First of all - the end product was just beautiful. Everything from the bridal bouquet to the ceremony flowers to the table styling was exquisite and super unique. Shannon did a great job incorporating my favorite color (yellow) and a whimsical, organic wildness into the design exactly as I had hoped. From our first meeting to the written proposal, Shannon interpreted my thoughts and ideas exactly. I was so impressed that she took my ramblings and half ideas and pulled them together into what I was seeing in my head. Shannon’s GORGEOUS color palette informed the entire wedding design and gave me a jumping off point for invitations, bridesmaid dresses, other decor, etc. Unfortunately, the process of working with Shannon was a bit challenging. She struggled with nailing down details: incorrect number of tables, inconsistent accounting of candles/bud vases, etc. It took a number of incorrect proposal drafts until we got it right - just weeks before the wedding. We were honestly quite disappointed by Shannon’s flexibility and communication. She self-describes as being highly collaborative, but that was not our experience. First, as beer nerds, having hops in the design was super important to us, and while she flagged early on it could be an issue to source real ones, we discussed using fake. While we all agreed that she shouldn’t use fake hops if they looked bad, we were sad to see on the day of that they didn’t make it into the design. It would have been nice to have heard a heads up from her that she didn’t plan to use them - even if it was just a brief mention on the day-of. Second, when our cake plans fell through at the last minute, we asked Shannon if she could possibly supply a few flowers for our small 6” cutting cake. She told us she would try, but later we heard from the bakery that she had given them a flat no. She never communicated her decision to us. Thankfully, the bakery pulled something together for us (shout out to Zest Pastry!). Third, the Monday before the wedding, Shannon sent an alarming email with the subject line “Head Advisory, Oh No!”, asking us what our plan was. Getting any email titled “Oh No” isn’t fun to receive less than a week before your wedding. Further, as a trusted wedding vendor, we would hope that she would have plans for weather or unexpected events rather than looking to us during a very stressful period. Lastly, (and most disappointingly) despite having a run of day schedule, Shannon was nowhere to be found when it was time to put on boutonnieres and corsages. Our photographers and party thankfully jumped in to help to avoid major delays to portraits (shout out to Katie Slater!). Fundamentally, the product Shannon provided was beyond compare - everything was beautiful. That said, the communication, coordination, and organization were lacking from our experience.

They also have the Swan Room that can fit over 150 people or something like that. The whole second floor was dedicated to our event. Here are some of the features it had that just makes sense functionally: we had a bridal suite that fit our whole bridal party and parents, an elevator since it was on the second floor, a grand staircase, our own bathrooms and bar separate from the downstairs area, a built-in dance floor, and a welcome landing. We had to bring minimal decorations, like centerpieces and such. They provide table settings, everything in the bar, name cards, and table numbers. We suggest finding a vendor for uplighting. Our DJ provided it for us and made the room look amazing. The food is fancy and delicious. 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. We had an open bar and everyone was very pleased with the service. TLDR: these people know what they’re doing. The space is BUILT for weddings, not retrofitted, and it shows.

  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Darien, CT

Here at Tree Films, we make your story a priority. We strive to get to know our couples and how they came to be, down to the silly coincidences and weird first dates. We like to think that our mission goes beyond just documenting your wedding day -- the goal is to create an unforgettable experience! We are invested in making each video as genuine as possible, as if your story was being told by a best friend who witnessed all the important stuff. Tell us who you are as a couple and let us put together a video that tells the story from day one to I do!

Treefilms is a stellar photography and videography company! After our venue, they were the second vendor we booked as photography and videography was very important to us. Ashley was responsive and kind from the beginning! She was open to our ideas in regard to location and then made it look even better in the photo video! We felt so comfortable during that shoot and at our wedding in front of the camera with them. They gave us enough direction that it was easy to know what to do, but did not result in stiff or overly posed pictures. The candid shots that they captured throughout the wedding day are photos we will cherish; they were able to capture all the emotions so perfectly. The team worked seamlessly with all the other vendors, they truly know what they’re doing! (Shoutout to Ashley for doing up the buttons on my dress!) Our wedding video is a work of art, I don’t think it’s comparable to the standard videos produced by other vendors. Treefilms is the vendor we recommend most to friends and family, and we look forward to working with them again in the future!

