Crystal was amazing to work with and brought our dream cake to life for our wedding in September! She was incredibly responsive from the start and helped us make decisions from the initial tasting all the way through to the final design. The cake was exactly what we dreamed of - classic, timeless, and so delicious! Crystal worked with us so that we could each feature our favorite flavor profile in the cake - rich and chocolatey for half and light and fruity for the other half. She also helped us incorporate our puppy in the cake with an adorable figurine that was spot on and a huge hit. We truly appreciate everything she did for us leading up to and on our wedding day!

She was there thinking of all of the last minute details and letting me enjoy the moment and the company of everyone in town without any worries. I didn’t lift a finger or touch my phone the day of my wedding she had it all covered. Had simple ideas to make my morning of getting ready smooth and helped me save money on day of food!

Hi, I'm Vinny Alves! I am a husband, father of two and wedding photographer in my free time. I am passionate for what I do. My job? To capture it all in a way that feels natural, cinematic, and timeless. But more than just taking photos, I’m here to guide you through the day, making sure you feel comfortable, confident, and fully present in every moment. My style? Cinematic, with a mix of artistic, classic, and documentary influences. That means your photos will feel like a movie—elegant, emotional, and storytelling-driven—while still being true to who you are.

I had the honor of having Vinny capture one of the most important moments of my life, my proposal to my fiancée. I chose him because I knew he would be the perfect person for such a special occasion, and he exceeded every expectation. On a snowy day, during a storm, Vinny never hesitated for a second. Despite the freezing cold, he dedicated hours with us in the park, making sure every detail was captured beautifully. The photos turned out extraordinary, truly beyond what we could have imagined. What impressed me the most was his care and dedication. My fiancée and I are not used to posing for photos, but Vinny guided us patiently and naturally through every step, making us feel comfortable and confident. His attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism transformed that day into timeless memories. I am deeply grateful for what he did for us and recommend his services without hesitation. Vinny is an outstanding professional who pours his heart into his work, and the results speak for themselves.

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.

Merry by Mia

  • Planner
  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Southport, CT

Everyone needs an events coordinator whose responsibility is to make sure you--and everyone at the center of the celebration--enjoy the event. Merry by Mia will be in your corner and take away all logistical stress.

One of the big pieces of advice my husband and I first received from married friends was to hire a wedding planner/coordinator and we are SO happy we went with the Merry by Mia team for our May 2024 wedding at Audrey’s Farmhouse! Mia and her team are top-notch, and are incredibly knowledgeable about our venue, to boot! While Merry by Mia bill themselves as “day-of coordinators”, their support really started months before our wedding. From the moment we jumped on our first call with Mia, we knew her team was right for us. She was so warm and excited for us, and was willing to answer any questions we had via phone call, email, and over “office hours” that she hosts on weekends for any couple her team is supporting - even if their “day-of” services haven’t technically started yet. When we weren’t sure about our wedding timeline for the day of, Mia sent us a sample timeline from another May wedding her team had coordinated at our same venue from a previous year. When we had questions about our officiant’s script, Mia sent us the skeleton script she had used when she officiated a wedding, complete with sentence starters for different vows. When we were struggling to find HMU artists who worked with diverse wedding parties, Mia sent us suggestions - one of which we booked and were so so happy with! When we were debating what late-night food to get our guests, Mia said she still dreamed of the Audrey’s team’s chicken fingers…and so of course we went with the chicken fingers - and guess what our guests still talk about?! These are just some of the many examples of how much we really relied on Mia’s expertise and support in the months leading up to the wedding, and how she continually went above and beyond. When it came to our actual wedding coordination, Mia let us know that she wouldn’t be available, and so we’d be working with her colleague Sara, who had actually coordinated Mia’s own wedding. Sara, too, was incredible. From about three months out from the wedding, Sara was in constant contact with us about upcoming vendor deadlines, helping us organize our final timeline, floor plans, and vendor COIs. She liaised with our venue when we had additional questions, and sent us resources for all sorts of things, from figuring out how to get our officiant (a family member) ordained to locating websites where we could generate wedding crosswords for free. Sara assisted us both on the rehearsal night, making sure things went smoothly, and the wedding day. She immediately connected with my family when we arrived, putting my parents at ease, and was wonderfully calm, steady, and supportive on the day of the wedding, from helping set up our tables and making sure all signage was placed appropriately, to helping me get a pollen stain out of my wedding dress with stain remover from her all-encompassing emergency kit, to arranging for an extra seat for a surprise guest who showed up, to getting band-aids and my husband’s and my dancing shoes (Nike Dunks) to us during dinner after my husband developed a blister from his loafers, to packing our decor back up at the end of the night. Mia and Sara had assured us that on the day of the wedding, all the planning we’d done together would pay off and we wouldn’t have to stress about a thing - and I can say our wedding was truly stress-free. Both Mia and Sara ended up feeling like friends by the end of this process, and I am so so glad we put our wedding in their hands.

I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in New York and Connecticut. I capture moments that feel alive—genuine, emotional, and meaningful. My goal is to create photos that bring you back to the emotions of that day, reminding you of the love, commitment, and joy that made it unforgettable. When I’m not with the camera, you’ll find me painting, refreshing my home decor, hunting for vintage treasure, exploring new places, or taking care of my plants family (currently over a dozen and counting!).

