I had been seeing Ashley regularly to help with my skin when I got engaged and started planning my wedding. I said my 17 year old cousin would be doing my makeup because I simply was overwhelmed with decision making. Ashley said absolutely not, immediately freed her schedule for my wedding date and did not stop helping me along the way. Booking Ashley was more than just a day of service, she is an incredible business woman, is very organized, and genuinely cares about all her clients.

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.

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.

Hi there! My name is Madison and I am a wedding photographer based in the beautiful seaside town of Newport, Rhode Island. Although I call Newport home, I provide my services to couples throughout the greater New England area and am always willing to travel worldwide for my clients' special days. I have always been passionate about capturing life's most special moments through my camera lens, and there's nothing quite like the magic of a wedding day. I consider it an honor and privilege to document the love story of each unique couple I work with.

Awarded Best of Zola
Madison photographed my destination wedding in Antigua in June of 2024 and I could not have asked for a better photographer! We had a unique request for only candid photos throughout our three nights of events (we wanted the only posed photos to be quick group shots with family and friends right after our ceremony). She was so excited by the idea and over-delivered on all our wishes. She captured so many candid moments of my husband and me, of us celebrating with our dearest friends and family, and special moments of our guests that we hadn't gotten to see. The photos came out so beautifully, it's hard to believe they were truly candid and unplanned. It was such a gift to have these memories preserved; going through our wedding albums was like re-living all three days because she captured us in the middle of the memories as we made them. She has such an incredible talent and ability to capture the essence of each person she photographs. The lighting and aesthetic of the photos was also exactly as I had hoped, and each stage of each event was captured beautifully so that it transports us right back. We also wanted Madison to be a part of our celebration, and every single guest who interacted with her had the most gushing, glowing things to say about how lovely she is. I heard from so many of our guests that they completely forgot she was taking photos - she was so non-intrusive when she was shooting, so she was able to capture actual candid moments without people even realizing she was doing it. Madison was an asset and gift in every way during our celebrations, and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a photographer. She delivered on every wish we had, and was just such a pleasure to have at our events, lending a calm, sweet, and always helpful presence. She became a part of our friends and family as much as she was our photographer during our wedding. We are so grateful for her and will treasure the stunning photos she took for us forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
Liza photographed our small intimate wedding. From the outset, she set out to make sure the day went smoothly and that we would get the best pictures possible on our special day. We explained to her that our wedding would consist of a very short ceremony and a dinner. The rest of the night would be some games and hanging out, but no dancing. Our original vision was to have her photograph the ceremony, group shots, and the dinner and skip couple portraits. After consulting with her, she recommended skipping the dinner photos (nobody looks good while eating) and photographing the ceremony, group shots, and, since our package left us with a remaining hour, plan for couple portraits before our ceremony. It was great advice and we're happy to have the couple portraits! On the day of she was very approachable and made us feel comfortable during our private session. She was clear when directing and arranging folks for the group photos. All of the pictures turned out great! I would definitely recommend Liza for any wedding or special occasion!

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.

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!

Hello! My name is Diane. I have been designing wedding cakes as well as cakes for all occasions since the year 1998! That’s 27 years and counting! I started making cakes when I was 13 years old. I had my daughter in 1998 and decided I did not want to be away from her. So I started making cakes here and there for friends and family. Over the years I have turned my love of baking and decorating into a full time career. I’m one of those lucky people who loves what I do ! Mostly, I love when people come to me after their event and let me know how happy they were with their cake! I’d love to also be a part of YOUR special day!

Diane's Delectables was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding! From the moment we reached out, Diane always replied quickly and was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail and creativity is truly amazing - she made the most beautiful and delicious wedding cake for our special day on 10/10/10. In fact, we've been coming back to Diane for all of our family's cake needs, including cakes for my son, granddaughter, and mother's birthdays. Once you try her moist, decadent cakes, you'll keep coming back for more. We cannot recommend Diane's Delectables highly enough!

Alex and the IT'S LIT Weddings & Events team were fantastic to work with for our wedding. Their communication was quick, resourceful and helpful throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work was excellent - they were super fun to collaborate with and made the day run smoothly from start to finish. They provided DJ services, a photo booth, uplighting and custom giant letters that added such a special touch. Alex even helped create a custom song for a special dance with my mom, making our day even more magical. The party kept going the whole night and we didn't want it to end! I highly recommend IT'S LIT Weddings & Events for any couple looking to make their wedding day unforgettable.

We had such an amazing day in Newport, RI getting ready in the Belle Mer bridal suite with Kaydee and Liz. Both ladies were AMAZING and made my bridesmaids and I all look our best for the wedding. For my wedding look I wanted a half-up, halfdown look with natural make-up (but not too natural, if you know what I mean) - and Kaydee absoluetly nailed it. I couldn't have been happier with how everything went.

My name is Shelby Simone and I hope to get to know you as we come together for your family's big moments. I am a mom of 3 based in Rhode Island. I photograph weddings and family sessions throughout New England but travel nationally and internationally. I love what photography provides - memories. Photos help you remember the moment you said, "I do", those tiny newborn feet, and how much your child loved their first visit to the beach. I would be thrilled to help you and your growing family capture those moments that you will remember forever!

Shelby has been with our family since 2019 when she shot our engagement photos. Since then she has become one of our favorite people! From our wedding, to maternity photos, newborn session and our yearly family photos, Shelby is amazing. She’s so fun to work with and always makes our sessions fun and easy! I am so thankful to have met Shelby and can’t wait to use her for years to come.

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.

DJ Graeme Ritchie was the perfect choice for our wedding entertainment. He was a true professional. He dressed appropriately, was on time and honored all our requests. Because our ceremony was at the same venue as our reception, he covered our music set for our ceremony as well and ensured everything went smoothly, even providing a microphone for our service. During the reception he doubled as our Master of Ceremonies keeping tabs on the timing of events as to when they should occur. Our guests were very pleased. We highly recommend DJ Graeme Ritchie for any of your events. You won't be disappointed!
