Sarcasm & Sunshine Designs Flower Preservation 

5.0

  • Florist
  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Groton, CT

Sarcasm & Sunshine Designs is comprised of two friends, turned business partners. We worked together for several years planning events and weddings, so we have a shared love of sparkle, flowers, coffee, and making beautiful memories! We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate our growth as friends, mothers and confidants, than to combine our creativity and passions to create one of a kind items to brighten the days and lives of others. Our business, our products, and our partnership is all about balance, Contessa is the Sarcasm, Danielle is the Sunshine. Some days, we switch roles, but we think life is better with both!

Having my wedding flowers preserved was extremely important to me. To be able to keep something perfectly preserved that was so beautiful on my special day is unreal. Danielle is the kindest and easiest person to work with. She gets back to you within seconds and listens to any and every crazy request I had. Along with a tray, wine stopper, ornament, and book mark, Danielle was able to take part of my Mother’s wedding dress (that was wrapped around my bouquet) and preserve it in a jewelry box with my flowers. Let me tell you, the reaction my mom had on her face when I gave her that jewelry box was indescribable. If you are ever second guessing preserving your wedding flowers, this is your sign to do it. You won’t regret it! Sarcasm and Sunshine’s work is impeccable and I hope that others are able to have their flowers preserved with such care and precision as I was able to have mine.

  • Serves Groton, CT

At Eisley Images we are actively anti-racist by learning and unlearning our own biases and learned behavior. We are actively trying to make the wedding industry we are a part of more inclusive, kind, and part of the larger discussion at hand. As consumers ourselves, we deeply appreciate knowing WHO we are investing our money in. We want to be upfront and unapologetic about who we are, and what values we deeply believe in.

We reached out to Christy almost immediately after booking our venue (18 months before our wedding), and are so happy we did! We had a great engagement shoot - something we didn't think we needed/wanted but she convinced us that it was worth it and it was! When the pandemic hit, Christy was flexible and kind as we figured out how to change our wedding plans. We decided to have a super small, outdoor wedding at a family house with as many precautions and safety measures as possible and only 12 us total. Christy felt like a member of our family as she captured the most beautiful photos of our day! She was one of the only vendors on our wedding day and we are SO happy she was there with us! On top of Christy's awesomeness as a person, our photos are better than we ever could have imagined! We have the most beautiful photos to remember our intimidate wedding by and will cherish forever. Our family members who attended love them, too - and having such beautiful images to share with our friends and family who couldn't attend has been so great. Our wedding day was so much better than we could have imaged, and having Christy capture our day made it even better!

Tired of not seeing yourselves represented in the wedding industry? Welcome to the RTP fam - we're a husband and wife duo shooting a combination of digital, film and Polaroid photos so that your gallery will deliver all the vibes and capture your sick, nontraditional love. And because of all the time we'll spend together getting to know you and crafting the perfect photo timeline for your day, you'll feel like we're just your two best friends there to capture the moments. No matter your size, race, gender, sexual orientation or religion, we're here to hype you up as you share all your wildest wedding ideas with us!

Meaghan and Evan were simply the best! Rhode Tripper Photography was the first photographer we reached out to for our wedding and after meeting with Meaghan we knew there was no need to look further because not only did she offer everything we possibly wanted - film, polaroids, amazingly composed photos - but she immediately felt like a friend we were getting to know. While we were nervous heading into our engagement shoot, Meaghan and Evan made it feel like the most natural thing in the world, and we had so much fun laughing our way through the shoot. That feeling only continued as we got to know them more and worked to plan out the details for our wedding. Meaghan laid everything out so clearly in the weeks and months leading up to our wedding and helped to organize our thinking for what truly mattered on our wedding day. It's hard to put into words how special our photos are - but Meaghan and Evan did such an incredible job capturing the very best moments of our wedding day. We've had trouble narrowing down our favorites because there are so many good ones! If you are looking for a photographer who will feel like a friend capturing your day with beautiful, intimate moments look no further.

