Maddy is a talented makeup artist and hair stylist. As someone who doesn't enjoy a lot of makeup, she was very consultative with me during my bridal trial, and understood the balance I was trying to strike between natural, glowy beauty that still felt elevated and special enough for my wedding, without being over the top. She did a great job on the wedding day listening to the bridesmaids and helping them find their ideal look too. She also has amazing range with hair styling and really helped me figure out how to make my hair color shine with my vision for my wedding hair! She did a great job keeping the day on time and efficient, and was calm, cool, collected. She is also so much fun and is a delightful addition to your wedding day. Thank you Maddy, we all looked amazing and had a great time with you! Highly recommend.

Nina McCandless is an events professional with more than 18 years experience executing exquisite, gorgeous, memorable events all over the world. Obsessed with the details and in pursuit of achieving an indelible finish, she's worked with brides, elopers, corporate clients, HNIs and well-known brands like Coach, Fendi, NBC Universal, and Glamor Magazine, to name a few. Since 2019, this talented and zen planner has branched out fully into the wedding industry and loves working with couples to create a magical wedding celebrations, and planning unforgettable honeymoons.

Nina is not what you'd expect of a wedding planner - she is so much more. Besides the fact that she has impeccable taste, an easygoing hat about her, expert knowledge and tons of vendor relations, she made me feel from the first day of hiring her through the moments when the wedding was over and I was sharing photos, that everything would be perfect. Like a coach, she put a few of my expectations, all of my anxiety and some of my to-do list in check, but did so with such professionalism and calmness, that I feel in hindsight her fee was more than worth it. I was apprehensive about paying a planner for something I truly believed I could do. Later than I'd like to admit, I became overwhelmed and seriously behind as the actual day neared. I was referred to Nina by my fiancé's friend [note that my fiancé was so over me planning the wedding me on my own]. I had fun on my day, I was relaxed and look like I was truly enjoying our day in ALL the photos. Adding that Nina also flew in a DJ from Miami who I was and am a fan of. I thought it would be a gazillion dollars, but it was just a little bit more than the local DJs. Her industry experience def gives her an edge and made us look super cool.

Maggie is an actual angel - working with her was a dream! She was so communicative and helpful when I was planning, so collaborative on my look and what my party would look like. She was very responsive and asked great questions! I knew from the hair trial that Maggie was the perfect person to work with for my wedding: knowledgeable, talented, and kind. She was so considerate and kind to my mom and mother-in-law, making sure she made them both feel like movie stars. She handled multiple different hair textures, ages, and lengths with ease! We all looked amazing and my hair (a braided up-do) held through the whole day including a lot of dancing, through the night, and still looked great when I woke up the next morning. My hair didn’t have 1,000 Bobby pins or so much hairspray that it felt like a helmet but it was secure, beautiful, and comfortable (again, so comfortable I slept with it!). I would recommend working with her to anyone and would love to work with her again.

I have always had a love affair with makeup, as well as the opportunity to teach and share my passion for makeup. This is why I created Makeup Masters. After being in the beauty industry for over 25 years, and having the opportunity to work with the most talented artist in the industry, my vision was to create a service with these artists, utilizing their talents, and make them available for all women. Makeup Masters believes in bringing out the individual beauty in every woman. Building self-esteem and confidence with the right hair-styling and make-up application, so you feel your most beautiful for any occasion.

I was looking for a makeup & hair artist at a more comfortable price and Makeup Masters fit the description. Scott was super helpful with the information and payments were made easy through PayPal. The hair artist that we got was super professional and helped my bridesmaids well. Since it was raining outside the hair stylist did great to make sure no one’s hair would look bad from the humidity. However, the makeup artist doesn’t deserve so much stars, she came an hour plus late. And while she was late she also took long with the girls knowing the time frame to be ready was at 1130, and she still had two girls left (& it was 10am).

