Sergio and his team at PEG were truly exceptional and I am so happy we booked them for our wedding! We had them do our ceremony music, our reception DJ , live sax player, and photo booth! Sergio worked with us every step of the way to make sure we had a package that worked for us. The dance floor was not empty for a single second of the night! The Sax player was a huge hit! AND I remember hearing all of the songs on our must play list. It really made the night so memorable and I definitely recommend booking Pluse Event Group for your wedding or event!!!!!!

If you're a bride, you know that things have changed a little bit since the day you got engaged, you started making plans right away and every step it's a roller coaster of emotions that will follow you until your wedding day. Being a bride in the past, I understand the need of being surrounded by professionals that not only provide you with beautiful and organized work but you also treat you as a special person and not just a number.

Awarded Best of Zola
Chrys is THE BEST of the best!!! I cannot sing her praises enough. Not only is she the sweetest person, she is professional and fun!! Chrys made me feel like an absolute goddess on my wedding day. Chrys came highly recommended from a friend and I couldn’t be more grateful for that recommendation. Chrys and her team had their hands full with 18 ladies for hair, 16 for make up and my bridal hair and make up. They were finished ahead of schedule and absolutely rocked every single head of hair and face of make up. I have a few people close to me who are not fans of getting their make up done and they couldn’t have been happier with the results. Everyone’s make up looked flawless and everyone’s hair absolutely stunning. Book Chrys and her team for every event you have!!! You will not be disappointed !!

Wild Hearts NJ

  • Photographer

  • Serves Ocean Gate, NJ

My love for photography was born when I picked up a camera and started shooting street photography as a hobby. This hobby quickly took over my entire life! Thankfully, combined with my editing and retouching skills, I was able to turn my passion into a career. Owning and running Wild Hearts has been the one of my greatest joys! I love truly love capturing your real life moments and emotions. Yes I am organized as hell and type A, but balance that with heavy doses of standing back and just capturing the moment as it’s happening. I feel a real connection with all the wild hearts out there, and would love it if you let me capture yours!

Awarded Best of Zola
Wild Hearts was the best photographer you could ask for on your wedding day! Kamelia is great at communicating throughout the entire process. Ahead of the wedding day we had a comprehensive 45 min conversation before I booked her about vision. She actually helped me get a timeline set up for the day and gave me a list of other recommended vendors which I used to find my hair/makeup stylist. It was very easy because the payments were broken up over time so nothing snuck up on you. About 1 week before my fiancé and I met up with Kamelia over brunch to discuss the locations of all the shots we planned on taking, the color scheme, all family members for those photos, and to get more comfortable with each other. I really appreciated this. The day of the wedding I could ask for nothing better. Kamelia is very organized and kept the whole day running with great direction. It was easy to follow her direction to set up poses and get some candid shots. Allyson was the other photographer and really got along with the groom and the groomsmen. They knew all of the good spots around Asbury Park and the board walk to get photos. The best times that my husband and I had was when it was just us and the photographers walking around Asbury Park Boardwalk. We were all vibing having a great time and I really think that made the photos even better. They are both such lovely and professional individuals to work with and it shows. Both photographers took INCREDIBLE photos. You always want your wedding photos to turn out great but these exceeded my expectations. Every single person at my wedding has nothing but incredible things to say about the photos. I would highly recommend Wild Hearts if you are getting married in or around Asbury Park. They were beyond a pleasure to work with.

DJ Cam truly went above and beyond! As a bride who knows how to micromanage, I never felt that way with DJ Cam. He perfectly captured the music vibe my fiancé and I love and delivered an incredible performance. We wanted the music to naturally draw people to the dance floor without any emcee work, and DJ Cam nailed it with a fantastic set list. He avoided the typical "wedding-y" songs and created the party atmosphere we dreamed of. DJ Cam was super responsive via email, text, and phone, and his fun yet professional demeanor made everything smooth. He arrived early to set up and handle any potential challenges, ensuring a relaxed and enjoyable evening. We felt completely at ease knowing he had everything under control. DJ Cam is not your average DJ—he's the one to deliver an unforgettable party beat!

