From the moment we reached out to Weddings by Ms. Ellie, we were impressed by their attentive and caring communication style. They responded to all of our questions quickly and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. On the day of our wedding, Ms. Ellie truly went above and beyond, helping us with everything and blowing us away with her professionalism and expertise.

We held our wedding at The Farms Country Club on November 1, 2025 and it was truly the best night of my life! The Farms Country Club was extremely accommodating with all of our requests from set up to closing the night. It was a one stop shop for us- we were able to get ready/glam there and have our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception on site. We selected to have the buffet option and all of the food was SO fresh and delicious! We received a lot of compliments about how good the food was from our guests. What truly made our experience exceptional was The Farms Country Club’s Wedding Coordinator, Kristi & staff. Kristi went above and beyond in every possible way. We are not members of the country club, but we were treated as if we were from the day we toured the venue. Throughout the planning process, Kristi made us feel supported, heard and genuinely cared for. No idea was too big or too small. On the wedding day, she was calm, attentive and ensured everything ran seamlessly, even when we had to adjust some minor details with seating arrangements and toasts schedules. We didn’t have to worry about one thing. Kristi felt like a lifelong friend after everything was said and done. If you are looking for a venue and staff to really cater to your wedding ideas and make it feel effortless, then I highly recommend The Farms Country Club!!! We truly couldn’t be more happy with The Farms CC grounds, staff and Kristi!

It was amazing having Gaby on-site on my special day. They were very accommodating of last minute changes. My makeup was flawless and lasted all day (and even the next day!). We had a little more trouble with my hair in the back, it fell flat a little earlier than I would have hoped, but could've been accelerated because of the weather (face framing lasted all night and that's what really matters). The makeup and hair on mother of the bride and mother of the groom was absolutely beautiful. I would recommend Brushed!

The granddaughter of two gardeners, I have always felt a connection to the earth through the soil. When someone brings flowers into a room, something changes...an energy, an excitement! I love being able to bring that kind of beauty into peoples lives. I'm a small-town girl who enjoys anything that involves working with my hands from cooking to knitting. I'm a total animal lover (partial to dogs), a die-hard Grey's Anatomy fan, and I take my martinis extra dirty. When I'm not flowering in our studio in Milford, Connecticut, I'm mommin' to three amazing little boys (our dog Pippa and cat, Galaxy).

  • Photographer

  • Serves Wallingford, CT

I am a Connecticut-based wedding and portrait photographer obsessed with candid moments, real emotion, and the connections between human beings. I strive to capture life as we actually live it: full of beauty and roughness, joy and struggle, extravagance and simplicity. When I photograph you, I’m not thinking about getting likes on social media. I’m thinking about what will make your heart grow three times its size. I’m thinking about what will make you ugly-cry, looking back. I’m thinking about you seeing how awesome and truly loved you are.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband I decided to elope, planning the whole event in a week. It was important to me to get great photos to share with the friends and family who wouldn't be with us on the day. As soon as I saw Cate Barry's portfolio, especially with the candid photos, I knew that she was the right person to capture the true spirit of the day. Luckily, she was able to squeeze us into her calendar, and our preliminary meetings with Cate were fantastic: she made sure she understood our priorities—super open to who we are and what we care about—and she acted as friend, therapist, and wedding expert in a very frantic time. She even recommended a fantastic officiant who was exactly our speed. On the day, the three of us met up for some outdoor photos before the ceremony, and while I was afraid my husband and I might be awkward or stiff, Cate put us at ease immediately, and we were smiling with natural poses in no time. Then at the venue, Cate both contributed to and captured the joyful, relaxed atmosphere of the day.  We got our photos in record time, and even when we first flicked through the images on my phone over pizza, we could immediately tell Cate had memorialized the magic of the day, from happy tears to spontaneous jumping up and down with our witnesses. It means a lot to have wonderful pictures to share with our loved ones, and we would work with Cate again in a heartbeat.

We had the most magical experience at Bill Millers Castle. They made the day everything we could have dreamed and more. Every detail was perfect, the food was phenomenal, and they scheduled everything to run smoothly without making us feel like we were stuck to a schedule. We were able to relax and enjoy the day without worry that something was not done or would not be ready. We had every one of our guests tell us it was the best wedding they have ever been too. (and as we are not a young couple most of them have been to a lot of wedding's). Not only was the experience of the day the most amazing, the planning and communication leading up to the day was phenomenal. Victoria was very easy to reach, answered all of our questions, and helped guide us through the process always having tips for us to make sure we got what we wanted. Thank you to Bill Millers Castle for the most amazing day.

