Awarded Best of Zola
Flora Fixations was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding flowers. From the very first consultation, Nicole was fast to respond, patient as I changed my mind a few times, and truly consultative in understanding our vision and budget. The end result exceeded all of my expectations - the floral arrangements were absolutely beautiful and perfectly captured what I had envisioned. Nicole went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly on the day, and I was so obsessed with my bridal bouquet that I had it dried and preserved as a keepsake. I cannot recommend Flora Fixations highly enough for their amazing work, exceptional customer service, and ability to truly bring our wedding day floral vision to life.

We always bring love and FUN to every event we are part of. We fully customize all the music and curate the day so it perfectly matches you.

Awarded Best of Zola
The ENTIRE night...we kept hearing "Your DJ is so fun!!!" and we could not agree more! Gemma and Luv'dup DJs was so easy, fun, and stress-free to work with from the very beginning. We were assured that the music we wanted to play would be played, that they had sound/mics/audio/lights all under control, and that Gemma would dance the night away with us. We opted to do the uplighting package, and that was worth every penny too. The whole Luv'dup team was so communicative and professional throughout the entire planning process. We wanted a fun, upbeat feeling for cocktail hour and dinner, and a dance floor that was packed the whole night. Gemma absolutely delivered both, and she read the room SO perfectly to keep playing songs that the crowd would love dancing and singing to. I know I'm biased, but I truly don't think I have never seen a dance floor so crowded and happy at a wedding. We have Gemma and Luv'dup to thank for curating the perfect, joyful party. We could not recommend Luv'dup DJs and Gemma more...especially if you are getting married at Curtis Arboretum!

When we decided we wanted a violinist for our wedding just a few months before the big day, I was worried it might be too late. Allegro Event Music got back to us right away and had availability, which was such a relief. Wendy took the time to help us pick out the perfect songs, and her communication throughout the whole process was easy and responsive. The violin music on our wedding day was absolutely beautiful and added such a romantic atmosphere to the celebration. It's clear Wendy is truly talented at what she does, and the whole experience elevated our wedding in ways we didn't expect. We're so grateful and couldn't recommend her more.

Truly a white-glove service! We decided to use Press Record Co for our wedding after deciding against a traditional videographer, and looking back, it was one of the best decisions we made. What makes Press Record Co so special is that it allowed us to experience our wedding day through the eyes of our friends and family. The candid moments, genuine reactions, and little memories that might have otherwise gone unnoticed ended up being some of our favorite parts of the final video. When we received our edited film, we were blown away. It perfectly captured the joy, emotion, and energy of the day in a way that felt authentic to us. We've already watched it multiple times and know it will be something we treasure for years to come. If you're on the fence about hiring a videographer or looking for a more personal and affordable option, we can't recommend Press Record Co enough. The entire team was fantastic, and we're so grateful to have these memories preserved in such a unique way.

Just like in a love story, the wedding at the lake looked amazing, and being under the stars for the reception was something special. The main star here, however, is Craig is the Marina Inn Keeper. During each moment, from the very beginning to the end, he was there, responding to people’s inquiries, easing anxiety, and seeing that everything was perfect. There is nothing James overlooks, and his friendly personality made us (as well as our guests) feel at home.

My name is Amber Helverson, and I have been in this industry for twelve years. My absolute passion is doing makeup, and making my clients feel their most beautiful. As a little kid I was always playing with my friends hair, and makeup, and just always wanted people to feel good about themselves. Being apart of someone’s big day is always such an honor because they’re trusting you to make them look, and feel their best, and that’s all I’ve ever wanted! Please note, we only offer makeup services, but can send referrals for hair stylists!

I’m a girl who rarely wears makeup, and when I do it’s usually mascara and that’s it. Amber went above and beyond listening to my vision for my wedding day, and making adjustments whenever needed to make sure I felt and looked my best! Even one of my bridesmaids stated “I like how I look today way more than I did on my own wedding day”, and another bridesmaid reached out to me for Amber’s information to book her for her own upcoming wedding. I’m so glad Amber was part of our wedding day, and she’ll be the best addition to anyone else’s wedding day, too!

After going through dozens of hair and makeup artists, I'm thrilled to have found Becki! Her Enchanted Package was perfect for my small wedding party, and her pricing was right on point! Her style is so lovely, light, and romantic. She was incredibly helpful leading up to the wedding, sending tips and planning information regularly so I always knew what I needed to do. As someone who really doesn't wear makeup, I'm glad I decided to add a hair and makeup trial. It was a great opprotunity to meet Becki before my wedding, and she really helped make me feel so comfortable with my styling choices at the trial so I knew more of what to expect on my wedding day. Day of the wedding, Becki arrived bright and early at 6am to get us started! It was so fun to work with her, she really helped keep the mood light and is just such an amazing person! My hair and makeup didn't budge all day, even in some lovely humidity. I can't recommend Becki enough, she truly is a wonderful person and incredible artist!

