Look no further, you should absolutely hire DeeJay Mot as your wedding DJ/MC. I have the opportunity to work with him as a client and as a vendor. I not only trust him for our clients but also for my personal events. As a recent bride, DeeJay Mot had us on the dance floor from the start of the party to the END! We never took a break because the music and vibe was great. I still get comments and compliments from friends and family on how great our DJ was. As a Wedding Planner and Designer we do a lot of weddings with him and it’s always a professional, fun, organized, energetic experience. He is part of our highly vetted preferred vendor list that we share with our clients. Leading to the event, he takes the time to get to know his clients, and pays close attention to the vibe that they want for their wedding/event. On the day of he is always ON TIME, his set up is usually done early enough so when guest arrives he’s ready to go. And when it is time for him to DJ he brings the ENERGY!! Everyone including (grandma) will be on the dance floor. As a recent bride and vendor I highly recommend Deejay Mot. You will not regret it!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring AMP was the all time BEST decision we could have made for our wedding! We had immediate comfort and trust in them from the first time we spoke, and the show they put on for our day was better than we ever could have imagined. They were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the whole process of planning and had no problem with even the most far-fetched ideas (including my wife surprising me by getting up and playing the drums with the band). If we asked each and every person what their favorite part of our wedding was, hands down it was the music. Ana, Jimmy, and the rest of the band had everyone dancing the entire night without question. It was hit after hit after hit with the whole crowd! So many people rushed to us to ask how we got so lucky finding them. Ana and Jimmy truly respected and acknowledged everyone’s pronouns and made everyone in our family and party seen and comfortable through the entire process. AMP put their entire heart and soul into every performance. Their passion is so evident with each song they play, and their energy is just contagious. You cannot help but smile and dance throughout their whole set. And the TALENT! The talent is through the roof! All of our guests were completely shocked at the level of professionalism and talent AMP brought to our event. I cannot stress enough how utterly amazing AMP is. Do yourself a huge favor and book them, you will not regret it for a second.

  • Starts at $1,795
  • Serves Hamden, CT for additional fees

Founder Robert Frannicola created Ultimate Entertainment ft. RF LLC in 1999. His concept was to raise the bar in service and performance in the mobile entertainment market. When it comes to weddings, nothing is too large or too small.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you are considering using Ultimate Entertainment for your wedding, book them RIGHT NOW! My husband and I went to a wedding (before we were even engaged) and I said if we got married, this would be my first phone call. Sure enough, as soon as we had our venue booked we called Rob. Rob doesn’t just come to your wedding, Rob IS your wedding. I can’t count how many people said they’ve never seen such a fun wedding DJ team or how many people said they never dance at weddings, but they got up & danced at ours. Rob’s energy set the vibe not only for the whole reception, but for the entire planning process. We had a Christmas themed wedding (12/22) and Rob took that idea and ran with it. It felt like one big Christmas party and we couldn’t have been happier. His team also made the whole planning process so easy—they answered emails quickly, and they were always all so friendly. We also used them for our photo booth and it was great—we ended up forgetting to put out our guest book, so the photo booth scrapbook was a lifesaver. We can’t say enough good things about UE—if you need a team for your event, look no further, you won’t find better.

Originally a house party/lounge/club DJ, I perform at select weddings in New England, Connecticut, and beyond. My emceeing style is pretty low-key and I typically like to let the music do the talking.

Mickey Grouse was an amazing DJ for our wedding. From the very first interaction, he was easy to communicate with, accommodating to our needs, and open to our ideas. Mickey’s demeanor and execution on the day of the wedding was genuinely impressive - he didn't interject himself at all and made it clear the day was for us and about us. Mickey was punctual, easy going, and absolutely crushed it. He kept our guests entertained and engaged all night long. The value he provided was incredible, and we couldn't have asked for a more flexible and genuine vendor to work with. Highly recommend Mickey Grouse for any wedding!

