Omg where do I even begin??! Nicole is a master of her craft. I reached out in December 2022 for my May 5, 2024 wedding and I knew after our first phone call that she was the one I wanted designing my flowers and centerpieces. We instantly clicked and she knew exactly what I was envisioning and how to get us there. All throughout the process she kept me involved and was constantly making sure it’s what I wanted. Even though I knew what colors she was going with I was still left absolutely speechless when my bouquets were delivered to my hotel room the morning of. And when I walked into the venue and saw the centerpieces I was in awe. Like she blew it out of the water. Nicole is one of the most kind hearted, beautiful people I’ve met throughout my whole wedding planning process and even in my life and I’m beyond grateful for her. Thank you Nicole for making our wedding so special and memorable!!

Awarded Best of Zola
When I started planning my wedding, I had a general vision that I was going for, but did not have exact ideas on wedding florals. I knew was that I wanted my wedding to look timeless, sophisticated and organic. From my first meeting with Naomi, I knew she understood my vision. When I received the proposal, I was blown away that she took my ideas and made them even better than I imagined. She was creative with my vibe and budget, suggesting things like tall organic vessels around the ceremony versus a traditional arch and instead of just white flowers, suggested sophisticated neutrals. The day was that much more stunning because of Naomi's florals. They were truly art and my guests were raving about the design. I couldn't recommend N&V enough. Thank you so much again Naomi!

We used Shmayley's on 2 different occasions. First in August for my daughter's wedding! Smayley's was the bar for the wedding, the owner Hayley was Hands-On helping both prior to the wedding and, of course on the big day! She created two signature drinks (that were marvelous) that my daughter absolutely loved! Let me just say she made my daughter's day one she will never forget! In October we celebrated an anniversary in which we again hired Smayley's services for the bar, rolled ice cream and her wonderful photo booth options.

We had such an amazing day in Newport, RI getting ready in the Belle Mer bridal suite with Kaydee and Liz. Both ladies were AMAZING and made my bridesmaids and I all look our best for the wedding.

I sent Crystal this photo and I was a bit nervous at first about how they'd be able to make this happen but honestly I am so happy with how this came out it really was absolutely beautiful. I wasn't able to meet her in person with everything going on but she dropped it off for us on time and my coordinator was great in getting everything set up and presented. A few blueberries fell off during handling but considering how detailed and intricate the cake was I am so beyond thrilled at how this came out. I really don't often ask for perfection but with how this came out it's really right up there being perfect. If I find any better photos I will absolutely update this post with them. The venue itself was an absolute disaster but it was great having all those excessive blueberries everywhere it really made a mess and watching them clean it all up later was just fantastic. I'm not even sure if it's on their regular menu but I asked them to do a lemon cake with a blueberry compote inside (I have no idea what that means but my now wife had me asking for that) and the flavors and taste of the cake were just beyond extraordinary. They also made and brought a smaller mint chocolate cake to accommodate some allergies we had in the family and one bite my breath was smelling good all night! Thank you so much for everything I will definitely have you guys doing more in the future!

We could not recommend Flower Oak more! Mark and his team were incredible throughout the booking process and answered all of our questions in such a timely manner. We booked them 18 months before our wedding date and they continued to check in periodically to be sure we didn’t need anything. Prior to the wedding, they have you fill out a pdf with all important information, preferences, etc which they follow exactly! The day of, we had Jesse as our videographer, and he was wonderful! He was timely, kind, professional, and fit right in with our group. He traveled to multiple locations with us to capture all aspects of our day. He independently got with our photographers and DJ to ensure everything worked well together. We just got our films back (only 8 weeks from the wedding) and they are STUNNING! The highlight film reflects our day perfectly and the editing is just perfect. The documentary edit is a great way to relive the day from start to finish. Not to mention it is so fun and amazing to have access to all the raw footage; there are so many tiny clips that we have found and truly love all of them. The audio quality is top notch. As a team, Flower Oak is truly amazing. We couldn’t have imagined our day filmed in any other way and now we have it forever to remember! Highly recommend!

With a true-to-color, film-inspired approach, I strive to craft visuals that capture love, ​laughter, and those beautifully authentic moments that weave together the story of your ​wedding!

