Awarded Best of Zola
Have about 200 people showing up to your reception and want to guarantee that everyone from your aunts and uncles to your most particular friend all send you texts about how perfect your wedding band was? Great, you're done with your search. We worked with The Hook Club on an ambitious two-day wedding, which included them doing live sound for our Friday welcome party, live sound for the music at our ceremony, some deep cut requests, and our desire to not just have "another wedding band." What we got was an incredibly talented, creative, and kind group of people who were ready to make whatever we wanted happen, ready to add ideas and layers, and who then completely blew away our expectations. We're in that era of our lives where we've been to about 100 weddings in the last 10 years, and we can honestly say that no band has even come close to The Hook Club. A year later everyone is still talking about how great our band was. They are true professionals in every sense of the word, and you should seriously consider booking your venue around whether or not THC is available. That's not hyperbole - they were that good.

Gage Horne Studios

  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Hamden, CT for additional fees

My name is Gage Horne, the owner of Gage Horne Studios. I started my company in 2019 (officially) but have been doing video work starting at the age of 11. It started as gaming videos uploaded to YouTube, to shooting professional dance films in college, to starting my own Video Production Service. I found true passion in my work when I realized how important wedding videos are. I had already shot 100+ films before my wedding but realized as a consumer how valuable it is. I love what I do and finding intriguing/interesting ways to display those pieces is what keeps me creative and constantly making my films better.

Awarded Best of Zola
Gage was the videographer at our wedding. Words can’t express how grateful we were to hire him. He captured all the special moments and pieced them together in such a way that I know it will be something we cherish for years to come. He was punctual, professional, and easy and fun to work with. Any ideas or thoughts we had he executed and also incorporated some of his own that were perfect. We paid extra for the audio which I am glad we did so we have our vows recorder. After the wedding he remained in contact with us and made sure he capture our vision. I highly recommend Gage for your wedding videographer!

When my husband and I started our wedding planning journey, we wanted to find a DJ that would be able to play music form both my culture (Haitian) and my husbands (Puerto Rican). During my search, his business popped up on IG. I went through his IG profile and knew he was the one I wanted. I sent his profile to my husband and he sold. What also sold us was all the extra services he had! Everything all in one place. In all I booked the sparklers, smoke machine, 360 Photo Booth, an Emcee, and gobo lights. My first dance, OMG. Guests are sending me videos they took. Being in the experience was one thing. Watching the videos, I couldn’t stop crying at how beautiful it turned out. The smoke machine and sparklers just brought everything together. Everyone RAVED about the 360 booth. And the MUSIC. We didnt stop moving all night. I got so many phone calls that week about how great the music was, how sore people were from dancing all night lol. We had a diverse group of people and he was able to reach everyone. Soooo glad IG was listening lol. Thank you so much DJ Jeanyo!

Marcus was hired as our wedding DJ and we had the most terrific experience with him. He was professional, thoughtful, and very respectful. We had a pretty set idea on what kind of music we wanted to play for our guest (think dance, sing alongs, and a strict list of "Do Not Plays" which he was able to take and run with. He was extremely easy to trust, which we found to be very important early on in our wedding planning process. Every song he played that night had every single guest out their seat and on the dance just as we wished! Marcus timed our entire wedding to the second, and it ran extremely smooth. I simply can not say enough words about Marcus, but if you are considering him, he will not disappoint. Absolutely recommend!!!

I am over the moon with how absolutely perfect things were with DJ Zach! I have very particular music tastes and knew I didn't want your "typical" wedding music (though I'm sure Zach could do a great job with that too); after vibing with Zach on the phone and connecting over our shared love of music, I felt confident he could deliver a wedding I could be personally proud of. And boy, did he deliver! We had an absolutely packed dance floor all night. He did such a fantastic job taking the cue from my song selections and finding the beautiful middle ground between music lover and crowd pleaser. I'm so thrilled Zach was my partner-in-music and helped create my dream wedding!

