Self-proclaimed plant nerds, we are two kick a** horticulturists who met in the public garden world and have carved a place for ourselves in the floral biz. Weddings are our jam. With the creative process at the heart of all we do, hands-on service is an understatement. From day one to day-of, we got you. Plan, design, deliver- cross them off the list. Oh... and we will oogle your invites, hug your families, and tear up when we deliver your blooms. We can’t help it. We are so grateful. Client focused and design driven. Your big day is our big day at nectar&bloom. Trust the process and we’re in!

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!!

My hair came out and held up a bit better in the trial than on the day of but I still feel fine about it overall, as it really was absolutely beautiful on wedding day. The makeup assistant got covid days before the wedding which made Paola grab a hair assistant last minute to prep the hair so Paola could do the hair and makeup; it was the best anyone could do in the circumstances and I get that fully. They really stepped up during a crazy time and still made the getting ready time super enjoyable/stress free.

DJ Pete was the BEST MC, he was just great, impeccable timing, communication and his positivity set the tone for the entire event. DJ Joe Rocco was equally great with reading the crowd - he had the dance floor packed all night, and we had a small wedding of about 75 people. They arrived on time, setup quickly and everything was seamless. So many guests came up to us after and asked who the DJs were and said they had never EVER been to a wedding with such great DJing. What a night to remember, thanks to Dash of Class!! Hire them!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
had my wedding at Essex Club on 12/1/23 and cannot stop wishing I was reliving my wedding day just as it was! Everything worked out perfectly and Essex Club played the biggest part in that. From the moment my now husband and I stepped into the venue about a year ago up until our wedding night, Jessica could not have been more helpful, honest, and easy to work with. She was always willing to answer my hundreds of questions and give me an honest opinion. My maitre d, Rob, was the absolute BEST! My husband and family agree. My bridal attendant, Anna, was right beside me any time my bustle was down or my drink was empty. My friends and family all echoed positive sentiment… the food was great, the decor was great, everything came together so beautifully. I can’t recommend the Essex Club and their staff enough. They made our wedding!

Watermill Caterers

Smithtown, NY
  • Venue
  • Up to 500 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

One of Long Island's best-kept secrets, our sprawling estate is nestled in the heart of Suffolk County and is surrounded by manicured landscapes, winding pathways and historic architecture. With an atmosphere of rustic elegance and timeless beauty, the Watermill is the perfect marriage of old-world charm and luxurious modern comforts—perfectly providing the finest amenities and endless enchantments at every turn. For more than 25 years, the Watermill has fostered joy and thousands of lasting memories through an unyielding commitment to providing unparalleled service, award-winning cuisine, and an unforgettable experience for each and every guest who walks through our doors.

This venue was amazing from start to finish. We met with Brian during the planning process and he was extremely helpful and generous the whole time. When planning, since it was both our second weddings, I said I didn’t want a hall. We saw a few places but when we stepped into The Watermill we fell in love with it!! We loved the relaxed feeling, the amazing aromas, the gorgeous gardens, the spacious feeling, the friendly staff, the endless amount of food!!!! We still have people raving about the food! We had several add ons and even the staff commented that they never saw so much food served at a wedding! When arriving we were greeted by our Maitre’d Sean and Bridal Attendant Morgan. They never left our side all night. They helped with every little detail and made sure our drinks were always full, our napkins were on our laps, made sure our kids and family were happy and that we were having a great time!! Morgan even helped my Mom with her shoe and found tape to put on it so it would stop rubbing. They were amazing! We took pictures outside before the ceremony and they brought out a ton of food for the bridal party and family! They were all starving so this was great!! There was also food and champagne in our bridal suite! We did a run through rehearsal and Sean whisked us away so we wouldn’t be seen by anyone. We had amazing weather so were able to enjoy our beautiful ceremony and cocktail hour outside. The amount of food at cocktail hour was insane! We didn’t get to walk around much as we were greeting guests but from what I saw and pictures people took, the food just didn’t stop! It was the best mix of everything and the stations were set up in such a fun way! The guests loved it. They were all full already!! But more food was waiting!! Next came the reception in the Vanderbilt Room. We had 200 people and still had plenty of space to move around. That was important to me. The bar was never packed as they had several people working it. I didn’t eat much that night but they did pack it up for me to eat later and it was delicious. Our guests could not get over the amount of choices they had for their dinner. They’ve never seen anything like that before. Everyone said it was great. We chose the Viennese hour for dessert and wow!!!! My husband and I sat at our table and enjoyed watching everyone go around picking dessert. I can’t even explain all the amazing choices they provided! It was beyond what we could have imagined!! The whole dance floor was surrounded by tables of amazing desserts!! And let’s not forget the donut wall and hot pretzels on the way out!! I cannot rave enough about The Watermill and the staff!! If you are getting married here you are in excellent hands. They are experts at what they do. From booking, to drop off, to the day of, everything was flawless and I couldn’t have asked for anything better!! It was without a doubt the best wedding!!!

Craig James Video

  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Serves Oakdale, NY

The first time I picked up a video camera I was 10 years old making home movies in my basement with friends. Today, I enjoy capturing everything from weddings to overseas adventures while still having that excitement of storytelling I had when I was a kid. I create timeless wedding videos by capturing the experience of marriage in an authentic way. My videos are inspired by real moments, emotions and people.

Like many 2020 brides, my husband and I postponed our large wedding reception until next year and held a small ceremony and dinner on our original date. Craig was recommended by our photographer for our original date and we also knew we wanted to have him for our small ceremony. Craig is the nicest guy and literally always had a smile on his face. (And I could tell even with a mask on the whole time! He smiles with his eyes!). Not only did the day move flawlessly, Craig sent us our ceremony and first look footage within 1 week of our wedding. He also edited and sent us our highlight video in less than 2 weeks! He did an incredible job and we are so happy we had him there to capture our amazing day. I have watched the highlight video so many times and it will be treasured forever. We can’t wait to have him there for our larger reception next year.

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!!!

Working alongside Samantha from Forever And A Day Coordination was a game-changer.
