We can't say enough about Shore Catering and what Summer did for us. She didn't just cater our wedding—she actually helped us find our venue too, which was such a huge relief during the planning process. From our first conversation through the big day, Summer was responsive, kind, and always there when we needed her, whether we were calling or emailing with questions. On the wedding day itself, she and her team moved quickly and handled everything that came up, keeping our guests happy and fed with delicious food in our beautiful space.

  • Serves Barnegat Light, NJ

Hitched! By Harper is where unforgettable ceremonies meet authentic storytelling. I’m a firefighter-turned-award-winning officiant who crafts one-of-a-kind wedding experiences rooted in joy, meaning, and a touch of humor. Since 2010, I’ve helped couples of all backgrounds feel seen, celebrated, and totally at ease on their big day. Every ceremony is written from scratch to reflect your vibe, your values, and your story—not a template in sight.

My fiancé and I had Kevin officiate our wedding in August of 2025, and it was one of the best wedding decisions we made in the whole process! We were struggling on who we wanted to officiate our non-denominational ceremony, and with one month until our wedding day we found multiple recommendations for Hitched by Harper. The process was so easy, and for not knowing him personally, we had no less than 10 people on our wedding day asking something to the affect of “the officiant was amazing and personable, how did you know each other” and we actually had a friend book him for a wedding shortly after! Kevin was beyond impressive and we would recommend him and his services to anyone! If I could give this more than 5 stars I would.

I’m Madalina, a wedding photographer based in Miami and the Jersey Shore, but I’ll happily follow love wherever it takes me.

My approach is calm, intentional, and heartfelt. I want your photos to feel like you: beautiful, honest, and full of soul.

We absolutely loved working with her! She made us feel so comfortable during our engagement session and on our wedding day, and it really shows in the photos.

This is what dreams are made of. When I was a little girl, I had big dreams about what my future wedding would look like. As I got older and realized how much everything costs, I started to think my dream wedding would stay just that—a dream. But one thing never changed: I always wanted to get married in a little white chapel and walk down the aisle to the sound of a violin. Petya made that dream come true. From the moment I first reached out to her, we instantly connected. I knew, without a doubt, that no matter where we ended up getting married, she had to be a part of it. I’d listen to her music on YouTube and just melt. She’s cheerful yet calming, incredibly talented, and truly helped put me at ease throughout the process. The morning of my wedding was stressful, but Petya texted me with encouragement, lifting my spirits and getting me excited for the day ahead. Guests even told me how beautiful the atmosphere was as they waited for my arrival—all because of the ambiance she created through her music. As the church doors opened and I saw my soon-to-be husband standing at the altar, the sound of Petya’s violin made it feel like I was walking into a dream. I couldn’t see anyone else—it was as if her melody was wrapping around just the two of us. It might sound dramatic, but we had a very Christian ceremony, and we asked her to play worship music. It made the moment feel sacred, like God’s presence was truly among us. At the end of the ceremony, I ran up to her and couldn’t help but gush about how incredible she was. She gave us our fairytale moment.

The food is amazing, which was seen at the mock wedding tasting (this is great so you can see that they have quality food). They hold only one event at a time, making your day their focus. The main room has great acoustics and the staff are so attentive to all the details. Lisa was our maitre'd and she was truly to definition of professional.

At the heart of every wedding is the same beautiful truth: two people choosing each other. We believe deeply that love is love, and every couple deserves to feel seen, celebrated, and safe on one of the most meaningful days of their lives. Our work is rooted in respect, compassion, and equality—because love does not look one way, and it does not belong to only some. We are honored to document love stories in all their forms and to create space where every couple feels welcomed, supported, and genuinely celebrated.

