Modern Strings was a part of my daughter’s wedding. We chose a trio to play for the ceremony and cocktail hour. It was exquisite. So elegant and professional. We moved from outside to inside due to the heat and the musicians broke down and set up quickly. What a lovely addition to this special day.

Fountainhead Floral Design

  • Florist
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Northford, CT

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).

Kate at Fountainhead Floral Design was absolutely incredible to work with. From the beginning, she created a vision board that captured exactly what I was hoping for and was so personable and easy to collaborate with throughout the process. I trusted her with creative control, and she truly shined. She brought my vision to life in a way that exceeded anything I could have imagined. We were married on 9.13.25 at Eolia Mansion, and despite a very tight setup window, Kate and her team executed everything perfectly. My wedding bouquet was absolutely stunning and exactly what I dreamed of. Every floral detail felt thoughtful and intentional. Overall, this was a 10/10 experience, and I would recommend Kate and Fountainhead Floral Design without hesitation to anyone looking for a florist who is creative, professional, and truly talented.

WildRoot Moments

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Northford, CT

**PLEASE DO NOT REACH OUT THROUGH ZOLA. Fill out my contact form or dm me on Instagram. I do not check messages here.** Timeless, editorial imagery with a warm, documentary approach. From the grand, luxurious details to the quiet, candid glances you share when no one’s watching, I’m there to preserve it all with intention. If you’re dreaming of wedding photos that feel both refined and deeply personal, I’d love to bring your vision to life.

From the moment we first spoke with Destiny from WildRoot Moments, we were impressed by her thorough, and professional communication style. The quality of their work is phenomenal. Destiny and her team went above and beyond on our wedding day. Pushing the timeline (even stretching it in certain ways lol!) while also quickly directing all those involved to ensure the photos were done smoothly. Even after an unexpected 1.5 hour delay that caused our ceremony and entire timeline for the day to be ruined, the team quickly adjusted, made a new timeline/game plan and created pure MAGIC. As if the delay wasn’t enough trouble, we were then met with a surprise tornado for our OUTDOOR, BACKYARD wedding so again, all plans that we had made for specific moments to be captured had to be changed, (& quickly because that delay lol!). I truly believe any other team at that point would have thrown in the towel & said “well we did our best.” But luckily for us, we had been blessed with a true angel that day. Destiny's professionalism ensured our day was not ruined and was going to be every bit as perfect as we imagined despite the outside circumstances. The photos she captured, beautifully reflect the love between my husband and I, and one would never know the true chaos happening behind the scenes all because of her skillful work. We are eternally grateful to Destiny and the WildRoot Moments team for capturing our special day, one that we had waited 9 years for, in such a heartwarming way.. so if you’ve found yourself reading this, look no further. Destiny & the rest of the WildRoot Moments team are your people!

Cate Barry Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,900
  • Serves Northford, CT

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!

Hey there! A little background information about me. My name is Aleksandra. I am 30 years old based in West Haven, CT. Makeup has always been a passion of mine, ever since I was little you could find me doing my mom, little sister, and grandma's hair and makeup. I always wanted a career in the industry but never thought it was attainable. Until I reached a point in my life where I decided to take a leap of faith pack my bags and drive down to Georgia where my older sister (a master MUA who owns her own agency) lives.

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!

If you have the means to, choose Bill Miller's as your venue! My now husband and I were treated like royalty from the first tour to our wedding day. We were never without a beverage and were well fed (almost too full!). Mary was our coordinator, and was never hard to reach. We chose this venue for a few reasons: we would have the venue for the whole day to ourselves, all-inclusive with fantastic food and great drinks, a solid indoor/rain option for the ceremony, and a coordinator was included. Bill Miller's really made our day seamless and everything was incredible. Thank you Mary and everyone at Bill Miller's for a wonderful stress-free day!

Tracy is amazing!!! Our wedding flowers were absolutely stunning, and she made the whole process so easy and fun. She was incredibly attentive and detail-oriented, taking the time to really understand my vision, hopping on multiple calls, and even coming for a site visit. She brought my vision to life in a way that fit flawlessly with our overall design.What really stood out was how thoughtful she was about incorporating family heirlooms and relics, something that was a focal point in our wedding. She found the most beautiful ways to repurpose old vases, barrels, pots, and more into the arrangements, which made everything feel so personal and meaningful. Tracy was such a joy to work with. The flowers were gorgeous - our guests commented on them all night - and they lasted for over a week afterward, which made it even more special to keep enjoying them!

I had the pleasure of working with Carleen and her team once as a bridesmaid in a friends wedding and I loved their work so much I booked her for my wedding day! Her hair stylists are extremely talented and gave everyone the style they were looking for from my bridesmaids to mothers and she even was able to style a wig for my mom! Plus I loved the option of being able to rent extensions from her instead of trying to color match and buy my own - really helpful that she offered this! I totally recommend them especially if you have thin hair it helped add so much volume and lasted all night. The makeup was absolutely flawless, everyone was color matched perfectly. My makeup lasted the FULL night, even after hours of outdoor photos I was always surprised when I looked in the mirror and everything was still in place! I truly felt the most beautiful I ever have that day thanks to Carleen and her team! Not to mention she has a super user friendly portal and booking system so it makes working with them even easier! Highly recommend booking for your wedding!

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. Their communication was clear, fast, and easy, making the planning process a breeze. The quality of their work was truly amazing - the floral arch they created for our ceremony was romantic, stunning, and the perfect grand backdrop. Everyone raved about the hanging florals they set up in the ceremony space as well. Renee is so sweet and brought my vision board and dreams to life, creating a final look that was even more beautiful than I could have imagined. I look back at the pictures and am still in awe of how gorgeous everything turned out. Willow & Grey's attention to detail and stunning work made them invaluable to our special day.

