Vendor Spotlight – Matty B Entertainment

by Kim Bova on October 27, 2011

Matt Bernier, or Matty B is one of the best entertainers and DJ’s that I have worked with over the years.  If you  have an event, party or wedding coming up, you must check him out!  He is a fantastic performer on many instruments, a singer and will run an amazing party for you.  Check out his website and give him a call!  I can’t wait to work with him again.

Here is a photo of him from a wedding we worked together this summer.  Here he is performing music during the dinner hour which was just right to set the mood.

Weddings and Hurricanes Don’t Mix!

by Kim Bova on August 27, 2011

Hurricane Irene is closing in and I am thinking of all the people who either canceled their wedding or are hoping they can get it in before the storm hits.  My best to you and hoping all is well.  I am actually ok with the fact that I do not have a wedding to photograph this weekend.  My husband, Peter, and I spent the morning clearing out the garage so we could get the cars in, bringing all the potted plants in, clearing the deck of furniture, filling bathtubs and cooking up some tasty food ahead of time in case there are power outages.

Also, I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my 16 year old son, Matt, who just completed a 400 mile bike ride with two buddies.  They are coming home today, one day early due to the storm.  They made their goal!  Mansfield, CT to Bar Harbor, Maine!  They got there last evening, and turned it around this morning without much of a visit there.  Thankfully, they are getting a ride home by car.  What an adventure.  What a week!  Now, what a weekend, due to Irene!  Stay safe everyone, evacuate if you need to, no heroics please.

Yours,
Kim

Connecticut Weddings that are Unique to You.

by Kim Bova on August 22, 2011

I have been speaking to many Connecticut Brides lately who are planning their wedding for next season, and I find it interesting that many of them are working to create very personal and unique wedding plans.  Lots of attention is being paid to the talents of their guests and utilizing those talents in the wedding preparations such as the entertainment or details.  This is a  wonderful idea to me as so many weddings for the guests attending can be hum-drum.  Incorporating the talents of family and friends to make it a really special day is fantastic!  I recently attended a wedding like this where I was the photographer for a close friend, all her musicians were the couples friends, and the flowers, invitations and other details were also created by friends!  All of them were paid for their time and expertise as well, but many guests were involved as vendors, which made it fun and very personal for everyone.  So if you are planning a Connecticut Wedding this may give you some ideas to make your day extra personal and unique to you as a couple.
