Zhaun Frias Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Arlington, MA

Why, hello there. I'm the creative behind the lens. I am a Canadian who pursued his true love, got married and found himself in the United States. It turns out, it can take some time to receive permanent residency, which led me to pick up a camera and fall in love with the art.

I don't even know where to start regarding Zhaun!! From our engagement photos all the way to our wedding day, he was so remarkably supportive, reassuring, & honestly invaluable the entire process. My husband & I always joke that we're remarkably unphotogenic & can be awkward in front of the camera-- but all of that really washed away with Zhaun. I know you've all seen the more cheesy or uber serious photographers, & Zhaun truly met us where we were & was able to create such a wonderfully laid back vibe. His photos obviously speak for themselves & it goes without saying, but holy MOLY is he talented!!! I made a pinterest page with different 'inspo,' wanting our photos of the big day to capture a lot of the joy in the little interactions with not only us, but all of our guests & boy did Zhaun deliver & then some!! We cannot thank him enough for all he's done for us!! You're the best!!! xx K&J

It’s impossible to fully express how wonderful PAGU is, both as a standalone restaurant and as a wedding venue. As Cambridge residents, we had eaten here with friends and family and knew the food, drinks, and service were excellent, and I hosted a work event with a partial buy out that everyone enjoyed, so it quickly came to the top of our list after we got engaged and were looking into wedding venues. From the very beginning, the staff, especially event manager Amanda, were so easy to work with, and they were very flexible to make the space, menu, and overall wedding very personal to us. After a cocktail hour with both passed apps and stations, we opted to have a buffet style wedding so we could accommodate a variety of palettes (our families are from different cultures: Chinese/Indonesian and German/Italian), everyone could find something they liked, and we could show off a seafood paella in a large format paella pan. They even offered a Thai pesto dish that is not standard on their menu! They were also extremely conscientious about guests with food allergies, clearly marking them on menus, and even going to specific guests (especially those with celiac disease) and providing separate non-cross contaminated dishes. They also managed the flow of tables and buffet line efficiently and flawlessly, which can’t be overlooked, as we’ve been to weddings where this wasn’t the case. Our guests all told us it was the best wedding food and cocktails they’ve ever had, and we were so excited to share one of our favorite restaurants with them. The space was perfect for our 110 person wedding. The outdoor patio was a nice space for a cocktail hour and provided a quiet place to hang out when the dance floor later opened. The main restaurant is much larger than it looks, so it manages to feel intimate while still fitting over 100 people without feeling cramped. We had the DJ upstairs in the mezzanine like a real DJ booth, which allowed him to have a great read on the dance floor and assure no one was sitting right in front of a speaker. Finally, they cleared the front two large tables for a dance floor that was plenty large enough for everyone to dance for over 2 hours. Finally, we were thrilled to use our wedding to support a local business that not only has a mission to serve excellent food and drinks (they’ve received James Beard Award nominations!), but also to build community. Chef/owner Tracy Chang founded several nonprofits during COVID to provide economic relief to restaurant workers and donate meals to hospital workers, and she and PAGU have been hosting roundtable events to start conversations about sustainability, culture, and community. We first heard of PAGU after my sister went to a roundtable event about using invasive green crabs in cooking! We knew hosting a wedding was going to be an investment, and while we would have been so happy choosing PAGU for our wedding for the myriad of reasons above, we felt especially great about putting our investment into a place that cares about the world and community around it. We could not recommend PAGU enough for your wedding!

Scott and his associate Pat shot photos the day of our wedding and did such a great job of capturing the joy of the day. We did an engagement shoot with Scott prior and it really helped us get comfortable in front of the camera leading up to the wedding, our photos from both sessions came out awesome. Scott was ever present at our reception, seemingly everywhere at once (getting wonderful candids of almost every guest interaction) and also totally unobtrusive and respectful of the time we wanted to spend with our friends and family. I never felt like he was in the way or keeping me from something else I wanted to be doing while snapping pictures. Our photos have a fun creative flare to the poses and composition and will look great in a frame or album.

My husband and I got married at Long Hill in Beverly in August of 2024 and we hired Samantha as our month of coordinator and it was one of THE best decisions we made for our wedding. Samantha is a kind, approachable, and positive person who has such dedication and professionalism in all that she does. She was excellent with all logistics the day of but also went above and beyond to make us feel supported even outside of the month that we contracted her. Our wedding was truly the most wonderful weekend of our lives and I know that we had such a joyous and calm experience because of all of the hard work Samantha and her team put into it.

