Underfloor MUSIC was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the moment we connected with Kyle, their communication was quick and efficient, which was so helpful as we were navigating a venue change from New York to Massachusetts. The travel fee they charged for the move was very reasonable, and we were thrilled to have them there to keep the energy high all night long. Underfloor MUSIC brought the absolute best energy and kept the dance floor packed the entire celebration. They played the perfect combinations of songs that had our guests of all ages dancing the night away. I truly believe they were the best DJ I've ever heard at a wedding - they kept the ball rolling seamlessly throughout the entire event. We couldn't have asked for a better musical experience on our special day!

You look at each other and just know that this is exactly how it was supposed to feel. That’s the night you’re planning. You want to be present. You want your people to stay. You want the energy to build instead of fade. And when it’s all said and done, you want to wake up the next morning with a full camera roll and a group chat that won’t stop blowing up. If that’s the kind of night you’re imagining, we're your people and we're rooting for you Let's chat when you're ready

We got married in June 2024, and had Thaddeus as our DJ. Mackenzie took care of the photo-booth. Over the course of the 9 months leading up to the wedding I probably had 4 or 5 calls with Thaddeus to give him the general vibe we were looking for & work out details. He was professional, honest, and gave great feedback. We had many specific asks and Thaddeus made sure all of our wants fit into his plan. Once the party was going, we gave Thaddeus the creative freedom to do his thing & make sure our guests had a good time. He totally delivered. I absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ that can keep the party going! Mackenzie was great to work with as well. Empire State Events got more backdrops to choose from in the middle of our planning, so she gave me the option to switch! I’m glad we did, the eucalyptus backdrop fit perfectly with our vision. Mackenzie was incredibly friendly & ready to help anyone that needed assistance. Our guests loved the photo-booth & our kids/nieces & nephews were entertained too! Win-win!

If I could give Rob and his team 100 stars, I would. You spend more time with your photographer on your wedding day than with almost anyone besides your spouse, and that makes a huge difference. Rob and his team are exactly who you want by your side. They were so kind, so helpful, so calming, and just a joyful presence all day long. We needed a little help with posing, and Rob guided us in a way that felt completely natural. The shots he got are truly insane. We also had a huge wedding party (11 girls, 11 guys), and Rob and his team kept everyone organized and moving all day without missing a beat. I was seriously impressed that he even learned so many first names of our family and friends. Not to mention, every single vendor we worked with had nothing but great things to say about him. Our venue, The Erlowest, was gushing that we had booked Rob. He just gets along with everyone and clearly has an incredible reputation in the industry, and it shows in how smoothly everything ran. And the photos themselves? Incredible. We wanted true-to-color images, and wow, we'll just let the photos speak for themselves. Even during candid moments when we weren't posing, we honestly didn't notice Rob was there. If you're looking for a photographer for your wedding, book Rob.

At Katie O’ Weddings & Events, our goal is to make every client sparkle. This means brighter smiles, louder laughs, and more excitement than you have ever experienced. Sparkling is about being fully immersed in the moment; it’s about being completely present, completely joyful, aware, and moved by all the positive energy and love surrounding you.

Katie O Weddings & Events is simply the BEST! From start to finish, they made our wedding exactly what we envisioned and honestly, even better than we could have imagined. Their attention to detail is unmatched, and their ability to truly listen to our vision and elevate it in ways we didn’t even think of was incredible. As someone who plans large events for a living, I wasn’t sure I needed a wedding planner—but after meeting with Katie and Casey, and understanding all that they offer, I quickly realized just how much I did. Their expertise, organization, and creativity brought everything to life in a way we never could have done on our own. They also helped us put together the most incredible team of vendors, many of whom came from their recommendations, and every single one was amazing. The value they bring through their network alone is huge. They handled every detail so seamlessly that we were able to be fully present and enjoy the entire weekend with our family and friends. What stood out just as much was how they treated our guests, they made our family and friends feel so special and comfortable, like they were their own. The KOWE team goes above and beyond in ways you don’t even realize until you’re in it. I genuinely don’t know how people get married without them!!! I truly loved working with them and honestly miss it! We are so incredibly grateful for Katie & Casey and we could not recommend them more highly to anyone considering a wedding planner (or honestly even if you’re not, I strongly encourage you to meet with them and see just how much they can elevate your entire experience!!) Thank you, Katie & Casey

