Pretty Nerdy Photography was an amazing photographer for our wedding. Their communication was effective, friendly, organized, and open throughout the entire planning process. The quality and professionalism of their work is excellent - they captured high-quality photos that we will treasure.

After one visit with Claudio at the Rotch Jones Duff House, my husband and I knew immediately that was the perfect spot for us to host our wedding. The Rose Garden was a stunning backdrop for our ceremony and the grounds provided plenty of space for our guests to eat, dance and celebrate. Claudio was so easy to work with, he was proactive in letting us know what he needed from us and provided so many tips and recommendations all throughout the planning process. The venue provided much of what we needed for the day, eliminating the need for excess rentals and even coming through a few times in a pinch with details we had accidentally overlooked. They were flexible in so many ways, accommodating all of our vendors and allowing for adjustments as we altered our guest list and changed our vision. Claudio answered every question, was quick to respond and provided invaluable insight for novice planners like us. On the day of the wedding, he was the silent star of the show; we had a day-of coordinator who was helpful and definitely necessary but it was Claudio who knew how to keep everything running exactly to plan and made the day feel completely seamless so I could focus on enjoying my time as a bride instead of stressing about the details of the day. Even our guests and bridal party loved him! From start to finish, working with the Rotch Jones Duff House was easily the best decision we made in planning our wedding. I can’t overstate how well worth the cost it was and how stress-free our experience with them has been. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the rose garden was and the stunning photos we took all over the grounds will forever speak for themselves.

Weddings are performance. You practice, you prepare, you dress up, and you tell a story. Your love story. I was a Musical Theatre major, and this makes me the perfect conduit to tell your love story in a cohesive and creative way. The way it was meant to be told. I started working in a portrait studio in 2008, and shot my first wedding in 2009. It was pretty obvious I was meant to capture these events and help translate them into art. I haven't stopped since. I am truly honored to be able to shape these memories for my couples, and consider it the most important part of my job.

Colleen was an incredible help planning our day from start to finish. She is fun and bubbly while also being organized and IN CHARGE on wedding day. We had to change locations for formal portraits as cocktail hour began, and she had us moved and back into the flow of things in minutes. What an incredible talent she is!

Your wedding is not a performance. It's the way you look at each other when no one's watching. Your hand finding theirs without thinking. My couples care more about what’s real than what looks good on a grid. They want gorgeous photos but also want them to mean something. The couples I work with have depth. Their stories have weight. They want someone behind the lens who sees them. Not just how they look, but who they are. Presence over performance. That's the closest I can get to naming it.

Danielle was amazing to work with for our wedding and engagement shoot! From the beginning, Danielle was easy to communicate with throughout the planning process. It was clear she truly cares about the work she does and ensuring her clients have a wonderful experience. On the day of our wedding, Danielle went above and beyond to make our day special and was so helpful! Even after just seeing our sneak peeks (which we got the morning after wedding day!), the photos exceeded our expectations and captured the special moments of our day beautifully! We highly recommend Danielle Robidoux Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.

I work personally with each of my couples to make their weddings amazing, and I'm fortunate that I get to do this each and every weekend.

Brendan is the absolute best!!! His communication was quick and efficient when we first started the process of looking for a DJ. We looked no further once Brendan gave us his details. Our guests told us that they absolutely “loved our DJ” and we couldn’t agree more!! My main wish was to have everyone on the dance floor all night and thanks to Brendan’s playlist, our guests were dancing all night long. My dad worked with Brendan to come up with a mashup of songs that meant a lot to us from my childhood for the father/bride dance. The mashup had smooth transitions and it was very specially made. Brendan was conscious of our song requests and made our vision come to life from walkout songs to parent dances, group dances, cake cutting song, to final song of the night. The phone app that Brendan uses to organize your night is easy to use and allows you to personalize your night to absolute perfection as you prepare for the day. We selected the photo-booth package as well and the pictures came out phenomenal. The photos were of the highest quality and it is something we’ll have forever to cherish the night and our guests. If you’re looking for a DJ- look no further than B-Sharp Entertainment. Thank you Brendan!!

