Brittany knocked our wedding florals out of the park! From the very start she was so easy to work with - meeting us over the phone because we are not local to CT to get a sense of our fall wedding vision. She took such good care to incorporate all of the details we wanted, from the simpler greenery on our sweetheart table to the intricate bridal bouquets and centerpieces, everything exceeded our expectations AND met our budget. Thank you, Brittany!!

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. 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’s Florals absolutely exceeded every expectation we had for our wedding day. From our first conversation to the final setup, she brought creativity, care, and an incredible attention to detail that made everything feel seamless. The arrangements at both our church and the Aldrich Mansion were nothing short of breathtaking. The florals elevated every space — elegant, timeless, and perfectly curated to complement the beauty and architecture of each venue. Walking into the Aldrich Mansion and seeing how the flowers framed the room, enhanced the tables, and tied everything together was unforgettable. The church arrangements were equally stunning — reverent, romantic, and full of life without overpowering the sacredness of the space. Beyond the beauty, Franchesca was organized, calm, and deeply invested in making our vision come to life. She understood exactly what we were hoping for and somehow made it even better than we imagined. So many of our guests commented on how gorgeous the flowers were — they truly set the tone for the entire celebration. If you’re looking for florals that are elegant, intentional, and executed with excellence, Franchesca’s Florals is the one. We are beyond grateful.

Known for timeless photographs, elevated service, and an effortless client experience, Ryan creates imagery that preserves not just how your wedding looked, but how it felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a pretty nontraditional wedding and came to Ryan DeVoll with a similarly nontraditional vision for capturing the day. We didn’t want a lot of portraits or a long shot list, but someone to document our day with our favorite people. Ryan completely understood what we were going for and delivered beyond anything we imagined. After several planning conversations leading up to the wedding, we were confident photography was something we didn’t need to worry about — and the results speak for themselves. Ryan captured the pure joy that we (and our guests) felt throughout the day. Ryan was an awesome presence all day: professional and organized with great vision for locations, but easygoing, never intrusive, and somehow always in the right place at the right time. Also, genuinely funny — we honestly wish we’d had more time together! The photos feel cinematic and alive. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the day; we can hear the music, the words, the laughter. People who see them say, “Oh, you had exactly the wedding you wanted!” Ryan nailed it. If you’re looking for someone who can combine artistry with authenticity and tell your story in a way that feels truly you, we couldn’t recommend Ryan more.

I'm obsessed with Charlene! She was a dream to work with. She brought such professionalism to our hectic event. We were planning a wedding at a personal property, meaning we had to supply every single vendor and she handled everything amazingly. She wrangled the vendors prior to the day of and she helped me keep my cool during the stress of the morning. You can tell she's a pro at this! There were times I felt a little underwater in terms of managing an event I had no experience with, and her demeanor was so calming and she handled any last minute things. She also helped with some post-wedding issues even though she could have wiped her hands and been done with the event day of. I've already told multiple people in her area to book her immediately.

We hosted both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding at the Galilee Beach Club, and it was everything we hoped for and more. Honestly, we didn’t even know we wanted a beach club wedding when we started planning—we just knew we wanted Narragansett beach vibes. As soon as we saw this venue, we knew it was the perfect fit. The food was incredible. From the very start, the tasting event gave us such a fun preview, and it only got better on the actual wedding weekend. Our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was! We also decided to book our florals through the venue, and that was such a smart choice—the arrangements were stunning and perfectly matched the vibe we wanted, all without the stress of juggling another vendor. A huge shoutout goes to Emily, who was with us every step of the way. She answered countless questions, kept in touch with multiple email check-ins, and made sure every detail was thought of. On the wedding day itself, she was a total rockstar—calm, attentive, and making sure everything ran seamlessly. Even when a light drizzle came through, she and the team handled it effortlessly and kept the energy high. The rest of the staff was equally amazing. Everyone was so professional, kind, and genuinely fun to be around—it made the whole weekend feel so comfortable and celebratory. And of course, the venue itself is absolutely beautiful. We had about 100 guests, and having our ceremony right on the beach was the perfect mix of relaxed and romantic. The setting made for such a special backdrop, and it felt like the true Narragansett beach wedding we always envisioned (even before we realized we wanted a beach club!). We are beyond grateful we chose the Galilee Beach Club. From planning to the final sendoff, the entire experience was flawless. If you’re dreaming of a wedding with amazing food, incredible staff, and the most gorgeous beach setting, this is the place.

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. There are a lot of vendors out there and it can be really hard to wade through them all, but hiring Ayla and Shade Studio will truly be a no regrets decision!

