Skylark Music 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Esopus, NY

Jesse and Justin have been playing music together since they met performing in a band at Disneyland in 2001. After moving to Beacon, NY around the same time, it made sense to start an official wedding music business to share their love of music with some of the many happy couples getting married in the Hudson Valley. One thing they love about playing music for weddings is the variety that is required of them. Every gig is different and they all happen on one of the happiest days of the clients' lives!

Awarded Best of Zola
Jesse was amazing at our wedding and we cannot recommend his service more. He was incredibly professional and responsive over email, and respected our music requests. When the wedding day came around, he kept our guests entertained during cocktail hour and transitioned seamlessly to our dinner service. Further, when he discovered there was an antique piano in our venue (which we didn't mention to him since the venue told us it wasn't tuned or working), he asked permission to get it running and used it instead of his keyboard. This made for even better ambiance and photos and we were very impressed at how quickly he adapted. We can confidently recommend Jesse and Skylark Music for any wedding and are very thankful to them making our day so special!

After being in a wedding party that had used Annalise and Co, I knew I wanted them for my wedding! Fran and her team were absolutely amazing!! Each lady on the team was so personable and extremely nice! When getting my bridal hair done, Fran had made a suggestion to switch it up a little bit from the trial due to the amount of wind and boy am I so happy we did!! My hair, as well as the other girls hair stayed PERFECT all day long (some until the next morning!) The lady's who did the makeup did an incredible job! Each girl looked beyond stunning; everyone looked so natural and didn't smear at all in the sun or from all the dancing! I am so extremely happy with their services!

We found Tyler at a wedding expo and I’m sooo glad we did! We originally didn’t want a videographer but seeing his work at the expo, guided us to picking Tyler. He is very professional, walks you through the process, makes you comfortable and worked amazing with our photographer who he’s never met. The video is mind blowing and I watch it every other day.

Blend It Like Bekah

  • Team of 1
  • Starts at $145
  • Serves Esopus, NY

My name is Bekah Polonsky and I am a bridal makeup and hair artist with a lifelong love for beauty and creativity. I trained at the Makeup Academy by Nina Mua, where I honed my technique, deepened my knowledge of skin tones and textures, and learned how to create looks that last through happy tears and dance-floor moments alike. My style is all about enhancing what makes you feel your best. I love creating looks that are fresh, timeless, and completely tailored to your personality. My goal is to make you feel confident, radiant, and totally yourself when you walk down the aisle.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment I connected with Bekah, I could tell that we would work perfectly together. Bekah's clear dedication to her craft, her expertise, and of course, her incredibly positive demeanor made her the clear choice. Bekah communicated clearly with me from the initial inquiry email up until we were scheduling start time for wedding day. She was incredibly flexible with dates and times for the makeup trial, with adding in my grandmother when she arrived last minute for the wedding from outside the US, and was open to feedback when it came to final looks and any adjustments that needed to be made. Bekah is also skilled in hair and was able to assist with touch ups/adjustments. She was an absolute lifesaver when I was searching for a hair stylist for the big day, her experience and connections in the wedding industry really came through and found someone that was just as flexible and enjoyable to work with, who also happened to be in my price range for services! Bekah's positive demeanor helped keep me calm and cool on wedding day when I was stressed about a million and one things, always giving a laugh when needed and reassurance. She truly made me feel the most beautiful I ever have in my whole life and my look lasted well into the evening, even after dancing and sweating for hours! My mother and the rest of my party had such a great experience as well, everyone looked so wonderful, especially since my mother was a bit hesitant to have her makeup done since she doesn't typically use anything other than lipstick. I hope there's a chance for me to have Bekah's services again because she was just oh so incredible! You truly could not go wrong with Bekah and her services for your wedding day 3

Highly recommend working with Heather at Cullen Creations. I had a very specific image of what I wanted, and Heather patiently worked with me to make it a reality. She had also worked at our venue before (Full Moon Resort), which made the process much simpler. I really appreciated her consideration for our budget, and she had lots of creative ideas for ways to save money while staying true to the vision. Heather was also very open to our DIY ideas, and happily worked with us to incorporate our handmade items (table numbers, signage, etc). Our Hindu ceremony required a large platform and mandap, and Heather was the only vendor we could find in the Catskills who was able to provide one. The wooden frame, handmade by her husband, was exactly what we pictured. Thank you again Heather!!

You know that all encompassing feeling when you’re revisiting a vivid memory?

