Brittany's Floral Design did an incredible job with the flowers for our wedding. From the moment I first reached out, Brittany was a great communicator - she was responsive, attentive to my vision, and offered helpful suggestions to bring my ideas to life. The final flower arrangements were absolutely stunning and exceeded my expectations. The bouquets, centerpieces, and ceremony decor had such a beautiful, whimsical feel that perfectly matched the aesthetic I was going for.

Kristen is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, we cannot recommend her enough! From the first phone wedding consultation phone call we knew she was the one for us - she was SO down to earth & easy to communicate with throughout the entire process, we didn’t even meet with any other photographers after talking with her. We loved her so much when meeting her for our engagement photos that we had her also photograph our daughter’s 1st birthday a few months before our wedding. She was the perfect addition to our wedding day - her meticulous planning, calm but energetic demeanor, and continuous assurance made us feel so comfortable and you could feel the genuine excitement she felt capturing the special moments! We told her at the end of the night she will definitely be seeing us again to capture any/all future milestones and memories. Thank you for everything Kristen!!

For you to look back generations from now and recall exactly how you felt in that moment.

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer/videographer duo than Ryan and Brad. From the second we met them, they took all of our anxieties away and made us feel comfortable and at ease- even though we aren’t the type of people who love being in front of the camera. Our wedding was very recent so we don’t have all of our pictures / video, but the previews we saw were absolutely amazing. Not only incredible photographers, but incredible people- they took time out of their own day to scope out the most perfect spots for breathtaking pictures. Cannot recommend Willow Photo co enough. Thanks again Ryan & Brad!

I had left a previous review speaking to some dissatisfaction with our initial experience with our videography services. However, this review promoted an open and honest conversation with Luis that I am deeply grateful for. I felt heard in my feelings and Luis stepped up to correct the things that I felt had impacted our experience from our wedding day. I am extremely pleased with the results! Day of, our videographer was not Luis; however, Pito was very professional. While our initial video we received was not quite the length we had expected or paid for- Luis was able to swiftly correct this as well as re-edit with a fresh style and the end result was perfection! Before, watching the video made me sad as I had some frustrations about our experience, but our new highlight reel brings me a flood of happiness and I know we will enjoy this for many years, reminiscing on one of the best days of our life! I am very impressed with the communication from Luis and the corrections he was willing to make to make his customer happy- that demonstrated a true commitment to making sure the client is satisfied with the service, which is appreciated, especially during a busy wedding season! I want to thank Luis for going the extra step to make sure we were happy with the end results and service he provided.

Ayla's passion and artistic skill is obvious. She immediately understood our organic, airy, and romantic vision, and she and her team made it a reality. With her expertise, an assortment of poppies, ranunculus, chamomile, sweet peas, smilax, etc., brought so much beauty, life, and color to our wedding day. Every design element - from my bridal bouquet to tablescapes and tent installations to our ceremony chuppah (undoubtedly, the most stunning chuppah I've ever seen) - was perfect.

We had the Golden Scroll Soloists perform for our ceremony and cocktail hour at our wedding at OceanCliff this past April, and they were absolutely incredible! From the very beginning, Kevin was so responsive and made the entire process seamless. He provided curated playlists to make things easy, but also gave us the option to customize by selecting individual songs and listening to clips right on their website which we really appreciated. We chose the trio, and it was the perfect fit. We mixed modern songs with some timeless classics, and they brought it all to life beautifully. Our guests kept commenting on how unique and elegant the music was. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and would highly recommend Golden Scroll Soloists to anyone looking for live music for a wedding or special event. Truly a highlight of our day!

When searching for a photographer, I was overwhelmed by the number of options available. Dominique didn’t make me feel pressured. She provided us with her wedding guide, which gave us insight into who she is. When we met remotely, I instantly knew she was the one. She was enthusiastic, listened attentively, and asked us questions about what is important to us leading up to the wedding and beyond. She was great to work with, and I knew what to expect.

