Awarded Best of Zola
I'm a wedding planner who works with MANY vendors all over the state. When I got engaged and it came time to plan my own wedding, it wasn't even a question of who I wanted as my DJ. Gary and Chris aka DJ DopeGod are my favorite vendor duo ever and are always my first choice when my couples need a DJ. And while music is their specialty, Gary's experience as a radio VJ makes him a great wedding MC. Add on their special upgrades (photobooth, "Dance on a Cloud", sparklers/fireworks, etc.) and you've got the perfect evening.

Chelsea Lavallee Photography

  • Photographer

  • Serves West Hartford, CT

This little hobby that started back in 2015 has become an absolute dream come true!! Photographing weddings is my second favorite part of this job, with serving the most incredible couples being the first! I knew from the start that I wanted my business to be focused on creating an amazing wedding experience that caters to each couple in a unique and memorable way! My focus throughout the entire process is to make things easy, stress-free, and most of all FUN! Outside of this business, I also train Ninja Warrior and love exploring throughout New England & the Northeast!

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I had an absolutely traumatic photography search experience. Our original photographer never panned out, was shady, and never made it seem like they cared about the product. That's why when we decided to search for someone new and stumbled upon Chelsea, we knew the stars were aligning at the the correct time with this absolute blessing in disguise. From our first meeting, Chelsea listened to us, understood what we were coming from and where we wanted to go in terms of our photos. Her breathtaking bright and colorful photos were exactly what we were looking for in our April wedding. Despite meeting in person for the first time the day of our wedding, the lead up and communication day of made it feel like we were old friends seeing each other again. Both her and her husband/second shooter Ryan are top notch. They executed all the fun little quirks we wanted perfectly, including our groomsmen "NFL Entrance" photos, and private "First Touch". They stayed through most of the night and captured the entire reception, intros, dances, and party. We left for our honeymoon less than 2 days later, and by the time we landed, we already had 100 (!) photos as a sneak peek. The turnaround time was incredible. Chelsea prides herself on connecting with her clients, keeps her promises, and delivers exceptionally. We count our lucky stars we found Chelsea Lavallee Photography when we did. She made our day complete. Thank you Chelsea & Ryan!

We used them for rentals and got our tent, tables, chairs, linens and dance floor from them. But the most awesome thing they did was with the lighting in the tent. It was a combo of up lighting (I think thats what its called) and string lighting which really set the mood. Everything was delivered and set up on time and looked great!

Love, Honor, and Cherish Weddings

  • Officiant
  • Offers 8 ceremony types
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves West Hartford, CT

Why settle for the same clichéd, predictable service everyone else uses? You're unique, and your wedding should be, too. I'll work with you to design the perfect ceremony to match your own individual style and personality.

A few hours after my husband and I got engaged, I asked him, "What if we just had a super tiny wedding and got married in a week?" Cue a mad scramble to find an officiant, photographer, and venue. We had already spoken to one potential officiant who didn't ask us any questions or tell us what he was planning to do—not great—so when our photographer recommended Dave, we were thrilled he was available. When we met up over Zoom to talk, it was clear he's very smart and funny, and loves love without being mushy about it. He crafted a ceremony that was short and sweet, complete with a reading that was a great match for us. I loved that he sent us the full script with free rein to adjust it to our liking. I, an endless word-fusser, only made one small change. On the day, he was already laughing with our witnesses when we arrived, and it set the scene so beautifully for us to have a joyful, laid back ceremony. It was perfect. He's happy to provide ideas but really wants the ceremony to work for you as a couple. He'll talk about his outfit options for you to choose from. (We went with a navy suit but he has a rad hot pink one too if that fits your vision. I suspect he would gamely wear an Iron Man costume or KISS makeup if that were your dream.) That open thoughtfulness extends to whatever kind of ceremony you want—big or small, religious or secular, traditional or offbeat. Zero judgment, just a steady stream of smart questions, good ideas, and caring support. And he writes the best emails. I haven't laughed that hard or felt so sparklingly clever in writing in years.

Shukhrat Kamalov Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Serves West Hartford, CT

Hey there, I’m Shukhrat, a proud husband, a father and an artist. My love for photography started about fifteen years ago with photojournalism. Today, I continue to utilize my skills in capturing beautiful wedding and portrait moments that evoke the same emotions as the real moment. My photography style is diverse and has been refined over the years to showcase my creative vision. I am all about creating stunning, timeless artwork that truly captures the essence of a moment in true to life colors.

Awarded Best of Zola
Shukhrat and his wife Rachel just shot our June 8th wedding and we couldn't be happier. They were amazing to work with and the photos are phenomenal! About the pictures: Shukhrat is versatile and very skilled. When we took our engagement photos he provided us with various styles of photos and editing, and then used our feedback to guide the photos he took at our wedding. He is also flexible. We got married in a city park and there were wayyyy more people in the park than we were expecting at 6:00pm at night. Without missing any of the candid details or true-to-life colors that we wanted, Shukhrat was able to frame the photos and/or alter the lighting so that the park goers were barely visible in the background. Both Shukhrat and Rachel are also very skilled at giving direction when needed, but letting you do your own thing the rest of the time. Neither my husband nor I have a lot of experience in front of a camera—they gave us enough direction to feel confident, without making us feel stifled or overly posed. We wanted photos that felt organic and genuine, and they were really able to capture that. Working with Shukhrat and Rachel: The two of them were a dream to work with. Incredibly professional--very communicative, punctual, quick turnaround time on photos. And they are also just lovely people. You spend so much time on your wedding day with your photographers, it's really important to feel comfortable with them, and we certainly did. They brought both a fun, but calming energy, easing our pre-wedding jitters before the ceremony, and leaning into the excitement as the night went on. Although we hardly know them, they felt like friends. We are so glad we booked Shukhrat for our wedding!