We are incredibly happy with our wedding photos! Bailey really has "the eye." Her artsy and elegant photos are magazine-worthy and really tell a story. If you're looking for the opposite of cheesy wedding photography, your search ends here. I was already quite certain I was going to book Bailey based on her portfolio alone, but the introductory video phone call sealed the deal. Bailey's warm and friendly personality really puts you at ease, and by the time our wedding day(s) (an elopement and later reception) arrived, it felt like we were having our pictures taken by a dear friend.

Awarded Best of Zola
Justin was lovely to work with from the start. He was booked for another wedding, but he paired us up with Rob, an associate DJ of his. Both Rob and Justin were so so fun to work with. Rob took the time to text or set up whatever zoom calls we felt we needed. For the actual day, Rob was amazing. We had dinner service, reception, and "after party". Robs killed it with his flow between songs, and was incredibly accommodating and flexible if we had any requests in the moment, and was able to dodge or handle any "questionable" song requests that came his way. We knew that he always put my husband and I's wishes first. We also had multiple people comment on how good the DJ was during the reception, and after the fact! He also went above and beyond to pull heroics the day of to get some of our DIY spot lighting set up that wasn't set up the night prior. Rob was incredible to work with, and just as fun to chat with. Will miss working with them, but absolutely will be following their journeys and would use them again in a heartbeat! So thankful for Justin and Rob!

Voted #1 Best Band / Live Entertainment in Orlando Magazine's 2024 Best of Wedding Awards. Imagine your wedding day unfolding with music that perfectly complements each joyous moment. As you walk down the aisle, heartwarming melodies set the stage for your love story to come alive. This is the magic that Orlando wedding musician Aloha Erica creates for couples. Do you dream of: A romantic ceremony filled with enchanting melodies? An elegant cocktail hour where guests mingle to beautiful music? An unforgettable first dance? Aloha Erica curates a personalized soundscape you and your guests will be raving about forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
I'd summarize Erica in three words: thoughtful, professional, and most importantly, talented. Erica approaches her craft with you in mind. She takes the time to listen to your wants in an effort to tailor her performance to your day. For example, Erica spent the time to discuss everything from what we wanted the day to feel like to specific song requests. We selected a song she hadn't performed (Fields of Gold by Kina Grannis). She took the time to learn the song to ensure our wedding day tracked our expectations, and she did a fantastic job to boot! From start to finish, Erica operated like a well oiled machine. She knows how to fit into your wedding timeline and who to coordinate with to ensure a smooth process — she takes this burden off your plate. For example, Erica reached out to us when she knew it was time to start discussing our music and she took the initiative to reach out to our wedding planner to coordinate everything from when she sings, the audio set up, etc. I didn't have to double check or follow up with her once, and the day went flawlessly. Lastly, and again, most importantly, Erica is an amazing singer and musician. She can sing everything from upbeat classics to the slow song you select for your first dance. Many of our guests raved about Erica and the class and charm she brought to our day. Her voice, guitar skills, and presence is of high quality, and she was a huge value add to our wedding day. I can't recommend Erica enough. If you hire her, you won't be disappointed — I promise!

Hi, I'm Sophia, a 26-year-old wedding photographer based just outside DC in NoVA. Capturing love stories through my lens is not just a job but a profound joy that I cherish with every wedding I photograph. It's been six years and I've photographed close to 100 weddings which seems unreal! The photography gene runs in my family, my great-grandfather had his own photography studio in Panama and from there, knowledge of photography was passed down through the generations of my family to me. I believe in always having fun and prioritizing an stress-free lifestyle which translates into my photography style — vibrant, authentic, and joyful.

