I had the pleasure of working with Hope Lodge Venue recently as a wedding photographer and I can say they are a fantastic choice . Their communication style is incredibly responsive, helpful, and enthusiastic - they go above and beyond to ensure every detail is taken care of. Great quality of work for a the value ; the venue is open, clean, bright, and airy, creating the perfect atmosphere for a wedding or big event . One memorable example was when the staff dressed up along with the Gatsby-themed wedding, truly immersing themselves in the couple's vision. My only suggestion would be for them to potentially expand their parking area in the future, but overall, Hope Lodge Venue is an excellent option for couples seeking a beautiful, well-managed wedding venue and one they could decorate and make their own.

When searching for a venue, we were looking for an industrial aesthetic with the flexibility to use our own vendors, and Garage B checked all the boxes. We absolutely loved this space. It’s the perfect blank canvas for any occasion, and we appreciated the freedom to incorporate multiple unique vendors. For our wedding, we had a taco stand, an ice cream truck, a caricature artist, and a raw bar—all of which made for a memorable experience. What stood out most was the ability to blend Asian traditions with a modern twist, creating a day that truly reflected us. A unique feature of Garage B is the garage doors, which you can utilize creatively to enhance the event's flow and aesthetic. Jenna was wonderful to work with—she was highly responsive, supportive, and instrumental in bringing our vision to life. The only small challenge was our guest count. We were the first to host 200 guests in the space, which created an intimate and romantic atmosphere, but guests were seated quite close together. For future events, I would recommend a guest count closer to 150-180 for a bit more breathing room. Despite this, everything came together beautifully, and we had an incredible wedding day. Thank you to the team at Garage B for helping us create such a special event!

My wife and I had our wedding at Mothership in the early Spring, and everything about the experience was top notch! Their Events Manager, Kelly, was one of the most organized, communicative and professional people I've ever worked with. From food options to set up and decorations, the Mothership team went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Their willingness to accommodate the many guests with varying dietary restrictions was astounding, and EVERYTHING was delicious. They even made our wedding cake plus an array of gluten free and vegan desserts. The space was perfect and was able to comfortably fit our guests for dinner to dancing. They converted their day-time cafe space into the most amazing dance floor for us and our DJ. All in all, this team truly made our special day PERFECT, and I will forever be recommending them to all of our friends and family!!

A Dream Wedding at Margeaux Supper Parlor We hosted our engagement party turned wedding at Margeaux Supper Parlor, and it was pure magic. From the moment we stepped inside, we were blown away by the beauty of the space - especially the bar, which created the most stunning backdrop for photos we’ll cherish forever. Rebekah, the owner, and her incredible team thought of everything. From a custom, dairy-free menu (which was so important to me) to specialty passed cocktails and thoughtful service throughout, not a single detail was missed. The private oasis room was the perfect retreat for a quiet moment together during the celebration and added such a personal touch to the evening. And yes, we even sabered champagne! Whether it’s a bridal shower, engagement party, or wedding, we can’t recommend Margeaux enough. It’s a truly special place run by truly special people.

Dearly Studio is a courthouse alternative for couples who want a no-fuss ceremony that's still personal, elegant and fun. The concept for Dearly Studio is novel, but not new — plenty of little chapels exist outside Las Vegas, and giddy couples have been skipping over to their local courthouse since forever.

Cookie cutter weddings are OUT, friends. Time for big feelings, small weddings and a celebration that’s uniquely yours.

