We had our wedding at The Waterview and truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Kat was so easy to work with and kept everything flowing smoothly throughout the day. The bridal attendants were also incredible and took such great care of us the entire day. We did not have to stress or worry about anything at all. We had our ceremony on the west side, the grounds were so beautiful! The food was delicious and a huge hit! Our guests are still talking about how great everything was! The staff at The Waterview helped us to have such a beautiful and unforgettable wedding day.

I can’t recommend The Candlewood Inn enough! We live 2 hours away but had no second thoughts about booking this venue. Not only is the location absolutely gorgeous, but the staff is incredible to work with. Christian and team were so helpful, responsive, accommodating, and kind. There is only 1 event per day, so you get the full focus of the Candlewood team. We also booked the on location bridal suite for the girls to get ready in the morning of the wedding. The space was perfect, and they provided us with so much food. And speaking of the food, it was incredible! Our guests are still telling us how much they enjoyed the food, service, and overall beauty at Candlewood. We had several of them tell us that the 2 hour drive to our wedding was 100% worth it, which is the highest praise I could give!

Where to begin with Hannah? We knew her through her husband; my husband and I are musicians, and her husband Jimmy is a drummer I’ve known for years. My husband and I met in a wedding band and have played more than 400 weddings together, so we knew exactly what we wanted and that having a coordinator or planner is a nonnegotiable if you want a seamless event where you do not have to stress. Hannah was able to anticipate issues we did not think of, create a perfect timeline, coordinate vendors, troubleshoot problems on the spot, and keep the timeline flowing ON TIME so we could enjoy our wedding. We believe Hannah was some of the best money spent. You will be in great hands with Hannah Newton Events, and we highly recommend her for all of your event planning needs.

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).

Marvin was FANTASTIC and such an awesome DJ for our wedding at the Burr Mansion in Fairfield. He made it very easy for us to communicate what we were looking to do for our order of events (speeches, toasts, dances, etc.) and give him our recommended music. We had *so* many compliments about how wonderful of an emcee he was, as well as there being such a great mix of music for all the generations there that kept everyone on the dance floor the whole night! Our original time set for dinner ran a little late because the kitchen was running behind, but he did a wonderful job keeping things moving; no one had any idea we were waiting on dinner! Marvin even played a handful of songs that were not on our original recommendations list and was very prepared to do so! He ensured such a great flow & we were so so glad to have found him.

We had Christina do our month-of/day-of coordination for our wedding and she truly went ABOVE AND BEYOND!!! It's been a few weeks and I'm still in awe with what she did with my mess of decorations that I threw at her!!! I work in a creative field myself, so I got down and dirty with the D.I.Y. for our big day. I, kid you not, had 300 colorful bud vases, 200 colorful candle holders/votives, and a massive amount of other silly decorations for her to set up for us. I did my best to stay organized for her sanity - but let me tell you - IT WAS A HUGE COMPLICATED JOB and she did it with such ease. I kept apologizing for the amount of work I was giving her, I felt like I was being a little insane with it all LOL... but she was incredibly kind, calm, and reassuring with me through the whole process and kept telling me to stop apologizing LOL!! She is so super knowledgable about everything and has such good instincts about event planning. I added on a 30 minute planning session a few months before she started her coordinating for me - and it was incredibly helpful. Aside from her eye for decorations and impeccable creativity, she was also so so so amazing in coordinating the event in general. I had multiple people from the wedding party ask "wait so that's your coordinator?" and then follow with something along the lines of "she's awesome she just told me where to go and what to do so fast - and I was like YES M'AM" All of the party loved working with her, from my parents to my in-laws. I cannot stress enough how much of an amazing person she is through and through - and if you're lucky enough to get in her books for your wedding, you won't regret it!!

