Our photographer recommended DJ Jason Mello, and as soon as we heard his name, we knew exactly who he was and that he would be perfect for our wedding. From our very first call, Jason was incredibly easy to work with and made us feel confident we were in great hands. He uses an excellent planning program that allowed us to work on our wedding music gradually throughout the planning process, which made everything feel organized and stress-free. On the wedding day, Jason brought incredible energy and passion to the music and kept the crowd entertained all night long. My husband and I never left the dance floor, and our guests are still talking about how much fun they had. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and highly recommend Jason to any couple looking for an unforgettable wedding celebration

Hi, I’m Amy! I’m a wedding planner and coordinator who genuinely believes your wedding should feel like YOU, not like a copy and paste Pinterest board. I’m passionate about the little details, the big emotions, and making sure you can actually be present for your day. I’ve been in the event world for years and have been called the “Mary Poppins of weddings” because I come prepared for just about anything. I’ll cry at your vows, fan-girl over your wedding look, and quietly handle the behind-the-scenes chaos so you can soak up every damn second. I’m fully insured, experienced, detail-obsessed, and absolutely love what I do.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Amy Melody, our wedding month-of-coordinator! From the moment we met her, Amy impressed us with her professionalism and enthusiastic demeanor. She was incredibly organized and experienced, which was evident in every aspect of her work. Amy was an excellent collaborator as we planned our wedding from scratch. During our virtual calls, Amy took the time to listen to all of our preferences, needs, and concerns during the planning process. Her excitement about our event was contagious!We had a site visit to our venue (Fort Getty in Jamestown, RI) and Amy arrived early to scout the location. When we arrived, she had a ton of great ideas for the event layout and had a back up plan ready for all of our concerns. Leading up to our big day, Amy created a detailed timeline that was shared seamlessly with all of our vendors, ensuring that everyone was on the same page. This meticulous planning gave us so much confidence that everything would run smoothly on our big day. On the day of the wedding, Amy and her assistant went above and beyond. They arrived extra early to set up our flower arrangement centerpieces and all of our decor, making sure everything looked perfect. When an unexpected torrential downpour began, Amy and her assistant remained remarkably calm and upbeat. Although we were in an open-air pavilion, Amy and her assistant handled the situation with grace and helped all of our vendors stay on schedule and remain dry. Amy had a bag of supplies a la Mary Poppins with zip ties, table weights, towels, umbrellas, and all of the other items that we could never have thought to bring, but made an incredible difference in the outcome of the day. During the night, Amy made sure the event ran smoothly. She seamlessly organized a buffet line, coordinated with our MC to make sure the speeches were on time, and ensured that the gifts and cards were secured before the end of the night. Amy was also accommodating to our families, ensuring that they were comfortable and had everything they needed. Thanks to Amy's dedication and expertise, our wedding day was absolutely magical. We are so grateful for her hard work and would highly recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking to hire a wedding coordinator!

They did an great job at our wedding & was amazing to work with. We definitely had a non-convential playlist, but he got everything we wanted & was super accommodating when we wanted to add a few last minutes songs a few days before the wedding. The setup he did outside was great as well & I thought it was especially nice that he came to check in on me when I was getting ready to make sure there wasn't anything else I needed.

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.

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!

I honestly don’t even know where to begin. Our experience with The Lakehouse—especially with Daniella—was nothing short of incredible. From the very start, when we were just debating whether to choose them as our venue, they were beyond helpful in finding a date and time that worked best for my now-husband and me. We're from Massachusetts but currently living in Arizona, so you'd think planning a wedding from across the country would be difficult. Not with Daniella. She went above and beyond to make sure I felt like I was getting the full red carpet experience despite the distance. She was always available to hop on a call, pulled strings behind the scenes to make everything perfect, and honestly felt more like a best friend throughout the entire process. I seriously begged her to just join the party at one point! If you’re on the fence about choosing The Lakehouse—do it. It’s worth every single penny. I could list a million things that went wrong during the overall planning process and even on the wedding day, but none of it had anything to do with Saphire Event Group. I also want to give a huge shoutout to Aubre and Cortney. While I didn’t work with them as closely as I did with Daniella, I met them the morning of the wedding and they instantly made me feel comfortable and welcomed. They advocated for me when I needed it, provided reassurance, and made me feel like I was their top priority the entire day. And yes—it rained on my wedding day. But I loved this venue so much that being inside didn’t even faze me. The transition from the outdoor setup to the indoor ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception was absolutely seamless. I honestly don’t know how this team operates with such perfection, but I’m telling you—they do. Thank you all for making me feel so supported and at home during one of the most vulnerable times in my life. And Daniella—a huge thank you for all your care, support, and empathy during the MAJOR bumps in the road. I truly don’t know what my wedding day would’ve looked like without you, I probably would've convinced Bryan top elope instead. One hundred time over, thank you SOO much Daniella, you're made for this. Your humanity went a long way for me and its because of you my day was perfect. LOVE YOU ALL!!! ps.. I'd like to add how attentive the servers and bartenders were. I saw them very little, however, when I did encounter them they were super kind and there to do one thing - amazing customer service. I only heard positive comments about EVERY staff member at The Lakehouse. I also cannot forget the chief, I was so overwhelmed by guest raving how top tier the food was. Thank you all for delivering the absolute best experience to our family and friend... and vendors!

