Emily M. was a 10/10. We had a special, intimate, but highly detailed 190-person wedding at home. We had to bring in a ton of different vendors, change locations twice, and deal with very unpredictable weather. Emily was a total star – from the first planning call to hugging her goodbye at the end of the after party. Cannot recommend her highly enough!

There are wedding bands, and then there’s The Hook Club. The minute we heard them at one of their showcase experiences we knew we had found the purveyors of soul and energy that we were looking for. The Hook Club played a major role in making our wedding reception an unforgettable celebration. The energy they brought was simply electric and it’s no surprise that we received countless compliments from friends and family about how much fun they had. The band was engaging and created a vibrant atmosphere on the dance floor. Beyond their music the band also left us fun messages on our audio guestbook. This extra touch let us know that they aren’t just a band but a group that genuinely loves what they do and who they do it for.

A 16-year veteran of the NYC club scene. I collaborate closely with couples to create their unique musical experiences for themselves and their guests by delivering a Sophisticated Savoire-Faire of seamlessly blended hits from past decades to what's currently in vogue; citing T-40 Dance, House, IndiePop/Rock, Nu-Disko, Hip Hop, Funk, Soul, Disco, Latin and Reggae as some of my favorites.

Awarded Best of Zola
The short version of this review: if you want the music at your wedding to be awesome and exactly what YOU love to hear, and without cheesey emcee vibes, hire Marcus! Marcus did such an amazing job DJing our wedding, we couldn’t be more thrilled. He is extremely thoughtful with his work. He took careful note of my husband and my musical tastes and preferences, as well as the vibe of our wedding, instead of playing a standard tired playlist. Per our request, he blended in some Latin music seamlessly. The dance floor was full and lively all night long, exactly as we had hoped for! He played songs we hadn’t requested but that we love, leaving me wondering how he could have known so well what to play. He also respected our “do not play” list, as I found out multiple guests requested songs on it and he politely declined. Marcus is very thorough and organized which made working with him so easy- he was on top of all the details, order of events/cues, even reviewed proper name pronunciation with us in advance. The event manager at our venue said she loved working with him and was very impressed. Marcus has such a kind and warm personality, and a really special talent- we feel so lucky that he was part of our big day!

The Sanctuary on Roosevelt Island provided the dreamiest backdrop for our wedding last month! Their entire team went above and beyond for us on our big day. Our friends and family raved about the location, the ambiance, the food, the service. About an hour before our ceremony started, it began to pour outside- and we were meant to have an outdoor ceremony! My husband and I sat in our vintage taxi parked out front of the venue, and watched The Sanctuary staff run around in the torrential downpour to save our ceremony and move everything indoors- and the fact that the rain only put us about 15 minutes behind the original schedule?! I’m still not sure how they managed it. Would also like to send a special shout out to Amelia, who more recently joined the Sanctuary team as event coordinator- she was not part of the team when we first signed out contract, but she proved to be an invaluable resource to us on the day of the wedding. She is a fabulous addition! Alfonso gave us our first tour of the venue that made us fall in love with the space. Frank was so patient and kind and answered all of our questions- and even helped us accommodate a last minute addition guest who was originally too ill to attend our wedding but who luckily recovered well enough to be able to come. Thank you again to the Sanctuary team from the bottom of our hearts for helping make our wedding the most magical and special day of our life!

With over a decade of experience, we blend an editorial eye with documentary storytelling to create photographs that feel modern yet enduring. From intimate Central Park and NYC skyline weddings to romantic New Jersey garden celebrations and destination weddings worldwide.

Awarded Best of Zola
Rebeca and Andrew are not just incredible photographers, but they are also wonderful people who make their clients feel so comfortable. Do not hesitate to book Andrew and Rebeca for your wedding or your next photographed event. My husband and I were joking around about how Andrew and Rebeca felt like our friends after sharing all our special moments together, photographing our engagement photos and our first look the day of the wedding. Rebeca and Andrew create a calm, down to earth, and joyful environment during their shoots. They did a fantastic job making us feel comfortable in front of the camera- we were so happy that we did an engagement shoot with them, they taught us some tips and tricks for posing in front of the camera, and so we were thrilled with how our wedding photos turned out a few months later. Additionally, Rebeca and Andrew are professional, ask a fair price for their incredible work, and are quick to respond to all emails and messages. They made us feel calm, confident, and well taken care of throughout the entire wedding planning process. On your wedding day, you are spending so much time running around, staying on schedule, socializing, etc. It can get really busy and overwhelming. So, we learned that some of the more quiet and intimate moments happen when you are being photographed at your first look or before your guests arrive at your venue. As a result, you don’t just want skillful photographers at your wedding, you want great people who you enjoy spending time with. Overall, we could not have been more happy working with Rebeca and Andrew- in fact, we will miss them! We definitely plan to keep them in mind if we ever need a professional photographer in the future.

