South River, NJ

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!

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!

The flowers were the best part of the entire day. Growing up, my grandma was a florist so flowers were one of the most important things to me. I sent Laura my vision and she took it and brought it to life. You can tell she has such passion and love for each bouquet she puts together. She is so sweet and has amazing communication. When she delivered my bouquet in the morning, she wrote me a letter and it just shows her kindness and passion. The flowers were one of the most talked about things of the night!

We're Amalia and Jenna, a passionate duo who happen to be wives, dedicated to crafting unforgettable weddings. With a combined background in hospitality, design and event planning, we bring a keen eye for detail and a knack for orchestrating flawless celebrations. 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
My now husband and I LOVED working with Amalia and her wife, Jenna, to bring our wedding night dinner to life. My husband and I chose a courthouse wedding ceremony - just us - but knew we wanted to invite close friends and family to an intimate dinner that evening to celebrate. I wasn't sure where to begin - I contacted Amalia and sent her photos from Pinterest as my inspiration. Amalia truly blew us away from day 1 - she created custom dinner invites for us based on my inspiration photos. She sent over multiple proofs of her one-of-a-kind digital designs until it was perfectly done. I never had to reach out to her - Amalia was on top of my deadlines and full of ideas for my dream night! Her communication is excellent. My husband and I picked a venue in Scotch Plains, NJ to host our dinner. The restaurant offered private, charming rooms for special events. Amalia contacted the venue and worked out all the fine details of setup - I truly did not have to lift a finger! I shared my ideas & inspirations with Amalia for how I imagined the dinner to look. I knew I wanted to keep the wildflower color scheme of my bouquet in the details. However, I let her know I was very open to letting her take the lead in designing the setup. I am not a type-A person or planner, so I was grateful she stepped up and let her creativity flow. As seen in attached photos, Amalia designed our dream wedding night dinner! My husband and I arrived before our guests and were blown away with the ambiance and warmth of the room. Amalia designed custom welcome notes, name cards and signage for us that matched our initial invites. She embedded special details such as mini figurines of our beloved lab and pug, and printed framed a photo I sent earlier in the day of my courthouse ceremony! She and her wife, Jenna, handmade flower bouquets for the table and lit beautiful hand-painted candles in the center. She even designed thank you cards/ keepsake magnets on plantable paper for our guests. Amalia is a dream to work with - her passion for weddings & design is so evident! She is compassionate and professional- I had a truly seamless experience with her. I am forever grateful to Amalia for planning my wedding night dinner - an evening my husband and I will cherish forever. We are considering a vow renewal or more traditional wedding in a few years, and without hesitation look forward to hiring Amalia again!

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. ….

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!
