Awarded Best of Zola
Naked Soul (led by Tony and Tom Perrone) absolutely ROCKED at our wedding! Tons of friends and family told us during and afterwards that they were the best wedding band they'd seen, and we might be biased, but we agree wholeheartedly. They were also pretty great to work with, and as a result music was one of the least stressful parts of planning and one of the best memories of the event. The planning process was extremely professional — we had a few calls with Tony to talk over the vibe we were going for in the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dance floor. They sent over a list of a couple hundred songs in their repertoire and we picked 20 or so to anchor their idea of what we were looking for and selected our processionals, recessional, first dance, and parent-child dances. Our first dance was not on their list but they learned it and killed it in their performance. Our venue was a little non-traditional (relatively small room for the dance floorband) and we weren't sure that a full band was going to work in the space, but Tony put us at ease and pulled it off amazingly. One of the points Tony made in the run-up was that the songs we were picking were recommendations, not a set list. The band was going to follow the vibe and play more of whatever style was working with the crowd. This made it so much easier for us to pick songs, and in the end they played a lot of stuff that wasn't in our pics but went over better than we could have dreamed. I never thought I'd say that the best songs at my wedding were from the Backstreet Boys, Spice Girls, and Black Eyed Peas. They knew their audience and the place went wild when they played Everybody (Backstreet's Back). The range of songs that a 10-piece band with a full array of vocalists can pull off is wild. Anyway, 10/10, would book again. If you're in the New York area and looking for a party we can't recommend Perrone Bros/Naked Soul highly enough. Bonus, these pics were taken by Tony and posted to their Instagram after the event.

Working with Jesse and his team at Visual Event Films was one of the GREATEST decisions we made! Jesse crafted an unforgettable masterpiece that encapsulated our love story in breathtaking detail. We chose his "Full Story Wedding Videography Package" as it offered something that no other videographer did: a one-of-a-kind, unique, personal wedding video that encompassed our entire story. Jesse met with us multiple times before the wedding to listen to our stories and learn our backgrounds. His dedication and talent in storytelling is unmatched as he used this information to create a narrative that encompassed our most important themes and values. He even scouted beautiful locations where we filmed an additional day (outside of our wedding day) with us. These extra clips added SO much to our video because it highlighted our true personalities and us doing our favorite things together. The quality of Jesse's equipment is phenomenal: his cameras filmed every single moment with precision and detail. The vivid colors and and rich contrasts could be seen in every clip, and looked as if we were in a real movie. There were slow motion shots that are crystal clear and stunning. Lastly, Jesse and his team were easy to contact and very prompt throughout the wedding day. They were at every location, prepared and ready. We are forever grateful we went with Visual Event Films - they are are the best of their kind in the tristate area!

We used Glitzed Events for our wedding florals and they did a fantastic job! Nicole went above and beyond before we even chatted on the phone, quickly putting together a concept board of the wedding florals just from a Pinterest board I had sent. It was exactly what I was envisioning and I knew I wanted to work with her simply by her going the extra mile from day one. When we did have the initial conversation, Nicole took her time getting to know us and our style, and explained her whole process and answered any questions we had. She helped us stay within our budget while still providing high quality, creative and beautiful florals. The day of the wedding, Nicole hand delivered the personal florals and showed us the correct ways to hold the bouquets. Everyone was complimenting how beautiful and elegant the flowers were, and how well they tied together the entire wedding vision. I would 100% recommend Nicole and Glitzed Events!

We could not be more happy with how our wedding turned out at Mamaroneck Beach and Yacht Club. There are so many things that make this venue special. The service, the scenery, the food, and the run of show were all spectacular. The service. We received attentive and detailed service throughout the entire planning process. The director of events, Bob, answered all of our emails promptly and with detail. He is a wonderful man who goes above and beyond to make sure that we were thoroughly satisfied and feeling well taken care of. Bob was so fantastic at helping us come up with solutions to challenges that emerged at different stages of the planning process, and we couldn’t have pulled off the party we wanted without his patience, thoughtfulness, and support. On the day of, we were made to feel so special by all the staff at MBYC.

