We had our engagement party at Little Gold and it was phenomenal. Our guests fell in love with Little Gold, as we did the moment we walked inside. Des and Sierra are so wonderful to work with and they have an eye for detail. Every single inch is picture perfect. I highly recommend hosting your event at Little Gold! It's a very magical place and immediately makes you feel right at home. For our party we hired a bartender, used Scratch Catering for food and we made the appetizers ourselves. We also brought our own decorations and it was just lovely making the space our own with our touches. I can't wait to host many, many more events there! I would give Little Gold 100 stars if I could.

Working with Lorinda and her team was an absolute DREAM. My husband and I got married at Belle Mer in Newport in September and I knew I wanted beautiful and colorful arrangements - something that would really pop and would be so dreamy and different. Cue Lorinda! I cannot speak highly enough about her incredible work. From the first consultation to the final bouquet, everything was absolutely perfect. She took the time to understand our vision, offered helpful suggestions, worked within our budget and brought our floral dreams to life in the most beautiful way. The flowers were stunning — elegant, fresh, and beautifully arranged. The bouquets were exactly what I envisioned, and the arrangements at the venue were simply breathtaking. It was clear that she put so much thought and care into every detail, and it truly made our special day feel even more magical. We also did our tablescapes through her using her candles, vases, etc. All worth it! Not only were the flowers gorgeous, but the level of professionalism and attention to detail was unmatched. We received countless compliments from our guests about the flowers! Thank you Lorinda, for truly bringing our vision to life. We couldn't have done it without you!

Carol Wild Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Block Island, RI

Hi! I’m Carol. I am based out of Warren, RI - the cutest lil’ New England town. I mostly photograph in RI and MA, and am willing to travel! The weddings I photograph are small and intimate. With the pandemic we saw a lot of people change their wedding plans to micro weddings, backyard weddings, and elopements. Though the reason for these changes came from public health concerns, I think there has been a shift in how we look at weddings. There is something so beautiful about the intimacy of the closest of family and friends gathered at your home or on the beach. I adore documenting these gatherings and it is a privilege to be a part of.

Awarded Best of Zola
Carol was able to jump in fairly last minute to photograph our tiny wedding that took place in our home. She was game for some outdoor photos and also took initiative to capture little details around our house. We loved working with her.

Beckerman House of Planning 

5.0

  • Planner
  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $2,750
  • Serves Block Island, RI

As the owner and lead planner, I am driven by a deep sense of energy and focus that I bring to work every day. My clients become a part of the Beckerman family whom I wholeheartedly care for. My journey in event planning began 9 years ago after completing my undergraduate degree in event planning and hospitality management, along with a minor in business and law. Later, I earned a master's degree in business and project management, which has helped me to gain a comprehensive understanding of planning.

Without Beckerman Planning, we would not have had the wedding of our dreams. Garbriella worked around the clock before and during our wedding to ensure EVERYTHING was covered and taken care of. Before the Wedding, Garbriella kept us on track; regularly checking in and suggesting next steps to ensure we stayed ahead of everything wedding planning. Her knowledge was essential in discussing quotes with vendors, making major decisions, and keeping us calm as the big date approached. We were extremely impressed with her professionalism when dealing with vendors, and can’t thank her enough for playing hard ball when the moments got tough and we were too stressed to do so. During the wedding weekend, I cannot stress enough the importance of having the Beckerman Planning team on-site. From setup until breakdown, the team was working non-stop to help us have the perfect wedding. The team was there setting up and ensuring that every vendor brought everything that was contracted and everything was in perfect order. Including staying late the night before to ensure a vendor fixed a major mistake with our seating chart. On the day of the event, it felt like magic how everything was just done before we could even think about it. We were able to relax and truly enjoy our day, not having to worry about ANYTHING. Garbriella even taught all the Groomsmen how to put on their boutonnieres!!! The schedule Garbriella put together was a lifesaver, and even better was her ability to ensure everyone was in the right place at the right time. We could seriously go on all day about the amazing things this team did for us, down to every little detail. Garbriella made sure throughout the day that we were not stressing or worrying. She happily jumped in at a moments notice to any and every request we had without hesitation. Going above and beyond is an understatement to the dedication the Beckerman Planning team brings to your event. We were ecstatic to get back to the Airbnb and find that Garbriella had already been there - with all of our leftover pizza waiting for us for a late night snack. The Beckerman Planning team even continued to work after our event to make sure everything was accounted for, we were not overcharged, and checking in on how we felt. Garbriella is truly a superstar and if you want the wedding or event of the year, she’s the one to hire to make that happen!

