Absolutely five stars for Sweetened Memories! We chose them for our wedding desserts, including cupcakes, whoopie pies, macarons, and a single-tier sweetheart cake, and everything was absolutely incredible. The cake was stunningly beautiful, but it tasted even better—every bite was perfection. Sweetened Memories was so easy to work with, and every flavor we tried was amazing. If you’re considering a dessert bar or cupcakes for any event, I can’t recommend them enough. They truly made our special day even sweeter!

Chris captured our wedding day and we were blown away with the beauty of his photos! It's like we were there again, in each moment. He is fantastic to work with, quick to respond and listens to every idea you have. On the day of, he guided us really nicely to keep a good flow and he really knew what to capture when it came time for candids during the reception. He had so many thoughtful ideas and joyful energy, it made our whole day that much better! Thank you Chris!

Emery Farm Stays was a pleasure to work with as a wedding planner. The couple I worked with was able to truly make the space their own, from customizing the lighting to designing a flow that felt unique to their day. The owner was on site throughout the process, helping with vendor deliveries and ensuring everything ran smoothly — from parking to sound and everything in between. The farm itself is a beautiful setting with dedicated spaces for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner and dancing. I would highly recommend Emery Farm Stays to any couple searching for a flexible, well-run, and beautiful wedding venue.

Durham, NH
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500

Hi! I'm Hannah. I'm a wedding photographer of 8 years, a wife, and an occupational therapist. I have always loved stories.​ Your relationship is a fun, unique story unlike anyone else's, so your photography should reflect that. When I work with you, my goal is to capture your personalities, passions, and relationship styles. For this reason, sessions with me are fairly relaxed-- I like to give you time to be yourself and interact, which showcases your unique quirks, #relationshipgoals, and ways of loving each other.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the honor of DJing the wedding of Hannah's sister some years back and was amazed to see that not only was she a Bridesmaid, but also, the principle photographer! Talk about multitasking! One of her photos from that very wedding has graced my website for years! After seeing her photos from that wedding, it was abundantly evident her level of talent! Hannah was an absolute JOY to work with and her easy-going, yet determined "to get that perfect shot" presence is what makes her stand above the crowd. From a fellow vendor's perspective, she is the ideal vendor! She is hard-working, loyal, creative, caring, and a master of her craft! She works diligently with her clients to achieve and exceed all expectations. On a personal note: fast-forward a few years, I had the honor of DJing HER wedding (she didn't do double-duty as the photographer for this event - after all, as the Bride, I think she deserved a day off!), and it was spectacular! In this business, vendors often "come and go" - but you see them around enough that they become "acquaintances"... of course, I could always recommend the services of an "acquaintance"; however, I'd much rather recommend the services of a fellow vendor that I can actually call "my friend". Don't hesitate, go with HannahCate!

We worked with Kevin Maldonado for our 11.17 ceremony and reception at the Granite Rose in Hampstead NH. Main Event was the recommended DJ service from our venue, and the matching process to put us with the rigth DJ was so easy. Once we met with Kevin, we had high hopes for our big day, and I am not exaggerating when I say that Kevin blew our hopes out of the water. Kevin helped with audio for our ceremony, before doing music and speeches at our cocktail hour and reception. We requested a high energy dancefloor, with classics from all decades to get everyone on their feet, and wanted to have an insane dance party with our friends and family. He killed it. The energy on the dancefloor was impeccable, and Kevin delivered our vision PERFECTLY. He was so professional, but fun, and everything went very smoothly, no hiccups, no complaints. I would absolutlely, 100% recommend Kevin, and Main Event Entertainment, for anyone looking for a DJ for a wedding or event. You will not be disappointed.

We hosted our wedding at Hyla Brook Estate in May 2026, and I don’t think we could have found a better venue if we tried. HBE is so stunning, and it provided us such a beautiful place for all our favorite people to connect. The building really captured our laid-back and whimsical vision, and all the amenities (the bridal/groom suites, the many bathrooms, the decor collection) the venue offered took so much logistical stress off of our plates. The HBE team was literally squeegeeing and leaf-blowing water off our ceremony space after it rained all morning, just to make sure we were able to hold our ceremony outside. Kim and the HBE team truly go above and beyond to ensure your event is beautiful and goes off without a hitch. Amanda Muir was our day-of coordinator, and she handled everything with such ease and grace. She tackled every request and quirky detail of our wedding with enthusiasm and positivity. Having her in the building was literally like having an extra bestie to hang out with all day, and knowing that she was taking care of everything put me at such ease and really allowed me to enjoy the day to the fullest. We really cannot recommend Hyla Brook Estate enough!!

Kevin didn’t just play amazing music; he went above and beyond to help us stay on timeline and made sure everything flowed smoothly throughout the night. He even coordinated with our photographer and videographer to ensure we got our sunset photos in — something we’re so grateful for!

