Kyle and Dave were SO great to work with. Every conversation with them was fun and they were so organized in walking us through creating the perfect soundtrack to our favorite day. Kyle and I hit it off immediately sharing a love of Electronic, Pop Punk, and HipHop; and Dave (who DJ'd the day of) was so in tune with my husband's love of Jam Bands, Bluegrass, and Jamtronica! They respected our wishes to check in with us about outlier song requests lol and added the flare our dream playlist needed. The photobooth was loved by all of our guests. We cannot recommend them enough to anyone hosting an event or wedding!

Empire State Events by DJ Romantics

  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves Athens, NY

Our teams focus is always giving couples the best entertainment experience possible. We combine technology with knowledge and music to create unforgettable moments. Our team is dedicated to bringing you a party you'll never forget.

We got married in June 2024, and had Thaddeus as our DJ. Mackenzie took care of the photo-booth. Over the course of the 9 months leading up to the wedding I probably had 4 or 5 calls with Thaddeus to give him the general vibe we were looking for & work out details. He was professional, honest, and gave great feedback. We had many specific asks and Thaddeus made sure all of our wants fit into his plan. Once the party was going, we gave Thaddeus the creative freedom to do his thing & make sure our guests had a good time. He totally delivered. I absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ that can keep the party going! Mackenzie was great to work with as well. Empire State Events got more backdrops to choose from in the middle of our planning, so she gave me the option to switch! I’m glad we did, the eucalyptus backdrop fit perfectly with our vision. Mackenzie was incredibly friendly & ready to help anyone that needed assistance. Our guests loved the photo-booth & our kids/nieces & nephews were entertained too! Win-win!

Hi friend! I'm Becca. Ever since I was little, I wanted to listen to others stories and share them with others. As a result of a college photography class that I loved and my dad's love of nature photography, I was gifted a camera after graduation, and I never stopped! I started taking photos at a performing arts center and became mesmerized with capturing joy. I have been in the wedding industry since I was fourteen and have been taking photos professionally since 2019.

Awarded Best of Zola
Becca was wonderful to work with, her talent really showed on our wedding day. I especially loved her ability to take photos in the moment. I never felt like I was dedicating too much time to photos during the wedding and I had a great time working with her. Becca is truly also such a kind individual, we had a DIY outside wedding and she always checked in with us asking if we needed any help or needed to take a break. That’s something above and beyond what any photographer needs to do. In addition, our photos came back super fast and were absolutely stunning. There was a ton of photos to look at days after the wedding which was great to be able to share with my family and friends. I would 100% recommend Becca to anyone looking for an engagement photo or wedding photographer she really captured more than I ever dreamed of with our photos and I really enjoyed working with her.

Sydney K Andrew Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Athens, NY

Photographing weddings and elopements is a privilege that I do not take lightly. I treat each moment with as much care as if it were my own! While I am happy to take on weddings of any size, I specialize in intimate weddings or engagement sessions where I can embrace a documentary, candid approach. My favorite moments to capture are those quiet, unplanned interactions. I adore the small details. The moments that sometimes get overlooked but often times help tell the story of your wedding day the most. I thrive with couples who aren’t afraid to be silly and embrace the moments as they come as opposed to forcing it.

Awarded Best of Zola
Sydney was a dream to work with for our wedding! She is so kind and easy-going, she instantly eased all of my wedding day anxieties. She truly does it all and was essential in making our day run smoothly. From fixing my veil, to bustling my dress, and wrangling up our wedding party all while getting fantastic photos. She really is so talented at what she does by capturing all of the in-between, authentic moments that you want to remember forever. Our photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined and are so timeless, we will cherish them for the rest of our lives. We couldn’t recommend her enough not only because of her beautiful work but for the person that she is!!!

Brookledge is a 60 acre, magical oasis set in the rolling hills of Saratoga, NY. We offer a serene space for weddings and private events, as well as cabins and glamping tents for rent.

Located only 10 miles from Saratoga Springs, couples choose Brookledge for their weddings based on the location, privacy, and on-site lodging in a beautiful and serene setting.

