5 stars is not enough. Our wedding was without a doubt the most perfect event we could have ever wished for. From the beginning planning stages, Hattie, Lauren, Kelley, everyone was so incredibly responsive, helpful and answered a million questions from myself or my mom. They worked with us to ensure everything was perfect, and we could not have had a more elegant wedding without the help of the entire venue staff. From day of Rob and everyone who assisted made sure things ran so smoothly. One of our busses was delayed due to traffic (Memorial Day Weekend- no surprise there) & even with the minor inconvenience the staff made sure that things ran so smoothly that myself (the bride) and my guests really had no clue things were pushed back a tiny bit. The food was outstanding, the service was impeccable. We had our cocktail hour both inside & outside and adding a second bar was ideal. We added a sushi bar, and my guests are still talking about how delicious it was. They accommodated all of our requests with ease, and I wish I could relive the day and night over and over again. All of my vendors informed me during the planning process just how professional and wonderful the venue is, and it could not be more true. They all worked seamlessly with Riverhouse. Our personal attendants were wonderful, ensuring myself and my husband had the best day and night of our lives. Most venues do not offer suites for grooms, and I am so happy that the men were able to have their own place to relax and hangout. our bridal suite was prepared perfectly for us with champagne snacks and everything we needed. Quality service is hard to come by these days, but every single staff member working at our wedding went above and beyond to make sure my husband, myself and my guests had an incredible night. My guests are still raving weeks later about the wedding. I could not recommend this venue and the entire staff enough, get married here!!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the most perfect wedding!!! ️️️

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so happy we chose Jeff and Mystic River Entertainment for our wedding at the Delamar Mystic. We spoke with several DJs during our planning process, but what ultimately drew us to Mystic River Entertainment was how straightforward and transparent everything was. The packages and services were easy to understand, and as a local vendor, Jeff was incredibly familiar with the Mystic area. It felt like fate when we learned that he had actually been married on the same property before the hotel was built. Even though the Delamar Mystic was still a brand-new venue, Jeff was already familiar with the space, having worked one of the weddings during its first season. From the start, Jeff was a pleasure to work with. He was communicative, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping us create the wedding we envisioned. We were very particular about our music selections and had several unique requests, including surprise performances and custom audio files. Jeff was accommodating every step of the way. He provided thoughtful professional guidance when needed, but always respected our preferences and helped bring our vision to life. Beyond the music itself, Jeff was instrumental in helping us personalize the event. He displayed our custom logo on the DJ booth, played a photo montage we created during the reception, and worked closely with us to coordinate a surprise musical performance by our friends by providing additional microphones and arranging a practice session during cocktail hour. He also allowed us to use a custom design for our photo booth prints, which added another personal touch for our guests. On the wedding day, everything was fantastic. Jeff did an outstanding job as both our DJ and emcee. He kept the event flowing smoothly, made announcements at exactly the right times, and ensured guests always knew what was happening next. When we needed to make last-minute adjustments to the program, he adapted seamlessly and kept everything running without a hitch. We never had to worry about the timeline because he had everything under control. The music was one of the highlights of the evening. Our family and friends loved the playlist, and we were especially impressed by how well our song selections were mixed and transitioned throughout the night. Jeff has an excellent ability to read the room and keep the energy exactly where it needs to be. The dance floor stayed packed, and every part of the evening felt perfectly paced. We also received numerous compliments on the photo booth. There was a minor hiccup with the printer, but Jeff and his assistant responded immediately and handled the issue professionally, which speaks volumes about their commitment to their clients and their guests' experience. If you're looking for a DJ who is professional, organized, flexible, and genuinely cares about making your wedding day special, we highly recommend Jeff and Mystic River Entertainment. We couldn't have been happier with our experience.

Hi guys! I’m Lauren and I am the owner of LA Page Makeup. I’ve been providing makeup services to CT and New England for over 14 years and have found nothing lights up my world more than serving clients and giving them the confidence to shine! I have earned my beauty and theatrical makeup certificates, as well as certificates in lash lifting and tinting, brow lamination, and more. Continued education is so important to me! My favorite part of doing makeup is the look of awe my clients get when they look in the mirror. If I can help give you the confidence and self-love to shine, I’ve done my job right!

I can't say enough good things about LA Page Makeup and their team. From the very first interaction, Lauren’s communication was efficient, responsive, organized and completely professional!! On the day of my wedding, Lauren and her team created a flawless look that lasted all day and night without needing any touch-ups. They kept everything running smoothly and on schedule the morning of the wedding, which was such a relief. Lauren and her team are absolute rockstars who clearly know what they're doing. I wasn't looking for a full-glam look for my wedding, and they captured exactly the natural yet beautiful style I was going for. Plus, they're all so hilarious and kind - it was a pleasure to have them be a part of our special day. The quality of their work is truly high-caliber and worth every single penny. The makeup and hair trials are also SOOO worth it. I highly recommend LA Page Makeup to any couple looking for a talented, experienced beauty team in Connecticut that will help make your wedding day perfect!!!

