They were super communicative throughout the entire process, always responding promptly to our questions and providing helpful suggestions.

Atlas and Stone was our wedding photographers and we couldn't be happier with everything they provided us. From the beginning they were so approachable about our wishes, and worked with us to make sure we were happy with everything. We loved our engagement shoot which kicked off working with Kevin and Jess. The photos were stunning and they deliver them in a timely manner. At our wedding they truly captured every moment we could've wanted, and the gorgeous editing of the photos is unmatched. We are so grateful to Kevin and Jess and couldn't recommend them further for capturing your big day!

  • Serves South Dartmouth, MA

Hey everyone! My name is Kadasia! I started professionally working as a makeup artist since 2020! I’ve always loved makeup, and how it makes me feel, and love the opportunity to share that with others! I’ve made men and women look and feel their best on various occasions, from birthdays and photoshoots to weddings and public appearances! As a mother of 2, I understand the importance of self care and feeling confident about yourself! I believe in inclusivity and equality and that everyone deserves to feel their best!

Makeup by Kadasia was a true professional and pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From our very first consultation, Kadasia demonstrated a deep knowledge of her craft and was incredibly understanding of my skin concerns and insecurities. She took the time to thoroughly explain every product she was using and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the entire process. The quality of her work was excellent - my makeup looked flawless and natural, and lasted beautifully from the ceremony all the way through the reception. Kadasia's compassionate and calming presence was a true asset on our hectic wedding day. I highly recommend Makeup by Kadasia to any couple looking for a skilled, personable, and value-driven beauty professional to be part of their special day.

Seascape Florals

Seascape Florals is a wedding florist located in Kingston, MA. Led by owner Holly, Seascape Florals has worked with couples throughout Massachusetts to help make their wedding day even more beautiful. They would be honored to design your day to be as unique as your love story.

Awarded Best of Zola
In 2020, my then-fiancé and I decided to elope four hours away from home in the mountains of New Hampshire! I knew that I wanted a bouquet (and to still feel like a bride) but I wasn’t sure how that would hold up in transport. After consulting with Holly at Seascape Florals, she recommended going with a bouquet of silk flowers and greenery. Following that initial consultation, we corresponded several times leading up to my big day and she created multiple bouquets to make sure she gave me exactly what I was looking for. We were so impressed by her professionalism, kindness, and skill that when we decided to host a small reception it was a no-brainer to book Seascape Florals for that function as well. Even on short notice, Holly delivered! She captured my vision perfectly and was so detail-oriented, adding touches throughout the space that I would never have thought of. Choosing to go through with a wedding and reception during the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic came with a lot of rules and they were constantly changing. Even though it was stressful to keep up with what we were - and were not - allowed to do, Holly never missed a beat! I couldn’t recommend Seascape Florals more to any couples looking for a florist.

We also offer planning services for elopements, micro weddings, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, welcome parties, post wedding brunch, engagement parties, anniversaries, and baby showers. We can't wait to celebrate with you!

Awarded Best of Zola
As someone who had an unfortunate experience with a wedding planner scamming me (aka I paid her a deposit and she ghosted me), believe me when I say Breanna is the real deal. I signed her for partial planning services and she did not disappoint. For context, I had no idea what I was doing. I had never attended a wedding and my parents are immigrants who didn’t have the whole American wedding experience, so they had even less of a clue of how it works. I knew I’d miss crucial details and needed someone along the way as I was planning all by myself. Breanna came up with timelines, emailed vendors for me, checked in frequently, and gave me solid guidance whenever I needed advice. I think where she really shined was the day of. So if you’re considering it, at the very least sign her to be your day-of coordinator. I’m an extremely organized person, but on the wedding day I didn’t want to be running around. She was extremely professional and responsible throughout the whole day. Breanna was always one step ahead. I arrived at the church, she was already there waiting having organized the wedding party to walk down the aisle. Bus pulled up at the venue, Breanna was already there clipboard in hand. Reception started, Breanna was already next to me asking about my thoughts on the food and how things were going. Another thing — before I said it, she already did it. For example, I was worried my welcome sign didn’t get set up so I asked her. She pointed at the sign. She had already set it up. I was worried about vendors knowing about a change of location. Breanna had already updated every single one of them via email days ago. I was worried about whether I signed the right vendors. Breanna vetted every single one. And they all nailed it on the day of. Like I cried tears of joy for over my photographer and florist and how phenomenal they were. Hear me out. I’ll be the first to admit I have trust issues and I am the person who is very much like “I’d rather do it myself because I know it will get done and get done well. So I’ll just do it.” But girly pop, you can’t do it all. And you shouldn’t have to. Enjoy this moment. Breanna is the planner you can trust. Believe her when she says she’ll do it. Know she will do well. For the first time, I could close my eyes, take a deep breath, and know I had nothing to worry about.

