Full stop, you need to have your wedding at Bad Seed. Not only is it a stunning location with a perfect mix of indoor and outdoor space (get married/take photos in a literal apple orchard, and party it up inside a modern-with-tons-of-charm taproom) but Devin and his team were incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process. They answered our questions quickly, and were extremely flexible and helpful the week of our wedding. We were able to bring up boxes earlier in the week, set up the day before our wedding, and had private access to the grounds/taproom on our wedding day. As a queer couple, we also loved that Bad Seed partners with Big Gay Hudson Valley year-round, so we already knew they would be a queer-affirming space and our wedding day was no different. Everyone we spoke to / worked with helped make our wedding a magical experience.

I cannot day enough good things about Mountainville manor. We had an elopement ceremony and pictures on the property. We could not have been happier and luckier to have found this venue. The whole process was simple and although it was an elopement with just the two of us, the owner Lauren, made it feel so special. The bouquet that was included in the elopement package was beautiful and exceeded my expectations. The grounds are immaculately kept w beautiful landscaping. The newly remodeled interior is as beautiful. There is a beautiful bridal and grooms room. The bride room includes a full bathroom w a shower. The owner, Lauren was very attentive and made sure we had water and a bite to eat as well as offering to go to the store in the event we forgot something. She was extremely accommodating and and made sure our vision was executed and really wanted to make sure we had the wedding of our dreams.

Hey! I'm Nina. I'm a pretty energetic and charismatic person that loves love and enjoys life. Documenting through photo is my favorite thing on this planet. I've been a professional photographer since 2016 but really I've been invested in photography since I was 15 years old. My love for documenting moments came from a desire to capture my own life and that of my friends using disposable cameras, flip phone cameras and point and shoot digital cameras on beach trips with friends. I have used writing, art, and photo to document my life and it is an incredibly special thing to be able to share that with my clients.

Here With You Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,900
  • Serves Monticello, NY

Rebecca has been working as a professional photographer for over 10 years. She began with a small film camera, taking photos at her favorite concerts. As she grew, so did her unique style and her passion. She attended the Academy of Art in San Francisco, Ca. and obtained a BA in Advertising Photography. Over the past 10 years she has had the opportunity to photograph events in places such as Portland, Or., San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Monterey, Ca., Washington DC, Florida and now New York City. She frequently travels for her photography and loves every moment.

Where do I begin... When I first started looking for a photographer I had a certain vision in mind. I didn't want the typical posed pictures for engagement/wedding pictures. I wanted someone whose work stood out and was unique. I emailed Becca as soon as I came across her work hoping she had our wedding date opened. She did! I think after like two emails back and forth I booked her, I knew she was the photographer for us, super chill and laid back. When we first met for our engagement pictures I was super nervous, my husband and I aren't photogenic at all, and personally I feel like pictures are awkward. Becca is a natural, I felt like I was hanging out with a long lost friend and she made us both feel beyond comfortable. She got our pictures back to us within a week and we were OBSESSED! Fast forward to our wedding day... Becca and her assistant Raven went above and beyond... No words can explain how happy we are with our albums. I can't wait for our future photo sessions together!

My partner and I planned a wedding in less than 6 months at Buttermilk Falls. From the minute we stepped on the property, we knew we loved it. The grounds are so well kept, the event planners and staff are so friendly! There are several options for your big day and no hidden fees when working with the folks here. Our event planner Morgan was phenomenal. She kept us on track, checking in regularly and responding in a timely manner to our every small question. Once the time came for our wedding weekend, Buttermilk Falls exceeded our expectations. Our families loved our welcome event with freshly made pizza and the best charcuterie. The kids in our family loved exploring the grounds and seeing all the animals. Our wedding day was magical despite it raining precisely during our outdoor ceremony, and the barn was the perfect spot for our group of 75 to eat, drink, and dance the night away! THE FOOD AT BUTTERMILK FALLS IS ALSO PHENOMENAL. Truly cannot be said enough. The ingredients are fresh, the menus are thoughtful and the staff is incredible. I highly recommend this venue and would absolutely plan a wedding here again if I had to do it over. You will not be disappointed!