Rabbi Noyo - Officiant 

5.0

  • Officiant
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $400
  • Serves Arlington, MA

Rabbi Noyo (Rabbi Sarah Noyovitz) is a warm, inclusive, and creative officiant based in Boston, MA. She crafts meaningful, personalized wedding ceremonies for couples of all backgrounds - Jewish, interfaith, non-religious, queer, poly, and beyond. Whether you want something simple or symbolic, she will collaborate with you to make it feel deeply “you.” She brings care, clarity, and joy to every celebration and believes your love deserves to be honored with intention.

Rabbi Noyo is the best! Hire her now. More context: We hired Rabbi Noyo to officiate our interfaith wedding in September 2024. We wanted to add some jewish elements to our wedding but did not know what our options were beyond breaking the glass and the Chuppah. Rabbi Noyo was understanding and patient with us - she took the time to really get to know me and now husband, our history, what we love about one another, etc. She also encouraged us to have important, difficult conversations leading up to the wedding, which she cleverly coined as 'pillow talk'. This helped strengthen our bond and us feel completely secure and ready for our upcoming nuptials. In additional to these sessions, Rabbi Noyo also took the time to explain the various elements that could be incorporated leading up to and during the ceremony, the significance behind them, and even provided information on where to learn more/buy items. She never pressured us or made us feel badly for skipping ceremony components and even provided alternative language for blessings that felt more like us. She also provided input on our program, reviewed our vows, and even had printed copies ready for us during the ceremony. Rabbi Noyo made our wedding ceremony truly perfect. Her words during the ceremony were BEAUTIFUL, heartfelt, and funny. She knew the little things that mattered (including setting expectations ahead of the ceremony, moving to the side for the kiss, etc.) and helped everyone feel so comfortable. She gave clear instructions to the guests and helped make sure that the special moments worked seamlessly. She encouraged our love to shine through and facilitated an absolutely gorgeous ceremony. Our guests are even still talking about how amazing the Rabbi was and asking where to find her. Rabbi Noyo made our wedding exactly the way we wanted it to be, and I know she will do the same for you. Hire her! You will not regret it :)

Emelia was an amazing wedding officiant who contributed greatly to making our special day perfect.

Emelia guided us seamlessly through the entire process, offering thoughtful suggestions to improve our vows (while respecting our voices), and helped us customize what we wanted featured in her remarks (poems, stories, anecdotes, humor, religious readings, etc.). Emelia’s warm and engaging presence, combined with her professionalism, were evident throughout the ceremony, as she delivered our vows with care and with a touch of humor that kept our guests both moved and entertained.

Veronica Nunes- Freelance Makeup Artist 

5.0

  • Beauty professional
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Arlington, MA
  • Offer

I've been passionate about beauty ever since I could remember. I grew up with extremely sensitive skin and, thanks to my mother who was religious about her morning and evening skin care routines, understood the importance of quality skin and makeup products. I found that the communications and business skills acquired from my undergraduate studies would carry over when building my own business. From there, I shadowed and assisted numerous makeup artists in upstate New York, NYC and Boston and went out on my own in 2011. In May 2018, I graduated from the 600-hour Advanced Esthetics program from Catherine Hinds Institute of Esthetics.

Awarded Best of Zola
Veronica was everything I hoped for in a makeup artist and more! As someone who enjoys makeup but doesn’t consider themselves very “girly” I was intimidated by the process of finding a makeup artist for my wedding. I was worried that someone would only want to do glam makeup and that just wasn’t for me. When talking to Veronica at our first consult I instantly felt like she really heard and understood what I was saying about what I wanted and my concerns about my skin (acne prone). At our trial she explained everything, answered my questions, offered advice, and talked through how she would take my bridal dreams and make them a reality. On the day of my wedding she came to me, made me feel pampered and utterly stunning. I got married in June and while it was a gorgeous day, it was hot, I was in the sun for a large chunk of the day, and I am a sweaty gal. My makeup stayed gorgeous from application (finished around noon) all the way through the dance floor that night! I used the oil blot pads she gave me in my touch up kit once before I walked down the aisle at 5pm and otherwise didn’t need any other touch ups. I could not have asked for a better experience with Veronica and I would recommend her to anyone!!

New England wedding photographer obsessed with love & adventure. If you’re looking for a documentary-style photographer & breathtaking candid photos of every moment, I’m your girl. I love to be silly and authentic with my couples because this is a once-in-a-lifetime moment that should be enjoyed! I will absolutely be on the dance floor for your favorite song, and may shed a tear as you confess your love to one another in your vows. I’m a sucker for rom coms, and every wedding I attend feels like a real life fairytale.

