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!

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.

Working with Raylene and Julia from Meraki Photo was everything we hoped for and more. Raylene's artistic vision perfectly matched what we wanted in our wedding photography. We’ve often seen wedding photos that look a bit washed out or flat, but Raylene and Julia’s work stands out with it’s vibrancy, color, and energy. They truly captured the magic of the moment, making it feel like we’re reliving those special moments every time we look at the photos.

My experience with PG Beauty bar was amazing from start to finish. Pam was excellent with communication right from our first email, making the whole process seamless. On my wedding day, Pam and Brenna drove to an Air BnB I was staying at to get ready even though it was in the middle of nowhere. They were both on time and even finished early! Pam did my makeup and it was the perfect subtle glam look. It lasted AL NIGHT even through hours of dancing and sweating. Brenna styled my hair exactly how I had envisioned, listening to my requests for some changes to the style and giving me the most elegant look. The quality of their work was flawless and they are both so nice and such a pleasure to work with. I couldn't recommend this talented team enough for your wedding day or any special event.

From start to finish working with Ben was flawless. He listened to what we wanted out of our video & delivered. Most important to us, was that it wasn’t an obtrusive experience, and he delivered. He was there without necessarily feeling like he was there, and without all the equipment being in the way or in the photos. At the end, he delivered a video that had our most cherished moments, and when something was missing, he made sure to make those adjustments. Highly recommend working with Ben (:

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.

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!!

Absolutely incredible. If you're looking for rental for your wedding. Just book B_entertained. From the moment we reached out, their team made everything feel easy. Like really easy. Professional, responsive, and most importantly they listened. No upselling. No pressure. Just honest, experienced advice and flawless execution. We rented the full setup: tent, tables, chairs, linens, dance floor, photo booth, and string lights. Every piece was spotless, sturdy, elegant. The tent felt like a dream, clean and white, perfectly set up, and big enough to comfortably hold our guests (and then some). Tables and chairs? Classic and cozy. Not one wobbly leg or creaky seat. The linens matched our colors to a T. Crisp. Fresh. Ironed. I didn’t even know that mattered until I saw how beautiful everything looked put together. Then the string lights came on. And wow. That beautiful glow added a magical touch. Like a warm hug across the whole space. It turned our outdoor reception into a soft-lit fairytale. The dance floor was sturdy and smooth, perfect for heels, sneakers, and a few surprise breakdance moves. It held up all night without a single hiccup. And the photo booth was a huge hit. Our guests were obsessed. So many laughs. So many memories printed instantly. The props were clean and fun, and the photos looked amazing. They arrived on time. Set everything up perfectly. Double-checked with us throughout and all done with a smile. I honestly can’t recommend B_entertained enough. If you want a seamless, beautiful, no-stress rental experience that elevates your day, they are def it. Book them. You’ll thank me later.

We worked with Paul for our January wedding. Originally, I was going to just create a playlist (I was having little to no formalities) until I saw he commented on a Connecticut Bride Facebook Group. Figured a DJ will give me one less thing to worry about, so I inquired and he immediately responded, provided a quick quote, and we set up our first meeting. He just made everything so easy! We had two one-hour long meetings to clearly identify our vision. My father passed a few years ago and we did many things to honor him at the party- signature cocktail, my sister spoke about him in her speech, his two best friends gave a combined toast on his behalf, but what made me really feel my dad was celebrated and “there in spirit” was when Paul intentionally played my dad’s favorite song prior to the first speech. It almost felt like that was my dad’s speech/toast to us. Family and friends picked up on Paul’s placement of my dad’s favorite song and commented that they were moved by it too. It was the only point of the night I got emotional. Paul really cares about his work and the people he works with. I’ve been to a handful of weddings where DJs play the couple’s Do Not playlist and just treats every wedding the same. I seriously can’t recommend Paul more.

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.

The first day I worked in floral design, I knew I was home. It quickly became my passion, inspiration, and outlet and has allowed me to bring so much added beauty to people’s favorite days! It’s all in the details and as overwhelming as it may be, that’s where I find solace! Working as a partner and team mate to my clients, I find, creates the best experience to fit everyone’s needs, keeping the quality of product and experience! With that being said, let’s get to work!

Working with Taylor at New Leaf Florals was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our first conversation, she listened closely to what we wanted and asked thoughtful questions to understand our vision. Taylor's designs are incredibly unique and unlike anything you'd normally see at a wedding—they felt like living art. When I saw my bridal bouquet, I actually cried, it was so perfect. She responded quickly to all of our messages and made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. Taylor listened and truly understood our vision, she covered certain areas we wanted hidden and accentuated other areas of the venue we wanted highlighted. We can't recommend New Leaf Florals enough! Thank you, Taylor!
