Awarded Best of Zola
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 hired Skylark for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception music and were so happy with the quality of performance that was provided. We knew we wanted a live music component, but were working on a smaller budget, so Justin worked with us so to have a duo present for our ceremony and cocktail hour, followed by him serving as DJ for our reception. He was incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and took our personalities and interests into consideration when finalizing the playlists for our special day. We are so happy with Skylark, and can't recommend them enough!

Naked Soul was recommended by a colleague who described them as the best band he's ever seen - and we could not have been happier with them as our wedding band. Tony went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and to make a smaller space work (we got married at a restaurant in NYC). He spent a lot of time getting to know my husband and me, and understanding our wants and needs for our wedding. The band is extremely talented, they have great energy, and it's clear that they truly enjoy performing together. Highly, highly recommend.

Nelson and his team photographed our May wedding in Plattekill, NY and the experience was absolutely extraordinary! They were professional while also personable making the experience very relaxed and natural. Prior to the big day, Nelson was very communicative and helped design a schedule meeting my interests of different shots and perfected the timing. On the day of, Nelson and his team eased right in without a hitch bouncing from one location to the next and corralling us and family seamlessly while staying on time. There wasn't a single moment of concern or stress during photos! Now to gush about the product!! Nelson and his team caught the most PERFECT moments. My husband and I expressed early on that we preferred candid or organic shots and not so much the typical couple poses. And I must say, Nelson got it right! It brought us right back to the day when we were looking through the huge inventory of shots. Brought tears of joy and gratitude. Lets not forget the video!! My GOD!! It was truly an emotionally provoking video and definitely a fan favorite with family. To Nelson and his team, Dave and I couldn't be happier with all your hard work. We will cherish the moments you captured for a lifetime!

Whether it is a family photoshoot or your wedding day, we will laugh, have fun, and create beautiful memories that will be captured for you to look back on!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Siobhan to shoot our engagement pictures and wedding was hands down the best decision we made. Siobhan is efficient, organized, friendly, and knows how to ease nerves and help you truly enjoy your day. After our initial call, I felt like I had known her for years, and knew she was the absolute best person to bring our wedding vision to life. And she without a doubt knocked it out of the park! The engagement shoot allowed us to get to know one another, her working style, and she made it fun! She posed us in a way that made us feel so comfortable, and each image turned out incredible. Doing this shoot before our wedding only further eased our nerves on the big day! On wedding day, she had Heather as her co-shooter, and both were a joy to work with. Siobhan came to the girls suite and immediately went to work, keeping us on time and really capturing the fun morning we were having. Once we got to the venue, we were on a pretty tight schedule, but you'd never know with how Siobhan and Heather were keeping things on track. We were able to get all of our family, wedding party, and portrait shots done early, so we could enjoy our full cocktail hour and evening. She didn't miss a beat and was there to capture any random pictures we wanted her to, as well as alllll of the candids to truly capture the love and fun of the evening. We received a TON of sneak peeks literally the next day, and every single one of them was incredible. She isn't just your photographer that day - she will be your friend too, ensuring you look and feel your best. If you are considering her for your wedding, it will be the best decision you will make!

Essie Cohen Makeup LLC 

5.0

  • Beauty professional
  • Serves Thornwood, 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.

I have so much to say, but I will try keep it brief, Steve was simply AMAZING! He help us define what we wanted, especially since we were not always sure of what that looked like. He held our hands and guided us to our perfect vision. He listened, he advised, and more importantly he knew when to step back and let us define our day.... The he delivered it to us, Such Amazing Pictures, THANK YOU, Steve DiSalvatore Photography!

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. We were given a personal “bridal attendant” who followed us around all day and attended to any needs we had that came up- like holding my bouquet during photos, getting us fresh drinks, grabbing some items from the bridal suite. All of our guests were telling us how impressed they were by the level of service and consideration they received from all the staff. Everyone was kind, professional, and in great spirits. The scenery. The venue space at MB&YC is truly RIGHT on the water! It is so incredibly gorgeous. The cocktail hour is on a beautiful deck over the water. The reception is in a ballroom with giant windows facing the water. The space does not need much more decoration to feel special. It is elegant and special, yet practical, home-y, and not at all stuffy. The food. We were so impressed by the food. 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! We can’t speak highly enough about our special day here!

JUST THE MELODY BAND (JTM) is an all-star cast featuring a Grammy nominee and voices featured in tv/film and theatre. 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!!

