The Liquorist MD 

5.0

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!

Dan and his staff truly know what they’re doing! We received compliments all night on how amazing the drinks were and how fun and engaging the bartenders were. We originally booked them because of their great reviews and their adorable horse trailer bar, but since our venue already had its own bar setup, we didn’t end up using the trailer. That didn’t matter one bit as we found the real magic and charm came from their incredible drink-making skills and personalities! We highly recommend them, especially if your venue requires you to bring in outside vendors. They were a joy to work with and helped make our night unforgettable!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot thank The Stately Rose enough for the amazing work they did on my wedding day! From the very beginning, they were such a pleasure to work with. I felt very outside my comfort zone in knowing what kind of look I wanted and they were so helpful in narrowing down the style I liked and helped me in deciding between traditional or airbrush makeup. While I was nervous going into it, they consistently put me at ease. On the big day, they did an absolutely stunning job for me, my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law. Janelle is truly the best at updos and I got so many compliments throughout the day on the glam look Lexus gave me. I felt so beautiful, and I know the other women did too! We didn’t have a lot of space to work with, but they handled it like pros, adapting to our surroundings without skipping a beat. Their professionalism and positive attitude really helped set the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable morning. Thank you so much, The Stately Rose, for making us all look and feel our best on such a special day! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a talented, kind, and dependable team for their wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Just absolutely outstanding, every step of the way. We hired Ariana and her company to play music for our entire wedding (ceremony & reception). A string quartet and drummer. Wouldn't hesitate to hire them again. Our guests were both surprised and filled with wonder at how the music fit seamlessly with the wedding: that's the beauty of the art and the professionalism that that Ariana String Groups brings. Ariana's group learned a new song especially for me, and it meant so much for me to hear it at the wedding (Both Sides Now, by Joni Mitchell). One of the incredible things about Ariana and her company is that they aren't just about the music: they help you every step of the way. We needed help and advice on many "things wedding" and Ariana not only helped us make decisions, but she and her team stepped up and coordinated when we needed help. Music is extremely important in my life, but I had some very specific requirements for the wedding because of my own needs. Ariana never hesitated - she was a true partner. It was a blessing to not have to worry about something I needed to go right. Fabulous.

Awarded Best of Zola
We used Ben to video our December 30 wedding. The choice to use a Videographer was last minute on our part, but Ben made himself available, was very easy to work with, and every meeting with him was stress-free. Ben made communicating prior to the wedding as easy as possible, always making himself available and making sure he met our needs. As far as the wedding day, he made sure my husband and I got what we wanted, and made sure all of our special moments were captured for us to look back on. He was flexible during the wedding day as far as when he was working, and when he was taking a break to make sure that we had all the footage we would need. We received the finish product just about three weeks after the wedding, and we couldn’t be happier! Overall, I would highly recommend Ben if you are in need of Videographer.

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!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Our experience with The Riverview was incredible from start to finish. The process of booking included a detailed tour of the venue and a thorough review of the terms and conditions at a meeting to sign the contract, leaving us confident that we fully understood what we were agreeing to. Our tasting event was a wonderful chance to see the team in action and make some decisions about our own menu based on what we did and didn’t like. We worked with Kayla and Meghan as our coordinators, both of whom were a pleasure to work with and extremely responsive throughout the planning process. We were able to take advantage of their expertise based on experiences with past weddings but still had the flexibility to customize the details of the day so that it didn’t feel like a “cookie-cutter” event. And the physical space is truly beautiful! Our planning experience was wonderful, but the experience with the venue and team on the day of our wedding was exceptional. Meghan’s positive but firm leadership kept things moving smoothly and between her and our attendants, Cam and Felicia, every detail was attended to! They were prepared for everything, even wardrobe malfunctions, makeup mishaps, and last-minute requests. We did quite a bit of DIY planning and customizing, but on the day of, we did not need to lift a finger! We were especially impressed the the special attention paid to our priorities. My husband and I were excited about our menu and prioritized food during our planning meetings. At our wedding, the venue made sure we had plenty of opportunity to eat, but the excitement of the day took away our appetite. The Riverview team packed up all of the food we couldn’t eat and sent us home with our leftovers (plus some!) so that we still got to enjoy our meal! Another item worth noting is that although two weddings took place that night, we never would have known it! We could not hear the other wedding in our ballroom and never encountered the other group during the entire time we were on site! In short, planning our wedding at The Riverview was an amazing experience, and the wedding day itself was even better! I’d encourage anyone to book!

