Hi my name is Cristian M. Velez, I am the lead cinematographer and owner at Cinemarvelfilms. All started when I got one of my first cameras over 10 years ago, and began filming my daughter's life from birth all the way until she was 7 years old. When I edited all of the short clips together to create a film capturing her first seven years of life, my passion for crafting memories and telling stories through video began.

I would highly recommend choosing Cristian and Cinemarvelfilms for your wedding video. He was so kind through the entire process. He worked with us on short notice while we had to switch our plans due to COVID. Our videos came out beautiful!!! We couldn’t have asked for anything better! We’re so lucky to have these treasured videos to remember our day thanks to Cinemarvelfilms! Thank you!

Creating emotionally driven wedding films to help you remember you're remarkable wedding day story! Who am I? I'm just a guy who went to college. I learned about management, student loans, and computers. Now I make movies where you just happen to be the main character.

My husband and I have not stopped watching our wedding video…. It’s perfection. We cannot say enough great things about Nuptial Films. He was thorough in understanding what we were looking for but at the same time providing professional insight. We felt at ease knowing that his experience and creativity will shine through in a video we’d love and get to watch for many years to come. The video captured the essence of our relationship, our love for those that joined us on our special day and just how much fun we love to have. It really captured us in the most beautiful way. I cannot thank Nuptial Films enough. Highly highly recommend!!

Gemini DJ's

  • Starts at $1,795
  • Serves Oakland, NJ

As one of the top New Jersey and New York City wedding DJs, we understand the need to offer our clients quality, club-style entertainment using the latest technology for your wedding day. After all, the success of your wedding reception is overwhelmingly dependent on the quality of your hired entertainment. We have a vast music library to suit every taste and style and only provide the utmost professional and experienced DJs and Emcees.

I used Gemini DJs for my August 2023 wedding, and I truly couldn't be happier with this decision. We worked with Michael, who was an absolute gem from the start. Within 5 minutes of chatting with Michael the first time, I decided to not meet with any other DJs. The process was super smooth, very well organized, and the music the night of the wedding was absolutely perfect. I couldn't believe how easy it was to work with them. I received several compliments from guests on the music for the entire night (from my club-going guests to my professional musician boss). Everything was tasteful, not overbearing from an MC perspective, and listened to everything we asked for, and very reasonably priced. Book Gemini, you won't regret it!

Day of Vows

  • Serves Oakland, NJ

Jayson and Isabelle are a husband and wife Duo working together to bring your vision to life. It is important to us that every couple has the chance to capture their day of vows. We start planning the moment you book with us. We review all the details and create a plan for the day of your wedding. We work seamlessly with other vendors and strive to make our clients day exactly what they dreamed.

I don't even know if I can accurately put into words just how INCREDIBLE day of vows was for my wedding. Isabelle spent many many hours on the phone with me planning every single second of our special day with us and was actively working with all of our vendors to develop a detailed timeline so everyone knew where to go and when. Without Day of Vows, I'm confident our wedding would have not gone as smoothly as it did allowing me to enjoy my day and feel more like the guest of honor rather than a host. Isabelle arrived 2 hours early (!!!), helped decorate the reception space, helped clean up messes our guests made, and stayed an hour behind to clean up our bridal suite. She and her team went WAY ABOVE AND BEYOND and I am forever grateful to her. Thank you Day of Vows for everything!!!!!!!!!

Alberto Media 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Oakland, NJ

Out of all the various art mediums I believe photography is the most personal. There is a certain degree of trust that is bestowed upon the artist to truly capture a moment and allow it to transcend the test of time. I truly love my job. My work will tell your story. My passion is to highlight, document and capture that story artfully. My commitment is to deliver the highest quality images while not compromising the importance of your day, always mindful that this is your day and your moment. My work is colorful, textural, cinematic, and able to transform common ground places into works of art you will revisit, share, and look to forever.

