Alberto Media 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Union City, NJ

Out of all the various art mediums I believe photography is the most personal. There is a certain degree of trust that is bestowed upon the artist to truly capture a moment and allow it to transcend the test of time. I truly love my job. My work will tell your story. My passion is to highlight, document and capture that story artfully. My commitment is to deliver the highest quality images while not compromising the importance of your day, always mindful that this is your day and your moment. My work is colorful, textural, cinematic, and able to transform common ground places into works of art you will revisit, share, and look to forever.

There is truly nothing like selecting the perfect photographer for your engagement or wedding day. I myself and super passionate about art, design, photography and creative direction, so I knew I wanted to find a photographer that would allow me to be apart of the process in order to bring my ideas to life. Alberto and I had a few brainstorming calls where we went through my (many! Ha) mood boards, hopes, dreams and ideas for my engagement shoot in New York City. Having these calls together really solidified I made the right decision in vendor— he just fully understood where I wanted to take this shoot. I can be a tough client— I am very particular, a perfectionist if you will, and I also work in the creative industry myself. Alberto stepped up to the task gracefully and absolutely knocked it out of the park. My vision came to life from the lighting to the locations to the editing (not too much— you’ll never catch Alberto throwing a filter on you!). Lighting and editing were super key to me— there’s no one size fits all and Alberto truly finds a way to make each shoot (even photo) unique. I cannot speak more highly of Alberto and his art. His technique is Uber-personal and it really shows throughout your photos. He’ll make you feel at ease in front of the camera, and allow for your personalities (big or small!) to really shine. If you haven’t booked Alberto Media for your engagement and/or wedding, what are you waiting for?

Mushmouth plays every show like it's Madison Square Garden! Lead singer Bill's energy is off the charts - a mix of Bruce Springsteen, Mick, Jagger, James Brown and a sprinkle of David Byrne all rolled into one! The band, a group of longtime friends, pulls off note for note renditions of all the songs while also adding to the on-stage fun. The Mushmouth show consists of big hits, one hit wonders and lost nuggets from the 70's, 80's, 90's and beyond. From Glen Campbell to the FOO FIGHTERS, Duran Duran to Eric Church.

I cant thank Mushmouth enough for giving me the most memorable wedding I could ever imagine! The dance floor was packed the entire time they were playing and their energy is contagious. If you want your event to be a lively party that people will talk about for years, hire Mushmouth!!

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $250

A stable and fun act that has been serving the New Jersey/NY market for over 20 years. Very dependable, very responsive and helpful when asked for assistance or suggestions. We encourage our clients to come out and hear us live to decide for themselves. Much better than viewing a video and trusting it was all done live in one take.

Jim and the band are wonderful! He is so communicative and always answers in a timely manner. And the band is AMAZING! You can really tell that they love what they do. Our dance floor was packed all night. My brother had them at his wedding, I had them at mine, and my sister in law's sister is having them at her wedding too - says a lot! Can't wait to spend another night on the dance floor.

My husband and I recently had our wedding on May 18th 2023 at The Conservatory at the Sussex County Fairgrounds. Krave caterers was one of their preferred vendors. I went to a wedding here before and Krave was catering and remember how AMAZING cocktail hour and reception were! I was so excited to use them as our catering and events vendor. From the beginning Kate and everyone who worked at Krave were nothing but amazing. At first I was nervous to use so many vendors and upkeep communication with everyone but it was totally worth it. Kate was truly the sweetest and most professional person. It was so easy to communicate with her and any last minute changes I needed she was able to assist. She took her time to get to know us and our vision for the day whether it was from food tasting to decor. The day of our wedding she was there alongside us asking if we needed anything. She did an amazing job coordinating the flow of the night. The food was just amazing! I have been to so many weddings and I can truly say that Krave puts in so much passion and love into their food. We got so many great compliments about the food and service! Knowing how busy my husband and I would be she brought us cocktail hour food to our bridal suite to make sure we got to eat and also packed us up soooo much food! We were able to eat leftovers for the next two days. They truly made our wedding day so special! We loved working with Kate and her Krave team. I highly recommend their catering services not only for weddings but other events!