I truly don't think I can say enough good things about Carey and Deaudimus Photography. Our photos came out more beautiful than we imagined but more importantly Carey was amazing to work with. He made sure both our photographers were available and o. Time to two locations before our wedding; he was imaginative with the ideas he had for interesting shots at our venue and just as important, he was just a wonderful, calming person to have around on the day of our wedding.

All I can say is WOW! When it comes to Sasha, I cannot express how magical and incredible working with her has been. Throughout my entire wedding planning process, so many people kept saying “no one is going to remember or talk about your florals when the wedding is over!” Boy were they wrong! Since I got married, EVERYONE is STILL talking about my wedding florals produced by Sasha and how INCREDIBLE they were! She is a true master at her craft and made our special day look and feel like a real-life fairy tale!!! Sasha so genuinely cares about her work and gets just as excited as you, if not more! She kept me in the loop throughout the entire process and was just extremely easy going, personable, and readily available to chat anytime I had a question or concern. She wants your day to be just as special as you do! Exactly what I envisioned for my wedding day, Sasha curated in the most graceful fashion. A true artist!!! There’s people that do the job, and then there’s people that love the job and Sasha is one of those rare individuals. My mother in-law watched her meticulously curate my wedding arbor and noted how deeply she paid attention to every detail of my wedding! Sasha, I cannot thank you enough for your astonishing work and for being who you are! I will miss you! – Brooke & Jordan

Gill was an absolutely wonderful makeup artist for my wedding day. Her prices are more than reasonable, and for the level of skill and friendliness, you definitely get more than your money's worth.

I will go so far as to say we have continued a relationship outside of my wedding and I currently see her as my hair stylist - she's spectacular in every aspect! You will not regret working with Gill. If I could recommend her to everyone, I definitely will.

Red Maple Vineyard was an absolute DREAM. Simply put: the grounds/pavilion are stunning, the staff are incredible, and the food is the best food you’ll ever have at a wedding (food was very high on our priority list!) I could write an entire essay about what an incredible time we had both planning our wedding and during the big day. From the moment we toured with Gary, we knew we wanted to get married there. Their staff were so communicative, and helped us plan some untraditional things like our own chuppah and a Pittsburgh cookie table (thank you Amy!!) Planning was a breeze, they really try to make everything so easy for you. The actual day was so stress free. Michelle made sure everything ran on time, and people got where they needed to go. So many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever went to, and we have to agree - unbiased, of course We were (and still are) over the moon with how everything turned out – even better than we had hoped for. I really can’t properly convey how much we love RMV. Thank you all so much!!

We had originally planned for a 2020 wedding and when COVID came we knew it would be a challenge to re envision our dream wedding. They went above and beyond what was expected in helping us get it done and in a seemingly effortless way. We loved the cleanliness and comfort of the farmhouse.

  • Starts at $7,977
  • Serves Monticello, NY

Owners Danielle DeFreest and Matt Marvullo opened Every Little Detail in the spring of 2012 with one goal in mind- to create pure and unique moments that are unforgettable. Danielle started out in the service industry as a teenager, and after graduating with a master’s degree in special education, decided to continue her career in service. Matt spent 24 years in the service industry, catering weddings and galas under master-chefs at 5 star venues throughout the country. In 2013 they asked long-time friend Kayla to help them at a wedding, and by the time the reception ended she realized she absolutely loved it. She is now a co-owner.

Danielle from Every Little Detail was amazing and contributed to the absolute success of the most perfect wedding day. We hired Danielle as a partial planner after deciding (thank goodness) that we could not plan a wedding ourselves. Danielle was there every step of the way. She tended to be 2 steps ahead of us. Ahead of the wedding she'd reach out and ensure we were on track. ELD provided an amazing online tool that contributed to this success to track costs, plan seating, and keep all of our wedding documents in one place. Danielle helped us find some amazing vendors and was especially key in the 60 days ahead of the wedding, finalizing details, coordinating with vendors, and providing great details into what we should expect and prepare for. Day of ELD was even more amazing. The venue said ELD was one of the best planning companies they ever worked with - extremely on top of everything and so seamlessly coordinating every detail (no pun intended!). Every Little Detail was a joy to work with and they helped us create and execute a magical and truly perfect wedding day. I could not recommend them more.

