The Best Wedding Vendors in Ipswich, MA

“TL;DR - when they say full-service, they mean full-service! Easily the best food and drink we (and most of our guests) have ever had at a wedding. The staff and especially our coordinator, Erica, were highly communicative, accommodating, enthusiastic, and went above and beyond to make our wedding as great as it could have been! Well worth the price! It's worth noting that they were partnered with our venue, Olio Event Space in Peabody, MA, but I have little doubt that they'd do an excellent job just about anywhere else they're willing to go. We had first heard of Vinwood through our venue because they had specific requirements and a list of partnered vendors we more or less had to choose from without a ton of hassle. While this could have easily become a nightmare, nearly all doubt was washed away as soon as we attended a tasting they hosted. We got to experience firsthand how great their food and staff were before getting into the thick of things, and we were able to get a head start on picking entrees, hors d'oeuvres, linens, and chinaware while we were at the tasting. When we had to lock things in, Vinwood was willing and able to accommodate our handful of allergic/picky eaters and create a dessert spread (cookie, brownie, and ice cream sundae bar) for us because we didn't want a wedding cake. From there until the big day, they remained very communicative about what they needed from us and what we could expect from them throughout the process, even going so far as to help us map out the order of operations in the wedding! Finally, on the big day, Erica and her staff took care of us throughout and were all very kind and personable. They went above and beyond in helping us decorate and brighten up the space to make it perfect for us, and we were once again blown away by the service, food, and drinks. We had lots of comments during and after the wedding about how great the food and drinks were, too. They took care of everything in the table and chair setups/moves/breakdown with what Vinwood, the venue, and we provided, all in a timely manner. I'll never forget one of the staff stopping to let me know the bar was closing, and despite getting lost in conversation again and again, she personally brought over a drink for me with a wink and a smile when she saw me failing to get away. If you couldn't tell by now, I can't sing them enough praise - thank you, Vinwood!!”

Fresh pressed florals

Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)

“I had a fantastic experience working with Fresh Pressed florals. I sent my bouquet off to one of those big companies with Instagram ads and was in a pinch to find someone last minute for my mom’s bouquet. I found Fresh Pressed florals in Ipswich and end result was amazing and it came out way better than my bouquet which I sent to a large company (the smaller frame in comparison).”

Floriana

Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)

“From the very beginning, Floriana staff impressed us with their knowledge, kindness, and can-do attitude. The group tasting was wonderful. Floriana staff ran an entire mock wedding for the tasting, inviting vendors in, and showcasing the "add ons". We were also able to meet our amazing coordinator, Amber, and explore Floriana in more detail at our leisure. At our details meeting, Amber was thorough, kind, and did a great job of helping us guide our thinking, without forcing any opinions on us. We felt so comfortable working with her throughout the entire process. She did an excellent job of leading us without making us stressed. On the day of our wedding, we chose to rent out Floriana from 9:00 am on. It was amazing getting ready on-site while watching our venue come to life. The included getting ready suites are so beautifully decorated, but were also incredibly functional. There was plenty of space for everyone. Not only was everyone comfortable while getting ready, our detail photos came out beautiful. Floriana's early morning staff was so kind and accommodating, and made every person who came to the venue early feel welcomed and relaxed. As the bride, I diy'ed a lot of parts of our wedding. I gave some direction to Amber and her team as to where and how things should be set up. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect (including a seating chart that would not stick to its frame). Amber personally took care of everything and anything, making herself known to us, and helping with even the smallest tasks (like my broken seating chart!) Our wedding day was 90% humidity. It was a beautiful August day, sunny, 80s, but unfortunately incredibly humid. Amber and her team made quick, appropriate decisions to make sure the wedding party and our guests were taken care of. We especially loved that Amber would always come directly to us with important decisions, but made them simple and flexible. Despite not having a rehearsal dinner, Amber and her team executed a wonderful ceremony. The wedding party did not have any guesses as to what they had to do, as she made sure we were exactly where we needed to be, at exactly the right time. After the ceremony, Amber's team ushered us to the gazebo, where our signature drinks and selected hor d'oeuvres were waiting for us. It was one of the highlights of the night, sharing our new marriage with the people closest to us, before joining the rest of our guests. The attention to detail from the entire staff was impressive. The humidity finally broke during our reception, with lightning, thunder, and a 20 minute torrential downpour. The Floriana team handled it extremely well, keeping our guests dry in the tent. Once again, Amber did a fabulous job of keeping us in the loop, asking for our opinions, without being overbearing or disrupting the flow of our reception. Throughout the entire night, Amber made sure we had drinks in hand, plenty of food, and were served any specialty items first. We felt so special and cared for the entire evening. Leaving at 10:30 was truly difficult! Floriana could not have been a better option for us, and we are so grateful for all the love and support they showed us while going through this process of hosting a wedding and getting married! The venue is beautiful, the food is delicious, and the people are amazing.”

