Starting at Long Island Beauty School in Hauppauge, then attending Make-Up Designory in Manhattan. After working in salons and freelance all over the NY Tri-state area, she now runs her own business, Palla Beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
I could not be happier with my experience with Palla Beauty. Nicole was so easy to work with from my first inquiry through the wedding. I wanted to embrace my natural curls for my wedding so it was important to me to find someone I could trust to handle curly hair. Nicole made me feel at ease (she has naturally curly hair) and at my trial I knew I made the right decision. She even emailed me ideas to help get closer to my hair vision in the time between my trial and wedding. She also specializes in natural glam which is exactly what I wanted- to look like myself, but enhanced. She brought Cassi for makeup and Nichole for hair for my mom, sisters, and niece, and they both killed it. It was misty/rainy all day and both my hair and makeup held up great. I got to reunite with Nicole at my sister’s wedding four months later :)

I cannot express how incredibly grateful I am for Trisha! When I first started planning my wedding for over 600 guests, I naively thought I could handle it all on my own. It didn’t take long for me to realize that this was a massive undertaking and that I needed help—fast! Thankfully, I stumbled upon Trisha on Thumbtack. After speaking with a few other coordinators, I felt an immediate connection with her. There was something about her warm demeanor, can-do attitude and genuine enthusiasm that assured me she was the perfect person to have by my side 3. From our very first meeting, Trisha was outstanding. She took the time to understand my vision, listened attentively to my ideas, and offered valuable insights that made everything seem doable. Her organizational skills were very impressive, and she expertly guided me through every step of the planning process. It was such a relief to have someone so knowledgeable and passionate in my corner. One of the many things that stood out to me about Trisha was her availability. She was incredibly easy to get in touch with and responded to my countless questions at all hours of the day. No matter how trivial my concerns seemed, she always made me feel heard and reassured. Her calm presence was exactly what I needed during those stressful moments, and she consistently went above and beyond to ensure I felt supported. Two weeks before the wedding, I had been having a hard time dealing with some life issues on top of the wedding stress. We had a few calls lined up with the vendors and I wasn’t able to take the calls because I wasn’t feeling well. I explained to Trisha what was going on and she took complete control and handled all the calls for me those few days. I can’t tell you how much I appreciated that moment. On the wedding day itself, Trisha worked tirelessly behind the scenes, coordinating everything flawlessly. She handled all the logistics with precision, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day without a single worry. Our guests were blown away by how smoothly everything ran with such a huge wedding, and I truly have Trisha and her team to thank for that. Trisha not only helped bring my dream wedding to life but also made the entire planning experience enjoyable and memorable. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better partner in this journey. If you’re looking for a wedding coordinator who is dedicated, professional, and truly invested in making your day special, look no further than Trisha. Thank you, Trisha, for everything you did to make our wedding day perfect! You’re amazing!!!

  • Florist
  • Serves Stony Brook, NY

Self-proclaimed plant nerds, we are two kick a** horticulturists who met in the public garden world and have carved a place for ourselves in the floral biz. Weddings are our jam. With the creative process at the heart of all we do, hands-on service is an understatement. From day one to day-of, we got you. Plan, design, deliver- cross them off the list. Oh... and we will oogle your invites, hug your families, and tear up when we deliver your blooms. We can’t help it. We are so grateful. Client focused and design driven. Your big day is our big day at nectar&bloom. Trust the process and we’re in!

When working on wedding planning, we knew right away that we wanted to use nectar& bloom for our florals. We wanted something fun, unique, and just not what you always see at most weddings in our area. Lisa and Ann Marie were amazing in their communication and breakdowns of what could work with our budget and venue space, and were very adaptable and helpful as changes came along the way! We had high expectations coming into our wedding day, but they were absolutely blown out of the park once we saw everything come to life! From my bridal bouquet to the AMAZING floral arch and centerpieces, we were absolutely thrilled with how bright, colorful, fun, and unique our florals were. Our guests are still raving about the flowers that we had, and I even sent out our flowers to be preserved so that I have this amazing piece of our day treasured forever. I would highly recommend using the n&b team for your wedding day; whether you are looking for something more traditional or going for something more unique and personalized, you are in great hands with Lisa and Ann Marie designing your dream day!!

