I DO Planning

South River, NJ
  • Planner
  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $750

I DO Planning is a boutique Wedding & Event Planning firm based at the Jersey Shore. We offer a modern, high-touch approach to planning for couples who value thoughtful design, clear communication, and an impeccably run event. We specialize in tented weddings, private properties, and non-traditional venues, turning blank spaces into intentional, elevated celebrations. Our planning style is hands-on, organized, and honest.

From our very first meeting with Brielle, I knew we had made the right choice. After every call with my daughter and Brielle, I’d immediately turn to my daughter and say, “Wow… we absolutely could not do this without Brielle!” As the mother of an only child, I knew we had one shot to get everything right—and I hadn’t planned a wedding since the 1980s, so help was definitely needed! Brielle brought my daughter’s vision to life flawlessly and made sure the day was nothing short of magical. With my husband’s health challenges, the team kept the schedule flexible and stress-free while still keeping everything perfectly on track. Every vendor Brielle recommended was fantastic, and the entire team took such wonderful care of our family. I am forever grateful to Brielle for making the magic happen and giving us a day we will cherish forever!

Chris and his team from Limitless Entertainment are excellent! You're in great hands if you book him for your wedding or event. I just got married 11/1/24 and everyone raved about how great the music was! Chris is personable and took the time to listen to our music taste and curated the perfect set that kept people dancing all night long. I received a lot of compliments on how well the music was, he knows how to read the room and get the party going! We also had our wedding monogram on one of the walls, co2 blasters, sparklers, lighting, and a horn to get the party going! Everything came out great. Thank you for making our wedding perfect!

Our goal is to alleviate the stress of wedding planning, so you can focus on what truly matters: your love for each other. Let's work together to create a wedding that's beautiful and personalized to you and your partner!

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!

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!

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!

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

Venue considerations

  • Venue feels large for events with small guest lists
  • Couple must handle cleanup and setup
From the very beginning, Park Château made the entire wedding process feel like an absolute dream. The moment I stepped onto the grounds for the first time, I knew it was the perfect venue—I could already picture our wedding day there. As a Type A bride, I deeply appreciated how responsive and helpful Devin was throughout planning. Every question I had was answered quickly, and every concern met with care. The team was incredibly accommodating, honoring the vision we had for a meaningful, multicultural celebration. They worked with us to alter the stations so I could incorporate my Filipino heritage and allowed us to bring in soju to represent my husband’s Korean culture. Every request, no matter how detailed, was thoughtfully considered—it genuinely felt like their mission was to bring our dreams to life. On the day of the wedding, the service was impeccable. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty. Danielle kept us relaxed by constantly checking on us, keeping the suite clean, steaming dresses last-minute, and making sure we were well-fed and comfortable. Once we were ready, Jeremiah and Justin took care of my husband and me with such attention, joy, and professionalism that we never once had to think or worry about a thing. They truly went above and beyond!! They made sure our hair was never out of place, carried my lipstick for touch-ups, managed my train, cape-veil with ease, shaded me from the sun, and brought cold water (with a straw for makeup!) every 30 minutes. When my dress got dirty during photos (which I was mentally prepared for!), they were on the ground scrubbing it clean and blow-drying it dry—both of them. Later on the dance floor, they cooled me down with a cold cloth and made sure I stayed hydrated, all while keeping the energy light and fun. I could go on and on because these were just a few things they took care of for us that day! They made us laugh, checked in on us emotionally, and truly felt like part of our celebration. Their presence made the day even more magical. Our guests were blown away—not just by the sheer amount of food, but by the quality and taste of everything, from cocktail hour to dinner to the drinks. Everyone thought the grounds and venue were so beautiful and it all ran so smoothly! We've had so many guests tell us it was one of the best weddings they've ever attended, and we couldn’t agree more. Park Château truly knows what they’re doing. I wish I could relive the day all over again—it was absolutely perfect. Thank you to the entire Park Château team for giving us a wedding day beyond our wildest dreams.

From the moment I saw my sister’s wedding videos, I knew I had to work with Carlo Timothy Films. Their creativity, vision and their ability to capture such special moments on a couples’ big day was just on another level. As a person who hates taking pictures or videos, I was so nervous that it would be SO awkward. But, the team made my husband and I feel extremely comfortable and made the whole day so much fun! We couldn’t believe how quickly the time went and wish we had more time! On our anniversary, we always rewatch our videos and it brings us right back to our special day with all the feels!

My husband and I got married in September and worked with Carolyn and Kristina for our wedding florals. From the first intro meeting, both women were extremely kind, attentive and clearly amazing at their job. We had no doubts after our first call that we wanted to work with them. We had a few calls throughout our wedding journey and I was never concerned with how amazing the flowers would turn out! I felt comfortable enough to express what changes I wanted to make (very minimal) and was happy with the revisions the team presented at our next meeting. Carolyn and Kristina are such a pleasure to work with and made our whole wedding floral experience seamless, fun and easy. The florals turned out to be AMAZING and we couldn't be happier with the end result. The colors matched everything so perfectly and I couldn't have dreamed of better pictures because of the flowers. We were absolutely thrilled with their work and would wholeheartedly recommend them to any couple planning their special day!!

