Doorbell Barbers

Rating: 5.0 (21 reviews)

“As the father of the bride, I wanted to give my future son-in-law something truly memorable before he married my daughter at Rosecliff—and booking Doorbell Barbers for the morning of the wedding at Little Gold Newport turned out to be one of the most meaningful experiences of the day. What Christian brought to the table was so much more than expert grooming (though his craftsmanship is absolutely master-level). It was a bonding experience—he cued up music from Greece, poured us his homemade wine, laid out cured meats he’d brought himself, and turned that morning into something special we’ll never forget. His attention to detail was impeccable, from the precision of the shaves to the way he personalized every moment. He’s not just talented—he’s a genuinely good guy with a calm, easy presence that put everyone at ease. I can’t thank him enough for the memories he helped create that morning.”

Sea Breeze Events

Rating: 5.0 (20 reviews)

“From the moment we first spoke with Sea Breeze Events, we knew we were in good hands. We hired Cliona to help with day of coordination on our wedding day. Cliona’s communication style and overall vibe fit us so well, being very easy-going yet also unafraid to take charge, keeping a calm demeanor that helped us feel the same way throughout the entire day. She and her assistant were incredibly organized, ready to tackle any issue, and thoroughly professional. They kept all of our vendors and ourselves informed and on track, handling any problems that came up without causing us any added stress. Everything went so smoothly and Cliona even took care of things day-of that we had forgotten to discuss with her. She truly just took care of it all and we are so grateful we were able to work with her! Thank you, Cliona!!”

Within my professional career, I have had the privilege to travel to some amazing places and have had the opportunity to plan and work with a variety of events. Even going way back to college I helped organize an unlimited amount of events and even helped the years below be on their proms! I can easily say it has always been such a fun hobby that I truly enjoyed. Now, with many different jobs tried out I can confidently say, I have found my niche.

Rating: 5.0 (19 reviews)

“Madison was an incredible photographer for our wedding day at Nicollet Island Pavilion! She was efficient, fun, laid-back, and helped us feel comfortable super quickly which made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. Her work is truly top-tier - she has an incredible vision and unique style that captured all the special moments of our wedding. She was so energetic and encouraging, which helped us feel less stiff and more natural in front of the camera (which does not come easily to us!). Madison also came prepared with our Pinterest board and shot list, ensuring she got all the specific pictures we wanted while adding her own spin on them. Her editing of the wedding shots were better than I could have imagined - I specifically loved the blurry shots that were mixed in. We cannot recommend Madison enough - she was an integral part of making our wedding day so special and memorable.”

I think you might be here because you're a little turned off by performative wedding photography. Maybe you don't even want a wedding photographer, exactly. Maybe you just want a good photographer to photograph your wedding. A lot of the people I work with describe themselves as anti-bride. Not anti-wedding. They just don't want the day to feel like a list of things to get through.

“From the first moment I sent Abby an inquiry and she wrote back so promptly and sweet I just knew she’s who I wanted to go with. I am NOT a planner so without her my wedding would’ve been absolute chaos with no one knowing what to do, I’m honestly not sure how she had everything run so smoothly because I gave her the bare minimum to work with just saying (I don’t know) to half her questions and she always came back with “no problem we can go back to it or I can come up with a plan”.. so basically 95% of the timeline was all of her suggestions and her and I am SO THANKFUL for that because our day was seriously the most magical, amazing, so much love, if there were any mishaps which I’m sure there were .. (I still don’t know.. because ABBY was on top of everything and smiling through it all and always checking in on Nick and I) my vendors LOVED her , our families couldn’t stop talking about her, & we still keep telling people who tell us it was the greatest wedding of all time that we owe so much to Abby.. because we do! SOOOOO if you debating on going with her stop debating and just do it I promise you she will listen to what you want, check in on time always before and during, and if you don’t know what to do like me.. she will help guide you through the process of building your timeline and best day of your life! I can keep writting about her and all the extra little things that made our hearts explode on the day of BUT I’ll stop and just say… book with Abby and it will be your best investment 110%”

SACRA

“Lauren did my hair for my wedding in November 2024. Not only was it a windy day by the water, we also had a very rowdy dance floor. My hair lasted through all of it, even looking good enough to keep wearing it for the farewell brunch we hosted the next day. It was also important to me that my hair would be touchable and soft without that hair spray crunch, and Lauren delivered! All of my bridesmaids (she helped with 6 girls that morning, including friends with thick/very curly hair) were ecstatic with their hair. Aside from just being talented, Lauren is also one of the most genuine, down to earth, and kind people you’ll ever meet. Could recommend her more highly!”

