Fountainhead Floral Design 

5.0

  • Florist
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Derby, CT
  • Offer

The granddaughter of two gardeners, I have always felt a connection to the earth through the soil. When someone brings flowers into a room, something changes...an energy, an excitement! I love being able to bring that kind of beauty into peoples lives. I'm a small-town girl who enjoys anything that involves working with my hands from cooking to knitting. I'm a total animal lover (partial to dogs), a die-hard Grey's Anatomy fan, and I take my martinis extra dirty. When I'm not flowering in our studio in Milford, Connecticut, I'm mommin' to three amazing little boys (our dog Pippa and cat, Galaxy).

Our wedding was held at Saltwater Farm Vineyard in June 2024. Kate was such a pleasure to work with and really brought our floral vision to life! I appreciated her free excel planning tools and how responsive she was from our first inquiry. After our first phone call, I realized that she is incredibly easy-going and down to earth, in addition to being well-organized. These are qualities you want in your wedding vendors. I have always loved florals and she helped me craft a vision that stayed within our budget. Our theme was coastal vineyard - I wanted the vibe to be loose & romantic without veering too rustic. She found this balance perfectly! On our wedding day, she arrived early and took care of everything quietly without a hitch! I didn't have to worry about a thing. I can't recommend Fountainhead Floral enough!

Modern Strings was a joy to work with for our wedding. Their communication was consistently professional, kind, and fast throughout the planning process, which we greatly appreciated during the stresses of wedding planning. On our big day, the weather did not cooperate and we had to quickly change plans, but Modern Strings immediately adapted and set up to perform. Despite the last minute changes, they were passionate, professional musicians who delivered a performance well worth the cost. The entire ensemble brought immense talent and kindness that uplifted our whole event. We cannot recommend Modern Strings highly enough - they brought passion and professionalism that absolutely made our wedding day special, even when things went wrong. Their flexibility and musicality were invaluable. We felt so lucky to work with this talented, kind group of musicians for our wedding.

Cate Barry Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,900
  • Serves Derby, CT

I am a Connecticut-based wedding and portrait photographer obsessed with candid moments, real emotion, and the connections between human beings. I strive to capture life as we actually live it: full of beauty and roughness, joy and struggle, extravagance and simplicity. When I photograph you, I’m not thinking about getting likes on social media. I’m thinking about what will make your heart grow three times its size. I’m thinking about what will make you ugly-cry, looking back. I’m thinking about you seeing how awesome and truly loved you are.

Awarded Best of Zola
The best thing you can do for your wedding is book Cate! I think she might be a witch, she's that good. She put everyone at ease (even those most reluctant to be photographed), and is just such a delightful human. And the pictures she captured were MAGIC! We couldn't be more in love with them. Since she focuses so much on joyful candids, it's priceless to see our friends and families reactions in the moments that we couldn't see in person. All of my bridesmaids from Florida want to fly her down to do their future weddings. My dad (who hates being photographed, and almost never smiles for them) said he wants her to do his funeral - that's a compliment, trust me, even though it's a very weird one. Cate, you are the absolute best!

Hey there! A little background information about me. My name is Aleksandra. I am 30 years old based in West Haven, CT. Makeup has always been a passion of mine, ever since I was little you could find me doing my mom, little sister, and grandma's hair and makeup. I always wanted a career in the industry but never thought it was attainable. Until I reached a point in my life where I decided to take a leap of faith pack my bags and drive down to Georgia where my older sister (a master MUA who owns her own agency) lives.

Aleks and her team are so professional and easy to work with. Aleks was helpful during and after the makeup trial we had. She was very supportive when my skin was having issues and was able to provide very helpful advice when I reached out to her about it. She asked me questions about my skin care and was able to recommend some things to try to sort out my skin issues before the big day. The day of the wedding, my vision was brought to life from my hair to my makeup! My skin was glowing! And she made sure my bridesmaids loved their looks too! 10/10 would recommend!

We are absolutely thrilled with the floral arrangements from Rebel Rose for our wedding! From the initial consultation to the final setup, the entire experience was exceptional. Tracy has an incredible eye for design and truly understood our coastal meets Bridgerton vision. She created stunning bouquets, centerpieces, and alter arrangements that perfectly complemented our wedding theme and added a touch of elegance to every detail. The flowers were not only beautiful but also fresh and vibrant, making a lasting impression on our guests. What really stood out was her attentiveness and dedication to bringing our ideas to life. I had collected more vases than I had originally planned on and Tracy ran with it. She made vignettes of large vases and bud vases, taking a fresh spin on things by using one flower type per vase. Her suggestions turned out even better than I imagined. Tracy’s professionalism and passion for her craft was evident throughout the process. The florals were one of the highlights of our wedding day, and we are so grateful to Tracy for her exceptional work. Thank you for making our special day even more beautiful with your incredible floral designs!

