I can’t recommend The Candlewood Inn enough! We live 2 hours away but had no second thoughts about booking this venue. Not only is the location absolutely gorgeous, but the staff is incredible to work with. Christian and team were so helpful, responsive, accommodating, and kind. There is only 1 event per day, so you get the full focus of the Candlewood team. We also booked the on location bridal suite for the girls to get ready in the morning of the wedding. The space was perfect, and they provided us with so much food. And speaking of the food, it was incredible! Our guests are still telling us how much they enjoyed the food, service, and overall beauty at Candlewood. We had several of them tell us that the 2 hour drive to our wedding was 100% worth it, which is the highest praise I could give!

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).

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
Hiring Merry by Mia was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We chose Merry by Mia as our Day-of Coordinator because of their deep familiarity with our venue, Audrey’s Farmhouse, and from the moment we met Mia, we felt at ease. She and Lindsey were not only incredibly professional, but also warm, approachable, and endlessly helpful. We had so many questions and ideas throughout the planning process, and they always had thoughtful answers or were quick to help troubleshoot. Mia made herself available right from the start, and that constant support made all the difference. On our wedding day, everything ran flawlessly thanks to Lindsey's on-site management, hard work and attention to detail. Even with my own background in event planning, I knew I was in the best hands. Lindsey and Mia coordinated seamlessly with our vendors and made sure every detail aligned with our vision. By the end of the process, they didn’t feel like vendors—they felt like friends. If you’re on the fence about hiring a Day-of Coordinator, trust me: it’s worth it. There are so many moving parts, and having someone who truly understands the ins and outs is invaluable. I feel so lucky to have had them by our side.

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.

To capture it all in a way that feels natural, cinematic, and timeless. But more than just taking photos, I’m here to guide you through the day, making sure you feel comfortable, confident, and fully present in every moment. My style? Cinematic, with a mix of artistic, classic, and documentary influences. That means your photos will feel like a movie—elegant, emotional, and storytelling-driven—while still being true to who you are.

I had the honor of having Vinny capture one of the most important moments of my life, my proposal to my fiancée. I chose him because I knew he would be the perfect person for such a special occasion, and he exceeded every expectation. On a snowy day, during a storm, Vinny never hesitated for a second. 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. My fiancée and I are not used to posing for photos, but Vinny guided us patiently and naturally through every step, making us feel comfortable and confident. His attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism transformed that day into timeless memories. I am deeply grateful for what he did for us and recommend his services without hesitation. Vinny is an outstanding professional who pours his heart into his work, and the results speak for themselves.

Awarded Best of Zola
We booked George to capture our wedding day at an outdoor venue in northern MA. As a photographer myself I have high standards when it comes to photos, so I was very selective when making my choice. But I'm happy to report that we made a great choice with George as his work is top notch. Before the wedding we had 2 phone calls to plan out the many scenes we'd want him to capture. We also shared some light guidance on editing style, which he happily incorporated. On the day of the wedding George arrived promptly (early even, which was good) despite the fact he was driving many hours from CT. George did a great job making people feel comfortable in front of the camera. He seemed very experienced as throughout the day he seamlessly transitioned from the foreground to the background as needed. He was never in the way, but always nearby and ready to jump in and capture whatever was happening. He also captured a variety of types of shots, from the wide, establishing shots to the perfectly composed closeups of intimate moments - with lots of extra detail shots and plenty of candids too. For the ceremony in particular, he displayed his great eye and quick reaction time to document every moment and every angle, including crowd reactions. He came well prepared too with 2 Sony mirrorless cameras and a large off-camera flash to ensure even lighting. From our 8-hour shoot he provided over 1,400 fully edited photos (each 61MP) via a Google Drive download link. We were extremely please with the quality and speed of our portfolio (fully delivered within 2 weeks). On top of that, George happily provided me with the full edited portfolio in TIFF file format, per my request. The file sizes are much larger so I gave him a 512GB USB drive which he loaded and shipped back to me. I really can't say enough good things about George. So just book him now and I know you'll be pleased with the results!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am so grateful she was there for my big day—her presence made everything feel effortless and truly special. From the very beginning, she was incredibly thoughtful and professional. Before the shoot, we met to discuss our ideas, and she took the time to truly understand our vision. Not only did she listen attentively, but she also shared her own creative suggestions based on her research, making everything even better than we had imagined. On the day of the shoot, having her there felt like having a trusted guide and a dear friend by my side, capturing beautiful moments in the most natural way. She created such a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere that I never once worried about how the photos would turn out—I simply enjoyed the moment. Her presence on my ceremony day wasn’t just about taking pictures; she played a key role in making sure everything went smoothly. When we received the final photos, my husband and I were beyond thrilled. Each image felt like a window back to that magical day, filled with love and joy. We couldn’t stop looking at them! Her talent, patience, and warmth made this experience truly unforgettable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who can capture not just pictures, but emotions and memories that last a lifetime.

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. Melanie is talented, professional, and an absolute joy to work with

I have been watching Tamel's work for years, so of course when it was time to pick a makeup artist there was only one way to go. Tamel did my bridal trial and it came out AMAZING. I don't wear makeup much and I have extremely sensitive eyes. He was so patient with me and the chaos my eyes were creating. After all was done, I looked absolutely stunning. My face was beat to the GAWDS!!! I was definitely feeling myself lol. And this was simply the trial. I can not wait to see how I look with his talents and my full wedding look. 10/10 Would highly recommend!

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!
