Brittany is so talented and did such a stunning job with our wedding florals!! I had a very vague vision going into floral planning, and Brittany took the very few inspiration pics I provided and ran with it! She was so communicative and attentive to several ad hoc changes and requests. Brittany created bouquets/displays that were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! She was intentional about helping select flowers that would match our theme and make sure our pictures looked magical, but would last in the summer heat. Our guests could not stop complementing them, even days after the wedding!!! We couldn’t be happier and are so excited to recommend Brittany to future brides!!!

Franchesca’s Events & Floral Designs 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
Oakland, RI
  • Florist
  • Starts at $4,500

At Franchesca’s Events & Floral Design, we create refined, romantic wedding florals across Rhode Island and the Boston Metro area.

Franchesca was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Her design is absolutely stunning, but what sets her apart is the heart behind her work. You can feel how much she genuinely loves what she does, and that passion shows in every detail. From the bouquets to the ceremony and reception florals, everything was thoughtful, cohesive, and beautifully crafted. She has an incredible eye for color, texture, and balance. The arrangements felt elegant and intentional, and they elevated the entire atmosphere of our day. Beyond her talent, Franchesca is such a joy to work with. She is kind, attentive, and fully invested in making your vision come to life. She made the process feel personal and special, not just another event on her calendar. Walking into our wedding and seeing her work brought everything together in a way that felt meaningful and unforgettable. Franchesca didn’t just create beautiful florals. She poured her heart into them, and it made our day even more special. I cannot recommend her enough.

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer/videographer duo than Ryan and Brad. From the second we met them, they took all of our anxieties away and made us feel comfortable and at ease- even though we aren’t the type of people who love being in front of the camera. Our wedding was very recent so we don’t have all of our pictures / video, but the previews we saw were absolutely amazing. Not only incredible photographers, but incredible people- they took time out of their own day to scope out the most perfect spots for breathtaking pictures. Cannot recommend Willow Photo co enough. Thanks again Ryan & Brad!

Awarded Best of Zola
To say Emily and the team at GBC made our dreams come true is an understatement. From the moment we met, we were immediately impressed with her positive attitude, attention to detail, and organization. We fell in love with the venue initially, but now upon reflecting, it was the collective efforts of the staff of Galilee Beach Club that we will forever cherish and appreciate for the rest of our lives. Emily patiently listened and worked hard throughout the entire process, answering endless emails from me, while collaborating with Chris the general manager, Chef Rob, and the rest of her event staff to make all of our ideas come to life. Emily’s planning meetings along the way were focused, thorough, and super informative. She made time (even during her hectic season) for us, always. We trusted her completely with our vision and she knocked it out of the park. For me, I was in awe of her attention to the little things… the plate of hors douerves delivered to the bridal suite for us right after the ceremony, the signature drinks in our toasting flutes during dinner, the floating candles she suggested for the sweetheart table, right down to Emily locating our missing marriage license moments before the ceremony! She did it all with grace and ease. I could trust Emily and her team to set up all of the decor without an ounce of worry and on top of the beautiful set-up, Emily and her team packed up everything (and I mean everything!) into my car that night which truly was an unbelievable service. Chris, the General Manager, was our officiant and he was incredible. We had only met Chris a handful of times before we got married, but we felt as if he was one of our good friends. He knew exactly what we were looking for and we couldn’t have asked for a better ceremony. And the food! Everything was out of this world. Multiple guests claimed the short rib was the best they ever had. Chef Rob’s seared tuna steaks were prepared to perfection, even impressing a room full of tuna fisherman, which is certainly not an easy feat! The Galilee Beach Club was a warm, welcoming, highly professional, full service, simply spectacular place to get married. Our wedding surpassed our wildest dreams, which was undoubtedly the result of the hard work and long hours put in by Emily, Chris, Rob and the rest of the event staff at GBC. As two native Rhode Islanders and Galilee locals, we could not have had a more perfect setting for one of the most memorable days of our lives. We are forever grateful to have worked with such a remarkable team.

Golden Scroll Soloists

  • Ceremony only
  • Serves Oakland, RI

The Golden Scroll Soloists have been wowing Northeast audiences with a variety of styles for 20 years, melding familiar songs you love into an elegant string quartet experience. We helped popularize the "crossover string quartet", much like the Vitamin String Quartet, during the early days of classical crossover. Our style, now made mainstream by Bridgerton, predated the Netflix hit show by 15 years. We're ready to play for your ceremony, your cocktail hour, or maybe even your reception. Choose from a string quartet, string trio, string duo, or violin soloist. Let's start planning the soundtrack to your happily ever after!

Awarded Best of Zola
Apparently, my now-husband is extremely picky when it comes to string quartets. When looking for a string quartet for our wedding in June 2026, we listened to recordings from every available vendor in the Rockland County/Westchester area. Golden Scroll were not only the best sounding, but also were incredibly friendly, organized, and accommodating to our requests. Their song list is MASSIVE and yet they included learning two new songs at no extra charge to allow our playlist to be even more meaningful to us. Kevin was extremely responsive, and was less worried than we were about the 15% chance of rain on the day of the wedding. The performance itself was amazing and our guests raved about it all evening. They didn’t flinch when our robot flower girl came straight towards them! Couldn’t recommend hiring Golden Scroll more for your special event!

If you are looking for a florist in the Rhode Island area, look no further. Ayla did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding florals! Right from the beginning I loved her style and knew she had great instincts and vision. I told her what I was looking for generally, but she brought it to life in ways I never could have imagined. All of our florals were perfect for each space, and she was super helpful in thinking about how to use our budget for maximum impact. So many people commented on how beautiful the florals were and I am so so happy with how it all turned out. She captured our exact vibe we were going for - wild, not too fussy, summer, fun and was such a pleasure to work with.