“Terri was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. We booked her just one week before our wedding day. Regardless, Terri was prompt and professional in her communication. On the day, Terri guided us through the various shots, capturing the day, the scene, and our outfits with stunning color and light. She put us at ease despite our camera shyness. One of our favorite photos was an unplanned shot of us on my motorcycle as we passed it on the street. Upon seeing it, we instantly knew that it would be the one we frame to capture the day. We were thrilled with her work capturing our elopement and highly recommend Terri.”

I’ve loved photography for as long as I can remember, and I’m lucky to have made it a central part of both my life and career. I specialize in capturing people in their environments, the connections between them, and the small moments that reveal their humanity. Weddings are a favorite because they’re full of real joy, love, and the moments that make life feel full.

The beautiful venue, the ethereal vibes, the delicious food, everything was wonderful. Our guest we're talking about wedding (again the food is incredible) for many months after, and still do.

From the moment we first reached out, their communication was great - they were super positive, friendly, professional and organized throughout the entire process. Mark Dixon at TSG Weddings was truly dedicated to making our special day unforgettable. He listened closely to our vision and preferences, then delivered a fun, creative wedding experience that exceeded our expectations.

Glen Magna Farms

Rating: 4.9 (77 reviews)

“If I could relive our wedding at Glen Magna Farms, I would 100x over. This venue was everything we wanted and more— it’s such a perfect gem and still somewhat affordable compared to other outdoor venues in New England, especially if you are looking for an outdoor tented option. It has it all— the tent, dancefloor, and tables are already included and so no need to bring in an outdoor rental company. They also only work with one catering company, one of the BEST, Vinwood Catering so that makes things really easy for you to plan and the food and drinks were incredible. I also used their day of coordinator which was great because she helped with timeline and was able to keep things moving. This is an outdoor venue only so keep that in mind there is no indoor backup option however they have a very well thought out and organized rain plan and the sides of the tent go down so regardless of weather you will be fine! We got lucky and had a perfect 75 degree sunny day in early October so the grounds and gardens were a dream. All of our guests said they have never seen a more beautiful venue — and trust me we have been to ALOT of weddings. They let you into the venue two hours before to get dressed and get ready and have photos inside the bridal and groom suite inside the mansion- which is also a dream. I really felt like I was living a fairy tale that day. There are no on site accommodations but do not fret- there are several hotel options very close by! If you are looking for a timeless, romantic, fairytale, garden wedding- LOOK NO FURTHER. BOOK IT!!”

