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”

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.”

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!!!”

“From the very first time we spoke with Tom, we had a feeling we had found our DJ. He was always honest with us, incredibly responsive, and genuinely took the time to get to know us and what we wanted our wedding to feel like. One of our favorite examples of this was when we sent him a sample of our first dance song and he had it back to us within minutes- which just about sums it up. Reliable, fun to work with, and someone we always felt like we could count on. On our wedding day, Tom honestly felt less like a vendor and more like a friend who was there celebrating with us. He played everything we asked for, but also knew exactly when to switch things up and keep the dance floor going. We had so many people come up to us afterward saying how much they loved the music and that Tom was one of the best DJs they had ever heard at a wedding. We truly cannot thank Tom enough for being such a huge part of our wedding day. The dance floor was packed, everyone had an absolute blast, and somehow the night still went by way too fast. We would have happily danced for hours longer. We will forever be grateful for the role Tom played in our wedding - there is truly no one better.”

I heard of Mobile Mixology through a friend and decided that if I could eliminate one of the many event tasks from my mind, I’d be a fool not to! Enya did just that for me. I told her what the theme of our party was, what sort of drinks we like, and approximate headcount, and she said I’ll take it from here. Not only did I no longer have to worry about planning out drinks, she elevated the level of my party! She made amazing cocktails and supplied the guys with all the beer they could drink. She had a few really nice wine options as well. I did the math out and this was a really economical choice for what we received. She was so friendly and many guests commented to me that this was “so cool” to have. I didn’t have to clean anything up either! Enya is on speed dial for my next party.”

“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.

“We could not recommend Emily's Catering Group more! Our wedding was August 25, 2018 at South Farms in Morris, CT. People say the food at your wedding is one of the most important and memorial parts of your day and it's true! People are still raving about the food they had at our wedding till this day and the fantastic service by the ECG's team! From the very first point of contact Rick and his team were extremely attentive. Cheryl would answer our emails within 24 hours (which for a bride planning a wedding is SO impressive!) The tasting we had was intimate and Rick walked us through the process of what our guests experience would be like the day of our wedding. The passed hors d'oeuvres were never ending during cocktail hour-- our guests we're SO impressed and FULL of delicious tasting food they were wondering how they would be able to eat during dinner. Rick and his team brought my charcuterie table dreams come to life! There was specific staff members from the ECG's team that were in charge of basically following us around during our event to make sure we had all the food we ever wanted and a drink was always full in our hands. It was so refreshing to feel so well taken care of on our special day. We are so happy we chose Emily's Catering Group for our wedding day and we continue to use them to cater all of our events. They are the best of the best!”

“I had my trial in July for my October wedding, and I’ll admit I was a little nervous since I never wear makeup and didn’t know what to expect. I told Pam I didn’t want really heavy makeup up and she listened. The makeup looked beautiful, but I was a bit concerned about how long it would last since I couldn’t keep it on for long after the trial. My curls also weren’t as tight as I’d hoped, and they fell flat after a few hours, so I worried they might not hold up on my wedding day. I shared my concerns with Pam and Brenna—especially about my hair, since it never holds curls—and they truly listened. On the day of the wedding, they absolutely nailed it. They were also so fun to work with. My makeup and hair both lasted all night long, and my hair was exactly what I had envisioned. It couldn’t have been more perfect! I don’t have professional photos yet but these are some friends took.”

“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!”
