Chris and his team from Limitless Entertainment are excellent! You're in great hands if you book him for your wedding or event. I just got married 11/1/24 and everyone raved about how great the music was! Chris is personable and took the time to listen to our music taste and curated the perfect set that kept people dancing all night long. I received a lot of compliments on how well the music was, he knows how to read the room and get the party going! We also had our wedding monogram on one of the walls, co2 blasters, sparklers, lighting, and a horn to get the party going! Everything came out great. Thank you for making our wedding perfect!

When I hired All In Entertainment, I had multiple options to choose from; however, Anthony's energetic and relatable personality and his knowledge and expertise was what made me choose him as my provider for DJ services. When the time came for my wedding day, (we DIY'D everything) so naturally we ran entirely behind schedule! That's when my DJ Mike SAVED the day along with my photographer and they basically took the coordination of placing the guests in and out of the appropriate rooms and they even helped me make a candle light outdoor ceremony look even better. Mike was exceptional, he confirmed that all the songs that were specifically requested for the ceremony and introductions were played and he went over them with me to make sure that he had them correct AND HE DID! Anthony ABSOLUTELY killed it with the intro remix I requested! Overall it was a great experience from booking to the actual day of the event. Thank you All In Entertainment and team! The Darby's

Dragonfly Flowers

  • Florist
  • Serves Carteret, NJ

I am small business florist who loves creating the most perfect florals for a couples most special day. I really believe that flowers can bring so much joy, they can celebrate cultures, represent life and passion, and even remember and honor loved ones. Whether it is a single rose, or a full wildflower garden, I think there are flowers for every type of person!

Awarded Best of Zola
I texted Laura the day of my wedding because I felt like she needed to know my first tears were shed when I saw my bouquet. Words cannot describe how perfect it was. Laura took everything me and my partner asked for and ran with it. Florals were a very big piece of our wedding and I really feel like we asked the perfect person to bring them to life. Not only were the florals perfect but my mom stopped me the day after my wedding just to tell me she ran into Laura and she was "just so kind". 100/10 would recommend hiring her for your wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Lisa and Pieter are truly the most amazing wedding photographers! We knew without a doubt that we wanted to use them for our wedding and we felt even better about our decision when we got our engagement photos—WOW! Our engagement shoot exceeded all of our expectations. Fast forward to just before the wedding—Lisa contacted all of our vendors to introduce herself and to help coordinate. My makeup artist and hair stylist were blown away by this. They thought it was super helpful of her to reach out and helped solidify a timeline with everyone. My videographer said that Lisa was such a pleasure to work with! She really went above and beyond. She helped keep me calm on my wedding day and her and Pieter truly captured every special moment. They have such an incredible eye. We could not be happier with our wedding gallery. We have gotten SO many compliments on our wedding photos and several people reached out to me asking for Lisa’s info for the future! We got previews just the day after our wedding, as well as more previews a few days later. The rest of our gallery was delivered in a timely manner. Choose Lisa and Pieter!

We are so glad we went with DJ Maxx for our wedding! We were looking for someone who would be able to cater to all of our needs (English and Spanish playlists) but who didn't bring a 'club promoter' vibe to the function! We found that and more in DJ Maxx! The dry ice and party lights made the night so fun! Everyone's told us how much fun they had at our wedding and how nice it was to be able to discreetly (lol) make song requests! Definitely recommend!

Carlo Timothy Films 

5.0

  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Carteret, NJ

After recently getting married myself, I truly understand that there are so many decisions that a couple has to make for their big day. And when it comes to your wedding film, I would love the opportunity to tell you about my experience on this journey I have embraced - telling the story of love. Your love.

Awarded Best of Zola
Let’s start off by saying that I planned my own wedding, and I am quite particular and critical. Having also attended art school with a BFA in photography, it’s especially challenging for me to find another creative whom I'm both impressed by their portfolio/aesthetic and can trust as another artist. With that being said, I am so happy that I found Carlo and his wonderful team through my friend. Hands down, Carlo’s team was my FAVORITE VENDOR, and a vendor that I feel incredibly fortunate to have hired and believe is worth every penny for the extra services we paid for. In weddings where a million things could go wrong in so many directions, Carlo’s team went above and beyond. Every time I look back, I am filled with a sense of gratitude and relief that I hired him. This feeling cannot be said for other vendors. TLDR: Just hire Carlo for your wedding, and you won’t regret it, I promise you. Carlo’s team is amazing for the following reasons: Communication: Carlo was THE MOST RESPONSIVE vendor out of everyone I worked with. He always acknowledged receipt of emails and took the time to answer all of my questions. Carlo managed expectations well and was super proactive throughout the process. Although Carlo himself had unfortunately been booked on the day of my wedding, he made sure that his team would cover his absence and deliver the creative vision shown in his portfolio, which they absolutely did. What was even more impressive was that throughout the process, from getting to know the team to planning the day, all the way leading up to my wedding, Carlo himself was very much involved even though he wasn’t going to be on-site. He didn’t just hand off the project because his team was covering for him. Creative Vision: Carlo is exceptional with his craft and vision. When we received the teaser reel, we were blown away. And then when we received the final edited movie, it really brought back emotions from the day of our wedding. It was shot and edited in the most natural but beautiful way, with many thoughtful transitions and edits. As a creative myself, I could see how much time and thought Carlo spent during the editing process. It is so well-crafted, and even the raw footage came out amazing. Professionalism: From the way Carlo’s team set up and collaborated with the photographers to how they handled themselves during a fire drill (unexpected thunder & rain, last-minute changes, etc.), to how they gave directions to me and my husband, they were such pros and a pleasure to work with. Also, they were the only ones who captured the wedding ceremony space due to some unexpected hiccups that occurred. Carlo’s team is calm, collected, and incredibly thoughtful. They are genuinely great people whom you would want to invite to your wedding for the positive vibe they bring. I can’t thank you enough Carlo and the team! You guys are the ABSOLUTE BEST!!

