Bill Miller’s Castle was the first and last venue we looked at. We just knew it was where we needed to be married. And it was everything we could have dreamed of and more for our wedding! From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the character, beauty, history and warmth of the space. It’s truly one-of-a-kind, and our guests are still talking about how magical it felt a month later. The staff was incredible—professional, kind, and attentive to EVERY detail. Lisa Miller made the entire process seamless, and on the day of our wedding, everything flowed perfectly. The castle provided the most stunning backdrop, from the ceremony to the reception, and our photos and video look like something out of a fairytale. It has its only salon area to get ready and hair and make up was done flawlessly. Photographers will have a field day! Choosing Bill Miller’s Castle was the best decision we made. It wasn’t just a venue—it became a part of our story. We will cherish the memories we made there forever.

Modern Strings trio played at my wedding on June 28, 2024 - they were absolutely magnificent!! From the second I booked my venue, I knew the very first vendor I had to book was Modern Strings. I had followed Modern Strings for some time and knew it was the most important vendor for me to have! Modern Strings played for my ceremony as well as cocktail hour. They set the stage for an emotional, elegant ceremony; then followed by a beautiful upbeat cocktail hour. Our guests were floored by the modern music played on string instruments. Our wedding was everything we could have ever dreamed of and we have Modern Strings to thank for being such a special part of our day! P.S. Peep the emotion on my face walking down the aisle; the music really let us feel so in the moment of an incredibly special celebration!

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).

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!

While I’m new to Zola, I’ve spent years photographing and filming weddings across Connecticut and beyond, earning over 100 five-star reviews by being dependable, organized, and genuinely invested in my couples. My approach is simple: show up prepared, stay present, and document your day honestly so you can relive it for years to come.

JR Media Solutions was the perfect choice for our wedding. Rafael captured every special moment from getting ready to dancing the night away and everything in between. Our sneak peek and wedding photos came earlier than expected and are so beautiful. We can't stop looking through them. Taking photos with each table on their way to the buffet was a brilliant idea and allowed us to get quality photos with everyone vs. photos of them sitting at their tables. Rafael was very professional, reasonably priced, a pleasure to work with, and did an excellent job behind the camera. We highly recommend him!

We are so grateful to The Lake House for going above and beyond to deliver us our perfect wedding day for around 110 guests in November 2024. They had every detail covered and helped ensure all of our guests had a wonderful experience. Special shout out to our banquet manager Carole for keeping the day running smoothly. The food was excellent and we are satisfied with the value we received across the board. We highly recommend booking The Lake House for your wedding or function.

Hi, it's Jenni, I am a couples and wedding photographer based in Connecticut. I love hikes and adventures, nature is my natural habitat and my biggest dream is to travel the world. I am hopeless romantic and I will probably shed a tear at every wedding I attend or photograph, so if you see me wipe a tear at your wedding no you didn't lol. I am also a dog mom and I love animals in general, my puppy means the world to me! I am a dedicated, passionate, fun and caring person and I put love in everything I do. I can't wait to work with you!

J Maurer Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. From the very beginning, Jenni's communication was clear, organized, and she was a fast responder, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. On the day of, Jenni's welcoming and fun attitude put everyone in the wedding party at ease, and she worked tirelessly to capture every special moment. Jenni helped keep us on schedule, set expectations with the larger group, and went above and beyond to get the perfect shots. Jenni is a true professional with a clear passion for her craft, and she made us feel comfortable and confident that she would capture our vision. We are so grateful for Jenni's creativity and the treasure trove of photos she delivered that we will cherish forever.

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.

From the moment my (now) husband and I met Raquel, we knew she was the right person to help us make our dream wedding happen. We selected her "partial planning" package and I cannot begin to explain how grateful we are that we did! She is extremely responsive (near instant text replies!! I could never!), open minded and willing to brainstorm, but also an important (yet patient) force in guiding important decision making and keep everyone on task / deadline. Best of all? Raquel is such a wonderful human being, that over the course of the year we became genuine friends. She CARES, and I think that's one of the most incredible things about her (aside from the very obvious talent she has for planning and coordinating weddings).
