We had the pleasure of working along side Kristen for a few weddings this season. We found her super easy to work with. She has a great personality, very kind and sweet. We love that her style is super unobtrusive and out of the way, while still capturing the best moments. She makes sure the focus is on the couple on a wedding day by being considerate about where she stands throughout the wedding day, making sure she isn't blocking guests views or her fellow photographers/videographers. Aside from how she is awesome to work with, her photos come out amazing! Kristen is such a talented photographer, we highly recommend!

Kristen is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, we cannot recommend her enough! From the first phone wedding consultation phone call we knew she was the one for us - she was SO down to earth & easy to communicate with throughout the entire process, we didn’t even meet with any other photographers after talking with her. We loved her so much when meeting her for our engagement photos that we had her also photograph our daughter’s 1st birthday a few months before our wedding. She was the perfect addition to our wedding day - her meticulous planning, calm but energetic demeanor, and continuous assurance made us feel so comfortable and you could feel the genuine excitement she felt capturing the special moments! We told her at the end of the night she will definitely be seeing us again to capture any/all future milestones and memories. Thank you for everything Kristen!!

Ryan, Jenn and their team were so great to work with. They were so down to earth, while ensuring to always stay professional. I had a great time throughout the process, and they made sure to always make us feel like our opinions mattered. My wife and I did extensive research before picking a photo/video company as we are in a same sex relationship. We wanted to make sure we were supported like any other couple. Whenever we seen how inclusive and diverse the Willow Co. was, we knew they were the ones. Their work exudes love and peace, and those two qualities were super important to us. Cheers to many more years of business to a great company! Sending our love to you all.

Brittany is so talented and did such a stunning job with our wedding florals!! I had a very vague vision going into floral planning, and Brittany took the very few inspiration pics I provided and ran with it! She was so communicative and attentive to several ad hoc changes and requests. Brittany created bouquets/displays that were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! She was intentional about helping select flowers that would match our theme and make sure our pictures looked magical, but would last in the summer heat. Our guests could not stop complementing them, even days after the wedding!!! We couldn’t be happier and are so excited to recommend Brittany to future brides!!!

Choose from a string quartet, string trio, string duo, or violin soloist. Let's start planning the soundtrack to your happily ever after!

We had the Golden Scroll Soloists perform for our ceremony and cocktail hour at our wedding at OceanCliff this past April, and they were absolutely incredible! From the very beginning, Kevin was so responsive and made the entire process seamless. He provided curated playlists to make things easy, but also gave us the option to customize by selecting individual songs and listening to clips right on their website which we really appreciated. We chose the trio, and it was the perfect fit. We mixed modern songs with some timeless classics, and they brought it all to life beautifully. Our guests kept commenting on how unique and elegant the music was. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and would highly recommend Golden Scroll Soloists to anyone looking for live music for a wedding or special event. Truly a highlight of our day!

Awarded Best of Zola
We hosted both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding at the Galilee Beach Club, and it was everything we hoped for and more. Honestly, we didn’t even know we wanted a beach club wedding when we started planning—we just knew we wanted Narragansett beach vibes. As soon as we saw this venue, we knew it was the perfect fit. The food was incredible. From the very start, the tasting event gave us such a fun preview, and it only got better on the actual wedding weekend. Our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was! We also decided to book our florals through the venue, and that was such a smart choice—the arrangements were stunning and perfectly matched the vibe we wanted, all without the stress of juggling another vendor. A huge shoutout goes to Emily, who was with us every step of the way. She answered countless questions, kept in touch with multiple email check-ins, and made sure every detail was thought of. On the wedding day itself, she was a total rockstar—calm, attentive, and making sure everything ran seamlessly. Even when a light drizzle came through, she and the team handled it effortlessly and kept the energy high. The rest of the staff was equally amazing. Everyone was so professional, kind, and genuinely fun to be around—it made the whole weekend feel so comfortable and celebratory. And of course, the venue itself is absolutely beautiful. We had about 100 guests, and having our ceremony right on the beach was the perfect mix of relaxed and romantic. The setting made for such a special backdrop, and it felt like the true Narragansett beach wedding we always envisioned (even before we realized we wanted a beach club!). We are beyond grateful we chose the Galilee Beach Club. From planning to the final sendoff, the entire experience was flawless. If you’re dreaming of a wedding with amazing food, incredible staff, and the most gorgeous beach setting, this is the place.

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!

If you are looking for a florist in the Rhode Island area, look no further. Ayla did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding florals! Right from the beginning I loved her style and knew she had great instincts and vision. I told her what I was looking for generally, but she brought it to life in ways I never could have imagined. All of our florals were perfect for each space, and she was super helpful in thinking about how to use our budget for maximum impact. So many people commented on how beautiful the florals were and I am so so happy with how it all turned out. She captured our exact vibe we were going for - wild, not too fussy, summer, fun and was such a pleasure to work with. There are a lot of vendors out there and it can be really hard to wade through them all, but hiring Ayla and Shade Studio will truly be a no regrets decision!

