Skylark Music 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Rifton, NY

Jesse and Justin have been playing music together since they met performing in a band at Disneyland in 2001. After moving to Beacon, NY around the same time, it made sense to start an official wedding music business to share their love of music with some of the many happy couples getting married in the Hudson Valley. One thing they love about playing music for weddings is the variety that is required of them. Every gig is different and they all happen on one of the happiest days of the clients' lives!

If you are currently wedding planning and debating between the elegance of live musicians or the versatility of a DJ, stop looking and hire Justin and Skylark Music immediately. Working with Justin was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our big day. With Skylark, we effectively "had our cake and ate it too." We were initially torn because we wanted the romantic atmosphere of live instruments, but we also wanted a high-energy party with our specific favorite songs (which a band is often limited by). Plus, full bands are insanely expensive. Justin offered the perfect hybrid solution. We were able to have a stunning guitar, violin, and cello trio for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and then transition to Justin DJing the reception. It was the best of both worlds—we saved on the cost of a 10-piece band but sacrificed absolutely nothing in terms of quality or vibe. Beyond the music itself, Justin’s professionalism is unmatched. He walked us through every step of the planning process. But the true test of a vendor is how they handle stress. A couple of months before our wedding, our venue suddenly updated their outdoor music guidelines. We were in a total panic, thinking our ceremony plans were ruined. We let Justin know, and he responded immediately with a calm, "can-do" attitude. He adjusted the instrumentation to meet the new rules quickly and sorted it out without us having to lift a finger. He also went above and beyond to personalize the evening. We have a close friend who is a singer, and we wanted her to perform a couple of songs during the reception. Justin didn't hesitate; he coordinated directly with her to ensure the audio levels were perfect and the logistics were seamless. It ended up being such a special moment, and Justin made it happen effortlessly. And then, there was the party. Justin transitioned to MC/DJ duties and read the crowd perfectly. Because we chose the DJ route for the reception, we got to hear the original versions of all our favorite tracks. The dance floor was absolutely wild all night long. The energy was so high that at one point, while we were taking portraits outside, our photographer actually stopped and told us, “There is literally a rave going on inside.” From the elegant strings and the special guest performance to the absolute rager at the end, Justin executed everything perfectly. If you want a stress-free experience and a vendor who truly cares about your day, hire Skylark Music!

I can’t say enough great things about Annaliese & Co.! From my first convo with her, to my trial and then the wedding day itself, Annaliese was a total dream to work with. She was professional, responsive, and made sure I felt comfortable and confident every step of the way. On my wedding day, my hair turned out absolutely perfect. I felt truly beautiful, and that was such a huge part of making the day feel special. Annaliese paid attention to every little detail, making sure I was completely happy with the final look and was so flexible with any changes I wanted to make, no matter how big or small. Annaliese and her co-stylist, Heather, were absolute pros! Not only did Annaliese work her magic on my hair, but they both styled the hair of five other women, including our little 5-year-old flower girl. Everyone loved their styles and looked and felt stunning, and the whole process felt like we were getting pampered! What was also beyond impressive was how well the styles held up throughout the entire day and night—everything stayed flawless! Annaliese and Heather were truly my wedding day heroes. They made the getting-ready process so much fun, and their calming presence helped ease my wedding day nerves. I can’t recommend them enough!

My name is Bekah Polonsky and I am a bridal makeup and hair artist with a lifelong love for beauty and creativity. I trained at the Makeup Academy by Nina Mua, where I honed my technique, deepened my knowledge of skin tones and textures, and learned how to create looks that last through happy tears and dance-floor moments alike. My style is all about enhancing what makes you feel your best. I love creating looks that are fresh, timeless, and completely tailored to your personality. My goal is to make you feel confident, radiant, and totally yourself when you walk down the aisle.

Bekah was the best decision that I could have made for my wedding!!! She made my wedding day feel magical and supported me every step along the way. From the first message, I knew that I could rely on her to be there for me; she was always responsive to my messages and was more than fair with her pricing. Even during the trial, I felt like I could vocalize any concerns/questions easily. She is extremely skilled and color matches to all skin tones. All of my bridesmaids loved their makeup and loved their time with her as well. I'm crying writing this review because I do not know what I would have done without her. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would. You need her on your team!!

