Julie Sharp, Wedding and Event Violinist

May 3rd was a cloudy and windy day but still beautiful! Every time I’m at this venue, I catch my breath when I see the Bride arriving in the most gorgeous horse and carriage. There is no entrance more glorious! What made this ceremony especially amazing was when I began the pronouncement with “May sunshine and starlight”…..and as if on clue, the sun came out💛 I never thought I had that much power🥰 Vendors: Violinist ~ @sharpstringsct Photographer ~ @jessra_photos Bride’s Dress ~ @kleinfeldbridal Catering ~ @jtimothys Cake ~ @sassymamasweets Glam ~ @d.milaje_boutique Venue ~ @wood_acres_farm Officiant ~ @marriedbywanda

📣Vendor Spotlight: Juliana Sharp 🎻 Incorporating live music is one of our favorite ways to elevate the guest experience — and Julie does so flawlessly. Her violin performances add such sophistication and emotion to a wedding day. 🎶 She is professional, personable, and incredibly easy to work with, making her a dream vendor partner. We’re already looking forward to the next celebration we’ll share!

Today we hosted a special volunteer and community partner luncheon—and what a phenomenal turnout it was! We are incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us and shared their energy and passion for building a stronger community. A huge thank you goes out to our amazing staff, whose tireless work behind the scenes made this event truly special. We’re also deeply appreciative of our talented violinist, Julie, @sharpstringsct whose enchanting performance filled the room with beautiful music and reminded us all of the unifying power of art. In addition, we are thrilled to announce our new Executive Director, Lorraine Termini, to the team !. Although we are excited to embark on this new chapter together we will miss Gaby’s leadership, wisdom, and dedication which has left an indelible mark on our organization. Again, Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this day a memorable celebration of community, collaboration, and shared commitment. We look forward to the many great things ahead! #CommunityPartners #VolunteerLove #Gratitude #Teamwork #BarbarasHouse

Happy New Year!! I had the pleasure of photographing the sweetest four couples yesterday who eloped at @thewestbrookinn ❤️

These two had the perfect fall weather for their elopement 😍.

Erica and Priscilla are two of the most fun and low key brides, yet their mini wedding/elopement was so visually appealing we almost fell over when we walked in! 😍🥰 These ladies have style!!! Bravo to @my_secret_garden_ct 😍 and @rosevineyards the stunning setup. Another amazing element of this wedding was that the brides surprised their whole family. They said they went to the courthouse earlier in the week, but they hadn’t. They surprised everyone with personal vows and got married in an intimate ceremony in front of their families. There was not a dry eye in the vineyard ❤️🥰 Congrats Erica and Priscilla!
