We got married 1/5/25 but had been working with Miriam for probably a year and a half before our big day. She was always so personable with us a treated us like family. Words cannot describe the love and care we felt from Jake, our maître D and Samantha, our bridal attendant, on our wedding day. We were cared for tediously and effortlessly. We felt like at ease, happy and totally relaxed. I needed Samantha and didn’t even know it, I am forever indebted to her - she could not have been more attentive and wonderful. Comforting me, assuring me, getting me where I need to be and when. So friendly, kind and amazing. Thank god for Jake. He is so special and we’re so lucky we got him as our maître D. He deems himself as a “yes man” and he is not lying. Anything you could have ever wanted from him, he’d deliver. We wanted for nothing, had wonderful direction from him all night and he took care of EVERYTHING!  The night was flawless, amazing, perfect and all we could have ever hoped for. The staff at Bourne is unmatched, we made the right choice with this venue. Guests will be in awe of the venue and talk about the food for years to come. I wish I could do it all again. Thank you Bourne mansion & staff for the best night of our lives! I don’t have all my pics back yet!

Nicole and her team were amazing. We did a trial and then made a few tweaks for the day-of. I loved how it turned out! Nicole has a relaxed energy that was perfect for the wedding day. She did little things to make the day go smoothly, like calling ahead to the hotel to make sure they delivered a makeup chair to the room.

I am a Filipino and so is my bridal party. I really needed someone who understood an Asian face. I also needed someone who could listen to me, my needs and those of my party to help us all look and feel our best. Rie delivered and more! From planning the day and on our trial, Rie was very kind, open to suggestions and creative when it came to my vision. She was patient to try out the different hair dos I wanted to sample. On the day, she amped up her talent and made me look even more beautiful than when she met me for a trial. Even my FIL thought so! You know it’s real when men notice! Haha. She also took care of my mother, who is hard to please, but was able to say good things about her hair and make up that same day too. Overall what a beautiful experience. I kind of want to get married again just to be able to redo the whole beautification and process! And of course that is only possible with Rie. Many thanks Rie!!! Pics from Nathalie Garcia

Awarded Best of Zola
My wedding was on December 9th and I have been eager to write this review to share my experience with High Voltage. While I worked with many vendors, High Voltage went absolutely above and beyond. Prior to the wedding day, I met with Anthony several times so that he could get to know us and understand what music and atmosphere worked best for us. I felt like we worked as a team to finalize all of the details. It was a perfect mix of them letting us do what we wanted while also providing us with recommendations based on their expertise and what had worked best in the past. The entire day they exceeded above and beyond and didn’t miss a beat. They performed music and video services for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. They had check ins with us throughout the day to make sure everything was working well from the temperature of the room to the uplighting to the vibe of the music. One unique quality that High voltage has is their ability to combine music with videography. At first I wasn’t sure if I should add on the videography but it was 1000000% worth it. They created 3 reels for us and filmed my ceremony as a surprise which was the best surprise ever. Every single add on was worth it from the dancing on the cloud, to the additional uplifting, to the reel, to the DJ booth, to the CO 2 cannons. Anthony even stepped in to help last minute when I wanted to donate my bouquet to my mom by facilitating the speech when I was feeling overwhelmed to talk in front of people. I still have people raving about their services… people from ages of 12 to 94 years old. I loved how you could pick the layout for the DJ booth and you got a special album after. The turnaround time for the reel was unmatched. Angelo’s work with the reel was 1000000/10. I got back the content in less than two weeks. I never once felt in the dark and most importantly I didn’t just feel like a number to them. I honestly can’t say one bad or negative thing about them. Thank you for making our day so special!!!