There is truly nothing like selecting the perfect photographer for your engagement or wedding day. I myself and super passionate about art, design, photography and creative direction, so I knew I wanted to find a photographer that would allow me to be apart of the process in order to bring my ideas to life. Alberto and I had a few brainstorming calls where we went through my (many! Ha) mood boards, hopes, dreams and ideas for my engagement shoot in New York City. Having these calls together really solidified I made the right decision in vendor— he just fully understood where I wanted to take this shoot. I can be a tough client— I am very particular, a perfectionist if you will, and I also work in the creative industry myself. Alberto stepped up to the task gracefully and absolutely knocked it out of the park. My vision came to life from the lighting to the locations to the editing (not too much— you’ll never catch Alberto throwing a filter on you!). Lighting and editing were super key to me— there’s no one size fits all and Alberto truly finds a way to make each shoot (even photo) unique. I cannot speak more highly of Alberto and his art. His technique is Uber-personal and it really shows throughout your photos. He’ll make you feel at ease in front of the camera, and allow for your personalities (big or small!) to really shine. If you haven’t booked Alberto Media for your engagement and/or wedding, what are you waiting for?

At the end of the day, I’m just a guy that loves weddings. Both photographing them and going to one as a guest. The joy, the laughter, the butterflies in stomach. The tears. The celebration. Oh yes, the food. I believe the focal point of a good wedding photography is at the literal and creative portrayal of the emotions between the couple as well as their loved ones. My sincere hope as a wedding photographer is that one day you and your loved ones will look at the images that I created and be reminded of the amazing gratitude you feel for each other.

Mushmouth plays every show like it's Madison Square Garden! Lead singer Bill's energy is off the charts - a mix of Bruce Springsteen, Mick, Jagger, James Brown and a sprinkle of David Byrne all rolled into one! The band, a group of longtime friends, pulls off note for note renditions of all the songs while also adding to the on-stage fun. The Mushmouth show consists of big hits, one hit wonders and lost nuggets from the 70's, 80's, 90's and beyond. From Glen Campbell to the FOO FIGHTERS, Duran Duran to Eric Church.

I cant thank Mushmouth enough for giving me the most memorable wedding I could ever imagine! The dance floor was packed the entire time they were playing and their energy is contagious. If you want your event to be a lively party that people will talk about for years, hire Mushmouth!!

Hoi Polloi 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Oakland, NJ

A stable and fun act that has been serving the New Jersey/NY market for over 20 years. Very dependable, very responsive and helpful when asked for assistance or suggestions. We encourage our clients to come out and hear us live to decide for themselves. Much better than viewing a video and trusting it was all done live in one take.

Hoi Polloi - 10/10 having a band was super important to us. Hoi Polloi was everything we could have hoped for and more! They played all the music we asked for and were great to work with from the start. We booked them for our ceremony, our cocktail hour, and had 11 people with horns and a DJ. They were fantastic to work with and we loved working with them. Jim is super responsive which makes a difference. He made sure the band knew all the music we wanted to play and they even interacted with guests (which I loved).They are also VERY reasonably priced and should probably charge more! They were great. I think the biggest compliment is that people from all ages kept saying they loved them which was perfect to me. They opened with Runaround Sue which is one of the best wedding songs in the world. Everyone got on the dance floor once that song came on and they didn’t leave.

Krave Events Caterer

  • Caterer
  • Serves Oakland, NJ

We are all about our handcrafted kitchen. From soups to dressings, sauces to desserts, we handcraft menus bringing together flavor and culture, in recipes, old and new. We are passionately committed to offering the freshest ingredients available and love to source local when our season allows.