Having Brendan DJ our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! From the first consultation call to the day of the event, Brendan was so easy to communicate with, and so flexible with our requests! We used his planning app to create a custom playlist which made the night so fun! He smoothly transitioned song to song which is something that I really appreciate! He had everyone dancing all night long! We also opted to have the Photo Booth at our wedding! It was a HIT! Everyone had so much fun taking photos, the quality of the photos was also so impressive!

Wedding advice: hire Cover Story Entertainment! We worked with CSE for our July wedding. We went with the ceremony package, 6-piece band as well as their uplighting and photo booth services. Our experience with CSE from start to finish was 10/10. Chris and Elena are incredibly organized, communicative, and responsive. They always answered all of our questions (and I asked many!) Alec, Alex, Savannah, and the rest of the band members rocked it all night. One of the first things guests commented on about our wedding was how amazing the band was. One of our guests commented that they wish they could cancel their DJ and fly CSE to their wedding in Portugal because they loved them so much. Extremely talented musicians for an awesome price, which make a huge difference when wedding planning. When we reflect on our wedding day, Cover Story is a huge part of what made it such a memorable night. -MK AJ Dunne

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.

...Saying Danielle went above and beyond would be a total understatement. She was so professional and responsive to my emails and calls and gave the most incredible advice that went beyond just photography. She understood our vision completely and worked endlessly to execute it. We had kind of a unique vision, involving having private vows with a private ceremony and then taking a boat ride to the reception. Since she hadn't shot at our venue before, about a month out from our wedding day she took time out of her busy schedule to meet us and walk through all the locations and map out the timing absolutely perfectly with the boat. She even came at the exact timing that the ceremony would be to find the best lighting in my fiancé's parent's back yard. She got us the sneak peak so quickly and we were truly blown away. I had very high expectations for the photos and she exceeded them completely. Our photos on the boat came out amazing and she just understood our simple/classic 90s vibe perfectly. Both of our moms commented on how hard Danielle worked the whole day and were so impressed with her professionalism. We couldn't afford a 2nd photographer but Danielle found a way to capture every moment we could possibly want. She was present but also gave us the space to feel every moment just us 2 which allowed us to be so comfortable and candid. Her photography is amazing but most importantly, Danielle is an amazing human being. I never expected to get so close to a wedding vendor but I can happily say we found such an amazing friend in Danielle. She truly cares, which just takes the photos and the experience to a whole other level. She is a true gem and I can not recommend her enough. I could go on and on with how amazing she was.

My mother was the first photographer in the family (30+ years in photography); she was my mentor, and my best friend… She recently passed due to cancer in late 2021. I've learned so much from her it’s indescribable. I’ve also have had the honor to be mentored at a young age by other acclaimed photographers and directors. Since childhood, I found that with photography, I could get to know people and at the same time capture emotions through images. Being able to translate feeling into an image is and will always be my lifelong goal. Multi published and award-winning photographer.

From the moment we first spoke with Alec from Special Day by Klevecka, we knew we had found our perfect wedding photographer. He is a strong communicator and went above and beyond to help alleviate any worries or stress we had throughout the planning process. His work is electric and modern, yet maintains a timeless and classic style - a beautiful pairing. Alec became a family friend the minute he arrived, making everyone in the bridal party and our family feel beautiful and welcomed. He took the time to capture all the little moments throughout the day, and the experience from our engagement photos to the wedding day was smooth and fun, not uncomfortable or awkward at all. We are in awe of our wedding gallery and are so grateful for Alec's hard work - he is officially part of the family now! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Alec.

Hey, I’m Britt! I’m a New England wedding photographer for couples who care more about meaningful moments than picture-perfect poses. I believe your wedding photos should feel like YOU. Bringing you back to the butterflies, belly laughs, and quiet in-betweens. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and rooted in connection. Whether you’re exchanging vows surrounded by a handful of your favorite people (+ fur babies), or sharing a first dance under the stars, I’ll focus on capturing the moments that truly matter. If this sounds like your vibe, let’s connect. I’d love to hear all about what you’re dreaming up!

My husband and I are not the type to get professional photos done — honestly, we probably would’ve skipped them altogether if my sister hadn’t entered (and won!) Britt’s Instagram contest. I’m so thankful she did, because this experience completely changed my mindset. Britt captured us so beautifully and naturally. The photos are absolutely stunning — especially the ones with that gorgeous golden-hour sunset. They’re the kind of photos we’ll hang on our walls and treasure forever, not ones that get tucked away in a box to be forgotten. She made us feel so comfortable and confident (which is saying a lot for two people who usually feel awkward in front of a camera!). And I loved getting to wear my wedding dress again — why should something that beautiful only get one day of glory? Thank you, Britt, for your professionalism, warmth, and incredible talent. We’ll recommend you to anyone and everyone looking for a photographer!
