From my initial Zoom meeting with Brittany, I knew I was in great hands! She was extremely kind, attentive, and professional throughout the entire process. Brittany really listened to my vision and was so helpful in offering suggestions and bringing everything together. I decided to go with faux silk-touch flowers for our bouquets, boutonnieres, and church florals, and it was truly one of the best decisions! People could not believe that the flowers were faux—they looked so realistic and photographed beautifully. I absolutely loved my bouquet, and I am so happy that I get to keep it forever as a special reminder of our wedding day! The florals at our reception were absolutely beautiful as well. We also rented a white flower wall from Brittany, and it completely elevated the space and made such a beautiful addition to our reception. I highly recommend Brittany's Floral Design to any couple looking for beautiful, high-quality florals and an amazing person to work with throughout the wedding planning process. Brittany was wonderful, and we are so grateful for everything she did to make our wedding vision come to life!

At Franchesca’s Events & Floral Design, we create refined, romantic wedding florals across Rhode Island and the Boston Metro area. Our passion is transforming spaces with lush garden-inspired blooms, thoughtful design, and seamless service from start to finish. We believe your flowers should do more than decorate a room — they should set the tone, elevate the atmosphere, and make your celebration feel unforgettable.

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.

Keane’s Wood-Fired Catering was founded by husband and wife team, Padraic and Kaylyn Keane.

Padraic welded his first wood-fired smoker at the Steel Yard in Providence and Keane’s held their first catered event at Whalers Brewing in South Kingstown in 2016. Since then Keane’s has continued to build a reputation for exceptional food and service.

I don't even know where to begin - our wedding wouldn't have been the AMAZING event it was without Keane's! We will be forever grateful for their hard-working staff, delicious food/bar services, and of course KYM! Kym was my main point of contact from the beginning of my wedding planning - every single thought/question I threw her way, she had a helpful answer that was prompt and kind. We ended up having Kym add on service as a day of coordinator - and my family is still talking about how much of a rockstar she was. All of my guests that I interacted with that day, and now after, have commented on how lovely all of the catering staff was, and how truly great the food was. I am dreaming about the brisket meatballs, bluefish crostini and mac and cheese. I also had a guest who told me the bar staff made the best margarita they have ever had! We seriously cannot thank this team enough, and I just hope that I am lucky enough to go to another event that they are a part of. I wish I had photos to share of the amazing food, but just know that you will not be disappointed! THANK YOU!!!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I absolutely adore Kristen. Trying to pick a photographer was an overwhelming decision for us due to the fact that there are so many different styles and we weren’t sure what we were looking for. But once we talked to Kristen on the phone we knew she was the perfect fit for us. Her energy over the phone was so infectious and made us excited to get in front of her camera. Our first time meeting her was at our engagement shoot. We decided to go with a sunrise beach session and Kristen showed up with energy and ready to capture our love. She was down to do any pose and was always hyping us up on how perfect our pictures were coming out. We had so much fun and were just able to relax and be ourselves. This all translated into the beautiful pictures we received from Kristen. From the time of our engagement shoot (July 2023) to our wedding (September 2024) Kristen was always checking in to see how we were doing and how excited she was to shoot our big day. It was so awesome to have constant check ins with her!! The day of our wedding (9/21/24) was so amazing thanks to Kristen. She was with us for majority of the day and always made sure to hype us all up and to make sure I knew I could take breaks from pictures at any time. All of our guests absolutely loved her as much as my husband and I do. 10/10 would recommend her for any photography services. She is amazing to work with, takes beautiful pictures, and is professional but also knows how to have a good time.