Zarnab Virk Photography

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Hamden, CT for additional fees

Specializing in editorial portraits and fine art photography, I strive to convey the essence of human experiences, evoking genuine emotions and telling captivating stories with a unique artistic style. Combining my background in psychology and photography, I strive to connect with my subjects and capture their authentic emotions. It is my mission to create photographs that tell stories and resonate with viewers, evoking a sense of nostalgia, wonder, and inspiration.

I previously worked with Zarnab as a second shooter at a wedding. As an experienced photographer myself, I know that it's not just about clicking pictures; it's about weaving narratives, immortalizing emotions, and encapsulating love in its purest form. Through a blend of skillful photography and subtle direction, we were together able to document the essence of the couple's relationship in its purest form. However, post-production was where the magic truly unfolded. With meticulous attention to detail, Zarnab enhanced each image, preserving the authenticity of the moment while elevating its visual impact. The final gallery was a testament to the couple's love story—raw, genuine, and utterly captivating. Working with Zarnab was an absolute pleasure, and I'm grateful to have played a part in capturing such beautiful moments together.

Hey there! My name is Victoria and what I love the most is helping people plan their special events and taking on the heavy organizational burden, so they can focus on enjoying their day. Whether it's a wedding, a birthday, or a holiday party, I'm passionate about creating an experience that is tailored to each client's unique needs and preferences.

New England wedding photographer obsessed with love & adventure. If you’re looking for a documentary-style photographer & breathtaking candid photos of every moment, I’m your gal.

I will absolutely be on the dance floor for your favorite song, and may shed a tear as you confess your love to one another in your vows. I’m a sucker for rom coms, and every wedding I attend feels like a real life fairytale.

Hello beautiful people! My name is Jocelyn and I have been a makeup artist for over 8 years, pursuing this full time the last 3! I have loved makeup my entire life and my love has just grown as I have gotten older. Communication and trust with my clients is extremely important to me! I always make sure we have time to talk about exactly what kind of look you are looking for. I look forward to welcoming you to my chair!

Jocelyn was an absolute delight to work with for my wedding day makeup. Her communication style was speedy, personal, and energetic - she always responded quickly to any questions I had and made me feel like an individual, not just another client. The quality and value of her work was amazing. She didn't use a one-size-fits-all approach but really tailored the look to me. When she was done I truly felt beautiful, confident, and ready to walk down the aisle. On the day itself Jocelyn arrived right on time and came bearing a lovely gift, which was so thoughtful. She worked efficiently and professionally to make sure my makeup was perfect before zipping off to her next appointment. I couldn't recommend Jocelyn more highly for any bride looking for a talented, responsive, and thoughtful makeup artist for her special day!

My fiance and I knew exactly what we were looking for with wedding pictures. Tabitha's style and effortless talent when it comes to taking pictures was what drew us to working with her. We worked with Tabitha both for engagement pictures and wedding pictures. We've had so many friends and family tell us that the pictures look like artwork or look like they belong in a magazine. Throughout the wedding planning process, Tabitha was one of our favorite vendors to work with. She was on top of communication, she was professional and efficient with planning, and she took so much of the stress off of our shoulders. On the day of the wedding, so many of our friends and family told me how incredible of a photographer Tabitha was. They couldn't believe how quickly and efficiently she got through family pictures and wedding party pictures (in insane heat!!!!). She was clear and concise when giving direction to wedding party members and she made the entire process FUN and EASY on all of us. I really can't say enough great things about our entire experience with Tabitha!

You know those first few months that you fall in love & everything is so wonderful & terrifying & just so damn GOOD? It's that “new love” feeling & I’ve never been able to replicate that feeling with anything else, except photography. Your wedding day tells the story of your love. From that “new love” to the more comfortable kind, it is the culmination of all those moments leading up to “I do.” I consider myself the narrator of that day, telling that story and documenting your connection through my photographs.

Jenny is an absolutely wonderful person and amazing photographer. So kind, friendly, organized and talented. She is a pleasure to work with always. She listens to your needs, guides you through the process, and delivers work that showcases all of the love and fun of your day.

