It’s true what they say: A wedding is only as good as the vendors you choose to work with. Okay, so maybe “they” are actually me, but I stand by that statement! It is so important to find vendors that you trust implicitly to understand your vision and bring it to life on the most important day of your life. I’m excited to share a comprehensive list of 26 of my favorite Philadelphia wedding vendors to work with and I hope you find a new vendor to add to your wedding day dream team!

Videographers
His and Hers Productions
His and Hers Productions have a knack for turning special moments into epic love stories on film. When we teamed up for Dayna and Bo Thomas’s dreamy September wedding at the Farm at Eagles Ridge, magic happened. Their videos are like diving back into the day, full of all the feels and beautiful details. Trust me, they’re the real deal at capturing those once-in-a-lifetime memories. Owner and lead videographer Leah also writes music for major network television! Her musical background helps her select the perfect soundtrack for your wedding film.
Tag Visual
Tag Visual has a magical way of capturing every wedding story, and Emily and Jordan’s August celebration at Appleford Estate was no exception. Their team blends seamlessly into your day, catching all those fleeting moments with grace and creativity. The film they crafted for Emily and Jordan was a true work of art, filled with emotion, laughter, and love. Partnering with Tag Visual means your memories are in the hands of storytelling masters.

Nicolette and Chad’s wedding at Excelsior in Lancaster was designed and executed impeccably by the Spruce Events team.
Florists
Margaux St. Ledger
First impressions are everything, and when you first land on the website of Margaux St. Ledger Florist, the wow factor is immediate. The effect is the same as soon as you step into any wedding or event space that Margaux has designed with her incredible floral artistry. Margaux’s personal style is exquisite and, as a former international model, she draws influence from her past fashion endeavors and global travel.

Petals With Style is a luxury florist located in Lancaster, PA. They seek to inspire their clients while providing unique and beautiful on-location floral designs. Their work constantly wows guests—if you work with Petals with Style you can be sure they will adorn your wedding venue with true artwork.
Hair and Makeup Artists
Vero Leigh
Veronica and her team are some of the best in the business. They can handle large bridal parties with ease and speed and are super consistent with their application. Not to mention, Veronica has such a great personality and will keep you laughing through the entire process! Lauren and her bridal party of eight were glowing & flawless for her November wedding at Excelsior!
Alisha Nycole
Alisha Nycole + Co, based out of Easton, PA, provides on-location makeup artistry and hair styling to Pennsylvania brides. They even offer hair extensions, teeth whitening packages, hair clips & accessories, and men’s styling. I loved working with Alisha’s team on Megan and Alex’s wedding day; they easily handled all eight girls’ hair and makeup, and everybody looked stunning!
Cakes
The Master’s Baker
Sometimes simplicity is best, and sometimes you want to go over the top with your cake. The Master’s Baker can do both. Their cakes are absolutely gorgeous and taste delicious, which isn’t always a guaranteed combo! I loved the simplicity and softness of Amelia and Eric’s wedding cake at their Appleford Estate wedding in May. The cake was perfectly frosted with delicately textured white icing, and the couple’s gorgeous, colorful florals incorporated into the 3-tiered design.
Bredenbecks
Kirsten and Dominic went with a classic, 4-tiered white wedding cake design for their wedding at the Appleford Estate. Bredenbecks Bakery absolutely nailed the delicate piping details and sophisticated design of the cake. The beautiful vintage cake topper was the icing on the cake.
Catering
John Serock Catering
No one wants to spend a ton of money on catering only to be served dry chicken and wilted salad. Luckily, if John Serock Catering is preparing your wedding meal, that’s the last thing you will have to worry about! One of Appleford Estate’s preferred catering vendors, John Serock Catering, nails their cocktail hour and dinner spread every single time. You can even visit their website and download their sample menus to get a feel for what they offer.
Peachtree Catering
Known for their delicious food and impeccable presentation, Peachtree Catering is a top contender in my book. They have an extensive backlog of sample seasonal menus that you can peruse on their website and get inspiration for your own big day. The passed hors d’oeuvres at Anne and Matthew’s wedding were a huge hit with the guests!
Bands
Gypsy Wisdom
Gyspy Wisdom has an infectious energy and great sound that will get every guest—young and old—out on the dance floor. They keep the energy high the whole night and perform memorable covers of your favorite songs.
Cherry Crush Band
Cherry Crush Band is a high energy, 5-person group playing all over the East Coast, including the Greater Philly region, Delaware and Jersey beaches, Maryland, and Virginia. Repeatedly invited back to the hottest nightclubs and casinos in the region, Cherry Crush Band knows how to capture the attention of everyone in the room and pack out the dance floor.
Live Painting
Event Painting by Nicole
You will not regret bringing Event Painting by Nicole (and her massive paint palette) on-site to capture your wedding day through her masterful oil painting. Not only will you end up with a timeless, keepsake piece of artwork, but you’ll also add an element of entertainment to your day as you and your guests can witness the painting come to life.
DJs
Bring on the Bash
Consistently winning the Wedding Wire Couple’s Choice Award for the past seven years running, Bring on the Bash is a favorite among wedding professionals and engaged couples across PA and MD. No matter what style of music you’re into, Bring on the Bash will set the vibe and keep the energy strong all night long. Mary and Morgan’s wedding at the John James Audubon Center was an absolute blast; BOTB had guests tearing up the dance floor.
Silver Sound Entertainment
Playing 1,000+ events each year across metro-area Philadelphia has positioned Silver Sound Entertainment as one of the most sought-after DJ companies in the area. The major thing that differentiates them is their transparent booking process. You can view the resumes and portfolios of the 20 DJs they have under management to choose the best fit for your wedding day and music taste.
Officiants
Lehigh Valley Celebrants
One thing I’ve always prioritized in my business is promoting vendors who are inclusive and welcoming to couples from all backgrounds and walks of life. I can confidently say that Lehigh Valley Celebrants shares that core value! In addition to being incredible officiants, they ensure your ceremony is an experience each of your guests can be involved in. They make each ceremony personal, memorable, and completely unique to your love story.

Invites & Lettering

This full-service design and print studio specializes in creating fully custom wedding invitations, stationery, and personalized paper goods for all occasions. My little graphic designer heart gets soooo full looking at their beautiful creations and it is a joy to photograph them. Lauren and Ben’s invitation suite was one of the most beautifully curated suites I have ever seen!
