Serenity Event Planning

  • Planner
  • Offers 7 services
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Elizabeth, NJ

Our business is a professional service that specializes in organizing and coordinating weddings with special attention to detail and an in-depth understanding of the wedding industry. Our wedding planners help couples navigate through the entire wedding process. From selecting venues and vendors to managing timelines and budgets, they ensure that every aspect of the wedding is well-executed and memorable. By providing personalized guidance and expertise, wedding planners alleviate stress and allow couples to enjoy their special day fully.

I was skeptical about hiring a wedding planner because I wanted to do everything myself, but I’m so glad we went with Serenity Event Planning! We couldn’t have pulled off our special day without Janet as our day-of coordinator. In the months leading up to our wedding, Janet was in constant communication with me and made a point to check-in to make sure I was feeling stress free throughout the duration of the planning process. She answered my texts any time of day or night! Janet’s close attention to details, ideas, patience and hard work are what sets her apart from the rest. I showed her pictures of what I envisioned for my décor on the big day and she executed flawlessly. I didn’t think it was possible, but she brought my ideas to life even better than I could have expected. It was a HUGE sigh of relief arriving to the venue and seeing all of the décor, tables, and miscellaneous items set up hours before our ceremony was set to begin. Throughout the evening, Janet made sure to see that I was enjoying the evening and always had a drink in my hand. She worked exceptionally well with the wedding party and the other vendors I had hired and made sure that the night flowed smoothly. Even if you’re doing DIY décor, florals, etc. like I did and think you don’t need a day-of coordinator, I’m here to tell you that you absolutely DO. Our day would not have went as smoothly as it did without the support of our amazing coordinator, Janet. Thank you, Serenity Event Planning for going above and beyond to make my wedding day absolutely perfect and stress free!

My partner and I are known for being the life of the party, so when we got married we knew it had to the most epic party we’ve ever done. We found Michael’s website and scheduled a free consultation. Michael was kind, and very thorough. He asked about our vision for the day, and was really focused on what we wanted which made us feel very comfortable and confident that he would deliver on our expectations. And let me tell you…did he DELIVER! First, the setup was clean and intentional, he did not overlook even the slightest detail. Our introductions were none traditional and he nailed it! After our first dances and dinner it was time to crank it up, and for the rest of the night EVERYONE was on the dance floor. I don’t even think we said hi to everyone that came…I’m talking music thumping, lights flashing, banger after banger being played!! The absolute BEST night of our lives! I need a DJ like Mikie J just for everyday use. We are still getting compliments from our guests… so if you’re reading this, and you want to make sure you have the time of your lives, you’ve found your guy!

My family and bridal party were impressed with how organized she was and how she was able to keep everyone in line when it came time for family and bridal party pictures. They also commented on how she took the time to try and learn everybody’s name so that way she was calling everyone out by name to get into photos.

Mushmouth 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $8,000
  • Serves Elizabeth, NJ

Mushmouth plays every show like it's Madison Square Garden! Lead singer Bill's energy is off the charts - a mix of Bruce Springsteen, Mick, Jagger, James Brown and a sprinkle of David Byrne all rolled into one! The band, a group of longtime friends, pulls off note for note renditions of all the songs while also adding to the on-stage fun. The Mushmouth show consists of big hits, one hit wonders and lost nuggets from the 70's, 80's, 90's and beyond. From Glen Campbell to the FOO FIGHTERS, Duran Duran to Eric Church.

Mushmouth is an absolutely incredible band—they had people asking us all night (and still to this day) how I found them. I think I turned quite a few of our wedding guests into Mushmouth groupies! From the beginning they were very accommodating, always quick to respond and accommodating to our song requests. They have a huge set list to select from no matter what your taste is, and they even learned new songs just for us so that we could do our first dance with live music. It really felt like we were part of a live concert just for us at our wedding. They sound so amazing and not only are they truly talented musicians, but they are also incredible performers who got everyone to dance and sing along. I received compliments all night that they were the best cover band anyone had ever heard. Mushmouth made our wedding day extra special, and I would book them again in a heartbeat.

