Awarded Best of Zola
I had been seeing Ashley regularly to help with my skin when I got engaged and started planning my wedding. I said my 17 year old cousin would be doing my makeup because I simply was overwhelmed with decision making. Ashley said absolutely not, immediately freed her schedule for my wedding date and did not stop helping me along the way. Booking Ashley was more than just a day of service, she is an incredible business woman, is very organized, and genuinely cares about all her clients. Ashely’s talent and skill are impeccable and I felt absolutely stunning on my wedding day thanks to her and her wonderful team!

Awarded Best of Zola
Joey G is like my cool uncle except he’s got sick DJ skills. He did our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Not only was he professional and organized, but he also brought an incredible energy to our wedding. For the ceremony and cocktail hour, we provided him with a specific music selection, and even though we never rehearsed together, he nailed it perfectly. During the reception, we gave him a playlist, and he struck the perfect balance between sticking to our choices and reading the crowd to keep everyone dancing. One highlight was when Joey G handed the microphone to people in the crowd, turning our reception into an impromptu karaoke party. It was a blast! He was not only fun and engaging but also very attentive to our needs. He asked how to pronounce each name correctly for the toasts, ensuring everything went smoothly. We requested that he not take song requests, and he respected our wishes completely. The sound quality was stellar, and his equipment setup was flawless. Joey G understood our need for clean music as we had many families with young children attending, yet he still kept the atmosphere lively and fun. The dance floor was packed with all 150 guests! Joey G was also a great help with announcements, coordinating toasts, and working with friends and family to announce the newlyweds and photo groups. His flexibility and attention to detail were impressive. Overall, I highly recommend Joey G to any couple looking for an awesome wedding DJ. He provided a questionnaire that made the whole planning process so easy, and his execution was simply fantastic. Joey G truly made our wedding day unforgettable!

Bill was absolutely amazing!! I explained to him concerns I had that I had seen with my sister and her DJ where there was a lack of communication. He assured me we will have communication throughout the entire process. We kept in constant contact by email, had a phone call and did a zoom meeting. Even at the part where we were waiting outside to get called in for our introductions after the ceremony and photos he was waiting out there for us. He made sure we were all on the same page and what to expect and where he would like our party to stand while my husband and I danced. It started to rain pretty hard while he was doing this and people kept telling him to hurry up and get us inside. He did not listen to them and kept it at the pace we wanted it as we were having the best time standing in the rain, cooling down, and it was exactly what we needed before we were called in for our introduction and first dance and he knew we were having a great time in the rain. Bill went above and beyond and was more than happy to accommodate any last minute requests we had, even on the day of our wedding.

They helped keep everything on track, helped ensure all of my photography wants & needs got done, and even helped to stay and clean up EVERYTHING at the end of the night.

Have it your way! That is my philosophy. There are so many different tastes and styles to accommodate, so I work extra hard to make your day exactly how you want it. What's the secret? I listen! I pay attention to each individual client and their own needs. I've been using this philosophy for years, and it has been working quite well! I am constantly learning more about my first love: Music! As a Master of Ceremonies, the philosophy is the same. I never say too much, it is not about me! It's about the client, and I never want to outshine or take any of their attention away.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Graeme as our wedding DJ for our big day, and it was one of the best decisions I ever made! In all seriousness, the best vibe curator we could have asked for. He was extremely easy to work with, is very experienced, organized, personable and makes everyone feel special. Most importantly, Graeme is fun! He realizes the importance of weddings, despite how many he's done - and he took extra care in making ours special, memorable and personalized. There is no doubt he knows what he's doing, and he makes sure everyone is happy and having a great time. Not only does he take care of absolutely everything - he goes FAR above and beyond. We had my now sister-in-law and her husband sing our first dance song (they traveled from out of town) and Graeme was able to arrange a guitar to make it extra special and perfect - convenience for everyone! I also didn't know what my first dance song would be with my dad, because my dad was adamant about surprising me and ended up creating a "mash-up" of special songs from my childhood, and was only able to do this because of Graeme and his willingness to go above and beyond (and the "mash-up" was under 2 minutes, which I am SURE Graeme also helped direct ;) ) - Our wedding day simply would not have been the same without him. If you are looking for a DJ for your wedding, look NO further. From before the ceremony to "shutting the place down" he managed it flawlessly every step of the way and we are so thankful for him. Weeks later we're still getting comments on how great our DJ was - I would recommend him over and over again if I could. Thank you Graeme!!

Alex and his team went above and beyond for our wedding back in September. They were nothing short of amazing. They did 3 setups throughout the entire venue and never missed a beat! Professional and personable, we will be booking Alex for any of our DJ needs in the future! -Cory & Nacime

Lover of those in-betweens, laughter, and timeless moments. I’m here for it all! Let me help you capture them! Whenever you look back at your images I want you to remember the experience – the way he almost dropped you in that one photo because you were laughing that hard – or the time they gave you rapid-fire kisses up the side of your cheek. Basically – let me third wheel you and capture all the love you have for each other.

If you’re looking for a photographer look no more. Tati is the one for you! She took our engagement photos and brought my vision to life. Communication is a 10/10, responds almost immediately and is such a nice person. She created a folder solely for our session, and used the inspo pics to pose us and really get the essence of our vibe. Super cool person to work with. Very friendly, and very professional. As for the turn around time, we received a few of our save the date pictures the day after!! Super fast compared to other photographers. Also included some drone pictures, which were some of the best shots. I definitely recommend to anyone. If I wasn’t having a destination wedding, Tati would be my photographer. Highly suggest booking this vendor.

Get in touch if you are in search of an artist with great instincts who can encapsulate your day authentically, reflecting the spontaneity of the moment. I focus on four offerings: Digital raw footage only (colored and assembled) / Digital 3-6 min films / Super 8 films / Digital 40-70 minute films. Happy to travel for an aligned vision. Love all love.

We are so thankful for Amanda’s attention to detail, kindness, and beautiful video storytelling. She was with us to document our entire wedding day, and provided a ceremony edit & raw footage a couple months later. I’d highly recommend Amanda if you are looking for a videographer who genuinely wants to help create something beautiful for your special day! Thank you, Amanda!!!

Situated out of Providence, Rhode Island, R&I Photography is a wedding photography company. Owners, Rebecca and Ilia specialize in providing candid, natural, and artistic photography while helping couples to relax and have fun in front of the camera. Every couple's love is unique and wonderful, and this team wants to give them a collection and an experience they'll remember and cherish forever.

Rebecca and Ilia were so amazing every step of the way. Prior to even signing a contract, they called us to discuss their editing style, different packages offered, and what we were looking for. Every step of the way when planning they were accessible by phone or text and were extremely helpful. They encouraged us to make a list of must have photos on the day of the wedding. Once they received it they called us to follow up and help us create a timeline for the wedding day. The day of the wedding they captured every single moment without making us feel like we were missing out on the day for photos. As the day got busy, they made sure we stayed on track and on time so we could get photos of everything we wanted. The attention to detail was amazing. I cannot recommend them enough!
