PK and the Mighty Seven 
Rating: 5.0 (34 reviews)
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Newton Center, MA

PK and the Mighty Seven is a 9-piece powerhouse band built on a foundation of 10+ years performing weddings as a consistent group. Every horn blast, vocal harmony, and rhythm is sharpened by a decade of musical chemistry. We began with a shared love for high-energy soul and funk and an initial Jamiroquai tribute gig, but today we bring that same authentic energy to everything from timeless classics to modern hits. With world-class vocals and a 3-piece horn section, we deliver a wall-to-wall rallying cry to the dance floor that won't be ignored.

Awarded Best of Zola
PK and the Mighty Seven was THEE best band for our wedding. We had initially seen them play at porchfest and have gone back to see them each year since. They always draw a massive crowd and they kill it every time. For our wedding we considered getting a DJ for a second but boy are we glad we didn’t. PK brought the heat and they worth every penny. Leading up to the wedding, Matt was great to work with. We had a few calls prior to the wedding to plan songs, and we were able to give some definite YESs and NOs based on their extensive song list. They have great Motown, funk, and pop classics on their list, but they also did fantastic renditions of our pop-punk and ska requests. Matt was super responsive and coordinated with the venue about their logistics. During the wedding itself they brought fantastic energy, and know how to read a room. As (amateur) musicians, they even let us come up to play a song with them which was the most special moment and topped everything off. All around, 11 out of 10. Great to work with, professional, and absolutely rock!

Symula Media Group was an absolute joy to work with for our engagement session ! From the very beginning Jen was incredibly friendly, timely, and personable in her communication. Her passion, creativity and experience shone through in the beautiful photos she captured of us that day. Jen worked with us through a heatwave in the north end of boston and captured the perfect shots with plenty of poses, location changes, and original ideas that really reflected the personality of my fiancé and I.

We came to Julian on the recommendation of our photographer, as we were doing an elopement without guests, and we wanted funky, bold, and nontraditional vibes for our queer wedding. Despite being the first customers of the Althea A La Carte experience, we were impressed with how easy it was to choose which pieces we wanted. We ended up going with some smaller vases, hair pieces, and boutonnieres. Julian was also willing to use some mushroom propagation vases we found, and it was very easy to drop them off ahead of time. We felt like Julian perfectly understood our vision, and his touch made our wedding day so much more our own. Overall, we had a great time working with Julian, and would highly recommend them for any future events, large or small!

DJ Buono & DJ Tavo & crew were absolutely incredible!! As a news reporter, I can appreciate producing a SHOW and that is exactly what they put on! This was SO much MORE than a great wedding!! From the first phone call, DJ Tavo's excitement and attention to detail was top tier. DJ Buono helped sculpt our ENTIRE reception & even gave us the idea to have dinner become more of a performance with our violinist. They immediately welcomed her into the mix and it made for the BEST time!! You would have thought she worked with them nightly. This was an elegant night out in Boston meets IBIZA!! We could barely sit still to eat because we were all dancing in our seats!! I have never seen guests rush the dance floor like this. (& I've once been to 13 weddings in a single year) To the point, we had to tell some of them to sit down so we could do parent dances!! People literally could not wait to start dancing/celebrating!! We cannot believe this was our WEDDING!!! & it wouldn't have been the same without Black Diamond Event Production! People are still messaging us to say this was the best wedding they've ever been to! Not only is this team so talented that it is almost out of this world, they are also good people. People you'd want sitting at your table, people you'd want in your corner, and people you will want to keep in touch with forever. DJ Tavo sent us our dinner and reception mixes as they played the night of our wedding almost immediately. Which means we can keep reliving this night!! It was such a sweet surprise. We will never forget this & will be recommending them to all of our friends and family. We will scream it from the top of Boston's Prudential Center (where our reception was) if we have to! Not to mention, this was the FIRST ever full wedding reception up there (with this guest count) and they took on the challenge with EASE!! Book Black Diamond Event Production!! You won't regret it!!! PS: for the brides (like me) who fear a cheesy "prom" wedding, THIS IS YOUR TEAM!!! because they bring the CLASSIEST vibes and truly care about YOUR vision!! Pictures by: Dampolo Photography

For over a decade I have been able to work with some of the best in the beauty industry during my time at MAC Cosmetics & as a freelance artist, which has helped me perfect my craft. Not only as a Makeup Artist, but also as a licensed Esthetician- making women feel beautiful in the skin they are in, especially for their big day, has always been my top priority!

