As a co- founder and member of the Holdin' Back Band with Paul, Emma, and Phil, I can tell you that the Band was successful because of the song arrangements, instrumentation, and Emma's professional vocals. Emma's voice enlightens a crowd as they dance, enjoy a beverage, or socialize as her wonderful voice causes all to listen and enjoy! This band is a joy! And the addition of Phil's steel drums brings a whole new tropical feel as he is one of the best in the industry. Paul is a great MC ( keeping the celebration moving) as well as entertainer, and adds a mellow guitar or Uke to the instrumentation, making this band a top choice for weddings!! They are reasonably priced and a great choice to make for any wedding !! It has been a real joy to work alongside Emma, Paul & Phil ! You will love them !! Craig Smith

The Happy Couple Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Holden, MA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,400

We have history, we have cameras, we have a height difference. And we think two heads are better than one, four eyes better than two. We are Joe and Katye Brier, and picture-making is a daily passion and pursuit in our family. It’s the souvenir we take home after traveling, and they way in which we wrap our heads around the passage of time. Our approach to wedding photography is to extend as much care to the small moments as we do to the marquis moments of the day.

While researching wedding photographers, my wife and I stumbled upon HC's work and we knew we had to reach out. For our small wedding, we only needed one photographer, and Joe was everything we were looking for. We didn't need a bunch of portraits of the wedding party and family, and only had a rough idea of a post-ceremony photo-op. We basically told Joe to think photo-journalism and gave him complete freedom. We're so happy with the results. There are so many candid moments that you will completely miss on your wedding day, and his stealthy patience and perspective showed us things that we would have never noticed. He has a really fantastic eye and sense of moment. Communication was great, and his attitude was unrelentingly positive. He was the only non-local vendor at our wedding, and fit right into our little community.

Awarded Best of Zola
When my (now) husband and I were booking vendors for our wedding, I had no idea where to start looking for a hair and makeup artist. I decided to let Zola recommend some vendors and when Danny from Fine Line Artistry reached out, I immediately loved his vibe and I booked with him fairly quickly. My entire experience with Danny was fantastic. He is super fun to work with, very communicative and professional and he was able to recommend a hair stylist for me, that he often works with. Lia did a GREAT job styling my hair (which is somewhat difficult to work with) in a way that made me feel comfortable and beautiful. Danny's makeup was absolutely flawless and made me feel completely glamorous. Both my hair and makeup lasted ALL DAY LONG. I was even able to sleep in my wedding hair and have a Sunday brunch with minimal mussing! Would absolutely recommend Fine Line Artistry to anyone in the Greater Boston area.

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!!

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.

The quality of his work was exceptional, and he captured so many special moments, including my 93 year old grandfather tearing up the dance floor. It is a picture I will treasure forever.

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.

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.

Emily made my floral dreams come true on our July wedding day. Not only was the end product amazing but she was so easy to work with, giving us so much guidance and doing the most she could with our budget in mind. I can't gush enough about what an incredible design eye she has. The photos speak for themselves and are even better than my Pinterest board vision. Thank you Bell Brook Farm!!

Joe Dolen Photography was fantastic to work with from start to finish. He kept things professional but also made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, which really showed in our photos. Joe was pushy about getting us to take pictures with the people who mattered most to us, and we're so glad he was because those are now our favorites. His work has a fun energy that perfectly captured the joy of our wedding day. The only thing I wish is that we'd asked him to take more candid shots throughout the reception, but that's on us, not him. We'd absolutely recommend Joe to any couple looking for a photographer who delivers quality work without taking himself too seriously.

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!

Bloo Aura was truly a dream to work with on our wedding day! From the start, Geri was transparent, honest, and incredibly kind. Her communication was excellent, and I felt comfortable reaching out at every step. On the day of, Geri was a true professional and a master of her craft. She was able to accommodate a last-minute addition to my makeup and perfectly time everything that needed to get done, including mine, my mother's and maid of honor's hair and makeup. The quality of her work was exceptional - my hair and makeup lasted all day and night! I have so much gratitude for Geri at Bloo Aura, and I recommend them 1000%!

The Traveling Tee Events

  • Planner
  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Holden, MA

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.

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 couldn’t be anymore pleased, and we will forever recommend the Colonial Hotel!

From the moment we first inquired about hosting our wedding at Harding Allen Estate, the team was incredibly timely, friendly, understanding, encouraging and welcoming. Their attention to detail and commitment to making our day special was unparalleled. The venue itself is simply gorgeous, with a fun and whimsical, almost fairy tale-like atmosphere. We were given the freedom to be silly, unique and move about the property as if we were all old friends, finding nooks and crannies to sit and talk for hours. One of our favorite memories was when I wanted a silly picture in the library, and the staff made sure the gentleman there stayed hidden, allowing us to play and giggle like kids in the dorms. The bridal suite was also set up waiting for us with lights and mimosas, so I could just relax and breathe, knowing everything was being handled with our best interests in mind. Harding Allen Estate truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect.
