I’m getting emotional just writing this, but Springside Inn truly made our wedding dreams come true. The facility itself is STUNNING and so versatile!!! We decided to have our ceremony in The Grove (beautiful outdoor area surrounded by trees) and our reception in the ballroom, but there are so many options and different ways to use the venue that no 2 weddings are alike. The rooms we got to stay in too are also absolutely gorgeous. Antique charm but state of the art amenities. I am not exaggerating when I say the food and cake were some of the best things I’ve ever eaten in my 29 years of existence. So customizable and delicious! The chef and catering staff are so nice and talented. And last by certainly NOT least…the site coordinator, Chris, is an absolute angel. As soon as we booked the venue, she guided us EVERY step of the way with planning. She is an absolute expert on all things wedding planning and ensured the day went so smoothly. She is such a calm presence and was so attentive, helpful, reassuring, and just overall one of the nicest human beings I’ve ever met!!! I feel like I will never be able to express my gratitude for her enough. Springside Inn is an absolute dream in every shape or form and I could not recommend them enough Love, Jacqui and James Married 9/28/24

  • Serves Clay, NY

Juliette's photography seeks out authentic and candid moments that allow her couples to feel comfortable, vulnerable and fully present on their wedding day. Juliette's work is inspired by nostalgia, incorporating disposable cameras, 35mm film, and 90s camcorder throughout the day. Her love for visual storytelling is inspired by her favorite films and music, the details of the day, and her couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
At almost every moment leading up to our wedding day we knew we had made the right decision in hiring Juliette. We talked with quite a few photographers and videographers before settling on her and the main reason we did is just how easy she is to communicate and connect with. Always making us feel prioritized and accommodated to without overwhelming us. Any adjustments we made she was willing to roll with and always encouraged us to make decisions that would make us happy instead of anyone else. The pictures and videos themselves also turned out wonderful. Our main desire with hiring a videographer was to have someone capture as many special and genuine moments as they could while we enjoyed our day as carefree as we could. She most certainly succeeded on that front. My wife and I can’t recommend her enough, she made everything a breeze.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am honestly not even sure where to start. Charmaine was absolutely incredible. Originally, my husband and I were very nervous about hiring a florist. I mean, flowers are expensive! After a few weeks of wedding planning, however, we realized that we couldn't do it all ourselves. That's when we reached out to Charmaine. During our first call, I explicitly expressed our budget concerns with her. She made sure to keep our concerns in mind throughout the entire process, and the results were beautiful flowers that were right in our price range! Charmaine was consistently professional, kind, and she always responded to my texts and calls within minutes. Even though I hired her as a florist, she turned out to be a wonderful wedding planner as well! The florals were absolutely stunning! She went above and beyond for both the ceremony and reception. We received so many complements on them. I cannot recommend her enough for weddings and events!

  • Photojournalistic style

Hey- I'm Nicole. When I'm not working with the raddest couples I'm typically brewery hopping with my wife, or home spending time with my three dogs. I live for SU basketball, and love just about any other Syracuse sports team (Crunch, Mets - count me in). I have been photographing weddings for over ten years, and in that time have had the opportunity to travel around the world and meet tons of new friends.

Awarded Best of Zola
TLDR: If you want photos that capture the true, vibrant goodness of your day then book Nicole! She is a consummate professional who can help even the most camera-shy (or averse) relax in front of the lens. The Deets: My husband and I loved working with Nicole from the very start! She was consistently kind, professional and punctual. Communication was easy and efficient! She made us feel like we were in such good hands. Since my husband is camera-averse, it was important for us to find someone who could make the process fun and relaxed. From the first minute of our engagement shoot Nicole made it clear that we were in the right hands! There was no pressure to “perform” and she just gave us little directives as we needed them. The mix of conversation and photo-taking was perfect to put even my husband at ease. Our wedding day continued the good vibes! Nicole and her second shooter were right on time and proceeded to be a dynamic duo. I had quite the laundry-list of portraits and they tackled them with ease. Where Nicole truly shines is in the unposed, natural moments of the day. She captured the mushy-lovey fun and tears all day, making sure to get those little moments of magic in between. Nicole worked seamlessly with my videographer as well. The two of them were less concerned about the rain of the day and more so with our comfort shooting in it. We were game and they both made that rain look like a paid actor! Nicole's photos beautifully reflect the syrupy rich colors I remember, grounding my experience of the wedding day. I can't thank her enough for reflecting the truth of our day so perfectly. Venue: Full Moon Resort, the Catskills (NY) Photo Package: 8-hrs with second shooter

Utano Event & Wedding Planning 
Rating: 5.0 (19 reviews)

  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Clay, NY

I was born and raised in Central New York. I am a military wife, that married her high school sweetheart. We are your typical family with 2 kids, 2 dogs and 2 cats. We even have that dreamy white picket fence. I started working weddings and events in Syracuse as a server, and realized that event planning was my dream job. I have worked my way up the ladder and decided that it was time to branch out on my own. My years of experience in wedding and event planning have required me to have a sharp eye for detail, excellent problem-solving skills and work in fast paced environments to make planning fun and events less stressful!

