My name is Stacey, I have been in the hair industry for over 20 years and having been doing bridal hair for about 15 years. Four years ago I left the salon I was working at and opened a private studio suite at Sola Salons located in Holmdel.

  • Serves Toms River, NJ

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
My husband and I chose videography at the last moment and we are so happy that we did. Jeffs response time was so quick before, during and after our wedding which was amazing when you need answers and feedback quickly. Jeff worked completely around our schedule and didn’t make us feel like our day was a “show” rather that he was there to document our day. He got all of the sentimental moments as well as the funny ones. He worked hard with family to recruit people to submit their messages. His assistant Christine was also very personable and did an amazing job always being right there but not intrusive. I am grateful that we chose Jeff and his team to document our day.

Working with Ashley made the night amazing and so much fun! We were hired with our food truck to serve during an after party for a wedding. Ashley stayed for the duration of the night, capturing photos of the guests and the couple enjoying each other's company before heading back home after their exciting day. After speaking with Ashley, she was extremely pleasant, did not fail to put a smile on everyone's faces, and her warm, bubbly personality put everyone at ease during what could be a very stressful day for some. The bride and groom spoke highly of her and were excited to see their photos that she was able to capture throughout their big day! We highly recommend Ashley from Five Pines Photography for anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

Presley Planning 

4.8

  • Planner
  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Toms River, NJ

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

The drinks were delicious and the décor fit our theme perfectly. I had a vision and they truly brought it to life working with me, as the bride every step of the way. We wanted to have an after party to be able to celebrate with more friends and they hands down made it the best, allowing us to take over the entire venue.

This is what dreams are made of. When I was a little girl, I had big dreams about what my future wedding would look like. As I got older and realized how much everything costs, I started to think my dream wedding would stay just that—a dream. But one thing never changed: I always wanted to get married in a little white chapel and walk down the aisle to the sound of a violin. Petya made that dream come true. From the moment I first reached out to her, we instantly connected. I knew, without a doubt, that no matter where we ended up getting married, she had to be a part of it. I’d listen to her music on YouTube and just melt. She’s cheerful yet calming, incredibly talented, and truly helped put me at ease throughout the process. The morning of my wedding was stressful, but Petya texted me with encouragement, lifting my spirits and getting me excited for the day ahead. Guests even told me how beautiful the atmosphere was as they waited for my arrival—all because of the ambiance she created through her music. As the church doors opened and I saw my soon-to-be husband standing at the altar, the sound of Petya’s violin made it feel like I was walking into a dream. I couldn’t see anyone else—it was as if her melody was wrapping around just the two of us. It might sound dramatic, but we had a very Christian ceremony, and we asked her to play worship music. It made the moment feel sacred, like God’s presence was truly among us. At the end of the ceremony, I ran up to her and couldn’t help but gush about how incredible she was. She gave us our fairytale moment.

I am a published photographer who lives within minutes of the beautiful Jersey Shore. When I'm not behind the camera you can find me chasing my two kids around while chugging my fav drink ever - the Pink Drink from Starbucks (if you’ve never had one, you’re missing out!). I love having fun during sessions and always do my best to make you comfortable all while providing a one of a kind experience! I always tell my clients - It’s okay to feel awkward at the beginning of a session, that’s NORMAL. My job is to help you relax and enjoy the experience. I promise by the end of the day you won’t even remember there’s a camera there ;)

Rebecca isn't kidding when she calls herself the ultimate hype-woman! From engagement shoot to wedding day, she made us feel confident and comfortable. She was always down for our specific shot requests and served as a source of comfort when herding family members started to case some stress. Not only was Rebecca (and her second shooter) a pleasure to work with, her work is stunning! (I literally cried when seeing the pictures she took at our wedding.)

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.

Hi Kristina, We just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your work on Saturday! We loved having you a part of our day and we had so many positive comments from people saying how great they thought you were! Thank you for making everyone feel so at ease and special. I have no doubt you got some amazing pics which we can’t wait to see. We loved the sneak peek!! Juan & Kelly Married June 25th 2022

She was with us every step of the way, ensuring everything went flawlessly. I can't imagine having anyone else photograph our wedding, and I cannot recommend her enough. We've already received some of our photos back (after only 2 weeks!) and I cannot WAIT to see the rest when the full gallery is ready.

Offering professional makeup application for those looking to make a special occasion, even more memorable! I have always been one that revels in the moment my friends, family and clients look in the mirror and light up at their transformation.

It is always my greatest goal to give my clients confidence in themselves and to reassure them they are in great hands.

Kristin and her team were absolutely AMAZING to work with on my big day. They took the time to get to know my bridal party, asking us questions to really deliver exactly what we all wanted. They were friendly, on time, stuck to a tight schedule and were incredibly professional. My sister-in-law and best friend loved their makeup so much that they booked Honey Blossom Beauty the minute they got each engaged. HIGHLY recommend Honey Blossom Beauty!!

  • Not for you if you are looking for something nontraditional
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!
