Miranda has always had a passion for styling, creating weddings and events. Her expertise of executing an individual's vision is one of a kind. Her dedication and compassion to her clients speaks volume.

Working with Miranda, Raquel, and Kylie was a true pleasure. Kylie assisted us at our rehearsal the day before our wedding, practicing the ceremony to ensure we understood the process and best practices for each bridal party member. Miranda and Raquel were there for us on our wedding date, helping set up decor, running to get breakfast for the bridal party, and being the point of contact with all our vendors. At one point, as the bride, I was getting overstimulated with all the pictures being taken in a short amount of time, and Miranda/Raquel had my back by making sure I had water and 30 minutes to center before our ceremony. I'd recommend Start Rose Creations to family and friends for any event.

Christopher Duggan Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,950
  • Serves Durham, CT

In the 20 years that I've been photographing professionally, I’ve honed my skill of knowing when to step in and make things happen, and when to step back and simply *allow* things to happen. Documenting the REAL emotion of the day is how we capture those picture-perfect moments. They happen organically, not by force, and I promise you: we're not going to miss ANY of them. = )

The quality of Christopher's photography is simply exquisite - the images he captured from our wedding day are extraordinary and magical, truly capturing the essence of our special day. Christopher and his team paid such close attention to detail, and made the day so loving and fun. They were a joy to have as part of our wedding day. I cannot recommend Christopher Duggan Photography highly enough for any special event - their exceptional communication, top-notch skills, and warm personalities lead to photographic memories you will cherish forever.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 

4.9

  • Florist
  • Serves Durham, CT

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

I ordered the "peaches and cream" small package. We decided to skip on ceremony florals, and only have handhelds and bud vases at the reception. We did buy a few more flowers from the grocery to add more peach once the flowers arrived. We made and medium sized bridal bouquet, 4 bridesmaids bouquets, 3 corsages, and 7 bouts. (With lots of flowers left over). My bridesmaids and I did the arranging the morning before the wedding; it was fun, and a great start to the weekend. None of us had experience, but it all turned out great! If you or your bridal party are mildly crafty, I'd highly recommend it!

Angel made our wedding dreams come alive! I purchased most of the decor myself and put it in boxes which she picked up from our home and she set up everything better than I could have imagined. She also took 10GB worth of photos/videos of our weddings so we have the whole thing documented. As the bride, she really took control on the wedding day and I never felt any stress. She is also just a really sweet and creative person!

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.

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

The team at Once Like a Spark shot my husband and I's November 2023 wedding at the Beauport Hotel Gloucester. We could never say enough TERRIFIC things!!! We are so impressed with the value of working with OLAS. Their pricing was extremely reasonable and what we got for it blew us away -- 8 hours of a photographer and second shooter, a videographer and second shooter, 400 amazing photos, a highlight reel, videos of speeches, the entire ceremony and a 45-min feature film of everything. The talent of Graham, our photographer, and Zack our videographer was seriously SO impressive. The passion they each have for their craft was so evident the day of our wedding and to see them so excited about the work got us that much more excited about it too. Additionally, they were so easy and FUN to work with! We had such a natural and positive rapport with them and they seriously made taking all the many photos required on your wedding day feel relaxed and enjoyable. In addition, Hannah was awesome to work with! She was extremely responsive with every one of the many emails I sent and made us feel like we were in great hands from the moment we signed our contract. Would recommend this team, 10/10 to anyone!

My philosophy for music is, "You bring the dancers and I'll bring the music".  I'll take your requests and my years of experience and turn your wedding into something your guests will never forget.  In order to play the right song at the right time, it's all about observation and knowing your crowd.  As I am selecting and mixing songs, I am attentive to everyone's reaction. Years of performing gives me an understanding of action and reaction... an easier way to put it is, I know how to rock the socks off your wedding!

His communication throughout the planning process was personal, prompt and respectful, making us feel like valued clients. The sound quality and song selection the day-of was excellent.

He kept the style of music going that appealed to all our guests, from young to old. Shane's ability to read the room and keep all age groups engaged really made for an interactive and fun reception.

The day of, her process was so smooth and seamless - we felt so comfortable around her and she vibed PERFECTLY with our photo team.

