The Liquorist MD 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
East Hartford, CT
  • Bar services & beverages
  • Starts at $22

Hi friends! We’re Dan and Rebecca! After working together for many years, Dan won me (Rebecca) over with his genius cocktail creations and bartending skills. But, legend has it that my bartending skills are what really sealed the deal as we’re now married with two daughters, Scarlett and Josephine. We wanted to expand our love for liquor, meet new people, and make friends so we came up with The LiquoristMD. We had never heard of a mobile bar in Connecticut but were inspired by the many mobile bars we follow down South and the rest was history!

Rebecca and Dan were so great to work with for my June wedding. So many people complimented their service - and their amazing mobile bar!! It was a highlight of the night. They were so easy to work with from start to finish and went above and beyond. We are lucky we found them! Highly recommend.

Awarded Best of Zola
IF you want a wedding photographer who will instantly become a friend look no further than Meraki Photos Inc. We met Rayleen at the Connecticut Bridal and Wedding Expo and instantly feel in love with the spirit of her work. Rayleen’s eye for detail is amazing. Throw that in with her technical skills, down to earth personality, and professionalism and you have found yourself a true artist. Rayleen will stop at nothing to make sure she captures the most incredible shots, even if that means going outside in freezing cold temperatures or scaling a fence. She takes the time to get to know you as a couple, listen to your vision, and create magic that you didn’t even know you needed. Our fall wedding was the most beautiful day and I am so grateful that we booked with Meraki Photos. The photos from the day are absolutely stunning and capture the real joy and essence of our love. Seriously our friends and family cannot stop raving on how beautifully everything was photographed. We have found a life long photographer in Rayleen. She has been there with us through all our most important moments: engagement photoshoot, wedding day, maternity session, newborn photoshoot and mommy and me photo session. We are looking forward to our daughter’s smash cake session and family Christmas photos this year. We wholeheartedly recommend Meraki Photos Inc to anyone seeking extraordinary photos and an unforgettable experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
The Stately Rose Beauty Studio was absolutely amazing to work with for my wedding day. From the very first consultation, they were prompt, proactive, and made me feel at ease. Their communication was top-notch, and they went above and beyond to ensure my hair and makeup were perfect. Despite the incredibly windy conditions that forced us to move cocktail hour inside, my hair and makeup stayed flawless through all the outdoor photos and the rest of the reception. I received so many compliments on my hair and make up, even days later. My mother-in-law even shed a few happy tears at how beautiful her make up looked. The team at Stately Rose has such great personalities - they were efficient, skilled, and made the entire process so easy. I cannot recommend them highly enough for any bride looking for an amazing beauty team for their special day.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had my trial in July for my October wedding, and I’ll admit I was a little nervous since I never wear makeup and didn’t know what to expect. I told Pam I didn’t want really heavy makeup up and she listened. The makeup looked beautiful, but I was a bit concerned about how long it would last since I couldn’t keep it on for long after the trial. My curls also weren’t as tight as I’d hoped, and they fell flat after a few hours, so I worried they might not hold up on my wedding day. I shared my concerns with Pam and Brenna—especially about my hair, since it never holds curls—and they truly listened. On the day of the wedding, they absolutely nailed it. They were also so fun to work with. My makeup and hair both lasted all night long, and my hair was exactly what I had envisioned. It couldn’t have been more perfect! I don’t have professional photos yet but these are some friends took.

Ben has been fantastic. He was in charge of making the video for our wedding day and he did an amazing job! Very professional and great to work with during the preparations, the wedding day and afterwards for editing the final videos- a big thank you!! Ben is a great listener and puts clients first. He was very perceptive on the couple's liking to Boston and included some scenic parts of the city in our highlight reel ( it was special to me!) - We had a Sangeet ceremony followed by Bollywood and Classical dances. Ben did a great job in understanding the program timeline and coordinated so well with the photographer. We planned our wedding from London and Ben's response time was impeccable that planning from continents apart didn't make a difference. My best part while establishing the contract/planning with Ben was that we only had to go through the details once. He executed it so well!!! Didn't rush us in any follow ups and was always considerate of our schedule - That's definitely a bonus celebration when the wedding planning gets busier and there's a lot on our plate. My husband and I truly enjoyed working with Ben. He is a very kind person we have met! We look forward to working with Ben again in the future for another event, and wish him the best!

Tree Films Creative // Wedding Photos and Films 
Rating: 5.0 (26 reviews)
  • Videographer
  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves East Hartford, CT

We're Ashley and James, nature—inspired storytellers and creative partners who are here to capture your most precious moments. As a husband-and-wife team, we understand the importance of connection. We take the time to get to know you so that your wedding film reflects your unique journey together. We’re drawn to the beauty of those candid moments—the joyful smiles, heartfelt tears, and loving embraces—and we transform them into cinematic treasures that you and your loved ones will cherish for generations.

