10/10/10/10 would recommend Chris and Limitless Entertainment to DJ your wedding, birthday or any event requiring music. Chris was very professional, super fun to work with, and had a similar music style to our, which was a benefit to making our wedding the party that wanted to go all night long. As an audio technician in the entertainment industry, my expectations were really high, but his immediate professionalism and charisma in our initial interactions are what made me want to sign a contract with them. The communication was clear and concise throughout the whole process and he made the music at my husband and I's wedding a dream come true. I literally had so many friends and family say that they couldn't stop dancing all night and that this was the most fun that they've ever had at a wedding and it was all thanks to Chris and Limitless Entertainment! Thank you for making it a night we will remember for the rest of our lives!

Tracey Reynolds Floral Design, Inc 

5.0

Colonia, NJ
  • Florist

Creating textured florals with movement, whimsy, and intention we work closely with our couples to guide them in the world of flowers, design, and styling, bringing their vision to life. Flower weave feelings of joy and celebration, they set the mood that is your love. Allow us to tell your story through their beauty.

We received a recommendation from two of our family friends who had her design their weddings florals in 2012. Not only did they rave about their flowers, they both said how easy and wonderful Tracey was to work with - and man-oh-man, were they right! From the moment my mom and I met with Tracey, we felt connected to her. Not only did she understand my vision, it was clear she understood me which truly makes the difference. We left our meeting feeling like we just had coffee with a talented friend, and when we received our proposal, we knew it was true. Tracey is transparent, communicative, caring, and creative. Moreover, she’s collaborative and works hard to make your dreams come true. The bouquets were the exact “organic with structure” shape we spoke about, and our centerpieces were the perfect geo-rustic-Scandinavian-chic dream we had in mind (but better and SO unique). There was one adjustment I wanted made in real-time to our centerpieces, so I told her and she didn’t blink - she made the change immediately without question. Our fireplace mantels were beyond romantic with the exact votives we saw online, the room light looked incredible with the greenery she crafted, and our cake was EXACTLY (I mean EXACTLY) what we wanted - the prettiest cake ever because of Tracey! The chuppah that Tracey created for my husband and me was more beautiful than we could have ever imagined - and she was up against the odds of a windy and chilly fall day. I honestly could talk about our chuppah for days - it was the prettiest chuppah I’ve ever seen in my entire life! Tracey’s compassion is also shown through her work. We told her about my husband’s mother who passed away when he was young. We wanted to include daisies to honor her. Not only did she create an INCREDIBLE memorial table with flourishing daisies, she also put daisy pins in his and his father’s boutonnieres. If you’re looking to work with someone who is passionate, create, and has a huge heart, Tracey is your gal! She really brought our vision to life and then some!

Laura was such a pleasure to work with! She was very responsive and delivered our vision better than I even imagined it. She wrote a card with each flower’s meaning which was very thoughtful, along with including my late mom’s favorite flowers in my bouquet (she took time to find them because they weren’t in season & hard to find!). Her style of florals is very natural and wild, which is exactly what I wanted. Will use her again for any special occasion for sure!

Awarded Best of Zola
I can’t tell you how happy I am that I found Amalia and Jenna from butterfly effect weddings!! I purchased the Day-Of Coordinator service, hoping that I’d be able to take the decorating, last minute organization, and vendor communication off my plate after everything was planned and booked. But these two experts did this, and SO much more. They helped create and edit the whole wedding timeline, took over communication with vendors starting 7 days BEFORE the wedding, put together my very complicated favor table without a hitch, offered to create signage, ran the music for our ceremony and cocktail hours, and they even did a last minute transport of my wedding bouquets and boutonierres because they were delivered to the wrong building. But most importantly, they made me feel like I could relax and fully enjoy the busy wedding day, and be super present with all my guests, family, friends, and husband. Finally, they just had the best, calmest, most positive and encouraging vibe/energy. I would highly recommend Amalia and Jenna for ANY and ALL of your event planning and coordination needs. THANK YOU!

Hello, We're Lisa & Pieter! We're a South Africa and New Jersey Wedding & Lifestyle Photographer Duo who love capturing all things love! We met working on cruise ships, traveled the world together, fell in love, and now are photographing beautiful love stories together!

Awarded Best of Zola
We are absolutely over the moon with our experience working with Lisa Blanche! From the very beginning, Lisa and her husband Pieter made us feel like more than just clients—they made us feel cared for, celebrated, and completely at ease. We are NOT naturals at posing for photos and were nervous going into this process, but they changed our whole POV and made it so fun for us. They’re so warm and fun to be around. They work with you and laugh with you. Their calm energy and kindness on our wedding day made such a difference, and they felt like part of the group with us. We’ve only received our preview photos so far, and they are stunning. Our friends and family can’t stop talking about them—every single shot feels like a piece of art! Lisa emphasizes they capture the moments, not just photos, and that could not be more true. The photos are so real and full of life and emotion—we already know the full album (which we’ll get in a few weeks!) is going to blow us away. Lisa and Pieter are total pros— organized, and skilled beyond words—but it’s their personalities and presence that make them truly unforgettable. We will actually miss them and hope to stay in touch! They even sent us the sweetest little care package when we first booked with them— just the best people ever. We didn’t book videography, but our in-laws did, and Justin (their amazing videographer) created a complimentary engagement video sample for us—and it was so beautiful. He was just as friendly and kind as the rest of the team, and we honestly wish we had added him to our wedding package too. She also brings her polaroid camera along and gets such fun candid photos. If you’re thinking about hiring a photographer for your wedding day — hire Lisa Blanche! You’ll get stunning photos, but more than that, you’ll get to work with some of the most lovely and thoughtful people out there. We’re endlessly grateful to them for capturing our favorite memories so beautifully. We are so happy- Thank you Lisa and Pieter 3

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!