To know Julius is to appreciate his kindness and creative brilliance. When we began our wedding vendor search in 2021, I felt overwhelmed, but Julius came highly recommended. After seeing his work, we knew he had to be part of our special day. From our first conversation, he was responsive and made planning easier. On our wedding day, he captured every moment flawlessly, leaving a lasting impression on everyone. Post-wedding, he kept us updated on the video editing process, providing quick trailers and all the raw footage. Julius even sent us physical drives and a video moment book, making the experience feel personal and special. Reliving those moments has been a joy. If you’re considering a videographer, trust me: "do the video."

The only thing that exceeds CT Wedding Groups reputation is their execution. Our day was flawless. Our coordinator Mary is simply one of one. There is no one better. She was on top of everything we needed before we knew we needed it. It was no surprise to us how impeccably she did her job after working with her right hand, Eddie. They were an absolute dream team that left us wanting for nothing. Coming into our wedding day we had a very specific vision. CT Wedding Group took our vision and turned it from a reality to a living dream. There are 0 critiques, there are 0 regrets, they delivered in a way that still has our loved ones reaching out to rave about their experience. It all seemed too good to be true, but it was better. The food. The food. The food. The food. The food. The food. More than anything else we are getting non stop compliments about the food. Their culinary team was just out of this world. Our event chef Jeff delivered on a level that you can’t even find at some 5 star restaurants. This was not wedding food. This was bliss. On top of all of this was the service. Just the perfect finish. The servers and bartenders took care of our guests like their own family. This experience was unlike anything we could have imagined. CT Wedding Group is astounding. We simply cannot recommend them enough.

I had the pleasure of working with Hope Lodge Venue recently as a wedding photographer and I can say they are a fantastic choice . Their communication style is incredibly responsive, helpful, and enthusiastic - they go above and beyond to ensure every detail is taken care of. Great quality of work for a the value ; the venue is open, clean, bright, and airy, creating the perfect atmosphere for a wedding or big event . One memorable example was when the staff dressed up along with the Gatsby-themed wedding, truly immersing themselves in the couple's vision. My only suggestion would be for them to potentially expand their parking area in the future, but overall, Hope Lodge Venue is an excellent option for couples seeking a beautiful, well-managed wedding venue and one they could decorate and make their own.

We could not have been happier to have Victoria on our team for our July 2024 wedding! We hired Victoria for wedding day management. She went above and beyond throughout our planning process and made us feel like we were her top priority, even though we know she works with many couples throughout the wedding season. Her organization, attention to detail, and patience are unmatched. The BEO that she creates for the wedding day was so informative and detailed and brought so much joy to this Type A bride! During planning, I was struggling with the color scheme and table design for the reception. Victoria came to my rescue and helped design our table scapes and handled all correspondence with the rentals company. The outcome was absolutely stunning and I could not have been happier. Similarly, I did not know how to go about creating the timeline for our transportation and wedding day. Victoria provided this for us and it was seamless and so easy. Our family and wedding party were so impressed with how she ran our wedding rehearsal. On the wedding day itself, she made sure that the day flowed smoothly. From collecting and setting up all of our day-of details, orchestrating the flow of our wedding ceremony, and even bustling my wedding dress, she was involved in every aspect of our day and ensured that it was perfect. My husband and I could relax and be fully present knowing that Victoria had everything under control. I cannot recommend Victoria and Everlasting Affairs highly enough!

Upbeat storytelling. Free-form and candid! I have been full-time in the wedding industry for over 20 years specializing in short form wedding films and classic full length documentary edits. I have a true journalistic shooting style which means I will never be directing you or posing shots. I want you to be as natural as possible around me and want those moments to reflect in your final edit. You will find my short form videos to be much more on the upbeat side than most without the extensive use of voice narration throughout the entire video.

Nearing the second half of our engagement, my husband and I decided to book a videographer. The decision was easy once we came across Chad's beautiful work - and even more so after we started communicating with him. He was always prompt in his responses, thoughtful with his suggestions, and genuinely invested in making sure our vision came to life. On our wedding day, we were running behind schedule getting to the venue, but Chad was completely prepared and ready to go the moment we arrived. Throughout the day, he did a phenomenal job capturing our ceremony, first dances, speeches, and candid moments with our guests during cocktail hour and on the dance floor. What impressed us most was how seamlessly he blended into the celebration. He gave everyone the space to simply enjoy the day without ever feeling self-conscious in front of the camera. In fact, so many of our guests commented afterward, "You had a videographer? We didn't even notice!" That speaks volumes about the professionalism, attentiveness, and calm presence Chad brought to our wedding. We are beyond thrilled with our wedding film and highlight reel. They've allowed us to relive our favorite moments and share them with family and friends who continue to reminisce about such a special day. What we appreciate most is that Chad's work truly reflects who we are as a couple and the relationships we share with our families and friends. We weren't looking for overly dramatic edits or trendy effects - we wanted a video that felt authentic to us, and Chad delivered exactly that. If you're looking for a videographer who is responsive, professional, kind, and incredibly talented, look no further than Chad. From the moment we booked him, we knew we were in good hands. Being able to trust that he would capture every meaningful moment allowed us to focus on what mattered most: enjoying our wedding day. That peace of mind is truly priceless, and we couldn't recommend him more highly.

