First of all - the end product was just beautiful. Everything from the bridal bouquet to the ceremony flowers to the table styling was exquisite and super unique. Shannon did a great job incorporating my favorite color (yellow) and a whimsical, organic wildness into the design exactly as I had hoped. From our first meeting to the written proposal, Shannon interpreted my thoughts and ideas exactly. I was so impressed that she took my ramblings and half ideas and pulled them together into what I was seeing in my head. Shannon’s GORGEOUS color palette informed the entire wedding design and gave me a jumping off point for invitations, bridesmaid dresses, other decor, etc. Unfortunately, the process of working with Shannon was a bit challenging. She struggled with nailing down details: incorrect number of tables, inconsistent accounting of candles/bud vases, etc. It took a number of incorrect proposal drafts until we got it right - just weeks before the wedding. We were honestly quite disappointed by Shannon’s flexibility and communication. She self-describes as being highly collaborative, but that was not our experience. First, as beer nerds, having hops in the design was super important to us, and while she flagged early on it could be an issue to source real ones, we discussed using fake. While we all agreed that she shouldn’t use fake hops if they looked bad, we were sad to see on the day of that they didn’t make it into the design. It would have been nice to have heard a heads up from her that she didn’t plan to use them - even if it was just a brief mention on the day-of. Second, when our cake plans fell through at the last minute, we asked Shannon if she could possibly supply a few flowers for our small 6” cutting cake. She told us she would try, but later we heard from the bakery that she had given them a flat no. She never communicated her decision to us. Thankfully, the bakery pulled something together for us (shout out to Zest Pastry!). Third, the Monday before the wedding, Shannon sent an alarming email with the subject line “Head Advisory, Oh No!”, asking us what our plan was. Getting any email titled “Oh No” isn’t fun to receive less than a week before your wedding. Further, as a trusted wedding vendor, we would hope that she would have plans for weather or unexpected events rather than looking to us during a very stressful period. Lastly, (and most disappointingly) despite having a run of day schedule, Shannon was nowhere to be found when it was time to put on boutonnieres and corsages. Our photographers and party thankfully jumped in to help to avoid major delays to portraits (shout out to Katie Slater!). Fundamentally, the product Shannon provided was beyond compare - everything was beautiful. That said, the communication, coordination, and organization were lacking from our experience.

They also have the Swan Room that can fit over 150 people or something like that. The whole second floor was dedicated to our event. Here are some of the features it had that just makes sense functionally: we had a bridal suite that fit our whole bridal party and parents, an elevator since it was on the second floor, a grand staircase, our own bathrooms and bar separate from the downstairs area, a built-in dance floor, and a welcome landing. We had to bring minimal decorations, like centerpieces and such. They provide table settings, everything in the bar, name cards, and table numbers. We suggest finding a vendor for uplighting. Our DJ provided it for us and made the room look amazing. The food is fancy and delicious. In the days that followed our reception, we received compliments about the entrees and passed hors d’oeuvres. They are plated like an inspired high-end restaurant. We had an open bar and everyone was very pleased with the service. TLDR: these people know what they’re doing. The space is BUILT for weddings, not retrofitted, and it shows.

My husband and I got married here on May 11th, and it was truly a dream wedding. The food was amazing, and my guests were sure to let me know that. The view was unreal, and upkeep was so great we didn't need to spend much on floral, since the Candlewood Inn has such beautiful scenery and foliage. Krista was my coordinator and she was extremely helpful during the entire I was engaged and planning up until the day of the wedding, she is the absolute sweetest. Delilah and Brooke were my wedding helpers, not sure of the right term, and they literally helped me with every single thing on my wedding day. They made sure i had a drink in hand, that I was ok, that I ate, that my dress was on right. I truly don't know what i would have done without them, they really showed they cared about me. I am so grateful I was able to get married in the most beautiful place close to home.

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).

Marvin was FANTASTIC and such an awesome DJ for our wedding at the Burr Mansion in Fairfield. He made it very easy for us to communicate what we were looking to do for our order of events (speeches, toasts, dances, etc.) and give him our recommended music. We had *so* many compliments about how wonderful of an emcee he was, as well as there being such a great mix of music for all the generations there that kept everyone on the dance floor the whole night! Our original time set for dinner ran a little late because the kitchen was running behind, but he did a wonderful job keeping things moving; no one had any idea we were waiting on dinner! Marvin even played a handful of songs that were not on our original recommendations list and was very prepared to do so! He ensured such a great flow & we were so so glad to have found him.

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.

