Hey! I’m Nico Zottos, a wedding videographer based out of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. A little about me - I’ve been in the wedding industry for over ten years. I started out playing bass guitar in a wedding band while I was still in high school and I quickly fell in love with everything about weddings. The energy of the day was intoxicating and I knew after witnessing so many different love stories that I wanted to take a more meaningful role in preserving those memories - that’s when I transitioned into filmmaking. Since then I’ve been lucky enough to tell the unique and amazing stories of couples from all across the country.

He also worked closely with us to customize a package that aligned with our budget and vision, which made the process so much easier.

Finding the perfect spot for our rehearsal dinner felt like searching for a hidden gem. We needed a venue that could comfortably hold 150 guests, offered a delicious menu, and had a charming atmosphere. Thankfully, our hunt led us to Portsmouth Gas Light's 3rd floor! From the moment we stepped into this beautiful downtown building (conveniently close to a parking garage!), we knew it was special. But what truly made the night unforgettable was Michelle, the Function Manager. Michelle was an absolute rockstar! She helped us navigate everything with ease, from handling dietary restrictions to selecting the perfect menu options and ensuring all our needs were met.

The Hawthorn Portsmouth NH 
Portsmouth, NH

Our story begins in 1858 when Frank Jones arrived in Portsmouth with a dream of brewing ale. Within three decades, The Frank Jones Brewery became the largest ale producer in the country. As ale production expanded, the brewery added a cooperage and scald house to clean the barrels. Workers used scalding hot rocks to sanitize barrels because soap and water would cause them to warp. Once cleaned, the barrels were filled with Jones’ signature ales. The Hawthorn now occupies this Scald House, retaining its original red-brick walls, towering beams, and industrial windows. “Cheers,” then, has a whole new meaning at The Hawthorn. When you raise your glass at your event, you’ll be toasting in a place that’s positively brewing with Portsmouth ale-making heritage and local history.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had Daniel as our DJ for our wedding last week, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. From the very beginning, he was so easy to work with — relaxed, professional, and incredibly organized. His music platform made it simple for us to curate our ideal wedding playlist, and he took the time to really understand our vision — what we loved, what we didn’t, and the overall vibe we wanted for the day. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Daniel was so communicative and made sure we felt completely comfortable and confident before the big day. He even provided microphones for our ceremony (even though we had a string quartet for our ceremony and cocktail hour) and had the perfect lighting setup for the dance floor, which added so much energy to the night. And when it came time to dance — the dance floor was packed all night long. He read the crowd perfectly, kept the momentum going, and played music that truly reflected us. We loved that he wasn’t heavy on the mic; he let the music speak for itself and created such an amazing atmosphere. Our guests are still raving about how great the DJ was! Daniel went above and beyond in every way, and we’re so grateful to him for making our night unforgettable. We can’t recommend him highly enough — if you’re looking for a DJ who genuinely cares, listens, and absolutely delivers, Daniel is your guy!

  • Serves Portsmouth, NH

Hello! I’m Kaileigh, owner of Weddings by Kaileigh, LLC. I established my business in April 2023, and have done over 50 weddings in the last three seasons. I was a teacher for 11 years, so planning and coordinating comes naturally to me. I also ran the hospitality committee at my school. Most importantly, I'm a mom of two amazing, little humans and a wife to a supportive husband. I love to garden, be outside and go adventuring with my kids. In 2023, I took a leap and started my next adventure in the wedding planning industry, and got my wedding planning certificate. I am also a venue coordinator part-time.

