Awarded Best of Zola
When my husband and I were looking into wedding entertainment, we wanted a band that would keep everyone on the dance floor all night long. As two Penn Staters, who couldn't have had a better fit than My Hero Zero. Everyone we worked with, from their management team, to the band itself was amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better band, the dance floor was packed the entire time and people commented how it was the most fun wedding they had every been too. Working with Angel, their manager, was a breeze. She helped to coordinate everything from ceremony music, cocktail hour and even the playlist during the band's intermission. Jason was great at all of the emcee aspects of a wedding and all of the Penn State tie ins, from fight songs to Zombie Nation was exactly what we wanted. We didn't feel like we were at a wedding, we felt like we were at a concert! Each member of the band is so talented, we couldn't have been happier with the decision to have My Hero Zero perform at our wedding, would hire them 10 times out of 10!

Analisa Hastings Hair + Makeup 

5.0

  • Beauty professional
  • Serves West Islip, NY for additional fees

I grew up in Long Island, NY with my 6 older siblings. I learned a love for all things beauty when my two oldest sisters started braiding my hair and i decided i wanted to do it too. I grew to love all things hair and makeup and started doing special events for anyone who would let me in high school. Analisa Hastings was started in 2008 when i started marketing my services to fellow classmates and I saw the joy I could bring to others with my talents. When my client looks in the mirror and sees beauty rather than all the little flaws, that's what makes my heart soar and that's why I do what I do!

I am so glad that I found Analisa to do my HM for my wedding. Her and her partner did an amazing job with me and all my bridesmaids. I also did two hair trials with her ahead of time and one makeup trial (because I am indecisive like that) and both times I came out beautiful. The power even went out during one of my hair trials but that wasn't going to stop Analisa! She had a backup plan ready and she actually finished curling my hair in her car haha. I loved that she was able to think on her feet quickly and find a solution to our problem. And at my wedding everyone commented on how beautiful my hair and makeup was. She helped me find the perfect style that matched my wedding dress look and I felt like an absolute princess on my wedding day. It truly couldn't have come out any better than it did. I would highly suggest booking her for your wedding too!

Hello Gorgeous! Mia Mo is a 14 year professional cosmetologist and salon suite owner with 2 Southern California locations (Woodland Hills and Newport Beach) as well as Scottsdale Arizona. I am a New York Fashion Week Bridal Stylist, Extension Specialist, Beauty Business Coach, Product Developer, & Natural Hair Expert.

Mia and her team were absolutely amazing for my wedding. I hired them for both hair and makeup, and they exceeded all expectations. Makeup: I had a big bridal party of 11, plus myself and two moms, and everyone loved their look and felt like a queen! As a bride, I wanted to look like myself and have a natural glam look on my wedding day, and Mia nailed it. My makeup stayed flawless from photos, the ceremony through the reception without needing any touchups. Mia truly listened to what I wanted and created an approach that was custom to me. Hair: My group was very diverse in age, skin tone, and hair types—we had braids, weaves, straight hair, and curly hair, and her team could do it all. Having a diverse HMU team for my wedding was extremely important to me, and going with Mia was the best decision I could have made. The whole team was professional, fun, and kept everything running smoothly and on time. They were a dream to work with and made my wedding day even more special.

I highly recommend Little Robin Wedding Stories. I really didn't know what a videographer did when we started looking for our wedding. We were immediately blown away by the videos of other couples. Not only do you get the video of your friends and family, but Desmond creates an amazing movie knitting all of the key moments of your wedding into a story. Desmond is a true artist. Not only is the editing amazing, but it is also set to music. The movie is something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We also felt a little shy about being filmed and didn't know exactly what we wanted. We communicated by phone and email with Desmond, who listened to what we wanted. He and his team were true professionals, who made us feel comfortable on our wedding. There is so much going on and we deeply appreciated their experience and manor throughout the day. I without reservation recommend Desmond

I dropped out of college to pursue photography back in 2014 and haven't looked back since. I'm an introvert at heart, but I come alive when I'm photographing what I love. I enjoy sipping coffee, exploring new places, board games, and creative projects.

