“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.

Keane's Wood-Fired Catering

·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • Caterer
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Oakland, RI

Keane’s Wood-Fired Catering was founded by husband and wife team, Padraic and Kaylyn Keane. Padraic grew up working in his parents’ village pub in Galway, Ireland and moved to the United States in 2015 where he became fascinated with traditional southern barbecue. 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
“There are a million reasons Keane’s has been awarded the top caterer in Rhode Island. It’s hard to put into words what their service meant to us throughout the wedding process. Alicia’s patience and attention to detail during planning, and her certainty that the day would go just as planned was very much appreciated as a nervous bride. Additionally, as someone with a laundry list of allergies, Keane’s took the time to sit down with me and create a menu that I could fully enjoy. To sum it up, the one thing we’ve heard from each and every guest since the wedding is, “Wedding food is usually fine at best, and that was one of the best meals I’ve ever had.” Highly recommend the brisket, cornbread, broccoli salad, and of course their chocolate chip cookies. Thank you to Keane’s for your exceptional service and your delicious food. You’ve got customers for life.”

Based in Rhode Island and serving all of New England. Love By The Ocean Co. is a wedding photography business that is dedicated to capturing your most cherished memories in breathtaking detail, creating timeless images to be treasured for a lifetime. 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.”

“Kristen was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! She photographed both our engagement session—where she captured the sweetest shots of us with our pups—and our wedding day, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her talent, energy, and heart. From the very beginning, Kristen was so down to earth and easy to connect with. She has such a great personality and instantly made us (and our whole crew) feel comfortable in front of the camera. She even helped me button up my dress after a quick bathroom break—talk about going above and beyond! Kristen truly knows her stuff. She has an amazing eye for angles, light, and location, and she guided us with confidence to make sure we got the most stunning shots. Our wedding day was over 90 degrees with intense humidity, and she powered through all our family portraits and couple shots with absolute ease—never missing a beat. She’s incredibly organized, communicative, and took the time to really get to know us, as well as our friends and family. That personal touch made a huge difference and made every photo feel even more special. Kristen is not only an incredible photographer—she’s a joy to be around. If you're looking for someone who will capture your big day beautifully and make the whole process feel effortless, hire Kristen. You won’t regret it!”

It poured all day during my wedding but it didn’t phase Felipe at all. He was so professional and I felt like I was in a real movie! Luis had my video edited extremely quickly. When my husband and I watched our highlight video we were in shock. It was so beautiful and magical. I must’ve watched it a million times already and I just got the footage. I can’t say enough awesome things about vargas videography and I am so happy I randomly found him on Ig!”

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!”

“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!”

My name is Nicole Bartlett and I am the owner of Nicole Bartlett Beauty, LLC (I know truly a unique business name). My love for all things beauty started at an early age. I honed in my skills and started working for MAC while in college. While studying for my degree I continued to work doing makeup and hair for weddings and events. It is truly my honor being able to make individuals feel their best. There is nothing more valuable to me then when my clients look in the mirror after I complete my services and they beam with confidence and beauty. I am so grateful to be trusted with your special day!

Awarded Best of Zola
“I don’t even know where to begin…. from the time I started communication and reached out to Nicole, all the way to my wedding day, there was such an unbelievable ease. Nicole knew me better than I even knew myself. I’m not someone who wears a lot of make up or likes to be the center of attention, but Nicole was able to find a way to make me feel so comfortable and respected throughout the entire process. We made some changes from our trial to the actual wedding day and everything was done with professionalism and genuine care from Nicole. All of the members of my bridal party were taken care of and couldn’t believe how incredible their final looks came together. The team of artists that Nicole put together for my wedding day was unbelievable, and were people that she knew would make everything perfect. If I had to go back and do it over again, I would’ve booked Nicole sooner in the process because she exceeded all of my expectations and was a huge part of what made my wedding day so special. Nicole made me feel like the most beautiful bride!”

Awarded Best of Zola
“When I was looking for floral vendors for my July 2024 wedding in Block Island, I came across Ayla’s Instagram, and I knew immediately I had to work with her. I fell in love with the whimsical, natural, English-garden vibe of her florals, and I just thought she was the coolest person. From the first conversation we had, it felt like she “got” me, suggesting flowers, designs, and concepts better than I could possibly articulate myself. She was incredibly thoughtful putting together multiple proposals that fit our vision and our budget. The entire planning process couldn’t have been easier because of how sweet, communicative, and easy Ayla was to work with. Cut to the wedding day, and I was honestly speechless seeing her work come to life in our tent. Ayla is an ARTIST. She created a gorgeous 65 ft table runner for our head table that was so dreamy I still think about it. The bouquets were exactly what I was looking for - natural and simple but packed a stunning punch. Then there was the tent entrance installation, which was so beautiful on its own but also so thoughtfully designed to enhance the view and setting of our venue. Multiple guests came up to me on the wedding day (and even in the weeks afterwards) commenting on how the florals were some of the most unique and beautiful they had seen. I truly could go on and on. Ayla and her amazing team at shade studio exceeded every expectation a million times over. Hands down, Ayla is the best and I couldn’t recommend her more.”

Since a little girl I found myself always playing and expressing my love for art through makeup. During high school, I started taking clients in my little room. At first, it was just for fun, eventually I started venturing out and traveled to clients in the area. I was then able to get hired at my dream job, Sephora, which was one of the best experiences I've had. In 2022 I opened a studio in Johnston, Rhode Island and eventually joined a wedding team in Newport. I am super excited to showcase my talent in the bridal industry. Making someone feel and look beautiful on their special day has always my dream.

“Absolutely fantastic job at doing wedding makeup for a diverse group of ladies! She was attentive to our desired looks and added her own magic. I have never felt as pretty as I did leaving her chair :) Wish all the photos were out to share but she did an amazing job. HIGHLY recommend.”