From the very beginning, Emma was incredibly professional, attentive, and truly passionate about capturing the essence of our love story. For our engagement session, she made us feel completely at ease and guided us with such a gentle touch, making the experience fun and natural. The photos turned out absolutely stunning, capturing the joy, excitement, and deep connection we share. When it came time for my bridal portraits, Emma exceeded all expectations. She understood how important these photos were to me, especially since I was wearing my late grandmother’s ring, which holds immense sentimental value. Emma managed to capture not only the beauty of the dress and the setting but also the emotions and memories tied to this moment. She has an incredible eye for detail and lighting, and the photos are a perfect blend of candid and posed shots that reflect our personalities and relationship beautifully. The final images are more than just pictures; they are timeless keepsakes that we will cherish forever. If you're looking for a photographer who is talented, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in telling your story through photos, look no further than Emma. We can't recommend her enough! Thank you, Emma, for capturing these special moments that we'll treasure for a lifetime!

We did a lot of research looking into different vendors to use for our various wedding needs. After locking down our photographer, I realized I wanted something a little less "typical" and something more "creative" for my video memories. I think that Andrew and his team hit a very happy middle-ground of artistic quality over corporate event-video, and the very expensive arthouse productions I got quotes from. Firstly, they arrived on early, which is on time, and wasted no time getting started. There was no downtime, and every minute they were on site was working to get us the best footage, shots, and coverage of our wedding. Beyond that, they got creative shots, angles, and used a different cameras from different perspectives. They were able to figure out how to get clean audio of the important speeches and readings. And to put it all together, they created an amazing 6 minute video of our event that we've been able to share with everyone. The editing is anything but standard faire, and shows an artistic care to our specific event, the words said, and how they juxtapose over the events details. Oh and while I thought the Drone shots were not necessary, I'm so happy they got them- they looked AWESOME. Some more technical things we loved about Instillwonder is that when I asked what equipment they used to shoot on, they actually answered me. The fact that they were shooting with mirrorless cameras, not typical DSLRs, and used gimbals for motion/stability put me at ease knowing that the footage wouldn't be static and would feel more alive. They also were the only company that would give me a discount (not charge extra) to be given my raw footage. This helped our budget greatly, and now (as a former video editor) I'm able to play with all the footage and have it saved forever. Overall, they were communicative, friendly, and attentive to my events needs. I can't recommend their work more, and am excited to see them give other couples the same wonderful experience we received.

Her work was organized, efficient, and creative. She brought my vision for the wedding to life perfectly, turning down no idea and executing even my most ambitious tasks with ease. Allison's attention to detail ensured everything ran smoothly despite some weather challenges. When a huge downpour and wind burst threatened to disrupt things, she worked swiftly behind the scenes to make it all look perfect again - as the bride, I barely even noticed! I appreciated her calm, capable presence on such a hectic day. If you're looking for a wedding planner who can juggle all the moving parts of your big event with grace, creativity, and care, I highly recommend Allison James Weddings.

Awarded Best of Zola
Doorbell Barbers did an incredible job on haircuts for both my husband and me, as well as our groomsmen. Our hair has never looked better! Christian was not only an amazing barber but also truly kind and understanding of our time constraints, even accommodating some last-minute changes without any hassle. His pricing was more than fair for the quality of work and level of professionalism. The whiskey and cigar treatment made our groomsmen happier then ever, and the mini-facials were something that truly helped calm the nerves on the big day! What really stood out was how compassionate and flexible Christian was when unexpected, and incredibly tragic, circumstances forced us to postpone our wedding for a year. He handled everything with such grace and made the rescheduling process stress-free during a very challenging time. We couldn’t have asked for better service or a more thoughtful experience. Thank you, Doorbell Barbers and Christian, for making our big day look and feel amazing. Highly recommend!

George was very kind and communicative from the start. He was very flexible in our desire to move to a second location during cocktail hour and made the most of our short time there. He focused on capturing all of the photos we asked for along with really amazing candid shots of guests. He delivered a large amount of photos in short time frame. We can't recommend him enough.

He really took time to scope out the locations, find hidden gems that we had never noticed, and capture moments that felt truly personal and beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with him - he put us at ease and was extremely efficient!
