  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,900

We're a husband + wife team. We love weddings. They’re a very special event. They’re about fun, laughter and two awesome people and everyone they love. We’ll be there for that and we won’t miss a beat.

I can't say enough about Rick and his team! As a wedding planner and coordinator, I know I can always count on Rick to help. He has worked with me to create a timeline that flows for the whole day but also made sure the clients got the photos that they wanted and still were able to enjoy their day with their family and friends. He has an AMAZING eye for detail, and he will let me know if he thinks something isn't going to look good because maybe a floral arrangement is in the way, the background isn't the best for photos, or something doesn't look right. He is a team player when it comes to making sure our clients get what they want and I love that I can count on him to be a part of the team.

They were easy going and attentive to our wishes and overall we couldn’t have asked for better! I would book with LE glam again in a heart beat.

DJ Grayson and Get Down Entertainment were easy to work with and very communicative! Grayson was very helpful in our initial conversations as well as the couple weeks leading up the wedding. He did a great job running our ceremony AV and reception! He kept the mood fun and it seemed like everyone really enjoyed the music - including us of course :) He also was able to be flexible with last minute changes (communicating with us about them) even though he did a good job with planning ahead as well. We were very happy that he played the songs we asked him to as well. We definitely recommend DJ Grayson from Get Down Entertainment!

Hello couples and congrats on your engagement! My name is Mike and I am the founder of Humblebee Wedding Films.

Mike filmed our wedding in December 2021 and was absolutely amazing! He worked seamlessly with our photographer, day-of coordinator, and DJ, which made everything run so smoothly. I got my video just days after the wedding, and it was beautifully put together. Even a year later, I’m still so happy with it—especially after I lost the link and Mike got it back to me right away! I’d recommend this company 100%!

We LOVED working with Sweetened Memories. From the cake tasting (on china plates, water provided, guided by the wedding coordinator) to the communication process in between to our cake arriving at the venue - this place rocks. We ordered a four tiered cake with classic lambeth frosting. We agreed upon two of the layers being funfetti cake with cookie dough filling (you have to try this) and dark chocolate cake with raspberry preserves as the filling. The entire cake was covered in Bailey's frosting. Wow. We got so many compliments!! Thank you, SM 3

We had our wedding at The Red Barn this past May and everything was beyond perfect! Our wedding coordinator, Alex was so on top of everything during the planning stages and throughout the wedding itself. She is so incredible and we feel so lucky to have worked with her! The entire staff at The Red Barn was so amazing as well. The space is stunning and the food and drinks were incredible. We truly cannot say enough good things about The Red Barn! We had our reception and ceremony indoors and the fireplace backdrop was absolutely perfect. The space itself is beautiful and we really didn’t feel that we needed to do a ton of decorating which lessened stress and saved us on decor costs. However, all we really had to do was drop off what decorations we did have and Alex and her team took care of set up and breakdown with our vendors. We really didn’t have a single worry the weekend of the wedding. The amazing staff at The Red Barn took care of it all. We also stayed at Stage House Inn the weekend of the wedding and got ready there. Darien was a pleasure to work with and made coordinating room blocks so easy! The bridal suite comfortably fit all the girls getting ready (12 total people) plus 4 hair and makeup girls. It was also the perfect room for getting ready photos! We held our rehearsal lunch at The Links restaurant and the staff was so accommodating! We had a last minute reservation for around 25 and they took us no problem. Excellent and affordable food and drinks! Overall we had a perfect experience with every aspect of The Red Barn. We absolutely would recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect spot for their wedding!

I am SO excited that you stumbled upon my work! I shoot weddings all across New England! Capturing raw, true emotions as they happen is what I’m all about. I want to capture it all on your big day. From the moments of you putting your dress to the tears running down your face as you read your vows to each other. To the first kiss and “OMG you’re my spouse now!!” feels. To the unexpected Taco Bell run you make after the ceremony or your grandparents getting down on the dance floor. Being able to grab the moments for you to hold to forever, is such a rewarding humbling job for me.

Awarded Best of Zola
Gloria is AMAZING!!!!! She was one of the first vendors we booked for our 2024 wedding, and from the first phone call, it was clear that we made the right decision. She understood our vision immediately as we described what we were hoping for from our wedding photos. The day of the wedding, she was a fly on the wall for so many candids, knew when to give direction, and when to hang back. Her work speaks for itself, but the fact that she is also kind, creative, and so easy to work with was really the icing on the cake. We will treasure these photos for the rest of our lives. If you’re looking for a sign to book Gloria Bloise Photography for your big day, consider this it.

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.

Weddings by Kaileigh, LLC

  • Planner

  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Candia, NH

Hello! I’m Kaileigh, owner of Weddings by Kaileigh, LLC. I established my business in April 2023, and I have been working diligently to learn as much as I can! I’ve been a teacher for the last 10 years, so planning and coordinating comes naturally to me. I also run the hospitality committee at my school! I have spent time as a travel agent, organizing and planning vacations. I’m also a mom of two amazing, little humans! I love to garden, be outside and go adventuring with my kids. Last year I decided to take a leap of faith and start my next adventure in the wedding planning industry, and got my wedding planning certificate.