When working on wedding planning, we knew right away that we wanted to use nectar& bloom for our florals. We wanted something fun, unique, and just not what you always see at most weddings in our area. Lisa and Ann Marie were amazing in their communication and breakdowns of what could work with our budget and venue space, and were very adaptable and helpful as changes came along the way! We had high expectations coming into our wedding day, but they were absolutely blown out of the park once we saw everything come to life! From my bridal bouquet to the AMAZING floral arch and centerpieces, we were absolutely thrilled with how bright, colorful, fun, and unique our florals were. Our guests are still raving about the flowers that we had, and I even sent out our flowers to be preserved so that I have this amazing piece of our day treasured forever. I would highly recommend using the n&b team for your wedding day; whether you are looking for something more traditional or going for something more unique and personalized, you are in great hands with Lisa and Ann Marie designing your dream day!!

She makes sure your day runs smoothly while capturing real, raw moments and makes the photo part "quick and painless" so you can get back to your family and friends to enjoy every detail put in to your event. We specialize in naturally lit and low lit weddings. Flash photography and studio lighting are used as necessary to create clean, artsy images.

Madison is the BEST! The second we met her and saw her in action, her insane natural talent and passion was so clear. As someone who does not love getting my photo taken, she made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera and I had so much fun taking our wedding photos. We are absolutely thrilled with the results and feel they are all pieces if art that will forever document the best day of our lives. Her presence and energy brought a chill vibe to the day. She had so many creative ideas for places to shoot that made the photos feel unique and special while capturing the vibe of our day so perfectly. Aside from the photos, Madison was super easy to work with, very accessible, straight to the point, and never gave us the runaround like other wedding vendors sometimes can. If you’re thinking of booking with Madison - do it, you won’t regret it!

Words can't describe how thankful I am to have had Jess and Jackie on my wedding day!!! Our day wouldn't have nearly gone as smoothly without them. They truly embraced the day and put all their energy into knowing inside and out our timeline, every detail, our vendors and our bridal party. I (the bride) was able to go about my entire day without having to worry about a single thing because they were taking the lead and handling it all. With a big bridal party and family, they ensured our most important people were where they needed to be and that we got all the photo shots that I had specified on my extensive list. All my expectations for the day that I had talked with them the months prior to our wedding were met and exceeded. There were only a few small bumps to the day and they immediately diffused the situation and quickly resolved it, all while being so kind and professional. These two allowed me to be completely present on my day and blocked out all the noise for me and I can't thank them enough for that. I will forever be grateful for Jess and Jackie and I highly recommend you book them ASAP!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Having AMP Band for our wedding was an A Experience. For our wedding, we used the DJ/Band Entertainment for reception, along with the String Duo Violins for the ceremony. During the pre-wedding planning stage, Ana & Jimmy took the time to get to know us on a personal level and answered all of our questions quickly through emails and zooms. What I loved about the planning stage with them was their ability to incorporate our music suggestions, while also providing feedback on music through their expertise. On the wedding day, they absolutely crushed it!! During our wedding, it was a perfect mix of live and dj entertainment during our reception. They met all of our expectations music-wise and did a phenomenal job of playing music to all generations during the night. We had countless people raving about their performance in the days after their wedding. Can’t recommend them anymore!!!

My love of art and nature have led me to where i am today. I thrive when I can create and to be able to make a work of art with flowers, truly brings me a great joy. I want to bring your visions to reality through flowers on your special day or exciting events. Over my years of training in both traditional art and floral design I have developed my own personal style that is anything but traditional, but more so unique- just like all of us. Perla, which is French for pearl, was my Grandmothers name, is my middle name, and the name I give to my passion I hope to share with you.

Perla Fleur was an exceptional florist for our wedding. From the moment we first met with Rebecca and her team, we knew we were in good hands. They were incredibly kind, receptive to all of our ideas, and went above and beyond to bring our vision to life. The floral arrangements they created were truly breathtaking - we received endless compliments from our wedding guests on the ethereal and elegant look they achieved. Rebecca and her staff were also there for us all day, even moving our ceremony arch to our reception dance floor so we could enjoy it all night long. Perla Fleur provided exceptional value and we couldn't be happier with the results. We highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding!