DJ Dan Fudim

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,400

Dan Fudim, a NYC-based DJ with over 10 years of experience, is renowned for his personalized entertainment. He began in nightclubs before starting his own DJ and Event business. Now a top DJ in NYC, he tailors his services to each event. As the Resident DJ at Raising Cane’s Times Square, he also offers photo booths and lighting for weddings, special occasions, and corporate events. Despite changes in his work, Dan is committed to delivering exceptional, memorable experiences, challenging norms with his innovative musical approach.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we booked Dan, I felt this incredible sense of calm. I’d been told by others, “Your DJ will just do whatever they want”, but I quickly learned that Dan is different. He listens, really listens, not just to what you say, but to the things you don’t even realize you’re communicating. He takes those details, both spoken and unspoken, and uses them to craft a wedding experience that feels so personal, you’d think he’s known you for years. Dan’s kindness is the kind you feel, not just in the way he treats you, but in the way he treats your day. He takes his job seriously because he understands it’s not just about music; it’s about moments. And he works tirelessly to protect those moments. There are countless things he does behind the scenes that you’ll never even know about, all to make sure your day runs smoothly and exactly how you dreamed. Our wedding was especially tricky as we were blending Italian and Egyptian traditions, and I wasn’t sure how to make it all flow naturally. I told Dan how important it was to represent both cultures equally while also capturing us as a couple. He didn’t just nod and say, “Got it.” He researched. He planned. He asked thoughtful questions. He made sure every transition made sense, every song had a purpose, and every moment felt intentional. With Dan, you’re not just getting a DJ. You’re getting a guide, a sounding board, and someone who genuinely has your best interest at heart. You can ask him about things that have nothing to do with music— timeline issues, vendor suggestions, tricky wedding-day logistics—and he’ll give you honest, experienced advice because he truly cares about the big picture, not just his part in it. On the day itself, Dan wasn’t just playing music. He was quietly orchestrating the energy of the room. He made sure our guests were always engaged, that the dance floor was never empty, and that the flow of the night matched our personalities. Guests couldn’t stop talking about how perfectly the music blended our two cultures and one friend was literally Shazamming song after song because every single track was that good. Also, if you’re debating about a photo booth, DO IT and book it through Dan. The quality was insane. Everyone loves a photo booth, but these were hands-down the best photo booth shots we’ve ever seen at a wedding. Other agree.Crisp, vibrant, and so much fun—our guests are still raving about them. Dan sends you all the photos taken throughout the night and my husband and I keep going through them. It’s so fun to see our guests having a great time. Dan wasn’t just our DJ. He was our advocate, our cheerleader, and our behind-the-scenes hero. If I could give him 100,000 stars, I would. If you’re lucky enough to have Dan Fudim available for your date, book him immediately. It will be the best wedding decision you make.

Justin was able to capture the true essence of ourselves in our wedding photos, to the point where we started tearing up just looking at them. We cannot recommend this BEAUTIFUL human enough.

Matty was perfect in his execution- never stealing the spotlight from the bride and groom and he didn’t sing and shout over the music which we appreciated! (That has a time and place but not for this wedding). He pulled together instrumentals for the ceremony and managed the artists and added musicians at the reception and it really brought out the celebratory vibe of the night.

Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. Summing up who I am in an "about me" is always difficult. What you must know: (1) I'm a nerd. If you want to talk video games, LOTR or Doctor Who, we HAVE to sit down for a bourbon or a coffee. (2) Yes, I will be out on that dance floor with you snapping away while joining in on the fun. And (3), while I'm a photographer first, supporting you during the planning process feels crucial to me - from building a timeline to having your back any way I can. Woman/LGBTQIA+ Owned

She was by our side throughout the entire process, even including on our wedding day, beyond just capturing the moment, she was helping guide us through the day. Mary was truly our favorite “vendor” that was part of our wedding day - we got excited every time we were going to talk to her ahead of our wedding and we were ecstatic when we finally got to meet her IRL - she is just such a cool & talented human!

Melissa was my hair and makeup stylist for my October 2025 wedding, and I honestly can’t say enough wonderful things about her. From the moment she arrived, she brought such calm, positive energy—it felt like having one of my closest friends by my side. She’s so easy to talk to and truly made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself. Melissa went above and beyond in every possible way. She didn’t just make sure my hair and makeup were perfect—she helped me into the car while it was raining, fluffed my dress train right before I walked down the aisle, and even took my furbaby for a quick walk before she left so we didn’t have to worry. Those thoughtful little things meant so much to me and my family. My mom and grandma couldn’t stop raving about how lovely she was! Having Melissa there on my wedding day was such a blessing. She’s professional, kind, and genuinely cares about her brides—it shows in everything she does. I’ll absolutely be hiring her again and recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will make you look and feel amazing inside and out. One more tip: Definitely do a bridal trial with her! I loved my look at the trial, but somehow on the wedding day she made me feel even more stunning. She’s truly the best.

