Kyle and Dave were SO great to work with. Every conversation with them was fun and they were so organized in walking us through creating the perfect soundtrack to our favorite day. Kyle and I hit it off immediately sharing a love of Electronic, Pop Punk, and HipHop; and Dave (who DJ'd the day of) was so in tune with my husband's love of Jam Bands, Bluegrass, and Jamtronica! They respected our wishes to check in with us about outlier song requests lol and added the flare our dream playlist needed. The photobooth was loved by all of our guests. We cannot recommend them enough to anyone hosting an event or wedding!

  • Serves Fonda, NY

Hi friend! I'm Becca. Ever since I was little, I wanted to listen to others stories and share them with others. As a result of a college photography class that I loved and my dad's love of nature photography, I was gifted a camera after graduation, and I never stopped! I started taking photos at a performing arts center and became mesmerized with capturing joy. I have been in the wedding industry since I was fourteen and have been taking photos professionally since 2019.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot GUSH enough about Becca. She was hands down the MVP of our wedding day. In the midst of wedding planning busyness, Becca led a thorough meeting with us (the couple) going over the day-of schedule, and covering an exhaustive comprehensive list of all possible photos, helping us prioritize the ones we needed and letting go of those that may have ended up stressing us out to try to take! She made sure to be sensitive to all our hopes for photos, family dynamics, and more. I (the bride) was sick on the wedding day and had to make some adjustments to the day-of schedule, and Becca not only adjusted with such grace and flexibility, but also offered great game-time ideas to make sure we got all the photos we wanted with even less time! During the wedding, Becca stayed even longer than scheduled, was so patient but commanding with getting family photos organized, and stayed in the background throughout the day even though she was right by my (the bride!) side getting the best candid photos. That way, I was able to feel supported AND even more relaxed, she was so nimble, positive, and masterful. As I’ve said since the beginning of working with her, she is simply the BEST.

I love EVERYTHING about a wedding day; the anticipation, the joy, the laughter, the happy tears, and the simple fact that everyone you know is gathered to celebrate with you. I have had the honor of celebrating with so many couples and friends and family and it gives me so much joy. I want you to have the BEST day!! So tell me about your loves, your plans, and let’s start telling your story!

Kristin was AMAZING! Our wedding pictures came out absolutely stunning, I’m obsessed with them, and the photos are even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Kristin is also so friendly, kind, and is great with her communication. The pictures are just amazing. Before working with Kristin, my husband and I were definitely camera shy, but she made us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot that we felt ready for the wedding. I highly recommend Kristin!

  • Not for you if you are drawn to more unconventional venues
My husband and I recently celebrated our wedding at Seven Ponds Farm, and despite some unexpected rain, it was truly the best day ever! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning beauty of the venue. The mountains, the ponds, the charming farm (and adorable goats)—it was all picture perfect. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the gorgeous setting. And even when the weather threatened to dampen our plans, the incredible team at Seven Ponds Farm had a backup plan to save the day. They seamlessly flipped our ceremony and cocktail hour so we could still get those breathtaking mountain views during our ceremony. They even brought delicious snacks and drinks from the cocktail hour to our bridal suite so we wouldn't miss out on any of the fun. We opted to have our rehearsal dinner at the venue as well as the reception, and we were not disappointed. We got many compliments on the food, and especially the fish tacos, which we didn't try during the tasting dinner, so we were pleasantly surprised! All around, everything was delicious. We also stayed at the venue from Thursday to Sunday, which definitely made the whole experience feel even more special, as it truly did feel like home while we were there. Olivia and Edvard were absolutely amazing. They were so professional, accommodating, and truly helped us every step of the way. When the power went out in the main house while we were getting ready, they were right there to help us get it back on. Their calm demeanor and quick thinking really put us at ease. We can't recommend Seven Ponds Farm enough. It's a beautiful place with an exceptional team who will make sure every detail of your wedding day is well thought out. If you're looking for a venue that's both stunning and has incredible service, look no further!

Sydney K Andrew Photography

  • Photographer

  • Serves Fonda, NY

Photographing weddings and elopements is a privilege that I do not take lightly. I treat each moment with as much care as if it were my own! While I am happy to take on weddings of any size, I specialize in intimate weddings or engagement sessions where I can embrace a documentary, candid approach. My favorite moments to capture are those quiet, unplanned interactions. I adore the small details. The moments that sometimes get overlooked but often times help tell the story of your wedding day the most. I thrive with couples who aren’t afraid to be silly and embrace the moments as they come as opposed to forcing it.

