Shannon and Three Roots were amazing to work with! You can see from the photos (By Jessie Barentsen) below how absolutely stunning our florals were on our day. Throughout the whole planning process Shannon was so easy to communicate with and always had very prompt, timely responses. She was able to take my thoughts and visions bring them together and to life. She was very detail oriented down to having me select ribbons and vessels for our bouquets and florals. She sourced the most beautiful candles and bud vases for us as well. We had some last minute cancellations and cut down 2 tables and she worked with us to reallocate what we had paid for those tables to florals elsewhere in the space to not lose out. On our day there was so much love and hugging the groomsmen boutonnieres were falling off before the ceremony and she made new ones for all of them and placed them on. I cannot recommend Shannon enough!

They also have the Swan Room that can fit over 150 people or something like that. The whole second floor was dedicated to our event. Here are some of the features it had that just makes sense functionally: we had a bridal suite that fit our whole bridal party and parents, an elevator since it was on the second floor, a grand staircase, our own bathrooms and bar separate from the downstairs area, a built-in dance floor, and a welcome landing. We had to bring minimal decorations, like centerpieces and such. They provide table settings, everything in the bar, name cards, and table numbers. We suggest finding a vendor for uplighting. Our DJ provided it for us and made the room look amazing. The food is fancy and delicious. In the days that followed our reception, we received compliments about the entrees and passed hors d’oeuvres. They are plated like an inspired high-end restaurant. We had an open bar and everyone was very pleased with the service. TLDR: these people know what they’re doing. The space is BUILT for weddings, not retrofitted, and it shows. The service is WHITE GLOVE and the food will impress your guests. Book this venue!

  • Serves Darien, CT

Here at Tree Films, we make your story a priority. We strive to get to know our couples and how they came to be, down to the silly coincidences and weird first dates. We like to think that our mission goes beyond just documenting your wedding day -- the goal is to create an unforgettable experience! We are invested in making each video as genuine as possible, as if your story was being told by a best friend who witnessed all the important stuff. Tell us who you are as a couple and let us put together a video that tells the story from day one to I do!

Treefilms is a stellar photography and videography company! After our venue, they were the second vendor we booked as photography and videography was very important to us. Ashley was responsive and kind from the beginning! She was open to our ideas in regard to location and then made it look even better in the photo video! We felt so comfortable during that shoot and at our wedding in front of the camera with them. They gave us enough direction that it was easy to know what to do, but did not result in stiff or overly posed pictures. The candid shots that they captured throughout the wedding day are photos we will cherish; they were able to capture all the emotions so perfectly. The team worked seamlessly with all the other vendors, they truly know what they’re doing! (Shoutout to Ashley for doing up the buttons on my dress!) Our wedding video is a work of art, I don’t think it’s comparable to the standard videos produced by other vendors. Treefilms is the vendor we recommend most to friends and family, and we look forward to working with them again in the future!

Planning a wedding? I know just what kind of music you need to make it a success. I’ve been lucky enough to serve some of the most amazing clients in lower Fairfield County on events both large and small. This experience and my passion for music has helped me evolve into one of the most skilled DJ's in the area.

DJ Marv was SO much fun at our wedding! Marvin's experience as a DJ definitely showed as he handled the ceremony music without any audio hiccups, making sure he was saying the bridal party's names correctly during the reception, and navigating toasts and announcements in a fun and very professional manner. He expertly controlled the crowd with some of the best mixes I've ever heard at a wedding! My husband and I did not want to leave the dance floor! We had so many guests after the wedding tell us how much fun they had dancing to the music and that it was one of, if not the most, fun weddings they had ever been to. We were so pleased and blessed to have Marvin DJ our wedding and we will absolutely be recommending his services! 1000/10!

Wild Lily Event Planning is a full service wedding and special event planning company servicing Connecticut, New York and beyond. I take your unique dream and turn it into the most memorable day with every detail planned to perfection.

I can’t count the number of times during and after our wedding I said, “hiring Christina is the best money we spent on the wedding!” I am not a planner by nature and I was dreading wedding planning. The second we hired Christina, I felt like a huge weight had been lifted. She took care of all the tiny details, gave me ideas I never would have thought of, and brought our vision to life. She was so supportive throughout the whole process, answering texts and emails about absolutely everything. On the actual wedding day, I often thought that I didn’t know what we would have done without her. While our venue had a coordinator, they were not nearly as responsive and organized as Christina was. Christina will not only plan your wedding but she will be your friend throughout the whole wedding planning process. I can’t recommend her enough.