That magic is what I hope to capture as your photographer. It’s my job to hold those moments in time so that they don’t have to fade. You’ll forever be able to revisit the moment, see the exact way they smiled, revisit that incredible sunset, relive the memory and turn back time.

Where do I even begin with Jess? I had the pleasure of working with her some time ago, and when it came to choosing someone for our special day, I couldn’t have picked anyone better. Her work is absolutely impeccable, but beyond that, she’s one of the most thoughtful and caring people you’ll ever meet. She made the entire process so easy for us and truly became a highlight of our wedding planning. Jess captured both our engagement photos and wedding photos, and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. If you’re looking for a photographer, stop now she’s one of the best in the business.

Eddie was so easy to be around that it felt like he was a friend who just happened to be taking photos rather than a professional we hired to be there. We never felt rushed or stressed, he gives clear and easy direction, and he even learned guest's names (and instruction in another language!) to help make everyone feel comfortable. He was patient and able to maintain control even when our large group was easily distracted. We had multiple calls with him to make sure we were on the same page, he always answered emails and texts quickly, and communicating with him was a breeze. Our engagement photos were on the hottest day of 2024 and he helped us get the shots we needed in one take every time, without literally melting. He has a unique eye for capturing candid pics and silhouettes, which is exactly what we wanted. We're in LOVE with our photos and he got them back to us much quicker than we expected. I would hire him again immediately!

The Music Boutique was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Scott was extremely helpful and responsive, and always providing us with great ideas, suggestions, and guidance to make our day special. We had a duo playing for our ceremony and during the cocktail hour and then we had a small 3 person band playing for our reception. And it was the perfect amount of people. We had spoken to some other bands and they all kept saying we need some big band for the reception, but since we were having less than 100 people at the wedding, we didn’t think it made sense to have like a 10 person band, it just seemed like it would overwhelm the whole wedding. And we knew we wanted a band component since my father plays guitar and I had a feeling would want to play a song at some point. Then we spoke with Scott, he seemed to understand our vision of having a small band. He loved the idea of my father playing a song, and made suggestions on when was the perfect time for him to play, and even laughed along with our idea of playing “September” by Earth, Wind, and Fire, over and over again, since we were getting married on “the 21st night of September” (we did not do this)! The day of the band was amazing! They even took the time to learn our first dance song, which was a fairly unknown track, and played it beautifully, and surprised us with playing it. Since we thought it was just going to be a recorded version of the song. That was very special to us! And they were more than happy to let my dad play his song to us. Overall, the band's performance was lively and engaging, and they kept our guests dancing all night long. We couldn't have asked for a better band to help make our wedding celebration so memorable, and couldn’t have done it with Scott!

We cannot recommend Black Walnut Farm enough—it was the perfect place for the wedding of our dreams! From the breathtaking forest ceremony site that felt like stepping into a fairytale, to the warm and vibrant barn that created the ideal setting for our reception and dance party, to the sprawling wildflower gardens that surrounded our golden cocktail hour — every part of the venue is magical. The venue owners, Sarah and Jim, were incredible to work with—so flexible and supportive in helping us create a wedding that truly reflected us. They not only encouraged our own ideas but also suggested thoughtful details we wouldn’t have considered on our own, making our day even more special. It felt like a true collaboration and both my wife and I felt understood by them in this partnership. What really stood out is how effortlessly beautiful and well-equipped the venue is. We only added some simple table flowers, and that was it! It’s truly a “ready-to-go” venue that makes wedding planning so much easier while still looking stunning. We’re already looking forward to attending more events at Black Walnut Farm so we can keep the connection to this incredible place. It’s not just a venue—it’s a place that feels alive with love and celebration. If you’re considering it for your wedding, stop searching—you’ve found your perfect spot!

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Dave ('Fish') as our wedding MC & DJ. From our first meeting, he knew exactly how to mitigate the stress and bring out the best of both of us. He was ALWAYS the first of my vendors to write back to an email, even the night before the wedding to perfect the bride's processional. And not for nothing, but our guests also loved him; song selection was on point, and we could enjoy the night knowing he had everything under control. Might just have to get married again to hang with this guy one more time.

