Pretty Posh Events 

5.0

  • Florist
  • Starts at $8,000
  • Serves Essex Fells, NJ

Pretty Posh Events is a boutique event planning and design company, serving mainly the tri-state area. Owner Abby’s love for fashion and all things design, along with her passion for creative expression led to the creation of Pretty Posh Events. After years of designing and coordinating events for friends and family, Abby decided it was time to turn this passion into a business.

It was such a pleasure to work with Abby and Pretty Posh Events! Abby was our month of coordinator/ florist for my backyard wedding ceremony in July 2023. As an out of state bride, Abby worked with me over the phone and email throughout the planning process to design the event, and worked around my schedule to visit the sight. Abby had such a great vision for my grandma's backyard (the venue) and assured us throughout the process that it would come out beautifully...and it sure did! Every detail was well-thought out and unique to us. She recommended other vendors (B&B party rentals), as well as had connections through friends. Specifically, she worked with a graphic designer to create stunning metallic menu cards, and wrapped the bar in our wedding stationary. I look forward to working with Abby again for future events!!!

Liesl NYC 

4.7

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Essex Fells, NJ

Hi! I’m Liesl, founder of Liesl nyc. I started my career at an old time photo tourist trap in South Dakota and came to the big city to be a fashion photographer (with a few stops along the way.) Though I found a love for portraits and weddings and made that my focus, I’ve kept the editorial aesthetic. Though I’ve lived in Brooklyn for 15 years I’ve kept the South Dakota demeanor. A calm and comfortable presence helps a lot when you’re not used to being followed around by a photographer. Getting great pictures shouldn’t be intimidating. It’ll be way more fun than you think

We had a wonderful experience working with Alexis from Photo Pink. Alexis was professional and the perfect mix of go with the flow while making sure she got the best shots! My only complaint would be that it did take a long time to get the photos and we had to follow up with Liesl a few times about when to expect them. She always responded to those messages promptly though and tried to keep us updated about when we would get our gallery. It was well worth the wait because the photos are exactly what we wanted! Would definitely recommend Photo Pink@

Sava Weddings

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Essex Fells, NJ

We (Melissa & Michael) became wedding photographers because we truly believe we have something different to bring to the table. Our goals are simple: to help you relive each moment of your wedding day every time you look at your images, make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and blend into the crowd like we're your guests. We pride ourselves on open & honest communication with our couples, a seamless booking-through-wedding-day process, super speedy photo delivery, and lending a helping hand in any way we can.

This review is long overdue and well deserved. If you only have time to read one more sentence: Hire Melissa and be confident that you will get the photos and vision you want on your special day! We partnered with Melissa at Sava Studio for our wedding this past September and she shot, composed and edited our engagement photos as well. Melissa as a vendor is responsive, friendly, knowledgeable, creative and gregarious. She was always open and transparent with us, patient listening to what we thought we wanted and our vision and was always available to offer feedback as we requested. She walked us through the entire wedding process with respect to the photography aspect and she also offered assistance as we needed in related areas as we got closer to our wedding date. Our first interaction with her was our engagement photo shoot and Melissa made my partner and I feel comfortable while she was shooting and she was very flexible in the shots we wanted to take and what we wanted to see. Very importantly for me, Melissa has a great eye for a memorable photo! Getting to see the raw photos as well as the edited ones Melissa showed us her talent and professionalism. We shot in bright sunlight, shade and darker areas and Melissa was able to handle it all. Our wedding was a few months later at our parents house and the area that the ceremony took place in was unique in that there were a lot of trees/shadows/light patterns to manage. Melissa handled it all! She and her partner used every trick in the book to get the best photos of my wife and I and were able to take some classic natural/unposed shots of us. It speaks to her professionalism and vision that she knew where to be and when to get the best shots! Post-wedding, Melissa had us a sizable preview to review almost 24 hours after the wedding so she could collect feedback before sending us our final photo collection. Once sent, Melissa/Sava made it very easy for us to share photos with family and friends and access them in the future for when we wanted to reminisce. We can't thank Melissa enough and we recommend Melissa at Sava for all of your photography needs!

