Awarded Best of Zola
The Riverview was the most amazing wedding venue we could have ever dreamt of! We highly recommend this place to every couple looking for the perfect venue for their big day and here’s why: • PRICING was SO reasonable, the packages you get for the price you pay is truly unbeatable. You get an open bar, a multi course meal (served or buffet style - we opted for served), a FOUR tiered cake, butler passed hors d’oeuvres, and SO MUCH MORE. We had a guest list of 200 people attending our wedding and this venue made our dream wedding not only a possibility, but a lavish reality without forcing us to spend our whole life savings! • SERVICE was absolutely impeccable. From the minute we set foot into the venue till we walked out as husband and wife, we were treated like royalty every step of the way. Not only did they pamper us as the bride and groom but they ensured that every single family member, our whole bridal party, and each individual guest had every single thing we could’ve ever asked for or needed on our big day. KAYLA, MEGHAN, the coordination team, the bridal attendants, the bartenders, and the whole staff ensured that our wedding played out without a hitch. When my husband’s suit tore right before the ceremony, MEGHAN was on deck with a sewing kit within seconds to save the day. No detail was forgotten and KAYLA and her team made sure any last minute details and requests were delivered to a T. We always felt nothing but cared for and like the whole world revolved around us. Our multicultural ceremonies flowed seamlessly (which is so hard to do with numerous Indian ceremonies and American ceremonies on the same day). The staff was educated and so respectful for our traditions. • FOOD - where do I even begin with the food? The Chef knows what he’s doing. Every appetizer, hors d’oeuvre, entree, side, pastry, and bite was made with love and careful precision. The chef was so thoughtful and curated a menu of not only delicious timeless wedding staples, but he sprinkled in the most delightful Indian dishes to appeal to every taste (and dietary restriction) in attendance. Numerous guests commented on how every dish served was a hit. • THE DRINKS were flowing all night. From welcome drinks to the open bar, we told our guests to come thirsty and the venue DELIVERED. The BARTENDERS were so skilled and they made sure each (puppy themed) signature drink they served represented the love we have for our 2 sweet boys in addition to every drink they concocted throughout the night. • THE VIEWS were unparalleled. With the Farmington River as the ultimate backdrop, the venue made our early spring wedding look like a fairytale. We had nothing but positive feedback from our guests regarding the beautiful venue. In summary, we have nothing but high praise for this venue and our big day would not have been as perfect without the Riverview or their trusted vendor recommendations!

I am Bruno Sauma, founder and owner of Beauty & Life Captured! Wedding Photography Studio, a hardworking, focused and energetic individual that enjoys all sides of the shooting process: camera, lighting, editing, design and printing. Because of my long-term involvement working with image manipulation, printing and graphic design (at local companies and as a freelancer), I suddenly found myself in love with photography.After years of training and gaining experience with several styles of photography, I was naturally directed to capturing people in emotion, beauty and life; as a result, wedding photography became my true passion.

From the initial consultation to the final delivery of the photos, Bruno showcased unparalleled professionalism and talent. Their ability to seamlessly blend into the background while still capturing every meaningful moment was truly remarkable.

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.

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.

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.

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!

David was absolutely amazing — both professional and so personal at the same time! From the very beginning, he walked us through everything, from customizing our ceremony to making sure we knew exactly what to expect on the big day. He took the time to really get to know us, and it showed in every single part of our ceremony. What we loved most is that David somehow feels like both a pro and a friend. He’s organized and experienced, but also warm, kind, and genuinely cares. You never feel like just another client with him — you feel supported, understood, and completely taken care of. He was such a great communicator throughout the whole process — super responsive, always available if we had a question, and just so easy to work with. During the ceremony, he absolutely shined. He spoke clearly and with purpose, enunciating every word so that every guest could hear and feel the meaning behind what he was saying. His timing, tone, and presence were perfect — confident, engaging, and full of heart. We can’t say enough good things about David. Having him as our officiant made our wedding day even more special.

I am a 5th grade teacher in Connecticut during the week! I am the type of person who is always moving and enjoys doing things and being out of the house! 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 got married here and truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the planning process through the wedding day, everything felt seamless and so thoughtfully handled. The space itself is absolutely beautiful and photographs so well, and the team made everything feel easy, organized, and stress-free—which made a huge difference for us. They were also open to my many ideas, and helped me decide the best ways to incorporate special moments I wanted in our day… like including our loved pets outside, or the special cocktail hour ride to the top of the mountain. Our guests are still talking about how gorgeous everything was and how smoothly the day went. We’re so grateful we chose this venue and would highly recommend it to any couple!

I’m Julia, the photographer behind J. Graham Photo! What started as a creative outlet quickly became the career I can’t imagine living without.

My approach is relaxed, fun, and real — no stiff poses, just natural direction to help you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Based in Connecticut but always down to travel!

Julia is such a joy to work with—fun, easygoing, and full of the best energy. She instantly put us at ease and had us laughing the whole time, which brought out our most natural smiles. She nailed the storybook vibe we were hoping for so effortlessly. The photos are unbelievable and very special to me. Don’t sleep on her!

We seriously can’t say enough good things about Shukhrat and Rachel. From the moment we met them, we knew we were in the best hands. Not only are they incredibly talented, but they’re also just genuinely kind, calming, and lovely people to be around — exactly the kind of energy you want on your wedding day. They made us feel so comfortable, like we were just hanging out with friends — and somehow, in the middle of all that, they captured the most beautiful, emotional, and real moments of our day. When we got the photos back, we were completely blown away. They didn’t just take pictures — they told the story of our day in a way that felt true to us. Looking through our gallery brings back all the joy, love, and magic we felt, and we’ll honestly treasure these photos forever. We feel so lucky to have had Shukhrat and Rachel as our photographers — they’re the best decision we made (besides marrying each other!).

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.

I had the pleasure of working with Sarah for my wedding, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a more amazing makeup and hair artist. From the trial to the day-of services — makeup, hair, and even thoughtful touch-ups — she made the entire experience feel effortless and enjoyable. What stood out the most was how comfortable she made me feel. I was extremely nervous on my wedding day, and Sarah went above and beyond to help keep me calm. She was patient, kind, and had this wonderful calming presence that I genuinely needed. It felt like having a friend by my side who just happened to be incredibly talented at what she does. My makeup and hair turned out beyond beautiful, lasted all day, and made me feel like the best version of myself. I received so many compliments, and I owe it all to her skill and care. I’m so grateful I chose Sarah — she’s not only talented, but she truly cares about her brides. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!
