Awarded Best of Zola
Since I had worked as a newspaper journalist in Maine for 25 years, I knew Carl Walsh's work - and knew he was a talented photographer adept at getting beautiful, candid portraits in a short amount of time. But since David and I only had an hour for our outdoor wedding before our dinner reservation, I was not expecting Carl to deliver so many incredible images. Chiefly because Carl faced other challenges. To start, we got married at the outset of Covid-19 in a very small ceremony in which we had to social distance from my 84-year-old mother-in-law, who was fighting lung cancer. Add to that the fact Barbara hated having her photo taken. And then there was the gusting coastal wind that kept blowing my hair in my face. But in Carl’s photos, you don’t see any of that - just dozens of tack-sharp images of beautiful moments filled with tenderness and laughter. He turned our special day into art. And he did so seamlessly, quietly, confidently, and with a kind, happy spirit that added to the day's magic.

Chad understood the assignment! We were drawn to Chad because he also enjoys country music, appreciates the oldies, and knows how to jam like it’s 2010. Chad is high energy and he was a great MC all night. He perfectly timed all of our ceremony music, including a high energy moment for our flower dude! He introduced us with much enthusiasm and kept the party flowing all night. He perfectly incorporated our “must play” songs - during cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing - and he respected the sweetness of our special first dances. We truly enjoyed working with Chad and would recommend him to any couple looking for the hottest wedding day playlist!

Weddings by Kaileigh, LLC 
Rating: 5.0 (36 reviews)
  • Planner
  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Dayton, ME

Hello! I’m Kaileigh, owner of Weddings by Kaileigh, LLC. I established my business in April 2023, and have done over 50 weddings in the last three seasons. I was a teacher for 11 years, so planning and coordinating comes naturally to me. I also ran the hospitality committee at my school. Most importantly, I'm a mom of two amazing, little humans and a wife to a supportive husband. I love to garden, be outside and go adventuring with my kids. In 2023, I took a leap and started my next adventure in the wedding planning industry, and got my wedding planning certificate. I am also a venue coordinator part-time.

Awarded Best of Zola
This one is going to be long because we have so many things to say about this incredible woman. I don’t even know where to start with Kaileigh. We found her on Zola at the early stages of planning and we’re so beyond grateful and thrilled to have had her with us through this journey. She is so incredibly organized, on top of everything, prompt, efficient, kept us on track and so supportive. She is super creative and had so many great ideas that brought our vision to life and made it even better than we imagined. Planning with her was fun, easy and very enjoyable. She was at all of our vendor meetings, asked questions we never thought to ask, and made sure we were happy with everything at every point and was easy to pivot. As we approached our big day, she just continued to blow us away and we felt so much less stress than I think most people probably feel. We knew we were in the best hands with Kaileigh who had our back, knew our vision and who we knew we could count on. Her work can be somewhat chaotic I would imagine, but you’d never be able to tell by looking at her. She is so poised, calm, composed, competent, decisive, efficient, energetic, professional and dynamic. One of my favorite things I noticed working with her is her undeniable joy and love for this industry and what she does. She is in her element and it is clear to anyone who observes her that this is where she belongs. This work fuels her and she invests so much of herself in everything she does. Not only is she so wickedly talented and smart, she is just so kind, sweet, compassionate, funny, lighthearted and just the coolest human. It didn’t take long for us to fall in love with her and just want to be her friend. By the time our rehearsal rolled around, I felt like it was weird that she was just present for the event and not sitting at the table with us! At this point we just considered her our friend and just wanted to hang out and celebrate with her! Going into our wedding day, I felt a sense of calm I never, ever thought I would be able to experience. I’m a person that struggles with anxiety, I feel overwhelmed, I overthink and worry about everything and I was convinced I would be beside myself with stress and anxiety on my wedding day but I was completely fine.. I was calm and was able to enjoy my preparation, spending time with my girls and just relax. That is 1000% thanks to Kaileigh. I knew everything was being handled and I trusted her judgement, abilities and knowledge and that it was going to be amazing… and I was right! Walking into this beautiful venue with all of our visions that came to life right in front of me took my breath away. It was GORGEOUS!! Throughout the night, Kaileigh continued to keep everything running smoothly. I needed her quite a few times for different things and she was never far and always ready for whatever it was. She even helped me out of my wedding dress and into a reception dress in tiny stall with barely enough room for one person, let alone two… which tells you the level of comfort one builds with a person like Kaileigh. It was like my sister or my best friend helping me out. She was everywhere all at once and never broke a sweat. We’ve gotten nothing but absolutely raving compliments on her from our friends and family that attended. Everyone noticed how expertly she put this wedding together and how it all went off so perfectly. We are so thankful for her. Do yourself this favor and book Kaileigh for your most important day.

