Awarded Best of Zola
The LE Glam Team was amazing to work with for my wedding day! Their communication was prompt, accommodating and they made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. From the trial run, Erin and Lisa listened to my ideas but also provided helpful suggestions, to the wedding day itself, their work was truly so professional and organized. On the wedding morning, they were even able to accommodate my elderly grandmother who wasn't originally part of the schedule, making her feel confident and beautiful. One of the best parts is I didn't need to touch up my makeup at all - it lasted all night long! With nerves high the morning of the wedding, they made me feel so relaxed and comfortable because I completely trusted them. I felt absolutely stunning, and I'm so grateful to the LE Glam Team for making me feel important and giving me one less thing to worry about from start to finish. I highly recommend them to any bride looking for a reliable, top-notch beauty team who makes you feel gorgeous for your special day.

Awarded Best of Zola
You should ABSOLUTELY choose DJ Kelsey for your wedding — or any event, really. When my wife and I started searching for vendors, we approached every decision with a lot of thought and research. On the Get Down Tonight website, I watched all the DJs’ introduction videos. At first, I realized I had inadvertently skipped the female DJs, immediately corrected myself, and watched their videos. Both women were fantastic, but Kelsey instantly stood out. While many DJs covered the usual talking points, Kelsey was the only one who emphasized being detail-oriented — mastering the pronunciation of every name, paying attention to pacing, and understanding the many moving parts of a wedding. She’s all about creating an incredible dance floor vibe, but she also clearly understands the responsibility of running the flow of an entire event. The DJ truly sets the tone, and Kelsey takes that seriously. Our friends and family love to be silly and have fun on the dance floor, and Kelsey understood that energy immediately. She chose songs perfectly, and throughout the night people kept complimenting our DJ while we were still dancing. My response every time was, “I know — she just gets it!” Kelsey asked us to create playlists of must-plays and do-not-plays, but by our final planning call we fully trusted her judgment. If she felt a song would hit perfectly in the moment, we wanted her to go for it — and she did. The entire night was banger after banger, and the dance floor stayed packed. One moment that absolutely blew us away happened after my two brothers gave their speech. They told a childhood story involving a niche, repetitive song I used to sing, and even sang it as part of the speech. After speeches ended and dinner music resumed — surprise! — Kelsey had somehow found that exact song and played it at the perfect moment. Everyone cracked up, and we got so many compliments on her quick thinking. I had even suspected she might do it as my brothers were singing, and she didn’t disappoint. At the end of the night, Kelsey shared the sweetest comments with us about our wedding, saying how wonderful our guests were and how warmly everyone treated the vendors. The next day she sent us a short clip of our first dance, along with kind words that meant a lot — especially since I had choreographed it myself. In another guest’s video, you can even see her cheering for us along with our friends and family. Kelsey told us she felt like a guest at our wedding, and I honestly consider that one of the highest compliments she could have given us — because that’s exactly how present, genuine, and connected she was throughout the night. You cannot go wrong with choosing DJ Kelsey. 10 out of 10. No notes.

Since then, we've documented hundreds of weddings, capturing the real moments that make each love story unique. Our approach is candid, emotional, and story-driven.

We had an absolutely seamless experience with our wedding videographer from start to finish. The entire process was easy, and on the big day, they were so discreet we hardly noticed them—yet the amount of stunning content they captured was truly remarkable. The videos they produced allow us to relive our wedding day again and again, and each time it brings back the same emotions. Choosing them was the best decision we made, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for a professional and talented videographer!

The Red Barn at Outlook Farm was the first wedding venue we toured, and it stuck with us through our other visits. The team there was extremely helpful and communicative as we made our decision to ultimately book with them. We were then assigned a coordinator, Rachel, who over the next several months helped us through all the decisions that needed to be made. When we arrived on the day of the rehearsal, I felt absolutely sure that we had checked all our boxes and had no concerns that anything was going to fall through the cracks. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful. Very spacious, with lots of different areas for guests to gather - and take photos! Many of our guests enjoyed the patio throughout the night. The food and drinks on wedding day were fantastic, as were the servers and bartenders. Everyone who works there is so friendly! Bonus: Booking a wedding there comes with a free round of golf! My husband was able to golf after our rehearsal the day before the wedding. Would recommend The Red Barn to anyone!

