Check out what sets us apart from other Connecticut wedding DJs below, scroll down to meet our team, and see if your date is still available.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we first looked into hiring a DJ, we thought it was as simple as picking someone to play music and get the dance floor going. But we were impressed with how much more there was to it, and Collins Entertainment had it all covered from start to finish! There were so many details that we had not considered, like doing a "farewell dance" towards the end of the night. They also offered perspectives that we had not considered, like the benefits of doing wedding party introductions since we had not done programs. Because there is a team of DJs and they take incredible notes, it also means that there is a seamless transition in case of any emergencies. Our original DJ had a family medical emergency, but his colleague was able to step in without missing a beat (pun intended). We highly recommend!

I absolutely adore the team at Abby Lauren! They are the most professional, kind, thoughtful, and talented group of artists in the business. Abby herself was not available on my wedding day, but she went above and beyond to communicate clearly and in a timely fashion to make sure her team would be ready for the big day! We still talk on Instagram now! I worked with Andrea for makeup and Bailey for hair. It was an absolute dream! It’s like getting your hair and makeup done by two close friends who bring out the absolute best in you! They were so fun to talk to and work with, but most importantly, they made my vision come to life and made me look above and beyond more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! They also did the hair and makeup of my twin sister, my mom, my mother-in-law, and my sister-in-law, and I cannot express enough how beautiful they all looked! Whether young or mature skin, long or short hair, Andrea and Bailey are so talented! Additionally, Emma did makeup and Lynn did hair for my bridesmaids. I cannot rave about them enough! My bridesmaids had different visions and styles for hair and makeup, and they all looked 10/10. Absolutely stunning! Thank you so much to the whole team at Abby Lauren. I love you all! I am so happy you were a part of my special day.

We booked Sound Society for our wedding last month after seeing them perform at a wedding band showcase and WOW did they deliver!!! We ended up booking Sound Society as a three piece string arrangement for our ceremony and as a 10-piece band for our reception with emcee duties and they hit it out of the park. Every part of the process was simple and organized-- Neil from their team helped us choose special songs for the ceremony, tailor our do-not-plays and must-plays for the evening, and plotted out speaking cues throughout the night. A month later and we are still getting compliments about how alive our wedding band was! I spent two solid hours grooving on the dance floor and have no doubt you would do the same if you booked Sound Society.

  • Photographer

  • Serves Ridgewood, NY

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.

Rosehip Social Florist 

5.0

  • Florist
  • Starts at $150 per arrangement
  • Serves Ridgewood, NY

All of us here at Rosehip have been influenced by a lifelong love of nature and gardening, anything blooming and leaves of all types. We love what we do, and we love how flowers can bring so much joy and happiness to any space. Even something as simple as a small bud vase. We’ve been growing and working hard. Our lovely and amazingly hard working crew has been studying, building and even becoming arial scissor lift certified, so that we can hang greenery and flower installations from any ceiling and beam! True love of flowers and plants has led us to this life, and we can’t wait to share this passion with you! Come by, say hi!

Rosehip Social did my florals for my November 2024 wedding at the Wythe Hotel and WOW did they deliver! When I'd booked with them the year prior based on photos of their work I'd seen, I had just provided a general vibe and color scheme and trusted them to do their thing. A few weeks before the wedding I visited their shop for a table scape preview and we were able to go through specific flower types and colors and finalize some details. I ultimately ended up giving them some general guidances-- include yellows, oranges, and whites, not too fall-inspired, retro feel, tons of baby's breath-- and then let them do their thing. We ended up including a full floral ceiling installation which made the space feel magical. Everything from our bouquets to boutineers, to table scapes were expertly crafted and could've been from the fanciest celebrity wedding out there. The team was collaborative and helpful around making my budget stretch, moving pieces around the venue at different times of the night, and working with the venue's install team. Lauren and Pola from Rosehip are complete professionals and worth the premium if you want the most gorgeous florals in town. I will 100% be recommending Rosehip to friends and would book them again in a heartbeat!

Tino Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Ridgewood, NY

At Tino Photography, our style is a combination of photojournalism (candid), portrait and editorial photography. Our hope is that the images we create will speak volumes – about who our clients are as people, about relationships between newly married couples and about the subtle nuances of everyday life. Our goal is to provide you with a documentary-based illustration of your wedding day with guiding or posing when necessary. It’s not our intention to just “make pretty pictures”, but to truly make images that capture the relationship between two people in love.