  • Serves Groton, CT

New England Wedding Planner and Designer A Christian, Wife, and Mom of three - Lover of all things love. My journey to wedding planning began when I planned my wedding. I was immersed in the world of Planning and Design, and a passion grew. I know what it is like to walk in the shoes of a bride who desires an unforgettable day. With an eye for beauty, attention to detail, and a Master's Degree in Business Administration, I have found my place in the world of Planning! I help modern romantics create the wedding of their dreams.

We reached out to Sabrina once we realized how overwhelming the wedding planning process was and after one call we knew we needed to book her! At that point we hired her after we booked our venue, DJ and photographers so she picked up right where we left off. She offered a partial wedding planner package that was perfect for where we were at that stage of planning. Our only regret was not booking her from the beginning!! Sabrina's services kept us organized and on track with everything we needed to do. She checked in with us every month leading up to the wedding and was always available for any calls or emails. Extremely responsive. She had so much knowledge and first hand experience with different vendors in the area that she made our lives sooo much easier in booking the remaining vendors we needed. She also put together our decor Inspo and she was SPOT ON! And she brought it to life the day of the wedding! Sabrina also handled our timelines which we would not have had the bandwidth to put together that last 1-2 months before the wedding as we were already stressed enough. Our biggest ask to Sabrina was not to have to worry about anything the day of the wedding and Sabrina team delivered on that request! Moral of the story, BOOK DEFINED LUXE EVENTS!

The Liquorist MD 

5.0

  • Bar services & beverages
  • Starts at $22
  • Serves Groton, CT

Hi friends! We’re Dan and Rebecca! After working together for many years, Dan won me (Rebecca) over with his genius cocktail creations and bartending skills. But, legend has it that my bartending skills are what really sealed the deal as we’re now married with two daughters, Scarlett and Josephine. We wanted to expand our love for liquor, meet new people, and make friends so we came up with The LiquoristMD. We had never heard of a mobile bar in Connecticut but were inspired by the many mobile bars we follow down South and the rest was history!

Rebecca and Dan were so great to work with for my June wedding. So many people complimented their service - and their amazing mobile bar!! It was a highlight of the night. They were so easy to work with from start to finish and went above and beyond. We are lucky we found them! Highly recommend.

Kimberly Coccagnia

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $6,500
  • Serves Groton, CT

We know you're probably feeling some pressure to select a wonderful photographer to document your wedding since your photographs are the only part of your wedding that are remaining once the wedding day itself is over. Selecting the photographer for you is fairly easy… you should feel a connection straight away after reviewing our portfolio, and know that we’ll capture the both of you, your wedding, your family and friends in a wonderful truthful and beautiful way that will last forever. Sometimes, it’s as simple as that…feeling it!

We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Kim and had our day captured so perfectly and exactly how we envisioned. From our initial meeting, engagement photos and to the final delivery of the photos, Kim exceeded every expectation we had for a wedding photographer. On the wedding day, Kim and Barry seamlessly blended into the background, yet somehow managed to be everywhere – capturing every significant moment without ever feeling intrusive. Their attention to detail is impeccable, ensuring that no moment went unnoticed. We have so many amazing and candid moments from the day and looking through our photos feels like reliving the day itself. Kim and Barry captured everything so beautifully and we are beyond happy with the photos and will cherish them forever. We could not recommend Kim enough!

The Happy Couple Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,400
  • Serves Groton, CT

We have history, we have cameras, we have a height difference. And we think two heads are better than one, four eyes better than two. We are Joe and Katye Brier, and picture-making is a daily passion and pursuit in our family. It’s the souvenir we take home after traveling, and they way in which we wrap our heads around the passage of time. Our approach to wedding photography is to extend as much care to the small moments as we do to the marquis moments of the day.

