A 12-year winner of Knot’s Best of Weddings and 13-year winner of Couples’ Choice Awards, CSE is among the BEST of NEW ENGLAND

Wedding advice: hire Cover Story Entertainment! We worked with CSE for our July wedding. We went with the ceremony package, 6-piece band as well as their uplighting and photo booth services. Our experience with CSE from start to finish was 10/10. Chris and Elena are incredibly organized, communicative, and responsive. They always answered all of our questions (and I asked many!) Alec, Alex, Savannah, and the rest of the band members rocked it all night. One of the first things guests commented on about our wedding was how amazing the band was. One of our guests commented that they wish they could cancel their DJ and fly CSE to their wedding in Portugal because they loved them so much. Extremely talented musicians for an awesome price, which make a huge difference when wedding planning. When we reflect on our wedding day, Cover Story is a huge part of what made it such a memorable night. -MK AJ Dunne

I cannot recommend Intan enough! I was incredibly nervous about finding the right person to do my hair and makeup for my wedding — I’m extremely picky, especially when it comes to makeup. I have freckles that are a big part of my identity, and I was worried they’d get completely covered under a full-glam look. On top of that, I have very sensitive skin and deal with chronic spontaneous hives, so trusting someone with my face and skin felt like a huge leap. From the start, Intan made me feel heard and understood. She truly listened to my concerns and absolutely delivered. Not only did she give me a glamorous look that still felt like me, but she also made sure my freckles shone through — something that meant so much to me. My hair and makeup looked flawless when she left around 1 PM, and somehow still looked just as perfect at 1 AM after hours of dancing, sweating, and celebrating. I’ve had my hair and makeup done professionally before, but I’ve never had it last this well or look this good for so long! The rest of my bridal party looked amazing too — everyone was so happy with how they turned out. Intan and the rest of the MG Hair & Makeup team were kind, professional, and beyond talented. I’m so grateful to have had them with me on such an important day.

Sonja is INCREDIBLE! I can’t speak highly enough about her—she went above and beyond for our wedding. From the start, she understood my vision, and we stayed perfectly aligned throughout the planning process. When we began designing the florals, Sonja presented her inspiration board, and to my surprise, it included the exact same image I had independently chosen for my own board—a detail I hadn’t shared with her! Her eye for design and ability to bring a vision to life are unmatched, and her passion for her work shines through in the most beautiful final product. I didn’t know much about flowers, but I found myself genuinely excited as she described the blooms she selected for my bouquet. On the wedding day, it was so comforting to work with someone I trusted completely to execute my vision. Sonja was extremely communicative, incredibly talented, and genuinely kind—I cannot recommend her highly enough!

I have been photographing weddings and events for 8 years, and I couldn't imagine anything more fulfilling than capturing the sweetest and most authentically beautiful moments in my couples' lives. I love making new friends in my clients and can't wait to become one of yours!

Awarded Best of Zola
It was love at first sight when I found Blooming Faith Photography on Zola! I was struck by the classic style of the portraits and natural air of those being photographed. It was exactly what I was looking for! Melissa was quick to respond to my inquiry and provided all the info I needed right off the bat. She is detailed and thorough in her correspondence and planning, which I appreciated since we only had 5 months to plan our wedding long distance. She offered an introductory Zoom consultation to discuss our vision for the photos so we could feel at ease leading up to the actual day. When the time came, Melissa was the consummate professional! We did a First Look shoot, and she lead the way completely, to avoid any awkward mishaps and to insure we got the moment captured on our video as well. All of our formal photos were posed beautifully and naturally, and she timed it all perfectly (which was great, because it was quite cold!) She’s also great with kids! Our flower girl and ring bearer had a great time doing photos. At both the ceremony and reception, Melissa didn’t miss a single moment yet remained respectful and discreet. Her experience and expertise is obvious! And the photos that we’ve seen so far have been absolutely gorgeous. Timeless and sophisticated while still capturing the joy from that day. And as a human being, we couldn’t have asked for a kinder soul to capture everything for us. Melissa’s warmth and care brought the whole experience to another level. My husband and I were blessed to have found Blooming Faith Photography!

She helped fix my hair and veil to make sure it was all captured. The final photos and videos were sent to us 6 weeks after our wedding which was so much quicker than what we expected. We were able to share them with our friends and family and they all turned out beautifully. Thank you so much Aja for being part of our special day!

Hi there! I’m an on site pro makeup artist located in Connecticut, but travel all over the east coast & internationally if need be. I’m also someone who would love to make your wedding morning even more special in preparation for your big day! Hablo español!

I had a wonderful experience working with Marielly from Make Me Glamorous for my wedding day. Her communication was always timely, thorough, and extremely organized, which put me at ease throughout the planning process. The quality of her work was truly exceptional - the makeup artist, Marielly, was a true perfectionist and ensured that my entire bridal party of 8 women looked impeccable. She was so receptive to our individual style preferences and created flawless looks for each of us. Marielly went above and beyond, not just meeting, but exceeding my (admittedly high) expectations. My makeup stayed perfect for over 15 hours, through all the photos, hugs, tears, and dancing. I would trust Marielly and the entire Make Me Glamorous team with my beauty needs again in a heartbeat.