Typically wedding food is basic and mass produced, but every dish at MB&YC felt special. We had so many friends after the wedding recounting their favorite bites throughout the night. The mac and cheese bites as well as the New York Strip Steak were definitely crowd pleasers. Not only was the food plentiful, but it was all also incredibly tasty. Bob and his staff also made sure to take care of our guests with dietary restrictions. Everyone ate well at our wedding. The run of show. Bob and his team were working very hard the evening of our wedding to ensure the schedule was kept and everything went as planned. Leading up to the event, Bob heard all of our concerns and desires, and he was able to execute a fabulous event the evening of our wedding. I was never once concerned that something was missing or forgotten, I trusted Bob and I knew he was going to make sure we had a perfect night. Overall, definitely book your wedding here at MB&YC!

Led by singer, songwriter, and recording artist Melody Rodriguez, the band can be heard in numerous styles such as Latin Pop, Boy Bands and 90’s nostalgia, while authentically performing standards and classics with powerhouse vocals.

Awarded Best of Zola
When looking for a band for a multicultural wedding, we knew they had to be special. Just the Melody was the first band we reached out to and it was clear from the onset that we didn’t have to look any further because we knew they were the ones. Throughout the entire experience, Melody and Edvin were an absolute dream to work with. They were incredibly responsive and took the planning process seriously while also keeping it fun. We were able to have multiple planning meetings where they clearly listened to our vision and more specifically the energy we were hoping to bring to the entire evening. Our wedding included multiple different musical moments that Just the Melody was able to provide with aplomb. The ceremony was romantic instrumental music that transitioned to modern pop instrumentals during the first half of the cocktail hour. Then a Mariachi band took over the second half of the cocktail hour with Melody providing gorgeous vocals for a few songs before the 12-piece band took over the magic for the rest of the night. The band with Edvin as MC matched the energy of our guests the entire night in a way we never expected. After our first dance, a beautiful rendition of Luis Miguel’s”Por Debajo De La Mesa”, the band moved right into a wondrous lineup of Latin music including Cumbia, Bachata, and Salsa that got our guests up and on their feet. From that point forward the dancing was nonstop with both American and Latin music filling the air. They also helped us celebrate the joining of our Jewish and Latino cultures by playing the Hora followed by La Vibora De La Mar. Edvin and Melody worked well with our venue to time our fathers’ speeches when our guests paused for a moment to eat and they were thoughtful with the tempo of the night by pairing this with our father/bride and mother/groom dances. After dinner they brought the energy right back up and we even got to see some of Edvin’s unreal dance moves when the 90s/2000s pop music started up. We could absolutely not believe it when they allowed us to come on stage and belt out one of our favorite songs (Jimmy Eat World’s “The Middle”). It was a living dream (especially for the bride). We cannot say enough how much both of us and all of our guests absolutely adored Just the Melody. We have been told multiple times by our guests that they didn't expect to go to a concert along with our wedding and that they loved every minute of it. And we did too. The music the entire evening was exceptional and better than anything we could have come up with in our wildest dreams for the evening. Thank you Melody, Edvin and the entire Just the Melody crew - we could not have chosen better for our wedding!!

We loved how the venue was versatile enough to host both our ceremony and reception in one place, while still offering distinct areas for guests to enjoy. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the delicious food and exceptional service. The banquet team really made the meal feel like an experience, and we loved that the venue offers a variety of menu options, allowing us to personalize the dining experience for our guests. We couldn’t have imagined a more magical place to celebrate our wedding day. We truly felt like royalty celebrating in such a beautiful, historic venue. If you're looking for a venue that combines elegance, charm, and outstanding service, Whitby Castle is the perfect choice. Thank you to the Whitby Castle team for helping create the wedding of our dreams!

Hi there! My name is Jesse Rinka, owner of Jesse Rinka Photography and one of the luckiest men you will ever meet. Why? Because unlike so many others, I am blessed with the opportunity to wake up each and every day and do what I truly love for a living. It's an amazing blessing made possible by those closest to me...especially my wife & Studio Manager Maria who is my rock and number one supporter along with my two sons. I've got a huge responsibility to set a great example for my kids and that's my motivation to be the best that I can be. Second only to my family, photography is my life.

Jesse Rinka Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Jesse and his partner Maria were incredibly responsive, communicative, and personable. They answered all of our questions leading up to the big day with ease, even as we navigated the uncertainty of planning a wedding during the pandemic in 2020. On the wedding day itself, Jesse's calm and professional demeanor helped keep us relaxed and focused amidst the chaos. The photos they captured are truly stunning - beautiful, unique, and timeless, with a clear passion for their craft. We've since used Jesse for additional lifestyle photo sessions, and he continues to be a joy to work with, making the process seamless and enjoyable every time. We cannot recommend Jesse Rinka Photography highly enough.

