Awarded Best of Zola
Ergin was absolutely fantastic to work with on my surprise proposal. It was clear early on that Ergin is an expert when it comes to organizing, setup and capturing the moment. He is thorough, detail oriented, and I felt confident from our first messages that I could trust him to come through. He has a very positive light hearted energy that was perfect for the moment. Ergin captured the moment but gave us photos we will have for the rest of our life. I had reached out to a few photographers, but immediately felt lucky that I ended up going with Ergin .

  • Beauty professional
  • Serves Newtonville, MA

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!!

They did bilingual introductions so both families could be included in on the fun. The music was the perfect mix of party/spanish music which is exactly what we were looking for. We even had guests coming up to us saying that they loved our DJ! We also had a unplanned, surprise speech from the mother of the groom in Spanish that DJ Tavo translated to English on the spot.

Even though it was a cutting cake, we did have our closest family try some. They enjoyed it so much that they asked for more to take home.

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.

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!

The cakes were absolutely delicious and beautifully presented as a true work of art. As someone who loves cake, Lizzie's exceeded all of my expectations and was the perfect sweet touch to our special day. I would highly recommend them to any couple looking for exceptional quality and service for their wedding desserts!! Lizzie is the best!!

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

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.

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!

Ephemirus was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding flowers. Cailla was always quick, consistent, and thoughtful throughout the entire process. The quality of her work was creative, absolutely gorgeous, and exactly what we were looking for. She hand-delivered our beautiful bouquets and boutonnieres on the day of our wedding, and was always prompt in responding to any questions we had. We were thrilled with how everything turned out and would highly recommend Ephemirus to any couple planning their special day.
