  • Serves Portland, CT

It's very simple: Funk+Fun+Your Fav Jams=Best Party Ever! Vitamin M was created to fill a void - offering thoughtful music for our clients who want to feel the exhilaration of having an incredible live band at their event but also the emotional connection of all their favorite music that their friends and family can enjoy together. Vitamin m is for those that want the organic and spontaneous vibe that only a group of great live musicians can supply for an event. Our world class band performances create unforgettable moments of joy and memories and a dance floor filled with celebration.

Awarded Best of Zola
Let’s start with “WOW!” We had a music festival themed wedding with four bands so music was a critical piece of our wedding weekend and the standards were high. We interviewed over 20 bands from the NYC area and decided to go with Vitamin M after really vibing with their band leader, JJ. And boy are we glad we did! JJ worked with us to curate the perfect performance for us and our guests. He was able to balance dance songs and classics alongside some custom requests that went off the beaten path of most traditional weddings from the likes of The Band, Talking Heads and The Clash. He even helped us surprise our guests with a singing introduction of the bride and groom. He took time to get to know us and was always happy to answer any questions we had. This was not a cookie cutter wedding band performance. This is a group of truly talented professional musicians putting on a real show. Our guests and even our vendors are still telling us today, months later, that this was the best wedding band that they’ve ever seen. We are extremely happy with our decision to hire Vitamin M for our wedding. No diggity, no doubt.

Hey hi, I am Vital (pronounced as Vee-tal), and I am your most chill wedding guest with a few cameras around my neck and a cheerful smile. I have been a wedding photographer since 2016, and every year I fall in love with my job more and more. My wife and I have a dog and a cat.

Alpine climbing, backpacking, and road-tripping are among my favorite activities too. There is more to my life story on my website :)

Two Upper West Siders. Twenty blocks apart. How had we not crossed paths before? Or did we? Well, after finally matching on Hinge we made that happen and the rest is history! We have combined families and now as a family of 7 (three dogs, two cats) we have become an unstoppable force. We both share the same passion for photography, capturing the beauty all around us and making magic happen. Our dog Lucy, embodies love, kindness and poise. We couldn’t imagine naming our business after anyone but her. That’s how Love, Lucy Photography came to be.

We worked with Bethany and Raquel for our 2023 wedding in August. Not only are they both super personable, they truly made us feel organized as well as made the entire picture process amazing (and fun) the day of. Our wedding gallery was delivered on time within the 2 week frame they provide and we got well over 1,000 photos. We had so much fun looking through our album! We could not have chosen a better team to work and we are so thrilled we trusted our big day with R&B. THANK YOU!

Wren

  • Florist
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Portland, CT

We started Wren, LLC with a mission of sharing the good things in life - joy, compassion, surprise, love - through the language of flowers. You have no idea how beautiful they can be, and what a difference flowers can make in the look and feel of your wedding. Working out of our studio in Bristol, RI, we service events throughout Rhode Island and the south coast of Massachusetts. Full-service weddings are our jam, we do a lot of them! We also enjoy working with couples on a-la-cart options, micro weddings and elopements. Whatever floats your boat, we are here to collaborate with you and bring your vision to life.

Planning a wedding is never simple, but after my initial phone conversation with Dani, flowers were the furthest aspect from my concern. Dani is amazing--So sweet, accommodating and an incredible florist! She made it easy to communicate my vision and worked with us through phone calls, emails and shared Pintrest boards. We were so excited to see what Dani would create for our special day... and then COVID happened. My husband and I ended up shifting gears and having a small backyard ceremony Although Dani wasn't available for our smaller ceremony [she had a baby!!] we knew we needed to get our hands on some Wren creations and share the beauty. We ended up ordering four Mother's Day arrangements from her, with the simple request of, "unique from one another" and man did she DELIVER. Each arrangement was gorgeous, so completely fresh and vibrant! The flowers perfectly fit the personalities of each woman, from my fierce sister, to my demure mother, each woman was in awe. Dani is a super-woman. If you are seeking a florist who is understanding, flexible and amazing at her job- look no further than Wren!

RS Moments

Our style is artistic and documentary, and can be described in three words; Sincere, Scenic, and Inspirational. Sincere, we will never ask you to act unnaturally in front of our camera; we will adjust to your personalities and photograph you as you are. Scenic, because we love beautiful landscapes and love to incorporate everyone in such environments. Inspirational, because there is always a new way or a new idea to capture a photo but in the end it's capturing that special moment.

