We cannot say enough about how incredible Bill Miller’s Castle in Branford, Connecticut, was for our November 8th, 2024 wedding. This family-owned and operated venue exceeded every expectation and delivered a level of care, sincerity, and expertise that left us speechless. From start to finish, Lisa, Victoria, and Christina were nothing short of phenomenal. From our very first meeting to the final moments of our celebration, they treated us like part of their family. Every detail was handled with thoughtfulness and precision—from decor and catering to timeline coordination, vendor recommendations, and bar service. Their willingness to step in and go above and beyond made our day seamless and magical. The venue itself is a true gem. The stunning architecture created a fairytale-like atmosphere that felt otherworldly. Every corner of the castle offered a unique and breathtaking backdrop, making it a dream come true.

Nadia and Alexis are absolutely amazing. From engagement pictures to my trail (recommend everyone does one) to the wedding they were hands down incredible and also for me, one of the most important parts of my special day. I used them for my entire bridal party including moms and little girls and they were able to accommodate on the spot to everyone’s hair and makeup request. I changed my hair last second and Alexis mastered the look I was wanted. My hair and makeup lasted from Noon time until 11pm (when I took it out or else it would have last longer!) and still looked like it had just been done. My husband also took the cake to my face not once but twice, I had to use wipes to clean it off and my makeup never changed. I could go on and on but the only thing to know is they will not disappoint and you will look flawless and beautiful. Book them now you will not regret it!!

The granddaughter of two gardeners, I have always felt a connection to the earth through the soil. When someone brings flowers into a room, something changes...an energy, an excitement! I love being able to bring that kind of beauty into peoples lives. I'm a small-town girl who enjoys anything that involves working with my hands from cooking to knitting. I'm a total animal lover (partial to dogs), a die-hard Grey's Anatomy fan, and I take my martinis extra dirty. When I'm not flowering in our studio in Milford, Connecticut, I'm mommin' to three amazing little boys (our dog Pippa and cat, Galaxy).

When I first saw my wedding bouquet I was speechless! It was nothing like any other bouquet I had seen in the absolute best way! The flowers were gorgeous, vibrant, and truly unique, just like I wanted! Kate has such a keen ability to take inspiration photos, run with them, and create something incredibly gorgeous and in line with my vision. The florals she designed brought a lovely pop of color to our reception and pulled the natural look from the landscape into the space exactly like I envisioned. From little details like "snap-bracelet" corsages for the moms to a color-coordinating ribbon on the boutonnieres, Kate totally knocked it out of the park!

From the very beginning, Ellie demonstrated a very detailed, organized, and well-executed communication style that put us at ease.

Timeless, editorial imagery with a warm, documentary approach.

If you’re dreaming of wedding photos that feel both refined and deeply personal, I’d love to bring your vision to life.

Destiny is the BEST! We did a fun styled shoot featuring a beach cruiser bike to match the Myrtle Beach vibes, and it was such an amazing experience! From the moment we started, Destiny brought so much energy, creativity, and joy to the shoot. She made everything feel effortless and fun—we were laughing the whole time! Her eye for detail and ability to capture the moment was incredible. Every photo felt vibrant, playful, and totally captured our personalities. Her turnaround time for her photos is incredible too!

  • Photographer

  • Serves Branford, CT

I am a Connecticut-based wedding and portrait photographer obsessed with candid moments, real emotion, and the connections between human beings. I strive to capture life as we actually live it: full of beauty and roughness, joy and struggle, extravagance and simplicity. When I photograph you, I’m not thinking about getting likes on social media. I’m thinking about what will make your heart grow three times its size. I’m thinking about what will make you ugly-cry, looking back. I’m thinking about you seeing how awesome and truly loved you are.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband I decided to elope, planning the whole event in a week. It was important to me to get great photos to share with the friends and family who wouldn't be with us on the day. As soon as I saw Cate Barry's portfolio, especially with the candid photos, I knew that she was the right person to capture the true spirit of the day. Luckily, she was able to squeeze us into her calendar, and our preliminary meetings with Cate were fantastic: she made sure she understood our priorities—super open to who we are and what we care about—and she acted as friend, therapist, and wedding expert in a very frantic time. She even recommended a fantastic officiant who was exactly our speed. On the day, the three of us met up for some outdoor photos before the ceremony, and while I was afraid my husband and I might be awkward or stiff, Cate put us at ease immediately, and we were smiling with natural poses in no time. Then at the venue, Cate both contributed to and captured the joyful, relaxed atmosphere of the day.  We got our photos in record time, and even when we first flicked through the images on my phone over pizza, we could immediately tell Cate had memorialized the magic of the day, from happy tears to spontaneous jumping up and down with our witnesses. It means a lot to have wonderful pictures to share with our loved ones, and we would work with Cate again in a heartbeat.