As a veteran DJ with 20+ years of experience and 250+ weddings, I create sophisticated, custom music programs based on your tastes. I handle all audio logistics—from timeline planning to day-of run-of-show. Pricing: Evening Celebration ($1,900): Cocktail, Dinner, and Dancing with 2 sound stations and polished MC services. Full Day Experience ($2,500): 3 sound stations plus my battery-powered ceremony system for vows on beaches or gardens—no noisy generators. My resume includes tours in the U.S./Europe/Japan, and playing alongside artists like Drake, Calvin Harris, and LCD Soundsystem. I bring elite professionalism to every event.

As someone with a background in the events and music industry, my standards for production are incredibly high. Edwin (DJ Konsept) completely exceeded them for my wife Emily and my wedding in Montauk, NY. From our first conversation, Edwin was the consummate professional. His communication is exceptional- he is highly responsive, asked detailed questions to understand our specific vision, took careful notes, and was completely open to direction. We gave him a complex, multi-stage run-of-show, and he executed every phase flawlessly. He managed our outdoor ceremony, providing perfectly balanced mics and audio so everyone could hear our vows. He then seamlessly transitioned to setting the mood for our outdoor cocktail hour, and ultimately closed the night out by crushing a high-energy indoor afterparty. He arrived over-prepared with backup equipment and intuitively grasped the distinct musical vibe needed for each portion of the day. Technically, Edwin is a master. His beat-matching, transitions, and ability to read a room's energy are unmatched. He completely avoided the typical "cheesy" wedding tracks, weaving together exactly the right mix to keep our guests engaged. Furthermore, his pricing is incredibly fair and transparent, offering immense value for the high-end talent and peace of mind he brings to the table. If you want an incredibly talented, stress-free professional who operates with style and a cool, collected energy, you need to hire Edwin. He made our wedding day absolutely magical!

I instinctually fell in love with the creativity of floral design and it wasn’t long until Willow & Grey was born. WG creates unique, romantic, and whimsical floral designs for weddings and events in New England. My desire is to curate florals that reflect and celebrate the beauty and magic in life’s most cherished moments.

Renee was the one of the best vendors at my wedding. She has done the florals for my sister's wedding so I knew I was in good hands but she continued to blow me away for my own wedding. From the beginning Renee made planning as easy as possible. Throughout the planning process she was so flexible and even leading up to the wedding was able to add and change things to make my vision perfect. The day of Renee executed everything perfectly. She did not only bouquets and bouts, flower girl baskets, ceremony arch and florals, centerpieces. Renee even drove to my bakery to provide florals for the cake. Everyone turned out exactly as I envisioned, her work was beyond beautiful.

Hi, I’m Rafael, the owner and creative behind JR Media Solutions. I believe wedding days should feel calm, joyful, and fully lived not rushed or staged. While I’m new to Zola, I’ve spent years photographing and filming weddings across Connecticut and beyond, earning over 100 five-star reviews by being dependable, organized, and genuinely invested in my couples. My approach is simple: show up prepared, stay present, and document your day honestly so you can relive it for years to come.

My fiancé and I were so nervous going into our engagement photos, but we were incredibly lucky to find Rafael. From the moment we started, he made the entire experience feel fun, comfortable, and effortless. He has such a natural way of guiding you through poses and moments that gently push you out of your comfort zone while still feeling completely authentic. When we received our photos, everyone we shared them with was absolutely blown away by how beautiful they turned out. Rafael is truly so talented. Booking him as our wedding photographer shortly after our engagement session wasn’t even a question. We wouldn’t want anyone else capturing our special day! He is incredibly accommodating, easy to work with, and genuinely listens to your ideas and vision. He made us feel supported every step of the way. We can’t recommend Rafael enough!

I wanted to say thank you to Alex and Ashley. They did the hair and makeup for my daughter’s wedding last weekend for 6 of us. We all looked amazing! Most of us had pictures for how we wanted our hair and we got exactly what we wanted. My biggest concern was that Lacey and my hair usually doesn’t hold a curl and we planned on a lot of dancing. Our hair looked perfect at the end of the night. When it comes to makeup, we have the Irish red blotchy skin when happy or sad. Ashley used something to hide that. Even though we were very emotional, none of the pictures showed red blotches. Ashley also was an amazing listener when we went for the trial. Lacey kept saying glitter and sparkle (which scared me) but Ashley gave her beautiful sparkle and even ordered a special body glitter. Thank you both!