Helen at Brookledge was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding!! From our very first interaction, the whole team was communicative, helpful, and really kind. The venue itself has a completely magical vibe, and was the perfect space for our forest wedding in the trees. I had originally hoped to get married in the redwoods in CA, but the The Camp Chapel (one option for a ceremony space) was the absolute next best thing. Helen went above and beyond throughout the weekend (even printed my updated vows last minute!!) to ensure everything ran smoothly, and everyone's attention to detail made our wedding day feel more magical than we could have ever dreamed of!! We are so grateful to Helen and the whole Brookledge team -- if you love glamping and want to get married in the trees -- THIS IS THE VENUE FOR YOU!! 1000/10 recommend! (Just because there isn't another public place to leave this, if you go with Brookledge, as you 10000% should!! don't choose Jake Allen as your DJ - just use another recommended vendor for music! )

Hi, I’m Bridget — but you can call me Bee, cause that’s what my friends call me! And since we’re basically already best friends, let me tell you a secret: taking pictures isn’t even the thing I love most about my job. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m as obsessed with taking gorgeous, dripping-in-light photos that you’ll look back on for ages as much as the next photographer. But what I really love? Meeting the most kind-hearted people and getting to know them on a level much deeper than the typical client-photographer relationship.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we first spoke with Bridget, we knew we had found the perfect wedding photographer. Her photography style, her attention to detail, and her bubbly, yet calm, demeanor all contributed to the fantastic work she did for our wedding. Her communication was always organized and succinct, putting our minds at ease throughout the planning process. Most importantly, the quality of her work was truly amazing - Her classic, beautiful photography captured all the special moments of our day, going above and beyond our expectations. Not only was her photography the best that we've seen, it was also SO timely - We had sneak peeks within a few days of our wedding. Bridget was an absolute joy to work with, serving not just as our photographer, but as a wedding guide and hype woman, too! She kept our entire timeline running smoothly and made Brooke (the bride) feel so beautiful and special. Bridget has become more than just a vendor/photographer to us - she's a friend, and we plan to use her services for all of our big life events in the future. Choosing her as your photographer will be the best decision you make for your wedding day!

After we got our film we HAD to drop a quick note about the amazing wedding video we got from Novel. It's seriously everything we could've hoped for! From the first chat to the reveal was awesome. They didn't just capture moments; they created a beautiful story with killer tunes and all the good stuff. What blew us away was how chill and natural everything felt. No awkward posing, no forced smiles—just real, genuine moments expertly captured. The editing? Flawless. Each frame looked like it could be in a magazine. The colors, the shots, that cinematic touch—absolutely nailed it. Working with Aidin was a breeze. They got our vibe, added some personal touches, and kept everything stress-free. Plus, they delivered on time without any fuss. Every angle was covered, and the sound quality is on point—vows, speeches, and all the happy noise. Our memories are forever captured, thanks to them!

Hi, I'm Jaci Berkopec! A self portrait of me would include a frozen pizza, caesar salad bag, and a bottle of white wine. But more importantly I am a wedding, lifestyle and adventure elopement photographer based out of NYC. Weddings and elopements are one of my passions because witnessing love and marriage is one of the most beautiful things we can witness. When shooting with me, expect to have tons of fun and lots of laughs because I like to be weird! Life is too short to be normal! I photograph all types of love.

We 1000000% recommend Jaci for any of your photography needs! She took our engagement photos and shot our wedding last weekend and she is an absolute DREAM to work with. Her confidence, poise, warmth and positivity helped us stay calm and have fun during the busy wedding day. We heard so many compliments from our loved ones who were also so impressed with her attitude and demeanor. And this is all before we saw the photos: her work is UNREAL. We are truly blown away- they are stunning, and capture the JOY and FUN and LOVE we experienced. I get emotional looking at just the sneak peek gallery because it so beautifully memorializes what it felt like on that day, and now we can share it with our grandparents who couldn't make the journey, and ourselves for decades to come. HIRE JACI!!!

