“We can't say enough about Shore Catering and what Summer did for us. She didn't just cater our wedding—she actually helped us find our venue too, which was such a huge relief during the planning process. From our first conversation through the big day, Summer was responsive, kind, and always there when we needed her, whether we were calling or emailing with questions.

Floral Eden is an East Coast floral décor and production company creating weddings and events that feel beautiful, intentional, and completely personal. We handle everything from personal flowers and centerpieces to ceremony installations, reception décor, styling, setup, repurposing, and breakdown. Our goal is to make the whole space feel connected, not like a bunch of separate floral pieces. We love taking a couple’s ideas, Pinterest boards, random screenshots, and “I don’t really know how to explain it” moments and turning them into something that actually feels like them.

“The Floral Eden brought our wedding vision to life in ways we didn't even expect. From our first conversation, the team responded to every question and concern right away, and they truly understood what we wanted for our big day. They created the most stunning centerpieces that sat on each table, and candles were placed throughout the venue to set the perfect mood. When we walked into our reception, the combination of florals and candlelight made everything feel absolutely magical and romantic. The quality of their work was exceptional, and we felt like we got incredible value for what they delivered. We can't recommend The Floral Eden highly enough to any couple planning their wedding.”

Hitched! By Harper is where unforgettable ceremonies meet authentic storytelling. I’m a firefighter-turned-award-winning officiant who crafts one-of-a-kind wedding experiences rooted in joy, meaning, and a touch of humor. Since 2010, I’ve helped couples of all backgrounds feel seen, celebrated, and totally at ease on their big day. Every ceremony is written from scratch to reflect your vibe, your values, and your story—not a template in sight.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our wedding! Kevin was the first officiant we met with, and we knew right away that he was the right choice. He did such an amazing job making our ceremony feel incredibly personal and meaningful. So many of our guests told us afterward that it was one of the best wedding ceremonies they had ever attended. We even had multiple people ask us how we knew him because the ceremony felt so personal that they assumed he must have known us for years! He made everything feel completely unique to us and told our story in such a natural, genuine way. It was heartfelt, personal, and still had the perfect amount of humor. We’re so grateful for how special he made our ceremony and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant!”

Besides, myself, my bridesmaids also could not stop complimenting about their hair & makeup work that Chrys Coles Team have accomplished. Not only is Chrys extremely talented, but she is also kind, professional, organized, caring and such a calming presence on a busy wedding morning. I couldn't have asked for anyone else but Chrys.

“This is what dreams are made of. When I was a little girl, I had big dreams about what my future wedding would look like. As I got older and realized how much everything costs, I started to think my dream wedding would stay just that—a dream. But one thing never changed: I always wanted to get married in a little white chapel and walk down the aisle to the sound of a violin. Petya made that dream come true. From the moment I first reached out to her, we instantly connected. I knew, without a doubt, that no matter where we ended up getting married, she had to be a part of it. I’d listen to her music on YouTube and just melt. She’s cheerful yet calming, incredibly talented, and truly helped put me at ease throughout the process. The morning of my wedding was stressful, but Petya texted me with encouragement, lifting my spirits and getting me excited for the day ahead. Guests even told me how beautiful the atmosphere was as they waited for my arrival—all because of the ambiance she created through her music. As the church doors opened and I saw my soon-to-be husband standing at the altar, the sound of Petya’s violin made it feel like I was walking into a dream. I couldn’t see anyone else—it was as if her melody was wrapping around just the two of us. It might sound dramatic, but we had a very Christian ceremony, and we asked her to play worship music. It made the moment feel sacred, like God’s presence was truly among us. At the end of the ceremony, I ran up to her and couldn’t help but gush about how incredible she was. She gave us our fairytale moment.”

At the heart of every wedding is the same beautiful truth: two people choosing each other. We believe deeply that love is love, and every couple deserves to feel seen, celebrated, and safe on one of the most meaningful days of their lives. Our work is rooted in respect, compassion, and equality—because love does not look one way, and it does not belong to only some. We are honored to document love stories in all their forms and to create space where every couple feels welcomed, supported, and genuinely celebrated.