10 stars service at Envision! Held my son’s 500 guest wedding reception (Valima) there on 6/30/24. Christine and her team are amazing! Christine is very culturally aware and respectful of other people’s traditions ( for us it is Indo-Pak and Muslim). She has a lot of experience with this community. She is kind, professional, flexible, and stays calm under challenging situations. Every suggestion she gave was impeccable! Her team kept the food hot and kept the food coming at the buffet table. Very reasonably priced also. Highly highly recommend!!

Derek was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding! Derek himself has a wealth of experience as a wedding DJ and it showed. He was organized, responsive in our communications leading up to the big day, and had a clear understanding of the vibe we were going for. The ceremony and cocktail hour music set the perfect tone, and Derek really shone during the reception by expertly reading the room and playing great songs that kept energy high and had all our guests dancing the night away. The music was a huge hit and we couldn't have asked for a better DJ to keep the party going. Highly recommend!

Nicole is AMAZING. I came to MA with concerns with my hair color as a result of a previous hair stylist in my home state, TX. I messaged her to see if she had availability to fix it. She went above and beyond to help me fix my hair and make me feel more confident for my wedding last minute! Skip to wedding day - She did an amazing job on all of our hair. She was prompt and efficient. She was incredibly friendly and great with all the girls including our little flower girl. She made the morning of stress free and laid back. She gave everyone exactly what they asked for and did a fantastic job. Also, my hair rarely holds a curl and held up all day even with rain and wind! I’d highly recommend Nicole for your big day or any of your hair needs!

What can I say. The Fall River Country Club and Tammy hit it out of the park. I’m not a difficult person but I am a specific one. I don’t expect everyone to be like me, but the whole event and anyone associated with it came within 99% of my expectations. From the meetings, to being able to view it during other set ups, to her answering every question and making all requests and accommodations happen – her and the venue were just fantastic. If you want something all in one place without having to deal with so many different moving parts, then the FRCC and Tammy is the place for you. The venue had ample parking and the food was fantastic! Being organized is key. If you are organized the FRCC will 100% carry out your vision. The bridal sweet is huge, you can order restaurant service if you are going to be there a long time, she opens early if you need it that day … I’d go and look at it, if it checks your boxes, then make the rest of it happen. You will not be sorry. The views are just amazing, the spots for photography both inside and outside are beautiful. The bathrooms were clean and spacious and has a cute nook to put wedding baskets if you so choose. We had the wedding in Nov so I said please, in the common areas please feel free to leave your decor. Very tasteful and the staff, from cook, to bar, to wait staff - just phenomenal. Never sitting still. If you ask a question or needed something they came right back to you, not some half hour later. I can honestly say if planned properly your vision will be executed and your day will be a stress free one. They also had a smaller room upstairs that we reserved for the out of town guests / rehearsal dinner so they could drive to the location and get a lay of the land. We had a diff, more casual menu for that. It came out exactly how we planned.

My husband and I got married at Terrydiddle Farm on June 29, 2024 and it was MAGICAL. Lissa and her team, the impeccable grounds, the horses, the lawn games, Sophie the dog... Everything was absolutely perfect and everything we were looking for. Tons of our guests, friends and family raved about our venue, saying it is the best wedding venue they have ever been to. When we toured Terrydiddle, we said we'd take a bit to think about it, and we called Lisa to confirm 10 minutes after leaving the property. A great perk they have is their "open house" where you can tour the venue while they have it set up for a wedding. It gives you such a great idea of what your day will look like. The bridal suite is so cute and was so helpful for our morning and holding our belongings, the barn and cocktail area is perfect for mingling with people after the ceremony, and the lawn games are just the best touch. Tons of our guests were playing corn hole! The fire pit was awesome for us and our guests too, and we included a cigar table, which was a huge hit! We used Terrydiddle's staff for our bar services, which worked out perfectly. The reception tent is so beautiful and the rental options (arbor, sweetheart table, barrels, etc) make things so helpful for decor purposes and eased some of my stress, as we mostly did mostly DIY. Lissa and her team do an amazing job keeping their property clean and gorgeous. The perfect wedding venue through and through.

Hi there! I'm Morgan. I'm a wedding photographer based in southeastern Massachusetts serving all of New England and beyond. If you feel genuine joy from playful, color-filled photographs, consider this your sign that you’re in the right place!

