Chris Pelley Films

  • Videographer

  • Starts at $3,800
  • Serves Manahawkin, NJ

Throughout the entire process, I strive to give each client an above and beyond experience that will leave them at complete ease on their wedding day and full of nostalgia for years to come. It’s not often that the most monumental moments in our lives get to be planned with the level of meticulousness as a wedding day. But even a wedding day is full of surprises. That hug and look you weren’t expecting from a loved one. The speech from the self proclaimed “terrible public speaker” that had everyone in tears. These are the moments that I am passionate about documenting through film.

Awarded Best of Zola
Chris did a phenomenal job with capturing our wedding from the very beginning. We hired him pretty early in the planning process and are SO glad we did. We were able to spend the planning process getting to know each other (and even becoming friends!) before the actual wedding day. This was really key because Chris was able to understand and execute what we wanted very seamlessly. We described what we had pictured for the day, and he went above and beyond - he even was prepared to give the bride a Diet Coke when she needed it before the reception! Thank you Chris for the most professional and high quality video and experience.

Capturing your wedding day cinematically while highlighting the raw emotion and candid moments is our top priority. If you truly care about having a beautiful film with gorgeous cinematography, we will be a match made in heaven.

Awarded Best of Zola
Anthony is outstanding. What he creates is beyond anything you could have ever imagined. 100000% would recommend him time and time again. He is attentive and quick to respond to you. His attention to detail is beyond words. He was able to capture moments that my photographer could not. Honestly, I screen shotted some of his still frames from the teaser and sent those out to family. Where do I even start with the teaser, the highlight film, and feature film. I feel like no words can really do it justice to describe what he created. It's one thing to showcase the important moments of your wedding, but to do it in a way that you (as the bride) are jealous of the bride and groom in the video, that's crazy. I was jealous of my own wedding. Like he made us look famous... how the heck! Its wild. He also chose and edited the film in a way that was so unique compared to the other wedding films that he had created. It was perfect. I kept asking him, "how did you pick that song? how did you know that song encompassed our vibe?" He said the song was perfect for the atmosphere, he took the essence of the day and the vibe and energy from everyone and showcased it the best he could, as much he could, in that short 1 min teaser. Literally I was floored. I don't know how he captured so many intimate moments, it was like he was a ninja with the camera. And I don't know if you are self-conscious and anxious like me, but having a videographer that you are comfortable with, is everything. He hyped us up, made us feel confident, all while not being too in your face. Anthony is the best, his artwork will floor you, and he truly is the best investment of your wedding.

Franklin & Alison Music

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $7,501
  • Serves Manahawkin, NJ

Franklin & Alison Music In business for over 20 years. Not an agency, just one band to provide you with personal attention to detail and tailor the music to your needs and likes. I love to help couples pick out the songs for each wedding, everyone is different and we like to be creative.

I will just start by saying that hiring the Franklin & Alison Music Band was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding on 5/18/24 at the Atrium of Tenafly! We received so many compliments from all the guests for the quality of the live band we had; and to our joy, the dance floor was always brimming with people. We happened upon the band’s website via The Knot’s suggested music provider list and absolutely loved their sample videos, songs, pictures, and testimonials. From the get go, Laraine was a pleasure to work with - always clear, on point with her answers, considerate, personable, and compassionate. We spoke at length via several phone calls and email exchanges about our history as a couple and our music preferences and then we met in person to go over all the details and narrow down the list of our favorite songs, She paid close attention to the pronunciation of names, nailed the parent dance song suggestions and the timing of the different reception activities. Then Laraine, Keith and the band did an amazing job at compiling an extremely successful playlist customized to our wedding. Katrice’s voice is stunning and so versatile, Sam was the perfect host, Keith was just so fun to chat with, and everyone in the band was just phenomenal! We all had a blast and I couldn’t recommend Franklin & Alison Music highly enough! Hands down the best decision ever!

