The Stately Rose Beauty Studio 
Rating: 5.0 (35 reviews)

  • Team of 12
  • Serves Windsor Locks, 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!

Our wedding at The Riverview was truly one of the most incredible experiences of our lives, and we honestly cannot stop reliving how perfect everything felt. From the moment we started planning to the very last song of the night, every detail was handled with so much care, professionalism, and genuine warmth. Kayla, our coordinator, was nothing short of amazing. She made the entire process feel easy and enjoyable, always one step ahead. Her calm, confident presence made such a difference, and we always felt like we were in the best hands. Brittany, the assistant coordinator, was equally wonderful and so attentive, kind, and supportive every step of the way. On our wedding day, not only did we have Kayla and Brittany, but we also had Cam and Tara, two more bridal attendants that were absolute lifesavers. They anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and made sure we could truly be present and soak in every moment. I honestly don't think I turned around once without them handing me food or drink! The service was outstanding across the board. The waitstaff was incredibly professional, fast, and attentive, making all of our guests feel so well taken care of. And the food, wow! It was beyond delicious. We are still hearing from guests about how amazing every course was. It truly exceeded all expectations. Nicole and Will at the bar were fantastic, friendly, efficient, and so fun. They kept the drinks flowing and the energy high all night long, and our guests absolutely loved them. We have had so many people reach out to us since the wedding saying it was one of the best they have ever been to from the food, the service, the atmosphere, everything. That says it all. The Riverview and their entire team made our day feel effortless, beautiful, and unforgettable in every possible way. We are so incredibly grateful and would recommend them to anyone without hesitation!

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.

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!!

Rachel was amazing to work with and extremely talented. She spent so much time speaking with my husband and I about exactly what we wanted. We sent her inspiration photos and she really brought our vision to life - and then some! The arrangements were more beautiful than I could have imagined. The wedding that happened after our send off brunch wanted to take our arrangements for their wedding!! Others at the resort walked by and asked to take photos. Our florals were one of the most talked about features of our wedding by our guests and we owe it all to FlowerWorks! Rachel was early and quick with set up.

Kristen was amazing! From the rehearsal to the day of the wedding, she handled everything! I had such piece of mind knowing that the venue was set up properly, all questions were directed and answered by her, and that everything was going perfectly plan! I highly recommend Hazel Events to any bride!

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. I specialize in capturing weddings, couples, and all the big + small moments that make your story yours. 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 were absolutely thrilled to have chosen Shukhrat and Rachel as our wedding photographers!! We interviewed countless photographers and Shukhrat stood out the most. They did an amazing job with both our engagement photos and the wedding photos. They directed us on how to pose and had great attention to details! We were super comfortable being around them and they actually made the photography sessions fun!! You can tell Shukhrat and Rachel love what they do and they are phenomenal at it. Please don’t look any further you will not be disappointed with booking them for your wedding! His portfolio speaks for itself. The photos are classy, elegant and timeless.

We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Taylor events and how great Paul did from Start to finish. He made our wedding night absolutely unforgettable. He went above and beyond to help us choose songs that were meaningful and personable for our biggest moments, making both our ceremony and reception feel completely us. Every transition was seamless and emotional when it needed to be and so much fun when it was time to celebrate. the lighting throughout the evening was stunning, and elegant during dinner and then energetic and vibrant once the dancing began, the dance floor was never empty. He did an incredible job reading the room, keeping the energy high and getting guests of all ages out and moving! seeing my friends doing the worm and splits was hysterical They are a wild bunch, but he encouraged every minute of it so that we were having a blast. The Photo Booth and voicemail phone were huge hits and had everyone laughing, being silly and creating memories we will cherish forever. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had. without him our wedding simply would not have been the fantastic night it was. His professionalism, creativity, and passion truly shine through in everything he does. We cannot recommend him enough to anyone looking for a DJ who will make their event unforgettable!

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.

Where do I begin? I contacted Sarah a couple months prior to my wedding and she was so enthusiastic to help! I’ve known Sarah since high school and have seen her grow as a hairstylist/make up artist through social media so I really did trust that she would make me shine for my big day. From getting my hair colored prior to the wedding, to the hair and make up trial and me leaving feeling like an absolute princess, I was ready for my wedding to come. Sarah made me feel so welcome in her studio and answered any and all of my questions no matter how dumb they seemed. Wedding day came and went in a flash, she was on time (early), she battled my toddlers getting into her things when she first entered and she made me feel like I was her priority, like nothing else mattered except my hair and make up on my special day. She nailed the inspo pics of both hair style and make up, she gave me extra tips and tricks to keep things in check for when it came time for pictures, and having her there even just as an old friend put the nerves at ease. If you’re looking for someone to do an incredible job on both hair and make up, make you laugh, and make you feel like nothing else and no one else matters aside from you looking gorgeous on your special day, choose Sarah.
