HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! If I could give more stars I would! Sergio and his team were nothing short of AMAZING at our wedding! They had the dance floor packed the entire night! My husband and I didn't leave the dance floor at all that we even missed out on our cigar station and late night snack station. And we were totally okay with that!! They made sure to play every song we requested and they played such a great wide variety of music (which is what we asked for) that had everyone of all ages dancing! Even my 93 and 97 year old grandfathers couldn't stay in their seats. Sergio was great with communication throughout the entire planning process also. Every time I reached out with a question he responded back quickly with an answer for me. At our final consultation (which was at 8pm on a weeknight) he took his time going over everything with us in great detail, he never rushed us out even when we finished talking wedding stuff and just continued talking like we've all known each other for years. Pulse Event Group is a MUST have at your big event!! You will not be disappointed!

This Insane Idea Photography 

5.0

Freehold, NJ
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,250

My name is Mark and I created “This Insane Idea” with the vision that anything is possible. I've had a passion for photography my entire life, capturing moments around me in the most authentic ways until one day my wife told me “go full time”, it was insane. I fell in love with wedding photography and the emotion it brought out for everyone involved. Family, love, laughter and memories are four things that I think about on a daily basis, I’m practically addicted. When I’m not obsessing over wedding photography I am spending time with my wife Brittany, two sons and our two huskies. We look forward to capturing your day!

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!

I highly recommend Kamelia & Allyson from Wild Hearts NJ to photograph your wedding!! They are exceptionally organized, great communicators, and very artistic in their work! For my wedding, they took a variety of photos, poses, and lightings for us - all photos looked natural. We have no experience at all for posing for photos, but they made the experience effortless, natural, authentic, and enjoyable. You will not need to worry about your photos for your wedding with them in charge!

They will help you with your wedding timeline, keep you on track during the day, and they may even help button and bustle your dress. They took a lot of stress off of the day. We absolutely love our photos and feel so grateful that we booked them.

She is truly professional and had a very calming presence while still making sure that everyone was ready on time. Monica also did the make up for the bridal party & the mother of the bride. She was able to put together looks that worked well with every girl's unique complexion. My mom and the bridesmaids could not stop raving about how good their make-up looked. I would definitely work with her again for another special occasion.

As the bride, she made sure to take care of and pamper me to keep me calm and enjoying the process. I barely felt like I was wearing makeup and she nailed exactly what I was looking for. Would certainly recommend and work with her again! I am so thankful to have had her on such an important day.

Hello! My name is Fen, nice to meet you online! I’m a freelance cinematographer and editor. I split my time between shooting weddings and indie films. I enjoy doing both because I love the thrill of operating a camera and I love people and stories! I have shot over 300 weddings and I edit everything myself. In my spare time I love swimming, hiking, skiing, traveling with my family, writing and learning all kinds of stuff. I’m very curious about the world!

Awarded Best of Zola
Fen is absolutely wonderful!! I found Fen Video on Zola and was immediately struck by the fact that I recognized one of the brides in the promo trailers as an old friend from my home town. I took that as a great sign and reached out to Fen and only Fen to ask about being our videographer. We corresponded a few times to exchange ideas, locations, details etc and everything was always very simple and easy. Day of the wedding, Fen worked closely with our photographer and together they coordinated our First Look photo shoot, which they both captured beautifully. Fen left early to set up at the church and tactfully set up several cameras to capture all the important moments of our traditional Orthodox ceremony. She was very respectful of the priest and the church customs. At the reception, she was EVERYWHERE. Slipping in and out of dance circles, capturing the different buffet lines, catching beautiful intimate moments between us and our guests, even getting right in the middle of our Greek dance circle. It was amazing! She was so sweet and generous with her time and efforts. Watching the footage back, she truly captured every special moment we could remember from that night and so many we didn’t even know were happening. Her style is simple, classic, and focused on the special personal moments. My husband and I are so grateful for Fen!