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.

Alba Lumos Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,400
  • Serves Candia, NH

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
We had our vow renewal photos and our vow renewal save the date photos captured by Alba Lumos Photography. From the moment we first spoke with April and Jordan, who are the owners of Alba Lumos Photography, we were impressed by their open, honest, and professional communication style. They made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. They were so lighthearted and allowed us to have fun and be our true selves. From our first phone call with them, we knew they were the ones we wanted to photograph our big day, as their style and personalities meshed so well with us. Their work was efficient on our day, photos were received back so quickly, and were breathtakingly beautiful. April and Jordan did the best job at capturing all the most sentimental moments of our special day. April and Jordan were the absolute best to work with - they made us feel like the only people in the world and got incredible photos that we will cherish forever. If you're not booking Alba Lumos for your wedding, what are you even doing?!

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!

Getting married at the Granite Rose was the best decision we made. The planning team there is absolutely amazing - Anna helped us through most planning sessions, and Jill was our day of coordinator - both amazing at their jobs. Between the Granite Rose staff, and the partnerships with many of our vendors, our wedding went off without a hitch, and we were actually able to enjoy the process. We had an absolute blast on our wedding day, and it was absolutley due to this venue and their staff. I do not think we would have enjoyed our day this much if it had been at a different venue. From the decor, to the food, to the bar, to the dancefloor, everything was amazing. Could not have asked for a better crew - Our banquet coordinator, Joshua, had the most amazing energy, and made sure that my husband and I always had what we needed and that any concerns were addressed immediately. Our bartender, Mariah, was great at her job, and remembered everyone's drink order the entire night. The food was phenomenal - so delicious and our Chefs Jim and Joe were able to accomodate every allergy/request with no fuss. Our entire crew was so professional and we are so impressed by the service they provided (shout out Tirk, Kiara, Jen, and Hunter). We would highly recommend using Wedgewood Weddings for your wedding/event, and in particular looking into the Granite Rose, and their awesome team! We loved it!

I’m Felisha, an Award Winning - Published New England Wedding + Portrait photographer with the honor of capturing love stories and cherished moments across New England since 2013. Photography isn’t just my career—it’s the way I connect with people, turning clients into dear friends and fleeting moments into timeless memories. When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me soaking up life with my high school sweetheart, our beautiful daughter, and our two chocolate Labradors. My heart beats for real, authentic moments—the kind where love and laughter come effortlessly.

Awarded Best of Zola
Felisha is one of the most kind, thoughtful, and insightful photographers who you could possibly hope to work with on your big day. In our first phone call with Felisha, it was clear that she was looking for a connection with her potential clients; she wasn’t trying to sell us her portfolio, and she wasn’t trying to gauge our budget. If you’re looking for a storyteller and someone who wants to build a meaningful connection with their clients, look no further! We wanted a partner in our photographer, someone who could look beyond the standard wedding portraits and find those special, candid moments that we would be missing among all the distractions of the day – and Felisha delivered. From start to finish, we felt like Felisha had our backs and was looking out for our best interests. She listened to us and gave us whatever it was needed on our big day at that moment – whether it was relief from the stresses of the wedding day timeline or a break from the business of our reception. When it came time to review the gallery, we were blown away by the details she captured. It was incredibly special not only to see the beauty captured in the moments, but the feeling we got in our hearts as we relived our wedding weekend. It’s a feeling we hope to hold on to for as long as we can, and Felisha truly helped to make our vision a reality!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Naomi and her team at Nectar & Vessel was truly an incredible experience. Aside from the marriage itself and celebrating with our loved ones, the floral design was the part of wedding-planning I was most excited about, so finding the right team to make it all happen was really important to me. From our first meeting, it was obvious how warm, talented, creative, professional, and enthusiastic Naomi is - she is so passionate and knowledgeable about what she does, and it really shows in her work. Naomi and her team went above and beyond to distill all of my ideas and wishes into a final cohesive vision that was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! Everything Naomi and her team created was stunningly executed - from the bouquets, boutonnieres, and the gorgeous chuppah at our ceremony, to the lush arrangements, centerpieces, and hanging greenery at the cocktail hour and reception, to the magical floral clouds that hung over our dance floor. Many guests told me that these were the most beautiful floral designs that they had seen at any wedding they’ve ever been to - I’m still receiving compliments about them months later. We especially appreciated Naomi’s attention to detail (she and her team made little bouquets for guests to take home at the end of the evening that everyone loved), and how conscientious she is about sustainability (she uses reusable vessels for everything and doesn’t use disposable foam products - something that can be hard to come by in the floral industry). Writing this review was challenging because it’s so difficult to find the words to properly convey how beautiful everything was and how grateful we are for Naomi and her team’s work! We wholeheartedly recommend Naomi and her team at Nectar & Vessel to anyone looking for floral design for their wedding or event, and we are so thankful to have had them by our sides on our special day.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
My spouse and I were lucky enough to have Jo take photos of us for our September 20th elopement in Portland Maine. Prior to the big day, we spoke with Jo on the phone and knew she would be a great match for us. She was thoughtful, quick to respond, and answered all of our questions. She even touched base with us in the days leading up to our elopement. On the day itself, she came to our home for some pre-ceremony photos. Although she had had a stressful morning due to some car trouble, we never would have known. Our two dogs (one of whom is not always people friendly) quickly warmed to Jo and she got some great shots of them as well. We made our way over to city hall, where we got more photos, and she even signed as our witness. She gave us great direction on poses, which was definitely appreciated. After, we all shared in a meal together before my partner and I exchanged private boys, which Jo also caught some amazing photos of. We received our sneak peek very quickly, and our full gallery two months later (on our two month wedding anniversary, which was such a lovely surprise). We truly couldn't have imagined our day without Jo. The photos were incredible and truly captured exactly what we'd had in mind. We continue to feel very fortunate that she was available to work with us. We had a lot of fun with her and it felt like we got to spend the day with a close friend rather then someone we had just met earlier in the day. If you are looking for a Maine based photographer, you cannot go wrong with Jo!