Hi! My name is Amanda. I studied television and film production at Montclair State University, and right out of college I decided to follow my passion to start my own event videography business. Nothing brings me more joy than working with a couple on their wedding day to bring them memories that will last a LIFETIME!

Awarded Best of Zola
UGHHH words are not enough.. Amanda was spectacular. We’re wedding videographers ourselves and the idea of having to find a videographer was daunting. Amanda was literally a dream come true. We got a teaser film, a highlight film and a feature film, and every single one came out incredible. We laughed and cried and couldn’t believe how the videos felt exactly how we felt on the day. She managed to capture the essence of our relationship, so authentically. There were so many little moments and soundbites that she included that made the video so unique to us. You could really feel the energy, effort and love that she put into the editing process. On the day, she was such a calming and fun presence, we felt so comfortable the entire time. You can really tell how much she cares about what she does and that she puts her all into her work She had so many creative ideas on the day and was down for anything which was super important to us! She was easily the best investment we made for our wedding day and we are so grateful that we have these heirlooms of our day to watch for the rest of our lives!

We primarily work with weddings, but we have also worked at family barbeques, coming-of-age ceremonies, anniversaries, birthdays, and corporate events.

The owners of Mixer Sisters developed unique recipes for our signature drinks and were attentive to our guests' requests on our wedding day. I recommend Mixer Sisters to bartend any event as they will help to make your day unforgettable.

I’m Lizzie, a wedding & engagement photographer in New York and New Jersey. For more than a decade, I’ve been capturing life's great moments. On wedding days, I am known for my happy and relaxed presence, making sure you’re on time and smiling throughout your whole day.

My husband and I hired Lizzie to do our engagement photos and bridal shower photos. She is really friendly, and her work comes out beautifully. I've recommended her to two other brides who also loved her work! When looking for a photographer, it was really important to me to find someone that would take timeless, natural looking photos that weren't cheesy and Lizzie delivered just that. For our engagement shoot, she thoroughly researched the location I chose (Central Park), recommending the best time for lighting and the best spots to take photos at. She delivered the photos quickly and even gave me a sneak peak the night of the shoot! For my bridal shower, she captured the most sentimental candids. The room was a little dark, but she has the right equipment with her to deliver amazing photos with perfect lighting. Aside from delivering a great final product, Lizzie is friendly and makes taking photos really comfortable. Her diligent research of the venue/location beforehand really made her work that much better. Her editing style is natural and timeless, and she was able to really capture how I was feeling at the moment.

Our historic house was built and finished in 1774 and was the home of New Jersey's first elected Governor William Livingston. Throughout time the house was purchased to the Kean family where they resided until the last resident passed away in 1995. Our 23 acres grounds are full of beautiful gardens. You may chose to get married in our gardens which can be found throughout the whole property. Guests will love exploring and walking around the grounds during some off periods of the event. A first floor house tour is also an option so you and your guests get to see the beauty of Liberty Hall Museum.

Liberty Hall Museum helped to make my Mid-September wedding an absolute dream. We had our ceremony in front of the lush apple orchard, our cocktail hour around the rose garden that was still blooming and our reception under the tent. We utilized the Carriage House during cocktail hour and for dessert. Liberty Hall staff, as always, was warm, helpful, accommodating and so, so patient. There was never an issue and they were quick to fix anything before it was noticed. Our photographer was so excited about all the different opportunities for unique and beautiful photos throughout the grounds, over the course of the evening. I have a hard time finding the words that truly express what an amazing location Liberty Hall is. Almost 5 years later my husband and I are still receiving compliments about our wedding day.

I can watch a good romantic movie 100 times. I enjoy romantic dates and white wine I confess that my weakness is chocolate!! I could spend all day at the beach There is nothing more beautiful than watching the sunset with the person you love..My two kids and my husband are my world and my dog shows me everyday that love is unconditional.

