Modern Strings was the perfect choice for the music at our wedding ceremony. From our first interaction, Celine and Ben were prompt, thorough, and effective in their communication, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. Their elegant, timeless, and cohesive performance upscaled the vibe of our ceremony in a way that felt truly special. Celine and Ben were also very accommodating and made themselves available to us on short notice, which we greatly appreciated. It was the perfect touch for our ceremony, and I'm so glad we didn't skip out on having them there.

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.

**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.

WildRoot Moments was such a joy to work with on our elopement day. From our initial conversations, Destiny’s communication was quick, excited, and very clear - putting us at ease throughout the entire process. Her work is truly beautiful, captivating, and timeless, as she documented our day perfectly and captured the emotions of the event flawlessly. She is such a kind soul and was so understanding and patient in during our time together— time shared with our two year old who didn’t always take to photo instructions very well. I absolutely love the work she produced, and could not recommend WildRoot Moments enough to any couple looking for a talented and professional wedding photographer!! We also received our gallery so quickly, which was amazing and shows how dedicated she is to her work!

We truly could not have asked for a better officiant for our wedding! Eloise was everything we hoped for kind, professional, and incredibly organized and she went above and beyond to create a ceremony that was heartfelt, personal, and unforgettable. From our very first interaction, she made everything feel so easy. She brought us a full, beautifully written ceremony plan that felt like it was crafted just for us. She took the time to get to know our story and wove it into the ceremony in such a meaningful way from our high school beginnings and proposal at Wallace Park, to the small things that make our relationship special, like our shared love of travel and beach trips. One of our favorite parts was how she incorporated the Sand Ceremony. It was something we really wanted, and she made it feel so symbolic and unique to us. Her words during that moment, about blending our lives while still honoring who we are as individuals, were so touching. Standing together at that table, surrounded by our loved ones, felt like the perfect representation of our union. She also honored our late grandparents with such grace and respect, bringing them into the ceremony in a way that felt spiritual and comforting. From her guidance for our family during the opening, to the blessing at the end, she brought clarity, presence, and peace to every step. She managed to strike the perfect balance between emotional, thoughtful, and light-hearted (including a little humor that made us and our guests smile!). Every guest felt included and every word felt intentional. Having her as our officiant made our ceremony not just official, but truly meaningful. We are so grateful for her work and presence on such an important day. If you are looking for someone who will thoughtfully and lovingly guide you through your wedding ceremony, she is absolutely the one. Thanks again! – Logan & Kaelyn

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.

This summer I had the pleasure of having Cate photograph my backyard micro wedding. She was great to work with and made sure to do meetings with us prior to the wedding to plan the photos we wanted and map out the timing of the day. This way it was an extremely smooth process for family photos prior and after the ceremony. Cate made the wedding photo experience so fun and the results were incredible! I couldn’t have asked for better photos. She got me a sneak peek within 24hrs and by 2-3 months our edited gallery was ready. Overall, our wedding moments wouldn’t be what they are without Cate’s amazing photos. I highly recommend her for your wedding.

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,900
  • Serves North Branford, CT

As a veteran DJ with 20+ years of experience and 250+ weddings, I create sophisticated, custom music programs based on your tastes. I handle all audio logistics—from timeline planning to day-of run-of-show. Pricing: Evening Celebration ($1,900): Cocktail, Dinner, and Dancing with 2 sound stations and polished MC services. Full Day Experience ($2,500): 3 sound stations plus my battery-powered ceremony system for vows on beaches or gardens—no noisy generators. My resume includes tours in the U.S./Europe/Japan, and playing alongside artists like Drake, Calvin Harris, and LCD Soundsystem. I bring elite professionalism to every event.

As someone with a background in the events and music industry, my standards for production are incredibly high. Edwin (DJ Konsept) completely exceeded them for my wife Emily and my wedding in Montauk, NY. From our first conversation, Edwin was the consummate professional. His communication is exceptional- he is highly responsive, asked detailed questions to understand our specific vision, took careful notes, and was completely open to direction. We gave him a complex, multi-stage run-of-show, and he executed every phase flawlessly. He managed our outdoor ceremony, providing perfectly balanced mics and audio so everyone could hear our vows. He then seamlessly transitioned to setting the mood for our outdoor cocktail hour, and ultimately closed the night out by crushing a high-energy indoor afterparty. He arrived over-prepared with backup equipment and intuitively grasped the distinct musical vibe needed for each portion of the day. Technically, Edwin is a master. His beat-matching, transitions, and ability to read a room's energy are unmatched. He completely avoided the typical "cheesy" wedding tracks, weaving together exactly the right mix to keep our guests engaged. Furthermore, his pricing is incredibly fair and transparent, offering immense value for the high-end talent and peace of mind he brings to the table. If you want an incredibly talented, stress-free professional who operates with style and a cool, collected energy, you need to hire Edwin. He made our wedding day absolutely magical!

Hi, I’m Rafael, the owner and creative behind JR Media Solutions. I believe wedding days should feel calm, joyful, and fully lived not rushed or staged. While I’m new to Zola, I’ve spent years photographing and filming weddings across Connecticut and beyond, earning over 100 five-star reviews by being dependable, organized, and genuinely invested in my couples. My approach is simple: show up prepared, stay present, and document your day honestly so you can relive it for years to come.

JR Media Solutions was the perfect choice for our wedding. Rafael captured every special moment from getting ready to dancing the night away and everything in between. Our sneak peek and wedding photos came earlier than expected and are so beautiful. We can't stop looking through them. Taking photos with each table on their way to the buffet was a brilliant idea and allowed us to get quality photos with everyone vs. photos of them sitting at their tables. Rafael was very professional, reasonably priced, a pleasure to work with, and did an excellent job behind the camera. We highly recommend him!

