I can’t recommend Johnny enough! I fell in love with his style on Instagram and my pictures did not disappoint, they are exactly what I wanted. What’s more, he was so helpful on the wedding day! He genuinely made the day better and easier for me. Through out the day I was thinking how glad I was that I chose him and that was even before seeing how great the pictures turned out! I will be genuinely recommending him to everyone I know!

The Boylston Rooms 
Rating: 5.0 (45 reviews)
Easthampton, MA
  • Venue
  • Up to 200 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Outdoor & indoor
  • Starts at $6,600

Founded in 1814, The West Boylston Company was a large textile manufacturer in West Boylston, MA. At the turn of the century the company faced a crisis: the site of their mill would be flooded to form the Wachusett Reservoir. Instead of abandoning the mill, the company dismantled it brick by brick and shipped it to its new home in Easthampton, where it was rebuilt on the banks of the Lower Mill Pond. Now, a century later, The Boylston Rooms retains the integrity of the 1814 original mill in every brick and beam. Our rental includes planners and decor at no added cost. Whatever your style, with over 140 pieces of decor, if you can picture it in the space, we can make it happen.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Multiple event spaces
  • Allows pets
  • Provides catering services

  • Not for you if you are looking for something nontraditional

Awarded Best of Zola
I could not say enough good things about this venue. We're SO glad we decided to get married at The Boylston Rooms! The pictures show for themselves how beautiful the venue (and surrounding areas for photography) are, but the staff are what make this place extra special. From start to finish, everyone we worked with was nothing but professional. They were clear and timely communicators, helped troubleshoot things during the planning process, and came with loads of wedding wisdom that helped set us up for success on the big day. When the big day came, I also appreciated how often their staff checked in - even to make sure I was eating (it's the small things!) - and were ready to jump into support anywhere. A special shout out to Myles, who played a supporting role during our wedding portraits, helping me to keep my very long veil under control! A few other things I'll mention: - Their storage room filled with decor you can borrow is SO helpful. Less that you need to buy (and potentially waste post-wedding) and can even make decision-making easier when there are 1,000 versions of the same item online. - Their wedding suites are great to have available too. Obviously for getting ready, but it's also a nice reprieve if you need a quiet moment during the reception. - The Boylston Rooms only works with one caterer, Myer's Catering. Our guests are STILL raving about the food. (There's more flexibility with other vendors). - The Boylston Rooms also owns/is affiliated with The Wedding Day Trolley, which we used to transport our guests to/from the hotel. My partner and I also took some super fun photos inside of the trolley!

Awarded Best of Zola
One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was choosing vendors who are great people with passion, care, and great energy. DJ Kevin is all of the above - the vibes were immaculate. My husband is a musician so music was one of the most important aspects of the wedding for him and DJ Kevin met his high standards. Leading up to the wedding, Kevin was informative, communicative, and has the type of personality that helps melt the stress away (and I couldn't have appreciated that more in the last week before the wedding!). He was also adaptable without judgement which is sometimes in short supply in the wedding industry but goes a long, long way in my book. For the wedding, we created playlists for the different sections of the wedding, and Kevin knew just how to make our vision come to life --playing the right songs at just the right time and helping the wedding flow seamlessly. He also helped curate the perfect mood for dancing with his light design, and his new Photo Booth add on gave our guests an endless source of enjoyment when they needed to catch their breath off the dance floor. (And even more enjoyment for us when we got to see all the pictures and gifs people took after the wedding!). And if all that wasn't enough already, he even volunteered to take pictures during our sparkler exit and captured one of my favorite pictures of the whole day! If I ever needed to plan a big event again in the future, the choice for DJ is already made.

Hi, I'm Danny! My passion is to capture couples & their love story in a timeless way. I like to describe my style as a fusion between story-telling & editorial. I lean into true-to-life colors with a warm ambience and posing that's timeless but also interwoven with an editorial flare that's unique, artistic, and stylish. I also love incorporating story-telling stills that involve movement rather than a bunch of photos that feel "stiff" or overly posed. Story-telling moments bring wedding galleries life! I’d love the opportunity to connect with you, and hear more about your wedding vision!!

Embark Films was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication was quick, clear, and incredibly helpful, which made the entire planning process feel so much easier and stress-free. On our wedding day, the team was absolutely amazing. They were professional, creative, and so easy to work with that everything felt natural and effortless. They captured all the big moments and the little in-between ones that we didn’t even realize were happening. At times we even forgot the cameras were there, which made everything feel so genuine. When we finally watched our wedding film, we were honestly blown away. It brought us right back to the day, the emotions, the excitement, and all the special memories we want to hold on to forever. The film is beautiful, cinematic, and something we will treasure for the rest of our lives. We couldn’t be happier with Embark Films and are so grateful they were part of our wedding day. If you’re considering them, do it,you won’t regret it.

