Precious Nichole Makeup 

5.0

  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 1
  • Serves Far Rockaway, NY

If you cry, I’ll cry with you. To say that I’m a lover of love would be an absolute understatement. Bridal makeup is a mixture of my two favorite things: makeup and love. Love is the foundation of everything I do. There’s nothing like watching a person fall in love with the beauty that’s already there. Over and over. This is the moment I can’t wait to share with you. Makeup shouldn’t hide you, it should reveal you. That’s the heart and soul of all that I do.

Awarded Best of Zola
I absolutely loved my makeup for my wedding day. Precious was attentive, detail-oriented, punctual, and professional. As a person who can barely manage mascara on a day-to-day basis, any worries I had were eased by her during my makeup trial. In my opinion, the trial is extremely important in order to build trust between the artist and the bride. I was excited to get to share this moment with her before the big day. I am amazed by her ability to use makeup to enhance beauty instead of completely changing a bride's look. I chose her as my stylist because I desired a look that had "glowy and natural" aesthetic while still looking like myself. I felt that she would be the artist who could accomplish this style and that is exactly what she did. After she finished the look on the big day, I was blown away. I received so many compliments on my makeup and choosing her as a vendor is one of the best decisions I made in my wedding planning process. Without a doubt, I can personally attest that Precious goes above and beyond for her clients. When I arrived to the ceremony area, I noticed that there were barcode stickers on some of the vases. I instantly felt stress because I wanted to spend time with my bridesmaids, but I also didn't want the barcodes to be shown in my photographs. I felt so cared for as she selflessly picked each sticker off. She is so much more than the makeup artist that meets the eye. Precious showed me so much humility in that moment. I felt cared for as she catered to my makeup AND emotional needs. This is what sets her apart. I would choose her over and over.

  • Caterer
  • Serves Far Rockaway, NY

The seeds of the business go back to the 1960s when Abigail started a cooking school from the basement of her home. Her entrepreneurial spirit and early success drove her to quickly expand the school to a retail outlet, and few years later, her husband, Bob, sold his company to join her in launching the catering business. Their son, Jim, joined the couple in 1980 and has been running the business with Partner & Chef Alison Awerbuch since the early 2000s. Through the years, the DNA of Abigail Kirsch has never changed. Rooted in the belief that, “We are only as good as our last event,” its culture centers on creativity, planning and flawless execution. The company’s mission is to execute events in which the client feels like a guest and guests feel as though they are in someone’s home.

Don't consider Abigail Kirsch. Book your wedding at Abigail Kirsch! From beginning to end it was such a wonderful experience! Our Event Coordinator was absolutely amazing. He made it so easy for us to enjoy our day, knowing that he would take care of everything. The venue was gorgeous, the service impeccable, the food outstanding, the presentation beautiful, the staff were all friendly and welcoming. What more could you ask for? We would highly recommend having your wedding at an Abigail Kirsch property. You will be in great hands!

Studio Mariposa 

5.0

  • Florist
  • Serves Far Rockaway, NY

With a background in Photography, I am fascinated by all things visual and design. My work brings a sense of elevation to any space. Inspired by Japanese Ikebana, tropical flowers like orchids, and fabulous weird things that are out of the ordinary, I genuinely believe that flowers can change the world. I’m always eager to bring these visions to life!

Mariposa flowers were by far the best florist I’ve ever worked with. Zen was incredibly professional and patient with me as my vision continued to change. I had found Zen 10 months before our wedding. I never felt rushed, but completely supported by them. Their professionalism and ease were exactly what a bride needs. Someone in your corner who can help navigate you through this incredibly stressful time. I had given Zen photos of what vibe/colors I wanted for our big day and they delivered in a way I couldn’t imagine. Truly my flowers were the big talk at the wedding. At the end of our night, all my guests had taken the tall and short centerpieces. Their work speaks for itself. My bridal attendant and every person working at the venue, who had seen thousands of flowers, said that these were by far the freshest they had ever seen.

Justin Lee Weddings 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Serves Far Rockaway, NY

Drawing inspiration from films, photojournalism, and fine art— my work is best described as cinematic and timeless. From photographing small to large weddings, intimate elopements, to covering the Tony Awards— I've learned that every wedding & event is important and unique. My approach as a photographer is to not only create images that feel honest and interesting, but to document a story— while subtly being in the background. Capturing moments you were in the middle of, and moments that you probably never even saw— so that one day when you look back on these images years from now, you'll be reminded of what that day was.

