Great Experience!

From start to finish, Rita and her team could not have been better! My wife and I had to reschedule our wedding multiple times due to the pandemic, and during each date change, Rita was extremely understanding and accommodating.

For our actual wedding, Rita was our officiant along with one of our photographers. All guests had such nice things to say about her after the ceremony since she made it so enjoyable. If I were you, I would not hesitate to use the Lamar Wedding Center for your wedding. They offer so many options at great prices, with great service. Thanks, Rita!

Love our photos!

A coworker of a family member suggested to us to use Lamar Wedding Center, and man, are we so thankful they did! Prior to our wedding, they asked us if we wanted photos of anybody specific, such as grandparents, nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles , etc. Rita and Katarina were prompt in their response to our questions, detailed in taking photos, and to put it simply, nice, genuine, people. They provided us with over a thousand HIGH quality photos to chose from! During the wedding ceremony and reception, you would never even know they were there. Our video was well edited and entertaining, and our photo album was stunning! The photos were collaged in a perfect manner, where the backgrounds faded into each other, creating a continuous flow of our wedding album. Our parent’s albums came clean cut and were placed in perfect order. We are at the age where a lot of our friends are getting married, and we have recommended them to everybody. It is rare you find a couple who loves their photographers and videographers. We can honestly say we LOVED working with them.

Are you interested?

Wonderland Women at Lamar

These are a wonderful group of women. I had to reschedule with Rita twice because I was sick. She emailed me wishing for me to get better and to not come outside until my body was ready. She was so caring and sweet and I hadn't even met her. I knew then, i wanted to do business with her. When my fiance and I finally made it, we were greeted by Dana and Collette (the jeweler) with a warm welcome and hospitality. Rita was with a client and Dana helped us. By the time we were done, they felt like family. I'm even having a jewelry party their with my girls in April..... i booked them immediately especially after seeing the beautiful work

I was very pleased with Rita and her team I felt quite comfortable and was happy with how my photos came out. When you go there ask for Arthur the most professional and patient photographer I have worked with. You won’t regret it #Teamlamarwedding

Lamar did our wedding and the team did a great job. We used them for every service they had, except for the limo cause we had a shuttle. I would recommend them over and over. Very nice staff and on top of things.

Rita provided our 'special day' with needed calm organization, and a strong personal commitment to its success.
The Lamar team was thorough without being pushy, was able to customize everything to our taste and budget; and, delivered the services and final photos in a way that surpassed our expectations.

If you look at Rita's site, and FB page, you always see her and everyone else smiling...and, that's not a put-on. She brings personal joy to the occasion, and it is infectious to all around. I would recommend Lamar Wedding to anyone...straight or LGBTQ...who wants a partner, instead of a vendor.

I'm glad I chose to work with the Lamar Wedding Center, Rita(officiant) is very professional and informative. The LWC works with your budget and makes sure everything you want/need for your big day is a reality. The vows, sand ceremony, family prayer, ceremony music(I had a live guitarist-Andrew) and jumping of the broom everything was PERFECT & Rita even had the crowd laughing a little which helped keep my tears at bay lol......Thank you Rita and your staff at Lamar Wedding Center!!!

Lamar Wedding Center was a God send for our Wedding. Choosing Lamar Wedding Center was a great and wise choice for us. Stress is inevitable when planning a Wedding. They kept the stress level down to a minimum for us. This Company was so Courteous & very Professional. They took care of all our NEEDS! From the initial planning up to the Most critical Day. Dana was so helpful with handling the Contract/very responsive. They were always there to answer all my questions, worriers & fears! Rita is a GEM, She met w/me many times to keep things on track. She did my Engagement Photo Shoot as well. It was Fun & photos are amazing! Juan Carlos, my Wedding Photographer is a true Professional. I was so nervous at times. He made me feel so comfortable and made me feel like a true Princess that day. He knows his business and from Shots of getting my MakeUp & Hair done, dress/shoes & Accessories, Bridal Party, etc; he was timely, exact and made it all so much Fun, but with a note of Let’s get this as close to perfect as Possible. I LOVED his STYLE!
Mark, my Videographer was amazing as Well. He was so in sync w/my Photographer. He talked us through shots, had us do the most relaxed moments, cutest, elegant little Shots, etc. Made us feel so at ease & comfortable. Our DJ George Hoffman was a Major Hit. He worked w/me early on w/my Music Selections; spent much time w/me on various phone calls answering my questions, offering Suggestions, etc. He was major patient w/me throughout this stressful process. My Guests Loved Him. They are still talking about this Amazing Team Of Prifessionals that made my day PERFECT. My husband & I owe them All our most humble GRATITUDE!! We HIGHLY Recommend Lamar Wedding Center, especially this TEAM!