I hired Alisha about a year out from my wedding, and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. She took my vision and absolutely glorified it. When I visited her for my trial, we instantly connected and hit it off. She worked with me through some of my personal kinks and styles. I discussed with her my vision of relating it back to a book series and you know what she did? She went ahead and read that series to get a better understanding of my ideas! And not only did she understand, she straight up brought it to life. Alisha is so sweet and understanding, super down to earth, and an amazing stylist. She treated everyone as if they were the star of the day and she’s just an amazingly talented person. Her prices are a key point, but honestly hiring her made me want to just be her friend by the end of everything. If you’re not hiring Alisha for your wedding day, you’re doing it wrong. She fit my style and my vibe, and I’m so grateful she was the hair stylist I went with. Thank you thank you thank you!

Alex is absolutely the BEST at what she does!!! She is so warm, attentive, and thorough at making sure I felt like the bride I always wanted to be on my big day. Our trial run was so much fun, and she had complete grace and flexibility on the big day when it turned out I wanted to change EVERYTHING (God bless her!!). I was sick the morning of my wedding, but Alex rolled with it effortlessly, moved around the morning-of-schedule to style half of my bridesmaids’ hair and makeup, and worked absolutely masterfully under all the pressure of having half the time to finish me as the bride. Truly, she is nimble, professional, creative and has the BEST energy to be around on the biggest day of your life.

She showed up on time, made sure all of bridesmaids looked good, and made sure I was happy. Fawn is extremely professional and amazing at what she does!

From NY to TX, then back again... I started my photography adventure 10 years ago in a small studio in upstate, New York. Since then, I've traveled across the country, taking pictures the entire time. I've captured a lifetime of memories in pictures, and now, I hope I can do the same for you! I specialize in weddings and portraiture, with experience in real estate photography as well! I love helping my customers make memories to cherish for years to come. When I'm not taking pictures, I am working as a nurse and dreaming of the days when I can put my toes in the sand with my nieces in Cape Cod.

Katharine M. Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. As a great communicator who responds quickly, Katharine made us feel so comfortable and helped make our wedding day fun and stress-free. Her work is amazing - the photos are beautiful and perfect, capturing every special moment. She followed our shot list to a tee and then some, even handling our pushy father-in-law gracefully when he tried to take over. I've used Katharine for both our wedding and engagement photos, and I'm thrilled I did. Her go-with-the-flow style was exactly what I needed on the big day.

It’s the one-on-one relationship that you have with your event host throughout your planning that will, and absolutely should, spill over into the atmosphere of your event. Getting to know you with the desire to personalize your entertainment, not simply customize, is a large part of where creativity comes from, and not just mine, but yours as well! I love to offer many suggestions and ideas for your event but also find it just as important to hear your "unique" and "awesome" ideas.

Caroline from Upbeat Occasions was amazing throughout the whole planning process! She has an incredibly helpful online wedding/music planner to help keep you organized and really give her a vibe of what you like to listen too. She couldn’t have been any easier or nicer to work with! All of our guests loved her! Her transitions from song to song at the ceremony and reception were flawless. We had people on the dance floor all night, which shows how great Caroline was. I cannot say enough amazing things about her! Book her - you won’t regret it!

Married at this venue in August 2024, we booked it over a year prior. If we could give 6 stars, we would. The venue, itself, is gorgeous. The house, the grounds, the pavillion, all beautiful. There is a nice rustic charm to it all. The views around the property are wonderful and our guests were all very impressed. Katie, Louis and their staff were all very helpful, throughout. Katie is incredibly organized and helpful and helped us deal with all our vendors, as well as things like our timeline and guest stays. If you have a chance to have your wedding here, we thoroughly recommend.

Hi everyone! I live in Upstate NY with my husband and I've been a photographer for 4 years. I started off with people I know but now I'm starting to expand my business to the public. I absolutely love helping people tell their story through photos and it puts a smile on my face as well.

Molly was fantastic to work with! She took more photos than expected and they all came out beautifully. She was extremely quick with responding to my questions regardless having a newborn to take care of. She was on time if not EARLY which was perfect. She was able to get all the required shots. Very professional and cost friendly. I will be asking her to shoot all our important moments from here on out. Thank you Molly!!

We got married at Windham Manor on 07/01/2023 and it was utterly perfect. Susan, Barry, and Terry helped make sure everything was perfect and running smoothly the entire weekend. There were so many things that they coordinated (transport around the property, folks to help set up coolers, refill ice, set up the barn, set up the ceremony site, etc.) that we never felt too overwhelmed - despite it being such a big weekend! It was a dream to get to get married there and couldn't have been more special or beautiful.