  • Photographer

  • Serves Hamden, CT for additional fees

Hi! I’m Justin (he/him) and I’m here to affirm your love, make you feel like a fucking rockstar, and dance like a total fool. Oh, and take so many gorgeous photos of y’all. Obvs. My style blends both documentary photojournalism and fine art photography: coaching folks who are shy in front of the camera, then stepping back to capture authentic moments uninterrupted. I’ve been lucky enough to have my work published by A Practical Wedding, The New York Times, GLAMOUR, People Magazine and many other fabulous outlets. I'm a stereotypical Capricorn that loves drag shows, campy horror films, every dog I meet, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Awarded Best of Zola
I don't even know where to begin. TL/DR: Hire Justin. If you are looking for a person who is as responsible as he is fun, whose pictures are an absurdly brilliant mix of editorial, candid, and artistic; who manages to capture the most joyful moments in the most moving ways, look no further. Photography was important to me; as a bride who had many friends go down the aisle before me, I tried to heed their advice: the photographer is perhaps the most important investment you can make. When I saw Justin's pictures, one word came to mind: "joy."  There was a vibrancy and humanity to his work that made me tear up just looking at his website.  This, combined with the very obvious technical skill he possessed, made me thrilled that he was still available on our wedding date.  Our initial phone call set the tone for the whole process: fun and incredibly thorough and organized.  Indeed, throughout the whole process, Justin was our go to for any questions we had; as the photographer, it made sense for him to keep an eye on logistics, but we were unprepared for how above and beyond Justin would go to make sure our day ran smoothly, from the planning process to execution. Don't let his insanely fun personality fool you: at our wedding he was heads and tails the most professional person there, ready with his shot list, keeping things moving; and yet somehow managed to keep the mood light, fun, and a little bit raunchy. Indeed, a good word for Justin is "prepared."  We had a survey to fill out before our big day, to let him know just what elements were most important to us. When I saw the photos, I couldn't believe how closely he had followed this. The sheer artistry on display, and the range of shots, it didn't seem like just one person could be responsible. The variety and quality was incredible.  And that was a direct result of our having asked for that; that is the wonderful thing about Justin, he cares deeply about his clients and pays attention to them; despite his talent there is no ego involved. He also seems to care deeply about his clients' family...and their friends...and all the wedding guests; everyone commented on how friendly and professional and fun he was. I could go on, likely, forever, but a final note: for my husband and I, the most important thing was capturing the people who came that day to celebrate with us; that was what we wanted to remember most.  We told this to Justin, and when I got the pictures back, I was blown away-- his ability to capture the essence of our family and friends, the way he captured distinct mannerisms, gestures...it was uncanny. That requires training, and artistry; but also kindness, empathy and depth.  Justin has all of those in spades.  It was important for my husband and I to hire someone we wanted to spend the day with; we didn't want him to leave! In post-production, Justin has been just as generous with his time and wrapping up any loose ends.  He stays in touch and makes sure you are thrilled with the final product. It was a pleasure to get to know him and we hope we are cool enough for him to be a part of our lives forever!

Thalia is truly a dream - to work with, to communicate with & to be with. Her work speaks for itself - I’ve never seen someone capture events the way she does. It’s like reliving the day. She is simultaneously incredibly helpful and present and yet you barely notice she’s there until you review the photos and are like wow she even got that small moment! As someone who has never loved posed photos / being in wedding photos I have to say Thalia completely changed my tune. She is truly a joy to work with an artist beyond comprehension. I cannot wait for another excuse to hire her again.

With her expertise, an assortment of poppies, ranunculus, chamomile, sweet peas, smilax, etc., brought so much beauty, life, and color to our wedding day. Every design element - from my bridal bouquet to tablescapes and tent installations to our ceremony chuppah (undoubtedly, the most stunning chuppah I've ever seen) - was perfect. Not only does Shade Studios deliver an incredible product, but Ayla is also just cool.

