As your self-proclaimed New Jersey BFF, we think of ourselves as a go-to resource for every occasion — from the small, quotidian questions (ex: where can I print things in town?) to the most special milestone events (ex: your wedding day). Five years ago, after dozens of recommendations and requests, we decided to lean into the latter, launching an online New Jersey Wedding Directory. Our mission then remains the same as now: to help New Jerseyans plan their big day and support local businesses in the process. In 2025, our directory is more robust than ever, chock-full of the best food vendors, venues, makeup artists, photographers, and planners in the area. Read on to learn more about The Local Girl’s Wedding Directory and some of our newest vendors.

About the Directory

We first launched our Wedding Directory in 2020 (ironic, we know), to serve as a resource for couples to connect and collaborate with vendors throughout the state. Broken down by category, readers can easily sift through trusted and highly recommended vendors for various wedding day needs.

Categories include:  eauty + wellness, catering + bakeries, decor + stationery, entertainment, fashion + jewelry, fitness, florists, gifts, planners, photo + video, and of course, venues. To begin exploring, simply visit our directory here and click your preferred category. Readers can also refine their search and filter by region, popularity, or latest additions.
