Awarded Best of Zola
We used Ben to video our December 30 wedding. The choice to use a Videographer was last minute on our part, but Ben made himself available, was very easy to work with, and every meeting with him was stress-free. Ben made communicating prior to the wedding as easy as possible, always making himself available and making sure he met our needs. As far as the wedding day, he made sure my husband and I got what we wanted, and made sure all of our special moments were captured for us to look back on. He was flexible during the wedding day as far as when he was working, and when he was taking a break to make sure that we had all the footage we would need. We received the finish product just about three weeks after the wedding, and we couldn’t be happier! Overall, I would highly recommend Ben if you are in need of Videographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding photographer, I work with a wide range of planners, but Tanya from Bookmarked Weddings truly stands out. Our most recent wedding together was a 2025 New Year’s Eve wedding, and it was clear from the start that this wasn’t just another event—it was a fully immersive experience, thanks in large part to Tanya’s vision and execution. The day was filled with intricate details: a balldrop at midnight filled with bubbles, an elegant champagne tower, and a timeline packed with special moments and intentional design. Tanya handled it all with a calm, confident presence and exceptional attention to detail. She built a full-day timeline that was both comprehensive AND realistic—which meant everything ran smoothly, and I was able to capture the day naturally without unnecessary stress or delays. Tanya’s coordination behind the scenes allowed the couple to stay present and enjoy every moment while ensuring that vendors like myself had exactly what we needed to do our jobs well. Her thoughtful approach and clear communication made a huge difference throughout the day. The energy of a New Year’s Eve wedding is already electric, but Tanya elevated it with a sense of elegance, organization, and creativity that made the whole celebration feel effortless and magical. If you're looking for a planner who can manage complex, high-energy events with grace, precision, and style, Tanya from Bookmarked Weddings is it. Every time I know we are going to work together, I fist pump the air in celebration because it will be FLAWLESS! — Cait Fletcher Cait Fletcher Photography

We booked Wild Wild Zest for a mocktail bar at my wedding in September of 2025 in Fairhaven, MA. They were AMAZING!! The drinks were incredible, people raved about them throughout the reception. I personally loved the customization process and the ability to make a bride's drink and the groom's drink that was showcased at the bar. Their syrups are mostly all homemade and SO delicious!

Hi Gorgeous! First and foremost, congratulations on your engagement and thank you for considering us for your wedding day! Glam by Shadelin is a bridal hair and makeup service based out of Connecticut, USA, servicing the New England area and beyond. (ps. we LOVE destination weddings!)

Working with GLAM by Shadelin as a bridesmaid was such a great experience from start to finish. Shadelin and Elif are incredibly down to earth and made us feel comfortable and answered all of our questions without any hassle. They also were so easy to work with and really accommodating. They were able to do an early start time of 5am to get us ready by 8am. We were so happy they were available to take us on since it was a last minute request by wedding standard time. Their skill really showed through; my hair and makeup stayed flawless throughout the entire day, which is no small feat for a desi-wedding. I actually preferred my glam done by Shadelin and Elif compared to what I'd done for my own wedding a couple years ago. If you're looking for beauty professionals who genuinely know their craft and treat you like you matter, I'd absolutely recommend GLAM by Shadelin.

On the day of the wedding, she worked efficiently and made sure everyone’s hair looked beautiful — we got so many compliments! Katee was equally lovely to work with.

Imagine this: it's your wedding day. You're somehow feeling both insanely excited and at peace. You made your day into a little universe that represents you and your partner. The details are super personal, the atmosphere feels like home, and you can't wait to see it full of your favorite people. You’re thinking about being a total goofball with your love, the enthusiastic conversations, your friends losing their minds during the first kiss. You know that song that you and your partner sing in the car? When it comes on, you'll grab their hand and run to the dance floor. And in 50 years, you'll see those exactly moments as they were

I could not have asked for a better person to capture my wedding! On our wedding day, it poured rain and I was absolutely devastated that the outdoor wedding I had been dreaming of was not happening. As I was sitting there faced with that reality, about to ruin my makeup with tears, Andrea swooped in like a superhero and genuinely made me feel like the rain was a good thing. She was the only voice of reason that made me feel like everything was still perfect. She ran around in the rain with us all day capturing the most gorgeous photos and I didn’t feel like I missed out at all. She was prepared with clear umbrellas and we actually had fun! She is also just so talented, the pictures and the saturation are just absolutely gorgeous, and not only that but she also has an absolute talent for capturing joy and movement. All my vendors have chosen to use her photos from my wedding on their websites, seriously just hire her!!!

