Hi guys! I’m Lauren and I am the owner of LA Page Makeup. I’ve been providing makeup services to CT and New England for over 14 years and have found nothing lights up my world more than serving clients and giving them the confidence to shine! I have earned my beauty and theatrical makeup certificates, as well as certificates in lash lifting and tinting, brow lamination, and more. Continued education is so important to me! My favorite part of doing makeup is the look of awe my clients get when they look in the mirror. If I can help give you the confidence and self-love to shine, I’ve done my job right!

From start to finish, Jeff nailed it with our wedding music. We had some crazy requests and his expertise helped bring those visions to life. We wanted to give our guests a fun transition from cocktail hour to the reception so we came up with the idea of having a Mardi gras style parade. Jeff placed speakers along the path to allow this to happen. Our guests loved it! Throughout the night, he kept the dance floor engaged and kept the flow of our event running smoothly. We would recommend Jeff to anyone!!

The only thing that exceeds CT Wedding Groups reputation is their execution. Our day was flawless. Our coordinator Mary is simply one of one. There is no one better. She was on top of everything we needed before we knew we needed it. It was no surprise to us how impeccably she did her job after working with her right hand, Eddie. They were an absolute dream team that left us wanting for nothing. Coming into our wedding day we had a very specific vision. CT Wedding Group took our vision and turned it from a reality to a living dream. There are 0 critiques, there are 0 regrets, they delivered in a way that still has our loved ones reaching out to rave about their experience. It all seemed too good to be true, but it was better. The food. The food. The food. The food. The food. The food. More than anything else we are getting non stop compliments about the food. Their culinary team was just out of this world. Our event chef Jeff delivered on a level that you can’t even find at some 5 star restaurants. This was not wedding food. This was bliss. On top of all of this was the service. Just the perfect finish. The servers and bartenders took care of our guests like their own family. This experience was unlike anything we could have imagined. CT Wedding Group is astounding. We simply cannot recommend them enough.

Upbeat storytelling. Free-form and candid! Specializing in short form wedding films and classic full length documentary edits. I have a true journalistic shooting style which means I will never be directing you or posing shots. I want you to be as natural as possible around me and want those moments to reflect in your final edit. You will find my short form videos to be much more on the upbeat side than most without the extensive use of voice narration throughout the entire video.

Chad did an incredible job with our videos! He captured the small, candid, moments of the day and turned it into incredible videos that we will cherish forever! I hardly noticed him all day - he was very behind the scenes yet upon receiving the videos we saw how he captured every beautiful moment of the day in such a wonderful light! His artistry, attention to detail, kindness, professionalism, and videographer skills are incredible! We are forever grateful for sharing his craft with us!

Chelsea is AMAZING! We did our engagement shoot and wedding photos with Chelsea; my husband and I head over heels in love with how the photos came out. During all the time we spent with Chelsea, she made us feel so comfortable and natural. We loved how Chelsea let us be ourselves and captured all the beautiful candid moments of us together. She knows how to bring a good balance of candid photos and posed photos (which can sometimes feel awkward, but she made it so easy and fun!). She is insanely creative! We gave her some general direction of what photos we wanted and trusted that she could have fun and surprise us with the results. She more than delivered with this! Chelsea also is so impressive with her turnaround time for photos. Both our engagement shoot photos and wedding photos were returned to us so fast! Our wedding guests raved about the photos. We cannot wait to return to Chelsea in the future, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a photographer!

An absolutely wonderful videographer! Julius was so amazing to work with before, during, and after our big day. He was efficient, prompt, and a joy to work with. He and his assistant videographer Colby worked tirelessly to get the footage of our big day and they did so in a way that we always felt comfortable. I was nervous I would be hyper aware of the cameras, but I wasn’t at all. We received our videos and they are BEAUTIFUL. He truly is an artist.