Choosing Lamar was one of the best wedding decisions I made. They took the stress out of wedding planning, are very fair with pricing, and are just really nice people to work with. All of their vendors that I used – from Glenny for hair and make up, Irene for photography, Jack for DJ services, and Andrew for videography – were professional and amazing at what they do. Rita and Dana were wonderful helping to coordinate everything. And Lodi Flowers provided the most beautiful arrangements. Huge thank you to Rita and the team at Lamar for helping to make my wedding a beautiful and memorable day!

We used their photography, photo booth and officiant services for our wedding on August 12 2017.
Rita was a fantastic wedding officiant! Her witty comments and attention to our guests kept me from balling my eyes out. Our photographer was on time, professional, and very attentive throughout our reception. The photo booth guys were fantastic to work with as well! We received numerous compliments from our guests about the services at our wedding and after! I was also very appreciative of Rita's office staff who were helpful and always a pleasure to speak to on the phone. Thank you very much for being part of our special day and making it less stressful!

Rita was a great officiant , we asked her to make our ceremony funny and she did.She has an amazing staff. The photographer, Tim captured every moment and made our wedding pictures phenomenal. I can't wait to see our album, once done. Although, I really didn't get to enjoy my wedding (as every bride), I definitely cannot wait until our video is done. I will then get to enjoy my wedding. I hope Ara captured every details. My husband and I are having a viewing party once finished. Rita and Tim were absolutely great. Dana, who works at the office, is such a sweetheart and very helpful. She goes above and beyond with anything you need. If she doesn't know the answer, she will get it for you.
I recommend Lamar Wedding Center for any of your wedding needs. They will work with you and your budget. I am happy we chose them.

I used Lamar Wedding Center for my photographer and DJ/MC at first; however added Videography at the very last minute (3 1/2 hours before the wedding!!). When I reached out to Andrew to ask for video, his response was "see you at the church!". I am so grateful to him and Rita for being so accommodating and professional. EVERYONE loved my DJ (James Cruz) and MC; especially me!! James kept making sure I was enjoying myself and had every song I requested. My photographer (Irene Wenkel) so great to work with; professional, courteous, and put everyone at ease as she snapped away! I can't wait to see the final pics! I would definitely recommend them to everyone!

I will be using them funny wedding this year in November, but they're excellent any questions you have to get back to you with an answer right away. And they have so many things that they can help you with. If I knew that before I would have booked everything with them. I can't wait to have them at my wedding.

We worked with Lamar for our videographer. We love our wedding video! The videographer was great to work with, he captured so many great moments and the video is wonderful. Not only did it allow us to see so moments that we missed during the wedding, but we were able to share the ceremony and celebration with a grandparent who was unable to be there. They also provided us with the edited video quickly. I’m sure that we will watch it again and again over the years to come (our parents have already watched it multiple times!). Thanks for being a big part of our special day.