I am truthful in saying that any review of Tino and his team will not do justice compared to the value you will get with him and his team. My wife and I had a covid-remix wedding where we had to move our wedding from right before Covid to April of 2021 (somewhat safe of a time to move forward). I have worked with Tino and his wife Ericka for about a year and a half and every step of the way Tino has been professional, accommodating, respectful, and just an absolute pleasure to work with. As a newly engaged couple and of course wanting to explore all of our options, my wife and I had decided to go to a wedding expo event at Terrace on the Park. After a warm welcome from his assistant CeCe and just admiring his work I knew right there I would be in great hands. From there I had reached out to Tino and we had an initial consultation. I just wanted to mention this because during that consultation, Tino’s first impression was so gentle and warm and I really appreciated that he wasn’t trying to sell us something like multiple other vendors. Also, Tino was able to intimately showcase his personal work and with that my wife and I were able to see that Tino genuinely has a passion for photography, loves what he does, and pours it into his work. The next time we met Tino was our engagement shoot. Tino and Ericka were beyond graceful and accommodating because we decided to do our photo shoot in Domino Park on what happened to be a windy, below freezing day near the water front during sunset. In-between the engagement shoot and covid pushing back our wedding Tino was very accommodating to work with and always keeping in touch in a respectful manner to just check in on us, our ideas, and genuinely our well-being. He gave us great advice as we spoke with other vendors to make our day as organized as possible. Fast forward to April 2021, the big moment finally came! We had a big fat Indian-Italian wedding consisting over a weekend. At every moment his team was professional and just a pleasure to work with to the point where our guests even pointed out how fun and pleasurable they were! Tino, Ericka, Benji, Adam, Derek, Gary, and Rubin at every moment were just punctual, funny, professional, and genuinely a good time. Tino gave great pointers that shined in his work - make up tips, dressing tips, lighting at the venue, poses, motions for our videos, color schemes, you name it. Tino and his team allowed us to feel relaxed and have fun this whole weekend which could have been super stressful. My wife and I were lucky to choose Tino. Our engagement shoot and wedding pictures are absolutely phenomenal. We are thrilled to show friends and family. We’re still using our engagement shoot as our Christmas card two years in a row. Absolutely fantastic work. Our wedding photos came out phenomenal and picture perfect like one of those pictures you get when you buy a picture frame from a department store. Our wedding videos WERE OUT OF THIS WORLD. They actually looked as if it were directed by a movie producer. The video was composed of great motions, video footage, music choices and more at every scene. Tino is beyond talented. All in all, we had a fantastic experience with Tino and his team and the most important thing was that we were completely comfortable while having a fantastic time. We were beyond lucky to have met Tino and Ericka and their team. I truly consider them not only my photographers for life but wonderful, warm people.

Awarded Best of Zola
It is hard to put into words the tremendous gratitude I feel for Christina and her team with Lovelace Designs. We had our wedding at the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, MA – a non-conventional space that very rarely holds weddings. There were countless unique aspects of this space we had to consider while planning the event, and it is no exaggeration that Christina executed everything perfectly. In addition to her amazing skills as an event coordinator, she is a kind and friendly person who supported me through all the unforeseen challenges associated with planning your wedding. Christina consistently went above and beyond what was contractually required. One example of this excellent service occurred when we were securing a pipe & drape vendor for our ceremony. Christina actually drove out to Holyoke MA to see the pipe and drape in person since this was a new vendor she had not previously worked with. I am so thankful she took that trip as we realized that vendor could not execute what we envisioned. After describing her concerns to me, she immediately presented me with a solution in the form of another vendor who was able to provide us with exactly what we needed for our space. This is truly just one example of the hundreds of occasions Christina’s customer service was far beyond what we could’ve expected. From the first phone call I had with Christina, I knew that she would be pleasant to work with and up for the challenge. As time went on, I developed a profound appreciation for both her fabulous taste and her special ability to help me take simple ideas and create a seamless theme and elegant design. She was so wonderful to work with, my grandmother hired her to assist with my bridal shower and my mother-in-law also hired her to coordinate the 170-person rehearsal dinner the night before our wedding! Over the past year, Lovelace Design became a beloved part of our celebrations and Christina became an extended member of our family. I look forward to using Christina again for future occasions and truly cannot express my gratitude for all her help, compassion, and skillset!