La Mila Catering & Events 

5.0

  • Caterer
  • Serves Essex Fells, NJ

Starting their careers in the restaurant and food industry, Elie & Heidi Hanna decided to utilize their unique experiences and create their own vision of a full service event company. La Mila is named after their daughter, Milana, who provides them with limitless inspiration and motivation.

This review is a tad long so bear with me. I worked with La Mila Catering for my sister’s wedding which was held on 27 July 2024. While planning my wedding a few years ago I knew what to expect and what questions to ask. What I didn’t expect was working with such a lovely and genuine team. I worked with Sandy specifically for catering services only. She’s spunky, lively, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Working with her has been a pleasure and I felt as if I were talking to one of my best friends. Sandy is a great salesperson. She not only explains what La Mila offers but she does it in a way that is transparent and has no unexpected costs and “fine print”. She communicates well and is direct, which I appreciate. She’s a talker and I don’t mean that negatively. She makes you feel like family most sincerely. In terms of planning and coordination, Sandy was excellent and they’re lucky to have her. Menu: When creating the menu my sister wanted Mediterranean food. Now, I believe that their specialty is Mediterranean cuisine, but they do not shy away from other cuisines. Their menu is extensive and will cater to anyone’s taste. Skies the limit! We had quite a bit of offerings for Cocktail hour, Dinner, and Dessert. We were able to have a tasting which helped us narrow down if what was selected previously was what they wanted for the day of the wedding. There we met Elie (E-Lee NOT El-lee) and Heidi, the owners, and Sandy in person. Elie is the head chef and knows what he’s doing in the kitchen. Everything was cooked to perfection; delicious tasting and the portions were filling. Aside from the food it was obvious that Elie and Heidi work hard for their business and are truly dedicated. Day of the wedding: Elie, Heidi and their team worked based on the wedding timeline that I created. They were on time to serve all their food. I can’t tell you how many times I saw Elie walking back and forth to check on food and to bring food. That guy was moving! Heidi did all of the cocktail and dessert table placement and more. They are a hardworking team and I highly recommend them. From start to finish it was easy and perfectly executed. Point blank the food was delicious and I wish they had a restaurant so I could eat there all the time. LOL Thank you again for your friendship, delicious food and professionalism. *I wish I took pictures.

When I first began my career as a makeup artist, I came across the OMAK philosophy which’s kick-started a series of learning, changes and self-improvement. OMAK is an acronym that stands for "Observe Merits and Appreciate Kindness"; it is a positive way of thinking that encourages one to see, recognize and appreciate the good qualities of others.Hence, makeup means much more than it is a delivery of personal beauty makeup Concept !

  • Serves Essex Fells, NJ

Weddings are celebrations that are full of emotion and romance all in a highly dynamic environment. Wedding photographs are timeless and irreplaceable so as a photographer, I feel I have a great responsibility at hand. I try my best to work with clients on their needs, provide flexible coverage hours and I work within their budgets. I am drawn to those unguarded candid moments. I attempt to portray an artistic feel that reveals feelings of emotion onto the viewer. Be it a gaze, a beaming smile, tears of joy or a blurred image to depict movement my goal is communication. It is these moments along with many others I feel should be captured.

Jose is fantastic! He has so much experience and very professional. Before our wedding day, he always had quick and clear communication. We loved his artistic eye and dramatic style of photography. He knows how to give good direction for those that aren’t used to posing or being photographed, and was always looking for the next shot. He definitely lets you be you and can still get amazing shots. We were surprised at how quickly we got to preview our gallery. After the wedding day, I realized that there was so much I didn’t get to document personally to remember the details from that day. But after seeing some of the shots, Jose had made me so happy to see how much he documented from the day! I highly recommend Jose :)

You know those first few months that you fall in love & everything is so wonderful & terrifying & just so damn GOOD? It's that “new love” feeling & I’ve never been able to replicate that feeling with anything else, except photography. Your wedding day tells the story of your love. From that “new love” to the more comfortable kind, it is the culmination of all those moments leading up to “I do.” I consider myself the narrator of that day, telling that story and documenting your connection through my photographs.

Jenny is an absolutely wonderful person and amazing photographer. So kind, friendly, organized and talented. She is a pleasure to work with always. She listens to your needs, guides you through the process, and delivers work that showcases all of the love and fun of your day.