OceanCliff Hotel

Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)

“OceanCliff Hotel was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we reached out, the staff, especially Alison and Taylor, were incredibly responsive and great listeners as we planned our special day. The venue itself is open, stunning water views, breath taking sunsets and beautifully appointed with fireplaces that created a warm and cozy atmosphere. We got married last month, January, and our guest could not stop telling us how much they loved the fireplaces and views. I chose this venue because of the fireplace, views, and chandeliers. I scheduled our ceremony during the sun set and it was more than I could have ever expected. The food was amazing, and the entire team worked efficiently to ensure our wedding day went off without a hitch. I did add the clam chowder and clam cakes to our cocktail hour and all the guests have raved about how good the clam cakes were! In my opinion they are better than Iggy’s. Yes, I said that! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting to celebrate our marriage. I highly recommend doing the ceremony and taking pictures during the sunset! We highly recommend OceanCliff Hotel to any couple looking for a stunning backdrop and attentive service for their wedding. Pick this venue now! This is your sign! :)”

She talked us through every shot and was supportive and kind to two people who had never taken professional photos before. She made the whole planning process easy and stress free and we never worried about a thing because we knew she was on top of it.

“Pamela was absolutely amazing and such a meaningful part of our wedding ceremony. From our very first meeting, she was warm, organized, and incredibly informative, which immediately put us at ease and helped us understand how the ceremony process would unfold. She provided thoughtful guidance and a variety of options for readings and vows, which made it easy for us to shape a ceremony that felt personal without feeling overwhelming. Throughout the entire planning process, she was consistently responsive, answering our questions quickly and clearly, and always making us feel supported. We truly felt like we had meaningful input in creating the ceremony, and Pamela did a beautiful job of incorporating our personalities, values, and story into the final script. The ceremony reflected us so well, it felt authentic, heartfelt, and intentional in every way. On the day of the wedding, she presented the ceremony with such calm confidence, warmth, and sincerity that it created a really grounding and emotional atmosphere for us. During the ceremony, we felt present, relaxed, and fully able to take in the moment because we trusted Pamela completely. So many of our guests told us afterward how beautiful, personal, and well-paced the ceremony was, along with the laughs we had. One of our friends who are getting married asked for her information so they can have her officiate their ceremony too! We are so grateful for her presence, her guidance, and the care she put into every detail of our experience, it truly made our wedding ceremony unforgettable.”

It’s spacious, beautifully designed, and filled with great natural light. The space is so peaceful and I felt calm and relaxed all morning. There was plenty of room for everyone to get ready and hang out and it had everything we could have needed, from a steamer to a speaker.

“We had a truly wonderful experience with Jen. We live in NYC and were planning our Newport destination wedding long distance. From the first Zoom call, I felt like I was talking to a friend, and I was not wrong. We ended up talking for two hours and Jen helped me with all kinds of things that I couldn't just hand off to our wedding planner, (like how to do portraits with our complicated families and where to seat them). I described the look I wanted for our photos and Jen was immediately able to pull out examples from past weddings and samples of her work that were absolutely incredible and spot-on. On the day, everything went so, so smoothly. Jen showed up like an absolute boss with her lighthearted humor and genuine excitement, everyone loved her. I could see how my sisters and bridesmaids and even my stressed out mom opened up to her. The candids that she was able to capture are priceless. When I was planning my wedding, I didn't fully understand how valuable REAL photos would be. Now that I have them, I can't believe that I could have missed out on them! Two of my friends have already booked Jen for their weddings. Just book her, BOOK HER!”

