Anytime I needed something she took over and handled it to make sure we had nothing to worry about.

The O-Tones, a hot New England Swing and Soul band will melt your hearts and get your feet dancing. They’ve got soul. The O-Tones band has been playing for public and private events all over New England since 1990 and is a dynamic entity. Their repertoire includes many decades of music from the 1940s Swing tunes by Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra and others to Soul and Motown hits like Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, The Temptations and many more! They will make your ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and/or dancing special and unforgettable!

When I heard a sample of the O-Tones music I knew immediately that we wanted this fantastic swing band. They did not disappoint! The band was extremely professional, fun and they read the crowd. From the first song they played, people in our wedding party got up and danced - how could they not? It was non-stop dancing all night long. I highly recommend the O-Tones for your wedding reception if you love swing music. And even if you don't know if you love swing music - if you are looking for a band that can get your toes tapping and get everyone out there on the dance floor - young and old - this is the band for you. I can't recommend them enough!

Awarded Best of Zola
When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

Our services include Photography, Videography, Live Music, DJ, Lighting, Photo Booth, and Other services for Weddings, Corporate Events, Parties, and more. We operate across the USA, Canada, & Europe, and travel around the world.

FIVE STARS!! I knew my wedding day was going to fly by and I wouldn’t be able to witness every moment so having a good videographer was one of the most important things on my list. I felt discouraged with how much videographers seemed to cost though, until I booked Silver Arrow Band and saw you could also book videography services through them with a 10% discount when you booked both. I watched a few of their videos and was blown away, it was everything I was looking for! We did the full package of two videographers, full ceremony, speeches, and dance coverage, and the best part - drone footage! Our venue Saltwater Farm Vineyard is on a beautiful estuary and I was really hoping to cover both the nature and the important moments of our big day. The videographers were amazing to work with. They were both so kind, helpful, and made sure to capture every moment big or small. They had the groom and officiant properly mic’d up so they could capture every word. The teaser, the highlight reel, and the fully ceremony and speeches are incredible! They were able to capture all of our favorite moments. It was also so great seeing how much fun our guests were having. I promise your money is well spent if you book Lightwave Event Artists!

My couples mean the world to me. I love hearing their stories, what makes them tick, and the things that are important to them. It’s my goal to capture them exactly the way they are; how they crack jokes, poke fun, dance together, hold one another. I’m there to capture the genuine tears, the laughs, how you just fit so well together. With directive posing, I bring out real chemistry and personalities. With my laid back vibe, I’ll ensure even the photo-heavy parts of the day are a breeze. I believe every single part of a wedding should be a blast and that every couple should be celebrated in their own unique way.

I could not have asked for a better person to capture my wedding! On our wedding day, it poured rain and I was absolutely devastated that the outdoor wedding I had been dreaming of was not happening. As I was sitting there faced with that reality, about to ruin my makeup with tears, Andrea swooped in like a superhero and genuinely made me feel like the rain was a good thing. She was the only voice of reason that made me feel like everything was still perfect. She ran around in the rain with us all day capturing the most gorgeous photos and I didn’t feel like I missed out at all. She was prepared with clear umbrellas and we actually had fun! She is also just so talented, the pictures and the saturation are just absolutely gorgeous, and not only that but she also has an absolute talent for capturing joy and movement. All my vendors have chosen to use her photos from my wedding on their websites, seriously just hire her!!!

Almost 20 years of experience and I still get as excited as I did when I first started photographing events! I got my BFA in photojournalism at Rochester Institute of Technology and my common sense from a well-lived, full life. From intimate weekday elopements to full scale destination events that require a team of photographers, I have done it all. I focus on telling the most full and vibrant story of your event, so you can look back and feel like you didn't missed a thing.

A camera can pick up the visual attraction of a moment, but most times it feels impossible to relive the actual energy of that place in time. Carla - is the absolute key to capturing every ounce of that magical energy. My wedding day was truly the most remarkable day of my life, and every single picture Carla took brings me back to that exact moment in a way I never thought a photo could do. Not only is she a visual genius - but she set the tone for the entire day. Some people in the bridal party who HATE having their picture taken, had so much fun they didn’t even realize they were having a “photo shoot”. Her attention to timing is flawless. Her timeline had every single picture we wanted to get, every friend and family member, every quirky thing I incorporated - and in the most elegant way I could have NEVER imagined. ALSO major plus - her son Jackson is a brilliant videographer. He did our video and their chemistry and vibrant energy was EVERYTHING!!!!! Do yourself a favor - just book her. She’s really busy because she’s so amazing so don’t wait. LOLOLOLOL

I have always been enthusiastic about photography. One thing that really got me into photography was realizing that every moment can be something very special. I like to take pictures of candid moments with natural light. With those, my camera is just clicking and the results are always phenomenal! I believe that one photo could create an incredible story. That's why I have lots of affection towards every photo and I work on them with all of my heart.

