Boom & Bloom Floral Design 

5.0

  • Florist
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Essex, NY

Having spent decades in the trenches of the floral design and event production industries working beside renowned NYC and Southern California designers, Eliza Rose has brought her unique style to her own botanical studio, Boom & Bloom Floral Design. Eliza's signature style blends the timeless, decadent allure of the Dutch Masters paintings with the ephemeral beauty of nature. Embracing the Dutch tradition of capturing the essence of each season, Eliza utilizes native grown and foraged flowers from her property in the Great Northern Catskills as well as supporting local farms by sourcing blooms from their sustainably grown, seasonal crops.

When my husband and i decided to embark on a DIY wedding journey, we truly didn't know what we were getting ourselves into. How hard can it be said the husband to be. Amazingly, we got married (and still are ;) I contacted Eliza with my vision that was, i must admit, all over the place. Eliza was able to sort through my many ideas and create a look for my very raw space that matched %100 what i had in mind and to execute it x100 better then i could ever have possibly imagined. She took a completely empty space and brought it to life! it was like magic. Not only was she able to flawlessly and effortlessly comprehend my vision and style, it was also an absolute pleasure to work with her as a person and watch her wonderful artistry unfold. I cannot recommend hiring Eliza enough. Her unique style, experience, stellar professionalism and ease to work with exeeded the glowing reviews i already heard of her.

As a wedding and lifestyle photographer, I serve the beautiful region of Upstate New York, capturing love stories and life's most precious moments. I believe in a personalized approach, working closely with brides before their big day to establish a detailed timeline and shot list, ensuring every special moment is captured. My commitment extends beyond the wedding day; working with couples to create stunning printed heirlooms that they can cherish forever. Often, I have the joy of continuing to document their journey as they transition into parenthood.

Courtney is an amazing photographer who takes pride in her work (as she should!). I’m so glad she took our engagement and wedding photos. She made us both feel extremely comfortable and made us laugh the whole time! The photos were available to us soon after our sessions and they were perfect. Courtney’s assistant, Cortney, was another great asset to have on our wedding day! I would highly recommend Courtney Mezger Photography for any of your photography needs. Hopefully one day we can return to her and get more photos taken!

Shots by Mag (Maggie Morris)

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Essex, NY

I have the coolest job in the world: I create emotional time capsules for my couples (and hopefully you too). That way, you get to be fully present on your wedding day and you get to relive that day over and over again with the same intensity, joy and love. My not-so-secret sauce is this: I get to know you. I find out what makes you and your lover tick, and then, I craft a visual story that's reflective of you. My utmost goal is to create joyful imagery for folks who want things documented exactly as they felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
There simply are not enough good things to say about Maggie and her ability to capture our love! We wanted to shoot somewhere a bit untraditional, and needed someone with a detailed eye to capture the beauty of the venue while still allowing us to be the center of the show! Maggie communicated with us constantly and helped us both feel comfortable throughout the shoot. Her timeline for editing was reasonable and well worth every dollar. We feel so lucky to have been able to work with her to capture memories that will last us a lifetime.

We originally were looking to book another upstate NY photographer, but in a stroke of good luck they were unavailable for our wedding day and we were recommended to check out Katie and Kelsey. These ladies are so sweet, fun, and incredibly talented. Not only were they positive energy and good vibes during the girls' only getting ready process, they were such a joy to have around all day! Outside of a few standard portraits, and a couple ceremony specific shots, we gave them some general thoughts on the type of photography and images we liked, and they surpassed our expectations. From a sneak peek within 24 hours of wedding, to the full and absolutely stunning gallery we received later, working with these ladies was a 1500/10!

Menaza (M. O. Everlasting) was amazing for my wedding as my Day of Coordinator. My wedding was on the large size (220 people) and had a lot of moving parts. My husband is Malayali so we wanted to incorporate his traditions along with my catholic ones. So this involved MANY extra details including 3 outfit changes, choreographed dances, and complicated family photos in many locations. To pull this off I new I needed help the day of my wedding. Menaza took care of everything, I had complete trust in her, she handled everything so I could just enjoy my day. When my photobooth did not show up she HUNTED them down and got them there and set up in time. I am so glad we had her! I could not have done it without her!

It’s the one-on-one relationship that you have with your event host throughout your planning that will, and absolutely should, spill over into the atmosphere of your event. Getting to know you with the desire to personalize your entertainment, not simply customize, is a large part of where creativity comes from, and not just mine, but yours as well! I love to offer many suggestions and ideas for your event but also find it just as important to hear your "unique" and "awesome" ideas.

