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.

Brielle and her team were absolutely incredible! The planning process was so much more enjoyable and stress-free with the I Do team by our side every step of the way. From the very beginning, I knew we had made the right choice. Brielle took my unique vision and helped refine it into something even more beautiful than I could have imagined. She completely embraced my style and connected us with other amazing vendors who brought our dream to life. But where Brielle and her team truly shined was on our wedding day. As a bride managing some chronic health issues that morning, I knew I just needed to focus on taking care of myself — and I could trust the I Do team to handle absolutely everything else. Their calm professionalism and care made all the difference, turning what could have been a stressful moment into one of complete peace. Thanks to Brielle and all our wonderful vendors, my husband and I had the best day ever! I would hire them again in a heartbeat and recommend them to anyone looking for a team that goes above and beyond.

WOW, SPECTACULAR, AMAZING, FANTASTIC…These are all words we would use to describe Chris and all of Limitless Entertainment. We had the pleasure of booking Chris for our wedding during his busy schedule and we could not have made a better choice. He made sure we had everything we wanted and more! From providing music for our ceremony, reception, and after party, to all the amazing details including dancing on the clouds, cold sparklers, CO2 gun (my favorite), handouts, all kinds of lighting that really set the scene, as well as Photo Booth for our guests to help us capture the evening! He was a one stop shop which made it incredibly easy to work with only one vendor for all of our entertainment needs. He ensured all of our music was exactly what we wanted and did a fantastic job MC’ing the evening. He is incredibly personable and has a fantastic “whatever you need” attitude which ensured our day was as perfect as could be! I cannot recommend him enough for all your DJ/Entertainment needs!

We can’t thank Jenna and Amalia enough for taking care of our pup, Wesley, on our wedding day. We were hesitant to include Wesley in our wedding day at first because he’s still a pup and we weren’t sure who to leave him with, but once we met with Jenna and Amalia, we knew there was no one better for the job! They took care of him like their own - making sure he was happy, fed and cuddled throughout the day. They brought him to the venue for the ceremony and assisted perfectly with having him walk down the aisle and picture taking. They then brought him back home and got him settled in for the night. We were completely at ease knowing he was in the best hands and we were so happy they were able to help us include him in our special day. I can’t recommend The Butterfly Effect Weddings enough for your dog chaperoning needs for your wedding - there’s no one better!!

When you hire Jamie, your date is locked in FOR YOU, no unwanted surprises!

The photos are stunning—capturing every moment from getting ready to our bubble exit, and she stayed through the very end with no extra fees. Our album is gorgeous and such a special keepsake from the day. We can’t recommend Jamie enough!

  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves South River, NJ

After recently getting married myself, I truly understand that there are so many decisions that a couple has to make for their big day. 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
Let’s start off by saying that I planned my own wedding, and I am quite particular and critical. Having also attended art school with a BFA in photography, it’s especially challenging for me to find another creative whom I'm both impressed by their portfolio/aesthetic and can trust as another artist. With that being said, I am so happy that I found Carlo and his wonderful team through my friend. Hands down, Carlo’s team was my FAVORITE VENDOR, and a vendor that I feel incredibly fortunate to have hired and believe is worth every penny for the extra services we paid for. In weddings where a million things could go wrong in so many directions, Carlo’s team went above and beyond. Every time I look back, I am filled with a sense of gratitude and relief that I hired him. This feeling cannot be said for other vendors. TLDR: Just hire Carlo for your wedding, and you won’t regret it, I promise you. Carlo’s team is amazing for the following reasons: Communication: Carlo was THE MOST RESPONSIVE vendor out of everyone I worked with. He always acknowledged receipt of emails and took the time to answer all of my questions. Carlo managed expectations well and was super proactive throughout the process. Although Carlo himself had unfortunately been booked on the day of my wedding, he made sure that his team would cover his absence and deliver the creative vision shown in his portfolio, which they absolutely did. What was even more impressive was that throughout the process, from getting to know the team to planning the day, all the way leading up to my wedding, Carlo himself was very much involved even though he wasn’t going to be on-site. He didn’t just hand off the project because his team was covering for him. Creative Vision: Carlo is exceptional with his craft and vision. When we received the teaser reel, we were blown away. And then when we received the final edited movie, it really brought back emotions from the day of our wedding. It was shot and edited in the most natural but beautiful way, with many thoughtful transitions and edits. As a creative myself, I could see how much time and thought Carlo spent during the editing process. It is so well-crafted, and even the raw footage came out amazing. Professionalism: From the way Carlo’s team set up and collaborated with the photographers to how they handled themselves during a fire drill (unexpected thunder & rain, last-minute changes, etc.), to how they gave directions to me and my husband, they were such pros and a pleasure to work with. Also, they were the only ones who captured the wedding ceremony space due to some unexpected hiccups that occurred. Carlo’s team is calm, collected, and incredibly thoughtful. They are genuinely great people whom you would want to invite to your wedding for the positive vibe they bring. I can’t thank you enough Carlo and the team! You guys are the ABSOLUTE BEST!!

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!!

We cannot say enough good things about Shelby! She is one of the warmest and kindest people we have ever met. I HATE being photographed, and my husband and I cannot tolerate being the center of attention. Somehow, she made the wedding photo shoot so enjoyable that we were sad to leave. She provided plenty of ideas for where to shoot and how to pose. She took our feedback regarding the look and feel we wanted for our photos, and they look GORGEOUS! Shelby possesses a remarkable ability to make you feel at ease, and she loves what she does, which is evident in her pictures. Again, it is impossible to say enough good things!

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.

On my wedding day, she came so prepared and was able to do 9 girls in a fair amount of time. She even left me with a little lipstick to reapply after she left. I absolutely loved my make up, it was natural but classy without being caked on and I still felt like myself. I truly enjoy her company and her services.

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.

We did our engagement shoot with Anushka in November and are elated with the results! We started in Central Park, then had an outfit change for pizza and some shots on an empty Q train. Anushka took our inspiration/Pinterest board and ran with it! Could not be more obsessed with how our album came out. She was professional, kind, and very easy to work with, especially as a couple who has never posed for professional photos before. We also loved that she does film photos too!! Anushka has an amazing eye for detail and different vantage points - Book with her and you won’t be disappointed!

Vero was the absolute sweetest! She executed my makeup perfectly and had such great attention to detail. She gave me great tips for prepping my skin for the big day, which was amazing because my skin was the best it has ever been! I had such a fun time on the morning of my wedding with her and my hairstylist. My makeup lasted for over 24 hours. The makeup did not feel heavy and it felt as though I had no makeup on. Thank you so much Vero!

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!