From the very first consultation to the previews and image gallery delivery, she was professional, responsive, and genuinely passionate about her work. On the wedding day, Jamie had an incredible eye for detail and managed to capture every meaningful moment. She made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, even the camera-shy family members. The entire process felt effortless, and the photos are absolutely stunning! Our wedding day went by in a blur, but thanks to Jamie we have these beautiful, authentic images to look back on for the rest of our lives!

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!

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
Carlo is the BEST wedding videographer you could ask for. He was absolutely amazing to work with and he captured our day in such a unique and beautiful way. The videos we got from him were absolutely stunning, edited in a way that is completely unique to any wedding videos I've seen. A one-minute teaser that's perfect for our social media pages, an amazing five-minute highlight reel (also great for social media) and a full one hour film of our entire day captured in beautiful high-definition. My wife cannot stop watching all of our videos over and over again. From spectacular high quality video, drone footage, and even Super8 footage mixed in the final videos. I loved the Super8 footage so much that we added on an additional video to our package that featured just Super8 footage that Carlo edited to music we picked out-- which was definitely worth it! Carlo's editing and shooting skills are superb but his passion and enthusiasm to fully understand our love story and how we wanted our special day to be captured is what made him worth every penny. We couldn't be happier with the finished product, and we couldn't be more grateful to Carlo for his amazing work.

Growing up immersed in her art has profoundly shaped my own approach to photography. As a photographer, I'd love to capture the journey of two people in love, telling the genuine and touching story of their life together. I strive to create images that convey heartfelt narratives and reflect the true essence of your relationship and the moments you share.

We had the absolute best time with Momo! We booked her for our wedding in May and did our engagement shoot the other day. Momo is an incredibly professional, talented, and kind individual. From the moment we started the shoot she was fully focused on us and capturing our best moments. She guided us through as this was the first time my fiancé and I were ever professionally photographed, and there was no awkward period, we instantly felt comfortable in front of her camera. We ended up having a rainy day and said let’s do it anyway, and had a great time. We got our photos back and WOW! They are better than we could have ever imagined! Momo took our vision and went above and beyond to make it a reality. Our photos feel like she captured intimate moments of our lives, in a cinematic and romantic way. And we got SO MANY GOOD ONES!

I seriously can’t put into words how amazing she was and cannot recommend her enough. She was great to have around on our wedding day and I am so happy with our photos. The groomsmen didn't have their act together, even though she provides a detailed schedule, and she was totally chill about it and was like no biggie I'll be back in 30. My fiancé commented on how awesome she was (didn't comment on any other vendors) and one of his groomsmen did too (see first pic). This was before we even saw the pics and they turned out better than I could have imagined. At one point I told her I was done taking pics I wanted to go talked to people and dance, so was a little worried if we got enough shots, but was blown away with the results. I also told her I didn't care that much about getting ready pics but wanted a lot of guest candids and she delivered. She also got way more getting ready pics than I even expected. We didn't want to spend money on a second photographer and she was fine with that and got all the pics we wanted on her own. She truly listened to what we wanted and was incredible at communication and organization. On top of that, she is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met, and truly a calming presence during all of the chaos on wedding day. I feel sooo lucky we found her.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were worried we wouldn’t be able to find a photographer who could capture everything we wanted and truly fit our needs. Then we found Shelby—and from that moment on, every worry disappeared. We cannot recommend Shelby highly enough for all your wedding photography needs. From the very beginning, she stood out—not just for her stunning work we first saw on Instagram, but for the connection she built with us right after our initial call. We knew instantly we had found our photographer. Shelby’s meticulous planning, sharp attention to detail, and vibrant, fun energy made the entire experience an absolute joy from start to finish. She went above and beyond, not only capturing breathtaking images of our wedding day but also taking the time to truly get to know us as a couple. Our engagement shoot was the perfect warm-up. Meeting Shelby beforehand, getting comfortable in front of the camera, and building that trust meant that on our wedding day, it didn’t feel like we were meeting a vendor—it felt like we were welcoming a friend. On the big day itself, Shelby, her assistant, and her videographer were a dream team: professional, punctual, proactive, and seamless in their coordination. They helped everything flow effortlessly, and we both agreed they were hands down our favorite vendors to work with. The photos speak for themselves, but beyond that, Shelby gave us an experience we’ll never forget. My wife and I kept saying how incredibly lucky we were to have her as our photographer. If you’re searching for someone who will deliver jaw-dropping photos while making the process fun, stress-free, and deeply personal, Shelby is the one.

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!
