Weddings by Ms. Ellie was an absolute pleasure to work with. Their communication was great - they were polite, responsive, and any questions we had were easy to answer. When it came to the quality of their work and the value they provided, they 100% nailed it!! They sent us a questionnaire ahead of time that we filled out, and Ms. Ellie incorporated all of that personal information and key details about our lives seamlessly into the opening remarks of the ceremony. She really took the time to make our special day feel truly unique and personal. If I could give them 10 stars, I absolutely would. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant to make our wedding day so special.

Hi! My name is Marisa Russo, the owner of ME Salon and Spa. I have been a stylist since 2014 and I opened this salon at 25 years old in 2021. I have been a bridal beauty expert my entire career. The places I have worked for have had many flaws, so I took my ideas and knowledge and put my heart into this bridal business to give Bride's and Bridal parties the best experience from start to finish.

Marisa, Monse, and 2 other stylists did hair and makeup for me, my 7 bridesmaids, and my mom and MIL. We all looked amazing and felt so beautiful. They allowed us ample time to get ready and were completely on time for everything. My hair was exactly what I wanted and stayed in place all day and night. With just a few tweaks from my makeup trial, it was exactly what I hoped for and photographed SO beautifully. Everyone in the salon was great at communicating, from booking our date, to scheduling trials, and confirming day-of timing, and pricing was so transparent!

We held our wedding at The Farms Country Club on November 1, 2025 and it was truly the best night of my life! The Farms Country Club was extremely accommodating with all of our requests from set up to closing the night. It was a one stop shop for us- we were able to get ready/glam there and have our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception on site. We selected to have the buffet option and all of the food was SO fresh and delicious! We received a lot of compliments about how good the food was from our guests. What truly made our experience exceptional was The Farms Country Club’s Wedding Coordinator, Kristi & staff. Kristi went above and beyond in every possible way. We are not members of the country club, but we were treated as if we were from the day we toured the venue. Throughout the planning process, Kristi made us feel supported, heard and genuinely cared for. No idea was too big or too small. On the wedding day, she was calm, attentive and ensured everything ran seamlessly, even when we had to adjust some minor details with seating arrangements and toasts schedules. We didn’t have to worry about one thing. Kristi felt like a lifelong friend after everything was said and done. If you are looking for a venue and staff to really cater to your wedding ideas and make it feel effortless, then I highly recommend The Farms Country Club!!! We truly couldn’t be more happy with The Farms CC grounds, staff and Kristi!

It was amazing having Gaby on-site on my special day. They were very accommodating of last minute changes. My makeup was flawless and lasted all day (and even the next day!). We had a little more trouble with my hair in the back, it fell flat a little earlier than I would have hoped, but could've been accelerated because of the weather (face framing lasted all night and that's what really matters). The makeup and hair on mother of the bride and mother of the groom was absolutely beautiful. I would recommend Brushed!

I love being able to bring that kind of beauty into peoples lives. I'm a small-town girl who enjoys anything that involves working with my hands from cooking to knitting. I'm a total animal lover (partial to dogs), a die-hard Grey's Anatomy fan, and I take my martinis extra dirty. When I'm not flowering in our studio in Milford, Connecticut, I'm mommin' to three amazing little boys (our dog Pippa and cat, Galaxy).

Kate brought my idea of a spring garden wedding to life. She over exceeded my expectations for all the bouquets and the bud vases throughout the room. She was very easy to talk through it all and really helped with showing a personalized portfolio to really showcase what to expect on our wedding day. It was so special to me and my mother-in-law to incorporate her wedding dress sleeve as the wrap for my bouquet.

I am a Connecticut-based wedding and portrait photographer obsessed with candid moments, real emotion, and the connections between human beings. I strive to capture life as we actually live it: full of beauty and roughness, joy and struggle, extravagance and simplicity. When I photograph you, I’m not thinking about getting likes on social media. I’m thinking about what will make your heart grow three times its size. I’m thinking about what will make you ugly-cry, looking back. I’m thinking about you seeing how awesome and truly loved you are.

Cate is simply the best, outside of just being a wonderful human, she is an extremely talented and experienced photographer. She was exactly what we needed as a wedding photographer, she captured every bit of emotion and happiness on our wedding day. She was our biggest champion day of, making the entire process stress free. She is very experienced in wedding photography and just does so much in the background to take care of every detail of the day. Her photographs are AMAZING, she somehow manages to be everywhere at once, and all her shots are just raw moments, nothing feels posed or staged and as a result you are left with beautiful photos that just showcase every emotion of the day. Honestly, I cannot recommend Cate enough, she is one of the best in the industry.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Carlene (hair) and Trish (makeup)! From start to finish, they were absolutely incredible — professional, organized, and so easy to work with. They were completely on top of everything, making the whole getting-ready process smooth, fun, and totally stress-free. They did hair and makeup for myself, the MOB, MOH and a bridesmaid. They used such high-quality products, and it showed — my makeup looked flawless all day and all night without even needing a single touch-up. And despite some pretty reckless dancing on the dance floor, my hair stayed perfectly in place and looked amazing until the very end. It survived hugs, kisses, people stepping and tugging on my veil, and dancing.