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

Awarded Best of Zola
When my now husband and I met Diana, we knew she was the one to photograph our wedding day. Her pictures are light, airy and capture every intimate moment. During the engagement session and our wedding day, we both could relax and be in the moment while she photographed. All of our guests complimented on how great and professional Diana is and absolutely our engagement and wedding photos. We love the fact we were able to share a link to our photos to friends and family with ease vs having them wait for us to post on social media. We highly recommend using Diana for all your special moments. She is willing to travel to capture special moments which is an added bonus.

I have been fortunate to photograph 200+ weddings in my PNW home, to ruins in Scotland, cityscapes in Vietnam, to the beaches of Maui, and beyond! I live in Portland, Oregon with my partner, two dogs, and four cats | 🏳️‍🌈🦖⛰️✈️📸⚽🫶🏼🌈🌲🦕🏝 Fun Fact: I was born on Leap Year Day so I turn 9 this year 🥳!

Leah photographed our wedding at my family's property in Napa Valley, June 2024. Leah took lots of time to scope out the location and seemed to be absolutely *everywhere* during the wedding, at all the right moments. I didn't have to call her over once, because she was already there. She captured the emotions of the day, the little moments, the big moments, and made our day look like the fairytale wedding that it felt like. Once we got the photo gallery back (so quickly!) we relived the day all over again. We were tearing up and laughing at all the photos. I felt like I was looking at photos from a Brides magazine, but it was me! Another thing I'll mention is that Leah gives direction in a kind, calm and encouraging way. My husband is not too confident in photos and he felt SO comfortable posing with her there, and loves his photos too! I felt like she could guide me into more flattering poses when I felt uncertain about my angles. I love Leah and her work and would recommend her to anyone!

I want to capture your wedding for you in a way that will bring memories, laughter, crying, and dancing for years to come. I create emotional storytelling wedding films for my couples and this is more than a profit, it's my heart on it.

JP and David were wonderful to work with! They were professional, and got all the important aspects of our day. They even delivered our video content faster than expected which was a fun surprise to relive the wedding day after the chaos was all over. The implementation of our MOHs&BM’s speeches, along with the officiant and our private vows into our final wedding video was amazing and was so cohesive with the lyrics and shots that JP chose. You can tell there was a lot of thought and heart put into our video and we couldn’t be more thankful for that. It was truly a pleasure to work with JP and his team! I am so glad we will have these memories to look back on and will cherish them forever.

My name is Holly and I capture timeless memories in one of the most hectic days of your life. I fell in love with photography in school but really took an interest after my son was born. Wanting to make sure I documented every little thing he did so I could remember years after was important to me. That turned into what is Holly Johnston Photography today. My passion is to document all of the moments through out your day so you can remember them years after, when you look back at your photos. I want you to be transported back to that day and remember all of the emotions and love.

My gift is my vulnerability, passion, and dedication. I believe every image has the power to evoke emotions that can't be expressed in words. I'm dedicated to creating imagery that speaks to your heart and soul, capturing the essence of a moment and evoking powerful emotions that will last a lifetime. I want to be your newest best friend behind the camera, capturing your honest love, the miracle of life, and your passion for life. Your truth is my mission.

When searching for a photographer, I was overwhelmed by the number of options available. Dominique didn’t make me feel pressured. She provided us with her wedding guide, which gave us insight into who she is. When we met remotely, I instantly knew she was the one. She was enthusiastic, listened attentively, and asked us questions about what is important to us leading up to the wedding and beyond. She was great to work with, and I knew what to expect. She drafted our timeline, offered recommendations, and helped us design it based on what was important to my husband and me. She curated a family shot list, and let me tell you, she did not disappoint. Her and her team were amazing.

Team Yellow Rose truly brought our vision to life. From our initial consultation, I knew that Isabel and I were on the same page. Isabel was creative with different ways to maintain our budget. She went above and beyond by MAKING CANDLES in the exact shade I wanted when we could not find any. Though we did not meet in person often, she was always a quick text or call away which we really valued. I can't thank this team enough for making our dream wedding a reality.