When searching for a photographer, I was overwhelmed by the number of options available. Dominique didn’t make me feel pressured. She provided us with her wedding guide, which gave us insight into who she is. When we met remotely, I instantly knew she was the one. She was enthusiastic, listened attentively, and asked us questions about what is important to us leading up to the wedding and beyond. She was great to work with, and I knew what to expect.

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.

I had the pleasure of working with Madison this past summer for a wedding I was the florist for. As another vendor, I can't express how impressed I was with Maddie's demeanor for the day. She was such a joy to be around - she managed to be laid back yet kept the ball moving with the couples timeline. She found all the best lighting and scoped out all of the best backdrops for the couple and the end result was absolutely flawless!

Joey G is like my cool uncle except he’s got sick DJ skills. He did our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Not only was he professional and organized, but he also brought an incredible energy to our wedding. For the ceremony and cocktail hour, we provided him with a specific music selection, and even though we never rehearsed together, he nailed it perfectly. During the reception, we gave him a playlist, and he struck the perfect balance between sticking to our choices and reading the crowd to keep everyone dancing. One highlight was when Joey G handed the microphone to people in the crowd, turning our reception into an impromptu karaoke party. It was a blast! He was not only fun and engaging but also very attentive to our needs. He asked how to pronounce each name correctly for the toasts, ensuring everything went smoothly. We requested that he not take song requests, and he respected our wishes completely. The sound quality was stellar, and his equipment setup was flawless. Joey G understood our need for clean music as we had many families with young children attending, yet he still kept the atmosphere lively and fun. The dance floor was packed with all 150 guests! Joey G was also a great help with announcements, coordinating toasts, and working with friends and family to announce the newlyweds and photo groups. His flexibility and attention to detail were impressive. Overall, I highly recommend Joey G to any couple looking for an awesome wedding DJ. He provided a questionnaire that made the whole planning process so easy, and his execution was simply fantastic. Joey G truly made our wedding day unforgettable!

He went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable, offering thoughtful direction while still letting us soak in every moment naturally. His presence felt less like a vendor and more like a friend celebrating with us. One of the most incredible parts? His lightning-fast turnaround time. We received our photos so quickly, and every single shot was beyond stunning, filled with emotion, depth, and a level of detail we never could have imagined. Nick has a true gift for capturing not just how things looked but how they felt. If you’re searching for a photographer who is insanely talented, deeply passionate, and an absolute joy to work with, Nick is your guy. We are endlessly grateful for his work and will treasure these photos for a lifetime. Thank you, Nick! Counting down the days until August!

We knew from the second we met with Christine that Plant Girl Shop was going to be our florist. She was so fast to respond, and had ideas that were both cost friendly and made the room look beautiful. We were obsessed with her, and couldn't be more thankful that we found her and her team at Plant Girl Shop. For a couple that didn't think we cared too much about florals going into the planning process, we were blown away by the work of this team. Make this your first and only call for florals!

Have it your way! That is my philosophy. There are so many different tastes and styles to accommodate, so I work extra hard to make your day exactly how you want it. What's the secret? I listen! I pay attention to each individual client and their own needs. I've been using this philosophy for years, and it has been working quite well! I am constantly learning more about my first love: Music! As a Master of Ceremonies, the philosophy is the same. I never say too much, it is not about me! It's about the client, and I never want to outshine or take any of their attention away.

Awarded Best of Zola
I can't recommend DJ Graeme enough! He is charismatic and kind, as well as incredibly passionate about what he does. He has a great knowledge of music and did a fantastic job of playing a large variety of music at our wedding that appealed to every age. His energy is sure to get the party going at your wedding!

Lover of those in-betweens, laughter, and timeless moments. I’m here for it all! Let me help you capture them! Whenever you look back at your images I want you to remember the experience – the way he almost dropped you in that one photo because you were laughing that hard – or the time they gave you rapid-fire kisses up the side of your cheek. Basically – let me third wheel you and capture all the love you have for each other.

Tatiana was amazing! We were so nervous going into the shoot since we both have never been in front of a professional camera but she made it soooo easy and positioned us perfectly! The day of our shoot was FREEZING and super windy but Tatiana had a blanket for me to wear in between shots and was extremely positive and sooo patient the whole time! After seeing the engagement shoot photos I am SO EXCITED for her to do our wedding!

I absolutely loved working with Jackie and would highly recommend her for your wedding! She was able to take my color palette and modest budget was able to create beautiful florals. Jackie was so easy to work with, responsive, and checked in with me on things that I didn’t even think to ask about. She created a PowerPoint for me to help me break down and decide exactly what I was envisioning. My florals were everything I envisioned and more! I couldn’t have asked for a better florist to work with.

My name is Shelby Simone and I hope to get to know you as we come together for your family's big moments. I am a mom of 3 based in Rhode Island. I photograph weddings and family sessions throughout New England but travel nationally and internationally. I love what photography provides - memories. Photos help you remember the moment you said, "I do", those tiny newborn feet, and how much your child loved their first visit to the beach. I would be thrilled to help you and your growing family capture those moments that you will remember forever!

Awarded Best of Zola
Shelby has been with our family since 2019 when she shot our engagement photos. Since then she has become one of our favorite people! From our wedding, to maternity photos, newborn session and our yearly family photos, Shelby is amazing. She’s so fun to work with and always makes our sessions fun and easy! I am so thankful to have met Shelby and can’t wait to use her for years to come.
