Willow & Grey 
Rating: 5.0 (14 reviews)
Guilford, CT
  • Florist

I instinctually fell in love with the creativity of floral design and it wasn’t long until Willow & Grey was born. WG creates unique, romantic, and whimsical floral designs for weddings and events in New England. My desire is to curate florals that reflect and celebrate the beauty and magic in life’s most cherished moments.

Willow & Grey were an absolute pleasure to work with. Their communication was clear, fast, and easy, making the planning process a breeze. The quality of their work was truly amazing - the floral arch they created for our ceremony was romantic, stunning, and the perfect grand backdrop. Everyone raved about the hanging florals they set up in the ceremony space as well. Renee is so sweet and brought my vision board and dreams to life, creating a final look that was even more beautiful than I could have imagined. I look back at the pictures and am still in awe of how gorgeous everything turned out. Willow & Grey's attention to detail and stunning work made them invaluable to our special day.

Stephanie Anestis Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
Guilford, CT
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500

Hi, I'm Stephanie! I specialize in backyard weddings and small celebrations. I connect best with couples who might include their dog in the ceremony, make their day uniquely theirs, and don't sweat the small stuff. A jar of wildflowers is as interesting to me as a perfectly crafted orchid bouquet. I love documenting the small moments and details, and I see beauty everywhere on a wedding day. My face always hurts from smiling so much on my drive home! I know how to take charge for posed portraits (and always do some!) but I prefer to capture moments as they happen. I've been a photographer full-time for over fifteen years.

Awarded Best of Zola
It’s hard to imagine our wedding without Stephanie’s calm presence and gorgeous photos. We had a very small wedding (28 people) at a vineyard in Connecticut. Stephanie captured the intimacy of our event and so many wonderful spontaneous moments. She has the uncanny ability to let the wedding flow unhindered, and yet - when the moment comes for that great snapshot - she is in the right place at the right time! For our wedding, some of my favorite photos were taken at dusk, when the kids were ready to let off some steam and went outside to run through the rows of grapevines. Stephanie’s photos embody the freedom and joy of those stolen moments. She is a true artist - and a lovely, warm person. I highly recommend her.

The Downtown 6 Band was absolutely fantastic at our wedding. From the very first interaction, they were professional, knowledgeable, and flexible in accommodating our needs. They were prompt in all their communications and really went above and beyond to make our special day perfect. The band was clearly very experienced, and their performance was incredibly tight and layered, keeping our dance floor packed all night long.

We're married! We have a few kids too! We're creative, quirky, lovers of inspiration. Our favorite photos are the ones that show your true selves, the ones where you are caught off guard. We love the grand and cinematic, with attention to lighting. We'll help pose you, and guide you when it's right and let you be in the moment.

I don’t even know where to begin. To put it simply, Julianna and Noah are the BEST! They literally do it all - from wedding pep talks, jokes to keep you laughing through the stress of the day, managing our rather large family for photos, keeping everything fun and enjoyable, to creating insanely beautiful and unique photos. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with or for more incredible photos to remember our special day. We hope to get the chance to work with them again in the future!

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

When looking back at photographs from my life, it’s the candid images—captured by and with close friends and family—that bring memories and emotions flooding back. The ones that truly stick. That’s how I want your wedding photos to feel for the rest of your life—like a warm, familiar hug. I’ve always believed the most significant moments a wedding photographer can capture are those untouched by their own influence. My intent is to observe and document your day as it unfolds—creating authentic images that stand alone as works of art and, together, tell a story that truly reflects your relationship, your family, and your closest friends.

The granddaughter of two gardeners, I have always felt a connection to the earth through the soil. When someone brings flowers into a room, something changes...an energy, an excitement! I love being able to bring that kind of beauty into peoples lives. I'm a small-town girl who enjoys anything that involves working with my hands from cooking to knitting. I'm a total animal lover (partial to dogs), a die-hard Grey's Anatomy fan, and I take my martinis extra dirty. When I'm not flowering in our studio in Milford, Connecticut, I'm mommin' to three amazing little boys (our dog Pippa and cat, Galaxy).

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding was held at Saltwater Farm Vineyard in June 2024. Kate was such a pleasure to work with and really brought our floral vision to life! I appreciated her free excel planning tools and how responsive she was from our first inquiry. After our first phone call, I realized that she is incredibly easy-going and down to earth, in addition to being well-organized. These are qualities you want in your wedding vendors. I have always loved florals and she helped me craft a vision that stayed within our budget. Our theme was coastal vineyard - I wanted the vibe to be loose & romantic without veering too rustic. She found this balance perfectly! On our wedding day, she arrived early and took care of everything quietly without a hitch! I didn't have to worry about a thing. I can't recommend Fountainhead Floral enough!

