First of all - the end product was just beautiful. Everything from the bridal bouquet to the ceremony flowers to the table styling was exquisite and super unique. Shannon did a great job incorporating my favorite color (yellow) and a whimsical, organic wildness into the design exactly as I had hoped. From our first meeting to the written proposal, Shannon interpreted my thoughts and ideas exactly. I was so impressed that she took my ramblings and half ideas and pulled them together into what I was seeing in my head. Shannon’s GORGEOUS color palette informed the entire wedding design and gave me a jumping off point for invitations, bridesmaid dresses, other decor, etc. Unfortunately, the process of working with Shannon was a bit challenging. She struggled with nailing down details: incorrect number of tables, inconsistent accounting of candles/bud vases, etc. It took a number of incorrect proposal drafts until we got it right - just weeks before the wedding. We were honestly quite disappointed by Shannon’s flexibility and communication. She self-describes as being highly collaborative, but that was not our experience. First, as beer nerds, having hops in the design was super important to us, and while she flagged early on it could be an issue to source real ones, we discussed using fake. While we all agreed that she shouldn’t use fake hops if they looked bad, we were sad to see on the day of that they didn’t make it into the design. It would have been nice to have heard a heads up from her that she didn’t plan to use them - even if it was just a brief mention on the day-of. Second, when our cake plans fell through at the last minute, we asked Shannon if she could possibly supply a few flowers for our small 6” cutting cake. She told us she would try, but later we heard from the bakery that she had given them a flat no. She never communicated her decision to us. Thankfully, the bakery pulled something together for us (shout out to Zest Pastry!). Third, the Monday before the wedding, Shannon sent an alarming email with the subject line “Head Advisory, Oh No!”, asking us what our plan was. Getting any email titled “Oh No” isn’t fun to receive less than a week before your wedding. Further, as a trusted wedding vendor, we would hope that she would have plans for weather or unexpected events rather than looking to us during a very stressful period. Lastly, (and most disappointingly) despite having a run of day schedule, Shannon was nowhere to be found when it was time to put on boutonnieres and corsages. Our photographers and party thankfully jumped in to help to avoid major delays to portraits (shout out to Katie Slater!). Fundamentally, the product Shannon provided was beyond compare - everything was beautiful. That said, the communication, coordination, and organization were lacking from our experience.

Tree Films Creative 

5.0

  • Videographer
  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Riverside, CT

Here at Tree Films, we make your story a priority. We strive to get to know our couples and how they came to be, down to the silly coincidences and weird first dates. We like to think that our mission goes beyond just documenting your wedding day -- the goal is to create an unforgettable experience! We are invested in making each video as genuine as possible, as if your story was being told by a best friend who witnessed all the important stuff. Tell us who you are as a couple and let us put together a video that tells the story from day one to I do!

When we were in the process of looking for photo/video vendors for our wedding, we knew we wanted a combined service, but we were having a hard time finding the right fit. Someone I was looking into did not have our date available, but they recommended Tree Films Creative. When I say this was the best thing that could've happened to us, I MEAN IT. Tree Films has been nothing short of amazing. I was amazed that they were even available for our date. From the very beginning, Ashley was so personable, she listened to what we wanted, she was knowledgeable, and so professional. She was our main point of contact and her and I instantly became what felt like good friends (even though I only met her via zoom calls). I asked her for help with a few things throughout the process and she never batted an eye and helped me with it all! She was very responsive; I was never waiting for a response or wondering what was going on. She always kept me in the loop. Once our big day finally arrived, Ashley and her team were at the venue before I arrived. She greeted me and I felt like I already knew her. The entire Tree Films Creative team made me, my husband, and entire bridal party comfortable and I remember having a sense of ease. I could not recommend this team enough. They went above and beyond for everything on my wedding day and beyond. At this moment, I have received photo previews, which was way more than I thought, (happily) and I cannot wait for more! I have seen the teaser film and am just blown away. I am patiently waiting to see the rest of the photos and videos and I know for a fact that they are going to be incredible. I am so happy they were the ones who captured our day for us. I can go on and on about Tree Films; they were a literal DREAM TEAM. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend!

