We hired Clockwork New England for our wedding in Holderness, NH on 8/31/25 and we were absolutely blown away. Clockwork runs such a professional, caring business, and from our first touch point to our last, we couldn't be more happy with our experience. Ron, the owner, and Patrick, the band leader, were both so attentive to our needs and questions leading up to the wedding. I felt really confident going into the day that they had everything under control and were going to make it a great day. Patrick managed our ceremony cocktail music masterfully - it was perfect. And then the reception... omg. I know I'm biased, but this band was nothing less than the greatest wedding band / cover band I have EVER HEARD. The energy! The entertainment! Our guests are still raving, 2 months after the wedding. My husband and I are big dancers, and we did not leave the dance floor once. It was packed the whole time, from start to finish; even before dinner was served people went out to dance!!! We could not have asked for a better experience on such an important day for us. Guys... when they started playing Pink Pony Club?? Or when the trumpet blasted the first couple notes to Mr. Brightside to bring us back from a band break?!? I couldn't breathe. Absolutely incredible. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU Clockwork New England for making all of our wildest wedding dreams come true. Thank you thank you thank you - we will be taking ourselves back to that day and that dance floor for the rest of our lives.

We had our wedding at Saphire Estate in Sharon, MA, and it was everything we hoped for and more. We chose the venue because it gave us that dreamy garden-meets-New England charm that we really missed living in Florida, plus it’s right across from a beautiful lake that made for stunning scenery. From day one, the process with Saphire Event Group was seamless. Their team was responsive, organized, and so accommodating—especially with us planning everything from out of state. We couldn’t attend any in-person meetings aside from our initial visit, and they didn’t skip a beat. My parents even went to our food tasting in our place (bless them), and SEG made it all work without a hitch. We were lucky enough to be paired with Anne, our day-of coordinator and actual angel on Earth. From the very beginning, she felt like a friend—sweet, funny, genuine, and totally on my wavelength. I came into this with messy notes and scattered thoughts, and every time I talked to Anne, she brought clarity and calm. She completely understood the vision, printed and carried around my 3-page Google Doc (LOL), and made sure not a single detail was missed. Even when we made the big decision to change our ceremony location a few months before the wedding, she took it in stride and helped everything fall into place. She had everything perfectly lined up the day of and somehow made me feel like I didn’t need to worry about a single thing Anne, we seriously love you. And to the rest of the team: thank you! Everyone we interacted with on the day of had so much personality, were kind, professional, and genuinely seemed like they loved being there. It made a huge difference. We’re endlessly grateful to the entire Saphire team for giving us such a beautiful, stress-free experience.

Hello Photo Booth Rental was incredible to work with for our wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Thomson & Thomson was the first vendor we booked after solidifying our venue. Emily and Mark were a dream to work with! We did our engagement shoot with them about a year before our wedding. As two people who do not always feel natural in front of the camera, Emily and Mark made us feel comfortable and at ease right away. Our engagement pictures were perfect and made us even more excited to work with Emily and Mark on our wedding day. Our wedding day was rainy, cold, and windy - far from the idyllic spring day we had imagined. Emily and Mark stayed positive and worked with us to find spots around our venue that felt natural and still allowed us to capture a variety of shots in different settings. They were incredible in making the most out of less-than-ideal weather. More than their photos, they are just both great people to be around and we thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with them. They are friendly and personable, and assertive enough to wrangle our families for our larger group shots. They gave us our sneak peek pictures the night after our wedding, ahead of when promised, and their work is simply gorgeous. Their photos feel real, authentic, and true to how we experienced the day. It's hard to put into words, but the photos they captured feel like us and we couldn't have asked for anything more. We are so impressed and pleased with our pictures and look forward to our full gallery. We feel so grateful to Emily and Mark for capturing our day!

I wanted to find a photographer who could capture the “typical” photos but also one who thought outside the box. Since I was busy doing my “bride” things, Chris managed to capture some really special moments between myself and family members that have since passed. I will cherish these special photos for the rest of my life! He also delivered so many high quality photos of the reception, party and of me and my husband. I cannot say enough about the creativity, thoughtfulness and uniqueness of his work! Gone are the days where the stiff posed portraits cover wedding albums. Chris is the photographer to deliver something special you’ll cherish for years!!

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.

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!

We're so grateful to have found Glass Artists and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for live musicians for their big day.

VJ was our wedding photographer September 2025 and he did an absolutely wonderful job! From the beginning, I knew he would be the best person to complete our vision. Our meetings and emails were comprised of discussing both my preferred editing style and stylized shots. His attention to detail was far superior to other photographers who only offer one “style” and bulk edit their photos. I was so impressed with how much he remembered from our discussions and how many shots he was able to get as a solo photographer! We will forever be grateful for his work.

Keith and Allan are amazing to work with! Leading up to my wedding, Keith kept me on schedule and made sure he had all the details necessary to make our wedding day a blast. He helped me streamline the DJ details, photobooth and uplights which I greatly appreciated. On the night of our wedding, Allan kept the dance floor packed at all times. His positive energy is contagious and we had a blast. I hope anyone planning a wedding gets to work with people as buttoned up and fun as Keith and Allan.

The Red Lion Inn in Cohasset is truly a dream wedding venue. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the historic charm and breathtaking beauty of the property. The cozy warmth of the barn made for an unforgettable ceremony and reception—it felt intimate yet grand, with its rustic elegance setting the perfect tone for our celebration. One of the standout features is that it’s not just a venue, it’s a real, historic inn. We loved knowing we could return to this special place for anniversaries and relive our wedding day memories—a truly unique aspect we didn’t find at any other venue. The team at the Red Lion Inn was nothing short of incredible. They made us feel so cared for throughout the entire process. A highlight for me was when they quietly snuck me a plate of appetizers during cocktail hour so my husband and I could enjoy some delicious bites while taking portraits. It’s those thoughtful touches that made the day even more magical. I can’t recommend the Red Lion Inn enough—it’s a stunning, one-of-a-kind venue with a team that goes above and beyond to make your wedding day unforgettable.

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!

We loved working with Jen for our engagement and wedding photos! Overall, she is just an absolute professional and knows exactly what to do. She did a great job managing our timeline and shot list and provided very clear directions with group photos so everyone knew exactly what to do. The photos themselves came out so beautifully and exactly what we had envisioned - she did an awesome job taking advantage of our venue and the scenery. We also got sneak peek photos back within 48 hours! As a person, Jen is so warm, friendly, confident, and a prompt communicator. She even took the time to help me out with an issue I was having with my dress, even though it shouldn't have been a photographer's job. We can't wait to get all of our photos back. Highly recommend Jen!

Wonderful eye, great suggestions on groupings, and did a fantastic job guiding people on and out to accomplish the pictures quickly and efficiently. They then exceeded themselves with the candids.

Where do I even begin? Sara was so easy to communicate with from day 1. I felt like we were immediately best friends and she immediately understood my vision after the first intro phone call. She really listened to me at my trial and gave such good suggestions. My wedding day makeup was perfect and I wouldn’t change a thing. My lashes stayed on all night (and into the next day)! Could not recommend Sara more!