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.

We are BEYOND thrilled that we chose Julie to capture our wedding. My wife and I had a destination wedding in Kennebunkport, Maine so choosing vendors was really just based on doing our own research and combing through reviews. From start to finish, everything with Julie was incredible. She really understood what we wanted and that aligned perfectly with her vibrant and candid style. She was so efficient on the day of the wedding as well so we were able to enjoy what we put together. She truly has an amazing eye, book her!

Luke was amazing to work with from start to finish. I first met him at one of my best friend’s weddings and knew right away I had to hire him for my own. He was so easy to work with, very responsive with communication, and brought such great energy and positivity to our wedding day. Our videos came out better than I could have imagined and I’m just so happy and thankful that we will have them forever! Even my husband who didn’t think we needed a videographer said “wow thank god we have these, they’re amazing!”. Hire Natural Focus Films and you will not be disappointed!

I wish I could give 10 stars! I got married two weeks ago after getting engaged at Christmas. Lauren spent 6 months helping me curate the beautiful wedding of my dreams! Her attention to detail and kindness helped me way beyond expectation given the short timeframe. In every facet, Lauren took my creative vision and figured out how we could logistically make it all happen. She is thorough and organized - creating seamless timelines and checklists to ensure everything was done and went smoothly on my big day. Lauren has a truly creative eye and she gives GOOD & honest feedback. This helped me quickly and confidently make decisions. Lauren effectively handled communication with each of my vendors, and even went wedding dress shopping with me! She is kind, smart, laid back, and truly fun to be around. Her calm nature soothed my wedding day nerves and she easily delegated all of the day of tasks for my backyard wedding. This meant I was able to be inside, ENJOYING the morning of my wedding day, stress free. I can’t recommend Lauren Wilson Events enough, both for wedding planning AND day of coordination (which I can’t recommend more) Meet with her, you’ll quickly realize why you NEED her. She does not disappoint!!!

Double Platinum Celebrations DJs is Maine's Most Requested and Reviewed Wedding DJ with over 1,500 5 star reviews, over 4,000 events and we have been packing dance floors for over 20 years. We can't wait to celebrate with you on your Special Day!

DJ Dan was absolutely amazing! My husband and I currently live in the United Kingdom and flew back to the states for our wedding. He was super accommodating when working with us. I was extremely specific with what music I wanted played throughout the night and had playlists already made. DJ Dan was on board with playing the playlists and then keeping the same vibe if the music ran out. DJ Dan was on top of everything which made the day seamless from the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception. He had great energy which kept the guests up dancing throughout the night. He even allowed my ring bearer (ages 4 and 6) who were intrigued by the whole DJ booth to get up and check it out!! One of the biggest decisions when planning a wedding is getting the DJ. Not just any DJ, but a good DJ that matches your energy, sets the tone you're looking for, and making sure the guests have a good time at your wedding. We truly couldn't have picked another DJ - he matched our vibe, was beyond great with our guests, and was all around excellent. Would recommend him to anyone asking for a DJ!!

I can't say enough good things about Heather! From the very beginning, she was incredibly organized and detail oriented. She sent us a guide ahead of the wedding day so we knew exactly what to expect and everyone was fully prepared. On the wedding day, she was a calming presence, contributing so positively to our getting-ready process. She made the whole experience so enjoyable and stress-free, and we had such a great time with her! Not only is she incredibly talented, but she also truly listened to each of us about what we wanted for our hair. She made everyone look absolutely beautiful. It was clear that she cared about making us feel amazing, and she did just that! She gave us a little touch-up kit for later in the day which was so helpful. If you're looking for a reliable, kind, and talented stylist who is not only great at what she does but also a joy to be around, I highly recommend Heather. I am so grateful for everything she did!

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.

We are so happy with all of Brett’s hard work photographing and creating beautiful memories from our special day. Although neither of us is crazy about having our photo taken, Brett’s laid back attitude helped us feel comfortable and excited to be taking photos at our wedding!
