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!

10/10/10/10 would recommend Chris and Limitless Entertainment to DJ your wedding, birthday or any event requiring music. Chris was very professional, super fun to work with, and had a similar music style to our, which was a benefit to making our wedding the party that wanted to go all night long. As an audio technician in the entertainment industry, my expectations were really high, but his immediate professionalism and charisma in our initial interactions are what made me want to sign a contract with them. The communication was clear and concise throughout the whole process and he made the music at my husband and I's wedding a dream come true. I literally had so many friends and family say that they couldn't stop dancing all night and that this was the most fun that they've ever had at a wedding and it was all thanks to Chris and Limitless Entertainment! Thank you for making it a night we will remember for the rest of our lives!

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
From the very first meeting with Jenna and Amalia, I knew they were the ones to help plan my special day. I didn’t need to meet with anyone else — I clicked with them immediately. Their warmth, kindness, and creativity put me completely at ease, and throughout the planning process they always came prepared with thoughtful ideas and solutions. Our planning meetings honestly felt more like I was just hanging out with my best friends than a meeting with my wedding planners. On the day of my wedding, I was full of nerves and anxiety — until I saw them step out of the car. In that moment, all of the stress lifted. Jenna and Amalia have such a calming presence; they anticipated every detail, solved problems before they even reached me, and made sure I could be fully present and enjoy my day. And honestly they are just FUN to be around. My wedding couldn’t have been more perfect, and so much of that is thanks to them. Somewhere between the planning meetings, the endless texts, and the joy of the wedding day, Jenna and Amalia became more than planners — they became people I want in my life forever. My family absolutely fell in love with them too; we’re already planning dinners and future hangouts. That’s the kind of impact they have — they don’t just plan weddings, they become part of your story. I cannot recommend The Butterfly Effect Weddings enough. If you want planners who will not only execute your vision flawlessly but also make the entire process joyful and stress-free, Jenna and Amalia are it. They will forever hold a special place in my heart.

  • 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.

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
Carlo is the BEST wedding videographer you could ask for. He was absolutely amazing to work with and he captured our day in such a unique and beautiful way. The videos we got from him were absolutely stunning, edited in a way that is completely unique to any wedding videos I've seen. A one-minute teaser that's perfect for our social media pages, an amazing five-minute highlight reel (also great for social media) and a full one hour film of our entire day captured in beautiful high-definition. My wife cannot stop watching all of our videos over and over again. From spectacular high quality video, drone footage, and even Super8 footage mixed in the final videos. I loved the Super8 footage so much that we added on an additional video to our package that featured just Super8 footage that Carlo edited to music we picked out-- which was definitely worth it! Carlo's editing and shooting skills are superb but his passion and enthusiasm to fully understand our love story and how we wanted our special day to be captured is what made him worth every penny. We couldn't be happier with the finished product, and we couldn't be more grateful to Carlo for his amazing work.

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.

We LOVED doing our engagement photos with Momo! She was lovely and communicative throughout the whole process. When the forecast called for rain, she offered to reschedule, which I thought was really nice. Both my fiance and I are usually a little shy behind the camera but Momo made us so comfortable and it was easy to forget she was even there sometimes. Afterwards, my fiance couldn’t stop talking about how much fun he had (“I just got to kiss you for an hour!”). She was also great with our big, goofy dog. The pictures, which she sent in two days, exceeded all our expectations. They are so amazing and special for us to have, and everyone is gushing about them! We couldn’t be happier we went with Momo.

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.

We are so happy we went with Vlad for our wedding. He was so friendly and good at his job. He was able to get all the shots we wanted, and he had some photo ideas that we didn’t even think of that we are really grateful we took. He was really capturing the moment the entire time. Highly recommend choosing Vlad!

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.

Anushka was such a joy to work with! She made the whole process feel easy relaxed and understood exactly what me and my Fiancé wanted for our engagement party. Our pictures came out perfect and she was definitely able to capture the vibe!! If you needed a sign, here it is- hire her!! 3

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!