Awarded Best of Zola
Sydney was a dream to work with for our wedding! She is so kind and easy-going, she instantly eased all of my wedding day anxieties. She truly does it all and was essential in making our day run smoothly. From fixing my veil, to bustling my dress, and wrangling up our wedding party all while getting fantastic photos. She really is so talented at what she does by capturing all of the in-between, authentic moments that you want to remember forever. Our photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined and are so timeless, we will cherish them for the rest of our lives. We couldn’t recommend her enough not only because of her beautiful work but for the person that she is!!!

Normanside was the first venue we looked at and honestly anything after it just didn't compare. We kept finding ourselves coming back to Normanside as our favorite for several reasons. We really wanted a ceremony outside but reception indoors (for A/C) which they offered (and on top of that, the outside patio has an awning incase of rain, you're covered, literally). The packages offered are extremely reasonable. With several options and add-ons available we were really able to customize exactly what we wanted. We also loved that everythinge is on one level (as we had some guests unable to do stairs). The finished patio off the bar is beautiful. Our guests loved playing cornhole during cocktail hour and throughout the evening. Jaimie was awesome and on top of things every step of the way. She was easy to work with, very responsive any time we reached out and always professional. Jaimie and Dave were very accommodating to our wants and needs. From the scenery to the staff and everything in between Normanside made our wedding what it was. We couldn't be more thankful we choose them as our venue.

Hi, I’m Bridget — but you can call me Bee, cause that’s what my friends call me! And since we’re basically already best friends, let me tell you a secret: taking pictures isn’t even the thing I love most about my job. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m as obsessed with taking gorgeous, dripping-in-light photos that you’ll look back on for ages as much as the next photographer. But what I really love? Meeting the most kind-hearted people and getting to know them on a level much deeper than the typical client-photographer relationship.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we hired Bridget, we knew we were in great hands. She was not just a photographer, but a true partner throughout the entire wedding planning process. Her support was invaluable as she helped guide us through timelines and offered advice on how to make our day even more special. From our engagement photos to our wedding day, she truly went above and beyond. She was not only an incredible photographer but also the ultimate hype girl—cheering us on, keeping us calm, and making sure every moment was captured beautifully. Her attention to detail was incredible; no special moment was missed, and she seamlessly blended candid shots with stunning portraits. When we received our photos, we were absolutely blown away! Each image was more beautiful than we could have imagined—emotions, laughter, and love were all perfectly captured. The photos felt like a reflection of our story, and we’ll cherish them forever. Thank you, Bridget, for making our wedding day unforgettable and for giving us memories that will last a lifetime! We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer.

Shawn did an awesome job! He did the music for our wedding ceremony, the music for the reception, provided uplighting, and the photobooth. My now husband and I enjoyed working with Shawn. He is funny, easy going, and patient. His questionnaire is very detailed and is very helpful for pulling the music together for the day. He also was very focused on making sure my now husband and I heard what we wanted to hear for the music. During the ceremony, Shawn timed the music perfectly. We saw later watching videos that he even cut the microphone out for my brother, the officiant of the wedding, when my brother almost started talking over parents walking down the aisle. Thanks for that, Shawn! Later in the night, we had other challenges with our timeline due to longer than expected speeches, too many tables to say hi to, and my own indecisiveness. Shawn handled all these obstacles very smoothly, kept an eye on the crowd and helped us stay in tune with when we needed to get the dance floor going. He played the songs we requested and helped us out with choosing songs for younger people. Since the wedding went by so quickly, I think the thing I am most grateful for is all the photos and videos he took of the night. The day was a bit of a blur and Shawn let us relive the night by sending us tons of photos and videos of everyone dancing. Thank you for that, Shawn!

But more importantly I am a wedding, lifestyle and adventure elopement photographer based out of NYC. Weddings and elopements are one of my passions because witnessing love and marriage is one of the most beautiful things we can witness. When shooting with me, expect to have tons of fun and lots of laughs because I like to be weird! Life is too short to be normal! I photograph all types of love.

We 1000000% recommend Jaci for any of your photography needs! She took our engagement photos and shot our wedding last weekend and she is an absolute DREAM to work with. Her confidence, poise, warmth and positivity helped us stay calm and have fun during the busy wedding day. We heard so many compliments from our loved ones who were also so impressed with her attitude and demeanor. And this is all before we saw the photos: her work is UNREAL. We are truly blown away- they are stunning, and capture the JOY and FUN and LOVE we experienced. I get emotional looking at just the sneak peek gallery because it so beautifully memorializes what it felt like on that day, and now we can share it with our grandparents who couldn't make the journey, and ourselves for decades to come.