Hi I'm Danielle and I’m so excited you’re here! I freaking LOVE my job! I get to come into your life, envelop myself in the magic of your love, inspire sweet interactions and freeze those unbeatable moments in time. After 6 years doing happy dances and climbing over things to ‘get the shot’, I’ve only become steadily more obsessed with illustrating love, nailing the shot, and serving my couples in every way I can. If you seek classic images with a heap of genuine emotion and a dash of adventure, I already know we’ll be fast friends. Let’s grab a virtual coffee and hang!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who is flexible and easy to work with, who is an awesome person that genuinely cares about all of her couples, and who will give you amazing pictures of your day, I highly recommend booking Danielle Salerno! For me a photographer was my highest priority vendor for my wedding day and I did a lot of extensive research before choosing Danielle. Once I saw her work I just knew I needed her to capture my day. I had a ton of questions before I booked and Danielle was willing to meet with my husband and me in person and patiently answered all of them. When it came time to take our engagement pictures my husband and I chose Island Beach State Park. The area we wanted to use for pictures required us to pile into my husband’s car and drive about ten minutes on the beach. Danielle was more than willing to make it happen for us and we wound up with stunning pictures that we love. We were all set to have Danielle shoot our wedding in May when COVID hit. My husband and I decided to postpone our big wedding, originally to September 2020 and then again to September 2021. Danielle was extremely accommodating with helping us find a new date in both instances and made the process super simple and stress free for us. We also decided that we still wanted to have a small backyard ceremony on our original wedding date and we were so thankful to have Danielle there to capture the moment we became husband and wife. Danielle was very flexible throughout the whole process, even when we wound up changing the timeline for the ceremony two days beforehand and when we wound up running behind the day of. We now have incredible pictures that we will cherish forever and we already can’t wait to have Danielle capture our big wedding next year! Book Danielle and I promise you will not be disappointed :)

Five Pines Photography

Little Egg Harbor, NJ
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,400

As a southern New Jersey wedding and engagement photographer, I specialize in documenting personal moments between you + your loved one while capturing all of the true, raw emotions during our session. Building a genuine, honest connection with you and all of my clients is something I strive for constantly. It's not just about taking pictures, but rather the experience that makes the photos magical. I want to exceed your highest expectations of telling your love story and create something you'll never stop reminiscing on.

After moving into our first home, my boyfriend and I wanted a way to bring our white walls to life. The two of us are usually never caught behind the camera lens, but after this experience I would choose Ashley from Five Pines time and time again to capture life’s most important moments. Ashley puts thought into every detail: from the location to the time of day to ensure the best quality pictures. She is kind and genuine and carries on casual conversation while snapping away to produce the perfect candid and effortless shots. I especially liked how she kept us moving around a majority of the session which at times made me forget we were even getting our picture taken. Ashley is professional, accommodating and timely. She followed up with us multiple times before our session about location and time, ensured she checked the weather and was highly accommodating. Although not initially part of the plan, she allowed us last minute to bring our dog which proved to be tricky in the moment, but she welcomed and worked with him with ease and smile. I also couldn’t believe the quick turn around time from the night we took our pictures to when she edited and sent them out. I can’t thank Ashley enough for capturing one of the most exciting and memory filled years of our relationship. If you are in need of remembering and capturing the moment, Ashley will give you the quality and experience you’re looking for!

Presley Planning 

4.8

Eatontown, NJ
  • Planner
  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $2,500

I'm Victoria, Owner + Lead Planner at Presley Planning with four years experience in the wedding industry and seven years in beauty marketing. My unique background is where I became the detail-oriented and creative professional that I am today (& weddings are ALL about the details!). My wedding experience includes traditional and non-traditional venues, large outdoor tented weddings and bespoke intimate ceremonies. I customize each package to my clients’ needs and make sure you're enjoying the process along the way! The only thing I love more than my husband + two pups (George + Henry), is making my clients' dream wedding vision come to life!