Crystal lake is truly a hidden gem. Pre Covid we had it booked indoors. Which is a beautiful rustic themed room that holds up to 200 with a beautiful view of the lake and a big bar. Then Covid happened. Instead of having to cancel completely they were able to accommodate WITHIN guidelines at their outdoor pavillion. The pavillion is a gorgeous structure out on the golf course. It has sides on it and Crystal lake had heaters so our Nov wedding was able to happen. The food was so amazing, the staff was so friendly. I wouldn’t have changed it for anything. The view at the pavillion was gorgeous too. It’s right on the lake. Our photographer was able to get so many beautiful shots. I loved working with Tracy, she is so organized and thought of everything that I may have missed and had many helpful suggestions. She made sure everything was perfect!

Irma and her team are absolutely INCREDIBLE! Hands down best videographer out there. We unfortunately weren't able to meet her until our wedding day (our fault, not hers) but she brought nothing but positive energy, professionalism, and FUN. Even beforehand during the planning process, she was available for any and all questions and ensured we were set to go the week of. She’s incredibly detail oriented and makes sure she can allow your personalities to shine. She has a creative eye for things I couldn’t imagine having in a million years. We had so much fun doing the prompts she gave us and she was able to capture such genuine moments without us realizing. She sent us a sneak peek video within 24 hours that we haven't been able to stop watching. We haven’t even gotten our full deliverables yet and already without a doubt know she was the best option we could’ve hired. I truly cannot say enough good things about her and Aidee and cannot recommend them enough!!! 100/10!

Move Mountains Co. was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding videography.

The quality of their work and value matched perfectly - the final video is a true work of art that captured the vibe and emotions of our special day. They knew what we wanted before we even fully articulated it ourselves. Their work is so creative and meaningful. Not only did they handle the videography with care and artistry, they helped in other thoughtful ways too - like helping me put my shoes back on! I can't thank Move Mountains enough for being so easy to work with and fully committing to understanding and fulfilling our hopes for wedding video memories we'll cherish forever.

Golden Scroll Soloists 

5.0

  • Ceremony only
  • Serves Block Island, RI

The Golden Scroll Soloists have been wowing Northeast audiences with a variety of styles for 20 years, melding familiar songs you love into an elegant string quartet experience. We helped popularize the "crossover string quartet", much like the Vitamin String Quartet, during the early days of classical crossover. Our style, now made mainstream by Bridgerton, predated the Netflix hit show by 15 years. We're ready to play for your ceremony, your cocktail hour, or maybe even your reception. Choose from a string quartet, string trio, string duo, or violin soloist. Let's start planning the soundtrack to your happily ever after!

The Golden Scroll Soloists delivered an absolutely exceptional performance that elevated our wedding ceremony to heights we never imagined possible. From our first interaction with Kevin, the director, until the final note played at our ceremony, their professionalism and artistic excellence shone through every aspect of their service. Kevin's communication was outstanding throughout the planning process. He was responsive, detailed, and genuinely invested in ensuring the music would perfectly match our vision for the day. This proved invaluable, especially given some unexpected challenges we faced during the ceremony. What truly sets this quartet apart is their ability to adapt and perform flawlessly even under difficult circumstances. Despite receiving no support or direction from our wedding planner (who was unexpectedly absent during the ceremony), the quartet showed remarkable poise and professionalism. When sudden rain threatened to disrupt the proceedings, they seamlessly adjusted without missing a beat. Even when timeline issues arose - again due to the missing planner - they demonstrated incredible flexibility and kept the musical program flowing beautifully. The musical performance itself was nothing short of magical. Their renditions of our chosen songs were deeply moving, perfectly capturing the emotion of each moment. The way they performed our most cherished pieces brought tears to many eyes, including our own. Their technical skill was evident in every note, but it was their ability to infuse each piece with genuine feeling that made their performance truly outstanding. We cannot emphasize enough how grateful we are for their presence on our special day. For any couple considering live music for their ceremony, we cannot recommend the Golden Scroll Soloists highly enough.

