Ashlyn was an absolute rockstar as my wedding makeup artist! She made me feel not only beautiful but totally comfortable through the entire process. She nailed the look I wanted and made sure I still felt like me, just the glowing bride version! Plus, she somehow kept me calm when I was running on pure excitement and caffeine (she even brought me my favorite flavor of celsius, BLESS HER). I can’t thank her enough for making me look and feel amazing on my big day—seriously, my makeup stayed flawless through happy tears and all the dance floor action! Highly recommend Ashlyn if you want to look stunning and have a blast getting ready!

I launched my planning company in 2022 from the mountains of Vermont, after years in the wedding industry learning, growing, and honing my craft. Around here, we do things a little differently. I believe wedding planning should feel like a celebration, not a stress test—and that’s where my signature style of laid-back luxury comes in!

From the moment we started working with Rachel Vitagliano Events, we knew we were in good hands. Rachel was very responsive, friendly, and easy to work with throughout the entire planning process. While we did not have her insight for the entirety of planning, she was wonderful to answer questions and thought of many things we had not! Her professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail were invaluable - She made sure we didn't have to worry about a thing on our wedding day & allowed us to simply enjoy ourselves and take in all the special moments. We cannot recommend Rachel Vitagliano Events enough - she is sweet, lovely, and truly made our wedding day run so smoothly.

Glad you're here. I'd like to tell you a little bit about myself, so when it's time for us to talk, I get to hear all about YOU! I live with my family in the beautiful mountains of Vermont. I feel so blessed to call this state home, it is so incredibly beautiful here.

Nicole was a dream to work with, delivering luxury, timeless photos that will allow us to relive our special day for years to come.

On our wedding day, Nicole and her second shooter thoughtfully considered our shot list to ensure we captured all the moments that mattered most to us. We were also grateful she was able to accommodate our last-minute request for additional coverage without any trouble, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the celebration.

Rutland, VT
  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 12
  • Starts at $900

Our team specializes in luxury on-site hair and makeup for weddings, creating timeless, personalized looks that photograph beautifully and last all day. From soft, romantic styles to full glam, we tailor every detail to enhance your natural beauty and match your wedding vision. With years of experience serving brides across Vermont and beyond, we pride ourselves on professionalism, calm energy, and seamless timelines so you can relax and enjoy every moment of your day. Whether you’re planning an intimate celebration or a full bridal party glam session, Blush is dedicated to making you feel confident, radiant, and completely taken care of.

The team at Blush was absolutely amazing for our wedding at Mountain Top Resort! From our very first communication, they were professional, highly organized, and incredibly easy to work with. On the morning of the wedding, they came directly to our getting-ready suite at the resort. Eliminating the need to travel to a salon made our morning feel so relaxed, seamless, and entirely stress-free. The artists arrived early, set up efficiently, and were incredibly punctual with their timeline. They did a phenomenal job on hair and makeup for myself, my bridesmaids, our flower girl, and my mother in law. What impressed me most was how attentive they were to everyone's individual preferences. They listened carefully to what each person wanted, tailored the looks perfectly, and made sure everyone felt confident and beautiful. Everyone looked absolutely stunning, and the quality of their work speaks for itself. Our hair and makeup held up flawlessly all day and night—which was no small feat, considering that we actually experienced a surprise bout of hail during our outdoor ceremony, followed by hours of dancing on a completely packed dance floor at the reception. Despite the wild weather and the sweat from dancing, not a single curl fell out of place, and our makeup stayed totally fresh without needing touch-ups. If you want a professional, talented, and reliable glam team for your big day, I highly recommend Blush!

I cannot believe we were ever considering not having a videographer after the amazing experience and video we got with Amanda at EightZero2. From the beginning, Amanda was super responsive and open with her thoughts on what would work best for our day (drone footage, raw footage, etc.). The day of, her process was so smooth and seamless - we felt so comfortable around her and she vibed PERFECTLY with our photo team. She got our preview video out to us before we even landed for our honeymoon, and delivered absolutely amazing results. The drone footage added the absolute coolest panoramics, and the editing was perfect (she even reached out to ask if we wanted anything changed after the fact). Would (and already have) highly recommend Amanda to anyone getting married. You will not regret it!

Bridget and Thomas at Farmhouse Flowers were absolutely amazing to work with as the venue, florist, bartenders, and day-of coordinators for our wedding in October 2025. We live in Chicago and planned our wedding from afar, so it was incredible to work with a team that made everything so simple for us. They worked with our other vendors, gave great suggestions for how to structure everything, and really made the whole weekend amazing. Bridget's vision on the florals was incredible; we wanted a colorful wedding, and the flowers really tied everything together. The venue was perfect: it delivered the intimate, Vermont feel we wanted (including a cow named Happy that just so happened to be staying at the farm that weekend) but was also easy to get to and eased any fears about making last-minute changes due to inclement weather. AND Bridget and Thomas cleaned up after the party which made such a difference in our ability to enjoy ourselves. We had an incredible experience and highly recommend.