While researching wedding photographers, my wife and I stumbled upon HC's work and we knew we had to reach out. For our small wedding, we only needed one photographer, and Joe was everything we were looking for. We didn't need a bunch of portraits of the wedding party and family, and only had a rough idea of a post-ceremony photo-op. We basically told Joe to think photo-journalism and gave him complete freedom. We're so happy with the results. There are so many candid moments that you will completely miss on your wedding day, and his stealthy patience and perspective showed us things that we would have never noticed. He has a really fantastic eye and sense of moment. Communication was great, and his attitude was unrelentingly positive. He was the only non-local vendor at our wedding, and fit right into our little community.

Lushi Song Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Groton, CT

Capturing all joyful moments, fulfilling celebrations, and timeless memories of weddings is a true passion of mine. Throughout my career I have developed techniques by using both digital and film mediums, allowing the camera to capture motion imagery as well as detailed portraits. As a professional photographer, my goal is to obtain the stories of each unique formality, as every participant has their own story to tell. I am a firm believer that organic and natural photos are the ones that will live on forever and bring back the heartfelt reminiscence of that moment. I am looking forward to hearing your story.

My husband and I can’t stop talking about Lushi and how much we appreciated her not only on our wedding day but the months and weeks leading up to it. From the minute we met Lushi two years ago, she felt like a friend which brought great comfort. We had to postpone our wedding due to Covid and she stayed in contact with us the whole time and never made us feel forgotten. The day of the wedding Lushi showed professionalism and grace which made me feel very much at ease during that hectic day. She was direct but also calm while navigating her surroundings, making sure she got the best shot. She was very quick with sending us “preview pictures” from the day to hold us over which were absolutely beautiful. Our family and friends commented on how talented and creative Lushi is as a photographer and how great the photos came out. We look forward to working with her again in the future, perhaps when we start a family of our own. We will highly recommend her to all family and friends looking for a photographer.

By Halie

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $8,500
  • Serves Groton, CT

I learned photography 10+ years ago in the darkroom at my high school. From there, I was hooked. Fast-forward to being fresh out of college, in a new city, and needing new friends. I found an amazing group who also loved photography. We traveled abroad and across the country together, sharing our travel photos all over Instagram (which, had just become all the hype). That was all it took for my first couple to ask me to photograph their wedding. I'm now a full-time hybrid wedding photographer!

The best decision David and I made during our wedding planning was hiring Halie for our wedding photography. She is so amazing at what she does and so organized with it! Which is something we have in common, I am super Type-A so the relationship I built with Halie was top tier and it made the whole planning process/wedding day a breeze. For David and I, our Rhode Island wedding was a destination as we are from Maryland so this made things a bit more complex with scheduling and understanding the area. When planning our engagement shoot, Halie made perfect suggestions for different locations to satisfy the different vibes I wanted in our pictures. During the shoot, she put us at ease and helped pose us in different ways to get the perfect shot. She also captured family photos for my family and I while we were all in Rhode Island for wedding planning activities. This helped us have an even closer bond with Halie and she got to see some of the family dynamics. All of the photos were absolutely beautiful!!! Between our engagement shoot and our wedding, Halie stayed in constant communication with me and gave me so many good tips/suggestions/ideas throughout the process. She made us a custom photo timeline for the whole wedding day. This was so helpful and we used her photo timeline as our baseline when engaging with all of our other vendors to ensure they were all on the same schedule. Halie captured pictures of our rehearsal dinner and intimate private sailboat ride with our inner circle. It was so fun to have her there to capture all of our New England details that we had spent so much time planning. Once again, she nailed it and got so many great pictures of us and our families! If you are considering adding rehearsal coverage, this is your sign to do it!!! Now for the wedding day, she truly outdid herself! She came fully prepared to dive into all of the shots and was reassuring me when I realized we were running slightly behind schedule. She was like my director that day and I had complete trust in her for all of it. She remained calm, poised, professional throughout all of the wedding day chaos. All of our wedding party was so impressed by Halie's well thought out photography. When we received our sneak peeks, we were just in utter shock!! They were stunning and exactly what we were hoping for. Halie’s photography style is the perfect blend of romantic and timeless. David and I are forever grateful for the memories that Halie and her team captured on our wedding day. We truly cannot recommend Halie enough! She is amazing!