Without Fernie, we aren't sure our wedding would have happened! We hired Fernie as our Day of Coordinator, and met with her several times via zoom to go over details. She reviewed our materials and created a timeline for our day. She asked questions that made us think about details we might have overlooked. She did a site visit with us, ran our rehearsal, and was with us every step of the way on our day. Our wedding did not go as plan, and on the fly we were able to create a back up plan. Fernie contacted all of our vendors, and we all managed to arrive at the location around the same time. Over all, we were lucky to have her on our team!

We allowed him full creative control and are so happy we did. Our trailer and highlight reel look like actual movies. He included beautiful drone shots capturing our entire venue and made sure to incorporate bits from our entire day into the reel.

For cocktail hour, he played the perfect mix of classic and contemporary music and was a great emcee for speeches throughout dinner. Once the dance floor opened, he incorporated our must-play songs with some of his own selections, as well as requests from our guests. It all added up to a great night with great energy.

Hi there! I’m an on site pro makeup artist located in Connecticut, but travel all over the east coast & internationally if need be. I’m also someone who would love to make your wedding morning even more special in preparation for your big day! Hablo español!

I had a wonderful experience working with Marielly from Make Me Glamorous for my wedding day. Her communication was always timely, thorough, and extremely organized, which put me at ease throughout the planning process. The quality of her work was truly exceptional - the makeup artist, Marielly, was a true perfectionist and ensured that my entire bridal party of 8 women looked impeccable. She was so receptive to our individual style preferences and created flawless looks for each of us. Marielly went above and beyond, not just meeting, but exceeding my (admittedly high) expectations. My makeup stayed perfect for over 15 hours, through all the photos, hugs, tears, and dancing. I would trust Marielly and the entire Make Me Glamorous team with my beauty needs again in a heartbeat.

Hi! I'm Aren, when trusted to tell your story through my lens, I take a photojournalistic approach. I value capturing the moments as they are happening on your big day, rather than making your wedding day into a "photoshoot". Real, raw, + authentic love is what I am here to capture. Minimalistic photography really draws my eye, never over complicating what's really happening in front of us, and finding the beauty in the simple, in-between, moments.

I met Aren through a mutual friend and was excited to have her assist in shooting a wedding with me. She was professional and enjoyable to work with. I am looking forward to having her second shoot with me again come 2024.

The Bristol Event Center made all our NYE wedding dreams come true! The venue is absolutely gorgeous, from the floor to ceiling windows, tall ceilings, huge bars, and high-end finishes. Everything was sparkling and new. Having two spacious hospitality suites upstairs to get ready in (or to touch-up during the reception) was a huge bonus. The staff at the BEC was amazing, from our initial tour to the day of. They are experts in the hospitality industry. They got back to us quickly with any question and were extremely accommodating with all our requests. Even our vendors commented how great they were to work with! Food was very important to us and the BEC nailed it! It was difficult to narrow down our hors d'oeuvres choices because everything was so amazing at the tasting. The chef was extremely accommodating to all our requests, including a huge raw bar during cocktail hour which was the talk of the wedding. Lastly, I can’t emphasize how convenient it was for our guests to stay in the hotel next door. Our guests stayed at the DoubleTree which was a 2 minute walk, or they could take one of the shuttles that staff were running back and forth. We also had our afterparty in one of the hotel ballrooms. Staff from both the BEC and Doubletree worked together to make this seamless. It will be even more convenient now that the connected Home2Suites is open for guests! Overall, our experience with the Bristol Event Center was a 1000/10. If you’re looking for a brand-new, sparkling venue with amazing service, food, and convenience, this is your place.

We are Maegan and Joe DeCrescenzo, and the little peanut in the picture above is our daughter Juniper. We photograph couples and families during some of their lives most exciting moments. After almost 11 years of photographing weddings together we still get misty eyed at almost every wedding. We know first hand how awkward it can feel to be in front of the camera (umm...what do I do with my hands?), and thankfully know just what to do to make you feel at ease. With a mix of candid and gentle guiding and prompts we make sure you don't just get great photos, you also have a lot of fun.

Maegan has photographed me and my family many times. I usually feel very awkward in front of the camera, but she gives just the right amount of instruction to put you at ease, and look your best! Her communication and turn around time is also top notch.

I had my wedding ceremony and reception at The Hills Labor Day weekend of 2022. The venue is beautiful and perfectly manicured. The new pergola was a nice touch. The reception space is beautiful from the minute you walk in the doors. The views in the main room are stunning and breathtaking. The gold chairs and high ceilings make the room feel very grand and are a great setting for a wedding. Frank was very accommodating to all our requests. Allison was amazing- she anticipated and exceeded our needs and wants from the early stages of planning to providing helpful updates during the party. Everything ran smoothly and was handled eloquently. The staff was attentive and friendly. The Bartenders were smiling all night long. All my guests were complimenting the delicious food and gorgeous venue. The bridal suite was perfect for me and my wedding party to gather ourselves before the ceremony. The aesthetic and decor was very modern and clean. I had the best time at My wedding and I’m very Grateful to The Hills management & staff for providing the perfect space for us to celebrate with our loved ones. 10/10 highly recommend!
