Maria Pennacchi Makeup

Brooklyn, NY
  • Beauty professional
  • Starts at $400
  • Serves Howard Beach, NY

I’ve been creating Glam and natural Bridal looks for over 3 years and learning the latest trends with makeup in New York. What started as a hobby led me to launch my business as a freelance makeup artist three years ago and I’ve since been certified by Lauren D’amelio, Kryolan Cosmetics and twelve international artists from The Makeup Lovers Conference. I also work with editorial clients creating daring yet on brand looks. I have an upcoming project to execute the makeup vision for an ad campaign in Times Square for ShopYahaira Shapewear. Make sure to look out for it!

Maria did my makeup for my 2021 NYE wedding, and I could not have felt (or looked) more glamorous! Maria was meticulous with her attention to detail and helped ensure my very sensitive eyes would stay perfect all day and night. She helped get me in for a trial during the busy holiday season, listened to my suggestions and created a masterpiece of a look that lasted well over 12 hours. In addition to creating the perfect look for me, my mom and friends who also received makeup services looked like movie stars!

Skylark Music 

5.0

Beacon, NY
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $800
  • Serves Howard Beach, NY

Jesse and Justin have been playing music together since they met performing in a band at Disneyland in 2001. After moving to Beacon, NY around the same time, it made sense to start an official wedding music business to share their love of music with some of the many happy couples getting married in the Hudson Valley. One thing they love about playing music for weddings is the variety that is required of them. Every gig is different and they all happen on one of the happiest days of the clients' lives!

Awarded Best of Zola
Skylark played live music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and we also used them as our reception DJ. Planning a wedding, even a small one like ours, can be stressful, but Skylark made the process so easy.Leading up to our wedding they were super helpful, communicative and responsive, making sure that we were prepared. They played our ceremony and recession songs beautifully, and even helped us figure out the best point in the song to start walking down the aisle. The live cocktail hour music was also great: it was tasteful, classy, fun and incorporated our song requests. After cocktail hour Justin stuck around and Dj’ed the wedding, he did a great job of matching the vibe of the crowd - even though we had a small intimate wedding with no dance floor, many people got out and started dancing! Would highly recommend working with Skylark - they make the process fun and easy and their love and knowledge of music truly shows!

Rachel & her team are so calm & whenever we threw anything new at them they always managed to figure out a solution (even when it was at the last second).

Steven Rosen Photography 

5.0

Brooklyn, NY
  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Howard Beach, NY

I have been a photographer for the last 20 years, shooting weddings, elopements and portraits. I'm proud to have shot more than 150 same-sex weddings, which is probably more than, well, just about anyone. That said, I’ve worked with as many straight couples as LGBTQ ones. I don't discriminate. There are many other photographers whose work inspire me, but my primary inspiration comes from painters. Rembrandt, Vermeer, Sargent, to name a few.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do we start. Firstly let us say that we would highly recommend Steven for your wedding photographer, the photographs he captured for us on our special day far exceeded what we expected. From our first Teams meeting with Steven to his replies to the numerous e-mails we sent, Steven was always a pleasure to work with and nothing was too much trouble for him. On the actual day, himself & Dan (his assistant) put our nerves at ease and being the perfectionist Steven is, he would always make sure he 'got the shot'. We provided Steven with a 'wish list' of places we would like photographs taken, on the day we managed to do them all. Besides being our photographer (and witness), Steven also recommended Brooklyn Promenade as the location for our wedding ceremony, having Manhattan skyline & Brooklyn Bridge as your back drop was stunning. All in all we couldn't have been happier so only have one more thing to say 'book Steven as your photographer' :-)

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 

4.9

Oklahoma City, OK
  • Florist
  • Serves Howard Beach, NY

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

Awarded Best of Zola
I ordered the "peaches and cream" small package. We decided to skip on ceremony florals, and only have handhelds and bud vases at the reception. We did buy a few more flowers from the grocery to add more peach once the flowers arrived. We made and medium sized bridal bouquet, 4 bridesmaids bouquets, 3 corsages, and 7 bouts. (With lots of flowers left over). My bridesmaids and I did the arranging the morning before the wedding; it was fun, and a great start to the weekend. None of us had experience, but it all turned out great! If you or your bridal party are mildly crafty, I'd highly recommend it!

