We are awkward and camera shy people in real life, but she made us look STUNNING. I was shocked we had it in us. She is so calming and made the shoots so fun, that it brings out your authentic selves making the photos genuine and real. If you want a confidence boost, with unique and genuine photos, she’s your girl.

·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • Caterer
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Portsmouth, RI

Keane’s Wood-Fired Catering was founded by husband and wife team, Padraic and Kaylyn Keane. Padraic grew up working in his parents’ village pub in Galway, Ireland and moved to the United States in 2015 where he became fascinated with traditional southern barbecue. Padraic welded his first wood-fired smoker at the Steel Yard in Providence and Keane’s held their first catered event at Whalers Brewing in South Kingstown in 2016. Since then Keane’s has continued to build a reputation for exceptional food and service.

Awarded Best of Zola
There are a million reasons Keane’s has been awarded the top caterer in Rhode Island. It’s hard to put into words what their service meant to us throughout the wedding process. Alicia’s patience and attention to detail during planning, and her certainty that the day would go just as planned was very much appreciated as a nervous bride. Additionally, as someone with a laundry list of allergies, Keane’s took the time to sit down with me and create a menu that I could fully enjoy. To sum it up, the one thing we’ve heard from each and every guest since the wedding is, “Wedding food is usually fine at best, and that was one of the best meals I’ve ever had.” Highly recommend the brisket, cornbread, broccoli salad, and of course their chocolate chip cookies. Thank you to Keane’s for your exceptional service and your delicious food. You’ve got customers for life.

Blending luxury with authentic storytelling, the team captures weddings with a professional yet high energy approach. Known for timeless photographs, elevated service, and an effortless client experience, RDP creates imagery that preserves not just how your wedding looked, but how it felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a pretty nontraditional wedding and came to Ryan DeVoll with a similarly nontraditional vision for capturing the day. We didn’t want a lot of portraits or a long shot list, but someone to document our day with our favorite people. Ryan completely understood what we were going for and delivered beyond anything we imagined. After several planning conversations leading up to the wedding, we were confident photography was something we didn’t need to worry about — and the results speak for themselves. Ryan captured the pure joy that we (and our guests) felt throughout the day. Ryan was an awesome presence all day: professional and organized with great vision for locations, but easygoing, never intrusive, and somehow always in the right place at the right time. Also, genuinely funny — we honestly wish we’d had more time together! The photos feel cinematic and alive. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the day; we can hear the music, the words, the laughter. People who see them say, “Oh, you had exactly the wedding you wanted!” Ryan nailed it. If you’re looking for someone who can combine artistry with authenticity and tell your story in a way that feels truly you, we couldn’t recommend Ryan more.

Awarded Best of Zola
Finding a vegan bakery is hard, and finding one that does weddings can be even more difficult! Luckily, we were able to connect with Becky at Celebrated for our recent wedding. She came recommended by a couple close friends who worked with her for the desserts at their own completely vegan wedding a few years ago- we attended so we knew already how good the cakes and desserts are! From start to finish, Becky was so involved and helpful in the process. The tasting box is HUGE and full of your own choices and such a treat in itself honestly! The hardest part was choosing combinations, but she provides popular pairings and opinions if you need assistance. The pricing is very transparent, and if you’re torn between options, the pricing and quantities can be laid out in different pairings so you can really see what works best for you. We ended up going with a 1/2 sheet cake for serving and a smaller two-tiered display cake for cutting- the bottom tier got served as well and we took the top tier home! The design input provided is also so helpful. We were torn between a few different ideas, so I sent over my thoughts to Becky with some inspo boards, and she got back to me with her opinions and helped me make the final decision. We paired up with my florist, who provided blooms to decorate the tiered cake with, and it came out so beautifully. We couldn’t have been happier! We had such pretty, and more importantly, delicious cakes for our wedding. Would absolutely recommend to anyone, vegan or not!

Hi, I’m Nicole (she/her) - a Rhode Island-based wedding photographer. I have more than a decade of experience shooting weddings of all kinds - and today, I work collaboratively with my couples to create photos that evoke how their day felt. Photos of honest and emotional interactions; small details that hold weight and meaning; effortless portraits that capture the feel of the surrounding space or landscape. The result is a narrative visual story of enduring human connections, and a chronicle of emotional moments that they can revisit time and time again.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am so glad we chose to work with Nicole of Nicole Marcelle Photography. She captured absolutely stunning photos of our small wedding in Providence, and we are still blown away by how beautifully she documented the day. Nicole was professional, funny, and incredibly easy to work with. She offered so much helpful guidance and had a great eye for posing and locations, which made us feel really comfortable and at ease. One of the biggest highlights was how seamlessly she took charge when needed—corralling guests for group photos and keeping everything moving without ever feeling rushed. It allowed us to relax and truly enjoy the moment. We chose Nicole because we were impressed with her portfolio and knew she had photographed at our venue, the Providence Athenaeum, before. Her familiarity with the space showed in every shot; she captured the magic, atmosphere, and little details of the place perfectly. She also made sure my red wedding dress truly POPPED in the photos. Nicole’s work is an incredible investment—her photos are something we’ll treasure for years to come. If you want a photographer who can capture the emotion, beauty, and ambience of your wedding day, we highly and wholeheartedly recommend her.