I can't recommend Lamar enough! The value that you get here is incredible. I paid a fraction of the price that many of my friends paid for a wedding photographers but the results were even better. Our photographer captured every single moment that I asked for perfectly. She even threw in a surprise video that we didn't even ask for. Throughout the whole process, Dana was so responsive to our questions and the final album came out INCREDIBLE. So professional, sticking with my vision and much better than I had even imagined. If you are looking for a photographer to capture your day with no hassle (as we had from many other vendors) at an incredibly reasonable cost, look no further. If I could give them six stars, I would. :)

I'm glad we went with Lamar studios for our Photographer and Videographer. Both showed up on time and our photographer "Pam" was more like a friend to us from the moment she showed up till the end. She made us really comfortable and was open to our ideas for shots. It was easy planning our event with Dana, and I was glad that everything ran smoothly from beginning to end. All I can say is "Tears of joy when we saw the end product". Thanks a zillion

We originally went to Lamar Wedding Center just looking for a videographer, but we also ended up leaving with an officiant as well, who was Rita (the owner). I couldn't have been happier with that decision.
The day of the wedding came and I wished so badly I had also used them for their limo service. I had received a text from my groom, that the AC wasn't working in the limo. Called the company directly and they were beyond rude to me and later on my sister and made promises of switching out the limos which never happened. We were stranded at our 1st look location after the limo was officially out of commission because the power steering and the belt went. When I called Rita to tell her what was happening, she offered to come and pick us up and thankfully our Lamar Videographer, Mark, was there for everything and when we were trying to figure out what to do all our vendors ended up giving us a ride to the venue. So the Lamar team was a life saver, one way or another.
Fast forward to the ceremony, Rita did an amazing job!!! She made it light hearted and added just enough humor into the mix. I received multiple compliments on our choice of officiant and the ceremony itself. She handled all our paperwork before hand, which was great.
I seriously suggest Lamar, for their services.

We used Lamar wedding center for our officiant, ceremony music, videography and photography. They were very easy to work with. Rita the owner and officiant was absolutely amazing. She performed a great ceremony and we received many compliments from our guests about her. The photo and video people were early and prepped to go. Even though we haven't gotten our pictures or video back yet, I def feel that they caught all the moments we wanted. Great value also for budget conscious brides.

My friend recommended Lamar Weddings she used their photo and video I believe. We weren't going to have a videographer but we were able to get it with them since it fit into our budget. We hired them for photo, video and officiant. The whole experience was smooth and professional. They answered all my questions even when I got a little ancy towards the end. I would recommend them, just keep in mind you don't talk to the photographer or videographer until the week of the wedding which is a little nerve wracking but in the end it worked out perfectly. They were professional and made us feel comfortable at the wedding. The pictures came out great and we can't wait to see the video!

My photographer Irene was Amazing for my wedding photos! She captured every angle, scene and moment it was unreal that she is just one person! She knew the angles to photograph and how to use the lighting. Every perfect moment on the dance floor or off, she was there taking photos and would glance at every one to make sure that it was perfect. I would absolutely recommend Lamar for photography or any other service. They are very professional, friendly and extremely thorough in their work!

my husband and I can't say enough about this company. We have made so many recommendations and everyone is happy. The situation is this: low priced with outstanding work. We spoke to the owner and she made it real simple for us: the last shall be first and the first, last. When she explained she said that typically people have to pay thousands to get with Lamar gives ordinarily. We have found that to be true when we were hunting for a photo/video company. They were out of reach expensive. When I met the team at Lamar, they put our mind at rest and we ended up paying a quarter of what we would have, had we gone with a high end vendor. Kudos to Lamar and to their team. Happy you are in our community to look out for all of us who aren't loaded but who've dreamed of the perfect wedding.

My husband and I chose Lamar Wedding Center for our DJ and Photo Booth, and we're both extremely happy we made that decision. DJ Arnie was full of energy from the moment we met him. He was as excited for our wedding as we were, and that made us feel comfortable picking him to be our DJ. At the reception, guests complimented how great he was. He followed our music suggestions AND infused some of his recommendations that got most people up and dancing for most of the night. It was great! As for the Photo Booth... we couldn't keep people away! The huge props and friendly two-person staff made sure everyone had a good time taking wacky pics, and we appreciated that people could leave one copy of their photos in a guestbook/photo album that they signed with a message to us. I would definitely recommend Lamar Wedding Center (and especially DJ Arnie) to anyone looking to have a fun, meaningful wedding.

