Our flawless execution, gorgeous presentation and unequaled value will ensure that your day will be spectacular.

We had the pleasure of working with Vinwood for our July 2025 wedding at The Evermore. From the very beginning, Vinwood was organized, clear, communicative and helpful. We worked with Liz during the whole planning process, and she was WONDERFUL! Her bubbly personality and expertise made us feel comfortable and excited. Liz was thorough, communicative and helpful with every single detail of planning. Vinwood’s extensive list of options and choices were so fun to choose from, and the ability to customize many of the choices was a great surprise. Our guests RAVED about the food and its beautiful presentation. The stunning grazing table at our cocktail hour was the topic of many family conversations, as well as how the delicious passed appetizers seemed endless! The food at our reception was fresh, hot, delicious and plated beautifully. The bartenders were friendly and efficient, and our signature drinks were better than we hoped for. On the day of our wedding, Kristin was our coordinator. It’s hard to find words to describe how incredible she was. From the moment she arrived, Kristin was the perfect mix of calm, excited, and prepared. She made us, our bridal party and our immediate families feel relaxed, taken care of, and SPOILED! Kristin handled everything for us behind the scenes, never appeared flustered, and went above and beyond to make our day enjoyable. From communicating with vendors, coordinating with the photographer, organizing big moments, and making sure everyone had what they needed, Kristin was the magic sauce that made our wedding the most wonderful day. My mom won’t stop talking about how Kristin offered to grab her more comfortable shoes,or how she insisted we should NEVER wait in a line for a drink or refreshment. We haven’t stopped raving about Kristin since the day of, and we’ll always feel grateful she was part of our special day. Thank you Vinwood team! You are the wedding industry’s version of a chef’s kiss.

Fresh pressed florals 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
Ipswich, MA
  • Event extras
  • Floral preservation
  • Starts at $495

We carefully select, press, and arrange each flower to highlight its natural beauty while creating a timeless keepsake designed to last for years. We offer pick up at your venue in the greater Boston area.

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).

Terri Unger Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
Ipswich, MA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

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. My approach blends a documentary eye with a fine art perspective, creating images that feel honest, thoughtful, and true to the people I photograph.

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.

WILLOWDALE DELIVERS ON EVERY LEVEL!!! We could not have imagined a more perfect day in our wildest dreams and the Willowdale venue and team were a HUGE part of that. The Coach House Suite was beautiful and clean and a great way to start our day. The mansion and surrounding park showed off for our fall wedding - the landscaping was impeccable, the set up under the tent made our mouths drop, and the team (with special shout out to Jeanine) executed every one of our many details. The food was delicious - like actually good not just good for a wedding. The whole team at Willowdale was calm and knew how to execute on the day-of. They made having our pup there for the ceremony easy and meaningful. They also have a great list of star studded vendors (especially our DJ - Mark Dixon!). The team also ensured we could incorporate cultural traditions seamlessly. And the cookies!! Could not recommend more highly! One tip for the brides with a million details - the Willowdale team is incredible, but they do not have the capacity to plan all your details (they are too busy killing it for the couples getting married that month at the venue). If you have a lot of moving parts, might be worth a planner.

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.

Looking for a more “blank slate” industrial-style venue, we found Olio, and we could not be happier with our decision! Sarah was an absolute gem to work with. From the moment we saw the incredibly detailed website, it was the clear choice! Sarah was extremely communicative and helped us with every question and concern we had quickly.

I craft and officiate custom weddings, handfastings, commitments, and vow renewals for unique couples. Whether spiritual, Pagan, traditional, or offbeat, your ceremony will celebrate your story and feel personal, true, and beautifully you.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Alycia is an amazing artist; she is professional, friendly; and she really listens when you tell her what look you want. When I was deciding on my wedding makeup, I was struggling to articulate exactly what I wanted. But Alycia took the time to help make my vision for it become a reality, trying a few iterations until it was perfect. I couldn’t have been more happy with how it came out- natural and looking like me! My bridesmaids felt the same with the makeup that she did for them as well. In fact, a few of them then booked her for their own weddings!

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!

Erin was the BEST decision we made for our wedding! The second I saw her work, I knew I wanted her to photograph our day. Before we even booked, we had a great conversation on the phone and she took the time to listen to me yap for probably an hour . I immediately felt comfortable with her and knew she was someone I wanted to work with. Erin made our wedding day so special, fun, and lighthearted. She was incredibly organized while still making everything feel easy and natural. She somehow managed to keep us on schedule while also making us feel like models. Everyone kept calling her our hype woman, and I had so many people come up to me after the wedding telling me how amazing she was. When we got our photos back, we were absolutely blown away. Erin is so talented and creative, and we genuinely loved every single photo. It made deciding what to frame almost impossible! She captured all the big moments and so many little moments that we didn’t even realize were happening. Looking through our gallery felt like reliving the entire day. Her editing style is honestly the coolest. It’s moody but still light and timeless at the same time, and it fit our wedding perfectly. Beyond being an incredible photographer, Erin is just an awesome person. We seriously became friends throughout this process, and I know we’ll be reaching out to her again for any future life milestones. She took one of the best days of our lives and turned it into snapshots we’ll cherish forever. I truly cannot recommend her enough. If you’re thinking about booking Erin, do it!

