You want the energy to build instead of fade. And when it’s all said and done, you want to wake up the next morning with a full camera roll and a group chat that won’t stop blowing up. If that’s the kind of night you’re imagining, we're your people and we're rooting for you Let's chat when you feel like it

They catered to all of our unique touches (can't miss the t-shirt toss), always making sure the day would feel like ours, and then we had the chance to tear up the dance floor long into the evening!

We only needed to tour one venue, and it was Blenheim. After our initial walkthrough of the space, we were convinced that this was everything that we could want in a venue and then some. Having over 12 years of wedding planning experience, Min and Morten offered us assurance that our wedding day would be executed beautifully- and it was. The Blenheim family were incredibly detail-oriented, clear, and responsive during the planning process. They guided us through multiple virtual meetings, providing extensive planning documents to ensure our day would run smoothly. As a person that doesn't love planning, they supported me and offered suggestions- making sure that the day would flow effortlessly. Their natural, open, and beautifully rustic venue was the ideal location for our special celebration; the venue itself reflected us as a couple and we have not stopped receiving compliments on the venue and the attentive and personable staff at Blenheim. The food was absolutely delicious - our guests raved about the amazing appetizers during cocktail hour. We had many last-minute changes and the Blenheim team did not miss a beat in executing our every wish. We are so grateful to have found Blenheim Hill Farm and we cannot thank them enough for making our wedding day perfect in every way!

Wedding Planning Plus was an excellent choice for our wedding planning needs for our June 2025 wedding at the Equniox Resort in Manchester, VT. From the start, their communication style was direct, helpful, and calming, which was greatly appreciated as we planned our big day. The quality of their work and value they provided was outstanding - they were focused, supportive, and incredibly well-connected in the region, using their network of vendors to perfectly execute our wedding and beautifully and bringing our garden party tent reception vision to life. On the day of, Eliza ran the schedule effortlessly and her competence completely allowed my husband and I to be fully present. In particular, we appreciated the way that she approached us over the course of the wedding to check if we still wanted to do the next scheduled item, it gave us a sense of control over how we spent our time rather than feeling like we were manically running from task to task. So many of our friends and family have reported back that the wedding was the smoothest of the weddings they had attended this year, and its all thanks to WPP. We are so grateful for the incredible support Wedding Planning Plus provided and would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

Thomas and his team were wonderful for our wedding in December! Right from the start he was super helpful to give us all the information and didn't sugar coat anything. I will say I was a little suspicious at first when he said "I can do any style you want" I know some photographers only stick to certain styles. And with our wedding being in Sturbridge MA I was expecting a travel fee. But he wanted us to make sure that he was a professional, he keeps things fair all across the board. Thomas is also super quick when it comes to messaging! If I had any questions he would respond rather quickly. He surpassed my expectations with how accommodating him and his team were when working with us, even changing our minds about packages and addon's only a couple weeks out. On the actually day of the wedding, Thomas and his team were truly our hype men! Even when I was getting ready with my bridesmaids he was in on all of our jokes and making us laugh. While I was getting ready, I heard that the groomsmen and my husband were having the best time getting all the group photos of them. I can not recommend this team enough!

The ceremony audio was clear and perfectly timed, and during cocktail hour and dinner, he seamlessly incorporated our must-play songs without missing a beat.

Photographing weddings and elopements is a privilege that I do not take lightly. I treat each moment with as much care as if it were my own! While I am happy to take on weddings of any size, I specialize in intimate weddings or engagement sessions where I can embrace a documentary, candid approach. My favorite moments to capture are those quiet, unplanned interactions. I adore the small details. The moments that sometimes get overlooked but often times help tell the story of your wedding day the most. I thrive with couples who aren’t afraid to be silly and embrace the moments as they come as opposed to forcing it.

She really is so talented at what she does by capturing all of the in-between, authentic moments that you want to remember forever.

Hi, I'm Jaci Berkopec! A self portrait of me would include a frozen pizza, caesar salad bag, and a bottle of white wine. But more importantly I am a wedding, lifestyle and adventure elopement photographer based out of NYC. Weddings and elopements are one of my passions because witnessing love and marriage is one of the most beautiful things we can witness. When shooting with me, expect to have tons of fun and lots of laughs because I like to be weird! Life is too short to be normal! I photograph all types of love.