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.

Lindsay was so amazing to work with! We hired her to do the flowers for our very small wedding, and the flowers were pretty much our only decor. Everything turned out so stunning. I only showed her a couple of inspiration/general ideas, and mostly told her that we just wanted bright seasonal (August) flowers, and to go ahead and do whatever she thought was best. We didn't have a set color palette since we didn't have a wedding party, so she really could choose whatever she wanted. This was the best decision I could have made because everything was even more beautiful than I could have imagined! Trust me, if you're not a picky bride, ask Lindsay to surprise you and you won't be disappointed!

As a fellow raver, he understood what we wanted and was very thoughtful in his song selection.

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).

Forever a lover of nature, I draw inspiration from the natural world and am most at peace and at home among the plants and trees. I love spending time outdoors, hiking with my dog, and working in my garden growing food and flowers. I have a life long passion for art and design and have worked as an artist for much of my life. In 2013 I found myself fusing my love for art and flowers when I began working in floral design. I quickly fell in love with the ritual of creating with fresh florals. In the years since, I've had the opportunity to hone my skills and style and provide unique and gorgeous designs for some wonderful couples.

I don’t even know where to begin—words feel small compared to what Lauren created for our wedding day. From our very first consultation to the final breathtaking reveal, they went above and beyond to turn our vision into pure magic. As a bride, I had ideas, inspiration photos, and a Pinterest board full of hopes—but Lauren brought all of that to life in a way I never imagined possible. Every single bloom, every arrangement, every petal was thoughtfully placed and perfectly chosen. Walking into our ceremony and reception spaces was like stepping into a dream. What truly set them apart was not just her talent (which is unmatched), but their warmth, passion, and attention to detail. Lauren listened—really listened—to what we wanted, and then elevated it in the most elegant and personal way. The bouquet was absolutely stunning (it felt like it belonged in a fairytale), the ceremony florals took our breath away, and the reception flowers had our guests gasping and taking photos all night long. We received so many compliments from family and friends, but more importantly, we felt completely surrounded by beauty, love, and intention in every floral touch. It felt like us—romantic, joyful, and full of heart. To anyone looking for a florist who will not only deliver beautiful flowers but also pour love and soul into your big day—this is your person. We are endlessly grateful and couldn’t have asked for a more perfect floral experience. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

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 went above and BEYOND at our wedding. I can't thank her enough! The second she was on site, my stress melted away. She handled all the last minute details and truly made the day so perfect. Every single shot is gorgeous. She is so talented and organized, and just the friend (and amazing photographer, of course) I needed on my big day! Even months later, I still look at these photos, and they bring me right back to that day. They are so incredibly stunning. We are so happy we went with Ephe!

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!

Keane Eye Photography was an absolute joy to work with on our wedding day. From the moment we first contacted Erica, her communication was prompt, energizing and thorough, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. On the day of the wedding, Erica and her second photographer were amazing with our family and kids, keeping everyone relaxed and having fun. They chose wonderful locations for our portraits that captured the beauty of our venue. Despite some rainy weather, Erica went above and beyond the contracted expectations, helping us pivot seamlessly and ensuring our special day was perfect. We are thrilled with the energetic and joyful photos that reflect the best day! Highly recommend!

Is bold, quirky, whimsical, and maybe even a bit wacky your vibe? SAME! My name is Izy, I'm lead designer at Rocky Floral, and I’m SO GLAD you're here! For six years, I've been growing and arranging experimental flowers for unique couples. Combining fresh & dried flowers is a specialty, and staying sustainable and inclusive is a non-negotiable. We're ALL about nontraditional flowers for modern couples here <3

Awarded Best of Zola
Izy with Rocky Floral was phenomenal. We met multiple times on the phone, video chat and in person at the venue to discuss the vision and combine our ideas. She was extremely accommodating with my requests and helped guide me when I was unsure or changed my mind! Her arrangements and designs turned out even better than i imagined, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The florals were one of my favorite parts of my wedding! Highly recommend.

My name is Isabelle, and I grow chemical free, regenerative flowers and herbs on 3/4 of an acre in Hamden, CT. I truly love working on these blooms from start to finish, and I hope to get to share some of the beauty with you on your special day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Isabelle is a dream to work with, and created the most stunning florals, understated and natural yet gorgeous and striking, which blended beautifully with the natural environment of our venue. The florals were more than decorations - they were works of art. The fact that the plants are chemical free and grown in a sustainable, regenerative environment was a huge selling point for us. The team is reliable, experienced, and so dedicated, and they went above and beyond to turn a vision into reality. Finally, communication with Isabelle was incredibly smooth and pleasant, and during a stressful process like wedding planning, having such a supportive, loving person was deeply helpful and appreciated. Cannot recommend Isabelle enough!!!

JCakes is an award-winning custom cake bakery, located in North Branford, Connecticut, specializing in gourmet wedding cakes and cupcakes. JCakes turns scrumptious ingredients into stunning works of art in three steps: 1) Cake- JCakes begins with a freshly baked, moist cake 2) Filling- The cake is then filled with homemade, hand whipped fillings (nothing comes pre-made from a tub). 3) Frosting- Cakes are frosted with your choice of flavored French buttercreams or rich chocolate ganache, or expertly covered in rolled fondant

Such a pleasure to work with the team at JCakes. They came highly recommended by our venue, Bill Miller's Castle. And were able to provide a variety of cupcakes for our guest along with the modest wedding cake we worked with them to design. They also went above and beyond in picking up our Italian cookie order from a nearby bakery on their way to drop off our desserts for our wedding day. Everything was delicious and guests walked out of our wedding with armfuls of Tupperware we had provided to take home the leftover dessert. We will absolutely use them again!