Dhalia Events is an award winning event production company & was recently named "Best Planners in the Northeast" by LuxLife Magazine. Our magic is borne out of an insistence on creating bespoke, highly personalized experiences. We focus on the uniqueness of our couples by encouraging them to be their most authentic and raw selves.

Awarded Best of Zola
Deliece & Melissa were integral to the success of our beautiful wedding, and life savers in their day-of coordination of the event. I selected a ten week package where my fiancée and I selected our vendors and personalized the event to our tastes, but in the two and a half months leading up to the big day they dove in head first to get a handle on every detail and help us polish off any items on our to do list that we were struggling with. After hours of meetings to extract information that had been swirling around in my brain for a year, we were provided with a minute by minute timeline of the day, along with an entire decision making workbook that lead us through ceremony choices, first dance planning and a comprehensive item inventory to make sure no detail was left behind. They provided a budgeting workbook that made my little accountant heart flutter, and offered guidance based on years of practical experience working events and seeing how guests congregate and react to specific elements. Once their package kicked in I was able to pass off tasks that were stressing me out and know that they were being handled completely. Their additional day-of team member, Antonia, shadowed me (the bride) for most of the day and acted like a fairy godmother—handing me an already opened bottle of water or much needed electric fan, provided hair pins out of thin air, tackling my complicated bustle, and generally being warm, pleasant, and comforting in moments of anxiety. She melted into the background when I was on, and offered a protective enclave to sink back into when I needed a minute. The Dhalia team was flawless in their execution of the plan, and tactful in their handling of complex family relationships and herding of guests. Their pricing was clear and uncomplicated, and they were happy to answer straightforward questions with concise answers and no awkwardness or pressure to spend more than planned. Alanis Morissette prepared me for the possibility of rain on my wedding day, but Dhalia made sure my vision still came together perfectly! Thank you so much!!

Charlene was the essential glue to all our wedding events! Nothing was done by wedding venue, we had to coordinate every piece ourselves: food, music, ceremony, dance floor, alcohol, waiting staff, cakes, flowers, transportation and more (all of them from different vendors!) Because of that, we lacked an overseer who could help us ensure all the final details were on track and working right. Our conversations with Charlene leading up to the wedding put us at ease, because she saw things we didn't see and fleshed out our plans, covering all the nitty gritty details we barely had the energy for, and it was a HUGE LIFESAVER. Not only that, but Charlene also helped us out when we were in a pinch during the day of the wedding and after. She went above and beyond, and we're so, so grateful. That day was one of the best days of my life, and I would relive it again and again if I could. Thank you Charlene!

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
We loved working with Cate and highly recommend her as a wedding photographer!! Something we really appreciated about her right away was that she wanted to get to know us both as people and really wanted to understand our vision for our wedding. We had an engagement photoshoot with her, which also gave us a chance to get to know each other and she gave us lots of prompts and creative ways to feel comfortable in the photos which made the session really fun! On the day of the wedding, Cate and her assistant Mimi were so supportive, flexible, and fun to work with! They captured intimate and emotional moments of our wedding as well as the general landscape/ layout of the wedding, which was exactly what we wanted. Something we really appreciated about Cate is her ability to capture the emotions and interactions among people and we really like that she took photos of the typical wedding moments (first dance, etc) as well s the more unique moments (the kids playing, the flowers, guests emotional reactions, etc). She also sent us a sneak peek video slideshow of the wedding photos only about a week after the wedding which we enjoyed sharing with our guests. Many of our guests have commented on how much they like the photos and also on Cate’s positive and unobtrusive presence during the wedding. She is not only a highly skilled and creative photographer, but she is also a genuinely caring and very inclusive person who strives to capture all people authentically and joyfully through her photographs.

