They provided live music during our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner, and then Kevin seamlessly transitioned to DJ duties from a curated playlist we created together. Having one vendor handle both the live performance and DJ services made the day flow effortlessly, and guests haven't stopped talking about the music. Kevin even took care of the sound equipment for our officiant, handling details we didn't even have to ask about.

Nicole is incredible. Not only is she super talented, but she is a professional! I was in Rhode Island for a friends wedding, and had booked Nicole for my own in September. I needed to schedule a trial with her, and last minute, she offered to come to my hotel room and do the trial right then and there! Within 24 hours, she confirmed my trial for my own wedding and was at my hotel room ready to rock. She was accommodating and listened to all my feedback. She even asked me if there was anything I would change. After giving her feedback, she went in and made the makeup and hair perfect. I felt Gorgeous, glamorous and just beautiful. She took notes of the specifics for my day and told me what products she recommended I buy - like the lip combo she used. The fact that she got me ready and did my trial for my friends wedding was just unbelievable. I cannot recommend Nicole enough. If you’re unsure about booking a makeup artist or hair stylist, I’m telling you- Nicole is it. She is fun, light hearted and personable and really put me at ease. I cant Wait till September when she does my makeup for MY wedding! She’s the best!

Awarded Best of Zola
When I was looking for floral vendors for my July 2024 wedding in Block Island, I came across Ayla’s Instagram, and I knew immediately I had to work with her. I fell in love with the whimsical, natural, English-garden vibe of her florals, and I just thought she was the coolest person. From the first conversation we had, it felt like she “got” me, suggesting flowers, designs, and concepts better than I could possibly articulate myself. She was incredibly thoughtful putting together multiple proposals that fit our vision and our budget. The entire planning process couldn’t have been easier because of how sweet, communicative, and easy Ayla was to work with. Cut to the wedding day, and I was honestly speechless seeing her work come to life in our tent. Ayla is an ARTIST. She created a gorgeous 65 ft table runner for our head table that was so dreamy I still think about it. The bouquets were exactly what I was looking for - natural and simple but packed a stunning punch. Then there was the tent entrance installation, which was so beautiful on its own but also so thoughtfully designed to enhance the view and setting of our venue. Multiple guests came up to me on the wedding day (and even in the weeks afterwards) commenting on how the florals were some of the most unique and beautiful they had seen. I truly could go on and on. Ayla and her amazing team at shade studio exceeded every expectation a million times over. Hands down, Ayla is the best and I couldn’t recommend her more.

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.

I was honestly feeling pretty stressed leading up to the big day, but the moment Christian and his team arrived, everything shifted. The setup was immaculate—the products were top-shelf, the presentation was elevated, and the full-body massage? Next level. I actually fell asleep on the table. Getting a deep, professional massage on the morning of your wedding should be the gold standard for every groom—it completely centered me and set the tone for the day. The shaves were perfect, the haircuts were crisp, and every single one of my guys looked 10/10. It turned what could’ve been a chaotic morning into an unforgettable experience. No exaggeration—after my wedding, every one of my engaged friends booked Doorbell Barbers for their own.

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.

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. They just don't want the day to feel like a list of things to get through.

I had the pleasure of working with Madison this past summer for a wedding I was the florist for. As another vendor, I can't express how impressed I was with Maddie's demeanor for the day. She was such a joy to be around - she managed to be laid back yet kept the ball moving with the couples timeline. She found all the best lighting and scoped out all of the best backdrops for the couple and the end result was absolutely flawless! As a florist, I was blown away when she sent me the full album and had captured so many floral shots. I would love to work with Madison again in the future and would recommend her to all couples looking for a genuine, intuitive, talented and heartfelt photographer.

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!

Nick from Love by the Ocean Co is AMAZING! We chose him as a photographer because we fell in love with his style, showcasing the natural colors or nature and our surroundings. Not only did we get the most amazing photographs of our wedding day, we got so much more! From the communication before our wedding day, to the great energy, he made us feel so comfortable getting our photos done. We would recommend him to all! The 200 photo sneak peek less than 48 hours after our wedding was truly amazing!

We were over the moon with the floral arrangements and service from the Plant Girl Shop for our wedding! From our initial consultation, they were extremely responsive, detail-oriented, and honest when helping us create our vision. The final floral was simply breathtaking - it exceeded our expectations and brought our wedding dreams to life. Their arrangements perfectly complemented our venue and color palette. We received so many compliments from our guests and other vendors! The Plant Girl Shop's work is incredible, especially considering their reasonable prices. We felt they provided amazing value. Throughout the entire planning process, they were a dream to work with - extremely thorough in nailing down all the details and checking in regularly as the big day approached. We'd give them more than 5 stars if we could. Any couple would be lucky to have the Plant Girl Shop create the floral arrangements for their special day. We'd recommend them in a heartbeat and will certainly be using them again in the future!

I absolutely loved working with Jackie and would highly recommend her for your wedding! She was able to take my color palette and modest budget was able to create beautiful florals. Jackie was so easy to work with, responsive, and checked in with me on things that I didn’t even think to ask about. She created a PowerPoint for me to help me break down and decide exactly what I was envisioning. My florals were everything I envisioned and more! I couldn’t have asked for a better florist to work with.

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.

My husband and I had some strong opinions about the music that should be played at our wedding - for example, no classic wedding songs or oldies. We asked Graeme to cater to the younger crew at our wedding (70% of our wedding guests were 35 or younger) and he delivered. Once we opened the dance floor I never saw anyone sitting down again for the rest of the night. The tent rental company had told me that the dance floor I wanted to rent was much larger then needed for our weddings size but Graeme was able to keep it full and even over flowing all night long. He knows how to throw a party! In addition we had an outdoor ceremony and even though the wedding wasn't particularity large (98 guests) the space he needed to make music & sound work for was very large and far away from an electrical source. Graeme worked directly with my venue to ensure he had everything he needed to make the day go off without a hitch.