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment I reached out to Johanna for a wedding makeup inquiry, she was so kind and had such good energy. I found her on Instagram through other brides who had hired her and I absolutely loved her work. Booking was easy, the contract was very straight forward, and I was so excited that she was available for our wedding! She came to my house for my trial, which was so convenient. Trial makeup was beautiful but she also knew exactly what we would change up on wedding day and was very honest and open with her thoughts and with asking for my opinion, which I appreciated so much. On wedding day, it felt like she was just one of the girls, along with her amazing assistant for our 10-person service. Her vibe, energy, and genuine appreciation for getting to do our makeup was so felt. Everyone’s makeup came out so beautifully and they were all so happy! Our group ranged from mid 20-30 year olds, 50-60 year olds, and my Nana in her 80’s - which just shows how dedicated to her craft she is and how diverse her skills are. Johanna is truly incredible at what she does and I cannot recommend her enough!!

First off, if you are debating hiring a coordinator or planner look no further. Cassie is THE best!! We hired Cassie just a few months before our big day after having some communication issues with our venues coordinators, and from the moment she joined, she went above and beyond to make everything perfect. She truly made our wedding stress-free and magical, handling every detail with incredible care. Cassie attended our final details meeting the day before the wedding, and our entire wedding party was blown away by her professionalism and calm demeanor. She guided the rehearsal effortlessly, making sure we were all on the same page, which made the big day run smoothly. On the wedding day, Cassie handled everything seamlessly. She helped with the little things, like holding my flowers and managing my dress during our first look. She coordinated with all of our vendors, set up our entire tent before the wedding, and even took care of the breakdown so we could just pick everything up the next day. We had some communication issues with our venue leading up to the wedding, but Cassie stepped in and resolved all of the details without us having to worry about a thing. If anything went wrong on the day of, we had no idea—she handled it all behind the scenes, she was so so awesome! Knowing she had it all under control gave us the peace of mind to fully enjoy our day. What truly touched us were the thoughtful extras. Cassie took photos and videos on her phone throughout the day, capturing moments and details we didn’t even think to ask for. Having those memories in addition to our photographers photos meant so much to us!! (I attached just a few for reference) Her ability to manage every detail flawlessly amazed me! Cassie truly is a miracle worker, a problem-solver, and a memory-maker all in one! Everyone loved her so much! I don’t know how we got so lucky!

We hired DJ El Sid for our August 9th, 2025 wedding, and our reception was an absolute banger. Sid is super talented and is great at reading the crowd likely because he still actively DJs at clubs which is exactly what we were looking for. He had everyone on their feet dancing from our younger crowd of friends and cousins to our older family and friends. You know it’s a good party when you have a dachshund do the limbo and the men’s ties transfer to their head haha. We got SO many compliments on the DJ from our guests! Additionally, Sid did a fantastic job with the ceremony and grand entrances and dances, and MCing. We had 2-3 planning meetings with him via Zoom before the wedding, which were super helpful to get to know each other, ask questions, and share our music tastes and wishes. Fusion function also had an app where we could upload our songs for the ceremony, cocktail hour, entrances, first dances, and reception to keep everything organized and give Sid a vibe for our music style. Our wedding was an epic party to remember thanks to DJ El Sid!

