Willow Photo Co. was a dream to work with from start to finish. Their communication style was quick, easy, and painless - they were always responsive to our questions and made sure we had a solid plan in place for our wedding day. They were passionate, dedicated, and paid incredible attention to detail when capturing all of the special moments we had planned for. They were great to work with, and we loved having a video chat with them a week before the wedding to go over the timeline and make sure everything was set. When our hair and makeup ran a little behind, they were flexible with their original itinerary, ensuring the process remained painless. We are so excited to see what they create for us. We would highly recommend Willow Photo Co. to any couple planning their wedding.

My philosophy for music is, "You bring the dancers and I'll bring the music".  I'll take your requests and my years of experience and turn your wedding into something your guests will never forget.  In order to play the right song at the right time, it's all about observation and knowing your crowd.  As I am selecting and mixing songs, I am attentive to everyone's reaction. Years of performing gives me an understanding of action and reaction... an easier way to put it is, I know how to rock the socks off your wedding!

Our June 2024 wedding at Quidnessett Country Club was everything we dreamed of and more, thanks to Shane! From the very beginning, he was so easy to talk to and made planning such a breeze. He was confident, organized, and really listened to what we wanted, which made the whole process so much less stressful. Knowing we had him running the show on our big day let us just relax and enjoy every moment. The reception was an absolute blast! The dance floor was packed all night, and Shane kept the energy high with the perfect mix of music. Our guests had so much fun dancing, and we’re still hearing about how amazing the party was. On top of that, the Photo Booth was a huge hit! People couldn’t get enough of it, and we love having all the hilarious pictures as memories from the night. If you’re looking for someone who’s professional, fun, and truly knows how to throw a party, Shane is your guy. Thank you for making our wedding unforgettable!

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I absolutely adore Kristen. Trying to pick a photographer was an overwhelming decision for us due to the fact that there are so many different styles and we weren’t sure what we were looking for. But once we talked to Kristen on the phone we knew she was the perfect fit for us. Her energy over the phone was so infectious and made us excited to get in front of her camera. Our first time meeting her was at our engagement shoot. We decided to go with a sunrise beach session and Kristen showed up with energy and ready to capture our love. She was down to do any pose and was always hyping us up on how perfect our pictures were coming out. We had so much fun and were just able to relax and be ourselves. This all translated into the beautiful pictures we received from Kristen. From the time of our engagement shoot (July 2023) to our wedding (September 2024) Kristen was always checking in to see how we were doing and how excited she was to shoot our big day. It was so awesome to have constant check ins with her!! The day of our wedding (9/21/24) was so amazing thanks to Kristen. She was with us for majority of the day and always made sure to hype us all up and to make sure I knew I could take breaks from pictures at any time. All of our guests absolutely loved her as much as my husband and I do. 10/10 would recommend her for any photography services. She is amazing to work with, takes beautiful pictures, and is professional but also knows how to have a good time.

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!

Luke’s originally started as a Record Store by the name Luke’s Record Exchange, started by Luke T Renchan. As years progressed, Luke T decided to start a Disc Jockey Company in 1983. This was an instant success. Before long, Luke T had eight employees doing events for him. Many years passed and his son Luke B showed an interest in what his father was doing. At the age of 9, Luke B would accompany his father and observing every move he made. Gradually he was allowed to make steps till he was able to do his own events.

Everyone from grandparents, friends of parents, to friends of the couple are still raving about how great the DJ was! He kept the energy high and everyone dancing all night long!

Girl Talk Beauty Bar 

5.0

  • Beauty professional
  • Starts at $130
  • Serves Oakland, RI

With over a decade of experience in the beauty industry, I am a passionate makeup artist based in Newport, RI. I thrive on building connections with my clients, understanding their needs, and creating looks that enhance their natural beauty. My mission is to make everyone who sits in my chair feel confident and beautiful while delivering a flawless application that they can trust.

The team at Girl Talk Beauty Bar was incredible to work with for my wedding day look. Dustyn’s communication is open, easy, and quick. We planned our surprise wedding in 11 days (which I don’t recommend) but Dustyn was able to fit me in last minute and gave me the most perfect subtle yet sparkly makeup that I was after. The quality of her work is amazing, with a detailed and individualized approach to ensuring I looked and felt my best. Dustyn listened closely to my vision (and put up with the nonsense amount of photos I sent her looking for advice) and executed it flawlessly, helping me feel confident and beautiful on my big day. I couldn't recommend Girl Talk Beauty Bar more highly for any bride-to-be looking for a talented, professional, and personalized beauty experience.

DJ Alex Brown Entertainment

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Oakland, RI

DJ Alex Brown has over a decade of experience providing dance floor filling DJ and MC services for weddings and events. He offers a full range of standard services for weddings such as uplighting, custom monogram, ceremony and cocktail music, and more.