I am so grateful she was there for my big day—her presence made everything feel effortless and truly special. From the very beginning, she was incredibly thoughtful and professional. Before the shoot, we met to discuss our ideas, and she took the time to truly understand our vision. Not only did she listen attentively, but she also shared her own creative suggestions based on her research, making everything even better than we had imagined. On the day of the shoot, having her there felt like having a trusted guide and a dear friend by my side, capturing beautiful moments in the most natural way. She created such a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere that I never once worried about how the photos would turn out—I simply enjoyed the moment. Her presence on my ceremony day wasn’t just about taking pictures; she played a key role in making sure everything went smoothly. When we received the final photos, my husband and I were beyond thrilled. Each image felt like a window back to that magical day, filled with love and joy. We couldn’t stop looking at them! Her talent, patience, and warmth made this experience truly unforgettable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who can capture not just pictures, but emotions and memories that last a lifetime.

Our beauty team specializes in natural makeup applications and romantic hair styling. We travel to you for your special day or event.

Eye For Beauty CT was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the very first interaction, their communication was prompt, were easy to talk to, and extremely happy to address all of my questions and concerns. The quality of their work was nothing short of impeccable - Kim did my hair and makeup exactly the way I envisioned it, and I felt flawless on our special day. She was on time for our appointment and always had a wonderfully friendly demeanor that made it feel like having a friend getting ready with me. Kim was very patient, listened intently to my requests, and made sure I was completely satisfied. I cannot recommend Eye For Beauty CT highly enough for any bride-to-be looking for a top-notch beauty team to help make their special day truly unforgettable.

Be the Star Photo Booth is a photo booth company servicing weddings and other events, operating out of Shelton, CT. The team is committed to providing professional services from start to finish, using top-of-the-line equipment to create a first-class memorable wedding experience. Be the Star Photo Booth was established in 2013 by husband and wife duo Mark and Denise. The pair have been working together in the entertainment industry since 1996, with years of experience enhancing weddings and events. The team enjoys elevating events with their photo booth, offering couples and guests a take-home token when the celebrations have ceased.

We were a little undecided on whether or not to have a photo booth for our small, backyard wedding and we are SO thrilled that we did! All of our guests had so much fun and loved being able to get copies of their photos. We provided some props of our own, but the props they provided added so much to the experience. As a queer couple, we were very mindful about making sure we had all queer-friendly vendors and Be The Star Photo Booth made us feel so comfortable and at ease. Our attendants, Kyle and Rob, were absolutely PHENOMENAL. They weren't just attendants--it really felt like they were part of the celebration. They were kind, helpful, energetic, and so much fun to have with us as part of the experience. Kyle was so thoughtful and kept all the photo strips my wife and I were in until the end of the night. She even gave us a few 4x6 prints of some cute pictures of us. I highly recommend them and would love to use them again!

Hi! I’m Izzy a makeup artist based in Connecticut. I specialize in soft glam: all the steps of a full glam look with seamless blending for a softer, elegant finish. While soft glam is my signature, I can create any style, from natural glow to full glam. There’s no minimum booking — if you want me there just for you, I’ll be there! I truly love what I do. Yes, business matters, but my heart is in creating a special experience from the first message to your trial and your wedding day. I’m always improving my craft and staying up-to-date with the latest techniques to give you the best service. I’d be honored to be part of your special day!

From the moment I reached out to Izzy Makeup, their communication was fast, easy and honest. She was so helpful in putting me at ease and making the process feel less stressful. On the day of the wedding, Izzy delivered careful, trustful and beautiful makeup that allowed me to feel confident and beautiful. Izzy is clearly genuine about her job, and she did an amazing job - I didn't even need to provide an example, she just knew exactly what I was looking for. I'm so grateful to have had Izzy Makeup be a part of our special day.

We wanted to take some time to really express how amazing Cassie & Alex are, and how they were able to capture such tender moments so effortlessly while also being such kind and easy going people. My husband and I are so lucky to have collaborated with Beet & Blossom for our wedding this past June. We were able to genuinely enjoy our wedding thanks to them! We were speechless when we received our photos and will cherish them forever. Hiring Beet & Blossom was the best decision that we made wedding planning, hands down. We can't wait to collaborate with them again in the future for all the things. We truly cannot recommend them enough, thank you so much Cassie and Alex!

I’m the creative spirit and founder of Luxe Carts by Missy. With nearly 20 years of experience in the wedding and event industry, I’ve dedicated my career to crafting unforgettable moments for my clients—and now, I’m bringing that same attention to detail and celebration to the world of curated mobile carts. Food is my love language, and there’s nothing I enjoy more than turning fresh, delicious ingredients into something beautiful, stylish, and joy-sparking. Whether it’s an artfully arranged charcuterie display or a dessert cart designed to dazzle, or a signature cocktails, my goal is to create an experience that’s as gorgeous & delicious.

This launch party was simply amazing! One of the best launches for a business, that I have personally ever been invited to! All 3 separate stations that Missy designed for us (guests) clearly were thought and created with lots of love in mind because not only were they designed beautifully, but also tasted absolutely phenomenal! Can’t wait to have an event that calls for her in the future!!