They learned a number of songs that we asked for, and even let them bride's father sit in on a song that was meaningful to our family. They were funky, electric and professional. 100% recommend.

I like to think of myself as a lil bit southern, lil bit punk, and a whole lotta rock-n-roll. I’m a PBR lover, hardcore show corner dweller, disco ball queen. You’re going to hear me say, “hell yeah, brother” more than twice, Dale Earnhardt is an icon, and Dolly Parton is royalty. You'll love me if you're a little trashy, always classy, badass, sometimes chic, forever romantic. Unwedding, editorial, nontraditional, offbeat, colorful, joyful, film-inspired, and disco vibes always. If you like, I'll wear a rainbow suit, I'll definitely dance with your mom, and I will always be a champion for you and your lover.

Kathleen is AMAZING. She did our engagement photos and I cannot speak highly enough. She was so cool to work with, had a great eye for location, and was so fantastic with coordinating our forever-awkward selves to get some incredible shots. We both get very anxious on camera but she made the whole experience so safe and welcoming that we ended up having a so much fun. Her communication throughout has been absolute top tier - we knew exactly what to expect every step of the way - and the end result is beyond our wildest dreams. 10/10, cannot recommend her enough and can’t wait to work with her again in the future!

HI there! My name is Natalie and I own Natalie Kathryn Photo! I love having the privilege to capture you on the best day of your life! I absolutely love weddings and being able to be there for every part of your day!

Wedding photos were such an important part in planning my wedding. I wanted to make sure I was investing in something high quality and would match the editing style my husband and I prefer. Natalie and her teams photos are just that. While she was who did all our final edits, she was not able to be present on my wedding day. Instead two girls who she works closely with did my wedding photos. I was a bit nervous about this at first but after working with Natalie I put full trust that her recommendations would not let me down. We are so thrilled with our sneak peaks and are so glad we trusted this team. Everyone was so great in making sure we got the posed photos we wanted but also capturing moments as they happened. Looking forward to receiving our full gallery. If anyone is looking for bright and romantic photos, look no further.

From their App that allowed me to add and remove song options and make specific notes so anything I wanted in a very specific way was easy and clear. After that, our team took creative control and when I tell you my guests did not sit down for even a second!! Dinner was being served and they had to make an announcement for everyone to sit.

  • Starts at $4,800
  • Serves West Hartford, CT for additional fees

A Charleston Wedding Photographer with a fierce love for storytelling, fostering memories and capturing those moments that you will want to treasure forever. I get to tell your story. And, I think that’s pretty cool. I love traveling everywhere and anywhere, talking with my hands, buying plants (and attempting to keep them alive), and spending as much time as I can with my loved ones. I have lived in Boston, Paris, and New York City, and am now lucky enough to call Charleston home, while also still traveling the world for my clients. You can usually find me on my back porch in downtown Charleston, right next to my favorite little park.