Wildflower & Whisk is a tailor-made baking and event studio based in Fairfield County. At the helm is Daniela Nero, our founder, who crafts exquisite, one-of-a-kind cakes and gourmet treats inspired by her Brazilian roots. Beyond baking, we extend our creative passion to stunning floral arrangements and full-scale event design and production. Whether it's a wedding cake adorned with fresh blooms or a custom celebration brought to life, our studio promises elegance, creativity, and a personal touch. Let us transform your special moments into unforgettable experiences.

She is very responsive and easy to work with. When looking for a cake for your big day, it can be stressful, especially when a lot of your inspiration comes from random photos on Pinterest. However, Daniela made the whole process smooth and stress-free. She not only used my photos as starting place, but she reached out to the original cake designer/ baker to get a better look and understanding of how she could achieve the cake of my dreams. People kept coming over throughout the night and commenting on how beautiful the designs were (we went with a trio of cakes based on our number of guests). We also selected the Biscoff flavor (Cookie Butter) for our main cake, and WOW! It was beyond delicious. So different than anything we have ever had, and my husband was so pleased! The other two cakes were as equally beautiful and tasty. Thank you so much, Daniela, for working outside your comfort zone to bring my vision to life - you did it, and it was fabulous!

Planning a wedding? I know just what kind of music you need to make it a success. I’ve been lucky enough to serve some of the most amazing clients in lower Fairfield County on events both large and small. This experience and my passion for music has helped me evolve into one of the most skilled DJ's in the area.

DJ Marv was SO much fun at our wedding! Marvin's experience as a DJ definitely showed as he handled the ceremony music without any audio hiccups, making sure he was saying the bridal party's names correctly during the reception, and navigating toasts and announcements in a fun and very professional manner. He expertly controlled the crowd with some of the best mixes I've ever heard at a wedding! My husband and I did not want to leave the dance floor! We had so many guests after the wedding tell us how much fun they had dancing to the music and that it was one of, if not the most, fun weddings they had ever been to. We were so pleased and blessed to have Marvin DJ our wedding and we will absolutely be recommending his services! 1000/10!

I'm a licensed esthetician and makeup artist. My background is in TV and working for several beauty companies across the country. We do a lot of maternity/family session hair & makeup during the week and weddings on weekends. However, I'm always down for a weekday wedding having eloped myself. Our beauty team specializes in natural makeup applications and romantic hair styling. We travel to you for your special day or event.

Working with Kim and the team at Eye for Beauty was a dream! As many others have said, I don't wear make-up or style my hair normally, so I was nervous about having to "wear a face" on my wedding day. But my nerves quickly subsided after my hair and make-up trial. DEFINITELY DO THE TRIAL! My concerns were heard and, even though I was unsure about wearing lashes, I barely could tell they were on after a few minutes. Day-of, they were very familiar with the venue (Bill Miller's Castle), and so everything went smoothly (and ahead of schedule!). They were even kind enough to have a stylist/artist go to a family member's hotel room too! Highly recommend choosing Eye for Beauty as your hair/make-up team, especially if you are not typically one to wear make-up!

I look forward to capturing your moments and celebrating your stories through my lens.

I am the mother of the groom and am proud of the exceptional photography and exquisite pictures that Lauren Helsing captured of Greg and Melissa's wedding in the gorgeous setting in the Colorado Rockies! Lauren was professional, creative and managed to get wonderful smiles from my son, who throughout his life did not like to smile for the camera! She walked through prairie grass to get to the cliff where the ceremony took place, perched at precarious angles to capture a special vantage and delivered the most gorgeous photos I have ever seen of a wedding ...and in record time! She did have not only the surrounding snow-capped mountains but a stunning bride and handsome groom as subject matter. She caught them standing and sitting on their jeep, decked in white for her and black for him cowboy boots and hats, doing a dip to the crowds delight before a waterfall and so many treasured moments preserved in our memories and photos. Most important, she captured the love and joy that shone on their faces for each other. Lauren worked tirelessly, enthusiastically throughout the ceremony and the party that followed. A standing ovation for the work she gave us of their special wedding.