Hello, I'm Margaret. It's so nice to have you. I love to see love & take pictures. Perfect match to be an engagement and wedding photographer. I'm a lover of fine art and candid moments. My editing style is filled with true color photography to bring your photos to life.

Awarded Best of Zola
Margaret was better than I could’ve asked! Leading up to the day she was so easy to communicate with. She created a timeline for the day and any thoughts I had she took them into account and found a way to incorporate them into the plan. Truely felt like a team because of how kind and thoughtful she is. Get to the day, she was a calming presence for sure. She showed up with a smile on her face and seamlessly cued the bridesmaids and myself throughout. She was present but didn’t hover it was the perfect balance. Along with that she was my hype girl throughout it 3 Now let’s talk about the pictures, I’m not used to getting my picture taken and feel so uncomfortable being the center of attention but she tells you every detail you need, and if something doesn’t look right she’ll correct it gracefully in the moment. I felt like I got to enjoy my day without it feeling like a photoshoot. She delivered the pictures so fast!! A couple of my bridesmaids made comments about how fast the turnaround time was…and they were breathtaking!! Better than I ever could have imagined, I can’t stop looking at them. Not a moment was missed and due to her talent we have the most perfect picture to remind us of our special day for the rest of our lives. Do yourself a favor and book with her, worth every penny.

When you hire Jamie you actually GET Jamie as your photographer on your wedding day! Why? 1. I LOVE photographing weddings! (I don’t want to send someone else to “do it for me” 🤪) 2. If you’re reading this, then you’re at the stage right now where you are researching individual photographers style, reading reviews showing their reputation, and scheduling a call to research their personality while sharing your vision. …. Now imaging doing all that work just for a “team member” or “an associate” photographer to show up on your wedding day? CRAZY RIGHT?! When you hire Jamie, your date is locked in FOR YOU, no unwanted surprises!

Awarded Best of Zola
Jamie was wonderful to work with. She was very responsive and did a beautiful job with the pictures for our wedding. She was very helpful during our preliminary meeting and asked us great questions to help us prepare and consider all the photos we would want throughout the day. On our wedding day, she was prompt and very organized. After, she followed up with preview photos while she worked on our final versions. She even fast-tracked a photo for our thank you cards. We highly recommend Jamie Bodo Photography.

I love creating beautiful photos and capturing moments and memories but more importantly I love to photograph weddings and engagements because I love marriage and the love it signifies.

Awarded Best of Zola
Paul was absolutely incredible to work with! We had the pleasure of working with him for both our engagement shoot and wedding, and he made every moment enjoyable. From the start, Paul was kind, communicative, and incredibly creative. My husband and I can sometimes feel awkward in front of the camera, but Paul made us feel completely at ease. He avoided overly posed shots and instead guided us into natural, flattering poses, (but still fun and creative) which turned out stunning. We were a bit nervous about finding a great photo location without needing to drive somewhere else. We thought we might be able to take photos around the grounds; Paul arrived early and scouted out the best spots, ensuring we had the perfect backdrops for our pictures. We had a few edit requests, and Paul was more than accommodating. On the wedding day, he was meticulous in capturing all of our group photo requests and making sure no detail was missed. At the reception, Paul expertly documented all the little moments that will allow us to relive those joyful memories for years to come. We couldn't be happier with our photos!

She also went back to school to get her Skin Care Specialty License.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ashley is such a kind and wonderful person to work with! She made me and my bridal party feel comfortable going up to the big day. Pricing was reasonable and I went with her originally because she did not require more than 2 minimum people/services the day of on site, which put me at ease in case my girls decided later they did not want makeup done. Most services to go on site had a large minimum. Any questions I had in email she responded quickly which is a big help in the wedding planning process. On the big day she made sure my skin was prepped well and the cheeks/lips she was able to build up and make tweaks as we go so it would work perfectly with my look. The photos were amazing with the tones she picked and I got a slight glow as the night went on which is what I wanted, and it stayed all night! To add to it, she gave me the lip product to keep for touch ups at no cost! This is exactly who you want to be with you on your big day. Thank you so much Ashley!