Emily was the most incredible florist to work with. I am personally not a creative person, but I do LOVE flowers. Real flowers were important to us from the beginning, but we didn’t have an extravagant budget. I was up front with Emily on our budget from the beginning and she helped bring our ideas to life, even when I couldn’t quite articulate what I was looking for. We did end up going a bit over our budget, but not because Emily recommended so, but because she was so easy to work with and I was so excited to bring her ideas in as much as we could. I do not have any regrets here. She created an absolutely stunning chuppah piece that brought our (rain plan) barn ceremony to life. The florals on the tables were the star of the reception with giant breathtaking peonies. And I can’t even express how perfect my bouquet was. I stated from the beginning a wanted a big, wild, and colorful bouquet and boy did she pull through. The men’s boutonnieres complimented the bouquets so well. She was sweet and always available when I wanted to chat through a new idea. Her communication was excellent, with timely check-ins, and easy and clear invoices for payment. I knew where every dollar spent was going, and am so glad we hired her for florals and set-up. Thank you, Emily!! We appreciate you spending your birthday setting up our wedding.

Corinne photographed our August 2025 wedding and she was a fantastic choice! Having the engagement session included in the package was such a bonus. We wanted our engagement shoot at our family camp, which is pretty far off the beaten path, and Corinne didn’t even blink—she happily made the drive out to meet us! As a bride, I wanted a photographer who was calm, kind, and organized on the wedding day, and Corinne was exactly that.

(9/27/25; 130 people) It is hard to sum up how special of a place the Tillerman is. We feel so lucky that we were able to have our wedding there and have endless gratitude for the Tillerman team for giving us the best weekend of our lives. From our first conversation with Kenzie, we immediately felt that this is not your normal wedding venue. Jason, Kate, Kenzie, Merel, and the entire Tillerman team have created an environment and experience that magically combines unique intentionality with flawless execution. As a couple planning from CA, we felt deeply cared for and we always knew we were in the best hands. We were already in love with the Tillerman and their wedding process even before we stepped foot on property. The easiest and best part of the entire planning process was every touchpoint with the Tillerman team. Menu & beverage planning was a joy and the genuine care for sourcing locally, bringing a unique farm to table experience to guests, and letting couples be creative in crafting their event. Merel & Kenzie even made custom menu art and the most incredible printed materials for us. Jason sourced such a fantastic list of beverages for us and we had the kindest, best bartenders. It is a unique combo to be able to give guests incredible food & bev and an incredible, seamless guest experience and the Tillerman cares deeply about both; you can tell it is so woven into their ethos. If I could have Kenzie plan & execute every event in my life I would be thrilled. And truly...I cannot tell you how many people came up to us to say that this was the best wedding food they have ever had. It is incredible what Chef Taylor & the whole team does. In addition to a stunning ceremony location where you can hear the river, to the perfect party barn, to the best accommodations that allowed our families to be together the whole weekend, every nook and cranny at the Tillerman is special. Our guests loved exploring the Cozy and sitting by firepit and I felt like I would blink and the Tillerman had transformed the space and thought of something unique for the guest experience. Every photo is stunning because of the natural beauty of the Tillerman. We also were able to have an incredible family kick off dinner at the restaurant and we all couldn't get enough of the property. We feel so beyond lucky to have found the Tillerman and it will forever be a special place to us. If you are looking for a venue that cares deeply about you as a couple, is the antithesis of a cookie cutter wedding venue, is kind and professional, and goes above & beyond in every aspect, then look no further. We are so grateful for the amount of love and care that was put in by every single person at the Tillerman. We can't wait to be back!