I can’t even put into words how special my wedding was thanks to The Lake House (but I’m going to try lol). I found this location on Zola and when I contacted the owner, Paul, it was like speaking to an old friend even though we had never met before. He is so sincere and thoughtful and has the best tips and tricks for wedding planning. I never hired a wedding planner and I was a little overwhelmed in the beginning of my planning process but Paul was there every step of the way for me. He answered all my emails filled with dumb questions and he advised me in the best way. Carole, my wedding coordinator at the venue, was an absolute gem as well and made things so easy. My wedding was 11/16/24 (the last wedding of their season!) and I still have guests telling me how fantastic everything was. Especially the FOOD. I truly dream about the filet mignon and tiramisu we had about twice a week lol. I can’t say enough amazing things about this venue. I would have my next birthday party here just so I can see Paul and Carole again and eat more of the delicious food lol. The location is GORGEOUS and they truly made my wedding the best night of my entire life.

Hi, it's Jenni, I am a couples and wedding photographer based in Connecticut. I love hikes and adventures, nature is my natural habitat and my biggest dream is to travel the world. I am hopeless romantic and I will probably shed a tear at every wedding I attend or photograph, so if you see me wipe a tear at your wedding no you didn't lol. I am also a dog mom and I love animals in general, my puppy means the world to me! I am a dedicated, passionate, fun and caring person and I put love in everything I do. I can't wait to work with you!

Working with Jenni was an absolute dream from start to finish. She is the perfect combination of professional, passionate, and fun—and truly a master at her craft. From the moment we connected, I knew she understood exactly the aesthetic I was going for: adorable, classy, and full of warmth. She completely captured the feel I wanted for my wedding day. Throughout the entire journey, Jenni was in constant communication and made me feel so comfortable sharing my thoughts and preferences. She matched my energy right away, and it honestly made my heart warm—I instantly felt I could trust her with my vision, and she delivered in the most beautiful way. On the big day, Jenni was kind, respectful, and incredibly warm with my family and friends. She made me feel so beautiful and confident, and her presence brought such a calming, joyful vibe. And then… the sneak peeks! I audibly gasped when I saw them for the first time—then cried. The photos are exactly what I dreamed of: warm, tender, intimate, and full of love. They captured the heart of our day so perfectly. If you’re looking for someone who will not only give you gorgeous wedding photos but will also make you feel seen, heard, and cared for—Jenni is your person. It was such a pleasure working with her, and I can’t recommend her highly enough!

If you’re a bride on the fence about hiring a coordinator—trust me when I say you will want Raquel, in your corner. She is truly a saint dropped on this earth for brides everywhere! As a Type A bride, I knew I needed someone who could match my level of organization—but what I found in Raquel was so much more. From the moment we signed with her, she stayed consistently connected and fully invested. She never missed a beat when it came to vendor communication, design details, timelines, or logistics. More importantly, she took the time to truly understand us—our vision for the day, our personalities, and even our family dynamics (the good, the bad, and everything in between). Raquel is calm, collected, and incredibly organized—exactly the energy every bride needs. On our wedding day, she was essentially our stunt double: always in sync, always one step ahead! She greeted and managed every vendor, kept the day moving seamlessly, and allowed me to fully enjoy special moments with my bridesmaids without worrying about a single detail. She came prepared with her own wedding-day emergency kit—something I didn’t realize the value of until it saved the day multiple times. From reinforcing my bustle (more than once!), lint-rolling my husband’s jacket before photos, to literally sewing a groomsman’s ripped pants —Raquel handled it all effortlessly. You would never have known anything went wrong, because the entire day felt flawless. She has an incredible intuition—knowing exactly when to give us space to enjoy our guests and dance, and when to step in with support (whether it was another bustle fix or a quick heel-to-slipper change later in the night). Raquel doesn’t just guide you through planning and execute the day perfectly—she becomes fully invested in your wedding. She celebrates it with you, and even relives it when your photos and videos arrive, as if it were her own! Hiring Raquel was hands-down one of the best decisions we made, and we truly owe the seamlessness and joy of our day to her!

Emma at First Blush Floral & Planning was an absolute treasure to work with, and we couldn't recommend her more. As a wedding couple who had to pivot unexpectedly from original vendor and venue plans, the minute I got on a call with Emma, I knew she would be perfect in helping our vision come to life. Cool, calm, collected, organized and knowledgeable, she listened to what we wanted and made it come to life. We felt so reassured that we also added Fist Blush's planning services on to our floral package. It was such peace of mind in those final weeks (and the big day) to know she was behind the scenes of it all. Forever grateful! The pouring rain and day-of chaos stood no chance.