We cannot say enough about how much we loved Covergirl. They took so much time to sit with us and listen to our requests before the wedding and boy did they deliver. They played everything we asked for. They dressed up for our Super Mario theme and even learned new music for it. We had guests say they were the best wedding band they’ve ever heard. Absolutely incredible.

You’ve seen wedding bands before. But you’ve never seen one like us. Our wedding nights are, in a word, unforgettable. We specialize in epic dance hits, teary-eyed singalongs, and everything in between. Book us for your event and you'll get our award-winning Boston Wedding Band & DJ combo, PLUS our professional sound and stage lighting system at one simple rate, with absolutely NO overtime charges. We travel all over New England and beyond, so when you’re ready for our industry-leading talent and a game-changing event package all at one affordable wedding band price, we’re ready to celebrate with you.

We are still on a high from the most fun night of our lives all thanks to BeachNights band, Chris and DJ Connor!!! If you want to have music at your wedding that everyone will be talking about for years to come, book BeachNights for your reception and the DJ combo for your other music needs (ceremony, cocktail hour, afterparty). Booking BeachNights for all our music needs was the best decision we made for our wedding day. BeachNights far exceeded our expectations. Chris is so professional, organized, and easy to work with. They have so much experience in all types of venues; you will be glad you have a band who knows exactly what they need to do to put on a seamless performance. They keep the music process worry-free so you can focus on other aspects of wedding planning. A piece of unsolicited advice if I may, book BeachNights for everything: ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, afterparty. It was so much easier being able to talk to ONE person and coordinate all music through ONE group rather than having 4 music vendors involved in the planning process. They take time to learn about you as a couple, your music wants and needs, likes and dislikes so that every single song is exactly what you want and how you pictured your music on your wedding day. THANK YOU Chris and team for making our wedding dreams come true!

After fifteen years in theatre and television production, Kate O’Donnell Diaz discovered a love for planning events but wanted to do so with a different approach from what other planners were taking. Kate desired to help couples cultivate weddings that truly reflected them and not just what bridal magazines, their future mother-in-law or high school frenemy said they just HAD to do. The literal and financial waste she witnessed going into weddings because of something “someone” said the couple HAD to have made Kate feel incredibly uncomfortable. Kate saw a need for a more eco-friendly approach to event planning.

I like to find beauty in the balance between the shadows and the light. They are rarely inseparable. They are complex and totally opposite and yet they can not live without the other. Just like real connection. What is real is beautiful. Only love is real. Your wedding day is important. To you. To your families. To me. And I don’t take it lightly. I understand that you’ve never done this before and you may not even know where to start! Don’t worry- I got you!

Finding a good photographer was high on our priority list for vendors. We got married outside in the Catskill Mountains and as such we wanted a photographer capable of capturing the depth of the forest. After looking through Sam's portfolio we knew she was good, but after working with her and seeing her work firsthand we can say she's the best. Getting your photo taken can be awkward, especially given the high stakes of a wedding. But Sam is able to make you feel immediately comfortable while simultaneously taking the most stunning photos you'll ever see. We also had a connection session with her, which we would highly recommend so that you can know how she works - very fun and relaxed, but professional. Sam helped us outline the entire day of the wedding, and based on her knowledge the day went off without a hitch. We're so grateful she agreed to work with us!

I'm focused on creating modern natural arrangements using a sustainable approach. We are completely foam free, use as many local flowers as possible and constantly looking for more sustainable practices we can bring into our business.

We were so lucky to have someone recommend Lilysh to us for our wedding florals in the Catskills. Although I had a vision for what I wanted the flowers to look like, I am certainly not a flower connoisseur, so wanted to find a professional who I could trust to understand and execute my vision and Liliya was the perfect person to do just that. Her timing and communications were perfect, Including plenty of mockups and vision boards during our preliminary meetings, and continued conversations leading up to the big day. Plus - I love that she works with in season/local blooms, in addition to other sustainability efforts. Photo Credit: The Lovewigs

My husband and I worked with InteriorsDBK (directly with Karla) for our wedding. She provided us with the most stunning florals, candles and wedding designs! The venue was an entirely blank space with white walls, tons of windows, and cement floors, but Karla somehow made it feel like a lush garden! Our guests were vowed by the hanging floral displays, the ornate flowers lining the dance floor/DJ booth and the breathtaking center pieces. She completed our wedding’s feel by adding scented candles to the tables - which were not overwhelming, but exceptional! Working with Karla was an absolute breeze - she fully understood our “vibe”, answered all of our questions in a timely manner, and raised points/provided suggestions that we as an engaged couple (not wedding professionals!) wouldn’t have ever thought of. We could not recommend Karla and InteriorsDBK any more.