When I came across Rebecca's website and portfolio I was immediately smitten. Her style was so beautiful and unique, and exactly what I was hoping to find for our wedding. One quick call with her and I knew she was our photographer. She was so warm and welcoming and we felt completely ourselves around her. We had FUN spending time with her for both our engagement and wedding photos. Aside from her amazing skills - she went ABOVE AND BEYOND to coordinate our engagement photos with us when we were living in California. She was the easiest choice we made and we love every photo she took for us. Cannot recommend her highly enough! - Chelsean Nick

Hello Beautiful! Do you need your make-up and hair done for your big day and want a little pampering at the same time? Look no further! Making you feel your best, so you look good the whole day and night long is my goal. I have been in the beauty business since 2012 and like to focus on enhancing natural beauty by accentuating your best facial features. But of course adding a little POP from time to time never hurts ;)

I immediately felt at ease sitting down in Denise's chair. From our first trial to my wedding day, her calm and cheerful demeanor instantly grounded me. I had a hard time figuring out exactly what I wanted, especially for my hair, and she was beyond patient with me. She is also extremely fast at texting and a very efficient communicator overall. After two trials and a ton of back and forth, she helped me figure out my dream hairstyle (that we hadn't even been able to find on Pinterest!) Denise just took my vision and invented what I wanted...it was magic! The makeup look she created for me was also absolutely perfect -- glowy yet natural. I wanted to look beautiful but still look myself. Lastly, she helped me find a second artist for my small bridal party as I got married in the morning so we would have all had to wake up super early for Denise to do everyone's look! I was stressed about figuring out the schedule and logistics and she made everything so easy. 10/10 would work with her again in a heartbeat and encourage anyone considering her for an NYC or NYC-area wedding!!!!

I'm Claire. I opened WedWell in 2014 after I had a terrible experience with the planner for my wedding (which is why I aim for a low stress, high fun planning environment). With over a decade of experience in events, it was time that I started helping couples through the wedding planning process. I love all things weddings: the couples, the venues, the uniqueness, the love, the families, the vows, the toasts, the dancing, the photo booths, the cake (well, any dessert really). I love working with all couples because I truly believe love is love. So let's get started!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you get the chance to have Claire work on your wedding, consider yourself lucky. Claire is a DREAM to work with and elevated our wedding beyond expectations. We came to her with a big ask: pull off a multi-day, inter-religious, multi-cultural wedding weekend in NYC. Claire more than delivered on both our Bangladeshi Gaye Holud and American wedding events. Her full planning service was the best wedding decision we made, hands down. Claire is well-connected in the industry because everyone she works with loves her. This helped us select top-quality vendors. Her 10 years of experience pulled through when she uncovered problematic vendor contract clauses that we initially overlooked. She led every site visit and asked important questions we wouldn’t have thought of. She kept us on track over the course of 14 months, so we didn’t rush or make hasty decisions as our wedding date approached. Planning with Claire was a great experience. She always returned our emails quickly and thoughtfully (and trust me, we emailed her A LOT). The fact that she is a part-time planner gave us no cause for concern. Her corporate experience came in handy for us as a working couple; we bonded over our love for spreadsheets and lists. Our Gaye Holud event in particular had many moving parts and vendors, but Claire swiftly kept track of everyone’s responsibilities. Her efforts helped uncover and resolve problems before the event took place. Claire is a creative force, too. She never planned a Bangladeshi event before, but gave us great ideas and solutions when we encountered a problem. Her flexibility and creativity is a large part of why we chose her as our planner. Day-of coordination was fantastic. Claire dealt with locked out vendors, missing items, and delayed timelines seamlessly. We were so impressed with how Claire handled every situation with poise, and it really made our day feel so much less stressful. A bonus? She captures amazing day-of content so you have photos and videos right away, the day after! If you’re looking for a wedding planner, we recommend Claire with flying colors. We could not have asked for anyone better!

I was a Covid Bride and I had planned and cancelled so many times. My mom decided to bring Ani in as we had become so exhausted from the experience. Ani is totally flipped the narrative she got me excited about being a bride again. She was beyond attentive leading up to the day and she has a total can do attitude. My wedding day was perfect and having Ani there to make sure things ran smoothly was priceless.
