PK and the Mighty Seven 
Rating: 5.0 (34 reviews)
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Boston College, MA

PK and the Mighty Seven is a 9-piece powerhouse band built on a foundation of 10+ years performing weddings as a consistent group. Every horn blast, vocal harmony, and rhythm is sharpened by a decade of musical chemistry. We began with a shared love for high-energy soul and funk and an initial Jamiroquai tribute gig, but today we bring that same authentic energy to everything from timeless classics to modern hits. With world-class vocals and a 3-piece horn section, we deliver a wall-to-wall rallying cry to the dance floor that won't be ignored.

Awarded Best of Zola
PK and the Mighty Seven was THEE best band for our wedding. We had initially seen them play at porchfest and have gone back to see them each year since. They always draw a massive crowd and they kill it every time. For our wedding we considered getting a DJ for a second but boy are we glad we didn’t. PK brought the heat and they worth every penny. Leading up to the wedding, Matt was great to work with. We had a few calls prior to the wedding to plan songs, and we were able to give some definite YESs and NOs based on their extensive song list. They have great Motown, funk, and pop classics on their list, but they also did fantastic renditions of our pop-punk and ska requests. Matt was super responsive and coordinated with the venue about their logistics. During the wedding itself they brought fantastic energy, and know how to read a room. As (amateur) musicians, they even let us come up to play a song with them which was the most special moment and topped everything off. All around, 11 out of 10. Great to work with, professional, and absolutely rock!

Symula Media Group was an absolute joy to work with for our engagement session ! From the very beginning Jen was incredibly friendly, timely, and personable in her communication. Her passion, creativity and experience shone through in the beautiful photos she captured of us that day.

My wife and I chose to elope prior to the administration change, on January 18, 2025. We were amazed at the number of venders offering free or discounted elopement services prior to January 20th for couples in our position, and Julian was an immediate favorite. Their flower arrangements are absolutely gorgeous and they are just a genuinely delightful human being! We didn't need much - just a bouquet and boutonniere and a request for some loose baby's breath for my hair, and Julian delivered more than we hoped for! We loved the colors and the arrangement, but more importantly, given the complex emotions around why we upped our wedding date to elope prior to 1/20, it was Julian's infectious joy, support, and celebratory sentiments shared with us that truly made the experience perfect! Highly recommend and will definitely be using Julian again for any and all of our flower needs!! Thank you!!

These two made our night incredible! We had the best reception ever thanks to them! DJ Tavo accommodated our requests with ease and also offered a lot of helpful advice in the planning process. They did bilingual introductions so both families could be included in on the fun. The music was the perfect mix of party/spanish music which is exactly what we were looking for. We even had guests coming up to us saying that they loved our DJ! We also had a unplanned, surprise speech from the mother of the groom in Spanish that DJ Tavo translated to English on the spot.

First off, if you are debating hiring a coordinator or planner look no further. Cassie is THE best!! We hired Cassie just a few months before our big day after having some communication issues with our venues coordinators, and from the moment she joined, she went above and beyond to make everything perfect. She truly made our wedding stress-free and magical, handling every detail with incredible care. Cassie attended our final details meeting the day before the wedding, and our entire wedding party was blown away by her professionalism and calm demeanor. She guided the rehearsal effortlessly, making sure we were all on the same page, which made the big day run smoothly. On the wedding day, Cassie handled everything seamlessly. She helped with the little things, like holding my flowers and managing my dress during our first look. She coordinated with all of our vendors, set up our entire tent before the wedding, and even took care of the breakdown so we could just pick everything up the next day. We had some communication issues with our venue leading up to the wedding, but Cassie stepped in and resolved all of the details without us having to worry about a thing. If anything went wrong on the day of, we had no idea—she handled it all behind the scenes, she was so so awesome! Knowing she had it all under control gave us the peace of mind to fully enjoy our day. What truly touched us were the thoughtful extras. Cassie took photos and videos on her phone throughout the day, capturing moments and details we didn’t even think to ask for. Having those memories in addition to our photographers photos meant so much to us!! (I attached just a few for reference) Her ability to manage every detail flawlessly amazed me! Cassie truly is a miracle worker, a problem-solver, and a memory-maker all in one! Everyone loved her so much! I don’t know how we got so lucky!

They use a comprehensive planning tool where you can link or input all the songs you want to play, but more importantly to us, DJ Lavish listened to what kind of vibes we wanted at each stage of the wedding and made sure to achieve it.

It's been 15 years running this small business as a Boston wedding photographer, a New England wedding photographer, working all around the greater Boston area and traveling to destination weddings as well.

Randall was AMAZING to work with! I'm sure as a wedding photographer you need to deal with a lot of unique personalities and unexpected situations. Well I can tell you that Randall is an expert in both of these skills! Like every family, we had our share of characters at the wedding. Unlike most, we had to reschedule (twice), move venues, AND had an additional small ceremony (outside in unseasonable snow) in the height of COVID (Oct 2020). Randall was accommodating, kind, and creative. I'd give him more stars if I could!!

