If you're considering working with Brittany, DO IT! I 100% recommend working with her and team for any occasion, especially a wedding. Brittany played an indispensable role in making our wedding day an absolute success. From our very first Zoom meeting, her professionalism and knowledge were evident. She guided us through every step, ensuring that our photography experience was seamless and enjoyable. During the formal shots, Brittany’s infectious laughter and warm smile put us at ease. Her magical photos captured the essence of our special day, preserving memories we’ll cherish forever. But Brittany’s commitment extended beyond the lens—she went above and beyond in every aspect of her work. Managing family dynamics during group photos can be challenging, but Brittany handled it with finesse. She kept everyone on schedule, ensuring we didn’t miss a moment. We wholeheartedly recommend working with her for any occasion; she quickly became one of our favorite vendors. Brittany wasn’t just a photographer; she felt like part of our family. Her beautiful photos, organized proofs, and thoughtful album delivery left us in awe. And her responsiveness? Top-notch. Simply put, Brittany is the best.

Since we’ve been together, We’ve cherished our special day. And now, we get to capture everyone’s special day. With many years of professional photography experience. We fell in love with capturing others special moments and photographing weddings has been our favorite way of doing just that. Featured in People Magazine and other online publications. Connect with us now to find out how we can work to make your special day one to remember!

We hired Jackie and Drew for our wedding and truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We chose Collection 3, but they were incredibly flexible and helped us tailor the package with add-ons that made the most sense for our day. They genuinely worked with us to customize everything — and their pricing felt super reasonable compared to other quotes I saw in the area. You get so much for what you’re spending. From the start, they were collaborative and professional. The planning call was especially helpful — they worked with our coordinator to walk through the weekend and offered thoughtful recommendations for coverage based on the flow of events. It made the day feel effortless. On the day itself, Jackie, Drew, and their fantastic team were absolutely wonderful. Somehow, on what felt like the fastest day of our lives, they managed to slow time down and get every shot without ever making us feel rushed. We got to take photos all over, and it never felt chaotic. Their attitude and energy were unmatched. We held our ceremony outdoors in January — in Massachusetts — and it was 15 degrees. They handled it with a smile and so much grace. Every shot we wanted (and even the ones we didn’t think to ask for) was captured. They were organized, efficient, kind, and made it all feel so smooth. Something important to know: these are seasoned pros with a full calendar of weddings, so while the final results might take a bit of time, it’s never unreasonable — and so worth the wait. They’re super transparent and responsive, and any time I had a question about timelines, they were clear and helpful. Communication was excellent. The final photos and video were everything we dreamed of. The style, tone, and quality were exactly what we had discussed, and I was honestly blown away. I would recommend Jackie and Drew to anyone looking to capture their dream wedding. These are the memories we’ll look back on forever — and I’m so grateful we had them to document it.

The Bristol Harbor Inn rests right on the waterfront, where salty breezes, sailboats, and tide rhythms set the tone for a relaxed, coastal celebration. Its classic New England charm and harbor views create an easygoing yet elevated backdrop for wedding days that feel naturally beautiful. Inside, the light filters in like a soft shoreline glow, making every detail—from décor to first dances—feel effortlessly enhanced by the setting. It’s the kind of venue where the coast does the styling for you, and every moment feels anchored in the simple beauty of the bay.

Kay Northrup Events 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Bristol, RI
  • Planner
  • Offers 1 service
  • Starts at $3,800

KNE is a destination wedding planning and design company specializing in stepping outside of the "comfort zone." We believe life gets boring doing the same old thing (and going to the same old places).

How can I even put into words how absolutely incredible Kay and her team are?! My wife and I booked a power planning session with Kay in December 2020, shortly after getting engaged. From just that two hour meeting, we learned more about our budget, priorities, and expectations than we had from years of dreaming of our wedding. Kay was so confident and generous in her knowledge, we clicked immediately and as soon as the call ended, we looked and each other and said: "We HAVE to hire her to plan our wedding." As soon we officially booked with Kay, we jumped into regular meetings, endless email advice, vendor recommendations- the works! She also took over all communication and confirmations the month of our wedding which was an absolute lifesaver. Planning our wedding alongside Kay are memories we will cherish always. She is as kind and easy to work alongside as she is professional and precise. Her attention to detail and dedication to our wedding vision remained steadfast throughout the 15 months of planning. She answered every question, solved every problem, and anticipated every need with what seemed like effortless ease. As for the wedding day, her and her team were invaluable assets. My wife and I did not have to worry about a SINGLE detail all day, because we knew KNE had it all covered. She wore about a million hats that day, from designer to therapist to organizer to dress steamer to I'm sure a million other things we weren't privy to because keeping our energy light and happy was her biggest priority. I could go on forever. My biggest message that I hope is taken away from this review is that wedding planners are not only for the "rich and famous" as the media likes to make it seem. Wedding planners, specifically KNE is an unbelievable investment in your time, happiness, mental load, and more. Hiring KNE was the smartest decision we made and at least twice a week we found ourselves saying, "God, what would we do without Kay?!"