We LOVED working with Krave so much for so many reasons. We got married at the Conservatory at Sussex County Fairgrounds and they do most of the weddings there, and the whole day went so smoothly. First – the food is AMAZING. You get so many options and such a variety of food. Everything was so delicious. When we went for our tasting, we were blown away by how good everything was. We loved that they have the more traditional options, as well as options that are more unique. Everything we tasted was so good and they were so helpful with recommendations. The cakes are so delicious also! We heard so many compliments from all of our guests about how the amount of food was perfect and how delicious everything was. Second – the service leading up to the wedding. They really helped us make decisions about honestly everything. They gave suggestions for the amount of alcohol to order for our guest list, recommended florists for the look we were going for, and helped us decide on timeline for the cocktail hour and reception. They also provide the linens and we rented pillar candles and the glasses from them. We had multiple calls before the wedding which were informative and really got us excited rather than stressed, because we knew we were working with an expert vendor who also really cared about our vision for the day and how the day went. Finally – the wedding day itself. Kate is so amazing to have with you on the day of your wedding. She is so energetic and kind. The team set up the rooms so beautifully and watching it all come together was breathtaking. She was always making sure both us and our parents had drinks, she made sure that we ate and brought us so much cocktail hour food to the bridal suite after the ceremony so we could just have a moment alone and try everything. They also packed up food for us to bring back with us so we could try everything if we didn’t get a chance to, which was so helpful because we didn’t have to worry about grocery shopping when we got back home. I am a very anxious person so I barely ate that day, so I was so grateful to get to try everything. I was so appreciative of her coming to get us to make sure we ate because I probably wouldn’t have if it wasn’t for her. They also brought fruit and snacks to us while we were in the bridal suite. Kate was also working with our day-of coordinator through the Conservatory and the DJ and MC to make sure everything was running smoothly based on our conversations with them and that was so helpful, too – we really felt like we didn’t have to worry about anything that day because they had such great communication. Finally, all of the staff was so wonderful. They always made sure we had what we needed, and our guests told us afterwards that all of the staff was very positive and kind and really went above and beyond. The value you get from working with Krave is so high – not only delicious food, but an ally along the way and a stress-free wedding day!

  • Serves Oakland, NJ

My love of makeup began as a teen when I competed in pageants and talent shows. I honed my skills as a makeup artist while working for MAC Cosmetics as an artist and Cosmetic Manager. I left retail in 2011 to pursue my passion as a freelance artist and I haven’t looked back since. I’ve worked in film, television, fashion, print, editorial & bridal. I enjoy the versatility of it all and I feel blessed to be able to work in different genres. Whether it’s NY Fashion Week, a commercial shoot or natural beauty makeup for a bride my passion is to create and make people feel & look their very best.

Felicia was amazing to work with. She was very responsive and friendly from our first interaction. I took the risk of not scheduling a trial because of timing. I went into the my wedding day feeling a bit nervous about how my makeup would turn out. Felicia showed up to the venue on time and was so pleasant. She may not realize it but she really helped keep me calm during the entire process. I was fielding calls and questions during my makeup application. When I saw my face I couldn't believe it. I asked for a soft and natural glam with lashes and a pinky nude lip. I wondered if she'd be able to bring my vision to life and she did more than that. She far exceeded my expectations! She enhanced my facial features but didn't transform me. My skin looked buttery smooth. That's exactly what I wanted. Felicia stayed for the ceremony and touched me up. Then helped during our photoshoot and touched me up again. Then she helped me with my dress when I stained it. She will be my top choice any time I consider hiring a makeup artist. I'll be referring her to anyone who asks and even those who don't. Thank you so, so, so very much Felicia. You'll be hearing from me again soon!

I’m Lizzie, a wedding & engagement photographer in New York and New Jersey. For more than a decade, I’ve been capturing life's great moments. On wedding days, I am known for my happy and relaxed presence, making sure you’re on time and smiling throughout your whole day.

My husband and I hired Lizzie to do our engagement photos and bridal shower photos. She is really friendly, and her work comes out beautifully. I've recommended her to two other brides who also loved her work! When looking for a photographer, it was really important to me to find someone that would take timeless, natural looking photos that weren't cheesy and Lizzie delivered just that. For our engagement shoot, she thoroughly researched the location I chose (Central Park), recommending the best time for lighting and the best spots to take photos at. She delivered the photos quickly and even gave me a sneak peak the night of the shoot! For my bridal shower, she captured the most sentimental candids. The room was a little dark, but she has the right equipment with her to deliver amazing photos with perfect lighting. Aside from delivering a great final product, Lizzie is friendly and makes taking photos really comfortable. Her diligent research of the venue/location beforehand really made her work that much better. Her editing style is natural and timeless, and she was able to really capture how I was feeling at the moment.

Black Bear Golf Club

Franklin, NJ
  • Venue

  • Starts at $6,000
  • Offer

Whether you want a small gathering of 30 or a larger ceremony of up to 140 guests, Black Bear Golf Club has the perfect setting for your wedding day. The beautiful, outdoor gazebo is perfect for outdoor ceremonies with dramatic views from Pikes Peak to Longs Peak to serve as your wedding backdrop.

