me she actually got married at the same venue. It really allowed all of us to enjoy the day. Anytime I needed anything throughout the day, Alex was always there to assist, ready and willing! Thank you, Alex