Alex did such an amazing job on our wedding video… and I couldn’t believe how fast the edit was, a total of 9 days! Alex and Adam were both at our wedding day, arrived at our air bnb promptly. Even though I must add, they were a bit quiet at first which made me extra shy.. therefore I had to hit a few shots to calm my nerves, but both were both very kind and sweet. The way the edits were for the short-film were made so differently than what I’m used to other weddings. You would either see Alex and Adam pass by and take a 10-second clip/recording and then swiftly give us pointers on what he wanted to capture. It’s so crazy to see such simple efforts and recordings … but turned out sooo beautifully captured. I have shown the video to MANY of my family, friends & colleagues and guests, and I must tell you about 8/10 were quite moved and emotional. Also, the song choice of mine really did add the cherry on top… I was in awe and watery-eyed when I realized Alex had the edit done within 9 days after our wedding on April 16, 2023, and the edit was sent on April 25, 2023. Alex, thank you for being a part of our day and a moment in our lives I’d never forget. Life gets us sometimes, and sometimes even the best of us. But whatever life paths you face, you will face with grace and triumph it through, through all the hardships, Alex. I remember what we spoke about briefly, and just know, “Everything will always turn out okay.” You have a gift, and I’m so glad you shared it with us. Thank you also to Adam for also being a part of our journey, all of us together. Kaitlin, you have been nothing but amazing throughout this 1 year of communication. You never failed to not respond to any of my emails, and you always given me reassurance and without a doubt, given me such a smooth process while I was planning our wedding all by myself. You made this process easy yet enjoyable. I would love to work with you and the team or Shutter & Sound again someday. But most definitely, refer this amazing company for giving me a piece of our lives that we can re-watch again and again. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

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.

Justin did a truly beautiful job in photographing our wedding at NYC’s City Hall and in short, we cannot recommend him enough. He is a beyond talented photographer and knew seemingly everything about how to capture the joy and excitement of us getting married. Just as importantly, he was a tireless cheerleader for us and had an encyclopedic knowledge of places to go and ways to compose pictures that are beautiful, varied, and memorable. The result of Justin’s efforts was a book of wedding photos that we were thrilled by, shared with all our family, and will treasure for the rest of our lives. He is truly an exceptional photographer and cannot be recommended more highly.

He narrated our guys vs girls flip cup game and even judged (girls won by default).

We sent them photos of the house we'd be celebrating in, and they imagined the most BEAUTIFUL setting that complemented the space while elevating it to fit our occasion. (and make it much more than just an average dinner at home!) And they did not disappoint. When we walked in after our church ceremony, we were blown away by the elegant flowers adorning the tables, stairs, mantles, and stoop. Our personal flowers were an incredible reflection of our requested vision too, striking a balance between organic and traditional. Sonya and Eva were a great team to work with, understanding our vision but also offering their expert opinions with suggestions as to how we could best execute our ideas. And when we had a last minute additional request, they jumped in without a problem! The About team made our intimate wedding a stunning special occasion we will never forget, and I can't recommend them enough. Thank you, Sonya and Eva!

He even went above and beyond for our engagement session as well as our wedding. The photos came out beautiful as he captured both posed and candid moments wonderfully.

Working with Jesse and his team at Visual Event Films was one of the GREATEST decisions we made! Jesse crafted an unforgettable masterpiece that encapsulated our love story in breathtaking detail. We chose his "Full Story Wedding Videography Package" as it offered something that no other videographer did: a one-of-a-kind, unique, personal wedding video that encompassed our entire story. Jesse met with us multiple times before the wedding to listen to our stories and learn our backgrounds. His dedication and talent in storytelling is unmatched as he used this information to create a narrative that encompassed our most important themes and values. He even scouted beautiful locations where we filmed an additional day (outside of our wedding day) with us. These extra clips added SO much to our video because it highlighted our true personalities and us doing our favorite things together. The quality of Jesse's equipment is phenomenal: his cameras filmed every single moment with precision and detail. The vivid colors and and rich contrasts could be seen in every clip, and looked as if we were in a real movie. There were slow motion shots that are crystal clear and stunning. Lastly, Jesse and his team were easy to contact and very prompt throughout the wedding day. They were at every location, prepared and ready. We are forever grateful we went with Visual Event Films - they are are the best of their kind in the tristate area!