Sometimes photos feel stiff, but not these. They look like real life, full of fun and happiness. I loved how comfortable they made everyone feel. Even the guys who usually hate being photographed were laughing and smiling. The video honestly blew me away. It had the perfect mix of emotion and fun.

Justin did an INCREDIBLE job at our wedding. His preparation and attention to detail beforehand was immaculate, as he spent over an hour with my partner and me going over the entire wedding day step by step. The sound systems were flawless- everyone could hear our vows during the ceremony and the quality of the sound during the entire day and night was exceptional. He kept our wedding very organized and was the perfect host. Regarding the music selection, he allowed us to make playlists for the cocktail hour and reception which he stuck to using beautiful transitions between songs. Our guests were dancing the entire night! All of our guests said it was the most fun wedding they had ever attended. 10/10 DJ, would definitely recommend him for any event. I included a pic of me doing the worm in my wedding dress. The dance floor was too packed so I had to do it on the side!

From the very beginning, the team at The Granite Rose made the entire planning process feel easy, organized, and joyful. Jillian, Anna, Lily, and Briana were incredible every step of the way. During planning, they were also extremely helpful in working within our budget, helping us get the best possible value while never taking anything away from the guest experience. Everything felt thoughtful, intentional, and worth every penny. We brought in a lot of our own décor and were able to drop everything off the day before. When I arrived on my wedding day and saw the room, I was completely blown away. The setup was absolutely perfect — even better than I could have imagined. As a bride, I felt completely stress-free, knowing every single detail was being handled. A very special shoutout to Jillian, who stayed with us through all of the formalities and made sure the entire day ran smoothly. Her calm, reassuring presence allowed us to truly enjoy every moment without worrying about timelines or logistics. Victoria, the General Manager, is truly exceptional — fun, warm, professional, and incredibly organized. She made the entire experience feel joyful and seamless. Our Banquet Captain, Lucas, ensured everything ran flawlessly. Grace, Michael, Kiara, and Elijan provided amazing service throughout the night. The food was absolutely delicious thanks to Chef Jim and Sous Chef Corey, and Abby was a fantastic bartender who kept the energy high all evening. We also want to highlight our amazing vendors. Laurie from Susanne’s Weddings was so fun to work with and truly saw our vision, bringing it to life beautifully through the florals. Our cake from Jacques Pastries was both stunning and delicious — we especially loved the red velvet top tier. DJ Dan from Main Event kept the dance floor packed all night and played all of our favorite songs. Our hot pink, winter disco ball wedding vision came to life in the most beautiful way. We are forever grateful to The Granite Rose and this incredible team for giving us a day we will cherish forever.

  • Photographer

  • Serves Dayton, ME

I'd say my photography style would be something along the lines of "lifestyle photography". [That means that posing you in silly ways that seem fake / awkward isn't really my jam.] I mean, unless that gets some snuggles & laughs. I'm ALLLL about that. I like to capture REAL life with REAL emotions and REAL smiles. Your session should be relaxed and fun. [All while I get some kick-ass photos!] I will most likely make a giant fool of myself at your session, so you'll feel like a professional. I sing, trip, laugh, make noises, mention inappropriate things, show my nerdiness. AKA YOU'RE GOING TO DO JUST FINE.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you are looking for photographers who not only deliver high quality pictures but also help to make your day fun and enjoyable, April and Jordan are the ones for you! I can not even describe how incredible my experience with Alba Lumos was. April was able to use her own vison while also hearing what we wanted and incorporating that as well. My now husband is SOO uncomfortable being in front of a camera, and she was able to make his feel comfortable and even enjoy having his photos taken! The sneak peak pictures (attached) from the wedding are INCREDIBLE!!!! I will be doing all future photos with Alba Lumos, and highly recommend them!