Julie was everything we were looking for in a photographer and more! A talented photographer, extremely professional, easy to work with, and an upbeat personality. Julie not only took fantastic photos that we are going to cherish, she was able to capture our wedding day story in the way we were hoping for with a mix of portraits, action shots, and candids. My wife is usually uncomfortable having her picture taken, which we were able to discuss with Julie during our virtual consultations. Julie did an amazing job of making us both comfortable and efficiently capturing the posed portraits. She also managed to take artistic candids unobtrusively from afar, some of which ended up being our favorite shots! Plus she was just pleasant to work with and have around on our special day! Thank you Julie for capturing our moments better than we could have imagined.

I worked with Virginia for my October 2023 wedding and we also did a hair and makeup trial a few months prior. Virginia was so warm, friendly, and professional and delivered exactly what I asked for! I never wear makeup so I was nervous about wearing wedding makeup and asked her to help me look/feel like myself and she did just that. She took feedback extremely well and incorporated that feedback on the wedding day to help me feel my best! She made me feel so comfortable. My hair was amazing and she ensured my headpiece stayed secure - and it lasted and looked great all night! She did an amazing job with my mom and MOH as well - they both absolutely loved their looks, especially my mom who also doesn’t wear makeup regularly. I didn’t really consider that this is the vendor you spend your whole wedding morning with, which can really affect the energy as you prepare to get married. Virginia’s energy was so positive and really added to my day, which I am super grateful for. She felt like a longtime friend. Highly recommend her!!

Yvonne Caole-Sousa launched UME in 2015 after years of management in the hospitality industry. Her career was launched while finishing her degree in Sports, Entertainment and Event Management at the University of Johnson & Wales. Following, she gained knowledge and experienced throughout her trade as a Banquet Manager, Food and Beverage Director and Social Catering Sales Manager for a Luxury Boutique hotel and a Golf Resort. Soon she realized working for a venue was limited and she craved more. With the support of past clients, UME was launched and has been growing ever since!

Yvonne did an incredible job as month of coordinator for my wedding! I can't recommend enough that you hire Unique Melody for your event! I was initially very nervous to hand over my wedding to her as I had spent SO many hours on all the details but I'm SO glad that I did. She executed it with such attention to detail. I mean she was even replacing candlesticks as they were burning out! It was so helpful having her there to navigate the ceremony rehearsal the prior day and then making a weather call the day of. Her and her team worked SO hard to make all my wedding dreams come true. Whenever an issue came up they were very quick to fix it. She was extremely adaptable and no problem was too big for them to solve. My seating assignment were hand written cards that they had to so meticulously hang each card with lots of different adhesives. They kept us on a tight timeline even though all the speeches were WAY longer than they were planned to be. I'm so grateful for her an her team and she is such a pleasure to work with. THANK YOU UNIQUE MELODY!!!!

Hi, I'm Jan and I photograph weddings. I've been in business for 8+ years and haven't burned out yet. Yay! I'd like for you to reach out if you REALLY REALLY LOVE my portfolio, not just because you think they're good. The best photos happy when everyone is excited about creating something special together!

Working with Jan is just about as good as it gets. He's incredibly professional, kind, thoughtful, communicates clearly, and he's gosh-darn spectacular at his job. It was a pleasure to work with him, and I can't recommend him highly enough!

I am a self proclaimed romantic at heart, always have been. After 19 years of marriage, I am a believer in true love! Photographing the special day for couples of all ages and walks of life, is a real joy and I get a charge of excitement for each gig. Anyone that has met me knows that I am an extroverted person who is always on the move; always talking and thinking; and often engaging with others. I make everyone feel at ease. As a wedding photographer I leverage my experience as a pro along with my personality.

Jim has truly become such a great friend in this process. The biggest thing you want to feel on your wedding day is comfort and support. Jim goes out of his way to make this happen. We first met and worked with Jim for our engagement photos. We had so much fun! Jim wasn't afraid of getting in the sand and water to get our pictures in the ocean. When our wedding was postponed, Jim was there to shoot our elopement (and keep the secret)! After waiting for eight months, we finally had our wedding. Even though it was raining, Jim captured every moment of our amazing day. We will be working with Jim for all of our photography needs in the future. Thank you, Jim!