La Mila Catering & Events 

5.0

  • Caterer
  • Starts at $75
  • Serves Manahawkin, NJ

Starting their careers in the restaurant and food industry, Elie & Heidi Hanna decided to utilize their unique experiences and create their own vision of a full service event company. La Mila is named after their daughter, Milana, who provides them with limitless inspiration and motivation.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a classically trained chef, I hope my review of La Mila inspires anyone doing their “homework” to earn an A — for themselves, especially their guests. I’ve been to many weddings, and the food served is often an edible afterthought. How many times, when leaving a wedding, were you asked, “What did you think about the food?” — and you replied with shrugged shoulders, “Eh, it was okay.” That is not the case with La Mila. A huge shoutout and thank you to Sandy, who was able to pull together a phenomenal menu all in a very timely timeline. Sandy was honest, upfront, and available around our busy work schedule. The day before and the day of, Sandy was there to help with setup — from the big asks, like helping move furniture, to the small tasks—like lighting lanterns and ensuring no glass of champagne for our toast was served empty! Given our wedding took place at our home, we thoroughly appreciated Sandy staying late to clean the kitchen, empty overflowing garbage, and make sure our home was not a war zone when we woke up the next morning! Elie’s execution of our menu was stellar. As a classically trained chef, I was thoroughly impressed by the well-run machine Elie could create within our garage, the makeshift kitchen for the event. It rained on our wedding day, and we were blessed with a beautiful, vivid rainbow—right before dinner service. This blessing brought all our guests outside for 30 minutes—right before dinner. A major wrench in the moment-by-moment timeline. I know how this, for many chefs, can be a disruptive, unexpected delay—but Elie did not miss a beat. All of our guests raved about the food—notably friends who I graduated with from the Culinary Institute of America. One thing I learned in culinary school is that you “eat with your eyes first.” Simply put, Heidi’s presentation skills are on point! Her attention to detail in creating beautiful food displays, notably for our cocktail hour, showed the care, thought and love we wanted our guests to feel. Sandy, Elie, and Heidi may be the stars of La Mila’s show—but the success of our wedding would not have been possible without their hard-working and friendly staff. One of the elements that sold us on choosing La Mila, was their well-stocked arsenal of kitchen equipment they brought on site. (Most caterers require you rent equipment separately, which is not only more expensive, but introduces a whole new dimension of moving parts.) La Mila was also able to include chinaware, silverware, and the majority of our glassware! They even included soft drinks, water, condiments, cocktail napkins, etc. — all of this, and they still came in under what we were quoted by other caterers. Thank you, Sandy, Elie, Heidi, and the entire La Mila Catering & Events team, for making our wedding day what it was. Your talent, professionalism, and experience were felt by everyone who took part in our special day.

We are painters when it comes to film. We enjoy creating love stories that poke at the heart of emotion. There’s an art to visually piecing a love story together. We have a strong eye for detail, and focus on really diving into a couples love and expressing their emotion for one another through our lens.

Awarded Best of Zola
I truly cannot put into words how amazing our entire experience was from start to finish. We found John and Avec L'Amour through our photographer, Heather Soucy. She told me that her family even used John for her brother's wedding because of everyone she has worked with, she trusted him to document their special day in the best way. That spoke volumes to me. When I say these two are a 'dream team' I am not kidding. As someone who had never been professionally photographed or video'd before, I was really nervous about looking and feeling awkward. John made my husband, Mike, and me feel SO comfortable throughout the whole day. It was so cool seeing these two incredibly creative minds feeding off each other to get the best possible shot. It was a little rainy on our day and they actually took video/photos of us inside a puddle reflection--I mean who thinks of that?! We were running a little late to the reception when our portraits were supposed to be taken and John knew we didn't want to miss too much of cocktail hour. We were able to get the most beautiful shots in just 30 minutes, including drone, which was super important to us. The Avec L'Amour team got absolutely stunning video without us feeling like we had cameras in our faces all night. We booked John for the 8-hour package, but realized we were not going to be able to get the bouquet toss or cake cutting in that time frame. NO worries!! John offered to stay an extra hour to capture the remainder of the evening. Now for the deliverables: we got our first teaser video back within 3 weeks of our day and I was absolutely blown away. We received the full gallery which included a 1 minute teaser, 3 minute trailer, and the full 1.5 hour long event not even a MONTH after our wedding day. It was just like watching a move of all our favorite people and he captured the day so perfectly. I cannot say enough: RUN, don't walk to book John and Avec L'Amour for your special day!! Worth every penny. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hi! My name is Nina, but my business goes by Film & Frond Photography! I’ve been passionate about photography for over a decade, and my love for the craft has only grown as I’ve delved into the world of film photography! I officially launched my business last October, and have shot several weddings on my own, as well as second shot numerous weddings along side other photographers. I provide timeless and artful documentary style photography services for weddings, elopements, and engagements/couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do we begin! Nina and Will at Film and Frond helped ensure our NYC elopement went perfectly to plan, and we can’t thank them both enough for everything! Our photos are incredible and we will treasure them forever as perfect keepsakes of our special day in NYC. As we were travelling to NYC from overseas (Scotland) we were nervous about the logistics and the risk of the weather changing. In our two Zoom calls prior to our trip, Nina was so reassuring and we made sure to cover all bases incase of a change in schedule or rain. On the day of the elopement, Nina and Will met us early in the morning at our hotel, and were the perfect companions for us venturing round NYC for photos before our City Hall Ceremony. They are both the sweetest, most authentic people and there was zero awkwardness. Both my husband and I were a little nervous about being in the front of the camera, but with Nina’s help we forgot we were being photographed at all and simply enjoyed the day. We love the photos which have been delivered, such a beautiful variety of shots in Dumbo, at Brooklyn Bridge, City Hall and in Soho. Opening our full gallery was like being back in New York, and took us right back to the magic of the day. Nina and Will, we cannot thank you enough not only for your insane photography skills but for being such fantastic people to spend our elopement with! You helped make the day what it was and we are forever grateful you’ve helped preserve our memories so beautifully. We cannot recommend Film and Frond highly enough!

