Cause and The Effects 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $8,500
  • Serves Raritan, NJ

Based in Staten Island, New York, Cause and The Effects is an enthusiastic band comprised of young musical professionals ready to perform at your wedding. The band was founded in 2011 but the versatile members have been playing together and separately for more than two decades. You can choose between a seven-, eight-, or 10-piece band to perform at your reception, while smaller groups can perform during the ceremony and cocktail hour. Show-stopping music is performed with a variety of instruments such as horns, percussion, saxophones, flute, and piano. They are based in Staten Island but are willing to travel to destination weddings.

If you’re considering a live band for your wedding reception, look no further than Cause and the Effects. We hired the full 10-piece band to play at our wedding reception on 9/23/23, and that was undoubtedly one of the best decisions we made. From our initial calls all the way through the actual event, the band set themselves apart and proved to be far more than a standard event vendor. They were completely invested in giving us the best experience possible. Vin and Anthony took the time to get to know us, our interests, and how we wanted the event to flow, and used all of that information to put together an amazing set. Our reception had a few unique twists, and the band took each of our requests in stride with enthusiasm and professionalism. Leading up to our reception, Vin communicated with some of our other vendors to make sure any intersecting elements (for example, audio/video and lighting) went smoothly. And day-of, the full band’s talent and energy blew us away. Once the party started, it did not stop for a single second. We, the majority of our guests–and eventually, some of the band members & instruments themselves!--were going wild on the dance floor the entire night. Even the non-dancers in the crowd were sitting and enjoying the music with huge smiles on their faces. Throughout the event, many people pulled us aside so they could tell us how much they were loving the music…and in speaking to guests afterward, the first thing every single person mentioned was how incredible the band was. And talk about a personal playlist–not only did they create a completely unique rendition of our first dance song (Starlight by Muse) to match our dance choreography, but they also delivered a huge surprise. In our consultations, we’d mentioned how important the band Linkin Park is to us…so Cause and the Effects learned “In the End” just for us, and delivered a phenomenal performance as one of the closing songs of the night. It was so meaningful, and it’s something we’ll never forget. Please don’t hesitate to make Cause and the Effects one of the first vendors you book for your event. "Five stars" is not a high enough rating!

Georgia Panagi Videography 

5.0

  • Videographer
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Raritan, NJ

Meeting at SUNY Purchase College, pursuing a degree in Cinema Studies and Screenwriting, Carmine met Georgia, a Photojournalist with currently over a decade of photography experience. The two of us shared similar interests and combined their expertise to establish Georgia Panagi Photography. Specializing (but not exclusively) in Wedding photography and cinematography, we strive to capture memories so that will be remembered forever.

Georgia did our elopement shoot October 2022 and we HAD to hire her again for our formal wedding this October, 2023. She has such an eye for detail, an attention to all of the important moments that you want captured - even if you didn’t think of it yourself! She was extremely dedicated, a pleasure to work with, and her photos speak for themselves! I had SO many positive comments on just the sneak peaks! Georgia helped us pose when necessary, but also got the most flattering, lovely candid shots. Extremely happy! Would recommend her to everyone I know! They got amazing drone footage of us running through the vineyards in our wedding dresses, worked with the DJ to make sure all the speeches were mic’d so everyone could be heard clearly on the video, and captured every single moment without us feeling like a camera was always in our faces. Amazing job!

Mariachi Hidalgo N.Y.C 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Raritan, NJ

Mariachi Hidalgo was founded in 2017 and is led by our Musical Director Hernan Hidalgo Treviño who is a first-generation musician within his family. At the age of 21, Hernan is New York City’s, as well as the East Coast’s, 1st ever “Youngest Musical Director of a Mariachi Band”. Hernan graduated from the CUNY of Hunter College as a Music and History major to better prepare himself for both the musical and culture of mariachi. Within the first 2 years, Mariachi Hidalgo has performed in some of New York's exclusive places. Hernan's main goal is to inspire and motivate other youths to continue this musical tradition of mariachi.

