Sergio and his team at PEG were truly exceptional and I am so happy we booked them for our wedding! We had them do our ceremony music, our reception DJ , live sax player, and photo booth! Sergio worked with us every step of the way to make sure we had a package that worked for us. The dance floor was not empty for a single second of the night! The Sax player was a huge hit!

We had such an easy time working with Enchanted Celebrations staff that I would jump at choosing them again! Blair and Summer were professional, thorough, empathetic and communicated very clearly all the different features of the videography plans so that we felt like we chose the right plan for our wedding day. As time came closer, Summer was diligent at working with us on the details for the day-of, and then a few days before the wedding we confirmed everything with Edwin, our assigned videographer. Edwin’s style was spot-on with what we imagined and the videos came out beautiful and so much quicker than we expected them. We’re delighted with our experience!

My love for photography was born when I picked up a camera and started shooting street photography as a hobby. This hobby quickly took over my entire life! Thankfully, combined with my editing and retouching skills, I was able to turn my passion into a career. Owning and running Wild Hearts has been the one of my greatest joys! I love truly love capturing your real life moments and emotions. Yes I am organized as hell and type A, but balance that with heavy doses of standing back and just capturing the moment as it’s happening. I feel a real connection with all the wild hearts out there, and would love it if you let me capture yours!

Awarded Best of Zola
Wild Hearts was the best photographer you could ask for on your wedding day! Kamelia is great at communicating throughout the entire process. Ahead of the wedding day we had a comprehensive 45 min conversation before I booked her about vision. She actually helped me get a timeline set up for the day and gave me a list of other recommended vendors which I used to find my hair/makeup stylist. It was very easy because the payments were broken up over time so nothing snuck up on you. About 1 week before my fiancé and I met up with Kamelia over brunch to discuss the locations of all the shots we planned on taking, the color scheme, all family members for those photos, and to get more comfortable with each other. I really appreciated this. The day of the wedding I could ask for nothing better. Kamelia is very organized and kept the whole day running with great direction. It was easy to follow her direction to set up poses and get some candid shots. Allyson was the other photographer and really got along with the groom and the groomsmen. They knew all of the good spots around Asbury Park and the board walk to get photos. The best times that my husband and I had was when it was just us and the photographers walking around Asbury Park Boardwalk. We were all vibing having a great time and I really think that made the photos even better. They are both such lovely and professional individuals to work with and it shows. Both photographers took INCREDIBLE photos. You always want your wedding photos to turn out great but these exceeded my expectations. Every single person at my wedding has nothing but incredible things to say about the photos. I would highly recommend Wild Hearts if you are getting married in or around Asbury Park. They were beyond a pleasure to work with.

Ten stars! I know I am super late, but better late than never. I just wanted to say thank you for how awesome Michael and the Red Bank Studio team were for our wedding. From their punctuality and professionalism throughout the whole process, to Michael’s contagious smile and good spirit on the wedding day, we must say that we could not have been able to find anyone else better than them to take care of us on our special day. I am not just saying this myself, but in fact many of my guests very impressed with Michael’s work and charisma, and came to me to complement his work and personality. Your energy, your charm, and your ability to make people laugh even when they do not want to, made our wedding day extra special. I must say that I was extremely worried about my husband and his lack of smiling skills, but he gave us the best smile I have ever seen in him. More than taking pictures and recording a video, Michael and the team would make sure that we were comfortable and we never felt overwhelmed with pictures that day. They actually enjoy their work. You can tell is not a job for them! I cannot thank you guys enough, and I will be forever grateful for the stellar work you guys performed at our wedding. I wish you and your team a successful and healthy 2023, and I hope we get to work together soon!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you are looking to have a wedding where your guests do not leave the dance floor the entire night - look no further because JB Pro Live is who you need!! Our DJ, Jan, absolutely exceeded all expectations we had as a DJ for our wedding day. When we met with him before the wedding, we gave him a few of our favorite songs but told him to use his discretion as what was most important to us was having everyone dancing and enjoying themselves. WELL, did he know what he was doing!!! Our dance floor was filled the ENTIRE NIGHT. We had 220 guests at our wedding, and 0 of them were sitting. We have guests who didn't even know we had a photo booth or voicemail booth because they truly did not leave the dance floor one time to look around. Jan reads the room perfectly and truly has a niche for knowing what people like to hear. Our MC Matt was also so great! He helped keep the night on track and made sure we were enjoying ourselves the entire time. He was fun, entertaining, and kept the vibes going! We have had 10 guests ask for our DJs information so they can book him for their own wedding because he really was just that good. After just the first dance set alone, our guests were excited and ready to party because he set the tone perfectly! We also booked a saxophonist through JPBRO as well as a dry ice machine, indoor firework fountains, and the snow effect and they were all perfect! The snow was by far the best addition! It was practically real snow (way better than what we were expecting) and all of our guests went crazy over it! The saxophonist was also a great touch and played practically every song throughout the night which our guests loved! And of course the dry ice machine and indoor firework fountains looked so great in our wedding pictures! Request Jan as your DJ- he is worth every penny and you will not regret it!!! He is absolutely a pro at what he does and you can guarantee that with him, not only will you have the best night of your life, but your guests will as well!

