Skylark Music 

5.0

Beacon, NY
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $800
  • Serves Long Island City, 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!

Justin was everything we wanted from our wedding DJ. He understood our needs (which were on the more low-key side of your typical wedding vibe) better than we did, and he got compliments from our guests both for his live music duo during cocktail hour and his DJing during the reception. We highly recommend him!

There are no words to describe how truly unreal Rachel and Lizzie are as a planning team. From day one, I felt completely supported and as if I was the only bride/wedding that they were handling (even though I knew there were a lot!) From suggesting vendors, to project managing, to giving advice on decor, and SO much more, I couldn't recommend a better team. Not to mention, they are incredibly calm and really help to make you feel like they have everything under control, which they 100% do! I really cant thank you two enough for making my day literally perfect.

Steven Rosen Photography 

5.0

Brooklyn, NY
  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Long Island City, 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 Long Island City, 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!

Shutter and Sound 

4.9

Baltimore, MD
  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Long Island City, NY

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

Awarded Best of Zola
We knew hiring a videographer was non-negotiable in our wedding planning journey. That led us to Shutter & Sound Films, and their editing style immediately set them apart. Their videos, with cinematic and emotional storytelling are true masterpieces. Our videographers were kind, patient, and easy to work with, seamlessly capturing the day's emotions. We wanted more than just a recording—we wanted our wedding video to tell the story of our day, evoke emotions, and make us feel the love all over again. The final video is a timeless keepsake, beautifully conveys our day, moving us and our loved ones to tears. Surprisingly, we received the video sooner than expected! However, one small critique remains: we never got the opportunity to personally connect with the lead and assistant shooter before our wedding day. All communications had to go through the coordinator, making the first meeting on the wedding morning feel a bit abrupt. Establishing a connection with them beforehand would have been a nice touch.

Jason Mitchell Kahn and his team plan weddings for brides, grooms and those who don't identify with titles. Jason began working full time as a wedding planner after the 2014 launch of his new book GETTING GROOMED: THE ULTIMATE WEDDING PLANNER FOR GAY GROOMS, published by Chronicle Books. He's been featured in the NY Times and Brides Magazine has named him one of the Best Planners in the country. Jason brings to weddings his passion for drama honed from his career and education in theatre. Jason approaches all weddings with his playwriting background: What is the couple’s version of their most beautiful story to be told?

Awarded Best of Zola
As an English couple getting married in New York we had a lot to navigate along the way, and we felt that Jason and his team were there at every single stage to make the whole thing a smooth and enjoyable process. We wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend him to any other couple. As two grooms we had a lot of our own ideas for the wedding and were able to identify and source many of the spaces & vendors that we needed, but Jason really helped us bring those different pieces together into a wonderful cohesive experience - always helping us take things to the next level. Jason and his team really came into their own in the last month or so of the wedding - we could easily have been overwhelmed by everything coming together, especially from afar, but his team really took over all the contacts, practicalities and brought everything seemlessly together. We loved working with Jason and felt that by the day itself he was just another of our friends who we were glad to have spending the day with us - his small team faded into the background and everything went perfectly to schedule. We were able to totally relax and enjoy things without once having to worry about practicalities. Overall we had a fantastic wedding at the Bowery Hotel, and entertained our guests the day either side, and we couldn't have done any of it without Jason. We didn't keep things simple - we had different vendors providing flowers, lighting, catering... and unusually half a dozen different music providers. You wouldn't have known it wasn't just one team though. We did a lot of the selection & planning ourselves but that was very much our own choice and how we scoped the service - we wouldnt hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

He and his team truly love what they do and they will do everything in their power to make sure you are truly happy with them. They are not looking to make a quick buck based on your event.

Scott and his team from the Music Boutique were absolutely amazing in everyway possible (total package of amazing people, professionals, and just so talented) . If you like, read no further and just hire them (seriously!!)! If you are like me and need to hear a personal experience for convincing; here goes: being a postponed 2020 covid bride who changed location within 3 months - working with Scott and his team was seamless . From my first email to the Music Boutique, Scott (the owner) responded within 24 hours with everything I had inquired about. We emailed several times since then with what I thought were annoying or silly questions, but he answered everything in full detail and even spoke on the phone with me several times. Going above and beyond, he even went as far as telling me about how the ceremony usually goes and what others have done (as I was pretty confused). He was able to play every random song I requested. He played piano along with a violinist for my ceremony, and had a awesome saxophone player, Geoff for part of my reception. Geoff was able to also play some pretty random songs (hooks to old school rap) along with my DJ (DJ Joey G from Jade Productions who was also great). Overall - I could not recommend Scott and his team more. Hope this helps you pick them!

Anastasia really loves what she does and that shows. Her enthusiasm really shows through and she thrives in this environment. On the day of my wedding she was on time, absolutely focused, and made everyone look beautiful. My hair maintained its shape for most of the night. I sweated and danced for hours and still felt beautiful. I would like to mention that we did change my hair after I decided to add a veil, so don't be afraid to do a second trial or ask her to change the style to suit your needs. She is very accommodating.

I make heart-warming, intimate wedding films so that on your wedding day, you can savor those moments and emotions. As a visual magician, I’ll conjure for you a beautiful film that will allow you to remember. When I had my second child, I worried I was missing things – they grow up so fast! I began filming them, focusing on the simple but beautiful things people tend to overlook. When I film weddings I look for these same types of moments.

Daria made sure to understand us as a couple. We absolutely LOVED our wedding teaser and video. Originally we didn’t care about the video and we thought we would be the only ones to see it but whenever people ask to see pictures of our wedding we show them the wedding teaser video ! It incorporates the fun feel we were going for, the love, the inclusivity. Such a great choice to go with Daria! One of the best decisions we made for our wedding !

