Becky and Anderson were amazing!! They beautifully captured so many important moments from the day! We met with Becky twice beforehand and she has a wonderful questionnaire you can fill out to let her know about any important details you want captured!

After one visit with Claudio at the Rotch Jones Duff House, my husband and I knew immediately that was the perfect spot for us to host our wedding. The Rose Garden was a stunning backdrop for our ceremony and the grounds provided plenty of space for our guests to eat, dance and celebrate. Claudio was so easy to work with, he was proactive in letting us know what he needed from us and provided so many tips and recommendations all throughout the planning process. The venue provided much of what we needed for the day, eliminating the need for excess rentals and even coming through a few times in a pinch with details we had accidentally overlooked. They were flexible in so many ways, accommodating all of our vendors and allowing for adjustments as we altered our guest list and changed our vision. Claudio answered every question, was quick to respond and provided invaluable insight for novice planners like us. On the day of the wedding, he was the silent star of the show; we had a day-of coordinator who was helpful and definitely necessary but it was Claudio who knew how to keep everything running exactly to plan and made the day feel completely seamless so I could focus on enjoying my time as a bride instead of stressing about the details of the day. Even our guests and bridal party loved him! From start to finish, working with the Rotch Jones Duff House was easily the best decision we made in planning our wedding. I can’t overstate how well worth the cost it was and how stress-free our experience with them has been. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the rose garden was and the stunning photos we took all over the grounds will forever speak for themselves.

My husband and I recently got married September 2023 at Hotel Providence in Rhode Island. Planning a wedding was one of the hardest things I ever had to do in my life. Finding the perfect vendor for each part of your wedding is hard. I spent many many days privately messaging people and trying to see who fits what I need for this day. I came down to the DJ. I found Josh of D and J entertainment. I read all his positive reviews and decided to give him a call. He without hesitation answered all my questions and drove from Massachusetts to Rhode Island to meet with us. Josh hands down is one of the coolest people you can talk to. He is very honest but in a good way. He lets you know was popular with weddings now and helps you out his spin on it. Josh’ company has amazing pricing. They are able to accommodate all weddings. With so much you have to pay for on this day it’s nice paying someone and feeling like your money is actually going to be used well with him. They arrived hours before the ceremony to set up. The hotel loved the company too and how polite they were. Josh came prepared with all the music we requested to hear that day. From the minute we walked down the isle to when everyone left. Josh kept playing amazing music. All night I wasn’t let down once by the song choice. In some areas the venue messed up on a few things. Example the cake cutting and first dance. The hotel really didn’t nail timing so josh Took complete control of the wedding and saved it truly. He made sure my cake cutting and first dance were memorable because the hotel slipped with this. Nothing like a DJ who saves the day too. The best part of it all while DJing Josh found time to take so many photos. He wasn’t asked or required to do so. He took it upon himself to take more professional photos for us. That’s what I call above and beyond. Couldn’t believe he went that far out of his way for us. Thank You josh and all of d and J entertainment. You made the Soares wedding the biggest success. We will never forget you or your amazing spirit and drive to make others day unforgettable.

It was so reassuring getting to meet her ahead of time and we cannot stop talking about what a great decision it was to trust her for our wedding day.

Becky was amazing from start to finish. We got the sapphire package. This was eight hours of photography and videography a full length video and 3-5 sneak peeks within 72 hours of wedding day. The engagement photos went off amazing. We were so excited for our wedding photos. Wedding day came on point. Becky and her team were phenomenal. They did a couple pose shots. They did a lot of candid. We did some nerdy Star Wars themed photos and everywhere I looked. There was a photographer or Mac who is doing a video anytime. I saw something that I wanted captured if somebody wasn’t already getting it they were immediately on it the quality of photos we got back for our sneak peek(156 photos btw with more to come!) was breathtaking.

Weddings are performance. You practice, you prepare, you dress up, and you tell a story. Your love story. I was a Musical Theatre major, and this makes me the perfect conduit to tell your love story in a cohesive and creative way. The way it was meant to be told. I started working in a portrait studio in 2008, and shot my first wedding in 2009. It was pretty obvious I was meant to capture these events and help translate them into art. I haven't stopped since. I am truly honored to be able to shape these memories for my couples, and consider it the most important part of my job.

Colleen was an incredible help planning our day from start to finish. She is fun and bubbly while also being organized and IN CHARGE on wedding day. We had to change locations for formal portraits as cocktail hour began, and she had us moved and back into the flow of things in minutes. What an incredible talent she is!

Your wedding is not a performance. It's the way you look at each other when no one's watching. Your hand finding theirs without thinking. My couples care more about what’s real than what looks good on a grid. They want gorgeous photos but also want them to mean something. The couples I work with have depth. Their stories have weight. They want someone behind the lens who sees them. Not just how they look, but who they are. Presence over performance. That's the closest I can get to naming it.

