As the bride’s mom, these photos mean the world to me. They didn’t just take pictures, they told a story. The way they caught my daughter’s nervous smile before walking down the aisle still makes me tear up. I loved seeing the joy on everyone’s faces, even in the little candid shots. The video is just breathtaking, I’ve already watched it like ten times. I keep sharing the pictures with friends and family and everyone is in awe. I’m so glad my daughter chose them. These memories are priceless and I’ll cherish them forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where to begin with Hannah? We knew her through her husband; my husband and I are musicians, and her husband Jimmy is a drummer I’ve known for years. My husband and I met in a wedding band and have played more than 400 weddings together, so we knew exactly what we wanted and that having a coordinator or planner is a nonnegotiable if you want a seamless event where you do not have to stress. Hannah was able to anticipate issues we did not think of, create a perfect timeline, coordinate vendors, troubleshoot problems on the spot, and keep the timeline flowing ON TIME so we could enjoy our wedding. We believe Hannah was some of the best money spent. You will be in great hands with Hannah Newton Events, and we highly recommend her for all of your event planning needs.

From the moment my (now) husband and I met Raquel, we knew she was the right person to help us make our dream wedding happen. We selected her "partial planning" package and I cannot begin to explain how grateful we are that we did! She is extremely responsive (near instant text replies!! I could never!), open minded and willing to brainstorm, but also an important (yet patient) force in guiding important decision making and keep everyone on task / deadline. Best of all? Raquel is such a wonderful human being, that over the course of the year we became genuine friends. She CARES, and I think that's one of the most incredible things about her (aside from the very obvious talent she has for planning and coordinating weddings).

Merry by Mia

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
One of the big pieces of advice my husband and I first received from married friends was to hire a wedding planner/coordinator and we are SO happy we went with the Merry by Mia team for our May 2024 wedding at Audrey’s Farmhouse! Mia and her team are top-notch, and are incredibly knowledgeable about our venue, to boot! While Merry by Mia bill themselves as “day-of coordinators”, their support really started months before our wedding. From the moment we jumped on our first call with Mia, we knew her team was right for us. She was so warm and excited for us, and was willing to answer any questions we had via phone call, email, and over “office hours” that she hosts on weekends for any couple her team is supporting - even if their “day-of” services haven’t technically started yet. When we weren’t sure about our wedding timeline for the day of, Mia sent us a sample timeline from another May wedding her team had coordinated at our same venue from a previous year. When we had questions about our officiant’s script, Mia sent us the skeleton script she had used when she officiated a wedding, complete with sentence starters for different vows. When we were struggling to find HMU artists who worked with diverse wedding parties, Mia sent us suggestions - one of which we booked and were so so happy with! When we were debating what late-night food to get our guests, Mia said she still dreamed of the Audrey’s team’s chicken fingers…and so of course we went with the chicken fingers - and guess what our guests still talk about?! These are just some of the many examples of how much we really relied on Mia’s expertise and support in the months leading up to the wedding, and how she continually went above and beyond. When it came to our actual wedding coordination, Mia let us know that she wouldn’t be available, and so we’d be working with her colleague Sara, who had actually coordinated Mia’s own wedding. Sara, too, was incredible. From about three months out from the wedding, Sara was in constant contact with us about upcoming vendor deadlines, helping us organize our final timeline, floor plans, and vendor COIs. She liaised with our venue when we had additional questions, and sent us resources for all sorts of things, from figuring out how to get our officiant (a family member) ordained to locating websites where we could generate wedding crosswords for free. Sara assisted us both on the rehearsal night, making sure things went smoothly, and the wedding day. She immediately connected with my family when we arrived, putting my parents at ease, and was wonderfully calm, steady, and supportive on the day of the wedding, from helping set up our tables and making sure all signage was placed appropriately, to helping me get a pollen stain out of my wedding dress with stain remover from her all-encompassing emergency kit, to arranging for an extra seat for a surprise guest who showed up, to getting band-aids and my husband’s and my dancing shoes (Nike Dunks) to us during dinner after my husband developed a blister from his loafers, to packing our decor back up at the end of the night. Mia and Sara had assured us that on the day of the wedding, all the planning we’d done together would pay off and we wouldn’t have to stress about a thing - and I can say our wedding was truly stress-free. Both Mia and Sara ended up feeling like friends by the end of this process, and I am so so glad we put our wedding in their hands.

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 New York and Connecticut. 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. Your florals don’t need to be full, and your venue doesn’t need to be luxurious. What matters most is your connection. I’m especially drawn to noticing the most touching moments in any setting—your emotions, your interactions, and the quiet love you share.