I'm a licensed esthetician and makeup artist. My background is in TV and working for several beauty companies across the country. We do a lot of maternity/family session hair & makeup during the week and weddings on weekends. However, I'm always down for a weekday wedding having eloped myself. Our beauty team specializes in natural makeup applications and romantic hair styling. We travel to you for your special day or event.

Working with Kim and the team at Eye for Beauty was a dream! As many others have said, I don't wear make-up or style my hair normally, so I was nervous about having to "wear a face" on my wedding day. But my nerves quickly subsided after my hair and make-up trial. DEFINITELY DO THE TRIAL! My concerns were heard and, even though I was unsure about wearing lashes, I barely could tell they were on after a few minutes. Day-of, they were very familiar with the venue (Bill Miller's Castle), and so everything went smoothly (and ahead of schedule!). They were even kind enough to have a stylist/artist go to a family member's hotel room too! Highly recommend choosing Eye for Beauty as your hair/make-up team, especially if you are not typically one to wear make-up!

I focus on capturing genuine expressions and interactions. My work balances color and black-and-white images, enveloped in a soft, warm aesthetic that highlights intimacy and real connection. I look forward to capturing your moments and celebrating your stories through my lens.

I am the mother of the groom and am proud of the exceptional photography and exquisite pictures that Lauren Helsing captured of Greg and Melissa's wedding in the gorgeous setting in the Colorado Rockies! Lauren was professional, creative and managed to get wonderful smiles from my son, who throughout his life did not like to smile for the camera! She walked through prairie grass to get to the cliff where the ceremony took place, perched at precarious angles to capture a special vantage and delivered the most gorgeous photos I have ever seen of a wedding ...and in record time! She did have not only the surrounding snow-capped mountains but a stunning bride and handsome groom as subject matter. She caught them standing and sitting on their jeep, decked in white for her and black for him cowboy boots and hats, doing a dip to the crowds delight before a waterfall and so many treasured moments preserved in our memories and photos. Most important, she captured the love and joy that shone on their faces for each other. Lauren worked tirelessly, enthusiastically throughout the ceremony and the party that followed. A standing ovation for the work she gave us of their special wedding.

Avec Lamour! I cannot say enough about the services that are executed. Avec Lamour captured our wedding day recently this past October, 2023. The videos were so beautiful it was all my wife and I could ever hope for. We had the pleasure of working closely with John Hill (owner of Avec Lamour) a talented cinematographer. When searching for a videographer I personally knew that I did want my wedding day to be captured and documented much differently than the usual wedding videos seen today. Although beautiful, my wife and I agreed to have more of a cinematic approach. We shortly came across John Hill, a wonderful cinematographer with the skills to capture the happiest day of our lives and turn it into cinematic art. A love story that captures all viewers attention and one my wife and I will cherish forever. Our overall experience working with John was exceptional! Heidi is a very cool down to earth guy that really gets your vision. John is timely in responses and the delivery of the finalized product took only just a short few weeks we were so thrilled! We highly recommend Avec Lamour to capture your special day especially if you are wanting a cinematic experience!!

We know that every bride and groom is different, and therefore, every wedding is different. Rest assured all the romance and beauty, as well as fun and excitement of your day is captured in an unobtrusive manner.

Highest recommendation! I can’t say enough positive things about my experience with Carlos and custom made video. From the first phone call, all the way to him checking in to see if I received and enjoyed the video. Carlos was a pro who worked to find the perfect package for us and made us feel our wedding day was as important to him as it is to us. On the wedding day itself you couldn’t even tell there was a camera there recording. We always knew exactly how long it was until we received our finished product. Then the finished product was everything we could have hoped for and more. The quality of the video was insane, beautiful edits and breathtaking wedding recap. All the little details, including cocktail hour, the decorations and the memorial table were shot. They captured all the emotion, love and fun of our special day. Watching it made me feel like I was living my wedding day all over again. INVEST IN A VIDEOGRAPHER FOR YOUR WEDDING DAY! Invest in Carlos and custom made video. I can’t thank you guys enough.

What obsesses me with photography the most is that I get to capture a moment in time that we all can recall back to. This can be a simple photo with a friend or an intimate moment with a loved one. All these moments hold a special place in all of us. This is what your wedding day is supposed to be about. A day filled with the memories of all your loved ones as you celebrate the start of a new journey together. A day filled with laughter, cheers, and tears and I want to be there to capture it all! If are planning a wedding, elopement, or engagement, please feel free to browse my work and if it resonates with you don't hesitate to reach out!