Had my wedding at mountain top on 7/31 and it was everything i could’ve ever dreamed of. All of my guests are still raving about it saying “wedding of the century” and “best wedding I’ve ever been to”. They helped me with all the planning and made the process so much easier. They have so much to offer, from gorgeous views to fun activities. The groom and groomsmen all went skeet shooting the morning of before the wedding and they had so much fun. We rented several guest houses and had the Jewel as our bridal suite and it was absolutely stunning. The staff there was very attentive and helpful. My planner, Miranda, was super helpful and my day of coordinator, Elizabeth, was absolutely amazing. She worked so hard to make the day run smoothly and everything was so perfect. Genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better wedding day and I can’t wait to go back there on our anniversaries and enjoy all that the resort has to offer. It was worth every dime

Our wedding at Sugarbush was perfect. We worked with Carolann who was extremely easy to work with, professional, and made the day of feel completely seamless. We got married in the Claybrook courtyard, held cocktail hour outside Gatehouse, reception inside Gatehouse, and had an after party in the pub. Every detail was excellent - bar service, food, and the team's ability to bring my half baked vision to life. They handled all my questions, last minute requests, and day of coordination. We stayed on-site and our guests loved the hotel. The large suites were great for getting ready and hanging out post events. As the bride, all I had to do was show up where Carolann told me to be and I had the best day. I know there was a whole team working behind the scenes to make that possible and I am so grateful.

We can house up to 50 guests in the 4 houses that are available on our property. We also allow camping anywhere on the 350 acre property and we have an awesome "glamping site" available for rent as well.

We got married at Stickney Farms last weekend, and we really can't explain how wonderful it was. We had all our friends and family stay on the property with us, we used the field for giant games of kickball, volleyball, badminton, and capture the flag. We swam in the waterfalls on the property, walked the trails, and took in the beautiful valley views all day every day. The dancehall was everything you could hope for as a dinner venue - historic, elegant, and magical. The owners are incredibly kind, responsive, and wonderful people. Being able to use the property and do our own food and flowers and everything else let us have exactly the wedding we hoped to have. Every single one of our guests told us that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. I feel like I'm giving away a hidden gem, but we already got married there so now it's ok if this place is booked every weekend!!!!

When I first started wedding photography, I made a goal of being more than just the photographer on your big day. I made it my goal to be your friend, someone you can crack inside jokes with, and someone who isn't afraid to get down + have fun at the reception (while still doing her job). I made it my goal to capture more than just photos, but an experience. Whether it’s high in the mountains, on a beach near the ocean, in a forest meadow - you deserve to get married however you want to & I want to capture it for you.

We were thrilled to work with Hazel & Spice Photography for our wedding day. From our first conversation, Lexi's enthusiasm and kindness made us feel confident we'd made the right choice. She has a gift for making everyone feel at ease in front of the camera, which showed in our engagement session and throughout the wedding day—the photos are absolutely gorgeous. What really stood out was how genuinely invested she was in capturing our relationship and the moments that mattered to us. Beyond her incredible talent behind the lens, Lexi is just a lovely person to be around, which made the whole experience feel special. We couldn't be happier with our decision and highly recommend her to any couple looking for a photographer.

Every detail was perfect, and their hard work made our flowers absolutely stunning. We're so grateful to Emslie the Florist & Gifts for being such an important part of our special day!

I cannot say enough good things about Wild Fern! Cassie and Chelsea bring decades of wedding planning experience and it shows! Everything they do is filled with intention - from the fact that they only take on two weddings a month, to how they divide tasks on wedding day, to the cadence of check-ins during the planning process. I hired Wild Fern to help me with the last three months of planning through our wedding weekend, and Cassie was there to support not only with logistics and vendor meetings, but also with the stress of it all. She anticipated my needs and questions before I could even ask them. I truly don't know if I could have kept my head while crossing the finish line if it weren't for Cassie. Everyone kept commenting how calm I was as a bride on our wedding day, and it was truly because I trusted Cassie and Chelsea and knew they would execute my vision to a T. If you're looking for a high-touch, well-organized planning team with strong vendor relationships, look no further than Wild Fern. As a bonus, they also have a sister business, Wild Fern Rentals, and offer some really stunning statement rentals that will transform your space. I've said to multiple people that hiring them was the best wedding-related purchase I made, and not only did we have a beautiful wedding weekend, but we gained Cassie as a friend for life.

Vermont Bridal Beauty 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
  • Beauty professional
  • Starts at $1,250
  • Serves Rutland, VT

Bridal hair and makeup is a specialized skill - it needs to withstand many hours of happy tears, hugs, dancing, and, of course, dinner and drinks. With over a decade of experience in bridal beauty, Amanda has perfected how to create timeless looks that photograph beautifully and look incredible in person. Her passion for hair and makeup dates back to childhood Barbie spa days. After becoming a licensed cosmetologist everything began to come together when she began to do bridal work. Her love for hair and makeup connected seamlessly and she now focuses her energy in the beauty realm solely on bridal beauty.