Please book Justin for your special event - he is amazingly talented and the kindest soul to share your day with. We booked Justin for our wedding and by far it was the best decision we made for the day. From the moment we met to discuss the photography (prior to any sort of contract), Justin felt genuinely invested in the day, our happiness, and felt like a good friend. As the process continued on, he helped us remain organized and had clear expertise in how best to time manage and execute the photography. He was readily available for any questions and gave excellent suggestions in what might be needed during the photography that we had not thought of. When the wedding day finally arrived, Justin was an immediate calming presence and source of joy. He made everyone feel so relaxed and I think that is so important in photography to capture a momentous occasion. The photos turned out stunning and we will cherish them forever. Everything was exactly according to timeline (even early!). I can not thank Justin enough for playing such an important role in our wedding and making such incredible memories with us.

Pre-Dame Beauty

  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 5
  • Serves Far Rockaway, NY

Stefanie founded Pre-Dame Beauty after spending 12 successful years on set in the editorial and commercial industry. She has always loved enhancing a woman’s natural features and bringing out her most confident self through makeup so her move towards bridal was no surprise. Stefanie wants women to see makeup as a tool to celebrate yourself and the skin you’re in, not hide behind layers of foundation and contour. She sees every face as a new palate to explore and it is truly an experience to watch her move about adding little touches to create that perfect look.

As a person who wears little makeup, and never does much to her hair, I knew I wanted a specific look for my wedding day. I wanted to look natural but beautiful, an elevated version of myself. This was something that was hard to find, until I discovered Pre-Dame Beauty! While they were at the top of my budget, I knew it was worth it to feel comfortable and like myself on my wedding day. (This applied to the moms as well, never having had hair and makeup done, they felt well taken care of, and like themselves!) My trial experience was so easy and fun. Stefanie was a joy to be around, she really made me feel comfortable and beautiful, and was helpful and excited about the notes and ideas we came up with for the wedding day. Sophie truly transformed my hair on the day of, and was also a pleasure to work with. Special shout outs to both of them for embracing my Mother-in-laws curls! And for going glam for my MOH! They just have the best ideas for helping you look your best, while embracing your natural beauty. Their calm presence made for such an easy and relaxing wedding morning, and I'm so happy with my decision to hire them!

KGFare Catering & Events

  • Caterer
  • Serves Far Rockaway, NY

In 2008 Josh Griffiths and Peter Killy decided it was time to create without compromise. They launched KG Fare, offering fun, dynamic and memorable full-service catering and event experiences. Hospitality without the attitude. Entertaining curations that raise the bar for food and drinks.

We enjoyed collaborating with KG Fare on our dream wedding menu. They were flexible and supportive of our wedding vision, especially during the COVID period. They spent time with us to go over every single detail from the texture and flavor of the food to safety measures to the overall set up of tables, decorations and more. Weeks leading up to our big, special event, we were in constant communication via phone and email. On the big day, Peter and Josh and the crew were super attentive to us and our guests. The food was such a hit that our guests kept talking about it for days after the event. To this day, we still crave for everything on our menu because the food was scrumptious. KG Fare's check went beyond our expectation and made sure everything we talked about during the food tasting was incorporated on the actual event! We would work with KG Fare again in any future events that requires catering! Thank you!

Make Me Glamorous is the top tear among its competitors we cater to our brides on location throughout Vermont, Long Island, NYC and The Upstate Albany-Saratoga Areas. However, we can travel outside those areas. We have a full team of the best artist's in the industry ready to service large bridal parties! We are dedicated to providing you with a wedding beauty experience that is unmatched. With multiple highly experienced Stylists and Makeup Artist's on our roster, we can accommodate bridal parties both large and small. Additionally, our administrative team will work seamlessly with you leading up to the event to ensure a smooth wedding day.