David was absolutely amazing, and we truly could not have had a better experience. We did not start looking for officiants as early as the other vendors, and I was feeling a bit stressed about it, but David made the process as easy and seamless as possible. He worked with us leading up to the event to make sure that the ceremony felt like us and was happy to make any adjustments we wanted even right up to the event. We really appreciated that we could be as much or little involved in the details of the ceremony as we wanted. The ceremony was beautiful - not only did we think David was amazing, but we got so many compliments from our guests as well (and he also took care of all the paperwork which was very much appreciated so we could focus on all the other important things). We feel so fortunate that we chose to work with David for our wedding - could not recommend him enough.

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.

Walking into the morning of your wedding day can be nerve wracking and very emotional. Everyone is running around getting ready; people are getting their hair and make up done others are steaming all our dresses. It can be very stressful. BUT with all the craziness going on around me the moment I sat in Sarah’s chair I felt calm and everything fell into place. She made sure that her and I had our own space that no one could interrupt. Anything I needed she made sure to tell someone to get it for me. I told Sarah I wanted my makeup to be very natural and light and she delivered tenfold. I didn’t feel like my face was caked with makeup all night, the foundation didn’t make my face feel heavy. I truly couldn’t have looked more beautiful. Unfortunately the morning of my wedding was very humid so that meant I was most likely going to change my hair style. Sarah and myself both planned for my hair to be down during our trial run, but Mother Nature had other plans. The moment I saw Sarah that morning she looked at me and went updo? I laughed and confirmed because she already knew what I was thinking before I said it. Instead of being annoyed or panicked I changed my hair style the last moment; she smiled and hugged me and insured me I would look beautiful no matter what my hair style was and everything would be okay. Sure enough everything was perfect (yes it really was perfect). I fell in love with my updo instantly! The amount of compliments I got on my hair and makeup the night of my wedding and weeks after says it all; to how phenomenal of an artist Sarah Mains truly is. If you are looking for someone who is relatable, reliable, and who’s AMAZING at hair and make up for your wedding look no further. I highly recommend Sarah Mains for hair and makeup for your special day, you won’t regret it!

I have been a wedding and event planner for over five years, bringing a wealth of experience and a passion for creating unforgettable celebrations. Before stepping into the world of weddings and events, I was a teacher — a role that honed her organization skills, creativity, and ability to keep even the busiest schedules running smoothly. Today, I combine those strengths with my love for celebrating love stories, creating magical events, guiding my couples through every detail to help them plan the wedding or event of their dreams.

Ashley deserves a million stars! Words cannot express how much her commitment, professionalism, expertise, and overall impressiveness meant to me, my husband, my family, and our entire wedding party. Not to mention our fellow vendors and venue! Every single person and team who came into contact with Ashley throughout our wedding process was grateful to work with her. We truly cannot recommend her enough. She continues to be a considerate and encouraging friend even after the wedding weekend has come and gone. Future clients will be so lucky to have her!

We seriously can’t say enough good things about Shukhrat and Rachel. From the moment we met them, we knew we were in the best hands. Not only are they incredibly talented, but they’re also just genuinely kind, calming, and lovely people to be around — exactly the kind of energy you want on your wedding day. They made us feel so comfortable, like we were just hanging out with friends — and somehow, in the middle of all that, they captured the most beautiful, emotional, and real moments of our day. When we got the photos back, we were completely blown away. They didn’t just take pictures — they told the story of our day in a way that felt true to us. Looking through our gallery brings back all the joy, love, and magic we felt, and we’ll honestly treasure these photos forever. We feel so lucky to have had Shukhrat and Rachel as our photographers — they’re the best decision we made (besides marrying each other!).