Hey there! I’m Maria. I grew up with cameras in my life from the very beginning. On my mom’s side of the family, we say “it’s in our blood”. Since my first photography course, I knew that this was something I wanted to incorporate into my daily life. I’ve always lived by the thought that “it’s better to have taken too many pictures than none at all.” I’m here to preserve your memories of your big day!!! I'm in love with love and truly enjoy capturing your story. Your love. Your connection. Let's get you married and let's take some damn good photos while we're at it.

Maria was so fantastic!! My husband and I decided to do a last minute pandemic micro wedding, with just our immediate family and close friends present. Of course, finding any vendors, especially a photographer, last minute is a challenge. Luckily, Maria was recommended to me, and I couldn't have been happier with anyone else! Her style of photography and editing was exactly what I was hoping for! Getting to know her over the phone, and working out a schedule for the day of the wedding was a breeze. She was so great at staying in contact via email and text leading up to the big day. Also, I have a family that requires a lot of guidance (we're talking herding cats here) and Maria was AWESOME at keeping everyone moving and where they needed to be the day of the wedding. She even got all the pictures I wanted of our dog who was included in the wedding ceremony! Despite the rainy weather, she remained upbeat and positive the whole day! And I think her positive attitude was what led to us being rewarded with an amazing pink sunset at the end of our couples pictures. Her poses and editing created the wedding photos of my dreams! I definitely plan to hire Maria again for future family photos!

Willow Photo Co. was a dream to work with from start to finish. Their communication style was quick, easy, and painless - they were always responsive to our questions and made sure we had a solid plan in place for our wedding day. They were passionate, dedicated, and paid incredible attention to detail when capturing all of the special moments we had planned for. They were great to work with, and we loved having a video chat with them a week before the wedding to go over the timeline and make sure everything was set. When our hair and makeup ran a little behind, they were flexible with their original itinerary, ensuring the process remained painless. We are so excited to see what they create for us. We would highly recommend Willow Photo Co. to any couple planning their wedding.

Throughout the entire planning process he was extremely professional and communicative to our many questions and ideas (including one final change the morning of the wedding). He helped us think through and reorganize our run of show, including perfectly integrating a few live songs played by my brother in law! Shane took on our music request with excitement, especially after hearing we wanted house music that could somehow vibe with guests of all ages. To no surprise, Shane created the set of our dreams! The dance floor didn’t slow down for a second and had both kids and grandparents dancing until the last song…and then the last song after that when the full floor chanted for one more!! Beyond excited to recommend Shane to everyone we know and come up with another excuse to celebrate and have him DJ!!

To say Emily and the team at GBC made our dreams come true is an understatement. From the moment we met, we were immediately impressed with her positive attitude, attention to detail, and organization. We fell in love with the venue initially, but now upon reflecting, it was the collective efforts of the staff of Galilee Beach Club that we will forever cherish and appreciate for the rest of our lives. Emily patiently listened and worked hard throughout the entire process, answering endless emails from me, while collaborating with Chris the general manager, Chef Rob, and the rest of her event staff to make all of our ideas come to life. Emily’s planning meetings along the way were focused, thorough, and super informative. She made time (even during her hectic season) for us, always. We trusted her completely with our vision and she knocked it out of the park. For me, I was in awe of her attention to the little things… the plate of hors douerves delivered to the bridal suite for us right after the ceremony, the signature drinks in our toasting flutes during dinner, the floating candles she suggested for the sweetheart table, right down to Emily locating our missing marriage license moments before the ceremony! She did it all with grace and ease. I could trust Emily and her team to set up all of the decor without an ounce of worry and on top of the beautiful set-up, Emily and her team packed up everything (and I mean everything!) into my car that night which truly was an unbelievable service. Chris, the General Manager, was our officiant and he was incredible. We had only met Chris a handful of times before we got married, but we felt as if he was one of our good friends. He knew exactly what we were looking for and we couldn’t have asked for a better ceremony. And the food! Everything was out of this world. Multiple guests claimed the short rib was the best they ever had. Chef Rob’s seared tuna steaks were prepared to perfection, even impressing a room full of tuna fisherman, which is certainly not an easy feat! The Galilee Beach Club was a warm, welcoming, highly professional, full service, simply spectacular place to get married. Our wedding surpassed our wildest dreams, which was undoubtedly the result of the hard work and long hours put in by Emily, Chris, Rob and the rest of the event staff at GBC. As two native Rhode Islanders and Galilee locals, we could not have had a more perfect setting for one of the most memorable days of our lives. We are forever grateful to have worked with such a remarkable team.