We are boutique photographers that are for the clients and couples that value photography but also value being present in their day. Your wedding is not a day of photos, we come to take photos of your day. Every package is custom to each client as your experience with us is exclusive to you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Words cannot adequately describe how amazing, flawless, and special our experience was. From day one, Stephanie's professionalism, eye for detail, true love for photography, and desire to capture the essence of our love story was very clear. Although we are a bit further from Stephanie (eastern MA residents), she committed to coming to southern CT to meet us for our engagement shoot and then to central MA for our wedding. When we were surprised by a pop up thunderstorm right before our ceremony on the big day, Stephanie acted not just as our photographer but as a friend and helped us navigate the nerves and emotions of the change from outdoor to indoor ceremony. Her photos are exactly what we were looking for. When we view them, we are transported right back to that day, and every emotion, every hug, every sentimental moment is there for us to cherish. We HIGHLY recommend Stephanie and her beautiful photography and plan to work with her for many more years to come.

Menaza (M. O. Everlasting) was amazing for my wedding as my Day of Coordinator. My wedding was on the large size (220 people) and had a lot of moving parts. My husband is Malayali so we wanted to incorporate his traditions along with my catholic ones. So this involved MANY extra details including 3 outfit changes, choreographed dances, and complicated family photos in many locations. To pull this off I new I needed help the day of my wedding. Menaza took care of everything, I had complete trust in her, she handled everything so I could just enjoy my day. When my photobooth did not show up she HUNTED them down and got them there and set up in time. I am so glad we had her! I could not have done it without her!

We had an amazing experience with our wedding at the Essex Club. Jessica was our point person and was very communicative, our Maitre D (Rob) was phenomenal. Bridal assistant was equally as awesome. They accommodated us every step of the way. It rained on our day, and they made our ceremony happen indoors without a hiccup. Of course it's nearly impossible to have a 100% perfect day (obviously, you can't control rain), but we walked away 100% satisfied and would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a professional, elegant, and trustworthy venue.

Genie artistry was absolutely incredible for my wedding. We were a big group, 12 for makeup and 10 for hair. They finished us early, had time for touch ups and nothing about it felt rushed. The morning moved seamlessly and smoothly. Jeanine and her team are one of the best. I also had an extremely diverse bridal party and they were able to accommodate that and work on everyone. They truly highlighted everyone’s best features and each girl came out stunning. With 3 make up artists and 2 hair stylists you may worry about consistency but each member of the team is so talented, you cannot even tell who did which girl. We started at about 9am and by 6pm for the ceremony everyone’s hair and makeup was perfectly in tact. This is a rare team who can deliver excellence on 12 different girls in a 5 hour period. I would seriously consider them for your wedding/bridal shower or event.

At 18, with no experience at all, Cristina attended her first “off the-guest-list” wedding, as a photographer’s assistant. Since then, she has been romantically and brazenly addicted to weddings! Following that passion with a balance of intention and fate as a private planner, Cristina graduated from the Stern School of Business in 2014 with an experienced eye for Event Design. In 2018, she established Planned by Cristina Capone, a luxury wedding & event design company. We value comfort. Our tone is always polite, helpful, and kind.