Monica made me feel very comfortable through the entire process of working with her. You can tell the care she takes with each of her clients. She listened to me, asked me questions, and came up with a flexible plan of what to photograph and a timeline that worked with everything that we wanted. She was willing to do the not so traditional items we asked of her and was super helpful! She even brought an extra assistant on her own because she wanted us to have the best experience. After the day her communication and delivery of the photos was excellent! She was prompt and delivered beautifully produced photos. She even ended up sending us a beautifully made ornament for Christmas! I truly felt taken care of and considered, which I was not expecting at all! Highly highly recommend!

Jaimee Rae Photography

Hey, I'm Jaimee with two "E"s. I'm a New Jersey based Lifestyle Portrait and Wedding Photographer. I'm also a wife, new mom, and mediocre latte artist. Entertaining family and friends in my home is one of my favorite things to do. The more the merrier. Come over and I'll make you a latte. I promise. When I'm not working you can usually find me with my hair in a bun and a cute baby on my hip, or cuddling on the couch with my husband in our matching robes with our dogs watching a good crime series.

Jaimee was awesome to work with. She was friendly, warm, and most of all amazing at what she does! We found Jaimee through Instagram and felt her style was exactly what we wanted. It was clean, straight forward, and really captured the moment the people she was photographing were in. When we first did our engagement shoot was the first time we met Jaimee in person, she was personable, relaxed, and didn’t rush us. We were able to do an outfit change (in the woods while Jaimee shielded us with a blanket lol) and she had some great ideas. For two people who had never done professional photos, Jaimee made it really easy to be ourselves. We also shared aPinterest board in order to share ideas prior to the session which was helpful to get a sense of where we were all at. We continued meeting with Jaimee to lock down details for the wedding. She has us fill out a questionnaire with all the important information so she had it all in one place. She kept a schedule and frequently checked in throughout the planning process to ensure we were all still on the same page. She was even a good sport towards the big day when we asked her to meet and talk with us a few times. The second shooter she got for the big day was great as well and was similar in style to Jaimee. Jaimee even set up a video call for us all to meet so we didn’t feel like strangers the day of. Jaimee worked well with our vendors and ensured everything that needed to be captured was. We didn’t even notice them much throughout the whole evening which meant they fit right in, weren’t intrusive, and still got all the shots we wanted. Jaimee truly listened to what we wanted all while doing a great job wrangling together all the people we wanted photos with. Can’t wait to use Jaimee again for various occasions in the future :)

The Floréal Blooms concept came to fruition while I was planning my wedding. After being blindsided by the actual cost of wedding flowers, I was motivated to find a more sustainable and economical alternative without compromising aesthetics. Our mission is to source quality silk flowers that not only photograph beautifully but also look amazing in person. I firmly believe that some traditions are made to be broken: It is time for a modern approach to event flowers that is: beautiful, sustainable, and waste-free.

We can’t say enough good things about Floreal Blooms! Della was an absolute pleasure to work with - responsive, detailed, organized, flexible and creative! She worked within our budget and helped create a custom look for our wedding that met all our wishes. Every flower - from the small bouquets to the larger centerpieces - were phenomenal quality and looked beautiful. Working with Della and team was one of the best choices we made for our wedding and we recommend for everyone, no matter your venue, wedding style or budget. Thank you Della and team!

We got married at The Mansion on Aug 10th and there are insufficient characters in this review box to capture our gratitude for what an impeccable place this was to get married. We initially chose the venue for ease of the location (we live a few blocks away). I hoped the food would be good, since we couldn't do a tasting, and just trusted it would all work out. THESE PEOPLE BLEW ME AWAY. The staff is awesome, from the Matre D, to the Bridal Attendant, to all the ways Jim and Nancy helped us tend to ever detail of the event, it was the most perfect day. The food was so delicious. Our guests are still talking to us about it weeks later. The cocktail hour was incredible. The main course was the best piece of meat I've ever had in my life. Everything was so fresh, and so delicious. My only regret of my wedding was that I didn't eat more than just a few bites of everything. I woke up the next morning craving the rest of my filet mignon, lol. We went with the "minimum" of everything included because we were on a budget, but it was all so abundant, generous and tasty. Even the dessert platters that came with the meal were amazingly delicious. The space itself is luxurious and beautiful. We had the whole venue to ourselves and the whole thing was just magical.

