Out of the many decisions we had to make throughout our wedding planning, choosing this venue truly was our best one. We would choose it over and over again! It’s a beautiful venue and we loved how the outdoor ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were all separate spaces but right next to each other. The best part of all is the service they provide. Months before the wedding you are given an event producer & they help you plan the day. We didn’t need our own wedding coordinator at all. Our event producer was Anne and she made the whole process just so easy! She had answers to any questions we had. Our wedding day went so smoothly & Anne is great at running the show while keeping the energy fun & light! We really got to just shut our minds off & enjoy our day stress-free thanks to the wonderful staff.

Boston Premier has been part of some amazing events, and there's nothing that makes us happier than to celebrate one of life's biggest moments with special people like you. Over the many years we have been performing at weddings, we’ve developed a signature style to our events that couples continuously hire us for. Boston Premier receptions are engaging, meaningful, and detailed so that every segment of the evening is precise and perfect. Additionally, we are energetic, creative, polished, and fun – and love to infuse those elements into every event we perform at!!

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Boston Premier Band for our wedding and honestly couldn’t have been happier. From day one, their customer service was outstanding. I had so many questions (and a bit of wedding stress), and they were always patient, responsive, and genuinely reassuring. As a bride, that peace of mind meant everything - they really put me at ease and made me feel like we were in good hands. Our venue was a little… weird. Odd layout, limited space, not exactly band-friendly. They didn’t blink. They were super flexible and got really creative with how they set everything up, and somehow made it all work perfectly without it feeling cramped or awkward. The band itself was amazing - high energy, professional, and they totally read the room. The dance floor was packed all night. But what really stood out was how easy Ceasar was to work with and how much he clearly cared about making the day smooth and fun for us. If you’re getting married in Boston (or anywhere nearby) and want a band that’s talented and incredibly easy to work with, Boston Premier Band is 100% the way to go. I’d hire them again in a heartbeat.

We gave him a few do not plays and just a couple must plays, but he handled the rest perfectly!! Fine Tune Entertainment has an easy to use planning website, where we were able to edit our timeline and song choices throughout the process - this helped keep everything super organized. Joe was excellent at keeping the schedule moving with speeches, photos and dancing. We also used Fine Tune Entertainment's sister company for the photo booth which was incredibly high quality and a major HIT with our guests. They had the option to get digital copies or take home a printed one! We added 10 up lights to our space as well and Joe perfectly managed color changes to enhance the party vibe. We highly recommend Joe & Fine Tune Entertainment to couples in the Boston/MA area because of the incredible music played, the calm demeanor and excellent communication throughout the process! Definitely add the photo booth if you can, it was so worth it :)

We’re Chris & Anna, a married photography team obsessed with color, nostalgia, and the joyfully weird parts of a wedding day. We shoot weddings the way they feel: unposed, candid, emotional, and a little chaotic in the best way. We use a mix of digital, 35mm film, Holga, Super 8, and vintage camcorder to give every gallery that vibrant, retro, cinematic vibe our couples love. If you want photographers who blend into the party, love your freaking weird, chaotic energetic vibes, and document the real moments (not just the perfect ones), you’ll love working with us.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you are tired of the same, cookie cutter wedding photos, pictures that look like stock photos in a tjmaxx frame, The Grahams are the antidote to all of the plain sameness you see all around. These are photos that capture you as you are, at your best, living out the wedding of your dreams, surrounded by your closest friends and family. We planned all of our wedding, so we know how overwhelming it can be finding vendors that match your vibe. With the Grahams, my wife and I were instantly drawn in by the candid, spontaneous nature of their portfolio. This isn’t the stuffy, high sheen, filtered wedding photos we were used to seeing, but something that really captured the essence of each couple. As I look through our wedding album, 3 months after the date, I am instantly transported back to one of the greatest nights of our lives. Working with Chris and Anna was incredibly easy, from the first intro call to the delivery of the full photoset. Their website really lays everything out, and once you’ve booked them, their vendor portal makes planning and coordinating easy, especially if you don’t have a full-time wedding planner. Chris allows you creative freedom in crafting your vision, whether for the engagement session (the at-home photos are the way to go) or the wedding, while also providing fun suggestions. It makes the whole process feel collaborative, while leaving Chris room to do what he does best. We went in wanting our wedding to be a big dance party, and the photos the Grahams took delivered. They capture the night, our family and friends, the band, the setting, the mood, and most importantly, they reflect who we are as a couple. Choosing The Grahams was easy, now comes the hard part of choosing which photos to print. 10 out of 10, no notes!