I am SO excited that you stumbled upon my work! I shoot weddings all across Florida & New England! Capturing raw, true emotions as they happen is what I’m all about. I want to capture it all on your big day. From the moments of you putting your dress to the tears running down your face as you read your vows to each other. To the first kiss and “OMG you’re my spouse now!!” feels. To the unexpected Taco Bell run you make after the ceremony or your grandparents getting down on the dance floor. Being able to grab the moments for you to hold to forever, is such a rewarding humbling job for me.

Gloria was amazing! Not only did she create such beautiful photos for us (both engagement shot and wedding day gallery) she is such a lovely personality to have with you on your wedding day! The engagement shoot was great- she made us really comfortable and she got such beautiful photos! The day of the wedding we had a second shooter (Sam) who got such great candid background shots to add to the spectacular gallery Gloria shot! The team managed to catch every important moment and I will cherish these photos forever! Side note- Gloria saved the day when we lost hook for my bustle within the folds of my wedding dress, she stepped in and immediately solved the problem. I will be grateful for both Gloria and Sam every time I look at these photos!

Weddings by Kaileigh, LLC 
Rating: 5.0 (37 reviews)
  • Planner
  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Exeter, NH

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.

Justin did an INCREDIBLE job at our wedding. His preparation and attention to detail beforehand was immaculate, as he spent over an hour with my partner and me going over the entire wedding day step by step. The sound systems were flawless- everyone could hear our vows during the ceremony and the quality of the sound during the entire day and night was exceptional. He kept our wedding very organized and was the perfect host. Regarding the music selection, he allowed us to make playlists for the cocktail hour and reception which he stuck to using beautiful transitions between songs. Our guests were dancing the entire night! All of our guests said it was the most fun wedding they had ever attended. 10/10 DJ, would definitely recommend him for any event. I included a pic of me doing the worm in my wedding dress. The dance floor was too packed so I had to do it on the side!

Getting married at the Granite Rose was the best decision we made. The planning team there is absolutely amazing - Anna helped us through most planning sessions, and Jill was our day of coordinator - both amazing at their jobs. Between the Granite Rose staff, and the partnerships with many of our vendors, our wedding went off without a hitch, and we were actually able to enjoy the process. We had an absolute blast on our wedding day, and it was absolutley due to this venue and their staff. I do not think we would have enjoyed our day this much if it had been at a different venue. From the decor, to the food, to the bar, to the dancefloor, everything was amazing. Could not have asked for a better crew - Our banquet coordinator, Joshua, had the most amazing energy, and made sure that my husband and I always had what we needed and that any concerns were addressed immediately. Our bartender, Mariah, was great at her job, and remembered everyone's drink order the entire night. The food was phenomenal - so delicious and our Chefs Jim and Joe were able to accomodate every allergy/request with no fuss. Our entire crew was so professional and we are so impressed by the service they provided (shout out Tirk, Kiara, Jen, and Hunter). We would highly recommend using Wedgewood Weddings for your wedding/event, and in particular looking into the Granite Rose, and their awesome team! We loved it!

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.

We had our vow renewal photos and our vow renewal save the date photos captured by Alba Lumos Photography. From the moment we first spoke with April and Jordan, who are the owners of Alba Lumos Photography, we were impressed by their open, honest, and professional communication style. They made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. They were so lighthearted and allowed us to have fun and be our true selves. From our first phone call with them, we knew they were the ones we wanted to photograph our big day, as their style and personalities meshed so well with us. Their work was efficient on our day, photos were received back so quickly, and were breathtakingly beautiful. April and Jordan did the best job at capturing all the most sentimental moments of our special day. April and Jordan were the absolute best to work with - they made us feel like the only people in the world and got incredible photos that we will cherish forever.

