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! (Included in the review is the last dance of the night when everyone had gone home and my husband and I closed out the dance floor!)

Our country band was hired by Sarah at Zola for a series of musical performances during the summer of 2020. All communications were clear and concise. Payment for services was fair and prompt. As this was during the Covid pandemic, we had multiple conversations regarding the safety of both the performers and the guests and all of our concerns were taken very seriously. Sarah was a pleasure to work with and we hope to be able to work future events together

The venue itself was absolutely beautiful - there was no need to do anything crazy to decorate, as the space was so elegant and well-designed already. All of our decorations and centerpieces were dropped off ahead of time, and the staff arranged everything so beautifully. Our guests loved the open bar and the overall flow of the event.

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.

Our wedding at Harrington Farm was absolutely perfect and stunning. Everything about the venue and the staff working there are of the highest quality. From the moment we went on our tour with Lauryn, we walked out of the venue immediately knowing we would sign. She is the most wonderful and passionate wedding coordinator who walked us through everything before the wedding and ran the wedding flawlessly. The all inclusive package handles everything you need for the big day, and the preferred vendors are amazing to work with. It really made the day less stressful than it could've been. The outdoor ceremony space is so beautiful in the spring, perfect for a long walk from the farmhouse down the aisle for you to bask in the moment. The barn itself is also a great party space. The coffee bar is such a nice addition that was packed all night. The outdoor fireplace provides a wonderful retreat when you need a breathe of fresh air. The food was phenomenal, especially the dessert that came from a local bakery. The dance floor looks amazing if you have the bistro lights and can get your florist to hang greenery on the cables. The entire night was perfect, and I would wholehearted recommend you to reach out for a tour because you'll definitely fall in love with it.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’ve never seen a bride look so serene and glowing at the same time. You could see the story of their love written in every glance. The groom’s hands shook slightly when he held her during the vows, and my eyes welled up immediately. Their rings sparkled like stars, and their words felt like they came straight from the heart. The bridesmaids couldn’t stop crying, and the flower girl seemed amazed at the magic around her. The ceremony ended, but the air still shimmered with love. At the reception, their laughter was contagious, and I caught myself smiling through every toast. I could tell everyone present was touched by their connection. It felt intimate, even though there were dozens of guests. I remember thinking that true love really does exist. The night ended with a spectacular fireworks display, and I swear the bride and groom looked like they were glowing even brighter under the sparks. It was a moment I’ll carry in my heart forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!!

Greg Bedard was a fantastic choice for our wedding DJ. From our first conversation, he was easy to reach and got back to us quickly with answers to all our questions.

He went above and beyond by adding extra microphones and reverb for our singers, and he really understood how to keep people dancing.

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.

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.

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 and her team transformed our harsh, industrial wedding venue into the most romantic, dreamy space I've ever seen. She suspended fabric, built an incredible floral installation, hung vines, and created the most beautiful centerpieces, bud vases, and bouquets. Her eye for design and artistry is incredible, her flowers are stunning, her hardware is beautiful, and she is so kind, communicative, and easy to work with. I got a few other quotes before I went with Emily -- not only did her flowers end up looking far better than those vendors' flowers (based on pictures I'd seen), but her prices were better, too!

Awarded Best of Zola
After your venue — and your partner (in that order) — your photographer is the most important choice you’ll make for your wedding. They’re the ones who help you preserve the day forever. They’re also with you through so much of it, so you want people who make you feel comfortable, relaxed, and genuinely add to the experience. Joe and Elin do exactly that. From start to finish, they partnered with us to make sure everything ran seamlessly — from helping us build a detailed timeline to ensuring everyone felt included and cared for throughout the weekend. We lost count of how many guests asked, “Who are your photographers? They’re the nicest people!” or commented on how Joe and Elin made the day even better — and how often do you hear that? They captured every moment beautifully, brought a sense of calm and fun to the day, and left us with photos we’ll treasure forever. Joe and Elin are the easy choice — and one of the best decisions you’ll make for your wedding.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Bloo Aura was a delight to work with for my wedding day beauty needs. Their communication style was quick and simple which put me at ease throughout the planning process. They were able to accommodate a last-minute makeup trial when I was in town which I was incredibly thankful for. Geri and her hair stylist did an amazing job on both hair and makeup at a very reasonable price. We couldn't have been happier with the results and highly recommend Bloo Aura to any couple looking for a talented and personable beauty team for their wedding day!

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!

The Traveling Tee Events 
Rating: 5.0 (13 reviews)
  • Planner
  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Mendon, 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!