My heart beats for real, authentic moments—the kind where love and laughter come effortlessly.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our goal for wedding photos was to be transported back to our wedding day - more of a storytelling style than formal portraits. Felisha totally nailed it, and somehow managed to capture some extra magic in there too. Leading up to the wedding, Felisha was great at helping us feel comfortable with her, and we’re usually camera shy! We felt like we made a new friend! We weren’t planning to do a “first look”, but after how much we loved our engagement photos we decided to add that element to our wedding day as an excuse to get more time with Felisha and have some more Amazing portraits. During the wedding, Felisha and her second shooter were totally professional and unobtrusive - we didn’t notice them doing their thing, and neither did our guests. She was fun to work with, super on top of everything, and the results speak for themselves. We’re already dreaming up other life events that we might want to have professionally photographed, as an excuse to work with her again!

Hi, I’m Julie! I’ve been photographing weddings for about ten years now (holy cow, do I feel old!), starting with photographing friends' weddings and quickly falling in love with the work. While I adore capturing gorgeous portraits of the bride and groom and the quiet (and sometimes chaotic!), beautiful moments during a wedding/elopement/engagement session, those ridiculous candid moments (like when a stranger offers you a fry on the boardwalk during your bridesmaid photos) truly make your day uniquely yours. I'd absolutely describe my style as a mixture of classic, artistic and photojournalism, but my heart lies in capturing candid moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
Julie was amazing to work with! We chose Wedding Package number 3 so we got engagement photos as well. It was my husband and I's first time getting professional photos, and Julie made it stress-free and fun! She gave us very simple directions for her photos and they all came out fantastic, even with it still being March and several inches of snow still on the ground. Our engagement photo session and the photos themselves made us confident in our choice to hire Julie as our wedding photographer. Day of the wedding Julie was just as fun and easy going to work with. She captured pre-ceremony moments and got some great candids of our guests. Julie asked us a few weeks before the wedding what photos we wanted to capture day of, and she made sure she got all of them. It rained most of our wedding day, and Julie was a trooper and still took pictures outside with us! I want to write more, but I don't want to carry on too much. Julie will not disappoint, she is phenomenal!

Sarah is an amazing photographer. I looked at probably a dozen other photographers for our wedding, but my fiancé and I were both super impressed with Sarah’s work and affordability. We recently had our engagement photos done and I was an anxious mess since I don’t normally wear make up or have my photos taken. However, I’m OBSESSED with how the photos came out. I feel so pretty looking at them and they truly represent our love and goofy relationship. Cannot wait to see the photos from our wedding next year.

We hired jimmy for our wedding back in September and he was great to work with from the start. Communication from booking up until the wedding was timely, professional, and responsive. He was able to provide music for our ceremony and and 2 locations during the reception. We had a family member who had a medical emergency during cocktail hour which delayed our timeline and all our vendors were accommodating for the changes. During the dance floor, he was able to make some personalized announcements, and the music fit the vibe of our group perfectly. I would definitely recommend jimmy for your event!

We worked with Kevin Maldonado for our 11.17 ceremony and reception at the Granite Rose in Hampstead NH. Main Event was the recommended DJ service from our venue, and the matching process to put us with the rigth DJ was so easy. Once we met with Kevin, we had high hopes for our big day, and I am not exaggerating when I say that Kevin blew our hopes out of the water. Kevin helped with audio for our ceremony, before doing music and speeches at our cocktail hour and reception. We requested a high energy dancefloor, with classics from all decades to get everyone on their feet, and wanted to have an insane dance party with our friends and family. He killed it. The energy on the dancefloor was impeccable, and Kevin delivered our vision PERFECTLY. He was so professional, but fun, and everything went very smoothly, no hiccups, no complaints. I would absolutlely, 100% recommend Kevin, and Main Event Entertainment, for anyone looking for a DJ for a wedding or event. You will not be disappointed.