I attended my bestfriend's wedding almost three years ago and when my fiancee and i decided to tie the knot on 20th of June this year, i knew we had to call only one place- Lamar Wedding Center. The owner, Rita Lamar, and her staff took very good care of us. They were very, very professional and helped us choose what services will suit our needs. It was a very memorable day for us and our families and i want to thank Lamar Wedding Center for making that possible.

Rita provided us the best advice, services and we really felt she became a part of our Family through the whole planning and execution of our service. She was so professional and eloquent when she spoke about our love, our commitment and devotion to each other. She got to really KNOW us as a couple. My husband and I have neighbors who witnessed our ceremony. They decided to use Rita to officiate their wedding. Matt and Vali were thrilled with her as well.
We highly recommend Rita for all of your wedding needs. Whether you are a same sex or opposite sex couple planning your "BIG DAY".

On April 11 2015, I was part of the Lichterman wedding and Lamar wedding center was there doing the photography. I was very impressed with their work. Beautiful photo quality. I recently got engaged in December and I'm aiming towards the Lamar Wedding center to work with on my wedding day.

Rita Lamar did a photography session for me for a professional headshot. I get compliments on it all the time! It was in an informal setting but appears studio quality. She improvised with background, lighting, and mood to get a photo that is artistic yet appropriate for business, and was able to skillfully maneuver me into just the right angles for the most flattering shot. I was amazed at how quickly she got just what I needed! I also have several friends who used Lamar Wedding Services for their events and couldn't have been more pleased. Highly recommend!

Rita is by far the best photographer. She was so helpful with getting the right deals we needed for our photography. She was helpful by getting everything so my girls can have hair and make up done. Everyone enjoyed her doing the photography.

My husband and I could not have been more impressed with Lamar Wedding Center! We decided somewhat last-minute that we wanted a videographer and contacted Lamar after speaking with them early in the planning process. Dana was such a pleasure to work with and she made sure everything was coordinated before the wedding. She also helped us get our DVD once it was ready. She was extremely pleasant and professional. A+ for service!

In terms of the video itself - we were taken away by how incredible it was. Harry was our videographer and he was fantastic. He had a very unobtrusive manner about him, and he did an incredible job capturing all of the important parts of the day. The video was edited to perfection. Thank you so much Lamar Wedding Center! I wish we had used them for photography services as well. HIGHLY recommended!

Rita officiated the wedding of my Husband and I. I highly recommend Rita to anyone looking for a responsive, professional, service oriented, understanding person to perform their wedding ceremony. She has wonderful ideas to share to enhance your special day. She did a wonderful job the day of our wedding. She takes her work very seriously and ensures her client's happiness with her services. She did such a wonderful job at our wedding that our neighbors asked for her information, Ken and Joyce interviewed her and hired her to officiate at their wedding several months later. Not only did she do a great job, she is now one of our dearest friends. If you are looking for a sensitive, customer centric person to marry you, ask Rita to do it for you. You will not be disappointed. As a matter of fact, you will most likely make a friend for life as we have.
Best Wishes to you,
Bill Collins $ Steve Pavone

We used Lamar for much more than photography. They provided our photographer, DJ, flowers -- and we also had Rita as our officiant. I was very nervous leading up to the wedding as I'm a very type-A, do-it-myself kind of person. If I could go back in time I would tell myself to relax, because Lamar had everything under control. Every aspect of our wedding was beautifully handled. Even when we had an emergency change of venue 8 months before the wedding!

As an officiant, Rita was down to earth and very respectful of our wishes for the ceremony. We wanted something a little unusual and quirky, and she did a fantastic job with the ceremony.

Our DJ was great - he was not too "in your face" like some wedding DJs can be. He was able to accommodate every song on our must-play list, and I have gotten nothing but compliments from many of my family members saying he played a great mix of music for everyone to enjoy.

Our flowers came out beautifully. I am totally clueless about flowers and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't bring myself to care what the difference between this flower or that flower was. I brought in a few pictures, and Unni brought my ideas to reality. When I saw my bouquets the day of the wedding, I couldn't believe how perfect they looked.

Our photographs were probably the best part, though. Justin was incredible! He captured so many little moments I didn't even think about while they were happening, and the number of images he was able to capture is astonishing!

