Marilyn Lamanna Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (47 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $8,500
  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

Hey there! My name is Marilyn. I live in New York City with my sweet partner, and our orange cat Maple. I’m an introverted, soft-hearted mush with an insatiable need to document the beauty in life. Practicing self-portraits in middle school eventually led me to pursue my photography degree from New York University, and I have been joyfully creating photos of wedding days ever since. To me, weddings are a magical display of the human spirit. It’s my biggest honor and joy to create imagery that captures that human magic - especially in a way that breaks the boundaries of historically gendered traditions.

Awarded Best of Zola
Marilyn was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. When we began looking for the right photographer for us, our primary criteria was someone who would photograph our day in a way that looked like art that could blend into the artwork in our house, and that’s exactly how we feel about Marilyn’s work. We are still struggling to pick which images to hang on our walls. Marilyn’s offering of both digital and film was also so fun and unique, and we chose to add folm onto both our engagement shoot and wedding day- totally worth it. Beyond her work being beautiful, she’s also incredibly communicative, quick to answer, and very organized. She always made herself available to us and was the perfect choice for two people who hate being the center of attention. We also did a pre wedding engagement shoot which Marilyn designed and chose the locations for, and it was epic. We love the photos from our engagement and wedding, and would definitely hire Marilyn again if ever we have an occasion for it! In terms of cost, of course that’s all going to depend on your specific budget, but my wife and I felt that Marilyn’s cost for her services was incredibly fair and appropriate, and we definitely would have spent ever more because we were passionate about working with her. When it came to the actual day of the wedding, Marilyn was super flexible and easy going! We absolutely recommend her, especially if you’re having a smaller wedding and love photos that are authentic to the day!

Illuminating Ceremonies 
Rating: 5.0 (43 reviews)
  • Officiant
  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $700
  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

I am your guests' favorite thing about your wedding. Since 2011, I've been writing and performing personal, meaningful and refreshingly engaging ceremonies for couples just like you and couples who are nothing like you. Couples work with me with an easy, collaborative process during which I become your favorite part of wedding planning. I take guest experience and your wishes very seriously. Your families will thank you for getting somebody who makes the ceremony light while still making clear how beautiful it is that you found each other. I officiate all over the US.

Awarded Best of Zola
We love Chris! He was so incredibly genuine, kind, hilarious, and he knows how to handle a crowd. He was certainly born to be doing what he does. He spent months in communication with my husband and I making sure he knew us as a couple. I recently attended a wedding where the officiant mispronounced the brides name throughout the whole ceremony. Chris is the opposite of that. He’s going to know you and your story by the time he’s up there marrying you. And to top it all off, he dropped a wisdom bomb piece of advice on my husband and I, on the day of our wedding, that I think of often. I absolutely cannot recommend him enough!

Kenny Fiesta 
Rating: 5.0 (40 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

I'm fluent in English & Spanish. The most essential package includes sound, dancefloor lights, uplights, DJ/MC and professional appearance. I've been DJing for 25+ years, and been focusing on weddings for the last 4 years.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we first started looking at DJ’s and music for our wedding, I originally wanted a violinist and/or cellist. I met with one business, they were late and unprofessional but the price seemed reasonable for two musicians. That same night we met with Kenny and the difference was substantial. Kenny was on time, had a presentation ready to go, was incredibly professional, and highly personable. We met several times throughout the planning process and felt very comfortable with him. He’s so down to earth and really lets you know he is there for you, not anyone else. Kenny is worth every single cent, he was our favorite wedding vendor. The communication was impeccable. We did not have a wedding planner, with my type A personality and Kenny’s expertise, we stayed perfectly on time, announcements were seamless, and it was truly such a great day. At the end of the reception, day of, I asked to dedicate a song to my husband (“Shout” #gobills) and at first Kenny thought he didn’t have it. But guess what… we ended the wedding with our closest friends singing and cheering on our Buffalo Bills. It was a moment we will never forget, all thanks to Kenny. Go ahead and book him, he truly elevated our wedding experience and everyone loved him!

Thalia Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $9,000
  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY
  • Offer

Thalia is a wedding photographer based in NYC and available worldwide. Inspired by art, music, and the quiet moments in between, she brings a calm, intentional approach to the way she documents weddings. With over 11 years of experience, she works closely with her couples from planning through the wedding day, capturing honest emotion and meaningful details. When she’s not photographing weddings, she’s likely holding a dirty chai latte or re-watching The Office.