We kept getting compliments weeks after the wedding about what a fantastic venue choice this was! We had great weather on 9/28/2025 and it was a beautiful place for a nice sunny daytime wedding. Immediately we were sold on the panoramic views of Mount Tom and the overlook, the patio area with plenty of room for games, as well as the delicious food options. The staff really took it to the next level! We worked with Amanda for most of the planning phase. She had spreadsheets to collect all our information about our plans for the day in order to handle as much of the legwork as they could. This worked like a dream. Kelly was our day-of coordinator, and she was an absolute joy to work with. My wife and I seriously couldn’t have done it without her and our lead server Ellery, as we had planned lots of speeches, a video game tournament, line dancing with all the guests, and more. Everyone at The Log Cabin was completely dedicated to bringing our ideas to life and pulled the whole day off perfectly. We didn’t have to worry about a thing, so we really got to enjoy ourselves with our friends and family! I would happily recommend this venue to anyone.

If you're looking for a makeup artist, I highly recommend Alex at Glam for Everyone! As someone who rarely wears makeup, it was important to me to find a balance of glam and still feeling like myself. At my makeup trial, Alex went above and beyond, patiently guiding me through my concerns and actively listening to feedback to help me create the perfect look for my wedding day. Just as importantly, Alex brought that same calm, patient & positive vibe to the wedding day - which was so important given how early we started! A massive thank you to Alex for making me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt (which is saying a lot given that I'm naturally so uncomfortable in makeup), and for helping the rest of my wedding party look and feel like the best version of themselves, too! The next time I'm in need of professional makeup services, I'll be reaching out to Glam for Everyone first. (Photo by @KairosImagesSM)

I had such a great experience with Lisa as my bridal makeup artist. From the very beginning, she truly listened — not just to what I wanted my look to be, but to my concerns, my comfort level, and even the little details I didn’t know how to articulate. She took the time to educate me on how bridal makeup works which made me feel so confident going into my wedding day. If you’re on the fence about doing a makeup trial, do it. The trial gave me such a clear preview of my final look and helped me walk into my big day completely at ease. On the wedding day, Lisa was punctual, professional, and kept the mood light and joyful. She has such a good, calming spirit — the kind of presence you want around you on a day full of emotions and excitement. I felt comfortable with everything she was doing, and that alone was priceless. And let me tell you… my makeup LASTED. ALL. NIGHT. Through the ceremony, photos, reception, after‑party, hugs, tears — everything. I looked flawless from start to finish on the most magical day of my life. Lisa is truly gifted at what she does, and I’m so grateful she was part of my wedding experience. Highly, highly recommend.

  • Serves Russell, MA

Photography is my passion. As a third generation photographer, it's in my blood! My grandfather opened a photography studio in Chicopee during the 1940's. Growing up, I spent hours looking at family photos, studying the faces of friends and loved ones. I read the hand written notes on the back of the pictures and I was taken back to the exact moment the photograph was taken. Even if the picture was snapped long before my birth, I could feel the emotion from that time. Photographs were and continue to be an absolute treasure in my household.

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Danielle. She had great communication leading up to the day and created a detailed itinerary. She was enthusiastic and so helpful from the moment she arrived through the 8 hours she stayed with us. She captured everything and more with such beauty. She gave us space as a couple while still photographing every portrait and moment we wanted and also got beautiful candids we will always cherish. We definitely recommend and will book her again for all future events.

Then a good friend referred me to Steph. She was so kind and helpful from day one. She was there to answer all my questions, no matter how many there were, leading up to the wedding. The day of, she was so patient with me and was able to keep the bridal party moving along and get pictures done so quickly so we could enjoy the party. The pictures came out better than we could have hoped for .. and we got them back SO fast. Plus they came in a beautiful keepsake box. Trust me, you want to use her for all your special occasions!

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Russell, MA

Western MA based photojournalist and wedding photographer. Prior to coming home to Western Mass in 2010, I lived in Washington, DC. I spent 6 years as a member of the White House press corps . I was lucky enough to document a lot of historic events, including the election and inauguration of President Obama. My work has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Boston Globe.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Matthew to capture my daughter's wedding was one of the single best decisions made for that day. He is thoughtful throughout the process, taking time to meet with my daughter and her fiancé and have them really think about what was important to them to capture during their special day, putting together a timeline to make the most of our time with Matthew, and then just seamlessly blending in with the day and capturing some of the most stunning photos. We were blown away! We had seen enough of his work to know we'd be pleased, but he exceeded all of our expectations. His level of professionalism is extraordinary.