Hello! My name is Christine and I love weddings. I have been photographing weddings since 2005 and the more I do it, the more I love it. I also love chocolate, binge-worthy television and Betty White so much, I named my dog after her.

Dear Prospective Couples, In the summer of 2017, I had the opportunity to hire Christine Merson for my wedding. Besides the decision to marry my husband, she was the best decision of the day. If you have the opportunity to hire this talented professional I would recommend it. You will not be disappointed. Christine planned out the timeline for the entire event with me a week before the big day. Christine is a wonderful listener and was able to provide insightful suggestions to make sure the day was a stress-free as possible. Because of her years of experience, her advice really changed the course of the event in positive ways. Moments before the outdoor ceremony, the skies opened up and there was a downpour. The venue switched the ceremony to inside. Christine and her second photographer adapted to the situation as if that was the way the ceremony was originally planned. My dad was recovering from major surgery the day of the wedding. My father-in-law and godmother were also recovering from medical issues. Four days before the wedding, my husband came down with a nasty virus. Christine and her employee were able to capture everyone with a smile and with their best foot forward. Christine captured so many special and intimate moments of my wedding day without being intrusive. I will cherish each documented memory for years to come. If you choose to work with Christine, I am sure you will feel the same way. Best wishes!

If you’re reading this review just stop and book your stay already, actually book 2 extra nights. My husband and I had a wild idea to host our family and friends here AND our wedding ceremony. Gigi, Matty, Brian, Angel, and others, are absolute legends and went above and beyond for us. This location can not be beat for a relaxing, rejuvenating, and peaceful visit. The team really went the extra mile to solve our planning problems (I had many) and made us feel like family. Some of the cabins are pet-friendly which meant the world to us as my father is blind and needs his seeing-eye dog to get around. We knew there would be no hassle having friends bring their dogs too! The rooms are cozy and accessible, for those with mobility issues there are walkways and cabins on flat ground. We dream about sitting around that camp fire with all our friends and family often and are forever grateful to have found Belleayre Lodge!!

I like to find beauty in the balance between the shadows and the light. They are rarely inseparable. They are complex and totally opposite and yet they can not live without the other. Just like real connection. What is real is beautiful. Only love is real. Your wedding day is important. To you. To your families. To me. And I don’t take it lightly. I understand that you’ve never done this before and you may not even know where to start! Don’t worry- I got you!

Finding a good photographer was high on our priority list for vendors. We got married outside in the Catskill Mountains and as such we wanted a photographer capable of capturing the depth of the forest. After looking through Sam's portfolio we knew she was good, but after working with her and seeing her work firsthand we can say she's the best. Getting your photo taken can be awkward, especially given the high stakes of a wedding. But Sam is able to make you feel immediately comfortable while simultaneously taking the most stunning photos you'll ever see. We also had a connection session with her, which we would highly recommend so that you can know how she works - very fun and relaxed, but professional. Sam helped us outline the entire day of the wedding, and based on her knowledge the day went off without a hitch. We're so grateful she agreed to work with us!

Every couples love story is uniquely their own and for that reason we offer two different wedding services, both fully customizable to meet the needs of the couple. We create one of a kind floral arrangements inspired by the seasons and local availability. Our flower shop is bordered with a cutting garden which is utilized to provide unique accents that are custom grown for events, we also source blooms from other local farms right here in the Hudson Valley for your wedding flowers. .

