Joseph and Erika truly MADE our wedding. Music was one of my big things to nail for the day and I am SO GLAD I found and chose these two. Their communication style was efficient, kind, personable, accommodating, and responsive, and the quality of their work was nothing short of talented, unique, perfect, and passionate. They allowed my bridesmaid to sing the first dance/acoustic singalong at the end, had the crowd BUMPING all night but especially during their last performance. They also curated the folk music of my dreams during cocktail hour. As an aside, I've been to so many weddings with microphone issues during vows and the sound systems and microphone settings were also super on point. It's a small detail but a great one to trust to get right! Do yourself a HUGE favor and book them- my guests and I will never stop raving about them!!

She sent me sneak peaks shortly after my wedding and every pic I swiped through would be even better than the last. I couldn’t be more happy with how they came out.

She has such a gift, not just with her incredible talent, but with the energy she brings into a room. The whole morning felt so seamless, full of laughter and love. When I looked in the mirror, I genuinely got emotional because I still looked like me, just the most radiant, confident version of myself. My makeup lasted perfectly all day and night, and I got so many compliments, but more than that, I felt beautiful. I’ll never forget how she made me feel.

I've never worked with a DJ as good as Drew and his crew. Drew had sent me an email a few weeks before the couples wedding with the reception timeline (a first) and kept me up-to-date with any last minute changes the day of. It is clear by working with Drew how much he loves his job and how much he cares about the couples he works with. He got the crowd going, the dance floor was always packed and he invited the couple up to DJ booth which was so fun for them and also amazing for pictures.

Everything about Fusion Function was great. Sidney gave us personalized attention in our initial planning meeting and selected the perfect DJ (DJ Lavish) for our event. They use a comprehensive planning tool where you can link or input all the songs you want to play, but more importantly to us, DJ Lavish listened to what kind of vibes we wanted at each stage of the wedding and made sure to achieve it. Our guests had the best time on the dance floor! We also added on the 360 photo video, as well as a more classic open-air photo booth, both of which everyone loved.

Being able to have Antonia do my make up was easy and so comfortable. I wasn't prepared with any of my own make up and being a Black Woman I was worried there wouldn't be the right colors. Antonia blended up some foundation and got an exact color match! I also HATE false lashes, BUT she put them on with such ease I couldn't even tell I was wearing them! Professionalism was glamorous just like my make up! Highly recommend and would book again! 100/10

Cassie was incredible to work with, my wedding day couldn’t have been pulled off without her!!! I had a Cape wedding with a handful of moving parts as opposed to everything happening in one place— from getting ready offsite in rental houses, church ceremony, coffee hour in between to fill time, then cocktail hour/reception at the venue— Cassie made the day absolutely seamless!! I also had a few vendors who this was their first time working at my venue and everything went perfect!! Asides from how talented she is, seeing her warm smile on your wedding day is something I recommend for every bride! Thank you so much Cassie!