Gina made me feel the most beautiful I ever have in my entire life. Most importantly, she made me feel NATURALLY beautiful! She has *such* a talent for bringing out people’s natural beauty. That was SO important to me because we’ve all seen brides/bridesmaids who have too much makeup on their wedding day that they look nothing like themselves. I had a group of 14 women who needed to get ready (a mix of moms, step moms, bridesmaids, and grooms women). Gina and her team got everyone done on time and they all looked STUNNING. When everyone was finished, I looked around the room and everyone was glowing. Feeling so confident and happy with the way they looked. Our pictures are stunning because of her work and attention to detail! Most importantly, her hair and makeup looked flawless the *whole day*!!! I did a lot of happy crying and I even went on a BOAT after our ceremony and my hair and makeup still looked perfect by the end of the night. Photos for proof ;) !! She is so friendly, professional and fun to work with. It was such a joy spending time with her through the planning process and on my wedding day. I can’t recommend her enough!

Groupmuse

  • Serves Far Rockaway, NY

Seamless selection. Superior sounds. Elevate your wedding with world-class performances by Groupmuse musicians. Our trusted team can save you the hassle of searching for and booking music, with stress-free, full-service matching to suit your every need. When you book with Groupmuse for Hire, we will hand-select the perfect musicians for your event from our roster of over 2,500 vetted professionals, featuring alumni of top conservatories and members of elite ensembles. We take care of the details of musician booking and planning, so you can relax and create unforgettable memories.

My partner and I discovered the utter magic of GROUPMUSE small musical performances less than one year ago - and we fell seriously in love with this superb way of bringing music up close and personal to ourselves and to our neighborhoods in San Francisco. The music is very low cost in a donation only, like from 5 to 20 for a single musician. Amazing when Symphony tix start at 100 and up? We have now attended 8 performances of superbly talented local musicians in a corner coffee shop, in the balcony seating 12 fir a tiny, romantic piano atalier, in an 40-seat art gallery, in the LGBTQ Center foyer — and we have hosted a musician 3 times at our small hime for keenly appreciative guests. We’ve even made new friends in our neighborhood! We convinced our branch library to provide a room AND find City arts funds to pay a musician and the library manager wants another concert this winter! It’s so easy and fun to host - and at no cost other than opening up your home or apartment to music and providing water and maybe a few light snacks if you want. Or invite a GROUPMUSE musician of your choice to perform at your 80th birthday party as I did —or at your wedding or graduation or for your parents 50 tieth anniversary! It’s stunning to sit five feet away from a harpist or pianist and actually hear every note and see the musician break out in smiles and dance in their chairs when they resonate to what they play and love! And chat with them afterwards. It really enhances music for my partner and I.

Katherine Frizzell Films 

5.0

  • Videographer
  • Vintage style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Far Rockaway, NY

I create short films from your old home movies and favorite photographs. Process: First, we'll chat and you tell me everything you'd like to share about you or your loved ones featured in the footage. I'll walk you through selecting the photos/videos to best tell your story. You gather all the footage (feel free to outsource to family + friends!) and send to me. And that's it! I take it from there and get to work creating a short film that reflects you + your unique story.

I hired Katherine to make a short childhood-to-the-present video for my wife’s milestone birthday. Based on what I’ve seen of Katherine’s work, I knew it would be high quality and creative, but my expectations were slightly muted because what I gave her to work with was almost all old still photographs with very few videos. I was blown away by what Katherine created! When my wife watched the nine minute film (along with family and friends) she burst into tears of joy and surprise. She absolutely loved it. It’s a beautiful tribute with real narrative and emotional power, skillfully enhanced with music. If you’re looking for the visual equivalent of a lounge pianist — a film loop to play in the background while people socialize — you’d be well served by a more generic slideshow. What Katherine made for us is a one of a kind treasure that generates memories, conversation and emotion. Needless to say, we’re delighted.

Hi! My name is Herti. I’m originally from Albania where I first started doing photography and then moved to NY, that was about 5 years ago. It’s an incredible feeling being the one person your couple trusts with capturing moments of their life. That’s why I put a lot of thought in every wedding I shoot. I sit down with the couple before the wedding, talk to them and get to know them. So when the day of the wedding comes they know they have nothing to worry about regarding photography. I’m a strong believer on telling a story through photography and give everyone who looks at your pictures a glimpse of your love.

Amazing and chill Herti was so accommodating and ready to help us with anything. And OMG the photos were simply amazing!