Everyone needs an events coordinator whose responsibility is to make sure you--and everyone at the center of the celebration--enjoy the event. Merry by Mia will be in your corner and take away all logistical stress.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Merry by Mia was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We chose Merry by Mia as our Day-of Coordinator because of their deep familiarity with our venue, Audrey’s Farmhouse, and from the moment we met Mia, we felt at ease. She and Lindsey were not only incredibly professional, but also warm, approachable, and endlessly helpful. We had so many questions and ideas throughout the planning process, and they always had thoughtful answers or were quick to help troubleshoot. Mia made herself available right from the start, and that constant support made all the difference. On our wedding day, everything ran flawlessly thanks to Lindsey's on-site management, hard work and attention to detail. Even with my own background in event planning, I knew I was in the best hands. Lindsey and Mia coordinated seamlessly with our vendors and made sure every detail aligned with our vision. By the end of the process, they didn’t feel like vendors—they felt like friends. If you’re on the fence about hiring a Day-of Coordinator, trust me: it’s worth it. There are so many moving parts, and having someone who truly understands the ins and outs is invaluable. I feel so lucky to have had them by our side.

First of all - the end product was just beautiful. Everything from the bridal bouquet to the ceremony flowers to the table styling was exquisite and super unique. Shannon did a great job incorporating my favorite color (yellow) and a whimsical, organic wildness into the design exactly as I had hoped. From our first meeting to the written proposal, Shannon interpreted my thoughts and ideas exactly. I was so impressed that she took my ramblings and half ideas and pulled them together into what I was seeing in my head. Shannon’s GORGEOUS color palette informed the entire wedding design and gave me a jumping off point for invitations, bridesmaid dresses, other decor, etc. Unfortunately, the process of working with Shannon was a bit challenging. She struggled with nailing down details: incorrect number of tables, inconsistent accounting of candles/bud vases, etc. It took a number of incorrect proposal drafts until we got it right - just weeks before the wedding. We were honestly quite disappointed by Shannon’s flexibility and communication. She self-describes as being highly collaborative, but that was not our experience. First, as beer nerds, having hops in the design was super important to us, and while she flagged early on it could be an issue to source real ones, we discussed using fake. While we all agreed that she shouldn’t use fake hops if they looked bad, we were sad to see on the day of that they didn’t make it into the design. It would have been nice to have heard a heads up from her that she didn’t plan to use them - even if it was just a brief mention on the day-of. Second, when our cake plans fell through at the last minute, we asked Shannon if she could possibly supply a few flowers for our small 6” cutting cake. She told us she would try, but later we heard from the bakery that she had given them a flat no. She never communicated her decision to us. Thankfully, the bakery pulled something together for us (shout out to Zest Pastry!). Third, the Monday before the wedding, Shannon sent an alarming email with the subject line “Head Advisory, Oh No!”, asking us what our plan was. Getting any email titled “Oh No” isn’t fun to receive less than a week before your wedding. Further, as a trusted wedding vendor, we would hope that she would have plans for weather or unexpected events rather than looking to us during a very stressful period. Lastly, (and most disappointingly) despite having a run of day schedule, Shannon was nowhere to be found when it was time to put on boutonnieres and corsages. Our photographers and party thankfully jumped in to help to avoid major delays to portraits (shout out to Katie Slater!). Fundamentally, the product Shannon provided was beyond compare - everything was beautiful. That said, the communication, coordination, and organization were lacking from our experience.

To capture it all in a way that feels natural, cinematic, and timeless. But more than just taking photos, I’m here to guide you through the day, making sure you feel comfortable, confident, and fully present in every moment. My style?

I had the honor of having Vinny capture one of the most important moments of my life, my proposal to my fiancée. I chose him because I knew he would be the perfect person for such a special occasion, and he exceeded every expectation. On a snowy day, during a storm, Vinny never hesitated for a second. Despite the freezing cold, he dedicated hours with us in the park, making sure every detail was captured beautifully. The photos turned out extraordinary, truly beyond what we could have imagined. What impressed me the most was his care and dedication. My fiancée and I are not used to posing for photos, but Vinny guided us patiently and naturally through every step, making us feel comfortable and confident. His attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism transformed that day into timeless memories. I am deeply grateful for what he did for us and recommend his services without hesitation. Vinny is an outstanding professional who pours his heart into his work, and the results speak for themselves.