Honestly, though, the best part of working with Lamar is that everyone I spoke with - florist, DJ, photographer, and officiant - were all wonderfully personable, down-to-earth, and treated both me and my groom with equal respect. In short - working with Lamar Wedding Center was a wonderful experience, from our initial planning to the end result. THANK YOU!

i can't say enough about Lamar. It's a high end place with lots of personal attention for a low price in comparison. The owner is hands on and everyone is approachable. We went to a competitor in Nutley and we got our money back cause the guy would never even return our calls. I'm so happy we made this decision. Will recommend to our friends. Thank you.

I just got married and since day one we've been working with Lamar every step of the way! I couldn't be happier with our choice! They have been the sweetest, professional people I could have asked for! Irene was our photographer for the wedding and oh my, I can truly only say good things about her! Amazing professional, great creative ideas, attention to detail... Every thing was just perfect. And what a breeze of fresh air to work with her! Always understanding and nice and it wasn't an easy wedding since both our families don't speak English. But she always had the patience and I can't wait to see all pictures after they get edit! We got a high class service and for the most reasonable price ever! If you just got engaged, go pay them a visit. I can guarantee you will leave there with a contract sign cause they are just amazing! Thank you Lamar for capturing the best day of our lives!

I haven't even received my photos yet, but I just couldn't wait to express how great of an experience I have had with Lamar Wedding Center so far. Everyone has been so professional and Justin our photographer was on top of everything. Everyone one noticed his attentiveness and professionalism. He was prompt and had some great ideas for awesome shots. I will gladly recommend Lamar Wedding Center to any and everyone. Absolutely awesome job, and from what I saw at the wedding and the picture I got via email I'm positive all the pictures will reflect the great things I've already seen through this company!

Lamar Wedding center was so prompt and efficient throughout the whole process. They were accommodating and answering all of my questions throughout the process. It was a true pleasure to work with them!

Tim did a wonderful job with our photographs! He was very kind and personable! His pictures came out fantastic! The colors in them were wonderful and he did a wonderful job! When talking to our guests, they said they couldn't believe how he was getting every angle on a step stool and trying to get all the action on the dance floor! My one aunt said she was actually worried about him because he was always right in the action trying his best to get the best picture! I am very grateful we had him as our photographer on this day! Both our families were very pleased with the way they turned out. We aren't sure how we will decide which ones to choose to go into the photo albums.

My husband and I couldn't have asked for better quality on our wedding day. Rita, as the wedding officiant, helped to make our ceremony intimate and personal. We received so many compliments from our guests all throughout the night. Our photographer, Juan Carlos, was amazing! He took so many great wedding portraits, creating a variety of poses for us. All of our pictures came out beautiful and we absolutely love our wedding album. Planning our wedding with the Lamar Wedding Center made this special time in our lives stress free and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

I recently just got married and use Lamar Wedding. The photographer was amazing. We just receive our proofs and they are more beautiful than I can imagine. I can't wait to see the final product cause if it looks anything like the proofs I will be amazed. It was a good from the first visit with Rita Lamar. She took care of everything in a professional manner. I will be recommending them to family and friends.

Thanks,

Lindsey & Jerome Welsh

Where to begin...we used Lamar wedding for:

Photography
Centerpieces
Florist
Officiant - Rita Lamar is the best!
DJ
Piano Player during cocktail hour

From the moment we walked in, we were instantly sold. One place to do all your wedding planning? Done deal. The prices and quality of the services are unbeatable!!

I loved that we left the guess-work to the professionals. Instead of hunting around for our dj, florist, photographer, etc, we just went to one place with the all the expertise, and let them find the best match for our wedding needs. It was as stress-free as possible. Check them out - as long as you have no problem not personally interviewing your photographer (and trust me, you won't need to, they have sourced the best around the area, my pictures are phenomenal), then you will have no problem working with them. We met with their suggested florist, centerpiece people, and DJ, and got compliments on everything we used for the wedding. People are already asking me to refer our vendors to them! I just tell them to call Lamar, and they will take care of you :)

Thank you Rita and the rest of the Lamar team. You made our wedding unforgettable!

