The end result was absolutely stunning - a classy, timeless design that also incorporated some trendy, modern elements that perfectly matched the vibe we were going for. We received so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful the florals were. Flower Phenom exceeded our expectations in every way, and we would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

  • Serves Ridgewood, NY

The photograph is a medium that is both respected and cherished by all. Whether you’re leafing through your family’s photo album or choosing an image to introduce yourself to the world, a photo has the ability to cement a memory and make a statement. My mission is to share everyone’s statements and memories through my visual storytelling.

Awarded Best of Zola
Shanté is magnificent. From the beginning, we connected well, stayed on the same page, and had great energy together. She was timely and considerate, which was perfect since we had the typical wedding day emergencies! She kept us calm when we showed up after expectations, and made the experience fun and joyful so that we could serve face for our special moments. She stayed on point through the entire experience, including weaving in a photo walk around some of my favorite places as we made our way back to the venue from the main photo location. I felt taken care of, supported, and most of all, seen by the person I trusted to have a vision of the day. I can’t be more enthusiastic and grateful about the experience Shanté gave me and my new husband. I never plan to do this again, but if I did, she would be at the top of the list of vendors to call! She and her assistant poured kindness into our day, and it was delightful to return the favor.

Loretta Rodriguez Co

  • Serves Ridgewood, NY

If I had a superpower, it would be celebrating people. I'm my friends' biggest cheerleader and I'll be yours too during this whole process! As a documentary wedding photographer, I focus more on being in the moment and letting you be YOU, by reminding you why you fell in love in the first place.

When you choose Loretta, you’re not just selecting a wedding photographer. You’re making a new friend. Loretta - and her husband Juan - have been such a blessing to us throughout the entire process. From our first zoom meeting where her genuine good & joyful spirit came through the screen, to turning an engagement photoshoot into a fun double date at our favorite pizza place. The person she is truly separates her from anyone else you’ll select for your big day, not to mention she has INCREDIBLE skills with the camera. Both the indoor & outdoor portions of our wedding day have their own specific look and we loved the way she portrayed our beach setting AND the dance floor moments in all her photos. OH ONE MORE THING - our reception ended at 11:30pm on a Sunday. She gave us a “sneak peek” of over 100 photos within 12 hours that we were able to share with all our friends & family the next day! Our wedding day/night was such a blur, yet we were able to relive it the next day in every moment that she captured on camera. If you want outstanding customer service, brilliant professional photography and a lifelong friend, Loretta Rodriguez is the way to go!

She played the two pieces we requested—which were worlds away in style—beautifully and was a joy to work with. She is responsible, friendly, and great at coordinating with other musicians.

Steven Brown Caterers

  • Caterer
  • Serves Ridgewood, NY

Serving the New York area since 1991, Steven Brown Caterers provides unmatched creative cuisine, professional service and exceptional value. Our individual approach means that our couples receive the personalized and dedicated touch they deserve for their big day! Our experienced team of event planners are extremely passionate about their work. Attentive and precise, they will make your vision, big, or small into a reality.

“In my position as the assistant to the Chairman & Founder of a Fortune 1000 company, Steven Brown Caterers is the only caterer we use. Over the years the entire company from the chefs to the wait staff, to the management have become so much more than co-workers. I count them all as friends. So, when I married Frank in 2013, there was no question about who would be coming to spoil me on that special day. The food has always been the best in the city, but food is different things to different people, so I was anxious to see if my guests enjoyed it as much as I always have. That question was answered when half of them left clutching their contact details in hand. The other half called or e-mailed later to ask me for their contact details. 😉 Of course, the food was not the only thing that went right. Everything. Went right. From the table and tabletop rentals to the wait staff doing their usual magic by making every single guest feel as if they were the only person at the party. I’m not exaggerating when I say they got as many compliments as the bride, and nothing made me happier. Peace of mind on your wedding day is a luxury not many have, but we had it and we owe that to Steven Brown Caterers.”