Hello there! Thank you for stopping by! My name is Christina and I am a natural light, lifestyle photographer. I am so excited for this journey called photography. I take my inspiration from music, light, art and my two beautiful girls, Chloe and Mabel. Photos are so important. They are what we have after a wedding or when our children are all grown up. I like to take photos of how people interact and try to capture their personality in a photo. I would love to take part in recording memories for you and your family.

Christina is wonderful to work with. I work with many videographers/photographers in my line of work and Christina is most definitely on the top of my list of "Best to work with". I hired her for my engagement & wedding photos. Christina is professional, timely, has a great eye for photography and has a wonderful personality to go with it! Being photographed can be overwhelming but Christina completely put my husband and I at ease and made our wedding day/engagement photos even more fun and meaningful. Not only would we hire her again, but we would only hire her!

Carla Ten Eyck Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,700
  • Serves Groton, CT

Almost 20 years of experience and I still get as excited as I did when I first started photographing events! I got my BFA in photojournalism at Rochester Institute of Technology and my common sense from a well-lived, full life. From intimate weekday elopements to full scale destination events that require a team of photographers, I have done it all. I focus on telling the most full and vibrant story of your event, so you can look back and feel like you didn't missed a thing.

I've known Carla and have worked with her for over a decade! Being on the professional side of this industry, I am able to see not just how a vendor works with their couples but also the heart, soul, and absolute dedication they pour into every element behind the scenes that make such an impact in the service they provide. Something I've always witnessed with Carla is how personal she makes her process with her clients, which is so necessary, especially from a photography perspective! Your photographer is the person who captures every moment of your day you can think, and all the ones you can't. Having someone give you a forever memory of the real emotion, reactions, and who you are is so essential to the success and enjoyment of not just the day but the time leading up to it. That someone being able to connect with you is what allows that to happen, and Carla takes pride in how personal and truly special she makes going about this relationship. Her work is stunning, she is honest and forthcoming, and she has such a passion for what she does that it truly sets her apart from many!! Some of the best moments from events that I didn't know anyone other than the couple still hold such a special place in my heart because of the photos she's captured. I can only assume that the impact it has on the actual couple and family is insurmountably greater than what I feel to this day!

  • DJ

  • Serves Groton, CT

With 13 years in business and four Top 3 Best of Hartford Wedding DJ Awards, this well rounded DJ has solidified her spot as a Top Wedding Professional in CT. She is ready collaborate and make your already special event even more epic!

Stephanie, aka DJ Stardust, DJed our wedding in June of 2023. Neither of us are huge music people, so we were looking for a DJ who could run with minimal direction, and Stephanie was exactly that! She was very organized and communicative leading up to the wedding day. She had a great form that we filled out with all the details you could possibly imagine in terms of songs we wanted/didn’t want/when, and she executed exactly as we expected. Our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were in three different rooms/spaces, and Stephanie seamlessly moved through providing appropriate music (and emceeing) at each. The one special thing we asked her to do was coordinate a “photo dash” (where everyone sitting at each table comes up to the dance floor for a group photo within the time limit of one song), and she did it very well. She accidentally skipped a table at one point, but rather than making a big deal about it, she joked about it and everyone laughed. The photo dash was one of the most talked-about things after our wedding. Something unique that our venue offered was the chance for DJs to plug into a high-end speaker system they had installed for a small fee. We asked Stephanie to do this, and at first she was hesitant because she didn’t want to be using equipment she wasn’t familiar with day-of (understandably!). Of her own volition, she reached out to our venue and coordinated a time where she could go see the equipment and practice setting up to make sure it would work with her equipment and just generally feel it out. We really appreciated her going above and beyond in this way, and the day of the wedding went off with no issues at all.