AMC Weddings

“The best decision we made while planning our September 2022 wedding was hiring Ariana and the AMC Weddings team. Her attention to detail, organization, and professionalism throughout the entire wedding planning and designing process was astounding. Ariana was there to make us feel confident in each decision we were making for our wedding day whether the decision big or small. Ariana was our contact person for all of our vendors to alleviate the stress and burden of many, many emails which made the wedding planning process for us that much more enjoyable. Her immaculately-detailed timelines, design plans, itineraries, and expertise were truly unmatched and made our wedding day better than we could have ever imagined. The AMC Weddings Team (thank you also to Pascale, Lauren, and Macey!) blended in during our wedding day so seamlessly. There was even an issue with the person that was supposed to bring our dog Luna to our first look location. We, as the bride and groom, didn’t even realize it was an issue until the following day that Luna was not going to be able to be brought back to our home nearby by the dog company we hired. AMC Weddings didn’t even think twice and drove over 40 minutes one-way to ensure she was brought back safely, without even a hiccup in the day. Our friends and family could not stop telling us how wonderful, professional, and helpful Ariana and her team were throughout the entire day. We could not have made it through this process without her. If you are on the fence about hiring Ariana and AMC Weddings, it will be the best investment you make for a stress-free wedding day! We cannot thank Ariana and her team enough!”

The Bohlin

“The Bohlin was the perfect venue for our wedding day. We got married in a nearby church and had the cocktail hour and reception at the Bohlin. The planning team was so professional and easy to work with from day one. I had multiple phone calls before signing the contract essentially going line-by-line to make sure I fully knew and understood what was and was not included (would recommend doing this with any venue). Although the minimums are pretty steep, the high-quality inclusions and mostly all-in-one package made it completely worth it. The venue can speak for itself! It is a gorgeous waterfront hidden in the heart of downtown Newport. One of our priorities was easy logistics for our guests and this was a perfect location for that. Our other priority was good food and let me tell you, Newport Restaurant Group is top notch. Our guests raved for weeks about the quality of the food. The last thing I'll highlight is how personalized it felt throughout the wedding planning process. The whole time it felt like ours was the only wedding they were planning during a peak month of June. We are thrilled we chose The Bohlin for our special day.”

She and her team were incredibly responsive to every question we threw at them about hosting a May wedding in New England, especially when it came to planning an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour with unpredictable weather. What impressed us most was how they truly understood the vibe we wanted—they anticipated that our guests would want to dance and grab drinks easily, and designed the space to make that happen seamlessly. Even though we were at the high end of their guest capacity, Lauren offered creative layouts and solutions that made everyone comfortable and kept the energy flowing all night long.

“Having my wedding at the Newport Marriott exceeded my expectations from start to finish. You can't beat the scenic location, unmatched convenience of having accommodations under the same roof to the staff that went above and beyond with every request big or small. I can't express enough how at ease I felt leading up to my wedding working with Rachel who was my events coordinator. Throughout my entire planning process, I could always count on her for a prompt response with answers to any questions I had or resolutions to any new requests and concerns I'd throw her way. Being able to have full trust in Rachel was really the greatest gift I could ask for. She made the process so stress-free and it's worth mentioning she's super sweet and a joy to be around! When I think back on my wedding, I'll always remember how helpful she was and how much that positively impacted the entire experience. Every staff member I worked with was incredibly helpful and pleasant. My guests rang their praises after the big day too. The food and bar service was top notch. I used the house centerpieces that were gorgeous. I hadn't a single worry about everything coming together the way I planned and pictured all because of the staff here.

We had two servers working our event and they couldn't have been better—they were attentive, kind, and seemed to genuinely care about making our day special. The space itself is cute and intimate, which made our celebration feel personal and cozy. What really stood out was how accommodating they were with our guests' allergies and dietary needs, including special kids options. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish, and we'd absolutely recommend Sardella's to any couple looking for a venue that feels warm and welcoming.”

Meg Heriot Photography

“Meg was INCREDIBLE as our photographer for our October wedding in the Berkshires. She is so easy to work with, especially my husband who doesn’t typically like being photographed. She made us both feel so at ease, gave clear instructions for poses, and made everything feel really natural. We had large wedding parties and large families, and she was awesome at wrangling everyone. We are so excited to see how everything turns out!! Thanks, Meg!”

Photographer

Hi! I'm Meg! I LOVE what I do, and I enjoy sharing my vision with everyone! I got my first camera from a Kelloggs Corn Flakes mail in off the box when I was in the 3rd Grade and ever since then I've been HOOKED! Since I began photographing on Film, and learning the TRUE Process of Color Printing and Processing in a dark room, I have become a nit-pic for portraying the truth in a photograph. It's a blessing to be surrounded by so many Amazing people! I wouldn't be here today without the love and support of my Family, Friends & clients who are all over the globe. I am truly one of the luckiest gals around!