Pretty Posh Events is a boutique event planning and design company, serving mainly the tri-state area. Owner Abby’s love for fashion and all things design, along with her passion for creative expression led to the creation of Pretty Posh Events. After years of designing and coordinating events for friends and family, Abby decided it was time to turn this passion into a business.

It was such a pleasure to work with Abby and Pretty Posh Events! Abby was our month of coordinator/ florist for my backyard wedding ceremony in July 2023. As an out of state bride, Abby worked with me over the phone and email throughout the planning process to design the event, and worked around my schedule to visit the sight. Abby had such a great vision for my grandma's backyard (the venue) and assured us throughout the process that it would come out beautifully...and it sure did! Every detail was well-thought out and unique to us. She recommended other vendors (B&B party rentals), as well as had connections through friends. Specifically, she worked with a graphic designer to create stunning metallic menu cards, and wrapped the bar in our wedding stationary. I look forward to working with Abby again for future events!!!

Hey, I’m Daniel. I’m a NY & NJ wedding photographer who incorporates fresh, contemporary techniques to create dramatic portraits for couples on their wedding day. The wedding industry is filled with incredible vendors who want nothing more than for you to have the epic wedding you’ve been dreaming of. But what if you don’t want just the classic and cookie-cutter things that this industry seems to offer? By understanding your needs and tailoring your wedding day coverage to you, I ensure that together we will create an experience that is just as fulfilling as the final image gallery.

Working with Daniel and his team was hands down the best experience I've ever had and would recommend him without any thought. Daniel is definitely a guru at his craft. During my consultation with him I explained I wanted to be relive the moment everytime I looked at my photos and he did just that. He suggested a few locations he thought would deliver what I wanted and he was right. Not only did he pay attention to the small details of the shots but he worked so well with my 2 year old whom I was nervous about cooperating during the session. THANK YOU Daniel for delivering and allowing my husband and I to relive our wedding day every time we look at out photos. This is definitely your calling.

Evergreen Botanical Studio Flower Preservation was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. From our first conversation, Jackie and her team were sincere, thoughtful and warm in their communication, making us feel comfortable and cared for every step of the way. Their passion for their craft is evident in the incredible work they did preserving the flowers from our special day. With a true heart of gold and an amazing eye for color, they treated our flowers with the utmost care and attention to detail. Passing our wedding flowers on to Evergreen Botanical Studio to be preserved was one of the best decisions we made - every time I look at the beautiful keepsakes they created, I'm reminded of the most perfect day. We are beyond grateful for their thorough and thoughtful service.

Hi, I’m Sophie! As a Travel Planner specializing in weddings, honeymoons, and all trips tied to your big day, I handle everything from hotel bookings and contract negotiations to transportation and curated experiences. My goal is to take the stress out of planning so you can focus on celebrating. Let’s turn your dream wedding or honeymoon into reality!

