Our wedding was photographed by Debi in July 2020. She did an outstanding job. She was very easy to work with and the photos were amazing. We had over 375 to choose from and they were ready in about a week. Her work, price and work ethic can't be beat. We highly recommend her.

The Sulls are a tight knit network of friends who provide music for wedding couples across the northeast. Their award winning live show and musicianship is perfect for wedding couples who are hard pressed to find a wedding band that suits them.

The Sulls were absolutely amazing to work with in every way. Communication and planning for our big day with them was seamless and easy. My husband plays in a wedding band and is a musician so having live music at our wedding was a must. They did not disappoint. They sounded amazing, played great songs and were the talk of the wedding! Our guests and us loved them so much! I would recommend them to everyone!

Fountainhead Floral Design 

5.0

Milford, CT
  • Florist
  • Starts at $3,000
  • 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).

Awarded Best of Zola
When I first saw my wedding bouquet I was speechless! It was nothing like any other bouquet I had seen in the absolute best way! The flowers were gorgeous, vibrant, and truly unique, just like I wanted! Kate has such a keen ability to take inspiration photos, run with them, and create something incredibly gorgeous and in line with my vision. The florals she designed brought a lovely pop of color to our reception and pulled the natural look from the landscape into the space exactly like I envisioned. From little details like "snap-bracelet" corsages for the moms to a color-coordinating ribbon on the boutonnieres, Kate totally knocked it out of the park!

Modern Strings trio played at my wedding on June 28, 2024 - they were absolutely magnificent!! From the second I booked my venue, I knew the very first vendor I had to book was Modern Strings. I had followed Modern Strings for some time and knew it was the most important vendor for me to have! Modern Strings played for my ceremony as well as cocktail hour. They set the stage for an emotional, elegant ceremony; then followed by a beautiful upbeat cocktail hour. Our guests were floored by the modern music played on string instruments. Our wedding was everything we could have ever dreamed of and we have Modern Strings to thank for being such a special part of our day! P.S. Peep the emotion on my face walking down the aisle; the music really let us feel so in the moment of an incredibly special celebration!

Cate Barry Photography

Hamden, CT
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,900

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 can’t say enough good things about Cate and why she is simply the best photographer you could find. We are delighted with the photographs from our wedding. We received a huge sneak peak just 5 days after our wedding. Cate’s photos beautifully capture all of the warmth and joy and wonderful moments of the day. More than that, Cate brings a great energy with her. She is an absolute professional when it comes to managing time and large, unruly families. She is also a fun, calming, easy presence to have around on a day with a lot going on. Her second shooter Kieran was equally professional and took some truly phenomenal photos of the groomsmen. Cate’s dedication to making wedding photography inclusive and comfortable for everyone truly shows through in her photographs. We can’t recommend her enough for your engagement shoot, wedding, or life moments.

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.

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!

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. What I also liked is ours was the only wedding that day, so we were able to use the whole facility, and the staff was dedicated to us the entire evening!

Woodwinds 

4.3

Branford, CT
  • Venue
  • Up to 600 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $110

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.

I found the woodwinds through ZOLA, and I am so glad I got matched up! When I reached out, they set me up with a tour the same day. They were super reasonable with the hours and accommodated my weird work schedule. Their gm Randy met me after their normal operating hours which was so incredibly helpful and really set the tone for them. After we met my fiancé and I (oops husband now!) both felt good about the venue, but we had to show our parents. So, we reached out again and asked to schedule a tour for our parents the following weekend where they met with the main saleswoman Vanessa. When my parents left, they were sold. When we booked, we were so pleasantly surprised to have an entire team helping us leading up to our wedding. We worked with Michael, Randy, and Kate. Kate processed all our payments as we chipped away at our balance (they don’t require this, but it was super helpful for us.) Michael was our main planner and coordinator, and he is an absolute expert in the industry! Not only did he have answers to all our questions, but he gave us recommendations along the way and oh boy was he on point! Randy is an amazing asset to the team as well. We think he lives at work because we would email early in the morning, late at night, midday, and sometimes all the above and we would always get a response in less than 5 minutes! I cannot thank the planning crew enough! The night of our wedding we worked with Sergio, and he is such a calm person it really made us feel comfortable. We always hear “oh the day is so hectic” or “time flies” and with Sergio we never felt rushed or pressured. We always felt like everything was under control. Also, our bridal attendant was on point with the mirror. Before pictures, cake, ceremony, entrances, dances she came running out with a little mirror for me to check my hair and makeup. She must have 20000 steps a day just running around with the mirror. That doesn’t even consider bringing me signature drinks and snacks! On a side note, the bartenders are in a class of their own. We had 173 guests and I NEVER saw a line, and everyone complimented how great the drinks were and how friendly and fun the bar staff were. We absolutely love woodwinds, and we haven’t stopped hearing “YOU GUYS HAD THE BEST WEDDING EVER!” from our family and guests. We could not be happier!!!

