Luvdup is the best, and Kelton is the best! We loved talking to Gemma on our intro call, and were so grateful to have Kelton DJ our wedding. Starting with our planning call it was clear we were in great hands with Kelton, who helped us figure out the finer details of our plan, and made a couple of recommendations that helped us make the day even better. On the day he showed up early to make sure things were set up properly (something our venue and planner were particularly appreciative of), ran the mics for the ceremony which went off without a hitch (except for the obligatory sirens during our vows), and played amazing music all night long. We had assembled hours and hours of playlists — it felt like Kelton intuited all of the important songs and played them at the right time — everything was flawless. Most importantly, it felt like Kelton loved being a part of our day — chatting with us and the other guests and vendors, taking photos and videos. He kept the good vibes going all night. Thank you Kelton and Luvdup!

Hey y’all! My name's Gabriella, I love sunshine and I'm a documentary-style wedding & engagement photographer based in Philadelphia. I'm a hopeless romantic and I adore documenting love stories with my camera in a beautiful & compelling way. Basically, I’m a down-to-earth gal from Pennsylvania who got hooked on the travel bug at college in Georgia (go dawgs!!), has a passion for storytelling and absolutely loves love. Running, biking and chasing sunsets are my favorite pastimes. I’m team coffee AND team tea. I dream real big and I’m full of ambition. Oh, and I'm not just you wedding photographer ... I'm your new friend :)

How do we even begin to say how amazing she was? As soon as we saw that Gabriella described her personality as the color yellow, we knew she was the one for us, and she proved time and time again that we were right. From our first zoom call to our finished gallery, she was a joy to work with. She made everything so easy, from questionnaires to our engagement shoot. She made our wedding day feel effortless. We were both worried about being awkward in front of a camera, but she gave lots of wonderful prompts and little games that were easy and fun for us to do, and left us with stunning pictures we were in absolute awe of. Gabriella does everything with such a personalized touch, which really made us feel special. On your big day, she is not just your photographer, she is your biggest fan and the best hype girl you could hope for, and she was willing to help with any aspect of your day, not just pictures. Need a hairpin tucked? Gabriella's got you. Looking for a guest? She is on it! Did you miss the milkshake shots as they went by? Gabby's got your back! From start to finish, Gabriella and her team really were more than we could have ever imagined. Big shoutout to Connie and Sam! Thank you for everything 3

I had the pleasure of working with Rachel & Heather for our wedding, and they truly made us feel like royalty. From start to finish, their professionalism, talent, and warmth exceeded all our expectations, making our special day even more unforgettable. Consultation and Trial: From our first meeting, Rachel impressed us with their thorough consultation process. She took the time to understand my personal style, preferences, and the overall theme of our wedding. The trial session was a wonderful experience where I could see her and Heather's skills firsthand. They were patient, attentive, and open to feedback, ensuring that every detail was perfect. I really appreciated the fact I could get both my makeup and hair done with the same company, and that my trial was included in the overall price! On the wedding day, Rachel and Heather worked their magic. Their attention to detail were evident. The makeup was flawless without feeling heavy or overdone, my bridesmaids and my mom and now husband's mom all decided to try lashes for the first time :). The hairstyles were elegant and held up beautifully throughout the day, despite hours of dancing and celebrating. Each look was personalized and perfectly suited to each member of the bridal party. The team arrived on time and prepared, which made the morning of our wedding stress-free and enjoyable. They managed their time efficiently, ensuring everyone was ready well before the ceremony. Their calm and friendly demeanor helped ease any pre-wedding jitters, creating a relaxed and fun atmosphere. We couldn’t have asked for a better hair and makeup team for our wedding. Rachel & Heather made us feel beautiful, confident, and special on one of the most important days of our lives. Their talent, professionalism, and warmth made the entire experience wonderful.

DJ Lennox was my sisters DJ for her wedding- I was the maid of honor and also the florist, so I got to get to know DJ Lennox as a guest and also a vendor. There’s honestly not enough words to describe so freakin cool he is. His attention to detail is on point, he can hype up even the most boring crowd, and he has the greatest personality. My sister also rented the Photo Booth and I’m SO glad she did. Everyone had a blast with it & DJ Lennox’s assistant was just as cool as he is. She was so much fun, so sweet, and so funny.

