  • Starts at $595

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!

I don’t think I could say enough wonderful things about Candlewood Inn and their team. Simply put our day was perfection. Krista and her team made sure everything was as we wanted it and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Our bridal attendants Mary and Leslie were the true fairy godmothers of the day making sure myself (the bride) and the rest of our bridal party had everything they needed at all time. The communication throughout the process coming up to the wedding and on the day was absolutely flawless. We felt truly cared for which can be hard to find with the amount of weddings that are done. The venue itself was beautiful, you cant quite beat the views on that lake, and so that alone makes it so special. The food was spectacular, us and our guests could not get over how delicious everything was. The staff throughout the night was so professional and kind, and made sure our guests were cared for as well. We loved having the time alone right after the ceremony with all of the appetizers we had picked just to have a bite to eat and take a moment to reflect on being married! It was so special and I attribute that to the work the Candlewood team put in. I would recommend this venue to everyone and anyone that just wants a beautifully run day. I  already cant wait for one of our friends to get married here too!

DJ Marv was SO much fun at our wedding! Marvin's experience as a DJ definitely showed as he handled the ceremony music without any audio hiccups, making sure he was saying the bridal party's names correctly during the reception, and navigating toasts and announcements in a fun and very professional manner. He expertly controlled the crowd with some of the best mixes I've ever heard at a wedding! My husband and I did not want to leave the dance floor! We had so many guests after the wedding tell us how much fun they had dancing to the music and that it was one of, if not the most, fun weddings they had ever been to.

Hi, I'm Vinny Alves! I am a husband, father of two and wedding photographer in my free time. I am passionate for what I do. My job? To capture it all in a way that feels natural, cinematic, and timeless. But more than just taking photos, I’m here to guide you through the day, making sure you feel comfortable, confident, and fully present in every moment. My style? Cinematic, with a mix of artistic, classic, and documentary influences. That means your photos will feel like a movie—elegant, emotional, and storytelling-driven—while still being true to who you are.

I had the honor of having Vinny capture one of the most important moments of my life, my proposal to my fiancée. I chose him because I knew he would be the perfect person for such a special occasion, and he exceeded every expectation. On a snowy day, during a storm, Vinny never hesitated for a second. Despite the freezing cold, he dedicated hours with us in the park, making sure every detail was captured beautifully. The photos turned out extraordinary, truly beyond what we could have imagined. What impressed me the most was his care and dedication. My fiancée and I are not used to posing for photos, but Vinny guided us patiently and naturally through every step, making us feel comfortable and confident. His attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism transformed that day into timeless memories. I am deeply grateful for what he did for us and recommend his services without hesitation. Vinny is an outstanding professional who pours his heart into his work, and the results speak for themselves.

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.

Merry by Mia

  • Planner
  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Shelton, CT

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.

Working with Mia made our wedding day impossibly easy and free of stress. She is incredible in every way! The service she provided to us was invaluable throughout the whole wedding planning process. Our wedding was at a relatively full service venue, so I initially wasn't sure whether working with Mia was necessary. However, I can confidently say that reaching out to her was the best decision I made in the entire wedding planning process! I am generally very Type A, so I was less concerned about everything going smoothly on the wedding day and more worried about being able to truly enjoy the day and live in the moment. I stumbled upon Mia's podcast and, after listening to only a handful of episodes, immediately knew I needed to contact her. In the month or so leading up to our wedding day, I felt uncharacteristically at ease, and I am certain that I owe this sense of calm to Mia. Being able to brain dump little details, concerns, etc. to Mia was incredibly helpful. It made me feel like somebody else cared as deeply about everything going right as I did. One particular puzzle involving our transportation was driving me crazy, and I spent several days poring over some possible solutions. I finally decided to send an email to Mia outlining the problem, and within a half hour, she sent back a brilliant, detailed solution that ended up working perfectly. Although I was already impressed by Mia before the wedding day, I couldn't believe just how valuable her services were on the actual day. There were so many points where Mia swooped in to help before I even knew help was needed. She acted as my “eyes and ears” that afternoon as other vendors set everything up at the venue. She was right on top of contacting the trolley company when they were a few minutes late for picking up the wedding party (I actually didn't even know they were running late until later that day, as it was all handled before I even had a chance to stress about it). She was right there with safety pins when a clasp on my dress was faulty. And she even held an umbrella over me to block the sun during photos (not sure where she even got it – she was like Mary Poppins, with the perfect supplies appearing in thin air!) It was almost as if she was in multiple places at the same time. Our wedding party was also grateful to have her phone number throughout the day for anything that came up. At the end of the event, Mia loaded all of the decor into our car and even took many of our leftover florals to a nearby nursing home the next day so they wouldn’t go to waste. I genuinely don't know who would have taken care of things like this if Mia wasn't there. Even now that our wedding day was a few weeks ago, I continue to hear stories of Mia that I didn't even know about. For example, at one point, my mom was trying to help some older relatives call a cab back to their hotel before the end of the night. All of a sudden, Mia appeared by her side and took care of it. I am so grateful to her for handling things like this so my mom could fully enjoy such an important day for our family. If you are unsure about whether you need a day-of coordinator, you will not regret working with Mia! Just knowing Mia was there made my stress level infinitely lower. I truly felt like I could soak up the joy of our wedding day without worrying about the little details and the flow of the day. Thank you, Mia, for playing such a big role in making our wedding day as special as it was!

