Shannon and Three Roots were amazing to work with! You can see from the photos (By Jessie Barentsen) below how absolutely stunning our florals were on our day. Throughout the whole planning process Shannon was so easy to communicate with and always had very prompt, timely responses. She was able to take my thoughts and visions bring them together and to life. She was very detail oriented down to having me select ribbons and vessels for our bouquets and florals. She sourced the most beautiful candles and bud vases for us as well. We had some last minute cancellations and cut down 2 tables and she worked with us to reallocate what we had paid for those tables to florals elsewhere in the space to not lose out. On our day there was so much love and hugging the groomsmen boutonnieres were falling off before the ceremony and she made new ones for all of them and placed them on. I cannot recommend Shannon enough!

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Eilidh to play at our wedding, and it was one of the best choices we made! Not only was her music absolutely beautiful, she helped us curate the song selection from the moment we hired her all the way to the days leading up to the wedding. When we weren't sure of song choices, she offered us a selection from various genres. I even asked Eilidh to learn a brand new song for when I walked down the aisle, and she overdelivered. Eilidh went out of her way to find the custom arrangement for the song (Happily Ever After - WDW). She played it beautifully. It's been quite some time since our wedding, but I still hear from our guests about the beautiful harpist music.

In the days that followed our reception, we received compliments about the entrees and passed hors d’oeuvres. They are plated like an inspired high-end restaurant.

Marvin was FANTASTIC and such an awesome DJ for our wedding at the Burr Mansion in Fairfield. He made it very easy for us to communicate what we were looking to do for our order of events (speeches, toasts, dances, etc.) and give him our recommended music. We had *so* many compliments about how wonderful of an emcee he was, as well as there being such a great mix of music for all the generations there that kept everyone on the dance floor the whole night! Our original time set for dinner ran a little late because the kitchen was running behind, but he did a wonderful job keeping things moving; no one had any idea we were waiting on dinner! Marvin even played a handful of songs that were not on our original recommendations list and was very prepared to do so! He ensured such a great flow & we were so so glad to have found him.

Awarded Best of Zola
As the mother of the bride, this was my first time helping to plan a wedding, and a friend suggested I hire a day-of coordinator. Mia’s company came highly recommended by the Hyatt Regency Greenwich, and from the moment we spoke with her, we knew she was the perfect fit. I originally thought a day-of coordinator only stepped in on the wedding day—but Mia guided us well before that. She coordinated with vendors, built a detailed timeline, organized all of our personal items, and answered every question with professionalism, clarity, and calm. As the big day approached, she became a true source of strength and reassurance. On the wedding day, she was everywhere at once—easily logging 18,000 steps—making sure every detail was set up beautifully and everything ran exactly on time. She worked seamlessly with our contact at the Hyatt, and when the night was over, all our belongings were perfectly packed and ready to take home. I have nothing but admiration for this go-getter, this steady hand, this absolute superwoman. Mia made my daughter’s wedding day flawless, and I am endlessly grateful.

My name is George. I’m a wedding, event, and portrait photographer based in Connecticut. I began my photography journey at the age of 17. In 2009, I attended the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan, NY, where I completed the Fashion Photography program. As an artist, my goal is to create natural images that are full of life and express beauty. I approach each client’s needs with care and creativity—capturing emotions, unique details, and the essence of your story. Professional photographer since 2009 and have photographed over 200 weddings.

Awarded Best of Zola
We booked George to capture our wedding day at an outdoor venue in northern MA. As a photographer myself I have high standards when it comes to photos, so I was very selective when making my choice. But I'm happy to report that we made a great choice with George as his work is top notch. Before the wedding we had 2 phone calls to plan out the many scenes we'd want him to capture. We also shared some light guidance on editing style, which he happily incorporated. On the day of the wedding George arrived promptly (early even, which was good) despite the fact he was driving many hours from CT. George did a great job making people feel comfortable in front of the camera. He seemed very experienced as throughout the day he seamlessly transitioned from the foreground to the background as needed. He was never in the way, but always nearby and ready to jump in and capture whatever was happening. He also captured a variety of types of shots, from the wide, establishing shots to the perfectly composed closeups of intimate moments - with lots of extra detail shots and plenty of candids too. For the ceremony in particular, he displayed his great eye and quick reaction time to document every moment and every angle, including crowd reactions. He came well prepared too with 2 Sony mirrorless cameras and a large off-camera flash to ensure even lighting. From our 8-hour shoot he provided over 1,400 fully edited photos (each 61MP) via a Google Drive download link. We were extremely please with the quality and speed of our portfolio (fully delivered within 2 weeks). On top of that, George happily provided me with the full edited portfolio in TIFF file format, per my request. The file sizes are much larger so I gave him a 512GB USB drive which he loaded and shipped back to me. I really can't say enough good things about George. So just book him now and I know you'll be pleased with the results!