  • Serves Cross River, NY

I have loved doing makeup since I was in middle school, always an artist and creative and when I discovered makeup it seemed The world aligned. My passion for people and sharing experiences with my clients and my love for makeup makes this my favorite thing I’ve ever done. My relationships with my clients is my favorite part.

Essie was my makeup artist for my June 22, 2024 wedding, and I simply cannot recommend her enough. She is thoughtful, kind, and incredibly professional with her brides. Though she has done hundreds (or maybe even thousands?) of weddings, she took the time to personalize my look for ME, and to encourage me to be honest if I wanted any tweaks. Her energy is so calm and positive- the exact thing you need in a hectic bridal suite. She worked FAST and even kept us ahead of schedule- which I believe is unheard of for the wedding day! Her assistant Riley made skin prep a total dream, and many of my bridesmaids said it was the best professional makeup they've ever received. However, Essie became more than a makeup artist throughout my planning process. When our photographer needed to cancel, she saw my post in a bridal FB group and immediately texted me to send about 25 photography recs- following up to be sure I'd found someone. When I posted in that same group asking for help finding a sponsor for our country club venue, Essie jumped in to help. She went WAY above and beyond what a vendor does for a client, and instead acted as a genuine friend. It's hard to fully put into words how wonderful she is, but booking with Essie is a no-brainer.

Photography has been a passion of mine since my childhood. I studied at the school of visual arts studying graphic design and attended the Fashion Institute of Technology to study photography. From the day I held my first camera in my hands I knew that I wanted to spend the rest of my life looking through a lens. I started taking pictures of wildlife and landscapes, nature is beautiful and that's where I developed my eye for composition and lighting. Also, patience, waiting for that perfect sunset to capture the most beautiful picture.

Steve did our engagement and wedding day photos. We were very happy with everything. We love the pictures he took of us. Steve was able to capture our most candid and intimate moments that really showcased our love for each other and embodied our relationship. Steve was very professional, laid back, knowledgeable and easy to work with, which is exactly what you need in what could be a nerve wracking day. We have so many great shots and it’s hard to pick our favorites. Thank you Steve! Job well done!

Based in the Pocono Mountains, We Do Events offers custom wedding planning in the Hudson Valley, Poconos, and Catskills. Wherever you dream of saying “I do,” we’ll make sure your event is not just picturesque, it’s planned — and pulled off — to perfection. When our founder, Jilian Becker, was planning her own destination wedding in the Poconos back in 2016, she noticed a gap in the wedding industry in this pocket of the northeast. So, she decided to fill it. Now a top-rated, award-winning company, We Do Events serves couples in the Hudson Valley, Catskills, and Poconos region. We’re like the wedding guide we wish we’d had — and now you do.

Our work with Jilian began a year or so before the wedding, and we could have never predicted the level of help she would give us in getting ready for the day. From her checklists, to check-in emails and Zoom calls, she was always able to make great recommendations about vendors and timelines, and she would do research for us as well. She even put together a mood board that helped us pick out florals and bridal party looks. She is helpful, supportive, and fun... We look at it as some of the best money we spent on the process. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner, and although she wasn't our day-of coordinator (as our coordinator was employed through the venue), we're sure she would have been great at that as well.

Thank you for taking time to visit. We take much care in providing beautiful, honest photos which represent the true moments of your day and will be cherished for generations. Creating an exeptional experience is very important to us and we look forward to meeting you.

