Their communication style was quick, easy, and painless - they were always responsive to our questions and made sure we had a solid plan in place for our wedding day. They were passionate, dedicated, and paid incredible attention to detail when capturing all of the special moments we had planned for. They were great to work with, and we loved having a video chat with them a week before the wedding to go over the timeline and make sure everything was set.

Awarded Best of Zola
When I was looking for floral vendors for my July 2024 wedding in Block Island, I came across Ayla’s Instagram, and I knew immediately I had to work with her. I fell in love with the whimsical, natural, English-garden vibe of her florals, and I just thought she was the coolest person. From the first conversation we had, it felt like she “got” me, suggesting flowers, designs, and concepts better than I could possibly articulate myself. She was incredibly thoughtful putting together multiple proposals that fit our vision and our budget. The entire planning process couldn’t have been easier because of how sweet, communicative, and easy Ayla was to work with. Cut to the wedding day, and I was honestly speechless seeing her work come to life in our tent. Ayla is an ARTIST. She created a gorgeous 65 ft table runner for our head table that was so dreamy I still think about it. The bouquets were exactly what I was looking for - natural and simple but packed a stunning punch. Then there was the tent entrance installation, which was so beautiful on its own but also so thoughtfully designed to enhance the view and setting of our venue. Multiple guests came up to me on the wedding day (and even in the weeks afterwards) commenting on how the florals were some of the most unique and beautiful they had seen. I truly could go on and on. Ayla and her amazing team at shade studio exceeded every expectation a million times over. Hands down, Ayla is the best and I couldn’t recommend her more.

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.

I also had mentioned I had hoped to get a photo back in a shorter time frame to put on our wedding invitations - she ended up delivering our whole gallery early, and they were all so beautiful! The day of the wedding, they made us feel so comfortable and we had so much fun taking photos with them! Our "sneak peak" included a little taste of each part of the day, which is way more than I was expecting, and we could not be more thankful for them. I keep looking at them and just get more excited for our full gallery! Their editing style, and the moments they captured are exactly what I was hoping for with a wedding photographer.

We were over the moon with the floral arrangements and service from the Plant Girl Shop for our wedding! From our initial consultation, they were extremely responsive, detail-oriented, and honest when helping us create our vision. The final floral was simply breathtaking - it exceeded our expectations and brought our wedding dreams to life. Their arrangements perfectly complemented our venue and color palette. We received so many compliments from our guests and other vendors! The Plant Girl Shop's work is incredible, especially considering their reasonable prices. We felt they provided amazing value. Throughout the entire planning process, they were a dream to work with - extremely thorough in nailing down all the details and checking in regularly as the big day approached. We'd give them more than 5 stars if we could. Any couple would be lucky to have the Plant Girl Shop create the floral arrangements for their special day. We'd recommend them in a heartbeat and will certainly be using them again in the future!

My name is Shelby Simone and I hope to get to know you as we come together for your family's big moments. I am a mom of 3 based in Rhode Island. I photograph weddings and family sessions throughout New England but travel nationally and internationally. I love what photography provides - memories. Photos help you remember the moment you said, "I do", those tiny newborn feet, and how much your child loved their first visit to the beach. I would be thrilled to help you and your growing family capture those moments that you will remember forever!

We worked with Shelby for our engagement photos and wedding in March 2020. Not only was she professional and timely with everything, but she’s also just an amazing human. Kind, loving and warm to everyone, she made us feel right at home and comfortable from the second we met her! We recommend her to all our friends getting married!

Everyone knows that on your wedding day you will not enjoy it the same way that your guest will, so it’s important to choose photographers that you would actually want to be around! Jamal and Lashana are those people! My husband and I absolutely loved working with them, so much so we did not want them to leave at the end of the night. They are extremely professional but have a way of making you feel like friends/family. Our close family and friends are absolutely freaking out about how our sneak peak photos turned out, and can’t wait to see the rest! They are worth every penny plus some. Thanks to these two, both my husband and I had the best wedding day ever! We will be going back to them for future family photos and referring everyone we know to them! Thank you guys for everything

Hugest hugs and thank yous for all you did for our wedding. We could not be more appreciative that you were there with us. We both absolutely loved the way you handled everything on the day and talked about it many times. Your presence was joyful and calming and fit right in. You have a natural intuitive sense of where to be and how, which we really noticed and appreciated. Dave made a comment about how the best cinematographers have a quality that is hard to describe but that has to do with connection to others, reading situations, and holding space…Not to mention how great your patience and help was with all the logistical items that we were too overwhelmed to be on top of ourselves!! We planned to plug in the drives and quickly click through the footage yesterday to make sure it all worked ok technically, but we ended up spending an hour and a half glued to the screen in tears!! We are both over the moon with your work, it’s exactly what we wanted. It’s hard to believe our luck with getting you on board. All this to say — thank you!!!!

DJ Alex Brown has over a decade of experience providing dance floor filling DJ and MC services for weddings and events. He offers a full range of standard services for weddings such as uplighting, custom monogram, ceremony and cocktail music, and more.

