Shelton, CT
  • Event extras
  • Photo booths
  • Starts at $595

Be the Star Photo Booth is a photo booth company servicing weddings and other events, operating out of Shelton, CT. The team is committed to providing professional services from start to finish, using top-of-the-line equipment to create a first-class memorable wedding experience. Be the Star Photo Booth was established in 2013 by husband and wife duo Mark and Denise. The pair have been working together in the entertainment industry since 1996, with years of experience enhancing weddings and events. The team enjoys elevating events with their photo booth, offering couples and guests a take-home token when the celebrations have ceased.

We were a little undecided on whether or not to have a photo booth for our small, backyard wedding and we are SO thrilled that we did! All of our guests had so much fun and loved being able to get copies of their photos. We provided some props of our own, but the props they provided added so much to the experience. As a queer couple, we were very mindful about making sure we had all queer-friendly vendors and Be The Star Photo Booth made us feel so comfortable and at ease. Our attendants, Kyle and Rob, were absolutely PHENOMENAL. They weren't just attendants--it really felt like they were part of the celebration. They were kind, helpful, energetic, and so much fun to have with us as part of the experience. Kyle was so thoughtful and kept all the photo strips my wife and I were in until the end of the night. She even gave us a few 4x6 prints of some cute pictures of us. I highly recommend them and would love to use them again!

HIGHLY recommend! I am so happy we hired Music Mania DJ's for our wedding! Before the wedding: the communication was fast and clear, their website to enter song requests and event details was easy to use, and the price was fair. On our wedding day: they set up stress free, they were on schedule with everything, played a good balance of our song requests mixed with crowd pleasers. The lighting package turned the party UP!!! We had 140 guests in a blank/ standard banquet hall and it felt like dancing at the club. The husband of the DJ duo is a great MC. He made lighthearted but always appropriate jokes, and really committed to dancing. I got the feeling he's not afraid to look a little goofy dancing, which encouraged other people to do the same. Their energy got people on the dance floor and I got feedback from older folks that even if they weren't dancing the duo was fun to watch. Music Mania DJ's added a level of entertainment for our guests that we wanted but didn't know how to provide. As a bride & groom who struggled having "all eyes on us"... I really loved letting these 2 DJ's take the spotlight a few times and 'wow' people with their DJ experience :)

Odeen’s Catering delivered a wedding dining experience that genuinely rivaled some of the best restaurants we’ve been to. The quality of the food was exceptional from start to finish — not just “great for a wedding,” but truly outstanding on its own merits. Every course was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully executed. The ingredients tasted fresh, the flavors were balanced and elevated, and everything was served at the perfect temperature — something that’s incredibly hard to achieve at scale. From the cocktail hour through dinner, there wasn’t a single dish that didn’t impress. What stood out most was the consistency. Whether you were one of the first tables served or the last, the quality never dipped. That level of precision and care is rare in catering, and it did not go unnoticed by our guests — many of whom are serious food lovers and couldn’t stop talking about the meal. Beyond the food, the service was seamless and professional, but it was the culinary experience that truly set Odeen’s apart.

As the bride’s mom, these photos mean the world to me. They didn’t just take pictures, they told a story.

We had the absolute best day ever celebrating our wedding at the Candlewood Inn! From the first tour, their staff was so pleasant, informative, and easy to work with. We also loved that their pricing was very transparent and inclusive. We worked with Haley and she was amazing and prompt answering every question we had coming up to our big day. Our wedding day itself could not have gone smoother. Our bridal attendants Brooke and Delilah were so fun, friendly, and helped us with absolutely anything we needed- we felt like we didn’t have to do anything but enjoy the morning in the beautiful bridal suite. While nobody wishes for a rainy day, we ended up inside and had a gorgeous ceremony in front of the windows. It still felt spacious and our guests definitely did not feel any disruptions to the day. They raved about the food (and there was SO much of it too)! We added on the martini bar and everyone couldn’t stop talking about it the next day. Overall, we had the best experience, and never once felt stressed about the flow of the day. Bonus: they let our dog join us on the grounds for photos. Would 1000% recommend!