Ashley Wall and her fiancé Donald did a fantastic job all through the wedding process. From the initial engagement photo session through to the actual event, they were the epitome of professional. We didn't have much of a plan on what sort of pictures we wanted from them so she was able to offer options and suggestions that worked out well. They felt like they friends making suggestions rather than a professional directing us. The photos taken were a mix of the conventional and those that felt closer to our own personality. For both the engagement session and wedding, we received a fair number of sneak photos just a few days after the event which was wonderful to be able to share. I hope they enjoyed our event as much as we enjoyed their presence and pictures!

The language of light and movement inspires me to document the beauty that is life. Every client is a friend, and every experience is unique to its own.

I can’t express how impressed I am with our Valima photos! These are the kind of wedding photos I’ve always hoped for- romantic, whimsical, and dreamy. Saleema and Ehsun did an incredible job, and the location they helped choose made for a beautiful, fairy-tale backdrop. We’ve received countless compliments, with some even saying the photos look straight out of a magazine. All of this is thanks to their exceptional talent, attention to detail, and keen eye for beauty. Not only did they deliver stunning photos, but they helped so much in managing logistics, coordinating our arrival to ensure we were unseen by guests, and addressing any overlooked details. Their professionalism, communication, and proactive approach were greatly appreciated. I especially valued their follow-up in the days leading up to the event to finalize the details, which was a refreshing change from a previous experience where communication was minimal until the event itself. I highly recommend Saleema and Ehsun for anyone seeking beautiful, memorable photography with exceptional service.

Katie is the owner & Designer behind Berry Branch . She is an avid gardener and all-around design enthusiast. Drawing inspiration from the textures, colors, and movement found in the garden and the lush New England landscape, her work responds to architecture and interior design. The goal is to highlight each event space with a wild yet refined design.

Katie at Berry Branch was great to work with, and glad she took on our inquiry as we only needed a bride's bouquet and groom's boutonniere and not the whole wedding set for our private elopement. She was easy to contact and was very communicative over our email exchanges. Her prices were clearly communicated, which was refreshing and we were grateful for the transparency. Based on the colors and types of flowers we preferred, Katie created the most beautiful arrangements full of fresh and fragrant flowers! So happy to have chosen Berry Branch and would highly recommend her to other Greater Boston brides/grooms.

I am jumping into my 10th bridal season as a makeup artist and am more passionate about it than ever before! Specializing in glowy, soft glam makeup looks! Also offering pre wedding skin prep, brows & lash services at my studio in Wayland, MA!

I know it sounds crazy, but I may or may not have picked my wedding date based on Nikki and Rachel's schedule. Nikki did my makeup for a friend's wedding 2 years ago, and after feeling the most beautiful I'd ever felt in my life I knew I was going to book her when my time came around. The entire process with Nikki was easy, from my trial to the logistics and all in between. Her work speaks for itself. I can't even count the number of people who came up to me and told me my makeup was insanely gorgeous on my wedding day, and I felt that way too. The one aspect that I feel shouldn't be overlooked is the experience Nikki and my beauty time provided for me on that day. When I say down in the chair, it was the first time I started to get nervous and thought, "Oh my god, this is really happening," but sitting there with Nikki and chitchatting and giggling made my nerves go away. I was so sad when the getting ready part was over because I had so much fun hanging out with them LOL. Thank you, thank you, thank you Nikki for making me feel so insanely beautiful, and for being such a big part of my wedding day. My blast of a morning set the tone for the rest of the day!

CID is an event decor and production company focusing on providing a unique and memorable event experience for you and your guests. While we strive to execute your event vision, it wouldn't be possible without respect for my fellow event professional, passion for this industry, and the event family that we have spent years building.

All we can say is WOW. We are blown away by the work CID did for our wedding. The biggest ask we had decor wise was a disco ball installation surrounded by greenery hanging from the ceiling. Not a simple ask but one Amy and her team made possible and exceeded all expectations. CID was in charge of all of our decor, including drapery, greenery, candles, lighting and our florals (bouquets, corsages and boutonnieres). Everything was perfect. We wanted our wedding to feel like us and CID helped us achieve that vision. We love music and festivals and being on the dance floor and CID helped our personality shine through in our wedding. We’ve been told our wedding is the vibe-iest, coolest wedding people have attended and we couldn’t have achieved that without Amy and her team's help. Her communication throughout the process was so appreciated and I’m sad we don’t have anything else to plan together (yet!). We loved our experience with Consider it Done and would absolutely recommend their services.

