I adore Nicole! I'm an indecisive bride and can't seem to know how i really want to look like, but Nicole is extremely patient with me, very sweet and very pleasant to work with. Very reliable from the start, from the hair/makeup trial, to changing the hairstyle that I want, and still made me look my most beautiful despite changing minds with the hairstyle that I ended up wanting. She's also very organized, giving me and the bridesmaids prep to-do things, and little goody bags so we look fresh throughout the day. Her team was awesome as well, very sweet and lovely, all my bridesmaids and my family looked stunning! And as a bride, can't rave enough at how I feel so confident and beautiful that day. Thank you, Nicole!! You're the best!

We could not be happier with our choice of High Voltage Entertainment for our wedding at Swan Lake Caterers. From the very beginning, they were extremely accommodating with the planning process, attentive to every detail, and went above and beyond to make our night unforgettable. Their setup looked incredible—the equipment was a sleek, elegant white that blended perfectly with our décor and gave the reception a polished, luxurious feel. They took the time to listen to all of our requests and even previewed the playlist I created for cocktail hour to make sure the vibe was just right. The sound quality and volume were flawless all night, and the energy never dipped once. DJ Tony Pre, who also served as MC, absolutely crushed it. He played hit after hit, kept the dance floor packed, and even managed to get an encore chant of “one more song” from our guests—which says it all. One of our favorite moments came after my brother’s best man speech, when Tony spontaneously queued up a Nickelback track as a hilarious callback to my brother’s story about how I used to make him read the lyrics so he wouldn’t sing them wrong. It was such a perfect, spur-of-the-moment gag that had everyone cracking up and made the night feel so personal and fun. On top of that, Tony even brought an extra CO2 cannon so my wife and I could fire it together, which added another unforgettable memory to the night. Meanwhile, Matt ran the photo booth, which our guests absolutely loved. He kept the booth lively, fun, and interactive, and even stepped in as DJ while Tony was handling MC duties. The teamwork between them was seamless and kept the energy flowing effortlessly. Thanks to High Voltage, our wedding was filled with music, laughter, and moments we’ll cherish forever. They made the entire night a success and truly exceeded our expectations. We cannot thank them enough and would recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, fun, and unforgettable wedding entertainment team.

Choosing a wedding venue is one of the biggest decisions you'll make during the planning process and I can confidently say, choosing Swan Lake Caterers was the best decision we made. I’m so excited to write this review so other couples can have a similarly incredible experience! I looked everywhere around the tri-state area from Jersey, to Connecticut, all the boroughs (including Staten Island!!) to all over Long Island. Swan Lake Caterers was actually the first venue I visited, and I fell in love instantly. But, like many brides, I was indecisive. I kept searching, trying to be sure… and after every other tour, I kept coming back to Swan Lake in my heart, I had a feeling it was the one! And it absolutely was. The entire day was seamless, magical, and full of joy. One of the most touching things someone said to me was from my sister. She told me, “So many brides can’t enjoy their wedding day because there’s so much going on but we could see in your face how carefree and happy you were. You were truly having fun” This was in large part due to Swan Lake Caterers allowing me to focus on my husband, family and friends. They gave us peace of mind, beautiful surroundings, and the freedom to be fully present in every moment. The food was out of this world, our guests are still talking about it! Sophia and Charlie really catered to what we wanted and to our guests’ dietary needs! Including three of our vegan family members. The venue itself was picture perfect. It was elegant, romantic, and timeless! One of my guests said it looked like it was out of a Disney movie. Elena, our maitre-d worked with me in the months leading up to the wedding to make sure the decor and vibe was everything we wanted. She knocked it out of the park! Even though it was a little chilly, and started to drizzle, Sophia was in contact with us in the week leading up to it, to make sure everyone was comfortable temperature wise. They were so unimaginably attentive to us! The day of, Elena made sure that even without a rehearsal everything went off without a hitch. Speaking of attentiveness, Jill, my bridal attendant, was simply amazing. She made sure we had drinks in our hand, food on our plates, helped me fix the train on my dress a million and one times. I’m pretty sure they helped one of my guests fix a ripped dress? Seriously. People said it was one of the best weddings they’ve been to! If you're thinking about getting married here, stop thinking and just say YES. I can’t express how incredibly grateful I am to Swan Lake Caterers and would love it for every other couple (and their guests) to have a similar experience!

Words can't describe how thankful I am to have had Jess and Jackie on my wedding day!!! Our day wouldn't have nearly gone as smoothly without them. They truly embraced the day and put all their energy into knowing inside and out our timeline, every detail, our vendors and our bridal party. I (the bride) was able to go about my entire day without having to worry about a single thing because they were taking the lead and handling it all. With a big bridal party and family, they ensured our most important people were where they needed to be and that we got all the photo shots that I had specified on my extensive list. All my expectations for the day that I had talked with them the months prior to our wedding were met and exceeded. There were only a few small bumps to the day and they immediately diffused the situation and quickly resolved it, all while being so kind and professional. These two allowed me to be completely present on my day and blocked out all the noise for me and I can't thank them enough for that. I will forever be grateful for Jess and Jackie and I highly recommend you book them ASAP!!!

Giving you space and time to enjoy your loved ones, and making your wedding photos feel effortless.

