Their communication style was very responsive - they promptly replied to all of our texts and calls, making the planning process seamless. The quality of their work was truly professional.

Cover Story Entertainment (as featured in all the leading and best publications all over New England and beyond as well as TV shows) was established by Chris Troxell, when he graduated from Berklee College of Music with a performance degree and a passion for perfection.

A 12-year winner of Knot’s Best of Weddings and 13-year winner of Couples’ Choice Awards, CSE is among the BEST of NEW ENGLAND

Wedding advice: hire Cover Story Entertainment! We worked with CSE for our July wedding. We went with the ceremony package, 6-piece band as well as their uplighting and photo booth services. Our experience with CSE from start to finish was 10/10. Chris and Elena are incredibly organized, communicative, and responsive. They always answered all of our questions (and I asked many!) Alec, Alex, Savannah, and the rest of the band members rocked it all night. One of the first things guests commented on about our wedding was how amazing the band was. One of our guests commented that they wish they could cancel their DJ and fly CSE to their wedding in Portugal because they loved them so much. Extremely talented musicians for an awesome price, which make a huge difference when wedding planning. When we reflect on our wedding day, Cover Story is a huge part of what made it such a memorable night. -MK AJ Dunne

I worked with Intan Sahrini for hair and makeup and she did a wonderful job on both! I’d never had my hair done before because I didn’t trust that hair stylists would know what to do with my curly hair. Intan did a glamorous updo using my natural curl and helped me achieve the vague vision I had using inspiration photos. I also wear minimal makeup in daily life but Intan was able to make me look like an elevated version of myself on my wedding day. She mixed a special lip color and placed individual lashes all to make sure my vision was achieved! Highly recommend.

Local Lore Farm & Floral

  • Florist
  • Serves Wheatley Heights, NY

Local Lore (formerly VDL Brothers) began as a farm with a single grower dreaming of providing locally grown, beautiful flowers. Now, we are bringing the produce of that farm to couples who are looking for fresh florals designed with a romantic, whimsical touch. We love to create soft, flowing bouquets, nature inspired arches, creative statement pieces and installations. We give each of our couples a high level of attention to detail, and dedicate our time to two events per month.

Awarded Best of Zola
Sonja is INCREDIBLE! I can’t speak highly enough about her—she went above and beyond for our wedding. From the start, she understood my vision, and we stayed perfectly aligned throughout the planning process. When we began designing the florals, Sonja presented her inspiration board, and to my surprise, it included the exact same image I had independently chosen for my own board—a detail I hadn’t shared with her! Her eye for design and ability to bring a vision to life are unmatched, and her passion for her work shines through in the most beautiful final product. I didn’t know much about flowers, but I found myself genuinely excited as she described the blooms she selected for my bouquet. On the wedding day, it was so comforting to work with someone I trusted completely to execute my vision. Sonja was extremely communicative, incredibly talented, and genuinely kind—I cannot recommend her highly enough!

When you hire Rick Lash Photography, you're hiring me, Rick. I've been a professional wedding photographer since 2012 and I still love what I do more than I did the day before. I'm here to make your wedding day better. How do I do this? By being thoughtful, professional, and precise. What's this mean? I'm going to walk through your day several times with you before we get there. We're going to plan how I should capture it without getting in your way. I want you to enjoy your day as much as possible while I'm able to fulfill my role to the best of my abilities. I'm also here to make your memories better. That's what my photography is for.

I hired Rick to photograph a family gathering to celebrate a 150th anniversary event. Rick's ability to capture moments when family members were talking, laughing, hugging, and sharing special glances is one of his true talents.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you want pictures of your wedding, tell your guests to whip their phones out and take pictures. If you want professional photographs of your wedding, there are dozens of people with fancy equipment you could hire. If you want someone who is going to guide you through the real ins-and-outs of the wedding process, someone to warn of you of the potential pitfalls and make suggestions that will bring your day to life, and someone to help you craft a seamless timeline all while making you feel seen, heard, and calm during your special day, hire Melissa. The photographs of our engagement session and our wedding speak for themselves. They’re stunning, and we look forward to looking at them every day of our lives. What you are getting with Melissa goes well beyond someone to take photos. In our first consultation, she put it perfectly: she has been to far more weddings than you ever will. She is an expert, she knows what to expect, and she knows how to keep things moving. She really felt like a second event coordinator, and one who’s primary focus was our well-being. There was a moment during the wedding when things were getting a bit chaotic, and Melissa swooped in and brought us outside, not just to get some beautiful sunset photos but more so to give us a chance to catch our breath and be in a quiet space with each other. This would have been impressive enough on its own, but considering the fact that Melissa warned us that something like this may happen and that she would trust her instincts to know when we needed something we ourselves didn’t even know we needed demonstrates the level of care and professionalism you’ll receive when you hire Blooming Faith. Melissa and her shooting partner were a joy to work with, and we plan on working with Blooming Faith for many of our future milestones.