Stop scrolling! You found us! My name is Chelsea. I am a New England based wedding officiant who writes and performs custom ceremonies for weddings and elopements. I believe every couple deserves to feel guided by a seasoned professional on their wedding day. I also believe your officiant should feel like a natural part of the day. Warm, familiar, and completely at home within the celebration of your story. My goal is to fit seamlessly into each wedding, sharing your love story with clarity, romance, and just the right amount of humor for the people who matter most. I have two other talented officiants on my team, Ren and Connor, increasing our wedding season availability!

From our first conversation, Chelsea understood exactly what we wanted for our ceremony. They were thoughtful in every detail and always got back to us quickly with ideas and updates leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, they crafted the feeling for the whole ceremony in a way that made it truly ours. Their ability to weave our story and values into the vows and words spoken felt priceless—it's not something you can put a price tag on. We felt so supported by her throughout the entire process, and our guests kept mentioning how personal and meaningful the ceremony was. We can't recommend The Marrying Jane enough to couples looking for an officiant who will make their day unforgettable.

I’m so grateful I found Liv to be part of my special day. Not only did she absolutely crush it day of, but she helped me to become so confident before the day arrived. I’m not a huge make up person, I’m actually pretty terrible at doing it myself. I generally stick to mascara and an eyebrow pencil so knowing what I “wanted” was overwhelming to say the least. Liv walked me through all my options and encouraged me to speak up when I didn’t like something (being a pathological people pleaser, this is hard!!). My skin is very dry so when I left everything looked amazing but as the day went on, I noticed caking. I let her know and she explained why what happened had happened and we talked about what I could do day to day to help, along with scheduling facials to prep my skin before the big day. It truly paid off. Not only was it a great pampering but my make up day of stayed ALL DAY AND NIGHT! Even through the happy tears and heavy dancing that took place! It was unbelievable. If you’re looking for someone who is down to earth, easy to talk to and collaborate with, a great listener, and a master of their craft, look no further. Liv is your girl!!!

Choosing the Red Barn for our wedding venue was the best decision we made!! The venue is absolutely gorgeous, the staff and on-site coordinators are absolutely incredible, and everything was so seamless from beginning to end, from the planning stages to the wedding day. Our venue coordinator Emily was a dream—she was so easy to work with and made the process a breeze: After we booked all our vendors ourselves and planned all our details, we met with Emily multiple times to talk about the day-of, and she was there on-site to make sure everything went smoothly (including setting up our decor, cuing the music and recessional/processional for our ceremony, keeping the timeline on track, and handling everything else that came up during the wedding day). Our day was absolutely perfect! She’s a superstar! For the venue itself, we can’t recommend it enough. The reception space is stunning, the foyer area for cocktail hour was perfect, and there’s a bridal suite for the bride/groom and bridal party. Staying at their sister property, the Stage House Inn gave us access to a shuttle service to and from the inn to the venue, which made the wedding day so easy (and the hotel is great!) We didn’t use the outdoor spaces as much because we got married in December, but we took some photos and the golf course and brick architecture were perfect backdrops. Overall, we really cannot recommend the Red Barn enough. From the absolutely amazing, friendly and welcoming staff (from the sales team to coordinators to catering and bar staff) to every single detail, we’re so happy with our wedding! If you’re considering booking the Red Barn, do it!

Hello! I’m Kaileigh, owner of Weddings by Kaileigh, LLC. I established my business in April 2023, and have done over 50 weddings in the last three seasons. I was a teacher for 11 years, so planning and coordinating comes naturally to me. I also ran the hospitality committee at my school. Most importantly, I'm a mom of two amazing, little humans and a wife to a supportive husband. I love to garden, be outside and go adventuring with my kids. In 2023, I took a leap and started my next adventure in the wedding planning industry, and got my wedding planning certificate. I am also a venue coordinator part-time.

Awarded Best of Zola
This one is going to be long because we have so many things to say about this incredible woman. I don’t even know where to start with Kaileigh. We found her on Zola at the early stages of planning and we’re so beyond grateful and thrilled to have had her with us through this journey. She is so incredibly organized, on top of everything, prompt, efficient, kept us on track and so supportive. She is super creative and had so many great ideas that brought our vision to life and made it even better than we imagined. Planning with her was fun, easy and very enjoyable. She was at all of our vendor meetings, asked questions we never thought to ask, and made sure we were happy with everything at every point and was easy to pivot. As we approached our big day, she just continued to blow us away and we felt so much less stress than I think most people probably feel. We knew we were in the best hands with Kaileigh who had our back, knew our vision and who we knew we could count on. Her work can be somewhat chaotic I would imagine, but you’d never be able to tell by looking at her. She is so poised, calm, composed, competent, decisive, efficient, energetic, professional and dynamic. One of my favorite things I noticed working with her is her undeniable joy and love for this industry and what she does. She is in her element and it is clear to anyone who observes her that this is where she belongs. This work fuels her and she invests so much of herself in everything she does. Not only is she so wickedly talented and smart, she is just so kind, sweet, compassionate, funny, lighthearted and just the coolest human. It didn’t take long for us to fall in love with her and just want to be her friend. By the time our rehearsal rolled around, I felt like it was weird that she was just present for the event and not sitting at the table with us! At this point we just considered her our friend and just wanted to hang out and celebrate with her! Going into our wedding day, I felt a sense of calm I never, ever thought I would be able to experience. I’m a person that struggles with anxiety, I feel overwhelmed, I overthink and worry about everything and I was convinced I would be beside myself with stress and anxiety on my wedding day but I was completely fine.. I was calm and was able to enjoy my preparation, spending time with my girls and just relax. That is 1000% thanks to Kaileigh. I knew everything was being handled and I trusted her judgement, abilities and knowledge and that it was going to be amazing… and I was right! Walking into this beautiful venue with all of our visions that came to life right in front of me took my breath away. It was GORGEOUS!! Throughout the night, Kaileigh continued to keep everything running smoothly. I needed her quite a few times for different things and she was never far and always ready for whatever it was. She even helped me out of my wedding dress and into a reception dress in tiny stall with barely enough room for one person, let alone two… which tells you the level of comfort one builds with a person like Kaileigh. It was like my sister or my best friend helping me out. She was everywhere all at once and never broke a sweat. We’ve gotten nothing but absolutely raving compliments on her from our friends and family that attended. Everyone noticed how expertly she put this wedding together and how it all went off so perfectly. We are so thankful for her. Do yourself this favor and book Kaileigh for your most important day.

