The Liquorist MD 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
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.

Awarded Best of Zola
The team at The Stately Rose Beauty Studio was an absolute dream. From our very first interaction, the owner was clear on what to expect while being very personable. Their work was professional, creative, and attentive - the hair (for me) and makeup they did for me and my bridesmaids was stunning and lasted all day long. The morning with the Stately Rose team was so fun and stress-free, which was exactly what I needed. We had a few bridesmaids come unprepared and it was no problem for them. I couldn't have asked for a better beauty experience, and I highly recommend them.

Hi! My name is Matt and I am the owner and head DJ of Style Points DJs. I began DJing in 2016 with my friend Jerry after discovering a mutual love for electronic dance music from the likes of Zedd, Martin Garrix, and Hardwell. I've found an overwhelming passion in DJing and event coordinating, so much so that I've worked tirelessly to do it full-time since 2021. I believe that the DJ is the cornerstone of wedding vendors and I do everything in my power to make sure that I can make the vision of your wedding into a reality.

Awarded Best of Zola
DJ Style Points was incredible to work with and played a huge role in making our wedding night a massive success. Our guest list spanned multiple generations, so we really needed someone who knew how to read the room and keep everyone engaged. Matt understood this perfectly—he had the dance floor packed all night and blended the music seamlessly. Any concerns we had regarding song lengths or flow, he was already ahead of it. He uses a custom planning form that was incredibly thorough, which made it so easy for us to help structure our timeline and music preferences. It also didn't go unnoticed by our other vendors; they were all very complimentary of how well he managed the energy throughout the night. If you want a DJ who is organized, professional, and a true master at keeping the party going, look no further!

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.

From the moment I spoke with Pam in regards to booking for my wedding, she has been nothing but spectacular. I had received a quote promptly and the booking process was painless and easy(planning for a wedding is tough!). I first met Pam for my Bridal Trial (which we set up for the morning of my Bridal Shower). I received non-stop compliments about how flawless my makeup was. About a month before wedding day, Pam followed up with the wedding day timeline which made it easy to communicate to my girls. Wedding day! Pam arrived on time, had set up so quickly and was ready to go! All my bridesmaids were so shocked on their makeup. I had a range of different skin colors and textures of my girls and Pam was able to work with the different skin tones! They were absolutely breathtaking. Its rare to find someone who can provide services working with a wide range of skin tones. Now, my makeup was absolutely fabulous! The smokey eyes, wispy lashes, contoured cheeks and blush was gorgeous. I couldn't stop looking at myself in the mirror. I felt the most beautiful on my wedding day. Pam took her time and adjusted if I wanted something darker or different. I, of course, wanted alllll the glam. She gave me a beautiful glow on my shoulders and chest. My makeup lasted all day. The pictures below say it for themselves. You'd be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't book with PG Beauty. 3

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.

Bevida & Company is a craft cocktail and mocktail mobile bar based in New Britain, Connecticut. Founded by Bianca Alvarado. We offer cocktails, mocktails, and low-ABV options so everyone at the party can feel included. Each recipe is developed in-house, using fresh-pressed juices, hand-squeezed citrus, and small-batch infusions, with a focus on local and seasonal sourcing whenever possible.

If I could leave 100 stars I would. From the moment I even sent an in inquiry to Bianca, I knew I wanted to hire her. She is a top notch professional, incredibly sweet, thoughtful and went above and beyond to make our day magical. Everyone kept telling me how wonderful Bianca and Dan were and how beautiful the bar trailer was. Not only was the trailer gorgeous at the venue, she went as far as to have custom napkins and drink stirrers made for us. It was such a small, sweet surprise and as the bride- there weren’t many surprises for me as I was involved in all the planning so that little touch meant so much. I could not recommend Bevida & Company more for any event!! I truly can not express how incredible Bianca made the experience from start to finish. Thank you Bianca & Dan!!

Shukhrat Kamalov was a standout HIT. Our guests felt like absolute celebs! We didn't want the standard photobooth as it can come off a little too cheesy for my tastes. And since we were asking all of our guests to come dressed in their best, we decided it was only appropriate they also get their own designated photographer. Shukhrat took his time with each of our guest's photo sessions, directing them and taking multiple shots until our guests loved what he captured. AND he printed them out so our guests had something to bring home. All of our guests told us that these photos would be framed in their home . THEY WERE THAT GOOD.

Where to even begin. My wife and I are beyond thrilled with the service and space provided at The Riverview. Kayla Rosenbeck was our coordinator and point of contact throughout our planning period. She was incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable throughout the year leading up to our event. My wife and I had a two-day experience at the venue in celebration of a traditional Hindu ceremony. The coordination of an outside caterer, working with their in-house kitchen, designing and decorating the space differently to mark the two events was a complex task. Kayla and her team did it without blinking. In the days of our events, my wife and I were supported by Cam and Tanya, two wonderfully dedicated attendants. They made sure we were fed, hydrated, and well cared for. They put us at ease immediately. The entire staff at The Riverview, from Kayla and her team, to reception, to kitchen, to custodial, was top-notch. We could not have asked for a more thorough and complete experience.

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.

