My wife and I looked at a few places in the Morris/Sussex area in NJ. Most of which were either out of our price range, or didn't suit our needs in way way or another. We were close to settling on something we didn't like all that much since it was in our price range...until we walked into Ravello. After taking a tour of the place we knew we wanted it. We couldn't meet the minimum # of guests for a Saturday night wedding due to our guest list size, but we liked it enough to do a day-time wedding which we weren't even considering at the time.


The owner Dominic, is very polite, accommodating and professional. He had all the bases covered and made sure everything was in order. He never gave us any reason to worry about anything. The building is newly renovated, it's clean and very classy looking. We had our ceremony outside, the setup was beautiful, the grounds are very well kept and there are floral gardens and waterfalls that were great for pictures.

The food was top notch, all of the guests complimented on the selections of the food during cocktail hour. The main courses were good, nice variety to pick from and the desserts table was outstanding.

Overall, Ravello is very reasonably priced and the quality is there all-around. I highly recommend.

If you are reading this and even considering booking Blooming Studios, then just do it. We met with several other photographers from larger companies with big studios but we felt uneasy and unimpressed with them. When we met with Carla, she was very polite and professional and didn't act like a used car salesman. She has a true passion for what she does and is only interested in what's best for the bride and groom. The packages were very reasonably priced and were catered to our needs, they won't try to over-sell you on something you don't want.

We booked her husband Brian and another photographer Erin for our wedding. Carla had another wedding that afternoon, but was so gracious to come in the morning anyway and help out and take a few shots. They were on time, were very friendly and knew exactly what they were doing. They were attentive to our needs and were always selflessly concerned for us from start to finish. They never missed a beat, we have like 1,000 great pictures to pick from when we make our album.

If you book them you will get the personal touch of a small business and the work of tenured professionals. If they are available for your wedding day, don't even consider going with anyone else.

We only met with one D.J. when we were looking to book one for our wedding. His name was Bob Albrecht, and we sat there and talked for like 2 hours. This guy has such a great personality and has been doing this a long time. He'll never tell you what's best for you or how things should go. He will only play what you want and won't play what you dont want. There is no canned set-list or style for this guy, he will work to make everything best fit your needs. I left his office not even wanting to meet with anyone else, and we didnt. We booked him and we're glad we did. He was on time, very friendly and professional and did a great job from start to finish. He really knows how to read a dance-floor and was able to keep everyone dancing and having a good time for the entire wedding. He is very charasmatic and we were really happy that we chose him. If you are fortunate enough to have your wedding on the day he is available then don't even hesitate to book him.
