“The Colonial Hotel was a perfect venue for our wedding Reception. From the moment we reached out, the team there was quick to respond and provided us with detailed information to help us plan our special event. Mary and all the staff we dealt with were very helpful in making our day truly special. The beautiful ballroom with the wood floors made for a night of fun dancing; the ballroom windows, outside stonework of the building and the gazebo made for some stunning photos. We received great comments from our guests on the appetizers and meal. It was a beautiful setting for our wedding celebration and we were very glad to find it.”

He had such a speedy set up, had the timeline down, and did a fantastic job with coordinating with our other vendors.

“A different wedding makeup artist recommended me to Danny and specifically said he is the only person she likes to do her own makeup. That was an immediate good sign for me. When I first reached out to him his kindness and sincerity were the first things I noticed. He was super professional and thorough but also very easy to talk to. I ended up doing two makeup and hair trials and felt really good about my look after the second one. Lia was the hair stylist who Danny recommended and works with frequently. They were both very understanding and just wanted me to feel my best. They were right on time the day of the wedding, had such a calming presence and everyone was so happy with their hair and makeup. One of my bridesmaids who didn’t originally sign up for makeup asked to have hers done because of how much she loved everyone else’s and because we had enough time he was able to do it. After the wedding everyone said how well my makeup and hair lasted and you can tell in the photos as well! Danny and Lia were great listeners, super fun, very approachable and easy to talk to in the process of figuring out what I liked and didn’t like and just really skilled at their craft. Their pricing was also very reasonable and you could tell their passion and love for what they do was their drive. Danny was great at communicating and really organized as well. I would highly recommend them both!!”

They were easy to work with and delivered a very customized menu and presentation. This was no cookie-cutter wedding meal. Our guests all commented on the beautifully presented and unique appetizers during the cocktail reception, including the stunning fruit tower centerpiece.

“We truly cannot say enough incredible things about Joe and Elin. From the very beginning, they were an absolute dream to work with. They were professional, organized, responsive, and so clearly passionate about what they do. I actually found Joe and Elin through a recommendation from our DJ, and then I was lucky enough to collaborate with them through my job. Getting to see them work with so many couples before my own big day was such a gift. I watched firsthand how they care for their clients, how seamlessly they run a wedding day, and how consistently they deliver beautiful, emotional galleries. By the time our wedding arrived, I already knew we were in the very best hands, and they still exceeded every expectation! Throughout the planning process, they made everything feel easy and seamless. They answered every question, helped us feel prepared, and brought such a calm, confident presence that immediately put us at ease. On the wedding day, that energy meant everything. They kept us on schedule without ever making us feel rushed and somehow managed to be everywhere at once while still being completely unobtrusive. Everyone in the wedding party absolutely LOVED them and has said over and over again what a wonderful job they did. But beyond their professionalism, what truly sets Joe and Elin apart is their heart. They genuinely cared about us, not just as clients, but as people. They captured the big, emotional moments so beautifully, but also the small, quiet in-between moments that we’ll cherish forever. Some of my favorite photos were just our real reactions and emotions in the moment, and I love that. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the entire day all over again. They went above and beyond in every way, and we are so incredibly grateful they were part of our wedding. If you’re looking for photographers who are talented, dependable, and deeply invested in telling your story... Joe and Elin are it!”

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
“Choosing Danielle Littles Photography was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our very first conversation, she just got it. I came to her with ideas, inspiration, and a general vibe I wanted, and she immediately took everything and ran with it in the most creative, thoughtful way. She has such a natural eye for composition and storytelling that I felt completely confident putting our memories in her hands. One of the things I appreciated most about Danielle is how comfortable she makes everyone feel. She’s warm, friendly, and genuinely fun to be around, but she’s also not afraid to step in and give clear direction when needed—because let’s be honest, most of us don’t know what to do with our hands in photos. She struck that perfect balance of keeping things relaxed while making sure everyone looked amazing. Even the people in our group who normally hate having their photo taken ended up talking about how great she was. Danielle was incredibly communicative during the entire planning process. She checked in, asked thoughtful questions, clarified timelines, and made sure we were all on the same page well before the big day. She arrived right on time with everything organized, calm, and ready to go—exactly what you want in a wedding vendor. She also shot our engagement photos, and those were equally stunning. The consistency in her quality is unreal. And the turnaround time? Absolutely incredible. I’m used to hearing that wedding photos can take months, but Danielle delivered ours so quickly that even one of my friends who works in the wedding industry commented on how impressed she was. Looking back at our photos, I’m struck by how beautifully she captured not just the big moments, but the small, emotional ones—the glances, the smiles, the gestures that made the day feel like us. I genuinely started wondering how I could plan another event just to have her photograph it. If you want a photographer who cares deeply about her work, listens to your vision, elevates it, and makes the entire experience fun and stress-free, you cannot go wrong with Danielle Littles Photography. She is a true talent and such a joy to work with.”

