Keane’s Wood-Fired Catering was founded by husband and wife team, Padraic and Kaylyn Keane. Padraic grew up working in his parents’ village pub in Galway, Ireland and moved to the United States in 2015 where he became fascinated with traditional southern barbecue. Padraic welded his first wood-fired smoker at the Steel Yard in Providence and Keane’s held their first catered event at Whalers Brewing in South Kingstown in 2016. Since then Keane’s has continued to build a reputation for exceptional food and service.

Awarded Best of Zola
Keane’s was absolutely amazing! The food was beyond delicious. I’ve been to so many weddings where I can’t even remember the food, but I had been to two weddings catered by them prior to mine and their food stuck with me. I knew I had to have them for my own wedding, and they did not disappoint. One of the best parts was that they also provided an event coordinator. Alicia, my day of coordinator, was incredible! She was in touch with me months before the wedding, answering every single one of my questions, and on the day of she made everything run so smoothly. From the ceremony to the reception, she had everything perfectly organized, and I never had to stress. The catering staff was professional, attentive, and truly wonderful. They set up, cleaned up, and cleaned made sure everything was flawless. Our friends and family are still raving about how amazing the food was. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

From start to finish, Willow Photo Co. was amazing to work with! My wife and I were married in 2020 with limited family present. For our 5 year anniversary we had a “re-wedding” with all our family and friends. So it was very important to us to pick the right team to capture this special day, and Willow fit perfectly! Ryan provided clear communication and explanation of all our photo/video options at our first consultation. Leading up to our wedding day, we met with Ryan again to go through the timeline and our desired photos. We felt 100% confident in the Willow team to capture our special day. Day of, Britt was our photographer and Ryan our videographer. Both of them were professional and fun, and made us feel comfortable and celebrated as an LGBTQ couple. After the wedding, we received communication for when and how we would receive our photos and video. We were so so so pleased with how everything turned out. The photos are BEAUTIFUL! Don’t hesitate to book Willow, they are amazing!

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!!

The Golden Scroll Soloists have been wowing Northeast audiences with a variety of styles for 20 years, melding familiar songs you love into an elegant string quartet experience. We helped popularize the "crossover string quartet", much like the Vitamin String Quartet, during the early days of classical crossover. Our style, now made mainstream by Bridgerton, predated the Netflix hit show by 15 years. We're ready to play for your ceremony, your cocktail hour, or maybe even your reception. Choose from a string quartet, string trio, string duo, or violin soloist. Let's start planning the soundtrack to your happily ever after!

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

From my initial Zoom meeting with Brittany, I knew I was in great hands! She was extremely kind, attentive, and professional throughout the entire process. Brittany really listened to my vision and was so helpful in offering suggestions and bringing everything together. I decided to go with faux silk-touch flowers for our bouquets, boutonnieres, and church florals, and it was truly one of the best decisions! People could not believe that the flowers were faux—they looked so realistic and photographed beautifully. I absolutely loved my bouquet, and I am so happy that I get to keep it forever as a special reminder of our wedding day! The florals at our reception were absolutely beautiful as well. We also rented a white flower wall from Brittany, and it completely elevated the space and made such a beautiful addition to our reception. I highly recommend Brittany's Floral Design to any couple looking for beautiful, high-quality florals and an amazing person to work with throughout the wedding planning process. Brittany was wonderful, and we are so grateful for everything she did to make our wedding vision come to life!

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.

At 11 years old I made a short film with a VHS camera, and have been filming things ever since. I love being behind a camera, viewing the world through a variety of lenses, and am always striving for new inspired ways to film. I am a director, editor, and cinematographer, who has filmed over 600 weddings, and produced content for companies like Mott, Boston College, WB Mason, Big Orange Productions, YPO and the State of RI, among many others. When not making creative videos, I love eating Mexican food, watching movies, and playing with my dogs. I also volunteer and foster for Rhode Home Rescue, a non-profit animal rescue.

Larry was our videographer for our wedding on June 29, 2024 and we couldn't say enough good things about him! From the jump speaking with Larry via zoom leading up to the wedding, he was easy-going, funny, professional, and an overall cool dude. Larry is truly the best in the business. The highlight reels alone were phenomenal and breathtaking, making us all the more excited to receive the film. Our wedding was magical and our beautiful film exemplifies that and then some! It is so beyond special and I still can't believe we get to have it forever.

Tired of not seeing yourselves represented in the wedding industry? Welcome to the RTP fam - we're a husband and wife duo shooting a combination of digital, film and Polaroid photos so that your gallery will deliver all the vibes and capture your sick, nontraditional love. And because of all the time we'll spend together getting to know you and crafting the perfect photo timeline for your day, you'll feel like we're just your two best friends there to capture the moments. No matter your size, race, gender, sexual orientation or religion, we're here to hype you up as you share all your wildest wedding ideas with us!