When my husband and I started looking for a photographer for our wedding, we determined early on that we wanted someone who was professional, down-to-earth, easy to work with, and great at what they do. We also specifically wanted timeless, effortless, and natural photos. After speaking to about 5 photographers and not feeling like we found our match, we came across Rich’s work. We immediately fell in love with his photojournalistic approach, his timeless work, and the way in which he captured the raw, authentic, and genuine parts of a wedding day. After our first conversation with Rich, it was clear that we found the photographer we were hoping to find! Rich is not only incredible at what he does behind the camera, but he is also a wonderful person to the core. It was clear that Rich genuinely cares about his couples and wants to do everything he can to make them feel beautiful, comfortable, and happy. Communicating with Rich was easy and stress free. He responded to each email with enthusiasm and professionalism. He never made me feel like I was a bother or that I was asking too many questions, which meant so much to me as a bride. He helped us plan everything from our wedding day to our engagement shoot, offered his opinions on locations, and followed up with us the week leading up to our engagement shoot it as the weather was not looking great! Rich greeted us with a big smile, and made us feel comfortable immediately. It was as if we were catching up with a lifelong friend even though we had just met. I’ll never forget driving away from our engagement shoot and saying to my husband, “I am so grateful that we have Rich as our photographer!”. He made the experience fun and effortless, which only made us more confident in our decision to have him as our wedding photographer. About a month leading up to our wedding, Rich communicated with us often and scheduled phone calls with us so that we could go over the flow of the day. This saved us a great deal of time and stress the day of the wedding, and allowed him to do what he does, which is capture the organic, raw, beautiful moments. Rich took the time to ask us which shots we wanted specifically, and he was sure to capture them. He and Greg both brought such a sense of calm the day of our wedding which was so appreciated. They reassured us that everything was going well, and directed us in a way that made it feel natural. They captured all of the moments we wanted, but never made us feel like we were following a script or “plan”. My husband and I could not believe how beautifully they captured our wedding day! If you are looking for a photographer that is talented, kind, supportive, and professional, you need to schedule a call with Rich. I will cherish the photos he and Greg captured on our wedding day for the rest of my life. My husband and I knew we wanted photos that were raw and authentic, and that is exactly what we got. To say we are thrilled with Ciro Photography would be an understatement! We wish we could do it all again, and find ourselves reliving the day through the photos Rich captured at least once a week! Rich, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your beautiful work. We are so grateful for you and Greg, and will cherish our photos forever. We HIGHLY recommend them to any newly engaged couple!

Factoria is a wonderful option if you are looking for an all-inclusive package in an industrial feeling venue outside of the city, with beautiful views of the Hudson River, and amazing food and drinks.The layout facilitates a lovely flow from arrival to ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception. Megan, the venue coordinator, was on top of everything and very involved in the planning and execution of our wedding. She is clearly experienced and helped everything move along seamlessly. She was available for questions and also offered input on various aspects of the wedding. Our entire experience from beginning to end was amazing: from touring the space for the first time, going in to the restaurant for our tasting, up until the day after our wedding when we picked up the leftover food that they packed for us without us even having to ask, along with all of our decorations and leftover items that they held for us. The food was amazing, as were the drinks and the service. The servers were very attentive to us as well as friendly and engaging. Our guests enjoyed everything, especially the concept of the lazy susan at each table for family style dinner. We are so happy we did not have to worry about very much Meghan and her team took care of everything, and even the chef at the tasting was incredibly involved, offering to tweak some of the menu items for us to accommodate for our culture and dietary concerns, and really make sure that our menu was what we wanted for our guests and for ourselves and our vision of our wedding. We would recommend anyone have their wedding here.

Hi, I'm Apple. At Pome, we use the meaning of flowers to amplify your ethos by weaving vibrant colors, yummy smells, and beauty into your event. We believe that the simple act of sharing flowers raises a vibrational frequency and creates the feeling of connection within ourselves and to each other.

Pome did an absolutely incredible job bringing an extra level of beauty to our special day. We had booked a raw space, and Stef took the time to come by, truly get a feel for the space and listen to our needs. The first thing was the space itself - Stef and her team helped elevate the industrial space into a place we were excited to celebrate our special day. They did the rafters above, and most importantly, the altar behind us. Their work was the whole backdrop of our wedding and we couldn’t have been happier. When the centerpieces came out, we were totally blown away. They were thoughtful, well-composed and balanced and added an elevated warm and classy level to our celebration. The bouquets and side arrangements were also incredible. Thank you Stef and the Pome team - you truly took our special day to the next level. It meant a lot that you took the time to listen to what we were looking for, and exceeded every single one of our expectations. Any bride and groom would be lucky to book you for their event.

Hi there! I’m Karina, an architect turned floral designer dabbling in all things daisies and more! My enthusiasm for floristry began in Brooklyn as a way to express my love for nature and design, but mostly so I could bring color, life, and beauty into my apartment on, you guessed it, Dean Street! Now, Dean Street Daisies has blossomed into a full-service floral and event design studio on the Hudson River in Irvington, NY where I live and create in a converted chapel with my husband and two cats!

We had Dean Street Daisy do a bouquet making activity for a bachelorette party and it was one of the best parts of our weekend. Her set up was beautiful, her instructions and attention to everyone was beyond perfect, she taught us about bouquet composition, color composition, she even brought wine to taste as we made our bouquets, and she tailored all the flowers and colors to go perfectly with our themed garden dinner party to follow! Highly highly highly recommend for any and all events. 15/10 stars
