“I can’t recommend Victoria enough! I reached out to her nearly two years ago with what I thought was a “laundry list” of questions, and I’ll be honest—I was skeptical at first about hiring a wedding planner. I wasn’t sure if it would be worth the investment. But Victoria immediately put my worries to rest with her detailed, thoughtful responses. From that very first interaction, I knew she was the right choice. I initially booked her vendor package, where she scheduled and coordinated all of our vendors, but eventually upgraded to include decor and other little details because, honestly, wedding planning can get overwhelming! Victoria was my rock throughout the entire process—especially in the week leading up to our big day. As someone who tends to overthink, having her there to guide me, reassure me, and manage the details was priceless. On our wedding day, everything went off without a hitch. Victoria’s attention to detail and calm presence ensured that the day was as perfect as we had imagined. My only regret? Not snapping a photo with her amidst all the excitement! If you’re considering a wedding planner, Victoria is worth every penny. She doesn’t just plan weddings—she creates an experience that allows you to truly enjoy your day without stress”

One can hardly describe the magic of a wedding morning. The soft hum of anticipation, the laughter tucked between moments, and the memories that will linger long after. Together with your stylist, your look is planned in careful detail, harmonizing with your dress, your vision, and the vibe you are creating. On the day, we arrive prepared with artistry and expertise, letting the morning unfold effortlessly. Every look is created to feel timeless in photographs, yet as natural as it is refined.

“Meghan did an incredible job on my wedding day!! She was attentive to all the different hairstyles my bridesmaids and my mom and my mother-in law asked for. She did multiple touch ups to make sure everyone looked the way they wanted to on the way out the door, and she did not stop until everyone was happy with their look! I changed my mind from my trial after seeing one of my bridesmaid's style, and Meghan adapted quickly! My hair stayed in place the whole wedding night and everyone commented on how beautiful it looked. You want to hire Meghan because of her skill but also her reliability. She was prompt and timely, and anyone who has planned a wedding knows how many moving pieces there are and how hard it can be to find someone reliable and talented and that's exactly who Meghan is!”

I’m based in Connecticut and have a studio in New London. I love working with couples who are excited to celebrate their story. Whether you’re planning a small or a big celebration, I’d be honored to be part of it.

“We had such a great experience working with Jeshalee Photography And Events. From our first conversation, she was upfront about what to expect and genuinely excited about capturing our day. During the wedding, she did so much more than just take photos—she helped our guests feel welcomed, jumped in to grab food and drinks when we needed them, and kept everyone smiling the whole time. The images came back sharp and beautiful, and we had them fast. She brought such a warm energy to everything she did, making our day feel special. We'd absolutely recommend Jeshalee to any couple looking for a photographer who cares about more than just the shots.”

“Shakeup Makeup is the perfect company for your wedding day makeup. The owner, Marisa, is an absolute pleasure to work with and is a true artist when it comes to makeup. We had set up a trial day before the wedding and I could not be happier. And somehow, on the day of the wedding, the final product was even more stunning! Marisa is personable, professional, and knows her craft. My makeup and the makeup she did for the entire wedding party lasted all day and night, even though we danced with great intensity and really put it to the test! I did not have to touch up my makeup once throughout the night and got many compliments on how it looked. Do not hesitate to book Shakeup Makeup for your next wedding or event!”

“My husband Alex and I got married in June of this year at Eolia Mansion. After nearly two years meticulously planning our big day I just knew that we needed the right person to help us pull it off, and wow did Abby exceed expectations and boy did we wish we had worked with her earlier on. Abby truly went above and beyond for us from helping with our timelines and floor plan, to executing our decor and managing vendors on a VERY short load in/load out window, to instructing our family/friends. To this day our close friends and family continue to say how amazing Abby was and have had nothing but the highest words about what an incredible job she did so that we could all just be in the moment and enjoy our special day!! Just to top it all off at the very end of the evening my husband accidentally left his keys behind and Abby drove out of the way to drop them off at our after party. Thank you Abby for everything!!”

“Eve (Evermore Beauty) was an absolute joy to work with for my wedding day! Her communication was clear, and she made sure to understand the look I was going for, including looking at photos and explaining what would/wouldn’t work with my coloring or features. I had never seen myself look so good with a face of makeup. On my wedding day, I got so many comments on my hair and makeup. The hair stylist I worked with through Evermore, Rachael, also went above and beyond. My hair wasn’t cooperating during my trial so she sent me home with some clarifying shampoo, conditioner, and hair mask to use before we tried a second trial. She wanted to make sure my hair met my vision. Eve and Rachael were wonderful with my flower girls, too. I would highly recommend Evermore Beauty to any bride and bridal party!”