The most important thing for our wedding was to have a great live band and Bills Toupee came highly recommended and was the perfect choice! They had everyone out on the dance floor(s) from the minute they started playing through their rousing rendition of “Shout” to cap the night. We worked with Scott to book the band and share our music interests and everything with scheduling the band and the prep of what we wanted was extremely smooth and fun. Scott listened to what we wanted, and he and the band delivered an Awesome experience that will not be forgotten. We had the wedding in our backyard and the flexibility of Scott and the band to maneuver and set up the perfect staging area was greatly appreciated. They even moved a giant wood pile without asking for help. Our friends and family are still sending messages to us about how much fun they had. They truly allowed us to kick back and enjoy a phenomenal show. We can’t say thank you enough and are already planning our next backyard event and we know who will perform!! ---Thank you, Ned & Melissa Aug 14, 2021

Mixing evocative Celtic songs with upbeat Americana folk and acoustic covers, Lindsay Straw delivers a soundtrack in a warm alto voice with intricate guitar and Irish bouzouki accompaniment. With over 250 weddings under her belt, she loves working with couples to provide the perfect folky playlist tailored to their tastes and needs. She provides her own sound gear and can accommodate new song requests. She's open to weddings all over New England.

Lindsay was beyond amazing, I can't say enough nice things about her and the special touch she brought to our wedding. Lindsay played during our ceremony and cocktail hour. First and foremost, she has the most beautiful and enchanting voice (we heard a sample and were hooked immediately). She was very easy to work with and so helpful throughout the entire process. Lindsay worked with us early on to get an idea of how she would best fit in and what we were looking for in terms of music choices. She provided guidance for the different songs that play during the ceremony and then what type of music she would play at the cocktail hour. We had so many guests come up to us asking about Lindsay and saying how wonderful she was and that she really made the ceremony special. I would recommend her over and over again and we look forward to seeing her at some of the other shows she plays around us! Thank you Lindsay!

I'm a CA based and travel wedding photographer. I've photographed almost 200 weddings, and every single one goes by so quickly. I love my job because even though the day goes by fast, I get to find and capture those small moments, sometimes just a fraction of a second long, so they can be relived over and over in photographs. I have a photojournalistic and editorial style, plus 9 years of wedding experience under my belt, so trust me that I've got it while you are able to fully enjoy your day and be present.

Holly Castillo Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the beginning, Holly's communication was quick and easy, making the planning process stress-free. On the day of the wedding, she was very laid back and intuitive, seamlessly capturing all the special moments without us even noticing she was there. Holly's expertise and talent were evident in the stunning photos she delivered - we were blown away by how beautifully she documented our day. We loved working with Holly so much that we've continued to use her for our yearly family photos ever since, and wouldn't want anyone else to capture these memories for us.

This Insane Idea Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,250
  • Serves Durham, CT

We are Mark & Brittany Edman, NJ based wedding team. Mark created “This Insane Idea” with the vision that anything is possible. As your lead shooter, he had a passion for photography his entire life, capturing moments around him in the most authentic ways until one day Brittany told him “go full time”, it was insane. He fell in love with wedding photography and the emotion it brought out for everyone involved. Coming home so happy with unique stories and photos from all over the state, Brittany knew she needed to join him on wedding days. Having a background in hospitality for 20 years Brittany began coordinating the day alongside Mark.

When it comes to Mark and his team, I don’t even know where to start. Everyone always said to me, “when you find the right photographer, you’ll know.” I had no idea what that meant, and browsed dozens of vendors- until my venue (The Inn at Millrace Pond) tagged This Insane Idea in one of their Instagram photos. We knew immediately that we had to book Mark. We went above our initial budget, and we felt confident doing so- I can tell you their prices are hugely fair and they deliver what they promise. We had an extremely helped Zoom call with Mark, and at first we’re very anxious because he was going to be sending two of his staff, Tom and Kristen because he personally was unavailable our date. He ensured that Tom came with him for our engagement session. I can tell you- there was absolutely ZERO reason for us to worry, and we knew this as soon as we met Mark and Tom. Mark and his team are truly artists, and can find beauty in the best of moments- I will never forget being crouched in my beautiful gown like Gollum, plowing my way through cocktail hour food in between photos- because they captured it. I love how they captured moments that were truly US, and how their portraits still managed to capture the many huge personalities of our families, friends, and us. They were excellent at communication, and made sure we were always in the loop. They walked us through our timeline in specific detail. And on the day of, as I was trying not to have a panic attack because we were running so behind (no fault of the photographers), Kristen and Tom more than kept it together, which made us feel so relaxed. They made sure to include a portrait of me and the ladies of my family where we were holding my mom’s wedding album, and I can’t tell you how much it meant to me. Even our detail photos were exceptional. I find myself looking at our photos frequently; reliving each moment they captured. We are so incredibly grateful to them for everything they did for us. I also wish I could express how important our engagement photos they took for us are to us. I weirdly am getting emotional writing this, because while you hire vendors and hope for the best- This Insane Idea gave us more than the best. I cannot recommend them enough!