After nearly two years meticulously planning our big day I just knew that we needed the right person to help us pull it off, and wow did Abby exceed expectations and boy did we wish we had worked with her earlier on. Abby truly went above and beyond for us from helping with our timelines and floor plan, to executing our decor and managing vendors on a VERY short load in/load out window, to instructing our family/friends. To this day our close friends and family continue to say how amazing Abby was and have had nothing but the highest words about what an incredible job she did so that we could all just be in the moment and enjoy our special day!!

Meghan is insanely talented and worked magic putting together such intricate hair style that lasted the whole day. All the adjustments we made during the trial were incorporated in the final hair which held up the entire reception! I truly had my dream hair for my wedding. I'm just speechless that she can recreate hair styles from just a photo! Bonus was having her do my hair for the rehearsal! It was totally different from my wedding hair, which shows how versatile she is! Also, I absolutely adore Meghan as a person! She was the perfect calm, peaceful energy I needed on my wedding day.

My name is Taylor — I’m a husband, father, teacher, ocean lover, and videographer / editor based out of CT and Cape Cod. I’ve been passionate about photography for as long as I can remember, and deep down I’ve always felt that capturing moments was in some way my calling. A few years ago I began to realize that photographs — even the most compelling ones — are not able to tell an entire story. They provide a powerful glimpse, frozen in time, but even the best photographs are unable to preserve memories and emotions the way that films can.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Taylor was an absolute dream from beginning to end. He was incredibly responsive, professional, and genuinely wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. From our first conversations, it was clear that he truly cared about understanding us, our relationship, and the vision we had for our wedding day. That level of thoughtfulness and intention made him stand out immediately. On the wedding day itself, Taylor went above and beyond. He was present for every important moment while somehow never feeling intrusive. His calm, kind energy made the entire day feel even more special. Knowing that he was there capturing all the little moments throughout the day really allowed us to live in the moment and not worry about making sure a memory was recorded. We initially chose Taylor based on the quality of his work online, but nothing could have prepared us for the videos we received. They are absolutely stunning!!! Watching them brings us right back to the emotions, energy, and joy of the day in a way that photos alone never could. His editing and storytelling are truly next-level — we were in tears at just the sneak peek video!! He truly captured the essence of our wedding day and all the important little details. The value Taylor provides is unmatched. Every penny was worth it, and we would make the same choice again without hesitation. Having these videos to relive such an important day is priceless, and we are endlessly grateful that we trusted Taylor to capture it all. We cannot recommend him highly enough!

Every detail from ample parking to a specific area for catering and a designated bar has been thought of so there’s less to stress about on the big day. This family-owned establishment is unparalleled, and we highly recommend Pachaug Cottages for anyone's wedding, family reunion, or other event.

  • Starts at $120
  • Serves Chaplin, CT

Welcome. When I first started my story, it started out with me as a young adult and starting my adventure down the road of cake artistry. Then I dug a little deeper and gave thought to what probably sparked my interest in cake decorating. Chocolate Rose Bakeshop is Griswold, CT’s fav Custom & Special Occasion Cakeshop. Our creations may look too good to eat, but they taste too good NOT to! At Chocolate Rose we take pride in creating cakes that not only look too good to eat but taste too good NOT to!

Chocolate rose bake shop made a delicious three layered cake for my wedding that consisted of chocolate cake and mocha buttercream as a filling, and vanilla cake with chocolate ganache. The cake tasted amazing and the green ombré effect they did to decorate the outside of the cake was beautiful!

Hi, I'm Tony, owner of ALM Photography.. I'm a seasoned photographer with over 12 years of wedding experience specializing in true to life, unfiltered wedding photography. With more than 25 years of dedication as an emergency room nurse, I bring a unique perspective and a keen eye for detail to every shot.

Tony did such a fantastic job with our wedding photos. He perfectly captured the atmosphere of our wedding and was extremely professional throughout the entire process. During our pre-wedding meeting, he did a great job walking us through different things he would want us to do in order to capture some incredible photos and timing them for the appropriate lighting. From start to finish it was an extremely smooth process with some incredible photographs.