Everyone needs an events coordinator whose responsibility is to make sure you--and everyone at the center of the celebration--enjoy the event. Merry by Mia will be in your corner and take away all logistical stress.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Mia made our wedding day impossibly easy and free of stress. She is incredible in every way! The service she provided to us was invaluable throughout the whole wedding planning process. Our wedding was at a relatively full service venue, so I initially wasn't sure whether working with Mia was necessary. However, I can confidently say that reaching out to her was the best decision I made in the entire wedding planning process! I am generally very Type A, so I was less concerned about everything going smoothly on the wedding day and more worried about being able to truly enjoy the day and live in the moment. I stumbled upon Mia's podcast and, after listening to only a handful of episodes, immediately knew I needed to contact her. In the month or so leading up to our wedding day, I felt uncharacteristically at ease, and I am certain that I owe this sense of calm to Mia. Being able to brain dump little details, concerns, etc. to Mia was incredibly helpful. It made me feel like somebody else cared as deeply about everything going right as I did. One particular puzzle involving our transportation was driving me crazy, and I spent several days poring over some possible solutions. I finally decided to send an email to Mia outlining the problem, and within a half hour, she sent back a brilliant, detailed solution that ended up working perfectly. Although I was already impressed by Mia before the wedding day, I couldn't believe just how valuable her services were on the actual day. There were so many points where Mia swooped in to help before I even knew help was needed. She acted as my “eyes and ears” that afternoon as other vendors set everything up at the venue. She was right on top of contacting the trolley company when they were a few minutes late for picking up the wedding party (I actually didn't even know they were running late until later that day, as it was all handled before I even had a chance to stress about it). She was right there with safety pins when a clasp on my dress was faulty. And she even held an umbrella over me to block the sun during photos (not sure where she even got it – she was like Mary Poppins, with the perfect supplies appearing in thin air!) It was almost as if she was in multiple places at the same time. Our wedding party was also grateful to have her phone number throughout the day for anything that came up. At the end of the event, Mia loaded all of the decor into our car and even took many of our leftover florals to a nearby nursing home the next day so they wouldn’t go to waste. I genuinely don't know who would have taken care of things like this if Mia wasn't there. Even now that our wedding day was a few weeks ago, I continue to hear stories of Mia that I didn't even know about. For example, at one point, my mom was trying to help some older relatives call a cab back to their hotel before the end of the night. All of a sudden, Mia appeared by her side and took care of it. I am so grateful to her for handling things like this so my mom could fully enjoy such an important day for our family. If you are unsure about whether you need a day-of coordinator, you will not regret working with Mia! Just knowing Mia was there made my stress level infinitely lower. I truly felt like I could soak up the joy of our wedding day without worrying about the little details and the flow of the day. Thank you, Mia, for playing such a big role in making our wedding day as special as it was!

Despite the freezing cold, he dedicated hours with us in the park, making sure every detail was captured beautifully. The photos turned out extraordinary, truly beyond what we could have imagined. What impressed me the most was his care and dedication.

Shannon and Three Roots were amazing to work with! You can see from the photos (By Jessie Barentsen) below how absolutely stunning our florals were on our day. Throughout the whole planning process Shannon was so easy to communicate with and always had very prompt, timely responses. She was able to take my thoughts and visions bring them together and to life. She was very detail oriented down to having me select ribbons and vessels for our bouquets and florals. She sourced the most beautiful candles and bud vases for us as well. We had some last minute cancellations and cut down 2 tables and she worked with us to reallocate what we had paid for those tables to florals elsewhere in the space to not lose out. On our day there was so much love and hugging the groomsmen boutonnieres were falling off before the ceremony and she made new ones for all of them and placed them on. I cannot recommend Shannon enough!

I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Connecticut and New York with a second home in California, documenting celebrations on both digital and film. I capture moments that feel alive: honest, emotional, and deeply meaningful. While I love beautifully decorated weddings, I’m equally passionate about photographing celebrations that are simple, imperfect, and real.

Bridal Beauty Bliss was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day! They were great at communicating throughout the process, and equally accommodating when I decided to change my hair to a different style after my trial. Ela and Katya did fantastic hair and makeup for my bridesmaids, MIL, and mom. My mom, who doesn't always love how her hair looks when she gets it done, was blown away by the updo Ela did, which made me so happy. Their services are very well-priced, and you can be sure you'll be in good hands if you book them! On the day of the wedding, their calm personalities and caring approach kept us feeling stress-free and looking our absolute best. We couldn't have asked for a better beauty team to be a part of our special day!

Heidi Hanson Photography was an absolute joy to work with and the photos exceeded all expectations! Heidi's warm and attentive communication style put us at ease, and her portfolio had exactly what we were going for- candid, outdoor photos. She helped us feel so comfortable and really enjoy the time together when taking photos - she was efficient and truly understood the feel we wanted. The final photos surpassed our expectations, beautifully documenting all the special moments throughout our wedding day. We appreciated Heidi so much and would highly recommend her.
