The Flowr Studio 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
West Hartford, CT
  • Florist

Hi, I’m Josslyn, founder and lead designer of The Flowr Studio, a Connecticut-based and Latina-owned floral design studio rooted in artful and intentional design. I’ve always been drawn to the way flowers can completely transform a space. My approach to design is inspired by nature itself, with an emphasis on movement, color, texture, and letting each flower do what it was created to do. Our name, The Flowr Studio, comes from the idea of flow state, that immersive place of focus where time just seems to kind of disappear. I find that same peace and presence when I design, letting flowers guide me as I shape each piece with care.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Joslyn from The Flowr Studio was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our very first conversation, her communication was exceptional, she was responsive, thoughtful, and incredibly organized. She truly listened to what I envisioned and somehow managed to bring it to life even better than I could have imagined. One thing I especially appreciated was that she created a custom inspiration lookbook for us early in the process. It was such a helpful and thoughtful way to ensure we were completely aligned on the vision, style, color palette, and overall feel before the big day. Seeing everything come together visually gave me so much confidence that we were on the same page. Her understanding of my style and vision was spot on, and the flowers were absolutely stunning. Every arrangement felt intentional, beautiful, and perfectly suited to our day. The execution on the wedding day was flawless, and everything was delivered exactly as promised. What really sets her apart is the personal touch she brings to her work. When she delivered my bouquets to the hotel, she included a handwritten card that was so thoughtful and meaningful during such an emotional and exciting moment. Then, a month after the wedding, she reached out again to congratulate us and check in, a gesture that speaks volumes about how much she genuinely cares about her couples. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she is also kind, professional, and invested in making your wedding day special. I cannot recommend her highly enough and would choose her again in a heartbeat.

  • Starts at $1,999

DJ Sam from Atmosphere Productions has been recognized by his peers in the industry as DJ Times - The International Magazine For Professional DJ's as a Mobile DJ of The Month, and was a Founding Member of The Connecticut Professional Disc Jockey Association, rated as a Five Star Entertainer by local brides and is a Couples Choice Award Winner, was featured in Eric and Amanda's winning wedding on the season finale of TLC Television's reality show "FOUR WEDDINGS" and appears in the CNBC Valentines Day special "Love At First Byte" featuring his clients.

Awarded Best of Zola
Believe it our not music was the MOST important thing to me as a bride. Ive had the privilege of working with Atmosphere Productions for many years now as I am a wedding photographer myself. One thing I always knew was, when I’d be working with Sam as a vendor, it would be a stress-free, well coordinated and energetic wedding. His pure love for music is infectious and even on the days when I was exhausted from working for 12 hours, you’d always catch me out on the dance floor if he was the dj. So when I choose him for my own wedding, it felt like a no-brainer. One thing I made clear up front is that a lot of our music might not be typical and that we wanted the music to literally be the soundtrack to the day through our eyes. Music has been a BIG part of our relationship and we wanted that to be part of our wedding just as much. When I worried that my choices in music might be too obscure or not even available- Sam assured me he had everything we choose and more. He understood the “feeling,” we wanted and simply took our suggestions and filled the rest with his picks which we loved since he is the expert! The preparation prior to the wedding was what surprised me the most. Being a wedding photographer I had NO idea what was involved for the DJ. This was very eye opening and Sam took the time to sporadically check in, throughly go through each step of the day and easily accommodated our not-so-traditional families. He asked questions and mapped things out so that by the time the day came I KNEW Sam had everything he needed and even when a couple things changed that day he took care of it like a rockstar. All the care, time and energy Sam provided for our day made him the best choice and his rates match his quality ten times over. Thank you so much Sam for sharing your talent with us and being part of the best day of our lives!

Melanie Ruth Photography

West Hartford, CT
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,200

Photography has always been a passion of mine even after I started my career as a science teacher. I wake up everyday and teach 100+ kids in 9th and 10th grade about the wonder and beauty of the sciences. I also get to wake up everyday with a camera in hand, and connect to loved ones starting out on new paths. I have this strong desire to create art and speak the truth of other’s lives. Everyday I have an excitement for what's to come, and who I will be blessed with to capture. What never meant to become a business, slowly turned into this beautiful opportunity to be connected to so many amazing humans and invest in their lives.