Avec L'Amour captured our wedding in June of 2023. We went with Avec L'Amour because we really liked the style and felt the prices were extremely reasonable compared to some of the other videographers out there. We went with the package that included the highlight film and the feature-length film. The audio on the feature-length film is a little tough to hear because of all the background noise, but we were outdoors and in front of a lake, so it’s understandable. While planning for our wedding, we worked directly with John. He had great energy and seemed very prepared every time we interacted with him. However, we never met John in-person because the day before our wedding, he reached out saying he could no longer make it and would be sending a replacement instead. This was understandably very stressful, but fortunately the replacement he sent was awesome. We would have liked to know this update earlier if possible, however we know that’s not always possible, and this was our only complaint in working with him. When John sent us the footage of our wedding, we were so happy with it with the exception of one place where the audio didn’t match up, one place where suddenly the video went purple, and the fact that one of our best man’s speeches was completely left out of the highlight reel; we brought these concerns to John, and he fixed them with no hesitation in a timely manner. Though we can’t review John’s videography or wedding day presence directly, we did have a good experience with his company and would recommend it!

The best decision you can make for your wedding (besides your soon to be spouse!) is to hire Hector. We bought one of the packages with music, lights, and photo booth. All I heard throughout the night was “I love every song!” Or “this is my favorite song!” I was worried that no one would be dancing and the floor was packed all night. We didn’t want the dancing to end. Not to mention that the photos from the photo booth were amazing, lots of great props. I had no idea how weddings work - schedule, timetables, etc. Hector patiently explained what should be done when, helped with music selections for cocktail hour and dinner, kept us on schedule all night, and overall was a really fun addition to the party. His online system is really easy to use. Also, I felt that he went above and beyond the call of DJ, seeing as my dress caught on the door as I’m about to walk down the aisle and have no hands free. He was there fixing it before anyone could notice what happened. He handled every curve ball With ease and minimal stress for me - like changing dates due to Covid, caterers setting up tables where the photo booth was to go, forecast of pouring rain for our outdoor wedding, etc etc. I was stressed out enough and I can’t describe how helpful it was to be working with someone who minimized stressful situations or took care of things without me even knowing about them. Thank you Hector for everything you did to help create the best night of my life! We are so grateful!

What obsesses me with photography the most is that I get to capture a moment in time that we all can recall back to. This can be a simple photo with a friend or an intimate moment with a loved one. All these moments hold a special place in all of us. This is what your wedding day is supposed to be about. A day filled with the memories of all your loved ones as you celebrate the start of a new journey together. A day filled with laughter, cheers, and tears and I want to be there to capture it all! If are planning a wedding, elopement, or engagement, please feel free to browse my work and if it resonates with you don't hesitate to reach out!

We got married exactly one year ago today – and what a day it was, perfectly captured by Kevin! We had a large wedding party and family, and Kevin wrangled them so well, while everyone was having so much fun. We ended up with a library of absolutely gorgeous photos, including a variety of backdrops, groups of people, and moments. Kevin allowed us to shoot portraits at so many different locations that were important to us (we got married at the college where we met), all the while sticking to our schedule. From our engagement shoot, to our getting-ready photos, the ceremony to the dancing at the end, Kevin captured so much love and beauty that filled our engagement and wedding. We cannot recommend K&R photos more to trust with photographing your most special day. Thank you so much, Kevin!