The Garrison itself is absolutely stunning - even more beautiful in person - and the staff was warm, attentive, and professional throughout. Our guests are still raving about the food, and the entire space came together perfectly for both the ceremony and reception. What really made the day seamless, though, was the team that supported us. Annie, our day-of coordinator, was an absolute godsend. We were juggling unpredictable weather, miscommunications, and a whole lot of last-minute uncertainty, and she handled it all with such calm, measured grace. She kept things on track and gave us the gift of peace of mind - we truly couldn’t have done it without her. Fatima, my bridal assistant, was my right hand from the moment I arrived. She anticipated every need before I even had to ask - always three steps ahead, always composed, always kind. I felt fully taken care of, which is exactly what every bride hopes for. We’re so grateful to the entire team - thank you for making our wedding day so beautiful and so easy to enjoy.

I mean this when I say it—book her!!!!! I rarely ever leave reviews, only when it truly matters. I have never in my life had someone care so deeply about my photos, especially such important ones for my wedding. I’m still in shock at how incredible she was. I originally had a completely different photographer booked and only hired her for our engagement session. My husband and I instantly fell in love with her, she made us feel so comfortable and genuinely cared about capturing us. I actually canceled my original photographer before even seeing the engagement photos, because I just knew. And of course, the engagement photos were AMAZING. The wedding photos? Even better. I truly cannot speak highly enough of her. Our photos are beyond beautiful, there are no words to describe how grateful we are.

Hi, I’m Richard, a wedding photographer based in the Hudson Valley. My passion is finding the beauty in the simplest moments and capturing them in a way that feels raw, real, and full of life. As a candid, photojournalist photographer, I’m all about ditching stiff poses to focus on the relationships, the laughs, and the genuine emotions that tell your distinct story. I aim to capture the little details and authentic moments that make your day uniquely yours.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our very first email exchange to the moment we received our photos, every step of working with Rich was an incredible experience. He always responded quickly, answered every question with patience, and offered thoughtful suggestions I hadn’t even considered. His preparation before the wedding gave us confidence that everything would run smoothly, and it truly did. Richard was exceptionally professional, respectful, kind, and understanding. On our wedding day, he brought a sense of calm amid the chaos. He blended seamlessly into the flow of events—always present when needed, but never intrusive—and coordinated effortlessly with our families, bridal party, and other vendors. He was also incredibly organized with the shots we needed, keeping us on track without ever making us feel rushed. Richard delivered our full gallery exactly one month after our wedding and just before Thanksgiving so we could share the photos with our families over the holiday. It meant so much to us and we were thrilled to receive our pictures so quickly. Looking through the gallery felt like reliving the entire day, moment by moment. He captured the vibe and essence of our wedding perfectly. I especially appreciated his ideas and direction, and his artistic eye genuinely blew us away. He noticed angles, lighting, and emotional moments, capturing everything from the big highlights to the smallest in-between moments. The pictures he took of us, our families, and our venue were stunning—so much so that multiple friends texted us saying the photos looked like they belonged in Vogue. That is entirely to Richard’s credit. Choosing Richard as our wedding photographer was, without question, one of the best decisions I made in the entire wedding process. I am endlessly grateful to have these photos to cherish forever. Choose Rich as your wedding photographer - you will not regret it!!!!

We felt so ready when the day came but were still so surprised about how much DJ Lou did for us.

Their quick responses, attention to detail, and values-driven approach put us at ease and allowed us to truly be present on our wedding day. Erica and Alyssa took the time to remind us to breathe through the stressful moments, and we are hugely grateful to them and the entire Sweet Alice team for making our day absolutely perfect. We feel so lucky to have known them and cannot recommend them highly enough!

Pioneer Media was a wonderful choice for our wedding videography. From the very beginning, their communication was professional and kind. Lynette, was especially skilled at organizing our family photos - she remained calm and collected, able to wrangle everyone without breaking a sweat or getting frustrated. The entire Pioneer Media team was dedicated and focused, capturing all the special moments of our day with care. The final images and photo booth prints were great. We are so grateful to have chosen Pioneer Media to document our special day.

We love working at Full Moon Resort, Its such a beautiful venue! They have the perfect wooded ceremony spot, but also has open fields to use or in case of bad weather you can get married in the barn or the ceremony tent, they also use the barn throughout their weekend weddings for Rehearsal Dinners, breakfast & lunch. & then you have the pavilion which is a beautiful open and airy room that is meant for the reception (its nice that although your guests are there for the weekend you get to save this space for the main event instead of having to repeat a location) They also have lodging for many, with a pool and the grounds are beautiful. We work with Morgan, Nikki, and Kayla (along with many of the other staff members) and they are all aways great to work with, (they know how to work with as a team with hired vendors like us) which makes it more enjoyable and stress-free for all! We are a florist/decorating company and although we have done some elaborate weddings at full moon, you actually don't need to go crazy on florals and decor as the venue itself is beautiful and surrounded by nature.