I'm a beauty, boudoir, & wedding photographer living in New Jersey with my husband and two kitties. We’re both originally from Upstate NY (and I mean WAY upstate like Rochester) where we grew up, fell in love, and I studied photography professionally. I photographed my first wedding in 2010 and haven’t looked back. Too many “I do’s” to count and I am still getting excited over your dress, I’m keeping your friends and family laughing, and I cannot wait to congratulate you after the ceremony. I know how lucky I am to photograph such momentous milestones and create images you’ll cherish 50 years down the road.

Bri Johnson is an absolute pleasure to work with, extremely organized, professional and so talented. The services and products offered by Bri are top notch and her presence alone went beyond any of our other vendors. Bri is very responsive and her online portal is super easy to use. With Bri's strong attention to detail we created a timeline of our wedding day early on and she was kind enough to distribute it to our other vendors as well. Bri kept our wedding day running smooth and the quality of our photos are seriously spectacular! It was so fun to share our blog the week after the wedding and I could spend hours looking through the online gallery. We didn't initially include a wedding album but after seeing the finished product, we just couldn't resist!

Our experience with Gabby from the beginning was fantastic! I don't think I'd ever recommend anyone else! So when she asked me today if I could leave a review I was shocked I hadn't already!!!! To start with...Communication with her was always informative and detailed. She actually did our wedding back in January and Our wedding was one of the unlucky ones impacted by COVID so when we were scrambling to get our plans together in preparation for postponements and downsizing gabby was the sweetest and the easiest to talk to. She was very understanding with our situation since we're both frontline workers and even went as far as to get tested twice before our small backyard ceremony. The photos are beyond beautiful... we're so happy we chose Gabby for our mini ceremony and our part 2 in 2022!!!

Photographs are forever. A visual reminder of your love, the celebration of the day, and the people surrounding and supporting you in this beautiful union. These are the photos you will be showing your grandchildren, hanging on your wall, and showing off on social media for many anniversaries to come. Photos are timeless.

I have come to realize that the photos of your wedding is a huge part that you really want to invest in, and my husband and I wanted all the right moments captured not only for ourselves to look back on, but for our loved ones to appreciate as well. Those moments that you will have in your wedding (no matter how big or small, possibly due to covid) is something that you don’t want to miss because you might never get that opportunity again. Our photographer Nina was honestly a God sent. She went out of her way to capture the moments that mattered and was very personable and attentive to our needs during this whole experience. That shot that you want, you WILL get if you choose her. Nina helped us tell our wedding story almost poetically. The turn around time was quicker than I expected and I was able to share my beautiful pictures with my loved ones. Ninas professionalism was top tier and the service you get was exceptional, period. Bottom line, if you are in need of someone to capture memories and not just take photographs, stop looking, you found just found her!

Ricky Castillo & Havana Nights 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $450
  • Serves Union City, NJ

Within the pulsating heart of New York City's jazz scene emerges the unmistakable rhythms of Ricky Castillo's ensemble, a masterful blend of tradition and innovation. Castillo, a Havana-bred virtuoso who honed his craft under the tutelage of guitar legend Pat Martino, seamlessly melds the raw emotion of Cuban music and the intimate stories of the Buena Vista Social Club with the polished nuances of Latin Jazz, Bossa Nova, and Jazz Standards. His collaboration with Mayda Cuellar, an enchanting chanteuse from Havana's National School of Arts, adds layers of Son Cubano, salsa, and Latin pop to their repertoire.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ricky Castillo was an absolute lifesaver! We reached out last-minute for our wedding, and not only was he prompt and professional, but his performance was simply mesmerizing. The fusion of Havana's soulful vibes with the sophistication of jazz set a magical tone for our special day. A truly unforgettable experience, and we're eternally grateful for his incredible talent!