I am SO pleased with Lamar Wedding Center's work. Not only did they give a me a price I could not refuse, but I was so pleased with everything they've done for my wedding. Everyone was so professional and sweet. I could not have asked for anything more. They were so thorough! I am so glad that my beautiful wedding was documented so well and at such a low price!! I was stressed out while preparing for my wedding, but with Lamar Wedding Center I didn't worry once about the photography or videography. It was such a pleasure having them at my wedding. I can't get over what a great job they did!!!

I tell everyone I know to go to Lamar Wedding Center since I had my wedding in September, 2012. I cannot be happier with our photos and feel so lucky to have found such a great place. The prices were so affordable in comparison to everywhere else my husband and I looked, and the quality of our images were even better than some of the overpriced photographers! Rita was our Officiant and Juan Carlos was our photographer and they were so pleasant and professional. We also had Andrew conduct a slideshow for us. In addition to showing older photographs of when my husband and I were younger, Andrew took candid photographs of our guests at the wedding! Between Juan Carlos and Andrew we had two photographers without the cost of having an additional photographer! Lamar Wedding Center gave us photographs that we will cherish forever. I could not be happier!

Lamar Wedding Center's Angela and Rita were great to work with. They provided a very reasonable consultation and gave us one of the best values of any vendor. For example, I thought that I wanted a second shooter, but Angela advised me that with the number of attendees for my wedding, I wouldn't need it and she helped me stay within budget with that advice. But the best part was, when my photographer showed up on our wedding day, he brought a second shooter with him anyway. It was the best surprise and really helped us gain the shots that we wanted. And speaking of shots, we received all 700 photos just 5 days after our wedding! Can't wait to select our photos and begin building our album!

We booked Lamar Wedding Center for video, photo, limo, and they connected us with the Florist. Andrew was or main contact at Lamar and he's such a nice person. He helped and answered all of my questions. Our photographer was Juan Carlos. He was great and his quality of work is amazing. He made me feel very confortable and would fix my veil and my dress. Our videographer was Joe. He was also fantastic and I'm sure our video will be excellent! Our limo driver was Walter and he was impressive. He had layed out the red carpet for me and held the back of my dress and fixed my veil. My father was very impressed with his attention. Once the ceremony was over, he had the champagne and the glasses ready. Excellent!! Highly recommend!!!

Tim's photos were fantastic at my daughter's wedding. I wonder whether he didn't include the "duds" in the final disc since the pictures were all so good. His manner during the day of the wedding was perfect. He put everyone at ease. During the ceremony, he was not at all intrusive. He had a fantastic eye for the venue as well as the people. And then there's the value! We couldn't be more pleased. Highly recommended.

My husband is a photographer of 30 years and we found Lamar Wedding Center at an Expo at the Betwood in Totowa NJ. He fell in love with Rita Lamar's book! Immediately he went to meet with them in Montclair only to discover that he could purchase a package to include the florist, DJ, Limo and videographer! The prices were just excellent and what we can see of the photgraher's work so far is just so beautiful and professionally done. Thank you to the staff at Lamar! And especially to Rita, you helped make our affair just perfect.. :)

We employed Lamar Wedding Center for their photography services, and also hired Rita Lamar as our officiant. We could not be happier with the results. From the first day we came into the office, all of the staff of the Lamar Wedding Center were very friendly and accommodating towards us. Their photography services are very fairly priced, and most importantly to us, being of a DIY bent, rights to the photographs are retained by the couple. Rita gave us the flexibility to write a very poetic, ecumenical and personal ceremony, which she delivered with aplomb on our wedding day. She always made herself available throughout the process, responding to emails sometimes within minutes and never later than an hour or two. Despite our wedding being scheduled for the Fourth of July weekend on the Jersey Shore, she and her staff drove down on a Friday for the rehearsal. The photographer, Derek, was a true professional, with an infectious sense of humor and a great eye for capturing our special moments. He constantly smiled throughout and seemed to sincerely have fun at our wedding. The final product were hundreds of gorgeous photographs which were available in digital form within a week, and were hosted online within two weeks. We would wholeheartedly recommend both the photography and officiant services of Lamar Wedding Center, to any couple. These are among the most important services at your wedding and Lamar Wedding Center will not disappoint.