You know that all encompassing feeling when you’re revisiting a vivid memory? You can smell the fresh air, feel the way the sun hits your face just so, hear the voice of the loved one next to you, remember the joke that they delivered and instantly you’re laughing all over again. That magic is what I hope to capture as your photographer. It’s my job to hold those moments in time so that they don’t have to fade. You’ll forever be able to revisit the moment, see the exact way they smiled, revisit that incredible sunset, relive the memory and turn back time.

Where do I even begin with Jessica? From our initial meeting straight through our wedding day Jessica has been amazing. The work that she does can speak for itself. Jessica captures photos that are posed and candid with a simple ease. We have gone through our wedding photos and anyone that looks at them can feel the love that we have for one another. Jessica makes you feel comfortable when you are working with her. I hate being in front of the camera but with Jessica capturing our special moments all one can be is comfortable. On your wedding day when Jessica says if anyone messes with you not to worry for she will fight the fight. If something goes wrong she finds a way to make it right. If you are a selfless person she will tell you that you have every right to be selfish. Jessica made our wedding journey relaxed when it came to the photography. She also knows how to pick just the right second shooter for your event. Thank you for picking Emily for ours. I tell all the couples that I work with at my job to book the vendors that you click with; be comfortable with them. It makes a big difference. Mike and I can truly say that Jessica is a wedding super hero and along this journey we are proud to call her FRIEND!!!

Y’ALL literally look no further for your floral and decorative wedding needs! I am absolutely AMAZED with what heather and her team were able to accomplish for my wedding day. The artistry, professionalism, attention to detail, communication, ALL of it is truly impressive and I couldn’t be more thankful! The entire year leading up to my wedding I have been in touch with heather and she has been SO patient, helpful, and amenable to my pickiness lol. Everything was exactly the way I pictured in my head (even better actually). As soon as she arrived to the venue, she came to drop off our BEAUTIFUL bouquets at the bridal suite, gave my a hug, basically said “don’t worry I got this” and I never saw her again lol she came, dropped some magic, and vanished! Never had to worry about a thing with her there. I am so incredibly thankful for her and her team, 10000 thank yous! Highly highly highly recommend!

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Dave ('Fish') as our wedding MC & DJ. From our first meeting, he knew exactly how to mitigate the stress and bring out the best of both of us. He was ALWAYS the first of my vendors to write back to an email, even the night before the wedding to perfect the bride's processional. And not for nothing, but our guests also loved him; song selection was on point, and we could enjoy the night knowing he had everything under control. Might just have to get married again to hang with this guy one more time.

Working with Scott and his band was the best decision we made on our wedding day. We had a very specific vision where we would have a jazz quartet during the cocktail hour and have the pianist and bassist play classical music during the cocktail hour. While this was an atypical setup (usually Cello and Piano), Scott's band was up to the challenge and they absolutely nailed it! I even got to get up and sing a Sinatra standard, and play a tune on trumpet with the cocktail band to my now wife! What great energy the group had, they welcomed me in with open arms and smiles, and we really couldn't have asked for a more perfect day!

Richard is the VIBE! I can't give enough stars! From the unexpectedly windy engagement shoot, to the magic of the 1st look, to the moody magazine worthy portraits, to capturing the best moments all night..he adapted and integrated himself into our day and our family with ease. He blended into the background and truly felt like he was part of the party! Richard is a true professional! He comes off super relaxed and casually says he "has some ideas" and then he turns on the magic. He plays with the lighting and the surroundings and the weather and adapts any moment and any backdrop into a canvas for his art. I really could go on for paragraphs over how spectacular he was to work with, and it brings tears to my eyes to write this after I relive our wedding day in each and every photograph he took that day. I can feel every moment all over again and it is truly remarkable! Thank you Richard for becoming part of our family! xoxo -Lauren and Chris

Lisa was hands down one of my top vendors for my September 2024 wedding. Ultimately when booking vendors we had two non- negotiables- affordability and character. I met with several photographers before her and either their pricing was not within our range or I didn’t feel any “connection” with them. When I met Lisa over FaceTime I was in Target with my two toddlers because I had my schedule mixed up. She laughed about it and we were able to have a productive meeting despite the mix up. I hired Lisa not long after and I am so glad I did. Besides from being a phenomenal photographer, her personality is what put the cherry on top. She is detail oriented and assertive - like myself- and had a very efficient way of photographing our bridal party where we were even able to enjoy our cocktail hour without having a first look. She was excellent and extremely patient with our two kids. Our family loved her as did we! We were even able to get her out on the dance floor for a bit! We wish we didn’t live so far away otherwise we would be using her as our photographer a whole lot. Thank you Lisa for being such an important part of our day and for having such an incredible heart.