Victoria, Danielle and Kyle can solve and will solve absolutely anything that comes up on the big day and all the days leading up. I was a bride on a budget so was unsure if I "needed" a planner. Let me tell you, you do, and you freaking deserve it. No matter how much you plan you WILL need her. Every question, she has the answer and the 4 weeks leading up to your wedding are insane, so the fact that she coordinated all the communication with vendors legit saved my job. Day of, she and her squad showed up with a legit Mary Poppins bag of anything you would need day of. From safety pins to foot numbing spray to q tips. Because all of the reviews of planners on this site are glowing and positive, which makes it hard to choose, let me list out what she did for me as she was actually a super woman planner. 1. On my way to the church I realized I didn't have my veil. I gave her a call, she picked up on the first ring and didn't even bother to ask me where it was all she said was "no problem"! She sped back to venue and retrieved it and made it back to the church right on time. 2. After a sunshine filled week nothing short of an actual cyclone descended on my wedding day. I was determined to make my boardwalk pics happen (despite that legit never being possible). As I looked at my frigid bridesmaids I couldn't hold it in and the full sob occurred. We relocated into the venue and I was shocked to find my venue 100% set up 2 hours early and it looked absolutely stunning. Victoria had foreseen this inevitability and saved my day. 3. Oh and about the full sob, she was there with a large glass of Chardonnay, the perfect shade of Dior lip gloss and a beauty blender to patch me back together after. 4. The entire day went on exactly as planned per the timeline bc she was there! Ladies, your not going to be wearing your Apple Watch on your wedding day and you are going to be so emotional you don't deserve to be thinking about what's next. 5. We forgot my MIL favorite bottle of wine at my dads house, Danielle zoomed to his house, got in using a hidden key, retrieved it and showed up and handed it to me drenched from the rain. 6. After my wedding day when I felt guilty for having social anxiety the day of she was so supportive and honest in telling me all my feelings were 100% normal and don't trust everything you see on instagram (many brides are unprepared for 300 eyes on them). Last thing, unlike some NJ planners that only do weddings over 100k, she isn't like that AT ALL. The best planners can work with any budget, and Victoria is actually THE BEST.

I am a passionate, caring, and creative wedding photographer based in New Jersey. I’m a trendsetter, an adventurer, and a coffee lover! My goal is to give my clients the best experience and that starts by treating you like friends and not just another contract. I am fun, sensitive, professional, and most of all, reliable, so that you never need to have any concerns when it comes time to capture those perfect pictures of your most cherished moments.

Tom and Neil were truly exceptional! Tom was a great fit for us from start to finish. We knew from our first Zoom meeting that he was the photographer for us, considering how personable and talented he is. Next was our engagement session at the beach and that was a preview to how exceptional our wedding photos would be. Tom and Neil made for a fun experience and did not even make it feel like we were taking photos throughout the day— efficient! They were there to capture every moment and the turnaround time for previews was great and the photos have me obsessed! Not to mention, Tom and Neil fit right in with our bridal party, where they were on the dance floor with us getting all the fun shots, without interfering with the vibe, but adding to the vibes instead! 12/10 would recommend !!!!

Hello! My name is Jeff Bien Aime I am the Founder and Lead Videographer of Flare Hill Productions. I fell in love with Wedding Filmmaking back in 2018 when I Filmed my 1st, Wedding. I remember feeling so excited but yet so nervous. After it was all I over and I delivered the Wedding Film to my client. They ended up loving it and recommending me to my next couple. Since then, I've dedicated myself and this company to creating and capturing timeless moments of our couple's special day. I realized that there's something magical about capturing the love and emotions of two people in a way that can be relived over and over again. ​

Awarded Best of Zola
I'm a photographer and I don't bundle video, so I make referrals. Flare Hill Productions is at the top of my preferred vendors list. I've worked side by side with Jeff on many occasions and know the quality of Jeff's work from another creative's perspective. I'm also fairly familiar with his packages. Jeff makes a full length video of the ceremony and speeches using multiple camera angles as well as a highlight video. He calls this "RAW footage". (Keep that term in mind). So if you are interested in full length videos for ceremony and speeches I think he is worth a serious look. Many other videographer packages say "RAW footage", but this is often meant as all the unedited short (a few seconds or minute long) video clips that the videographer used to create a highlight video. Not Jeff! Ask to see one of his full ceremony and/or toast and speeches videos. They are very cinematic. He also does bloopers reels and best wishes which I can't tell you how many couples have really enjoyed these outtakes and personal messages to the couple. (Just take a moment to watch a few of his viral videos on social media! Jeff is also amazing at live streaming if you have friends and relatives that would like to watch the wedding live. I don't know any other videographer that creates as much value for his clients! If you're having a larger wedding of 150 or more guests, I would recommend getting two videographers with Jeff, although he works well alone too. To top it off, Jeff is a really cool human being! Jeff will not disappoint! There are not enough stars to properly rate him!!

Let our family take care of everything — from the tables and chairs to the music and wedding cake, our professional in-house services can handle it all so you don't have to worry about dealing with other vendors. All you have to do is say “I do.” Unlike other venues where the food comes second, Porta has garnered The New York Times highest rating for our fresh take on Italian cuisine. And you know you’re going to want the best pizza and dance party at the end of the night. Keep it casual — let your wedding be an authentic expression of who you are. Our private spaces strike the perfect balance between informal and beautiful so you’ll feel right at home.