Hi, I’m Nicole (she/her) - a Rhode Island-based wedding photographer. I have more than a decade of experience shooting weddings of all kinds - and today, I work collaboratively with my couples to create photos that evoke how their day felt. Photos of honest and emotional interactions; small details that hold weight and meaning; effortless portraits that capture the feel of the surrounding space or landscape. The result is a narrative visual story of enduring human connections, and a chronicle of emotional moments that they can revisit time and time again.

I worked with Nicole for one of my very first video jobs at a wedding in Newport, RI. I can say having her as one of my first colleagues was a blessing! The way she treated all the vendors and the families at the wedding was admirable. She is extremely kind and welcoming and went above and beyond to assist the bride with anything that arose. I learned so much from her about being a true professional in the wedding industry. She is not only skilled at her craft but also at striking that perfect balance between organized and flexible. Nicole is a true team player and I would recommend her to anyone who wants a genuine, authentic, and easy going wedding photographer!

Tired of not seeing yourselves represented in the wedding industry? Welcome to the RTP fam - we're a husband and wife duo shooting a combination of digital, film and Polaroid photos so that your gallery will deliver all the vibes and capture your sick, nontraditional love. And because of all the time we'll spend together getting to know you and crafting the perfect photo timeline for your day, you'll feel like we're just your two best friends there to capture the moments. No matter your size, race, gender, sexual orientation or religion, we're here to hype you up as you share all your wildest wedding ideas with us!

Meaghan and Evan photographed our Halloween wedding and we couldn't imagine having anyone else! We met Meaghan and Evan last October when they shot our engagement photos. They were more than willing to trudge through our favorite park and stop at all our favorite spots to get some beautiful photos we used for our save the date. We got to get to know them a little more over at our favorite little ramen restaurant after the session and of course we were instantly sold! Meaghan was super communicative and responded to every email I sent her pretty much right away every single time. As we got closer to the wedding day, she sent an incredibly detailed questionnaire. It covered everything from our most important shots to what weird family dynamics she should be conscious of; we sincerely appreciated this level of care, especially as a queer couple with some iffy family things. When I was hiring vendors, it was extremely important to me to find vendors who were queer/queer friendly and body positive, and Meaghan checked off both boxes in spades. My wife and I both have huge body insecurities and are deeply self-conscious of photos-but Meaghan made us both feel so beautiful. I was never even aware of the parts of myself I am usually hyper aware of because Meaghan and Evan both made us feel so comfortable. We were able to laugh and feel every emotion without once worrying about how we would look in the photos. On the day of, Meaghan kept us right on track without rushing us or making us feel stressed. We were definitely running behind at points but Meaghan handled it all with grace and helped me keep my head above water the whole time. They captured every moment in such a storybook way that we are able to talk about and remember every detail of the day based on the photos. This gallery is such a keepsake and such a special reminder of the best day of our lives. Its so heartwarming to look back and see how happy we and our guests look. And my wife and I both couldn’t have asked for more stunning photos of ourselves. We both look and feel so feminine, so whimsical, so magical. She captured our authentic selves, which is what makes her photos so unique and beautiful. I can't wait to order our prints and have these photos in our home forever! Thank you, Meaghan and Evan. There's so much more I could say but I'll leave off with, we are so grateful to have had you on our day. We love our photos so much. And we can't wait to have you do another shoot for us sometime in the near future! We cannot recommend you highly enough!

We hired Kelly as our partial wedding planner but she also did our stationery, flowers, decorations, EVERYTHING. She is so amazing I cannot even being to describe how much we appreciated everything she did for us. She was there for us every step of the way from the very beginning. Kelly kept us calm, cool and collected at all times which is so important when you're planning a wedding. Also, her mom is very involved and is the sweetest woman ever.

