Instead, our pricing is listed on our website and can be customized through our unique build-your-own-package tool allowing you to stay in control of your budget!

Green Apple Weddings & Events

  • Planner

  • Starts at $4,400
  • Serves West Hartford, CT

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We never expected to have the perfect wedding, but thanks to Kate and Jen/Green Apple, we truly had the perfect wedding for us. It was more than we could have ever dreamed of, and Kate and Jen made the process so easy. Between choosing the venue, picking the band, dealing with COVID uncertainties, actually running the show the day of, and a million other things, they were always responsive, patient, and so much fun to work with. It’s hard to know what the perfect wedding will look like ahead of time, and although we had some vague general ideas and a couple weirdly specific requests, we weren’t really sure about how it would all come together. Kate and Jen took the time to listen to us, giving us formal questions and plenty of their time to talk things out informally. It felt like they immediately got what we were saying and had ideas about how to make our wedding come to life. They were honest when they thought something might not work, and creative when we were trying to come up with solutions to an issue. All of that was so important because it could often feel really hard to plan a wedding while managing two busy careers and everything else in our lives, and it was so reassuring to know we had them making sure everything was on track. Their experience and their willingness to get to know us made everything come together that whole weekend in a way we’ll never forget. The best part about working with Kate and Jen is how much they clearly LOVE what they do, and truly feel invested in the couples that they are planning with. This really does not feel like just a job to them, and we felt so supported throughout by their warm and personal approach. We genuinely miss them so much already, and it's only been a month since our wedding.

We are painters when it comes to film. We enjoy creating love stories that poke at the heart of emotion. There’s an art to visually piecing a love story together. We have a strong eye for detail, and focus on really diving into a couples love and expressing their emotion for one another through our lens.

Awarded Best of Zola
I truly cannot put into words how amazing our entire experience was from start to finish. We found John and Avec L'Amour through our photographer, Heather Soucy. She told me that her family even used John for her brother's wedding because of everyone she has worked with, she trusted him to document their special day in the best way. That spoke volumes to me. When I say these two are a 'dream team' I am not kidding. As someone who had never been professionally photographed or video'd before, I was really nervous about looking and feeling awkward. John made my husband, Mike, and me feel SO comfortable throughout the whole day. It was so cool seeing these two incredibly creative minds feeding off each other to get the best possible shot. It was a little rainy on our day and they actually took video/photos of us inside a puddle reflection--I mean who thinks of that?! We were running a little late to the reception when our portraits were supposed to be taken and John knew we didn't want to miss too much of cocktail hour. We were able to get the most beautiful shots in just 30 minutes, including drone, which was super important to us. The Avec L'Amour team got absolutely stunning video without us feeling like we had cameras in our faces all night. We booked John for the 8-hour package, but realized we were not going to be able to get the bouquet toss or cake cutting in that time frame. NO worries!! John offered to stay an extra hour to capture the remainder of the evening. Now for the deliverables: we got our first teaser video back within 3 weeks of our day and I was absolutely blown away. We received the full gallery which included a 1 minute teaser, 3 minute trailer, and the full 1.5 hour long event not even a MONTH after our wedding day. It was just like watching a move of all our favorite people and he captured the day so perfectly. I cannot say enough: RUN, don't walk to book John and Avec L'Amour for your special day!! Worth every penny. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I connect best with couples who might include their dog in the ceremony, make their day uniquely theirs, and don't sweat the small stuff. A jar of wildflowers is as interesting to me as a perfectly crafted orchid bouquet. I love documenting the small moments and details, and I see beauty everywhere on a wedding day. My face always hurts from smiling so much on my drive home! I know how to take charge for posed portraits (and always do some!) but I prefer to capture moments as they happen. I've been a photographer full-time for over fifteen years.

Stephanie is a wonderful photographer. From the first moment I contacted her to receiving my pictures and Wedding book, I had a such a wonderful experience. Stephanie has an ability like no other. Her presence is one that brings you a calmness, which on your wedding day you will appreciate! When I look at my wedding pictures, I can still smell the fragrance of the food we ate, the emotions I was feeling, and the way the sun and air felt on my face. Stephanie did that. She captured all those little things that are so important and magical. If my house had more walls they would be filled with her photographs.

At Life Through a Shutter Photography, our goal is to preserve memories and emotions that will last a lifetime. We approach our work with empathy, care and attention to detail, ensuring that each client has a personal and enjoyable experience. Sure, looks are important... I dig deeper than just what appears on the outside, I find those raw emotions and capture the connection in real time. What matters most when you look back at an image is being able to relive that emotion, what you felt in that exact moment, and hang on to that feeling. That's the real reason why photos last a lifetime and say a million words. Emotion!

