Hi, I'm Grace! I'm a mom of 2 kids (5yo girl & 3yo boy) and 2 pups in Boston, MA. When I'm not chasing after my household or working on a project, you can find me running (with a goal to run a marathon in every state) or sipping on an iced coffee. I started learning calligraphy as a creative outlet after working in healthcare through the pandemic and now being a mostly SAHM of 2 kids. I made holiday ornaments and did a couple holiday markets for 2 seasons, now am committed to weddings for most of the year with calligraphy & engraving.

We are so incredibly happy with the wedding calligraphy Grace did for our save the dates and invitations. Her talent is remarkable; the lines are so clean and perfect that they look like a work of art, yet they bring a warm, human touch to our stationery that our guests will feel the moment they open the envelope. They are absolutely stunning. If you want flawless execution and a beautiful personal touch, hire Grace.

Clockwork Boston stole the evening and our guests could not stop telling us how good they were. They know how to have a party, and despite many folks leaving our Sunday evening wedding a little early, the vibes were incredible all the way to the final song. I never left the dance floor, and glad I didn't! One piece of advice, we wish we chose more swing/oldie/calmer dance music for the DJ break in between sets. Just a suggestion for any future couples to be!

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 :)

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.

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.

Hey there! My name is Nina and I'm a passionate, supportive and inclusive wedding and elopement photographer for laidback, super in love couples. I primarily serve the Boston and New Hampshire region but am always up to travel throughout New England! My main jam is getting to know my couples so we can have an absolute ball working together! If you love city views, day trip adventures and good breakfast food, we could be the perfect match!

Nina is an incredible, professional photographer. Not only are our pictures stunning, Nina was an absolute joy to work with. She made us both feel comfortable in front of the camera and really captured the essence of our relationship. Despite the fact that this was our first ever professional photo shoot, Nina made it easy, stress free and lots of fun. We traveled from GA to have these pictures done and had never met Nina prior to the day of our shoot. However, she worked diligently with us prior to our trip to make sure all our wants and needs were met for the shoot. We highly recommend her!

I truly cannot stop obsessing over our choice to have hosted our wedding at Hampshire House. If you're looking for an elegant, world class experience with top notch catering, you will not regret choosing Hampshire House. My husband and I worked closely with Michele to plan our perfect day. From start to finish, Michele was attentive, professional, and so so helpful and responsive. She made this process so easy for us and helped us navigate through all of our choices for the big day. The wedding day itself was FLAWLESS and sooo seamless. Michele, Savannah, and every single staff member was kind, attentive, and made sure that our evening flowed smoothly. If there was anything wrong, we really did not know about it. We are so impressed with the level of care Hampshire house dedicated to us. Thank you all so much again for such a beautiful experience. All of our guests cannot stop complimenting us on how beautiful the venue was and how delicious the food was!

On the day of, their high-quality, artistic, and fun performance truly made our wedding feel like a dream straight out of Bridgerton.

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.