Choosing Felisha to be our wedding photographer truly was one of best decisions we made throughout our planning process. Right from the first phone call with her we could feel her excitement, passion and love for being a photographer. She made us feel comfortable and was there with us every step of the way for the whole time we got to work together. We chose to do our engagement photos with her and she knew just how to shake out all our nerves/shyness, making the whole process fun and stress free. The engagement photos were so beautiful and perfect to use for our Save the Dates. On our wedding day, Felisha was a constant source of genuine joy. She worked with our families and the vendor team seamlessly. She was always there to guide us, she kept everyone on time and she reminded me on multiple occasions to take a second to soak everything in. I had numerous family members and friends come up to me to tell me how amazing our photographer was throughout the night and in the weeks that followed. She laughed with our loved ones, she cried with our loved ones and she broke it down on the dance floor with everyone all while taking the most beautiful photos. And don't even get me started on the film! I will never run out of good things to say about Felisha. She photographed moments that we will cherish forever. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and on the day of our wedding she knew exactly how to capture all the special snippets of our day that would mean the most to look back on. We love Felisha and if we could do it again we would absolutely choose her!

DJ Jimmy Ice was my number one non-negotiable for our wedding, because he's THAT good. Before we even had a venue or date set I was 1000% sure that Jimmy was a priority, because music makes or breaks a wedding!! Not only does Jimmy have the ability to read the room and truly entertain the audience in front of him, he also is genuinely the nicest and most caring person ever. He will take the time to listen to your needs and make sure you have every type of setup you could possibly need. Also his hosting skills are TOP NOTCH! He did an amazing job announcing our wedding party and also gave such a great pump up speech to the group right before we all walked out.

Hi, I’m Julie! I’ve been photographing weddings for about ten years now (holy cow, do I feel old!), starting with photographing friends' weddings and quickly falling in love with the work. While I adore capturing gorgeous portraits of the bride and groom and the quiet (and sometimes chaotic!), beautiful moments during a wedding/elopement/engagement session, those ridiculous candid moments (like when a stranger offers you a fry on the boardwalk during your bridesmaid photos) truly make your day uniquely yours. I'd absolutely describe my style as a mixture of classic, artistic and photojournalism, but my heart lies in capturing candid moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
Julie made us and all our people look so freakin good, and captured the energy and the movement of so many moments so well. She has a lot of talent when it comes to using light to make her photos pop, and she knows how to do so in low light, with the sun behind the subject, etc. Feeling such appreciation for her and all the care she put into capturing the day so well. All of our friends and family members have loved them too. We'll certainly cherish them forever.

Sarah is an amazing photographer. I looked at probably a dozen other photographers for our wedding, but my fiancé and I were both super impressed with Sarah’s work and affordability. We recently had our engagement photos done and I was an anxious mess since I don’t normally wear make up or have my photos taken. However, I’m OBSESSED with how the photos came out. I feel so pretty looking at them and they truly represent our love and goofy relationship. Cannot wait to see the photos from our wedding next year.

Maekalah from Veil Beauty Loft was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. She made the whole process stress-free with quick responses over email and Instagram, which meant we never had to worry about getting our questions answered. On our wedding day, she felt like one of the girls—making all of us feel comfortable and at ease while she worked her magic. What really stood out was how she talked us through everything she was doing and gave us honest feedback about what would work best for our look. Her talent is clear, but what we loved most was how easy she made everything feel. We can't recommend Maekalah enough to any couple looking for a makeup artist who is both skilled and genuinely kind.

We had an amazing wedding thanks to Mandy from Breathe Easy Events! Choosing to work with her was one of the best decisions we made during the entire wedding planning process. From our very first phone call with her, Mandy was kind, helpful, and enthusiastic about helping us achieve the vision we had for our special day. Mandy went above and beyond in her communications, planning, and attention to detail when it came to our 50 person wedding. She was so knowledgable and experienced, and we learned so much during the venue walkthrough which prepared us for the big day. On our wedding day, she made sure the flow of events went smoothly, and checked on us throughout the event. She came to the rescue when the groom needed a bandaid, and even made sure we had drinks in our glasses during the reception! Mandy attended to all of the details, big and small.

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.

Choosing Hyla Brook Estate was one of the best decisions we ever made. We first saw the venue when it was just studs and a construction zone, but Kim’s clear vision and meticulous attention to detail during our initial meetings gave us complete trust that she would bring it to life beautifully — and she absolutely did. Over the 13 months between booking and our wedding, Kim and her team worked so closely with us to tailor every detail exactly how we wanted. Every single hiccup along the way was handled with grace, kindness, and genuine care, making us feel like part of the Hyla Brook family. On our wedding day, the estate was nothing short of stunning — a true reflection of Kim’s passion and dedication. We are so grateful to have found such an incredible venue and partner for our special day.