Awarded Best of Zola
This one is going to be long because we have so many things to say about this incredible woman. I don’t even know where to start with Kaileigh. We found her on Zola at the early stages of planning and we’re so beyond grateful and thrilled to have had her with us through this journey. She is so incredibly organized, on top of everything, prompt, efficient, kept us on track and so supportive. She is super creative and had so many great ideas that brought our vision to life and made it even better than we imagined. Planning with her was fun, easy and very enjoyable. She was at all of our vendor meetings, asked questions we never thought to ask, and made sure we were happy with everything at every point and was easy to pivot. As we approached our big day, she just continued to blow us away and we felt so much less stress than I think most people probably feel. We knew we were in the best hands with Kaileigh who had our back, knew our vision and who we knew we could count on. Her work can be somewhat chaotic I would imagine, but you’d never be able to tell by looking at her. She is so poised, calm, composed, competent, decisive, efficient, energetic, professional and dynamic. One of my favorite things I noticed working with her is her undeniable joy and love for this industry and what she does. She is in her element and it is clear to anyone who observes her that this is where she belongs. This work fuels her and she invests so much of herself in everything she does. Not only is she so wickedly talented and smart, she is just so kind, sweet, compassionate, funny, lighthearted and just the coolest human. It didn’t take long for us to fall in love with her and just want to be her friend. By the time our rehearsal rolled around, I felt like it was weird that she was just present for the event and not sitting at the table with us! At this point we just considered her our friend and just wanted to hang out and celebrate with her! Going into our wedding day, I felt a sense of calm I never, ever thought I would be able to experience. I’m a person that struggles with anxiety, I feel overwhelmed, I overthink and worry about everything and I was convinced I would be beside myself with stress and anxiety on my wedding day but I was completely fine.. I was calm and was able to enjoy my preparation, spending time with my girls and just relax. That is 1000% thanks to Kaileigh. I knew everything was being handled and I trusted her judgement, abilities and knowledge and that it was going to be amazing… and I was right! Walking into this beautiful venue with all of our visions that came to life right in front of me took my breath away. It was GORGEOUS!! Throughout the night, Kaileigh continued to keep everything running smoothly. I needed her quite a few times for different things and she was never far and always ready for whatever it was. She even helped me out of my wedding dress and into a reception dress in tiny stall with barely enough room for one person, let alone two… which tells you the level of comfort one builds with a person like Kaileigh. It was like my sister or my best friend helping me out. She was everywhere all at once and never broke a sweat. We’ve gotten nothing but absolutely raving compliments on her from our friends and family that attended. Everyone noticed how expertly she put this wedding together and how it all went off so perfectly. We are so thankful for her. Do yourself this favor and book Kaileigh for your most important day.

Justin did an INCREDIBLE job at our wedding. His preparation and attention to detail beforehand was immaculate, as he spent over an hour with my partner and me going over the entire wedding day step by step. The sound systems were flawless- everyone could hear our vows during the ceremony and the quality of the sound during the entire day and night was exceptional. He kept our wedding very organized and was the perfect host. Regarding the music selection, he allowed us to make playlists for the cocktail hour and reception which he stuck to using beautiful transitions between songs. Our guests were dancing the entire night! All of our guests said it was the most fun wedding they had ever attended. 10/10 DJ, would definitely recommend him for any event.

My husband and I got married at Granite Rose on October 12th, and we’re still talking about how it was truly the wedding of our dreams. From the moment we first saw the venue (that chandelier sealed the deal!), we knew it was where we wanted to celebrate our day. Every meeting with the team felt fun and upbeat, which made the whole planning process so much easier and genuinely enjoyable. Huge shoutout to Briana, Lily, Anna, and Jillian for supporting us through everything and keeping us on track. Our banquet captain that night, Kerri, made sure our guests were taken care of, and we heard so many compliments about the food and service. Chef Jim, Sous Chef Corey, and their awesome servers, Michael, Phil, and Elijah, really did an amazing job. We also have to rave about our bartender, Mariah. She was hilarious, kind, and just so good at what she does. She added such a fun energy to the night and made it even more special for us and our guests. Can't forget to thank Susanne's Weddings for the amazing floral arrangements and Jacques Pastry Shop for the delicious and perfect wedding cake! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves! We’ll always recommend Granite Rose, or any Wedgewood Weddings venue, to anyone who wants a smooth, enjoyable wedding planning experience. We’re just so grateful for how everything turned out.

I'd say my photography style would be something along the lines of "lifestyle photography". [That means that posing you in silly ways that seem fake / awkward isn't really my jam.] I mean, unless that gets some snuggles & laughs. I'm ALLLL about that. I like to capture REAL life with REAL emotions and REAL smiles. Your session should be relaxed and fun. [All while I get some kick-ass photos!] I will most likely make a giant fool of myself at your session, so you'll feel like a professional. I sing, trip, laugh, make noises, mention inappropriate things, show my nerdiness. AKA YOU'RE GOING TO DO JUST FINE.

Choosing Felisha to be our wedding photographer truly was one of best decisions we made throughout our planning process. Right from the first phone call with her we could feel her excitement, passion and love for being a photographer. She made us feel comfortable and was there with us every step of the way for the whole time we got to work together. We chose to do our engagement photos with her and she knew just how to shake out all our nerves/shyness, making the whole process fun and stress free. The engagement photos were so beautiful and perfect to use for our Save the Dates. On our wedding day, Felisha was a constant source of genuine joy. She worked with our families and the vendor team seamlessly. She was always there to guide us, she kept everyone on time and she reminded me on multiple occasions to take a second to soak everything in. I had numerous family members and friends come up to me to tell me how amazing our photographer was throughout the night and in the weeks that followed. She laughed with our loved ones, she cried with our loved ones and she broke it down on the dance floor with everyone all while taking the most beautiful photos. And don't even get me started on the film! I will never run out of good things to say about Felisha. She photographed moments that we will cherish forever. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and on the day of our wedding she knew exactly how to capture all the special snippets of our day that would mean the most to look back on. We love Felisha and if we could do it again we would absolutely choose her!