When we were in the process of looking for photo/video vendors for our wedding, we knew we wanted a combined service, but we were having a hard time finding the right fit. Someone I was looking into did not have our date available, but they recommended Tree Films Creative. When I say this was the best thing that could've happened to us, I MEAN IT. Tree Films has been nothing short of amazing. I was amazed that they were even available for our date. From the very beginning, Ashley was so personable, she listened to what we wanted, she was knowledgeable, and so professional. She was our main point of contact and her and I instantly became what felt like good friends (even though I only met her via zoom calls). I asked her for help with a few things throughout the process and she never batted an eye and helped me with it all! She was very responsive; I was never waiting for a response or wondering what was going on. She always kept me in the loop. Once our big day finally arrived, Ashley and her team were at the venue before I arrived. She greeted me and I felt like I already knew her. The entire Tree Films Creative team made me, my husband, and entire bridal party comfortable and I remember having a sense of ease. I could not recommend this team enough. They went above and beyond for everything on my wedding day and beyond. At this moment, I have received photo previews, which was way more than I thought, (happily) and I cannot wait for more! I have seen the teaser film and am just blown away. I am patiently waiting to see the rest of the photos and videos and I know for a fact that they are going to be incredible. I am so happy they were the ones who captured our day for us. I can go on and on about Tree Films; they were a literal DREAM TEAM. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend!

As a wedding photographer, I work with a wide range of planners, but Tanya from Bookmarked Weddings truly stands out. Our most recent wedding together was a 2025 New Year’s Eve wedding, and it was clear from the start that this wasn’t just another event—it was a fully immersive experience, thanks in large part to Tanya’s vision and execution. The day was filled with intricate details: a balldrop at midnight filled with bubbles, an elegant champagne tower, and a timeline packed with special moments and intentional design. Tanya handled it all with a calm, confident presence and exceptional attention to detail. She built a full-day timeline that was both comprehensive AND realistic—which meant everything ran smoothly, and I was able to capture the day naturally without unnecessary stress or delays. Tanya’s coordination behind the scenes allowed the couple to stay present and enjoy every moment while ensuring that vendors like myself had exactly what we needed to do our jobs well. Her thoughtful approach and clear communication made a huge difference throughout the day. The energy of a New Year’s Eve wedding is already electric, but Tanya elevated it with a sense of elegance, organization, and creativity that made the whole celebration feel effortless and magical. If you're looking for a planner who can manage complex, high-energy events with grace, precision, and style, Tanya from Bookmarked Weddings is it. Every time I know we are going to work together, I fist pump the air in celebration because it will be FLAWLESS! — Cait Fletcher Cait Fletcher Photography

I told her that I wanted “sunflowers, but not in a boho way”, and she was fully game to take on the challenge- and she for sure delivered! She designed exactly what I had in my head and made it even more beautiful than I could have imagined, and checked in with me every step of the way. I also appreciate that she has rentals for the “hardware” part of florals- because who just has a wedding arch and dozens of vases laying around? The flowers arrived on the day-of looking fresh and bright, and she even took a few of the extra flowers she had left over to scatter around on our guest book table. The clean up was quick and easy, and again she took care of all of the rental materials. We are so lucky that we found her!

Every event tells a story, and we tailor every beat to your vision and your crowd, from timeless classics to today’s hits with custom remixes and live mash-ups. Proudly based in Canton, CT, we bring 27+ years and 4,000+ events of experience. AXETOWN Entertainment—more than music. It’s a vibe.

If you are looking for a wedding DJ, stop searching right now and hire Mario from Axetown Entertainment. Seriously. He was the DJ for our wedding, and without exaggeration, he is hands-down the best DJ I have ever seen at any event—period. From a technical standpoint, Mario is a master at his craft. He isn't just someone pressing play on a playlist; his song selection, seamless beat-matching, and ability to blend tracks together kept our dance floor completely packed all night. So many of our guests came up to us during and after the wedding raving about the music. You can instantly tell how much effort, talent, and real attention to detail he puts into his sets. Beyond his incredible mixing skills, Mario made the entire planning process totally stress-free. He was insanely communicative from day one, and it was clear his single biggest priority was making sure we had the perfect day. He proactively coordinated with all of our vendors and our venue coordinator, double-checking every detail behind the scenes so that the entire evening ran without a single hitch. We didn't have to worry about a thing. On top of all that professionalism, Mario is genuinely one of the kindest, most positive people you will ever meet. Working with him was absolute joy, and his great energy is magnetic. Do yourself a favor and book him. Mario is truly the only DJ you will ever need!

Welcome! I am a daughter of Vietnamese immigrants who chose to move to Connecticut, where I have lived for most of my life. I love the change of seasons in this part of the country and all the rich backdrops it brings for imagery (and mental health walks and runs). My cultural heritage is the foundation for my photographic passion. My camera allows me to work where I know I work best, behind-the-scenes, front row at some of the most profound moments in people's lives. In a pinch though, I'll be there carrying the train, making sure you don't get your shoes dirty and helping to support you where I can throughout your wedding day!

Kim was incredible to work with! She was so helpful in creating the timeline for our wedding day and giving us suggestions on how to make everything flow. She was on time, kept track of all the photos we wanted and made sure that everyone was in the right place at the right time. The photos are stunning too - I can’t wait to get the whole album back. I couldn’t recommend her more.