We recently got hitched (4.6.24) and had our rehearsal dinner at Porta. It was phenomenal!! We ended up using the private/ side room (I think it's called the Monk Room) and it was perfect for our group of 20. The entire vibe was so cute and the waitresses/bartender were so accommodating and on top of everything. Everyone left with a full belly and just excited for the next day. We still have people bring up how great the food was. Kudos to Chandler who helped organize everything. We couldn't thank the Porta team enough.

Hi I’m Kristina. I’m a wife, toddler mama, and a photographer. I’ve always had a love for photography but really took the plunge when my children came into this world. I took the time to learn the in and outs of photography while adding my own flair. I wanted nothing more then to document every second of their lives without missing a single moment. Before I knew it I started to grow a following of others wanting me to document their precious moments as well. Soon after my dreams became a reality. Capturing candid moments are my absolute favorite and you’ll always find me clicking away when you’d least expect it.

Very professional and easy to work with. Beautiful quality work. Overall wonderful experience with Kristina Marie Photography.

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

I never dreamed of being a wedding photographer. I thought it was all the same, you show up to a venue, photograph different couples in the same poses every weekend and after is all said and done never see them again. However one day while I was taking photographs of people I loved and cared about it clicked! I could photograph couples who I truly got along with, who just want to have a great time on their wedding day. Couples who want to be themselves. Couples who I could consider friends, not clients. I’ve built my business on this premise and enjoy it every single day.

Lily's style truly tells more of a story than traditional wedding images - you can watch the whole day unfold through them, while still capturing the ones you want to send to your relatives for the holidays. It was her style of photography that has us hooked and once we connected we immediately realized this would be an incredible partnership. She coordinated with us the weeks leading up to the wedding and arrived day-of, immediately taking charge with the most calming presence, keeping everyone at ease. She captured every moment - some I didn't even realize would have photographed beautifully. Because of her, I now have the most heartwarming image of me with my grandmother, smiling at each other - it was a split second from the day and the whole moment tells its own story. When it came time for the family photos, she took control - calling out who was up next, how and where to stand, when to take a deep breath to relax the shoulders - you name it. She was so on top of it that we simply just enjoyed the day. We also used her photobooth and had her create our wedding album -- two services we are forever happy we decided on. The Sparklebooth images are SO fun and our album is absolute perfection. She assembled the entire thing, sent a digital copy for review, and then her schedule allowed her to hand-deliver the final version -- which we are still gushing over a year later. Her personality is electrifying and we can't wait to hire her for more life events whether it's a future family shoot, pet adoption, new home, a Tuesday -- anything. You'd be lucky to have her shoot your special day.

Operating out of Atlantic City, NJ, Gray Mustache Studios is a videography company that specializes in producing high-quality cinematic experiences for their clients. I pride myself in my wedding and special events coverage, where I take blissful moments and immortalize them in high-definition films. Couples looking for organic yet well-versed video services can find something special at this company.

We had such an amazing experience working with Gray Mustache Studios! Ryan was professional, organized, and prepared for everything the day of our wedding. Even before the wedding day, Ryan reached out to our photographer to introduce himself, since they would be working closely together on the day of the wedding. Between getting ready in the hotel rooms, to the first look and bridal party pictures, Ryan worked seamlessly with our photographer to get all the shots he needed while also allowing the photographer the space he needed as well. He knew exactly where to be (and when) to capture so many amazing moments of one of the best days of our lives. Even during our reception, I would look around and see Ryan getting footage of our guests enjoying themselves on the dance floor and capturing candid moments and it was amazing to know that we will be able to relive our night over and over again! So quickly after our wedding, we already had a social media highlight reel which was the best way to keep the wedding bliss vibes flowing! When we received the final video, tears of happiness were shed while rewatching our perfect day and it was amazing getting to see some moments that we even missed ourselves from the day but Ryan captured for us forever! Thank You Gray Mustache Studios!

We pledge to ensure that our commitment to inclusivity and diversity is a priority in all that we do, as we believe all forms of love deserve to be celebrated.