From start to finish, Black Bear Golf Club was a dream to work with for our 10/14/23 wedding. Lee was the greatest wedding coordinator a couple could ask for. She dished out helpful advice and suggestions, answered all our questions, and was warm and friendly every step of the way. She was a source of calm on wedding weekend and we're so grateful for her expertise. The food at Black Bear is generous and delicious. Couples have so many tasty options to choose from and your guests will not leave hungry. The cake that Black Bear supplies from Calandra's is equally incredible. The reception area is spacious -- there's two bars, ample seating, and a large dance floor. The room for cocktail hour is a nice inside/outside space, with enough room for guests to spread out, enjoy each other's company, and take in the scenery. It poured on our wedding day, so we weren't able to use the outside ceremony area, but the staff did an incredible job setting up inside -- the extra decorations and touches they added made it feel just as beautiful. If you get married in fall like we did, prepare to be wowed but all of the pumpkins, gourds, mums, and harvest vibes. Of course, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the mountains -- our guests couldn't believe how breathtaking they were as the fog rolled in, and the gentle wisps of foliage sprinkled within. Net/net: Black Bear is affordable in terms of the wedding industry; the food is delicious and bountiful; the scenery is beautiful; and the staff is friendly and helpful. I've been replaying this wonderful day in my head endless since the big day. THANK YOU for everything!

Dramatic, Art Deco Located in the heart of the historical Village of Ridgewood, NJ. Amenities include critically acclaimed culinary programming, a stunning bridal suite, our signature hospitality and much more… Let us make your memories of a lifetime! The Treasury at Felina is a neoclassical bank space that features marble columns, soaring windows, towering ceilings, and a wraparound mezzanine for cocktail hour. Elements of brass, marble, the iconic Bank Vault Door and the floating chandelier sculpture combine to impress and delight the scenes, promising celebrations never to be forgotten.

If you are looking for a perfect wedding venue, look no further, Felina is it! From the moment that my fiancé and I toured the venue we knew that we had to have our wedding there. Carissa was the absolute best. Every single question that we asked, she had an answer to. She was extremely responsive and in the days leading up to the wedding and on the wedding day she and her team made our day memorable. We are weeks out from our wedding and our guests are still raving about how good the food, drinks, and service was at Felina. The venue is gorgeous with the vault and floating chandelier. There are so many good spots to take gorgeous pictures. There are 2 bars and the drinks kept flowing! If you are worried about the ceremony and reception being in the same place, don’t stress! They flipped the room in 42 min flat and as our guests were eating and drinking on the mezzanine during cocktail hour. Our guests didn’t even notice the room flip. It was also nice that on the day of our wedding the Felina rooftop was open to the public. So after the reception our guests could go to the roof to buy their own drinks and enjoy the view of Ridgewood. I couldn’t be more happy with picking Felina to have our ceremony and reception and if I had to, I’d pick them 100 more times. Thank you for making our wedding day so special for me, my husband, our families and friends!

We got married at The Mansion on Aug 10th and there are insufficient characters in this review box to capture our gratitude for what an impeccable place this was to get married. We initially chose the venue for ease of the location (we live a few blocks away). I hoped the food would be good, since we couldn't do a tasting, and just trusted it would all work out. THESE PEOPLE BLEW ME AWAY. The staff is awesome, from the Matre D, to the Bridal Attendant, to all the ways Jim and Nancy helped us tend to ever detail of the event, it was the most perfect day. The food was so delicious. Our guests are still talking to us about it weeks later. The cocktail hour was incredible. The main course was the best piece of meat I've ever had in my life. Everything was so fresh, and so delicious. My only regret of my wedding was that I didn't eat more than just a few bites of everything. I woke up the next morning craving the rest of my filet mignon, lol. We went with the "minimum" of everything included because we were on a budget, but it was all so abundant, generous and tasty. Even the dessert platters that came with the meal were amazingly delicious. The space itself is luxurious and beautiful. We had the whole venue to ourselves and the whole thing was just magical.

