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!!!

We had our wedding at The Essex Club and it was truly flawless from start to finish. The venue itself is beautiful, but what really made the experience exceptional was the level of care that went into every single detail. From the very beginning, Jessica in sales was incredible. She was organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure our day turned out exactly the way we envisioned it. No matter how many questions we had or how many little tweaks we wanted to make, she always handled everything with patience, kindness, and complete professionalism. She made the entire planning process feel so easy. The day-of staff was just as amazing our bridal attendant Jalissa and the maître D Rob were both attentive and on top of everything without ever being intrusive. The rest of the staff ran everything so smoothly and make sure every detail was perfect. Our guests are still talking about how delicious the food was, we went to all the show cases that we could and picked off experience, from cocktail hour all the way through dessert. Every dish was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or a better team.

With the creative process at the heart of all we do, hands-on service is an understatement. From day one to day-of, we got you. Plan, design, deliver- cross them off the list.

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. I would highly recommend using the n&b team for your wedding day; whether you are looking for something more traditional or going for something more unique and personalized, you are in great hands with Lisa and Ann Marie designing your dream day!!

So I was looking for a photographer to do my 35th birthday photoshoot. My birthday was in August and I was looking for someone from May. I couldn't find anyone that was in the price range I was looking for. I didn't know photoshoot was so expensive. Anyhow I decided I wasn't gonna do it again since I can't find a reasonable priced photographer. One of my co worker at the time was getting married and she was telling me about her phoyoshoot for her engagement and how the guy was reasonable and professional and so on. So I asked her for his contact and so on. I messaged him and he gave me his packages and they were the most reasonable since my search. I decided to take a chance with him after seeing the work he did for my co worker and trust me I didn't regret it. Julian was patient and passionate about his craft. My package was 25 pictures and Julian took over 200 pictures. I had fun. After the shoot he sent all the pictures for me to choose the ones I want edited which I couldn't choose just 25 because they were all so good. So I told him I can't choose that small amount . I asked him if I could choose more and he gave me a discount. He said sure. Then I choose about 30 then he said he won't charge me extra he will just give me as a birthday gift. My pictures were clean and eye dazzling. I love them all. Julian went above and beyond for all the small details I wanted to add to my pictures as well. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing photographer. And I would personally use him again. One of my best photoshoot yet.

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!

The setup looked amazing, the props were a huge hit, and every single photo turned out fantastic. Our guests couldn’t get enough — it added such a fun and memorable touch to the night. Thank you for helping make our wedding so unforgettable! Highly recommend!

I'm a self taught makeup artist, based in Central Long Island, and willing to travel. As a makeup artist with a background in drawing and painting, I turned to makeup to transform my own look and gain confidence after being bullied for my appearance as a child. Now, I’m dedicated to helping others feel amazing and empowered through the power of makeup. I’d be honored to help you look and feel your very best for your special occasion!

Nicole has done makeup for me for NUMEROUS events. Weddings, christenings, parties, just for fun.. every time is better than the last! I cannot say enough about how meticulous she is and she really listens to and appreciates feedback. I have recommended Nicole to so many friends and family members and they all say the same. Finding someone who does an amazing job and makes you feel comfortable is super important and Nicole hits every mark!

I am so happy I booked Genie Artistry for my wedding-day makeup. Jeanine and her assistant MUA could not have been sweeter, and they made me, my bridesmaids, my mom, and grandma look SO beautiful on my big day. Jeanine is very communicative, and you can see she wants to make you feel your absolute best in the makeup - on the day of my makeup trial, she asked questions about what makeup I usually feel best in, and what I was envisioning for my wedding makeup. After she did the first makeup look, she asked if there was anything I wanted to change, and was so open to suggestions. I felt like a goddess on my big day! She even covered up some bruises on my and my sister's arms on the day of so they wouldn't show up in pictures. I would recommend her to any bride-to-be!!

I am typically a Type B person in my life, but when it came to our wedding day, I wanted everything to be exactly how I wanted it. This included researching quite literally hundreds of photographers. As a super DIY wedding, I wanted to be able to look back on our photos and be able to relive it without it feeling overly filtered or untrue to how it was in real life. When we came across Fireside Sparrow, not only did the style of photography stand out to us as authentic, but you could just feel that Stephanie was authentic as well. She and Steve fit our vibe perfectly leading up to and the day of our wedding. Her attention to detail and ability to be professional but also feel like your number one fan made our wedding day run so smoothly. They’re now a part of our story forever. I highly recommend Fireside Sparrow Photography!!!