The moment that I saw the ceremony package details for “The Quickie” I knew it was perfect for myself and my partner. It was exactly what we were looking for! We needed to plan far in advance due to important guests coming from out of town, and Jusmine graciously accommodated that request. It was a seamless process, from booking the day and time, to filling out our script questionnaire, to the week of the ceremony, and finally the day of! Jusmine replied to all communication in a timely, professional, friendly, and helpful way. I especially appreciated the detailed information about parking and locating the venue that she was able to provide. Jusmine composed a script for the ceremony and sent it to me about a month beforehand with the ability to request any changes. Even though we had never met, it felt as though Jusmine really understood the relationship that my partner and I have and she captured our love in words beautifully. She also included the important details, like when we would have the rings brought up. On the big day, we were invited into the studio right on time. Jusmine had a very welcoming and calming presence and helped us all feel at ease right away. She gave us an opportunity to take pictures together before the ceremony, and helped to capture all six of us on our own phones. The ceremony itself went as planned. After we were officially married, Jusmine took a polaroid picture of us for our keepsake and then let us all mingle and hug and take more pictures! We also had a ketubah that we asked Jusmine to sign as our officiant and she had a beautiful marble table to lay it out on. When it was time to leave, we made sure that Jusmine had our marriage certificate to fill out. Later that day, she sent an email to confirm that she had sent it to our town hall and provided the USPS tracking number. I cannot say enough good things about Dearly Studio as a venue, and Jusmine as a Justice of the Peace. It is clear that she is passionate about helping couples to unite through a wonderful and memorable day!

We cannot recommend Pagu highly enough for your wedding or event. From the very first email, they were unlike any of the venues we had reached out to. Overall, Pagu is flexible, which not only made wedding planning MUCH less stressful, but it made our wedding personal to us. Every time we had a question, they had an answer and a solution. You’re not messing around with rentals for plates, chairs, tables, linens or tons of decor. The space is beautiful and already functions so well as a restaurant, allowing you to just be their guest on your wedding day. The FOOD! Multiple guests came up to us and said it was the best wedding food they had ever had. Everything was hot, fresh, aesthetically plated and delicious. The family style sharing was relaxed, fun and nobody had to wait in line. The cake was so light and beautifully decorated. Day-of, what really stood out was the exceptional service and kindness we received from the entire team at Pagu. Everyone who works there was so positive, accommodating, and thoughtful. When I was “hiding” before the ceremony, the team delivered an entire tea/coffee service with some of the food to make sure I got something to eat! When we got back to our hotel, we found a portion of each dish in our fridge, just because they heard we hadn’t finished our second course or dessert while we were socializing. It was above and beyond thoughtful! Beyond taking extremely good care of us, all of our guests commented that it was one of the most relaxing weddings because the Pagu team thought of everything. At most weddings, there’s not a server checking in with you about your allergies, restrictions, and if you would like a drink. Since Pagu is a restaurant, you get outstanding restaurant-quality service. They even made a last minute, individual substitution for a new dietary restriction on the spot, and allowed that guest to enjoy the food, too! Another huge bonus was there was almost no bar line, since they’re used to making drinks for this many people! Other highlights of our experience include doing the cocktail creation session with Jimmy. We aren’t big drinkers, so we almost didn’t do this, but we are so glad we did - it was a blast, and the guests loved the personal cocktails. We highly recommend it! The space is gorgeous, the people are a dream, and the food was outstanding. Amanda (the venue coordinator/manager) was so easy to work with and on top of everything. Even our very traditional families (who were very skeptical when we said we were getting married at a restaurant) said afterwards it was one of the best weddings they’d been to.

We held our wedding reception at the Multicultural Arts Center in Cambridge, and it was a beautiful venue to host our event. The space was a perfect size for our event with 125 guests, and the ceiling is a showstopper. The building is right on the small city park, Centanni Park, which is such a nice little green space in East Cambridge. The staff was friendly and easy to work with and helped us to create our dream reception. One thing to keep in mind when picking this venue is that you have to select from a list of preferred vendors for catering, and they will need to rent all of the plates, cutlery, glassware, catering supplies etc since the venue does not provide these items. Their list of caterers to choose from is a great list, but the extra cost of these rentals should be remembered when budgeting your event.

The Leslie Lindsey Chapel at Emmanuel Church was the perfect ceremony spot for our winter wedding. We knew we were in amazing hands from the moment we met Robb, the events coordinator. He was extremely friendly, accommodating, and quick to respond to any questions or requests we had. The historic chapel provided a beautiful, cozy, and intimate setting for our special day, and we were thrilled to be able to bring in our own officiant, music, and decor as many traditional churches don't typically allow this! The location was also incredibly convenient, right in the heart of Boston on Newbury Street and steps away from our reception at Rochambeau. We couldn't be happier to have chosen this venue and we highly recommend the chapel to any couple looking for an easy, unforgettable ceremony. 100000/10 experience!