They really took the time to understand our vision and preferences. On the day of, they fed off the energy of the crowd and kept the dance floor packed all night with their fun, musically talented performance that spanned all generations. One of the highlights was when they split my father-daughter dance, playing a sweet song for the first half and then transitioning into our favorite upbeat song "All Star" by Smashmouth, which got the whole wedding up and dancing. We couldn't have asked for a better band to make our special day so memorable.The morning after so many guests came up to us raving about how fun they had dancing and singing.

We cannot recommend East Coast Soul (Philly International group) enough! They played our ceremony, cocktail hour, and tented reception, and they kept the energy flowing seamlessly from one moment to the next. Communication leading up to the weekend was excellent, and the band went above and beyond by learning a few special songs for us—including a cultural line dance—which they played beautifully. Our guests were on the dance floor all night and are still raving about how incredible the band was. What impressed us most was how they struck the perfect balance: the music felt like a full, professional set, yet it never overshadowed the wedding itself. The focus stayed on the dance floor and the celebration, not just the stage. The sound mixing was also spot-on: lively and energetic without being overpowering, so people could still enjoy conversation when they stepped away from the dancing. East Coast Soul absolutely made our wedding unforgettable. If you’re considering them, especially the Philly International group, don’t hesitate, they’re phenomenal.

I think there’s a real absence of authenticity in today’s world. Everywhere we look, people are polishing themselves into a perfect image for the internet. But that’s not where the beauty is. The beauty lives in the real moments — the big, loud, messy, emotional, human ones you can’t stage or script. That’s what I chase. Since 2016, I’ve been documenting weddings for couples who want to feel present, relaxed, and fully themselves. I gravitate toward the candid, the unplanned, the way a glance turns into laughter and a quiet moment becomes unforgettable.

From start to finish (and beyond), the staff at Hampshire House were incredible to work with. The Director of Sales, Michele Giacomozzi, was patient, knowledgeable, communicative, and helped us to create the wedding of our dreams! The day-of staff (Bartenders, waiters, kitchen, etc.) were all attentive and made the day effortless for my husband and me. Besides the staff, I appreciated how transparent Hampshire House was throughout the process - whether it be about pricing, chair upgrades or kids' meals, they made it easy to budget and understand what was included. The venue itself was perfection - we absolutely fell in love with the 2nd floor library space when we visited and seeing it on the wedding day was so magical! The library exuded elegance and gave our night a cozy, intimate feel - all our guests loved it and felt it was so perfectly us. The long rectangle tables were great for conversation and left plenty of space for a dance party! Hampshire House is classic & quintessentially Boston; I can't recommend the space enough! Lastly, but certainly not least, the food at Hampshire House was stellar! Our tasting was so fun, Michele and her team walked us through the whole process and were so patient with us. The food on the day of was incredible and the guests could not stop raving about it! The Baby Lamb Chops in particular were a favorite as were the entrees (Grilled Beef Tenderloin, Lemon Thyme Chicken Breast, and Wild Mushroom Ravioli) and specialty drinks (Paper Plane & Pomegranate Paloma). I truly cannot say enough good things about our experience with the Hampshire House! Highly recommend!

I am a New England girl through and through - born and raised in Framingham, MA, I now reside with my husband, daughter, cat and dog in Ayer, MA. During a New England Summer, you can catch me at Fenway on a Sunday afternoon or having the best lobster roll (change my mind) at Sesuit Harbor Cafe on Cape Cod. When I’m not taking or editing photos, I am most definitely in the kitchen whipping up a meal from one of Ina Garten’s cookbooks. Love that woman. Or playing with my daughter, Tessa and our pup, Lucy in our backyard. I’m so excited to meet you and to create lasting images that will hang in your home for years to come!

Jen is amazing! After she photographed my sister-in-law's wedding, I loved her style so much that I wanted to work with Jen again at my own wedding. She is extremely easy to work with and made us feel comfortable throughout the process. Her photos truly capture the day so beautifully. Even when firefighters had to crash the wedding due to an electrical issue, Jen rolled with the punches and took some of the best photos of the night of us sitting on a fire truck! I cannot recommend Jen enough!

We cannot say enough about how much we loved working with Sarah and John! In both our engagement shoot and wedding, their warmth and commitment to making sure we got the photos we wanted made the experience comfortable and efficient. We are so happy with our photos, and Sarah and John did such a great job with helping us pose and finding little moments throughout the day to get in pictures. In all the craziness of a wedding day, they were calm, kind, and always ready to flexibly jump in and get the shot. They had great vision and as the day went on found new ideas to shoot that turned out beautifully. As people who do not love taking photos, they made us feel so comfortable. We cannot recommend them highly enough, thank you Sarah and John!!