Justin was lovely to work with from the start. He was booked for another wedding, but he paired us up with Rob, an associate DJ of his. Both Rob and Justin were so so fun to work with. Rob took the time to text or set up whatever zoom calls we felt we needed. For the actual day, Rob was amazing. We had dinner service, reception, and "after party". Robs killed it with his flow between songs, and was incredibly accommodating and flexible if we had any requests in the moment, and was able to dodge or handle any "questionable" song requests that came his way. We knew that he always put my husband and I's wishes first. We also had multiple people comment on how good the DJ was during the reception, and after the fact! He also went above and beyond to pull heroics the day of to get some of our DIY spot lighting set up that wasn't set up the night prior. Rob was incredible to work with, and just as fun to chat with. Will miss working with them, but absolutely will be following their journeys and would use them again in a heartbeat! So thankful for Justin and Rob!

I take pride in the fact that I’m a connector and listener. I love getting to know people and learning and helping to share their stories. And I’m happiest when I’m able to guide people through taking those stories and turning them into something meaningful. Through thoughtful questions and deep conversations, we'll collaborate on crafting your one-of-a-kind wedding ceremony!

Awarded Best of Zola
When we were planning our wedding we originally thought of just asking a friend to marry us. But after learning more about what a good officiant can offer we were incredibly happy to have changed plans and gone with Miriam! Miriam perfectly balanced being both professional and also getting to know us as a couple and individuals. She was very friendly and always a joy to talk to in our calls. The ceremony itself was not something we had given a ton of thought to, and weren’t sure exactly what we wanted outside of having a few concepts (short, secular, not too serious). Miriam was able to offer us advice, recommendations, and guidance throughout the process as we created our ceremony. From sending us examples of readings that fit our vibe, to explaining different unity ceremony ideas and helping us come up with one that fit us, Miriam made what could have been a stressful planning experience into a breeze. Miriam separately reviewed both our private and public vows, gave us feedback to make sure both our tones were the same, and took care of dropping off the paperwork to make the marriage official. We knew we picked the right person when our friends asked us afterwards how long we had to look to find an officiant with the same sense of humor as us. We would absolutely recommend Miriam to anyone asking!

We only needed to tour one venue, and it was Blenheim. After our initial walkthrough of the space, we were convinced that this was everything that we could want in a venue and then some. Having over 12 years of wedding planning experience, Min and Morten offered us assurance that our wedding day would be executed beautifully- and it was. The Blenheim family were incredibly detail-oriented, clear, and responsive during the planning process. They guided us through multiple virtual meetings, providing extensive planning documents to ensure our day would run smoothly. As a person that doesn't love planning, they supported me and offered suggestions- making sure that the day would flow effortlessly. Their natural, open, and beautifully rustic venue was the ideal location for our special celebration; the venue itself reflected us as a couple and we have not stopped receiving compliments on the venue and the attentive and personable staff at Blenheim. The food was absolutely delicious - our guests raved about the amazing appetizers during cocktail hour. We had many last-minute changes and the Blenheim team did not miss a beat in executing our every wish. We are so grateful to have found Blenheim Hill Farm and we cannot thank them enough for making our wedding day perfect in every way!

