WOW, SPECTACULAR, AMAZING, FANTASTIC…These are all words we would use to describe Chris and all of Limitless Entertainment. We had the pleasure of booking Chris for our wedding during his busy schedule and we could not have made a better choice. He made sure we had everything we wanted and more! From providing music for our ceremony, reception, and after party, to all the amazing details including dancing on the clouds, cold sparklers, CO2 gun (my favorite), handouts, all kinds of lighting that really set the scene, as well as Photo Booth for our guests to help us capture the evening! He was a one stop shop which made it incredibly easy to work with only one vendor for all of our entertainment needs. He ensured all of our music was exactly what we wanted and did a fantastic job MC’ing the evening. He is incredibly personable and has a fantastic “whatever you need” attitude which ensured our day was as perfect as could be! I cannot recommend him enough for all your DJ/Entertainment needs!

Laura was such a pleasure to work with! She was very responsive and delivered our vision better than I even imagined it. She wrote a card with each flower’s meaning which was very thoughtful, along with including my late mom’s favorite flowers in my bouquet (she took time to find them because they weren’t in season & hard to find!). Her style of florals is very natural and wild, which is exactly what I wanted. Will use her again for any special occasion for sure!

Amalia was exactly what I needed to ensure my wedding day went as smoothly as possible. Planning a wedding in 3 months was tough but Amalia kept me organized, was there to bounce ideas off of, created signage for our guest book dessert table and card box, and helped tremendously the day of the wedding. When I would get overwhelmed Amalia would schedule a zoom call to check in and help where needed. Amalia and Jenna were perfect day of coordinators and helped set up our dessert table, set up all centerpieces, set up florals and made sure everything ran smoothly. I truly don’t know how I would have pulled everything off without their help.

Her confidence and attention to detail made the entire planning process feel manageable and reassuring, and on the wedding day itself, everything ran seamlessly. We were able to truly relax and enjoy every moment knowing we were in such capable hands. The owners of Hamilton Manor were also incredibly flexible and accommodating, which made a huge difference throughout the planning process. Every question, request, and adjustment was met with warmth and professionalism. The day-of staff—especially Hannah and Lloyd—were phenomenal. Attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely kind, they made sure everything (and everyone) was taken care of. The entire staff was outstanding, and their teamwork showed in how smoothly the day unfolded. Nothing felt rushed or out of place—it truly ran like a well-oiled machine. Our guests are still talking about how stunning the venue was. The décor, the atmosphere, and the holiday touches were absolutely magical. In fact, so many of our friends and family have used photos from our wedding as their Christmas card photos, social media profile pictures, and keepsakes—that’s how beautiful the setting was. The cocktail hour was abundant and delicious, with an impressive spread that wowed our guests, and the dessert display was just as memorable. And the food overall? Outstanding—truly restaurant-quality and beautifully presented. Hamilton Manor delivered an experience that was elegant, warm, joyful, and unforgettable. Our family and friends were blown away, and we will be cherishing memories of this day for the rest of our lives.

I am Paul, a husband, father, and photographer serving the east coast NY, NJ, tri-state area, and available for travel worldwide. I have a joy and enthusiasm for life, love, and marriage. I love creating beautiful photos and capturing moments and memories but more importantly I love to photograph weddings and engagements because I love marriage and the love it signifies.

Paul was absolutely incredible to work with! We had the pleasure of working with him for both our engagement shoot and wedding, and he made every moment enjoyable. From the start, Paul was kind, communicative, and incredibly creative. My husband and I can sometimes feel awkward in front of the camera, but Paul made us feel completely at ease. He avoided overly posed shots and instead guided us into natural, flattering poses, (but still fun and creative) which turned out stunning. We were a bit nervous about finding a great photo location without needing to drive somewhere else. We thought we might be able to take photos around the grounds; Paul arrived early and scouted out the best spots, ensuring we had the perfect backdrops for our pictures. We had a few edit requests, and Paul was more than accommodating. On the wedding day, he was meticulous in capturing all of our group photo requests and making sure no detail was missed. At the reception, Paul expertly documented all the little moments that will allow us to relive those joyful memories for years to come. We couldn't be happier with our photos!

Nicole and her team at You Grow Gal Floral Design was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, they were responsive, honest, worked within my budget, and brought my vision to life. On the day of, their work was nothing short of amazing - the ceremony arch they created was breathtaking, and their cascading garland for our sweetheart table was simply stunning.