The Golden Scroll Soloists have been wowing Northeast audiences with a variety of styles for 20 years, melding familiar songs you love into an elegant string quartet experience. We helped popularize the "crossover string quartet", much like the Vitamin String Quartet, during the early days of classical crossover. Our style, now made mainstream by Bridgerton, predated the Netflix hit show by 15 years. We're ready to play for your ceremony, your cocktail hour, or maybe even your reception. Choose from a string quartet, string trio, string duo, or violin soloist. Let's start planning the soundtrack to your happily ever after!

Awarded Best of Zola
Apparently, my now-husband is extremely picky when it comes to string quartets. When looking for a string quartet for our wedding in June 2026, we listened to recordings from every available vendor in the Rockland County/Westchester area. Golden Scroll were not only the best sounding, but also were incredibly friendly, organized, and accommodating to our requests. Their song list is MASSIVE and yet they included learning two new songs at no extra charge to allow our playlist to be even more meaningful to us. Kevin was extremely responsive, and was less worried than we were about the 15% chance of rain on the day of the wedding. The performance itself was amazing and our guests raved about it all evening. They didn’t flinch when our robot flower girl came straight towards them! Couldn’t recommend hiring Golden Scroll more for your special event!

She was so communicative and attentive to several ad hoc changes and requests. Brittany created bouquets/displays that were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! She was intentional about helping select flowers that would match our theme and make sure our pictures looked magical, but would last in the summer heat.

Galilee Beach Club, and EVERY single person who works there, is a literal dream come true. When I was just shopping around, I compared every other venue to Galilee. None compared. The entire process was made so easy by Emily, their event coordinator. We would meet over zoom throughout the year, and she would give us tasks to complete before our next meeting. And as someone who is type-a, anxious, and therefore does not enjoy planning events, Emily made this process so easy and seamless. Thanks to her, I actually was able to truly enjoy my engagement. From the very beginning, to the very end, the customer service was above and beyond. It was so incredible, even my guests were racing about the servers, the bartenders, Emily, literally anyone working our wedding night. My guests and myself loved the food, the location, the people, everything. One guest said it was her dream wedding, and I couldn’t agree more.

They were more than willing to trudge through our favorite park and stop at all our favorite spots to get some beautiful photos we used for our save the date. We got to get to know them a little more over at our favorite little ramen restaurant after the session and of course we were instantly sold! Meaghan was super communicative and responded to every email I sent her pretty much right away every single time. As we got closer to the wedding day, she sent an incredibly detailed questionnaire. It covered everything from our most important shots to what weird family dynamics she should be conscious of; we sincerely appreciated this level of care, especially as a queer couple with some iffy family things. When I was hiring vendors, it was extremely important to me to find vendors who were queer/queer friendly and body positive, and Meaghan checked off both boxes in spades. My wife and I both have huge body insecurities and are deeply self-conscious of photos-but Meaghan made us both feel so beautiful. I was never even aware of the parts of myself I am usually hyper aware of because Meaghan and Evan both made us feel so comfortable. We were able to laugh and feel every emotion without once worrying about how we would look in the photos. On the day of, Meaghan kept us right on track without rushing us or making us feel stressed. We were definitely running behind at points but Meaghan handled it all with grace and helped me keep my head above water the whole time. They captured every moment in such a storybook way that we are able to talk about and remember every detail of the day based on the photos. This gallery is such a keepsake and such a special reminder of the best day of our lives. Its so heartwarming to look back and see how happy we and our guests look. And my wife and I both couldn’t have asked for more stunning photos of ourselves. We both look and feel so feminine, so whimsical, so magical. She captured our authentic selves, which is what makes her photos so unique and beautiful. I can't wait to order our prints and have these photos in our home forever! Thank you, Meaghan and Evan. There's so much more I could say but I'll leave off with, we are so grateful to have had you on our day. We love our photos so much. And we can't wait to have you do another shoot for us sometime in the near future! We cannot recommend you highly enough!

Joey G is like my cool uncle except he’s got sick DJ skills. He did our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Not only was he professional and organized, but he also brought an incredible energy to our wedding. For the ceremony and cocktail hour, we provided him with a specific music selection, and even though we never rehearsed together, he nailed it perfectly. During the reception, we gave him a playlist, and he struck the perfect balance between sticking to our choices and reading the crowd to keep everyone dancing. One highlight was when Joey G handed the microphone to people in the crowd, turning our reception into an impromptu karaoke party. It was a blast! He was not only fun and engaging but also very attentive to our needs. He asked how to pronounce each name correctly for the toasts, ensuring everything went smoothly. We requested that he not take song requests, and he respected our wishes completely. The sound quality was stellar, and his equipment setup was flawless. Joey G understood our need for clean music as we had many families with young children attending, yet he still kept the atmosphere lively and fun. The dance floor was packed with all 150 guests! Joey G was also a great help with announcements, coordinating toasts, and working with friends and family to announce the newlyweds and photo groups. His flexibility and attention to detail were impressive. Overall, I highly recommend Joey G to any couple looking for an awesome wedding DJ. He provided a questionnaire that made the whole planning process so easy, and his execution was simply fantastic. Joey G truly made our wedding day unforgettable!

Nicole Bartlett Beauty was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From our first consultation, Nicole's communication style was focused, straight to the point, and she was a great listener. She and her team were incredibly organized, creative, and perfectionists, ensuring that all of the hair and makeup for my large wedding party was executed flawlessly.
