Awarded Best of Zola
When we first looked into hiring a DJ, we thought it was as simple as picking someone to play music and get the dance floor going. But we were impressed with how much more there was to it, and Collins Entertainment had it all covered from start to finish! There were so many details that we had not considered, like doing a "farewell dance" towards the end of the night. They also offered perspectives that we had not considered, like the benefits of doing wedding party introductions since we had not done programs. Because there is a team of DJs and they take incredible notes, it also means that there is a seamless transition in case of any emergencies. Our original DJ had a family medical emergency, but his colleague was able to step in without missing a beat (pun intended). We highly recommend!

Abby Lauren Makeup and Hair was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding day. From our initial consultation, their communication was fast, helpful, and thorough, addressing all of my questions and concerns.

Shukhrat Kamalov Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Serves Douglaston, NY

Hey there, I’m Shukhrat, a proud husband, a father and an artist. My love for photography started about fifteen years ago with photojournalism. Today, I continue to utilize my skills in capturing beautiful wedding and portrait moments that evoke the same emotions as the real moment. My photography style is diverse and has been refined over the years to showcase my creative vision. I am all about creating stunning, timeless artwork that truly captures the essence of a moment in true to life colors.

Shukhrat and his wife Rachel just shot our June 8th wedding and we couldn't be happier. They were amazing to work with and the photos are phenomenal! About the pictures: Shukhrat is versatile and very skilled. When we took our engagement photos he provided us with various styles of photos and editing, and then used our feedback to guide the photos he took at our wedding. He is also flexible. We got married in a city park and there were wayyyy more people in the park than we were expecting at 6:00pm at night. Without missing any of the candid details or true-to-life colors that we wanted, Shukhrat was able to frame the photos and/or alter the lighting so that the park goers were barely visible in the background. Both Shukhrat and Rachel are also very skilled at giving direction when needed, but letting you do your own thing the rest of the time. Neither my husband nor I have a lot of experience in front of a camera—they gave us enough direction to feel confident, without making us feel stifled or overly posed. We wanted photos that felt organic and genuine, and they were really able to capture that. Working with Shukhrat and Rachel: The two of them were a dream to work with. Incredibly professional--very communicative, punctual, quick turnaround time on photos. And they are also just lovely people. You spend so much time on your wedding day with your photographers, it's really important to feel comfortable with them, and we certainly did. They brought both a fun, but calming energy, easing our pre-wedding jitters before the ceremony, and leaning into the excitement as the night went on. Although we hardly know them, they felt like friends. We are so glad we booked Shukhrat for our wedding!

We booked Sound Society for our wedding last month after seeing them perform at a wedding band showcase and WOW did they deliver!!! We ended up booking Sound Society as a three piece string arrangement for our ceremony and as a 10-piece band for our reception with emcee duties and they hit it out of the park. Every part of the process was simple and organized-- Neil from their team helped us choose special songs for the ceremony, tailor our do-not-plays and must-plays for the evening, and plotted out speaking cues throughout the night. A month later and we are still getting compliments about how alive our wedding band was! I spent two solid hours grooving on the dance floor and have no doubt you would do the same if you booked Sound Society.

Hazel & Spice Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Douglaston, 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.

Rosehip Social Florist 

5.0

  • Florist
  • Starts at $150 per arrangement
  • Serves Douglaston, NY

All of us here at Rosehip have been influenced by a lifelong love of nature and gardening, anything blooming and leaves of all types. We love what we do, and we love how flowers can bring so much joy and happiness to any space. Even something as simple as a small bud vase. We’ve been growing and working hard. Our lovely and amazingly hard working crew has been studying, building and even becoming arial scissor lift certified, so that we can hang greenery and flower installations from any ceiling and beam! True love of flowers and plants has led us to this life, and we can’t wait to share this passion with you! Come by, say hi!