Melanie was the best photographer for our wedding in May 2024 in Boston!!!! She was the perfect combination of professional, fun, on-top of her game, but also super chill and go with the flow. Which is exactly what we were looking for in all of our vendors. She made everyone feel so comfortable and would ask us funny or heart felt questions when we were taking group couple pictures to ensure she captured raw emotion and to keep things interesting. There was never a dull moment. Everyone from our bridal party family came up to me after and said how much they loved Melanie and her team. Couldn't recommend her enough!!!!!!!

I'm a wedding planner who works with MANY vendors all over the state. When I got engaged and it came time to plan my own wedding, it wasn't even a question of who I wanted as my DJ. Gary and Chris aka DJ DopeGod are my favorite vendor duo ever and are always my first choice when my couples need a DJ. And while music is their specialty, Gary's experience as a radio VJ makes him a great wedding MC.

Your wedding day is one of the biggest days of your life! You want to feel beautiful, confident and naturally flawless. The Stately Rose Beauty Studio has a team of talented and trusted hair and makeup professionals, ready to create your ideal wedding look.

Awarded Best of Zola
From start to finish, working with The Stately Rose team was a pleasure. From my initial conversation with Johanna about my vision for my look, I could tell this was the right salon for me and my girls. Her careful attention to detail and genuine care for me as a potential client impressed me. Throughout the process, Yoli, the bridal coordinator, responded to all of my questions promptly and cheerfully. Marielly and Janelle made me feel so comfortable and confident at my trial and were open and responsive to feedback and follow-up questions I had about my own look as well as questions my girls wanted to ask. On my wedding day, my bridesmaids, mom, and I got ready at the pink salon. The space is bright, airy, and full of cute spots for photos. Marielly and Janelle gave each of my girls the same VIP treatment they gave me at my trial and they kept us on time to ensure the rest of the day went smoothly. My group ranged widely in terms of needs (we had hair that was curly, straight, thick, and thin and girls who ranged from wearing little to no makeup regularly to girls who regularly go full glam and wanted bright and colorful looks), and each girl ended up with a look that was perfect for them! Our hair and makeup lasted all night long! While the final product was impressive, what stands out the most to me about working with The Stately Rose was how they made me feel. Every question or concern I had was treated as important (no matter how small) in the lead-up to the day. In the salon, Marielly and Janelle created a positive, fun, relaxed, and empowering environment. They were the ultimate hype-women all morning and they really set the tone for the day moving forward. It was especially meaningful to me how much care our team took in accommodating health and safety concerns among my party; requests we made to keep those with compromised immune systems or allergies comfortable and safe were made without hesitation. We all left the salon to start the rest of the busy and stressful day feeling like our best selves. I could not have asked for a better glam team and I’d recommend The Stately Rose to any bride-to-be without hesitation!

Hi! My name is Matt and I am the owner and head DJ of Style Points DJs. I began DJing in 2016 with my friend Jerry after discovering a mutual love for electronic dance music from the likes of Zedd, Martin Garrix, and Hardwell. I've found an overwhelming passion in DJing and event coordinating, so much so that I've worked tirelessly to do it full-time since 2021. I believe that the DJ is the cornerstone of wedding vendors and I do everything in my power to make sure that I can make the vision of your wedding into a reality.

Awarded Best of Zola
DJ Style Points was incredible to work with and played a huge role in making our wedding night a massive success. Our guest list spanned multiple generations, so we really needed someone who knew how to read the room and keep everyone engaged. Matt understood this perfectly—he had the dance floor packed all night and blended the music seamlessly. Any concerns we had regarding song lengths or flow, he was already ahead of it. He uses a custom planning form that was incredibly thorough, which made it so easy for us to help structure our timeline and music preferences. It also didn't go unnoticed by our other vendors; they were all very complimentary of how well he managed the energy throughout the night. If you want a DJ who is organized, professional, and a true master at keeping the party going, look no further!

