Once we met with Kevin, we had high hopes for our big day, and I am not exaggerating when I say that Kevin blew our hopes out of the water. Kevin helped with audio for our ceremony, before doing music and speeches at our cocktail hour and reception. We requested a high energy dancefloor, with classics from all decades to get everyone on their feet, and wanted to have an insane dance party with our friends and family. He killed it. The energy on the dancefloor was impeccable, and Kevin delivered our vision PERFECTLY. He was so professional, but fun, and everything went very smoothly, no hiccups, no complaints. I would absolutlely, 100% recommend Kevin, and Main Event Entertainment, for anyone looking for a DJ for a wedding or event. You will not be disappointed.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with LE Glam Team on my wedding day! As a girl who grew up with problematic skin and fine hair that could never hold a curl, I was so impressed with my wedding day look and the confidence it gave me to get through the day. Lisa and Erin were a great team to work with; their communication style was responsive, clear, and informative throughout the entire planning process. They were detail-oriented, knowledgeable about various products, and truly client-focused, helping to ensure I looked and felt my absolute best. The team listened closely to my feedback while also providing honest opinions when I felt indecisive about the look during my hair and makeup trials. They also gave me great guidance on how to best prep my hair and skin for the morning of, which I swear made the biggest difference in my look lasting from the early morning hours to late in the evening. Equally as important, they took great care of my bridesmaids, who each have varying skin tones, hair thickness and textures that required styling, and everyone had nothing but great things to say about the results! I would highly recommend the LE Glam Team to any couple looking for a talented, professional beauty team to be part of their special day.

I cannot say enough great things about Hyla Brook Estate! From the very first virtual tour we took with Kim, we knew it was the perfect place for our March wedding. From start to finish, Kim and the entire team at HBE were communicative, helpful, encouraging, and kind. All my bridesmaids and many guests commented on how well-run everything was the entire day of the wedding. We had a slightly larger guest list for having everything inside, and Kim and her staff executed it all flawlessly. The space itself is STUNNING, and utilizing the Something Borrowed Collection is an insanely great value! I did all my own flowers and they let me get well over a hundred bud vases the day before the wedding. I brought all the vases to the venue filled on the morning of my wedding and Kim and Lindsey did an incredible job laying everything out. Top to bottom the entire process was just so easy. My guests had a great time, we had a great time - what else could you want?? We even got the most beautiful personalized care package from the team - wooden cutting board, soft blanket, candle, tumblers, canvas bag, etc. Thank you so much to Kim, Amanda, Lindsay, the Ashley's, and the entire staff at Hyla Brook Estate!!

Choosing the Red Barn for our wedding venue was the best decision we made!! The venue is absolutely gorgeous, the staff and on-site coordinators are absolutely incredible, and everything was so seamless from beginning to end, from the planning stages to the wedding day. Our venue coordinator Emily was a dream—she was so easy to work with and made the process a breeze: After we booked all our vendors ourselves and planned all our details, we met with Emily multiple times to talk about the day-of, and she was there on-site to make sure everything went smoothly (including setting up our decor, cuing the music and recessional/processional for our ceremony, keeping the timeline on track, and handling everything else that came up during the wedding day). Our day was absolutely perfect! She’s a superstar! For the venue itself, we can’t recommend it enough. The reception space is stunning, the foyer area for cocktail hour was perfect, and there’s a bridal suite for the bride/groom and bridal party. Staying at their sister property, the Stage House Inn gave us access to a shuttle service to and from the inn to the venue, which made the wedding day so easy (and the hotel is great!) We didn’t use the outdoor spaces as much because we got married in December, but we took some photos and the golf course and brick architecture were perfect backdrops. Overall, we really cannot recommend the Red Barn enough. From the absolutely amazing, friendly and welcoming staff (from the sales team to coordinators to catering and bar staff) to every single detail, we’re so happy with our wedding! If you’re considering booking the Red Barn, do it!

Kaileigh was an absolute delight to work through all phases of the wedding planning process. We enjoyed all our pre wedding meetings with her via video call and felt confident with all the decisions we made. Kaileigh communicated in a clear and positive way and knew all the right questions to ask which allowed us to feel relaxed during the wedding planning and during our big day without missing important details. She developed a day of schedule that we were able to review multiple times prior to it being shared with all our wedding vendors. Kaileigh and her team member, Paige, effectively instructed and organized our wedding party during rehearsal dinner to allow for adequate preparation while still encouraging us to have fun together. Kaileigh took the time to check in with both my husband and I day of to iron out any last minute requests and assure that we were stress free. Our wedding was a Maine beach wedding which meant many moving parts and unpredictable weather, but Kaileigh truly did an amazing job coordinating to assure that all our meaningful details and weddings dreams came to life. Thanks to Kaileigh and Paige's attention to detail our wedding day ran smoothly and our wedding was everything we ever wanted. We highly recommend Weddings by Kaileigh, LLC to any couple planning their dream wedding as this companies ability to advocate for the bride and groom while coordinating vendors is absolutely outstanding!