The minute I saw Morgan's portfolio I just knew we had to hire her for our April wedding. Her photo's were just so vibrant and you could tell that she really loved what she does. Morgan was so communicative during the whole process and made everything so seamless which was such a breath of fresh air when you are planning a wedding. When we first met at our engagement session, you would have thought we were friends with her for years! She is so down to earth and truly makes you feel so comfortable during your session. Morgan thoughtfully helped create a day of timeline for wedding photos and it was so helpful and took a lot of stress off of me. The day of our wedding, Morgan was on time & brought all of the vibes that you want on your wedding day- she even helped me with my veil! My whole wedding party loved her and also felt so comfortable while taking photos because of how fun she makes it. I truly don't even have words to sum up how gorgeous our wedding photos came out! A beautiful mix of classic, and black & white- she captured the day perfectly. Almost a year later and I still look back at her photos probably weekly! Do yourself a favor as a new bride or groom and book with Morgan!! 3

I know you want to be a breathtaking bride with an unforgettable wedding. In order to do that you need gorgeous floral arrangements. The problem is, creating a cohesive vision for your wedding flowers on your own can be challenging. This can leave you feeling overwhelmed, and daunted by the process. I believe flowers are the silent soundtrack of your wedding, setting the mood and ambiance like nothing else can. That’s why I dedicate my 25 years of experience to help brides create personalized arrangements that ensure their wedding is a unique masterpiece.

I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Flowers by the Station. From start to finish, they were phenomenal to work with. We spoke with Jennifer when we began our inquiry and she was so helpful and wonderful. Jordan was the florist who handled our follow-up meeting and headed up the florals for our big day. Everything they put together was stunning and we received so, so many compliments on the flowers! It was exactly what we wanted. They were so thoughtful, communicative, and helped to capture our vision for the big day with beautiful arrangements. They even took the time to scope out our venue with us in order to best advise us on number of arrangements and the best options. I would truly recommend them to everyone I know and would absolutely be a repeat customer in the future for any gatherings or events needing florals!

When I first met Katie she was very warm, kind and professional. I knew immediately that I wanted to work with her for our wedding photography. But that quickly turned into so much more. She helped me with so many pieces of our wedding that I can’t even begin to explain. Her creativity and free spirit are what put the beautiful personal touches on our wedding decor, flowers & photography. I have known Katie now for 3 years. I have worked with her on various occasions from family portraits to boudoir to wedding photos with lots of other unrelated things in between. Each time she has made me (and everyone involved) feel very comfortable and welcome. Her creativity and artistic ability shines through everything she does which makes for such beautiful photos. I really cannot recommend Katie enough - you won’t regret booking!

The venue itself was beautiful, clean, and the perfect size for our 133 guests. The only minor inconvenience was that we were not able to drop off our decor the night before the wedding, and I had to coordinate with friends to bring it on the day of since our ceremony was in Rhode Island at 3pm. The Whaling Museum needs to communicate that with the catering company because they only allow certain catering companies. Come up with a better plan. Overall a great venue!

Molli Bobseine - Hair was absolutely amazing! They created the perfect look for my wedding day, and my hair stayed flawless from the ceremony through the reception. They took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, offered great suggestions, and made me feel so comfortable. Not only was my hair beautiful, but Molli was calm, professional, and such a joy to work with—it really made my day extra special. I couldn’t have been happier with the result! Highly recommend for any bride looking for someone talented and reliable!

​Hi, I'm George Confoey, owner and founder of CE Productions DJ Entertainment. I'd like to thank you for taking the time to preview CE Productions' profile and for considering one of the area's most experienced DJs to provide entertainment for your special day!

We had the pleasure of having George as our DJ at our wedding at Glen Manor House, and he did an incredible job! He kept the party going all night without overly MCing, which allowed our guests to truly enjoy themselves on the dance floor. His music choices were spot-on, creating the perfect atmosphere for our celebration. He seamlessly read the crowd and kept everyone entertained with the right mix of songs. We also really appreciated that he took the time prior to our wedding to hop on multiple phone calls to make sure all of the details were just right. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to help make our special day unforgettable!

Just your local adventure seeking, nature-loving, always smiling behind the lens kind of photographer. I will do just about anything and travel just about anywhere for the perfect shot! When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me snuggled up on the couch next to my fur-babies with about 5 blankets, a bag of potato chips and Gilmore Girls (a classic) playing on the TV.

Kailey was a dream to work with! We loved her from the very beginning with our engagement shoot included in our wedding package. It was so reassuring getting to meet her ahead of time and we cannot stop talking about what a great decision it was to trust her for our wedding day. Our photos came out beautiful and she was both professional and personal every step of the way. Communication was also great, even with a language barrier between some of our family!