Rosehip Social did my florals for my November 2024 wedding at the Wythe Hotel and WOW did they deliver! When I'd booked with them the year prior based on photos of their work I'd seen, I had just provided a general vibe and color scheme and trusted them to do their thing. A few weeks before the wedding I visited their shop for a table scape preview and we were able to go through specific flower types and colors and finalize some details. I ultimately ended up giving them some general guidances-- include yellows, oranges, and whites, not too fall-inspired, retro feel, tons of baby's breath-- and then let them do their thing. We ended up including a full floral ceiling installation which made the space feel magical. Everything from our bouquets to boutineers, to table scapes were expertly crafted and could've been from the fanciest celebrity wedding out there. The team was collaborative and helpful around making my budget stretch, moving pieces around the venue at different times of the night, and working with the venue's install team. Lauren and Pola from Rosehip are complete professionals and worth the premium if you want the most gorgeous florals in town. I will 100% be recommending Rosehip to friends and would book them again in a heartbeat!

At Tino Photography, our style is a combination of photojournalism (candid), portrait and editorial photography. Our hope is that the images we create will speak volumes – about who our clients are as people, about relationships between newly married couples and about the subtle nuances of everyday life. Our goal is to provide you with a documentary-based illustration of your wedding day with guiding or posing when necessary. It’s not our intention to just “make pretty pictures”, but to truly make images that capture the relationship between two people in love.

Highly recommend Tino Photography services. On our special wedding day the word that kept coming to my head and the word I kept saying to my husband was PROFESSIONAL. Our team consisted of Tino, Ericka (his wife) and Adam the videographer. The three of them were so professional and helped lead the way to capture all the special moments. We met Tino at one of our venue's showcase and that was when we noticed his humbleness and thoughtfulness in his career. We were informed well and throughly as well as any and all questions were answered at our consultation. Leading up to our special day the company sent very helpful emails with tips and tricks to make our busy day run smoothly. They also provided a list of items to have ready for different close and detailed shots. Our pictures came out beautiful with the different lightings and angles that they chose to do. I can't wait to see our video since our pictures were AMAZING I know the video will be out of this world. Y Tino y Ericka hablan Español! Which was essential for our family members who didn't know English much! Thank you again for everything!!! P.S: Let them take control, they absolutely know what they are doing!

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.

The cake was delicious, with each tier having its own flavor like strawberries and cream and Oreo. The two additional tres leches cakes were also terrific, and my guests were very happy. Thank you, Erica! Everyone loved the cake and they didn't expect the different flavors - all delicious, by the way, and I ate most of the cake pops!

I began my career a decade ago. As a tour photographer, I began accompanying musicians all over the world. Little did I know at that point the low lights, high energy, and late nights would translate well into my career as a wedding photographer. My start as a music photographer gave me the confidence to navigate even the most challenging and unpredictable situations, and I use the same philosophy now while photographing weddings: keep calm, stay observant, and follow the action.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so thrilled that we managed to book Jess for our engagement photos and wedding! Beautiful photography was a priority for us, and we wanted our photos to have a genuine, documentary style feel. We wanted the photos to capture the real beauty of the day, without being too heavily edited (we hate the photographers who made everything look pastel!). Jessica was completely in line with our style. My husband and I aren’t naturals in front of the camera, but Jessica made us feel so at ease. We were never uncomfortable with Jessica, and she felt like a natural part of the day. Jessica’s photos speak for themselves. She is able to create stunning visuals, but most impressively, Jess captures emotion in all of her photographs. At our wedding, Jessica and her assistant Kat were always present, but never intrusive. I feel like she is a photography ninja—I don’t even remember seeing her at certain moments, and yet there are beautiful photos of everything. No detail or moment was missed. From the day we worked with Jess on our engagement photos, we knew we were in more than capable hands. I am so impressed with Jessica’s ability to find unique spaces and framing for our photos—some of my favorite photos are in front of everyday places, but with Jessica’s eye they are turned into beautiful works of art. Because she did such a fantastic job with our engagement photos, we had no worries at all on our wedding day. One of Jess’ strengths is her background working as a photographer on music tours. Put her in any type of lighting or setting, and she has the technical skills and experience to create something amazing. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Jess’ professionalism—she is always early and is kind to everyone she interacts with. She is so passionate and excited about her work. Her calm, unflappable attitude made her a pleasure to be around on our wedding day. Her enthusiasm for her work is evident. She's also incredibly hardworking at every stage of the process. Jessica was able to edit our photos and got them back to us within 6 days of our wedding—that is unheard of! We love Jess and are so impressed by her! She is beyond talented and her stunning work will let us relive our wedding day whenever we want. All of our photos were fantastic—it’s hard to narrow down even our top 100 photos. We can’t thank Jess enough for capturing the joy we felt on our wedding day. I’m truly sad that our time working together is over. Jess was easily one of our favorite vendors, and we wish her all the best as she continues to grow her business! We would enthusiastically recommend that you hire Jessica for all your photography needs. Update-- My husband and I were lucky to hire Jessica again about a year after our wedding to shoot some photos of us and our new puppy. As expected, the photos came out beautifully and were delivered to us quickly!

