Spenser was very professional from when we first spoke and through our special day. He had such a speedy set up, had the timeline down, and did a fantastic job with coordinating with our other vendors. We’ve received so many compliments from our guests telling us how good our DJ was. So many guests leave early from a wedding but ours stayed on the dance floor the whole night. 10/10 would recommend!

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!

I cannot recommend Sarah enough! From our very first conversation, she completely understood the vision for my enchanted woodland fairy wedding and brought it to life more beautifully than I could have imagined. My hair felt ethereal, romantic, and perfectly “me”- like something straight out of a fairytale. On the wedding day, she was calm, professional, and such a joy to be around, which made the entire getting-ready experience so relaxing (ya know, considering the anxiety of the day). My hair held flawlessly through the ceremony, photos, dancing, and an entire fall evening celebrating our love story beneath the trees; not a strand out of place! She also did an incredible job on my bridal party, making each person feel confident and magical while still keeping everything cohesive. Even the flower girls’ hair held throughout the celebrations! If you’re looking for a stylist who truly listens, has incredible talent, and can turn your vision into something even better than you imagined, Sarah is absolutely the one. I am so grateful to have had her as part of such a special day

Our wedding venue was an absolute 10/10, and we truly could not have imagined a more perfect place to celebrate our day. From the moment we first visited, we fell in love with the beautiful rustic barn setting. It had all the charm and warmth of a classic barn venue while still feeling elegant, elevated, and thoughtfully designed. The property itself was stunning, and having both our ceremony and cocktail hour outdoors created the most beautiful atmosphere for our guests. The scenery provided the perfect backdrop for our celebration and made the entire day feel magical. What truly set this venue apart, however, was the incredible staff. Every single person we interacted with was friendly, professional, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making our day special. Throughout the planning process and on the wedding day itself, they went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. We especially appreciated their willingness to accommodate dietary restrictions and religious meal preferences for our guests. They handled every request with care, respect, and attention to detail, making everyone feel welcomed and included. On the wedding day, the staff continually exceeded our expectations. They stepped in to solve last-minute issues before we even knew they existed, helped with decorations and setup, and made sure every detail came together beautifully. Their calm, can-do attitude allowed us to relax and fully enjoy our wedding, knowing we were in excellent hands. The level of service, attention, and genuine care we received was extraordinary. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the venue was and how wonderful the staff were throughout the entire event.

They worked with our budget giving us options we felt happy with, mixing and matching some of the premium offerings with more affordable ones. We felt heard and welcomed every time we stopped by the venue in the months before the wedding and even since. The forest and flowers on the property were beautiful and lush during our fall wedding. We chose to rent the BnB rooms which made life so much easier during our hectic days. We could not recommend them enough.

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 is the most incredible photographer you will ever work with. Not only does she make the entire process clear and near effortless on the part of the planners, but she truly listens and makes sure to capture the moments you desire most. Whether that be candid shots capturing the moment through the eyes of your guests, or of your guest, or posed/group/headshots perfect for profile pictures or to hang up - she can do it all and with the most wonderful joyful energy. My partner and I felt so comfortable, and confident, in working with Ari knowing she was approaching our wedding with as much care and nerdy flair as we were - and it was the best decision we made. She is such a delight and we couldn't be happier with our pictures and the memories we can look back on.

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!

Geri was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding day! From our very first interaction, Geri's communication was quick, concise, and friendly. She was so accommodating when I changed my mind about how I wanted my hair styled, and the end result was absolute perfection - glamorous, professional, and perfect for a bride. Geri's work is truly top-notch, and she has such a warm and personable personality. I felt like the most beautiful version of myself on my wedding day thanks to Geri. I would recommend them to any bride looking for a hair and beauty team that will deliver stunning, flawless results.

Emily was truly the best to work with and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Emily put such thought and care into the florals for my wedding and it truly showed - the color palette, the composition, the floral varieties were all stunning. Myself and guests were blown away by her work and I can't tell you how many compliments I received on the florals. I could not have been happier with the florals or the experience I had working with Emily. Not only is Emily incredibly talented, she was collaborative and extremely patient as my desires and needs changed throughout the months after we began working together. On our planning call, she was detailed, prepared, and took great feedback to provide me with a thoughtful mood board. Wedding planning can be extremely stressful and Emily was so supportive and calming when I brought up venue related stress points with her. Emily is a true problem solver and worked so hard to make me happy with a solution to an uncontrollable venue related issue. I can’t thank Emily enough for her partnership and beautiful florals that truly set the tone for my wedding!!

We had our wedding at the Colonial Hotel in July, and it was truly the best experience from start to finish! The staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. With the pagoda outside for the ceremony and the amazing outdoor tent for the reception. We had family traveling who got the pleasure of staying at the hotel, as did me and my Husband, and everything was clean and comfortable. Access to the pool and hot tub, and their amazing restaurant and bar. The day of the wedding I was well taken care of, and didn’t have to worry about a single thing, everything was decorated and prepared perfectly, they took my visions and made them come to life! Both me and my husband got many updates on the day of the wedding, making sure we knew where we needed to be and what would be happening next, which helped tremendously!

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!