Alex DJ'd our wedding on 09/10 at Bonnet Shores. He handled the sound system on the beach for the ceremony and the reception. Alex was spot-on day-of, getting all the sound right, music selection, lights, etc. He also had experience working with many of the other vendors we hired, and so he worked directly with them to coordinate. Biggest thing though was his flexibility with adding and adjusting the contract in the lead-up, and providing recommendations for music, lighting, and set-up. Alex is truly passionate about his profession, and I'd highly recommend working with him for any occasion where you need an experienced DJ.

Mallory was incredible! She rearranged my timeline when we were running late and still fit in pics with everyone important. She was helpful and responsive to my needs. She even took my dog to pee when nobody else was available and I was having trouble waking in my dress. She was fun to have at the wedding and had great prompts and energy that helped us get beautiful photos. Her editing style is so cool and helped bring my vision and vibe to life. She sent sneak peeks later in the night after my wedding and they are all stunning. I’m so happy we booked her for our fall wedding.

Keane’s Wood-Fired Catering (originally named Boru Barbecue and Catering), was founded in 2016 by husband and wife, Padraic and Kaylyn Keane. They have brought together their love of wood-fired barbeque with fermentation and locally sourced products.

I don't even know where to begin - our wedding wouldn't have been the AMAZING event it was without Keane's! We will be forever grateful for their hard-working staff, delicious food/bar services, and of course KYM! Kym was my main point of contact from the beginning of my wedding planning - every single thought/question I threw her way, she had a helpful answer that was prompt and kind. We ended up having Kym add on service as a day of coordinator - and my family is still talking about how much of a rockstar she was. All of my guests that I interacted with that day, and now after, have commented on how lovely all of the catering staff was, and how truly great the food was. I am dreaming about the brisket meatballs, bluefish crostini and mac and cheese. I also had a guest who told me the bar staff made the best margarita they have ever had! We seriously cannot thank this team enough, and I just hope that I am lucky enough to go to another event that they are a part of. I wish I had photos to share of the amazing food, but just know that you will not be disappointed! THANK YOU!!!

Whether you know exactly what you like or are looking for suggestions, we will work together to find something just right for you.

Jackie at Petallion Floral was the absolute best choice we could have picked to do the flowers for our wedding. Flowers are very important to both me and my husband since both of our names contain flowers and as a special symbol throughout both our lives before we met and together. From the very beginning, I had a good feeling about Jackie because I could tell she really cared about our vision, even before we had confirmed her services, we had gone back and forth a bunch of times and she offered up some lovely ideas. She was very reachable, flexible and attentive and we had a super helpful meeting in person to go over all our ideas, she stayed longer just to make sure we were all on the same page and she knew what we wanted. She went the extra mile to make sure some specific ethnic flowers we asked for were on the arrangement menu! On our wedding day, she made everything go smoothly and the flowers looked BEAUTIFUL!! We got several compliments about how gorgeous they looked and our ceremony arch looked spectacular, as did my bridal bouquet and our reception table arrangements. We couldn't have asked for a better florist, aside from being a genuinely kind hearted woman and pleasant to work with, she worked with us to stay within our budget and did not gouge us like so many others in the business. Whoever else you are considering for your floral needs, do yourself a favor and pick Jackie. She is the hands down BEST!!!

Going into wedding planning I knew florals were going to be incredibly important to my day. When I initially met with Talia she pulled florals she had in her shop to show me examples of what she’d give me in my arrangements. I was able to see actual examples of the flowers besides just pictures. Throughout the planning process I was able to be in touch with Talia with any questions or changes I had. Come wedding day I had full confidence in Talia to set up everything at my venue and when I showed up I was blown away by everything. Everything was exactly how I had pictured it and even better. Talia is truly an amazing florist and person and you will not regret booking with her!!

We are a results oriented company with a proven track record. It's never about us and always about you. Performance and listening to your vision is always prioritized over compensation. Message us today for a straight shooter approach to great wedding entertainment.

I cannot say enough about Ra-Mu and his DJ services. My friend hired Ra-Mu about 2 years ago for her wedding, and we were on the dance floor the entire night. When I finally got engaged myself, we didn't have to do any further searching/researching for wedding entertainment. From start to finish, Ra-Mu gave us an amazing experience. We purchased the social media photobooth as well, and Ra-Mu even threw in print outs of our guests photos for them to take home, and a book with each guest photo glued in/space for guest signature. I didn't anticipate this added touch, and could not be more thankful for those added memories. He is client-focused, and just overall an awesome DJ! He is a friendly, funny, hardworking, person who I would recommend to anyone planning a wedding! Thank you for an amazing experience to Ra-Mu and his team. I hope I see you again at another wedding soon!