Hi, I'm Elle! I'm passionate about capturing feelings through film, and I feel so honored any time I have the opportunity to do so in the context of a wedding or elopement. I grew up in the woods of Washington State but now call NYC home. My background is in music videos and narrative filmmaking, but I've also worked as an illustrator. When I'm not making videos, you'll find me riding my bike around the city, reading, or at the movie theater.

We truly cannot say enough great things about Elle!! Not only did she make us the wedding video of our absolute dreams, but she was literally the easiest to coordinate with, was so flexible with our one million Covid wedding changes, and was the sweetest through it all. We are so thankful to have had her capture our wedding in the perfect way. From the initial coffee meet up, to the wedding day, Elle was a pleasure to work with! She is so professional, but is also a friend to her clients as well. We love you, Elle! Thank you for giving us such a priceless gift we will treasure forever.

  • Serves Douglaston, NY

Meaghan here - I’m the one from which you’ll hear a lot of “Fuck yeah!!!” and “You guys look so hot!” My inspiration comes from our lord and savior, Janis Joplin, and my style is free movement and honesty. Howdy! I'm Brendon, a quiet Mid-Westerner turned East-Coast loud-mouth who happens to have a knack for photography, editing, graphic illustration, and all things creative. My background comes from shooting fashion shows and exclusive events for BFA.com around NYC, which made me appreciate the avant-garde.

We had a terrific experience working with Meaghan and Brendon of “Far Out Feeling.” If you’ve made it this far, you already love their style – their ability to capture both candid and staged photos artfully – and we are happy to report that the photographers have personalities to match. We loved meeting them for drinks months in advance of our wedding, which gave us a nice context for one another when the day finally came (we cannot imagine, now, not knowing our wedding photographers when they arrived to take pictures of us!) We perhaps didn’t consider how crucial this feeling of comfort was, but when you think about, you do spend a tremendous portion of your wedding day with your photographers. Meaghan and Brendon felt like friends, which made even the parts of the wedding that we don’t like (posing!) feel easy, natural, and fun. Meaghan and Brendon were incredibly responsive, from first to last. They always got back to us the day we had a question, and even weeks after our wedding, they were responding to our technical difficulties within minutes. And the photos themselves turned out great! Again, you’ve probably seen evidence of this already. We cannot wait to print them, frame them, and, in all likelihood, post them relentlessly to our Instagram stories. A huge thank you to Meaghan and Brendon, who we recommend whole-heartedly.

Constellation is the caterer for numerous venues throughout the Philadelphia area, with unique locations from raw industrial spaces and lively concert halls to historic houses and iconic museums, and also offers in-home and office catering. Our dedicated team forms strong connections both inside our organization and with our clients, and these connections define us. Together, we bring restaurant-quality outside of restaurants, serving everything from intimate weddings to non-profit galas. We’ve built a culinary group that does what restaurants always have: get people talking—and daydreaming—about food, long after their last bite.

