The Colonial Hotel was the perfect place to host our wedding. We stayed over the night before and got ready there the morning of, and had our cocktail hour and reception under the tent. From the first email, Mary was beyond helpful and communicative. She made the entire process as smooth as possible. I always felt like she had it under control! She even let us drop off our decor a couple weeks in advance, and then her and her team handled all of the setup. Although I was extremely involved in the planning during my engagement, Mary made it easy to enjoy the day and forget about all of the little things. The convenience of the Colonial Grille made it easy to continue on to our after party. The food was great and so were the drinks! The best part was finishing pictures and immediately having Mary deliver my new husband & I our signature cocktails without having to ask. Their partnership with Gerardos also made the cake process extremely easy. Would 10000000% recommend working with Mary & her team for your big day!

Our guests have described our wedding as the best they have ever been to, and so much of that is thanks to Spenser. From start to finish, the music was absolutely perfect. The dance floor was packed all night, the transitions were seamless, and every song choice kept the energy high. Spenser read the crowd flawlessly and created an atmosphere that was fun, elegant, and unforgettable. The professionalism, communication, and attention to detail throughout the entire process made us feel completely at ease on our big day.

I loved loved loved our experience with Comeketo catering for our wedding. Right from the start the service through Eduarda was impeccable. She went above and beyond every step of the way. I cannot say enough good things about her. And even if the food was average I probably would still recommended Comeketo just based on service alone but the food was fantastic. We did two tastings with them, as the food at our wedding was one of the most important things to us and we wanted to curate the perfect menu. Our guests were a good mix of different ethnicities and age groups and they all raved about the food. They also worked with me to create a custom grazing table and our guests loved that too! I just wish I had more photos of the rest of the food. I I will surely be using them for all our catering events!

Hi, I'm Danielle (but you can call me Danie) I’ll let you in on a little secret—I don’t love my wedding photos. And while I loved the day, I didn’t connect with my photographer, and it shows. That’s why, as your photographer based in Massachusetts, I prioritize getting to know you as a couple and helping you feel comfortable from the first moment we connect. Because when you feel good, your photos will shine. I'll capture the moments that matter, big and small, and I'll do it in a way that's relaxed, authentic, and true to your vision.

Awarded Best of Zola
Danielle was hands down the best vendor we had for our wedding — truly above and beyond in every way! From the moment I met her, she brought such a calming presence that instantly eased my nerves. Throughout the day, she became my go-to person for almost everything, not just photography. Whether it was helping with timing, keeping us on track, or simply offering a reassuring word, Danielle was always there! She captured every special moment with such care and creativity. The photos are absolutely stunning — timeless, emotional, and full of life. But beyond the incredible images, it was her professionalism, kindness, and calming energy that made the biggest impact. One of my favorite moments of the day was a surprise I had planned for my soon-to-be husband. We play the game “punch buggie,” so I arranged to have a vintage VW Beetle as the ultimate punch buggie surprise on our wedding day. Danielle went out of her way to help make it happen — she reached out to the owner of the car, coordinated the timing and location, and helped execute the surprise flawlessly. It was such a fun and meaningful moment, and it all went off without a hitch thanks to her! I would absolutely recommend Danielle to anyone in a heartbeat!! If we could do it all over again, we’d book her again without hesitation. She is truly a gem and made our day that much more special!

We honestly could not have asked for a better venue than Harrington Farm for our wedding. From the very beginning, the entire team was so kind, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. A huge shoutout to Lauryn and Jess, who were truly amazing to work with. They made the whole process feel easy and were always there to guide us, answer questions, and make sure everything stayed on track. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. It is such a unique space, and so many of our guests told us they had never seen a wedding venue like it before. It really made the entire experience feel special and memorable. We had a Hindu ceremony, and the team was incredibly accommodating of all our traditions and requirements. They also helped so much with coordinating everything on the day, which allowed us to be fully present and actually enjoy each moment. One of the most special parts for us was the food. We really wanted Indian food, and the chef took the time to sit down with us, understand our recipes, ingredients, and preferences. They went above and beyond and absolutely delivered. The food turned out amazing and our guests are still talking about it. Everything was so well organized, clean, and thoughtfully put together. The drinks were great, and the coffee bar was such a fun addition that everyone loved. The fireplaces and outdoor patio added such a cozy and beautiful vibe, especially for our winter wedding. It created the perfect space for guests to relax and enjoy the evening. The connected farmhouse was also such a huge plus. It is beautiful and made everything so convenient, especially with the winter weather. Overall, we felt so taken care of throughout the entire process.