Doorbell Barbers did an incredible job on haircuts for both my husband and me, as well as our groomsmen. Our hair has never looked better! Christian was not only an amazing barber but also truly kind and understanding of our time constraints, even accommodating some last-minute changes without any hassle. His pricing was more than fair for the quality of work and level of professionalism. The whiskey and cigar treatment made our groomsmen happier then ever, and the mini-facials were something that truly helped calm the nerves on the big day! What really stood out was how compassionate and flexible Christian was when unexpected, and incredibly tragic, circumstances forced us to postpone our wedding for a year. He handled everything with such grace and made the rescheduling process stress-free during a very challenging time. We couldn’t have asked for better service or a more thoughtful experience. Thank you, Doorbell Barbers and Christian, for making our big day look and feel amazing. Highly recommend!

Merry by Mia

  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Darien, CT

Everyone needs an events coordinator whose responsibility is to make sure you--and everyone at the center of the celebration--enjoy the event. Merry by Mia will be in your corner and take away all logistical stress.

One of the big pieces of advice my husband and I first received from married friends was to hire a wedding planner/coordinator and we are SO happy we went with the Merry by Mia team for our May 2024 wedding at Audrey’s Farmhouse! Mia and her team are top-notch, and are incredibly knowledgeable about our venue, to boot! While Merry by Mia bill themselves as “day-of coordinators”, their support really started months before our wedding. From the moment we jumped on our first call with Mia, we knew her team was right for us. She was so warm and excited for us, and was willing to answer any questions we had via phone call, email, and over “office hours” that she hosts on weekends for any couple her team is supporting - even if their “day-of” services haven’t technically started yet. When we weren’t sure about our wedding timeline for the day of, Mia sent us a sample timeline from another May wedding her team had coordinated at our same venue from a previous year. When we had questions about our officiant’s script, Mia sent us the skeleton script she had used when she officiated a wedding, complete with sentence starters for different vows. When we were struggling to find HMU artists who worked with diverse wedding parties, Mia sent us suggestions - one of which we booked and were so so happy with! When we were debating what late-night food to get our guests, Mia said she still dreamed of the Audrey’s team’s chicken fingers…and so of course we went with the chicken fingers - and guess what our guests still talk about?! These are just some of the many examples of how much we really relied on Mia’s expertise and support in the months leading up to the wedding, and how she continually went above and beyond. When it came to our actual wedding coordination, Mia let us know that she wouldn’t be available, and so we’d be working with her colleague Sara, who had actually coordinated Mia’s own wedding. Sara, too, was incredible. From about three months out from the wedding, Sara was in constant contact with us about upcoming vendor deadlines, helping us organize our final timeline, floor plans, and vendor COIs. She liaised with our venue when we had additional questions, and sent us resources for all sorts of things, from figuring out how to get our officiant (a family member) ordained to locating websites where we could generate wedding crosswords for free. Sara assisted us both on the rehearsal night, making sure things went smoothly, and the wedding day. She immediately connected with my family when we arrived, putting my parents at ease, and was wonderfully calm, steady, and supportive on the day of the wedding, from helping set up our tables and making sure all signage was placed appropriately, to helping me get a pollen stain out of my wedding dress with stain remover from her all-encompassing emergency kit, to arranging for an extra seat for a surprise guest who showed up, to getting band-aids and my husband’s and my dancing shoes (Nike Dunks) to us during dinner after my husband developed a blister from his loafers, to packing our decor back up at the end of the night. Mia and Sara had assured us that on the day of the wedding, all the planning we’d done together would pay off and we wouldn’t have to stress about a thing - and I can say our wedding was truly stress-free. Both Mia and Sara ended up feeling like friends by the end of this process, and I am so so glad we put our wedding in their hands.

Eye For Beauty CT 

4.3

  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 9
  • Serves Darien, CT

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.

Working with Kim and the team at Eye for Beauty was a dream! As many others have said, I don't wear make-up or style my hair normally, so I was nervous about having to "wear a face" on my wedding day. But my nerves quickly subsided after my hair and make-up trial. DEFINITELY DO THE TRIAL! My concerns were heard and, even though I was unsure about wearing lashes, I barely could tell they were on after a few minutes. Day-of, they were very familiar with the venue (Bill Miller's Castle), and so everything went smoothly (and ahead of schedule!). They were even kind enough to have a stylist/artist go to a family member's hotel room too! Highly recommend choosing Eye for Beauty as your hair/make-up team, especially if you are not typically one to wear make-up!

I cannot say enough great things about Luxe Carts by Missy! The service was absolutely outstanding from start to finish.

We had such an incredible experience hosting our wedding at The Waterview! Ariel and Kat were such a pleasure to work with.

The venue itself is beautiful and we have received so many compliments on how it was one of the nicest venues many of our guests have ever been to. We were so impressed with the quality of all of our food options and they were so accommodating to any dietary requests we had. The Waterview truly made our special day one we will never forget!