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I hired Randall to serve as our photographer for our wedding last summer. In short, Randall did a wonderful job. From the first call he was very kind and relaxed, which we really appreciated given how stressful the wedding planning process can be at times. We selected his “Notting Hill” package, which we loved because it included not only wedding photography, but also an engagement photoshoot, a guestbook based on the engagement photoshoot, and a wedding photo album (with parent copies). The engagement photoshoot came out beautifully; we tried to time it to coincide with the foliage peaking, and Randall was extremely patient and flexible with us as we tried to plan for and work around the unpredictable Boston fall weather. The engagement photoshoot itself also came out great; even though neither my husband nor I had experience getting our picture taken in this type of setting, Randall made us feel very comfortable and had excellent ideas to take advantage of the scenery. We loved the photos so much we had trouble choosing which to use for our save the date cards. During the weeks leading up to the wedding, Randall was very organized and responsive, and stayed in close touch with us to discuss different logistics and plans related to coordinating with the videographers, timing, portraits with family members, and sunset photos, etc. On the wedding day itself, Randall kept us very calm and relaxed throughout the day, worked seamlessly with the videographers, and also took many amazing photographs that made great use of the colors and light, showed his impressive creative vision, and beautifully captured every part of the day. We were so delighted to see all the photographs a few months after the wedding, and to later work with Randall on a photo album which provides a tangible pictorial summary of our day (in fact, we also had trouble choosing what should go into the album because there were also so many great pictures to choose from). Finally, in addition to our wedding reception last summer, Randall also served as a photographer for our legal city hall wedding last winter, and similarly did an excellent job with that too. In short, we had a terrific experience working with Randall and feel very lucky to have been able to work with him as our wedding photographer.

We put a lot of trust in her since we know nothing about florals, shared some inspiration, and she ran with it and exceeded every expectation.

From our first conversation with Ashley in the sales office, we knew Devens Common Center was the right choice for our wedding. She was with us every step of the way, answering our questions quickly and making sure we felt supported throughout the planning process. The venue itself is stunning—elegant and beautiful with the perfect atmosphere for our celebration. On the day of the wedding, Peter coordinated everything flawlessly and kept things running smoothly from start to finish. The entire team was organized and professional, and we couldn't have asked for better service. Devens Common Center made our special day unforgettable, and we highly recommend them to any couple looking for a top-notch venue.

We could not recommend A Natural Arrangement more for wedding florals! We went into the wedding planning process with more questions than answers, and Jessica helped us along every step of the way. She worked within our budget to make our vision come to life. The flowers were stunning, and Jessica was a pleasure to work with. She was prompt with communication and so helpful the day of the wedding. Our friends and family can’t stop talking about how beautiful the florals were and pictures can’t even do them justice.

Lizzie's Bakery 
Rating: 5.0 (14 reviews)
  • Cakes & desserts
  • Starts at $10 per serving
  • Serves Newton Center, MA

I specialize in custom wedding cakes and party cakes! I'm 100% self-taught and have been decorating cakes since 2016! I have 2 kids and I love celebrating life's biggest events with cake is my passion!

Lizzie made our wedding cake for our August 2026 wedding, and it was truly one of the highlights of the weekend. We ordered the cake tasting box ahead of time, and we turned it into a full family event—everyone sampled, debated, and ranked their favorites. It made the whole process so personal and fun. We ultimately chose the Vanilla Latte cake with Espresso Buttercream, and it was absolutely delicious—rich, balanced, and not overly sweet. We served slices to each guest during the band break, and so many people told us it was the best wedding cake they’d ever had. We’re already looking forward to ordering the same flavor for anniversaries in the years to come.

I come from a fashion photography background and now happily spend my time in the beautifully slow world of weddings. After living abroad for many years, I’ve returned to the States. Travel has always been part of my life, whether for fashion or weddings, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our engagement photos to our wedding day, Jaffer had us feeling at ease and comfortable. Neither of us likes having our picture taken, but it was very comfortable working with him. Both of our families raved about how fun and easy Jaffer was to work with after the big day, and we loved all of our pictures. Genuinely the most easy-going, fun photographer who has interesting shots planned and will guide you to something that is comfortable and representative of you as a couple or family. Jaffer has incredible listening skills and is everything you would want in a wedding photographer. I would definitely work with him again for other photography needs, and would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat!