Awarded Best of Zola
I met Thalia in a professional setting and after meeting her, we connected on social media and for YEARS I knew I wanted to work with her in some capacity (ideally my wedding :)). Fast forward to getting engaged this year, I had the opportunity to hire her to photograph our city hall wedding. The photographs were everything I imagined and more but what was even better was experiencing what being in front of her camera felt like. She truly has a gift for making you feel comfortable, forget that she’s there, while still providing guidance when needed. Thalia is quick on her feet and knew how to maximize our time with her when plans on our timeline had to shift a little. She asked important questions prior to our ceremony and offered great suggestions when we needed them. She also offered solutions when I got a little carried away with my vision and started dreaming up a photo shoot that would just push our time limits (which I appreciated). If you love her work and her images, I promise you won’t regret your decision of hiring her!

Sound River Studios was the perfect venue for our May 2024 wedding! We had not initially considered a raw space for our wedding reception. However, after meeting with Una and discussing the seemingly infinite possibilities for the space (along with soaking in the spectacular views of NYC), we were completely sold on the venue. We are so glad we made the choice to celebrate our wedding at Sound River Studios! We took advantage of the dock at the venue and had our guests arrive to cocktail hour by boat which was a unique highlight. The dock is also a beautiful spot for photos! Una was beyond helpful in the planning process and she was always available to answer any questions we had or to brainstorm ideas with us and our vendors. We would highly recommend Sound River Studios to any couple looking to have a memorable NYC wedding!

Awarded Best of Zola
Lauren was an absolute life-saver throughout our wedding journey. Her organization is truly a superpower. I have genuinely never seen anything like it. From timelines to vendor coordination to small details I never even thought about, she handled everything with a level of care and precision that eased so many of my anxieties. She worked with every vendor on the day of the wedding, coordinated absolutely everything, and took literally every task off my hands. She also helped bring our décor to life so beautifully. Knowing she was behind the scenes handling it all allowed me to be fully present and actually enjoy the day. Any time even the smallest issue came up, Lauren handled it instantly, calmly, and with such confidence that I felt completely supported. She reassured me at every turn and made the entire experience feel so much lighter. I honestly do not know what I would have done without her. On the wedding day, Lauren and her husband were phenomenal. They made sure everything ran smoothly so my husband and I could focus on celebrating. Her husband even helped bustle my dress, which was so kind and so helpful. I tell every newly engaged couple the same thing: get a coordinator, whether it is month-of or day-of, because it will completely transform your wedding experience. And if you are lucky enough to work with Lauren and City and Terrace, you are in the best possible hands. She is the one you want by your side

Working with Greta for our February 2025 wedding was a dream come true. From the moment we met with her (and even before we signed a contract with her) she was incredibly supportive and helpful. If you want someone who is going to take care of every detail before you can even think to ask about them, she's your girl. From our first call, my husband and I knew we would be working with her. She has such a calming demeanor but she's also incredibly resourceful and uses her knowledge and abilities to the max. Having no family in the area, I really had to lean on her for a lot more than I thought I might, especially when I was having issues with my wedding dress. She even came with me to pick it up the first time!! Greta has so many connections and really knows her stuff when it comes to weddings. She'll be real with you about what's possible within your budget and she really helped us stay within ours - she has a great system that she provides you access to. I could go on and on about how amazing she is. I'm just sad that our wedding is now over and we won't have a reason to connect! We love you Greta!!!!

Vivian from Vivian Pang Floral Creative brought our floral dreams to life and then some. We wanted something romantic with a touch of whimsy and Afro-Caribbean influence, and she absolutely nailed it. My bouquet was stunning…a literal dream. The tablescapes were pure magic. What impressed me most was Vivian’s creative vision. She took time to really understand our vibe and worked seamlessly with our planner to design something that felt unique and deeply personal. The way she incorporated coconut shells and cocoa beans into the decor was such a thoughtful, unexpected touch that tied everything together beautifully. Every detail felt intentional and artful.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Jessica and the Pine Events Co. team for design and planning was the best decision we made for our wedding! We got married at Brooklyn Steel in Williamsburg — a first for the venue — and from our very first meeting through the wedding day, Jessica completely understood our vision. She handled every twist and turn of vendor management with professionalism and a positive, can-do attitude. Every detail — from the timeline and floor plan to décor and vendor logistics — was executed flawlessly. Jessica and her team transformed a raw music venue into a stunning, one-of-a-kind wedding ceremony and reception space. She’s incredibly creative and resourceful, finding ways to bring our Pinterest vision board to life. For example, I had fallen in love with a floral tablecloth that was far outside our rental budget, and Jessica managed to source it herself — it became the centerpiece for our sweetheart table and the color inspiration for all our flowers and décor. The PEC team also designed beautiful displays for our merchandise stand (leaning into the concert theme) and our cards and gifts table, adding so many thoughtful touches throughout the day. Behind the scenes, Jessica and her team handled everything with such grace and professionalism that we were able to be fully present and enjoy the moment. Our family and friends couldn’t stop commenting on how seamless and magical everything felt! We can’t recommend Pine Events Co. enough — they made our dream wedding possible.