Joey G is like my cool uncle except he’s got sick DJ skills. He did our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Not only was he professional and organized, but he also brought an incredible energy to our wedding. For the ceremony and cocktail hour, we provided him with a specific music selection, and even though we never rehearsed together, he nailed it perfectly. During the reception, we gave him a playlist, and he struck the perfect balance between sticking to our choices and reading the crowd to keep everyone dancing. One highlight was when Joey G handed the microphone to people in the crowd, turning our reception into an impromptu karaoke party. It was a blast! He was not only fun and engaging but also very attentive to our needs. He asked how to pronounce each name correctly for the toasts, ensuring everything went smoothly. We requested that he not take song requests, and he respected our wishes completely. The sound quality was stellar, and his equipment setup was flawless. Joey G understood our need for clean music as we had many families with young children attending, yet he still kept the atmosphere lively and fun. The dance floor was packed with all 150 guests! Joey G was also a great help with announcements, coordinating toasts, and working with friends and family to announce the newlyweds and photo groups. His flexibility and attention to detail were impressive. Overall, I highly recommend Joey G to any couple looking for an awesome wedding DJ. He provided a questionnaire that made the whole planning process so easy, and his execution was simply fantastic. Joey G truly made our wedding day unforgettable!

Alex and the IT'S LIT Weddings & Events team were fantastic to work with for our wedding. Their communication was quick, resourceful and helpful throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work was excellent - they were super fun to collaborate with and made the day run smoothly from start to finish. They provided DJ services, a photo booth, uplighting and custom giant letters that added such a special touch. Alex even helped create a custom song for a special dance with my mom, making our day even more magical. The party kept going the whole night and we didn't want it to end! I highly recommend IT'S LIT Weddings & Events for any couple looking to make their wedding day unforgettable.

Lover of those in-betweens, laughter, and timeless moments. I’m here for it all! Let me help you capture them! Whenever you look back at your images I want you to remember the experience – the way he almost dropped you in that one photo because you were laughing that hard – or the time they gave you rapid-fire kisses up the side of your cheek. Basically – let me third wheel you and capture all the love you have for each other.

Plant Girl Shop made my floral dream come true for my wedding day! I couldn't believe how stunning all of the florals were when I finally saw them in person, I was truly in awe!!! It was so much fun to work with Chrstine and Laurie. They were so easy going, friendly, responsive, and helpful! They allowed me to make several changes throughout my wedding planning process and adapted the proposal just as I wanted it. I found that they convey the proposal to clients in the most visually pleasing and organized way. They show pictures of each flower that would be in the different arrangements, so you know exactly what to expect. Sometimes it can be hard to envision an arrangement when its not put together right in front of you but with this I could really see it come together. My Type-A self truly appreciated that level of detail in the process so I could envision what the florals would look like for that day! I can’t recommend Plant Girl Shop enough! They are floral experts and will bring your floral wedding vision to life!!

Jackie at Petallion Floral was the absolute best choice we could have picked to do the flowers for our wedding. Flowers are very important to both me and my husband since both of our names contain flowers and as a special symbol throughout both our lives before we met and together. From the very beginning, I had a good feeling about Jackie because I could tell she really cared about our vision, even before we had confirmed her services, we had gone back and forth a bunch of times and she offered up some lovely ideas. She was very reachable, flexible and attentive and we had a super helpful meeting in person to go over all our ideas, she stayed longer just to make sure we were all on the same page and she knew what we wanted. She went the extra mile to make sure some specific ethnic flowers we asked for were on the arrangement menu! On our wedding day, she made everything go smoothly and the flowers looked BEAUTIFUL!! We got several compliments about how gorgeous they looked and our ceremony arch looked spectacular, as did my bridal bouquet and our reception table arrangements. We couldn't have asked for a better florist, aside from being a genuinely kind hearted woman and pleasant to work with, she worked with us to stay within our budget and did not gouge us like so many others in the business. Whoever else you are considering for your floral needs, do yourself a favor and pick Jackie. She is the hands down BEST!!!

My name is Shelby Simone and I hope to get to know you as we come together for your family's big moments. I am a mom of 3 based in Rhode Island. I photograph weddings and family sessions throughout New England but travel nationally and internationally. I love what photography provides - memories. Photos help you remember the moment you said, "I do", those tiny newborn feet, and how much your child loved their first visit to the beach. I would be thrilled to help you and your growing family capture those moments that you will remember forever!

Shelby has been with our family since 2019 when she shot our engagement photos. Since then she has become one of our favorite people! From our wedding, to maternity photos, newborn session and our yearly family photos, Shelby is amazing. She’s so fun to work with and always makes our sessions fun and easy! I am so thankful to have met Shelby and can’t wait to use her for years to come.

Have it your way! That is my philosophy. There are so many different tastes and styles to accommodate, so I work extra hard to make your day exactly how you want it. What's the secret? I listen! I pay attention to each individual client and their own needs. I've been using this philosophy for years, and it has been working quite well! I am constantly learning more about my first love: Music! As a Master of Ceremonies, the philosophy is the same. I never say too much, it is not about me! It's about the client, and I never want to outshine or take any of their attention away.