We had Kelli’s cater our 150 person wedding. The execution by the staff was exceptional. Her food presentation is beautiful, and the taste is even better. Kelly’s industry experience was a huge plus as she was able to think of the important things for our big day. Our guests raved about the food and their experience. We have even attended two other weddings where Kelli has catered and have seen consistency, continued creativity, and have truly enjoyed how personable and professional the entire staff is.

Cori Alexandra Hair and Makeup Artistry 
Rating: 5.0 (10 reviews)
  • Beauty professional
  • Serves Chaplin, CT

Hi! I’m Cori, a bridal hair & makeup artist with over 11 yrs of experience in the bridal industry. I believe wedding day beauty is about more than how you look; it’s about how you feel in one of the most meaningful moments of your life. My goal is to create an experience where you feel confident, supported, & completely yourself. I work closely with you to design a look that feels timeless and elevated while still feeling authentic to who you are. Trials are held in my private studio where we take the time to refine every detail and ensure you feel fully confident in your vision. Above all, it is an honor to be part of such a special day.

Cori truly saved my wedding day, and I cannot recommend her enough! From the moment she arrived, right on time, professional, and completely prepared, I knew we were in good hands. She was warm, happy, and genuinely interested in everything that was going on, which made her feel more like a friend celebrating with us than just a hairdresser. She made me and my entire bridal party feel absolutely beautiful. Every single one of us showed her our inspiration pictures, and she matched them perfectly—down to the smallest details. She even brought a bag full of hair accessories to add those extra special touches. On top of all that, she graciously fit my niece in for an adorable “tiny wedding guest” hairstyle, which was completely unplanned. It meant so much to us! Not to mention the other 9 girls she had already done in a timely manner, all. by. herself. Cori is talented, professional, and such a joy to have around on a big day. 10/10 would recommend her for any event!

  • Serves Chaplin, CT

I was born and raised in the smallest little state, Rhode Island! With that comes a huge appreciation for the coast and a realization that magic can be found in even the smallest of details. Growing up in a small town where time seems to go by slower helped me learn the value of genuine connections which have now become apart of who I am.

Brianna Ritoli Photography LLC was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Brianna was proactive, helpful, and extremely professional. She took the time to understand our vision and let us enjoy our special day while seamlessly capturing the essence of it all. The quality of her work was simply beautiful and fun. The photos came out awesome and we had so much fun with her as our photographer. Brianna's approach of taking our lead and letting us be present on our wedding day was invaluable, and we are thrilled with the memories she was able to preserve for us. We cannot recommend Brianna and her team highly enough!

I first found the Riverhouse searching on Zola. My husband and I spoke with Holly for our initial appointment. Holly had light music playing over the speakers when we arrived, and when I walked into the ballroom and onto the dance floor, I looked at my now husband and said, “This is it, I hope they have a date in 2025 available”. The planning process with Kelley and the team was wonderful! The worksheets that are provided make planning easy and outline all the tasks clearly. We attended their vendor show which helped us determine exactly what we were looking for in our vendors to design our perfect wedding day. Our detail meeting about a month before our wedding day was smooth and we easily made all our banquet choices. A week before our wedding, we met with Holly to ensure our day of timeline was exactly how we wanted it – she totally nailed it day of! We have been to many weddings, and we believed that food was one of the most important parts of our day. We were blown away by the quality (and quantity!) of food at the Riverhouse. At our tasting, my husband and I ranked the appetizer, salad and dinner choices. The rankings were so high, we had trouble narrowing it down! It’s been about 3 weeks, and our guests are still complementing our food and saying how beautiful the venue was. The mac and cheese bar has been a HUGE hit with our guests. On our wedding day, Holly and Loretta kept everything smooth and seamless and both ladies provided a calming atmosphere when things started to feel chaotic (shout out to Loretta for grabbing me tums!). It truly seemed as if all the staff at the Riverhouse enjoyed our wedding event as much as our guests did! The food service was outstanding and went right along with our timeline, our bartenders were flawless, and we totally spied a little bit of dancing going on to our music and we were absolutely overjoyed! We would like to thank everyone at the Riverhouse for making our day amazing! We hope to see you all again sometime soon!
