Modern Strings trio played at my wedding on June 28, 2024 - they were absolutely magnificent!! From the second I booked my venue, I knew the very first vendor I had to book was Modern Strings. I had followed Modern Strings for some time and knew it was the most important vendor for me to have! Modern Strings played for my ceremony as well as cocktail hour. They set the stage for an emotional, elegant ceremony; then followed by a beautiful upbeat cocktail hour. Our guests were floored by the modern music played on string instruments. Our wedding was everything we could have ever dreamed of and we have Modern Strings to thank for being such a special part of our day! P.S. Peep the emotion on my face walking down the aisle; the music really let us feel so in the moment of an incredibly special celebration!

Elegant Production Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
New Haven, CT
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,200

Hi, I’m Jonathan Henderson, owner of Elegant Production Photography. I’m passionate about capturing real, meaningful moments that tell your story. Whether it’s your wedding day or a special event, I aim to make you feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. I offer professionally edited images, flexible pricing, and a commitment to great communication. No matter your budget, I work hard to deliver beautiful photos you’ll love and memories you’ll cherish.

Just like the title says, Jonathan and his team were nothing short of amazing! From our first meeting, I could tell that he knew what he was doing and he took it seriously. That took a lot of pressure off my husband and I. He helped us create an inspo board for poses and suggested small changes in our wedding day timeline to make things go smoother. When I tell you, his suggestions worked to a T! - I think it's because he's been around so many weddings and has seen things go well and go wrong. My wedding planner raved about him all day and that says a lot! He and his assistant arrived early, scoped out the venue/grounds and was very polite while doing their due diligence all day. I highly recommend Jonathan and Elegant Production Photography. If you're on the fence about him, let this be your sign: Hire him! You won't be disappointed.

Isabelle is so incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and patient; a true artist with their flowers :') I emailed Isabelle to ask about DIY floral arrangements for our June 2025 wedding. We had such a fun time thinking up ways to engage my partner and I's family and friends, and Isabelle came up with the idea for a flower arranging party in their beautiful shop. The day before our wedding, we had our family try their hand at floral design. They had so many questions (ie, "Am I doing this right?" "What kind of flower is THIS?!"), and Isabelle greeted them all with understanding and care. AND there was handmade herbal tea and strong air conditioning on a 95-degree day. It was an experience I will never forget; thank you, Isabelle & the folks who make Fairy Meadow Flowers so special! :') Photo credit: Ken Yotsukura (& family/friends)

We cannot say enough about how much we loved Covergirl. They took so much time to sit with us and listen to our requests before the wedding and boy did they deliver. They played everything we asked for. They dressed up for our Super Mario theme and even learned new music for it. We had guests say they were the best wedding band they’ve ever heard. Absolutely incredible.

Pizza was delicious, salad was fresh, and the gelato was such a treat (I particularly loved the blood orange one). Sad that Next Door (their brick & mortar restaurant) is closed, but so happy that people can still enjoy their lovely food. Thank you, BGT! Photo credit: Ken Yotsukura

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.

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.

This business is my heart and soul! It is a total dream to imagine my artwork in your home, making you feel beautiful and loved day after day. I am completely dedicated to designing an artful memorial to commemorate your happy marriage for your own life and generations to come.

The texture is so cool and catches light at the best places. Milo also included a bonus canvas that they used as they mixed the paints with as their swatches when working on this lovely piece! Hire Milo for your next commissioned work that someone you love would love!

Old World Pizza Truck 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
New Haven, CT
  • Caterer
  • Starts at $2,000

We started Old World Pizza Truck with our beloved old '42 Chevy, built and designed with a passion for entertaining and food in mind. Our fleet consists of four international diesel trucks, ready to serve both local and long range parties all across Connecticut, parts of New York, and Massachusetts. All trucks have basically the same equipment including powerful sound systems for those of you that like music at your affairs. They all are self sufficient with onboard generators, coolers, freezers and running water. No matter which truck is sent, the total experience is the same- great food, great music, lots of fun and unsurpassed service!