We chose The Barn because we immediately felt how welcoming and understanding the staff were. From the beginning, they genuinely wanted us to be happy and encouraged us to make the day our own — never questioning our choices and always supporting our vision. Our day-of coordinator, Kate, was absolutely amazing. She was on top of every detail and made sure the entire day ran seamlessly. Thanks to her and the rest of the wonderful team, everything was perfectly on time, and we were able to relax and truly enjoy the day. The food was incredible! We attended a tasting event in the spring for our fall wedding, and both times everything was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our guests’ food restrictions and allergies, which meant a lot to us. The venue itself was absolutely breathtaking — the perfect backdrop for our intimate wedding. Having Kate as our coordinator made the experience even more special. Although it was a small celebration, she felt like a friend by our side, ensuring everything went smoothly.

We hired Luis Andrade of Lionizing Entertainment for our wedding, and we are SO GLAD we did! We were looking for someone who would let us have a lot of control over our music, and we got so much more. He took our requests into consideration and did a fantastic job building upon them. Luis was funny, welcoming, worked with my grandparents on getting mics connected for the videos they were taking, played excellent music, worked off of our highly curated playlists for the cocktail hour and reception, and kept the dance floor full for hours. I have never had so much fun dancing at a wedding. I highly recommend him as a DJ, I wish there was another event coming up where we could hire him again.

We knew from the moment we drove into the parking lot that this was going to be our venue! We had an appointment with Cathy O'Brien (we still keep in touch with her to this day) and were floored with her honesty, advice, excitement, and recommendations that we signed a contract that day. Our wedding and reception were held in Paige Hall in January of 2023 and it was stunning. The staff went above and beyond, and we can honestly say that the entire event went smoothly. The food was amazing and the portions are bigger than we could have expected--not a single guest needed to do a late night Wendy's run as this was not the typical wedding food that we are used to getting at other places. From the event coordinator to the service staff, everyone was incredibly kind and professional. The property itself is comfortable, there is plenty to do on-site as well as in the area, and we recommend opting for renting The Cottage for a post wedding hangout--it is a great spot for those that want to continue spending time together after the reception is over. We have been back to the Publick House more than a few times since the wedding, as we live close enough to do so. Often we will go for dinner, but the wedding package includes a 1yr Anniversary dinner and they will even make you your wedding cake again--and that dinner was delicious. We have felt welcomed each time we have gone back and will probably make our way there this weekend as writing this has brought back a lot of happy memories. We highly recommend this venue and we hope our feedback has been helpful to anyone who is looking into the Publick House.

Rob and Rachel made the process of working together very easy and fun. As someone who does not like having her picture taken, I was nervous. They did a wonderful job at easing my nerves and making me feel more comfortable being photographed. That began with our engagement pictures. I am so grateful that those pictures were included in our wedding package. They offer a variety of packages to chose from for all budgets. They are masters behind the camera but also true professionals. They arrived on time, maintained a friendly and approachable demeanor and made us feel at ease. Rob even helped the groomsmen with their boutonnieres and pocket squares. They listened to our ideas and incorporated them into the shoot. I received all of the photographs on a beautiful, personalized flash drive. The photos are gorgeous! I also included a wedding album that is beautiful. I am so thankful I chose Reiman Photography for my wedding. I highly recommend them!

For as long as I can remember, I’ve felt most at home when I was creating art. I fell in love with photography at the age of 13, when I realized I could create art out of the moments that were already happening around me. Fast forward a bit...I've now been working as a professional photographer for over 5 years, and have had the pleasure of shooting many gorgeous weddings all over New England. I love capturing bold, fun, colorful, creative, and authentic images that you can look back at with an enormous smile on your face for years to come.

Ari was so wonderful and easy to work with for our wedding! She made the experience fun and the pictures came out so great. She had fantastic suggestions on where and when to take pictures, and made sure we got those beautiful golden hour photos! It wasn’t just me (the bride) who thought so either - my husband absolutely loved the photos and my sister ended up booking Ari for her wedding also! We also had Ari do our engagement shoot and she was so excited to highlight our personalities, taking photos in our garden, with our chickens and with our kitties! Thank you Ari for your attention and care with our big day! We will cherish these photos forever.

We were blown away by the incredible work from Fern & Fable for our wedding! The flowers were absolutely stunning, the bouquets were the perfect accent to my bridesmaids olive green dresses and the perfect fall touch to my dress! Sara truly brought our vision to life.

