The Liquorist MD 

5.0

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!

We hired Mr. Liquorist MD for our wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we made! Dan was incredibly helpful from start to finish, working with us to craft custom cocktails that perfectly fit our special day. The drinks were absolutely amazing, and our guests loved the personalized touch. Dan’s professionalism really stood out, especially when some guests started ordering off-menu. He handled it with ease, ensuring everyone was happy without skipping a beat. The bar setup was sleek and added such a fun and classy vibe to our celebration. If you’re looking for a top-notch portable bar service, Mr. Liquorist MD is the way to go. Dan truly made our day unforgettable. Highly recommend!

The Stately Rose Beauty Studio

  • Serves East Hartford, CT

Your wedding day is one of the biggest days of your life! You want to feel beautiful, confident and naturally flawless. The Stately Rose Beauty Studio has a team of talented and trusted hair and makeup professionals, ready to create your ideal wedding look.

Awarded Best of Zola
From start to finish, working with The Stately Rose team was a pleasure. From my initial conversation with Johanna about my vision for my look, I could tell this was the right salon for me and my girls. Her careful attention to detail and genuine care for me as a potential client impressed me. Throughout the process, Yoli, the bridal coordinator, responded to all of my questions promptly and cheerfully. Marielly and Janelle made me feel so comfortable and confident at my trial and were open and responsive to feedback and follow-up questions I had about my own look as well as questions my girls wanted to ask. On my wedding day, my bridesmaids, mom, and I got ready at the pink salon. The space is bright, airy, and full of cute spots for photos. Marielly and Janelle gave each of my girls the same VIP treatment they gave me at my trial and they kept us on time to ensure the rest of the day went smoothly. My group ranged widely in terms of needs (we had hair that was curly, straight, thick, and thin and girls who ranged from wearing little to no makeup regularly to girls who regularly go full glam and wanted bright and colorful looks), and each girl ended up with a look that was perfect for them! Our hair and makeup lasted all night long! While the final product was impressive, what stands out the most to me about working with The Stately Rose was how they made me feel. Every question or concern I had was treated as important (no matter how small) in the lead-up to the day. In the salon, Marielly and Janelle created a positive, fun, relaxed, and empowering environment. They were the ultimate hype-women all morning and they really set the tone for the day moving forward. It was especially meaningful to me how much care our team took in accommodating health and safety concerns among my party; requests we made to keep those with compromised immune systems or allergies comfortable and safe were made without hesitation. We all left the salon to start the rest of the busy and stressful day feeling like our best selves. I could not have asked for a better glam team and I’d recommend The Stately Rose to any bride-to-be without hesitation!

Awarded Best of Zola
Just absolutely outstanding, every step of the way. We hired Ariana and her company to play music for our entire wedding (ceremony & reception). A string quartet and drummer. Wouldn't hesitate to hire them again. Our guests were both surprised and filled with wonder at how the music fit seamlessly with the wedding: that's the beauty of the art and the professionalism that that Ariana String Groups brings. Ariana's group learned a new song especially for me, and it meant so much for me to hear it at the wedding (Both Sides Now, by Joni Mitchell). One of the incredible things about Ariana and her company is that they aren't just about the music: they help you every step of the way. We needed help and advice on many "things wedding" and Ariana not only helped us make decisions, but she and her team stepped up and coordinated when we needed help. Music is extremely important in my life, but I had some very specific requirements for the wedding because of my own needs. Ariana never hesitated - she was a true partner. It was a blessing to not have to worry about something I needed to go right. Fabulous.

You picked out the perfect dress.  Your bouquet has all your favorite flowers, with vivid colors that match your wedding theme.  Every last detail fits your personality perfectly.  This is YOUR day.  Shouldn't your wedding video reflect that? We specialize in creating wedding videos that match the vibe and the spirit of your celebration.  Every creation we make is personally customized.  Look through our examples and you'll see each couple's personality and spirit shine through the images.  No two videos are alike, because no two wedding days are alike.