The DJ sets the vibe for the entire night, and wow — Alex absolutely crushed it. We've been to a lot of weddings, and it’s rare to see a dance floor packed from start to finish, but he had ours full the entire night. Every song choice, every transition, every moment flowed perfectly — from the high-energy entrance all the way through to the very last song. Alex has this incredible ability to read the room and keep the energy exactly where it should be. He made the night seamless, fun, and truly unforgettable. As a bride, I felt like I had a lot of specific requests regarding timing of certain songs for the processional, recessional, first dances, etc. He exceeded my dreams. From ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner and reception, it was truly immaculate. Our family and friends have not stopped raving about him and basically the unreal journey he took us all on through music. I also surprised my husband with a saxophonist who was completely unrelated to Alex & Unique Sounds, but they were an INSANE dynamic duo. They worked together SO WELL, which again speaks to Alex's talent. I was SO happy to have him in my corner all night - aside from the incredible music, he is so fun and great to be around. If you’re looking for a DJ, seriously, stop looking — Alex is the one. Thank you, Alex, for giving us a night we’ll never forget and keeping the party going from start to finish!

From our initial facetime with Kelsey, to our engagement shoot, to our wedding day, she was an absolute pleasure to work with. I had a phone call with Kelsey 1 week before the wedding just so she could triple check we were all on the same page about wedding day. She created a tailored day of schedule for us which did not feel rushed. We always felt heard by Kelsey about how we envisioned the day. She gave us space but was still able to capture magical moments. She had such a calming presence during what can be a chaotic day and made us feel confident and our best during our portraits. Kelsey's second photographer Elyse who was working with her was also wonderful. She has a romantic, documentary style which appears effortless but still gives instruction on how to pose during portraits. She also got our sneak peaks to us in record time and was able to provide a generous amount of sneak peak photos just 2 days after our wedding. She estimated our full wedding gallery would take 8-10 weeks but we were pleasantly surprised when our wedding gallery arrived within 7 weeks and on my birthday! What a pleasant surprise and the wedding gallery was tailored, comprehensive and not overwhelming to go through. Our favorites ended up being from the sneak peaks speaking to how well Kelsey was able to comb through all of the photos and pick the best ones. We can't recommend Kelsey enough if you want a timeless, romantic documentary style photographer.

I know you want to be a breathtaking bride with an unforgettable wedding. In order to do that you need gorgeous floral arrangements. The problem is, creating a cohesive vision for your wedding flowers on your own can be challenging. This can leave you feeling overwhelmed, and daunted by the process. I believe flowers are the silent soundtrack of your wedding, setting the mood and ambiance like nothing else can. That’s why I dedicate my 25 years of experience to help brides create personalized arrangements that ensure their wedding is a unique masterpiece.

We worked with Jordan from Flowers by the Station for our wedding florals. She was amazing to work with - her knowledge and kindness made the whole process so easy and fun. She truly went above and beyond to make sure that are wedding florals were everything we dreamed of and more - she even foraged for winter greenery when the order she placed didn't come in on time. So many guests commented that our florals were beautiful and asked who we worked with. On top of this, Jordan was so conscious of our budget and really went out of her way to make sure that we got everything that we wanted (and more) for the amount that we were able to spend. We would highly recommend working with Flowers by the Station!

Awarded Best of Zola
The Lakehouse is straight out of an interior design magazine and the waterfront property is unbeatable. Staff are friendly, professional, and accommodating. They have this business down. Our event producer, Victoria, was so helpful throughout the entire process, always timely with her replies to our various questions that came up along the way. Sapphire Event Group provides the service of a bridal attendant the day of the wedding and mine, Becky, was a huge help relieving stress and keeping me looking and feeling my best all night!