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.

I’m a drummer, a mother of two amazing kids, and a proud owner of an 80lb Samoyed. My passion for photography is deeply influenced by my family legacy—my grandmother was a dedicated full-time photographer who spent her life capturing and hand-coloring her own images. 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Momo for our Chinese-Bengali fusion wedding celebration in lower east side of Manhattan in mid June 2024. We had a very small venue with 10 family members and 30 closest and dearest friends of ours for an intimate gathering. Momo’s camera closely followed and captured the unfolding of the event and the subtlest facial expressions of our family, guests and myself throughout the night. I got to know about her work from Red (Chinese Reddit) before entrusting her for one of the most important events of my life, but was still caught exhilarated by her work product on our event — her passion about photography and deep expertise in its technicality shined through the over 200-photo-well-woven storyline. Besides her exceptional work and high professionalism throughout our pre-and-during event communication, I appreciated her confident and genuine approach which I found down-to-earth, super helpful and reassuring — she really put in the work to understand you and amplify your shining traits. It’s such a pleasant and unforgettable experience to work with Momo. I would highly recommend her for any couples who are looking for wedding photographers.

Margaret was better than I could’ve asked! Leading up to the day she was so easy to communicate with. She created a timeline for the day and any thoughts I had she took them into account and found a way to incorporate them into the plan. Truely felt like a team because of how kind and thoughtful she is. Get to the day, she was a calming presence for sure. She showed up with a smile on her face and seamlessly cued the bridesmaids and myself throughout. She was present but didn’t hover it was the perfect balance. Along with that she was my hype girl throughout it 3 Now let’s talk about the pictures, I’m not used to getting my picture taken and feel so uncomfortable being the center of attention but she tells you every detail you need, and if something doesn’t look right she’ll correct it gracefully in the moment. I felt like I got to enjoy my day without it feeling like a photoshoot. She delivered the pictures so fast!! A couple of my bridesmaids made comments about how fast the turnaround time was…and they were breathtaking!! Better than I ever could have imagined, I can’t stop looking at them. Not a moment was missed and due to her talent we have the most perfect picture to remind us of our special day for the rest of our lives. Do yourself a favor and book with her, worth every penny.

Ashley is such a kind and wonderful person to work with! She made me and my bridal party feel comfortable going up to the big day. Pricing was reasonable and I went with her originally because she did not require more than 2 minimum people/services the day of on site, which put me at ease in case my girls decided later they did not want makeup done. Most services to go on site had a large minimum. Any questions I had in email she responded quickly which is a big help in the wedding planning process. On the big day she made sure my skin was prepped well and the cheeks/lips she was able to build up and make tweaks as we go so it would work perfectly with my look. The photos were amazing with the tones she picked and I got a slight glow as the night went on which is what I wanted, and it stayed all night! To add to it, she gave me the lip product to keep for touch ups at no cost! This is exactly who you want to be with you on your big day. Thank you so much Ashley!

Vlad and his sister were phenomenal to work with. Between taking photos and the photobooth they captured our dream looks for our wedding and much more. Vlad is a true professional and knows how to make you feel comfortable and relaxed. Highly recommend Daydream’s services!

Welcome! I’m Anushka (friends call me Nush/Nushy), a Digital and Analog photographer serving the greater New York City Metro area. I specialize in photography for couples, intimate events, the arts, and general portraiture. My work is guided by a simple belief: the most powerful images are the ones that feel true. Whether it’s capturing quiet in-between moments or celebrating bold expression, I focus on preserving effortless, authentic memories and timeless beauty that will resonate for years to come. Let’s create something real, together.

I booked Nushy’s film for a summer backyard house warming party that was actually a surprise engagement party. She was amazing! She was very helpful, easy to work with, and went along with the ruse that it was a house warming party to fool our guest!!! I loved her commitment to our surprise and all the photos she took. Before the actual event she was very good during the planning processing when explains the type of photos we wanted to get from the party. I would totally book her again.

I am Paul, a husband, father, and photographer serving the east coast NY, NJ, tri-state area, and available for travel worldwide. I have a joy and enthusiasm for life, love, and marriage. I love creating beautiful photos and capturing moments and memories but more importantly I love to photograph weddings and engagements because I love marriage and the love it signifies.

Paul was absolutely incredible to work with! We had the pleasure of working with him for both our engagement shoot and wedding, and he made every moment enjoyable. From the start, Paul was kind, communicative, and incredibly creative. My husband and I can sometimes feel awkward in front of the camera, but Paul made us feel completely at ease. 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!
