We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer/videographer duo than Ryan and Brad. From the second we met them, they took all of our anxieties away and made us feel comfortable and at ease- even though we aren’t the type of people who love being in front of the camera. Our wedding was very recent so we don’t have all of our pictures / video, but the previews we saw were absolutely amazing. Not only incredible photographers, but incredible people- they took time out of their own day to scope out the most perfect spots for breathtaking pictures. Cannot recommend Willow Photo co enough.

She wrangled the vendors prior to the day of and she helped me keep my cool during the stress of the morning. You can tell she's a pro at this! There were times I felt a little underwater in terms of managing an event I had no experience with, and her demeanor was so calming and she handled any last minute things.

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.

We got married at Rosecliff in Newport and booked the Royal Wedding Package with Doorbell Barbers — and from start to finish, the experience was exceptional. I work in finance, so I appreciate when something is organized, high-quality, and delivers — and this did. The custom groomsmen boxes were a great touch, packed with ties, socks, handkerchiefs, cigars, and bourbon, and they set the tone for the day. The massages were a game changer — I didn’t realize how much tension I was carrying until I was on the table, and afterward I felt calm, focused, and genuinely ready to take it all in. The grooming and styling were top-notch; I looked and felt my best, and it absolutely showed in the photos. Every detail was clean, classic, and elevated. Highly recommend Doorbell Barbers if you want a luxury experience for you and your groomsmen that’s seamless, thoughtful, and stress-free — one of the best decisions we made.

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.

We were so thrilled to have Madison as our wedding photographer. From our engagement shoot to the wedding at Fort Adams, she was a total pleasure to work with. We had a little rust being in front of the camera, but one of Madison’s great skills is making you feel comfortable, natural, and helping to pose you. On top of being a pro at what she does, Madison is super down to earth and easy to be around. She also has a great sense of humor and kept us laughing throughout our shoots. Madison nailed the timing of everything on our wedding day — we got the photos we wanted without feeling rushed or missing out on time with each other or our families.

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!

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!

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.

Graeme was wonderful to work with and helped us create the perfect playlist for our special day. Our wedding was a blend of Latin and Irish cultures, and DJ Graeme was excited for the task. He worked with us to organize the types of music which played a vital role in bringing our families together on the dance floor! Graeme was professional, engaging, and made sure everyone had a great time. He also did an excellent job as emcee—keeping the timeline on track and even making announcements in both English and Spanish. He checked in with us, throughout the night to ensure we were ready for the next step of the timeline. He was in contact with our day-of-wedding coordinator through the night, ensuring all was going as planned. We highly recommend Graeme to anyone looking for a great DJ who knows how to keep the party going!