We could not recommend Emily's Catering Group more! Our wedding was August 25, 2018 at South Farms in Morris, CT. People say the food at your wedding is one of the most important and memorial parts of your day and it's true! People are still raving about the food they had at our wedding till this day and the fantastic service by the ECG's team! From the very first point of contact Rick and his team were extremely attentive. Cheryl would answer our emails within 24 hours (which for a bride planning a wedding is SO impressive!) The tasting we had was intimate and Rick walked us through the process of what our guests experience would be like the day of our wedding. The passed hors d'oeuvres were never ending during cocktail hour-- our guests we're SO impressed and FULL of delicious tasting food they were wondering how they would be able to eat during dinner. Rick and his team brought my charcuterie table dreams come to life! There was specific staff members from the ECG's team that were in charge of basically following us around during our event to make sure we had all the food we ever wanted and a drink was always full in our hands.

I had my trial in July for my October wedding, and I’ll admit I was a little nervous since I never wear makeup and didn’t know what to expect. I told Pam I didn’t want really heavy makeup up and she listened. The makeup looked beautiful, but I was a bit concerned about how long it would last since I couldn’t keep it on for long after the trial. My curls also weren’t as tight as I’d hoped, and they fell flat after a few hours, so I worried they might not hold up on my wedding day. I shared my concerns with Pam and Brenna—especially about my hair, since it never holds curls—and they truly listened. On the day of the wedding, they absolutely nailed it. They were also so fun to work with. My makeup and hair both lasted all night long, and my hair was exactly what I had envisioned. It couldn’t have been more perfect! I don’t have professional photos yet but these are some friends took.

Everyone kept telling me how wonderful Bianca and Dan were and how beautiful the bar trailer was. Not only was the trailer gorgeous at the venue, she went as far as to have custom napkins and drink stirrers made for us. It was such a small, sweet surprise and as the bride- there weren’t many surprises for me as I was involved in all the planning so that little touch meant so much.

Awarded Best of Zola
Shukhrat and his wife Rachel just shot our June 8th wedding and we couldn't be happier. They were amazing to work with and the photos are phenomenal! About the pictures: Shukhrat is versatile and very skilled. When we took our engagement photos he provided us with various styles of photos and editing, and then used our feedback to guide the photos he took at our wedding. He is also flexible. We got married in a city park and there were wayyyy more people in the park than we were expecting at 6:00pm at night. Without missing any of the candid details or true-to-life colors that we wanted, Shukhrat was able to frame the photos and/or alter the lighting so that the park goers were barely visible in the background. Both Shukhrat and Rachel are also very skilled at giving direction when needed, but letting you do your own thing the rest of the time. Neither my husband nor I have a lot of experience in front of a camera—they gave us enough direction to feel confident, without making us feel stifled or overly posed. We wanted photos that felt organic and genuine, and they were really able to capture that. Working with Shukhrat and Rachel: The two of them were a dream to work with. Incredibly professional--very communicative, punctual, quick turnaround time on photos. And they are also just lovely people. You spend so much time on your wedding day with your photographers, it's really important to feel comfortable with them, and we certainly did. They brought both a fun, but calming energy, easing our pre-wedding jitters before the ceremony, and leaning into the excitement as the night went on. Although we hardly know them, they felt like friends. We are so glad we booked Shukhrat for our wedding!