  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $2,000

Nestled down a quiet, tree-lined road in Chappaqua, Crabtree’s Kittle House Restaurant & Inn is a unique estate that transports all who visit to a rich, elegant past. Join us for a taste of Old New York, where unparalleled hospitality and service meet a rich tradition of excellent food & wine. As we are committed to farm-to-table cuisine, we are continually looking for ways to improve our sustainability. We believe that these efforts go hand-in-hand — it’s a way of living we enjoy and encourage with our guests. As we support our local community farmers and producers, our footprint lessens, our local economy benefits, & the quality of our products is guaranteed much higher.

(Long review but worth it... trust me) Not sure if a wedding could ever be called "stress-free" but I'm tempted to say.... it basically was. I would never be able to say that if it weren't for everyone at Crabtree's: Kim, Leo, the Barbaras, everyone. Kim was there for us during the planning every step of the way. From the beginning, she was easy to reach and never more than an email away to answer my millions of questions. Furthermore, her expertise was extremely helpful in helping us to complete our vision. We were planning this wedding based off of the little we've seen at other weddings and a lot of Pinterest, but Kim has been doing this for years and knows exactly how to make a vision into a reality. Leo, our maitre'd was phenomenal as well. He was there every step of the day, making sure it went smoothly. He was even there to help our toddler flower girls get down the aisle when they were, well.... being toddlers lol. If we needed something, I'd turn around and he was there. Even when we didn't know we needed something, he took the initiative to make sure we were comfortable. Like when he realized we didn't get back to our dinner right away he brought them back to make sure it didn't get cold. Or when he realized we barely ate our dinner, he made sure we had some food to eat when everything was over. He is incredible thoughtful and amazing at what he does. We didn't need for anything because we had Leo by our side. The food.... Let's be real, a lot of wedding food/catering hall's food is... meh. Not at Crabtree's! If you read a little about them, you'll see that they take pride in their food. Unlike a lot of venues, where the food at the tasting is delicious but then the day of is lacking (in both taste and presentation), that was not the case. The food was JUST as delicious and well-presented as it was at the tasting. Our guests were very pleased with the food, even the biggest food snobs in attendance. I have friends still (we got married 7 months ago) telling me how they wish they could go back to our cocktail hour for some snacks! The space.... Not much to say other than GORGEOUS! Minimal decor is necessary because the outdoor and indoor space are beautiful as is. If you're fortunate to have good weather like we did, the garden is beautiful, especially with the changing leaves in autumn. So many guests have told me how this was one of the most beautiful weddings they've been too. The value... Weddings are rarely cheap, especially if you have a specific vision of that day. What I've learned is that if you're looking within a certain price range, and something is a little bit above, take a look at what they're offering in that price. See if there are ways to shave off a few dollars per person. Initially, we thought Crabtree's would be above our budget but when we looked at what they were offering and some of the options they offered to save some money, we were getting far more than other venues we had looked at. Do yourself a favor, take a visit to Crabtree's, sit down with Kim, and you'll see the value in what they are offering. We are not rich by any means but this was worth every one of our hard-earned pennies. Crabtree's and the people there will forever have a special place in our hearts. I cannot recommend them enough!

Factoria at Charles Point is a grand waterfront wedding event venue located in Peekskill, New York. This 34,000-square-feet event space includes a dance floor, a private catering hall, and a large balcony deck which is ideal for large gatherings. The venue is also conveniently located near the Metro North’s Hudson Line, which provides easy access for your out-of-town guests.

We had the best experience with Factoria and our coordinator, Megan! We were able to host our rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, and after party using different settings around the venue. Megan was a great resource throughout the planning process and open and honest throughout. She made sure everything went perfectly all weekend, making sure we had time to slow down and truly enjoy the day and weekend despite how busy we were. The food and drinks were incredible during the rehearsal dinner, cocktail hour, and the reception. Service was great and the staff were not only attentive to us but to our guests as well. We truly had the best experience. The whole team at Factoria gave us the most amazing wedding weekend (we wish we could go back and do it all over again!)

From ideation to execution, our seasoned team manages every facet of your event with unrivaled expertise and a commitment to perfection. Our passion for creating unforgettable experiences, coupled with meticulous attention to detail, enables us to tailor every element to your specifications and exceed expectations.

