Awarded Best of Zola
Just absolutely outstanding, every step of the way. We hired Ariana and her company to play music for our entire wedding (ceremony & reception). A string quartet and drummer. Wouldn't hesitate to hire them again. Our guests were both surprised and filled with wonder at how the music fit seamlessly with the wedding: that's the beauty of the art and the professionalism that that Ariana String Groups brings. Ariana's group learned a new song especially for me, and it meant so much for me to hear it at the wedding (Both Sides Now, by Joni Mitchell). One of the incredible things about Ariana and her company is that they aren't just about the music: they help you every step of the way. We needed help and advice on many "things wedding" and Ariana not only helped us make decisions, but she and her team stepped up and coordinated when we needed help. Music is extremely important in my life, but I had some very specific requirements for the wedding because of my own needs. Ariana never hesitated - she was a true partner. It was a blessing to not have to worry about something I needed to go right. Fabulous.

I am beyond happy that we chose to have Ben as our videographer at our wedding. We hired Ben before the pandemic hit and then had to make the difficult to decisions to push our wedding back...multiple times. Throughout all the various postponements and rescheduling, Ben was unbelievably supportive, kind, and understanding. In our communication, he was empathetic and considerate, making us feel truly valued and cared for. When we were finally able to get married, Ben was fantastic. He managed to capture all of the beautiful moments of the wedding that we might have otherwise missed, and his footage really captured the energy and personality of us as a couple. He sent along the footage in a timely manner, again with thoughtful communication. He also made a beautiful highlight video that felt like he really knew us and understood what mattered to us. Overall, Ben went above and beyond in his kindness and communication. He is a person you want with you in the planning process, on your wedding day, and afterwards!! We are so happy to have worked with such a wonderful, thoughtful person!

Sara from Muse Art Co was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding florals. From the very beginning, her communication was so responsive - she sent us several vision boards to help us nail down the look we were going for, and we had several calls leading up to the big day to finalize the details. On the wedding day, Sara and her team truly outdid themselves. The florals were above and beyond our expectations, and everything looked so cohesive and beautiful. We loved her incredible idea to create our bridesmaids' bouquets out of single florals and incorporate them into my own bouquet. The quality and value of Muse Art Co's work was exceptional, and we couldn't have been happier with the results.

We used them for rentals and got our tent, tables, chairs, linens and dance floor from them. But the most awesome thing they did was with the lighting in the tent. It was a combo of up lighting (I think thats what its called) and string lighting which really set the mood. Everything was delivered and set up on time and looked great!

We even saw a bunch of people who say that they never dance at weddings filling the dance floor. Highly recommend Matt and Style Points!!

  • Officiant
  • Offers 8 ceremony types
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Marion, CT

Why settle for the same clichéd, predictable service everyone else uses? You're unique, and your wedding should be, too. I'll work with you to design the perfect ceremony to match your own individual style and personality.

A few hours after my husband and I got engaged, I asked him, "What if we just had a super tiny wedding and got married in a week?" Cue a mad scramble to find an officiant, photographer, and venue. We had already spoken to one potential officiant who didn't ask us any questions or tell us what he was planning to do—not great—so when our photographer recommended Dave, we were thrilled he was available. When we met up over Zoom to talk, it was clear he's very smart and funny, and loves love without being mushy about it. He crafted a ceremony that was short and sweet, complete with a reading that was a great match for us. I loved that he sent us the full script with free rein to adjust it to our liking. I, an endless word-fusser, only made one small change. On the day, he was already laughing with our witnesses when we arrived, and it set the scene so beautifully for us to have a joyful, laid back ceremony. It was perfect. He's happy to provide ideas but really wants the ceremony to work for you as a couple. He'll talk about his outfit options for you to choose from. (We went with a navy suit but he has a rad hot pink one too if that fits your vision. I suspect he would gamely wear an Iron Man costume or KISS makeup if that were your dream.) That open thoughtfulness extends to whatever kind of ceremony you want—big or small, religious or secular, traditional or offbeat. Zero judgment, just a steady stream of smart questions, good ideas, and caring support. And he writes the best emails. I haven't laughed that hard or felt so sparklingly clever in writing in years.

Hey there, I’m Shukhrat, a proud husband, a father and an artist. My love for photography started about fifteen years ago with photojournalism. Today, I continue to utilize my skills in capturing beautiful wedding and portrait moments that evoke the same emotions as the real moment. My photography style is diverse and has been refined over the years to showcase my creative vision. I am all about creating stunning, timeless artwork that truly captures the essence of a moment in true to life colors.

Awarded Best of Zola
Shukhrat and his wife Rachel just shot our June 8th wedding and we couldn't be happier. They were amazing to work with and the photos are phenomenal! About the pictures: Shukhrat is versatile and very skilled. When we took our engagement photos he provided us with various styles of photos and editing, and then used our feedback to guide the photos he took at our wedding. He is also flexible. We got married in a city park and there were wayyyy more people in the park than we were expecting at 6:00pm at night. Without missing any of the candid details or true-to-life colors that we wanted, Shukhrat was able to frame the photos and/or alter the lighting so that the park goers were barely visible in the background. Both Shukhrat and Rachel are also very skilled at giving direction when needed, but letting you do your own thing the rest of the time. Neither my husband nor I have a lot of experience in front of a camera—they gave us enough direction to feel confident, without making us feel stifled or overly posed. We wanted photos that felt organic and genuine, and they were really able to capture that. Working with Shukhrat and Rachel: The two of them were a dream to work with. Incredibly professional--very communicative, punctual, quick turnaround time on photos. And they are also just lovely people. You spend so much time on your wedding day with your photographers, it's really important to feel comfortable with them, and we certainly did. They brought both a fun, but calming energy, easing our pre-wedding jitters before the ceremony, and leaning into the excitement as the night went on. Although we hardly know them, they felt like friends. We are so glad we booked Shukhrat for our wedding!

Without Fernie, we aren't sure our wedding would have happened! We hired Fernie as our Day of Coordinator, and met with her several times via zoom to go over details. She reviewed our materials and created a timeline for our day. She asked questions that made us think about details we might have overlooked. She did a site visit with us, ran our rehearsal, and was with us every step of the way on our day. Our wedding did not go as plan, and on the fly we were able to create a back up plan. Fernie contacted all of our vendors, and we all managed to arrive at the location around the same time. Over all, we were lucky to have her on our team!

Finding the right wedding photographer is very important! Each of my clients (turn friends) are extremely special to me. We will find a time to grab a coffee and discuss what you envision for your wedding day, talk details, timeline, colors, and so much more! Together we will create photographic memories that will never be forgotten.

I knew I wanted Rachel to be our wedding photographer ever since I found her Instagram page! She has amazing talent and works closely with you to make sure she is capturing every important detail and moment of your special day! She is incredibly thorough, knowledgeable and makes you feel comfortable throughout the entire day. We will always cherish our wedding photos and we're so fortunate to have worked with Rachel!

From the moment I first got in contact with Randi, speaking with the owner Pam, and up until the day of, everything was so easy and the entire team is extremely professional. There were quite a few of us that ended up getting hair and makeup done for my wedding and they made sure to work quickly and efficiently to be sure we were ready to go on time. Shirley (hair) and Ashley (makeup) did such a wonderful job with my glam, I felt so gorgeous and loved it. Everything stayed perfectly in place all day and just added a wonderful touch to such an amazing day. I’m really hoping to be able to work with them again!