When we signed on with Constellation to cater our wedding, we had high expectations based on their stellar reputation alone, and they far exceeded our expectations on every level. During the year-long planning process, Brittany and her team were wonderful to work with; they were responsive from start to finish and very accomodating of our requests to ensure everything matched our vision from rentals to service to food. We had a backyard wedding so food service was anything but standard. They were flexible and nimble enough to service out of a barn (!) and a garage and somehow pulled it all off without a hitch. And, of course, the food was incredible. The cocktail hour spread with passed hors d'oeuvres and stations was a showstopper and I'm still dreaming about (and trying to emulate) our beautiful dual entree. Thank you to Brittany and the entire Constellation team for helping to make our wedding day perfect!

A Parisian transplant based in Brooklyn, I fell into with wedding photography very randomly on a New Year's Eve and it was an instant match for me. Since then, I've shot weddings in all sorts of venues from massive mansions to art galleries in New-York, Paris, the French Riviera, Scotland, and Portugal. When I'm not shooting weddings, you'll find me at home with my cat and husband, or travelling across the world. 30 countries and counting!

I am so glad we chose Carole as our wedding photographer!! She was very communicative and down to earth. By the time the wedding came along, even though we hadn’t met, I already felt like I knew her. She put my husband and I at ease (we’re both awkward in front of a camera) and had amazing ideas for poses and shooting locations. The photos we’ve received so far are absolutely stunning, we couldn’t be happier!

After fifteen years in theatre and television production, Kate O’Donnell Diaz discovered a love for planning events but wanted to do so with a different approach from what other planners were taking.

The literal and financial waste she witnessed going into weddings because of something “someone” said the couple HAD to have made Kate feel incredibly uncomfortable.

Hot 8 Brass Band is a 2022 Grammy-winning New Orleans based brass band, whose sound draws on the traditional jazz heritage of New Orleans, alongside more modern styles including elements of funk, hip hop, rap, and its local variation, “bounce.” Transcending genres and trends, Hot 8 have performed & collaborated with the likes of Jon Batiste, Blind Boys of Alabama, Basement Jaxx, Alice Russell and George Ezra, provided live support for Mos Def, Lauryn Hill & Mary J Blige. Our 2nd album ‘The Life and Times Of...’ was nominated for a Grammy in 2013 and won a Grammy in 2022 for our work on ‘Album of the Year’ winner, Jon Batiste’s ‘WE ARE’.

The Grammy Winning Hot 8 Brass Band provided an exceptional experience for our wedding. Their communication was professional, clear, and consistent throughout the planning process. The quality of their work exceeded our already high expectations - they delivered two amazing live sets across our venue in a single evening, giving our guests a world-class performance and service that felt like we had "brass royalty" at our event. We were thrilled with how they contributed to making our special day truly unforgettable.

Mikkel Paige Photography doesn't simply take photos - she creates them. She'll laugh and joke with you to get those smiles going to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera so you’re free to be yourselves. Her vibrant photos resonate with couples who gravitate towards color and the details. Mikkel is an avid traveler and will go any distance to capture love and work with fun-loving couples, from the Caribbean, to California, Walt Disney World, Norway and beyond.

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I decided to hire Mikkel because of the beautiful photos taken at my wife’s sister’s wedding! The glowing reviews she has from her past clients couldn’t be more true. Mikkel is professional, organized, compassionate, and treats you as if you were her own sister/family member. She truly cares about the couple’s experience and takes that into account from the moment you have your initial meeting with her. My wife and I were worried about being awkward in front of the camera, but mikkel put us at ease and made the entire process fun, guiding us to be ourselves and encouraging us to get lost in the moment! During the twists and turns of our wedding weekend, Mikkel never showed a sign of concern (regarding the tropical storm headed our way), but always stayed positive, assuring us that we would have the most beautiful memories no matter the weather! We can’t recommend mikkel enough! She is an immeasurable addition to your wedding day experience and will leave you with stunning and lasting memories to enjoy for the rest of your life!

Chaz Cruz specializes in editorial portraiture and weddings. His style and humor brings out unique characteristics in his subjects which turn the photograph into something unique. Always looking at new ways to use found and created light, he enjoys producing new photographs that otherwise would not be encountered.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were looking for a bright, editorial look for our wedding photography, and fell in love with the images we had seen from Chaz Cruz. 

