The Best Wedding Vendors in Salem, MA

C-Zone Entertainment

Rating: 5.0 (61 reviews)

“DJ Shyne is the difference between a good wedding and a once-in-a-lifetime, next-level, unforgettable experience. Hiring him was the single best decision we made for our wedding. He is outstanding—a true artist in his craft. It’s so clear that he’s not only dedicated to his profession but also deeply loves what he does. We gave DJ Shyne what we thought was an impossible challenge: blend pop hits, Spanish tunes, emo throwbacks, Disney jams, booty-shaking hip hop, and a long list of theme songs from our favorite TV shows and movies (everything from The White Lotus to Saw). On top of that, we added a handful of random, deeply personal songs you’d never expect at a wedding. What happened? Not only did he execute this perfectly, but he became the catalyst for a wedding that felt curated exactly to US—spinning a history of us both as individuals and our journey together woven into a seamless soundtrack. His mixing was unique, unexpected, and so much fun. As the bride, there was no place I wanted to be except on that dance floor. Our guests went wild. Compliments poured in all night and days after. We got so many texts like, “BROOO your DJ?! ” that we started to lose count. But it wasn’t just about the music. From the very first Zoom, DJ Shyne radiated charisma and professionalism. He carried that positive energy into every planning meeting and right through the reception—he even gave our speakers personal pep talks before their toasts! And when it came to group dances, he did something I’ve never seen: he stepped onto the dance floor, mic in hand, and taught the moves live. Towards the end of the Cha Cha Slide, he started teaching the crowd the moves to the Cupid Shuffle so by the time it started they were already doing it!!! No confusion, no awkward guessing, just pure joy and inclusion. He quickly became the vendor we looked forward to meeting with most. We ended each Zoom call feeling assured, uplifted, and excited about the possibilities. Out of everyone we worked with, he was the best. It does not get better than DJ Shyne. He isn’t just the DJ your wedding needs, he’s the DJ your wedding deserves.”

Witchy Woman Weddings

Rating: 5.0 (48 reviews)

“I very recently got married, and the planning leading up to the wedding went so smoothly and so quickly! Venue, florals, photography- things got checked off our list with relative ease. Then we got a bit stuck- we needed an officiant! It can seem like a simple pick, but if you don’t want to have a friend or family get ordained, and you’re not a member of a traditional religion, it can be a harder match to make. But then, we found Tara at Witchy Woman Weddings and reached out immediately. We’re so glad we did!! Inquiry was simple and responses were fast. We only spoke through email leading up to the day itself, but Tara does have the option to book meetings if you’d prefer some face-to-face contact in the lead up to your big day. She has such a peaceful and warm presence that, even if you’re meeting her for the first time at the altar for the ceremony as I did, you feel that calm and kind energy emanating towards you. The process for creating your ceremony script is both easy and personalized- Tara has an in-depth questionnaire to fill out that covers a wide range of topics so she can tailor the ceremony to your unique story and the vibe you’re aiming to create. It really covers all the bases but doesn’t feel daunting to complete. After that, she delivers a sample script and makes sure to note that edits can be made if there is anything you want changed- we didn’t make a single change to ours! We got emotional just reading through our draft and were amazed at how she captured us in the writing. To sum all this up, I am beyond grateful to have found Tara. She was the perfect person to join us together, mixing elements of both the traditional and the not-so-traditional on our Friday the 13th wedding. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a truly special, unique, and heartfelt ceremony. At the risk of sounding a little cheesy, she truly helped make our day a magical one!”

Story & Light

Rating: 5.0 (27 reviews)

“From the moment they walked into my bridal suite, they felt like part of the family. They weren’t intrusive, just warm and kind. My bridesmaids all adored them and said they made the room calmer. I think that’s why the photos look so relaxed and genuine. My husband hates being in front of cameras but they somehow made him smile naturally. The pictures of us laughing together are my favorites. They stayed through the entire reception too and got all the crazy fun dancing. The video looks like a storybook and I can’t stop watching it. My mom says it’s the best keepsake she’s ever seen. They were professional but also so human, which matters a lot. I feel like I didn’t just hire photographers, I made friends. I would choose them again in a heartbeat.”

