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.

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!!

Ten stars! I know I am super late, but better late than never. I just wanted to say thank you for how awesome Michael and the Red Bank Studio team were for our wedding. From their punctuality and professionalism throughout the whole process, to Michael’s contagious smile and good spirit on the wedding day, we must say that we could not have been able to find anyone else better than them to take care of us on our special day. I am not just saying this myself, but in fact many of my guests very impressed with Michael’s work and charisma, and came to me to complement his work and personality. Your energy, your charm, and your ability to make people laugh even when they do not want to, made our wedding day extra special. I must say that I was extremely worried about my husband and his lack of smiling skills, but he gave us the best smile I have ever seen in him. More than taking pictures and recording a video, Michael and the team would make sure that we were comfortable and we never felt overwhelmed with pictures that day. They actually enjoy their work. You can tell is not a job for them! I cannot thank you guys enough, and I will be forever grateful for the stellar work you guys performed at our wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you are looking to have a wedding where your guests do not leave the dance floor the entire night - look no further because JB Pro Live is who you need!! Our DJ, Jan, absolutely exceeded all expectations we had as a DJ for our wedding day. When we met with him before the wedding, we gave him a few of our favorite songs but told him to use his discretion as what was most important to us was having everyone dancing and enjoying themselves. WELL, did he know what he was doing!!! Our dance floor was filled the ENTIRE NIGHT. We had 220 guests at our wedding, and 0 of them were sitting. We have guests who didn't even know we had a photo booth or voicemail booth because they truly did not leave the dance floor one time to look around. Jan reads the room perfectly and truly has a niche for knowing what people like to hear. Our MC Matt was also so great! He helped keep the night on track and made sure we were enjoying ourselves the entire time. He was fun, entertaining, and kept the vibes going! We have had 10 guests ask for our DJs information so they can book him for their own wedding because he really was just that good. After just the first dance set alone, our guests were excited and ready to party because he set the tone perfectly! We also booked a saxophonist through JPBRO as well as a dry ice machine, indoor firework fountains, and the snow effect and they were all perfect! The snow was by far the best addition! It was practically real snow (way better than what we were expecting) and all of our guests went crazy over it! The saxophonist was also a great touch and played practically every song throughout the night which our guests loved! And of course the dry ice machine and indoor firework fountains looked so great in our wedding pictures! Request Jan as your DJ- he is worth every penny and you will not regret it!!! He is absolutely a pro at what he does and you can guarantee that with him, not only will you have the best night of your life, but your guests will as well!

Alyssa & Garden in The Pines was my most FAVORITE vendor to work with while planning my wedding. Her timely responses, constant reassurance & ideas/knowledge made me more relaxed during my super stressful/hectic wedding planning! I would recommend Garden in the Pines to ANYONE! She created my bouquets almost exactly like I asked.. she created the most romantic setting for my reception like I asked with candelabras as center pieces and candles galore ! My sweetheart table had BEAUTIFUL large florals with the exact colors I wanted. She even gave me extra flowers for my cake! At the church she made beautiful smaller arrangements for the pews. I couldn’t say enough about Alyssa! She was a delight to work with!

When my veil flew off in the wind during photos, Alex from Je T'aime effortlessly grabbed her emergency kit of essentials and went to work, seamlessly resecuring my veil and ensuring it didn't fly off again.