My name is Isabelle, and I grow chemical free, regenerative flowers and herbs on 3/4 of an acre in Hamden, CT. I truly love working on these blooms from start to finish, and I hope to get to share some of the beauty with you on your special day.

Awarded Best of Zola
There are many florists out there, but how many of them offer flowers they've grown themselves, right from the earth? If you want something super traditional, like a sphere of roses, Isabelle may not be for you. But if you like wildflowers, want to work with a super cool person, and collaborate not only with your vendor, but with the earth itself - this is who you want to work with! Everything Isabelle does has meaning and purpose. On my wedding day, they even foraged some goldenrod that was growing right outside our venue, adding it to the bunches of dramatic, colorful dahlias and unique blooms I don't even know the names of. It was meaningful, gorgeous, and creative. All of the arrangements they made came out came out stunning. Each one was a little different, but everything went together perfectly. I could not pick a favorite. Isabelle was also willing to take on so many little details I hadn't thought of. They provided a really lovely floral cake topper, and put little flowers in each of our guest's napkins. They also have opinions, and will share them when asked- something I like in vendors, who I feel often have the best instincts for what works well. In addition, their prices are incredibly reasonable, especially when you consider how special their work is. In a world of refrigerated carnations...be a wild goldenrod, plucked at golden hour, by a true artist :) Cannot recommend Fairy Meadow Flowers enough!

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!

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, flowers, and pollinator habitat. I have a life long passion for art and design. My floral and illustrative art forms compliment and inspire each other as flowers and plants often become subject matter for my illustrations and my fundamentals in composition and design help influence my floral work.

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!

Hi there! My name is Chris Randall. I'm a wedding photographer based in New Haven, Connecticut. I've been photographing weddings for twelve years and have photographed over 100 weddings. I absolutely love capturing the magic that exists between two people on the biggest day of their lives! It’s a responsibility that I don’t take lightly and I see it as an honor.

Chris took photos of our wedding and we can't say enough great things about him. As you can tell from his website, the quality of the pictures he takes is outstanding. We loved how his pictures captured the essence of moments without resorting to excessive editing or effects. What you can't tell from his website is that Chris is great and easy to work with. He was responsive, suggested great locations for a photo shoot, adapted plans to stay on schedule, and was an overall calming presence. We also loved that Chris gave us full rights to our photos, meaning that we don't have to pay to download or print them. Overall very highly recommended!

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!

Hi I'm Jackie, and I literally love my job! I’m a New England-based photographer for the last 18 years. I have to admit though, I love taking this one woman show on the road and travel makes me the happiest. I have been lucky enough to shoot destination weddings in England, Iceland, and Alaska. I would describe my photography style as very laid back and natural. The little in between moments make for the best photos, and I’m not about capturing awkward prom poses and forced smiles. I want the real stuff - the stuff that’ll make you laugh till your cheeks hurt and will make your heart beat faster.