My name is George. I’m a wedding, event, and portrait photographer based in Connecticut. I began my photography journey at the age of 17. In 2009, I attended the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan, NY, where I completed the Fashion Photography program. As an artist, my goal is to create natural images that are full of life and express beauty. I approach each client’s needs with care and creativity—capturing emotions, unique details, and the essence of your story. Professional photographer since 2009 and have photographed over 200 weddings.

Awarded Best of Zola
We booked George to capture our wedding day at an outdoor venue in northern MA. As a photographer myself I have high standards when it comes to photos, so I was very selective when making my choice. But I'm happy to report that we made a great choice with George as his work is top notch. Before the wedding we had 2 phone calls to plan out the many scenes we'd want him to capture. We also shared some light guidance on editing style, which he happily incorporated. On the day of the wedding George arrived promptly (early even, which was good) despite the fact he was driving many hours from CT. George did a great job making people feel comfortable in front of the camera. He seemed very experienced as throughout the day he seamlessly transitioned from the foreground to the background as needed. He was never in the way, but always nearby and ready to jump in and capture whatever was happening. He also captured a variety of types of shots, from the wide, establishing shots to the perfectly composed closeups of intimate moments - with lots of extra detail shots and plenty of candids too. For the ceremony in particular, he displayed his great eye and quick reaction time to document every moment and every angle, including crowd reactions. He came well prepared too with 2 Sony mirrorless cameras and a large off-camera flash to ensure even lighting. From our 8-hour shoot he provided over 1,400 fully edited photos (each 61MP) via a Google Drive download link. We were extremely please with the quality and speed of our portfolio (fully delivered within 2 weeks). On top of that, George happily provided me with the full edited portfolio in TIFF file format, per my request. The file sizes are much larger so I gave him a 512GB USB drive which he loaded and shipped back to me. I really can't say enough good things about George. So just book him now and I know you'll be pleased with the results!

From our very first meeting at the Waterview, the entire staff was friendly, engaging, and professional. As a LGBTQ couple, my husband and I knew this would be the right venue for us. They had all of the right facilities, accommodating all of our needs, and flexibility with dates and costing. The day of the event was seamless with no stress for my husband or I. Our families all enjoyed the Waterview from the ceremony through dinner and dancing. Our coordinator, Kat, was absolutely incredible. She was able to take our vision and make it a reality. We cannot say enough about the staff and facilities. The Garden Room and East room are simply amazing. Highly recommend the breakfast sandwiches at the end of the night--people are still talking about them!

Sweet Blooming Florist was a great choice for our wedding flowers. Sarah and her team were extremely fast and efficient in their communication throughout the planning process, which I really appreciated during the hectic wedding planning timeline. The flowers turned out beautifully on our wedding day - Sarah captured my vision perfectly with the arch, bouquets and centerpieces.

If I were to choose one word that describes MC Visuals, it’d be “breathtaking”. Honestly, the way I feel cannot even be explained in words. They offer both photography and videography. The quality of the photos and video is just astounding that it was way better than I had expected. I was looking for a certain vibe and they fit the bill. Some things to note: 1. They respond in a timely manner. Well-organized. 2. Very sweet couple who will make you feel very special during your special day. 3. Outgoing personalities that’ll help you feel more comfortable being in front of the camera. 4. Again, the QUALITY of the photos and videos. I can’t stress this enough. They go above and beyond. And capture your day in a way that it feels like a dream. I am immensely satisfied with their work. If I were given the chance to do it all over again, I’d choose MC Visuals every time.

  • Serves Shelton, CT

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.
