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!

Your wedding day is a story of connection, from the quiet moments you share before the ceremony to the wild celebration on the dance floor. Our purpose is to capture all of it, the big emotions, the small details, and everything in between with a genuine and artistic eye. We don't just take pictures; we create a timeless narrative of your love story that you'll cherish forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we started taking photos, Rayleen from Meraki Photo, Inc. made us feel so comfortable and confident. She had us laughing, loving on each other, and genuinely enjoying every moment, which made such a difference. She knew exactly where to take us and how to pose us in ways that felt natural, not forced. Her creative eye and thoughtful ideas resulted in unique, stunning photos that captured the magic of the day while still feeling authentically us. Rayleen's work is absolutely top-notch — the photos are high quality, beautifully edited, and full of life. She balanced professionalism with so much fun, easily connecting with our wedding group and blending seamlessly into the flow of the day while capturing the most meaningful moments. She went above and beyond to contribute to our day in meaningful ways. One of her most brilliant ideas was suggesting we end the day by crushing grapes at the winery's grape festival. My husband and I climbed into a bucket of grapes in my wedding gown and his suit, and the resulting photos are truly incredible — unique, joyful, and unforgettable. Without her creative vision, we would have missed out on such a special moment and the amazing photos that captured it. Rayleen captured every laugh, happy tear and in-between moment. Every time we look at her photos, it feels like we're reliving our wedding day exactly as it felt. Rayleen is not only an exceptionally talented photographer, but also a genuinely wonderful person. She felt like a friend by the end of the day, and we hope our paths cross again. We would 10/10 recommend her to anyone in need of a photographer!

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!

I can’t believe how perfectly they captured our love. Every shot is full of emotion, from my husband’s big smile to my mom crying during the vows. The video is unbelievable, like a romantic movie, and I’ve already watched it multiple times. They caught so many little moments I didn’t notice at the time, like my bridesmaids laughing behind the scenes. Even the kids running around are adorable in the pictures. The portraits are stunning, not stiff at all. They made me feel comfortable and beautiful the whole day. The colors are natural and vibrant. They were so kind and professional with everyone. My family keeps talking about how amazing everything looks. I love that they captured our sparkler exit. These memories will last a lifetime. I couldn’t ask for more.

Had the BEST experience with Tree Films Creative! From the initial inquiry to our wedding day, everything has been so easy and smooth with Ashley and James. They instantly made us feel so comfortable, in general, and in front of the camera. Communications over email and/or text were clear and timely, and it was apparent how organized and on top of their agenda they were. What I especially appreciated was the timeline and layout of the entire wedding day, from start to finish, all the photos Ashley planned to take; with who, where, etc. It was easy to follow and we could customize/add any specific group photos/photo poses we wanted to take. The sneak peek preview of some of the photos was such an unexpected and impressively quick turnaround - we got them while we were on our honeymoon! So that was another exciting bit of the honeymoon we weren't expecting but got to enjoy and appreciate together. I am so looking forward to the rest of the photos and video and will definitely be working with these guys again for our first born baby photos!!

Hi, I’m Sarah! The owner of Smainsbeauty. I am a licensed cosmetologist and makeup artist. I specialize in bridal hair and makeup. I offer a variety of add on services, such as extensions. I will travel just about anywhere to make your day special.

Sarah from Smainsbeauty was an absolute delight to work with for my wedding! The communication was quick and easy, and she was always available to answer any questions. We did a trial ahead of time so we could work out exactly what I was looking for. Sarah's work was incredible - the pricing was very fair and she made me feel and look my absolute best on the big day. Sarah is so easy to work with, ensuring my wedding day wasn't stressful at all - she was just there hyping me up and turning me into the most beautiful bride!

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 deserves a million stars! Words cannot express how much her commitment, professionalism, expertise, and overall impressiveness meant to me, my husband, my family, and our entire wedding party. Not to mention our fellow vendors and venue! Every single person and team who came into contact with Ashley throughout our wedding process was grateful to work with her. We truly cannot recommend her enough. She continues to be a considerate and encouraging friend even after the wedding weekend has come and gone. Future clients will be so lucky to have her!
