I Speak Hair 

5.0

  • Beauty professional
  • Serves Essex Fells, NJ

I’ve been in the beauty industry for 14 years. I’ve excelled in many different angles from cutting, coloring, extensions, styling & more. Bridal/Formal styling has given me a sense of fun & excitement from the moment I’m packing my bridal kit to the moment she’s headed out the doors. I genuinely love every experience of what I do!

Shannette arrived at 8:15a.m. and she worked from the moment she arrived. She was absolutely Amazing and extremely Professional. She did 12 girls hair and everyone looked stunning. She brought what everyone wanted to life. Everyone was beyond pleased with the Amazing job that she did. I hired Shannette in 2019 thinking my wedding would be in 2020 due to Covid we had to postpone and she still stayed by my side. I entrusted her work I didn’t even do a trial. I always wanted to look like a princess for my special day and she went above and beyond to make my dreams come true. I was nervous about doing the style that I always dream of and she assured me it would stay perfect all night and did. Shannette came to the venue with me and touched up everyone’s hair before we walked down the isle. I highly recommend her. I wouldn’t have anyone else style my hair for any other events in the future. I was asked all night who did mine and my girls hair and they wanted me to pass along her info. You won’t be disappointed if you hire her I promise. She stayed as long as I needed her and I was extremely greatful for that. Thank you for your amazing work and for being so extremely sweet to us…

Mushmouth 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $8,000
  • Serves Essex Fells, 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.

  • Serves Essex Fells, NJ

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'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!

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.

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.

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band.

A Passion for Perfection: On your special day, it should be all about YOU! You deserve to feel like a celebrity, and to be treated like one too.That’s why we created Blush and Brush Event Styling. Meet Your Event Stylists: Maryanne has over 30 years of hairstyling experience & high volume event coordination. She is a mom of 3 - two beautiful girls and one handsome young man. She thrives on putting others' needs ahead of her own. Her energy and positivity is unmatched - she has the power to make you feel like the absolute best version of yourself.

I cannot recommend Blush and Brush enough. Toni and Stephanie were absolutely magical. They kept the day running on time and smooth. I didn't need to lift a finger or think of anything. They had all the details ironed out, they anticipated everything and catered to my every need. The entire day people kept me telling me how calm and present I was and I truly owe that to the B&B team. They are truly the reason I was able to really sit back and relax and soak up every moment. They are a fine tuned machine. As for the hair, Jason, and my makeup, Ivonne -- perfection. They are masters of their craft and just a joy to work with! Jason stayed with me throughout the day and gave me a second hair style. His energy, humor and presence was a welcome vibe -- he's so fun! And a true professional. My hair stayed in curls all night and people gave me so many compliments. Natalie stayed with me throughout the day to do makeup touch ups. She always made sure I was powered and glossed. I felt like a true celebrity with these two on my team. Like Jason, Natalie was truly a pleasure to have around and extremely talented when it comes to makeup. From when I booked B&B nearly two years before my wedding, I felt supported by Maryanne for any questions. I could not recommend this team enough. I wish I could do this day all over again and have them all be a part of it. I have a few bridesmaids getting married in the next few months and they took B&B's information because they saw what an amazing job they do! Recommend 1000%