When we were in the process of looking for photo/video vendors for our wedding, we knew we wanted a combined service, but we were having a hard time finding the right fit. Someone I was looking into did not have our date available, but they recommended Tree Films Creative. When I say this was the best thing that could've happened to us, I MEAN IT. Tree Films has been nothing short of amazing. I was amazed that they were even available for our date. From the very beginning, Ashley was so personable, she listened to what we wanted, she was knowledgeable, and so professional. She was our main point of contact and her and I instantly became what felt like good friends (even though I only met her via zoom calls). I asked her for help with a few things throughout the process and she never batted an eye and helped me with it all! She was very responsive; I was never waiting for a response or wondering what was going on. She always kept me in the loop. Once our big day finally arrived, Ashley and her team were at the venue before I arrived. She greeted me and I felt like I already knew her. The entire Tree Films Creative team made me, my husband, and entire bridal party comfortable and I remember having a sense of ease. I could not recommend this team enough. They went above and beyond for everything on my wedding day and beyond. At this moment, I have received photo previews, which was way more than I thought, (happily) and I cannot wait for more! I have seen the teaser film and am just blown away. I am patiently waiting to see the rest of the photos and videos and I know for a fact that they are going to be incredible. I am so happy they were the ones who captured our day for us. I can go on and on about Tree Films; they were a literal DREAM TEAM. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend!

I got married at the Riverview about 2 weeks ago and cannot begin to express how perfect it all was! The views and large windows in the ballroom were gorgeous on top of the landscaping of the grounds. It was EXTREMELY affordable compared to other venues we looked into, especially because we were coming from California to get married. We brought a few decor items of our own and the Riverview did the rest. They were so so easy to work with and we were so well taken care of the day of by our attendants (Tanya and Synsere!). It was the perfect day from start to finish and just felt easy and simple and we have gotten RAVE reviews from everyone who attended and so many compliments on the food, the service, and how lovely it all was.

We chose to do month-of coordination for our wedding and Caroline met with us ahead of time to explain her role prior to us deciding to go with her. She ensured that our wedding rehearsal was organized and kept everyone on track, and that our wedding day was as smooth as possible, she took care of all the bumps, when we were running behind she was quick on her feet to move things around to keep us on schedule without feeling stressed. I cant thank Caroline and her assistant Maddie enough for their help making our wedding day truly unforgettable.

Hi! My name is Matt and I am the owner and head DJ of Style Points DJs. I began DJing in 2016 with my friend Jerry after discovering a mutual love for electronic dance music from the likes of Zedd, Martin Garrix, and Hardwell. I've found an overwhelming passion in DJing and event coordinating, so much so that I've worked tirelessly to do it full-time since 2021. I believe that the DJ is the cornerstone of wedding vendors and I do everything in my power to make sure that I can make the vision of your wedding into a reality.

Awarded Best of Zola
DJ Style Points was incredible to work with and played a huge role in making our wedding night a massive success. Our guest list spanned multiple generations, so we really needed someone who knew how to read the room and keep everyone engaged. Matt understood this perfectly—he had the dance floor packed all night and blended the music seamlessly. Any concerns we had regarding song lengths or flow, he was already ahead of it. He uses a custom planning form that was incredibly thorough, which made it so easy for us to help structure our timeline and music preferences. It also didn't go unnoticed by our other vendors; they were all very complimentary of how well he managed the energy throughout the night. If you want a DJ who is organized, professional, and a true master at keeping the party going, look no further!

When I am at home, I enjoy snuggling and playing with my cat Harry who is the best boy! If you ask my friends, they will tell you that I am a hopeless romantic! I just LOVE love! I want to help you have the best day of your life at your wedding- and no request is too wild! Just ask me, I had my cat in my wedding!

I had the pleasure of working with Allison James Weddings for my special day, and I was thrilled with her services. Allison's communication style was quick, easy, and professional - she responded to emails and calls promptly and kept me updated every step of the way. Her work was organized, efficient, and creative. She brought my vision for the wedding to life perfectly, turning down no idea and executing even my most ambitious tasks with ease. Allison's attention to detail ensured everything ran smoothly despite some weather challenges. When a huge downpour and wind burst threatened to disrupt things, she worked swiftly behind the scenes to make it all look perfect again - as the bride, I barely even noticed! I appreciated her calm, capable presence on such a hectic day. If you're looking for a wedding planner who can juggle all the moving parts of your big event with grace, creativity, and care, I highly recommend Allison James Weddings.

We had our wedding in the Mountain Room in October, and it truly couldn’t have been better. From the minute we walked in we felt right at home and that feeling stuck with us throughout the entire process. Wedding planning can be stressful but from the very beginning, Andrea and Melissa made everything fun, easy, and seamless. The venue is stunning, the on-site bridal suite is spacious and convenient, and the entire staff was incredible. Our day was absolutely perfect. If you’re looking for a wedding venue, this is your sign to check out The Mountain Room!!