I'm a pro makeup artist specializing in soft glam wedding & editorial makeup. My work has been published in wedding magazines & featured on "Say Yes to the Dress". I've helped hundreds of bridal parties feel their best with looks that are never overdone & last all night!

Roxy is a fantastic makeup artist and I recommend her for any bride on their wedding day. She is receptive to feedback, has a great personality, and does a beautiful job. I felt gorgeous, and the makeup held up to my many tears of joy and rain.

DJ John was an incredible person to work with. From the ease of communication (answered all my emails and texts in a timely manner) to his sense of humor, how well he connected with my now husband and myself, I would recommend him and Power Play Entertainment to anyone looking to have the best party at their next event! I instantly felt comfortable with DJ John, and his online portal made it so easy to give him all the info he needed and submit all my must have song requests. So many thanks for the PPE team for keeping the dance floor packed all night!!

Set across 42 acres just beyond Philadelphia, the estate is home to a collection of architecturally significant mansions, each offering its own private experience. Elstowe Manor anchors the estate with grand Gilded Age architecture and fully restored interiors, while Chelten House, an English Tudor estate arriving in late 2026, and the Carriage House to follow, will introduce two additional, entirely distinct settings. Each property hosts its own celebration, creating a sense of exclusivity that’s rare to find. With overnight accommodations onsite, your wedding becomes more than a day, it becomes a fully immersive weekend, brought to life with Landmark’s signature hospitality.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Private area for the wedding party
  • Has a sophisticated vibe
  • All-inclusive venue packages

Venue considerations

  • Venue feels large for events with small guest lists
  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • On-site parking not available
Elstowe Manor at Elkins Estate was an absolute DREAM! The venue is a gorgeous rare gem for the Philadelphia area filled with European and Gilded Age charm, which is what drew my husband and I to it. The preferred communication for them is through email and very formal initially, however in person they make you feel like family! The catering and wait staff were highly attentive to all guests, ensuring our special day went off without a hitch. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding venue.

I started as a full-time nightclub DJ and after a decade transitioned to weddings. To date I've entertained 1000+ weddings to prepare for your celebration. Many of my past clients have described me as "the most un-wedding DJ, wedding DJ there is." I don’t conform to the typical stereotypes that may lurk in your nightmares after you attended bad weddings. This includes an exaggerated voice, a bunch of inflatable props, and I do not impose line dances and tacky clichés. I focus on ensuring that your plan for the day is solid and that you are confident I understand what is expected of me. I am your DJ, your MC, and your quality control planner.

We cannot recommend Michael enough! He did a phenomenal job from start to finish — keeping the dance floor full all night and creating the perfect energy for our reception. He went above and beyond by capturing amazing photos throughout the night, which was such a fun surprise to look back on. He also flawlessly led the entire reception, from dismissing tables to coordinating speeches and transitions, making everything feel smooth and stress-free. Our day truly wouldn’t have been the same without him. If you’re looking for someone professional, organized, and incredibly talented, look no further!

Why is everyone making wedding videography so difficult? It's really quite simple. You want an amazing video that you'll be proud to share on social and still be excited to watch decades from now, but you don't want someone annyoing, obtrusive or overly expensive to create it. We get it!

If you are debating whether or not to hire a videographer - do yourself the biggest favor and BOOK TAG VISUAL!!! My husband and I were on the fence about getting a wedding video and looking back it was the absolute best decision we could have made. We laughed and cried watching our video and genuinely couldn't be happier, friends and family sent photos of them tearing up after watching our highlights video. Tag is QUICK - we got married on a friday and got our highlights video back the following tuesday, then got our full length video that very next wednesday, within 5 days of our wedding. Pat was a dream to work with, super responsive, kind, and so organized. Our videographer arrived early and blended in so seamlessly that we forgot we were even being filmed! Some of the most special behind the scenes moments were captured without us even realizing it. I can not get over the quality of our video, I felt like I was watching an award winning documentary. Hands down one of the best decisions I made for our wedding day and it was worth every single penny. We genuinely couldn't be more grateful.

Hi, I’m Josh! The guy behind the camera at JCP. I live in Kennett Square, PA with my wife and two pups. What started as a way to remember fun times with friends, my passion for story telling has evolved into a full time job. Honestly, it’s the best. I love love. More than that, I love getting to know YOU. My goal for your big day is to capture every intimate moment & goofy dance move. I want to turn the feelings of your day into something you can see and remember for a lifetime. I’m honored that you are here and look forward to getting to know you!

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot recommend/ say enough good things about Josh. We got 2 wedding videos- the teaser video & the main film. Both videos were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond our expectations. The videos capture every single aspect of our wedding day from start to finish, including the smallest of details— even details that we didn’t take note of on the actual wedding day because there was just so much to soak in. These videos are going to allow us to re-live the most special day of our lives over and over again and for that we are beyond thankful. Josh is truly the best of the best.