Shelley was wonderful to work with from the moment I first reached out to inquire about her services. Shelley was very timely, professional, and caring in her communications with us. Shelley was also very flexible in last minute changes that came up. Her music for our ceremony and cocktail hour sounded so beautiful!

Lizzie's Bakery 
Rating: 5.0 (14 reviews)
  • Cakes & desserts
  • Starts at $10 per serving
  • Serves Boston College, MA

I specialize in custom wedding cakes and party cakes! I'm 100% self-taught and have been decorating cakes since 2016! I have 2 kids and I love celebrating life's biggest events with cake is my passion!

Lizzie made our wedding cake in 2022 and it was perfect! My husband is gluten free and we’ve tried many gf cakes before. Most are not great, some are ok and expensive. Lizzie’s is by far the best we have ever had and can’t even tell the difference from the regular! We received our cake tasting box as well as some macarons (we ordered some for my bridal shower after). We ended up doing a gf two tier cake with a bunch of gf and non gf mini cupcakes. The mini cupcakes were the perfect size for guests to grab and avoid the waste that sometimes happens with full size cupcakes. Plus guests can try multiple flavors! We had some gf guests who were blown away and other non gf guests complimented who had no idea the cake was even gf. We had vanilla with fresh strawberries and buttercream as well as lemon and blueberry with vanilla buttercream for our two layer cake. Cupcakes were various flavors: funfetti, red velvet, chocolate. We coordinated with the florist to have Lizzie add flowers. Delivery was perfect with no effort from myself on my wedding day. Lizzie also had a friend make our wedding topper. I will forever purchase cakes through Lizzie for events because she is that good. You know it’s good when it is added to your list of cravings from time to time. Lizzie was great to work with, responsive and genuine. I love supporting a local business, especially one with such heart. Lizzie even made us a miniature version of our cake for our one year anniversary, saving us the time and effort of freezing. It was so nice to have a fresh small version to celebrate with. Cannot recommend Lizzie enough.

Our daughter just celebrated her wedding this past weekend at the Kimpton Marlowe, and I can't imagine a more perfect experience! We visited quite a few venues that we loved, but once we found KM and Rachel, we knew we had found our place. I'm not sure where to begin! The planning process was never stressful thanks to Rachel's patience, professionalism and organizational skills. Our daughter lives out of state, and I can only imagine the insane amount of emails that flew back and forth between her and Rachel! She kept us all calm, and we were always confident that the day would be perfect because of her extraordinary efforts. The venue itself has everything a bridal party could want. It's in an accessible location for out of state visitors to explore Boston and Cambridge. The staff are all warm, friendly and eager to help with anything. The price is very reasonable; we had ruled out Boston/Cambridge because of our budget, but KM turned out to be right on target. There is convenient parking on site. We were offered a block of rooms in the hotel for an amazingly good price, so that our guests didn't have to worry about driving after a big party! The food was exceptional, from appetizers to dinner and even late night snacks of pizza, cookies and milk! The reception room was gorgeous and is very easy to work with because of the neutral colors. I think one of our favorite parts was that we had the entire second floor of the hotel to ourselves! The ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and even a room for the bride to retreat when she needed to change was all included. The younger guests danced until the very end, and the "older" parents and guests found a quiet spot to hang out in the lobby area outside of the reception hall, filled with comfortable sofas, chairs and tables. All who attended were happy with the many choices to party, relax and mingle. In my opinion, KM and Rachel are a still a hidden gem in the greater Boston area. I hope this review helps to get the word out that they are the place to go if you are looking for an affordable option with fabulous spaces, delicious food and most of all, an event planner who puts her heart and soul into everything she does. Thank you, KM and Rachel! 3

I come from a fashion photography background and now happily spend my time in the beautifully slow world of weddings. After living abroad for many years, I’ve returned to the States. Travel has always been part of my life, whether for fashion or weddings, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

From our engagement photos to our wedding day, Jaffer had us feeling at ease and comfortable. Neither of us likes having our picture taken, but it was very comfortable working with him. Both of our families raved about how fun and easy Jaffer was to work with after the big day, and we loved all of our pictures. Genuinely the most easy-going, fun photographer who has interesting shots planned and will guide you to something that is comfortable and representative of you as a couple or family. Jaffer has incredible listening skills and is everything you would want in a wedding photographer. I would definitely work with him again for other photography needs, and would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat!

Ephemirus was a pleasure to work with for our collaborative floral design classes. Their communication was professional, warm, and passionate throughout the planning process. The quality of their work was truly unique and abundant - they set up a stunning floral display of fresh local flowers for guests to pull from for their personal designs. Cailla, the owner & lead designer, was a thoughtful and creative teacher, providing hands-on demonstrations and inspiration that allowed everyone to enjoy and learn. The classes were a special experience, and we're grateful to Ephemirus for helping make it so memorable. - Rebecca Nottonson, Marketing Manager ES Hospitality