Hey there. When we shoot a wedding, we know what it feels like, firsthand. The only regret of our own wedding was that we didn't invest in a videographer ourselves. To be able to go back and watch the best day of your life unfold is paramount. That's where we come in.   Our signature films are a cinematic look at your day, from getting ready to the 'I do' moment, to partying it up all night long. It's a perfect length to share on social media with loved ones, near and far. We also offer documentary length, ceremony only, and custom packages as well. ​

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I were back and forth on whether or not we wanted a videographer for our wedding day but I'm so glad we decided on Kyle & Melissa to capture our special day!! From the first time we spoke with them, we knew they were the right fit. Not only were they so knowledgeable about their craft, but they were easy-going, and helped us to navigate what package was best for us and making sure they captured everything we wanted. The drone is an awesome edition and such a cool feature to add to a wedding video, especially if you are in love with your venue as much as we were with ours. It was also a special treat to have a husband and wife couple filming our day, as they were able to beautifully see and video both my husband and I's perspectives throughout the course of the day, from getting ready to the ceremony and reception. Kyle and Melissa were not pushy at all and allowed us to decide what we did and did not want captured, ie, cards read, vows, first look, etc. The video trailer and full video itself came out incredible and helped us relive every second of our Wedding Day. They even gave us some extra footage which was awesome. Two of my other friends have already hired them. They are reasonably price and awesome to work with. Do yourself a favor and work with K&M Weddings!

One of the best decisions I made for my wedding was booking Terrace On The Park! From our very first visit and up until our big day, they were super accommodating, responsive and very organized. We’re an international couple, that was looking for an affordable, large rooftop venue that could accommodate 140 guests. The TOTP team were thorough in explaining the contracts, allowed us as many venue visits as we wished and on the day of, provided white glove service! While it rained on our big day and plans needed to change, it was all done seamlessly. They provided a small buffet of fruit, salads, and drinks in the bridal suite while we waited for our pre-ceremony photoshoot to start and the guests to arrive. The food was amazing! We’re so glad we added in the sushi platter during the cocktail hour, the amuse bouche during dinner, (the lemon sorbet was delicious) and our signature cocktail (Lavender Gin Lemonade)! Our guests are still raving about how amazing the service, food, and drinks were. We even hired ND Cigars for our cocktail hour, which added a touch of class to our event. We brought our own DJ from home, but hired a few of their preferred vendors, ACM Event Group (equipment rental & MC) and Tino Photography, for which they were all a pleasure to work with! Just a few of the amazing staff we had the opportunity to work with at TOTP are: Ken Weintraub – Event Manager Nicole Barroca – Finalist Manager Jovanna Trapani – Operations Allison – Bridal Attendant PS... The morning after our wedding we met a couple staying at our hotel that also got married at Terrace On The Park, 41 years ago!!! I never thought I could feel even more secure about the decision to book them, but I did! They too raved about how good the venue was all those years ago!! BOOK THEM NOW! You won’t regret it!

Welcome to our vibrant floral design studio, where creativity blooms with an eco-friendly twist! We pride ourselves on crafting completely unique floral arrangements that are not only visually stunning but also kind to the planet. We can work with you to create a fun and unique design for every occasion.

When you spend months communicating through a phone and blindly trust your florist to see the vision through - and she absolutely does!! I cannot express how grateful I was to find Marigolds Florals!! We specifically wanted to support small businesses with a priority on minority/woman owned. Afterall, small businesses and creatives literally keep art, passion, and customer service alive in an economy where everything seems transactional. I am a very particular bride, and Anika never made me feel bad about it. Instead, she thoroughly answered questions, entertained my unique request, and went above the call of duty. We hopped on many calls, shared tons of photos, and the plans changed quite a bit over a span of months. She rocked and rolled the whole way through, and I will never forget patience AND ability to execute that Anika and her team exhibited. From a Philly girl to a NY girl, I am grateful.