Hi! I'm Sarah. Congratulations on taking the next step in your wedding planning! Choosing to work with me earns you more than just a photographer; you get a hype-girl, a dress fluffer, a confidant and a new best friend. Since we are now future besties, here's what you should know about me: My love for portraiture stems from the joy it brings me to make others feel beautiful. Few things make me feel as giddy as photographing weddings, engagements & proposals, and I can't wait to capture the next stage of your love story. My strengths lie in natural lighting, illuminating colors, and catching the candid moments that make you, you.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had to change photographers due to changing venues, and like a beacon of light or a divine intervention from God- I was referred to Sarah by another photographer. From our first zoom meeting I knew she was the one (it took me faster to realize she was the one than it took me to realize my husband was the one!). She was just so knowledgeable and passionate about her craft. She had such a burst of energy and enthusiasm which was very needed, because the time we were going through was so stressful. Fast forward to the wedding day, we were running behind because other vendors were super late. I was even more stressed and there were too many details to remember. Sarah was extremely patient and kind. She made me feel beautiful and grounded. She kept praising me and guiding me through pictures. I got sneak peeks in less than a week and I almost fainted at the beauty of them! I couldn’t believe they were my pictures. If the sneak peeks were that beautiful, I cannot WAIT to see the rest! Sarah please don’t stop doing what you do. You truly have a gift. You listened to what I wanted, you hyped us up, you ignored my bridezilla moments and you worked soooo hard to capture our beautiful day. If we need an NYC photoshoot, you’ll be the first one to call! We love you 3

Emily is a true gem. We hired her to shoot our tiny wedding (with two weeks' notice!) and from our intro call to shoot prep and location scouting, she brought fun ideas, joy, and kindness to us when we really needed it! Every idea and brainstorm was collaborative, and she presented new thoughts with so much compassion—and she was brilliant! Her suggestions for our first look were perfect, and she was willing to have fun with us the whole time. She goes above and beyond in editing—we got so many gorgeous photos only three weeks after the wedding. She's affordable, flexible, compassionate, and fun—we felt like we were working with an old friend. She made sure to get to know both of us so that she could make us as comfortable as possible. Having Emily as our photographer was a highlight of the day, and she's our go-to from now on.

Our experience with Dulcigno Wedding Films and Gezim was absolutely fantastic. From our first meeting, Gezim's professionalism and passion for his craft were evident. On our wedding day, he was incredibly attentive and managed to capture every important moment without being intrusive. The final film was a beautiful, cinematic piece that perfectly encapsulated the emotions and joy of our day. Gezim's attention to detail and creative vision exceeded our expectations, leaving us with a timeless keepsake.

As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking.

There is nothing I love more than photographing weddings - a day full of raw emotion and I get to document and make art of out it! I'm a newlywed so I totally get what you're going through! We recently adulted hard and bought a house - next up is a dog! Please tag me in all funny dog videos :) I love occasionally working out, always eating cookies, and watching nonstop romantic comedies - especially while I edit (let's not talk about how many times I've seen Dirty Dancing). Can't wait to meet you!

I have told everyone I know that the decision to marry my husband was the first best decision I made and hiring Michelle as our wedding photographer was the second best!! She is hands down the most amazing and talented person to work with on your wedding day! From the very first Email Michelle makes you feel like you guys have been friends for years! She is so down to earth and instantly makes you feel comfortable whether its through email, FaceTime or over the phone she makes it known that she is there for you the entire planning process. Michelle answers every single email almost instantly and no question is ever a dumb question. She will walk you through every single minute of your wedding day to make sure things run smoothly and so you have nothing to worry about the day of, and she even calls the shots when it comes to getting the family in order for family pictures. My biggest concern when looking for a photographer was how I always felt my husband and I weren’t the most photogenic people and we aren’t comfortable in front of the camera and boy was I wrong. Michelle not only captured some of the most beautiful pictures of us together but she captured the pure love we share and feel for each other. Michelle got the pictures back to us so quick and she keeps you in the loop the entire time. If you are on the fence about a wedding photographer do yourself a favor and email her!!!!!

From gathering all the important information about your wedding in detail to having emergency plans in place to make sure there are no interruptions. I go the extra mile in everything that is done.

