Meet The Team


Carlos Berrios (CEO)

My name is Carlos Berrios, Co CEO of Premiere Essentials. I graduated college in 2022 and got my Degree in Environmental Systems and Sustainability. This business started off as a thought and it just got bigger from there. Me and my best friend (co-owner Jayden) started this business in our college dorm room in 2020, which is so crazy to think. We wanted our business to be environmentally friendly and luxurious. 


Growing up in the south end of Hartford, CT I would have never thought that I would be running a business, especially owning and creating it. I’ve always had dreams of being an important person in this lifetime and maybe this can be that for people. I have such a great passion for candle making and the whole process itself, it’s really taught me a lot about business and scents. It’s honestly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, my advice is if you really love it and have a passion for something just do it! Yes it can be very scary but it can be very rewarding at the end as well. Starting Premiere Essentials we were in the middle of a Pandemic and we put our time and efforts into ourselves and our company! I hope you enjoy all of the hard work me and my co owner put into this company. 



Jayden Rogers-Wallace (CEO) 

Greetings everyone my name is Jayden and I am Co-CEO of Premiere Essentials Candle & Co. I am a college grad class of '22 with a degree in Business Administration with a concentration in marketing. I was also a dancer for 12 years and competed locally and nationally. 


Creating a business has always been a goal of mine and to actually follow suit and create one is a dream come true. My best friend (Carlos) and I started this business idea when we were only sophomores in college during the beginning of the covid-19 pandemic. We took time to understand business and how it works and what we want to do to differentiate ourselves. Thus leading up to our senior year is when we actually made our dreams become a reality. Sharing what I love to do with others is nothing more than a blessing and I am thankful every single day that I get to do what I love.


If I have any advice to give it would be to attack anything that comes your way. Not everything will be perfect at first and you may feel like giving up but that's why most people fail is because they give up. Grow a support team and utilize them to support your process and I guarantee overtime you will get there. 



Brianna Marie ( Creative Director)

I was born and raised in Connecticut. My photography journey started when I was in middle school, and followed me through college. 

My goal is to capture those special moments, and create memories that will last a lifetime. I am thrilled to have a job where I am able to express my creativity while documenting signifigant moments in my clients' lives. It is an honor to witness and capture the love, emotion, and relationships with all of my clients.

My primary focus as a photographer is to capture the pure beauty and raw emotions in each photograph. I love the romance of weddings, and innocence of children. I put my heart and soul into capturing tomorrow's memories, and I believe it shows in my photographs.