When my husband and I were looking for wedding venues, we were very specify on what we wanted. We really wanted something outdoors for the ceremony and a beautiful reception hall that did not give off that "Ballroom" look. We hated chandeliers and let me tell you, it was difficult to find a venue in NJ without a chandelier. When we first toured Blue Heron Pines, we instantly fell in love. We immediately knew that this was the spot we wanted to get married in. It was exactly what we wanted but the only hesitation we had was that our family lived about an hour away from it. After going back an forth about it, we decided to book it and that was the best decision we have ever made. It turns out that the people that truly love you will make that trip for you because everyone on our guest list came to our wedding! All the employees at Blue Heron were extremely helpful and super nice. Sarah and Tara are amazing at keeping the bride calm throughout the whole process, from booking the venue, down to the day after the wedding. Our wedding day was perfect, thanks to Blue Heron Pines and their amazing staff. I HIGHLY recommend having your wedding at Blue Heron. They will definitely not disappoint!

We could not be more grateful to have had McLoone's Pierhouse as our wedding venue! My husband and I agree its the best wedding decision we made. Rachel, our wedding coordinator, is such a pro. She anticipated every possible issue before they arose. She has such a calming presence which was much needed. We were worried about weather for our wedding as we had originally planned to have a beach ceremony. It rained on our wedding, but it did not matter, because even inside the Atlantic Room, the view was breathtaking. McLoone's was so efficient in setting up for the ceremony and breaking down the chairs afterwards. Three weeks out now from our wedding and guests are saying McLoone's Pierhouse had the best food and service they've ever had at a wedding! All the staff were polite, professional and cheery, singing along to the songs. Nelson, our Maitre-d, was so fun and easy going. McLoone's exceeded every expectation we had. If you are looking to have a beach wedding, look no further. McLoone's Pierhouse is incredible in every way. Thank you McLoone's!!!!!

I am super down to earth, pretty dang fun, and super creative. When I get clients who trust me 120%, their galleries are beyond EPIC. At the end of the day, I'm just a girl who fell in love with photography! I also enjoy museums, and find inspiration in architecture, high end fashion magazines and underground art.

To say I love my photographer would be an understatement. Our special day was thrown together in 6 weeks, but you couldn’t tell by looking at our pictures. Lauren took the time to speak with me about the moments that were most important to me, and why. After explaining to her that my father had cancer and his diagnosis was a big part of our rush, she made it her mission to capture every smile every tear every dance and every look my husband and I shared, and my father shared with everyone in attendance, especially me. She set up the first look between my husband son and I, she understood my vision and my need to be different, her artistic eye and attention to detail turned a broken down roadside stand into the perfect fall/Halloween backdrop for our first look. When it came time for my father to see me, before our guest, she set him up, back turned and captured every smile, and every tear he and shared in that moment. She created memories for myself, my husband and our family, and froze them in time with pictures that I will always treasure, and I couldn’t be happier and anymore grateful for how much love and dedication she poured into making sure our special day and every moment of it was captured

I started in photography much as everyone else did. What was once a hobby in 2002 quickly became a passion. I started out with a 35mm film set up and would hang out in the city capturing candid moments of people going about their day to day lives. For me, it was like stepping outside the world around me and documenting it like looking through a window into a world I was no longer part of. In 2008, when I myself got married, I realized that a wedding day is one of the most emotional moments for a couple. Not only for them but for the families involved as well! It was Oct. 31st, 2008 when I shot my first wedding. I haven't looked back since.

My sister got married about a year ago and used Inspire me imagery, we had such a great experience it was a no brainer when I was planning my wedding! Lauren and her crew could not have been anymore amazing! I felt completely comfortable with her and took her lead on everything, the result were some pretty amazing photos we’ll be able to cherish forever! Shout out to Mediha and Jyoti for being a great addition to team! All smiles and there to lend a helping hand wherever needed The day started out a little shaky as most wedding days do(our wedding party was late to the venue) but once we got going we had the best time! Everyone was relaxed and having a great time, this crew captured some truly amazing and memorable moments! We’re struggling on which photos to hang up there’s so many good ones!

We strive to provide unparalleled service at our meticulously maintained first-class facility. The Edgewater Beach and Cabana Club Team is dedicated to providing an unparalleled level of service to each member and guest of our Club.