Our wedding at The Riverview was truly one of the most incredible experiences of our lives, and we honestly cannot stop reliving how perfect everything felt. From the moment we started planning to the very last song of the night, every detail was handled with so much care, professionalism, and genuine warmth. Kayla, our coordinator, was nothing short of amazing. She made the entire process feel easy and enjoyable, always one step ahead. Her calm, confident presence made such a difference, and we always felt like we were in the best hands. Brittany, the assistant coordinator, was equally wonderful and so attentive, kind, and supportive every step of the way. On our wedding day, not only did we have Kayla and Brittany, but we also had Cam and Tara, two more bridal attendants that were absolute lifesavers. They anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and made sure we could truly be present and soak in every moment. I honestly don't think I turned around once without them handing me food or drink! The service was outstanding across the board. The waitstaff was incredibly professional, fast, and attentive, making all of our guests feel so well taken care of. And the food, wow! It was beyond delicious. We are still hearing from guests about how amazing every course was. It truly exceeded all expectations. Nicole and Will at the bar were fantastic, friendly, efficient, and so fun. They kept the drinks flowing and the energy high all night long, and our guests absolutely loved them. We have had so many people reach out to us since the wedding saying it was one of the best they have ever been to from the food, the service, the atmosphere, everything. That says it all. The Riverview and their entire team made our day feel effortless, beautiful, and unforgettable in every possible way.

She was also able to execute our vision. Additionally, Vanessa is just a wonderfully nice and funny human to have as part of your event. Def recommend!

We used Ben Teaford Productions for our wedding in June 2024 at Saint Clements Castle & Marina. I can’t say enough good things about Ben! He was professional, accommodating and delivered us three great videos for our wedding day! I’m grateful he was part of our day and definitely recommend him!

We're Ashley and James, nature—inspired storytellers and creative partners who are here to capture your most precious moments. As a husband-and-wife team, we understand the importance of connection. We take the time to get to know you so that your wedding film reflects your unique journey together. We’re drawn to the beauty of those candid moments—the joyful smiles, heartfelt tears, and loving embraces—and we transform them into cinematic treasures that you and your loved ones will cherish for generations.

Had the BEST experience with Tree Films Creative! From the initial inquiry to our wedding day, everything has been so easy and smooth with Ashley and James. They instantly made us feel so comfortable, in general, and in front of the camera. Communications over email and/or text were clear and timely, and it was apparent how organized and on top of their agenda they were. What I especially appreciated was the timeline and layout of the entire wedding day, from start to finish, all the photos Ashley planned to take; with who, where, etc. It was easy to follow and we could customize/add any specific group photos/photo poses we wanted to take. The sneak peek preview of some of the photos was such an unexpected and impressively quick turnaround - we got them while we were on our honeymoon! So that was another exciting bit of the honeymoon we weren't expecting but got to enjoy and appreciate together. I am so looking forward to the rest of the photos and video and will definitely be working with these guys again for our first born baby photos!!

DJ Tom was perfect. We are a month out from our wedding and still getting compliments on the music. He took our playlist and modified it to read the room, playing slow songs at the right time and DJ remixes at the right times. Communication was 10/10, he set up the whole sound system and lights, supplied mics for the ceremony and speeches, announced our tables to go up to the buffet, and took requests from our guests.

As a wedding photographer, I work with a wide range of planners, but Tanya from Bookmarked Weddings truly stands out. Our most recent wedding together was a 2025 New Year’s Eve wedding, and it was clear from the start that this wasn’t just another event—it was a fully immersive experience, thanks in large part to Tanya’s vision and execution. The day was filled with intricate details: a balldrop at midnight filled with bubbles, an elegant champagne tower, and a timeline packed with special moments and intentional design. Tanya handled it all with a calm, confident presence and exceptional attention to detail. She built a full-day timeline that was both comprehensive AND realistic—which meant everything ran smoothly, and I was able to capture the day naturally without unnecessary stress or delays. Tanya’s coordination behind the scenes allowed the couple to stay present and enjoy every moment while ensuring that vendors like myself had exactly what we needed to do our jobs well. Her thoughtful approach and clear communication made a huge difference throughout the day. The energy of a New Year’s Eve wedding is already electric, but Tanya elevated it with a sense of elegance, organization, and creativity that made the whole celebration feel effortless and magical. If you're looking for a planner who can manage complex, high-energy events with grace, precision, and style, Tanya from Bookmarked Weddings is it. Every time I know we are going to work together, I fist pump the air in celebration because it will be FLAWLESS! — Cait Fletcher Cait Fletcher Photography
