Love, Melissa

Manhattan, NY
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000

I've taken everything I learned in photo school and used it to influence my wedding photography. The end result? Images that feel effortlessly cool, timeless, and personal. I work in a way that encourages you and your partner to interact with each other and be yourselves, instead of focusing on me and my camera.

Melissa made my special day stress free and fun. I expressed to her we were awkward and didn’t know how to pose and she responded with “I specialize in awkward.” She made us feel so comfortable and photogenic. She went above and beyond because my wedding outfit didn’t come in time and offered to split the session. I can’t wait to work with her again!

We create custom floral designs, statement installations, chuppahs, ceiling florals, aisle décor, centerpieces, candle styling, and full event environments for weddings, mitzvahs, and milestone celebrations.

Enza was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. We first met Enza through the preferred vendor list from our venue. Through our first phone conversation, I truly felt such a connection to Enza and knew she would do an incredible job on our wedding day. She listened intently to our vision, worked within the constraints of our budget and had impeccable follow up. Enza delivered all of that and more on our wedding day. We had a "first look" with our ballroom before our guests entered and it was a fairytale. Every detail that we envisioned was brought to life and it truly made our venue gorgeous. I cannot recommend Enza to enough bride and grooms as they plan their weddings. She is a DOLL and made the planning process easier!

Based in New York City, The Hook Club is one of the tri-state area's most exciting and unique wedding bands. Owned and operated by a tight-knit community of musicians, they are known for their attention to every musical detail and the professionalism they bring to every event. Their unconventional group has mastered the art of creating a great dance party that keeps guests on the dance floor all night and then humming the songs the next day!

Awarded Best of Zola
We absolutely loved working with The Hook Club. Our amazing planner, Greenhouse Events, recommended THC, and we were sold immediately after meeting with Dan. He is super relaxed, nice, and so knowledgable. Dan and THC team made planning super easy for us. They took time to hear about our hopes and helped recommend different band sizes for us. We hadn’t heard of a DJ band before, but loved the idea of some live music with the versatility to play all sorts of music, but our venue wasn’t very big and we also didn’t want to break the bank and hire a huge band. We chose the 4 piece DJ band with singer, sax, drums, and DJ. We knew we LOVED the sax, so we also had the sax play for cocktail hour (shout out to Elijah, who was amazing), and it was one of the best parts of the night. For planning music, they sent out a very detailed and thorough spreadsheet with more songs than one could imagine, and we could rate ones we liked the most, choose ones we definitely wanted or didn't, and choose specific songs for important moments. We met a couple times to review music choices as well. One of our biggest fears with a DJ was that they'd talk too much and be a little annoying, but Dan did a great job as MC, and was very low-key like we asked but announced important moments clearly. Dan and all the musicians had such great energy and got everyone on the dance floor. Our vocalist, Christen, was also amazing — her voice was spectacular, and she was such an amazing performer and got everyone involved in the music and dancing. So many people told us how much they loved the music and the energy, and had never heard of a DJ band but thought it was an amazing concept and the addition of live music over tracks added extra excitement and fun. THC also helped out with lighting (uplights and dance lights), and worked with our fantastic planner and the venue to help us decide the best setup. Ultimately, we loved working with THC. Their DJ-band setup is unique and adds so much variety to your music while allowing for some of the energy that comes from live performers. We danced the night away and had an absolute blast. 100% would recommend THC to anyone!

At Sweet Harmony, we love what we do! To us, it is a beautiful thing when we are playing music that helps you to feel the special moments of your life. We've grown fast since our founding in 2008, and Sweet Harmony now serves weddings across the United States with fine local musicians. As owner and pianist, I hold certain core values that inspire my work with our customers and our relationships in the professional world: honesty, teamwork, friendliness, strength, service, efficiency, and a commitment to excellence. Our musicians typically hold advanced degrees in music and care genuinely about bringing you the beauty of live performance!