WildRoot Moments

  • Photographer

  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Guilford, CT

**PLEASE DO NOT REACH OUT THROUGH ZOLA. Fill out my contact form or dm me on Instagram. I do not check messages here.** Timeless, editorial imagery with a warm, documentary approach. From the grand, luxurious details to the quiet, candid glances you share when no one’s watching, I’m there to preserve it all with intention. If you’re dreaming of wedding photos that feel both refined and deeply personal, I’d love to bring your vision to life.

From the moment we first spoke with Destiny from WildRoot Moments, we were impressed by her thorough, and professional communication style. The quality of their work is phenomenal. Destiny and her team went above and beyond on our wedding day. Pushing the timeline (even stretching it in certain ways lol!) while also quickly directing all those involved to ensure the photos were done smoothly. Even after an unexpected 1.5 hour delay that caused our ceremony and entire timeline for the day to be ruined, the team quickly adjusted, made a new timeline/game plan and created pure MAGIC. As if the delay wasn’t enough trouble, we were then met with a surprise tornado for our OUTDOOR, BACKYARD wedding so again, all plans that we had made for specific moments to be captured had to be changed, (& quickly because that delay lol!). I truly believe any other team at that point would have thrown in the towel & said “well we did our best.” But luckily for us, we had been blessed with a true angel that day. Destiny's professionalism ensured our day was not ruined and was going to be every bit as perfect as we imagined despite the outside circumstances. The photos she captured, beautifully reflect the love between my husband and I, and one would never know the true chaos happening behind the scenes all because of her skillful work. We are eternally grateful to Destiny and the WildRoot Moments team for capturing our special day, one that we had waited 9 years for, in such a heartwarming way.. so if you’ve found yourself reading this, look no further. Destiny & the rest of the WildRoot Moments team are your people!

  • Serves Guilford, CT

I am a Connecticut-based wedding and portrait photographer obsessed with candid moments, real emotion, and the connections between human beings. I strive to capture life as we actually live it: full of beauty and roughness, joy and struggle, extravagance and simplicity. When I photograph you, I’m not thinking about getting likes on social media. I’m thinking about what will make your heart grow three times its size. I’m thinking about what will make you ugly-cry, looking back. I’m thinking about you seeing how awesome and truly loved you are.

Awarded Best of Zola
This summer I had the pleasure of having Cate photograph my backyard micro wedding. She was great to work with and made sure to do meetings with us prior to the wedding to plan the photos we wanted and map out the timing of the day. This way it was an extremely smooth process for family photos prior and after the ceremony. Cate made the wedding photo experience so fun and the results were incredible! I couldn’t have asked for better photos. She got me a sneak peek within 24hrs and by 2-3 months our edited gallery was ready. Overall, our wedding moments wouldn’t be what they are without Cate’s amazing photos. I highly recommend her for your wedding.

We cannot say enough about how incredible Bill Miller’s Castle in Branford, Connecticut, was for our November 8th, 2024 wedding. This family-owned and operated venue exceeded every expectation and delivered a level of care, sincerity, and expertise that left us speechless. From start to finish, Lisa, Victoria, and Christina were nothing short of phenomenal. From our very first meeting to the final moments of our celebration, they treated us like part of their family. Every detail was handled with thoughtfulness and precision—from decor and catering to timeline coordination, vendor recommendations, and bar service. Their willingness to step in and go above and beyond made our day seamless and magical. The venue itself is a true gem. The stunning architecture created a fairytale-like atmosphere that felt otherworldly. Every corner of the castle offered a unique and breathtaking backdrop, making it a dream come true. We cannot thank Lisa, Victoria, and Christina enough for their hard work, dedication, and genuine care for making our wedding day so perfect. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!

Makeup has always been a passion of mine, ever since I was little you could find me doing my mom, little sister, and grandma's hair and makeup. I always wanted a career in the industry but never thought it was attainable. Until I reached a point in my life where I decided to take a leap of faith pack my bags and drive down to Georgia where my older sister (a master MUA who owns her own agency) lives.

Aleks and her team are so professional and easy to work with. Aleks was helpful during and after the makeup trial we had. She was very supportive when my skin was having issues and was able to provide very helpful advice when I reached out to her about it. She asked me questions about my skin care and was able to recommend some things to try to sort out my skin issues before the big day. The day of the wedding, my vision was brought to life from my hair to my makeup! My skin was glowing! And she made sure my bridesmaids loved their looks too! 10/10 would recommend!

Tracy is amazing!!! Our wedding flowers were absolutely stunning, and she made the whole process so easy and fun. She was incredibly attentive and detail-oriented, taking the time to really understand my vision, hopping on multiple calls, and even coming for a site visit. She brought my vision to life in a way that fit flawlessly with our overall design.What really stood out was how thoughtful she was about incorporating family heirlooms and relics, something that was a focal point in our wedding. She found the most beautiful ways to repurpose old vases, barrels, pots, and more into the arrangements, which made everything feel so personal and meaningful. Tracy was such a joy to work with.

