Alyssa & Garden in The Pines was my most FAVORITE vendor to work with while planning my wedding. Her timely responses, constant reassurance & ideas/knowledge made me more relaxed during my super stressful/hectic wedding planning! I would recommend Garden in the Pines to ANYONE! She created my bouquets almost exactly like I asked.. she created the most romantic setting for my reception like I asked with candelabras as center pieces and candles galore ! My sweetheart table had BEAUTIFUL large florals with the exact colors I wanted. She even gave me extra flowers for my cake! At the church she made beautiful smaller arrangements for the pews. I couldn’t say enough about Alyssa! She was a delight to work with!

Eric Coleman 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
Forked River, NJ
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,000

Hello couples! Ive spent a lot of my career working with celebrities and professional athletes all over the world but have always had a connection with the wedding photography world and decided to go full time with that a few years ago! Id be honored to shoot your special day and seek out every moment I can for you, your family and your friends!

I can’t say enough about how incredible our experience was with Eric as our wedding photographer. Located at the Jersey Shore, where most photographers focus on sunny beach weddings, I was looking for something different. Our wedding took place in the fall, full of rich earth tones and a fun, edgy vibe that centered not just on romance, but on the presence of our children. It was important to us that the day felt authentic, emotional, and full of movement. And, just to make it more fun, ours was a Halloween wedding. We had a formal ceremony followed by a costume reception, and Eric embraced every bit of it. He didn’t just roll with our unique requests—he elevated them. He found the perfect location: a hidden gem that was edgy, raw, and exactly what I didn’t even know I was hoping for. The backdrop had this cinematic, timeless feel that makes you wonder “where in the world could they be,” which paired beautifully with our nontraditional theme. Photographing four young kids is no easy task, especially on such a big day. But Eric’s speed, patience, and instincts were unbelievable. He captured fleeting moments—tiny glances, quick smiles, the chaos and joy of our family—without ever losing sight of the romance and connection between me and my husband. Every image tells a story. Every photo feels felt. If you’re looking for a photographer who goes beyond the typical and brings a true artistic eye to your day—especially one that includes children, unconventional details, or an untraditional setting—Eric is your guy. We will treasure these photos forever.

Mariah was truly incredible as our day-of coordinator. She made the entire day feel completely stress-free, which is something I didn’t even think was possible for a wedding.

On the day of, she went above and beyond to ensure everything ran perfectly. Mariah is amazing, and I genuinely can’t recommend her enough!

Addiction Floral 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
Forked River, NJ
  • Florist
  • Starts at $1,500

Hi, I’m Kristine—and I’m a total flower addict. It all started in 2004 when I walked into a local flower shop hoping to land a receptionist job… and somehow never left. Fast forward 20 years, and I’m still head over heels for blooms. With a background in fine art and graphic design, I see flowers as nature’s artwork—and my favorite way to get creative. I love dreaming up floral designs that are just as unique (and fabulous) as the people I make them for.

We used Addiction Florals for our bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages. Everything came out beautifully! Kristine was able to find flowers that perfectly complemented the girls' dresses and matched my vision for minimal greenery and pops of color.

  • Serves Forked River, NJ

If you're a bride, you know that things have changed a little bit since the day you got engaged, you started making plans right away and every step it's a roller coaster of emotions that will follow you until your wedding day. Being a bride in the past, I understand the need of being surrounded by professionals that not only provide you with beautiful and organized work but you also treat you as a special person and not just a number.

Awarded Best of Zola
Chrys was more than my hair and make up artist that day. She was my fairy glam mother! She stayed with me all day for touch ups (which my now husband really enjoyed receiving too). She would run over in-between a photo and fix a strand of hair, blotting some sweat, the little things that made my wedding photos truly perfect. There is nothing worse than looking back and wondering why did no one fix that piece! When she wasn't perfecting my look, she was an absolute angel and was helping me walk around with my extra long train and giving me pep talks. When we arrived at the church it all hit me, that the big day was here and I was about to walk down the aisle, she knew exactly what to do and calmed me down while holding a fan to my face for my make up to stay put from tears. She is truly the kindest and most genuine person. I was so lucky to have her with me during that moment! Now... for why you're reading this review, the hair and make up skill. 5 stars!!! Chrys is beyond talented! I loved her work in Instagram and reached out. The truth is, you never know what you're booking in the wedding planning phase. I saw she had an amazing portfolio and was reliable. I can say booking with Chrys was the best wedding planning decision I made! NO NOTES! I'm whole heartedly in love with my look and how it all came out in photos. She took the direction and feedback from the trial and perfected it on my wedding day, I was blown away! I seriously think she was reading my mind! lol. She hit every single detail, she helped mix what I wanted and what would last on a hot June summer day with ease. I felt like a princess! Chrys also did my mothers hair and make up. She's never had it professionally done and is very picky. My mom is OBESSESSED with Chrys and her work. She also said it was the best wedding planning decision I made. After it was all over, we agreed it was so important to have someone who was full of positive and calming energy as you're anxious sitting in the chair all morning. She was exactly what everyone needs on their wedding day. A true full package, a fairy glam mother! XOXOX