After careful considertion we chose Lamar Wedding Center. Since it was such a special day we wanted only the best available. We were so pleased when we received our proofs. Not just by the quality of the pictures but the unexpected photos that were captured of our guests. Our photographer George was a professional and non intrusive. He captured guests and situations that I would not have remembered, being such a hectic day. I would highly recommend Lamar Wedding Center to my coworkers, friends and family members. From our first contact I knew that everything was going to be handled professionally and it was something that I did not have to worry about. Thank you all at Lamar.

We recently used Lamar for All their services accept for Honeymoon Travel(Haven't gotten around to that yet, but when we do they are #1 on our list). The price was great under 8k for all services.. My Cousin was soo disappointed we didn't hear of them sooner for her wedding... She paid 8k just for photgraphy alone with a company in Bklyn.. Guy told her her album was being made in Italy!! Two years and she's still waiting.. I had all my work within 4 months of my wedding date and the VIDEO was AWESOME the PHOTOS AMAZING!!!!! I recommend LAMAR HIGHLY! I booked my services with Angela Papa. She was a doll and a great help from the first day we sat with her! Thank you Angela and Thank you Lamar

Stopping back in to write a review for my Dec. 2010 wedding. I booked Lamar for photo and video and I was so happy with the results. I didn't know what to expect (the cost was very low) but I think the photos are actually a lot better than some friends who paid WAY more lol. The staff was friendly and we had such a good time with the photographer. The video came out great too. Already recommended a couple friends. I (like many brides) was nervous to use a wedding center, but Lamar really did an awesome job!

The photography lady was good, but the guy who did the video for my husband's surprise birthday party was OUTSTANDING. He interacted with the guests and knew how to get them to "talk" to the video camera. Both arrived on time which was very important for me so that they could both capture my husband being surprised. I have no complaints with the service that I received from Lamar Studios. The staff was always friendly and helped me when I called; Lisa was great.. The service was very good and I would surely come back and use Lamar to capture all my memories. Thanks.....

I had my video and photos done by them, and they were exceptional, they showed up early and was very flexible. I had so much demands on what kinds of photos should be taken, the guy was great. The Video guy was wonderful, you barely even knew he was there taking the video, especially at our church ceremony.

Our photographers name was Lee. He was courteous and a true professional. Our entire wedding party including us, was never and he made us laugh and put us all at ease. He asked all the right questions and I didn't have to stay on top of him to get certain shots. Lee was in all the right places at the right times and didn't skip a beat! We were VERY pleased with him. The center was also VERy good with our engagement photos

So much of the stress of planning is relieved when you can make all the arrangements in one place. Everyone is so helpful, and the quality is the best. We chose Rita for all our 3 daughters. Each wedding was custom fit to each of the girls. We could not have been more pleased.

My brother and aunt got married 2 weeks apart. My Aunt had to pay top dollar at an "upscale" photography studio in Ridgewood. My brother who had a smaller budget. I, being the best man, helped out my brother so I was happy he went with LAMAR for about 1/4 of the cost; I hoped I gave him the right advice at my first job as best man.

Their staff was so friendly and 'down to earth'; it difused many potentially stressful situations and gave us a feeling of confidence about the professional services that we would have at the wedding. Being Italian and all... Everyone in the family has something to say and everything has to be perfect. Not to mention my brother was 'competing' with my aunt.

There was no comparison. Lamar was like part of the family. They took over 500 pictures and we hardly knew they were there. They had every angle (posed and candid). Pictures with the relatives were taken without us even having to ask. And they did not interupt our celebration to get the job done.

The lived up to everything they presented. They also gave helpful wedding planning suggestions that we benefitted from and didn't have to pay for. On top of it all... my aunt was so upset when she saw they high quality of photography given by LAMAR and began the war with her photograher and the garbage he gave her at 4x the price.

