I just had a PERFECT experience with two NJ vendors who are not on the Knot's Central Jersey website: CLB Photography (www.clbphoto.com/" target="_blank">www.clbphoto.com) and Hoi Polloi (www.rockandfun.com).
Chris and Suzanne at CLB were easy going, and fun and made being photographed feel natural. They listened to what we wanted and had a ton of great suggestions to make the photos match our personality. I will admit, they are not the most inexpensive photographers, but they are the BEST by far and definitely worth it!
Hoi Polloi was a fantastic band that set the mood for our reception and got EVERYONE (even Grandma!) out on the dance floor. I would recommend anyone looking for a fun, energetic band that pays real music to check them out.
I hope the Knot adds these vendors to their Central Jersey list. They are well worth it!!