Do not hesitate to book Vermont Bridal Beauty if you can!!! I can't say enough great things about their professionalism and artistry. I had Rachael do my wedding hair along with my mom's and 5 bridesmaids. Since I don't live in the area, I skipped the trial, but Rachael FaceTimed me a few weeks beforehand to get to know me and my vision for the day - she even asked about my wedding vibes and what my dress looked like to advise on cohesiveness! I was a little worried about the length of my hair fitting my original vision since I had just gotten it cut, and she sent me a link to inexpensive but high quality extensions to buy, which worked out beautifully, just as she'd promised! Morning of, Rachael arrive promptly and was SO attentive to everyone. She would check in with each girl as she did their hair and made sure everyone was happy with what she was doing, listened to feedback and made changes, and everyone looked and felt so beautiful! My hair (first photo) came out exactly how I pictured and described, but better yet it looked just as good by the end of the night (second photo), and my wedding lasted until 2am with a LOT of dancing and sweat! She also just had such a calming energy which helped keep any nerves at bay. This part is probably won't be applicable to most brides, but I feel is worth mentioning to highlight their professionalism, but one of my bridesmaids was sick the morning of the wedding and opted to sleep in instead of getting hair and makeup done. Rachael immediately told me she would refund me her portion, which she definitely wasn't obligated to since I had booked and signed a contract for a certain amount of services. Bottom line, if you're reading this and thinking about booking with them, do it!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
We were so thrilled with the work WBWeddings did for our wedding. They were a huge support on the day of, even allowing my husband to control the drone when he wanted to! It was wonderful to get drone shots of the ceremony, venue, and overall wedding, and Ben's responsiveness throughout and during the editing process was amazing. Video is one of the things we were on the fence about when we needed to save money throughout planning, but now having seen the final result and being able to reflect on it for years to come, it was EASILY worth it. We were so happy with the final result, and felt it was absolutely worth it. 10/10 would recommend!

  • Serves Rutland, VT

With a background in design and years of experience planning weddings across Vermont and beyond, I create refined, personalized celebrations rooted in beauty, intention, and exceptional guest experience. I partner closely with my couples to understand their vision, style, and priorities, then thoughtfully guide them through the planning process with expertise, creativity, and attention to every detail. My goal is simple: to allow you to be fully present on your wedding day — confident everything is handled and surrounded by people who love you. I'd Iove to help bring it to life.

Julie was the MVP and Fairy Godmother that made our wedding dreams come true. My husband and I were early in the cycle of our friends to get married so didn’t have much wedding attendance experience to go on when thinking about what we wanted our day to look like, let alone how to make that vision come to life. Enter Julie. Early on she helped us figure out what was most important to us by asking thoughtful questions about who we are, and about our relationship. She never pushed her own ideas or vision, and helped guide us to our own conclusions. In the same breath, we often asked her opinion and her experience and insight proved valuable time and again. Her expertise in Vermont weddings shined through at every opportunity. She is incredibly well connected among vendors in the region, helped us get introduced to the right people, and was a great sounding board when it came to costs to make sure we weren’t overpaying or getting taken for a ride. Julie helped us navigate various vendors to make sure we had the right team to make our wedding go as smoothly as possible. Julie did a fantastic job managing our timeline and making sure we were completing tasks and hitting milestones when we needed to. We really felt like Julie was on our team and was invested in making our perfect day come to life. When it came to the big day, execution was flawless. Julie worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure everything went off without a hitch, and her assistant Sydney was the Robin to her Batman. Every detail was remembered, every decoration was in place, and Julie made the whole day flow in a way that seemed effortless. I can’t emphasize enough how incredible her attention to detail is – even down to last minute changes of the smallest things she captured, remembered, and took care of to make our day perfect. Our wedding was everything we wanted it to be, and it was all made possible because of Julie. I can’t recommend her enough and would be happy to speak with any of her perspective clients as a reference.

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Rutland, VT

Garren Poirier is the name and I CAN'T say I've been into photography since my dad gave me a camera back in 1982. I started getting interested in photography in 2004 after I bought my first camera for a trip across the pacific to Indonesia. From that point I was obsessed with taking pictures. I immersed myself in learning about photography through books, the internet and trial and error. My true passion in the beginning was landscape which I believed helped me with other aspects of photography, I love finding new ways to look at the world.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the pleasure of working with Garren at Reading Farms Estate during Agatha and Bartek’s wedding day, and we had such an incredible experience with him and his team. Garren is not only fun and creative, he’s truly passionate about what he does, and couples immediately connect with his energy. He has an incredible ability to stay focused while adapting seamlessly to every moment, ensuring that every small and significant detail is captured with intention. His photography style goes far beyond creating images; it’s art. The way he plays with dark and light contrasts while highlighting the soft shimmer of colors is both beautiful and unmistakably his own. We highly recommend Garren’s artistic expertise and cannot wait to create more beauty together here at our beloved estate. Thank you for all the memories.
