From the moment we stepped into The Riverview for our tour, we were impressed by the clear, friendly, and warm communication from the staff. Chelsea, the coordinator, was incredibly attentive to our emails and really understood our vision for the day. The venue itself is beautiful, spacious, and updated, providing the perfect backdrop for our special day. The waitstaff went above and beyond, ensuring our guests felt attended to and keeping the dance floor lively all night long. They even packed up all the food we didn't eat, which was a huge help.

Beauty & Life: Captured!

Weatogue, CT
  • Photographer
  • Starts at $3,795

I am Bruno Sauma, founder and owner of Beauty & Life Captured! Wedding Photography Studio, a hardworking, focused and energetic individual that enjoys all sides of the shooting process: camera, lighting, editing, design and printing. Because of my long-term involvement working with image manipulation, printing and graphic design (at local companies and as a freelancer), I suddenly found myself in love with photography.After years of training and gaining experience with several styles of photography, I was naturally directed to capturing people in emotion, beauty and life; as a result, wedding photography became my true passion.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Bruno capture the magic of our wedding day, and their work was nothing short of extraordinary. From the initial consultation to the final delivery of the photos, Bruno showcased unparalleled professionalism and talent. Their ability to seamlessly blend into the background while still capturing every meaningful moment was truly remarkable. The photographs themselves are a testament to their artistry—each image is a masterpiece, perfectly composed and infused with the genuine emotions of the day. Bruno not only met but exceeded our expectations, providing us with a timeless collection of memories that we will forever cherish. If you're in search of a wedding photographer who combines skill, creativity, and a keen eye for detail, look no further than Bruno. They are, without a doubt, a five-star artist capturing love in every frame.

IF you want a wedding photographer who will instantly become a friend look no further than Meraki Photos Inc. We met Rayleen at the Connecticut Bridal and Wedding Expo and instantly feel in love with the spirit of her work. Rayleen’s eye for detail is amazing. Throw that in with her technical skills, down to earth personality, and professionalism and you have found yourself a true artist. Rayleen will stop at nothing to make sure she captures the most incredible shots, even if that means going outside in freezing cold temperatures or scaling a fence. She takes the time to get to know you as a couple, listen to your vision, and create magic that you didn’t even know you needed. Our fall wedding was the most beautiful day and I am so grateful that we booked with Meraki Photos. The photos from the day are absolutely stunning and capture the real joy and essence of our love. Seriously our friends and family cannot stop raving on how beautifully everything was photographed. We have found a life long photographer in Rayleen. She has been there with us through all our most important moments: engagement photoshoot, wedding day, maternity session, newborn photoshoot and mommy and me photo session. We are looking forward to our daughter’s smash cake session and family Christmas photos this year. We wholeheartedly recommend Meraki Photos Inc to anyone seeking extraordinary photos and an unforgettable experience.

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.

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

  • Videographer
  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Weatogue, CT

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.

Treefilms is a stellar photography and videography company! After our venue, they were the second vendor we booked as photography and videography was very important to us. Ashley was responsive and kind from the beginning! She was open to our ideas in regard to location and then made it look even better in the photo video! We felt so comfortable during that shoot and at our wedding in front of the camera with them. They gave us enough direction that it was easy to know what to do, but did not result in stiff or overly posed pictures. The candid shots that they captured throughout the wedding day are photos we will cherish; they were able to capture all the emotions so perfectly. The team worked seamlessly with all the other vendors, they truly know what they’re doing! (Shoutout to Ashley for doing up the buttons on my dress!) Our wedding video is a work of art, I don’t think it’s comparable to the standard videos produced by other vendors. Treefilms is the vendor we recommend most to friends and family, and we look forward to working with them again in the future!

Rachel absolutely blew us away. She brought our fall color scheme to life in the most beautiful way. The arch was stunning and the table arrangements tied everything together perfectly.

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.

We worked with Matt and he truly did an absolutely amazing job! He was always communicative leading up to the event, responds promptly to texts/emails and is very personable throughout the entire process. We wanted a DJ who let their work speak for themselves without all the extra “corniness” thrown in and he delivered. He was prompt, professional, and friendly during our special day. He plays the music you want and will cater to your picture of how the night should go. As I said before, he lets his work speak for himself- he had our guests up and dancing all night long to great music. (They even encored him) His transitions are clean and timed just right so you hear enough of each song. When it comes to announcements and MC’ing, he does a great job of enthusiastically speaking when needed without being over the top. The man does his job and he does it well. We couldn’t recommend him more for your special day!

Why settle for the same clichéd, predictable service everyone else uses? You're unique, and your wedding should be, too. I'll work with you to design the perfect ceremony to match your own individual style and personality.

Awarded Best of Zola
A few hours after my husband and I got engaged, I asked him, "What if we just had a super tiny wedding and got married in a week?" Cue a mad scramble to find an officiant, photographer, and venue. We had already spoken to one potential officiant who didn't ask us any questions or tell us what he was planning to do—not great—so when our photographer recommended Dave, we were thrilled he was available. When we met up over Zoom to talk, it was clear he's very smart and funny, and loves love without being mushy about it. He crafted a ceremony that was short and sweet, complete with a reading that was a great match for us. I loved that he sent us the full script with free rein to adjust it to our liking. I, an endless word-fusser, only made one small change. On the day, he was already laughing with our witnesses when we arrived, and it set the scene so beautifully for us to have a joyful, laid back ceremony. It was perfect. He's happy to provide ideas but really wants the ceremony to work for you as a couple. He'll talk about his outfit options for you to choose from. (We went with a navy suit but he has a rad hot pink one too if that fits your vision. I suspect he would gamely wear an Iron Man costume or KISS makeup if that were your dream.) That open thoughtfulness extends to whatever kind of ceremony you want—big or small, religious or secular, traditional or offbeat. Zero judgment, just a steady stream of smart questions, good ideas, and caring support. And he writes the best emails. I haven't laughed that hard or felt so sparklingly clever in writing in years.

We worked with Paul for our January wedding. Originally, I was going to just create a playlist (I was having little to no formalities) until I saw he commented on a Connecticut Bride Facebook Group. Figured a DJ will give me one less thing to worry about, so I inquired and he immediately responded, provided a quick quote, and we set up our first meeting. He just made everything so easy! We had two one-hour long meetings to clearly identify our vision. My father passed a few years ago and we did many things to honor him at the party- signature cocktail, my sister spoke about him in her speech, his two best friends gave a combined toast on his behalf, but what made me really feel my dad was celebrated and “there in spirit” was when Paul intentionally played my dad’s favorite song prior to the first speech. It almost felt like that was my dad’s speech/toast to us. Family and friends picked up on Paul’s placement of my dad’s favorite song and commented that they were moved by it too. It was the only point of the night I got emotional. Paul really cares about his work and the people he works with. I’ve been to a handful of weddings where DJs play the couple’s Do Not playlist and just treats every wedding the same. I seriously can’t recommend Paul more.

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!).