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding on January 17, 2026, at The Wave Hotel in Orlando, Florida, felt like a living fairytale. The soul-stirring music of Sweet Harmony was the heartbeat that made every moment unforgettable. From our very first Zoom call to the final shimmering notes that lingered in the warm Florida evening air, this quartet didn’t just perform; they transformed our day into pure magic! Planning a destination wedding can be overwhelming, but Sweet Harmony made it effortless and joyful. Kasia Dolinska was an absolute dream to work with, warm, brilliantly organized, and genuinely excited about our vision. Her quick responses, thoughtful suggestions, and deep understanding of how music shapes emotion took all the stress out of the process. Their pricing was not only competitive but an incredible value for the level of talent and professionalism we received. We were especially blown away by their vast, beautifully curated song list; everything from timeless classics to modern indie favorites, which let us create a playlist that felt completely, authentically “us.” My musician husband even had the chance to discuss possibly performing alongside them, and Kasia’s enthusiasm made us feel like true collaborators rather than just clients. On the wedding day, Sweet Harmony arrived perfectly on time, elegantly dressed in classic black, adding an air of refined sophistication to our outdoor garden ceremony. But it was their sound that left us breathless. Rich, vibrant, and impossibly crisp, every note floated on the gentle breeze like liquid gold, wrapping our guests in warmth, romance, and pure joy. You could feel the emotion in the air, smiles widened, eyes glistened, and people swayed gently as the music wrapped around us like a loving embrace. The seamless transition from ceremony to cocktail hour was flawless: they simply turned their chairs and continued playing without missing a single beat, keeping the elegant atmosphere flowing effortlessly as guests mingled and celebrated. The absolute pinnacle of our day, a moment we still get chills thinking about, was their breathtaking rendition of “Turning Page” by Sleeping At Last during our processional, walking hand in hand down the aisle. The music was delicate, light, resonant, and so deeply moving that I instinctively slowed my steps, wanting to savor every exquisite note. It felt like the entire world paused; the strings poured out love, hope, and forever in a way that words can never capture. That single piece turned the beginning of our forever into something transcendent. We can’t wait to relive it in our wedding video. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels intimate, elegant, and emotionally unforgettable, Sweet Harmony is the only choice! Their extraordinary talent, heartfelt passion, and flawless professionalism elevated our day in ways we never imagined possible. Kasia and the entire quartet truly gifted us the most beautiful, memorable day of our lives. We recommend them with every ounce of our hearts! They don’t just play music; they create magic! Thank-you! Más & Vin

The short version of this review: if you want the music at your wedding to be awesome and exactly what YOU love to hear, and without cheesey emcee vibes, hire Marcus! Marcus did such an amazing job DJing our wedding, we couldn’t be more thrilled. He is extremely thoughtful with his work. He took careful note of my husband and my musical tastes and preferences, as well as the vibe of our wedding, instead of playing a standard tired playlist. Per our request, he blended in some Latin music seamlessly. The dance floor was full and lively all night long, exactly as we had hoped for! He played songs we hadn’t requested but that we love, leaving me wondering how he could have known so well what to play. He also respected our “do not play” list, as I found out multiple guests requested songs on it and he politely declined. Marcus is very thorough and organized which made working with him so easy- he was on top of all the details, order of events/cues, even reviewed proper name pronunciation with us in advance. The event manager at our venue said she loved working with him and was very impressed. Marcus has such a kind and warm personality, and a really special talent- we feel so lucky that he was part of our big day!

Rebeca and Andrew are not just incredible photographers, but they are also wonderful people who make their clients feel so comfortable. Do not hesitate to book Andrew and Rebeca for your wedding or your next photographed event. My husband and I were joking around about how Andrew and Rebeca felt like our friends after sharing all our special moments together, photographing our engagement photos and our first look the day of the wedding. Rebeca and Andrew create a calm, down to earth, and joyful environment during their shoots. They did a fantastic job making us feel comfortable in front of the camera- we were so happy that we did an engagement shoot with them, they taught us some tips and tricks for posing in front of the camera, and so we were thrilled with how our wedding photos turned out a few months later. Additionally, Rebeca and Andrew are professional, ask a fair price for their incredible work, and are quick to respond to all emails and messages. They made us feel calm, confident, and well taken care of throughout the entire wedding planning process. On your wedding day, you are spending so much time running around, staying on schedule, socializing, etc. It can get really busy and overwhelming. So, we learned that some of the more quiet and intimate moments happen when you are being photographed at your first look or before your guests arrive at your venue. As a result, you don’t just want skillful photographers at your wedding, you want great people who you enjoy spending time with. Overall, we could not have been more happy working with Rebeca and Andrew- in fact, we will miss them! We definitely plan to keep them in mind if we ever need a professional photographer in the future.