My name is Kiyoko Nakamura, my husband is Mexican American, and I am Japanese. We celebrated our 15-year Anniversary here in New York City on December 18th, 2021. (We are from California) I wanted to surprise my husband with a Mariachi Band (he loves Mariachi) that offered quality in service and performance. I have a M.M from Kyoto University for Music & Art, and I fully understand what I was looking for in a Mariachi band. I investigated each Mariachi band here in NYC, their quality as musicians, social media, reviews etc. Many mariachi bands stated, "they are the best" or "Number 1 in NEW YORK CITY", but I can assure you all from looking at their YouTube performances & social medias that they are NOT. A few did play back, had a CD recording of an actual PROFESSIONAL band in the background while these so called "Best in NYC" made it seem as if it was them performing, FALSE advertisement. Once I saw Mariachi Hidalgo NYC, directed person with a B.A in Music & History. (Having a degree in any accredited field is one way to ensure the person knows what they are offering.) I investigated everything about this ensemble before contacting. YouTube , Instagram, all their social medias in order to understand whom I was calling. After checking out everything, proper technique on their instruments and vocals, no play back, presentable, quality musicians. I knew this band was going to be AMAZING! From the moment I called to book them until the performance's date this is what I received. A very professional service to not just me but my husband and guests as well. Very detailed in terms of explaining the full booking process, punctual, proper technique on their instruments & voice, an amazing show that interacts with the crowd. This band had it all! Everyone loved it! Visual Aspect:/ Performance Technical playing, clean suits, well groomed, presentable. 100/100 If you are looking for a mediocre or an economical option or a group to just make noise regardless of how they sound. Then I would not recommend this band for your event. If, however, you are looking for a PROFESSIONAL band to make your special moments even more memorial. Then YES, I recommend this band too you, Mariachi Hidalgo NYC! You will not be disappointed. Overall: Quality, Punctual, Presentable, Professional, Show/Performance, Amazing service from start to finish. If we ever visit New York City again, we will definitely contract Mariachi Hidalgo again for all of our events. Best Regards, Kiyoko Nakamura Master's in Music, Kyoto University for Music & Art

Nancy Caroline Beauty 

5.0

  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 12
  • Serves Raritan, NJ

Nancy has a soft, feminine, romantic style. Her hair and makeup styles are timeless, classic, you but the best you looks. Nancy has over 20 years experience as a licensed hair and makeup artist. She's had an amazing career servicing celebrity clientele, traveling the globe to further her hairstyling and makeup knowledge, and now, owning a business that provides top-notch hair and makeup services to todays brides and bridal parties. Nancy's educational background in graphic design and photography contributes to her artistic abilities as a hair and makeup artist.

We would highly recommend Nancy Caroline Beauty for bridal beauty services. We had booked Nancy for a Philadelphia wedding, which, for us, is our of state. We had an aggressive timeline, and rather large bridal party (12 bridesmaids and 4 others). Unfortunately, an aggressive snowstorm hit our hometown (Baltimore) and Philadelphia, which added some wrenches to the wedding in general; 2 bridesmaids could not attend, and we could not rehearse or drop things off at the venue prior to the day of the wedding. This meant that when Nancy's team arrived, we had a LOT of chaos going on to wrangle all the ladies for their services and to accommodate for the last minute changes. However, Nancy and team were expeditious, professional, talented and very understanding of last minute changes. We even had one bridesmaid go right from hair in makeup back to Baltimore to pick up her children and return to Philadelphia. Nancy and team were accommodating and everyone looked amazing! I have received so many compliments on the hair she did for me. Everything was perfect and we definitely recommend booking with Nancy and team.

Tony Bizeta Photo LLC 
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,800
  • Serves Raritan, NJ

Why do I photograph weddings? I was told there was cake. Just playin’.. I do this because there is nothing more fulfilling than making an impact on a couple's lives; telling the story of their wedding and delivering it to them with my imagery. Being able to provide you with a story for you to look back 10 years from now and relive those moments as they happened is one of the biggest honors I can have. I achieve my storytelling by building a relationship with my couples and take note of what they value most. When I build that relationship, it lets our guards down which results in stunning and real moments that I capture for you.