We got what we paid for and more! One of the girls joked with us and said, "We do it right, the first time!" It was kind of funny with all the people I know who are divored. But they certainly did, "do it right". They will get many more weddings to come from our family.

My wedding was on July 15, 2017 and I can say it will be a moment to look back at forever with the pictures that were taken on that day. I recently had the pleasure of working with Rita and leaving all the planning regarding my wedding in her hands. The warmth and friendly team who works at Lamar Wedding Center knows what they are about and gave insightful suggestions when I was uncertain about somethings. It's the first time in a long while I had a planner go far and beyond her pay grade to make my wedding day so flawless. Rita's punctuality at the hotel was great gave my wife and I time to say any last minute things we wanted to be done. There was a level of experience shown by the photographers and the proactive behavior shown was great. This is one for the books and a historical moment in my life that wouldn't be a success without Lamar Wedding Center.

We recently used the photography services offered through Lamar Wedding Center in Montclair. Angela was very helpful and assisted us with selecting the photogrpahy package that met our needs. The photographer, Juan Carlos, was very professional and has a great personality. He arrived early and captured great moments throughout the day. Thank you!

Rita of Lamar Wedding Center performed our wedding ceremony. She worked with me to ensure I had the ceremony of my dreams. While I had a large part of selecting the verbiage for the ceremony it was Rita who made the words I dreamed of come to life. Rita is a perfect blend of serious and funny. She was able to make everyone feel welcome and engaged. I have had several people complement my husband and I on our ceremony- we thank Rita for making this special day something we will never forget.

We also used Lamar Wedding Center for our videography- Harry was great. He captured the event without being intrusive. We can't wait to see how the video turns out!

I used their services in the Boston area where they were just getting started last summer, but Rita Lamar (the owner) as well as her staff were always very responsive and helpful. The photographer contracted through them, Jennifer Linnane was spectacular to the point of literally doing physical stunts at times just to get the great shots right in the moment when they were happening. The DJ, Matt (can't remember his last name) was also quite responsive to my needs, but could've stuck to some of my song choices a little bit better. However, he did do a good job of feeling out the crowd, which had a lot of older family members and played stuff I wouldn't have thought of, but got all those people dancing. The florist ended up giving me a great deal for my money, but did not do a good job of hiding her stress all the time which made her seem slightly un-friendly at times. But, besides her personality, the floral design was great and shows beautifully in the photos.

The pictures that we got were wonderful, however I do need to mention that my photographer missed taking ANY pictures of the wedding party coming down the aisle. We also had a bit of an argument over getting the proofs when they were promised to us, but that wasn't really a big deal. All in all, I thought it was a great value for what we paid.

Lamar did and awesome job working on our wedding. Juan Carlo was our photographer- he worked so hard to take the perfect photos. He truly enjoys his work, and does his best to keep you smiling the entire time.
We received all 800 photos just 5 days after our wedding! I would def. recommend him! Great shots- and was not in the way or pushy at all. He was an excellent photographer.

We personally had an issue with Angela - regarding the floral package w/ Lamar and her own business (NOT LAMAR). However Rita and her team quickly resolved the issue. Rita is very professional and makes sure her customers are well taken care of no matter the cost. She/Lamar takes great pride in their company. I would recommend them for photography as well as floral packages!

Lamar Wedding Center was extremely cooperative in helping us book a last minute photographer. We weren't sure if we wanted to pay for photography services, but their flexible and inexpensive packages were the deciding factor. The photographer was so lively and energetic and made an effort to cover EVERYTHING! He understood that with such a huge bridal party it was tought to organize photos so he took them quickly and made it fun. I was really hoping for that journalistic look with the dramatic photos with different lenses and filters, but for the cost, I was content. Thank you Lamar!

I chose Lamar Wedding Center in Montclair New Jersey for both Photography and Videography. Both services were great. My photographer Tim was great. He had an awesome personality and wasn't too overbearing throughout the event. The videographer Rich, was very low key. He also stayed in the background and wasn't too overbearing. Both Tim and Rich worked well togehter and it helped that they both worked for the same company.
