Working alongside Samantha from Forever And A Day Coordination was a game-changer.

I am a Filipino and so is my bridal party. I really needed someone who understood an Asian face. I also needed someone who could listen to me, my needs and those of my party to help us all look and feel our best. Rie delivered and more! From planning the day and on our trial, Rie was very kind, open to suggestions and creative when it came to my vision. She was patient to try out the different hair dos I wanted to sample. On the day, she amped up her talent and made me look even more beautiful than when she met me for a trial. Even my FIL thought so! You know it’s real when men notice! Haha. She also took care of my mother, who is hard to please, but was able to say good things about her hair and make up that same day too. Overall what a beautiful experience. I kind of want to get married again just to be able to redo the whole beautification and process! And of course that is only possible with Rie. Many thanks Rie!!! Pics from Nathalie Garcia

When working on wedding planning, we knew right away that we wanted to use nectar& bloom for our florals. We wanted something fun, unique, and just not what you always see at most weddings in our area. Lisa and Ann Marie were amazing in their communication and breakdowns of what could work with our budget and venue space, and were very adaptable and helpful as changes came along the way! We had high expectations coming into our wedding day, but they were absolutely blown out of the park once we saw everything come to life! From my bridal bouquet to the AMAZING floral arch and centerpieces, we were absolutely thrilled with how bright, colorful, fun, and unique our florals were. Our guests are still raving about the flowers that we had, and I even sent out our flowers to be preserved so that I have this amazing piece of our day treasured forever. I would highly recommend using the n&b team for your wedding day; whether you are looking for something more traditional or going for something more unique and personalized, you are in great hands with Lisa and Ann Marie designing your dream day!!

Words cannot adequately describe how amazing, flawless, and special our experience was. From day one, Stephanie's professionalism, eye for detail, true love for photography, and desire to capture the essence of our love story was very clear. Although we are a bit further from Stephanie (eastern MA residents), she committed to coming to southern CT to meet us for our engagement shoot and then to central MA for our wedding. When we were surprised by a pop up thunderstorm right before our ceremony on the big day, Stephanie acted not just as our photographer but as a friend and helped us navigate the nerves and emotions of the change from outdoor to indoor ceremony. Her photos are exactly what we were looking for. When we view them, we are transported right back to that day, and every emotion, every hug, every sentimental moment is there for us to cherish. We HIGHLY recommend Stephanie and her beautiful photography and plan to work with her for many more years to come.

Writing this is hard because I do not have enough words to describe how amazing this place is. Every single person who works there treats you like family. I felt like I knew Jerry, the owner, my whole life. We had eaten there a few times leading up to the wedding when we had to visit the venue for whatever reason, and each time we were blown away by the food and the service. We decided to book Jerry and the Mermaid for our rehearsal dinner and our after party. For the rehearsal we did a buffet, which was probably the best buffet meal I've ever had. I find that usually buffet meals are kind of lackluster, but this one was literally so delicious. The back room was set up so nice, the staff was over the top amazing, and everything really went so well. I got emotional because of how kind everyone was being to me. I literally felt like Princess Diana the night before the royal wedding lmao. Then for the afterparty, we bought out the whole space for 2 hours. They had an incredible bar staff who was able to handle the volume of people we had with no problem. They set up some apps for everyone to munch on and OMG IT WAS DELICIOUS. Seriously, the best potstickers I've ever had in my life lol. I could go on for days about Jerry, his staff, and this restaurant, but I will spare you all of the babbling lol. Seriously, please book this place. And if you aren't getting married in the area, do yourself a favor and go out there for a meal one day lol (get the tuna!).

From the beginning to the end Jessica was almost like an angel from above! Any questions no matter how stupid or how silly she always responded! Rob was amazing and Jancey was literally an angel! I would get married again just to have it there and will definitely be having my baby shower there! We love you all!!!

  • Serves Melville, NY

Madison incorporates her photojournalistic and editorial style with a laid back approach so you can enjoy every second of your wedding without the added pressure of staged memories (I mean some things have to be posed but we make it fun). She makes sure your day runs smoothly while capturing real, raw moments and makes the photo part "quick and painless" so you can get back to your family and friends to enjoy every detail put in to your event. We specialize in naturally lit and low lit weddings. Flash photography and studio lighting are used as necessary to create clean, artsy images.

Working with Madison was an absolute dream. She made me feel comfortable, relaxed, and made sure we were all having fun! She captured the most beautiful moments from our special day . She went above and beyond and I can’t thank her enough. The images we have from the wedding, I will treasure forever. Also, she got out a batch of images so quickly after the big day which was just so fun to see.