My "why" sits with the reason why we document moments in the first place—to feel fleeting moments again. I strive to photograph your day in such a way that when you and your loved ones look back on that day, you can FEEL it unfold all over again. Photographs are our family heirlooms, keepsakes, and the greatest gift to our story. The older I get, the more I see the true value in a photograph that captures the deeply authentic love that brought two people together. Wedding photography is about a collection of moments, and I set out to capture each and every one of them.

If you are looking for your photographer to create beautiful, fine art images that you can look back on years to come and remember how you felt just by looking at a picture, I think we're a perfect fit! I'm here for the relationships and memories that matter and to capture all of your real moments that make your life so amazing! Working with me is knowing your final product speaks to who you are as a couple (as well as gaining a friend for life). I'm not just your wedding photographer..I'm your forever photographer! Ready for your next step? Check out our packages and message me to chat and start planning!

Rachel and her team made our stressful and busy day absolutely wonderful, and now that we have our photos back, there is no denying that they were THE standout of all of those that we booked! The only thing that I would change is that she now has a new addition of a content creator that I have no doubt would be amazing! Our package included film and polaroids and Super 8 for Wedding Day and the night before. From a boudoir session in her amazing studio, a Welcome Dinner on a sailboat, different getting ready locations and all around our venue, each part was unique! Getting ready, first touch, the ceremony, cocktail hour, portraits, reception, and golden hour each have a unique different focus, which I absolutely love. The polaroids were an amazing touch, and the different types of film were such a vibe! I could not ask for more to have captured our memories and make them feel timeless! Of all of the research I had attempted to do to look for a photographer, Rachel was perfect and surpassed expectations! She and her team were flexible, experienced, professional, and have tremendous range. It was so evident that they put in work before the events to know what we were looking for. She even has great recommendations for other vendors and her connections show how well respected she is. Rachel also has a wonderful personality that seems to click with anyone. Rachel was wonderful to work with from the start. She had clear and consistent communication and it’s obvious that she is professional that loves what she does, and through our multiple sessions I had no doubt that she had our best interest in mind and was happy to be behind the camera and supporting us. The team was constantly multi-tasking, aware of what was going on, caused no concerns for us, but also always seemed to be in the right place at the right moment. She and her team were more than familiar with our timeline, what we wanted most out of the day, and needed no reminders, and as things will inevitably happen, they were quick to adjust with a smile. Time goes by so quickly during the events, and she and her team were always prepared and making what we had hoped and planned for happen! After our initial inquiry, Rachel responded quickly and we scheduled a video call, during which she was super engaged and attentive! We could tell that she really listened to what we shared we were looking for and seemed genuinely excited for what we were planning and happy to be a part of it. Her service guide and contract were clear and so were expectations. My husband and I could tell from the start that she not only had a great eye but had the business part of what she does down as well. There wasn’t a single instance during the period of time we worked together that I had doubts or felt on edge about our decision to go with her or that the end product from her team would be lacking. She checked in often and asked for a detailed questionnaire and mood board not only as a part of the inquiry, but also closer to the day which I loved as over months and months of planning things do shift and change. They did a great job of capturing candid moments and getting group shots. They were somehow able to let us enjoy the experience but also get those specific shots we’d requested. They were able to make each part of the day fun, memorable, and unique. We are so happy to say that we have traditional family portraits, candid, and even photos that look editorial!

Kelton from Marquee Artists is awesome - he killed it dj-ing for the clients, the dance floor was non-stop going nuts the whole time! His demeanor is super low-key and easy going, and he was very easy to work with, which means a lot in this field. Weddings have lots of moving parts and can be chaotic, but having vendors that are kind and willing to work as a team makes the day go a whole lot smoother. The couple had lots of requests for songs in completely different genres, but he managed to keep the party going with no awkward pauses and seamless transitions. I highly recommend hiring him if you want someone that's going to work well with everyone and make sure to light the dance floor on fire!