Matt through Enchanted Celebrations really exceeded our expectations. He was a blast to have around, he hyped us up, picked the perfect ways to capture our special day, and overall kept us on track throughout the day. We were so happy with working with him, and everyone at the event has commented on how great the photographer was throughout the event. After getting our photos FOUR DAYS after the wedding, we could not be more pleased!

We loved the way he captured us, our energy and the way that we interacted with each other throughout the day. He really caught "us" in the pictures and we'll cherish these photos forever.

Blossom and Bee were one of the approved vendors on our venue's list. It was an easy process working with Penny and her team. I was able to pin inspo pictures on a Pinterest board as well as share pictures of my dress, my husband's tux, and our wedding invitation suite. As a bride of Indian origin, I wanted bright spring florals that also complimented the industrial/French look of our venue. I was overwhelmed by the number of color combinations I was interested in and the team helped me narrow down to the best color scheme. Something to note is that you will need to provide bud vases and rent floral stands from B&B if that is something you want in your decor. Luckily my venue provided a moon gate that could be used for the ceremony, and the venue staff repurposed the florals from the ceremony to the sweetheart table.

Awarded Best of Zola
Sandy made our wedding ceremony absolutely perfect! From beginning to end she helped us so much. Sandy was always super easy to get a hold of. It never took her more than a day to respond back to any emails we sent her (which to anyone planning a wedding knows is key to have vendors respond as quickly as possible). She made the ceremony so unique by reaching out to some of our friends and family to ask them question about my husband and I and incorporated their answers into the ceremony, which made us and our friends and family feel even more apart of the ceremony then they already were. And everyone knows that one of the post stressful parts of all of this is writing your vows. Which Sandy knows (of course) and she goes above and beyond to help with that she gave us a detailed list of things to incorporate (if you decide to write your own) along with a list of already made vows that you can choose from or use to help create your own version of. Which helped so much to alleviate some of the stress of it all. If I were to do it all again I would choose Sandy every time she was so helpful through the planning of it all and when it came to the actual execution of it, it was perfect and true to her business name, felt like it came right out of a storybook written just for us.

Hello! My name is Fen, nice to meet you online! I’m a freelance cinematographer and editor. I split my time between shooting weddings and indie films. I enjoy doing both because I love the thrill of operating a camera and I love people and stories! I have shot almost 400 weddings and I edit everything myself. In my spare time I love swimming, hiking, skiing, traveling with my family, writing and learning all kinds of stuff. I’m very curious about the world!

We initially didn't think we wanted a videographer, but we hired Fen and are so glad we did! We chose Fen because we really liked her style of capturing the whole day without disrupting anything "for video," which she said was her style. She was generous and ensured she had a clear plan of what we wanted ahead of time. Fen was really easy to work with and captured our entire day without disrupting us. We are so, so thrilled we hired her and can't wait to see the final video!

My fiancé and I took our engagement photos at Resorts Casino and we had the best experience! We chose Resorts specifically for the nostalgic charm that the casino and grounds offer. Nancy, the events manager, kindly tended to all of our questions and needs before and during the shoot. She made sure we were escorted by security as she guided us to all the best spots around the casino and the rest of the building to take photos. She walked us through a beautiful ballroom to get to the balcony with an amazing view of the boardwalk and the famous Resorts sign to get incredible pictures. Lastly we were able to shoot in the lovely classic theater that we didn't even know existed and was perfect for the theme of our photos. There are a variety of options to choose from whether you're planing a wedding, engagement party, bridal shower, bachelorette party (which we saw while stayed there) or just taking photos like us. I definitely recommend Resorts Casino for an event during your wedding journey.

We loved the flowers and the custom choices. We also loved the budget friendly rental option! And finally, I personally loved the fact that it was environmentally friendly, since those custom flowers can be redone for another bride later. They were also very accommodating regarding a last minute addition (surprise flower girl!)