Alysha's photographic talent goes beyond technical expertise; she skillfully captures the essence of events with precision and creativity. As a DJ at Lionizing Entertainment, I eagerly look forward to working with Alysha because of our seamless teamwork and the delightful synergy of visuals and music she effortlessly creates. Alysha's skill set isn't confined to technical proficiency; it's her innate ability to weave captivating stories through her lens that sets her apart. Her professionalism, adaptability, and positive approach make every collaboration an enjoyable experience. Alysha effortlessly aligns her talent for capturing key moments with the beats I provide, enhancing the overall experience for our clients. To sum it up, Alysha's impressive skills and collaborative spirit make her an excellent choice for anyone seeking a photographer who not only meets but surpasses expectations. She brings a unique and memorable touch to events. I'm eagerly anticipating our future collaborations, confident that together, we'll continue creating moments that leave a lasting impact.

Born and raised in Maine, I dream of one day retiring there by the sea, like a real life Miss Rumphius. But until then, I live just outside of Boston with my husband and our three cats. I'm married to my high school sweetheart, but we waited more than a decade before saying our own vows. Sometimes (okay, often) I eat cake for breakfast, so you can always count on me to help taste test yours. If I'm not photographing people in love, I'm probably enjoying a glass (bottle) of champagne on the couch or planning my next adventure. I believe everything is better by the ocean and you should never wait to explore the world.

Kendra's photography is so beautiful and she is a delight to be around! Her knowledge and passion for photography show in her work. She has such a creative eye and captures everything- people, details, architecture - so beautifully. I have worked with her a number of times, on weddings and most recently for branding photos. I was blown away by the images, and I'm sure you will be too!

I had the best experience ever with perfektion films. Trevauhn is easy to work with, talk to, and he makes it easy to feel comfortable. My husband and I are awkward and hate taking pictures but it was a breeze and the pictures are gorgeous. People are always saying how great his personality is and how kind he is, never mind the rave reviews i get about my pictures. Couldn’t recommend perfektion films more highly.

Vibrant was fantastic for our March wedding. They brought amazing energy and class to our event, and guests are still raving about them a month later. The dance floor was packed for the entire evening. Lauren and Miguel are a dynamite lead-singing duo, and the instrumentalists are each incredibly talented. Justin was very responsive and easy to connect with leading up to the day, and accommodated all of our requests and needs with ease. They were also very helpful with recommendations based on extensive experience, and even allowed the bride's sister to play their keyboard for the ceremony, which was an over-and-above request they did not have to agree to. Overall can't recommend this group enough!

Our style is artistic and documentary, and can be described in three words; Sincere, Scenic, and Inspirational. Sincere, we will never ask you to act unnaturally in front of our camera; we will adjust to your personalities and photograph you as you are. Scenic, because we love beautiful landscapes and love to incorporate everyone in such environments. Inspirational, because there is always a new way or a new idea to capture a photo but in the end it's capturing that special moment.

Sam did an incredible job capturing our wedding photos! Their creativity and attention to detail made every moment feel special. Sam had a fantastic ability to make us feel comfortable and relaxed, resulting in natural, candid shots that truly reflected our love. The composition and lighting were perfect, and every photo felt like a work of art. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and the stunning memories Sam created for us!

Hi there! I’m Daniel Martinez, and I’m thrilled to connect with you! My passion for photography ignited at just 14 years old, and I’ve been dedicated to this creative journey ever since. With a decade of experience in wedding photography, I’ve had the joy of working with fantastic publications like ESPN, PDN, and The New York Times. I focus on a documentary style, capturing genuine, candid moments that tell your unique story. My goal is to create a relaxed atmosphere, allowing you to fully enjoy your special day while I document the heartfelt connections between you and your loved ones. I’d love to chat!

We hired Danny to take our engagement photos and we couldn't be any happier with how they turned out. Danny's eye is unmatched. We took the pictures on Danny's referral at beautiful Rockland Lake State Park around sunset. His knowledge & usage of natural lighting was truly impressive. Danny's communication throughout the shoot was flawless; he knew what to say and how to say it to catch the most amazing photos. We're beyond excited to have him shoot our wedding next September in Lake Placid, NY!

Kate and her fellow musician were wonderful from start to finish. She was communicative, easy to work with, and provided us with a beautiful cello/violin duo for our wedding ceremony. The selection of music was extensive, and she even allowed us to pick a song of our choice, which she arranged and played for our special day. She was in touch with our officiant, photographer, and wedding coordinator ahead of time, so we didn't have to worry about logistics, and she was on-time and just completely lovely the day-of. We didn't stress at all and were so appreciative of her excellent work. Highly recommend O'Brien Strings!

I started photographing weddings in 2017. I originally got my first camera to photograph landscapes- National Parks specifically. But the second the camera was in my hands, I was immediately drawn to photographing connections between people. Since that moment I haven't hesitated while my heart led me in the direction of wedding and elopement photography! I love documenting the in-between, unprompted moments; the subtle way your partner glances over at you with a side smile when you're not paying attention, the groom fiddling with his new ring, and the uncontrollable laughter when you're melting into each other during your couple's photos.