Chaz was incredibly easy to work with - always so prompt in his replies, happy to answer questions, and had an amazingly detailed questionaire for us to fill out ahead of the wedding so that both he and his team knew exactly what we were after. The timeline he provided was also perfect, and left us knowing that our day would go smoothly! Although Chaz himself was not available to shoot our day, we won the lottery when we hired his associate, Celeste. Not only is she a true artist (we just received our huge sneak peek and every image is amazing) but she brought us so much joy. She was so much fun to be around all day, directed our family with such ease, charm, and efficiency during family portraits (what a gift), and was the perfect ‘fly on the wall’ when she needed to be. She is so skilled at capturing not just beautiful portraits, but incredible candid moments. We feel so lucky to have been able to work with both Chaz and Celeste for our wedding at the Wythe and can’t recommend them enough!

Makeup is a passion and listening and understanding my clients needs are something that I take a lot of pride in. Making them feel beautiful and confident on one of most important days of their lives is truly an honor.

I had my makeup done with Rosy from faith & beauty and I have to say, it was a relaxing experience! I loved how professional, organized and clean she was throughout the entire process as someone who does not wear makeup often. I appreciated all the information and step by step she took with applying certain products and her explanations to why my skin needed it! Rosy knows what she is doing and I would recommend her for any beauty/skincare service.

I wish I had my parents' wedding day captured on film. I would have loved to see how they interacted with each other on the day they celebrated their union. How nervous with excitement they were when they spoke their vows; how they arrived to the church; the look on my grandfather's face as he walked my mother down the aisle. ​ Moments such as these are valuable family histories because as generations move along, memories of past events evaporate. This is why wedding films are important and why I love creating them.

Awarded Best of Zola
The Day Of Company loves working with Valerie Barnes Film. I have worked with Valerie Barnes Film both as a Coordinator and also as a Bridesmaid! Working along side Valerie and her team as a vendor is always a great experience - they are professional and super easy to work with, always going with the flow and cool with keeping on time. As a Bridesmaid, I've also been on the other end of the camera and Valerie and her team are clear, creative, and super nice to work with. As well as reasonable for budgets. Highly recommend!

Dawn has been producing creative events in New York and California for over 15 years. You’ll most often catch this bi-coastal party maker biking around Greenpoint, BK or in her home state of California loading up on burritos and baseball games.

As a photographer who has documented over 300 weddings, I have worked with my fair share of planners - and there is nobody I get more excited to work with than Dawn and her extraordinary team. Not only does she do a SPECTACULAR job creating fun, interesting, and cool custom designs while also managing all of her clients’ needs, she also is so on top of managing all her fellow vendors respectfully and effectively. She has always been the best in Brooklyn (that’s why she is on almost every preferred vendor list in town!!!) and now that she is bicoastal in LA, too, she gets to expand her absolutely amazing business - but also that means you should book her ASAP before somebody else nabs her.

Clean Plate Pictures began when Erica Beckman left her fancy Photo Editor job at The Wall Street Journal to photograph happy couples full-time - guess what? Weddings are way more fun. Erica earned her degree in photography and uses her twenty years of experience in the industry to bring exacting editorial standards and creative excellence to all her work. Her documentary style captures genuine emotions and artfully records events as they unfold organically.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we booked Clean Plate Pictures, we were impressed with their communication and responsiveness. Erica was always open to our suggestions and worked closely with us to ensure they captured our day perfectly. Her impeccable attention to detail and great eye for the perfect shot were evident in every photo. She was able to herd our many relatives to make the family shoot less stressful, and even made the slightly janky Hyatt Place look elegant in the getting-ready photos. Erica was so friendly and had a strong expertise on the best shots for our venue. We were thrilled that Erica was willing to travel to New York City to shoot our engagement photos as well. We absolutely loved working with Erica (and Elle the second shoot, a dream!) and would highly recommend Clean Plate Pictures to any couple looking for professional, talented, and personable wedding photographers.