The amount of compliments I have received on the food at my wedding is too many to count! My only complaint is that I didn’t get to try more pizzas! We booked Old World Pizza Truck for dinner service and cocktail hour charcuterie and boy did they deliver. Even the skeptics (“pizza at your wedding?!”) came back to tell us what a phenomenal and unique meal it was. To quote one of my guests, “That pizza truck was genius. Did I tell you that the dessert pizza with peanut butter, jelly and bacon made my list of best things I’ve ever eaten that sounds completely disgusting?” Would book 10x over. Better than a 150 mediocre plated dinner by a mile.

We are Jasmine Tianna Photography, a wedding photography business located in Connecticut. We believe a couple's love story deserves to be captured in the most beautiful way possible. Recognizing that a wedding is a singular moment in time, we'll capture it in away that envelopes intimacy and romance. Trying to capture every detail with a stylish, journalistic approach so the pictures can be enjoyed for many years to come.

Jasmine was an easy choice to pick. From first reaching out until the end of wedding night, she was always kind, prompt and professional. She did our engagement photos and spent 8 hours with us on our wedding day. Photos from both days turned out ethereal, beautiful and stunning. We are obsessed with them. Me and my now husband are very camera shy and she made us feel and look great. Her photographic eye is really out of this world, she sees the beauty in any setting or back drop and captures it on camera. Her portfolio speaks for itself, I would hire her again without hesitation. Thank you Jasmine!

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).

Our wedding day was everything and way better than was imagined and our florals from Fountainhead were breathtaking! I gave Kate some inspo pictures and what actually arrived that morning, was better than imagined! Many of our pictures take place in front of barrels and the colors from the bouquet just elevates everything! All of our guests commented on how amazing and unique our florals were. I can't thank the team enough for bringing my vision for my wedding to life!

**PLEASE DO NOT REACH OUT THROUGH ZOLA. Fill out my contact form or dm me on Instagram. I do not check messages here.** Timeless, editorial imagery with a warm, documentary approach. From the grand, luxurious details to the quiet, candid glances you share when no one’s watching, I’m there to preserve it all with intention. If you’re dreaming of wedding photos that feel both refined and deeply personal, I’d love to bring your vision to life.

WildRoot Moments was such a joy to work with on our elopement day. From our initial conversations, Destiny’s communication was quick, excited, and very clear - putting us at ease throughout the entire process. Her work is truly beautiful, captivating, and timeless, as she documented our day perfectly and captured the emotions of the event flawlessly. She is such a kind soul and was so understanding and patient in during our time together— time shared with our two year old who didn’t always take to photo instructions very well. I absolutely love the work she produced, and could not recommend WildRoot Moments enough to any couple looking for a talented and professional wedding photographer!! We also received our gallery so quickly, which was amazing and shows how dedicated she is to her work!

I'm also a notary (Florida) if you prefer secular certification.

Awarded Best of Zola
We truly could not have asked for a better officiant for our wedding! Eloise was everything we hoped for kind, professional, and incredibly organized and she went above and beyond to create a ceremony that was heartfelt, personal, and unforgettable. From our very first interaction, she made everything feel so easy. She brought us a full, beautifully written ceremony plan that felt like it was crafted just for us. She took the time to get to know our story and wove it into the ceremony in such a meaningful way from our high school beginnings and proposal at Wallace Park, to the small things that make our relationship special, like our shared love of travel and beach trips. One of our favorite parts was how she incorporated the Sand Ceremony. It was something we really wanted, and she made it feel so symbolic and unique to us. Her words during that moment, about blending our lives while still honoring who we are as individuals, were so touching. Standing together at that table, surrounded by our loved ones, felt like the perfect representation of our union. She also honored our late grandparents with such grace and respect, bringing them into the ceremony in a way that felt spiritual and comforting. From her guidance for our family during the opening, to the blessing at the end, she brought clarity, presence, and peace to every step. She managed to strike the perfect balance between emotional, thoughtful, and light-hearted (including a little humor that made us and our guests smile!). Every guest felt included and every word felt intentional. Having her as our officiant made our ceremony not just official, but truly meaningful. We are so grateful for her work and presence on such an important day. If you are looking for someone who will thoughtfully and lovingly guide you through your wedding ceremony, she is absolutely the one. Thanks again! – Logan & Kaelyn