Where do I even begin? Working with Justina was absolutely amazing. Photography was incredibly important to me when it came to my wedding. I knew I needed someone unique and in touch with their creativity, while also being easy-going and could make myself and my partner comfortable in front of the camera. Justina met all of these marks and then some. From my first phone call with her up until our big day, her chill vibe and take-charge nature was everything we could’ve wanted. And on top of that, her photos are absolutely amazing. We worked with her for our engagement session, as well as our wedding day, and the photos are above and beyond what we could’ve dreamed of. We will cherish them forever, and I am so grateful. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. The talent speaks for itself, but I will still tell anyone who will listen about how much I love her work. Thank you so much for everything, Justina.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our daughter just celebrated her wedding this past weekend at the Kimpton Marlowe, and I can't imagine a more perfect experience! We visited quite a few venues that we loved, but once we found KM and Rachel, we knew we had found our place. I'm not sure where to begin! The planning process was never stressful thanks to Rachel's patience, professionalism and organizational skills. Our daughter lives out of state, and I can only imagine the insane amount of emails that flew back and forth between her and Rachel! She kept us all calm, and we were always confident that the day would be perfect because of her extraordinary efforts. The venue itself has everything a bridal party could want. It's in an accessible location for out of state visitors to explore Boston and Cambridge. The staff are all warm, friendly and eager to help with anything. The price is very reasonable; we had ruled out Boston/Cambridge because of our budget, but KM turned out to be right on target. There is convenient parking on site. We were offered a block of rooms in the hotel for an amazingly good price, so that our guests didn't have to worry about driving after a big party! The food was exceptional, from appetizers to dinner and even late night snacks of pizza, cookies and milk! The reception room was gorgeous and is very easy to work with because of the neutral colors. I think one of our favorite parts was that we had the entire second floor of the hotel to ourselves! The ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and even a room for the bride to retreat when she needed to change was all included. The younger guests danced until the very end, and the "older" parents and guests found a quiet spot to hang out in the lobby area outside of the reception hall, filled with comfortable sofas, chairs and tables. All who attended were happy with the many choices to party, relax and mingle. In my opinion, KM and Rachel are a still a hidden gem in the greater Boston area. I hope this review helps to get the word out that they are the place to go if you are looking for an affordable option with fabulous spaces, delicious food and most of all, an event planner who puts her heart and soul into everything she does. Thank you, KM and Rachel! 3

Natural Arrangements was a recommended vendor from my wedding venue just outside Boston, and I'm so glad I went with them! As someone who's worked in the wedding industry, I wanted less traditional flowers and they really came through. I wasn't the most decisive person as far as decor, so with their questions and suggestions, they helped narrow things down and find the best option. They were very responsive, easy to work with, and I appreciate all their work. I only wish I got to enjoy the bouquets for longer and not leave town so soon after the wedding!

Had the best experience having our wedding at Pagu! From start to finish, it was great working with the team, Chris & Amanda! We emailed countless questions leading up to the day and they were always great in getting things answered and problem solving as needed. They have worked on many weddings and it shows why people continue to choose them. We had a wedding of about 60 guests and the space had more than enough room. We were able to utilize the patio space as well to get air when needed and so it was great to be able to spread out so comfortably. They could easily handle a larger wedding though as we originally were looking at higher numbers when we started. While your wedding day is overwhelming and you don't often get time to eat, the team made sure to bring us food on their upstairs balcony where we could hide out after our ceremony to eat and get a little quiet time away from guests. They also made sure to package anything we didn't eat (and the many leftover desserts that I overordered on from an outside source) for us to pick up the next day. We were so grateful for this and the food was still great as leftovers--truly! Their service is truly unmatched and they also are great in handling food restrictions/allergies--guests specifically noted this! They brought out smaller portions for those guests when needed so they still had enough options. We are still getting compliments on the food and drinks as well as atmosphere. We can't wait to celebrate many anniversaries eating dinner here too as the food is what absolutely sold us. We especially enjoyed getting to make our own cocktails which guests also raved about.

Tracy was absolutely incredible! We went with a classic Cape Cod theme, and she completely understood the assignment from the very beginning. The arrangements were elegant, coastal, and timeless—better than anything I could have imagined. She transformed our tent into something magical, especially at night with the soft glow of candles woven beautifully throughout the space. The entire process was seamless. She stayed in constant communication, checked in often, and even sent photos of the flowers ahead of time so we knew exactly what to expect. Her professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail made our day feel truly special. I can’t recommend her enough!

Wei Yuh was hired for the task of organizing a lovely and elegant Victorian Romance themed wedding rehearsal dinner at the Omni Parker Hotel on October 24, 2025. Following the dinner, a private Ghost Tour of Boston also took place for the wedding party, and the timing for these events was crucial. She did so professionally, with good communication with myself, the hotel staff, and the florist. From lace table runners to floating candles, everything was perfect when we arrived. Wei Yuh also communicated well with our guests concerning the day’s itinerary, suggestions for appropriate dress (since the ghost tour could be a bit chilly), and handled special needs requests with ease. She took charge of scheduling gift presentations and toasts between courses, tweaking them as needed to meet our schedule. I couldn't be happier with her services and I appreciate the work she put forth to make this event a very special evening!