RS Moments were the perfect wedding photographers for our special day. From the moment we first spoke with them, their communication style was considerate, kind, and unique. They truly understood the importance of capturing our day in a way that felt personal and special to us. Throughout the process, they were caring, understanding, and respectful, guiding us through different poses and angles to get the perfect shots. We loved how they incorporated unique elements like mirrors, umbrellas, and the beach to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind photos that perfectly complement our love. The results were absolutely stunning, and we are so grateful to have these memories preserved. We couldn't recommend RS Moments more highly!

Hi, my name is Juan, AKA Jay, I am a Western Massachusetts based photographer. I first began my interest in photography in grade school. While my teacher would conduct the class I would be interested in the images so I could make more of a connection. I was also dubbed the "family photographer" whenever there was a family function. I am more of a non-traditional photographer, meaning, I enjoy control candid photos vs traditional posing photos.

When I first started wedding photography, I made a goal of being more than just the photographer on your big day. I made it my goal to be your friend, someone you can crack inside jokes with, and someone who isn't afraid to get down + have fun at the reception (while still doing her job). I made it my goal to capture more than just photos, but an experience. Whether it’s high in the mountains, on a beach near the ocean, in a forest meadow - you deserve to get married however you want to & I want to capture it for you.

L & L Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding day. Lexi, one of the photographers, was incredibly effective and charismatic in her communication style, making the experience fun and easy. She was patient in answering all our questions and ensuring every moment was captured beautifully. The quality of their work is truly top tier, and their services are very affordable, making them a tremendous value. Lexi rocked every single moment, seamlessly blending into the celebration and creating absolute magic with her moody, romantic photography style. I've worked with many photographers, and Lexi is now my go-to - I cannot recommend L & L Photography highly enough.

Every moment is unique, every couple is unique. I get to capture my amazing couples and the moments that make them up in really stunning and interesting ways that tell their special story. I love what I do. I have this amazing profession of photographing moments and telling stories through the combined voice of my clients lives and my creative eye. But this is not about me. This is about you. This is about your story, your marriage and your amazing day, why it is unique to your personalities and where you are headed in life.

Wayne at LoveDays Photography is the best, no matter the metric. We used him for our backyard (COVID) wedding, our 1-year anniversary wedding, and our engagement photos in Boston and on the Cape. Wayne’s pictures are gorgeous - utilizing light in extremely unique ways - and extremely creative - utilizing everything marshes, to us lying in the parking lot (pictures turned out so great!), to us symmetrically spread out against a symmetrical building background. His pictures are really breathtaking, and we and our family and friends look back through them very frequently, and will continue to do so for the rest of our lives. If you want wedding pictures that are art, this is the photographer for you. Wayne is also extremely kind - both with his time and with his genuine interest in those he is photographing. He is funny and patient, even when other folks are stressed or late, and this makes him a master of the photography sessions, making calm and fun what can be very stressful. We highly recommend Wayne and look forward to using him for other events for years to come!

From NY to TX, then back again... I started my photography adventure 10 years ago in a small studio in upstate, New York. Since then, I've traveled across the country, taking pictures the entire time. I've captured a lifetime of memories in pictures, and now, I hope I can do the same for you! I specialize in weddings and portraiture, with experience in real estate photography as well! I love helping my customers make memories to cherish for years to come. When I'm not taking pictures, I am working as a nurse and dreaming of the days when I can put my toes in the sand with my nieces in Cape Cod.

Covergirl plays the hits you love in an unforgettable style! While specializing in Funk/Dance/R&B, Covergirl also covers Classic Rock, Alternative, Rock, and Motown. We love to put unique spins on classic and modern hits, with songs from the 60’s through today. With lights, sound system and engineer, we promise to keep the dance floor moving all night!

Most of our members are involved in the vibrant New Haven music scene in original bands, and a few members are passing on our passion for music along to shoreline kids through music education!

We cannot say enough about how much we loved Covergirl. They took so much time to sit with us and listen to our requests before the wedding and boy did they deliver. They played everything we asked for. They dressed up for our Super Mario theme and even learned new music for it. We had guests say they were the best wedding band they’ve ever heard. Absolutely incredible.

Hi friends! I'm a New England wedding and destination photographer based out of Connecticut. My faith is the foundation of everything apart of me. My family, friends, and my business. I wouldn’t be where I am today without God, and I pray that my clients can see the goodness of the Lord through every stage of working with me. I love hiking and finding a brewery afterward to grab a cider, strolling through a garden shop or bookstore, or catching a sunset down at the beach and having a picnic. I'm a Jesus- follower, wife to my best friend Justin, a mom to my son Jaxson, and dog mama to my girl Minnie.