I reside in Jersey City, New Jersey, serving New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and beyond. I grew up surrounded by family photos. My parents had a professional photography business, Infinity Photography, back in the days of film. My friend asked me to do her senior portraits, so I started my photography business after my parent's business was closed for nearly 20 years. Fun fact, I chose "Grey" because I'm a nerd, and I love Jean Grey - she's my fave X-men. Also, my name is hard to spell, especially when you hear it. It's like "Leah" with a "Tuh."

Taliya gave us the absolute best wedding photography experience. She was extremely professional and quick to answer any questions at any point along the way. She made sure every detail was arranged before hand so there were 0 surprises along the way and day of. Not to mention that the photos turned out phenomenal. She was great at posing and framing to get the best shots and made sure that everything got pictured and captured from our special day. Would recommend 100%

I don’t even know where to begin to explain how absolutely amazing the Grand was for the best night of our lives. We attended a wedding for close friends here two years ago, immediately fell in love with the Grand and knew this was where we wanted to get married. Fast forward to our engagement; from the moment we first reached out, our Maitre D Sal and his team were always professional, extremely friendly, and timely in all of their communications, providing us with accurate information every step of the way. The quality of their work was simply beautiful - the venue itself was clean, modern, and elegantly appointed, creating the perfect backdrop for our special day. Sal, Manny, Evelina and the entire team at The Grand went above and beyond to ensure our wedding ran smoothly, and our guests have been raving for days about the massive cocktail hour, the exceptional quality of the food, and the stunning ballroom and all other facilities. We have had a bunch of friends and family reach out to tell us that this was the best wedding they have ever been to. The attention to detail is simply unmatched. We have been to at least 20 weddings and cannot compare the Grand to anything else in the tri-state area. We really could not have asked for a better venue to celebrate our marriage. We HIGHLY recommend the Grand and we cannot wait to go back as guests again.

I'm a wife, a mom and a New Jersey wedding photographer!! I love Jesus! I really really love to travel!!! And I'm the one who always plan the vacations. My favorite food is Italian. If I had to choose between the beach or snow, you will definitely see me jumping into the water!! I have a degree in Accounting and Finance and I love to create budgets. I was born in Cuba, so my first language is Spanish, lived in Colombia for a few years and my plan is to get old in the United States.

Sarai came recommended in a wedding group I was in, and we could not have been more pleased with our decision to hire her for our intimate courthouse wedding. From our very first interaction, Sarai was incredibly responsive, friendly, and collaborative in helping us plan the perfect November morning around lower Manhattan. My husband and I have varying degrees of comfort with pictures, yet she was able to capture both staged shots and joyful, candid moments that made our wedding day so memorable. Sarai took the time to get to know us as a couple and brought out our goofy, playful sides without even trying. She went above and beyond anything we could have imagined, delivering the best value for the incredible quality of her work. Sarai is not only an incredibly talented photographer, but a genuinely kind and personable human being. We cannot recommend Sari Photography highly enough for any couple looking to document their wedding day with beautiful, timeless imagery.

The North Shore House holds a special place in our hearts- they helped make our wedding day the literal BEST DAY EVER. From start to finish, we couldn't have been happier! Emma and the rest of the staff were timely with communication, SUPER organized, helpful with details, and so attentive. Emma was truly a rockstar point person- we can't rave about her enough! The space speaks for itself: the outdoor space perfectly amplifies the natural beauty of the lake, and the indoor space is cozy, warm, and inviting- a perfect place to dance the night away! The food was amazing (must get the pistachio crusted lamb chops), and the wait staff was the most helpful. We have been to the restaurant several times before, so knew the food was delicious, but our guests couldn't stop mentioning how tasty everything was! Some bullet points of things we LOVED: -the hotel rooms are cozy, individual, and inviting, with space for all the hotel guests to chill and hang out -North Shore picked us up from my parent's lake house on the other side of the lake in their 2 pontoon boats, and we had a blast riding to the ceremony -everything was meticulously set up, from the beautiful white chairs to the signs we had made -Can't stress how beautiful the outdoor ceremony was -My husband and I scheduled 5 minutes alone together in the bocce ball quart after the ceremony during cocktail hour, and the staff had pre set a plate of hors d'ouvres and 2 cocktails there for us so we didn't miss any of the food -One of the waitresses told my husband and I at the start of the night that she was going to make sure we ate enough and drank enough water throughout the night- she was so sweet, and several times made sure we had cocktails and champagne. -The dance floor was big enough for all of our friends and family to dance- we were on the floor the entire night! - We used all of the North Shore House's preferred vendors (Platinum Band, Karen's Kreations, Orchard Street photography, Stocker Bus) and couldn't have been happier with their suggestions -We did an after party in the back bar- super fun! If you want a beautiful venue with picture perfect outdoor space, cozy indoor space, delicious food, super helpful personnel, and overall GREAT vibes, book North Shore House!