A friend of mine recommended that I hire Aneta for my wedding makeup and I am SO glad that I did. Aneta is so incredibly talented and she made my wedding day makeup vision come to life - it was PERFECT, better than I could have imagined. My goal was “natural glam” – I wanted to feel glamourous but also still feel like myself (I don’t wear a lot of makeup day-to-day), and that’s exactly what Aneta did. Aneta also did my mother’s makeup for my wedding and my mom can’t stop talking about how fabulous she felt (and looked!). Aneta was thoughtful, responsive and caring in both the planning process and actual wedding day makeup application. I can’t say enough good things about her. I highly recommend Aneta!

Choosing Kristin as part of the live band for our wedding reception was one of the best vendor decisions my husband and I made. From the very beginning, Kristin was incredibly kind and easy to work with. She even learned 5 new songs for us! She learned songs for our first dance, father/daughter dance, mother/son dance, and even learned Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” for me, a huge Swiftie! Kristin performed a whole range of songs, from pop to rock to even some oldies that pleased my older relatives! Everyone at our wedding found a song to dance to by the end of the night. Our guests kept coming up to my husband and I just to say how much they loved the band, but notably, Kristin! Needless to say, Kristin absolutely rocked it and created some special moments that my husband and I will never forget! She came out into the crowd to dance and interact with my two young nieces (ages 4 and 2), who, in turn, instantly became part of the show.

Hi! I’m a New York-based photographer currently residing in Long Island City, New York. But it all began in Siberia, Russia where I was born and raised and was supposed to live happily ever after working in the financial department of an airline company. But after a few years I decided to make a big change and move to New York City, the city that conquered me with all of its happenings, grandeur and diversity.

I could not rave about Tatiana more! I didn't have a coordinator or planner, but Tatiana (with the help of my bridesmaids) kept the "getting ready" shots moving and managed to get all of the pictures of my dreams. She was so incredibly kind and by the end, she felt more like a guest who happened to have a camera. She was unobtrusive -- I never felt like I was being bombarded with wedding paparazzi -- and still didn't miss any moments. Her candid moments were probably my favorites, especially since it helped me remember a night that went so quickly! She also sent us a lovely memento box along with our flash drives of photos. I know they will be treasured along with all of her photographs that are already all over our walls 3

Colby Blount is an award winning fashion and wedding photographer. Born and raised in Georgia and now calls New York home. He loves merging a stylized vision with a photojournalist eye to help tell stories that feel real and authentic.

We recently hired Colby to shoot our tiny Covid-friendly Catholic ceremony and had an amazing experience! I cannot recommend him enough. Our ceremony took place in a historic Catholic church with restrictions on how close a photographer could get to the altar. Colby was very respectful of the space and still managed to get incredible photos of the ceremony. Our handful of guests commented on how non-intrusive he was while still managing to capture so many special moments. After the ceremony we went to a local park to capture photos of just myself and the groom and these photos blew us away. He was so easy to work with and made us feel very comfortable considering we are not naturals in front of the camera! The candid pictures look so natural and not forced. The variety of poses, backgrounds and settings he chose were great for getting many options of photos we love. I highly recommend hiring Colby for your wedding during and after this crazy pandemic. He wore a mask the entire time, was so calm and collected, and we had a blast spending our wedding day with him. He even let us stop to take pictures with our pet cat ! (LOL) Amazingly, our fully edited album of photos was ready less than a week later! We will always treasure these photos and this experience during the crazy times of 2020.

With 9+ years of experience in the music industry, I started as a classically trained pianist and composer before expanding my career into DJing, electronic music production, and beat-making. I DJ at venues across NYC, including EVOL, VShow, Nighthorse and Gossip8, playing techno, house, and hip-hop. I also customize music for private events like weddings, birthdays, and corporate openings.