Awarded Best of Zola
We should start by saying that we were very on the fence about a videographer for our wedding. We had a small, intimate ceremony of 50 people, and felt confident photographs would be sufficient. We can confidently say hiring Ben to film our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. Everyone warned us that the day would fly by, and it absolutely did. Ben was not only wonderful to work with, but also did an amazing job of capturing the day. He captured so many special moments that we would have missed, because there really is a lot that goes on, and has provided us such a special gift in being able to relive the best day of our lives (thus far). Ben is so skilled at his craft that he was everywhere and yet we did not feel as if we had a camera on us all night. Not to mention, he is warm, friendly, receptive to all questions, and very responsive. We are so thankful to have gotten to work with him, and could not provide a stronger recommendation.

  • Videographer

  • 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.

Treefilms is a stellar photography and videography company! After our venue, they were the second vendor we booked as photography and videography was very important to us. Ashley was responsive and kind from the beginning! She was open to our ideas in regard to location and then made it look even better in the photo video! We felt so comfortable during that shoot and at our wedding in front of the camera with them. They gave us enough direction that it was easy to know what to do, but did not result in stiff or overly posed pictures. The candid shots that they captured throughout the wedding day are photos we will cherish; they were able to capture all the emotions so perfectly. The team worked seamlessly with all the other vendors, they truly know what they’re doing! (Shoutout to Ashley for doing up the buttons on my dress!) Our wedding video is a work of art, I don’t think it’s comparable to the standard videos produced by other vendors. Treefilms is the vendor we recommend most to friends and family, and we look forward to working with them again in the future!

I would give them 100 stars if I could. From the first call to the final song of the night, everything was flawless. We worked with DJ Mike and he was an absolute dream. Super professional, but also incredibly fun, responsive, and genuinely cared about making our night unforgettable. And boy, did he deliver. Our reception? A TOTAL BANGER. Guests were dancing from the moment the floor opened until the very last song — and even then they were chanting “ONE MORE SONG!” (Spoiler: we got one more. Because they’re amazing like that.) We had guests from all ages — from our baby cousins to our grandparents — and somehow everyone was on the dance floor. The transitions were seamless, the energy was high, and the vibe was EXACTLY what we wanted. It wasn’t just music, it was a party. Plus, the lighting setup? Gorgeous. The photo booth? A HUGE hit. We are still laughing at the pictures. Every detail was just on point.

I’ve known Sarah since high school and have seen her grow as a hairstylist/make up artist through social media so I really did trust that she would make me shine for my big day. From getting my hair colored prior to the wedding, to the hair and make up trial and me leaving feeling like an absolute princess, I was ready for my wedding to come. Sarah made me feel so welcome in her studio and answered any and all of my questions no matter how dumb they seemed. Wedding day came and went in a flash, she was on time (early), she battled my toddlers getting into her things when she first entered and she made me feel like I was her priority, like nothing else mattered except my hair and make up on my special day. She nailed the inspo pics of both hair style and make up, she gave me extra tips and tricks to keep things in check for when it came time for pictures, and having her there even just as an old friend put the nerves at ease. If you’re looking for someone to do an incredible job on both hair and make up, make you laugh, and make you feel like nothing else and no one else matters aside from you looking gorgeous on your special day, choose Sarah.

5.0

  • Planner
  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $150
  • Serves East Hartford, CT

I have been a wedding and event planner for over five years, bringing a wealth of experience and a passion for creating unforgettable celebrations. Before stepping into the world of weddings and events, I was a teacher — a role that honed her organization skills, creativity, and ability to keep even the busiest schedules running smoothly. Today, I combine those strengths with my love for celebrating love stories, creating magical events, guiding my couples through every detail to help them plan the wedding or event of their dreams.

Ashley was the perfect wedding planner for our special day. From the start, Ashley's communication style put us at ease through the whole planning process. Her passion and organizational skills made sure every detail was handled seamlessly. She had a special way of keeping us calm and making sure everything was perfect, even when the weather threw us a curve ball with a rainy and muggy forecast. The best part is that we now have a lifelong friend in Ashley - we share a love of McDonalds and being "sourdough girlies". We highly recommend Ashley Albanese Weddings and Events to any couple looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your day unforgettable.