tldr: Jessica is amazing and I don’t think you can go wrong with her if this is the style of photos you like I had a lot of difficulty picking a photographer as I’m pretty picky with photos. I knew I wanted something bright and light, with kind of a whimsical or ethereal vibe, but it was really hard finding the style until I came across the “fine art” style. Jessica’s name came up while researching this style and I decided to reach out to her among a few other fine art photographers. I definitely hoped talks would go well with Jessica as the others I contacted ended up either not responding or were wildly out of my budget. Pre-Planning: Jessica was wonderful throughout this process. She promptly responded to my emails and answered questions clearly. I never felt like I was left in the dark for any part of the process. When I sent her the timeline of the ceremony/reception, she quickly came up with a timeline to slot in all the photos to be taken ahead of time at the location (We had access to the venue for a little over an hour prior to the ceremony). She also asked for a list of family photos that we wanted to take. This made it very easy at the wedding as she could call out people’s name to make sure everyone that was supposed to be in the pictures, were in the pictures. Jessica also sent over a list of ideas for detail shots and explained she could do this ahead of time. We didn’t want extra pictures of these and decided against it, however, I still thought it was very thoughtful of her to offer. Wedding Day: I loved her energy at the wedding. She was very calm and felt very competent. She directed my husband and I throughout the pictures, showing us poses etc. During family and wedding party photos, even though we had many bodies to fit in the frame in quite a few pictures, she led us through them with ease and the entire experience was very stress free (or as stress free as can be at a wedding lol). The venue was quite dim at specific locations, but the final results did not reflect that at all. The pictures were bright and did not look like they were taken in the dark at all. (This is a little off topic but I loved the little apron with pockets she wore for her equipment. So cute) I’m not sure when Jessica had the time, but there were pictures around the venue which were so beautiful. I definitely feel like the day was captured through the pictures. Post Wedding: Jessica sent us a sneak peak 2 days after the wedding containing 23 pictures. They turned out great and were beautiful. You can see examples on her website so I won’t elaborate, but they really are that good. The full gallery was sent almost a month after the wedding (minus 2 days) with instructions on purchasing prints or an album attached. The full download contained 650ish files, including the sneak peek pictures. Half of which were black and white, so this matched up pretty perfectly with Jessica’s estimation of the amount of photos when we spoke in the pre-planning stage.

Hi! I'm Danielle. I'm a Midwest elopement and intimate wedding photographer. Currently based in a small suburb just outside Detroit, Michigan, but available for travel anywhere! I have had a love for creating for as long as I can remember. When I was little, I drew everything as I saw it and I think that's why photography feels so perfect. It's an absolute dream to be an artist by trade and capturing special moments is a job I take to heart.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kindred Light has a way of capturing the moments you can't plan. Any photographer can capture those planned shots - those do not speak to their ability. Danielle has an eye and ability to capture the moments that speak the emotions without words, sounds, or captions. Being able to capture personality, emotion, expression, desire, and intent is something rare to find. Being able to have those moments/memories capture from our weddings is something we are forever grateful for! There is not a monetary value that you can put to those moments/memories!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding photographer myself, I tend to be extra critical when it comes to vendors - but Nicole truly stands out from the crowds. When Im not available for a wedding or portrait session - I send couples straight to Nicole, knowing they will be in good hands! Beyond her clear talents, the experience Nicole gives to her clients is top notch. I've had the pleasure of working with her on many events - and her bubbly personality, professionalism with a side of laid-back awesomeness, and contagious smiles are 10/10. She's an absolute rockstar - and the Boston wedding industry is lucky to have her!!!

  • Solo performer
  • Serves West Hartford, CT for additional fees

"I am an eclectic wedding violinist based in the Worcester-Boston area of Massachusetts. I perform for wedding ceremonies, cocktail hours, dinner receptions, first dances, and dance receptions. I enjoy learning my clients' favorite songs so that their wedding day feels extra special. I am able to play a variety of different music genres (top 100 hits, music from Bridgerton, hip hop, R&B, EDM, rock, big band, & classical) and can perform on my electric violin with your DJ for your reception. I am able to provide my own Bose sound system which can be battery-operated for outdoor areas."

The Violin Kat was amazing to work with for our wedding. Kat's communication style was efficient, responsive, understanding, and easygoing - she answered all of my questions and updated the song list whenever I changed my mind. The quality of her work was beautiful, graceful, and perfect. Kat sent demos and joined meetings to fully understand our expectations, and she executed the music flawlessly on the day. We would 100% book her again for any future events. I highly recommend The Violin Kat to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and personable musician to make their special day even more magical.

Hi I'm Andrew! I first started filming weddings when my sister got married in 2017. I quickly fell in love with the entire process and getting to know all the couples and their guests. Maybe I'm just a hopeless romantic haha (My guilty pleasure is Hallmark movies, once I walk in the room with it on I have to see how it ends!).

Awarded Best of Zola
Thank you so much! I am so glad I have these videos to see what I missed and that I can watch what kind of time everyone else had at my wedding. And having the whole day on video means a lot so I can relive it (I have terrible memory so I videos are the best thing).

