Rayleen is perfection! If you are looking for a photographer that will not only give you the best photos ever, but also become your friend then Rayleen is your girl! I was very specific about the photographer I was looking for as our venue is very dark and moody so I wanted a photographer that does that same thing. From the moment we met Rayleen we knew she was the one. We loved that we were vibing with her right away and she got that we did not want a lot of posed portraits. We were looking for a lot more candid photos. We did out engagement shoot at the brewery I work at and the photos came out amazing. We knew then that we had picked the right photographer. We had the best day taking photos, we never felt rushed or over photographed. We got our photos back in about 15 weeks which I thought was great even though she kept apologizing it was taking so long! Thank you Rayleen for not only being an amazing photographer, but also for becoming a friend!

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!

From the moment I spoke with Pam in regards to booking for my wedding, she has been nothing but spectacular. I had received a quote promptly and the booking process was painless and easy(planning for a wedding is tough!). I first met Pam for my Bridal Trial (which we set up for the morning of my Bridal Shower). I received non-stop compliments about how flawless my makeup was. About a month before wedding day, Pam followed up with the wedding day timeline which made it easy to communicate to my girls. Wedding day! Pam arrived on time, had set up so quickly and was ready to go! All my bridesmaids were so shocked on their makeup. I had a range of different skin colors and textures of my girls and Pam was able to work with the different skin tones! They were absolutely breathtaking. Its rare to find someone who can provide services working with a wide range of skin tones. Now, my makeup was absolutely fabulous! The smokey eyes, wispy lashes, contoured cheeks and blush was gorgeous. I couldn't stop looking at myself in the mirror. I felt the most beautiful on my wedding day. Pam took her time and adjusted if I wanted something darker or different. I, of course, wanted alllll the glam. She gave me a beautiful glow on my shoulders and chest. My makeup lasted all day. The pictures below say it for themselves. You'd be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't book with PG Beauty. 3

Ariana Strings played the ceremony at our wedding on August 2, 2025 at The Riverhouse at Goodspeed Station in Haddam, CT. After meeting Ariana the winter before our wedding at a bridal showcase, she immediately played the song on her violin I wanted to walk down the aisle to. She brought not only myself, but a few of my bridesmaids I was with to tears. She was incredibly attentive to detail, communicated to us almost immediately after emailing her, and has such an amazing personality. The string trio for our ceremony sounded exactly how I pictured them to sound and we received many compliments!

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!!

David was absolutely amazing — both professional and so personal at the same time! From the very beginning, he walked us through everything, from customizing our ceremony to making sure we knew exactly what to expect on the big day. He took the time to really get to know us, and it showed in every single part of our ceremony. What we loved most is that David somehow feels like both a pro and a friend. He’s organized and experienced, but also warm, kind, and genuinely cares. You never feel like just another client with him — you feel supported, understood, and completely taken care of. He was such a great communicator throughout the whole process — super responsive, always available if we had a question, and just so easy to work with. During the ceremony, he absolutely shined. He spoke clearly and with purpose, enunciating every word so that every guest could hear and feel the meaning behind what he was saying. His timing, tone, and presence were perfect — confident, engaging, and full of heart. We can’t say enough good things about David. Having him as our officiant made our wedding day even more special.

Kristen was amazing! From the rehearsal to the day of the wedding, she handled everything! I had such piece of mind knowing that the venue was set up properly, all questions were directed and answered by her, and that everything was going perfectly plan!

We worked with Paul for our January wedding. Originally, I was going to just create a playlist (I was having little to no formalities) until I saw he commented on a Connecticut Bride Facebook Group. Figured a DJ will give me one less thing to worry about, so I inquired and he immediately responded, provided a quick quote, and we set up our first meeting. He just made everything so easy! We had two one-hour long meetings to clearly identify our vision. My father passed a few years ago and we did many things to honor him at the party- signature cocktail, my sister spoke about him in her speech, his two best friends gave a combined toast on his behalf, but what made me really feel my dad was celebrated and “there in spirit” was when Paul intentionally played my dad’s favorite song prior to the first speech. It almost felt like that was my dad’s speech/toast to us. Family and friends picked up on Paul’s placement of my dad’s favorite song and commented that they were moved by it too. It was the only point of the night I got emotional. Paul really cares about his work and the people he works with. I’ve been to a handful of weddings where DJs play the couple’s Do Not playlist and just treats every wedding the same. I seriously can’t recommend Paul more.