Who better to photograph your experiences than a husband and wife team who understands the importance of this day. And the moments that shape it.

Ishan & Preeti Ishan Fotografi were the perfect photographers for our wedding day. From the very beginning, their communication style was timely, thoughtful, and comprehensive, which put us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - their photos were beautiful, professional, and perfectly balanced, capturing all the special moments of our wedding in a way that felt natural and authentic, while also getting all the family shots and formal portraits. They worked with us to reschedule our engagement photos when we had weather issues, and really listened to our ideas for the couple portraits, helping us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Ishan & Preeti have an amazing ability to build rapport and make you feel at ease, which was invaluable on our big day. We are thrilled with the final photos and couldn't recommend them more highly!

  • Starts at $15,000
  • Serves Elizabeth, NJ

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
The Barnstorm isn't a "wedding" band. They're a band. A really great band. And that makes them the best wedding band, in our opinion. We went to one of their live shows before booking them to play at our wedding and we knew immediately they were perfect. The band is 7 guys who you would want to be friends with -- which makes them blend in seamlessly at a wedding. Their range of songs is awesome. Everyone raved about their playlist, including a few of our guests who are huge music snobs. They also did an awesome job of getting everyone involved. People were dancing, singing along, even getting a second or two on the mic. It was like having a private live show at our wedding, which we loved and all of our guests loved. The vibe is much better than other wedding bands we've seen. On top of that they were incredibly easy to work with and accommodating. Brooks never made us feel bad for requesting songs, no matter how random, and they learned anything we asked them to that they had the right instruments for. Overall it was an awesome experience and we could not possibly recommend them enough. If every wedding we go to in the future has Barnstorm as the band, we'll be thrilled.

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Elizabeth, NJ

Hi! My name is Nina, but my business goes by Film & Frond Photography! I’ve been passionate about photography for over a decade, and my love for the craft has only grown as I’ve delved into the world of film photography! I officially launched my business last October, and have shot several weddings on my own, as well as second shot numerous weddings along side other photographers. I provide timeless and artful documentary style photography services for weddings, elopements, and engagements/couples.

Where do we begin! Nina and Will at Film and Frond helped ensure our NYC elopement went perfectly to plan, and we can’t thank them both enough for everything! Our photos are incredible and we will treasure them forever as perfect keepsakes of our special day in NYC. As we were travelling to NYC from overseas (Scotland) we were nervous about the logistics and the risk of the weather changing. In our two Zoom calls prior to our trip, Nina was so reassuring and we made sure to cover all bases incase of a change in schedule or rain. On the day of the elopement, Nina and Will met us early in the morning at our hotel, and were the perfect companions for us venturing round NYC for photos before our City Hall Ceremony. They are both the sweetest, most authentic people and there was zero awkwardness. Both my husband and I were a little nervous about being in the front of the camera, but with Nina’s help we forgot we were being photographed at all and simply enjoyed the day. We love the photos which have been delivered, such a beautiful variety of shots in Dumbo, at Brooklyn Bridge, City Hall and in Soho. Opening our full gallery was like being back in New York, and took us right back to the magic of the day. Nina and Will, we cannot thank you enough not only for your insane photography skills but for being such fantastic people to spend our elopement with! You helped make the day what it was and we are forever grateful you’ve helped preserve our memories so beautifully. We cannot recommend Film and Frond highly enough!

12/10. Having Maggie at our wedding made the experience even more incredible than we could've ever imagined. The biggest highlight was having photos and videos to look back on within about 12 hours. Before we were even really feeling like people again I was already scrolling through our shared album and reliving the best night of my life. Maggie made everyone around us comfortable too. She explained what she would be doing and how we could/should interact with her. For some things it was candid, others more posed and it was so easy to take direction from her. If you’re looking for a content creator or you’re on the fence about hiring one .. DO IT and make sure it’s Magdrop Creations, there is no chance you’d ever regret it.