Awarded Best of Zola
Planning our wedding from Charleston, SC, Daniel and I had to be strategic with our venue tours and wedding coordination. The North Shore House was the first venue we planned to visit on a weekend trip home. From the moment we drove through the gorgeous grounds gate, we were hooked. Eric met us at the door and gave us a walkthrough of the estate. He was very professional, thorough, light-hearted, and honest. He had all the answers to any question we posed. After leaving, we made it half through our next venue tour, and knew we had already found the place for us at the North Shore House. We got engaged in November, booked the North Shore House in January, and recently held our event on September 9th. A majority of our coordination meetings, we were able to hold remotely (which saved a few plane rides for us) Everytime we came to visit for a bridal expo, tasting, and then later our 30 day pre-wedding meeting, the grounds became lush and more beautiful than we remembered. It truly is a gorgeous venue. We had the pleasure of working with the entire team—from Louise and Eric, to Kelly, Molly, and Emma. It truly was a group effort. The platform that they use “Planning Pods” makes it easy to communicate all needs and unanswered prompts with clear deadlines. It’s a great tool to keep planning needs organized. The food was impeccable! Ken made the BEST recommendations! I have celiac disease, and the whole kitchen staff made accommodations to ensure all guests with allergies were able to enjoy the food. I’ll be thinking about Michelle’s gluten-free cupcakes for years to come! I have to take the rest of my review to praise Kelly Koster, who was our day-of coordinator. I could NOT have stayed as calm as I had without her guidance. The forecast for our wedding day was less than ideal, scattered storms in the area. All that I wanted for the past ten months was to get married alongside that gorgeous lake. Kelly and the team watched the storm tracker, and kept us updated on our options. She presented alternatives with a very matter-of-fact attitude, ensuring that it was our decision (which made it hard because I was talking to my husband through other people.) The whole team scrambled to move our ceremony a half hour earlier and ultimately, we moved the cocktail hour inside. As I walked down the aisle, a very dramatic windstorm blew through, my veil flew even off of my head! We all watched as the sky turned from blue to grey in the most dramatic way. It was a ceremony for the books. Not a drop of rain fell until the last guest entered the venue for cocktail hour. I could not have imagined our wedding to have been anywhere else. From the rehearsal dinner, to the wedding, accommodations, food, day-of coordinator, the North Shore House provided exactly what we NEEDED for our day. It truly is the best one-stop shop. We are forever grateful of the memories this venue has given us. We plan to come back every year for our anniversary dinner! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

It may sound corny but I LOVE love! Every love story deserves to be celebrated. I love and accept any client without discrimination. I proudly serve all gender identities, sexualities, races, cultures, religions, bodies, and abilities. Your love is welcome here! I am truly honored to capture your special day and celebrate with you the beginning of this new chapter in your lives. I love capturing their couples connection and the genuine connections with their family and friends. I love hearing about your story - from dating to proposal and everything in-between!

Erika was incredible!! From the moment I reached out, she was quick with her responses and made the contracting process as simple as possible, by providing questionnaires and detailed information to make sure that everything was aligned. The package that my partner and I chose, also included an engagement shoot, which gave us an opportunity to not only witness the way that she works, but to be able to experience her incredibly kind spirit. During the engagement shoot, my partner and I had felt the most comfortable in front of the camera because of Erika's encouragement and guidance throughout. This further solidified our decision to choose Erika as our wedding photographer. The pics from our engagement shoot were spectacular! The edits were nicely done and even though I'm generally critical of how I look in pictures, she made sure to bring out the best of me and my partner! Erika remained in constant contact with me leading up to the wedding, which gave me so much peace of mind. On the day of the wedding, Erika was prompt and brought such a calmness, that one could only want on their wedding day. She made sure to capture the pics from the shot list that I provided her and she was able to capture so much more! We just received a sneak peek from our wedding photos that she sent within a week and OMG the pics are stunning!! I actually teared up when looking at them because she perfectly captured the beauty and love from that day! My husband and I are overjoyed with the pics and can't wait for the final edits of the remaining pictures. I would recommend Erika to anyone for the simple fact that she knows what she's doing and it is evident!! I'm looking forward to other events that we will be able to utilize her services because she was just that amazing!