Their music was a highlight of the whole day. Our guests kept coming up to us and saying how incredible the music was. They were so surprised what string instruments could sound like.

We truly can’t say enough about Maddie and the incredible experience we had working with her. From the very beginning, it was clear how kind, creative, and deeply passionate she is about photography. Maddie went above and beyond—traveling from Rhode Island to Upstate New York for our wedding, and photographing us beforehand in Rhode Island, where she brought us to stunning, thoughtfully chosen locations. On our wedding day, Maddie captured everything with an artistic, intuitive eye. She noticed and preserved the quiet, meaningful details of our farm venue—those small, fleeting moments we would have missed in the rush of the day. Because of her, we now have timeless images that bring us right back to the feeling of being there. One of our absolute favorite memories (and the photos everyone raves about) is the sunset session in a wide open field while our guest we're eating their dinner. With the soft dreamlike tones—she created pure magic, effortlessly. Maddie just knew what to capture and how to tell our story without needing a word of direction. We are endlessly grateful for Maddie’s talent, care, and heart. Her photos are a gift we’ll cherish for a lifetime.

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!

As a dedicated wedding photography business, I go above and beyond to fully cater to each couple, delivering a personalized experience that exceeds expectations. From the quiet, intimate moments to the grand celebrations, we document your wedding day with unmatched quality and care.

If you are here reading reviews trying to decide on a photographer for your engagement shoot, wedding, or truly any special moment in your life, this is the only review you need. From the moment we met Nick, his kindness, compassion, and vision were unmatched. He immediately made me feel comfortable and confident. Within minutes, he asked what my favorite side was (ladies, if you know, you know!) and made sure we looked amazing from every angle. He guided us through poses seamlessly, always pointing out little details - a leg bend here, a hand placement there - so we never felt awkward or unsure. His professionalism and genuine care for his couples shine through in every shot. We received our photos so quickly, and I was absolutely blown away. We had shared a Pinterest board for inspiration, and Nick not only brought it to life but elevated it beyond anything I could have imagined. Honestly, our gallery looks like it belongs in a magazine .. I will never get over it. When I opened our gallery, I was speechless. My whole family cried. Every single photo was breathtaking. Nick is a master in every setting - as the sun shifted, he instinctively knew how to capture the most flattering, magical lighting. It’s been a week, and we still can’t choose just three favorites to enlarge for our home because every photo feels like a masterpiece. I also need to mention that my fiancé owns a wedding videography company, so the bar for our photographer was set very high. He now recommends Nick to every couple he works with, because he knows no one does it better - and after seeing our photos, I completely agree. I don’t usually leave reviews, but Nick’s talent and kindness deserve to be recognized. These were only our engagement photos, and I already can’t wait to see the magic he creates on our wedding day in 2027. So to all the brides and couples out there: do yourself the biggest favor and book Love By the Ocean Photography. Nick is truly the best of the best, and you’ll be over the moon that you did. With light, and SO much truth, Lexi R.

Alex and the IT'S LIT Weddings & Events team were fantastic to work with for our wedding. Their communication was quick, resourceful and helpful throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work was excellent - they were super fun to collaborate with and made the day run smoothly from start to finish. They provided DJ services, a photo booth, uplighting and custom giant letters that added such a special touch. Alex even helped create a custom song for a special dance with my mom, making our day even more magical. The party kept going the whole night and we didn't want it to end!

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.

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!

Jackie was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was responsive, stayed within our budget, and allowed us to pick specific flowers and greens we loved to include, while using her skills to make them BEAUTIFUL! She was on time, organized, set everything up perfectly. She did everything we could have needed, She was prepared for the weather potential with an outdoor ceremony and had her own ladder to ensure she could reach anywhere necessary. Our wedding colors were purple and green, which she captured perfectly, and even went out of her way to find more rare flowers with those colors. She even added string of pearls to my bouquet, which I personally wanted and loved. The men's flowers were also beautiful, with the groom having a special boutonniere that still blended perfectly with the other guys. We could not have found a better florist. We were lucky to get to work with Jackie!

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
We worked with Shelby for our engagement photos and wedding in March 2020. Not only was she professional and timely with everything, but she’s also just an amazing human. Kind, loving and warm to everyone, she made us feel right at home and comfortable from the second we met her! We recommend her to all our friends getting married!

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.

Graeme was so great! Reliable, Professional, and a champion when it rained at my outdoor reception! He kept his composure and kept the party going inside until the rain passed. Choosing Graeme was a relief- I knew I didn't need to worry about him or the music all night! I would 100% recommend! Plus, he is such a nice, genuine person which made working with him on my special day even more of a pleasure!!!