Izzy was an excellent find! Since our first communication, I knew that I wanted to work with her, she had a fast response and explained all the questions I wanted. During our trial, Izzy did an amazing job but not quite what I had in mind and she made it very easy for me to communicate that to her; she was absolutely open to the feedback and we were able to discuss what I wanted to change. On my wedding morning, she was on time and she made it a relaxing and nice environment. We talked all the way through!! The final work was amazing! Exactly what I had in mind!! And even during a heat wave the make up lasted the whole night and I felt sad to clean it up at the end of the night.

The team enjoys elevating events with their photo booth, offering couples and guests a take-home token when the celebrations have ceased.

If you’re wondering whether a photo booth is worth it—stop wondering and book this one. It was pure joy from start to finish. The setup blended beautifully with our rustic-whimsical wedding vibe, and the props? Hilarious, high-quality, and somehow perfect for every guest. But the real stars were the attendants. They weren’t just running a booth—they were part of the celebration. Warm, upbeat, and totally in sync with the energy of the wedding, they kept the line moving, the smiles wide, and the vibe lighthearted. Guests are still texting us about their photo strips, (that were high quality prints I must add) and we now have a scrapbook full of goofy grins, heartfelt moments, that they gave us night of the wedding. If you’re planning an event and want to add a dash of magic, a splash of humor, and a whole lot of memories—this photo booth team delivers. Ten out of ten, would rent again.

Hi, I’m Melanie! I’ve loved photography for as long as I can remember. I have a background in photojournalism with years working in news and creative outlets. That background is at the heart of how I photograph weddings. I’m drawn to real moments, honest emotion, and the story that naturally unfolds when you’re fully present with the people you love. Nothing energizes me more than capturing your wedding day as it truly feels. On your wedding day, I’m not just there to take photos—I’m there to bring your vision to life, hype you up, and tell your story in a way that feels authentic, meaningful, and so you!

We had the absolute best experience working with Melanie. From the very beginning, her communication was excellent and she took the time to schedule multiple video calls just to make sure she fully understood our vision. Our engagement session in New York City went above and beyond anything we imagined. Melanie exceeded every expectation and made the entire experience so much fun and so personal to us. On our wedding day, everything was seamless. Melanie and her team were warm, welcoming, and incredibly calming amidst all the chaos. They made everyone feel comfortable and truly blended into the day while capturing every special moment. Our photos from the wedding perfectly reflect every emotion and memory. Melanie delivered both previews and final photos in a timely manner, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. We truly can’t recommend her enough.

I'm a licensed esthetician and makeup artist. My background is in TV and working for several beauty companies across the country. We do a lot of maternity/family session hair & makeup during the week and weddings on weekends. However, I'm always down for a weekday wedding having eloped myself. Our beauty team specializes in natural makeup applications and romantic hair styling. We travel to you for your special day or event.

The stylists & makeup artists from Eye for Beauty were a fantastic addition to our wedding team! I was thrilled with my bridal hair & makeup and it was nice to work with a single team for all services. Angela absolutely nailed my makeup during our trial and again on wedding day - she achieved the perfect elevated natural look and had a gentle application, which was important to me & my sensitive eyes! I did two hair trials with Jess and I couldn’t be happier with the final result, it really suited my whole bridal look. Jess was very receptive to my feedback after the first trial and was easy to work with both before & on wedding day. Mayra rounded out the styling team for wedding day and my bridal party & mom looked gorgeous. One note for brides - Westport CT is listed as EFB’s location on Zola, but trials take place in Trumbull CT - worth it even if this is a bit further for you, but helpful to know! The ladies from EFB were a delight to have with us the morning of our wedding and had excellent time management (so important!). I would recommend Eye for Beauty!

We couldn't be happier with our wedding photos! Every single picture came out absolutely perfect. She truly captured everything we hoped for. From the sweet, romantic moments between my husband and me to the incredible energy and fun of our celebration with family and friends. Looking through our gallery allows us to relive the entire day all over again. She was so accommodating throughout the entire process, easy to work with, and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. We are beyond grateful for the beautiful memories she captured and will treasure these photos forever. I would highly recommend her to any bride looking for a talented, professional, and wonderful photographer!

Hi there! Thank you so much for considering Emily Engels Photography for your wedding day. I absolutely love capturing love stories and documenting all the genuine, emotional moments that make your day uniquely yours. From the big celebrations to the quiet in-between moments, my goal is to create timeless photos that bring you right back to how everything felt. I’d love to hear more about your vision, your story, and everything you’re dreaming up for your special day. Whether we chat over coffee or hop on a quick call, I’m excited to connect and see if we’re the perfect fit for each other.

Emily was my photographer not only once, twice. My husband and I love having Emily as the person who create memories for us. We are not really photo-friendly lol we are a little bit awkward but Emily makes us look and feel like models!!!! She was our engagement and wedding photographer, we loved her! And as we keep growing our family, Emily for sure is going to be our photographer for maternity pics. As I said it in the title, Don’t think it twice, book Emily!!