Awarded Best of Zola
Finding a vegan bakery is hard, and finding one that does weddings can be even more difficult! Luckily, we were able to connect with Becky at Celebrated for our recent wedding. She came recommended by a couple close friends who worked with her for the desserts at their own completely vegan wedding a few years ago- we attended so we knew already how good the cakes and desserts are! From start to finish, Becky was so involved and helpful in the process. The tasting box is HUGE and full of your own choices and such a treat in itself honestly! The hardest part was choosing combinations, but she provides popular pairings and opinions if you need assistance. The pricing is very transparent, and if you’re torn between options, the pricing and quantities can be laid out in different pairings so you can really see what works best for you. We ended up going with a 1/2 sheet cake for serving and a smaller two-tiered display cake for cutting- the bottom tier got served as well and we took the top tier home! The design input provided is also so helpful. We were torn between a few different ideas, so I sent over my thoughts to Becky with some inspo boards, and she got back to me with her opinions and helped me make the final decision. We paired up with my florist, who provided blooms to decorate the tiered cake with, and it came out so beautifully. We couldn’t have been happier! We had such pretty, and more importantly, delicious cakes for our wedding. Would absolutely recommend to anyone, vegan or not!

When not making creative videos, I love eating Mexican food, watching movies, and playing with my dogs. I also volunteer and foster for Rhode Home Rescue, a non-profit animal rescue.

Tired of not seeing yourselves represented in the wedding industry? Welcome to the RTP fam - we're a husband and wife duo shooting a combination of digital, film and Polaroid photos so that your gallery will deliver all the vibes and capture your sick, nontraditional love. And because of all the time we'll spend together getting to know you and crafting the perfect photo timeline for your day, you'll feel like we're just your two best friends there to capture the moments. No matter your size, race, gender, sexual orientation or religion, we're here to hype you up as you share all your wildest wedding ideas with us!

I was recommended Rhode Tripper Photography by my makeup artist, Sydney, because she knew I wanted a local photographer who shot on film and digital with an organic, natural style. I wanted real, intimate, beautifully captured moments that showcased Providence perfectly. I am so happy I took her advice! From the start, it was incredibly easy to work with them. During our initial call, Meaghan really got to know us to ensure they could capture exactly what we were looking for. Their pricing is more than fair for the expertise they bring, and they were even willing to work within our budget for some adjustments, which was incredible. We are so glad we did the engagement shoot. Like Meaghan and Evan recommended, it gave us time to get comfortable being photographed. While I talk a lot through my shyness, my (now) husband Sean is more traditionally quiet, neither of us are 'typical' models and we’d both prefer to be behind the camera. Spending time with them got us used to organic movements and posing. Those photos were so incredible that we displayed them at our wedding and have them framed in our home. I never felt more beautiful... until our wedding day! Leading up to the wedding, we had a final check-in to review the timeline. They made sure they were aware of family dynamics and made us feel 100% ready. If I was concerned about anything, I just thought, 'Meaghan and Evan will take care of it.' This was especially true when the weather looked bad. As an anxious person, I started to freak out, but Meaghan calmed me down, talked through contingency plans, and assured us everything would be beautiful. She was right! On the day, they were right on time for detail shots and getting-ready photos. After our first look and portraits at the Airbnb, Meaghan and Evan headed to City Hall to capture our ceremony, then walked with us in the rain to Gracie’s for our reception. They took care of everything. I even forgot they were there at points! They bring life to the party and blend in with guests, creating natural photos. They even joined our after-party at the Dusty Planet for mini-golf photos before heading home. In less than 24 hours, we had our sneak peeks, and they made me cry! I’ve never seen myself look happier than I do in those photos looking at Sean. Sean also mentioned he forgot they were there at times, which says a lot for someone who isn't comfortable in front of a camera. We could not recommend them more! Not only do we have go-to photographers now, but we’ve gained two new friends. They are amazing people who capture perfect moments. Please, please book them! Getting our Polaroids at the end of the night was one of the most special moments for us once we got home. I know Meaghan even does custom photo albums, and we might explore that down the line to create something special for us. She truly does it all, she even helped my mom button my dress on the wedding day. We love them so much!

The video came out better than I could have ever imagined and truly captured the day perfectly. Please look no further and book Vargas Videography for your wedding video. You will not regret it!

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!

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. She drafted our timeline, offered recommendations, and helped us design it based on what was important to my husband and me. She curated a family shot list, and let me tell you, she did not disappoint. Her and her team were amazing.