“DJ Shyne is the difference between a good wedding and a once-in-a-lifetime, next-level, unforgettable experience. Hiring him was the single best decision we made for our wedding. He is outstanding—a true artist in his craft. It’s so clear that he’s not only dedicated to his profession but also deeply loves what he does. We gave DJ Shyne what we thought was an impossible challenge: blend pop hits, Spanish tunes, emo throwbacks, Disney jams, booty-shaking hip hop, and a long list of theme songs from our favorite TV shows and movies (everything from The White Lotus to Saw). On top of that, we added a handful of random, deeply personal songs you’d never expect at a wedding. What happened? Not only did he execute this perfectly, but he became the catalyst for a wedding that felt curated exactly to US—spinning a history of us both as individuals and our journey together woven into a seamless soundtrack. His mixing was unique, unexpected, and so much fun. As the bride, there was no place I wanted to be except on that dance floor. Our guests went wild. Compliments poured in all night and days after. We got so many texts like, “BROOO your DJ?! ” that we started to lose count. But it wasn’t just about the music. From the very first Zoom, DJ Shyne radiated charisma and professionalism. He carried that positive energy into every planning meeting and right through the reception—he even gave our speakers personal pep talks before their toasts! And when it came to group dances, he did something I’ve never seen: he stepped onto the dance floor, mic in hand, and taught the moves live. Towards the end of the Cha Cha Slide, he started teaching the crowd the moves to the Cupid Shuffle so by the time it started they were already doing it!!! No confusion, no awkward guessing, just pure joy and inclusion. He quickly became the vendor we looked forward to meeting with most. We ended each Zoom call feeling assured, uplifted, and excited about the possibilities. Out of everyone we worked with, he was the best. It does not get better than DJ Shyne. He isn’t just the DJ your wedding needs, he’s the DJ your wedding deserves.”

“Getting married at Olio was one of the best choices we made. It’s truly one of the most unique venues out there because you can transform the entire space to make it completely your own. Even though they host events every weekend, nothing ever feels “cookie-cutter.” The room becomes whatever you dream it to be — and that’s something you just don’t find anywhere else. Sarah and her team were incredible from start to finish. From the moment we requested a tour to a month after the wedding, their communication never stopped. They made us feel like family throughout the entire process. They were always there to answer my wild questions, guide me when my ideas needed reigning in, and support every detail with patience and care. Our guests loved the space and could not stop raving about it. Everyone kept saying how “us” it felt — which is exactly what we wanted. The cement walls paired with the rented disco ball created such a cool, modern, unforgettable moody BUT romantic vibe. The space makes a statement without overshadowing your personal style. Honestly, I wish I had more large parties to plan just so I could spend more time in that room. Olio is a dream venue with a dream team behind it. Highly, highly recommend!”

Witchy Woman Weddings

Rating: 5.0 (51 reviews)

“I very recently got married, and the planning leading up to the wedding went so smoothly and so quickly! Venue, florals, photography- things got checked off our list with relative ease. Then we got a bit stuck- we needed an officiant! It can seem like a simple pick, but if you don’t want to have a friend or family get ordained, and you’re not a member of a traditional religion, it can be a harder match to make. But then, we found Tara at Witchy Woman Weddings and reached out immediately. We’re so glad we did!! Inquiry was simple and responses were fast. We only spoke through email leading up to the day itself, but Tara does have the option to book meetings if you’d prefer some face-to-face contact in the lead up to your big day. She has such a peaceful and warm presence that, even if you’re meeting her for the first time at the altar for the ceremony as I did, you feel that calm and kind energy emanating towards you. The process for creating your ceremony script is both easy and personalized- Tara has an in-depth questionnaire to fill out that covers a wide range of topics so she can tailor the ceremony to your unique story and the vibe you’re aiming to create. It really covers all the bases but doesn’t feel daunting to complete. After that, she delivers a sample script and makes sure to note that edits can be made if there is anything you want changed- we didn’t make a single change to ours! We got emotional just reading through our draft and were amazed at how she captured us in the writing. To sum all this up, I am beyond grateful to have found Tara. She was the perfect person to join us together, mixing elements of both the traditional and the not-so-traditional on our Friday the 13th wedding. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a truly special, unique, and heartfelt ceremony. At the risk of sounding a little cheesy, she truly helped make our day a magical one!”

I travel right to you and create a custom schedule for you and your guests. Let's work together to make a fun and seamless day.

“I have worked with Sophia for three weddings. As a bride and as a bridesmaid, Sophia made me look and feel like my best self. Sophia was a dream to work with during the planning process of my wedding. She was extremely organized and helped me to make sure that my day-of timeline was efficient. At my makeup trial, Sophia took her time and made sure I was happy with every detail of my makeup, pausing and checking in throughout the process. On the morning of my wedding, Sophia was prepared and punctual. Her calm presence in the busy room helped me to feel at ease and relaxed. As she did my makeup, we sang throwback songs together and laughed. When Sophia worked on family members that were less comfortable with certain parts of the makeup process, Sophia made them feel comfortable and safe with her. She assured everyone that they could try things, and if they didn’t like them they could change up the plan. She made both my mom and mother-in-law feel comfortable and confident trying false eyelashes for the first time. Sophia helped everyone feel beautiful and happy! Over the course of the year as we progressed through the three weddings, I got to know Sophia on a personal level. We learned about each other's families and interests and she became more than a makeup artist, but a friend. I can’t recommend Sophia enough!!”