We got married at Edgewater in October 2023 and it was truly a dream. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and very reasonably priced. The staff is phenomenal! Christina and Sal were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, professional, and put our minds at ease. I can easily say they were the reason we were stress free. Emily and Alanna made sure we were their number one priority that day. They were constantly checking in on us, giving us whatever we needed. They knew what we needed/wanted before we even did. Our parents raved about the staff checking on them as well. Every little detail was perfect because of the staff. The food was so delicious, thanks to chef Jay. Every single one of our guests came up to us to rave about the beauty of the venue, the food, the staff, and the bartenders. The bartenders were awesome and quickly learned everyone’s order, having the drinks ready for them when they got to the bar. It was the best day of our lives and we couldn’t have picked a better venue with a better staff, because there simply isn’t one. Thank you Edgewater for being the perfect beach venue!!

I believe experiences outweigh possessions. I have a slight obsession with making my dog pose on random objects, just so I can upload the photo to Instagram. I wish to one day make out in a hot summer rainstorm. I collect nearly empty perfume & lotion bottles that I will never finish. Their smells bring back so many good memories. I believe the relationships that inspire you the most should be the ones held closest to your heart.

We have worked on several weddings together. Love seeing Jenelle’s beautiful images

I hired Wanderlust Wedding Co for my wedding on 11/11/23. It was me (bride) and 4 others that got their hair done. Meghan B was incredible to work with. She showed up right on time, with such a warm, welcoming, and fun energy for the day. She was so much fun to be around and did an INCREDIBLE job. I've had my hair done professionally by others before and by the end of the day my curls have fallen and become flat. My hair lasted from the morning through our 2 am after party and looked FLAWLESS the entire day. Thank you for sharing your magic with me, Meghan! I felt so beautiful all day and my hair stayed in place through all the dancing, hugging, laughing, and happy tears.

Forked River, NJ
  • Florist
  • Starts at $1,000

hi. I’m Kristine, and I’m addicted to flowers. It all started in 2004, I walked into the neighborhood florist looking for a receptionist job completely unaware that two decades later, I would still be immersed in the world of flowers. My love for creating and styling beautifully unique florals stems from my background in fine art and graphic design. Flowers embody nature's art and are my favorite medium for unleashing my creativity! As a boutique, we limit the number of events we undertake each year. Our goal is to deliver unparalleled excellence and personalized floral arrangements for your special occasion.

Addiction Floral is everything you want a florist to be - involved, knowledgeable, friendly, and just as excited about your big day as you. She wants everything to be exactly as you envision, and makes the most perfect recommendations as well. I highly recommend Addiction Floral for your wedding!

Shore Catering

Brick, NJ
  • Caterer

5-Star Full-Service Catering from casual to elegant for all occasions since 1988. We offer packages for all occasions such as wedding receptions, lobster clambakes, bbq picnics, beach parties, showers, anniversaries, and so much more. Our team will assist you from start to finish, planning your menu, coordinating rentals, linen colors, floorplans, timelines, vendor referrals, private tastings and so much more. We bring our catering services to all corners of New Jersey and will also assist you in trying to find the perfect venue to suit your event's needs. Shore Catering can help make your event a memorable occasion.

When we tasted the food we knew that our guests would be happy with our selection of shore catering (and we were right! We recieved many compliments on the dinner and hors d'oeuvres). What we DIDN'T realize is that we were receiving more than just a catering service- we were receiving what felt like a warm welcome into a family business that took some of the stress out of the wedding planning process! Shore was the only caterer we encountered that was willing to work within our budget, and individually tailor a package to meet our needs, allowing us to feel comfortable financially without feeling like we were sacrificing ANY of the quality and elegance that we wanted for our wedding! Moreover, on the day of our wedding, summer took care of us as though we were her oldest friends, meeting us with so much genuine warmth and a contagious smile. She made sure we were able to actually eat and drink (which so many of our friends told us would be difficult to do at our wedding!) and kept the vibe HIGH even in spite of pouring rain and floods on the day of the event! We wish we could get married again and again and we would hire Shore Catering every single time!! I HIGHLY recommend Shore Catering to any bride and groom who want all of the quality with none of the stress!

The Barn on South Holland

Holmdel, NJ
  • Venue
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

The Barn on South Holland is a brand new event space in picturesque Holmdel, New Jersey. The newly renovated barn on 9 acres is the perfect setting for your upcoming special occasion. While there is no doubt that planning an event in these times can be different and challenging, event venues like ours offer the ability to celebrate and be as safe as possible. Many people have opted to hold smaller more intimate gatherings which can make planning a little easier and less stressful. The Barn on South Holland is a banquet facility that offers indoor and outdoor accommodations perfect for both small and large events.