Working with Cedar Edge Floral was a dream come true for our wedding day. Jackie and Katie were so friendly, compassionate, and welcoming throughout the entire planning process.

The floral arrangements they created for our special day were simply beautiful - unlike anything we had seen before from other florists. The colors and textures were gorgeous, unique, and high quality.

My couples mean the world to me. I love hearing their stories, what makes them tick, and the things that are important to them. It’s my goal to capture them exactly the way they are; how they crack jokes, poke fun, dance together, hold one another. I’m there to capture the genuine tears, the laughs, how you just fit so well together. With directive posing, I bring out real chemistry and personalities. With my laid back vibe, I’ll ensure even the photo-heavy parts of the day are a breeze. I believe every single part of a wedding should be a blast and that every couple should be celebrated in their own unique way.

I could not have asked for a better person to capture my wedding! On our wedding day, it poured rain and I was absolutely devastated that the outdoor wedding I had been dreaming of was not happening. As I was sitting there faced with that reality, about to ruin my makeup with tears, Andrea swooped in like a superhero and genuinely made me feel like the rain was a good thing. She was the only voice of reason that made me feel like everything was still perfect. She ran around in the rain with us all day capturing the most gorgeous photos and I didn’t feel like I missed out at all. She was prepared with clear umbrellas and we actually had fun! She is also just so talented, the pictures and the saturation are just absolutely gorgeous, and not only that but she also has an absolute talent for capturing joy and movement. All my vendors have chosen to use her photos from my wedding on their websites, seriously just hire her!!!

At 11 years old I made a short film with a VHS camera, and have been filming things ever since. I love being behind a camera, viewing the world through a variety of lenses, and am always striving for new inspired ways to film. I am a director, editor, and cinematographer, who has filmed over 600 weddings, and produced content for companies like Mott, Boston College, WB Mason, Big Orange Productions, YPO and the State of RI, among many others. When not making creative videos, I love eating Mexican food, watching movies, and playing with my dogs. I also volunteer and foster for Rhode Home Rescue, a non-profit animal rescue.

Larry was our videographer for our wedding on June 29, 2024 and we couldn't say enough good things about him! From the jump speaking with Larry via zoom leading up to the wedding, he was easy-going, funny, professional, and an overall cool dude. Larry is truly the best in the business. The highlight reels alone were phenomenal and breathtaking, making us all the more excited to receive the film. Our wedding was magical and our beautiful film exemplifies that and then some! It is so beyond special and I still can't believe we get to have it forever. Our family and friends who have seen the film have raved about it; many of them saying it is the best wedding film they have ever seen! You simply won't regret hiring LMproductions!

Weddings for me are such a perfect setting for a photographer. No two are ever alike regardless of setting or season, the variables are endless. This creates a never-ending challenge with which to grow as a visual storyteller. All while being surrounded by people experiencing the best day of their life, I can't imagine having a better job

We cannot say enough about our amazing wedding photographer, Trevor and his team! From the moment we met, Trevor put us at ease with his friendly demeanor and professional approach and he made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. He is super easy going and makes everything very stress free. On our wedding day, Trevor captured every moment with such creativity and skill. He always finds the perfect angles and lighting, which resulted in breathtaking photos that truly captured the essence of our special day. The entire process, from booking, engagement pics, day of and to receiving our photos, was seamless and stress-free. Trevor was super organized and took care of finding guests and whoever was on the shot list that we had given him. He was incredibly responsive, attentive to our preferences, and delivered beyond our expectations. I was super nervous for the day of the wedding and he 10000% calmed my nerves and made everyone feel so care-free. We cannot thank Trevor enough for his incredible talent, professionalism, and the beautiful way he captured the essence of our wedding. Our photos are amazing and I couldn’t imagine not having Trevor as our photographer. If you're looking for a photographer who will not only capture stunning images but also make your day truly special, we wholeheartedly recommend Trevor!! Thank you once again for everything!

Ready to Plan Your Dream Wedding? Ariana is originally from Cranston, Rhode Island and has always been a natural born leader. With her meticulous organizational skills and commitment to creativity, she founded AMC Weddings in 2018. Along with Ariana, the AMC Weddings team consists of two lead event assistants as well as multiple event team members to achieve a flawless wedding day for the couple.