  • Serves Dayton, ME

My business started when I was planning my own wedding. I love flowers, but we couldn't justify spending hundreds or thousands on real flowers to throw them away in a week when we also found out we were expecting our first child at the same time. In came wood flowers! After much practice, I discovered I have an eye for colors and floral design and now 4 years and MANY weddings and THOUSANDS of home decor pieces later, this is not only my passion but it is also my full time business. No side hustle here! You will have my undivided attention. I'll make sure your floral dreams come to life in wood and the best part, they LAST FOREVER!

The Victoria Inn and Pavilion was the perfect wedding venue for us. From the very beginning, their communication style was timely, thorough, and flexible - they worked with us every step of the way to ensure our special day was exactly how we envisioned it. The quality of their work and overall value was truly exceptional - the venue was elegant, affordable, and had a classic, timeless feel. They were incredibly accommodating, allowing us to mix and match our experience to meet our specific needs, including being flexible on catering. We also had the option to rent out the inn for the weekend, which we opted out of, but would have been perfect for a larger group. AK, the venue coordinator, was a pleasure to work with and made sure we were able to meet all of our requests without breaking the bank. If you're looking for an affordable wedding space that doesn't compromise on elegance, we highly recommend The Victoria Inn and Pavilion.

I’m a New Hampshire wedding photographer, who specializes in candid, natural wedding photography, serving all of New England for over fifteen years. Almost all of my couples come to me saying that they feel weird in front of the camera and worried about how their photos will turn out. But of course they want those gorgeous, Pinterest-worthy shots! My laid-back attitude will help put you at ease, helping your true personalities shine through (with simple and fun guidance for the posed photos). And my quiet and calm nature makes it easy for me to blend into the background, to get tons of candid photos that you will make you laugh and cry.

Where do I start? From the very beginning Kim and her team at Hyla Brook Estate were always nice and answered all questions even if I asked soo many!! They had made wedding day smooth even though we were a little crazy. From the table setups, to the small things that had to be changed last minute. They just absolutely killed it, the venue is stunning, the team members are absolutely wonderful. I have zero complaints! They are pros no matter what you throw at them. They created my wedding day welcome mirror, they have an amazing something borrowed collection, amazing makeup/hair room, so many photo locations on site, they coordinated well with my vendors, literally nothing went wrong on my wedding day! Just felt amazing! I would recommend them OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN! No regrets! Thank you Kim & her team !

I’ve been making pictures since I was 12. My parents gave me an ancient 35mm Konica Autoreflex camera, told me to get after it, and the rest, as they say, is history. My role as a photographer is to capture the rare, vulnerable, epic, extraordinary, and wonderfully ordinary moments of life, as well as the beautiful details in between. I strive to make images that come from the heart and will tell your story for years to come. Also, I might cry at your wedding. It happens.

Jo was the best addition to our day - everyone should hire her! She takes amazing photos and is so fun to work with. We are pretty sure that neither of us have had our photo professionally taken since middle school, so we really wanted a photographer that would make us feel at ease, and Jo is a master at that. Less of a photographer, more just a friend with a camera, she just becomes a part of the party. She took some major weather curveballs in stride, wrangled our huge families expertly, and made us feel so comfortable for the whole day. The whole process from the first emails, to engagement photos, to wedding day was smooth as silk. Our friends and family kept saying to us “your photographer is awesome” and we agree - best photographer ever!

At Nectar & Vessel our ethos is sustainability + bliss-forward designs. We specialize in arrangements that are full of texture, unique and lush. We crave the weirdo flowers, the heirloom varieties and mixing in contrasting natural elements. We don't try to be on-trend, rather we are intuitive with the flower and our clients and let the flower speak to us.

When I started planning my wedding, I had a general vision that I was going for, but did not have exact ideas on wedding florals. I knew was that I wanted my wedding to look timeless, sophisticated and organic. From my first meeting with Naomi, I knew she understood my vision. When I received the proposal, I was blown away that she took my ideas and made them even better than I imagined. She was creative with my vibe and budget, suggesting things like tall organic vessels around the ceremony versus a traditional arch and instead of just white flowers, suggested sophisticated neutrals. The day was that much more stunning because of Naomi's florals. They were truly art and my guests were raving about the design. I couldn't recommend N&V enough. Thank you so much again Naomi!