To say I love my photographer would be an understatement. Our special day was thrown together in 6 weeks, but you couldn’t tell by looking at our pictures. Lauren took the time to speak with me about the moments that were most important to me, and why. After explaining to her that my father had cancer and his diagnosis was a big part of our rush, she made it her mission to capture every smile every tear every dance and every look my husband and I shared, and my father shared with everyone in attendance, especially me. She set up the first look between my husband son and I, she understood my vision and my need to be different, her artistic eye and attention to detail turned a broken down roadside stand into the perfect fall/Halloween backdrop for our first look. When it came time for my father to see me, before our guest, she set him up, back turned and captured every smile, and every tear he and shared in that moment. She created memories for myself, my husband and our family, and froze them in time with pictures that I will always treasure, and I couldn’t be happier and anymore grateful for how much love and dedication she poured into making sure our special day and every moment of it was captured

As the mother of the bride you want everything to be flawless and I worried about missing little details. But when I saw the album I realized nothing was missed, from her shoes to the way her dad looked at her before walking her down the aisle. The video had me bawling, it caught every hug, every happy tear and all the laughter. I especially loved the way they filmed the reception because it felt like pure celebration and joy. My daughter keeps telling me she can’t believe how magical it looks, and honestly I can’t either. The editing was soft and beautiful, not fake or too heavy handed. I’ve watched it more times than I probably should admit. I am SO thankful we had them, it was one of the best investments of the whole wedding.

I danced, sweated, and even did pirouettes, yet my hair and curlers remained impeccable! (This is especially impressive since my natural hair is extremely straight!). They were professional, punctual, kind, and patient. One advantage for me was that they had previously worked at Park Chateau, making navigating the venue easy. Overall, communication with Alison and her team was excellent and prompt. My mom and bridesmaid LOVED their hair and makeup as well.

We are about a month away from our wedding day and we cannot stop talking about how magical it all was! Mark, Brittany, and Tom were a dream to work with and were a big part in the day running smoothly. About a year prior to the wedding, we had our engagement session done by Mark and he makes you feel so at ease, especially since we had never had professional pictures taken of us like this. His documentary-style photography was exactly what we had been looking for. Throughout our year-long wedding planning process, this team was very professional, organized, and experienced. When it came to our wedding day, This Insane Idea was not even on our list of worries. They made sure we were comfortable and informed every step of the way. They were also very responsive. We had to make a game time decision to deal with potential spring showers and Brittany responded right away to help us decide on how to shift gears. On the day of, it was really important to us that we had some photographs of us outside and they worked with the small pockets of no rain to sneak us outside. They also had the experience to know how to expertly pivot to us taking photographs primarily inside and still capturing the sweet moments. They are first and foremost a photography company, but they have a deep knowledge of the wedding industry and took on roles outside of just photographing our day. They were not just our photographers, they were our sounding boards, our cheerleaders, our family wranglers. We cannot recommend them enough!

The photos came back SO quick, and we woke up to the most gorgeous sneak peaks the morning after our wedding! The photos are true works of art, that capture all the emotions ranging from sentimental to silly. We had a great time shooting with her and were able to have a lot of fun while doing so! We would highly recommend kamelia if you’re looking for stunning photos of your wedding from a super efficient and skilled photographer!

JB Productions DJ’d my wedding on 9/7. The whole team was fantastic! They provided us with a website that had every detail customized to me. They set up our up lighting, GOBO light, and photo booth. We received so many compliments on the Photo Booth and gave me a book with every picture at the end. Ryan and Kenny on the mic killed it. Not one person was in their seats. Thank you to the whole team!!

Hi guys! I am the owner, creator, and brains behind Swell Signature Events. I was lucky enough to start working in this industry 10 years ago. This has allowed me to learn the ropes of the business from the *absolute* best in many realms of the wedding world. I will forever be grateful to those that helped me get here. This company is truly my dream coming to fruition and I put my love for this industry in each wedding I do! I would be truly honored to be a part of one of the best days of your life!

Ashley and her team helped make our day perfect. They made sure all my decor was setup beautifully, including some 100 candles between the ceremony and reception, and everything ran smoothly. If anything went wrong, I have no idea what it is. Ashley also did my flowers, not only was it one less thing for me to worry about, since she and her team would be there anyway making everything look right, but the flowers were perfect!