Beauty & Bridal Philly was an absolute delight to work with for my wedding day. From the very first interaction, the team was responsive, flexible, and incredibly kind. As a woman of color with a multiethnic bridal party, I was worried about finding a makeup team that would be well-versed in things like color theory and able to make us look and feel beautiful. But the artists at Beauty & Bridal Philly exceeded my expectations - Martha in particular made sure I looked absolutely stunning, and her Tess, and Tiffani made the entire bridal party looked flawless. The quality of their work is truly professional and long-lasting - our makeup was on for over 12 hours and it still looked great by the end of the night!. I couldn't have asked for a better beauty team to help make our special day perfect.

We booked John with Power Play Entertainment for our wedding and are extremely happy we did. We did a lot of research into DJs during the planning process as we knew it was an important role and could mean the difference between a fun wedding and an awkward one. From the moment we talked to John on our initial call, we knew he was the right fit for us. Aside from reception music, John covered music at the ceremony and cocktail hour, microphones and sound for us and our officiant, lighting for our reception, and a custom monogram that turned out amazing. We had a few special requests from our processional song, to passing out glow sticks and other favors, to having a surprise musical guest for the father daughter dance and all were managed great by John. John brought along Guy as his assistant/our second DJ and he was amazing as well. Both were ready to make sure we had everything we needed for the entire day and were professional with how they handled everything. At the end of the day, John kept everything going smoothly from the ceremony to the reception, he was a great emcee, played everything we wanted to hear, and most importantly he kept everyone dancing all night long. John does everything he can to ensure he can serve you how you want on your special day. I would highly recommend John, Guy, and Power Play Entertainment as a whole.

Alicia was an absolute delight to work with. She traveled to my home to complete the trial and traveled to the poconos for my wedding day. I felt like an absolute princess and received SO MANY compliments on my makeup. She provided a touch up kit (so thoughtful!) To get me through the night although I only needed to reapply the lipstick. My makeup looked just as fresh at the end of the night as it did at the start of the day.

Hello! My name is Alec and I run Small Batch Films! With a Master's Degree in Business Administration, I never thought I would find my love in wedding videography. I initially picked up a camera as a hobby, and then friends started asking me to do photography for them. Pretty soon I was doing photography for my friend's weddings, and I was hooked. It was such an exhilarating feeling to capture such an important day in the lives of two people in love! But where I really found my love was with the video camera.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved working with Alec for our wedding in August 2020! Not only was he completely professional the entire time, but by the end of the night he became a good friend! He totally exceeded expectations by capturing every detail of our wedding. He was there for venue details, getting ready shots, and dancing the night away. I still smile when he couldn't resist dancing with us during the cupid shuffle! Our final video was amazing. He had a really quick turn around and was in constant communication throughout the process. Alec captured our wedding through his lens and I can't wait to watch his work for 50 more years. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding videographer.

  • Videographer

  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Essington, PA

Cinematography has given me the creative outlet to tell stories that I always wanted growing up and my couples have given me amazing stories to tell. My main philosophy when it comes to Wedding Filmmaking is that it is not only about creating a video that tells the story of the wedding day, but it’s also about creating a film that tells the story of the couple. My filming style has been described as documentarian and pleasantly discrete. I may stage a few shots from time to time and I will work with the photographer as they are posing you for specific shots, but my films are defined by the fleeting moments in the midst of a very busy day.

We are so happy that we decided to work with Seth! He was kind and professional from start to finish, and we couldn't be happier with how our video came out. Seth perfectly captured the joy and love of the day - we can't recommend him enough!

There aren't enough good things to say about Andrea and her team. She made the entire process so easy from start to finish and was always available to chat on the phone if we had any questions. She helped piece together the timeline for the day, walked us through all the extra things to bring on the day of the wedding, and most importantly, was always a calming presence to talk to during the chaos of wedding planning. We had one of her Associates, Jess, take our photos on the wedding day and she was amazing, the photos came out phenomenal. When Jess showed up the day of the wedding she knew everything that was going on and all the specifics of photos that we wanted taken. Andrea had updated Jess with every single detail that we wanted so that everyone was on the same page; it made everything run so smoothly. Whenever we look back on our wedding photos we can't help but think how lucky we got with picking Andrea and her team, it is so clear how much she cares about her brides and wants your wedding day to be the absolute best day of your life.