We cannot put into words how incredible our daughter and son in law’s wedding was this past Saturday night. The entire event was way beyond what we even imaged it would be. The Meadow Wood is an absolutely beautiful, elegant venue (inside and outside) with every detail accounted for. That theme continues from start to finish with all they do. The food was not only delicious but was presented in such a way you couldn’t help but simply just say “Wow". We are happy we took a moment to pause and take it all in - from cocktail hour displays, to main course plating, to desserts that went on forever …. – “Amazing!!”. We appreciate all the work, professionalism and hands on attentive approach from the staff (a special shout out to Juan and Becky!!). None of this could have been accomplished without them working together in the same manner. It was seamless. Thank you, George, John, Tim, Charlie, Frank and all at the Meadow Wood for making our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding “the best day ever “as they begin their new life together as a married couple

On wedding days, I want my couples to know that I'm there to capture more than just portraits in the perfect golden hour lighting. Photos should bring you back to the day they were taken, the same way that souvenirs bring you back to a trip or country that you absolutely loved. To me, being a wedding photographer means more than just taking photos at a party. It's about taking the right photos that will have the right impact; the ones that will transport you through movement, colors, and vantage points right back into that incredible day. That's why "more than just portraits" is the best way to summarize what I photograph on wedding days.

Stop your search and book Olivia- she is AMAZING!!! I knew from looking at her work immediately that we had to have her for our wedding and she went above and beyond. Her work is stunning - she captures the most beautiful photos where you can feel the emotion behind them. She is also so kind, so professional, and makes you feel perfectly at ease on a day that can often feel so hectic. We could not be happier that we had Olivia photograph our wedding day.

Photography is a way to tell a story when words just don’t do it justice. I believe the best way to get to know each other is to find out what we have in common. My family is big and loud and full of love and laughter. Thankfully, my husband’s is the same and our parents, siblings, nieces and nephews are our whole world. My friends are right up there too! Some of my best friends have been in my life since I was in pigtails and footie pajamas and at this point, they ARE my family. I can't wait to chat and learn more about you!

Awarded Best of Zola
We got Rosemary's name from my co-worker who had worked with her for her own wedding. I didn't even need to speak with any other photographers. After seeing Rosemary's work and speaking with her over the phone I immediately knew that I wanted to work with her for our wedding. Her relaxed and fun demeanor really spoke to me! Meeting Rosemary for our engagement session (included in the price of her services for our wedding) was such a great experience and further solidified that we had made the right choice. Her love of love, people, and the way that she prioritizes what you want truly exude from within and it makes the awkward process of having your photo taken completely comfortable and stress free. Rosemary was super easy to communicate with she made everything extremely straightforward, especially on the day of. Once we reviewed everything with her in the weeks prior to our wedding, she provided us with the most amazing timeline for the day of which we completely stuck to and were ready early! My husband and I did a first look so that we didn’t miss any of the party, which was an amazing experience. Rosemary suggested that this be a private moment and I am so glad that she did. She allowed us the time and the space to just be with each other for a few minutes before we flung into taking photos and her presence there during that very private moment was very calm, kind, and noninvasive. Utilizing her timeline and knowing when everyone had to be ready made things suuuuuper stress free for me. So much so that I had time to sit and relax and felt completely content knowing that we had gotten all of the photos that we wanted done. I couldn’t be happier with our photos and our families agree! We just got our album back and I could not be happier with the final product and the experience of putting that together with Rosemary. It was such a special day and having confidence in Rosemary and knowing that we were going to get the best pictures was priceless. We highly recommend working with Rosemary, she is a professional, talented, and a great person! Thank you so much for everything Rosemary!