Photography is more than a few crisp images, it’s the gift of being able to tell someone else’s story through art. Being behind the camera comes with the privilege of being present for people’s most intimate and special moments. I was born and raised in Central Jersey, and throughout my life photography has been at the center. Over 10 years ago, I took the leap and took my love of the craft to new levels by creating Cyan Blue Photography.

Jillian was fantastic. We had family photos done and my girls loved her and she made it look so easy having them cooperate lol. It didn’t feel like just a business transaction - she was patient, approachable, listened to what our vision was and tried to make it happen and DID! It felt as if we already knew her because of how comfortable we were. You can tell that she genuinely has a passion for photography through her work and watching her snap photos of your kids on her own when they are candidly being cute and saying how she could help it because “ they are just too adorable” This was our first experience with taking professional photos outside and not in a studio at the mall. It was worth the entire experience and I can’t thank her enough! I highly recommend and have been recommending her to everyone because I’ve gotten so many compliments and we got so many good photos!!

This Insane Idea Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,250
  • Serves Ocean Gate, NJ

We are Mark & Brittany Edman, NJ based wedding team. Mark created “This Insane Idea” with the vision that anything is possible. As your lead shooter, he had a passion for photography his entire life, capturing moments around him in the most authentic ways until one day Brittany told him “go full time”, it was insane. He fell in love with wedding photography and the emotion it brought out for everyone involved. Coming home so happy with unique stories and photos from all over the state, Brittany knew she needed to join him on wedding days. Having a background in hospitality for 20 years Brittany began coordinating the day alongside Mark.

Awarded Best of Zola
When it comes to Mark and his team, I don’t even know where to start. Everyone always said to me, “when you find the right photographer, you’ll know.” I had no idea what that meant, and browsed dozens of vendors- until my venue (The Inn at Millrace Pond) tagged This Insane Idea in one of their Instagram photos. We knew immediately that we had to book Mark. We went above our initial budget, and we felt confident doing so- I can tell you their prices are hugely fair and they deliver what they promise. We had an extremely helped Zoom call with Mark, and at first we’re very anxious because he was going to be sending two of his staff, Tom and Kristen because he personally was unavailable our date. He ensured that Tom came with him for our engagement session. I can tell you- there was absolutely ZERO reason for us to worry, and we knew this as soon as we met Mark and Tom. Mark and his team are truly artists, and can find beauty in the best of moments- I will never forget being crouched in my beautiful gown like Gollum, plowing my way through cocktail hour food in between photos- because they captured it. I love how they captured moments that were truly US, and how their portraits still managed to capture the many huge personalities of our families, friends, and us. They were excellent at communication, and made sure we were always in the loop. They walked us through our timeline in specific detail. And on the day of, as I was trying not to have a panic attack because we were running so behind (no fault of the photographers), Kristen and Tom more than kept it together, which made us feel so relaxed. They made sure to include a portrait of me and the ladies of my family where we were holding my mom’s wedding album, and I can’t tell you how much it meant to me. Even our detail photos were exceptional. I find myself looking at our photos frequently; reliving each moment they captured. We are so incredibly grateful to them for everything they did for us. I also wish I could express how important our engagement photos they took for us are to us. I weirdly am getting emotional writing this, because while you hire vendors and hope for the best- This Insane Idea gave us more than the best. I cannot recommend them enough!

They were so kind and caring the day of, making sure we loved our chuppah and everything. We cannot recommend this team enough, we already are telling our friends getting married that they have to check them out. Also, reasonably priced considering how gorgeous their work is!

Awarded Best of Zola
It’s movie magic with Jesse. He is a kind and professional videographer who has experience with a lot of events so even with unexpected things that may come up, he knows how to roll with it and capture your special moments. The quality of his equipment is unreal meaning that it is so sharp and he also has a drone. He traveled from NJ to my Brooklyn wedding and was on time. The package also came with blu-ray DVDs which had chapter bookmarks so we can go to the important moments. But the nicest personal touch was a customized USB drive he sent that had our names engraved! These pics are screenshots from our highlight film. One thing I wish I would have specified is to get more footage of our family and friends - while it was nice to have a focus on us in some moments, I wish we talked through that so I could have soaked in more but I also know the limits to having one videographer. I think he has a separate editing team especially when it’s busy season but it would have been nice to know if he wasn’t the main person stitching it together as we communicated on vision. My lesson learned is stick with the typical 2-month turnaround and don’t try to get it sooner like I did in my contract because he makes really good quality videos but it’ll take time if you want it done right. Overall, you will not regret hiring him for your wedding - you will also feel comfortable around him which is important!