Cascade Queens is the perfect florist if you’re looking into using wooden faux flowers! Dana was absolutely amazing to work with. I appreciated how she was so organized, informative, and genuinely helpful throughout the entire process. She regularly kept me updated on different promotions to help us stay within budget, which I really appreciated. One of the coolest parts of this experience was being able to choose my own color scheme and she designed the flowers exactly how I envisioned them. I highly recommend checking out their reference photos on Instagram or Facebook, because it really helped me get a sense of the floral styles I liked. Dana also worked with me to match everything to my color palette, offering great suggestions along the way. On my wedding day, she came in while we were getting ready and set everything up beautifully. She even sent me photos during setup to confirm I liked the placement. The floral displays on the tables were gorgeous, and the pergola she decorated turned out stunning! She also shared helpful tips on how to re-use the ceremony florals for the cocktail hour and reception tables/decor, which saved us on cost and over-ordering. At the end of the night, Dana came back to retrieve the larger pieces and centerpieces, but we got to keep our beautiful bouquets and boutonnieres. I highly recommend Cascade queens for your floral needs, Dana is amazing and I’m going to keep my beautiful florals forever!

HIiii!! I’m Melissa! I’m a Wedding & Boudoir Photographer based out of Asbury Park, though I’m originally from Florida. I’ve been in the wedding industry since 2017, and I’ve loved every minute of it. I am all about being your hype person, connecting with you and creating an authentic friendship that yields a great experience and amazing photos. I love to capture my couples naturally and authentically, while adding an artistic touch to our photos. I can’t wait to hear from you!!

My husband and I worked with Melissa from engagement shoot to wedding and she was incredible every step of the way. Neither of us are overly confident and Melissa was able break us out of our shell a bit and captured photos that felt like us. Melissa was very professional, kind, supportive, and her communication with both us and the venue was punctual and easy. She was our easiest vendor to work from our side and the venue! I highly recommend working with Melissa. We’d book her again in a second!

Porta was an absolute dream to work with for our Halloween wedding! Their communication was always quick, clear, and timely, which was so helpful during the busy planning process. The team went above and beyond to accommodate our guests' dietary restrictions and made the set up and clean up process a breeze. The handle everything from florals, cake and decor. The quality of their work was truly magical - the space they transformed for our big day was dramatic and fun, setting the perfect mood for our spooky celebration.

Awarded Best of Zola
There aren't enough words in this world to describe how thoroughly satisfied we were with The DJ Experience. From the very beginning, they were super responsive when it came to my wants, needs and crazy ideas. Alex was super calming throughout the whole process, ensuring me that everyone would have a good time and to trust him. He did not disappoint. Everyone loved when we danced on the clouds, when I wanted a song mashup made for a special dance with my mom, he made it happen. My guests did not leave the dance floor the whole night. My MC, Darrell was out of this world. Never have I ever met an MC quite like him. He possibly had more energy than me and I have ALOT of energy. I 10/10 recommend using the DJ experience for your party needs. I promise you that you wont be disappointed.

You are doing something wrong if you are not hiring Alex as your day of coordinator for your wedding!!! "Day Of" doesn't even really describe all that Alex did for my wedding as she came into the picture long before the actual day and helped me get all the nitty gritty details of our wedding figured out. She took care of EVERYTHING at our wedding and was the go-to person for vendors, our venue, and all of my family! I was relaxed knowing that everything was being taken care of and it allowed for both me and my now husband to be fully present and enjoy the day. Alex went above and beyond and far exceeded my expectations. I totally recommend!!