The music selections were perfect for keeping guests of all ages entertained and they did a great job hyping up the crowd to keep the dance floor packed! Overall, Music on the Move was incredibly easy to work with and provided quality music for the money. We'd highly recommend them to other couples planning their weddings.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about The Everlee but we will try! From the moment we first toured this stunning new venue, we knew it was the perfect place for our wedding. The barn and pavilion are absolutely breathtaking, with every detail thoughtfully designed, and the outdoor ceremony space gave us the most magical backdrop for our day. One of the things that mattered most to us was having a truly private setting, and The Everlee delivered that perfectly. After touring several venues that felt like we would be on display, it was such a gift to find a place that felt peaceful, secluded, and completely ours for the day - it felt like home as cliché as it sounds. What truly made our experience unforgettable, though, was Andee. She went above and beyond for us every step of the way. Her planning and organizational skills are unmatched—she thought of every little detail before we even knew to ask. Even our families, bridal party, and guests had nothing but amazing things to say about Andee. Beyond her professionalism, Andee is genuinely kind, supportive, and calming, which made the entire planning process so smooth and enjoyable. On our wedding day, we were able to be fully present because we knew we were in the best hands. We wholeheartedly recommend The Everlee to anyone looking for a venue that combines beauty, privacy, functionality, and heart. And if you have the chance to work with Andee, consider yourself incredibly lucky—she is truly a dream coordinator and beautiful person inside and out!

Sometimes photos feel stiff, but not these. They look like real life, full of fun and happiness. I loved how comfortable they made everyone feel. Even the guys who usually hate being photographed were laughing and smiling. The video honestly blew me away. It had the perfect mix of emotion and fun. You could feel the love between the bride and groom, but also the joy of everyone around them. Watching it felt like being there all over again. I’ll never forget how amazing everything looked.

From our first meeting to our wedding day, everyone was amazing. The stress of wedding planning was made easier with the team at Granite Rose. Lily our day-of coordinator was the best!! She listened to everything that we asked or needed and helped with calming the nerves. Joshua banquet captain was very helpful all around and so sweet. He really made the day run smooth as well. Both of them we just so kind. The whole staff at the Granite Rose is lovely. After the wedding, we received so many comments about how great and professional the staff was. It was the best nights of our lives and we cannot thank you enough for helping us make so many cherished memories. We would 100% recommend this venue to anyone who looking to plan a wedding!

Hey! I'm a New England Native, queer 5' 4" bundle of fun, and your dream photographer! I'm passionate about documenting the beauty of joyful moments. I'm a sucker for beautiful light and love all the little details.

Will was incredibly professional, responsive, and timely. He really listened to what I needed (and didn't) from our wedding photos. The gallery he delivered was beautiful. I just got them printed and the quality is so nice. The crisp colors and lighting he uses make these photos classic and timeless.

I'd say my photography style would be something along the lines of "lifestyle photography". [That means that posing you in silly ways that seem fake / awkward isn't really my jam.] I mean, unless that gets some snuggles & laughs. I'm ALLLL about that. I like to capture REAL life with REAL emotions and REAL smiles. Your session should be relaxed and fun. [All while I get some kick-ass photos!] I will most likely make a giant fool of myself at your session, so you'll feel like a professional. I sing, trip, laugh, make noises, mention inappropriate things, show my nerdiness. AKA YOU'RE GOING TO DO JUST FINE.

Awarded Best of Zola
Highly recommend April and her husband (aka second shooter), Jordan, for your wedding/engagement/event of any sort! They both made us incredibly comfortable - even when we were a little camera shy. We're absolutely in love with our entire wedding album! They scoped out the venue when they arrived and had a clear plan to get the best shots. Their experience, combined with their relaxed nature and natural energy, made taking all of our pictures a breeze! April's commitment is also next-level, getting knee deep in the lake at our venue to facilitate one of the best shots of our wedding. Can't recommend Alba Lumos enough!!