I’m Cass, and I truly LOVE what I do! Everyone has a story; my lifelong love for creativity and background in the Arts have played a huge role in developing my own personal photography style and it's made me who I am today! Born and raised in the gorgeous Hudson Valley, I've always loved being outdoors. Incorporating the beauty of nature and landscapes into my work is one of my favorite things!

Do not wait to book Cassondre! She made everything so easy for us leading up to our day as well as made my wedding day go so smoothly!! So professional and organized, she was so easy to talk to and totally understood the look we were going for. My family and friends are still raving about how beautiful our pictures came out, and I will cherish them forever!

I'm Alex. I spend my free time with my husband and our dogs Conor & Belle. I'm lucky to live in the Hudson Valley surrounded by amazing nature and upstate lifestyle. Art is something that I fell in love with at a young age and has always carried me through life- it lead me to photography. The mixture of art and emotion is one of the things I love most about wedding photography. When you look through your collection of photos I want you to feel and see the emotion, love and fun you had on your best day ever.

Alex is AMAZING. Her photos left us in awe — I was so impressed by how she listened to my vision and adapted her style accordingly. Most of all, though, Alex excels in all things related to running a business — she’s prompt in email responses, professional with her contracts and payment process, and goes above and beyond to connect you with resources for a successful day (a last minute coordinator, in my case). This is what really sets her apart from other vendors in my opinion. Run, don’t walk, to hire Alex for your wedding!

When I went to college I knew I wanted to have a career that allowed me to work with people and so I studied Social Work and Psychology! Photography was a hobby but when my friend found her self with no photographer days before her wedding, she asked if I could shoot her day and from the first wedding I was hooked! 11 years later and I think I have the best job on the planet. I have been married to the love of my life Jordan for 6 years now and she is the extra magic in Swiger Photography. We have a lil rescue pup named Furgie and spend our free time trying new bourbons and exploring Philadelphia!

Swiger Photography was the only vendor we didn’t have to think about. Having previously worked with Amanda during a mini-session we knew right away that we had to book her. We felt comfortable with her posing, free to be ourselves and completely respected. Nothing was ever pushed on us to try to “up sell” and we never felt we were getting handled or ignored. We’re really lucky to have had Amanda and her team there to celebrate with us on our wedding day and are crazy lucky to now call them friends. We love Swiger Photography!

I would highly recommend Lightmaster Studios for any photography needs. Shawn photographed our engagement session as well as our wedding ceremony and reception. He was very personable and made us feel comfortable. He was also very professional and listened to what we wanted in our photos. Scheduling was simple, Carrie was very friendly in her commutations and responded quickly to any questions we had along the way. We love how all our photos and video came out in the end and enjoyed sharing them with family and friends. Overall wonderful experience!

I found my passion for art while growing up surrounded by horses in a small town in Brazil. The shapes, textures, and colors of the horses always have been inspiring to me. I’ve always wanted to recreate them, but was never really able to. Honestly, my painting/drawing skills were and still are terrible, and that’s when photography came up in my life. I would create imaginary cameras out of my toys and would ‘photograph’ the horses and my neighbors. Photographing people became my passion and then evolved into my work in editorial and wedding photography.

We were looking for the perfect person to take photos of our family and when we came across photos by 98 New York Co. we knew we had to make a session. Gui made our visions come to life and not only made me and my fiancé comfortable, but our kids had so much fun as well! I cannot wait for our next session with Gui for our engagement photos as well as our wedding! Gui is the only photographer we will use for any future moments we want to capture. Absolutely beautiful photography!

Hey there, I'm Joy! Years from now when you look at your wedding photographs, I want all of the memories and emotions to come flooding back: the joy, the love, and the laughter. It’s so easy to live our lives, missing the sweetest moments because how quickly they fly by. Those sweet in-between moments that can be so easily missed are my favorite to capture. Whether it be your candid smiles, the tears shed on your wedding day, or your beautiful family laughing together, I find joy in capturing you being YOU! I love photography because through it, I’m able to share pieces of your story and create lasting memories.

Joy is an amazing photographer! Super organized, great communicator, and her professionalism creates a comfortable environment for everyone involved. Watching her journey from the beginning has been inspiring - the hustle is real.