I have been coordinating events for 5+ years and fell in love with the methodical creation that comes from planning each different event. Each event is different and has it's own challenges which makes the entire process that much more exciting.

Audrei from Luxury Affairs was so helpful for our Day of Coordination on our wedding. She was flexible, communicative, and seemed to be everywhere we needed her to be! Audrei is very efficient and was able to be the eyes and ears that I couldn't be day of. She kept the whole day running smoothly and we are so appreciative! Thanks Audrei for making our wedding day perfect.

Nina McCandless is an events professional with more than 18 years experience executing exquisite, gorgeous, memorable events all over the world. Obsessed with the details and in pursuit of achieving an indelible finish, she's worked with brides, elopers, corporate clients, HNIs and well-known brands like Coach, Fendi, NBC Universal, and Glamor Magazine, to name a few. Since 2019, this talented and zen planner has branched out fully into the wedding industry and loves working with couples to create a magical wedding celebrations, and planning unforgettable honeymoons.

Initially I intended to plan all of my wedding on my own - and in many ways I did. We were married at the Customs House in Portland, a venue that is a blankslate venue. As I neared the day however, I began to worry that there were aspects of the planning that I overlooked. I hired The Cosmos at their Month-of package level taking all of that worry out of the process. They took care of all of the things I did miss - called out that there was no plan for trash receptacles, revised the number of glasses rented, added bathroom attendants, adjusted the number of staff etc, but an unexpected element (and maybe the most important) is that they helped me to manage difficult family members. They figured out that this is where a lot of my stress was coming from. I was so grateful to their team for minimizing overall stress. I highly recommend!

Hi there! We're a husband and wife photography team that loves capturing genuine emotion and real moments at your wedding. We believe that there's magic in everything, and our goal as your storytellers is to capture that magic in a way that's honest and true to who you are. We focus on the unique elements that tell the tale of your day, so your final wedding gallery has a timeless storybook feel.

Jaime & Eddie were the photography duo of our dreams. Their balance of artistry and realism comes together to make the most beautiful images that capture the joy and emotion of our day, while still hitting on all the major “bridal” points. From the beginning, Jaime and Eddie vibed so well with us, really taking our vision for engagement photos to the next level (even driving us around Boston in their car to find hidden gems). They took the lead on ensuring our wedding timeline was well rounded and encompassed everything we wanted to do for the day (even taking the curve ball of a boat ride in the middle of cocktail hour in stride). Although they had never shot our venue before, they drove over on their own time ahead of the weekend to walk around the property - truly going the unnecessary extra mile. The results of their calm and professional, yet fun and lighthearted nature are incredibly beautiful. A mere day or two after our wedding, we had dozens of stunning sneak peeks to look through and share. A month later, we are still getting compliments on how amazing they were in person and how beautiful the finished product is. Could not recommend them more!

My passion for floristry began at a young age alongside the caring guidance of my grandmother. To me, flowers tell a story of family, about who we are and where we come from. Today, Bluebird Bouquets shares these meaningful moments with others through thoughtfully crafted floral pieces for life's special moments.

I can’t even begin to express how amazing Hayley was to work with. From day one her communication was wonderful! Any questions or additional florals I needed (which was a lot) she replied in a very timely manner and with upmost care, never making me feel like I was a bother. Now onto the florals. I will not shut up about them to whoever I talk to about my wedding. They were beyond stunning. My favorite part of my wedding besides you know… marrying my husband. Was the floral arrangements!! The flowers were all fresh and considering I ordered some flowers that were out of season was an impressive feat to have all them so beautiful. The way she opened up the roses was also amazing. My husband’s Aunt did events and floral arrangements for years and wouldn’t stop raving about the flowers as well. Hayley went above and beyond. I cannot recommend her enough, you will not be disappointed.

The quality of her work was beautiful, graceful, and perfect. Kat sent demos and joined meetings to fully understand our expectations, and she executed the music flawlessly on the day. We would 100% book her again for any future events.