Ryan is truly the jack of all trades, the absolute kindest human being, and incredibly professional. We are SO glad he was a (major!) part of our wedding day! He was super communicative when we had questions, helped give us some advice, and *!!!even learned a new song just for us!!!* We had just attended a friends wedding and the music was super unrelatable to my fiance (husband now lol) and our friends. We were bummed and worried - hopeful that ours would be fun and get people out there! Ryan was AMAZING. He curated the perfect playlist, set up THREE different locations to play, AND was super cool to honor all our specific wishes. 10 mins to the end I went to him and said eh we are tired such a long day, we can probably wrap up - he assured me he had some incredible songs for the last few, told me to rally- he DID. Ended the night on such a fun, high note. I would recommend Ryan over and over and over and over again. Not only did he totally rock the DJ/musician aspect, but he’s truly a kind person- which just really rounded out the whole experience. 10000/10 experience — thank you Ryan!!!

People loved the food, florals, venue, etc. - but we received by far the most compliments about DJ Pat. I (bride) never left the dance floor once... The mixing and transitions to pack as many songs in as possible was fantastic. We like a pretty broad range of genres, and he absolutely nailed it. There was also an amazing balance of music for different generations present - way better executed than we could have dreamed of. We also appreciated the pep talk for our wedding party beforehand, it really set the tone for the whole night! It was really nice getting to know DJ Pat leading up to the wedding as well. He was always available to chat via video call or text if needed. And his shared spreadsheet helped us immensely during the chaos that is wedding planning (especially planning from abroad). Thank you so much for truly making it the most unforgettable night of our lives!

Delaney Dobson Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Essington, PA

Based in Hatboro, Pennsylvania, I’m a Philidelphia-suburb native who is a little bit quirky and a whole lot authentic. I’m a long-time photographer specializing in family and newborn photography with the occasional wedding thrown in. With a bachelor’s degree in fine art photography and more than 10 years of experience under my belt, I’ve loved being able to grow behind the lens and watching my photography style evolve throughout the years. While I’ll always have a soft spot for the whimsical, I’ve gravitated toward a more raw and authentic style.

Delaney was the absolute perfect choice for our big day! She was so prepared and flexible to deal with weather changes and some fun young flower girls and boys too. Even better, she made the non-photogenic groom and myself feel relaxed which is evident in the gorgeous shots she captured. Will absolutely be reaching out for all future photography needs!

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I had one non-negotiable for our wedding - to have a live band. We went to the BVT showcase and immediately fell in love with Experience. They were a little bit out of our budget, but we decided to book them anyways and cut back on other things and let me tell you ...they were worth every single penny!!! Luke is the nicest, coolest guy and so great to work with!! He listened to every request we had leading up and I truly didn't think about a thing during the wedding day - he had our timeline completely under control and kept us on track (and if we were running behind I still have no idea because he's that good!!). The band is INCREDIBLE and had our guests on the dance floor all night!! I realized at the end of the night I never even changed out of my heels into my white sneakers because that would have meant leaving the dance floor. Our guests are still telling us how amazing the band was and several of them even got their card for their own events! Having Experience was the best decision we made!! Thank you to all of you for making our wedding day so memorable and fun!!

Robert did an amazing job as the DJ at our wedding. He worked with us closely as we planned our day and assisted us with listening to what our vision of music we wanted.

Sade was an absolute joy to work with. From the very beginning she was very approachable and listened to my vision. Sade is personable and made me and my loved one feel comfortable. Sade did my makeup for my engagement photos and wedding. I was going for a natural glam for myself, bridesmaids, mom and mother in-law, and she delivered. We all looked stunning. The makeup wasn’t just copy and paste, it was customized to flatter each one of us. There were some hiccups along the way, but Sade communicated with me the entire time. It was a little bummer not receiving the baggy with the makeup remover etc. that came with the package. But that does not take away from the high quality of work she produced. I can honestly say I enjoyed my time with Sade and her “assistant”. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

In 2013, after working professionally in film for many years, I began to apply my interest in storytelling to creating authentic wedding videos. My filmmaking style is a blend of cinematic and documentary elements, with an emphasis on music and emotional expression. My favorite moments to capture are honest and unplanned, so I like to stay in tune and shoot what happens naturally. When I'm not attending weddings, I enjoy writing music, reading, and spending time with my wife and kids in West Chester, PA.

Joe did a spectacular job at my wedding. He managed to capture all the best moments of our wedding in a inconspicuous manner and with expertise.

The events team made sure everything was taken care of before, during, and after the reception. As for the guests, our families LOVED the zoo and so many of them made sure to tell us how much fun they had! Additionally, they were very LGBTQ friendly! If we had to do it all over again, we’d definitely pick EPZ over and over.