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jarrod and his wife, Taylor, are truly a dream to work with! My husband and I really wanted some simple engagement photos taken, but were reluctant because we’re not totally comfortable in front of the camera and didn’t want the poses/photos to look cheesy. Taylor gave us plenty of suggestions to pose us naturally and kept us laughing which put us at ease immediately. Jarrod was such a professional and really worked every angle and background to make it look like we spent an entire day shooting. The editing was super crisp and clean and the photos came back incredibly quickly. They far exceeded our expectations and we can’t thank them enough for giving us beautiful, lasting memories from such an important time in our lives. This couple is seriously amazing - genuine, fun, and experts at what they do!! Book them!

I began my career a decade ago. As a tour photographer, I began accompanying musicians all over the world. Little did I know at that point the low lights, high energy, and late nights would translate well into my career as a wedding photographer. My start as a music photographer gave me the confidence to navigate even the most challenging and unpredictable situations, and I use the same philosophy now while photographing weddings: keep calm, stay observant, and follow the action.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very first wedding that Jess and I worked together, I knew I had found "the one." Photographing alongside other artists typically comes with some growing pains, however working with Jess was effortless from the beginning. She has a talent, creative eye, and sensitivity that is unparalleled. Her ability to create beautiful images while gracefully navigating complex dynamics and stressful moments on a wedding day makes her a magician in my eyes. I continue to learn something from her every time we're together. Highly recommend.

Meaghan here - I’m the one from which you’ll hear a lot of “Fuck yeah!!!” and “You guys look so hot!” My inspiration comes from our lord and savior, Janis Joplin, and my style is free movement and honesty. Howdy! I'm Brendon, a quiet Mid-Westerner turned East-Coast loud-mouth who happens to have a knack for photography, editing, graphic illustration, and all things creative. My background comes from shooting fashion shows and exclusive events for BFA.com around NYC, which made me appreciate the avant-garde.

We had a terrific experience working with Meaghan and Brendon of “Far Out Feeling.” If you’ve made it this far, you already love their style – their ability to capture both candid and staged photos artfully – and we are happy to report that the photographers have personalities to match. We loved meeting them for drinks months in advance of our wedding, which gave us a nice context for one another when the day finally came (we cannot imagine, now, not knowing our wedding photographers when they arrived to take pictures of us!) We perhaps didn’t consider how crucial this feeling of comfort was, but when you think about, you do spend a tremendous portion of your wedding day with your photographers. Meaghan and Brendon felt like friends, which made even the parts of the wedding that we don’t like (posing!) feel easy, natural, and fun. Meaghan and Brendon were incredibly responsive, from first to last. They always got back to us the day we had a question, and even weeks after our wedding, they were responding to our technical difficulties within minutes. And the photos themselves turned out great! Again, you’ve probably seen evidence of this already. We cannot wait to print them, frame them, and, in all likelihood, post them relentlessly to our Instagram stories. A huge thank you to Meaghan and Brendon, who we recommend whole-heartedly.

Constellation is the caterer for numerous venues throughout the Philadelphia area, with unique locations from raw industrial spaces and lively concert halls to historic houses and iconic museums, and also offers in-home and office catering. Our dedicated team forms strong connections both inside our organization and with our clients, and these connections define us. Together, we bring restaurant-quality outside of restaurants, serving everything from intimate weddings to non-profit galas. We’ve built a culinary group that does what restaurants always have: get people talking—and daydreaming—about food, long after their last bite.

When we signed on with Constellation to cater our wedding, we had high expectations based on their stellar reputation alone, and they far exceeded our expectations on every level. During the year-long planning process, Brittany and her team were wonderful to work with; they were responsive from start to finish and very accomodating of our requests to ensure everything matched our vision from rentals to service to food. We had a backyard wedding so food service was anything but standard. They were flexible and nimble enough to service out of a barn (!) and a garage and somehow pulled it all off without a hitch. And, of course, the food was incredible. The cocktail hour spread with passed hors d'oeuvres and stations was a showstopper and I'm still dreaming about (and trying to emulate) our beautiful dual entree. Thank you to Brittany and the entire Constellation team for helping to make our wedding day perfect!

A Parisian transplant based in Brooklyn, I fell into with wedding photography very randomly on a New Year's Eve and it was an instant match for me. Since then, I've shot weddings in all sorts of venues from massive mansions to art galleries in New-York, Paris, the French Riviera, Scotland, and Portugal. When I'm not shooting weddings, you'll find me at home with my cat and husband, or travelling across the world. 30 countries and counting!

I am so glad we chose Carole as our wedding photographer!! She was very communicative and down to earth. By the time the wedding came along, even though we hadn’t met, I already felt like I knew her. She put my husband and I at ease (we’re both awkward in front of a camera) and had amazing ideas for poses and shooting locations. The photos we’ve received so far are absolutely stunning, we couldn’t be happier!