Awarded Best of Zola
The best decision we made while planning our September 2022 wedding was hiring Ariana and the AMC Weddings team. Her attention to detail, organization, and professionalism throughout the entire wedding planning and designing process was astounding. Ariana was there to make us feel confident in each decision we were making for our wedding day whether the decision big or small. Ariana was our contact person for all of our vendors to alleviate the stress and burden of many, many emails which made the wedding planning process for us that much more enjoyable. Her immaculately-detailed timelines, design plans, itineraries, and expertise were truly unmatched and made our wedding day better than we could have ever imagined. The AMC Weddings Team (thank you also to Pascale, Lauren, and Macey!) blended in during our wedding day so seamlessly. There was even an issue with the person that was supposed to bring our dog Luna to our first look location. We, as the bride and groom, didn’t even realize it was an issue until the following day that Luna was not going to be able to be brought back to our home nearby by the dog company we hired. AMC Weddings didn’t even think twice and drove over 40 minutes one-way to ensure she was brought back safely, without even a hiccup in the day. Our friends and family could not stop telling us how wonderful, professional, and helpful Ariana and her team were throughout the entire day. We could not have made it through this process without her. If you are on the fence about hiring Ariana and AMC Weddings, it will be the best investment you make for a stress-free wedding day! We cannot thank Ariana and her team enough!

We are a licensed & insured wedding planning company, based in Newport, RI and serve all of New England. Our greatest joy is being able to bring our client's dream vision to life right before their eyes!

We hired Dana for her day-of coordinator services. Not only was she incredibly helpful pre-wedding, but when I walked into the venue day-of and saw how beautifully everything came together, I knew I could relax and that Dana had everything handled. We didn't have a single worry for the rest of the night. She managed our chaotic families gracefully and if there was a problem we were none the wiser! Because of Dana, we could truly be present and experience our day without getting lost in worrying about the details. We couldn't have asked for a better day and it would NOT have happened without Dana! You won't be disappointed to hire her!

I DO NOT HAVE CREDITS WITH ZOLA for a MEMBERSHIP. I CANNOT RESPOND BACK TO YOUR INQURIES. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED. PLEASE FIND ME ON INSTAGRAM ( emilycrencaphotography ) OR MY WEBSITE AND INQUIRE THERE! THANK YOU ------------------------------------------------ I have this magic touch. I can't really explain it, except for however and whenever I do things they become Golden. I bring you out of your comfort zones, I am directive, and I am really passionate about creating your own story. I am your hype girl, your best friend you never knew you needed and I aim to be your forever photographer for all your milestones and not just your wedding day.

I first met Emily when we hired her to be our wedding photographer! I saw her work on Instagram and loved her style. I was nervous to get our engagement pictures done, I thought it was going to be uncomfortable and awkward. As soon as you meet Emily you will understand why she is so successful. She made me feel like we had been friends forever, giving a boast of confidence! She communicated with us multiple times before the wedding to make sure she understood the timeline and what we were looking for. The day of the wedding I specifically loved how she took charge. Acting almost as a wedding planner instead of just our photographer! It relieved a lot of my stress and allowed me to enjoy the day knowing she had things under control. She left a lasting impression with the wedding party and guests because of how personable she is and how she will do anything to get that perfect angle! The photos came out beautiful, like something out of a magazine. A few years later I hired her to take pregnancy boudoir photos, again knowing that she would make a normally awkward situation fun and exciting! If you need professional photos please consider Emily, you will understand what I mean after just one conversation with her. I highly recommend Emily Crenca Photography!

I can not say enough good things about Jennifer. From beginning to end she was extremely responsive and helpful.

When I saw her portfolio on instagram I knew she was the one for me. she nailed it at the trial and she even sends documents to help you stay organized and pick the look you want. She created a timeline for me the day of the wedding and everyone was finished on time and they all loved how they looked. My bridesmaids range from natural to dramatic and she killed it. I have never felt so beautiful and I have been telling everyone about her. ten out of ten recommend.