Weddings are stressful, a wedding in 2020 is something of another word entirely.. I prayed that my daughter's vision for her wedding would come true, we marched with a motto that love conquers all! We hoped our vendors had the same determination and drive to get through the trials, changes and uncertainty with love and patience. In Erin from Rosery Flower Shop we found our artist, our champion of no matter where or how she would create our dream. Erin traveled for over 2 hours to our new venue, I still don’t know how they kept all those flowers looking so fresh. Of course we discussed our decor many, many times and we had photos she created for our vision board, but nothing truly prepared us for what Erin created! The flowers were magical, the colors used I didn’t know were in existence. My daughters bouquet was everything she dreamt of and more. Centerpieces were lush with gorgeous colors and painstaking creativity! Sweetheart table was an oasis of love ! Incredible, I am eternally grateful for all the hard work and love Erin showed Jackie through her flowers. 2020 just became a lot more beautiful!

My name is Robenson Charles, and I am a Haitian born, Brooklyn raised portrait and event photographer from New York. What I do involves the best thing in the world and that's to captivate cherishable moments of life, love, and memories through photography. During this new transition in my life, I learned that photography isn't something you "do", it's something you grow into and boy did it grow! Each day I learned new techniques, researched any information on photography, and took part in classes to strengthen my skills. As a result, this new insight was birthed off of how I visualize the world's most intimate moments and turn it into art.

Rob was sooo amazing! Long story short, we hired him for our wedding but we ended up moving our states wedding to destination. We asked if we can put our deposit towards an engagement shoot instead. He did such an amazing job and he was so prepared day of. He bought his equipment and even a DRONE!! We went to two locations, the American Museum of Natural History and the Castle on the Upper West side of Central Park. He let us be us but also posed us. We felt at ease and taken care of. He sent us back the photos pretty quickly too! 11/10 recommend!!

Kris was wonderful to work with start to finish. Based off the size of our families, we were initially struggling with the daunting task of navigating a large scale wedding while still making sure our number one priority of efficiency, seamlessness, and intentionality were maintained. We expressed these concerns to Kris early on and were met with understanding and confident guidance towards practical solutions. Kris knows the Hudson Valley very well. Working with someone who lives here and knows this areawas very important. Seeing Kris spring into action day of the wedding was wonderful. She was calm and collected but simultaneously leading the charge and making everything happen - we had not a worry in the world for the whole day and we are very thankful for that.

My husband and I recently got married here and I would absolutely recommend the Arnold House as a wedding venue. We had such a great time - we could not possibly have asked for a more perfect weekend. The entire property is gorgeous and the fact that there are a lot of plants in the greenhouse limited the amount of decor and florals we needed. Everyone working there was so attentive and 100% committed to making the day completely ours. The food and signature cocktails were phenomenal, even at the larger scale of a wedding, and the chefs and bartenders clearly take pride in their work.

Baylee and Kameryn provided their hair and makeup services for 10 girls for my wedding. To start, Baylee’s communication is great and exactly what any bride needs. She would always get back to me in a timely manner to answer any and all questions I had leading up to the wedding (and I had many!). She always spoke to me in a kind and professional tone and made me feel comfortable, like she had it handled - she did! She did an incredible job creating a schedule that allowed for us to ultimately be ahead of schedule so when hang ups inevitably happened it wasn’t an issue. And, perhaps most importantly we all looked and FELT beautiful. Baylee is a hair magician, and I’m speaking as someone who never seems to get what I want at a hair salon. I can’t thank or recommend these girls enough!!!

Jennifer was incredible - if you’re looking for a very reliable, extremely talented hair stylist for your wedding day, look no further. Jennifer was amazing throughout the entire process- she heard me out on everything that I wanted for my wedding day hair, she answered my one million questions, she did (both) styles I wanted during our trial, and she gave me the wedding hair of my dreams. On top of all of this - she traveled from the hotel where we were getting ready to my venue and did hair touchups throughout the first look and photos, and then transitioned my hair style from down to up between the ceremony and reception. This service was such a game changer for me - it was a humid day so having pre-ceremony touchups was amazing - and having my hair up for the reception and dancing was ideal. Jennifer is truly the best and also so fun to be around on wedding day. I can’t thank her enough!!
