We put our full trust in Alyssa and wow did she deliver! I was sincerely blown away when I walked up to my beach ceremony and even more walking into our reception room. (Her and her husband built out a stunning ceremony from start to finish on our beach in 20 mph winds!) The work they put in to make such a beautiful day.. I've never seen anything like it! They had flowers cascading from chandeliers at our reception.. it was incredible. Just let her take the wheel and you will not be disappointed. I've been to too many weddings to count and the guests were even raving about our flowers! All the Pinterest pictures in the world could not match her creative ideas and class!!! Also, the attentiveness throughout the process was unmatched. Immediately upon meeting her, we stopped looking at other florists because it couldn't get any better. Her love for flowers and people and calming demeanor - what a pleasure to see and to work with!!

Addiction Floral 

5.0

Forked River, NJ
  • Florist
  • Starts at $1,000

hi. I’m Kristine, and I’m addicted to flowers. It all started in 2004, I walked into the neighborhood florist looking for a receptionist job completely unaware that two decades later, I would still be immersed in the world of flowers. My love for creating and styling beautifully unique florals stems from my background in fine art and graphic design. Flowers embody nature's art and are my favorite medium for unleashing my creativity! As a boutique, we limit the number of events we undertake each year. Our goal is to deliver unparalleled excellence and personalized floral arrangements for your special occasion.

Booking Kristine for my wedding flowers was the best decision I made for my wedding. She did an absolutely breathtaking job and my wedding guests are still talking about how beautiful the flowers were. They were truly even better than I could have imagined. My bouquet was unbelievable and every arrangement from the flower arch down to the bud vases on the tables were exactly what I had hoped they would be and more. The flowers were very high quality and my bouquet, my bridesmaids' bouquets, and the bud vases that guests took home lasted many days beyond the wedding. Kristine was so enthusiastic about my wedding vision and color palette and was great at communication throughout the planning process. She sent a proposal after our first conversation that brought together my inspiration with her ideas, and was flexible with changes I had leading up to the big day. She was so friendly and so supportive throughout the process and was extremely dedicated on the day of to make sure everything looked perfect. Even when there was an issue with one of the corsages she stopped everything to fix it on the spot so that it was ready for the ceremony. I highly recommend Kristine at Addiction Floral for her beautiful floral style, enthusiasm, and attention to detail. She has the talent, artistry, and vision you can trust to make your wedding vision come to life!

DJ Cam truly went above and beyond! As a bride who knows how to micromanage, I never felt that way with DJ Cam. He perfectly captured the music vibe my fiancé and I love and delivered an incredible performance. We wanted the music to naturally draw people to the dance floor without any emcee work, and DJ Cam nailed it with a fantastic set list. He avoided the typical "wedding-y" songs and created the party atmosphere we dreamed of. DJ Cam was super responsive via email, text, and phone, and his fun yet professional demeanor made everything smooth. He arrived early to set up and handle any potential challenges, ensuring a relaxed and enjoyable evening. We felt completely at ease knowing he had everything under control. DJ Cam is not your average DJ—he's the one to deliver an unforgettable party beat!

Let me start by saying that this bride is a bit late on reviews... but as my 1 year anniversary approaches and I look at the beautiful pictures that I have from my wedding day, I wanted to take the time to thank RB Studio and Michael! When I first contacted them I knew he was the photographer for us based on his personalized response. We asked for a bit of an unusual session from him as we wanted to travel all over the Hoboken area on our wedding day to take pictures with as many local backdrops as we could. Michael didn't blink an eye, he was all for the adventure! We were new to the area so we left it up to him to plan the day and he chose the most amazing locations, even including a coffee shop that captured part of our love story. I am thankful that we found Red Bank Studio and will be hiring him again to explore more locations in the future.