Chelsea is AMAZING! We did our engagement shoot and wedding photos with Chelsea; my husband and I head over heels in love with how the photos came out. During all the time we spent with Chelsea, she made us feel so comfortable and natural. We loved how Chelsea let us be ourselves and captured all the beautiful candid moments of us together. She knows how to bring a good balance of candid photos and posed photos (which can sometimes feel awkward, but she made it so easy and fun!). She is insanely creative! We gave her some general direction of what photos we wanted and trusted that she could have fun and surprise us with the results. She more than delivered with this! Chelsea also is so impressive with her turnaround time for photos. Both our engagement shoot photos and wedding photos were returned to us so fast! Our wedding guests raved about the photos. We cannot wait to return to Chelsea in the future, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a photographer!

Evergreen Farms was an amazing place to host our wedding weekend. Not only is the venue rustic, up and coming, and classic, the owners Jess and Mike are there for you from ever before you book with them, throughout the whole planning process, and during your wedding day. For us, their help on our wedding day went above and beyond. Our wedding day was filled with severe thunderstorm warnings and during our reception as it was down pouring, Jess and Mike were outside preventing flooding with shopvacs and sandbags so our caterers could enter and leave safely. All of this happened behind the scenes. What drew us for the venue from the beginning was the ability to have the venue for the whole weekend - afternoon on Friday through early Sunday morning. We were able to host our rehearsal dinner, set up early on Friday and then breakdown our items on Sunday morning which eased up our stress quite a bit. Our guests were in awe of the beauty of the venue. My husband and I couldn’t recommend Evergreen Farms more for your special day.

Rebecca was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding! From the very beginning, she was so easy to work with, incredibly helpful, and very reasonably priced. The flowers were absolutely gorgeous and SO fresh, and everything came together even better than I imagined. She completely understood my vision and made the entire process feel effortless. We received so many compliments on the flowers and I truly couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out. I would recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and affordable florist. Thank you so much for making our wedding so beautiful!

Shakeup Makeup is the perfect company for your wedding day makeup. The owner, Marisa, is an absolute pleasure to work with and is a true artist when it comes to makeup. We had set up a trial day before the wedding and I could not be happier. And somehow, on the day of the wedding, the final product was even more stunning! Marisa is personable, professional, and knows her craft. My makeup and the makeup she did for the entire wedding party lasted all day and night, even though we danced with great intensity and really put it to the test! I did not have to touch up my makeup once throughout the night and got many compliments on how it looked. Do not hesitate to book Shakeup Makeup for your next wedding or event!

One can hardly describe the magic of a wedding morning. The soft hum of anticipation, the laughter tucked between moments, and the memories that will linger long after. Together with your stylist, your look is planned in careful detail, harmonizing with your dress, your vision, and the vibe you are creating. On the day, we arrive prepared with artistry and expertise, letting the morning unfold effortlessly. Every look is created to feel timeless in photographs, yet as natural as it is refined.

I selected Meghan after reviewing her website and instagram, I was very impressed with her work and could tell from the photos that she was meticulous when I came to styling hair. She definitely delivered! Meghan and her assistant flawlessly styled 13 different women's hair the morning of my wedding. Everyone looked amazing and were happy with their hair styles which is not an easy feat. I am very happy I selected hairstyles.co for my wedding!

I love capturing weddings in a way that feels real and true to who you are. My style is true to color with a mix of candid moments and gently guided portraits. I’ll step in when you need direction and step back when the moments are happening on their own so you can enjoy your day without feeling like you’re constantly posing. I’m based in Connecticut and have a studio in New London. I love working with couples who are excited to celebrate their story. Whether you’re planning a small or a big celebration, I’d be honored to be part of it.

Hands down an amazing photographer!! Jeshalee has always made me feel so comfortable and confident during my photoshoots! Her attention to detail is amazing! She always knows how to bring my visions to life.

Working with Valerie made our final month of planning so much more manageable and stress-free. From our first meeting, she communicated clearly about what to expect and stayed on top of every detail. She proactively reached out to the rest of our vendors to confirm timelines and final details, which meant nothing fell through the cracks on the day of. During the wedding, Val made sure everything ran like clockwork while also paying close attention to how our decor came together. It was such a relief knowing we were in good hands with her setting everything up, and our vision looked even better than we imagined.

Abby is a no brainer hire! Incredibly thoughtful, experienced, knowledgeable, intuitive, comprehensive, kind, and affordable! We were on a pretty tight budget so we hired Abby for her partial planning/day-of coordination and I can’t imagine what we would have done without her. I planned everything myself but as soon as she came on board, I felt so much comfort and relief knowing my wedding was in good hands and I could focus on other things. She is the definition of PRO. We had event staff bail the night before and she was able to find an amazing team of folks to fill their shoes! She ran our rehearsal like a well-oiled machine. She saw me dancing with my new husband with an empty drink in my hand and quickly swooped in to grab it; it’s the little things that tell you she’s putting you first on the most important day of your life. My entire wedding party adored her and even invited her out to the after party! If I could give her 50 stars I would. As my bridesmaids would say, QUEEN ABBY FOREVER. ️