Awarded Best of Zola
Booking Rachel Stenger was one of the best vendor decisions that my husband and I made for our wedding day. Even from the first meeting we had with Rachel, she has such a calming and warm presence which we knew was what we would need the day of. She has such a unique way of photographing and capturing moments that make her so special and unlike a lot of other wedding photographers we met with. We did an engagement session with her and she made us feel so at ease, like most couples we're not naturally in front of the camera but she was able to easily talk us through poses throughout the session. We had a call the month of to discuss details with her - e.i, timeline, shot list, etc. This was a great call because it helped all of us get on the same page for day of. Forwarding to the wedding day - Rachel arrived early to start on capturing details. She helped us stay on-time during getting ready and first look since my DoC was at the venue setting up. She was able to capture SO many images throughout the day from getting ready all the way to the dance floor. Aside from the staged/traditional photos you'd expect from the wedding, she captured so many beautiful candid moments. She moved in SILENCE, I truly didn't see her for most of the day (in a good way!) yet we ended up with 750 images in the 7 hrs we hired her for. She captured everything and more. When we finally got the full album - my husband and I spent had an amazing 2 hours reliving every single moment! She blew us away and we were not prepared by how beautifully she captured the day - all of the details, the emotions, and the aesthetics, were EVERYTHING! Her talent is remarkable and we couldn't have asked for anything more. I'd recommend her to anyone - in fact, I already have a friend that's hired her for their day.

I like to think of myself as a lil bit southern, lil bit punk, and a whole lotta rock-n-roll. I’m a PBR lover, hardcore show corner dweller, disco ball queen. You’re going to hear me say, “hell yeah, brother” more than twice, Dale Earnhardt is an icon, and Dolly Parton is royalty. You'll love me if you're a little trashy, always classy, badass, sometimes chic, forever romantic. Unwedding, editorial, nontraditional, offbeat, colorful, joyful, film-inspired, and disco vibes always. If you like, I'll wear a rainbow suit, I'll definitely dance with your mom, and I will always be a champion for you and your lover.

Kathleen is not only an incredible artist but an incredible person. She is incredibly thoughtful and has an amazing eye for documenting her couples in a unique and creative perspective. Kathleen is a delight to work with and her couples absolutely love her. Not only for the art she creates, but her couples know they will have the best time working with her.

Photography was a hobby but when my friend found her self with no photographer days before her wedding, she asked if I could shoot her day and from the first wedding I was hooked! 11 years later and I think I have the best job on the planet. I have been married to the love of my life Jordan for 6 years now and she is the extra magic in Swiger Photography. We have a lil rescue pup named Furgie and spend our free time trying new bourbons and exploring Philadelphia!

My wife and I got married in 2018 and had an amazing experience using Swiger Photography! She shot both our engagement pictures and our wedding and all the photos are incredible!

HI there! My name is Natalie and I own Natalie Kathryn Photo! I love having the privilege to capture you on the best day of your life! I absolutely love weddings and being able to be there for every part of your day!

Wedding photos were such an important part in planning my wedding. I wanted to make sure I was investing in something high quality and would match the editing style my husband and I prefer. Natalie and her teams photos are just that. While she was who did all our final edits, she was not able to be present on my wedding day. Instead two girls who she works closely with did my wedding photos. I was a bit nervous about this at first but after working with Natalie I put full trust that her recommendations would not let me down. We are so thrilled with our sneak peaks and are so glad we trusted this team. Everyone was so great in making sure we got the posed photos we wanted but also capturing moments as they happened. Looking forward to receiving our full gallery. If anyone is looking for bright and romantic photos, look no further.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you want someone who can help you plan the wedding of your dreams than Vanessa is the girl for you. On our first meeting, even before I hired her she was taking notes and making a timeline for me! She was never pushy and you can tell she truly does this because she loves her job. I had heard all the horror stories of the planners who take advantage of brides and secretly take kickbacks but this is NOT the case at all with Vanessa. I was at first skeptical about hiring someone to plan my Hindu-Jewish fusion wedding who was not of the same culture as me. Turns out I was very very very wrong. She knows more about these traditions than both my fiancé and I. She is always willing to go above and beyond. You can feel the warmth radiating from her and the knowledge. Planning a wedding half way across the country can seem daunting but Vanessa makes it so easy. My friends always comment that I must love wedding planning and I am the least stressed out bride but all credit goes to Vanessa. She literally carries all the stress. She is your friend, planner and therapist. I work a full time job and often call her on my drive home and we will start with how my day was and then we move to wedding details. She will always have your back. She has an extensive network of vendors she has worked with but also is always open to my suggestions of vendors I find. She has literally saved me thousands of dollars. My fiancé and I joked that she is our bodyguard in this crazy wedding industry world. Both of us are highly educated but Vanessa knows the right questions to ask and she also knows when something is not right. She is there to protect you. She will go over the details with a fine tooth comb. She will find people who fit your budget and style. She cares so much for her clients. The biggest mistake someone can make while planning their wedding is not hiring Vanessa. Hire her. You will not regret it.