After fifteen years in theatre and television production, Kate O’Donnell Diaz discovered a love for planning events but wanted to do so with a different approach from what other planners were taking. Kate desired to help couples cultivate weddings that truly reflected them and not just what bridal magazines, their future mother-in-law or high school frenemy said they just HAD to do. The literal and financial waste she witnessed going into weddings because of something “someone” said the couple HAD to have made Kate feel incredibly uncomfortable. Kate saw a need for a more eco-friendly approach to event planning.

I absolutely loved working with Jen and Kate for my wedding in October 2023!! They were both always so communicative, understanding, and organized, and the amount of attention they put into all of our details really showed on the day of our wedding. They handled so many of the logistics as well for us with our vendors, so that we could better focus on the parts we considered more fun; that truly made the planning process so much easier and enjoyable for me and my husband. In the end, the two of them captured our vision perfectly and gave us such reassurance and confidence in their abilities that it removed all of the stress leading up to the big day. So grateful for getting the opportunity to work with both Jen and Kate — our wedding truly would not have been the same without all of their help!

I felt and looked like myself without being too overdone and even though I'm not a makeup artist, with her guidance, I was able to have excellent makeup for my wedding that looked good close up and in photo/video. We did a practice round over video chat before the big day and then she helped the day of with guidance. She listened to what I wanted and made some suggestions I wouldn't have thought of, which made the experience less stressful. So grateful for her help. Obviously, her services in person are ideal and I cannot recommend her enough for that, but due to COVID, I limited the number of people helping me and she was super helpful virtually too.

Hot 8 Brass Band is a 2022 Grammy-winning New Orleans based brass band, whose sound draws on the traditional jazz heritage of New Orleans, alongside more modern styles including elements of funk, hip hop, rap, and its local variation, “bounce.” Transcending genres and trends, Hot 8 have performed & collaborated with the likes of Jon Batiste, Blind Boys of Alabama, Basement Jaxx, Alice Russell and George Ezra, provided live support for Mos Def, Lauryn Hill & Mary J Blige. Our 2nd album ‘The Life and Times Of...’ was nominated for a Grammy in 2013 and won a Grammy in 2022 for our work on ‘Album of the Year’ winner, Jon Batiste’s ‘WE ARE’.

If you are looking for an unforgettable addition to your wedding or private event, look no further than Hot 8 Brass Band. I first heard them perform at a concert in New Orleans. When my then-fiance and I decided we were going to get married in New Orleans, they were my first choice as performers. We're not from New Orleans and neither were the majority of our guests. We knew that if we were going to introduce the idea of a second line, we had to get it right. Hot 8 delivered! Right after our cocktail hour, guests were offered champagne and invited to line-up. As we made our way down historic St. Charles Avenue, Hot 8 played a medley of Teddy Pendergrass, Tems, Frankie Beverly and Maze, Bill Withers and more. Folks went crazy. After we returned to the venue, they went into an hourlong set that kept the dancefloor full. Even I popped up a few times to dance underneath the stars, with our stars! We're a month out and our guests, who were a range of ages and races, still can't stop raving about this band. If you want to ensure your guests have an out-of-this-world experience that they won't soon forget, make sure you book the Hot 8 Brass Band.

My wife and I decided to hire Mikkel because of the beautiful photos taken at my wife’s sister’s wedding! The glowing reviews she has from her past clients couldn’t be more true. Mikkel is professional, organized, compassionate, and treats you as if you were her own sister/family member. She truly cares about the couple’s experience and takes that into account from the moment you have your initial meeting with her. My wife and I were worried about being awkward in front of the camera, but mikkel put us at ease and made the entire process fun, guiding us to be ourselves and encouraging us to get lost in the moment! During the twists and turns of our wedding weekend, Mikkel never showed a sign of concern (regarding the tropical storm headed our way), but always stayed positive, assuring us that we would have the most beautiful memories no matter the weather! We can’t recommend mikkel enough! She is an immeasurable addition to your wedding day experience and will leave you with stunning and lasting memories to enjoy for the rest of your life!

Always looking at new ways to use found and created light, he enjoys producing new photographs that otherwise would not be encountered.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were looking for a bright, editorial look for our wedding photography, and fell in love with the images we had seen from Chaz Cruz. 