Caroline from Upbeat Occasions was amazing throughout the whole planning process! She has an incredibly helpful online wedding/music planner to help keep you organized and really give her a vibe of what you like to listen too. She couldn’t have been any easier or nicer to work with! All of our guests loved her! Her transitions from song to song at the ceremony and reception were flawless. We had people on the dance floor all night, which shows how great Caroline was. I cannot say enough amazing things about her! Book her - you won’t regret it!

It didn’t take long for us to fully trust him for our special day. Fast forward to our wedding day — our flowers were absolutely breathtaking. They were timeless and elegant, perfectly complimenting the space and overall wedding design. Besides his clear expertise, Tobin really went above and beyond to help our floral vision come to life while still staying in our budget. It was really refreshing to work with a vendor who was sensitive to that, and it made us feel even more certain that we were in the very best hands. Thank you, Tobin, for everything!

Awarded Best of Zola
We're thrilled with our photos and experience We cannot say enough about how beautiful our photos are! We are beyond thrilled with how they turned out and how they feel like we felt on our wedding day. I will say, though, that we and our families all agreed that even if the photos didn’t turn out as we hoped, we would still be happy because of how great they were to work with. They made even the more camera-shy among us feel comfortable, never distracted from the important parts of our day, and were flexible and lovely to be around. We couldn't be happier with the final results and wholeheartedly recommend them for anyone getting married in the area.

John is incredible. We were on the fence about having a videographer or not. I came across his info on a Facebook wedding group and decided to check out his work. After reviewing his website, I decided to reach out to him about his rates and some questions I had. We ended up doing his 6 hour package, and also customized it so we could get all of our raw footage. His pricing is extremely fair and we loved being able to get a highlight video and the raw footage with our first choice package. Hiring John for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. Our highlight video is absolutely amazing. It shows our story and our relationship perfectly. He incorporated exactly what we asked him to. Our family and friends love the highlight video he created for us, too. Not only do we love it, but he delivered it just six business days after our wedding!!! To anyone on the fence about a videographer - hire John! To anyone searching for a videographer - hire John!!!

She made the environment so friendly and comfortable. The experience was so fun and we got everything we dreamed of and more with our photos.

Richele was the best photographer we ever had a pleasure of working with. Even my husband who hates taking photos had a blast. Everything from initial communication to wedding day was amazing. She was on top of everything, responded within minutes, helped us out when we had to extend the payment, just overall so easy to work with. And don’t even get me started on how magical and breathtaking her work is. I fell in love with it the second I saw it and I knew I had to book her for my wedding. And it was the best decision. We absolutely adore each and every one of our photos. So happy our special day got captured in such an incredible way by Richele. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts girl. Can’t wait to book you again for our baby pictures

I am based out of Connecticut + New England but also travel for destination weddings. I am passionate about creating long lasting memories with my clients. I love to travel (15+ countries and counting!), discover new places and meet new people. Fun fact: I'm a french citizen that moved to the United States in 2016.

I cannot say enough good things about Ben! From our engagement shoot to planning to wedding day, he was on top of everything. The photos are gorgeous, he's a joy to work with, but most importantly he's just freakin' awesome. He fit right in with our crazy bunch like he's been part of our gang all along and we all had so much fun the whole time! I've never had photos taken before but he made it so easy and took away all the stress and anxiety that we had prior to both engagement shoot and wedding day. He's literally the best; stop searching, you've found the one, it's him!

I grew up with family members that DJ'd most of my family's weddings CA. But since I got married in PA they weren't really an option and to be honest I am glad they weren't. Stefan was incredibly professional, detailed, and fun to work with. He was so flexible with all the things we had going on. He helped me immensely to ensure that everything was timed well throughout the day. He was a perfect MC, had amazing sound equipment. And more importantly played DOPE A** music. My husband is a skater at heart and so he loves the classic early 2000 music like Mr. Brightside. So much so that he had a whole list of songs he wanted Stefan to play in a series. And Stefan DELIVERED. the entire crowd was pumped up by the songs and it made the whole night that much more amazing. When I say that DJ Stefan is worth every penny I mean it. EVERY PENNY. You will not be disappointed and neither would your guests. Worry free, awesome music, that's where it is at. Thank you Stefan!!!!!!