I had been dreaming of working with Emily Day long before I was even engaged and I am so thrilled that my experience with her was even better than I dreamed of. I think the photos speak for themselves for her artistry, but her collaboration and help leading up the the wedding was so, so appreciated, especially as last minute we were hit with an early Nor'easter, causing us to scramble and change up all our careful plans. Despite the dreary weather, her florals made the day so colorful and warm.

We were married 11/16/2024 here and we could not be happier with our choice of venue. Nancy and Donna were fantastic to work with and answered any questions we had right away. On the day of the wedding Donna was extremely helpful. We truly felt that the staff went above and beyond to ensure that we had a good day; they checked in on my husband and I during pictures multiple times to ensure we were able to enjoy the appetizers we had selected. We got so many compliments about the food and the aesthetic of the venue. If you are concerned about food allergies, rest assured that you are in good hands with this kitchen. Anything we needed they covered right away. Our easel was missing a screw and they were kind enough to let us borrow one! We truly felt very taken care of. They were extremely patient and understanding with any decisions we had trouble making or any time we were disorganized. The wedding coordinator that they recommended to us was AWESOME to work with as well. I loved the bridal suite. We had so much space and the decor was beautiful. It reminded me of my grandmother’s house which made me feel even more comfortable. I highly recommend getting the apple cider mimosas and snacks they offer while you’re getting ready there! Absolutely kept everyone happy in the morning. Our photos and portraits that were taken both inside and outside are simply gorgeous; I can’t say enough about how good they came out. The way the lighting comes in is a photographer’s dream. The entire layout of the venue makes for excellent photos. This venue is also very affordable compared to every other space we looked at. It felt like it was made for us to get married in and we cannot wait to return there for dinner on our anniversaries. Thank you so much to the Salem cross inn for being a part of the happiest day of our lives!

Welcome! Bienvenidos! My name is Geraldine but everyone calls me Geri! My passion for the industry started at a very young age. What started out as a coping mechanism turned out to be a career I truly love. I became a hair and makeup artist straight out of high school and have been in the industry for over 14 years. My ongoing education has allowed to learn so many new techniques and has given me the confidence in helping others feel their absolute best for any occasion. I love being able to connect with new friends and i’m very fortunate to have been able to be a part of so many special moments!

Awarded Best of Zola
Geri was incredible for doing both hair and makeup for myself and my wife. From the time we set up and went to the trial with her we knew she was the right choice. We needed to change the amount of people getting done several times and she always changed it seamlessly. For our wedding we had a large bridal party and needed a lot of people done for hair and makeup (9 bridesmaids). Geri and her team were incredible of ensuring everyone got the styles that they wanted. I even changed the style I wanted for my makeup drastically from the trail I did and Geri made my vision come true. Her team was fantastic with all of our wedding party and even our year old flower girl who required some extra patience. I cannot say enough nice things about how Geri and her team made me and my wife feel on our wedding day. If you’re considering booking her you will not regret it!

Curating timeless memories with the beauty God gave us. Sustainably-focused, intentional design for intimate experiences. We offer full planning and design, month of coordination plus, and content creation through our Moments by The Traveling Tee Events division.

There truly aren't enough words to express how grateful we are for everything Stephanie and her team did for us. From the very beginning of the planning process through the final moments of our wedding day, she exceeded every expectation we had—and then some. She and her team anticipated needs before we even realized we had them, solved problems before they ever reached us, and somehow made an event with countless moving parts feel completely effortless. We were able to be fully present on our wedding day because we never had to worry about a single detail. We knew everything was being handled, and it absolutely was. More than anything, she took incredible care of us as a couple. She constantly checked in to make sure we had everything we needed, kept us on schedule without ever making us feel rushed, and made us feel like the only two people in the room. Her calm presence, professionalism, and genuine kindness made what could have been a stressful process feel exciting, enjoyable, and completely stress-free. The day flowed more perfectly than we ever imagined, and that's entirely because of the work happening behind the scenes. Every vendor knew where to be, every transition happened seamlessly, and every little detail we had envisioned came to life flawlessly. We didn't have to think about logistics once—we just got to soak in every moment with our family and friends. Our guests repeatedly commented on how smoothly everything ran, and while they saw a beautiful wedding, we know it was because of the incredible person orchestrating it all. Hiring her wasn't just one of the best wedding decisions we made—it was the best decision we made. She gave us the priceless gift of actually experiencing our wedding day instead of managing it. We would recommend her a thousand times over to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares, goes above and beyond in every possible way, and delivers absolute perfection.