Chaz was incredibly easy to work with - always so prompt in his replies, happy to answer questions, and had an amazingly detailed questionaire for us to fill out ahead of the wedding so that both he and his team knew exactly what we were after. The timeline he provided was also perfect, and left us knowing that our day would go smoothly! Although Chaz himself was not available to shoot our day, we won the lottery when we hired his associate, Celeste. Not only is she a true artist (we just received our huge sneak peek and every image is amazing) but she brought us so much joy. She was so much fun to be around all day, directed our family with such ease, charm, and efficiency during family portraits (what a gift), and was the perfect ‘fly on the wall’ when she needed to be. She is so skilled at capturing not just beautiful portraits, but incredible candid moments. We feel so lucky to have been able to work with both Chaz and Celeste for our wedding at the Wythe and can’t recommend them enough!

I’ve been in the beauty industry for 14 years. I’ve excelled in many different angles from cutting, coloring, extensions, styling & more. Bridal/Formal styling has given me a sense of fun & excitement from the moment I’m packing my bridal kit to the moment she’s headed out the doors. I genuinely love every experience of what I do!

Shannette arrived at 8:15a.m. and she worked from the moment she arrived. She was absolutely Amazing and extremely Professional. She did 12 girls hair and everyone looked stunning. She brought what everyone wanted to life. Everyone was beyond pleased with the Amazing job that she did. I hired Shannette in 2019 thinking my wedding would be in 2020 due to Covid we had to postpone and she still stayed by my side. I entrusted her work I didn’t even do a trial. I always wanted to look like a princess for my special day and she went above and beyond to make my dreams come true. I was nervous about doing the style that I always dream of and she assured me it would stay perfect all night and did. Shannette came to the venue with me and touched up everyone’s hair before we walked down the isle. I highly recommend her. I wouldn’t have anyone else style my hair for any other events in the future. I was asked all night who did mine and my girls hair and they wanted me to pass along her info. You won’t be disappointed if you hire her I promise. She stayed as long as I needed her and I was extremely greatful for that. Thank you for your amazing work and for being so extremely sweet to us…

Makeup is a passion and listening and understanding my clients needs are something that I take a lot of pride in. Making them feel beautiful and confident on one of most important days of their lives is truly an honor.

I can never thank Rosie enough for saving my wedding day when she accommodated my bridal team (10 ladies) on such late notice. Things didn’t work out with my original artist and I’m so thankful I found Rosie! She was so professional and talented, I’m still in awe over her work. My bride tribe ranged drastically in age and she managed to magically make us all look so youthful and we felt stunning! Her quality products and beautiful techniques allowed for our makeup to stay put the entire day! She was punctual, accommodating, personable, and just an absolute gem to work with. I’d recommend her a million times over! Thank you so much Rosie and team for bringing my vision to life and making my wedding day that much more special!

I wish I had my parents' wedding day captured on film. I would have loved to see how they interacted with each other on the day they celebrated their union. How nervous with excitement they were when they spoke their vows; how they arrived to the church; the look on my grandfather's face as he walked my mother down the aisle. ​ Moments such as these are valuable family histories because as generations move along, memories of past events evaporate. This is why wedding films are important and why I love creating them.

I cannot recommend Valerie and her team more! From day one she was invested in our vision and walked us through the process of how the day would go. She was kind and supportive, she listened to what we wanted and the end product was perfect! Valerie and her team are very professional and their work stands out among other videographers, which is why we decided to go with her company. She was quick to respond to emails and was willing to make any changes necessary that we requested. You will not be disappointed if you book her as your wedding videographer!!

As a photographer who has documented over 300 weddings, I have worked with my fair share of planners - and there is nobody I get more excited to work with than Dawn and her extraordinary team. Not only does she do a SPECTACULAR job creating fun, interesting, and cool custom designs while also managing all of her clients’ needs, she also is so on top of managing all her fellow vendors respectfully and effectively. She has always been the best in Brooklyn (that’s why she is on almost every preferred vendor list in town!!!) and now that she is bicoastal in LA, too, she gets to expand her absolutely amazing business - but also that means you should book her ASAP before somebody else nabs her.

Her impeccable attention to detail and great eye for the perfect shot were evident in every photo. She was able to herd our many relatives to make the family shoot less stressful, and even made the slightly janky Hyatt Place look elegant in the getting-ready photos. Erica was so friendly and had a strong expertise on the best shots for our venue. We were thrilled that Erica was willing to travel to New York City to shoot our engagement photos as well. We absolutely loved working with Erica (and Elle the second shoot, a dream!) and would highly recommend Clean Plate Pictures to any couple looking for professional, talented, and personable wedding photographers.