Hi there! I’m an on site pro makeup artist located in Connecticut, but travel all over the east coast & internationally if need be. I’m also someone who would love to make your wedding morning even more special in preparation for your big day! Hablo español!

I had a wonderful experience working with Marielly from Make Me Glamorous for my wedding day. Her communication was always timely, thorough, and extremely organized, which put me at ease throughout the planning process. The quality of her work was truly exceptional - the makeup artist, Marielly, was a true perfectionist and ensured that my entire bridal party of 8 women looked impeccable. She was so receptive to our individual style preferences and created flawless looks for each of us. Marielly went above and beyond, not just meeting, but exceeding my (admittedly high) expectations. My makeup stayed perfect for over 15 hours, through all the photos, hugs, tears, and dancing. I would trust Marielly and the entire Make Me Glamorous team with my beauty needs again in a heartbeat.

We cannot say enough about how much we loved Covergirl. They took so much time to sit with us and listen to our requests before the wedding and boy did they deliver. They played everything we asked for. They dressed up for our Super Mario theme and even learned new music for it. We had guests say they were the best wedding band they’ve ever heard. Absolutely incredible.

You’ve seen wedding bands before. But you’ve never seen one like us. Our wedding nights are, in a word, unforgettable. We specialize in epic dance hits, teary-eyed singalongs, and everything in between. Book us for your event and you'll get our award-winning Boston Wedding Band & DJ combo, PLUS our professional sound and stage lighting system at one simple rate, with absolutely NO overtime charges. We travel all over New England and beyond, so when you’re ready for our industry-leading talent and a game-changing event package all at one affordable wedding band price, we’re ready to celebrate with you.

We are still on a high from the most fun night of our lives all thanks to BeachNights band, Chris and DJ Connor!!! If you want to have music at your wedding that everyone will be talking about for years to come, book BeachNights for your reception and the DJ combo for your other music needs (ceremony, cocktail hour, afterparty). Booking BeachNights for all our music needs was the best decision we made for our wedding day. BeachNights far exceeded our expectations. Chris is so professional, organized, and easy to work with. They have so much experience in all types of venues; you will be glad you have a band who knows exactly what they need to do to put on a seamless performance. They keep the music process worry-free so you can focus on other aspects of wedding planning. A piece of unsolicited advice if I may, book BeachNights for everything: ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, afterparty. It was so much easier being able to talk to ONE person and coordinate all music through ONE group rather than having 4 music vendors involved in the planning process. They take time to learn about you as a couple, your music wants and needs, likes and dislikes so that every single song is exactly what you want and how you pictured your music on your wedding day. THANK YOU Chris and team for making our wedding dreams come true!

Stas and his team were incredible from the moment they arrived at my house on the morning of my wedding. They immediately asked which space they could use to start filming, and once I showed them, they got right to work. The little snippets they captured were so creative and completely out of the box. I was honestly blown away. Their direction throughout the day was gentle, kind, and patient. They somehow managed to film every important moment without us even noticing. Nothing ever felt staged or forced; it was all beautifully natural. If you're looking for high-quality, cinematic wedding videos, I cannot recommend Stas and his team enough. The one-minute teaser alone was absolutely next-level—beyond anything I imagined. Truly, I can’t recommend them enough!!!

Hello, I’m Juan. My mission is to weave together my passion for people, love of design, and dedication to storytelling in each wedding film I create. For me, this goes far beyond videography—it's about crafting a truly luxurious, meaningful experience. I invest in truly understanding each couple I work with, forging a genuine connection to ensure your wedding film reflects the essence of your journey. I take the time to explore the details of your story, allowing me to create a film that feels authentic, intimate, and luxurious.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were not going to pursue a wedding videographer. I'd seen enough to think they all looked the same. I'm a brand strategist and it's important to me that content capture the essence of its subject. When I stumbled across Juan's portfolio, I found that no two videos were the same-because no two couples are the same! I found myself watching videos of his over and over, even crying! That's when we knew our mind had been changed. Juan is so personable and works hard to get to know you so he can craft a story that reflects your own. And working with him was a breath of fresh air. I always feel awkward in front of a camera and my husband tires of being on camera easily but with Juan behind his, we felt so natural! It was like hanging out with your best friend. We flew Juan out to Baltimore to be there to capture our wedding and I'm so glad we weren't deterred by his not being local because just the preview alone gives me chills. If you're looking for a videographer, especially if you're on the fence about even needing a video, we strongly recommend a discovery call with Juan before you decide. We can't recommend him enough!