Working with Mandy was an absolute dream! For my makeup trial, I gave her a reference photo and she copied it exactly. She took my very minimal comments from the trial and implemented them perfectly for the big day—I’ve never felt so beautiful! I love Mandy’s style because I’m not someone who wears makeup regularly, and she made sure I still felt like myself. She enhanced all my features in such a natural, effortless way. My makeup put stayed all night and looked fantastic in photos. Mandy was also incredibly professional and organized. She provided a detailed timeline for myself, my bridal party, mom and (now) mother-in-law for the wedding day, which was so helpful for coordinating with my hair artist and keeping everything running smoothly. She was always prompt and responsive via email. I can’t recommend Mandy enough!

I'm Kaitlin Noel—a wife to Michael, mother to Nicholas and Ryan, and dog mom to our French Bulldog, Ellie. I’m a passionate photographer, traveler, and incurable romantic. When I’m not shooting weddings around the globe, you’ll find me in Cape May, shopping at my favorite local spots with a coffee in hand or walking on the beach. Family is everything to me and my clients are an extension of that. I could eat tacos daily, adore martinis, and decorate my home with a coastal chic inspiration. As an international photographer, I have the pleasure of traveling and experiencing new coastal towns and culters which brings me so much joy!

We hired Kaitlin Noel Photography for our September wedding in Cape May, NJ, and the experience with her and her colleague, Chris, was wonderful! From the moment you meet her to the day you receive your wedding album, you feel like a VIP. The attention to detail and the level of service and care she provides to her clients are beyond words. Her team knows what they are doing and they do it exceptionally well. For example, she was able to corral a group of 50 people, ranging in age from 7 to 90, in just 20 minutes to take a variety of church photos. If you think that's impressive, she even convinced our bridal party to pose on the beach in the blazing sun while wearing their tuxedos and gowns, capturing some truly memorable moments. At the cocktail hour and the reception, Chris was able to capture our many guests and special moments/traditions without being intrusive, ensuring that everyone felt comfortable and relaxed. The level of dedication and experience her team brings was such a stress reliever for myself and my husband throughout the entire day. It’s as if they knew what you wanted without you even having to say it. Overall, our experience was just WOW, and we would highly recommend her and her team to anyone.

Choosing Monica as the makeup artist for our wedding was one of the best decisions made by far! She understood the exact look I wanted to achieve and pulled it off flawlessly. During my initial trial, Monica made me feel as if I was just hanging out with a friend who happens to be amazing at makeup, and I booked her on the spot. The day of the wedding, she was nothing short of professional and made all of my bridesmaids, mom and MIL feel extremely comfortable. Everyone was extremely thrilled with how their makeup turned out as well, which I find isn't always the case when you're a bridesmaid, and echoed my sentiment of feeling as if they were hanging out with a friend the whole time. I definitely recommend working with Monica - you won't regret it!

We were thrilled to have FindOrion Photography as our wedding photographers. From the beginning, Claire and her team were prompt, friendly, and incredibly creative in their approach. They were professional, communicative, organized, and truly comforting to work with throughout the entire process. Claire was a huge part of our surprise wedding, and she totally understood the assignment, bringing our unique vision to life with us. She was so patient with our guests and worked seamlessly alongside us the entire time. The best moments of the day were perfectly captured, and we will cherish the amazing work they did for us on our wedding day. We would recommend FindOrion Photography to anyone looking for a friendly, professional, and extremely talented event photographer. 10/10!

Being able to look back, remember the great laughs, and reminisce a particular night is what we all look forward to. Our goal is to help everyone remember one of the best nights by telling your story through our eyes. There is no better compliment than for you to show your loved ones what happened through one of the best days of your lives.

Victor with Victory Photographs was a lifesaver after we had issues with our original photographer and had to find a replacement. He was responsive, kind, and respectful in all of our communications leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, Victor struck the perfect balance between guiding us to get great photos while also letting my husband and I enjoy our reception. His friendly demeanor put us at ease. The end results speak for themselves - Victor captured all of the special moments of our wedding beautifully with his high quality work. My husband and I felt relieved knowing we were in good hands with Victor. We'd highly recommend him to any couple looking for a talented, professional photographer who also makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera.