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Cork & Craft for our wedding and I'm really happy I choose them! Initially when I started to look for a vendor I was disappointed by the beer selection (the typical offerings were miller, coors, and bud) but I really prefer craft beer. Cork & Craft was able to procure Thimble Island beer for my wedding and I was thrilled! They also had great suggestions for wine and a passionfruit margarita mix that my guests really loved. I liked that the truck was all electric so you couldn't hear a motor running during the ceremony and throughout the night. It rained during my wedding and I was happy to see that while I was getting ready (dress, hair, makeup, etc.) they worked with my venue to be covered by two pop-ups. I'm so glad that everything was taken care of - it really relieved a lot of stress. Tara is extremely friendly, professional, and a great communicator. If I was planning my wedding again I would definitely hire her!

Woodwinds

Branford, CT

  • Up to 600 guests

  • Starts at $115

WoodWinds is one of the most sought after Connecticut wedding venues for wedding receptions, banquets, corporate events or any special occasion, in the Tri-State area. A wedding in our impressive European Country Manor will reflect your personal vision. Imagine a magical experience, enhanced by a unique ceremony and reception on the beautiful grounds of WoodWinds. Envision standing on a grand staircase under the twinkle of Austrian Crystal chandeliers, taking pictures in a magnificent garden and dancing the night away on a marble dance floor.

The venue had a few hiccups, but overall we had a lovely reception there. The outdoor space was the highlight - truly gorgeous for photos. Communication on coordination was a bit spotty at times, but the maître d', Sergio, was a god send and stepped in to ensure things flowed smoothly. The food was phenomenal, as well! So many of our guests shared it was the best wedding food they’d ever had. We did have both our bridal attendants provided by the venue disappear on us shortly after we arrived, which was inconvenient since we would have paid for our own attendants if we knew that would be the case. While parts of the indoor space is dated, it worked out beautifully with some creative decor. When weighing everything in, the Woodwinds was a spectacular venue!

The Lake House was phenomenal to work with. Getting married during a pandemic is stressful enough, but Paul and his team really made it as stress free as possible! The facility is lovely; large, classy, clean, and inviting. The staff was also friendly and courteous, and the food was absolutely fantastic! Carole the banquet manager took care of everything the day of my wedding so I did not have to worry about a thing! If I had any questions or a problem, Paul was quick to reply and even called me when necessary to make sure that our wedding went exactly the way we wanted it to. The flexibility of The Lake House was also great, I was able to make day-of decisions regarding an outdoor wedding and placement of decorations.

When I first started wedding photography, I didn’t realize how quickly I would fall in love! Through my clients I have had the pleasure of watching many love stories come to fruition, capturing their most special day. Wedding photography is not just a job, it’s a true passion that I do because I love it. The long wedding days, the planning - I cherish every moment of it!

Ephe was the best photographer ever. I was one of the last people in my friend group to get married and I’ve seen some photography disasters happen the day of. Ephe had none of that and all of my friends loved her and her work ethic. She is very punctual and organized. She understood the vibe that I was going for and she had my sneak peeks and all of my wedding pictures edited super quick! I wish I lived closer to Ephe so I could hire her for all of my photography needs.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am SO glad I found Dana. I had come across her info in a FB wedding group that I'm in. After looking through her website and Insta (love her hair tutorial vids, she makes it look effortless), I knew I needed to book a trial. After sitting down in her chair, and watching her work on my hair for just 10 minutes I knew I was going to hire her. You can tell she takes pride in her work and making people look and feel good. My originally planned wedding was postponed to next year due to COVID, but we still got married on our original date in a small elopement ceremony. Dana was very understanding and easy to communicate with as we were navigating our way through all the changes/plans. She made me look and feel like a bride on my special day! Her updos are amazing and they stay put all day and night. I slept in mine and could have worn it the next day. In fact, the next day I just took the bobby pins out of the bottom bun and threw my hair up higher on my head and I had an upcycled updo for our backyard celebration! Her makeup skills are also top notch. I told her what I was going for and she nailed it. She made me look like me, just better! She can do it all...airbrush, traditional, more natural-looking, and lashes too! On a side note, she's just a lovely person. We had a nice time chatting and hanging out the 2 times I've been in her chair so far. I can't wait until she works on me and all my girls next year for our wedding re-do/reception. If you get a chance to work with Dana, do it!