I'm Kaitlin Noel—a wife to Michael, mother to Nicholas and Ryan, and dog mom to our French Bulldog, Ellie. I’m a passionate photographer, traveler, and incurable romantic. When I’m not shooting weddings around the globe, you’ll find me in Cape May, shopping at my favorite local spots with a coffee in hand or walking on the beach. Family is everything to me and my clients are an extension of that. I could eat tacos daily, adore martinis, and decorate my home with a coastal chic inspiration. As an international photographer, I have the pleasure of traveling and experiencing new coastal towns and culters which brings me so much joy!

We hired Kaitlin Noel Photography for our September wedding in Cape May, NJ, and the experience with her and her colleague, Chris, was wonderful! From the moment you meet her to the day you receive your wedding album, you feel like a VIP. The attention to detail and the level of service and care she provides to her clients are beyond words. Her team knows what they are doing and they do it exceptionally well. For example, she was able to corral a group of 50 people, ranging in age from 7 to 90, in just 20 minutes to take a variety of church photos. If you think that's impressive, she even convinced our bridal party to pose on the beach in the blazing sun while wearing their tuxedos and gowns, capturing some truly memorable moments. At the cocktail hour and the reception, Chris was able to capture our many guests and special moments/traditions without being intrusive, ensuring that everyone felt comfortable and relaxed. The level of dedication and experience her team brings was such a stress reliever for myself and my husband throughout the entire day. It’s as if they knew what you wanted without you even having to say it. Overall, our experience was just WOW, and we would highly recommend her and her team to anyone.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Je Taime and hiring Alex as my coordinator. Alex was amazing from start to finish! I wasn't sure if I truly needed a coordinator but hiring Alex was one of the best decisions I made in the wedding planning process. Alex was so helpful, kind, and detail-oriented, which is exactly what I was hoping for. I knew it was a match when she told me she actually got married at the same venue. It really allowed all of us to enjoy the day. Anytime I needed anything throughout the day, Alex was always there to assist, ready and willing! Thank you, Alex

Words can't express how incredibly grateful we are to have had Garden in the Pines as our florist for our wedding at the Bay Head Yacht Club. From our very first call, I knew I had to work with Alyssa. She is incredibly sweet and knowledgable, she really helped form my tastes into a clear vision that she executed PERFECTLY on the wedding day. Every single detail was nailed - she is so responsive, kind, and most of all TALENTED. She knows what she is doing and I really believe hiring her for our wedding was one of - if not THE best decision we made. My bridesmaids, guests, family, friends - everyone kept commenting on how gorgeous the flowers were. The full ballroom was transformed with her beautiful garland down the head table and centerpieces. There was such continuity across every part of the wedding - gosh I could go on and on!!! All I will say is... I know how stressful as a bride it can be to choose the right vendors. I actually had put a deposit down with a florist that was pushy and then cancelled them because I wanted someone who would listen, make me feel comfortable, and that I could trust. I honestly can’t rate GITP any more highly. Your search for a florist should absolutely stop here, CHOOSE GARDEN IN THE PINES!

The Beer Wagon Company

  • Bar services & beverages

Our beer wagon is outfitted with 5 quality tap lines and a pressure system to make sure it's a perfect pour, every time, and our refrigeration unit keeps the beer well chilled. Our rental would include delivery/pick up to the event location, us setting it up on site with our standard decorations and getting your kegs inside tapped and flowing. We are not an alcohol distributor which means that you will need to provide your kegs and have them on site for us to set up.

This was the coolest decision of our entire wedding!!!! Why bother spending time and money on ice to keep kegs cold when you can have a refrigerated beer wagon with taps! Forest was so awesome to work with. He dropped off the wagon early for us, helped load and tap the kegs, and even decorated it beautifully (including the beer logo signs).