Alex DJ'd our wedding on 09/10 at Bonnet Shores. He handled the sound system on the beach for the ceremony and the reception. Alex was spot-on day-of, getting all the sound right, music selection, lights, etc. He also had experience working with many of the other vendors we hired, and so he worked directly with them to coordinate. Biggest thing though was his flexibility with adding and adjusting the contract in the lead-up, and providing recommendations for music, lighting, and set-up. Alex is truly passionate about his profession, and I'd highly recommend working with him for any occasion where you need an experienced DJ.

Allison Barrett Photography specializes in wedding-day beauty in Newport, Rhode Island and all over New England. Couples can have their special day captured in beautiful imagery that tells the story of their day. This pro doesn't just snap images to reminisce upon, she creates a photography experience that becomes part of the memory. Working with the happy couple, wedding parties, and guests, Allison creates an album full of joy and genuine smiles. A helping hand on the day, this wedding-frequenter will also help keep everything on track throughout the day. Please visit my website if you are interested in scheduling a consultation!

My photographer was the vendor I cared most about - I love photos, and you are going to have these wedding photos capturing those once in a lifetime moments forever! Initially I was nervous to go with Allison because I did not know anybody personally who had used her, but I loved her photos and read lots of great reviews from people online. I went ahead and booked her anyways and it was the best decision I made for our wedding! Learn from me - trust the random people you don't know online (like me!) saying that she is AMAZING!!! We did an engagement shoot and she was super accommodating with changing dates last minute - the weather wasn't looking good for our scheduled date and she knew how badly I wanted sunset photos, so she went out of her way and offered me a spot that opened up for her on a different day last minute! I talked with her beforehand about my vision for the photos and she really listened, making my vision come to life and even surpassing what I had hoped. We absolutely loved our photos and used them for both our save-the-dates and guest book (not to mention our Christmas cards that year too!). Leading up to the wedding, Allison was on top of everything, making my life much less stressful as the big day got closer. She scheduled a phone meeting where we made a detailed outline of the day and made sure she had all the shots I wanted listed so that we wouldn't miss any in the chaos of the day. Did I say chaos of the day? On my wedding day, Allison was a true professional and made my experience not chaotic at all! She arrived early and got right to work on detail shots and coming up with ideas for getting ready photos. I had a large bridal party with lots of big personalities and lots of family for photos, but Allison coordinated everyone seamlessly and blended right in with her laid back and enthusiastic personality. She always asked us before trying to pull us away for couple photos and made sure to grab us at the perfect time for golden hour/sunset photos - my favorite! Truly couldn't have asked for more from her that day. At the end of the wedding night, she even sent me TWO sneak peak edited photos which was so exciting to see. Allison sent the rest of our sneak peak photos very shortly after the wedding and there were TONS - way more than I was expecting. And then our full album was also delivered super quickly thereafter. I can't tell you how many times my husband and I "OMG-ed", laughed, cried, and literally gasped while scrolling through our album for the first time. Allison captured every moment perfectly with so many natural and candid photos (while also getting the more standard, classic, posed shots too). There are so many photos that capture so many little moments between my husband and me throughout the day that I truly will cherish forever. I could not have asked for more from a photographer or from my photos. Book Allison! You will not regret it - trust this online stranger :)

Keane's Wood-Fired Catering

Keane’s Wood-Fired Catering (originally named Boru Barbecue and Catering), was founded in 2016 by husband and wife, Padraic and Kaylyn Keane. They have brought together their love of wood-fired barbeque with fermentation and locally sourced products.

I don't even know where to begin - our wedding wouldn't have been the AMAZING event it was without Keane's! We will be forever grateful for their hard-working staff, delicious food/bar services, and of course KYM! Kym was my main point of contact from the beginning of my wedding planning - every single thought/question I threw her way, she had a helpful answer that was prompt and kind. We ended up having Kym add on service as a day of coordinator - and my family is still talking about how much of a rockstar she was. All of my guests that I interacted with that day, and now after, have commented on how lovely all of the catering staff was, and how truly great the food was. I am dreaming about the brisket meatballs, bluefish crostini and mac and cheese. I also had a guest who told me the bar staff made the best margarita they have ever had! We seriously cannot thank this team enough, and I just hope that I am lucky enough to go to another event that they are a part of. I wish I had photos to share of the amazing food, but just know that you will not be disappointed! THANK YOU!!!

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.

Loved working with Jackie! We fell in love with having flower lapels instead standard boutonnières, although she hadn’t made one before she a few samples and figured out how to make them for her us and they came out amazing. Friends and family still talk about how beautiful everything looked. Couldn’t be happier would definitely recommend her and would 100% with her again.

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.

I was blown away by the gorgeous floral arrangements by Wren floral design. Danielle was able to match our sensibility and aesthetic after just a few conversations, and the bouquet she prepared for me was one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. A real plus for us was that Wren works with plants that are native to the region. We had requested potted plants for table arrangements that could be wedding favors at the end of the night, and they came in the cutest pots and looked incredible. When the party ended our guests literally ran away with them! So grateful for everything Wren Floral Design did to help make our wedding so beautiful.

Definitely would recommend, she was very professional and she went out of her way to come all the way to Massachusetts to drop off the cake testing samples. Thank you Lauren!!
