We used Comeketo for our rehearsal dinner in The Berkshires. They were so responsive and made the process so much fun! We got to go to their restaurant and sample all the food and they were kind enough to do a rodizio style at our venue in The Berkshires! It was such a fun & different way to serve food, people are still talking about it. Not to mention, the food was delicious and there was such a wide variety.

Her quick thinking and preparedness in that unexpected situation really highlighted her dedication and care. Throughout the entire process, Lauryn’s communication and attention to detail were remarkable.

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’ve attended quite a few weddings by this point and he outshined every other DJ we’ve seen.

BOOK NOW!!! Having our wedding at Barn at Blackstone National was the best decision we made. The venue is gorgeous, the food was delicious, and the day ran smooth because of everyone's expertise and flexibility. Kate and everyone else at the barn were nothing but kind, patient, helpful, and truly wonderful. Kate was not only a phenomenal day of coordinator but was available for any questions and several VERY helpful meetings leading up to the day. The weather on our day was definitely chaotic and the staff at the barn did everything in their power to help us have a beautiful outdoor ceremony. Our day was perfect and I attribute that to the barn and Kate. Excited to visit in the future!!!

Brian is one of the best wedding DJs in the business. In the past two years I’ve been to eight different weddings. Brian was the DJ for three of the eight, and the party/reception component of the events was never more fun than when Brian was driving the bus. He is an east coast DJ, but he spun tracks at both of my sister-in-laws’ weddings and as we were searching for a DJ for our own wedding we reached out just to see what he would charge for a wedding in Chicago. Turns out the price was right. Brian traveled to Chicago, MC’d our entire wedding, brought all of the equipment necessary and made our day exceptional in every way. I think there are a few things that really set Brian apart from other wedding DJs. Anyone can stand there and run through a playlist, but Brian went off book a few times to match and capture the energy of the guests. As we were in the midst of the planning process he added zero stress, and just calmly walked us through the process of selecting songs. He had suggestions and recommendations along the way. He even brought an extra speaker so that we could plug our digital piano in and the pianist would be able to play loudly enough. Overall, we can’t recommend Brian highly enough. You will not regret choosing him to DJ at your wedding, party, event. Whatever it is, Brian is a huge value add and a pleasure to work with.

We booked Spike Events for our October wedding and Spenser was absolutely amazing! We had several meetings beforehand and he was on top of every concern we had. We had a wedding at a private residence outside, so electrical needs were tricky. Spenser was thorough in what he needed supplied from us and we were able to get the right electrical needs for both his sound system and the two arcade tables we rented. He also was such a fun personality to have around and added so much to the party! We have so many great photos of everyone up and dancing due to his skill of keeping things fun! He did a great job following our timeline and was very helpful in adding to it as needed when we weren't sure how to schedule things such as first dance, cake cutting and parental dances. We had aunts and uncles that I've NEVER seen dance, out on the floor tearing it up!You would not regret hiring this company!

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.

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.

Working with Stephannie was an absolute dream. She is incredibly down-to-earth, friendly, and so easy to talk to, which instantly made me feel at ease. Her talent is unmatched—her photos truly took my breath away. I’ve always disliked taking pictures, but Stephannie has a unique way of directing without being pushy. She captured the magic of the day so naturally, making every moment feel authentic and beautiful. She’s also amazing with family dynamics, expertly navigating strong personalities while keeping things organized and stress-free.

Hola, My name is Geri! I always joke that my passion for all things beauty started in 4th grade after a tragic haircut from my father. I have been in the industry for about 12 years and every day I fall more in love with it. I started off as an assistant and now specializing in bridal hair and makeup. 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 people and i’m very fortunate to have been able to be a part of so many special memories.  I look forward to adding more!

From the moment I reached out to Geri, I knew I was in good hands. Her communication style was incredibly responsive, kind, and adaptable throughout the entire wedding planning process. On the day of, not only did they take the time to make me feel absolutely beautiful, but they also chose a talented team to help ensure the moms and bridesmaids felt their best as well. She listened to my feedback and helped me look and feel like my truest self. Shes the absolute best and sweetest person, and I couldn't have asked for a better beauty professional for my wedding day. The quality of their work and attention to detail was truly effortful and considerate. I am so grateful to have her help make my wedding day so special.

Writing reviews was the last things I had on my big ol wedding to-do list. I mostly put it off because I truly did not know how to put into words how perfect most of my vendors were. Jessica was no short of perfection. She was incredibly easy to schedule with, chat with about what I wanted, and offered up advice on all things beauty. Her package deal is incredible, her pre wedding face kit is amazing, her touch up kit is still use to this day, and her own facial products are some of my faves. I didn’t have “mini facial” on my wedding morning timeline but omfg I would tell every bride it’s absolutely necessary. During my trial (at her adorable home studio!) we went in a traditional direction and 5 months later I asked her to pivot entirely and go foundation-less. I’d seen it on her Instagram page and was so impressed and oh man did she pull it off. I felt so natural (I’m not someone who usually wears anything but moisturizer and mascara) and to not have to wear foundation on my wedding day was such a relief. I felt so incredibly beautiful on my wedding day - and so did my bridesmaids. Jessica is worth. Every. Penny. And I highly recommend her partner in crime Allison who made scheduling so easy and honestly brought such a bff vibe to the wedding day it was amazing. 5 stars , 10/10, A you name it!