For the biggest day of your life, you can't look anything less than brilliant. The morning of your wedding, we bring our team to sharpen up the gents. With our straight razor shaves, haircuts & styling, the groom and his party will be shining for the main event and photo shoots. We're great at tying bow ties and we won't forget the bourbon, cigars and music.

As the father of the bride, I wanted to give my future son-in-law something truly memorable before he married my daughter at Rosecliff—and booking Doorbell Barbers for the morning of the wedding at Little Gold Newport turned out to be one of the most meaningful experiences of the day. What Christian brought to the table was so much more than expert grooming (though his craftsmanship is absolutely master-level). It was a bonding experience—he cued up music from Greece, poured us his homemade wine, laid out cured meats he’d brought himself, and turned that morning into something special we’ll never forget. His attention to detail was impeccable, from the precision of the shaves to the way he personalized every moment. He’s not just talented—he’s a genuinely good guy with a calm, easy presence that put everyone at ease. I can’t thank him enough for the memories he helped create that morning.

When searching for a photographer, I was overwhelmed by the number of options available. Dominique didn’t make me feel pressured. She provided us with her wedding guide, which gave us insight into who she is. When we met remotely, I instantly knew she was the one. She was enthusiastic, listened attentively, and asked us questions about what is important to us leading up to the wedding and beyond. She was great to work with, and I knew what to expect.

I knew I needed someone to help me on my wedding day because I did a lot of things myself (flowers, decor, etc), and I didn't want my family or friends to worry about any of it. Sea Breeze Events was on top of EVERYTHING from the moment they arrived at our hotel to the moment they left at the very end of the night. They helped keep everything on track, helped ensure all of my photography wants & needs got done, and even helped to stay and clean up EVERYTHING at the end of the night.

I think you might be here because you're a little turned off by performative wedding photography. Maybe you don't even want a wedding photographer, exactly. Maybe you just want a good photographer to photograph your wedding. A lot of the people I work with describe themselves as anti-bride. Not anti-wedding.

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!

Jamie, was amazing to work with!! I cannot recommend her enough. For a bride who really had no clue what sort of flowers would be good, Jamie was extremely helpful, stayed within our budget, and our flowers ended up being one of our favorite parts of the wedding. She was calm, responsive, and clearly an expert in creating beautiful floral arrangements. Absolutely a pleasure to work with and took my limited direction and made our day beautiful!!

We cannot say enough great things about Love by the Ocean co. Nick truly collaborates with you to bring your vision to life and is truly so accommodating. He was always so quick to email or call me back if I had any questions or concerns. Nick made the whole process so easy and comfortable. He did our engagement photos and our wedding photos and we couldn’t be happier with how they came out. His editing style is incredible. It feels natural yet enhanced. His way with light is incredible. We really couldn’t be happier with the experience love by the ocean co provided nor the quality of work we received. If we ever need a photographer again, we will most certainly be calling Love by the Ocean co again!

We knew from the second we met with Christine that Plant Girl Shop was going to be our florist. She was so fast to respond, and had ideas that were both cost friendly and made the room look beautiful. We were obsessed with her, and couldn't be more thankful that we found her and her team at Plant Girl Shop. For a couple that didn't think we cared too much about florals going into the planning process, we were blown away by the work of this team. Make this your first and only call for florals!

Loved working with Jackie! We fell in love with having flower lapels instead standard boutonnières, although she hadn’t made one before she a few samples and figured out how to make them for her us and they came out amazing. Friends and family still talk about how beautiful everything looked. Couldn’t be happier would definitely recommend her and would 100% with her again.

Have it your way! That is my philosophy. There are so many different tastes and styles to accommodate, so I work extra hard to make your day exactly how you want it. What's the secret? I listen! I pay attention to each individual client and their own needs. I've been using this philosophy for years, and it has been working quite well! I am constantly learning more about my first love: Music! As a Master of Ceremonies, the philosophy is the same. I never say too much, it is not about me! It's about the client, and I never want to outshine or take any of their attention away.

We hired Graeme as our wedding DJ for our big day, and it was one of the best decisions I ever made! In all seriousness, the best vibe curator we could have asked for. He was extremely easy to work with, is very experienced, organized, personable and makes everyone feel special. Most importantly, Graeme is fun! He realizes the importance of weddings, despite how many he's done - and he took extra care in making ours special, memorable and personalized. There is no doubt he knows what he's doing, and he makes sure everyone is happy and having a great time. Not only does he take care of absolutely everything - he goes FAR above and beyond. We had my now sister-in-law and her husband sing our first dance song (they traveled from out of town) and Graeme was able to arrange a guitar to make it extra special and perfect - convenience for everyone! I also didn't know what my first dance song would be with my dad, because my dad was adamant about surprising me and ended up creating a "mash-up" of special songs from my childhood, and was only able to do this because of Graeme and his willingness to go above and beyond (and the "mash-up" was under 2 minutes, which I am SURE Graeme also helped direct ;) ) - Our wedding day simply would not have been the same without him. If you are looking for a DJ for your wedding, look NO further. From before the ceremony to "shutting the place down" he managed it flawlessly every step of the way and we are so thankful for him. Weeks later we're still getting comments on how great our DJ was - I would recommend him over and over again if I could. Thank you Graeme!!