I knew I wanted good photos but I had no idea they would be THIS good. Every time I look at them I notice something new, like a hidden laugh or a sweet hug I missed in the moment. My favorite shot is my husband brushing a tear from my cheek, I didn’t even know they caught that. The colors are rich but not overdone, just natural and beautiful. The video is absolutely stunning too, it’s like reliving the entire day from start to finish. My mom cried watching it and said it felt like she was back at the wedding. They even got the little kids running around, which makes it extra special. The speeches, the vows, the dancing – all of it is there. I didn’t feel staged once, just comfortable and happy. That’s rare for me because I usually hate photos. These are treasures that I’ll hold on to forever. Worth every second of working with them.

Getting married at the Granite Rose was the best decision we made. The planning team there is absolutely amazing - Anna helped us through most planning sessions, and Jill was our day of coordinator - both amazing at their jobs. Between the Granite Rose staff, and the partnerships with many of our vendors, our wedding went off without a hitch, and we were actually able to enjoy the process. We had an absolute blast on our wedding day, and it was absolutley due to this venue and their staff. I do not think we would have enjoyed our day this much if it had been at a different venue. From the decor, to the food, to the bar, to the dancefloor, everything was amazing. Could not have asked for a better crew - Our banquet coordinator, Joshua, had the most amazing energy, and made sure that my husband and I always had what we needed and that any concerns were addressed immediately. Our bartender, Mariah, was great at her job, and remembered everyone's drink order the entire night. The food was phenomenal - so delicious and our Chefs Jim and Joe were able to accomodate every allergy/request with no fuss. Our entire crew was so professional and we are so impressed by the service they provided (shout out Tirk, Kiara, Jen, and Hunter). We would highly recommend using Wedgewood Weddings for your wedding/event, and in particular looking into the Granite Rose, and their awesome team! We loved it!

Hey! I'm a New England Native, queer 5' 4" bundle of fun, and your dream photographer! I'm passionate about documenting the beauty of joyful moments. I'm a sucker for beautiful light and love all the little details.

My husband and I chose Will as our wedding photographer based on the absolutely breathtaking photos that he took at our friends’ wedding. Photography was the most important financial investment to us when planning our wedding, and Will absolutely met all of our expectations and then some! Besides being incredibly enthusiastic, flexible, and easy to work with, his photos are some of the most beautiful I have seen. He has a keen eye and was able to capture even the simplest moments of our wedding day and display their beauty. He was a pleasure to work with and we are so happy that we chose him as our wedding photographer!

Chris captured our wedding day and we were blown away with the beauty of his photos! It's like we were there again, in each moment.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about The Everlee but we will try! From the moment we first toured this stunning new venue, we knew it was the perfect place for our wedding. The barn and pavilion are absolutely breathtaking, with every detail thoughtfully designed, and the outdoor ceremony space gave us the most magical backdrop for our day. One of the things that mattered most to us was having a truly private setting, and The Everlee delivered that perfectly. After touring several venues that felt like we would be on display, it was such a gift to find a place that felt peaceful, secluded, and completely ours for the day - it felt like home as cliché as it sounds. What truly made our experience unforgettable, though, was Andee. She went above and beyond for us every step of the way. Her planning and organizational skills are unmatched—she thought of every little detail before we even knew to ask. Even our families, bridal party, and guests had nothing but amazing things to say about Andee. Beyond her professionalism, Andee is genuinely kind, supportive, and calming, which made the entire planning process so smooth and enjoyable. On our wedding day, we were able to be fully present because we knew we were in the best hands. We wholeheartedly recommend The Everlee to anyone looking for a venue that combines beauty, privacy, functionality, and heart. And if you have the chance to work with Andee, consider yourself incredibly lucky—she is truly a dream coordinator and beautiful person inside and out!

  • Serves Dayton, ME

I'd say my photography style would be something along the lines of "lifestyle photography". [That means that posing you in silly ways that seem fake / awkward isn't really my jam.] I mean, unless that gets some snuggles & laughs. I'm ALLLL about that. I like to capture REAL life with REAL emotions and REAL smiles. Your session should be relaxed and fun. [All while I get some kick-ass photos!] I will most likely make a giant fool of myself at your session, so you'll feel like a professional. I sing, trip, laugh, make noises, mention inappropriate things, show my nerdiness. AKA YOU'RE GOING TO DO JUST FINE.

From the moment we reached out to april and Jordan/ Alba Lumos Photography, their communication was fast, witty, and amazing.

They helped me feel relaxed and took care of everything, allowing us to truly be present and soak in all the joy and love. We are thrilled with the stunning photos that will allow us to relive our wedding day for years to come. Alba Lumos Photography exceeded our expectations in every way, and we highly recommend them to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience.