Hey there! A little background information about me. My name is Aleksandra. I am 36 years old based out of Waterbury, CT. Makeup has always been a passion of mine, ever since I was little you could find me doing my mom, little sister, and grandma's hair and makeup. I always wanted a career in the industry but never thought it was attainable. Until I reached a point in my life where I decided to take a leap of faith pack my bags and drive down to Georgia where my older sister (a master MUA who owns her own agency) lives.

Their communication was continuous and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process - from our initial consultation to the day-of application. The quality of their work was truly amazing, transforming my look in a jaw-dropping way. Aleksandra ensured my makeup lasted all night and perfectly matched the vision I had in mind. She also gave me great pointers on how to prepare my skin and hair leading up to the big day. Aleksandra was punctual, took the time to go through all of our options realistically, and chose colors that were simply perfect - colors I never would have considered on my own. I couldn't recommend Aleksandra Artistry more highly for any bride looking for a true beauty pro to make them feel and look their absolute best on their wedding day.

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,900

As a veteran DJ with 20+ years of experience and 250+ weddings, I create sophisticated, custom music programs based on your tastes. I handle all audio logistics—from timeline planning to day-of run-of-show. Pricing: Evening Celebration ($1,900): Cocktail, Dinner, and Dancing with 2 sound stations and polished MC services. Full Day Experience ($2,500): 3 sound stations plus my battery-powered ceremony system for vows on beaches or gardens—no noisy generators. My resume includes tours in the U.S./Europe/Japan, and playing alongside artists like Drake, Calvin Harris, and LCD Soundsystem. I bring elite professionalism to every event.

As someone with a background in the events and music industry, my standards for production are incredibly high. Edwin (DJ Konsept) completely exceeded them for my wife Emily and my wedding in Montauk, NY. From our first conversation, Edwin was the consummate professional. His communication is exceptional- he is highly responsive, asked detailed questions to understand our specific vision, took careful notes, and was completely open to direction. We gave him a complex, multi-stage run-of-show, and he executed every phase flawlessly. He managed our outdoor ceremony, providing perfectly balanced mics and audio so everyone could hear our vows. He then seamlessly transitioned to setting the mood for our outdoor cocktail hour, and ultimately closed the night out by crushing a high-energy indoor afterparty. He arrived over-prepared with backup equipment and intuitively grasped the distinct musical vibe needed for each portion of the day. Technically, Edwin is a master. His beat-matching, transitions, and ability to read a room's energy are unmatched. He completely avoided the typical "cheesy" wedding tracks, weaving together exactly the right mix to keep our guests engaged. Furthermore, his pricing is incredibly fair and transparent, offering immense value for the high-end talent and peace of mind he brings to the table. If you want an incredibly talented, stress-free professional who operates with style and a cool, collected energy, you need to hire Edwin. He made our wedding day absolutely magical!

I instinctually fell in love with the creativity of floral design and it wasn’t long until Willow & Grey was born. WG creates unique, romantic, and whimsical floral designs for weddings and events in New England. My desire is to curate florals that reflect and celebrate the beauty and magic in life’s most cherished moments.

We hired Willow & Grey for our wedding florals, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out! Renee was an absolute dream to work with—thoughtful, creative, and incredibly talented. One of the things that initially stood out to me was that Renee had already been to our venue before, so she had a great eye for how to enhance the space and transform it into something truly special. Even with minimal inspiration from us, she completely understood our vision and brought it to life in such a beautiful way. We wanted our florals to complement the overall vibe of our day while still feeling unique and personal—and Renee absolutely delivered. Every arrangement felt intentional and artful, with those little unexpected touches that made everything feel extra special. If you're getting married in Connecticut and want florals that feel both elegant and personal, we’d 100% recommend Willow & Grey. Renee is amazing! – The Ryans

They accommodated all of our bridesmaids and family members perfectly, ensuring everyone looked and felt their best. The quality of their work was simply gorgeous - meticulous and flawless. I couldn't have asked for a better beauty team to help make our special day perfect. Highly recommend Hart Bridal Company!

While I offer planning services for all types of events, weddings are my absolute favorite. I love working with people. I love making them laugh. I love love and I love watching each event unfold. This is literally my dream job and I am so grateful that I get to work in this amazing industry.

Working with Raquel was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our very first conversation, it was clear that she genuinely cared about bringing our vision to life—and she exceeded every expectation we had. Raquel was incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure. She kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our big day. She handled every vendor with professionalism, kept us on track with timelines, and always made herself available to answer questions or offer guidance. But beyond her expertise, it was Raquel’s warmth, kindness, and positive energy that made the entire planning process feel joyful instead of stressful. Our wedding was truly perfect, and that’s thanks in large part to Raquel. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your wedding as if it were her own, look no further—Raquel is the one. Thank you, Raquel, for making our day unforgettable. You are truly amazing!

Our wedding was the most magical and perfect day. We received ENDLESS compliments on our florals. Lindsay made our wildflower wedding come to life. I ended up getting my bouquet pressed and framed because of how stunning it was. All of the colors, all of the pastel candles, it was so romantic and was a dream. We love her and recommend her to everyone we know. She is so personable.
