PK and the Mighty Seven 
Rating: 5.0 (31 reviews)
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves East Arlington, 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
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.

Picking a wedding photographer was overwhelming because of the sheer number of amazing vendors. When I reached out to Jenn she was so quick to respond and we immediately felt like old friends. She takes so much time to understand your vision, you and your partners story, and consistently asks for feedback to ensure she’s providing the level of service you expect. My husband, family, and friends all raved about her work and also her professionalism on the day of our wedding and beyond. I truly can’t stress enough how wonderful our experience was working with Jenn. She listens and provides a consultative approach and experience that I have never seen done by other photographers. Not to mention we are obsessed with our photos and her signature style. Don’t look elsewhere, just go ahead and book her!! 12/10

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.

Her exceptional talent and attention to detail were evident throughout the process. We also appreciated her ability to deliver the cake to the venue, which made our planning much easier. Even though it was a cutting cake, we did have our closest family try some. They enjoyed it so much that they asked for more to take home. Instead, my now husband and I ate the enter thing after the wedding ️. We highly recommend Kaly and look forward to the opportunity to work with her again.

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!

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. It's been a crazy ride so far, and I can honestly say I still love what I do! I am so grateful that 400+ wedding couples have trusted me to be a part of their weddings, to document one of the milestone days in their lives, and to create beautiful heirloom albums and artwork they can enjoy for a lifetime. Ultimately, that's what it's all about, serving my clients and creating an amazing experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
We have immense gratitude for Randall and incredible respect for his work! We know we made the right choice selecting him for our wedding. From the very first conversation one year prior, he impressed us by looking up the time of sunset for our fall wedding day. If it wasn't for his planning, we would have started the ceremony later and missed out on daylight photos. Randall captured our inner essence and joy on our wedding day. The gallery of photos he produced tells the story of our special day far beyond the images. He is soft spoken, gentle and unassuming in his manner. We didn't even notice him throughout the ceremony and reception (and that's a compliment). He puts so much time and effort into the planning process that the day is seamless. We had multiple planning conversations, and he rightly insists on gathering information from the bride and groom ahead of time--including a written plan of all groups to be photographed on the actual day. He is a consummate professional and it shows! By the time we met him on the day-of, he already felt like a trusted friend. He knew exactly where and when to photograph us and our guests, and he allowed us to create humorous and unconventional shots as well! We were literally speechless when he sent us finished photos. Everyone who has seen them has also raved about their quality, essence, and creativity. We love them all and we are forced to nitpick in order to select prints. We would choose him all over again!!

Devens Common Center was the perfect wedding venue for us. From the moment we first reached out, their communication style was immediate and helpful - if they didn't know the answer to one of our questions, they kept us updated while they researched it. The staff was incredibly friendly and patient with all of our many questions. The venue itself was beautiful and exactly what we were looking for - an all-inclusive package with a hotel on-site for our out-of-town guests. Devens was the ideal space for our special day, and we couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. We highly recommend this venue to any couples looking to host their wedding celebration.

We recently had our wedding at the Kimpton Marlowe Hotel, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the beautiful venue to the flawless execution, everything exceeded our expectations. A huge part of that was thanks to our incredible wedding coordinator, Rachel Barlaam. Rachel is a true gem—organized, calm, and so dedicated. She executed every detail perfectly and made the entire planning process feel seamless. I can’t express how grateful I am for her expertise, professionalism, and warmth. She truly went above and beyond to make our day special, and it showed in every moment. If you’re considering the Kimpton Marlowe for your wedding, I wholeheartedly recommend it—and especially working with Rachel. She made all the difference.

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!

If you are looking for a city restaurant-style reception, Pagu is truly the best of the best. First of all, you can't beat the food, it is incredible! Not your typical wedding food, thank god! The team at Pagu, especially Amanda the manager, are so kind and helpful. They made the whole planning process so easy and enjoyable and we felt so welcome and special every time we visited the restaurant. They also worked seamlessly with our planner and our other vendors. We are so thrilled that we chose Pagu for our reception and can't wait to be able to go back for our anniversaries for years to come!