Arreaux Strings 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Arlington, MA

Whether a wedding, private party, or your grandmother's 90th birthday, you can impress your guests with live chamber music. We have years of experience organizing wedding music, as well as music for other events. Choose from a large assortment of music: classical, pop, ragtime, or opera and showtune favorites. (String Quartet has the most varied selection.) We are happy to work with vocalists and church music directors. We have experience playing music for Catholic masses and other denominations as well.

Arreaux Strings was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding! From the very first interaction, Rebecca was communicative, responsive, and kind. The string duet played stunning music during our ceremony that set the perfect tone. They were also incredibly flexible, adapting seamlessly to our list of song requests. Arreaux Strings truly helped make our special day even more memorable. I highly recommend them to any couple looking for talented, professional wedding string musicians!

Hi, I’m Victoria—the heart behind Victoria George Photography, an LGBTQ+ photographer based in Massachusetts, proudly serving New England and beyond. I specialize in wedding and engagement photography for engaged couples who want real, joyful moments captured in a bright, natural, and timeless style. My style blends documentary wedding photography with natural posing, capturing both big moments and candid memories. I offer custom wedding photography packages, fast turnaround, and am happy to travel wherever your love story takes you.

Victoria was the absolute best! We booked her for our wedding last October and we also did a beautiful engagement session with her last May. Both were incredible experiences. We met her for the first time at our engagement shoot and she immediately made us feel so comfortable. My wife and I are both those people that get stiff and awkward in front of the camera, but Victoria made the session flow so smoothly and we almost forgot there was even a camera. Our wedding day was the same, we felt so comfortable with her and her second shooter, Kate. The timeline she put together for us was awesome and she was so flexible and made several adjustments for us to make sure we were able to get photos with everyone in our big family. The experience itself was fantastic, not to mention the quality of the actual photos we received. We got our photos back so quickly and they are, without a doubt, our favorites we have together. We love her bright and airy style. She sent us a sneak peak of over 100 photos less than a week after our wedding, as well. I’ve recommended her to several people since both of our incredible experiences and we cannot wait to work with her again!!!!

Leah C-S Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Arlington, MA

My name’s Leah, I’m a passionate, playful, and versatile photographer. My philosophy is that happy people make for good photos, and it’s important to me that my clients feel comfortable. I believe that everyone is uniquely beautiful, and I love wedding photography because it’s a way of capturing memories and sharing meaningful experiences. I collaborate with all my clients to create work that speaks to their personality and style, and I always bring a sense of fun!

Leah has been a pleasure to work and communicate with before and after the wedding. Leah makes sure to know what you want out of the photo session and is overall really nice to interact with both in-person, on the phone or e-mail. The resulting pictures were also pretty good. On the D-Day (90 degree day, changing light, so not the most pleasant to take pictures), they let us go through the spots we had chosen for our photo shoots. Leah is really open to suggestions you may have and will adjust on the spot. There were some pretty tricky pictures to take with bubbles and these pictures turned out great! In the end the pictures were good, we have a great quantity of pictures from the different locations and settings we wanted shots of, and we can proudly share our wedding day pictures with friends and family.

Dearly Studio 

5.0

Somerville, MA
  • Venue
  • Up to 20 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $300

Dearly Studio is a courthouse alternative for couples who want a no-fuss ceremony that's still personal, elegant and fun. The concept for Dearly Studio is novel, but not new — plenty of little chapels exist outside Las Vegas, and giddy couples have been skipping over to their local courthouse since forever. What makes Dearly so special is the care that goes into crafting each ceremony, the community of vendors we’re lucky to be surrounded by at Bow Market and the flexibility of our packages to provide a bespoke experience. Cookie cutter weddings are OUT, friends. Time for big feelings, small weddings and a celebration that’s uniquely yours.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Has an intimate feel for a small guest list
  • Offers full-service amenities
  • Wheelchair accessible

Venue considerations

  • Does not allow pets
  • Can not accomodate large big events
  • On-site parking not available

Dearly Studio is such a unique and fun place to get married. It was such a stress free and great way to have our wedding ceremony with our family present. We were able to customize our whole experience, including music and adding flowers that were ready to go right at the start of the ceremony. We also booked our photographer, Carlie, through Dearly, and were so happy with how everything turned out. I highly recommend Dearly Studio!
