Would like to give Bristol Event Center another applause, from the architecture, the food, down to the staffs, and very special shout-out to Sarah J., for helping us create our dream wedding! I love the fact that Sarah made it so easy to approach her with anything we need. It’s not easy planning a wedding all the way from California, but she helped made it happen. I remember visiting BEC when it was still being built, having to tour with hard hats and everything was all framework and foundation. Sarah went over with us how BEC became established and also showed my wife and I how it’s going to look and we just decided to take that leap of faith and go with them due to how we were able to connect! When we came to check it out when we were visiting town, we were speechless on how beautiful everything was. My cousins and my wedding coordinator did the taste testing for us and they said BEC gave them an experience they never experienced before. If you’re booking a venue to please your crowd, your crowd will definitely have a positive experience they will remember for a very long time. I’ve been to numerous weddings myself and this venue definitely captured my eyes and my stomach (food is amazing). THANK YOU SARAH, RICH, JULIA, STEVE, JEFFREY, AND THE WHOLE TEAM, YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!! - Kristine & Do

Emily's Catering was an extraordinary part of our wedding day at South Farms in Morris, CT. Rick and his team handled everything wonderfully; They were organized, prompt, responsive, enthusiastic, creative, and VERY well-priced. Because we decided not to hire a planner, it was crucial that we retain vendors who could operate self-sufficiently, and Emily's truly went above and beyond in every respect. They even accommodated serving my husband's home-brew, including making wood signs for us as a surprise. My husband and I still talk about how much we loved and appreciated them, and we enthusiastically recommend them to anyone seeking the perfect caterer for their wedding.

American Rose Films

  • Videographer
  • Vintage style
  • Starts at $7,500
  • Serves West Hartford, CT

We’re a husband and wife team and have been shooting weddings together since 2014. We’re interested in the raw emotion and real moments that make up your day. We love shooting real super 8mm film! Our inspirations include film photography, beautiful light, good storytelling, and love!

Awarded Best of Zola
It's hard to capture a romance that has lasted well over a decade, but Justin & Steph from American Rose Weddings did just that in the 15+ collective hours we spent with them. During the wedding planning process, securing a videographer was the last vendor we booked. Not because we were dragging our feet, but because we we could not find a videographer who matched our vision. We wanted the day to be remembered in a unique, authentic, timeless, and intimate way, but most of all, we wanted it to feel like "us." We wanted a videographer who could capture the small details that oftentimes go unnoticed during the day, but paint best picture of who the couple is. We didn't someone to just film the day, add orchestra audio, and call it a day. We wanted a unique storytelling experience from start to finish with someone who was a skilled cinematographer. After Skyping with Justin (and him showing me his collection of super8 cameras which was SO cool), I knew that it was a perfect match. We met Justin & Steph in-person during a couples shoot at our home. Immediately, we formed a connection. They were so easy to be around and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I could see the wheels turning in Justin's mind as the camera rolled, and I immediately could tell that Justin & Steph already knew what kind of story we wanted to have told. When the big day arrived, they were a calming presence in a swarm of craziness. After the wedding, we met up with Justin & Steph at a brewery to finish recording reading our letters to each other. This was the moment that reminded my husband and I that not only did we luck out in the wedding vendor department, but we just gained 2 new amazing friends. When we received the sneak peek and full video suite back (very promptly, I might add!), we could not believe what was in front of us. It was more than we could have ever hoped for. It was unlike any other wedding film we had seen before. It captured our romance and special day so perfectly. As my mom said, the video looked like a "a true Hollywood film." Working with Justin & Steph was one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process. When we look back fondly on 7/24/21, they are the reason that we will be able to do so clearly.

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!

I worked with Virginia for my October 2023 wedding and we also did a hair and makeup trial a few months prior. Virginia was so warm, friendly, and professional and delivered exactly what I asked for! I never wear makeup so I was nervous about wearing wedding makeup and asked her to help me look/feel like myself and she did just that. She took feedback extremely well and incorporated that feedback on the wedding day to help me feel my best! She made me feel so comfortable. My hair was amazing and she ensured my headpiece stayed secure - and it lasted and looked great all night! She did an amazing job with my mom and MOH as well - they both absolutely loved their looks, especially my mom who also doesn’t wear makeup regularly. I didn’t really consider that this is the vendor you spend your whole wedding morning with, which can really affect the energy as you prepare to get married. Virginia’s energy was so positive and really added to my day, which I am super grateful for. She felt like a longtime friend. Highly recommend her!!

  • Serves West Hartford, CT

Almost 20 years of experience and I still get as excited as I did when I first started photographing events! I got my BFA in photojournalism at Rochester Institute of Technology and my common sense from a well-lived, full life. From intimate weekday elopements to full scale destination events that require a team of photographers, I have done it all. I focus on telling the most full and vibrant story of your event, so you can look back and feel like you didn't missed a thing.

A camera can pick up the visual attraction of a moment, but most times it feels impossible to relive the actual energy of that place in time. Carla - is the absolute key to capturing every ounce of that magical energy. My wedding day was truly the most remarkable day of my life, and every single picture Carla took brings me back to that exact moment in a way I never thought a photo could do. Not only is she a visual genius - but she set the tone for the entire day. Some people in the bridal party who HATE having their picture taken, had so much fun they didn’t even realize they were having a “photo shoot”. Her attention to timing is flawless. Her timeline had every single picture we wanted to get, every friend and family member, every quirky thing I incorporated - and in the most elegant way I could have NEVER imagined. ALSO major plus - her son Jackson is a brilliant videographer. He did our video and their chemistry and vibrant energy was EVERYTHING!!!!! Do yourself a favor - just book her. She’s really busy because she’s so amazing so don’t wait. LOLOLOLOL

So, you need a makeup artist? You've come to the right place. Makeup has always been a passion in my life. I started dancing at three years old and with a mother whose makeup routine is a tinted lip balm and blush as a foundation -- let's just say we learned together over the years or rather, once I learned she just let me take over. I was confidently the only seven-year-old in my class getting myself ready for my recitals. From then on I was hooked, I mean makeup was an activity that encouraged the use of glitter... need I say anymore?

We hired Laura and her team for a large Indian wedding last July and they were wonderful. Beautiful work, and flexible as the timeline changed unexpectedly. We appreciate them!!

I am a Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer based in Hartford, Connecticut. I take you on a journey of Storytelling through Capturing Memories. In my journey with photography, you will be able to immerse yourself in that feeling of exploring a new place for the very first time, to freeze and re-live the moment forever. My journey started in Australia. Love of photography and always searching for a new adventure let me do weddings, engagement, and many other aspects of photography. My passion is photography every time I shoot an event.

Kani was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding photography. Their communication style is easygoing, responsive, and accommodating. Kani was flexible in tailoring the photography timeline to our preferences. The quality of their work is outstanding - the photos beautifully capture genuine emotions and special moments with artistic composition. We wanted to do something unique for our engagement shoot that required significant travel. Despite flight delays that made for an extra long day, Kani maintained a positive attitude and took time to get fantastic photos in multiple locations that we'll treasure. Overall, Kani is a talented, dedicated photographer who cares about clients and produces fantastic work and memories.