Rachael and her team were absolutely amazing for our wedding whenever I had a question about the venue I knew I would get a very quick response from Rachael days leading up to the wedding. We kept our eye out on the forecast, hoping to have the ceremony outside in the garden however, with the rain we had to have it inside, but it was still absolutely perfect, they were able to get it, so that way you didn’t see everything underneath the tent during the ceremony and most of the time you didn’t even know they were there.

Asbury Park, NJ
  • Florist

I have been in the creative floral industry for more than 30 years. Left my corporate job to play and create and I have never looked back. I have designed and created florals for weddings and events up and down the eastern seaboard, a small town boy never strays too far. My small company also offers Planning and Coordination packages and I have great relationships among many vendors and venues. If your needs extend beyond beautiful florals, I am absolutely sure I have the person for you.

I loved how Peter was able to take what I sent him over email into exactly what I wanted. My centerpieces and bouquets were all white flowers with some greenery. Peter came up with different white flowers like roses and calla lilies to make beautiful arrangements. I never would have been able to create floral arrangements on my own, so I’m very happy that I went with his company for my big day.

  • Band or Ensemble

enjoy! has been providing live music for all styles of events for close to 20 years along the Jersey Shore. The band has performed over 300 weddings in it's tenure and has carved out a unique niche in providing powerful performances for the live music lover.

We first saw Enjoy! playing a show at one of our favorite local bars the summer before our wedding and after a few songs, we knew they would be our perfect wedding band. Not only are all of the members extremely talented, but they played an awesome combination of songs that we love dearly from artists like Phish, Jimi Hendrix & Talking Heads. Once we met John and the rest of the band, we knew their personalities meshed so well with ours and it was the perfect match. They were extremely easy to work with when we planned out our song list and gave us great recommendations. When it came to the actual wedding day we were blown away! Not only did they do an awesome job on the songs we requested, they added some more that they felt would keep the party going. We still get comments on how awesome our band was to this day. We could not have picked a better group of guys and we highly recommend them to anyone who wants their music to make their wedding! And added bonus: they are great guys - a ton of fun! Any time we get the chance, we go and see their shows. Thank you guys!!!! You are the best.

The photographs I create tell the full story of your unique wedding day and capture all of the anticipation, laughter, emotion, joy, and excitement which comes along with it. I want you to relive your day from getting ready, to the ceremony, and throughout the reception with every moment in between. My style is the perfect balance of photo-journalistic, candid, and posed photography to create beautiful images while still always allowing you to enjoy your wedding to its fullest. I offer a wide variety of packages that tailored to fit your day and always personally am available to discuss everything on your mind no matter how big or small.

I am completely overwhelmed with tears of JOY in my eyes, and I’m only at the ceremony!!! Jeff isn’t home yet, but I cannot wait to share. Still have lots to go through, and I’m already COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY. I wish you were here right now so I could hug you. THANK YOU I feel like I have started to write this review five times but cannot figure out where to begin– I had spent hours and hours researching photographers, and we are SO grateful we found William. We would not change anything. Working with William and his assistant that day was so easy and wonderful. I was a bit anxious about the fact we hadn’t met in person prior to the day, though we had a few video calls, but when we met, I felt like I had met him. He is so easy to work with, so polite, so detail-oriented. The two arrived early, were utmost professionals, and everyone in the wedding party loved them. Even the detail of him clasping my shoes before taking a photo of them (this being before I had them on my feet of course), so they looked more put together, stood out to me. William is perceptive and went with the flow of the day so well. We got married in a Catholic church, and we never had to worry about where they were during the ceremony. Having them both, they were able to capture bride and groom at the same time, as well as the congregation. During the reception, they did such a great job of capturing not only the two of us, but everyone on the dance floor, as well as laughter and smiles at the tables. The photos came back to us in under three weeks– we couldn’t believe it, especially during September, a very busy wedding month. The results blew us away. Tears in our eyes as we relived the happy day and were overwhelmed with joy at the photos. Just incredible how he captured moments, reactions, the light–in both daytime and nighttime as well as in a dark church– I could go on and on!