“Our wedding at Harrington Farm was absolutely perfect and stunning. Everything about the venue and the staff working there are of the highest quality. From the moment we went on our tour with Lauryn, we walked out of the venue immediately knowing we would sign. She is the most wonderful and passionate wedding coordinator who walked us through everything before the wedding and ran the wedding flawlessly. The all inclusive package handles everything you need for the big day, and the preferred vendors are amazing to work with. It really made the day less stressful than it could've been. The outdoor ceremony space is so beautiful in the spring, perfect for a long walk from the farmhouse down the aisle for you to bask in the moment. The barn itself is also a great party space. The coffee bar is such a nice addition that was packed all night. The outdoor fireplace provides a wonderful retreat when you need a breathe of fresh air. The food was phenomenal, especially the dessert that came from a local bakery. The dance floor looks amazing if you have the bistro lights and can get your florist to hang greenery on the cables. The entire night was perfect, and I would wholehearted recommend you to reach out for a tour because you'll definitely fall in love with it.”

“My husband and I hired Madison as our day of coordinator. We did not hire a florist and ended up doing a lot of DIY projects for our wedding decor. We really wanted a professional to help us with setup and take-down of decor on the wedding day, so as not to burden our family/friends and take them away from the event to help. Madison was so friendly in the months leading up to the wedding and offered us lots of helpful advice on things we didn't even think to prepare for, like arranging seating charts and timing of processional songs. Our original venue coordinator ended up having to move away just a couple weeks before our wedding day, and Madison took the lead in syncing with the new venue coordinator on all the things we'd talked about. This really helped us out and took a load off our plate in those last few weeks before the wedding! The day of, she came early to the venue and, like a fairy godmother, had incorporated all of our decorations beautifully before we even arrived, so we were able to take lots of photos beforehand! Throughout the event, she cleverly found ways to repurpose some of our decor items to give them a second life, like setting reception flower arrangements along the room's bookshelves to dress them up for the ceremony, making a beautiful display with our ceremony roses and boutonnieres on our memory table, and using me and my bridesmaids' bouquets to create a beautiful sweetheart table arrangement! We were so incredibly thrilled with how well Madison and her team were able to follow our vision and exceed our expectations. A final sweet memory I have from near the end of the night - my hair was getting very tangled with my dress buttons on my back from dancing, and I was overheating and sweaty. Madison and her team arranged my hair into a beautiful low bun style so I could go back and have fun dancing again without worrying about it tangling further or looking bad. :) I'm so thankful we hired Madison as our day of coordinator, and we can't recommend her enough!!”

They handled all the details behind the scenes so we could focus on enjoying our wedding. The team clearly knew what they were doing, and we felt taken care of from start to finish. We highly recommend Publick House Historic Inn to any couple looking for a special place to get married.”

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.

“Salem Cross Inn checked all our boxes for the perfect venue. It was affordable and included an outdoor ceremony location as well as an indoor ceremony location in case of rain. Luckily, the weather was gorgeous for our early Autumn wedding to allow us to be married outside. Our guest list was small, less than 50 people, which allowed us to rent The Brookfield Room on the second floor. This was perfect for us and provided us with a dance room and recpetion room. The bridal suite gave us sanctuary to have our makeup and hair done while our amazing photographer wandered around capturing our day. The backdrop of a beautiful farm landscape made for the perfect fantasy enchanted forest wedding theme. But the staff were the real stars in our day as they made everything incredibly easy. Donna and Nancy checked in on us to make sure we were all set. They helped with some quick changes and genuinely enjoyed our party. Hailee was a superstar! She took care of anything we needed, made sure that our stuff was safe and was wonderful with the kids at our party. I cannot say enough amazing things about this venue. I am grateful for their professionalism, joy and the food was absolutely mouthwatering!!”

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 an absolute pleasure to work with! From the very beginning she was clear, communicative, and super sweet. I’m a bit difficult because I have very sensitive/reactive skin and I’m picky with my makeup, but Geri was so kind and patient, and she executed the makeup look I wanted perfectly. She’s a master with hair and her specialty, the curled half-up style, looked beautiful and ethereal all night. She even took the time to curl my bangs the way I like them and changed my lipstick when it turned out that what I had asked for originally wasn’t exactly what I pictured in my head. I am SO glad I hired Geri for my wedding! If you’re looking for a skilled hair and makeup artist that listens and will leave you looking flawless, I highly recommend Geri at Bloo Aura!”

“Working with Emily at Bell Brook Farm & Floral Design Studio was a choice we are so happy we made for our wedding day! I (bride) had seen their work at someone else's (Fall) wedding a couple of years back and the arrangements stuck in mind ever since... So I called! In preparation for our special day, we had a call with them to go over our aesthetic ideas and needs. Not only did the call help provide them with our hopes for the day, but it also helped give us a lot of valuable advice and suggestions that we ended up going with. Emily was great in her response, ability to accommodate some last minute changes, and meet our budget. On the day of our wedding, the flowers and foliage EXCEEDED our expectations. The arrangements matched our color scheme perfectly and gave the rich, summer garden vibe I was hoping for... honestly better than I could've imagined. When it comes to the logistics, BBF&FDS were very clear and upfront about costs and order of steps/information needed. They made sure to do their research on the venue's procedures and setup/broke down as scheduled. I definitely suggest using BBF&FDS for your special events! They are so talented and can make a bold, yet delicate, statement with whatever your vision is.”