I’m SO glad that we hired Jaci to be our photographer for our wedding. I felt that she was 100% aligned with what I wanted for the photography: minimal posing/forced moments and lots of candids of all the love and fun times. We’ve only received our preview photos so far (we just got married a couple weeks ago) but I can already tell she killed it. I’m already so happy with what we have and have been looking at them nonstop! On the day Jaci was a delight to work with and so much fun. Her and her assistant were so friendly and nice, really putting me at ease while I was freaking out. I am NOT comfortable in front of a camera but somehow in the pictures I look totally natural. They were also very much on the dance floor during the reception getting in the mix and getting those incredible pictures of people partying and celebrating that we hoped for. I remember a couple times spotting them out of the corner of my eye and just thinking “I know these are gonna be good” and they very much are! At brunch the morning after many people were remarking about how much fun the photographers were. Just good vibes and great photos all around, I would definitely recommend working with Jaci!

The Rosemary at Spano Lake was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, Jackie and Danny were quick to respond, knowledgeable about their offerings, and easy to work with in planning all the details. On the day of the wedding, they were attentive and went the extra mile to ensure our vision came to life.

Hello ! first and foremost, congratulations on your engagement as you embark on this new chapter of your lives. My name is Kevin and I started the ground work Kozmo Photography back in 2014. My goal has always been to capture the uniqueness of each and every couple on the biggest day of their journey together. It is therefore my belief that a great wedding photographer must be able to capture the big and small details throughout the day with minimal interference while being keenly aware of the surrounding conditions. This is my promise as I strive to deliver to each and every couple the wedding photos they deserve.

Kevin at Kozmo Photography is top-notch! He goes above and beyond to make sure he captures every moment of your special day. From the moment I booked him to the moment we received our wedding photos, I knew we made the right choice. He was so personable and fun to get to know at our engagement photos that I knew he would be perfect for our wedding day. He quickly responded to all emails I sent during the wedding planning process. He met with us a few weeks before the wedding to make sure he knew exactly what types of photos we wanted and to make sure we had a good game plan for the day of the wedding. On the day of the wedding, he was great at making those getting photographed feel comfortable but he also made sure everything flowed well. For example, my veil kept falling out so during pictures he personally put it back in and it stayed! He captured every moment beautifully! He was there while we were getting ready all the way until we left the venue at the end of the reception. Kevin will go above and beyond to make your day and your photos perfect!

At ​A Lively Event, we specialize in thoughtful, detail-driven wedding planning for couples. Our focus is simple: bringing your unique wedding vision to life while building a genuine relationship with you every step of the way. We believe that planning your wedding should be just as joyful as the day itself. We prioritize communication, trust, and collaboration. Whether you’re dreaming of a romantic mountain ceremony or an elegant ballroom celebration, our team is here to guide you with expert logistics, creative solutions, and unwavering support. We handle the behind-the-scenes details so you can stay present and excited for your big day.

From the very first phone call with Katie with A Lively Event, I knew she was meant to be in our lives. We instantly clicked. Hiring her felt less like choosing a wedding planner and more like gaining a built-in best friend who also happens to be a logistics genius and life-saving personal assistant all wrapped in one. Katie has a remarkable gift for bringing every vision together seamlessly, even when there are many voices, ideas, and passionate opinions swirling in the mix. Every detail was handled with care, every question answered before I even had to ask. If anything went sideways (and let’s be real, there’s always something), she swooped in with grace and handled it before I even realized there was an issue. I never once had to stress or lift a finger. She was our voice, our advocate, and the one person who always ensured our wishes were front and center, and truly was the key to how perfect our wedding day turned out to be. Thanks to Katie, those few precious hours of our wedding day became some of the most unforgettable memories of our lives. Her heart, her hustle, and her unwavering support made every moment perfect. We are forever grateful to have worked with her, and even more grateful that she’s now a part of our life beyond the wedding. If you want someone who will champion your love story with joy and finesse, Katie is the one.
