Willow & Grey 
Rating: 5.0 (19 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.

“I can't say enough good things about Renee and the incredible work she did for our wedding. From the moment I first met her, it was clear she had an amazing gift. She took my scattered ideas and turned them into a breathtaking vision. The arrangements and installations she created were nothing short of magical—each piece was carefully crafted, with stunning attention to detail. I couldn't believe how she brought together all the elements I envisioned, while also adding her own artistic touches that made everything even more beautiful than I imagined. Renee truly brought our wedding to life with her flowers, and I’m so grateful for her talent and dedication. If you want someone who can turn your floral dreams into reality, Renee is the one to go to!”

I photograph fashion-forward couples who believe every detail should have meaning. If you're planning a wedding that's intentional, design-driven, and centered on genuine connection, I'm here to document it in a way that feels both beautifully curated and completely authentic.

“I absolutely love working with Jenna! From the first moment I worked with her, I felt like I was working with an old friend. Jenna is warm, kind, funny (literally has me crying laughing sometimes), and so easy to be around. She is a true joy to be around and I feel incredibly lucky to have her with me anytime we work together. Her photographs are stunning and she has perfect timing and understanding of light and composition. She really is a package deal of awesome3”

Guilford, CT
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $8,500

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.

“From the first meeting with Tyler, we knew that we were beginning not only a working relationship, but also a friendship with one of the kindest and coolest. When my husband and I spoke about booking a wedding photographer, our priorities were someone who made us feel comfortable, someone who shot with film, someone who didn’t force us into specific poses, and someone who captured the day’s moments naturally. We didn’t want to spend our wedding day posing for pictures. Tyler did all of that for us and more. He was there to capture everything from the first bite of breakfast to the final dance. So many of our family and friends have spoken to his kindness towards them throughout our wedding day. There’s so much good we could say about Tyler. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. At the end of it, the magnificent album we received seemed like a small perk to the friend we made.”

Stephanie Anestis Photography

  • 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.”

I am Becca Byrd, owner and founder of Love Byrd events. I started Love Byrd after 10+ years of personal and professional event planning. I have spent the last decade in New Haven working as an event planner for a large university as well as serving on governing boards of a variety of local non-profits. I have worked on conferences, fundraisers, concerts, parties, bar/bat mitzvahs, corporate meetings, weddings and much more. I have loved crafting a vision while simultaneously working on all of the tiny details to make that happen.

“For our 2019 Wedding at The Lace Factory in Deep River, Connecticut, working with Love Byrd Events was a collaborative and thoughtful experience from start to finish. As a couple planning a wedding across the country, we couldn't be at the venue throughout the planning process. Love Byrd Events stepped in, meeting with our venue ahead of time, confidently coordinating the logistics of our wedding, managing our guest list, and handling any unexpected issues that arose. We were impressed by their reliable and creative approach, as well as their meticulous attention to detail. Becca's professionalism and expertise truly contributed to making our wedding day special and stress-free. We are so grateful for their hard work and highly recommend their services to any couples planning their special day, especially those coordinating from afar.”

“DJ Rubin and David W. were both amazing! David was very accommodating and has a vision in capturing what he wants. The package was reasonable and it was beyond everything we expected and more. 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.

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
“When I first saw my wedding bouquet I was speechless! It was nothing like any other bouquet I had seen in the absolute best way! The flowers were gorgeous, vibrant, and truly unique, just like I wanted! Kate has such a keen ability to take inspiration photos, run with them, and create something incredibly gorgeous and in line with my vision. The florals she designed brought a lovely pop of color to our reception and pulled the natural look from the landscape into the space exactly like I envisioned. From little details like "snap-bracelet" corsages for the moms to a color-coordinating ribbon on the boutonnieres, Kate totally knocked it out of the park!”