It’s hard to even put into words how much Normanside and its staff mean to us. I will rave about Normanside for the rest of my life, and I’m so grateful we chose them for our wedding. Starting from the very beginning, the person we owe the most credit to is Jaimie. She made the planning process seamless and helped all the stress fade away. She was available at any hour of the day (seriously, I’m not kidding!). I was always amazed by how quickly she responded, and then I realized that’s just who she is. From our tastings down to the very last moments of our wedding day, Jaimie executed every detail we asked for…and then some. She has an incredible eye for detail and helped make our reception absolutely gorgeous. If I could make a pocket-sized version of Jaimie and carry her around with me for the rest of my life, I would. The rest of the staff were just as amazing. Our families and guests had such a blast with our bartender, Rick, and seeing two of the younger staff members jump out on the dance floor later in the evening was such a fun surprise! Normanside never made us feel like a burden- everyone was enthusiastic, kind, and eager to help in any way they could. Our guys had so much fun golfing on Friday, and on the wedding day itself, we never had a single worry because we knew Jaimie and the staff had everything handled. The food, the venue, the service- everything was exceptional. To them, it may have been just another weekend, but they made us feel like our wedding was just as important to them as it was to us. That is something we will never forget!

Hi friend! I'm Becca. Ever since I was little, I wanted to listen to others stories and share them with others. As a result of a college photography class that I loved and my dad's love of nature photography, I was gifted a camera after graduation, and I never stopped! I started taking photos at a performing arts center and became mesmerized with capturing joy. I have been in the wedding industry since I was fourteen and have been taking photos professionally since 2019.

Becca was wonderful to work with, her talent really showed on our wedding day. I especially loved her ability to take photos in the moment. I never felt like I was dedicating too much time to photos during the wedding and I had a great time working with her. Becca is truly also such a kind individual, we had a DIY outside wedding and she always checked in with us asking if we needed any help or needed to take a break. That’s something above and beyond what any photographer needs to do. In addition, our photos came back super fast and were absolutely stunning. There was a ton of photos to look at days after the wedding which was great to be able to share with my family and friends. I would 100% recommend Becca to anyone looking for an engagement photo or wedding photographer she really captured more than I ever dreamed of with our photos and I really enjoyed working with her.

Wedding Planning Plus was an excellent choice for our wedding planning needs for our June 2025 wedding at the Equniox Resort in Manchester, VT. From the start, their communication style was direct, helpful, and calming, which was greatly appreciated as we planned our big day. The quality of their work and value they provided was outstanding - they were focused, supportive, and incredibly well-connected in the region, using their network of vendors to perfectly execute our wedding and beautifully and bringing our garden party tent reception vision to life. On the day of, Eliza ran the schedule effortlessly and her competence completely allowed my husband and I to be fully present. In particular, we appreciated the way that she approached us over the course of the wedding to check if we still wanted to do the next scheduled item, it gave us a sense of control over how we spent our time rather than feeling like we were manically running from task to task. So many of our friends and family have reported back that the wedding was the smoothest of the weddings they had attended this year, and its all thanks to WPP.

Hi, I’m Bridget — but you can call me Bee, cause that’s what my friends call me! And since we’re basically already best friends, let me tell you a secret: taking pictures isn’t even the thing I love most about my job. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m as obsessed with taking gorgeous, dripping-in-light photos that you’ll look back on for ages as much as the next photographer. But what I really love? Meeting the most kind-hearted people and getting to know them on a level much deeper than the typical client-photographer relationship.

Bridget is magical. We were extremely fortunate to have such a capable, kind, communicative, and creative photographer helping us capture our special day. From the moment we had our first consultation, she was there for us, offering guidance and support every step of the way. We even got our dream engagement photo-shoot with her in the Fall to compliment our Summer wedding date. Most importantly, Bridget really captured who we are as a couple. We didn't have too many specific ideas going into our photos, but her suggestions were always spot on and brought out the best in us in every shot. Bridget is truly and uniquely talented; we highly recommend her.