Just absolutely outstanding, every step of the way. We hired Ariana and her company to play music for our entire wedding (ceremony & reception). A string quartet and drummer. Wouldn't hesitate to hire them again. Our guests were both surprised and filled with wonder at how the music fit seamlessly with the wedding: that's the beauty of the art and the professionalism that that Ariana String Groups brings. Ariana's group learned a new song especially for me, and it meant so much for me to hear it at the wedding (Both Sides Now, by Joni Mitchell). One of the incredible things about Ariana and her company is that they aren't just about the music: they help you every step of the way. We needed help and advice on many "things wedding" and Ariana not only helped us make decisions, but she and her team stepped up and coordinated when we needed help. Music is extremely important in my life, but I had some very specific requirements for the wedding because of my own needs. Ariana never hesitated - she was a true partner. It was a blessing to not have to worry about something I needed to go right. Fabulous.

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!

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was choosing vendors who are great people with passion, care, and great energy. DJ Kevin is all of the above - the vibes were immaculate. My husband is a musician so music was one of the most important aspects of the wedding for him and DJ Kevin met his high standards. Leading up to the wedding, Kevin was informative, communicative, and has the type of personality that helps melt the stress away (and I couldn't have appreciated that more in the last week before the wedding!). He was also adaptable without judgement which is sometimes in short supply in the wedding industry but goes a long, long way in my book. For the wedding, we created playlists for the different sections of the wedding, and Kevin knew just how to make our vision come to life --playing the right songs at just the right time and helping the wedding flow seamlessly. He also helped curate the perfect mood for dancing with his light design, and his new Photo Booth add on gave our guests an endless source of enjoyment when they needed to catch their breath off the dance floor. (And even more enjoyment for us when we got to see all the pictures and gifs people took after the wedding!). And if all that wasn't enough already, he even volunteered to take pictures during our sparkler exit and captured one of my favorite pictures of the whole day! If I ever needed to plan a big event again in the future, the choice for DJ is already made.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

Randy is the absolute BEST. We were lucky enough to have two beautiful, stunning, distinct sets of wedding photos from him -- one for our mini-wedding in 2020, and one for our bigger reception in 2021. Both times he captured the spirit of the day with an elegance, warmth, emotion, and vision that blew our minds and transports us back to the magic of the day every time we look at them. When you're running around and greeting people on your wedding day, you inevitably miss out on some sweet, funny, and emotional moments, but Randy captured them all so vividly that we don't feel like we missed anything at all. And he gave us a breathtaking new perspective on all the moments we do remember, helping us relive the joy from every angle. Beyond his talents, he was an absolute pleasure to work with, prompt with communication, and always made us feel at ease, comfortable, and cared for. Planning a wedding for 2020 led to a lot of confusion and stress on our end, and Randy was so patient and kind through every step of planning, and even the big day itself. When I had some pre-ceremony tears as a mix of worrying about my dress and pent-up pandemic anxiety, Randy communicated my stress to my husband-to-be before our first look so he could comfort me. I felt touched that Randy did that, going above and beyond his duties to make sure we had the perfect day. His work speaks for itself, managing to simultaneously be truthful to the moments and emotions he captures, while still creative, artistic, and innovative. He puts so much thought and heart into every photo, and the results are truly unbelievable. We are so happy we worked with Randy, and so incredibly thankful for the memories he's given us.

As someone who didn't have a super strong vision for the florals, Sara guided me every step of the way and I was able to fully trust her to execute her vision. She did not disappoint! Everything from the centerpieces to the arch were absolutely perfect. Not to mention, my bouquet was one of the most stunning I have ever seen! Sara is undeniably talented, but the true magic of Muse Art Co. is the passion and love Sara exudes. When it seemed inevitable that it was going to rain Sara was so calm and reassured me that everything would be beautiful either way. The rain miraculously held off and Sara's flowers added so much brightness to the overcast day. I simply cannot imagine our wedding day without Sara and Muse Art Co.
