BridgetQ Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
Pawcatuck, CT
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,200

I am a self-proclaimed nerd and total goofball who is always up for an adventure, especially if it means going to the beach. I love to travel. I have been blessed to find “home” on three different continents, and I speak fluent English, Spanish and Portuguese. My husband Mike, sons Javi & Ro, baby Soleil and pup Tag are my greatest motivation. They simultaneously drive me crazy and keep me grounded. The love, strength and energy I get from them shapes my perspective on the world, and is something that I want to share with you. In addition to all that, I happen to be one of the luckiest people in the world – I love my job!

Bridget & her assistant did a PHENOMONAL job photographing my daughter and son-in-law’s wedding last weekend. She somehow managed to capture it all – the couple, the relatives, the venue, the season, the rituals – yet each image stands as a work of art on its own. Especially love the black and white photos sprinkled in with the full color. I guess it comes down to Bridget’s mastery of lighting, and her ability to read the energy of the many different people she photographs. One of her candids has the gorgeous lighting of a Vermeer painting (“Girl with a Pearl Earring”). It you’re looking for the best, look no further.

Stonington Farmhouse 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Pawcatuck, CT
  • Venue
  • Up to 30 guests
  • Raw space
  • Outdoor & indoor

Stonington Farmhouse is a brand new post and beam farmhouse with its own private event barn, made for the whole wedding weekend rather than just one night. The barn seats up to 30 for a rehearsal dinner, welcome party, or Sunday send off brunch, and the house sleeps eight so your wedding party can stay together under one roof. You bring your own caterer and set your own timeline, so the evening unfolds exactly the way you imagine it. Upstairs in the barn there is a lounge with a bar and a golf simulator, and outside there is a firepit for winding down the night. High end finishes meet cozy farmhouse warmth throughout. You are just minutes from Saltwater Farm Vineyard, historic downtown Mystic, and the Stonington shore, which makes it a beautiful and easy home base for everyone traveling in to celebrate with you.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Has an intimate feel for a small guest list
  • Has a glamorous vibe
  • Feels like a getaway

Venue considerations

  • Limited cleanup and setup services
  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • Not for you if you don't want a rustic vibe
Booked the house and barn for our wedding weekend and I'm so glad we kept it through Sunday. The ceremony was elsewhere but we used the barn for an after party / brunch the morning after and it ended up being everyone's favorite part of the trip. Coffee on the porch, the whole wedding party hanging out one last time, zero pressure and no checkout clock chasing us out by noon. The farmhouse is beautiful and clean and the barn is a genuinely special space, not some generic event hall. Plenty of room for our group. Communication was quick and clear from start to finish. If you're getting married anywhere near Stonington and you want your people all in one place for the weekend, this is it. Five stars, would recommend to any couple.

Jeff was amazing! My husband and I got married at the Branford House in Groton CT July 2025 and hired Jeff to take care of all our music and sound for our ceremony and cocktail hour.

The Barns at Wesleyan Hills was an exceptional wedding venue that exceeded our expectations. Their communication throughout the 4-year planning process was always quick, helpful, and informative, which made the entire experience seamless. The quality of their work and overall value was truly remarkable - the venue was beautifully decorated in a dark, romantic style that was well worth the investment. Our day-of coordinator, Sean, was wonderful and so helpful in ensuring we were taken care of on our special day. The only slight downside was that Sean wasn't involved in the full 4-year planning process, so he didn't have the complete picture of our vision. Overall, we highly recommend The Barns at Wesleyan Hills for any couple looking for a rustic, romantic wedding venue with a fantastic team to support them.

Abby is a no brainer hire! Incredibly thoughtful, experienced, knowledgeable, intuitive, comprehensive, kind, and affordable! We were on a pretty tight budget so we hired Abby for her partial planning/day-of coordination and I can’t imagine what we would have done without her. I planned everything myself but as soon as she came on board, I felt so much comfort and relief knowing my wedding was in good hands and I could focus on other things. She is the definition of PRO. We had event staff bail the night before and she was able to find an amazing team of folks to fill their shoes! She ran our rehearsal like a well-oiled machine. She saw me dancing with my new husband with an empty drink in my hand and quickly swooped in to grab it; it’s the little things that tell you she’s putting you first on the most important day of your life. My entire wedding party adored her and even invited her out to the after party! If I could give her 50 stars I would. As my bridesmaids would say, QUEEN ABBY FOREVER. ️

My name is Taylor — I’m a husband, father, teacher, ocean lover, and videographer / editor based out of CT and Cape Cod. I’ve been passionate about photography for as long as I can remember, and deep down I’ve always felt that capturing moments was in some way my calling. A few years ago I began to realize that photographs — even the most compelling ones — are not able to tell an entire story. They provide a powerful glimpse, frozen in time, but even the best photographs are unable to preserve memories and emotions the way that films can.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Taylor was an absolute dream from beginning to end. He was incredibly responsive, professional, and genuinely wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. From our first conversations, it was clear that he truly cared about understanding us, our relationship, and the vision we had for our wedding day. That level of thoughtfulness and intention made him stand out immediately. On the wedding day itself, Taylor went above and beyond. He was present for every important moment while somehow never feeling intrusive. His calm, kind energy made the entire day feel even more special. Knowing that he was there capturing all the little moments throughout the day really allowed us to live in the moment and not worry about making sure a memory was recorded. We initially chose Taylor based on the quality of his work online, but nothing could have prepared us for the videos we received. They are absolutely stunning!!! Watching them brings us right back to the emotions, energy, and joy of the day in a way that photos alone never could. His editing and storytelling are truly next-level — we were in tears at just the sneak peek video!! He truly captured the essence of our wedding day and all the important little details. The value Taylor provides is unmatched. Every penny was worth it, and we would make the same choice again without hesitation. Having these videos to relive such an important day is priceless, and we are endlessly grateful that we trusted Taylor to capture it all. We cannot recommend him highly enough!

The wedding cake they created was the centerpiece of our reception and received endless compliments from our guests on both the beautiful design and delicious taste. Chocolate Rose Bakeshop went above and beyond to ensure our special day was perfect, and I would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented, reliable, and passionate bakery to bring their wedding cake dreams to life.

Hi! I'm Tianna, a New England wedding and destination photographer based in Connecticut. My faith is the foundation of everything apart of me. My family, friends, and my business. I wouldn’t be where I am today without God, & I pray that my clients can see the goodness of the Lord through every stage of working with me! My style reflects my photography: a mix of cottage core & country. Outside of photography, l'm a wife, mama, homebody at heart, and a lover of hot cocoa, fresh sourdough, thrifted finds, intentional living, garden shops, & cozy nights in. Inspired by old love letters, barefoot adventures, and celebrating in the in between!

Cori Alexandra Hair and Makeup Artistry 
Rating: 5.0 (11 reviews)
  • Beauty professional
  • Serves Pawcatuck, CT

Hi! I’m Cori, a bridal hair & makeup artist with over 11 yrs of experience in the bridal industry. I believe wedding day beauty is about more than how you look; it’s about how you feel in one of the most meaningful moments of your life. My goal is to create an experience where you feel confident, supported, & completely yourself. I work closely with you to design a look that feels timeless and elevated while still feeling authentic to who you are. Trials are held in my private studio where we take the time to refine every detail and ensure you feel fully confident in your vision. Above all, it is an honor to be part of such a special day.

Can’t thank Cori enough for making our simple beach side wedding effortlessly beautiful. She somehow juggled my nerves, my four year olds resistance to getting dolled up, and at times a house full of on-lookers watching her make myself, my daughter and my bridal party absolutely beautiful for my wedding. Thank you for everything!