Danielle went above and beyond to make sure that my husband and I had the perfect wedding day. Within minutes of our first video call with Danielle, we were sure that she was the perfect fit for our special day. She has such a personal touch about her that really stood out to us immediately - she was so interested in getting to know us as a couple and as individuals. Continually throughout our wedding planning process, Danielle would check in with us to answer any questions we had, offer suggestions and advice when needed and discuss our visions for our wedding day. She brought all our wedding day visions to life through her photography and beyond that, she brought a calming, fun-loving and positive energy. She captured so many special memories on our wedding day - the raw emotion, the candid moments, the beautiful landscapes, the laughs and everything in between. By the end of the day, my husband and I, and our guests, felt like Danielle was apart of the family. When we got our sneak peak photos back, it was impossible for us to choose favorites because every photo is just incredible. I cannot say enough good things about Danielle. She is incredibly talented at what she does and she is such a kind and caring person. She exceeded our expectations in SO many ways and we are so thankful that we chose her to be apart of our wedding day.

The DJ sets the vibe for the entire night, and wow — Alex absolutely crushed it. We've been to a lot of weddings, and it’s rare to see a dance floor packed from start to finish, but he had ours full the entire night. Every song choice, every transition, every moment flowed perfectly — from the high-energy entrance all the way through to the very last song. Alex has this incredible ability to read the room and keep the energy exactly where it should be. He made the night seamless, fun, and truly unforgettable. As a bride, I felt like I had a lot of specific requests regarding timing of certain songs for the processional, recessional, first dances, etc. He exceeded my dreams. From ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner and reception, it was truly immaculate. Our family and friends have not stopped raving about him and basically the unreal journey he took us all on through music. I also surprised my husband with a saxophonist who was completely unrelated to Alex & Unique Sounds, but they were an INSANE dynamic duo. They worked together SO WELL, which again speaks to Alex's talent. I was SO happy to have him in my corner all night - aside from the incredible music, he is so fun and great to be around. If you’re looking for a DJ, seriously, stop looking — Alex is the one. Thank you, Alex, for giving us a night we’ll never forget and keeping the party going from start to finish!

I found it difficult to find a hair and makeup artist that was reasonably priced and did natural glowy makeup until I found Beth. Even with her travel fees she was significantly more affordable than many other HMUAs in the area and is so talented! As someone who doesn't usually wear makeup I wanted to make sure I still felt and look liked myself. Booking a trial was very easy, I did wish we had more time to talk about the look I was hoping for during my trial but I think the appointment before me was running a little behind, but she seemed to recognize that The wedding day was perfect!

From our initial facetime with Kelsey, to our engagement shoot, to our wedding day, she was an absolute pleasure to work with. I had a phone call with Kelsey 1 week before the wedding just so she could triple check we were all on the same page about wedding day. She created a tailored day of schedule for us which did not feel rushed. We always felt heard by Kelsey about how we envisioned the day. She gave us space but was still able to capture magical moments. She had such a calming presence during what can be a chaotic day and made us feel confident and our best during our portraits. Kelsey's second photographer Elyse who was working with her was also wonderful. She has a romantic, documentary style which appears effortless but still gives instruction on how to pose during portraits. She also got our sneak peaks to us in record time and was able to provide a generous amount of sneak peak photos just 2 days after our wedding. She estimated our full wedding gallery would take 8-10 weeks but we were pleasantly surprised when our wedding gallery arrived within 7 weeks and on my birthday! What a pleasant surprise and the wedding gallery was tailored, comprehensive and not overwhelming to go through. Our favorites ended up being from the sneak peaks speaking to how well Kelsey was able to comb through all of the photos and pick the best ones. We can't recommend Kelsey enough if you want a timeless, romantic documentary style photographer.

Hey everyone! My name is Kadasia! I started professionally working as a makeup artist in 2020! I’ve always loved makeup, and how it makes me feel, and love the opportunity to share that with others! I’ve made men and women look and feel their best on various occasions, from birthdays and photo shoots, to weddings and public appearances! As a mother of 2, I understand the importance of self care and feeling confident about yourself! I believe in inclusivity and equality and that everyone deserves to feel their best!

Kadasia was so helpful. I was planning a wedding from 3k miles away. She was affordable, willing to be flexible, and had great communication. She was booked for hair and makeup for myself and several others. She traveled to us in CT. She brought everything she needed and set up in a jiffy. She was on time and ready to go bright and early. Everyone’s hair and makeup looked great. If I traveled to NE again and needed to be done up for any occasion, I’d reach out to her.

The Lakehouse Venue was absolutely breathtaking—truly the perfect setting for our wedding day. From the stunning views to the beautifully maintained space, everything felt magical from the moment we arrived. What made the experience even more special was the incredible team. Every person we interacted with was kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our day unforgettable. They went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly and that we felt taken care of every step of the way. Kacey our event producer was truly the best possible person we could have had. From start to finish, she was attentive, responsive, and incredibly thoughtful in every interaction. No question ever felt too small—she always took the time to guide us, reassure us, and make sure we felt confident every step of the way. What really set Kacey apart was her balance of care and leadership. She brought such a calm, organized presence while also leading the entire process with confidence and professionalism. On a day that can feel overwhelming, she made everything feel seamless and manageable. We are so grateful for her support, dedication, and genuine kindness. Kacey and the Lakehouse played such a huge role in making our wedding everything we hoped it would be—and more. We couldn’t recommend it enough!