We don't even know where to begin when describing the impact Cristina had on pulling together our wedding day. Cristina is the dream wedding planner. She went above and beyond in every regard to make our day absolutely magical and joy-filled. She thought of everything we ever could have needed to pull our wedding day together. It was a joy to meet with her, and she always took the time through the whole process to listen to our hopes and vision for our day to make it all come to life. She kept us organized in the months and days leading up to the event and connected us with talented and easy to work with vendors. She created a Timeline for our wedding day and was our quarterback throughout the whole event. Ourselves and nobody around us had to worry about a single thing the whole day- we were completely taken care of by Cristina and her team. We were able to live in the moment and feel the joy of the day without an ounce of stress or worry. So many people at our wedding were incredibly complimentary of Cristina, including my dad, who even thanked her for her hard work in his toast. It is difficult for us to put into words the level of dedication, thoughtfulness, and compassion Cristina puts into each wedding she plans. Through months of planning and meetings, Cristina became a part of our family. We are forever grateful for the work Cristina does and for helping us create our dream wedding day!

My love of art and nature have led me to where i am today. I thrive when I can create and to be able to make a work of art with flowers, truly brings me a great joy. I want to bring your visions to reality through flowers on your special day or exciting events. Over my years of training in both traditional art and floral design I have developed my own personal style that is anything but traditional, but more so unique- just like all of us. Perla, which is French for pearl, was my Grandmothers name, is my middle name, and the name I give to my passion I hope to share with you.

Very easy to work with and great communication! Left the venue so nice and tidy after the event and was very punctual every step of the way

Alicia is incredibly talented. Having my makeup done in the past by other vendors I was never happy. I thought maybe my face just wasn’t the right fit to wear makeup. But then I met Alicia who can create any look to match your personal style and vision. Whether it's an everyday natural look, bridal or glam, Alicia works diligently to accommodate each clients request. She's amazing at what she does, extremely professional, knowledgeable, and overall a sweet and kind person that never disappoints.

Words can't describe how thankful I am to have had Jess and Jackie on my wedding day!!! Our day wouldn't have nearly gone as smoothly without them. They truly embraced the day and put all their energy into knowing inside and out our timeline, every detail, our vendors and our bridal party. I (the bride) was able to go about my entire day without having to worry about a single thing because they were taking the lead and handling it all. With a big bridal party and family, they ensured our most important people were where they needed to be and that we got all the photo shots that I had specified on my extensive list. All my expectations for the day that I had talked with them the months prior to our wedding were met and exceeded. There were only a few small bumps to the day and they immediately diffused the situation and quickly resolved it, all while being so kind and professional. These two allowed me to be completely present on my day and blocked out all the noise for me and I can't thank them enough for that. I will forever be grateful for Jess and Jackie and I highly recommend you book them ASAP!!!

Samantha is awesome! I found her through Instagram and booked her to coordinate my wedding. We originally did not plan on hiring any type of Wedding Planner/Coordinator. My friend's was just going to help us out, but those plans ended up falling through. However, she referred me to Samantha to help with coordination and I cannot be more serious when I say it was the BEST REFERRAL EVER! Hiring Samantha was truly one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process. She was hired for month-of coordination and she went above and beyond our expectations. Everyone that was a part of our wedding party and family even noticed how amazing she was! What stood out to us the most was how diligent, organized, and thorough she was with every single detail and that truly made all the difference in comparison to other weddings I have been to. She was so helpful when dealing with vendors because this is not something we did on a regular basis. She made our special day all the more special by taking the stress out of it and just knowing how to handle everything. I plan on convincing every person that tells me they don't want a wedding planner to hire Samantha!”

My name is, yensy marquez Born in the Dominican Republic where I spent my early childhood before moving to the United States at the age of 5. I have always had love for the arts and music. I spent my teenage years drawing cartoons and Japanase manga. I discovered my love for photography during my late teenage years when I got my hands on my first cellphone with a camera. I was always the go to picture person during family events and gatherings. Though they were admittedly average at the time, everyone loved them and always encouraged me to get a real camera. I finally saved up for one and never looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
Yensy was amazing! He offered us an engagement session where we met and he took great shots. He even included my mom in some of the photos, which was a nice surprise. He was prompt to our wedding day events and he took photos exactly how I asked. He provided a small sample of photos within 24 hours of our ceremony and we loved them all. And his pricing was simple, clear and affordable. I would definitely book Yensy again for future special celebrations. Thank you, Yensy!
