Wedding Vendors in Bridgeport

Best decision we made. My brother & sister in law worked with Nicholas for their wedding a few summers back and we're so glad we did too. Our guests are still talking about how great the food was. Everything came out timely, delicious and well portioned. The passed apps were to die for - our guests couldn't believe how many options we had and never felt like they missed out on something because the staff did such a great job of making their rounds & re-stocking all apps. Nicholas was so great to work with and, when I told my coordinator we were working with him, she praised his professionalism and was so excited to learn we'd be working with the team. Would definitely recommend!

I cannot say enough how much I loved having Yesenia photograph my wedding. I was taken with her style when I found her through a wedding facebook group and from our first phone call I knew I would love working with her. She first photographed our engagement session which everyone I showed photos to described as nothing short of magical, but I could not imagine how amazing the photos from our wedding day would be. I have looked through them so many times and my friends and family all said what a delight it was to work with Yesenia. Her artistic vision is unmatched and I hope to use Yesenia for all of our family's photography needs. Thank you again and if you're considering booking her-do it!

We hired Kelley to manage the last eight weeks leading up to our December 2023 wedding and we could not be more happy with our decision to do so.  From our initial call with Kelley, she immediately put us at ease.  My husband and I both have very busy work schedules, and were most concerned about our ability to manage all of the details that come up the last couple months of the wedding as well as the coordination the day of.  Kelley took the reins and made the planning process for us fun, instead of stressful.  Kelley is also a consummate professional, while also being extremely personable and easy to get along with.  I spoke to a number of other planners before finding Kelley and she stood out immediately both from a subject matter expertise standpoint, but also how easy it was to interact with her.  I received numerous comments from our wedding party, family and friends how impressed they were with her and how smoothly she kept the day running.  A number of people told me before the wedding that something inevitably will go wrong the day of and to not let it stress me out; however, I can't think of a single thing that did not go as planned (and if it did I don't know about it) and that's all thanks to Kelley and her wonderful team.  I would hire her 10x over - she really is the best. 

If I could give Fortunas 100 stars it still wouldn’t be enough. They are truly the most amazing catering team. They catered my beach wedding this past Saturday with food for Sunday after party as well. The food was talked about constantly by all of our guests and I had 3 people ask for their information for parties they are hosting. Besides the high quality food the service was truly incomparable. The servers were so kind and helpful so above and beyond anything you could ever expect. To the point I have a video of one of the servers helping me with my train when I was walking down the stairs. And they actively engaged all our guests in Polaroids that we had for candids. These are not things they are paid or asked to do and yet they did it with huge smiles on their face. I do not have enough words for how helpful Nancy and Kristen were from start to finish in this process. I ask a lot of questions and they even responded to me while on vacation! I had the wedding of my dreams and it would have never been even close to possible without the superior team of Fortunas catering. Can’t wait to work with them again!

Shindig Lighting provided the lighting for my wedding which was at my parent's house. They did an unbelievable job. Their crew was so friendly and professional and the lighting looked absolutely amazing! They required almost no guidance but new exactly what to do to light the inside of the tent and the property. I was so impressed and would definitely highly recommend them! Dan is delightful and having him around as we were getting set up helped keep everything (and us!) calm! I honestly didn't understand how important lighting was in planning in planning a wedding but it made SUCH an impact!

I'm not sure where to start in reviewing Shannon and her work, other than to tell you that she was perfect for us from the first moment my husband and I met her. I had my wallet stolen the evening before we were supposed to meet/interview Shannon. I wasn't in the best of moods, we had already interviewed quite a few photographers (none of whom felt very exciting or worth the $$ they were charging), but I knew the meeting would be the right distraction I needed that Saturday morning. Shannon was a dream, from the start. We met in Boston (where my husband and I live), and talked for close to two hours. It was probably close to an hour before we even started talking about photography and the wedding -- which was after I knew she would be the person we hired. She includes and engagement session in her packages -- which I would recommend for EVERYONE. If one or both of you are very shy and not a fan of having your picture taken -- HIRE SHANNON. Seriously. My husband is extraordinarily shy, and not a fan of having his picture taken. He felt comfortable and at ease with Shannon from the start -- and Shannon has produced the most AMAZING pictures of him! Candid and at ease, structured and posed and STILL at ease. She is a natural at what she does, and makes the entire process so much fun! If you're looking for someone who loves what they do, at an amazingly affordable price, and someone who will take the time to get to know you and use that knowledge to produce incredible pictures, Shannon is the one for you. The pictures are the one piece of your wedding that will last forever (besides the marriage itself of course!) and Shannon knows how to create timeless and breathtaking photos you will WANT to look at for decades to come. You won't regret it!

Kvon was an amazing photographer for our wedding! He was energetic, friendly, and made everyone comfortable in front of the camera. We have the most beautiful wedding photos- and he didn't miss a moment of our entire event, from getting ready before the ceremony, until the last dance~ He even captured special creative shots of our wedding site. We highly recommend him!

The party started and never ended. The Special Occasion Band really live up to their name. Our wedding reception was so SPECIAL. The band played R&B to knock your socks off!! the really rocked the house and played on and on! EWF, Miclheal Jackson, you name it and they played it!!

We loved working with GTC for our Wedding August 2021. They put up a beautiful clear span tent and white wash hardwood floors. Kate & team were excellent to work with - they were quick to respond, easy to work with, patient, kind, and detail oriented. There was no matter too big or small that Kate wouldn't carve out some time in her day to hop on the phone with me. They worked with us extensively to ensure that our our environment was level and ready for install, including multiple site visits. On-site during install and strike, the team was clear, polite, and worked quickly but thoroughly. As a bride and a producer in the events industry, I would absolutely recommend them for your next event!!

Juancarlos and Lenny were very professional, punctual and attentive. They have an eye for detail which is what makes their photos so great. They dedicated plenty of time to our photo shoot of family, just the two of us and guests. We can't wait to see the finished product!
