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.

Tailgate Gourmet Catering remains one of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire’s leading caterers, applauded for both its gracious service and mouthwatering take on barbecue.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the first inquiry, John’s responses were quick and he answered any questions I had. Without us being sure about booking yet, he still offered a free menu tasting that we scheduled for the same week. Our families were even allowed to come. Everything was super professional. The food was amazing, very flavorful and cooked with love. John and his assistant Julie were very thorough explaining how things work, it’s clear they aren’t newbies to the wedding world. The passion and care they have towards the business and food is amazing; it helped sell us on picking them for our wedding. It is higher than our budget initially planned for, but we know the food and service will be top notch on our special day. Plus, they’ll be cooking the food outdoors on live fire. That takes skill!

We love weddings - from start to finish, we are there for you to make sure we meet all your needs and to make beautiful photographs that will last a lifetime.

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!

We have curated a timeless repertoire through years of performance experience and proudly present it with our own unique, soulful style and energy. We can’t wait to talk with you guys!

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot recommend East Coast Soul (Philly International group) enough! 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. East Coast Soul absolutely made our wedding unforgettable. If you’re considering them, especially the Philly International group, don’t hesitate, they’re phenomenal.

We booked Hampshire House late in our planning and were worried about pulling everything together, but Victoria and her team made the entire process smooth and stress-free. From start to finish, she communicated clearly and worked with us to understand what we wanted without ever being pushy. On the day of our wedding, Victoria kept everything running perfectly—she wrangled our family, handled all the details, and even printed out name plates we forgot. The venue itself was gorgeous and elegant, and our guests couldn't stop complimenting the space and how everything came together. Victoria genuinely cared about making our day special and went above and beyond to make sure we felt supported. We couldn't have imagined our wedding without Hampshire House and Victoria's help.

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.

Where do I even begin?! Lindsey came highly recommended from a friend in the industry and honestly was such a support from the start of wedding planning. She provided vendor recommendations, talked through various ideas, and was so excited to help our vision come to life. Also, Lindsey provides so many helpful organizational tools that really helped us feel more prepared for the wedding day. On the day of, Lindsey and Jullian made everything feel effortless and went above and beyond. Family photos went so quickly because they were so organized and they made sure to get photos of all the details we were so proud of. When people talk about our wedding, one of the first things they mention is the photographers. The groomsmen will regularly talk about how Jullian saved the day with wardrobe mishaps; he also saved me from my wardrobe issues too! When my bridal jewelry was overwhelmingly tangled, all it took was handing the necklace to Jullian and it was taken care of. Once we all started dancing, Lindsey was on the dance floor, dancing with us and jumping up in the air to catch the perfect action shots. Honestly, having Lindsey and Jullian at the wedding felt like having two guests that also happened to be wedding planners, photographers, and the life of the party all rolled into one. I had more than a few guests at the end asking how I found such a cool duo and honestly I think it’s all pure luck.

I am getting married back home in Iowa and was originally only going to use CityLux for engagement photos, however, it was such an incredible experience we are going to use them for our wedding next year.

Words cannot begin to express our gratitude for this team and their dedication, professionalism, and craftsmanship. They truly delivered the wedding film of our dreams. From start to finish, they were responsive and really cared to understand our vision and what were looking for. No vendor has ever maintained such consistent communication and the woman we spoke to at the start answered all my questions and really made me feel confident in choosing them. Our prep call with videographer, Patrick, was so professional and thorough. He went moment by moment asking what we wanted captured at every stage of our wedding day. He was so meticulous and detail-oriented. He was legitimately writing every single thing done and asking specific questions to make sure he didn’t miss anything. And on the day, he and the other videographers were on time, friendly, knew when and how to capture the perfect shots, all while not making it awkward or being too intrusive. We had very special items and details we wanted captured. They didn’t miss a single thing. From a special rosary to my father-bride reveal to adorable moments of our flower girl, every single thing we hoped would be remembered, it was there on film. Oh not to mention, they are one of the few business I could find that didn’t *just* deliver a 3-5 minute trailer, but also a much longer video of your whole day. And yay for gorgeous drone footage! I grew up watching these types of wedding videos as a little girl, hoping one day I might have one of my own. EZ Production really made my dream come true.

Hi there! My name is Liv and I am a New England born event planner. Being the youngest of 12 cousins, I went to my fair share of weddings growing up. I naturally fell in love with seeing the first chapter of my friends and families life begin. I’ve worked with some of the best vendors in the Seacoast, learning and growing as much as possible.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Liv as our day-of coordinator, and we cannot recommend her enough! From the second Liv got started with us she made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Her attention to detail was impeccable, ensuring that every element of our wedding went off without a hitch. Liv’s organizational skills are second to none; she managed our timeline with precision and handled last-minute changes with such grace. Her calm demeanor and problem-solving abilities were truly invaluable on our big day. Not only was she incredibly professional, but Liv also brought a warm and personable touch to the role, making everyone feel at ease. So many of our guests commented about how wonderful she was. Our wedding party was impressed with her organization. She went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect, and her efforts did not go unnoticed. If you’re a DIY Bride or Groom seeking a Day Of Coordinator to execute your vision on your wedding day (while you focus on getting yourself ready), Liv is your girl! She is both highly skilled and genuinely dedicated, Liv is the one you want. I had met with a few other coordinators and had an instant connection with Liv! As my husband has said numerous times, Liv was worth every penny! She made our day unforgettable for all the right reasons.

Working with Prose Florals at Alli and Dan’s wedding was such a treat! Their flowers brought the whole day to life — full of color, texture, and joy. Every corner looked picture-perfect, and their team was just the sweetest to work with. Can’t wait to capture more of their beautiful arrangement soon!

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!

Jen is amazing! After she photographed my sister-in-law's wedding, I loved her style so much that I wanted to work with Jen again at my own wedding. She is extremely easy to work with and made us feel comfortable throughout the process. Her photos truly capture the day so beautifully. Even when firefighters had to crash the wedding due to an electrical issue, Jen rolled with the punches and took some of the best photos of the night of us sitting on a fire truck! I cannot recommend Jen enough!

Harmonious Hearts was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding! From the very beginning, they were fast to respond to all of our questions and incredibly easy to communicate with. They took the time to ask detailed questions about our musical preferences and timeline, and were open to adjusting things as needed to ensure our day was exactly how we envisioned it. On the day of the wedding, they were punctual, upbeat, and helped keep the energy flowing all night long. They worked seamlessly with the other vendors, including the saxophonist we hired separately, to make sure the dance floor was packed from start to finish. We had sent them hundreds of song ideas and they incorporated so we could make our wedding as personalized as possible. We highly recommend them to any couple looking for an amazing wedding band and DJ experience!

Mixing evocative Celtic songs with upbeat Americana folk and acoustic covers, Lindsay Straw delivers a soundtrack in a warm alto voice with intricate guitar and Irish bouzouki accompaniment. With over 250 weddings under her belt, she loves working with couples to provide the perfect folky playlist tailored to their tastes and needs. She provides her own sound gear and can accommodate new song requests. She's open to weddings all over New England.

Lindsay Straw was exactly what we needed for our wedding day. From our first conversation, she was responsive and easy to work with, taking time to understand what we wanted. She went above and beyond by learning new songs specifically for us, which meant so much. She included Irish songs for my husbands family, and learned two new songs for our ceremony (You’ve got a friend in me, Noah Kahan). Her acoustic guitar work was stunning and set the perfect tone for our ceremony. We'd recommend her without hesitation to any couple looking for a live musician.