I hope we share the same goal and that I am the photographer you are looking for.

Hiring Alice as our wedding photographer was one of our best planning decisions we made! From our first call with her we knew she fit our personalities so well and would capture the emotions and colors of a traditional Indian wedding better than anyone else could. She was by my side every step of the way on the wedding day and truly made the day brighter with her smile and capturing my quirky personality! I cannot wait to work with her again.

I could go on about her but I'll try to be brief - Kyrsten was absolutely incredible at making me and my now-husband feel comfortable in our own skin. We talked on the phone when I first reached out and immediately hit it off, which was easy because she is sassy and says it like it is which I absolutely love. She took our engagement photos on the hottest day of the summer and we had a blast even with sweat dripping down our backs. She had us laughing the whole time and we even wound up in a fountain! I did bridal portraits with her a month before my wedding and it gave me so much peace of mind to know what to expect for the wedding day and to see how everything photographed. At our wedding, Kyrsten made quick work of getting through our large families while keeping the peace amid the chaos. We are obsessed with our engagement photos and my bridal portraits and are anxiously awaiting our wedding photos! I can not recommend Kyrsten enough - but make sure you book her early, she books up fast! Her personality is infectious and her tips and tricks for creating natural smiles and laughter are the funniest!

Someday, years from now, someone close to you will ask about your wedding day - someone that may not have been able to be there, or a new friend or family member who you have welcomed into your life. As you sit on your couch and reminisce while sipping on a cup of coffee, rather than just telling them about your wedding day - I want you to be able to show them. Photographs have an amazing ability to freeze special moments in time. I want to do that for you.

Julia was a complete joy to work with for our engagement photos and then wedding! From the day we met I knew my (then) fiancé and I would be able to relax and be comfortable in front of her camera. She was so much fun to work with and had us in beautiful but still comfortable poses/positions. Her and her husband shot our wedding and they were so patient throughout hectic family photos. We can't recommend Julia enough!!

Hi, I’m Maiara (you can call me Mai if you want) Your photographer! Aswell a wife, a best friend, a dog cuddling master, a chocolate lover, and I'm all about traveling! I'm actually from Brazil, and besides English, I also speak Portuguese and un poquito de español, and I’m here to tell your story. I found photography through my parent's film cameras back in the 90s when I was still a kid, and I love it for its capacity to freeze moments in time, to document love in all of its wild and wonderful forms.

We have worked together a few times and I am impressed with her work! She is so talented and dedicated! If you're looking for a great photographer that at the same time will feel like a great friend, book her asap!

Hi I'm Jackie, and I literally love my job! I’m a New England-based photographer for the last 18 years. I have to admit though, I love taking this one woman show on the road and travel makes me the happiest. I have been lucky enough to shoot destination weddings in England, Iceland, and Alaska. I would describe my photography style as very laid back and natural. The little in between moments make for the best photos, and I’m not about capturing awkward prom poses and forced smiles. I want the real stuff - the stuff that’ll make you laugh till your cheeks hurt and will make your heart beat faster.

Jackie was the best to work with. I'm not huge on being photographed, but she was great at making us feel comfortable. She was also easy to get in touch with, responding to emails within a few days. I'm glad we did an engagement shoot to get to know her a little before the wedding day and help ease the photography anxiety. We got a handful of sneak peek shots a few weeks after the wedding, which was exciting, followed by the full set of photos a few weeks after that. The photos are beautiful and capture our day perfectly. I don't even remember seeing her at the ceremony I was so focused on everything else, but she captured it and all our emotions beautifully. She also was very good at getting through the portrait photos quickly, as I had a lot of family members to move around. Very happy to have worked with her.