Words cannot express how wonderful Michiko Boorberg is - she deserves 100 stars! She is a true artist and upmost professional and has the natural ability to make you feel gorgeous and at ease. Michiko did my hair and makeup for both my rehearsal dinner and wedding and I've never felt so beautiful in my entire life. It was important to me to not look like I had too much make up on and during the hair and makeup test leading up to the wedding, she listened to what I wanted and was able to translate that into exactly what I wanted. She did such a great job I didn't need any touch ups throughout the entire evening like I thought I would. I truly cannot recommend her enough!

I can also offer you a package deal with a photographer. I find that a 20 min. highlight video is the sweet spot, but can make it any length you want according to your style. Thanks for viewing!

Kansas girl plopped firmly in the middle of Brooklyn—and loving every minute of it. When I’m not awkwardly dancing at your wedding reception I can be found exploring NYC with a large coffee in hand, hosting dinner parties for my friends, oogling puppies on the street (please bring your dogs along to our sessions…), or feeding my popcorn addiction at the movies. I feel damn lucky to have a job where I get to hang with the coolest people on such an amazing day. Let's have some fun and make some awesome memories together!

Every photograph takes you right into the scene, as if you were there yourself. Sarah has a keen eye. Her photographers capture the feelings of the moment. She is also fantastic to work with. She makes you feel so comfortable and so happy to have her on your team. Couldn’t be happier we had her capture our special day.

The Neskes

  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $5,995
  • Serves Far Rockaway, NY

We are a husband-and-wife traveling wedding filmmaking team passionate about creating unique, cinematic love stories for the bold and the courageous. For those who embrace the unknown. For those who dream.

Where do I even begin? When my husband & I first started wedding planning, we weren't even certain if videography was a must-have for us. But after a recommendation from our (equally brilliant) photographer and viewing about 30 seconds of one of their videos - which promptly reduced me to tears in the middle of work- I knew The Neskes would be a can't-live-without vendor for us. The Neskes create magic. They are somehow able to distill hours into minutes and seconds, capturing each couple's individual story, raw emotions and sheer joy. Every video is so uncannily representative of each couple, you feel you know their entire journey; they are somehow able to make each video distinct, yet so undeniably representative of the Neskes' unique style. Their videos are actual cinematic works of art - they capture that sensation of seeing flashes of your life as if you're watching your own life story on the big screen. From the carefully selected music that somehow seems to describe your innermost feelings, to the rapid bursts of moments - looks, laughter, tears, cheers, unbridled celebration - that makes up your day, there is so much raw talent and passion that goes into their work. Seeing our teaser trailer mere days after our wedding brought back all those sweeping feelings we felt that day, so much so that we replayed that video well into the night. Each re-watch uncovered some tiny moment we missed on the previous watch, and it was amazing to be able to rediscover the day every time. Even better, though, are Melissa & Steve themselves. There's a reason every review mentions that the Neskes are their new best friends, and mine is no different. They are the kindest, funniest, most calming and generous presence you could hope for (and they happily share their snacks with you when you start feeling peckish). Melissa was my sounding board throughout the entirety of my wedding planning process - until she became my every day sounding board. So responsive, kind, comforting and encouraging, it is unbelievable that such talented people are also such amazing human beings. And we are eternally grateful for their talent and presence in our lives. Practically speaking, they make the entire process so easy - it was oddly comforting having just one package to choose from, knowing we would get them for the entire day and wouldn't have to choose what kind/how many videos we would get at the end of it. I've since gotten to see our long-form and documentary videos, and have watched, re-watched, cried, laughed, cringed and cried some more. Getting to relive the speeches, the laughter, the joy, excitement, trepidation and tears through their discerning and creative eye(s) is truly such a gift.

Hi! We're Jeremiah & Cody. We met working in a music store in 2009 and instantly became like brothers ("Did we just become best friends?" "YUP!"). In 2011, Jeremiah's wife volunteered him to shoot her sister's wedding and he genuinely enjoyed it. So, he began shooting weddings. In 2016, Cody graduated RIT with a Visual Arts degree and was looking for his next move. Luckily for all of us, Jeremiah talked Cody into relocating to the Hudson Valley to help him with his weddings. And here we are! The two of us get really excited to take really cool pictures.