Tammy is my number one, favorite photographer to work with and the only person who can actually help me relax on a wedding day. I can trust her completely. I never need to worry about where she is, if she's getting the shot, or if she's shooting enough variety. She knows exactly what she's doing from extensive experience and she treats weddings with the same gravity as if it were her own day. Some of my favorite images of all time are just that due to Tammy's ability to read a room and complete the story. She continually brings new skills and her own innovation into every event, which I love to keep up with on her social media. Tammy gets so many compliments in part due to her skill and professionalism, but also because of the energy and perfectionism she will bring to your day. I can't say enough great things about having Tammy as a photographer.

You’ve seen wedding bands before. But you’ve never seen one like us. Our wedding nights are, in a word, unforgettable. We specialize in epic dance hits, teary-eyed singalongs, and everything in between. Book us for your event and you'll get our award-winning Boston Wedding Band & DJ combo, PLUS our professional sound and stage lighting system at one simple rate, with absolutely NO overtime charges. We travel all over New England and beyond, so when you’re ready for our industry-leading talent and a game-changing event package all at one affordable wedding band price, we’re ready to celebrate with you.

We are still on a high from the most fun night of our lives all thanks to BeachNights band, Chris and DJ Connor!!! If you want to have music at your wedding that everyone will be talking about for years to come, book BeachNights for your reception and the DJ combo for your other music needs (ceremony, cocktail hour, afterparty). Booking BeachNights for all our music needs was the best decision we made for our wedding day. BeachNights far exceeded our expectations. Chris is so professional, organized, and easy to work with. They have so much experience in all types of venues; you will be glad you have a band who knows exactly what they need to do to put on a seamless performance. They keep the music process worry-free so you can focus on other aspects of wedding planning. A piece of unsolicited advice if I may, book BeachNights for everything: ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, afterparty. It was so much easier being able to talk to ONE person and coordinate all music through ONE group rather than having 4 music vendors involved in the planning process. They take time to learn about you as a couple, your music wants and needs, likes and dislikes so that every single song is exactly what you want and how you pictured your music on your wedding day. THANK YOU Chris and team for making our wedding dreams come true!

Hi! My name is Nick. I fell in love with photography as a child through my love for music; I was obsessed with album covers and photos that would draw my eye and immediately tell me a story. I have a passion for art and my way of expressing it has always been through music and photography. I love hanging out with my friends and being social. Going out to dinner, having drinks, and spending time with my family are a few of my favorite things.

We never even looked for another photographer when planning our wedding. We new from the start that we would use Nick Finochio Photography. We had seen his work for many years prior to our wedding and we were in awe at his attention to detail and overall style of photography. When it came time for our wedding, Nick delivered beyond our expectations. His calm manner was exactly what we needed on our big day and he made us and our bridal party feel so at ease in front of the camera. Nick realizes the style you are going for with your wedding theme and personalities and turns that into a story with his photos. We HIGHLY recommend Nick for your wedding day and promise that you will be blown away by his work.

It’s about making sure the night flows without awkward pauses and confusion, crowd interaction and not hiding “behind the DJ booth” all night. From pre wedding meetings deciding what were going to do and when, guiding you on the best lay out to fit your crowd size and venue their isn’t much I cant help with.

Robert was one of the BEST choices we made for our 2024 wedding! From our first phone call, we knew he was special and would help make our day amazing. His attention to detail, his go with the flow attitude, and comedic timing as an MC made our guests feel comfortable and kept them on the dance floor. We made several changes in the moment and Robert was able to execute perfectly. I can’t recommend the Toasted brew enough, I can say confidently that if I were to plan our wedding again, Robert would be my first call.

I know it sounds crazy, but I may or may not have picked my wedding date based on Nikki and Rachel's schedule. Nikki did my makeup for a friend's wedding 2 years ago, and after feeling the most beautiful I'd ever felt in my life I knew I was going to book her when my time came around. The entire process with Nikki was easy, from my trial to the logistics and all in between. Her work speaks for itself. I can't even count the number of people who came up to me and told me my makeup was insanely gorgeous on my wedding day, and I felt that way too. The one aspect that I feel shouldn't be overlooked is the experience Nikki and my beauty time provided for me on that day. When I say down in the chair, it was the first time I started to get nervous and thought, "Oh my god, this is really happening," but sitting there with Nikki and chitchatting and giggling made my nerves go away. I was so sad when the getting ready part was over because I had so much fun hanging out with them LOL. Thank you, thank you, thank you Nikki for making me feel so insanely beautiful, and for being such a big part of my wedding day. My blast of a morning set the tone for the rest of the day!