We booked George to capture our wedding day at an outdoor venue in northern MA. As a photographer myself I have high standards when it comes to photos, so I was very selective when making my choice. But I'm happy to report that we made a great choice with George as his work is top notch. Before the wedding we had 2 phone calls to plan out the many scenes we'd want him to capture. We also shared some light guidance on editing style, which he happily incorporated. On the day of the wedding George arrived promptly (early even, which was good) despite the fact he was driving many hours from CT. George did a great job making people feel comfortable in front of the camera. He seemed very experienced as throughout the day he seamlessly transitioned from the foreground to the background as needed. He was never in the way, but always nearby and ready to jump in and capture whatever was happening. He also captured a variety of types of shots, from the wide, establishing shots to the perfectly composed closeups of intimate moments - with lots of extra detail shots and plenty of candids too. For the ceremony in particular, he displayed his great eye and quick reaction time to document every moment and every angle, including crowd reactions. He came well prepared too with 2 Sony mirrorless cameras and a large off-camera flash to ensure even lighting. From our 8-hour shoot he provided over 1,400 fully edited photos (each 61MP) via a Google Drive download link. We were extremely please with the quality and speed of our portfolio (fully delivered within 2 weeks). On top of that, George happily provided me with the full edited portfolio in TIFF file format, per my request. The file sizes are much larger so I gave him a 512GB USB drive which he loaded and shipped back to me. I really can't say enough good things about George. So just book him now and I know you'll be pleased with the results!

I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in New York and Connecticut. I capture moments that feel alive—honest, emotional, and deeply meaningful. While I love beautifully decorated weddings, I’m equally passionate about photographing celebrations that are simple, imperfect, and real.

I’m especially drawn to noticing the most touching moments in any setting—your emotions, your interactions, and the quiet love you share.

If you’re wondering whether a photo booth is worth it—stop wondering and book this one. It was pure joy from start to finish. The setup blended beautifully with our rustic-whimsical wedding vibe, and the props? Hilarious, high-quality, and somehow perfect for every guest. But the real stars were the attendants. They weren’t just running a booth—they were part of the celebration. Warm, upbeat, and totally in sync with the energy of the wedding, they kept the line moving, the smiles wide, and the vibe lighthearted. Guests are still texting us about their photo strips, (that were high quality prints I must add) and we now have a scrapbook full of goofy grins, heartfelt moments, that they gave us night of the wedding. If you’re planning an event and want to add a dash of magic, a splash of humor, and a whole lot of memories—this photo booth team delivers. Ten out of ten, would rent again.

George was a fantastic photographer. We are extremely happy with our photos. Our wedding day didn't feel like one long photo shoot, and we have many beautiful photos to commemorate a very special day. Thanks, George!

Hi, I’m Melanie! I’ve loved photography for as long as I can remember. I have a background in photojournalism with years working in news and creative outlets. That background is at the heart of how I photograph weddings. I’m drawn to real moments, honest emotion, and the story that naturally unfolds when you’re fully present with the people you love. Nothing energizes me more than capturing your wedding day as it truly feels. On your wedding day, I’m not just there to take photos—I’m there to bring your vision to life, hype you up, and tell your story in a way that feels authentic, meaningful, and so you!

Melanie is an incredible photographer and person. She was so professional and helpful through every step of the way. She is kind, very organized, and quick to answer any questions we had. She went above and beyond to make us feel like the most important people in the room. Melanie brought along an amazing team who helped every detail run smoothly and who made us feel like royalty throughout the day. Melanie is the best in all aspects and I truly cannot reccommend her enough!