At Enchanted Weddings by B&K, our passion for event coordination is the heart and soul of our business. It is this love for creating memorable and flawlessly executed events that drives us to provide the highest level of service to our clients. We understand that your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and we are committed to making it perfect in every way.

Brianna and Karin were absolute rockstars! They took on a super difficult task due to the nature of the venue -- an DIY outdoor center with no cell phone reception, and key sites separated by a 0.3 mile gravel path, plus literally 7 different locations for all the different events (rehearsal, his and hers getting ready, ceremony, reception, cocktail hour, and food storage cabin). Oh, also the venue team has never hosted a wedding before!!! B&K handled it perfectly. I truly don't know what we would have done without them. Thank you for helping make it such a truly unique and special day.

We capture the happiest moments of best friends celebrating the beginning of their new life together with friends and family on Cape Cod and the Islands who value the memories that only a wedding film can create for them.

Cindy and Sean of Harborview Studios were the videographers for our wedding in August of 2020 on Cape Cod, and I can’t say enough good things about them! Our original wedding plan was a 200+ person wedding at the Dennis Inn. By the end of April 2020, my stomach was in knots, unsure of how we should alter our plans. Cindy and Sean were the first vendors to proactively reach out to us, and it made such a world of difference to know that they were in our corner. Cindy and Sean have been flexible and responsive to our needs through the entire process. Once we realized we would have a small ceremony on our original date and reschedule the reception to 2021, we originally planned to have Cindy and Sean film the micro-wedding for only two hours. But as our plans developed, we realized we wanted to do as many of the special wedding moments as possible in August, and so we extended the time that Cindy and Sean would be there and also what we requested from them following the wedding. During the wedding, we hardly noticed that Cindy and Sean were there. They are so professional and just let you do your thing. They were very communicative about delivery timelines for our requested films, and when we received the final products in the fall, we were totally blown away! It has been wonderful to share the full ceremony edit with extended family and friends who weren’t able to attend in person. And the highlight reel is amazing - we will treasure it for years to come. My family members have already re-watched them dozens of times! Cindy and Sean are incredibly kind, thoughtful, and beyond talented. They were just the vendors we needed to navigate planning (and re-planning) a wedding in the middle of a pandemic, and we are looking forward to working with them again this August, for our anniversary party.

A wedding DJ/MC is one of the most important parts of a wedding as they run the whole show and set the stage for every important moment. We are so glad we hired Greg as he absolutely nailed every single moment of our day. Every musical que was on time, the sound levels were perfect, all of his mics and equipment worked flawlessly. He kept the night on schedule yet never made us feel rushed. He was a blast to work with and helped up craft our own vision of what we wanted our wedding to sound like. He even provided helpful tips and notes for our friend who we had officiate our ceremony. His uplighting and selfie station were big hits as well as every one of our guests made sure to let us know. Greg was hands down the MVP of our wedding and we can’t recommend him enough.

Nothing brings me more joy than working with a couple on their wedding day to bring them memories that will last a LIFETIME!

UGHHH words are not enough.. Amanda was spectacular. We’re wedding videographers ourselves and the idea of having to find a videographer was daunting. Amanda was literally a dream come true. We got a teaser film, a highlight film and a feature film, and every single one came out incredible. We laughed and cried and couldn’t believe how the videos felt exactly how we felt on the day. She managed to capture the essence of our relationship, so authentically. There were so many little moments and soundbites that she included that made the video so unique to us. You could really feel the energy, effort and love that she put into the editing process. On the day, she was such a calming and fun presence, we felt so comfortable the entire time. You can really tell how much she cares about what she does and that she puts her all into her work She had so many creative ideas on the day and was down for anything which was super important to us! She was easily the best investment we made for our wedding day and we are so grateful that we have these heirlooms of our day to watch for the rest of our lives!