  • 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
“My husband I decided to elope, planning the whole event in a week. It was important to me to get great photos to share with the friends and family who wouldn't be with us on the day. As soon as I saw Cate Barry's portfolio, especially with the candid photos, I knew that she was the right person to capture the true spirit of the day. Luckily, she was able to squeeze us into her calendar, and our preliminary meetings with Cate were fantastic: she made sure she understood our priorities—super open to who we are and what we care about—and she acted as friend, therapist, and wedding expert in a very frantic time. She even recommended a fantastic officiant who was exactly our speed. On the day, the three of us met up for some outdoor photos before the ceremony, and while I was afraid my husband and I might be awkward or stiff, Cate put us at ease immediately, and we were smiling with natural poses in no time. Then at the venue, Cate both contributed to and captured the joyful, relaxed atmosphere of the day.  We got our photos in record time, and even when we first flicked through the images on my phone over pizza, we could immediately tell Cate had memorialized the magic of the day, from happy tears to spontaneous jumping up and down with our witnesses. It means a lot to have wonderful pictures to share with our loved ones, and we would work with Cate again in a heartbeat.”

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!”

“Emma at First Blush Floral & Planning was an absolute treasure to work with, and we couldn't recommend her more. As a wedding couple who had to pivot unexpectedly from original vendor and venue plans, the minute I got on a call with Emma, I knew she would be perfect in helping our vision come to life. Cool, calm, collected, organized and knowledgeable, she listened to what we wanted and made it come to life. We felt so reassured that we also added Fist Blush's planning services on to our floral package. It was such peace of mind in those final weeks (and the big day) to know she was behind the scenes of it all. Forever grateful! The pouring rain and day-of chaos stood no chance.”

“Tracey came highly recommended by our wedding planner and for a good reason. My husband and I knew that we wanted flowers that were colorful and really popped. We were able to show Tracey our inspo photos and through that she curated a unique set of florals for our special day. The amount of compliments we received on our florals was insane. Tracey is also such a joy and pleasure to work with. If you’re looking for an incredible and passionate florist than Tracey is your girl!”

“From the moment my (now) husband and I met Raquel, we knew she was the right person to help us make our dream wedding happen. We selected her "partial planning" package and I cannot begin to explain how grateful we are that we did! She is extremely responsive (near instant text replies!! I could never!), open minded and willing to brainstorm, but also an important (yet patient) force in guiding important decision making and keep everyone on task / deadline. Best of all? Raquel is such a wonderful human being, that over the course of the year we became genuine friends. She CARES, and I think that's one of the most incredible things about her (aside from the very obvious talent she has for planning and coordinating weddings).”

“Lindsay is a magician! She delivered the most stunning, colorful, vibrant bouquets and boutonnières to our venue the morning of our wedding. She did such a fantastic job nailing our exact vision! We did all our decor florals and Linsday was so helpful in collaborating with us to make sure everything matched beautifully! The stunning colors really made our special day pop. I can’t recommend Wild Grown enough thank you Lindsay!”

I’m Rob Skinner, a wedding photographer documenting couples in love throughout Connecticut, New England, and beyond. If you’re looking for a photography experience that is easy and stress-free, then I’m excited to join you on this journey. I’ll record your first day of marriage beautifully with natural prompts and give you timeless wedding photos that will bring you joy for a lifetime. I keep things quick and easy while also catching the essence of you, making your time with me effortless and enjoyable.

“Rob Skinner Photography was an ideal choice for our elopement at city hall. From the very beginning, Rob’s communication was prompt, clear, and reassuring, making the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. On the day itself, he arrived early and guided us in capturing natural, genuine moments. He helped us pose and move in ways that felt relaxed and authentic. The final photos are stunning, with a level of detail my husband and I truly value. Beyond the reasonable pricing for a one-hour elopement, what stood out most was how comfortable he made us feel throughout the entire experience. In just one hour, he captured over 1,000 photos, ensuring no special moment was missed. We’re so happy we chose Rob Skinner Photography and would highly recommend him to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience.”

“We got married here and it could have not been a better day. It was truly the best day ever. Everything was so seamless, no stress whatsoever. Suzie and Emily were the dream team! The entire staff at Great River was amazing, so helpful, and kind. The food was delicious. All of our guests loved the venue. The French fry bar at the end of the night was a hit! From the first meeting, to the day after picking up our wedding supplies, everything was so easy and seamless. The staff at Great River decorated and set everything up with no questions asked on our side! We had complete faith that they would set everything up perfectly and they did. The food tasting was also amazing! It was so fun meeting with Chef Matt. We even did the custom chocolates for our favor and they were the perfect touch. Thank you to everyone at Great River for making our special day, that much more special. It was the most perfect day.”