I had a great experience working with Charisa to execute my vision . The check-ins throughout the planning process were always well timed and exactly as thorough as we wanted and needed them to be at each juncture. Charisa was especially helpful in providing us a timeline months before my event to keep me on track with all of the little things that may otherwise have added up and led to last minute stress – instead, all was easy breezy. We cherished the tips given from Charisa because there were plenty of things we never would have thought of, and Charisa was always several steps ahead of us in addressing them and/or flagging any concerns related to our plans. Charisa was our point-person on the day, and I’m not sure she could have done a better job had she spent every moment up to the event planning with us! It was unbelievable to watch her work: From set-up, to coordinating vendors, to orchestrating the flow of the event, to the extra running when she could see that we needed it – the list goes on and on and on. If you’re looking for an event planner that will help reduce the stress of the planning process, and of its execution, look no further!!

Whitby Castle

Rye, NY
  • Venue
  • Up to 250 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $9,500
  • Open house

Whitby Castle boasts a striking similarity to the details of the original Whitby Abbey in England, including some of the original Abbey stones. From the charm and romantic details of the architecture to the delicious food and drinks, and exceptional staff and service, we want to exceed all of your expectations.

Whitby Castle in Rye, NY is the absolute best & most perfect place for a wedding & we very highly recommend it as your wedding venue! We got married in March 2024 on a Saturday afternoon at Whitby & it was better than we ever could have imagined thanks to the breathtaking venue & all the amazing managers & staff. We looked at 10 wedding venues in Tri-state area before finding Whitby, & we knew we had to get married there the minute we saw it. First was the gorgeous castle & grounds (flawlessly manicured lawns on Rye Golf club & striking views of LI Sound), & how the venue provided accommodations for all weather types. Next was the wedding package, which included everything needed & was the best price for all options; we couldn’t find a better price anywhere. From our first meeting w/ Niki, the Catering Sales Manager at Whitby, we knew we made the right choice. Niki handled everything w/ the venue throughout the process, including catering, vendors, amenities & all options available through Whitby. Niki took the time to get to know us & thoroughly explained the numerous elements to consider when planning our wedding. She made us feel as if she genuinely cared about us & our wedding (because she did). We later met w/ the Ops Manager, Ralph, about 3 weeks before the wedding & he was just as awesome. Ralph had all the particulars laid out for every aspect of our wedding & provided a comprehensive timeline & wedding plan. Niki & Ralph were incredibly professional & knowledgeable, & also exceedingly responsive & accommodating. Weather was no concern on our wedding day because of how Whitby operates. They have complete & functional outdoor heating throughout the wraparound patio that hosted much of cocktail hour, despite it being high 50. We had wonderful sun on morning of our wedding, but it was windy & our ceremony would be on colder side in afternoon. We did not want our guests to sit in the cold, so we had an indoor wedding, & it was beyond stunning. The magnificent arch windows in the reception hall gave us astonishing light & scenic views for the ceremony. Regardless of weather, they set up for both options, to have our wedding inside or outside. We thought this was amazing considering how unpredictable weather can be. Some venues tend to have multiple weddings to maximize space, but we appreciated that Whitby treated us as the main event. In addition to astounding views & spectacular customer service, the entrées & various food courses were outstanding. I am not sure which our guests raved about more, the delectable food or marvelous views. We also have nothing but phenomenal things to say about Rosa, the bridal attendant at Whitby. Rosa was exceptionally attentive & helpful throughout the day. Niki, Ralph, Rosa, & our maître d', Gabriel, were all extremely organized & prepared for every scenario. There were so many moving parts & minute details involved in our wedding, but Gabriel was so on top of everything & made it a day to remember. The service was impeccable & all Whitby staff were tremendously kind & helpful. Nearly all our guests told us how it was not only the most beautiful & fun wedding they have ever been to, but the best party. Whitby gave us a wedding beyond our dreams. We couldn’t be happier w/ our wedding & we know it was all because of the venue & their fantastic team. We very highly recommend Whitby Castle as your wedding venue!

Every room is more beautiful than the next and the west wing where our reception was held is jaw dropping. If you love a vintage, dark wood and classic vibe- this is the venue for you. Shaun, who runs the show and executes perfection, is the BEST. From the first tour of the venue to the day of she made sure my vision came to life and I cannot thank her and her staff enough.

  • Serves Thornwood, NY

I created We Do Events in 2016 after planning my own wedding from across the country. I realized that planning a wedding can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be. I have ten years of experience in project management, and a slight obsession with details and spreadsheets. As a wedding planner, I strive to save my couples time, money, and stress.

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.