Photographing weddings and elopements is a privilege that I do not take lightly. I treat each moment with as much care as if it were my own! While I am happy to take on weddings of any size, I specialize in intimate weddings or engagement sessions where I can embrace a documentary, candid approach. My favorite moments to capture are those quiet, unplanned interactions. I adore the small details. The moments that sometimes get overlooked but often times help tell the story of your wedding day the most. I thrive with couples who aren’t afraid to be silly and embrace the moments as they come as opposed to forcing it.

Hello ! first and foremost, congratulations on your engagement as you embark on this new chapter of your lives. My name is Kevin and I started the ground work Kozmo Photography back in 2014. My goal has always been to capture the uniqueness of each and every couple on the biggest day of their journey together. It is therefore my belief that a great wedding photographer must be able to capture the big and small details throughout the day with minimal interference while being keenly aware of the surrounding conditions. This is my promise as I strive to deliver to each and every couple the wedding photos they deserve.

My husband and I were both a little nervous about getting our photos taken. Kevin's package included an engagement shoot which was so helpful to break the ice and get us comfortable with the pictures and with Kevin. He is so down to earth, friendly, and gave great guidance and support! He is so responsive and I love how quickly he shares previews of the pictures. On the day of the wedding, it honestly felt like Kevin was part of the family. I've LOVED the pictures we've seen and would hire him for any pictures we have going forward. Thank you, Kevin!!!

I am so glad that I hired Taylor!! She is the absolute best!! She did such a great job with everyone's glam. I have never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day, many thanks to her! My makeup looked perfect, holding up through tears, sweat, and kisses. Even from the trial, I was so impressed with Taylor's work. She's incredibly talented, but also such a kind, funny, sweet person to work with. She brought amazing energy on the morning of my wedding, making everyone feel beautiful and confident. I absolutely loved having her and would hire her 100x more!

Helen at Brookledge was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding!! From our very first interaction, the whole team was communicative, helpful, and really kind. The venue itself has a completely magical vibe, and was the perfect space for our forest wedding in the trees. I had originally hoped to get married in the redwoods in CA, but the The Camp Chapel (one option for a ceremony space) was the absolute next best thing. Helen went above and beyond throughout the weekend (even printed my updated vows last minute!!) to ensure everything ran smoothly, and everyone's attention to detail made our wedding day feel more magical than we could have ever dreamed of!! We are so grateful to Helen and the whole Brookledge team -- if you love glamping and want to get married in the trees -- THIS IS THE VENUE FOR YOU!! 1000/10 recommend! (Just because there isn't another public place to leave this, if you go with Brookledge, as you 10000% should!! don't choose Jake Allen as your DJ - just use another recommended vendor for music! )

Jenna was absolutely the best decision we made in the entire wedding process. Not only does she produce incredible work but she also has the most amazing aura about her. On a very busy and bustling day, she remained calm and brought a light hearted fun energy. It truly feels like one of your best friends is taking your photos. It was exactly what I needed on that day. I feel so very blessed that we had Jenna as our photographer. The number of compliments I have received on our photos is CRAZY and that is all thanks to Jenna. I would recommend Jenna to literally everyone that I know! Her work is beautiful, her energy is amazing, and she is so organized. What more could a bride want?! Do yourself a favor and book Jenna!

I couldn't be happier with my decision to book Brenna for my wedding day! Not only is she an absolute sweetheart, she is a fantastic makeup artist! She did an amazing job on my makeup look as well as my bridesmaids. She paid attention to everyone's inspo pics and provided recommendations on what she thought would look best (and she was right!). She is so fun to talk to and brought such a positive energy to my wedding day. I was so pleased with how my makeup look turned out and it lasted all night (through many, many happy tears). I would absolutely recommend Brenna and will definitely be booking her for future events!