Jackie was absolutely wonderful working with us, especially with changes due to COVID. She was so understanding and thoughtful that it really made any problems we faced with COVID that much easier. She will put in more time and effort than needed and it will show because our photos came out stunning. I am absolutely in love with them. She will make sure what you want is taken care of and then go above and beyond. I cannot even tell you how easy she made our wedding day. We had no worries when it came to our photos! I would recommend her to everyone!

I had the pleasure of having him as my photographer and I must point out his talent. I think all of us have been to events where it’s all pose pose pose switch pose pose - which is fine. But he captured life- he captured the moments of my wedding. The pictures have facial expressions because he took the pictures in a natural state. He was able to create a still frame of moments that now i can recall for the rest of my life. The whole experience was warm and organic- we communicated prior and he guided me through the plan. I highly recommend him.

Wilda is truly talented, but maybe more importantly, she listens to what you want and is able to make it happen. I love the transformative power of makeup, but for my wedding, I didn't want to transform, I wanted to look like myself only better. Thanks to Wilda, I really felt flawless on my big day and not just made-up. I could recommend Wilda wholeheartedly (and did!).

I’m a husband, a dad, and a photographer. I love spending time with my family and cannot get enough of my kids. If I could dance and be silly with them all day long, that’s what I’d do. It could be the Frozen soundtrack or 90’s hip-hop, either will work. I’m easily lost listening to music (I use to be a battle DJ). Exploring and be adventurous are good things. I’m always thinking of the next destination and where we can go. It doesn’t have to be a big trip. It could be down a country road, driving by the horse farm, around the corner from my house. I’m a dreamer.

I'll start by saying I am SO thankful my sister in law found and hired Tim as the photographer for her wedding a few years back because since then, he's become our 'family photographer'. The second my now husband and I met Tim at their wedding, we knew without a doubt we wanted him as our photographer when we got married.. and we are so incredibly happy we did! Tim' is not only an amazing photographer who can camera-awkward couples (us) look like their shooting for a magazine, but he is all around such a genuine, awesome person who makes you feel like you're hanging out with a friend. From our engagement photos to our wedding day, Tim captured so many beautiful moments that we will cherish forever. And we can't wait till the next person in our family gets married so we can see him again :)

I had my wedding at Anthony’s Ocean View. It was amazing and well worth every penny. Brian and Marcello are the best! I will say, the only negative aspect is that I was under the impression that only 1 wedding happened at a time - there was another wedding happening right next to us. This impacted our music, our photos and my speech was cut off because the other weddings music was so loud that the floor vibrated and I had to ask staff to do something. Other than that, the venue was beautiful, so accommodating, and food was absolutely fantastic. Would recommend Anthony’s to anyone.

With over 25 years of experience, over 200 hires on similar online platforms and more than 100 5 star reviews Dennis Nardella is rated a “Top Pro” for a reason. Every Client is different. I spend personal time meeting with each and every client working on a personal level to understand their needs and requests so their event is "their" event. I will put in the time that is needed to be certain your event is a success.