From the first day we spoke to Siobhan, she was so easy to talk to and get along with. She truly took the time to understand what we were looking for in a photographer and what we envisioned our day to be. She always made herself accessible to us for any questions we had. She made the whole process extremely organized and less stressful knowing she had it under control. Siobhan made our wedding day a breeze. Our family and friends are still talking about how awesome she and her staff were to work with the entire day. We usually don’t like how we look in pictures, but because of Siobhan, we love our wedding pictures! She truly captured our love for each other while making it such a fun and easy experience.

After fifteen years in theatre and television production, Kate O’Donnell Diaz discovered a love for planning events but wanted to do so with a different approach from what other planners were taking. Kate desired to help couples cultivate weddings that truly reflected them and not just what bridal magazines, their future mother-in-law or high school frenemy said they just HAD to do. The literal and financial waste she witnessed going into weddings because of something “someone” said the couple HAD to have made Kate feel incredibly uncomfortable. Kate saw a need for a more eco-friendly approach to event planning.

Awarded Best of Zola
We never expected to have the perfect wedding, but thanks to Kate and Jen/Green Apple, we truly had the perfect wedding for us. It was more than we could have ever dreamed of, and Kate and Jen made the process so easy. Between choosing the venue, picking the band, dealing with COVID uncertainties, actually running the show the day of, and a million other things, they were always responsive, patient, and so much fun to work with. It’s hard to know what the perfect wedding will look like ahead of time, and although we had some vague general ideas and a couple weirdly specific requests, we weren’t really sure about how it would all come together. Kate and Jen took the time to listen to us, giving us formal questions and plenty of their time to talk things out informally. It felt like they immediately got what we were saying and had ideas about how to make our wedding come to life. They were honest when they thought something might not work, and creative when we were trying to come up with solutions to an issue. All of that was so important because it could often feel really hard to plan a wedding while managing two busy careers and everything else in our lives, and it was so reassuring to know we had them making sure everything was on track. Their experience and their willingness to get to know us made everything come together that whole weekend in a way we’ll never forget. The best part about working with Kate and Jen is how much they clearly LOVE what they do, and truly feel invested in the couples that they are planning with. This really does not feel like just a job to them, and we felt so supported throughout by their warm and personal approach. We genuinely miss them so much already, and it's only been a month since our wedding.

I like to find beauty in the balance between the shadows and the light. They are rarely inseparable. They are complex and totally opposite and yet they can not live without the other. Just like real connection. What is real is beautiful. Only love is real. Your wedding day is important. To you. To your families. To me. And I don’t take it lightly. I understand that you’ve never done this before and you may not even know where to start! Don’t worry- I got you!

Sam was the first vendor we booked. From the moment I saw her photos I knew I absolutely needed her for our day. From our very first call, there was an instant connection and I knew she was going to be so much more than my wedding photographer. We just spoke the same language. Throughout the entire planning process she was a guiding light, helping us with the timeline and prioritizing how we wanted the day to feel. On the day itself, she kept everything on even ahead of schedule and worked expertly around the rain! She kept me calm, protected my space, and allowed us to be fully present with our people. There was no painful posing or forced smiles, only genuine joy and captured experience. Sam is worth her weight in GOLD. One month later, people are still telling me how much they loved her. If you can get Sam, book her and don't look back. I truly could not have imagined our wedding day without her!

We were so lucky to have someone recommend Lilysh to us for our wedding florals in the Catskills. Although I had a vision for what I wanted the flowers to look like, I am certainly not a flower connoisseur, so wanted to find a professional who I could trust to understand and execute my vision and Liliya was the perfect person to do just that. Her timing and communications were perfect, Including plenty of mockups and vision boards during our preliminary meetings, and continued conversations leading up to the big day. Plus - I love that she works with in season/local blooms, in addition to other sustainability efforts. Photo Credit: The Lovewigs