Working with Rajotte Photography was one of the BEST decisions I made when planning my wedding. Marybeth was the photographer at my brother's wedding where I was a bridesmaid. She was so sweet and fun to work with. She even helped answer some questions I had about my own upcoming wedding. The moment I saw the first photo from my brother's wedding I knew I had to book her for mine. Her work is STUNNING! Thankfully, she was available for my wedding date and I was thrilled! The booking process was simple but also personalized. They offered valuable advice about timeline and asked important questions regarding family dynamics, photo idea/requests, and more. Communication was quick and professional and she answered all of my questions. On the day of the wedding, the photographers were on time and so fun to work with. They captured the perfect mix of posed pictures and candids. I have always been pretty self-conscious but Marybeth made me feel like a model on my wedding day and I cannot thank her enough for that! I would absolutely recommend her!! 100/10!

When working on wedding planning, we knew right away that we wanted to use nectar& bloom for our florals. We wanted something fun, unique, and just not what you always see at most weddings in our area. Lisa and Ann Marie were amazing in their communication and breakdowns of what could work with our budget and venue space, and were very adaptable and helpful as changes came along the way! We had high expectations coming into our wedding day, but they were absolutely blown out of the park once we saw everything come to life! From my bridal bouquet to the AMAZING floral arch and centerpieces, we were absolutely thrilled with how bright, colorful, fun, and unique our florals were. Our guests are still raving about the flowers that we had, and I even sent out our flowers to be preserved so that I have this amazing piece of our day treasured forever.

AMP DJ/BAND HYBRID is a boutique event company owned & operated by husband & wife team, Jimmy & Ana Salvemini. Having performed around the world with Gloria Gaynor, Luther Vandross, and George LaMond to name a few, the Salveminis were looking for an innovative way to bring that same quality of showmanship and professionalism to your special event! Our DJ/BAND HYBRIDs are carefully crafted to your needs giving you limitless musical possibilities!

Awarded Best of Zola
Ana & Jimmy were in a different league from the moment we met them. On our first Zoom, they listened to everything I said about our taste and our vibe… and then gently told me that our beloved saxophonist idea didn’t match anything we had described. They recommended a guitarist instead— and thank goodness, because they were absolutely right. Their planning process was incredibly thoughtful.. and for me, hilarious. Their music surgery? Thorough and genius, and apparently visible to them before you hit submit. Which meant they saw me type things like “Haed pass,” “No thank you,” and “What even is that??” Live. Thankfully, they have incredible senses of humor. They checked in multiple times, did a full site visit, and showed up with a sound team who stayed all night to make sure everything was flawless. They even coordinated our private outdoor first dance with our violinist while sending the music inside to guests — seamlessly. But the reception is where they catapulted into untouchable territory. They don’t just sing and DJ… they perform. Including: * the full, committed N’SYNC “Bye Bye Bye” choreography * A Blink - 182 elder millennial scream-along that transported us back to 2003 * Coming onto the dance floor to hype everyone * Interacting with guests like they’ve known us forever. I don’t dance— and I was on that dance floor all night. Our guests are still texting us about how unreal the band was and we’ve heard “best wedding I’ve ever been to” on multiple occasions. My only genuine disappointment is that the wedding is over and I don’t get to hang out with Ana and Jimmy anymore. Hire AMP DJ/BAND HYBRID. Thank me later

First of all, I have to say Milysa is the best makeup artist I have come across over the years and I’m happy I chose her to do my bridal makeup and for my bridal party. I originally booked a bridal trial with her (through word of mouth) after a couple other artists and after my trial, I knew I had to book her to do the makeup for my Wedding! She was so sweet, highly adaptable, extremely knowledgeable about which products and colors would suit me best for my face, eye shape and skin type. She created a timeline and guided me through the whole process since I had the trial up until my Wedding day and helped calm my bride-to-be nerves. The day of the Wedding, she was punctual and made sure everything flowed smoothly. My makeup looked even better from when I last had my trial with her, if that could even be possible! All of my bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law looked absolutely beautiful as well and I feel like I couldn’t have chosen a better makeup artist for my vision. Thank you so so much to Milysa at Minx Aesthetics, for doing what you clearly do best and making me & my bridal party look amazing for my forever pictures. My ladies and all of my guests absolutely loved her work! The makeup even lasted through hours of dancing and sweating haha. I only had to touch up once, which she provided a cute touch-up kit for me & my bridal party as well. (Mainly lips but that’s to be expected when eating and drinking haha!) If you need a talented, professional makeup artist for your Wedding and even your engagement party/shower or whichever special event, I highly recommend her to everyone! I will definitely be booking her for future events!

Ashley Film Studios did an outstanding job capturing our special day. From start to finish, their communication was fun, friendly, creative, and incredibly supportive. The quality of their work is amazing—both professional and heartwarming. We even showed our dance teacher and he was in tears. They made my husband and me feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and the final video is a beautiful keepsake that we'll cherish forever. Watching it brought us to tears; it perfectly captures the essence of our day.

Genie artistry was absolutely incredible for my wedding. We were a big group, 12 for makeup and 10 for hair. They finished us early, had time for touch ups and nothing about it felt rushed. The morning moved seamlessly and smoothly. Jeanine and her team are one of the best. I also had an extremely diverse bridal party and they were able to accommodate that and work on everyone. They truly highlighted everyone’s best features and each girl came out stunning. With 3 make up artists and 2 hair stylists you may worry about consistency but each member of the team is so talented, you cannot even tell who did which girl. We started at about 9am and by 6pm for the ceremony everyone’s hair and makeup was perfectly in tact. This is a rare team who can deliver excellence on 12 different girls in a 5 hour period. I would seriously consider them for your wedding/bridal shower or event.
