Awarded Best of Zola
Julian FAR exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning, they hit the proposal out of the park, perfectly nailing our vision for the big day in a clean and clear format. Julian was super responsive to our emails, which was reassuring living on the west coast and traveling to RI for the wedding. The price was super reasonable, and Julian lined up a rental for the floral stands we needed for the ceremony, which was so helpful not being local. And on the big day. Holy smokes, my bridal bouquet was everything I dreamed of and more!! Our wedding day was super hot, and Julian did everything in their power to keep the flowers looking fresh, even tweaking the bouquet and boutonnière as the day went on to remove some of the pieces that wilted. The ceremony flowers ended up a little wilted, but that was out of Julian’s control. If you’re looking for a florist, look no further. Julian was made for this job!

Yin was extremely accommodating and very personable. From the bridal trial to the actual day, I felt so beautiful. She was able to capture the look that I was going for with both a tea ceremony and wedding reception being able to have a makeup look match the essence and being able to take my hair down from an updo and have it down for the ceremony. She is very professional and her quality of work shows. Everyone at our wedding was complimenting our hair and makeup. She was able to complete my Maid of Honor, Mother’s, and me the brides hair and makeup in a timely manner the day of and travel to us with no problem. We all had different hair and makeup requests and she knocked them out of the park. Not to mention, her approach is very warm and we all felt so comfortable. I could not recommend her services enough and cannot wait to work with her again for any future makeup & hair needs!!

We couldn't be more happy with our choice to have our wedding ceremony and reception last weekend at CMAC! Adria was very communicative pre-event and easily adjusted our contract when we had to delay our date by one year. She also let us drop stuff off decorations the night before and pick things up the following Monday which was very helpful logistically. M ran our sound and lights and they were very organized and willing to work with us on running a playlist rather than using a DJ. We lucked out with beautiful weather and had our ceremony at the park outdoors but CMAC is really appealing because there's a good option for an indoor ceremony if it rains. The venue overall is absolutely stunning and our guests were raving about how beautiful the historic ballroom was. Great value for the Boston area and a perfect spot for a city wedding, with the airport and many hotels nearby.

A Dream Wedding at Margeaux Supper Parlor We hosted our engagement party turned wedding at Margeaux Supper Parlor, and it was pure magic. From the moment we stepped inside, we were blown away by the beauty of the space - especially the bar, which created the most stunning backdrop for photos we’ll cherish forever. Rebekah, the owner, and her incredible team thought of everything. From a custom, dairy-free menu (which was so important to me) to specialty passed cocktails and thoughtful service throughout, not a single detail was missed. The private oasis room was the perfect retreat for a quiet moment together during the celebration and added such a personal touch to the evening. And yes, we even sabered champagne! Whether it’s a bridal shower, engagement party, or wedding, we can’t recommend Margeaux enough. It’s a truly special place run by truly special people.

Hair By Ashalina 

5.0

Cambridge, MA
  • Beauty professional

I am a hairstylist + bridal specialist who has been in the industry for over 14 years. With each head of hair I style I fall more in love with what I do! The reward of making a woman step out of my chair feeling more beautiful than ever is what keeps my passion alive. I want to make choosing myself as your stylist one of the easiest choices you will make throughout this wedding process. I pride myself not only in my work but by making my clients day fun, relaxing + memorable!

I cannot recommend Ashlee enough! I was super worried about finding a hair stylist for my wedding; my bridesmaids knew what they were doing, but my mom, sister, and I all have complicated hair textures with various issues like over bleaching and alopecia. I knew I wanted someone I could trust - someone who would be nonjudgmental, positive, and honest. During my trial with Ashlee, we had pizza and yapped about various topics while we walked through different ideas. I also broke the news to her that I would have a different hair color and extensions on my wedding. Ashlee took it all in stride. On the morning of my wedding, Ashlee came in with my coffee order and immediately lit up the room. Everyone felt comfortable with her and she was such a joy. My sister, who experiences hair loss from medication, felt so beautiful on my wedding day and was able to have her hair done in a style that framed her face and hid any patches. After she was done with our hair, Ashlee stayed an extra couple of hours to do touch ups on my hair during my bridal portraits and even our couples portraits in downtown Boston! She helped me hold my veil and my dress and even took behind the scenes photos for my husband and I to have! Honestly, I can’t say enough wonderful things about Ashlee! You should stop reading this review and just send an inquiry already!

PK And The Mighty Seven 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Cambridge, MA

PK and the Mighty Seven has been celebrating with newly married couples since 2016! We were originally formed as a Jamiroquai tribute band, playing mostly music by the famed UK group along with other songs we enjoyed. Since that time, we've expanded our song list and played many weddings, which we love to do!

Awarded Best of Zola
Let me start by saying that we are not the type to write reviews for anybody - good or bad - but for the sake of future individuals/couples looking to book PK and the Mighty Seven we feel obligated to say that if you are looking for a band to entertain whatever party you are hosting you MUST choose PK and the Mighty Seven. To start, Matt was incredibly communicative and responsive during the initial planning stages, promptly responding to e-mails and joining several Zoom calls leading up to our event. We had a vision for our special day and they accommodated each and every one of our requests. On the day of they arrived early and did the necessary prep work to ensure they were fully situated to provide our guests with the night of a lifetime. They took special care to accommodate our unusual first dance request, song recommendations, and the ambiance we sought to instill. We had a wide array of guests and the overwhelmingly consistent feedback we received was that the band was AMAZING. No exaggeration - the majority of our guests said they were the best band they'd ever experienced. If you are getting married or have a special event in their area you will be doing yourselves an immense disservice not to hire them to make your evening as spectacular as you want it to be.