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!

I am hopeless romantic and I will probably shed a tear at every wedding I attend or photograph, so if you see me wipe a tear at your wedding no you didn't lol. I am also a dog mom and I love animals in general, my puppy means the world to me! I am a dedicated, passionate, fun and caring person and I put love in everything I do.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jenni is an absolute gem of a human and a phenomenal photographer. She is so sweet and such a lovely personality. We first worked with Jenni to take our engagement photos, and my husband and I immediately felt comfortable and familiar with her. We are not comfortable in front of the camera at all, but Jenni somehow made us feel like we'd been taking photos together with her for years. After our engagement shoot, I knew Jenni needed to be our wedding photographer. We more or less picked our wedding date based on her availability! A few weeks after booking our wedding with Jenni, she sent us the loveliest care package with a typewriter-written note and a few goodies. She puts so much thought and care into everything she does! On the day of the wedding, Jenni immediately hopped into action. She was patient, kind, and had such confidence in what she was doing (which was so needed, considering you're dealing with not just us as the couple, but our families as well). We were barely past the weekend after our wedding, and we already have sneak peeks! Jenni is a master! Looking at what she was able to capture is truly amazing. I usually do not like looking at photos of myself, but I can't stop looking at these pictures!! I can't believe the gallery she sent is just the sneak peeks - I can't wait to see what else she captured when we receive the full gallery in a few weeks! Jenni is truly the best at what she does. I can't recommend her enough!!

If you’re a bride on the fence about hiring a coordinator—trust me when I say you will want Raquel, in your corner. She is truly a saint dropped on this earth for brides everywhere! As a Type A bride, I knew I needed someone who could match my level of organization—but what I found in Raquel was so much more. From the moment we signed with her, she stayed consistently connected and fully invested. She never missed a beat when it came to vendor communication, design details, timelines, or logistics. More importantly, she took the time to truly understand us—our vision for the day, our personalities, and even our family dynamics (the good, the bad, and everything in between). Raquel is calm, collected, and incredibly organized—exactly the energy every bride needs. On our wedding day, she was essentially our stunt double: always in sync, always one step ahead! She greeted and managed every vendor, kept the day moving seamlessly, and allowed me to fully enjoy special moments with my bridesmaids without worrying about a single detail. She came prepared with her own wedding-day emergency kit—something I didn’t realize the value of until it saved the day multiple times. From reinforcing my bustle (more than once!), lint-rolling my husband’s jacket before photos, to literally sewing a groomsman’s ripped pants —Raquel handled it all effortlessly. You would never have known anything went wrong, because the entire day felt flawless. She has an incredible intuition—knowing exactly when to give us space to enjoy our guests and dance, and when to step in with support (whether it was another bustle fix or a quick heel-to-slipper change later in the night). Raquel doesn’t just guide you through planning and execute the day perfectly—she becomes fully invested in your wedding. She celebrates it with you, and even relives it when your photos and videos arrive, as if it were her own! Hiring Raquel was hands-down one of the best decisions we made, and we truly owe the seamlessness and joy of our day to her!

Emma at First Blush Floral & Planning was an absolute treasure to work with, and we couldn't recommend her more. As a wedding couple who had to pivot unexpectedly from original vendor and venue plans, the minute I got on a call with Emma, I knew she would be perfect in helping our vision come to life. Cool, calm, collected, organized and knowledgeable, she listened to what we wanted and made it come to life. We felt so reassured that we also added Fist Blush's planning services on to our floral package. It was such peace of mind in those final weeks (and the big day) to know she was behind the scenes of it all. Forever grateful! The pouring rain and day-of chaos stood no chance.

Lauri was fantastic to work with and we are so grateful we found her. She was a caring a nurturing presence throughout, was very receptive to our requested changes as we planned the ceremony script, and was clearly motivated by doing what would be right for us. She met with me and my fiance about four times during our wedding planning process to get to know us and modify our ceremony plan/script to what spoke most to us most as a couple. She was knowledgable about a variety of cultural traditions and helped us incorporate the Irish Hand Fasting Blessing into our ceremony, providing us with an everlasting, unique memory and memento (the handfasting chord) of our promises to each other. We received several compliments from our wedding guests about Lauri's ease and professionalism while she officiated our wedding. We highly recommend her! - Tess, May 2025 Bride, Bill Miller's Castle

Nadia and Alexis are absolutely amazing. From engagement pictures to my trail (recommend everyone does one) to the wedding they were hands down incredible and also for me, one of the most important parts of my special day. I used them for my entire bridal party including moms and little girls and they were able to accommodate on the spot to everyone’s hair and makeup request. I changed my hair last second and Alexis mastered the look I was wanted. My hair and makeup lasted from Noon time until 11pm (when I took it out or else it would have last longer!) and still looked like it had just been done. My husband also took the cake to my face not once but twice, I had to use wipes to clean it off and my makeup never changed. I could go on and on but the only thing to know is they will not disappoint and you will look flawless and beautiful. Book them now you will not regret it!!

Lauren Flanagan Design

  • Florist
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves North Branford, CT

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!

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!!!!

Hi Everyone! My name is Amber and I am a traveling bridal stylist. I have been a stylist for over 10 years and love every minute of it. I specialize in creating timeless beautiful looks that will not only last a day but a lifetime.

Amber is a very close friend of mine. I have been lucky enough to have her doing my hair and makeup for years, and I’m always so pleased with how beautiful and natural it turns out. I can give her the most vague description of what I want and it still turns out perfect every time! Aside from her amazing talents, Amber is sweet, fun, bubbly, and beautiful inside and out. Highly recommend!