Meaghan and Evan photographed our Halloween wedding and we couldn't imagine having anyone else! We met Meaghan and Evan last October when they shot our engagement photos. They were more than willing to trudge through our favorite park and stop at all our favorite spots to get some beautiful photos we used for our save the date. We got to get to know them a little more over at our favorite little ramen restaurant after the session and of course we were instantly sold! Meaghan was super communicative and responded to every email I sent her pretty much right away every single time. As we got closer to the wedding day, she sent an incredibly detailed questionnaire. It covered everything from our most important shots to what weird family dynamics she should be conscious of; we sincerely appreciated this level of care, especially as a queer couple with some iffy family things. When I was hiring vendors, it was extremely important to me to find vendors who were queer/queer friendly and body positive, and Meaghan checked off both boxes in spades. My wife and I both have huge body insecurities and are deeply self-conscious of photos-but Meaghan made us both feel so beautiful. I was never even aware of the parts of myself I am usually hyper aware of because Meaghan and Evan both made us feel so comfortable. We were able to laugh and feel every emotion without once worrying about how we would look in the photos. On the day of, Meaghan kept us right on track without rushing us or making us feel stressed. We were definitely running behind at points but Meaghan handled it all with grace and helped me keep my head above water the whole time. They captured every moment in such a storybook way that we are able to talk about and remember every detail of the day based on the photos. This gallery is such a keepsake and such a special reminder of the best day of our lives. Its so heartwarming to look back and see how happy we and our guests look. And my wife and I both couldn’t have asked for more stunning photos of ourselves. We both look and feel so feminine, so whimsical, so magical. She captured our authentic selves, which is what makes her photos so unique and beautiful. I can't wait to order our prints and have these photos in our home forever! Thank you, Meaghan and Evan. There's so much more I could say but I'll leave off with, we are so grateful to have had you on our day. We love our photos so much. And we can't wait to have you do another shoot for us sometime in the near future! We cannot recommend you highly enough!

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!

Hi, I’m Heaven — a licensed esthetician and professional makeup artist based in Rhode Island. I’ve spent the past few years perfecting the art of soft, timeless glam that enhances your natural beauty and photographs beautifully. Through Heaven’s Beauty Bar, we offer on-site bridal makeup and hairstyling services for brides and their parties, creating a calm, personalized beauty experience on your big day.

I had the best experience at Heaven’s Beauty Bar! From the moment I walked in, the vibe was warm, welcoming, and totally luxe. Heaven was not only incredibly talented but also so sweet and attentive—she really took the time to understand the look I was going for and executed it flawlessly. My makeup looked stunning—flawless skin, perfectly blended eyeshadow, and lashes that popped without feeling heavy. I got compliments all day long! Everything felt lightweight and lasted beautifully, even hours later. Highly recommend Heaven’s Beauty Bar if you’re looking for top-tier glam with a personal touch. I’ll definitely be back for my next event!

My name is Nicole Bartlett and I am the owner of Nicole Bartlett Beauty, LLC (I know truly a unique business name). My love for all things beauty started at an early age. I honed in my skills and started working for MAC while in college. While studying for my degree I continued to work doing makeup and hair for weddings and events. It is truly my honor being able to make individuals feel their best. There is nothing more valuable to me then when my clients look in the mirror after I complete my services and they beam with confidence and beauty. I am so grateful to be trusted with your special day!

Working with Nicole Bartlett Beauty was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Her communication was always effective, on point, and easy, which helped make the wedding planning process much smoother. The quality of their work was truly beautiful, and they clearly cared deeply about ensuring I felt my absolute best on my special day. Nicole has a wonderfully calming presence and made me feel like a trusted friend throughout the entire experience. I felt absolutely beautiful thanks to their expert touch, and I'm so very thankful I booked her and her people for my wedding. I can't recommend Nicole highly enough.

Ayla is the definition of a perfect vendor. She is exceptionally talented, dedicated, resourceful, and collaborative. She exceeded our expectations and made an already lovely space feel magical. Ayla's passion and artistic skill is obvious. She immediately understood our organic, airy, and romantic vision, and she and her team made it a reality. With her expertise, an assortment of poppies, ranunculus, chamomile, sweet peas, smilax, etc., brought so much beauty, life, and color to our wedding day. Every design element - from my bridal bouquet to tablescapes and tent installations to our ceremony chuppah (undoubtedly, the most stunning chuppah I've ever seen) - was perfect. Not only does Shade Studios deliver an incredible product, but Ayla is also just cool. She's fun to talk to and brainstorm with, and her excitement, creativity, and curiosity make for a wonderful client experience. I highly recommend Shade Studios. 100/100!

Since a little girl I found myself always playing and expressing my love for art through makeup. During high school, I started taking clients in my little room. At first, it was just for fun, eventually I started venturing out and traveled to clients in the area. I was then able to get hired at my dream job, Sephora, which was one of the best experiences I've had. In 2022 I opened a studio in Johnston, Rhode Island and eventually joined a wedding team in Newport. I am super excited to showcase my talent in the bridal industry. Making someone feel and look beautiful on their special day has always my dream.

Absolutely fantastic job at doing wedding makeup for a diverse group of ladies! She was attentive to our desired looks and added her own magic. I have never felt as pretty as I did leaving her chair :) Wish all the photos were out to share but she did an amazing job. HIGHLY recommend.

For the biggest day of your life, you can't look anything less than brilliant. The morning of your wedding, we bring our team to sharpen up the gents. With our straight razor shaves, haircuts & styling, the groom and his party will be shining for the main event and photo shoots. We're great at tying bow ties and we won't forget the bourbon, cigars and music.

When we first started booking vendors for our wedding, I knew Christian from Doorbell Barbers was a non-negotiable. Christian is perfectly suited for his craft—calm, detail-oriented, and incredibly service-driven. He made each one of my groomsmen feel special and truly taken care of. This is a unique and thoughtful service that set the tone for our day, and all the guys looked amazing in the photos because of it.

When searching for a photographer, I was overwhelmed by the number of options available. Dominique didn’t make me feel pressured. She provided us with her wedding guide, which gave us insight into who she is. When we met remotely, I instantly knew she was the one. She was enthusiastic, listened attentively, and asked us questions about what is important to us leading up to the wedding and beyond. She was great to work with, and I knew what to expect. She drafted our timeline, offered recommendations, and helped us design it based on what was important to my husband and me. She curated a family shot list, and let me tell you, she did not disappoint. Her and her team were amazing.