We’re Hudson Valley and Catskills wedding photographers who specialize in intimate celebrations filled with connection and emotion. Our focus is on real moments, beautiful light, and photos that feel like you. Whether you’re planning a cozy backyard wedding or an adventurous elopement in the mountains, we’ll capture it with care and creativity.

If you're considering Megan & Kenneth, take this as your sign to book them. Megan & Kenneth were incredible from the moment we first reached out to them. They were kind, flexible, and so helpful with helping us visualize our day. Their automated reminder and tips were incredibly helpful to us. Getting to know them with our included engagement shoot was so much fun, and by the time of our wedding, we felt like old friends. Megan & Kenneth felt like more than photographers/videographers on our special day - they felt like wedding coordinators and family. They were able to pick up on our worries and anxieties, put us at ease, and navigate inevitable wedding-day snafus with grace. Oh, and the photos and video are INCREDIBLE. Swoon-worthy, romantic, natural, and fun. Our family and friends ADORED them, and are still asking us about the amazing photographers we had. We love you guys!!!!

We had the most amazing time at Diamond Mills Hotel! The venue is BEAUTIFUL, and the staff is wonderful to work with. My husband and I also loved exploring Saugerties! Planning a wedding in two months was challenging, but booking Diamond Mills for our wedding venue was the best decision ever! We loved working with Stephanie, Carrie, and Brianne. They are highly organized and professional. Our wedding day was truly magical! Our guests had a wonderful time! We also really appreciate how the staff working on the day of our wedding ensured that my husband and I ate well (and remembered to eat as we interacted with our guests). The food served was delicious and we loved our wedding cake! Another great thing about booking the wedding at Diamond Mills is that the hotel is attached to the wedding venue - it was very convenient for us and our guests! We received a good discount for our hotel block. The wedding package they offer at Diamond Mills Hotel is truly well-rounded! Beautiful venue with indoor and outdoor spaces, catering, open bar, wedding cake, and supportive and amazing staff to help you plan your wedding and ensure that everything runs smoothly during the day of the wedding all for a reasonable price! I used some rental decorations, and the staff made sure to carefully pack everything at the end of the night, so shipping and packing up the following day was easy! We highly recommend Diamond Mills!

This is delightfully different elopement + wedding photography! From helicopter elopements and lakeside wedding bashes to hiking engagements to weddings with bouncy houses, I capture the adventurous, quirky, and unique. Based in both New York + California, with travel worldwide, I've photographed couples on 6 continents. My creative, fun, & candid photography uses innovative techniques and unique ideas to get photos that make you look twice. Whether you're saying vows in your backyard or having a 3-day adventure wedding in the rainforest, I'll catch every spontaneous moment of joy and laughter—and plan a few unique shots on top of it all.

We cannot recommend Kathryn enough! First (and most obvious) (and also most important) point is that the photos she took were incredible. She captured our night beautifully. More than that though, she captured how the night felt. The photos weren't overly posy, but rather showed off how much fun and excitement there was for the entire night. I think one of the best things I can say about Kathryn is that she really made a point of figuring out HOW we wanted her to photograph the wedding and delivered. As I wrote above, we wanted the photographs to look great, but mostly just capture how the wedding felt and she delivered on that 100%. Also, as much as she made sure we were leading all the decision making, she really knew her stuff and took things off of our plate where we could. We knew how we wanted the photos to look generally, but neither of us are photographers. So we talked to her about style and vibe and she really took it from there. She was an absolute professional, a great person to work with, and kind and caring. We felt like we were in great hands every step of the way. Truly cannot recommend her enough.

Words cannot express the magic and beauty that Tricia and Marty created for our special day. From the moment we toured the venue we felt the love these two people put into their special place. They both were not only professional but extremely kind and amazingly helpful in every aspect and detail of our wedding. I wish we could live it all over again, but I will cherish the moments and photos for all the years to come. I can't thank them enough for all that they've done. Our guests continue to speak nothing but praise for this place. This is the BEST venue to have a wedding, if you're looking for rustic love and beauty. The food was great as well. Love always, Melanie and Jonathan