My wife and I had Lou DJ our upstate wedding and it was more than we could have dreamed of. From the beginning, he was nothing but professional. He met with us multiple times prior to the event to go over music selection, flow of the ceremony day etc. His website was very easy to use and allowed us to have a large role in our music selection for the day, even for the reception dance portion. Everything was reviewed at least 3 times to ensure there were no hiccups, and also to make sure we wouldn't have to worry about anything on the ceremony day. On the day, Lou came in very early to setup and his equipment was extremely unobtrusive and sounded amazing. From the ceremony to reception (and especially cocktail hour), the sound was fantastic and there was not a single hiccup (even with an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour!). His flow through the reception was so smooth - and as a former college radio DJ, his music choice to fill in the gaps between the 'must plays' we sent him were impeccable!!! If you have a big heart for music and want it to be the backbone of any great party while having one of the most professional guys out there - Lou is 100% your guy. Thanks again Lou!!!!

I love capturing the whirlwind of a couples' big day, and seeing the love that is shared between them and all their wedding guests. It's magical and wonderful every. single. time.

Awarded Best of Zola
What a dream Emilee was to work with, from start to finish. OUR CEREMONY PARTY: we decided on a private, courthouse elopement on a Wednesday, a 60 person reception party on a Friday. In both, our biggest priority was having a photographer capture the intimate, joyful small details. We went with Emilee because of her eye for the beauty in the small things. She captured both our days perfectly. DOCUMENTARY STYLE: Emilee was perfect behind the scenes, capturing beautiful moments of our friends and family, small details of the courthouse with just us. I look back at some of these photos and ask "how did she even get that?!" She has such an eye. POSED: We had about 20 minutes dedicated to posed, family photos during our reception. Emilee had our families relaxed and laughing, quickly swapping members in and out. In some newlywed photos, we sought her advice for how to pose. She gave quick direction, made us feel confident, and always found the perfect light. COMMUNICATION SPEED: Delivered on every promise, quick replies. Emilee was 15 minutes early to both locations, we never had to worry. PERSONALLY: We met with Emilee about 4 months before our big days. We had coffee, talked about our vision and our biggest priorities. She immediately felt like a friend, and knew she was firmly on our team. If you're looking for a photographer to capture not only beautiful photos of yourself, but more importantly, the feeling in every room, Emilee is the photographer for you. We recommend wholeheartedly, and can't wait for another occasion to work with her. Sincerely, Mara James

Amy was such a pleasure to work with!! We loved her style after seeing pictures from a friend's wedding and just felt she was the perfect fit for our wedding. She made us both feel so at ease at the engagement shoot, telling us when to adjust so we wouldn't look awkward (which was one of our bigger concerns!) and the pictures from our wedding are just perfect! She captured the day so perfectly and ensured she had all the information she needed to get everything we wanted from her services. We are so grateful for everything you did to help make our day so special! Thank you!!

I highly recommend Electrified DJ Services if you are looking for a professional and energized DJ service. They go beyond the regular duties of a DJ to make your event (wedding, in my case) flow smoothly! There was an issue with the venue during my wedding, and we had to alter our timelines by over an hour. Ernest was so professional and helped to find a solution to this problem so my husband and I, as well as our friends and family, could enjoy our evening. The MC (Marlowe) kept the reception perfectly paced (even after the end of the event was moved up) without making my husband and me feel rushed or stressed. In addition, they did a spectacular job at choosing music that kept all our guests (of all ages) on the dance floor and having a wonderful time. I could not have asked for a better DJ and MC for my wedding reception. I would recommend Electrified DJ Services to anyone who wants a fantastic, fun, professional DJ service that goes out of its way to make your event (whatever it may be) a tremendous success!

  • Serves Howard Beach, NY

Hi! I'm Alëna! I’ve been making videos for over 10 years now. I believe in sucking the joy out of life and documenting it. It’s by immersing myself in travel that my eyes were first opened to videography. Being an adoptee from another country I fell in love with the process of collecting memories. I feel that my exposure to changing environments has allowed me to appreciate things from various perspectives and remain calm and assertive in fast pace situations. Such as weddings! I love capturing different traditions & religions AND of course documenting people in love or breaking the dance floor are my literal favs! Let's freakin' go yeah!?

Awarded Best of Zola
I decided a few months out from my wedding that I wanted a videographer. I was searching through Instagram and I fell in love with the style of Alëna's videos. She was super responsive and wants to make sure that you love your video! She's there to answer any questions that you have. I cannot thank Alëna enough for everything she has done and I am obsessed with my video!

Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. Summing up who I am in an "about me" is always difficult. What you must know: (1) I'm a nerd. If you want to talk video games, LOTR or Doctor Who, we HAVE to sit down for a bourbon or a coffee. (2) Yes, I will be out on that dance floor with you snapping away while joining in on the fun. And (3), while I'm a photographer first, supporting you during the planning process feels crucial to me - from building a timeline to having your back any way I can.

Mary was great to work with and pictures were beautiful! We are super happy with our wedding pictures!

  • Florist
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Howard Beach, NY

A Lily Among Thorns is a floral design studio in Northern New Jersey. Isabel’s love for flowers stemmed from a young age, as she was often found picking wild flowers barefoot. After receiving her bachelor's degree in English Language Arts, her second love, she found that there was even more poetry to be found in the flowers she had always loved. Now, she works in wedding and event floral design with a limited amount of couples a year.

Awarded Best of Zola
Loved working with Isabel. She had great suggestions for us when we came in with a vague vision, and stayed super-flexible and kind through every stage of the planning and execution, even helping fashion a last-minute unplanned corsage just before the aisle walk. She helped connect us with a flower recycling service as well, in response to my wish for a sustainable event. The end result was lovely. Couldn't have asked for better than Isabel!

I'm Claire. I opened WedWell in 2014 after I had a terrible experience with the planner for my wedding (which is why I aim for a low stress, high fun planning environment). With over a decade of experience in events, it was time that I started helping couples through the wedding planning process. I love all things weddings: the couples, the venues, the uniqueness, the love, the families, the vows, the toasts, the dancing, the photo booths, the cake (well, any dessert really). I love working with all couples because I truly believe love is love. So let's get started!

Awarded Best of Zola
Claire was an awesome planner to work with. She made everything seamless the day of the wedding! She made sure to provide floorplans & timelines in an organized manner prior to the wedding. She was able to hop on a call to review open items if needed, which I appreciate the flexibility and time. 100% recommend her to help plan your wedding!

We booked Sandy as our wedding photographer based on a friend's recommendation- she was their photographer for their wedding last July, and we were getting married in October. From our first zoom call, Sandy was incredibly kind, professional and thoughtful. She really listened to what our needs were and offered insightful suggestions on how to get the best pictures. Sandy was very kind with her time and expertise, and was accommodating to some requests that made our day special. We got married at the NY Botanical Gardens, and in additional to taking gorgeous photos of us and our guests, she got some amazing photos of the grounds and flowers. We love the photos she took during our bride and groom shoot, but the candid shots of friends and family, the ceremony and reception were all such a joy to see. Sandy was responsive during the planning and so easy to work with. Her second photographer was also very kind and professional. Sandy helped create such an amazing day for us, and we are incredibly grateful. Thank you!!

Awarded Best of Zola
When we say Taylor EXCEEDED our expectations, we truly mean that. From start to finish Taylor was such a calming and supportive presence in our lives. During the planning portion of our event, Taylor communicated with all of our vendors and made sure we were always on the same page. She was organized and had all of our contracts, seating charts, floor plans etc all in one google doc making it extremely easy to follow and stay on track. She was always responsive and answered every single question we could possibly have. As the wedding got closer, we had weekly calls to make sure we tied up any loose ends and that all the vendors were on the same page. The wedding day was beyond perfect. Taylor looked like a boss woman the whole time with her clipboard and made sure that she was keeping everyone in line and on track of time. There were a few times when things didn’t go as planned like having to move the ceremony inside due to rain and changing the floorpan last minute but she handled that with STRIDE. She made all the executive decisions and explained them to us calmly. We trusted that no matter what, she would make the best decision for us in the end and she 100% did! Everything ended up working out better than planned and we will be talking about this day for years to come. At the end of the event, Taylor helped all the vendors pack everything up and out of the venue and made sure that nothing was left behind. We could not recommend her enough as your wedding planner. She is strong, resilient and intelligent. She is organized, reliable and knows exactly what she is doing! You can really see how much she loves what she does and how she strives to be the best she can be every step of the way. Shout out to her assistant Joy for everything she had her hands on, including being so delicate and gentle while steaming my heavy wedding dress and taking some incredible behind the scenes shots of our day and for just being another amazing person to rely on. We couldn’t have asked for a better team!!!!