“To say I love my photographer would be an understatement. Our special day was thrown together in 6 weeks, but you couldn’t tell by looking at our pictures. Lauren took the time to speak with me about the moments that were most important to me, and why. After explaining to her that my father had cancer and his diagnosis was a big part of our rush, she made it her mission to capture every smile every tear every dance and every look my husband and I shared, and my father shared with everyone in attendance, especially me. She set up the first look between my husband son and I, she understood my vision and my need to be different, her artistic eye and attention to detail turned a broken down roadside stand into the perfect fall/Halloween backdrop for our first look. When it came time for my father to see me, before our guest, she set him up, back turned and captured every smile, and every tear he and shared in that moment. She created memories for myself, my husband and our family, and froze them in time with pictures that I will always treasure, and I couldn’t be happier and anymore grateful for how much love and dedication she poured into making sure our special day and every moment of it was captured”

Our goal is to help everyone remember one of the best nights by telling your story through our eyes. There is no better compliment than for you to show your loved ones what happened through one of the best days of your lives.

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience during our engagement shoot! From the moment we arrived, the energy was infectious — we were laughing, moving, and genuinely having the time of our lives. It never once felt like a photoshoot; it felt like spending the afternoon with a friend who just happened to have a camera. What truly set our photographer apart was the perfect balance of fun and professionalism. They kept the session lighthearted and exciting while never losing their sharp eye for the details that make a photo extraordinary — the way the light hit just right, thoughtful staging of every scene, and gentle, natural posing direction that made us both feel completely at ease in front of the camera. No stiff, awkward poses here — every shot felt candid and authentic. Their patience was also something we deeply appreciated. They never rushed us, always made sure we were comfortable, and took the time to get each shot exactly right. You can feel that care and intentionality in every single image. And the final photos? Absolutely stunning. The quality speaks for itself — crisp, vibrant, and full of genuine emotion. We are so in love with every single one and will treasure them forever. If you are on the fence, consider this your sign to book them immediately. You will not regret it for a single second. We are already counting down the days until our wedding so we can work with them again!”

Ashley's work is quick and exactly like the pictures people show her , with great attention to detail. I'm so grateful to have found such a talented and professional beauty team to work with on my special day.”

The host was incredibly knowledgeable about the different wines and explained each pairing in a way that was both informative and fun. The bonbons were absolutely stunning to look at and featured such beautiful, unique flavors that paired perfectly with each wine. It was a truly memorable experience, and we can’t wait to attend another event! Highly recommend!”

My love for photography was born when I picked up a camera and started shooting street photography as a hobby. This hobby quickly took over my entire life! Thankfully, combined with my editing and retouching skills, I was able to turn my passion into a career. Owning and running Wild Hearts has been the one of my greatest joys! I love truly love capturing your real life moments and emotions. Yes I am organized as hell and type A, but balance that with heavy doses of standing back and just capturing the moment as it’s happening. I feel a real connection with all the wild hearts out there, and would love it if you let me capture yours!

“We got the best photos from our wedding using kamelia as our photographer! From the very beginning she was very supportive and knowledgeable all things wedding. She created a timeline of the day for us, that she did a perfect job of sticking to! We had a meeting to go over what kinds of pictures we were looking for and we were able to get all of them done and more without a hitch! The photos came back SO quick, and we woke up to the most gorgeous sneak peaks the morning after our wedding! The photos are true works of art, that capture all the emotions ranging from sentimental to silly. We had a great time shooting with her and were able to have a lot of fun while doing so! We would highly recommend kamelia if you’re looking for stunning photos of your wedding from a super efficient and skilled photographer!”

“Ashley and her team helped make our day perfect. They made sure all my decor was setup beautifully, including some 100 candles between the ceremony and reception, and everything ran smoothly. If anything went wrong, I have no idea what it is. Ashley also did my flowers, not only was it one less thing for me to worry about, since she and her team would be there anyway making everything look right, but the flowers were perfect!”
