Alex Cole Weddings 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
Merrimac, MA
  • Videographer
  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $4,000

Video exists in my life as an extension of everything I love about photography. Something drew me to it, and with the ever expanding video modes of my photo cameras, practice became commonplace. Being able to tell storying audibly as well as visually adds a level of depth that is hard to reach within photography. You can feel the story take you through a place in time. Moment capturing in all its beauty.

You won't just love Alex's photography, but you'll love working with him too. Half the stress of planning a wedding is communicating with vendors, but Alex was a dream to collaborate with - he listened to all our ideas and executed them perfectly. We're thrilled with how our pictures turned out and highly recommend Alex Cole Weddings to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and personable photographer.

Hollie at LW Blooms was a dream to work with from start to finish. She listened carefully to what we wanted and never rushed us through any decisions, making the whole process feel effortless. When we saw our flowers on the wedding day, we were blown away—they were even more beautiful than we imagined and tied the entire look of our celebration together perfectly.

A Little Heart Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Merrimac, MA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,995

Hi! I'm Amanda! I am a lover of color and light, whose portraits are full of genuine emotion and life. I am a documentary style wedding photographer, and I very much enjoy capturing all the little in between moments as much as I do the big moments of your day. I want you to be able to look through your album and see the moments you may have missed while you were saying I do- your sister getting a little misty while you take your vows, your aunt taking shots with your besties. I want you to see the love you share with your partner reflected in your gallery.

Amanda was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our very first conversation, I knew she was someone special. We kept trying to plan our engagement shoot, but the weather had other ideas, and through all the rescheduling she was nothing but kind, flexible, and hilarious. She’s so down to earth, and we instantly clicked. I completely fell in love with her photography style and editing, and I am beyond happy that I trusted my gut and chose her to capture our wedding day. Amanda has this incredible ability to be completely professional without ever feeling stiff or intrusive. She somehow knows exactly when to quietly document a moment and when to step in and take charge, which trust me, was appreciated more than once on our wedding day! She always had my back. And then there are the photos… I genuinely could not have dreamed of anything more beautiful. She captured every emotion, every tiny detail, and somehow made everything feel natural and authentic instead of overly posed or staged. Also, can we talk about the flat lays?! Hello?! Absolutely obsessed. The attention to detail was unreal, and those images are some of my favorites. Amanda, thank you for giving us memories we’ll treasure for the rest of our lives. You are incredibly talented, and I cannot recommend you enough!

Bowler & Jones was founded in 1988 by Phil Bowler and Robert Dompier. Over the past 30+ years we have grown into the successful company that we are today. We have focused our vision on doing what is best for our customers by providing excellence and quality service.

From start to finish, working with Bowler & Jones was a breeze. They communicated with us in a timely way and kept everything running smoothly leading up to our wedding day. When the flowers arrived, they were absolutely gorgeous and arranged with such care. What really stood out was the thoughtful touch of adding a bouquet charm for my dad—it meant so much to us. The team clearly put effort into making sure every detail was perfect, and it showed in the final result. We felt confident in their hands and couldn't have asked for a better florist for our special day.

This venue made our winter wedding dreams come true! The entire Willowdale Estate staff provided us with a truly beautiful experience. The venue itself was simply stunning, with an elegant, one-of-a-kind ambiance that made our special day feel even more memorable. All our guests raved about the food and amazing bartenders! Our coordinator, Jordan, was wonderful on the day of the wedding — she kept us on schedule and consistently checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed.

In 2021 my boyfriend and I attended a wedding at Olio and couldn't believe how perfect the space was. Being from the north shore, it was easy to get to which we loved. Once we got to the dinner portion of the wedding and had chicken parm (not your traditional wedding piece of chicken or steak) - we thought, this is the best wedding ever! When we got engaged in December 2023, the first, and only tour we had was at Olio. We assumed there would be no availability for 2024, but Sarah was able to secure us with the perfect date in June (just six months away). We knew we didn't want a traditional wedding, and loved the fact that Sarah supported our non-traditional, crazy ideas. When I took my grandmother to visit the space, she met Sarah and said "she's so nice and thoughtful, but you must have to be to work in this industry" I can confidently say after planning my wedding in 6 months that not all vendors are like Sarah and the team at Olio! They go ABOVE and BEYOND to help you create your perfect day. They are incredibly fast at responding, and always taking the time to reply with kindness which goes a long way. Sarah & team helped us craft the most perfect PARTY atmosphere for our 200 guests. We went with Premier as our caterer and loved being able to hire local Peabody establishments for food, shoutout to Champions Pub, Toscanas, and an INCREDIBLE grazing board by Edex Provisions (right outside of Olio!) Followed by epic late night snacks from McDonalds. Olio allowed us to create the wedding menu of our dreams :) I would absolutely recommend working with Sarah and the team at Olio. My friends and family are still raving about the space, the food, and how much fun the night was. Olio gives you the flexibility to create the day of your dreams, and the team is there to guide you along the way. Thank you, thank you, thank you to Olio & team!!

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!

We hired Entertainment By Scott Sica for our wedding at the Beauport Hotel in Gloucester, and they exceeded all of our expectations. From the beginning, their communication was easy, professional, and consistent, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. The quality of their work and overall value was excellent - they provided a well-put-together package that included a photobooth, DJ, and uplighting. Initially, we weren't sure about booking the platinum package, but we're very glad we did. 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.

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!

