“We had the absolute pleasure of working with Keith Levine from Press Play Entertainment for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our decision. From the very beginning, Keith was incredibly informative, attentive, and accommodating. He took the time to really listen to what we wanted, offered helpful suggestions, and made sure every detail was just right. On the big day, Keith truly delivered! He kept the energy high, played all the right songs—including our guests' requests—and made sure the dance floor was packed all night long. His ability to read the room and keep the party going was amazing. Thanks to him, we had an unforgettable celebration full of fun, laughter, and nonstop dancing.

Before your celebration, you can pop into our shop for a consultation with me, Kerri, or on a phone call where we'll discuss your wedding vision and flavor preferences. We make all cakes from scratch, using fresh ingredients and buttercream rather than fondant for maximum flavor. We can also craft desserts of all sizes, from single-tier for intimate weddings to showstopping five-tier beauties. We can also craft macarons, cookies, and cupcakes, providing your guests with lovely little treats at your wedding reception.

“Sweetness and Honey Bakery was absolutely amazing! We had a mini dessert assortment of cookies, chocolate-covered strawberries, and their specialty macarons, along with a small vintage heart-shaped wedding cake for cutting purposes. Every single thing was absolutely delicious! I can tell you our guests loved the desserts because the dessert table was more than ¾ gone before cocktail hour had even ended, and before the dessert bar was “officially” opened! Kerri was incredibly communicative and an absolute breeze to work with throughout the entire process. Our desserts, especially the beautiful color palette of the macarons, perfectly matched our vision and looked just as amazing as they tasted. We truly couldn’t have been happier with everything! They helped to make our special day extra sweet! I couldn’t recommend Sweetness and Honey Bakery more highly for all of your wedding dessert needs!”

I’m Moe, the photographer behind Weddings by Moe in Boston. I photograph weddings, elopements, surprise proposals, and engagement sessions for couples who want natural photos without feeling like they’re performing for the camera. My approach is relaxed and personal: gentle direction when you need it, space to enjoy the moment, and attention to the people who matter most. Whether you’re planning an intimate ceremony in Cambridge or a full wedding celebration, you’ll work directly with me from your first message through your final gallery

“We had such a great experience working with Moe and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a Boston wedding or engagement photographer. He did a couples photoshoot for us, and one of the things that really stood out was how natural and easy he made the entire session feel. He has a great ability to capture genuine emotion without the photos feeling overly posed or staged, which was really important to us. We also included our dog, Ted, in the shoot, and Moe was incredibly patient and skilled at getting his attention and capturing those moments perfectly. Anyone who has tried to photograph a puppy knows how impressive that is. The final photos were beautiful, authentic, and exactly what we were hoping for. If you’re looking for a photographer for engagement photos, a couples session, or a wedding in the Boston area, Moe is a fantastic choice.”

“We cannot recommend East Coast Soul (Philly International group) enough! They played our ceremony, cocktail hour, and tented reception, and they kept the energy flowing seamlessly from one moment to the next. Communication leading up to the weekend was excellent, and the band went above and beyond by learning a few special songs for us—including a cultural line dance—which they played beautifully. Our guests were on the dance floor all night and are still raving about how incredible the band was. What impressed us most was how they struck the perfect balance: the music felt like a full, professional set, yet it never overshadowed the wedding itself. The focus stayed on the dance floor and the celebration, not just the stage. The sound mixing was also spot-on: lively and energetic without being overpowering, so people could still enjoy conversation when they stepped away from the dancing. East Coast Soul absolutely made our wedding unforgettable. If you’re considering them, especially the Philly International group, don’t hesitate, they’re phenomenal.”

We can't recommend Lumière Photography highly enough to any couple looking for a photographer who cares about getting it right.”

“We feel beyond lucky to have chosen Hampshire House to celebrate the most important day of our lives. From the very first photo I saw of the venue, I instantly fell in love.I could immediately envision everyone we love gathered in that warm, elegant space, celebrating together in a way that felt both intimate and timeless. It perfectly captured the spirit of what we dreamed for our wedding: a meaningful gathering with family, friends, and mentors. From the beginning of our planning journey, Victoria was truly exceptional. Her responsiveness was lightning-fast (even when I packed a dozen questions into a single email!), and she was consistently calm, cheerful, and organized through the often chaotic planning process. I’ll never forget how welcomed we felt when we met her in person for the first time at our tasting. Her kindness, professionalism, and flexibility gave me instant peace of mind that everything on the big day would be taken care of—and it was, and more. Victoria went above and beyond to accommodate every one of our needs, no matter how small, and her quiet support meant everything when other parts of the planning felt unpredictable. She took detailed notes, followed through on every ask, and always made me feel like our wedding truly mattered to her. On the wedding day itself, Victoria, Lindsay, and Elissa (apologies if I spelled any names wrong!) were absolute stars. These three incredible women were everywhere—effortlessly managing logistics, adjusting details on the fly, and doing it all with radiant smiles. They handled so many things I could see—setting up our escort card table to look pristine, subtly hiding visual clutter to keep the space beautiful, helping adjust the tone of the pianist’s music to match the mood, even helping us with tech like setting up my phone for the playlist—and I’m sure there were dozens more things they did that we didn’t even notice. That’s the thing about the team at Hampshire House: they care as deeply and attentively as we did. They treated our wedding as something truly meaningful, not just another event on the calendar. Every detail was cared for, not just the obvious ones, but even the ones we didn’t know to think about. Hampshire House made us feel so seen, so supported, and so celebrated. We will remember their kindness, effort, and magic forever:)”

Awarded Best of Zola
“Business Time was absolutely fantastic to work with for our wedding! From our very first call, their communication was easy, quick, and personable. They really took the time to understand our vision and preferences. On the day of, they fed off the energy of the crowd and kept the dance floor packed all night with their fun, musically talented performance that spanned all generations. One of the highlights was when they split my father-daughter dance, playing a sweet song for the first half and then transitioning into our favorite upbeat song "All Star" by Smashmouth, which got the whole wedding up and dancing. We couldn't have asked for a better band to make our special day so memorable.The morning after so many guests came up to us raving about how fun they had dancing and singing. From the B52’s Love Shack, Zombie by Cranberries, to Chapelle Roan Pink Pony club- Business Time absolutely rocked it. Not to mention the acoustics for the ceremony made my husband cry. They truly have such talent on all ends. Cannot not recommend them enough, they made our wedding so memorable.”

I think there’s a real absence of authenticity in today’s world. Everywhere we look, people are polishing themselves into a perfect image for the internet. But that’s not where the beauty is. The beauty lives in the real moments — the big, loud, messy, emotional, human ones you can’t stage or script. That’s what I chase. Since 2016, I’ve been documenting weddings for couples who want to feel present, relaxed, and fully themselves. I gravitate toward the candid, the unplanned, the way a glance turns into laughter and a quiet moment becomes unforgettable.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Steve was enthusiastic, kind, creative, and flexible with day of changes to our schedule of events. I hate having my photo taken and he put me at ease immediately. I love the photos he took of the ceremony and the family, but my absolute favorite were the candid photos from the dance floor. He was always present, but never obvious, and that allowed for some really joyful and organic shots. The meetings with Steve were helpful in communicating our vision and needs, and he was so responsive! From the beginning of our time working together on engagement photos all the way through to the end of the wedding and sharing of the album, he was professional, fun, and efficient. I can not recommend him highly enough!”