Dj Sparkx Entertainment was an incredible experience from start to finish. From our initial contact to the post-wedding follow-up, he was consistently professional and attentive. Our wedding took place in December 2024, just a few days after Christmas—a timing that had both its challenges and blessings. Despite the busy holiday season, Dj Sparkx took the time to thoroughly go over all our preferences and ensure everything was perfectly planned for our big day. On the wedding day, he exceeded all our expectations. Our guests are still raving about how engaging he was and how skillfully he played music that resonated with both sides of our family. Dj Sparkx masterfully balanced the Caribbean spice with the classic American hits, making the event enjoyable for everyone. He is versatile and does his research for any cultural background! He also made it a point to ensure that my husband and I had time on the dance floor and enjoyed ourselves. What stood out the most was how collaborative he was throughout the process. He listened to our ideas, shared his expert opinions, and every suggestion he made elevated our wedding to another level. Trusting a vendor with one of the most important days of your life can be daunting, but my advice is simple: trust Dj Sparkx! The photobooth was also a fantastic addition. Dj Sparkx added a special touch by surprising us with a photo album filled with messages from our guests—a keepsake we’ll treasure forever. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to work with Dj Sparkx. He is professional, cost-efficient, and, most importantly, an absolute joy to work with. Highly recommended!

Hi, I’m Dawa. With a background in fine arts and over 200 celebrations captured, I view your wedding day as a living story. My approach blends journalistic honesty with a refined editorial touch, creating a relaxed experience that lets you stay present. I’m a big believer in being flexible and keeping the energy light because when you’re having fun and feeling at ease, that’s when the most effortless, timeless moments happen. While I focus on capturing moments as they naturally unfold, I’ll also gently guide you with poses and direction when needed, so you never feel awkward or unsure in front of the camera.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Kinjo and Dawa for our September wedding in Cape Cod this year. To say we are thrilled with the whole experience of working with them - from our first call to getting our photos and video - is an understatement. They are professional and also so fun to work with. Our wedding day was unseasonably HOT, despite these conditions they were moving around capturing everything all day and all night. Something so special is that they stayed until the very end - I know other photographers don't always do this. In showing our photos to our friends and family everyone is absolutely blown away and we've gotten comments like - "These are the best wedding photos I've ever seen," "How did they capture the moment/everyone's personalities so well!?" In being in other weddings recently, I've interacted with a lot of photographers and Kinjo and Dawa are by far the friendliest, most joyful and fun photographers I've interacted with (and trust me, you will want this on your big day - it makes a huge difference!) and their work is top of the line! The only challenge is that it will take months for you to choose which photos to post/put in an album, because they are all SO good! :)

Anika her team are wizards. Floral was my biggest priority and central to the overall vision. Not to brag, but several guests remarked on how it was "the best wedding they've been to," which I fully attribute to Marigolds. From the start, Anika was responsive and considerate. Throughout the process, she was incredibly supportive (especially when we, err, fell off with admin) and consistently patient. @New Brides! This is a unique skill that you'll cherish from your vendors! On top of being an absolute pleasure to work with, she and her team are true artists. I ambitiously asked for live moss to be installed on columns in the reception space and she delivered. All of my guests were floored. I can't think about it without wanting to cry! Moss aside, Anika and her team push boundaries across everything they do. From the bouquet and boutonniere, to the ceremony arch, it's clear that she has a distinct understanding of structure and design. The table scapes were also visionary, designed from moss platforms with anthuriums, garlic, and beech mushrooms–the latter coming as a complete surprise. She listened to our budget concerns, suggested reasonable and beautiful alternatives when necessary, and delivered unbelievable work. Can't recommend Marigolds Florals enough. Total professionals and artists. Seriously. Book them!

Her approach to using the finest and highest quality ingredients is always present in each of her cakes. I strongly recommend Petite Fleur Cake for your event and can guarantee you will be beyond excited about working with Karen.

Nelle is amazing, from the first conversation to meeting in person to executing my wedding vision, she did it all. I could not have asked for anyone better. Everything was beautiful.
