Awarded Best of Zola
Carol brought my cake dreams to life! She was super communicative throughout the entire process and truly cared about my vision. The cake tasting process was seamless and all of the cake flavors I tasted were extraordinary. My husband who doesn’t even like cake was obsessed with how light and airy the cake was and flavorful the frosting and fillings were. We had a stunning 2-tier mini tall cake and 48 cupcakes and all were executed with such care. The cupcakes were so moist and flavorful and the same with the cake. I’ve never seen the cake at a wedding disappear so fast, my guests loved it all. The design was better than I even imagined and I’m so grateful for Carol and all the care she put into giving me the most special cake and cupcakes. She is a true artist, in flavor and design! And I work in the culinary industry, my standards are super super high. You won’t regret working with Carol for your wedding.

Ashley is the BEST!! She did my wife and I’s engagement and wedding photographs. They are the best photos we’ve ever had taken of us. Every single photo of us is so raw but perfect and showcases our love in a way I had never seen captured! She also did my parents wedding photos and they are even more amazing(which I didn’t think was possible). I have seen some one off photos over the years kind of capturing the love my parents had (they had been together my entire life and then some aka 38 years before their wedding in 06/24). But every photo Ashley had taken that night managed to capture a glimpse of love that was so fleeting in the captured moments we had! I have no idea how she managed to capture that in every shot but she has a truly magical vision that can do that. It’s the only thing I can come up with! you will never regret booking with Ashley and you deserve to see all the emotions she can capture!

Kaity Campbell Weddings & Events LLC

  • Planner
  • Offers 6 services
  • Starts at $50
  • Serves Hamden, CT for additional fees

With Kaity Campbell Events, you will have a truly luxurious customer experience from the moment you sign your contract all the way up to your event day, and even beyond. We believe that every wedding should be a reflection of your unique love story, and we are here to ensure that every detail is perfectly tailored to your desires. Our passion for creating unforgettable experiences, combined with our industry expertise, allows us to curate a seamless and stress-free wedding day that exceeds your expectations. Being able to create an event that is truly yours, and has all the elements you care about, is why I started doing what I do.

Kaity did a great job, especially considering all the uncertainty of bad weather (my ceremony was outdoors) we had to all deal with. She always had an upbeat and positive attitude the whole time, which I know can be very difficult to do around my family. She definitely would just roll with all the punches to keep us on track. I was anxious the entire day, but Kaity reassured me that she had everything under control and I knew I could trust her. She even went out of her way to get me and my husband little care packages on the day of, with inspiring notes. The only hiccups I actually noticed was with announcements and speeches, because the volume and echo was not great, so people didn't know when things were actually happening, so I wish we could've told the DJ sooner to fix the issue. We had also wanted to have our dinners boxed up, because my husband and I were both too anxious and excited to really eat, so our food ended up being thrown away, plus we didn't receive the top tier of our wedding cake to save for the tradition thing (but my guess is because they served it all to the guests). Unfortunately, at the end of the night, we were super rushed to get everything out of the building, because of the time and the pouring rain- I was running around barefoot in my dress while my husband was passed out in the car, and I was one of the few trying to get everything packed and cleaned up. However, Kaity and her husband really helped us out by collecting all the left items and holding onto them for us until the next day. She kept in contact, since at least a month beforehand, to make sure we had everything in order and sent her all the vendor contacts , so she could be included with all the day-of plans. She really did go above and beyond to make sure I had the best day possible, and I really appreciated that from her. I would definitely hire her again.

They also captured the raw joy of our rooftop reception later that evening. One shot, taken from above through a skylight, shows us dancing surrounded by our chosen family, the city lights glowing in the background.

Hey there! Katie here. I'm a scenic artist for theater by day and a videographer by night(s and weekends)! Keepsakes by Katie originally started as a nameless passion project to film a home-movie-style cross-country road trip with friends back in 2017. I found myself most interested in filming my friends as they were, and that's the same approach I've taken to my wedding films - candid storytelling, capturing real moments of your day in real time.

Katie did an excellent job on our wedding video. It highlighted all of the important features of our wedding and we love reliving the day when we watch it. It also captured everything perfectly to share with my grandmother who couldn’t attend the wedding. I highly recommend Katie for a wedding videographer as she was very professional and is very talented!

Now that’s out the way, I'm Jovan Kiah, specializing in wedding and portrait photography located somewhere in the cornfields of Indiana. But always prepared for a photography adventure, I’m already packed with a suitcase of snacks, my passport, & playlist that spans from Disney musicals to '90s R&B hits.

Jovan was such a pleasure to work with. Me and my partner often find it hard to really connect and feel comfortable in front of the camera yet she made us feel right at home. Would 100% recommend and do plan on working with her again in the future.

As a natural light photographer, I have a deep love for capturing the most beautiful moments that life presents. My passion lies in preserving these precious memories through my lens. I strive to showcase the magic and authenticity found in everyday moments. Through my photography, I aim to create images that inspire and evoke emotions in those who view them.