Gary and Chris aka DJ DopeGod are my favorite vendor duo ever and are always my first choice when my couples need a DJ. And while music is their specialty, Gary's experience as a radio VJ makes him a great wedding MC.

Hi! My name is Matt and I am the owner and head DJ of Style Points DJs. I began DJing in 2016 with my friend Jerry after discovering a mutual love for electronic dance music from the likes of Zedd, Martin Garrix, and Hardwell. I've found an overwhelming passion in DJing and event coordinating, so much so that I've worked tirelessly to do it full-time since 2021. I believe that the DJ is the cornerstone of wedding vendors and I do everything in my power to make sure that I can make the vision of your wedding into a reality.

Awarded Best of Zola
DJ Style Points was incredible to work with and played a huge role in making our wedding night a massive success. Our guest list spanned multiple generations, so we really needed someone who knew how to read the room and keep everyone engaged. Matt understood this perfectly—he had the dance floor packed all night and blended the music seamlessly. Any concerns we had regarding song lengths or flow, he was already ahead of it. He uses a custom planning form that was incredibly thorough, which made it so easy for us to help structure our timeline and music preferences. It also didn't go unnoticed by our other vendors; they were all very complimentary of how well he managed the energy throughout the night. If you want a DJ who is organized, professional, and a true master at keeping the party going, look no further!

She is a top notch professional, incredibly sweet, thoughtful and went above and beyond to make our day magical. Everyone kept telling me how wonderful Bianca and Dan were and how beautiful the bar trailer was. Not only was the trailer gorgeous at the venue, she went as far as to have custom napkins and drink stirrers made for us. It was such a small, sweet surprise and as the bride- there weren’t many surprises for me as I was involved in all the planning so that little touch meant so much.

Shukhrat and his wife Rachel just shot our June 8th wedding and we couldn't be happier. They were amazing to work with and the photos are phenomenal! About the pictures: Shukhrat is versatile and very skilled. When we took our engagement photos he provided us with various styles of photos and editing, and then used our feedback to guide the photos he took at our wedding. He is also flexible. We got married in a city park and there were wayyyy more people in the park than we were expecting at 6:00pm at night. Without missing any of the candid details or true-to-life colors that we wanted, Shukhrat was able to frame the photos and/or alter the lighting so that the park goers were barely visible in the background. Both Shukhrat and Rachel are also very skilled at giving direction when needed, but letting you do your own thing the rest of the time. Neither my husband nor I have a lot of experience in front of a camera—they gave us enough direction to feel confident, without making us feel stifled or overly posed. We wanted photos that felt organic and genuine, and they were really able to capture that. Working with Shukhrat and Rachel: The two of them were a dream to work with. Incredibly professional--very communicative, punctual, quick turnaround time on photos. And they are also just lovely people. You spend so much time on your wedding day with your photographers, it's really important to feel comfortable with them, and we certainly did. They brought both a fun, but calming energy, easing our pre-wedding jitters before the ceremony, and leaning into the excitement as the night went on. Although we hardly know them, they felt like friends. We are so glad we booked Shukhrat for our wedding!

Ariana and her team were AMAZING to work with! We loved how easy the process was and how fun it was to work with her to select our music. Our guests were floored by their talent as they played for our ceremony and cocktail hour. As we were heading to our reception, they played one last song for just the two of us, which made it extra special! We can't thank Ariana and her team enough for making our day so beautiful!