Awarded Best of Zola
The best decision I made when planning our wedding was hiring Menaza, AKA ‘Superwoman’!!! My husband and I are an international couple that were looking to get married in New York and therefore needed to hire someone to assist us. Menaza’s resume and brochure was impressive! But when I spoke to her personally, we hit it off right away and hiring her was a no brainer! She was the calm I needed for my Type C/A personality! Menaza wore a million hats to help us pull off the wedding of our dreams! She handled all of the vendor bookings, contracts, logistics, and organizing of timelines. She even provided bonus services of putting together all of our florals! She created our bouquets, boutonnieres, table centre pieces and provided all the little details, like our card box, table seating mirror, welcome sign and offered to create and print our stationary. She brainstormed with us on concepts, helped us create a wedding & bar logo and accompanied us to venue visits, during our several visits to New York. Even when I had issues ordering items online, she stepped up and ordered them on my behalf! She advised on the tipping culture of the US, assisted with our marriage licence & officiant application and was open and honest about what sort of costs we should expect for certain items. Menaza researched and secured some amazing vendors for us and ensured that on our wedding day we were taken care of! (IE, I expressed to her that I really wanted sushi during cocktail hour... and while I was taking family photos she showed up with two plates stacked full of sushi with a BIG SMILE on her face! Lol) I was SOOOOO HAPPY!! One thing that stood out about Menaza over other planners we interviewed was that she was always available, we weren’t limited to a number of phone calls & contact times. I messaged her with every thought I had and within a reasonable amount of time she responded. We are still getting rave reviews on how amazing our wedding was and it would not have been possible without her. We had many family members and guests that were asking to meet her as they were so impressed!! Menaza went above and beyond to be there for us, even as she celebrated her own life’s blessings, we are forever grateful for her! HIRE HER! You won’t regret it!

Genie artistry was absolutely incredible for my wedding. We were a big group, 12 for makeup and 10 for hair. They finished us early, had time for touch ups and nothing about it felt rushed. The morning moved seamlessly and smoothly. Jeanine and her team are one of the best. I also had an extremely diverse bridal party and they were able to accommodate that and work on everyone. They truly highlighted everyone’s best features and each girl came out stunning. With 3 make up artists and 2 hair stylists you may worry about consistency but each member of the team is so talented, you cannot even tell who did which girl. We started at about 9am and by 6pm for the ceremony everyone’s hair and makeup was perfectly in tact. This is a rare team who can deliver excellence on 12 different girls in a 5 hour period. I would seriously consider them for your wedding/bridal shower or event.

At 18, with no experience at all, Cristina attended her first “off the-guest-list” wedding, as a photographer’s assistant. Since then, she has been romantically and brazenly addicted to weddings! Following that passion with a balance of intention and fate as a private planner, Cristina graduated from the Stern School of Business in 2014 with an experienced eye for Event Design. In 2018, she established Planned by Cristina Capone, a luxury wedding & event design company. We value comfort. Our tone is always polite, helpful, and kind.

Awarded Best of Zola
We've said it a hundred times- we could not have planned such an amazing wedding without Cristina. She is incredibly organized and kept us on track throughout the planning process. She came prepared with tools, lists, guidance, and a listening ear from the very first meeting. Cristina took a lot of work off our plate by coordinating directly with vendors and removing the noise. Because of her wealth of experience, we trusted her with advice and recommendations on everything from big decisions to small details. Cristina had also worked with several of our vendors previously, so that made meetings and communications with them so seamless! We had so little stress on our wedding day thanks in big part to Cristina team's day-of coordination and timeline. We got so many compliments on the flow of our wedding, and brides are still asking me to send them my timeline because it worked so well. Cristina worked with us, our vendors, and even our parents throughout the wedding prep so that we truly all felt like one team. Thank you for everything, Cristina!!