We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. 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.

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

After growing up in Central Jersey, Brent chose to move down to Nashville for college and then shortly after graduation, officially founded 550Park out of New York City. He is a passionate tennis player, chef, and world adventurer.

We are privileged to comment on Brent's work. We were one of his first clients of the 2023 wedding season in the NYC-NJ area. As with many couples, we struggled with finding a great videographer at a reasonable price. Brent was a godsend. Brent came to meet us near where we lived. He was very realistic about how our film would come together, what was feasible and what was not. The contract was very reasonable and covered various situations. Quality: the films were excellent. Brent has worked in the videography world for many years, so he's used to adapting to changing environments and getting the best shots describing a particular moment. Interaction: Brent's interaction with us was one of utmost professionalism and warmth. He was very friendly and respectful toward all of our attendees and staff at the wedding and reception. Most of our guests were working professionals and our guests loved this guy. Attire: he was dressed just as sharp as anyone else in attendance. No worries there. Brent does the ground-work well in advance of the event - scouting the sites we were going to be at on the big day: wedding venue, scenic portrait locations, reception. He met with the primary staff there, surveyed the location for good vantage points and potential issues and let us know in advance if there were any issues he foresaw. He was respectful of the restrictions at the church wedding while managing to get all the right shots. He's the kind of professional you would want to be friends with outside of the wedding. We highly recommend Brent and would hire him for future family events. Good luck on your event!

We hired Amy to document our 75-guest wedding in Brooklyn. From the first emails to final delivery of the photos, working with her was a total pleasure. We talked with Amy before we hired her, and during that exploratory conversation she seemed to understand our wishes and concerns and gave us confidence we were all on the same page. We could tell she’s experienced—in addition to talented, so evident on her website and in social media posts—and we liked that her photos aren’t overly stylized, instead privileging the people and the moments in front of her. Amy helped us map and pace the photography for our wedding day, relieving us of potential stress. Her camera-side manner while she worked was excellent, both cheerful and assured, including suggesting movements or adjustments that improved the shots. She made us first-time models more comfortable. During the ceremony and dinner, she worked efficiently and without intruding on our, or our guests’, experiences. A number of weeks later, she sent us a polished package of images that we’ll treasure as reminders of our favorite weekend together. Thank you, Amy! --Hicks & Molly

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
My husband and I were looking for a videographer last minute and I stumbled upon Alena. After just one conversation with her I knew I had made the right choice in choosing her. The planning process with her was smooth and seamless. The day of she was punctual, professional, super helpful, smiley and sweet, and the quality of her work…. I have no words. Don’t wait to book her for your wedding. Thank you Alena for capturing the best day of our lives 3

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We absolutely cannot say enough good things about Mary! She was the best wedding photographer we could have asked for. She brought the good vibes throughout the day and her photos were absolutely gorgeous- we love them so much!! Not to mention she also helped us finalize the timeline for the day from start to finish. She was professional, detail oriented, and extremely kind. We have been singing her praises to everyone we know. Thank you Mary for being the best and for giving us photos we will cherish forever.

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
We schedules a one off 2 hour phone consultation call off of Claire’s a la carte services. If you are looking to get oriented to planning, budgeting, and really get a sense of what you can do with your special day, this call is for you! Claire helped us go over basics and really helped paint the picture of what things like a DJ and florals could do for us and even provided recommended a DJ that we are going with. She answered all of my questions and I felt so relieved and way less stressed after our call and much more confident in our next steps. We love and value this a la carte option to get the experience and knowledge of a professional in a way that keeps us in line with our needs and budget!

Awarded Best of Zola
We started to follow SLK Visuals works on Instagram over a year ago, we were stunned by the photos and clips that he posted on his page. We decided to hire him right away. Shawn was very professional, very informative, he listened to what we have to say and want and he followed our vision to a tee. From the get go, Shawn scheduled appointments to introduce himself and who would be working with him; he showed us his work; he is very knowledgeable about his craft. He made us feel very comfortable and we were at ease with nothing to worry on our wedding day. Starting with our engagement photoshoot, the pictures were spectacular; we had filmed a short video that introduced our love story , that was also amazing, and even though it was raining that day this video reflects Shawn's creativity, he really captured us, our goofiness, our happiness and all. This experience was actually really wonderful and intimate, and I actually felt closer and more connected to my hubby than before. And when it comes to the wedding pictures, Shawn and the videographer were punctual and ready day of the wedding; all the photos come out amazingly beautiful, my video is clear and focused. Our wedding was this last October and 2 days later he sent us a teaser and by the end of November we had received the complete gallery. And also, I would like to mention that SLK Visuals is very affordable, compared to other vendors; Shawn works with your budget and gives you what you ask for. I am 1000% satisfied, I will definitely use him again and would Highly recommend his services.

I planned a last-minute outdoors COVID wedding in October. Sandy came recommended through a friend of a friend and I couldn’t have gotten luckier. She was incredibly easy to deal with in the lead up to the wedding and on the day of. Very responsive, clear communicator, low maintenance, and flexible in terms of what I wanted but also made sure she expressed her point of view (since after all, she’s the expert). She arrived early to the venue to scope it out and was ready with several recommendations of places to host the ceremony that would have the best light as well as locations for subsequent photos of my husband and me. Her preparation and attention to detail paid off, as the photos are absolutely gorgeous. She made us feel extremely comfortable and it comes through in the images. Cannot recommend her enough!

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!!!!