From my first meeting with Erin, I knew The Dirt Empress team would handle our wedding florals with love and care. Erin was such a phenomenal communicator, showing us options and styles to help us design our floral vision. Not only did she come with suggestions to compliment our budget, but her pricing was competitive and transparent. On the day of, Erin blew my expectations out of the water. The quality of the flowers was unmatched with every detail hit right on. The Dahlias were fresh, local, and absolutely stunning. A huge thank you to Erin and The Dirt Empress team for making our wedding florals an absolute dream come true!

I'm Marc Sadowski, a New England wedding photographer with 20+ years of experience capturing weddings across New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, and beyond. My approach is candid and documentary — I stay back, watch, and wait for the moments that happen when you forget the camera is there. I learned photography as a photojournalist, where you get one shot or you miss it forever. That instinct drives everything I do on your wedding day.

Hiring Marc was honestly one of the best choices we made for our wedding. Right off the bat, he was super organized and easy to communicate with. We had a multiple of calls/meetings before the big day to go over our schedule and what we wanted everything to look like, which gave us so much peace of mind. On the day of, he was amazing to work with. Neither of us wanted to feel stiff or forced into weird poses, and he completely respected that. He stuck to what made us feel comfortable, and it made the whole process feel natural and fun. Plus, he is ridiculously talented and brought such a great energy that made the entire day feel magical. We're so grateful for him!

The ceremony felt like stepping into a dream. The bride’s veil floated behind her like clouds, and the groom was grinning like a child seeing something amazing for the first time. Every word they spoke seemed to hold the weight of a thousand promises. I couldn’t stop smiling or wiping away tears. Their love was so pure it made the air feel warmer somehow. Even the smallest details, like the handwritten notes at each place setting, were filled with care. When the first dance began, I felt like the room had melted away, leaving just the two of them in a perfect bubble of happiness. Their families’ laughter and tears made me believe in bonds that last a lifetime. I left the wedding inspired, happy, and completely moved. It was impossible to imagine a day more beautiful or full of love.

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.

I had my eye on The Grove at Briar Barn Inn since it was simply a blueprint on an Instagram post. From the start, I knew it was going to be where I would get married someday. There is just something so quintessentially charming about the post and beam restaurant and the quaint New England Inn. The entire experience working with The Grove was great. We picked December 8th for not only the idea of a winter wedding but also for the holiday decor and availability for our preferred vendors. They were flexible in putting together the details and stuck to all the outlined dates and deadlines. We were assigned our wedding coordinator, Jeannine, about six weeks out as they said, and we were able to have our wedding details meeting soon after. The payment portal was easy to use, and the planning pod was intuitive and a great spot to keep important details in order. Jeannine answered all my questions promptly, and in the week leading up to the wedding, she was available for us to drop off all the decor ahead of time and spent time reviewing our vision one last time. On the day of, she was present, available, and helpful. She was detailed and organized and never pushy. She let us have our day and was there to help transition to the different elements seamlessly, paying attention to all the details so we wouldn't have to. Our guests have had only positive things to say about the entire day from the incredible food and the overall atmosphere. The only critique I have of the entire experience is the check-in process at the Inn. We had a 20 room block and ended up with 29 of the 30 rooms booked by our guests. The Inn has a very strict 2pm early check-in for 50 fee or 3pm otherwise check-in. We had a Sunday wedding in December where we had a first look and formal portraits at 2pm before a 4:00 ceremony because of the early sunset. We weren't able to stay Saturday night due to another wedding buy-out. The Grove accommodated me by making the hospitality suite available for us to get ready in; however, the Inn did not accommodate the groom getting ready. We rented out the Silo/Library for 250 to try to have a space for the men to get ready, but they didn't set up the privacy screen and there were too many people milling around for him to get changed in the non-private space. After a lot of inquiry from our wedding coordinator, our officiant, and our makeup artist, they finally let him into the room at 1:45 for the additional 50, but at that point it was only enough time for him to drop his phone and wallet. He ended up changing in the single stall bathroom in the basement of the Inn, which is a nice bathroom of course, but we would have liked a little more flexibility for us to have 1 room with early check-in to give him a bit more privacy. Flipping one room early for the bride and groom doesn't seem like a lot to ask in the grand scheme of the day or even offering some alternatives - we likely would have paid for a full extra night even if we couldn't get into the room the night before just to have the spot, but they didn't give us any options to work with until 1:45 p.m. ahead of 2pm call time. My recommendation for future couples is to negotiate into the wedding contract for something ahead of time if you could potentially run into the same issue, especially if you're out of towners who don't have other options nearby.

We are so grateful we chose Esther for our wedding! She was absolutely lovely and professional from start to finish. Beyond capturing the day beautifully, she went above and beyond even helping with little things like bringing us food and making sure we were comfortable, which made such a difference in keeping the day stress-free. The photos are stunning, and we love that she shared a sneak peek so quickly. It was so special to relive those moments right after the wedding. She has such an eye for detail and a warm, calming presence that made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We couldn’t recommend Esther more highly to anyone looking for a talented, thoughtful, and genuinely caring wedding photographer.