Dennis is the best DJ ever!!! My husband and I were absolutely blown away by how fantastic he was for our wedding. He put on a SHOW! There was a fog machine, up lights, and an entire light show, and microphones to sing along that kept everyone on the dance floor all night long! Dennis has an awesome personality and is a blast to work with. On the wedding day he did just the right amount of talking and was able to really feel the vibe of the night and play music accordingly. So many people commented that they thought I had given him the playlist because he matched the type of music we wanted so perfectly! Dennis played a great combination of music that had guests of all ages enjoying the wedding and saying it was the most fun wedding they’ve ever been to. He was also able to get almost everyone at the wedding into a conga line! He was extremely flexible and more than willing to do help us coordinate many unique items throughout the night (shoe game, husband singing live, “father daughter dance mash up, table dash, reverse anniversary dance). We had a difficult and unique timeline compared to most weddings due to it being a backyard wedding with a not so strict timeline, and two ceremonies (an American ceremony and a Moroccan ceremony) each requiring their own music. Throughout the day, Dennis was flexible and coordinated seamlessly with our other vendors to adjust the timeline when we were running late and made sure it worked for everyone. He knew the best times to do all of the events at the reception and we were easily able to extend him for an hour on the day of the wedding when we realized everyone was having such a good time and we didn’t want the party to end! Dennis was extremely helpful throughout the whole planning process by getting an idea of the type of music we liked and then offering suggestions he thought we would like. He was spot on and made the whole process of selecting music for the whole wedding (so many more songs than I would have anticipated) so easy and ensured we loved what we picked, giving us time to make decisions without us feeling rushed, while also making sure we were getting him the information he needed when he needed it. He always gave his advice but let us have the final say. Dennis went above and beyond the responsibilities of a DJ and dived in to help make our wedding special. When my husband wanted to have me walk down the aisle to a recording of him singing and playing the guitar, Dennis offered his own studio to him to record. My husband was not able to take him up on the offer since we live out of state, but when he sent Dennis a phone recording, without asking, Dennis took it upon himself to do a bit of editing to make the song even more beautiful. When my husband told Dennis he wanted to play the guitar and sing live at the reception, Dennis brought his own music stand and set up everything. He made a fun mashup of songs I requested for my father daughter dance. Instead of table numbers, we named out tables different Moroccan city names. Dennis looked up fun facts about each city that he announced as guests went to the buffet to get their food. Dennis puts his heart and soul into each wedding and it truly shows. Dennis – we truly can’t thank you enough for giving us and our guests such an amazing and fun night. From us to my grandparents to my college friends to my husband’s Moroccan family members who came from Morocco to attend, you gave everyone a night they will never forget!

Welcome to Big Green Truck Pizza! For more than 20 years, we have delighted customers all over Connecticut with delicious pizza served in an attractive, fun atmosphere. Our specially outfitted trucks are genuine antiques equipped with wood-fired brick ovens, tables, and all the ingredients needed to bring a buffet of New Haven pizza to your backyard. We pride ourselves on the quality, variety, and convenience of our pizza, and specialize in bringing a fun, professional atmosphere to every occasion.

We rented both the Big Green Pizza Truck and the Bev Truck for our wedding in New Haven and it turned out to be one of the best parts of the reception! Awesome food and great service by the BGT team. There were a couple of small miscommunications regarding finding the venue and set up preferences, but BGT resolved these quickly. They also went above and beyond throughout the service - they helped straighten up buffets that were not even theirs, ensured guests with dietary restrictions got their pizzas made, and were so friendly the entire time! Would hire them again in an instant.

I’m a full-time wedding photographer currently based in Central Connecticut. I love traveling, Thai food, all dogs, almost every type of music, and pretty much anything related to astronomy. Talking about myself has always been a little weird for me because I love hearing about you. My couples become my friends instantly, no really – as soon as we have our first chat together it’s DONE. BFFs for life. Be prepared for creating secret handshakes, inside jokes, and a ton of memories together!

Kelsey is beyond talented at capturing genuine moments and making them look incredible. She became a quick friend while also remaining professional. I can’t imagine working with anyone else for our wedding and I will absolutely shoot with her again in the future! Highly recommend working with Kelsey!!!

Growing up near cameras, flashes and lenses, my father was a photographer for a newspaper, and I loved developing photos with him in his darkroom. For the last few years, I have launched CC Garvie Photography and could not be happier--I love it ! Every new project is another exciting adventure, as I continue to develop my vision. I love capturing those precious moments, so we can look back one day and say, "wow look at that, remember when we took that photo?" That is photography to me, "preservation". And once you look back at those memories--the warm and fuzzy feelings we get in our hearts--it is priceless. Let me do that for you.

My husband and I hired Cece for our September wedding and we could not have been happier with her services and her talent! Our photos came out beautiful! She was very communicative with us, professional, and so easy to work with. Honestly, if we ever need professional pictures down the road it will be with Cece.

Our favorite photos are the ones that show your true selves, the ones where you are caught off guard, where you aren't paying attention to us running around, hiding behind bushes to get the frame, laying on the ground to change the angle. When we aren't taking photos we are dreaming of taking photos. We're married! We have a few kids too! We're creative, quirky, lovers of inspiration.