Katie and her team were always honest and told us what was going to work easily and what would be more of a "logistical challenge." When they tell you the bus can't pick up at 4 different locations and get your guest all to the wedding on time... Listen to them, they know what they are talking about! We added an extra bus and are so glad we listened.

I hired Alisha about a year out from my wedding, and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. She took my vision and absolutely glorified it. When I visited her for my trial, we instantly connected and hit it off. She worked with me through some of my personal kinks and styles. I discussed with her my vision of relating it back to a book series and you know what she did? She went ahead and read that series to get a better understanding of my ideas! And not only did she understand, she straight up brought it to life. Alisha is so sweet and understanding, super down to earth, and an amazing stylist. She treated everyone as if they were the star of the day and she’s just an amazingly talented person. Her prices are a key point, but honestly hiring her made me want to just be her friend by the end of everything. If you’re not hiring Alisha for your wedding day, you’re doing it wrong.

On our wedding day, the sun shown bright, the trees sparkled with color and the air vibrated magic. Every day in between, the team at Spano Lake was there to help us with the details. And when the unexpected things happened, as they do during weddings, Jackie and Danny were right there with us. Our wedding day was a beautiful start to our wonderful new life together and we were so happy with our choice to start off at the Rosemary!

Alex is absolutely the BEST at what she does!!! She is so warm, attentive, and thorough at making sure I felt like the bride I always wanted to be on my big day. Our trial run was so much fun, and she had complete grace and flexibility on the big day when it turned out I wanted to change EVERYTHING (God bless her!!). I was sick the morning of my wedding, but Alex rolled with it effortlessly, moved around the morning-of-schedule to style half of my bridesmaids’ hair and makeup, and worked absolutely masterfully under all the pressure of having half the time to finish me as the bride. Truly, she is nimble, professional, creative and has the BEST energy to be around on the biggest day of your life. I would absolutely hire her again, and because I chose her, I get to look back on the photos from my wedding for the rest of my life feeling the most beautiful I’ve ever felt. Thank you for everything Alex!!

Tyler and Dream Space Weddings were a dream to work with! With my college graduation, wedding and cross country move all within 1 month, Tyler's expertise, flexibility and communication skills really helped bring my wedding to life. He perfectly preserved the day in a beautiful film that is absolutely timeless which we could share with our friends and family soon. Leading up to the wedding, he provided example timelines that helped me outline the structure of the wedding (as I planned it myself)! Day of, he was everywhere and no where all at once! He was there when you needed him, and blended perfectly into the background as he captured the festivities! All and all a great experience and I am so glad I selected Dream Space Weddings!

Cathy founded Cathy's Elegant Events in 2010. Although she was born in NYC, her family moved to the Catskill Mountains at a young age, but they maintained a home in Brooklyn. This allowed her to have a unique upbringing in both Upstate New York and Brooklyn, where many of her relatives still reside. Cathy holds a degree in Mathematics and Statistics.

It was so fun getting to spend time with her and getting to know her during this process. Cathy made every little detail of our fairytale wedding come true. She was terrific during the planning process. When I wanted to try to handle projects myself, she stepped back and let me handle them, but was always there if I needed advice or help with anything. When I needed her to be more involved and hands on, I felt completely confident and comfortable letting her take things in the direction that she felt was best. She was always quick to answer emails and talk on the phone to hash out big picture items or last minute details. The week leading up to the wedding Cathy was AMAZING. We spent almost 2 hours on the phone making sure every last detail was taken care of and exactly the way I envisioned it. She ran our ceremony in the pouring rain and was always cheerful and positive, she was there for me for moral support all afternoon while I was getting ready, she helped setup the barn and ceremony beautifully and made sure every detail was in order. During the ceremony and reception, she made sure that my husband and I were taken care of the entire evening. Our day was absolutely perfect from start to finish and Cathy's expertise, guidance and help played such a huge part in the success of our wedding day. Thank you Cathy!! Tim and I are so grateful for all the hardwork and love you put into making our day great.

the String Girls want to help you walk down the aisle to the music you love, personalized for you. We can take your vision and turn it into reality with beautiful memorable live music. Whether you're into top 40 hits, there's a classical piece you can't get out of your head, or your wedding day would not be complete without a reference to your favorite series or movie, we can create the perfect processional for you.

I worked with Bridie and Olivia this past summer at our mutual client's wedding. They were on time, professional, easy to work with and overall a joy! They asked all the right questions leading up to the ceremony and were on point once we began. From a vendors perspective, they were all you can ask for! I have added them to my vendor recommendation sheet and will continue to tell future couples and other vendors about their impressive musical abilities and lovely personalities. They can play everything from classical to Taylor Swift which clients love. Can't wait to work with them again!