My business started when I was planning my own wedding. I love flowers, but we couldn't justify spending hundreds or thousands on real flowers to throw them away in a week when we also found out we were expecting our first child at the same time. In came wood flowers! After much practice, I discovered I have an eye for colors and floral design and now 4 years and MANY weddings and THOUSANDS of home decor pieces later, this is not only my passion but it is also my full time business. No side hustle here! You will have my undivided attention. I'll make sure your floral dreams come to life in wood and the best part, they LAST FOREVER!

Awarded Best of Zola
Katie was an absolute pleasure to work with. I decided I wanted wood flowers for my wedding, and when searching for a local artist, I gravitated toward Katie's designs. I found a local bridal show so I could see her work in person, and I made the decision to work with her as soon as I saw her table of flowers from across the room! It was a one-stop-shop! She did it all: my bridal bouquet, Bridesmaid & Jr. Bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages and flowers for our wedding cake. The planning process went well. She was able to take a swatch of my bridesmaid's dresses, and matched the color perfectly. She took some suggestions on the types of flowers I wanted to include in my wedding package and then used her creative genius to create stunning bouquets. They came out EXACTLY as I had envisioned! Our guests who knew I wanted wood flowers were shocked that they were so soft and realistic looking. The airbrushed roses on our cake looked so real! The little details like the pearl bracelets on the corsages, and the satin wrapped stems on the bridesmaid bouquets made everything look elegant and polished. I highly recommend Blue Dahlia Designs if you are thinking about using wood flowers in your wedding. I planned my wedding during the pandemic, and we had many challenges. Katie was so wonderful to work with and I am so happy with my flowers. I am STILL enjoying them, and we just celebrated our first anniversary.

I’ve been making pictures since I was 12. My parents gave me an ancient 35mm Konica Autoreflex camera, told me to get after it, and the rest, as they say, is history. My role as a photographer is to capture the rare, vulnerable, epic, extraordinary, and wonderfully ordinary moments of life, as well as the beautiful details in between. I strive to make images that come from the heart and will tell your story for years to come. Also, I might cry at your wedding. It happens.

Jo was the best addition to our day - everyone should hire her! She takes amazing photos and is so fun to work with. We are pretty sure that neither of us have had our photo professionally taken since middle school, so we really wanted a photographer that would make us feel at ease, and Jo is a master at that. Less of a photographer, more just a friend with a camera, she just becomes a part of the party. She took some major weather curveballs in stride, wrangled our huge families expertly, and made us feel so comfortable for the whole day. The whole process from the first emails, to engagement photos, to wedding day was smooth as silk. Our friends and family kept saying to us “your photographer is awesome” and we agree - best photographer ever!

The Victoria Inn and Pavilion was the perfect wedding venue for us. From the very beginning, their communication style was timely, thorough, and flexible - they worked with us every step of the way to ensure our special day was exactly how we envisioned it. The quality of their work and overall value was truly exceptional - the venue was elegant, affordable, and had a classic, timeless feel. They were incredibly accommodating, allowing us to mix and match our experience to meet our specific needs, including being flexible on catering. We also had the option to rent out the inn for the weekend, which we opted out of, but would have been perfect for a larger group. AK, the venue coordinator, was a pleasure to work with and made sure we were able to meet all of our requests without breaking the bank. If you're looking for an affordable wedding space that doesn't compromise on elegance, we highly recommend The Victoria Inn and Pavilion.

I’m a New Hampshire wedding photographer, who specializes in candid, natural wedding photography, serving all of New England for over fifteen years. Almost all of my couples come to me saying that they feel weird in front of the camera and worried about how their photos will turn out. But of course they want those gorgeous, Pinterest-worthy shots! My laid-back attitude will help put you at ease, helping your true personalities shine through (with simple and fun guidance for the posed photos). And my quiet and calm nature makes it easy for me to blend into the background, to get tons of candid photos that you will make you laugh and cry.

We chose Brett for our photographer for our wedding and could not be happier. She was great to work with, quick and easy communication. She made us feel comfortable during the engagement session and wedding day. The photos were beautiful and captured the special moments of the day so well. I would highly recommend!