  • Bar services & beverages
  • Serves Groton, CT

Hey there ! I'm Bianca, the Founder of Bevida & Company. The idea for starting Bevida & Company stemmed from a deep appreciation of seeing loved ones come together, just like my family did for birthdays, holidays, and many other special occasions. After 16 years in the field and gaining valuable experience, I was inspired to establish a business that would create a unique bar experience that could foster those connections in the comfort of their own backyard.

I had the pleasure of hiring Bevida & Company for my wedding on September 16, 2023, and I cannot recommend them enough. The beautiful trailer bar added a unique touch to our fall backyard wedding, and the cocktails they served were absolutely delicious. One of the highlights was the his and hers cocktails they offered. The spicy guava margarita was a hit among the ladies, while the old fashion was a favorite among the gentlemen. It was a thoughtful touch that added a personal and special element. With over 80 guests in attendance, the efficiency and professionalism of the Bevida & Company team were truly impressive. No one had to wait long for a drink, which allowed our guests to fully enjoy themselves. If you're planning an upcoming rehearsal or wedding, I highly recommend considering Bevida & Company for your bar services. They provide exceptional cocktails that will ensure your guests mustard the liquid courage and enjoy dancing the night away!

The Leighton Co. is a husband and wife photography and filmmaking team documenting stories of love and life through intentional, modern, and genuine imagery. We believe that when the day isn't solely focused around the photos and video, then THAT is when you get the best footage.

I highly recommend Becca and Scott. I sent in an inquiry form, and soon after Becca scheduled a call for us to discuss what we envisioned for our wedding day and to tell us about their different packages. We were not certain that we wanted a videographer, but Becca and Scott helped to guide us to make the best choice for us. Leading up to our wedding day, Becca was great about communicating with us. And best of all she created a day of timeline for us! I was so stressed about the timing of the day, but once I saw her suggested timeline, I knew it would work out great. On the day of our wedding, both Becca and Scott were awesome. They were supportive and kind, making sure that we were comfortable and able to be where we wanted to. We never felt awkward or like we were “forcing it” for the cameras. Post wedding, Becca and Scott were again great about communicating with us about when they would deliver our finalized photos and video. Both our engagement and wedding photos/ videos are beautiful. The Leighton Co has a timeless style that we love, and they do a great job of capturing you and your day as it is. It is very obvious how much hard work they put in, and how dedicated they are to the couples they work with. I know that we will look back at our pictures and videos for many years and instantly remember how loved we felt that day.

There is an art to entertaining. To create a memorable wedding celebration, you need quality entertainment. Most events I do start with some common elements: guests, music and the client’s desire for the event to be successful. It’s the inspiration in the execution and preparation before the event that distinguishes me from the ordinary. While others may do events by number, I make each event an original, a unique reflection of my client…you! I take inspiration from your dreams and desires. I do not ask you to follow someone else’s format because I will thrive in yours.

Butch was simply phenomenal! He was able to keep our small wedding so high energy it felt like we had a room full of a hundred people! He was so flexible with us as we had so many changes throughout the planning process. He was willing to work with us regardless of what our contract stated, he just wanted us to have the best wedding we could. He was so helpful in planning meetings and his tool was easy and fun for us to use! We asked him last minute to do all the ceremony music and he was even willing to jump in the day of to marry us when we thought we were without an officiant. All of our guests raved about him! We can't say enough about Butch except to HIRE HIM! :)

I love capturing the moment and it's emotion! I love creating ART, photographing memories, and creating a story in a way that my clients would want it to be expressed. I focus on both the smallest details, as well as, the grandest moments; captured and printed into beautiful masterpieces. My work speaks volumes and my passion is shown through each client's assignment. as though we're reliving those moments all over again. One of my biggest commitments I make to each individual client is to consistently give him/her high quality work with a touch of perfection.

I have had the pleasure of working with Leo and team several times. Many times in New York and New Jersey and once for an awesome wedding in Italy. Attention to detail, professionalism, ability to work as a team with other vendors...oh and by the way...AWESOME PICTURES! As a DJ, I cannot say enough about how great it was to work with Leo. Use them, you will not regret it!