I am so grateful she was there for my big day—her presence made everything feel effortless and truly special. From the very beginning, she was incredibly thoughtful and professional. Before the shoot, we met to discuss our ideas, and she took the time to truly understand our vision. Not only did she listen attentively, but she also shared her own creative suggestions based on her research, making everything even better than we had imagined. On the day of the shoot, having her there felt like having a trusted guide and a dear friend by my side, capturing beautiful moments in the most natural way. She created such a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere that I never once worried about how the photos would turn out—I simply enjoyed the moment. Her presence on my ceremony day wasn’t just about taking pictures; she played a key role in making sure everything went smoothly. When we received the final photos, my husband and I were beyond thrilled. Each image felt like a window back to that magical day, filled with love and joy. We couldn’t stop looking at them!

What brings me joy on your wedding day is watching your gorgeous faces from the back of the aisle, knowing that your wedding is unfolding exactly as we planned it. You are excited and focused on each other, just as it should be. Your happiness is my happiness, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Events By Missy & Company was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our first conversation, Melissa and her team demonstrated an organized, thoughtful, and kind communication style that immediately put us at ease. Throughout the planning process and on the day of, they provided a stress-free, nice, and confident approach, quickly solving any problems that arose so we could fully enjoy our special day. Melissa in particular worked tirelessly to come up with solutions rather than dwell on issues, handling a few minor hiccups behind the scenes that we didn't even know about until later. Their professionalism and attention to detail allowed us to have a truly memorable wedding celebration. We are so grateful to Events By Missy & Company for making our wedding day perfect.

Hi! I’m Izzy a makeup artist based in Connecticut. I specialize in soft glam: all the steps of a full glam look with seamless blending for a softer, elegant finish. While soft glam is my signature, I can create any style, from natural glow to full glam. There’s no minimum booking — if you want me there just for you, I’ll be there! I truly love what I do. Yes, business matters, but my heart is in creating a special experience from the first message to your trial and your wedding day. I’m always improving my craft and staying up-to-date with the latest techniques to give you the best service. I’d be honored to be part of your special day!

Absolutely amazing! My experience with this makeup artist was flawless from start to finish. She is not only incredibly talented but also caring, attentive, and truly understands her clients, sometimes even better than we can explain ourselves. The makeup was perfect, long-lasting, and made me feel confident and beautiful all day. I couldn’t recommend her more!

I'm a licensed esthetician and makeup artist. My background is in TV and working for several beauty companies across the country. We do a lot of maternity/family session hair & makeup during the week and weddings on weekends. However, I'm always down for a weekday wedding having eloped myself. Our beauty team specializes in natural makeup applications and romantic hair styling. We travel to you for your special day or event.

Eye For Beauty CT was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the very first interaction, their communication was prompt, were easy to talk to, and extremely happy to address all of my questions and concerns. The quality of their work was nothing short of impeccable - Kim did my hair and makeup exactly the way I envisioned it, and I felt flawless on our special day. She was on time for our appointment and always had a wonderfully friendly demeanor that made it feel like having a friend getting ready with me. Kim was very patient, listened intently to my requests, and made sure I was completely satisfied. I cannot recommend Eye For Beauty CT highly enough for any bride-to-be looking for a top-notch beauty team to help make their special day truly unforgettable.

Be the Star Photo Booth is a photo booth company servicing weddings and other events, operating out of Shelton, CT. The team is committed to providing professional services from start to finish, using top-of-the-line equipment to create a first-class memorable wedding experience. Be the Star Photo Booth was established in 2013 by husband and wife duo Mark and Denise. The pair have been working together in the entertainment industry since 1996, with years of experience enhancing weddings and events. The team enjoys elevating events with their photo booth, offering couples and guests a take-home token when the celebrations have ceased.

If you’re wondering whether a photo booth is worth it—stop wondering and book this one. It was pure joy from start to finish. The setup blended beautifully with our rustic-whimsical wedding vibe, and the props? Hilarious, high-quality, and somehow perfect for every guest. But the real stars were the attendants. They weren’t just running a booth—they were part of the celebration. Warm, upbeat, and totally in sync with the energy of the wedding, they kept the line moving, the smiles wide, and the vibe lighthearted. Guests are still texting us about their photo strips, (that were high quality prints I must add) and we now have a scrapbook full of goofy grins, heartfelt moments, that they gave us night of the wedding. If you’re planning an event and want to add a dash of magic, a splash of humor, and a whole lot of memories—this photo booth team delivers. Ten out of ten, would rent again.