I cannot recommend the Amber Room enough. Everyone there is truly amazing and the food was delicious! From the planning process all the way through to the day of the wedding, we were supported and felt like a priority. Katie was amazing and so helpful through the planning process and significantly reduced our stress! All of our requests were accommodated and executed to perfection. Our banquet manager, Ashley, who ran the rehearsal and made sure the wedding day went smoothly, was also amazing. Ashley has a wonderful personality and made sure everything was perfect for us. All of the staff on the day of the wedding were friendly, helpful, and professional. I am truly sad that I won’t be communicating with the Amber room staff on a regular basis anymore as over the last 10 months of wedding planning, they have felt more like family. I know for a fact that without the staff, our day would not have nearly been as perfect as it was!

I love the dynamics of the day. All the energy, love and emotion that fills them. I prefer minimalism and simplicity both in life and business.

Awarded Best of Zola
Veronica was a pleasure to work with—especially in the midst of our cancelled wedding due to covid and planning a private elopement. She was quick to respond and more than willing to help make this unplanned day very special. She was flexible about time and place, whatever worked for us! She was upfront about costs and what we could expect in return. She was extremely professional and focused—she made the most of every minute of our time together with no unnecessary small talk (which we appreciated). She scoped out the setting and quickly noticed all of the opportunities for great shots. we saw her visions come true and her photos were absolutely stunning, creative, and top notch quality. I love her pictures more than I love the pictures from my re-planned wedding a year later. You will not regret working with Veronica!

I'm Meghan Ann Imagery! I'm an artist, storyteller, and lover of love. It's fitting I ended up as a wedding photographer, right? I'm based in Connecticut but wishing for the dream inquiries that will send me to Alaska, Colorado, or some place new.

Meghan was such a pleasure to work with and we kept saying over and over again throughout the wedding process, “We are so how grateful we booked her!” Literally you ask any of our family and friends what was the phrase we said the most throughout our wedding process was, “We absolutely love our photographer!” She made us feel relaxed throughout the entire process and truly helped us get not just the photos that we desired but BEYOND that. She is an absolute artist at finding the perfect shot and her positive attitude helps you feel at peace while you’re planning all the details of your wedding day. I can not recommend Meghan and her team enough. Absolute professionals!

I am a photographer and storyteller. For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by stories and traditions. I am passionate about documenting real human connections and I love learning all the meanings behind details at weddings and celebrations. When I’m not photographing, I can be found spending time with family and friends, exploring new places, and craving tacos. I love meeting new people, making new friends, and connecting with my clients. I can’t wait to get to know you, so let’s talk!

We can 100% say that our decision to hire Beth as our wedding photographer was the best return on our investment. Throughout the entire process of shooting engagement and wedding photos, and planning, Beth's expertise made us feel comfortable and confident. On our wedding day, Beth ensured that we stuck to our jam-packed itinerary, and she also coordinated with a second photographer. Beth even sent us a calendar for the new year— each month had a different photo from our wedding. Her thoughtfulness and commitment to her clients is incredible and we would recommend her to all our friends and family!

Pizzazz Strings is an international ensemble of professional musicians with over twenty years experience providing music for private functions, corporate events and weddings from New York to London, Paris and Switzerland. Founded in 2012 by leading musicians in the New York and Connecticut area, our mission is to provide a high quality and flexible string ensemble for any occasion. ​

We can’t say enough about how amazing Andrea was to work with and how awesome our music was for the ceremony and cocktail hour. Andrea is quick to reply and follow up, thorough with her information, and flexible and willing to work with you on whatever you can dream up (Metallic to walk down the aisle-no problem!). The song list is so extensive that we had no problem finding what we wanted and actually had a hard time deciding because we had so many choices! The musicians were professional and delivered exactly what we wanted….and they sounded phenomenal! Our guests raved about the ceremony and cocktail hour music and had a blast trying to guess the songs (we had a lot of rock/pop music included) being played by the string quartet. Our only sadness is that we got pulled away during the cocktail hour for an emergency and didn’t get to hear more of their beautiful music or thank them personally. Amazing to work with and hope we can get to use them for another event in the future. Thank you Andrea!