Lisa was hands down one of my top vendors for my September 2024 wedding. Ultimately when booking vendors we had two non- negotiables- affordability and character. I met with several photographers before her and either their pricing was not within our range or I didn’t feel any “connection” with them. When I met Lisa over FaceTime I was in Target with my two toddlers because I had my schedule mixed up. She laughed about it and we were able to have a productive meeting despite the mix up. I hired Lisa not long after and I am so glad I did. Besides from being a phenomenal photographer, her personality is what put the cherry on top. She is detail oriented and assertive - like myself- and had a very efficient way of photographing our bridal party where we were even able to enjoy our cocktail hour without having a first look. She was excellent and extremely patient with our two kids. Our family loved her as did we! We were even able to get her out on the dance floor for a bit! We wish we didn’t live so far away otherwise we would be using her as our photographer a whole lot. Thank you Lisa for being such an important part of our day and for having such an incredible heart.

Jackie at Petallion Floral was the absolute best choice we could have picked to do the flowers for our wedding. Flowers are very important to both me and my husband since both of our names contain flowers and as a special symbol throughout both our lives before we met and together. From the very beginning, I had a good feeling about Jackie because I could tell she really cared about our vision, even before we had confirmed her services, we had gone back and forth a bunch of times and she offered up some lovely ideas. She was very reachable, flexible and attentive and we had a super helpful meeting in person to go over all our ideas, she stayed longer just to make sure we were all on the same page and she knew what we wanted. She went the extra mile to make sure some specific ethnic flowers we asked for were on the arrangement menu! On our wedding day, she made everything go smoothly and the flowers looked BEAUTIFUL!! We got several compliments about how gorgeous they looked and our ceremony arch looked spectacular, as did my bridal bouquet and our reception table arrangements. We couldn't have asked for a better florist, aside from being a genuinely kind hearted woman and pleasant to work with, she worked with us to stay within our budget and did not gouge us like so many others in the business. Whoever else you are considering for your floral needs, do yourself a favor and pick Jackie. She is the hands down BEST!!!

Hi! I am a Rhode Island Wedding Photographer with a passion for capturing candid images that tell the story of your big day.

I thrive on getting to know my clients so I can implement their vision to its highest potential, ensuring a comfortable and collaborative environment, and delivering results that exceed expectations. This experience is all about YOU! I just get the pleasure of being along for the ride.

Mallory was incredible! She rearranged my timeline when we were running late and still fit in pics with everyone important. She was helpful and responsive to my needs. She even took my dog to pee when nobody else was available and I was having trouble waking in my dress. She was fun to have at the wedding and had great prompts and energy that helped us get beautiful photos. Her editing style is so cool and helped bring my vision and vibe to life. She sent sneak peeks later in the night after my wedding and they are all stunning. I’m so happy we booked her for our fall wedding.

She brainstormed ideas with me, understood the vision I had for my pictures, and helped me feel at ease the day of. My wedding happened to occur during a northeastern, which caused a lot of anxiety on my end. She continually stayed connected with me the week leading up to my wedding, during the storm, and reassured me that we would make the pictures happen.

My passion for makeup and hair artistry was visible since a very young age. At 16 years old, I entered my first creative competition and placed top 3 for all of Long Island, New York. After years of pursuing hair/makeup as a hobby, I wanted to take my craft to a professional level and wound up at the London AOFM. The journey from NY to London gave me an entirely different perspective of the beauty industry. While learning from top artists from around the world, I honed in on and advanced my technique. I am now a freelance artist working in Bridal and with the Photo Studio Group specializing in modeling portfolios.

I bought my first DSLR camera in 2004 when my now wife, Tracey, and I were taking a cruise to Alaska. For a monumental trip like this, I HAD to get an amazing camera. Those 8.2 megapixels with nine four points had me in LOVE. Ever since then, the ability of a photograph to be able to freeze time; freeze an emotion; freeze a memory has kept me addicted. Whether it’s getting a great angle, finding light that tells the story, or capturing the true personality of someone; it all brings a smile to my face and hopefully yours!

Chis is the absolute best, he captured the beauty and emotions of our Wedding Day and truly helped to make it our dream day! Chris was amazing from the first introduction meeting, to the engagement session, prepping for the big day, spending the entire wedding day with him and his team by your side, and even after when picking prints and album options. Chris became one of our favorite people! He and my husband are practically besties at this point! His patience and guidance is so helpful throughout the process. He’s incredibly professional and communicative, and the work he provides is absolutely immaculate. Even with timeline conflicts he adapted and worked with our coordinator to adjust accordingly while giving us the time and stress free environment to enjoy our day. It absolutely poured rain on our day and they captured the beauty of a less than ideal scenario. He gave us nearly 2,000 edited and finished photos from our engagement session and our 9-hour wedding day. They’re all absolutely stunning!! It makes it difficult to narrow it down for the wedding album, but he does provide the option for a curator to build you album if you just can’t decide!