I will preface this by saying that I am not very good at event planning/emails/phone calls and was somewhat dreading wedding planning. I hired Utano Events/Beth for my day of coordinator (and later added on serving staff) at the strong recommendation from my venue. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that my wedding would not have happened without Beth! She caught so many things that I had missed during the planning process. She walked me through rental order estimates, contacted and verified details with all vendors so I didn't have to, made my decor ideas into reality...the list goes on. She has relationships with tons of vendors in the area, and if she didn't work with them before they were sure to let me know how much they enjoyed having her coordinate the wedding. If you are planning a wedding, I would highly recommend hiring Utano Events, and if you are using a more "DIY" venue that doesn't offer many services on site I would VERY highly recommend hiring them!! Worth every penny!

Alla truly brought our wedding vision to life in the most beautiful way. She was in charge of our stage decor, transferring everything seamlessly to the reception, and setting up our sweetheart table — and she executed every detail flawlessly. Walking into the church and seeing the stage decorated exactly how I had envisioned (honestly, even better) was such a special moment for me. She listened so carefully to what I wanted and somehow turned the ideas in my head into something tangible and breathtaking. The sweetheart table was so elegant and romantic — it felt like our own little haven in the middle of the celebration. What meant just as much as her talent was her kindness. She was calm, warm, and so easy to work with throughout the whole process. On such an emotional and busy day, having someone dependable and genuinely kind handling such an important part made all the difference. She didn’t just decorate a space, she created an atmosphere that felt intimate, sacred, and beautiful. I’m so grateful for her and would recommend her to any bride who wants their vision executed with excellence and heart.

My husband and I decided to hire a videographer with only 7 months to go until the wedding so we were a little bit stressed & feeling like we didn’t have much time to prepare. Rob with 123 Imaging was so friendly and happy to answer any questions each step of the way so that we felt at ease. We hired 123 Imaging for the Ceremony package only and are so glad we did. We absolutely would have regretted not having that footage. Our dog (our ringbearer) had passed away 2 months after the wedding and although not originally in our video wish list, Rob was happy to search for the footage to make sure the moment with our dog was in the video and not a moment was missed. He was also very good with communicating with us and so kind. Shout out to Amber and Christina who set up the cameras and the drone (and Daniel who ended up photographing our event with our photographer Caitlyn from Moments Captured CNY!). We would hire 123 Imaging again in a heartbeat and I recommend them to any bride & groom looking for a videographer to do the same!

My husband and I got married at Inns of Aurora in August, and we can't express enough how wonderful our experience was from start to finish. The property is stunning— unique and charming, with impeccable attention to detail. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and the maintenance staff is a well-oiled machine. But most importantly, the staff at this property are incredible, and they made the planning and day-of experience so enjoyable. The events team is accommodating, organized, and very buttoned-up. During the months leading up to our wedding, we felt 100% supported by Lindsey and the in-house team. For a property that hosts weddings on most weekends, the team always made us feel like we were their only client. The recommended vendors were fantastic, and the vendors we sourced on our own were welcomed and directed flawlessly. The food was great and the venue worked with us to curate the perfect menu for our guests. On our wedding weekend, Kim served as our day-of coordinator, exceeding our expectations with her efficiency and helpfulness. Beyond her professionalism (she’s amazing at her job) she was a joy to be around, which makes a big difference on such a special day! The other on-site staff at the property were also incredibly welcoming and helpful to us and our guests. Overall, we cannot say more good things about Inns of Aurora. The venue was the most important choice we made while planning our wedding, and we definitely chose right.

Chef Kelsie and the Gingersnap Bakery team are the best! Kelsie was quick to respond to our initial inquiry and set up a virtual meeting to discuss timeline, design, and cost. We showed her some Pinterest inspo pics and she drew a sketch on the spot. Then we picked out some cake and frosting flavors to sample, and she mailed them to our house (cake tasting and a movie was so fun!). She was always easy to reach and quick to respond. On the wedding day, she personally delivered the cake to our venue, and everything went without a hitch – in fact, we completely forgot about the cake until we walked into our ballroom to preview it during cocktail hour. The cake itself was absolutely beautiful and hit the brief perfectly; it was exactly what we wanted. It was an 8-inch single-tier token cake for the photo op, and the photos turned out great. Moreover, it was DELICIOUS! Perfect texture, just the right amount of sweet. We got their mocha flavor with chocolate ganache as our filling/frosting but asked for vanilla buttercream on the outside to match our white theme. We are so excited to eat the slices we are saving for our one-year anniversary!