A good friend of mine has said that my brand is to care. She isn’t wrong-my brand is one of caring because my being is one of caring. I’ve been a wedding photog for 14+ yrs. I find that being a wedding photog is a gift - I barely have the words to describe how special it feels to be invited into clients’ most momentous & intimate wedding moments over & over again. I’m a champion for the weird & whimsical, the fun & funky - even & especially on wedding days. Plan your day the way you want to, trends be damned. Let your wedding day reflect your joy. That’s what we’re all there to celebrate, anyway. ✨

Erica is AMAZING!!! From our very first consultation call with her, my fiancé and I knew she was the best choice for our engagement shoot and wedding. We laughed and chatted and felt comfortable right off the bat. I have been told that you end up being around your wedding photographer more than almost anyone else on your wedding day - so it's super important you feel comfortable around them, so I was thrilled to feel like I have known her for years just over a Zoom call! Then, she managed to fit us in her schedule last minute, and drive over 3 hours to us in the Greater Boston area to shoot at the Arnold Arboretum! Talk about going above and beyond!!!! She frolicked around the park in the cold with us, LITERALLY climbing in and out of bushes and trees to get these gorgeous shots. You couldn't tell by the photos... but I was super duper nervous going into the shoot. I’m not a huge fan of my picture being taken… and the thought a professional camera made me feel extremely anxious. But Erica was so kind, and calm, and made me laugh and feel comfortable literally immediately!!! My fiancé and I are sooooo awkward too, but she expertly posed us in many different ways that make us look like pros LOL! A day that I had so much anxiety for… ended up being such a blast for both of us, truly. JUST THE SHOOT IN ITSELF will be a wonderful memory we will cherish forever. And then she got us the photos in record time, I couldn't believe it! So fast!!! And to no surprise, they were all incredible. It's so hard to choose a favorite, I have like 10 haha. I am beyond excited to have her shoot our wedding in the future. Five stars for EVERYTHING! Seriously. She is so incredibly talented!!!!

We got married on our property in upstate NY and KR occasions helped provide day of coordination and SO much more. Kayce who is the founder, owner and operator helped coach us through the process, provided regular therapy and sourced some amazing vendors, who made the day so special. I would highly recommend that anyone getting married either at a venue or on your property use a coordinator so that you can relax on the day and feel assured that all will go to plan. Kayce is very experienced, knows what works and what doesn’t and fully takes charge to get the job done. People don’t generally follow directions at events and Kayce made sure that we stayed on schedule and didn’t have any regrets after the big day. Highly recommend KR occasions - you will be in safe hands and won’t regret the investment.

From gathering all the important information about your wedding in detail to having emergency plans in place to make sure there are no interruptions. I go the extra mile in everything that is done.

My wife and I had Lou DJ our upstate wedding and it was more than we could have dreamed of. From the beginning, he was nothing but professional. He met with us multiple times prior to the event to go over music selection, flow of the ceremony day etc. His website was very easy to use and allowed us to have a large role in our music selection for the day, even for the reception dance portion. Everything was reviewed at least 3 times to ensure there were no hiccups, and also to make sure we wouldn't have to worry about anything on the ceremony day. On the day, Lou came in very early to setup and his equipment was extremely unobtrusive and sounded amazing. From the ceremony to reception (and especially cocktail hour), the sound was fantastic and there was not a single hiccup (even with an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour!). His flow through the reception was so smooth - and as a former college radio DJ, his music choice to fill in the gaps between the 'must plays' we sent him were impeccable!!! If you have a big heart for music and want it to be the backbone of any great party while having one of the most professional guys out there - Lou is 100% your guy. Thanks again Lou!!!!

I can't say enough good things about Ani's flowers. before booking, Ani sent a draft of what she envisioned for our wedding. The inspiration pictures she sent were exactly what I was envisioning. She was so sweet and easy to work with throughout the planning process. When the flowers arrived at the venue I was getting my hair done. My bridesmaids all separately came in one by one to tell me how stunning the bouquets were- and they were right! We mistakenly miscounted our groomsmen and were short a boutonniere and Ani expertly fastened one from another arrangement without missing a beat. The florals she used for the ceremony were breathtaking as were the centerpieces. I have gotten so many compliments from our guests on the florals.