I cannot recommend the Amber Room enough. Everyone there is truly amazing and the food was delicious! From the planning process all the way through to the day of the wedding, we were supported and felt like a priority. Katie was amazing and so helpful through the planning process and significantly reduced our stress! All of our requests were accommodated and executed to perfection. Our banquet manager, Ashley, who ran the rehearsal and made sure the wedding day went smoothly, was also amazing. Ashley has a wonderful personality and made sure everything was perfect for us. All of the staff on the day of the wedding were friendly, helpful, and professional. I am truly sad that I won’t be communicating with the Amber room staff on a regular basis anymore as over the last 10 months of wedding planning, they have felt more like family. I know for a fact that without the staff, our day would not have nearly been as perfect as it was!

Hi, I’m Veronica! I’m based in Fairfield County and specialize in clean, modern, true to life imagery that captures the timeless moments in an effortless and real way. Weddings truly captivate me. I love the dynamics of the day. All the energy, love and emotion that fills them. I prefer minimalism and simplicity both in life and business.

Awarded Best of Zola
Veronica was a pleasure to work with—especially in the midst of our cancelled wedding due to covid and planning a private elopement. She was quick to respond and more than willing to help make this unplanned day very special. She was flexible about time and place, whatever worked for us! She was upfront about costs and what we could expect in return. She was extremely professional and focused—she made the most of every minute of our time together with no unnecessary small talk (which we appreciated). She scoped out the setting and quickly noticed all of the opportunities for great shots. we saw her visions come true and her photos were absolutely stunning, creative, and top notch quality. I love her pictures more than I love the pictures from my re-planned wedding a year later. You will not regret working with Veronica!

My husband and I got married at the Waterview on 9/2/23. From the moment we stepped foot into the Waterview on our tour, we knew we had to get married here and it was without a doubt the best choice we could make for our wedding. From pre planning to the day, the staff was kind, attentive, and organized. We felt very well taken care of and our day ran so smoothly thanks to our event coordinator, Zuleika. They take care of so many details for us and decreased wedding planning stress by 10 fold. Not to mention the place is stunning and the property is perfectly manicured and photo ready. We are so thankful!! Food was also a 10/10.

Beth Zink Photography

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,800
  • Serves Darien, CT

I am a photographer and storyteller. For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by stories and traditions. I am passionate about documenting real human connections and I love learning all the meanings behind details at weddings and celebrations. When I’m not photographing, I can be found spending time with family and friends, exploring new places, and craving tacos. I love meeting new people, making new friends, and connecting with my clients. I can’t wait to get to know you, so let’s talk!

We worked with Beth as our wedding photographer and I 100% would recommend her services! Since we had a very small wedding, we opted to do a post-wedding shoot rather than engagement shoot. This meant that we met Beth for the first time during our actual wedding day-- some would probably be nervous about this, but we got to know each other right away and were so comfortable working with her. She was so professional and really scoped out the sights all over our beautiful venue so that we were able to take so many different pictures in a variety of settings. For our post-wedding shoot, we did pictures at Chick Fila & the beach, and even though I was nervous about going inside the Chick Fila to take pictures, Beth was super professional and all business and had no qualms about taking pictures in busy places. We also got all of our pictures in only a few weeks and the quality is superb! Overall, we got a fantastic value for a very reasonable price and I am so glad we booked Beth as our wedding photographer!

Earthplace was perfect for our 145-person ceremony. It is stunning, unique and great for those on a budget, as the space needs no additional rentals or decorations. Truly cannot beat this venue, and the staff was responsive, helpful and accommodating every step of the way. They worked seamlessly with our vendors to allow for a bar truck and chuppah to be installed without disrupting the nature/wildlife.

Pizzazz Strings 

5.0

  • Ceremony only
  • Serves Darien, CT

Pizzazz Strings is an international ensemble of professional musicians with over twenty years experience providing music for private functions, corporate events and weddings from New York to London, Paris and Switzerland. Founded in 2012 by leading musicians in the New York and Connecticut area, our mission is to provide a high quality and flexible string ensemble for any occasion. ​

We can’t say enough about how amazing Andrea was to work with and how awesome our music was for the ceremony and cocktail hour. Andrea is quick to reply and follow up, thorough with her information, and flexible and willing to work with you on whatever you can dream up (Metallic to walk down the aisle-no problem!). The song list is so extensive that we had no problem finding what we wanted and actually had a hard time deciding because we had so many choices! The musicians were professional and delivered exactly what we wanted….and they sounded phenomenal! Our guests raved about the ceremony and cocktail hour music and had a blast trying to guess the songs (we had a lot of rock/pop music included) being played by the string quartet. Our only sadness is that we got pulled away during the cocktail hour for an emergency and didn’t get to hear more of their beautiful music or thank them personally. Amazing to work with and hope we can get to use them for another event in the future. Thank you Andrea!