If you are looking for a florist in the Rhode Island area, look no further. Ayla did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding florals! Right from the beginning I loved her style and knew she had great instincts and vision. I told her what I was looking for generally, but she brought it to life in ways I never could have imagined. All of our florals were perfect for each space, and she was super helpful in thinking about how to use our budget for maximum impact. So many people commented on how beautiful the florals were and I am so so happy with how it all turned out. She captured our exact vibe we were going for - wild, not too fussy, summer, fun and was such a pleasure to work with.

From our first conversation with Golden Scroll Soloists, we knew we had found the right fit for our wedding. Kevin and his team were incredibly responsive and easy to work with throughout the entire planning process. They provided live music during our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner, and then Kevin seamlessly transitioned to DJ duties from a curated playlist we created together. Having one vendor handle both the live performance and DJ services made the day flow effortlessly, and guests haven't stopped talking about the music. Kevin even took care of the sound equipment for our officiant, handling details we didn't even have to ask about. If you're looking for a band and DJ that will exceed your expectations, Golden Scroll Soloists is the way to go.

We’ll absolutely be booking Madison again if we need professional photos in the future.

Within my professional career, I have had the privilege to travel to some amazing places and have had the opportunity to plan and work with a variety of events. Even going way back to college I helped organize an unlimited amount of events and even helped the years below be on their proms! I can easily say it has always been such a fun hobby that I truly enjoyed. Now, with many different jobs tried out I can confidently say, I have found my niche.

Cliona & the Sea Breeze Events team were incredible. I knew I needed someone to help me on my wedding day because I did a lot of things myself (flowers, decor, etc), and I didn't want my family or friends to worry about any of it. Sea Breeze Events was on top of EVERYTHING from the moment they arrived at our hotel to the moment they left at the very end of the night. They helped keep everything on track, helped ensure all of my photography wants & needs got done, and even helped to stay and clean up EVERYTHING at the end of the night. People have continued to compliment my wedding for how smooth and perfectly executed it was, and I can certainly say that it was thanks to Cliona and the whole Sea Breeze Events team. I wish I could get married all the time just so I could work with them again!

Alex and the staff are extremely professional and made our wedding day stress free and fun. From the call with Alex to go over details to the actual wedding day, he thinks of every necessary detail! Without him, our wedding would not have been the fun party that it was and we are so happy he was such a big part of our day. Highly recommend!!!

We had such a great experience working with Josh! From the very beginning, his communication was excellent—he was quick to respond, clear with details, and made everything so easy to coordinate. On the day of the shoot, he was professional, friendly, and willing to capture every picture we asked for. He truly went above and beyond to make sure we got all the shots we wanted. The photos turned out amazing, and we couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend Josh for anyone looking for a reliable and talented photographer!

Joey G is like my cool uncle except he’s got sick DJ skills. He did our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Not only was he professional and organized, but he also brought an incredible energy to our wedding. For the ceremony and cocktail hour, we provided him with a specific music selection, and even though we never rehearsed together, he nailed it perfectly. During the reception, we gave him a playlist, and he struck the perfect balance between sticking to our choices and reading the crowd to keep everyone dancing. One highlight was when Joey G handed the microphone to people in the crowd, turning our reception into an impromptu karaoke party. It was a blast! He was not only fun and engaging but also very attentive to our needs. He asked how to pronounce each name correctly for the toasts, ensuring everything went smoothly. We requested that he not take song requests, and he respected our wishes completely. The sound quality was stellar, and his equipment setup was flawless. Joey G understood our need for clean music as we had many families with young children attending, yet he still kept the atmosphere lively and fun. The dance floor was packed with all 150 guests! Joey G was also a great help with announcements, coordinating toasts, and working with friends and family to announce the newlyweds and photo groups. His flexibility and attention to detail were impressive. Overall, I highly recommend Joey G to any couple looking for an awesome wedding DJ. He provided a questionnaire that made the whole planning process so easy, and his execution was simply fantastic. Joey G truly made our wedding day unforgettable!

Have it your way! That is my philosophy. There are so many different tastes and styles to accommodate, so I work extra hard to make your day exactly how you want it. What's the secret? I listen! I pay attention to each individual client and their own needs. I've been using this philosophy for years, and it has been working quite well! I am constantly learning more about my first love: Music! As a Master of Ceremonies, the philosophy is the same. I never say too much, it is not about me! It's about the client, and I never want to outshine or take any of their attention away.

Graeme was so great! Reliable, Professional, and a champion when it rained at my outdoor reception! He kept his composure and kept the party going inside until the rain passed. Choosing Graeme was a relief- I knew I didn't need to worry about him or the music all night! I would 100% recommend! Plus, he is such a nice, genuine person which made working with him on my special day even more of a pleasure!!!