My love for photography began over a decade ago when a good friend lent me his camera. I quickly discovered my passion for capturing the beauty of candid moments and the world around me. Outside of photographing couples, I enjoy downhill mountain biking, traveling, nature & landscape photography, hiking, and playing guitar. I live in East Hampton, Connecticut with my beautiful wife (Meg), our two dogs (Tucker & Diamond), and cat (Grace).

Working with Mike was wonderful! His photographs are beautiful. But beyond the impeccable quality of his work, Mike is a pleasure to work with--he is responsive, knowledgeable, and organized. Anyone who is planning a wedding knows how valuable these qualities are. I'd enthusiastically recommend Mike to all!

People ask me about Moments with Ada Photography. It grew out of an abundant desire to pay tribute to my late great-grandmother. Due to unfortunate circumstances, her life ended quickly and my grandmother grew up knowing very little of her mother. I've always wondered what she was like and what her interests were. Aside from a few photos of her we know very little of her. This is my way of continuing to keep her memory alive, by sharing moments with you it's like I'm sharing them with her. By helping you to capture your special moments, I know that I'm leaving behind a long legacy that my children and grandchildren will be proud of.

Rebecca was our wedding photographer at Winbrooke last month and I don’t have the words to say how much I loved working with her! From our first Zoom call to wedding day she stayed in touch just to check in and was happy to give recommendations for other vendors I needed. I knew she was special from our first chat but meeting her in person and spending our special day with her exceeded my expectations. She has such a kind heart and is so passionate about her work and it truly shows. Our sneak peek photos blew me away and I can’t wait to see the rest! She has a true gift and I can’t recommend her enough!

I love creating beautiful, custom wedding henna! From intricate, elaborate bridal mehndi designs to speedy, satisfying designs for guests, I love it all. I have studied Indian, North African, and Middle Eastern henna design in depth, and am happy to create designs in a broad range of strictly traditional styles, or to combine traditional patterns with more individualized, unique elements for a customized henna experience.

Heather is truly a professional, in every way. I enjoyed working with her because once I engaged her services I didn't have to give it another thought - she took care of everything and was so calm, organized, and thoughtful! The designs were absolutely exquisite and so beautifully done. She's an artist, and her work really makes a big impression. I highly recommend her!

Hanami Cake Design was born out of the desire to ensure that everyone can eat dessert whenever they want to! We offer luxury cakes and personalized dessert tables, including cupcakes, whoopie pies, tarts, macarons, pies, doughnuts, and more! We offer an entirely custom experience for our couples, from different sweets, to flavors and designs. We can also offer nearly everything in a variety of allergen-friendly options, including gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free, nut-free, organic, and refined sugar free! We are passionate about creating a unique experience for our couples, a sustainable business for our planet, and dessert for all!

Overall we and everyone one of our guest enjoyed the cake, and cupcakes as nothing was left at the end of the night. The design was exactly what we wanted, and even had a little extra minor details. As far as communication, we reached out early and took a while for a response was told they would reach out closer to date. All communication went with both mine and fiances email addresses but they only responded to one. Missed the cut off day to respond and not get hit with a 300 rush fee due to that, even though we had booked a year in advance and only reduced the number of cupcakes from the original quote.

Hi I'm Andrew! I first started filming weddings when my sister got married in 2017. I quickly fell in love with the entire process and getting to know all the couples and their guests. Maybe I'm just a hopeless romantic haha (My guilty pleasure is Hallmark movies, once I walk in the room with it on I have to see how it ends!).

We used Andrew for our Joshua Tree wedding in September 2020. Like many covid weddings it was very stressful. Andrew was very reliable and put us at ease. We absolutely love our video. He did a wonderful job of capturing the day and all the important memories. Would highly recommend!!

Operating out of Atlantic City, NJ, Gray Mustache Studios is a videography company that specializes in producing high-quality cinematic experiences for their clients. I pride myself in my wedding and special events coverage, where I take blissful moments and immortalize them in high-definition films. Couples looking for organic yet well-versed video services can find something special at this company.

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! Thank You Gray Mustache Studios!