My husband and I knew we needed a day of coordinator because on our wedding day he wanted me to finally check out and relax! As someone who is very type a, I didn't want to not enjoy my actual wedding because I was so focused on details. Like most venues we had a Bridal Attendant who was great, but I can't speak enough about how a day of coordinator is so necessary. There really were so many moving parts that day and Mia took care of all of it. Her involvement allowed my mom and mother in law to be able to actually have fun. It was great to see! Leaving the pressure of getting things right on the day of to Mia and her team was the best decision I made! She was actually the first vendor we hired. It was truly a non negotiable for us! We chose Mia because she was able to really walk us through the entire process and answer all of the questions we had with the least amount of fluff! When we hired Merry we decided to pay a little extra for a second on site coordinator and that ended up being a great choice! Her team worked directly with our venue to make sure everything was where it needed to be and when it needed to be there. I was also able to assign someone to my husband and the groomsmen so that they felt special and taken care of! We even had one small thing that came up that because of the conversations we had she knew exactly what to do. It was super windy on the day of and our ceremony was in a tent that was supposed to be open to the water views. The venue ultimately left them open but she made an executive decision (found me quickly to re-confirm) to close the panels/curtains and it saved our guests from freezing and not being able to actually hear the ceremony. She also made sure that all of the things we really cared about (pictures, moments etc) were captured! We'd hire Merry by Mia a thousand times over!

I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in New York and Connecticut. I capture moments that feel alive—genuine, emotional, and meaningful. My goal is to create photos that bring you back to the emotions of that day, reminding you of the love, commitment, and joy that made it unforgettable. When I’m not with the camera, you’ll find me painting, refreshing my home decor, hunting for vintage treasure, exploring new places, or taking care of my plants family (currently over a dozen and counting!).

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.

What brings me joy on your wedding day is watching your gorgeous faces from the back of the aisle, knowing that your wedding is unfolding exactly as we planned it. You are excited and focused on each other, just as it should be. Your happiness is my happiness, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Melissa and her team are wonderful - we’ve been industry colleagues for a long time and they’ve jumped in to help my company when I was short-staffed, treat their clients with love and respect, and do whatever it takes to make every event perfect. I highly recommend them!

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.

Eye For Beauty CT was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the very first interaction, their communication was prompt, were easy to talk to, and extremely happy to address all of my questions and concerns. The quality of their work was nothing short of impeccable - Kim did my hair and makeup exactly the way I envisioned it, and I felt flawless on our special day. She was on time for our appointment and always had a wonderfully friendly demeanor that made it feel like having a friend getting ready with me. Kim was very patient, listened intently to my requests, and made sure I was completely satisfied. I cannot recommend Eye For Beauty CT highly enough for any bride-to-be looking for a top-notch beauty team to help make their special day truly unforgettable.

Be the Star Photo Booth is a photo booth company servicing weddings and other events, operating out of Shelton, CT. The team is committed to providing professional services from start to finish, using top-of-the-line equipment to create a first-class memorable wedding experience. Be the Star Photo Booth was established in 2013 by husband and wife duo Mark and Denise. The pair have been working together in the entertainment industry since 1996, with years of experience enhancing weddings and events. The team enjoys elevating events with their photo booth, offering couples and guests a take-home token when the celebrations have ceased.

We were a little undecided on whether or not to have a photo booth for our small, backyard wedding and we are SO thrilled that we did! All of our guests had so much fun and loved being able to get copies of their photos. We provided some props of our own, but the props they provided added so much to the experience. As a queer couple, we were very mindful about making sure we had all queer-friendly vendors and Be The Star Photo Booth made us feel so comfortable and at ease. Our attendants, Kyle and Rob, were absolutely PHENOMENAL. They weren't just attendants--it really felt like they were part of the celebration. They were kind, helpful, energetic, and so much fun to have with us as part of the experience. Kyle was so thoughtful and kept all the photo strips my wife and I were in until the end of the night. She even gave us a few 4x6 prints of some cute pictures of us. I highly recommend them and would love to use them again!

Hi! I’m Izzy a makeup artist based in Connecticut. I specialize in soft glam: all the steps of a full glam look with seamless blending for a softer, elegant finish. While soft glam is my signature, I can create any style, from natural glow to full glam. There’s no minimum booking — if you want me there just for you, I’ll be there! I truly love what I do. Yes, business matters, but my heart is in creating a special experience from the first message to your trial and your wedding day. I’m always improving my craft and staying up-to-date with the latest techniques to give you the best service. I’d be honored to be part of your special day!

From the moment I reached out to Izzy Makeup, their communication was fast, easy and honest. She was so helpful in putting me at ease and making the process feel less stressful. On the day of the wedding, Izzy delivered careful, trustful and beautiful makeup that allowed me to feel confident and beautiful. Izzy is clearly genuine about her job, and she did an amazing job - I didn't even need to provide an example, she just knew exactly what I was looking for. I'm so grateful to have had Izzy Makeup be a part of our special day.