I don’t even know where to begin. To put it simply, Julianna and Noah are the BEST! They literally do it all - from wedding pep talks, jokes to keep you laughing through the stress of the day, managing our rather large family for photos, keeping everything fun and enjoyable, to creating insanely beautiful and unique photos. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with or for more incredible photos to remember our special day. We hope to get the chance to work with them again in the future!

Oh, hey! I’m Dana. I am a free-spirit with a true love for connection and raw emotion. I’ve been known to get caught up in the experience and have a passion for storytelling, so my photography is candid and emotive. I’m also a sucker for a gorgeous, natural backdrop so there’s nothing better than capturing an honest moment with a killer landscape. ​ When I don’t have a camera in my hand or a client on the therapy couch, I’m busy being a Mom to twins and wife to my partner, Brandi. You can also find me decorating our home or researching our next spontaneous adventure.

We have been using Dana for about 2 years now, and she has photographed myself and family from fall portraits to a surprise vow renewals and continuously leaves us speechless with every ‘unveiling’. Dana is easy to work with. Her sessions are effortless and honestly most times we all can’t stop laughing. Her eye for detail is spot on and her creativity in the moment is so much fun to be apart of. I highly recommend using Dana for your photography use because you will not be disappointed!

Hello and thanks for stopping by! My professional career as a Connecticut wedding photographer started nearly 20 years ago after attending photography school in Vancouver. I returned home to Milford, CT in 2000, started the business, and have been capturing wedding stories ever since!

My husband and I were so lucky to have Kevin at our wedding. He is a delight to work with, came up with ideas for our portraits and was a pleasure to have around. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We have only gotten a few photos back because we were only married 2 weeks ago, but I have no heistation in recomending him highly and without delay! He has a fresh, relaxed style. We were more interested in the "Money Shots" and candids than anything formal. Kevin did do some formal portait shots, so don't think that he won't if you want that, but we are really looking forward to our photos. He was wonderful to communicate with and could ot have been easier to work with. His prices are reasonable. You will be a lucky couple indeed if you can secure his services! Do not hesitate.

Hi There! My career as a hairstylist/freelance bridal stylist began a little over 10 years ago! Two years ago, I started my own business Tousled Wavz, and work as an independent artist at Meche Beauty Lounge. I love traveling for weddings, which is one of the reasons why I love my job! It allows me the opportunity to take in new sights and meet new people!

I had an amazing experience with Tracy! My maid of honor wanted a light, no make up look, and Tracy was able to do exactly that. I wanted I more made up look, and Tracy was able to pin point what I was looking. Our hair looked amazing! I have thin, fine hair and Tracy worked wonders with it. Tracy was even able to remove my veil and change out my hair accessories after the ceremony, and it took no time at all. I would work with Tracy again in a heartbeat. She listened to what each of us wanted and was able to cater to our different skin and hair types. My nerves were all over the place, and Tracy added such a calming presence to the day!

While I offer planning services for all types of events, weddings are my absolute favorite. I love working with people. I love making them laugh. I love love and I love watching each event unfold. This is literally my dream job and I am so grateful that I get to work in this amazing industry.

Hiring Raquel was far and away the best wedding planning decision we made. We chose her month-of package for our October wedding after attending a wedding she coordinated in June and she seamlessly incorporated herself into our process as we finalized everything with all of our vendors and was instrumental in the weekend itself going off without a hitch. She served as a sounding board and expert opinion throughout the end stages of the planning process, took on the tasks that I was dreading handling myself (timeline creation, to name one!), and asked thoughtful questions that hadn't even occurred to me. If there was an issue, I felt confident going into the wedding day that Raquel would be able to resolve it, and she didn't disappoint! From alcohol snafus to the threat of rain, from picture-dirty shoes to an unraveling bowtie, she tackled it all without batting an eye so that we could enjoy our day. Our wedding wouldn't have been what it was without her and we'll always be grateful to her for helping make our dreams come true!
