Hi there! Welcome to the most freshest, prettiest cocktail bar- that travels to you! Whether it be your backyard, venue or park. You get a choice of the 1970s horse trailer bar or our portable wood bar great for indoor or outdoor events. Let us take care of you on your special day!

There is a lot to plan for a big event, from food, music, venue, guest list, and so on. It can be so stressful as we all know. I heard of Mobile Mixology through a friend and decided that if I could eliminate one of the many event tasks from my mind, I’d be a fool not to! Enya did just that for me. I told her what the theme of our party was, what sort of drinks we like, and approximate headcount, and she said I’ll take it from here. Not only did I no longer have to worry about planning out drinks, she elevated the level of my party! She made amazing cocktails and supplied the guys with all the beer they could drink. She had a few really nice wine options as well. I did the math out and this was a really economical choice for what we received. She was so friendly and many guests commented to me that this was “so cool” to have. I didn’t have to clean anything up either! Enya is on speed dial for my next party.

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!

We could not recommend Emily's Catering Group more! Our wedding was August 25, 2018 at South Farms in Morris, CT. People say the food at your wedding is one of the most important and memorial parts of your day and it's true! People are still raving about the food they had at our wedding till this day and the fantastic service by the ECG's team! From the very first point of contact Rick and his team were extremely attentive. Cheryl would answer our emails within 24 hours (which for a bride planning a wedding is SO impressive!) The tasting we had was intimate and Rick walked us through the process of what our guests experience would be like the day of our wedding. The passed hors d'oeuvres were never ending during cocktail hour-- our guests we're SO impressed and FULL of delicious tasting food they were wondering how they would be able to eat during dinner. Rick and his team brought my charcuterie table dreams come to life! There was specific staff members from the ECG's team that were in charge of basically following us around during our event to make sure we had all the food we ever wanted and a drink was always full in our hands. It was so refreshing to feel so well taken care of on our special day. We are so happy we chose Emily's Catering Group for our wedding day and we continue to use them to cater all of our events. They are the best of the best!

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!!

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.

Ben has been fantastic. He was in charge of making the video for our wedding day and he did an amazing job! Very professional and great to work with during the preparations, the wedding day and afterwards for editing the final videos- a big thank you!! Ben is a great listener and puts clients first. He was very perceptive on the couple's liking to Boston and included some scenic parts of the city in our highlight reel ( it was special to me!) - We had a Sangeet ceremony followed by Bollywood and Classical dances. Ben did a great job in understanding the program timeline and coordinated so well with the photographer. We planned our wedding from London and Ben's response time was impeccable that planning from continents apart didn't make a difference. My best part while establishing the contract/planning with Ben was that we only had to go through the details once. He executed it so well!!! Didn't rush us in any follow ups and was always considerate of our schedule - That's definitely a bonus celebration when the wedding planning gets busier and there's a lot on our plate. My husband and I truly enjoyed working with Ben. He is a very kind person we have met! We look forward to working with Ben again in the future for another event, and wish him the best!

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.

Words cannot express how thankful my husband and I are for Rye Street Events! Caroline was absolutely amazing to work with. She was sooo personable, punctual and professional and friendly right from the very start. I knew we made the right decision from the beginning with her very fast response time. We chose to do month-of coordination for our wedding and Caroline met with us ahead of time to explain her role prior to us deciding to go with her. She ensured that our wedding rehearsal was organized and kept everyone on track, and that our wedding day was as smooth as possible, she took care of all the bumps, when we were running behind she was quick on her feet to move things around to keep us on schedule without feeling stressed. I cant thank Caroline and her assistant Maddie enough for their help making our wedding day truly unforgettable. They even broke everything down and helped us to clear out the venue when the wedding was over which was such a HUGE help! I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Rye Street Events and am so thankful that I can across them. You will not be disappointed!

Hello! We’re the DJs at AXETOWN Entertainment, and we know choosing the right DJ can feel overwhelming. You’re probably wondering if they’ll match your taste, read the room, connect with your guests, and still be worth the investment. That’s where we come in. We don’t just play music—we curate moments. 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.

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better DJ! From the start, Mario was amazing to work with—super responsive, organized, and incredibly flexible with our laid-back “we’ll see what happens” approach. He helped us build a timeline that felt natural and stress-free, which made such a difference leading up to the wedding. On the wedding day, he absolutely nailed it. The music was everything we hoped for and more—it felt so personalized and collaborative. He did an incredible job mixing different styles and genres to keep all of our guests engaged, and the energy on the dance floor never dropped. We received so many compliments about how great the music was! Beyond being a talented DJ, Mario is just a genuinely great person who truly cares about making your day special. We’re so grateful to have had him as part of our wedding and would recommend him to anyone for weddings or events.

  • Serves Kensington, CT

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.

We booked Wild Wild Zest for a mocktail bar at my wedding in September of 2025 in Fairhaven, MA. They were AMAZING!! The drinks were incredible, people raved about them throughout the reception. I personally loved the customization process and the ability to make a bride's drink and the groom's drink that was showcased at the bar. Their syrups are mostly all homemade and SO delicious! Jasmine and her husband were extremely kind, helpful, and easy to work with!!! I would absolutely recommend them for your event.

We had an amazing experience with Mel and Go Event Group. Not only is Mel professional and extremely skilled in her field, she is so incredibly kind and down to earth. She made us awkward birds feel so insanely comfortable in front of the camera. She helped us feel relaxed and at ease the entire time while still directing us in a way to capture all the magic. She could read the room and could tell when my husband, who genuinely hates getting his pictures done, needed a breather. The pictures are more than I could have ever imagined, she captured the essence of the day so perfectly. And did I mention she was 9 month pregnant!? Such a trouper, didn’t leave until she captured every moment of the day/night. Highly recommend, book her NOW!

Chelsea Lavallee Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication was easy, quick, and always accurate, which put us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was absolute perfection - the photos are light, clear, and airy, perfectly capturing the beauty and joy of our special day. As someone who finds it difficult to have photos taken and be the center of attention, Chelsea made the experience easy and comfortable. We are thrilled with the stunning photos that will allow us to cherish our wedding memories for years to come. We highly recommend Chelsea Lavallee Photography to any couple planning their wedding.