Trista was so kind and grounded throughout my wedding day morning. She did quick and beautiful work with me and my 4 bridesmaids and patiently waited for the inevitable lateness of one of them. Her energy was so gentle and helped to set a calm tone before the ceremony. She traveled to me and was flexible but punctual. During my trial she offered professional advice on color and length and clearly enjoys what she does :-)

Creek Water Blooms specializes in fully customized wood flower floristry. All arrangements are made with soft realistic wood flowers and faux/preserved fillers to create floral arrangements that can you can enjoy forever. Every flower is handmade, painted and arranged to ensure your wedding flowers are exactly what you envisioned! There’s no waste from throwing away dead flowers and the wood flowers are made from an eco friendly material. Wood flowers also prevent allergy issues, scent sensitivity and wilting. They’re the perfect way to enjoy your flowers on your wedding day and every day after.

Jessica, the owner of Creek Water Blooms, is absolutely incredible! Starting the process, we didn’t have a clear vision for our flowers, but she asked all of the right questions and created a bouquet and boutonnière that are even more perfect than anything we could have come up with ourselves. She included us in every step along the way (sending pictures of flower samples, paint/dye tests, etc.) and made the process extremely easy and stress-free. We got so many compliments on our flowers from our vendors, wedding guests and complete strangers; they photograph beautifully, are light-weight and less fragile than natural flowers. Best of all, we get to keep our flowers for life without the cost and stress of preservation. If you’re looking for beautiful, customized, long-lasting flowers and you want to work with a professional who takes the stress out of planning, then we absolutely recommend Jessica at Creek Water Blooms.

Wedding and event band based in New York’s Capital Region. We do cocktail jazz, wedding receptions, ceremony music and more. Today, jazz is a rarity, especially in its purist live form. This condition is a result of its limited availability, and the higher prevalence of rock bands in most areas. We at T. L. Holloway seek to alleviate this issue. As students of the jazz classics, we seek to provide authentic American jazz to venues and events all over the Northeastern United States.

We highly recommend TL Holloway for your live jazz band! Steve, John and Peter were such an important part of making our big day so special. They were so easy to work with the months leading up to it and very flexible with our non traditional ceremony songs!

Your wedding is too important to just present you with a series of standard menus. Nicole’s Special Events & Catering provides a unique opportunity for the couple to meet with us personally and create the perfect, menu for your special day, custom tailored by your preferences. Nicole’s provides a complete wedding plan including a custom menu, timeline, linen colors and decor, tent and furniture rentals and all of the little details that will ensure your day is flawless.

We used Nicole's Catering for our wedding in June 2024, and it was a terrific experience. Kate, Katrina and their team were extremely helpful the whole way, working with us to make sure the entire dining experience was everything we wanted. They are pros. We never had to worry about anything regarding the catering during the planning. They were flexible when we had specific questions and on top of everything. As for the food, we’re still getting compliments about it a few months later (yeah, sorry, this review is a little late). The filet was one of our choices, and it was fantastic – perfectly cooked and a large portion. Guests have also called out the firecracker salmon and the dessert cookies, and the tenderloin crostini passed appetizer was one of my favorite parts of the meal. Nicole’s does a great job with the bar, as well. Fantastic experience all around and would absolutely recommend.

Lydia is next level!! I met her back in 2020 when she was the wedding coordinator at a venue I was obsessed with in the Catskills- we ended up going a different direction in terms of venue but she had opened up her own planning business and we instantly hired her! We harvested a relationship over the last 3.5 years and she’s nothing short of incredible! My wedding would not have happened if it weren’t for Lydia! She knows all the right questions to ask, she advocates for her brides, she is there to talk you off the ledge during the stressful moments. I owe it all to her- I sent her my inspo and she executed exceptionally on everything!! Lydia is worth her weight in gold- she has a fabulous personality, is detail oriented, and her industry knowledge put alll my nerves at ease! I felt little to no stress knowing I had Lydia leading the pack! Inquire with her- her work is unmatched!