“It’s been one month since our wedding and every day I go back to how absolutely beautiful the day was. Liz and her team were the central part of that. With a December winter wedding, many of the traditional floral options were not applicable, but with Liz's guidance, we realized very quickly that just because most flowers may not be in season, doesn't mean that it is still not an absolutely beautiful time of year. Liz and her team effortlessly draped beautiful garland throughout our venue, transformed the central staircase into something out of a storybook, and made a winter arch piece that it still hanging on our front porch as a stunning winter decoration. It was dotted with cinnamon sticks, and ornaments, and dried orange peels in a way that we could never have thought of. It was so creative and magical and made it clear that Liz had seen our vision and expanded on it in such an incredible way. Additionally, when Liz walked in with the bridal bouquets, everyone could not stop admiring and obsessing over them. With the gorgeous variety of blooms and greens, it was truly the most beautiful bouquet I could have imagined. Even more so than the pinterest boards we all obsess over. Lastly, Liz's professionalism was second to none. She made us feel so comfortable and supported throughout the process. She was even able to incorporate pieces of my gown that had been cut off during alterations to add an even more personal, and sparkly(!), touch to the bouquets. I cannot recommend Liz enough. She made my husband and I feel so special and seen during our day, and I hope that you are lucky enough to feel the same way!”

Scott was classy and appropriate for the environment, but also knew how to get the party started and get our guests cutting loose on the dance floor. As a somewhat picky customer with high expectations, I can confidently say that Scott Sica has earned the title of "our new family DJ" - we highly recommend them for any wedding or event!”

“We had such a great experience having Kendra as our wedding photographer this August. She is so great at using her surroundings to create fun photo opportunities in the moment. In addition to our awesome portraits, we also snuck away during the reception to take some sunset pictures. The editing/lighting was perfect and were some of my favorite photos we took. For both the wedding and our engagement shoot, the outdoor pictures were fantastic and showed how talented she truly is. We are so thankful to Kendra for capturing such special memories. Choosing Cape Ann Weddings as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made!”

If I were a doctor, my clients would say I have a good bedside manner. I'm outgoing and professional. I work quickly and effortlessly. I can offer tips, if I notice your uncomfortable with being photographed. I'm accommodating and will shoot under the radar if you want a more candid style. I guess I'm a people pleaser in a way. I want you to rave about your photos.

“Rule of Thirds Photo Booth LLC was one of the highlights of our wedding day. From start to finish, the team was kind, flexible, and easy to work with whenever we needed adjustments. They set up a fantastic booth that kept our guests entertained all night long and created so much fun energy on the dance floor. The quality of the photos and prints was fabulous, and our guests loved having something to take home as a memory. We were thrilled with how they kept the party going and made sure everyone felt included in the experience.

Visit my Instagram for contact info and more photography! — ErinWholleyPhotography • Weddings are a culmination of love, life, happiness, family history, commitment, art, and so much more. My love for photography and the importance it plays in remembering cherished moments spans decades. Photographs are one of the only tangible items you receive after your wedding day (aside from the memories) to help you relive this time for the rest of your days. I will hype you up all day long to make sure you are enjoying every aspect of your day with your partner— that’s truly what it’s all about!