Luminous Beauty By Hannah was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding day. From the beginning, Hannah was attentive, caring, and truly invested in making sure I felt beautiful and confident. She provided and prepared all the details very early on, and checked in periodically to ensure everything was going smoothly. Hannah's efficiency and talent were evident throughout the process - she is not only incredibly skilled at what she does, but also incredibly organized. I felt like Hannah genuinely loves her work, and she projected such positive and upbeat vibes that made the experience all the more enjoyable.

I pride myself on being able to work with couples of all backgrounds and cultures. I am outgoing, energetic and have a true passion for documenting your day. Each wedding tells a unique story and it is my job to tell your story. I have been photographing weddings for over 6 years . Prior to that I worked weddings as a 2nd photographer and an assistant to several regional photographers. I felt that by working with several different companies I was able to gather experience from several perspectives. I shoot with the Nikon series of cameras and Lens. During the "off season" you can catch me photographing local High school sporting events.

Working with Cassie was fantastic from start to finish. She was super responsive, helpful, and on top of everything. She was so patient with our rowdy groomsmen and braved the cold with us for our pictures and ceremony. She jumped at the chance to take pictures at all the best moments. It was grey and cloudy all day, but when we saw this sunset open up over the lake, she literally ran outside with us to get these pictures. Our friends and family have made multiple comments about how great she was! We can not recommend her enough!!

Vanessa was absolutely outstanding and made our wedding day SO incredibly special and magical. We will forever cherish how seamless she made the whole process during the planning, rehearsal and the ceremony itself on the day of. Her communication was outstanding the entire time and she was extremely organized throughout the whole process. Vanessa met with us whenever we needed/ wanted, set up a wedding workshop with us, set up a Google doc for the script of the ceremony, answered text messages or phone calls in a very timely manner and made sure everything was perfectly planned out as we dreamed of. Vanessa was diligent, did not skip a beat and helped with every detail of our wedding ceremony. Vanessa helped coordinate with all of our vendors, including our DJ for the ceremony music, our photographer and our venue to make sure everything went exactly as planned. It was such a beautiful day and we could not be happier to have been married by Vanessa, who will now be our lifelong friend. Vanessa has a bubbly personality and is so caring. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to effectively share our love story with our friends and family. She put together our love story so beautifully and she was so attentive on the day of our wedding to both the bride and the groom. We 10/10 recommend Vanessa and CNY magical weddings to be your officiant, they will not disappoint and it is the moments with your officiant that you will never forget!!!

  • Serves Clay, NY

Hi I'm Natasha! I specialize in lifestyle and wedding photography with a focus on creating timeless, emotional imagery that tells your story with intention. Based in Syarcuse, NY and its surrounding areas. I'm drawn to in-between parts of a day just as much as the big ones-the quiet looks, the emotion, and everything that makes your story yours. I gently guide when needed, but I also step back so things can unfold naturally. My goal is for photos to feel like memories you can truly feel again.

Working with Natasha McGraw was such a joy from start to finish. She stayed in touch with us throughout the planning process and answered questions right away, which made us feel confident we were in good hands. Natasha had a way of making everything feel relaxed and comfortable, even when we were nervous in front of the camera. Her photos turned out clean and beautiful, capturing the natural moments that matter most without feeling staged. We loved how open she was to our ideas and how she made us feel like partners in the process. We'd recommend Natasha to any couple looking for a photographer who truly cares about telling your story.

The moment we chose our venue, booking DJ Peter Naughton was our very next step and we are so glad we did. After reading his stellar reviews, exploring his helpful blog posts, and hearing from the Lincklaen House team how amazing he is, we knew we’d be in good hands. But even with all the high praise, Peter still exceeded every single expectation. His organization blew our minds. He crafted a beautifully detailed wedding timeline that helped us stay on track and calm throughout the planning process. He was proactive, communicative, and so generous with his time and expertise. From coordinating our wedding party’s grand entrance to perfectly trimming down the verses of our first dance songs, Peter made everything feel effortless. He honored every single request and preference we had and then some. His thoughtful approach and seamless behind-the-scenes coordination made the entire day run smoothly. The energy he brought to our reception was unmatched, and the dance floor was never empty. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the music and how talented our DJ was! Peter’s uplighting choices brought our space to life, and his attention to every little detail was something we’ll never forget. He truly cares and that’s what makes him extraordinary. I’m actually writing this the very next morning because he deserves a review this glowing. He was simply the best decision we made. Thank you, Peter, for everything!