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I got married two days ago, and hiring DJ Chris Johnston was one of the best decisions we made. I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation. I could not wait to write him a review. Music was really important to us, and we have pretty eclectic tastes, with different genres and must-play songs we each cared about. I was getting a bit stressed during the planning process, but Chris was incredibly patient and easy to work with. After meeting with him, it became clear the best approach was to give him our key songs and overall vibe, then trust him to read the room, that turned out to be exactly right. Our wedding crowd was diverse in age and music preferences, and Chris handled it perfectly. He seamlessly balanced different styles and kept the dance floor going all night. In just the past two days, we've had people of all ages tell us how great the music was. This is just one example of many messages we've received: "I don't know who picked your music selection, but it was the best ever. It had a lot of our kind of music, then switched back and forth with the younger generation's music. Loved it!" What's impressive is that while he played our must-play songs, a lot of the night was driven by his instincts, and he absolutely nailed it. We're incredibly grateful for his role in making our night so memorable. If you're considering a DJ, book Chris, you won't regret it.

Hi, I'm Jaci Berkopec! A self portrait of me would include a frozen pizza, caesar salad bag, and a bottle of white wine. But more importantly I am a wedding, lifestyle and adventure elopement photographer based out of NYC. Weddings and elopements are one of my passions because witnessing love and marriage is one of the most beautiful things we can witness. When shooting with me, expect to have tons of fun and lots of laughs because I like to be weird! Life is too short to be normal! I photograph all types of love.

We 1000000% recommend Jaci for any of your photography needs! She took our engagement photos and shot our wedding last weekend and she is an absolute DREAM to work with. Her confidence, poise, warmth and positivity helped us stay calm and have fun during the busy wedding day. We heard so many compliments from our loved ones who were also so impressed with her attitude and demeanor. And this is all before we saw the photos: her work is UNREAL. We are truly blown away- they are stunning, and capture the JOY and FUN and LOVE we experienced. I get emotional looking at just the sneak peek gallery because it so beautifully memorializes what it felt like on that day, and now we can share it with our grandparents who couldn't make the journey, and ourselves for decades to come. HIRE JACI!!!

My wedding experience at Birch Hill was incredible, and I owe so much of that to Serena and her amazing team! We started the booking process in early March, hoping for a September/October wedding date, and thankfully found one that worked. Serena was an absolute goddess from start to finish—she gave us a thorough tour of all the location options, answered every question, and made the entire process feel effortless. We knew almost immediately that no other venue would compare! Since we were on a tight timeline, I reached out to Serena frequently with questions, and she always responded promptly and thoroughly. By our 90-day planning meeting, we were already so comfortable with everything, and Serena guided us seamlessly through food choices (of which there were so many!) and other details. Her expertise really shone through when I wasn’t sure about certain things; she made it all so simple and stress-free. On the big day, I felt so confident in Serena and her team—it was like everything was taken care of before I could even think about it. I truly felt like I had nothing to worry about and could be fully present in every moment, which made the day even more magical. They thought of every detail, big and small, allowing me to simply enjoy and soak it all in. Speaking of the food—it was hands down the best meal I’ve ever had! We chose the Cocktail Style package and went with a wide range of options, including crispy calamari with lemon-garlic aioli, French onion soup, cider bacon-wrapped chicken, pulled pork wonton bites, and mini grilled cheeses with tomato soup shooters, among others. Every single bite was phenomenal! The prime rib was cooked to perfection, and the mashed potato bar and pasta station were crowd favorites. Our guests raved about the gourmet French fry station that we had later in the night. While we handpicked the items, I genuinely believe that anything else on their menu would have been just as amazing—the quality and flavors were out of this world. At the end of the night, everything was packed up perfectly and already in my car before I even stopped partying! If I had to give any constructive feedback, it would be about the bridal suite. It was a very warm day for late September, and the air conditioning hadn’t been turned on before we arrived, so the suite was quite hot initially. Other than that, our ceremony by the pond was absolutely beautiful. While the mosquitos and some goose droppings were a minor annoyance, the setting was otherwise perfect and so romantic. All in all, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Serena’s commitment and attention to detail made our wedding truly unforgettable!