From NY to TX, then back again... I started my photography adventure 10 years ago in a small studio in upstate, New York. Since then, I've traveled across the country, taking pictures the entire time. I've captured a lifetime of memories in pictures, and now, I hope I can do the same for you! I specialize in weddings and portraiture, with experience in real estate photography as well! I love helping my customers make memories to cherish for years to come. When I'm not taking pictures, I am working as a nurse and dreaming of the days when I can put my toes in the sand with my nieces in Cape Cod.

Katharine M. Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. As a great communicator who responds quickly, Katharine made us feel so comfortable and helped make our wedding day fun and stress-free. Her work is amazing - the photos are beautiful and perfect, capturing every special moment. She followed our shot list to a tee and then some, even handling our pushy father-in-law gracefully when he tried to take over. I've used Katharine for both our wedding and engagement photos, and I'm thrilled I did. Her go-with-the-flow style was exactly what I needed on the big day.

I could go on endlessly about how amazing the Maples Estate, and Katie and Louis are but I’ll try to keep it brief! From our first interactions with Katie, which was via a virtual tour, my husband and I knew there was something special here. We immediately booked an in-person tour, and once we stepped foot on the property we knew this was where we would get married. The estate itself is stunningly unreal. In the middle of the mountains, beautiful views all around, wild flowers in abundance, a beautiful river, the pavilion is a dream, and so many options for your event locations - all of which are magical. Our wedding party stayed with us in the house and we all felt so comfortable. With 17 of us in total it was awesome to have the space to be together comfortably as we played games or shared a meal. The getting ready room is beautiful, it is a fun space to prepare in and the photos will be epic. We added on partial planning to our contract, so we worked with Katie throughout our wedding preparations. Katie is fantastic! She made us feel so comfortable, which made it easy to collaborate. Katie made our design board, every time I shared it with a vendor the response was “oh my gosh did you make this?!” Katie’s design skills are amazing, organization is on point, she is calm and quick to respond, and her list of vendors is expansive and everyone we worked with was just as amazing as Katie and Louis. If you are thinking about the Maples Estate, go for it! We had a wedding that was so uniquely us and that was because Katie and Louis gave us the space to do so. At every point Katie embraced our ideas, embraced our family and friends, and allowed our relationship to be reflected in an amazing weekend. We are so grateful and lucky to have found them! We are rooting for a couples reunion event or something so we can visit them soon.

Very professional and cost friendly. I will be asking her to shoot all our important moments from here on out. Thank you Molly!!

Creek Water Blooms specializes in fully customized wood flower floristry. All arrangements are made with soft realistic wood flowers and faux/preserved fillers to create floral arrangements that can you can enjoy forever. Every flower is handmade, painted and arranged to ensure your wedding flowers are exactly what you envisioned! There’s no waste from throwing away dead flowers and the wood flowers are made from an eco friendly material. Wood flowers also prevent allergy issues, scent sensitivity and wilting. They’re the perfect way to enjoy your flowers on your wedding day and every day after.

Jessica, the owner of Creek Water Blooms, is absolutely incredible! Starting the process, we didn’t have a clear vision for our flowers, but she asked all of the right questions and created a bouquet and boutonnière that are even more perfect than anything we could have come up with ourselves. She included us in every step along the way (sending pictures of flower samples, paint/dye tests, etc.) and made the process extremely easy and stress-free. We got so many compliments on our flowers from our vendors, wedding guests and complete strangers; they photograph beautifully, are light-weight and less fragile than natural flowers. Best of all, we get to keep our flowers for life without the cost and stress of preservation. If you’re looking for beautiful, customized, long-lasting flowers and you want to work with a professional who takes the stress out of planning, then we absolutely recommend Jessica at Creek Water Blooms.

Wedding and event band based in New York’s Capital Region. We do cocktail jazz, wedding receptions, ceremony music and more. Today, jazz is a rarity, especially in its purist live form. This condition is a result of its limited availability, and the higher prevalence of rock bands in most areas. We at T. L. Holloway seek to alleviate this issue. As students of the jazz classics, we seek to provide authentic American jazz to venues and events all over the Northeastern United States.

Steve and his band were INCREDIBLE at our wedding. They were phenomenal at feeling out the energy, keeping the energy up when everyone was on the dance floor, and just playing bangers that our guests of all ages were able to sing to. Truly the classics but enough variety that it wasn’t always overly played songs. Our guests were chanting “one more song” at the end. Before the wedding Steve was so kind and responsive, working with us to make sure he knew the schedule precisely plus the vibe we were going for. We have been raving about them for weeks after the wedding. I hope we have some other opportunity to have them again, but I would highly recommend having Steve and co. make your event memorable.
