We used them for rentals and got our tent, tables, chairs, linens and dance floor from them. But the most awesome thing they did was with the lighting in the tent. It was a combo of up lighting (I think thats what its called) and string lighting which really set the mood. Everything was delivered and set up on time and looked great!

Awarded Best of Zola
The Stately Rose Beauty Studio was absolutely amazing to work with for my wedding day. From the very first consultation, they were prompt, proactive, and made me feel at ease. Their communication was top-notch, and they went above and beyond to ensure my hair and makeup were perfect. Despite the incredibly windy conditions that forced us to move cocktail hour inside, my hair and makeup stayed flawless through all the outdoor photos and the rest of the reception. I received so many compliments on my hair and make up, even days later. My mother-in-law even shed a few happy tears at how beautiful her make up looked. The team at Stately Rose has such great personalities - they were efficient, skilled, and made the entire process so easy. I cannot recommend them highly enough for any bride looking for an amazing beauty team for their special day.

My experience with PG Beauty bar was amazing from start to finish. Pam was excellent with communication right from our first email, making the whole process seamless. On my wedding day, Pam and Brenna drove to an Air BnB I was staying at to get ready even though it was in the middle of nowhere. They were both on time and even finished early! Pam did my makeup and it was the perfect subtle glam look. It lasted AL NIGHT even through hours of dancing and sweating. Brenna styled my hair exactly how I had envisioned, listening to my requests for some changes to the style and giving me the most elegant look. The quality of their work was flawless and they are both so nice and such a pleasure to work with. I couldn't recommend this talented team enough for your wedding day or any special event.

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.

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!!

  • Best for events with big guest lists
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!

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. We had absolutely no issues working with her, it was a beyond pleasant experience and I keep trying to find a reason to hire her again!!

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.

Ashley Albanese Weddings and Events

  • Planner
  • Offers 2 services
  • Starts at $3,950
  • Serves Newington, CT

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!).

Hi! Thanks for checking out our portfolio! We are a husband and wife team and we are so passionate about love and weddings. Melanie has been a photographer since 2009 and Brian has been a photographer since 2011. Together, we have specialized in weddings since 2015. We have photographed in almost every New England state and have photographed destination weddings as far as South Carolina and Michigan. Besides wedding photography, we love spending time with our two sons, our two cats and our dog. We love spending time together and traveling. Our dream is to bring the people part of our family on a European tour one day!

Melanie and Brian, the team behind mbm weddings, are an incredible duo of artists and professionals that have given us a timeless album from our wedding that we will be proud to show off for the rest of our lives. Melanie was recommended by a friend, and we could not possibly be happier with their work. Just checking out their site you can already see how versatile and elegant their work is, but what we couldn't have fully prepared for was how professional, calming, and artful they were throughout the whole experience. Aside from being among the most prepared people in the room (which made us feel very comfortable!), they really put us at ease with how they were able to navigate all the family groupings and dynamics to get a series of incredible portraits without ever getting frustrated with our changes and craziness. When documenting the bridal and groom suites while we getting ready, they both seemed to melt into the background to grab some amazing candids, and those shots are some of our favorites from the night. We were both pretty nervous, excited, and agitated throughout the day thinking about all the moments to follow, and Melanie’s presence was extremely calming. We always felt like we were in good hands, and we so appreciate her positivity and confidence. We are also thankful that she took such great care in addressing the little things that she knew we were nervous about, and we felt very well cared for. Having now received the final album, we have been showing off their work to everyone in our lives, and the compliments have been endless. Melanie and Brian have a knack for capturing the exact moments that make a day or event special – not just the posed shots or portraits, but the real emotion of the day. You can’t really put a price on that kind of ability and care, and we give mbm weddings our highest recommendation for anyone looking at a wedding photographer. Thank you again, and we love that you were a part of our special day!

This little hobby that started back in 2015 has become an absolute dream come true!! Photographing weddings is my second favorite part of this job, with serving the most incredible couples being the first! I knew from the start that I wanted my business to be focused on creating an amazing wedding experience that caters to each couple in a unique and memorable way! My focus throughout the entire process is to make things easy, stress-free, and most of all FUN! Outside of this business, I also train Ninja Warrior and love exploring throughout New England & the Northeast!

I cannot say enough good things about Chelsea! Being a photographer and a destination bride, I was so nervous about choosing a photographer but I fell in love with Chelsea's bright and true to color portfolio. After our first meeting I knew I had found the photographer for me! Her timeline was so intricately done and she made me feel so at ease the whole wedding day! She guided my husband and I through poses and prompts beautifully. Two days later I had so many sneak peeks in my inbox and my husband, in laws and I cried all over again looking through them together! Can't recommend Chelsea enough!