As a veteran DJ with 20+ years of experience and 250+ weddings, I create sophisticated, custom music programs based on your tastes. I handle all audio logistics—from timeline planning to day-of run-of-show. Pricing: Evening Celebration ($1,900): Cocktail, Dinner, and Dancing with 2 sound stations and polished MC services. Full Day Experience ($2,500): 3 sound stations plus my battery-powered ceremony system for vows on beaches or gardens—no noisy generators. My resume includes tours in the U.S./Europe/Japan, and playing alongside artists like Drake, Calvin Harris, and LCD Soundsystem. I bring elite professionalism to every event.

As someone with a background in the events and music industry, my standards for production are incredibly high. Edwin (DJ Konsept) completely exceeded them for my wife Emily and my wedding in Montauk, NY. From our first conversation, Edwin was the consummate professional. His communication is exceptional- he is highly responsive, asked detailed questions to understand our specific vision, took careful notes, and was completely open to direction. We gave him a complex, multi-stage run-of-show, and he executed every phase flawlessly. He managed our outdoor ceremony, providing perfectly balanced mics and audio so everyone could hear our vows. He then seamlessly transitioned to setting the mood for our outdoor cocktail hour, and ultimately closed the night out by crushing a high-energy indoor afterparty. He arrived over-prepared with backup equipment and intuitively grasped the distinct musical vibe needed for each portion of the day. Technically, Edwin is a master. His beat-matching, transitions, and ability to read a room's energy are unmatched. He completely avoided the typical "cheesy" wedding tracks, weaving together exactly the right mix to keep our guests engaged. Furthermore, his pricing is incredibly fair and transparent, offering immense value for the high-end talent and peace of mind he brings to the table. If you want an incredibly talented, stress-free professional who operates with style and a cool, collected energy, you need to hire Edwin. He made our wedding day absolutely magical!

The venue had a few hiccups, but overall we had a lovely reception there. The outdoor space was the highlight - truly gorgeous for photos. Communication on coordination was a bit spotty at times, but the maître d', Sergio, was a god send and stepped in to ensure things flowed smoothly. The food was phenomenal, as well! So many of our guests shared it was the best wedding food they’d ever had. We did have both our bridal attendants provided by the venue disappear on us shortly after we arrived, which was inconvenient since we would have paid for our own attendants if we knew that would be the case. While parts of the indoor space is dated, it worked out beautifully with some creative decor. When weighing everything in, the Woodwinds was a spectacular venue!

Lindsay was so amazing to work with! We hired her to do the flowers for our very small wedding, and the flowers were pretty much our only decor. Everything turned out so stunning. I only showed her a couple of inspiration/general ideas, and mostly told her that we just wanted bright seasonal (August) flowers, and to go ahead and do whatever she thought was best. We didn't have a set color palette since we didn't have a wedding party, so she really could choose whatever she wanted. This was the best decision I could have made because everything was even more beautiful than I could have imagined! Trust me, if you're not a picky bride, ask Lindsay to surprise you and you won't be disappointed!

DJ Rubin was praised by not just us but by all the family there for being engaging and being able to blend both old classics with new modern Pop music along with EDM and a little bit of DnB near the end of the night. As a fellow raver, he understood what we wanted and was very thoughtful in his song selection. He was also teaching people how to dance on the dance floor to keep the crowd engaged, participating and enjoying themselves. I wouldn't be surprised if our family wants to hire him and his team in future events because of how unforgettable the reception was for our wedding.

I can’t even put into words how special my wedding was thanks to The Lake House (but I’m going to try lol). I found this location on Zola and when I contacted the owner, Paul, it was like speaking to an old friend even though we had never met before. He is so sincere and thoughtful and has the best tips and tricks for wedding planning. I never hired a wedding planner and I was a little overwhelmed in the beginning of my planning process but Paul was there every step of the way for me. He answered all my emails filled with dumb questions and he advised me in the best way. Carole, my wedding coordinator at the venue, was an absolute gem as well and made things so easy. My wedding was 11/16/24 (the last wedding of their season!) and I still have guests telling me how fantastic everything was. Especially the FOOD. I truly dream about the filet mignon and tiramisu we had about twice a week lol. I can’t say enough amazing things about this venue. I would have my next birthday party here just so I can see Paul and Carole again and eat more of the delicious food lol. The location is GORGEOUS and they truly made my wedding the best night of my entire life.

Lauri was fantastic to work with and we are so grateful we found her. She was a caring a nurturing presence throughout, was very receptive to our requested changes as we planned the ceremony script, and was clearly motivated by doing what would be right for us. She met with me and my fiance about four times during our wedding planning process to get to know us and modify our ceremony plan/script to what spoke most to us most as a couple. She was knowledgable about a variety of cultural traditions and helped us incorporate the Irish Hand Fasting Blessing into our ceremony, providing us with an everlasting, unique memory and memento (the handfasting chord) of our promises to each other. We received several compliments from our wedding guests about Lauri's ease and professionalism while she officiated our wedding. We highly recommend her! - Tess, May 2025 Bride, Bill Miller's Castle