Bri Johnson Weddings 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $7,000
  • Serves Oakland, NJ

I'm a beauty, boudoir, & wedding photographer living in New Jersey with my husband and two kitties. We’re both originally from Upstate NY (and I mean WAY upstate like Rochester) where we grew up, fell in love, and I studied photography professionally. I photographed my first wedding in 2010 and haven’t looked back. Too many “I do’s” to count and I am still getting excited over your dress, I’m keeping your friends and family laughing, and I cannot wait to congratulate you after the ceremony. I know how lucky I am to photograph such momentous milestones and create images you’ll cherish 50 years down the road.

Bri Johnson was BY FAR the best decision we made for our wedding. Her services go well beyond taking photos and her talent well beyond a typical wedding photographer. From the day we met her we knew she was the perfect fit for us. She has a great personality that’s kind and lighthearted, but tough at the same time - the perfect mix to corral a crazy family like ours on the wedding day. She’s also VERY organized and guides you through every step of the process with timely checkins and articles to help make decisions or manage yourself (e.g. pros and cons of a first look, how to prepare for a rainy wedding day, what to pack for the day of, etc.). She worked tirelessly on our wedding timeline and served as our mentor to help estimate timing. She found creative solutions to fit in everything that was important to us and adjusted it as needed when we got closer to the day. Her responsiveness is incredible. Unlike other vendors you may encounter, you will never wonder where you are in the process with her. Most times she anticipates your needs and questions, but when those random thoughts pop up she is always quick to answer calls or emails. Her turnaround time is notable as well. We had sneak peaks of our engagement session and wedding the NEXT DAY and our full galleries shortly afterwards. Our family and friends were thrilled to see the photos so quickly, as were we. Bri is the quarterback of your wedding day and she’s a darn good one! Prior to the wedding she contacted the other vendors to make sure they had copies of our timeline and were on the same page in terms of run-of-show. She made sure we stuck to the timeline and kept the day moving like a well oiled machine. That said, Bri navigates through changes and wedding hurdles with ease. For example when we stayed longer after the ceremony because the light outside was just right or when my father decided to do a last minute speech at the reception. She didn’t skip a beat. The photos she takes will have everyone wishing they hired her for their wedding day. Bri has a way of making you feel comfortable in front of the camera and in doing so captures the best version of yourself. She has an amazing eye for photography and can literally make a stone wall by a dumpster look like a stone wall in a meadow (true story). Her photos capture emotion and a certain je ne sais quoi that will have you wishing she could follow you around and take every photo of you from that day on. We cannot recommend Bri enough and will gush about her to whoever will listen. She is a true professional, with great talent and an amazing personality to match. Read through all of her amazing reviews, but look no further…she’s the best.

Photographs are forever. A visual reminder of your love, the celebration of the day, and the people surrounding and supporting you in this beautiful union. These are the photos you will be showing your grandchildren, hanging on your wall, and showing off on social media for many anniversaries to come. Photos are timeless.

I have come to realize that the photos of your wedding is a huge part that you really want to invest in, and my husband and I wanted all the right moments captured not only for ourselves to look back on, but for our loved ones to appreciate as well. Those moments that you will have in your wedding (no matter how big or small, possibly due to covid) is something that you don’t want to miss because you might never get that opportunity again. Our photographer Nina was honestly a God sent. She went out of her way to capture the moments that mattered and was very personable and attentive to our needs during this whole experience. That shot that you want, you WILL get if you choose her. Nina helped us tell our wedding story almost poetically. The turn around time was quicker than I expected and I was able to share my beautiful pictures with my loved ones. Ninas professionalism was top tier and the service you get was exceptional, period. Bottom line, if you are in need of someone to capture memories and not just take photographs, stop looking, you found just found her!

Our experience with Gabby from the beginning was fantastic! I don't think I'd ever recommend anyone else! So when she asked me today if I could leave a review I was shocked I hadn't already!!!! To start with...Communication with her was always informative and detailed. She actually did our wedding back in January and Our wedding was one of the unlucky ones impacted by COVID so when we were scrambling to get our plans together in preparation for postponements and downsizing gabby was the sweetest and the easiest to talk to. She was very understanding with our situation since we're both frontline workers and even went as far as to get tested twice before our small backyard ceremony. The photos are beyond beautiful... we're so happy we chose Gabby for our mini ceremony and our part 2 in 2022!!!