Makeup has always been a passion of mine, ever since I was little you could find me doing my mom, little sister, and grandma's hair and makeup. I always wanted a career in the industry but never thought it was attainable.

She also gave me great pointers on how to prepare my skin and hair leading up to the big day. Aleksandra was punctual, took the time to go through all of our options realistically, and chose colors that were simply perfect - colors I never would have considered on my own.

As a veteran DJ with 20+ years of experience and 250+ weddings, I create sophisticated, custom music programs based on your tastes. I handle all audio logistics—from timeline planning to day-of run-of-show. Pricing: Evening Celebration ($1,900): Cocktail, Dinner, and Dancing with 2 sound stations and polished MC services. Full Day Experience ($2,500): 3 sound stations plus my battery-powered ceremony system for vows on beaches or gardens—no noisy generators. My resume includes tours in the U.S./Europe/Japan, and playing alongside artists like Drake, Calvin Harris, and LCD Soundsystem. I bring elite professionalism to every event.

As someone with a background in the events and music industry, my standards for production are incredibly high. Edwin (DJ Konsept) completely exceeded them for my wife Emily and my wedding in Montauk, NY. From our first conversation, Edwin was the consummate professional. His communication is exceptional- he is highly responsive, asked detailed questions to understand our specific vision, took careful notes, and was completely open to direction. We gave him a complex, multi-stage run-of-show, and he executed every phase flawlessly. He managed our outdoor ceremony, providing perfectly balanced mics and audio so everyone could hear our vows. He then seamlessly transitioned to setting the mood for our outdoor cocktail hour, and ultimately closed the night out by crushing a high-energy indoor afterparty. He arrived over-prepared with backup equipment and intuitively grasped the distinct musical vibe needed for each portion of the day. Technically, Edwin is a master. His beat-matching, transitions, and ability to read a room's energy are unmatched. He completely avoided the typical "cheesy" wedding tracks, weaving together exactly the right mix to keep our guests engaged. Furthermore, his pricing is incredibly fair and transparent, offering immense value for the high-end talent and peace of mind he brings to the table. If you want an incredibly talented, stress-free professional who operates with style and a cool, collected energy, you need to hire Edwin. He made our wedding day absolutely magical!

I had collected more vases than I had originally planned on and Tracy ran with it. She made vignettes of large vases and bud vases, taking a fresh spin on things by using one flower type per vase. Her suggestions turned out even better than I imagined. Tracy’s professionalism and passion for her craft was evident throughout the process. The florals were one of the highlights of our wedding day, and we are so grateful to Tracy for her exceptional work. Thank you for making our special day even more beautiful with your incredible floral designs!

While I offer planning services for all types of events, weddings are my absolute favorite. I love working with people. I love making them laugh. I love love and I love watching each event unfold. This is literally my dream job and I am so grateful that I get to work in this amazing industry.

If you’re a bride on the fence about hiring a coordinator—trust me when I say you will want Raquel, in your corner. She is truly a saint dropped on this earth for brides everywhere! As a Type A bride, I knew I needed someone who could match my level of organization—but what I found in Raquel was so much more. From the moment we signed with her, she stayed consistently connected and fully invested. She never missed a beat when it came to vendor communication, design details, timelines, or logistics. More importantly, she took the time to truly understand us—our vision for the day, our personalities, and even our family dynamics (the good, the bad, and everything in between). Raquel is calm, collected, and incredibly organized—exactly the energy every bride needs. On our wedding day, she was essentially our stunt double: always in sync, always one step ahead! She greeted and managed every vendor, kept the day moving seamlessly, and allowed me to fully enjoy special moments with my bridesmaids without worrying about a single detail. She came prepared with her own wedding-day emergency kit—something I didn’t realize the value of until it saved the day multiple times. From reinforcing my bustle (more than once!), lint-rolling my husband’s jacket before photos, to literally sewing a groomsman’s ripped pants —Raquel handled it all effortlessly. You would never have known anything went wrong, because the entire day felt flawless. She has an incredible intuition—knowing exactly when to give us space to enjoy our guests and dance, and when to step in with support (whether it was another bustle fix or a quick heel-to-slipper change later in the night). Raquel doesn’t just guide you through planning and execute the day perfectly—she becomes fully invested in your wedding. She celebrates it with you, and even relives it when your photos and videos arrive, as if it were her own! Hiring Raquel was hands-down one of the best decisions we made, and we truly owe the seamlessness and joy of our day to her!

We got married here and it could have not been a better day. It was truly the best day ever. Everything was so seamless, no stress whatsoever. Suzie and Emily were the dream team! The entire staff at Great River was amazing, so helpful, and kind. The food was delicious. All of our guests loved the venue. The French fry bar at the end of the night was a hit! From the first meeting, to the day after picking up our wedding supplies, everything was so easy and seamless. The staff at Great River decorated and set everything up with no questions asked on our side! We had complete faith that they would set everything up perfectly and they did. The food tasting was also amazing! It was so fun meeting with Chef Matt. We even did the custom chocolates for our favor and they were the perfect touch. Thank you to everyone at Great River for making our special day, that much more special. It was the most perfect day.
