MV Film Productions is the absolute best videographer team!! I could not have asked for a better person to film my special day. Matt is so kind, fun, and professional!

Modern Strings trio played at my wedding on June 28, 2024 - they were absolutely magnificent!! From the second I booked my venue, I knew the very first vendor I had to book was Modern Strings. I had followed Modern Strings for some time and knew it was the most important vendor for me to have! Modern Strings played for my ceremony as well as cocktail hour. They set the stage for an emotional, elegant ceremony; then followed by a beautiful upbeat cocktail hour. Our guests were floored by the modern music played on string instruments. Our wedding was everything we could have ever dreamed of and we have Modern Strings to thank for being such a special part of our day! P.S.

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).

Awarded Best of Zola
The bouquets were absolutely beautiful and fit my vision exactly! All of the flowers and decor complemented the venue perfectly and was exactly what I was looking for. Kate was great to work with, from the initial communication and planning to making several adjustments to our plan over time to sending a preview of the bouquet. We were also able to visit her studio in person and rent candles which was a huge help. Overall working with Kate was so easy and stress free and she really has a knack for bringing a vision to life! Thank you!

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
Cate was an absolute dream to work with! She captured both our elopement wedding (10 guests at a beachside Airbnb in East Haven in early September) and a 1-hour couples’ photoshoot (early morning at the Yale campus in mid-October 2024). We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Her incredible skill, warm demeanor, and attention to detail truly set her apart. We spoke with many prospective photographers before deciding, but we just couldn’t look away from working with Cate after going through her brilliant portfolio and speaking with her on Zoom. Cate made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She has an amazing ability to put you at ease, making the entire process natural and fun. The photos she took are some of our absolute favorites. We love how she captured our families, wedding ceremony, and couple photos with so much emotion and authenticity! One of the standout things about Cate is how prolific she is. She took and shared a delightfully ridiculous number of photos with us—over 2–3 photos per minute! Every single shot was excellently curated and edited, showcasing her skills as both a photographer and storyteller. Cate went above and beyond, even while balancing personal challenges during her busiest season, to deliver a stunning gallery that exceeded all our expectations. She was also kind and thoughtful in all her communications with us and incredibly generous while photographing us for several minutes after our scheduled time had ended. We wholeheartedly recommend Cate to anyone looking for a wedding or portrait photographer! She is immensely talented, professional, and a joy to work with. We not only found our go-to photographer for all our future needs, but also a kind friend through this process. Thank you, Cate, for capturing the most precious moments of our lives so beautifully—we are so grateful for your skill and compassion!

Aleks and her team are so professional and easy to work with. Aleks was helpful during and after the makeup trial we had. She was very supportive when my skin was having issues and was able to provide very helpful advice when I reached out to her about it. She asked me questions about my skin care and was able to recommend some things to try to sort out my skin issues before the big day. The day of the wedding, my vision was brought to life from my hair to my makeup! My skin was glowing! And she made sure my bridesmaids loved their looks too! 10/10 would recommend!

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.

Willow & Grey were an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding florals. From our first conversation, their communication was open, clear, and easy - they immediately put us at ease with their relaxed and professional demeanor. When I had trouble picturing exactly what I wanted, the Willow & Grey team listened closely to my ideas and brought them to life in the most beautiful way. The end result was absolutely gorgeous - the flowers exceeded my wildest expectations and truly made our wedding day feel like a fairytale. I still look back at our pictures just to admire the incredible talent and craftsmanship of the Willow & Grey team. Our wedding would not have been the same without them, and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

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.

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).

We hired Cork & Craft for our wedding and I'm really happy I choose them! Initially when I started to look for a vendor I was disappointed by the beer selection (the typical offerings were miller, coors, and bud) but I really prefer craft beer. Cork & Craft was able to procure Thimble Island beer for my wedding and I was thrilled! They also had great suggestions for wine and a passionfruit margarita mix that my guests really loved. I liked that the truck was all electric so you couldn't hear a motor running during the ceremony and throughout the night. It rained during my wedding and I was happy to see that while I was getting ready (dress, hair, makeup, etc.) they worked with my venue to be covered by two pop-ups. I'm so glad that everything was taken care of - it really relieved a lot of stress. Tara is extremely friendly, professional, and a great communicator. If I was planning my wedding again I would definitely hire her!

When I first started wedding photography, I didn’t realize how quickly I would fall in love! Through my clients I have had the pleasure of watching many love stories come to fruition, capturing their most special day. Wedding photography is not just a job, it’s a true passion that I do because I love it. The long wedding days, the planning - I cherish every moment of it!

Ephe was the best photographer ever. I was one of the last people in my friend group to get married and I’ve seen some photography disasters happen the day of. Ephe had none of that and all of my friends loved her and her work ethic. She is very punctual and organized. She understood the vibe that I was going for and she had my sneak peeks and all of my wedding pictures edited super quick! I wish I lived closer to Ephe so I could hire her for all of my photography needs.

I am animated, honest and fun! I am a mom, wife, teacher, avid runner and overall a very passionate person. I love my family, anything nautical and really enjoy a great glass of bubbly at the end of a long day! I'd love to meet you!

Erica came highly recommended by our wedding planners, Consilium Events, and she nailed it! Her energy and humorous approach were very well received by everyone, especially the bridal party. Erica was flexible and highly communicative and helped us stay organized and on task all weekend so that we could strike the right balance between having fun and capturing important moments. We would 100% without reservation recommend Erica to anyone with photography needs, regardless of the occasion. One thing that we really liked was that Erica is a teacher and a mom... she knows how to multi-task especially when people have low attention spans!! Great job Erica and the Keane Eye team!!!!

Nadia's Beauty Spot was a pleasure to work with for my wedding day hair and makeup. The stylists were friendly, thorough, and responsive in all of our communications leading up to the big day, which I really appreciated while planning a hectic wedding schedule. On the wedding day, the team arrived early, completely prepared and organized with all of their professional equipment and products. They worked efficiently to have myself and all 9 bridesmaids looking our absolute best in time for the first look photos, while keeping the atmosphere fun and relaxing. The hair and makeup lasted perfectly all day and looked stunning in the photos. Overall I would highly recommend Nadia's Beauty Spot for your wedding beauty needs - their work is top quality and their team is organized, responsive, and a joy to work with.