“My Husband and I honestly can’t say enough amazing things about Erin. She's based in Massachusetts, where we're from, and we brought her all the way to Cabo with us for our destination wedding — and it was truly one of the best decisions we made. Not only did she capture our engagement photos beautifully, but she also went above and beyond for our entire wedding week in Cabo. Erin was so much more than just our photographer — she became part of our wedding party. She hung out with us for multiple days, captured everything from our welcome party to our wedding day, and even took extra photos afterward that we hadn’t even asked for. She has this incredibly warm, down-to-earth energy that made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. So many of our friends and family couldn’t stop raving about her — they all said she truly enhanced the experience and felt like family by the end of the trip. All of our photos are absolutely fantastic. Just a couple of days after the wedding, while we were still on our honeymoon, Erin sent us 300 sneak peeks! She curated them in a way that told the story of the entire day from start to finish — it felt like we were reliving it all over again, and we loved reminiscing together while still soaking in the newly wed bliss. And when we received our full wedding gallery? Nearly 3,000 photos — every single one captured with care, emotion, and such an eye for detail. It’s insane in the best way possible, and we truly cannot wait to make our album. If you’re considering working with Erin — do it. She’s not only ridiculously talented, but also someone who will bring so much heart and joy to your wedding experience. We’re so grateful we found her!”

“Jojo is an amazing hair and makeup artist. Her work is beautiful - I am so happy with how my hair and makeup looked, and she made the whole bridal party look incredible! Her pricing is fair and I especially love that she focuses on making the bride feel comfortable at the trial and the day of. She was the perfect person to be there on such an important morning. We were not stressed at all while getting ready, and I am so thankful for that! The makeup held up all night and I didn’t even need to use the touch-up kit she provided. Definitely book her if you’re considering it!”

“We hired Marc as our photographer for our June 2026 wedding. From the beginning, Marc was knowledgeable, professional and punctual. We are a shy couple but he made us feel so comfortable. He is a great down to earth guy, we felt as if we were chatting with an old friend, cracking jokes, I forgot he was taking pictures! We had a relatively large wedding with large wedding parties but he got all the shots we wanted and then some. He has a great eye and caught very beautiful moments. We received our wedding gallery and engagement shoot gallery way sooner than we expected. We would recommend him a million times to anyone. We will continue to work with him in the future. This was hands down THE BEST decision we made. You can hire him and rest easy knowing you’re in good hands.”

“I would (and will) tell anyone looking for a wedding photographer that they’d be doing their special day a massive disservice by not hiring Silver Salt Photography. Ben was absolutely incredible to work with, from the planning meetings, to the big day itself, to providing a preview of our photos just a few weeks afterward, we were blown away every step of the way. We’re simply amazed by his ability to capture the most meaningful moments of the day, somehow being seemingly invisible yet everywhere at once. Ben has an incredible eye for detail while still capturing the full scale and emotion of the event. 1000/10. If you’re looking for an event photographer, Ben is your guy!”

Hi, I'm Alexis and I am a 27 year old full-time photographer! I joined the wedding industry at the beginning of 2020 (perfect timing right?!) and since then have conquered 100+ weddings. My goal is to make your wedding day a care free, enjoyable experience! I will make sure everything is perfect so that you don't have to.

I would love to set up a zoom call to discuss everything you are looking for in your wedding day. Thanks -Alexis

“Working with Alexis has been such a joy! We found her over a year ago and she did our engagement photos, and immediately we vibed with her. She brings such a good yet professional energy to her time with couples, and even though we were a little awkward she reassured us the photos would be great. And they were! She is a great communicator and answered all emails and texts within a reasonable time, and was overall so easy to work with. While we haven’t gotten our full album back yet (we just got married less than a week ago), the engagement photos were incredible and the wedding sneak peeks even better. I heard so many good things from our guests on how they found her professional yet sweet and personable. I would recommend Alexis to anyone as her work speaks for itself, and she was truly a delight, and I hope we get a chance to work with her again!”

“Christine was wonderful to work with. From the first call we had you could tell this is a passion for her. Between our zoom calls and emails she was easy to get ahold of and was happy to answer any questions we had. To ensure we had a ceremony that was true to who we are as a couple, she shared an example of a ceremony script she’d just done and then asked us to provide her with our love story and what we like about each other. From there she took this information and wove it into a beautiful ceremony that was personalized, paid tribute to our moms, had a little humor in it and most importantly felt natural. We were able to collaborate after she put together the first draft for any changes. On the day of she arrived early making sure everything was all set and the ceremony would go off without a hitch. I would highly recommend using Christine if you’re looking for a professional JP who really cares about what she does.”