  • Up to 250 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $9,000

A magnificent, breathtaking landmark, Bill Miller’s Castle has served as an elegant venue for weddings, corporate events, and special occasions. Meticulous attention to detail, natural stonework, exposed reclaimed beams, an antique bronze bell weighing more than one ton, and rare antique furniture create a beautiful backdrop for any event or special occasion. Featuring five working field-stone fireplaces, three-story cathedral ceilings, ornate stained glass windows, crystal chandeliers, and a large dance floor; the grandeur of Bill Miller’s Castle will make your guests feel truly extraordinary from the moment they walk through the door.

If you have the means to, choose Bill Miller's as your venue! My now husband and I were treated like royalty from the first tour to our wedding day. We were never without a beverage and were well fed (almost too full!). Mary was our coordinator, and was never hard to reach. We chose this venue for a few reasons: we would have the venue for the whole day to ourselves, all-inclusive with fantastic food and great drinks, a solid indoor/rain option for the ceremony, and a coordinator was included. Bill Miller's really made our day seamless and everything was incredible. Thank you Mary and everyone at Bill Miller's for a wonderful stress-free day!

Lauren Flanagan Design

  • Florist
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Derby, CT

Forever a lover of nature, I draw inspiration from the natural world and am most at peace and at home among the plants and trees. I love spending time outdoors, hiking with my dog, and working in my garden growing food and flowers. I have a life long passion for art and design and have worked as an artist for much of my life. In 2013 I found myself fusing my love for art and flowers when I began working in floral design. I quickly fell in love with the ritual of creating with fresh florals. In the years since, I've had the opportunity to hone my skills and style and provide unique and gorgeous designs for some wonderful couples.

Lauren designed and provided the flowers for my wedding in September of 2018 and after that experience I would say she is incredibly talented and was amazing to work with! In one consultation she understood the vibe and theme I was going for and over delivered!! Also price wise it was an awesome deal for the quality of work you receive! I definitely recommend her for any of your floral needs!!

Carleen and Taylor were the best wedding hair and make up team I could have asked for! Highly recommend them for your bridal beauty needs! From the first time I contacted Carleen about my wedding, she’s been amazing to work with. My first hair and make up trial with another vendor was a disaster, I was only in Connecticut for a few days to do a trial (I’m not from the area, but got married in CT), and emailed Carleen the night before Thanksgiving to see if she could squeeze me in before I returned home. She responded to me on Thanksgiving Day and scheduled me for a trial the very next day. I loved her work and booked her on the spot. Fast forward to the wedding day, my group of ladies had a lot of specific needs and requests, and Carleen and Taylor were more than accommodating. Our getting ready time went so smoothly, everyone was thrilled with how their hair and make up turned out, and as a bride I could not have felt more beautiful on the big day. My hair and make up was still beautiful when I woke up the next day! Thanks for everything, Carleen and Taylor!

We wish we could give SKBT 1000 stars! This company, the owner Karen, and her staff are ABSOULTELY incredible! For our small outdoor wedding, I am still very concerned about COVID and her staff was so considerate to keep their masks on the entire time (both inside and outside in the heat). The staff was so incredibly kind and attentive. They made me feel SO special on my day, bringing me extra appetizers and sneaking me an extra spoonful of their delicious chocolate mousse! They were so incredibly professional and offered to help with tasks that were not even in their job description (like loading up drink coolers and putting out desserts we had purchased). They truly went above and beyond! It is clear Karen is close with her staff, because they all have such a positive demeanor that was contagious and really kept things upbeat! And the food- INCREDIBLE! I am so picky when it comes to food and my husband has food allergies. We needed everything to be gluten free, and SKBT was so attentive and considerate of these restrictions. The flavor and presentation of the food was AMAZING! My husband and I ended up eating our own meal and splitting one (I am obsessed with Karen's cauliflower steak!) I was SO full from the night because everything from the appetizers, to the meal, to the desserts was impeccable. Really the most delicious food I've ever had! The night of our wedding and most of the next day, 90% of the conversation with my husband and our family was about SKBT and how incredibly delicious their food was and their amazing service. We plan on ordering from SKBT for any function we have in the future, as well as on our anniversary every year (and dinners in between!) We are sad that our wedding is over, but are SO looking forward to using SKBT again in the future. Karen is truly a gem- she is INCREDIBLY talented, is so kind, and it is clear she dedicates her all to SKBT. We are so thankful to have had this catering company for our wedding- they truly made the day that much more special and the day would not have been the same without them! Thank you Karen and your amazing staff, you really made our wedding a day we will never forget! :)

Shawn and Carrie were amazing to work with on our special day! Carrie took the time to make sure we had identified all of the type of pictures we wanted taken to capture the day. Shawn is a very talented photographer and does an amazing impression of Elmo that made my 1 year old nephew laugh for pictures!