I had the pleasure of working with Sophie with my travel arrangements for my wedding in South Florida, and she was nothing short of amazing. From securing luxurious accommodations for ourselves and our guests to coordinating seamless transportation between multiple locations, Sophie took all of the stress off of our shoulders. Her local knowledge of Miami, etc. was invaluable—she recommended a beautiful boutique hotel and many hidden gems for our honeymoon to boot. Even with some last-minute changes, Sophie handled everything calmly and efficiently, ensuring that every detail was taken care of. Her ability to make the travel aspect of a wedding feel effortless is truly remarkable. Our friends couldn’t have been more grateful, and I was so impressed by her professionalism and warmth throughout the entire process. There are always challenges around weddings I know, but Sophie handled all of ours like an absolute professional.

We’re also HUGE Marvel fans, Star Wars fans, Doctor Who, you name it, we probably watched it. We basically go to the movies every weekend. We love what we do, and want to make sure that all your memories are captured in every way possible so you can always look back at them. We’re here to make your day easy and fun!

Awarded Best of Zola
WE LOVED STANLEY AND HIS ASSISTANT ALLIE! Once we saw their work we fell in love and thought we HAVE to book him. It was definitely one of the higher things in the budget, but I don’t regret it one bit. I loved Stanley’s packages because they are fairly simple with lots of add ons that we were able to choose. On our special day they were able to capture every single important moment. We got our teaser trailer back THE NEXT DAY after the wedding! I was just in shock and super emotional watching it barely having any sleep the day after! Not only is the work beautiful but their service is exceptional. I wish I could recommend them to literally everyone!

My passion for photography stems from a deeply personal experience. What began as a senior thesis project alongside my beloved Grandmother quickly evolved into a profound journey of documenting precious moments. Today, I cherish those photographs as windows to the past, allowing me to relive poignant memories. I hope my clients can also find solace and joy in their own photographs, whether in times of loss, reminiscing about loved ones, or celebrating life's special events.

Megan captured both my fiancé and my live proposal session in the summer and our engagement session in the fall, and she was absolutely incredible on both occasions! Her ability to beautifully capture the essence of each moment is truly remarkable. I often feel awkward in front of the camera, but Megan's warm and encouraging approach helped me relax and fully enjoy this special time in our lives. For our engagement session, I envisioned stunning cliff-side photos in the Poconos, surrounded by the vibrant fall foliage. Megan enthusiastically joined us on the hike, fully embracing the adventure and making the experience even more memorable. I wholeheartedly recommend her to all my loved ones and anyone seeking a passionate, fun, and talented photographer who can tell a story through her work. She truly has a gift for capturing life's most cherished moments!

Hi! My name is Nick. I fell in love with photography as a child through my love for music; I was obsessed with album covers and photos that would draw my eye and immediately tell me a story. I have a passion for art and my way of expressing it has always been through music and photography. I love hanging out with my friends and being social. Going out to dinner, having drinks, and spending time with my family are a few of my favorite things.

I’ve worked with Nick on multiple occasions and he is one of the most gifted photographers I know. There are very few photographers that I will recommend on a regular basis and Nick is at the top of the list. He has an incredible vision for capturing amazing photos and his editing style is in elite company. I’m always impressed and inspired when I see his finished work. On top everything else, he is very easy to get along with and always a complete professional. Nick is everything you could ask for in a photographer and more.

FM3 Entertainment

  • Band/dj

  • Serves Manahawkin, NJ

FM3 Entertainment is a boutique entertainment company focused on music that our clients want to hear at their wedding. Each and every event is treated as unique as our couples choose it to be. We work with each couple determine their "musical personas" in order to put together a Soundtrack for their special day.

I cannot recommend FM3 Entertainment enough. Steve and Frank are phenomenal. Our wedding was in Stone Harbor, NJ but our families and friends are from New York to the suburbs of Philadelphia and we needed a company that would keep the party going for everyone from 20-90 years ago, and they did just that! They are an experienced duo that had great recommendations and asked us questions that you may not think of during the planning stages. They listened to all of our song requests as well as, more importantly, our do-not play list. When hiring a DJ you don't always think of how the company you choose will also be the MC or "host" of the night. Steve added special touches throughout his announcements while sticking to the flow of the night AND keeping the party going! The dance floor was packed all night and I continue to receive rave reviews from friends and family on how great the music was at our wedding. I recommend FM3 Entertainment for all your event needs!