Okay where do I even start? Erin is the absolute sweetest, a true gem! My mother in law referred her, and we couldn’t have been luckier. She made Matt and I feel so comfortable and confident the entire day, and even weeks leading up to the wedding day. The one thing I would recommend is hiring her, because your wedding day is the most chaotic overwhelming beautiful experience, and she keeps you cool, calm, collected and fully present. There would be moments where I would get overwhelmed, and she would just remind me to take a deep breath and enjoy it because it truly goes by in a blink! All my girls and Matt’s guys LOVED her she was hilarious and SO bubbly it would just put a smile on everyone’s face! She also was able to control in a calm manner two wedding parties and a large family, which is hard to do! Love love love her, you need her for your special day! I will be using her for all future shoots (maternity; baby, family etc if she allows LOL)

What stood out to me most is that they didn’t just take pictures, they caught memories. There’s one of me and my best friend holding hands before the ceremony and I cry every time I look at it. The pictures of the reception are hilarious too, everyone dancing like crazy and just having fun. I love that they didn’t miss any detail, from the tiny decorations to the huge moments. The video makes me feel like I’m there again, with all the laughter and happy tears. My dad got emotional watching it and he’s not usually like that. They made sure everyone felt comfortable, even people who don’t usually like being photographed. The editing was clean and not overdone. Honestly, these are priceless memories. I feel like I’ll be grateful to them forever.

Working with Alexis Ann Photography was such a joy from start to finish. Alexis got back to us right away whenever we had questions, and her bubbly energy made the whole planning process feel effortless. On our wedding day, both Alexis and Brendan were phenomenal—they captured so many moments we didn't even know were happening, and every single photo feels warm and genuine. We received our sneak peeks so fast and had much more than we expected. There were a few family photos that I would’ve loved more direction with the spacing between members, but the day was moving fast, it was 85 degrees, and I feel like everyone was getting a little flustered (as normal for family photos they are so overwhelming…those who know, know!!). I cannot wait to see the full album because I know it’ll be a collection of clear, beautiful images that tell the story of our day perfectly. Honestly, Alexis was one of the best vendors we worked with, and we'd recommend her in a heartbeat to any couple looking for a photographer who truly cares. Brendan was her 2nd shooter that we hired alongside with her and he was so comfortable to be around, my husband and I felt we made a new friend instantly. I will definitely be looking for Alexis’ services in the future for any additional celebrations!

Vinwood Caterers 
Rating: 5.0 (23 reviews)
  • Caterer
  • Serves Merrimac, MA

Vinwood Caterers is proud to be consistently recognized as the North Shore’s favored catering company. And for good reason. Vinwood’s Signature Style and polished service have been behind all of our sensational events, from simple to lavish, for over 40 years. Our philosophy is simple. Offer fresh, seasonal food at its finest and serve it with style and unparalleled attention. Vinwood custom designs every event and our menus are tailored to your tastes and vision. Our flawless execution, gorgeous presentation and unequaled value will ensure that your day will be spectacular.

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!!

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.

Helena, the event coordinator, was a true gem - she provided invaluable guidance on the floor plans and decor that helped bring our vision to life. From start to finish, the Long Hill team made our wedding day perfect, and I would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a truly magical experience.

Madeline left products for me to do all my touchups into the evening which I loved. She is kind and honestly just wonderful to work with. On a day that can be stressful, she has a peaceful and calming presence about her that made the getting ready aspect of the day wonderful. I highly recommend her for your wedding day makeup!

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.

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.

My name is Callie, I’m an award-winning bridal hairstylist & and owner of styles by Callie. I created this beauty company to cater specifically to onsite beauty needs. From the very beginning of my hairstylist career, I knew that making women feel beautiful on one of the most important days of their lives was my true passion. Hairstyling has been my creative outlet throughout the past 10 years, I love learning new and updated techniques involving bridal hairstyling. I’ve had the pleasure of working beside some of the most sought-after hairstylists in the north shore area, and learning all the tips and tricks they’ve had to offer!

Curly hair girls Callie is your girl!! I'm the type of person to fix my hair after someone does it. A professional blow dry? I redo it. Wedding hair stylist? I redo it. I DID NOT TOUCH MY HAIR on my wedding day! Callie nailed it. She managed the curls/frizz. She anticipated the impacts of dancing and weather. She's the person you need on your wedding day especially if hiring a hair stylist is really difficult for you!

I am so incredibly happy that we had Paige with Prestige Beauty Artistry with us our hair and makeup for our wedding. She was so communicative and helped me make my vision come true! Because we were planning from across the country, I did not have time for a trial run for my hair and makeup. Regardless, Paige was able to do do both perfectly with a few photos as references! Myself, two bridesmaids, mom, and mother in law don't normally wear makeup and were looking for a natural style and it turned our perfectly! My hair and makeup were flawless all night without having to fuss or do any touchups. Additionally, the timeline Paige made for us worked perfectly and our morning went as smoothly as it could go! Paige was a large part of why our day felt so perfect. I would definitely recommend her for your wedding!!!

Hey there! My name is Marian. Part Norwegian and part American, I've been living and shooting in the greater Boston area for the last decade, capturing special moments for couples, restaurants, small businesses, families, and so much more!

Awarded Best of Zola
Marian has been the photographer for all of my family’s big life moments from weddings to maternity and newborn, most recently my wedding 10/25/25. She is a true professional - prepared, timely, personable, kind, communicative, skilled, and knowledgeable. We weren’t sure what to do in our portrait session, and Marian guided us through different poses and locations at our venue, scoping out where we needed to go for the right lighting. Photographers can be very expensive, especially for weddings, and I found her packages very reasonably priced, and her turnaround was incredible. 10/10 would recommend. Shawn and I love you, Marian!