Where do I even begin? From the first moment we drove up to those gates we knew this was the place we wanted to have our wedding. When you walk into those doors it just feels like you're in a majestic place, you will literally get the chills. From the stairs, to the chapel to even the bridal suite. (Oh ladies, you'll fall in love with that bridal suite) Oh and the groomsmen suite just perfect. When we left I told my husband this was it. This is where we were meant to get married. By the way, we booked the Park Chateau in May 2017 and got married in November 2019. We knew we made the right choice just by hearing how great their sister venues were and boy were we right. From the very beginning the staff have been so welcoming and attentive. Liz was always there to answer any of our questions and answer all of our emails. Fast forward, November 2019, our wedding day. The whole day was just perfect. Words can't even express how thankful we are for everyone at the Park Chateau. From Liz, to Devin, Austin who was the greatest Maitre'd. We had 2 ring bearers and a flower girl and let me tell you Austin was amazing with them. Also thank you to our bridal and groom attendants, Francisco, Joann, Aleida and especially Mikey. We met Mikey the day of our tasting and we instantly fell in love with her. She has that personality that makes you feel no stress and we were right. Thanks to her and the rest of the team my husband and I didn't have to stress about anything the day of our wedding. From having champagne ready for us, to fixing my dress before walking down the chapel, to even having a cold towel when I felt hot after dancing too much on the dance floor, they were always there one step ahead. Our guests are still talking about how great the food and service was. So thank you, to everyone at the Park Chateau for making our dream wedding a reality. Now for the rest of you, if you're thinking of where to have your wedding, this is it. You will never regret it.

Awarded Best of Zola
Dayna is an absolutely fantastic businesswoman, and a true artist! Her before/after photos show off her skill - what isn't shown is how lovely the make-up *feels* and how easy it is to wear! Communicating with Dayna was so easy - she guided me through the wedding trial and day-of process with detailed and focused e-mails (my preferred method of contact). I was never uncertain of her professionalism or reliability. As a bride, juggling vendors can be so time-consuming, and I never had worry about asking a million follow-up questions with Dayna - she made it all so simple and still made me feel special. I had complete confidence that the bridal party prep would be executed perfectly - and it absolutely was! She and her assistant needed so little from us and worked so efficiently while still having fun! Beyond all of this, Dayna is the gentlest person who brings a welcome calm to a chaotic time. She is so much more than a make-up artist - she is a smart and kind woman who will always be a gracious guest in your home. Dayna was recommended to me by a friend, and I will certainly be recommending her to others!

When I was a little girl, my favorite part about making the trip to Argentina to visit my grandparents, was rummaging through their old boxes of prints on a rainy day and just imagining life through those photos. I think that's what started my passion for photography. Knowing that a photo can have such an impact on a child, someone who hasn't even met you yet, makes taking them all the more meaningful. I am passionate about making meaningful images for others because I know how important those photos will be in the future.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Carolina for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision! From the very beginning, she made us feel comfortable and at ease, which was such a relief for two people who aren’t always the most comfortable in front of the camera. Her pre-wedding connection shoot was a fantastic way for us to get to know her better and for her to understand our personalities and what we were looking for. It was a great way to break the ice and helped us feel much more relaxed on the big day. Throughout the entire process, Carolina was not only professional but also genuinely kind and attentive. She truly went above and beyond, even giving us a few sneak peek shots early, which was such a thoughtful touch and helped us relive some of the best moments right away. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. She captured our day in such a beautiful, authentic way, and we are so grateful for all her hard work. If you're looking for someone who is not just talented but also warm and genuinely cares about making you feel comfortable and happy, we highly recommend Carolina!!

Awarded Best of Zola
I will just start by saying that hiring the Franklin & Alison Music Band was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding on 5/18/24 at the Atrium of Tenafly! We received so many compliments from all the guests for the quality of the live band we had; and to our joy, the dance floor was always brimming with people. We happened upon the band’s website via The Knot’s suggested music provider list and absolutely loved their sample videos, songs, pictures, and testimonials. From the get go, Laraine was a pleasure to work with - always clear, on point with her answers, considerate, personable, and compassionate. We spoke at length via several phone calls and email exchanges about our history as a couple and our music preferences and then we met in person to go over all the details and narrow down the list of our favorite songs, She paid close attention to the pronunciation of names, nailed the parent dance song suggestions and the timing of the different reception activities. Then Laraine, Keith and the band did an amazing job at compiling an extremely successful playlist customized to our wedding. Katrice’s voice is stunning and so versatile, Sam was the perfect host, Keith was just so fun to chat with, and everyone in the band was just phenomenal! We all had a blast and I couldn’t recommend Franklin & Alison Music highly enough! Hands down the best decision ever!
