The wedding vendor search can be overwhelming. There’s so much talent out there to compare, and you’re trusting them with one of the most joyous and delicate days of your life.
Where do you even begin?
Having been in the wedding industry for 10 years now, I’ve met and collaborated with countless wedding vendors in the 100’s of events I’ve documented. In an effort to make your vendor search easier, and in order to lift up other small businesses I love, I’ve collected my favorite wedding vendors (aka “friendors”) in this exhaustive list.
Here you’ll find professional, experienced vendors vetted and curated by me, with an emphasis on those who are not normally centered in the wedding industry, including queer & BIPOC-owned businesses, and those who are values-driven and prioritize eco-friendly practices in their businesses.
Note: I have no business agreement with these folks, just support and love. 💛
Happy Booking!

Luckybird Cakes
Luckybird is a Brooklyn-based cake studio specializing in handmade, flavor-forward cakes for weddings, birthdays, special occasions & everyday celebrations. Each cake is made with the finest & freshest ingredients available and adorned with gorgeous fresh florals.
Owner Amy says her previous career in fashion has shaped her unique visual sensibility that she now brings to catering events, weddings, & intimate gatherings.
“I’ve been in love with baking since I was a little girl. I love creating salty or spicy updated versions of my childhood favorites. I have a huge sweet tooth myself & an incredible passion for feeding people desserts. With a vast repertoire at hand, some of the most fun is had collaborating with customers. Working with clients for their special day or night is my favorite thing to do.” - Amy B.
Aesthetically Complex Pies
“Hi! I’m a sculptor, performer, and food artist based in Brooklyn, NY. After receiving an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, I studied experimental music at Universität der Künste, in Berlin, on a Fulbright Fellowship. In 2016, I founded Sprechgesang Institute, a research-based collaborative for artists working between multiple disciplines, which I continue to direct in NYC.
I started aesthetically complex pies in 2020, to explore my fascination with edible art. As a visual artist, I approach the world of food from an aesthetic perspective, balancing flavor and texture with form, design, and a bit of anxious perfectionism.
Let’s take care of each other,
x Sarah K.”
Clementine Bakery
“Plant based and community rooted, Clementine offers vegan pastries, custom cakes, baked goods, meals, and provisions in the heart of Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, and online. Both our offerings and our shop reflect our love for the planet and all of its inhabitants.
Our seasonal, fresh ingredients and provisions are 100% vegan and, whenever possible, local. Our meals are cooked to order, and our baked goods are handmade daily in small batches. We welcome and celebrate all races, nationalities, abilities, genders, orientations, and religions, and we actively support our community through cause-based charitable initiatives.”
Vici Designs
A graduate of The Culinary Institute of America and former head creative director of a cake studio in Upstate New York, Victoria has spent years transforming dreams into delicious realities. With a whisk in one hand and a paintbrush in the other, she crafts unique narratives through edible art at Vici Design.
Vici Design's cakes and sweet creations are more than just desserts – they're centerpieces that tell a story. From delicate sugar flowers to intricate architectural details, Victoria uses her expertise and creativity to capture the essence of your event. Her passion lies in collaborating with clients to create unforgettable moments that delight the taste buds and leave a lasting impression.
“The dream for Vici Design is to keep growing alongside the couples, clients, and creatives who inspire us. We want this future home to be a place where the doors are always open to the next generation of cake creatives. A space for cake education, creative classes, and a community where we can foster the same passion for detail that started this journey. Every small step we take leads us toward this dream, and every couple who trusts us with their wedding day brings us one step closer. You aren't just helping us grow a business; you’re helping us build a home for artistry.” - Victoria