I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing Xiranda’s DJ sets at multiple events, and she never fails to impress. Her performances are dynamic and versatile, perfectly suited to a wide range of settings.

TWA Hotel 

4.5

New York, NY
  • Venue
  • Up to 350 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $30,000

Fully restored to its original glory, the TWA Flight Center offers 200,000 square feet of flexible space including outdoor terraces. Original details — the Vulcain clock, sparkling white penny tile and plush Chili Pepper Red carpets — exude Jet Age glamour. Saarinen’s iconic Flight Tubes (made famous by the 2002 film Catch Me If You Can) lead to guestrooms and museum exhibits, as well as provide a premium photo opp. The nostalgic clacking sound of two authentic Solari split-flap boards — and the view of the 1958 Lockheed Constellation on the tarmac just outside — fully transport visitors back to the golden age of travel.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Handles all cleanup logistics
  • Provides catering services
  • Accommodates more than 200 guests

Venue considerations

  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists
  • No in-house lighting and sound packages available
  • Not for you if you are looking for something nontraditional
Our wedding turned out to be incredibly beautiful, thanks to a unique venue and execution by its staff. However, that perfect day was almost derailed by the unacceptable pressure campaign to change ceremony locations due to concerns over furniture getting wet. We wanted this review to capture our nearly 20 months of planning with the TWA Hotel. PLANNING PROS: -Variety of spaces -Responsiveness -Flexibility for storing supplies CONS: -No FAQ document -Frustrating room block system -Forgotten menu tasting notification -Lack of communication and contradictory info from the Paris Cafe for rehearsal dinner THE WEDDING PROS: -Organized and accommodating staff -The food, especially the pastrami station and red velvet cake for dessert CONS: -Wrong display with typo on Solaris board in the Sunken Lounge -Our tiered wedding cake wasn’t cut and served even tho there clearly wasn’t enough sheet cake to pass around -The weather “policy”: We were told that we could make a final decision on an outdoor ceremony up until the morning of our wedding, and our point of contact reassured us of this during our final walkthru 2 weeks out. Our contract also secured the Sunken Lounge as the backup option if we chose to move indoors. However, in the final days and hours before our wedding, we were pressured to move our ceremony indoors, despite nearly all weather reports showing clear skies for our 5-6pm ceremony and rain only after 9pm. Our point of contact started questioning our outdoor plans 4-5 days before the wedding, and even met with us multiple times - first in the lobby while we were dropping off supplies 2 days before our wedding, again when we were checking in the next day, and yet again when we were at the pool before our rehearsal dinner, where we had to brush off our guests in order to have a serious meeting. Each time, they told us we needed to make a "final call" now, not the morning-of as we had been told before. After listing their reasons to move the ceremony indoors (which included threatening to release the Sunken Lounge from our backup option, despite what our contract said), the point of contact mentioned that the head manager was concerned about the rain damaging the leather chairs, and then proposed a “solution” of having the ceremony outside, but not setting up any chairs so that our guests would stand for the entire ceremony. It was clear to us that the real reason why we were being pressured was that the manager didn’t want their leather chairs to get wet! We asserted that, unless we were explicitly told we couldn't have our ceremony outside, we would stick with the outdoor option. The morning of our wedding, our day-of coordinator informed us that the venue was insisting they now had a “50% chance of rain policy”, giving them the “right” to change ceremony locations. We immediately forwarded reports from 10 weather sites that all had a chance of rain between 5-7pm at 0-30%. We finally saw chairs being set up outside in the mid-afternoon, and when our ceremony got underway, the clouds parted ways and the sun started shining. CONCLUSION: The TWA Hotel is such a special place to celebrate your wedding! Before you sign the contract, however, understand that you’ll have to stay on top of the planning process, and in cases like ours, fight for what you envision. Make sure the contract spells out any and all promises — there were items that we made sure they honored as it was clear the hotel’s policies had changed since the signing.