Kathryn Cooper Weddings

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,600
  • Serves Rifton, NY

This is delightfully different elopement + wedding photography! From helicopter elopements and lakeside wedding bashes to hiking engagements to weddings with bouncy houses, I capture the adventurous, quirky, and unique. Based in both New York + California, with travel worldwide, I've photographed couples on 6 continents. My creative, fun, & candid photography uses innovative techniques and unique ideas to get photos that make you look twice. Whether you're saying vows in your backyard or having a 3-day adventure wedding in the rainforest, I'll catch every spontaneous moment of joy and laughter—and plan a few unique shots on top of it all.

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot recommend Kathryn enough! First (and most obvious) (and also most important) point is that the photos she took were incredible. She captured our night beautifully. More than that though, she captured how the night felt. The photos weren't overly posy, but rather showed off how much fun and excitement there was for the entire night. I think one of the best things I can say about Kathryn is that she really made a point of figuring out HOW we wanted her to photograph the wedding and delivered. As I wrote above, we wanted the photographs to look great, but mostly just capture how the wedding felt and she delivered on that 100%. Also, as much as she made sure we were leading all the decision making, she really knew her stuff and took things off of our plate where we could. We knew how we wanted the photos to look generally, but neither of us are photographers. So we talked to her about style and vibe and she really took it from there. She was an absolute professional, a great person to work with, and kind and caring. We felt like we were in great hands every step of the way. Truly cannot recommend her enough.

We cannot express enough how much we absolutely loved our experience at this venue. From the moment we first walked in, we knew it was the perfect fit for us—not just as a couple, but for our entire family. It felt like “us” in every way, and that feeling carried through our entire wedding day. A huge part of our relief and confidence came from working with Tricia and Marty. From day one, they made everything feel effortless. Tricia, especially, was like having a built-in, experienced professional right by our side—part planner, part partner, and part friend. Her advice, suggestions, and calming presence were invaluable. We always felt supported, understood, and in the best hands possible. Our guests are still raving about the venue, the experience and the bonfire! We received so many compliments on the atmosphere, the beauty of the space, and the seamless flow of the day. Everywhere we turned, someone was telling us how magical everything felt—and we couldn’t agree more. The entire experience was everything we hoped for and so much more. We will forever look back with gratitude and the fondest memories of a day that was truly perfect. This venue, and the people who run it, gave us the best start to our married life, and we couldn’t be more thankful!

When I saw Julia’s work for the first time, I knew she was the perfect photographer to capture our engagement photos and wedding day! She is so professional and also so much fun. She made us feel so comfortable while taking pictures. Julia responds immediately and is so flexible with your vision. Julia helped us make a timeline and gave us advice throughout the entire process. Kyle and I are so lucky to have stumbled on her work. I can’t wait to use Julia in the future for more professional photos as our family hopefully grows. Thank you so much Julia for not only your amazing photography skills but for being a friend throughout this process. Our engagement photos are amazing as are the sneak peak wedding photos. We are so excited to get the rest thank you so much!

We had the most amazing time at Diamond Mills Hotel! The venue is BEAUTIFUL, and the staff is wonderful to work with. My husband and I also loved exploring Saugerties! Planning a wedding in two months was challenging, but booking Diamond Mills for our wedding venue was the best decision ever! We loved working with Stephanie, Carrie, and Brianne. They are highly organized and professional. Our wedding day was truly magical! Our guests had a wonderful time! We also really appreciate how the staff working on the day of our wedding ensured that my husband and I ate well (and remembered to eat as we interacted with our guests). The food served was delicious and we loved our wedding cake! Another great thing about booking the wedding at Diamond Mills is that the hotel is attached to the wedding venue - it was very convenient for us and our guests! We received a good discount for our hotel block. The wedding package they offer at Diamond Mills Hotel is truly well-rounded! Beautiful venue with indoor and outdoor spaces, catering, open bar, wedding cake, and supportive and amazing staff to help you plan your wedding and ensure that everything runs smoothly during the day of the wedding all for a reasonable price! I used some rental decorations, and the staff made sure to carefully pack everything at the end of the night, so shipping and packing up the following day was easy! We highly recommend Diamond Mills!