Nicole Adrienne Photography

Rating: 5.0 (15 reviews)

“We don’t even know where to begin with Nicole!! It was an absolute dream to work with her. Due to unforeseen circumstances (it’s COVID, right?), we were out a photographer one month out from our wedding. Nicole was the first person I messaged on Instagram and I am SO happy she was available. We met over coffee a couple weeks before our wedding since an engagement shoot wasn’t possible for our schedule. We breathed a huge sigh of relief after meeting her, knowing that we would connect with her perfectly. Not to mention, her style of photography and editing is exactly what we wanted. The only time my husband and I really posed was for formal family/couple portraits! The rest of the time, we didn’t even notice her and we got so many gorgeous, candid photos. We got our pictures yesterday, exactly on our one-month anniversary! I was shocked to get that many edited pictures so soon! We cried looking through our sneak peeks (which were delivered day after the wedding) and our full gallery. We felt comfortable, confident, and loved throughout the whole day. She fit perfectly with our intimate wedding, being one of six guests. I can’t recommend Nicole enough; she came in clutch for us, was super flexible with talking/meeting with us, was the best friend we needed day of, and delivered the most gorgeous pictures which such creative vantage points. I’m at a loss for words with how beautiful everything turned out. Thank you so much, Nicole!”

“My husband and I had some trepidation around choosing a photographer for our elopement, mainly because we really wanted any photos taken to reflect the two of us, and our relationship, authentically. We wanted intimate, personal, simple, and classic...and we found all of these things in Tessa. Tessa always put our vision at the forefront of her work, and she worked with us every step of the planning process to make our elopement seamless. She suggested venues, worked with our busy schedules to coordinate planning meetings, and even served as our officiant. Throughout it all, she was the perfect balance of honesty, warmth, and professionalism, and we would work with her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Tessa, for everything. You are amazing!”

Lorna Stell Photo

Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)

“Lorna was a great photographer to work with for my surprise proposal with my fiancée. I was looking for a photographer who offered a proposal photoshoot for 60 minutes without all the frills that I saw elsewhere. Lorna stood out to me because of her portfolio and her services. I met with Lorna on Zoom several weeks before the actual proposal and we talked about what my fiancée and I enjoyed and what I was looking for in the photos. I was nervous because this was the first time I had ever used a photographer for something in my life but Lorna walked me through all the steps and made me feel comfortable with the process. Even though I had a general proposal location (Arnold Arboretum) picked out in my mind, she helped me figure out the best spot in the park. She got there early to set up and scope out the best angles. The photos I received were really crispy and captured the best moments from that day. I would definitely recommend Lorna to anyone else that is looking for proposal photos or any other service.”

Hi there! I’m Alexandria, a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in the Boston area. I’ve been in love with storytelling through photos since I picked up my first camera at just eight years old. My goal is simple: to create timeless, authentic images that reflect the joy, love, and little in-between moments that make your day uniquely yours.

“Straightforward from start to finish. Upfront about pricing and flexible with our timeline, which took a lot of stress out of the process. What surprised us most was how spacious the venue felt despite its rustic, casual vibe—the pool room and arcade games kept our guests entertained all night, and the buffet was genuinely delicious. The layout was interesting and unexpected. We loved that Village Tavern felt more fun then a traditional reception space. Honestly, we couldn't have asked for a better venue at a reasonable price.”

Salty Raven Studio

“We met Danielle at an LGBTQ wedding expo while searching for photographer that had experience photographing two dress weddings, a niche market we quickly figured out, and immediately fell in love. Her photos capture the moment and never feel overly posed, which won over my camera shy wife immediately. We did our engagement shoot on the streets of Salem and Danielle managed to capture the love we have for each other and made simple store fronts look like a Christmas wonderland without making the shoot feel like work. By the time we got to our wedding day, we had absolutely no concerns about her ability to capture the day as a single shooter and she definitely didn’t disappoint! She created the most perfect first look so we could take a moment together before the ceremony began, melted into the background and got a million candid photos of our night, set up the PERFECT photo flash dance to get some silly photos of our friend groups, and corralled our blended families for gorgeous group shots.”

My work is vibrant, moment-driven, and authentic. I love focusing on your connection as a couple, what makes you and your wedding unique, and your interactions with family and friends as you celebrate together. My approach to wedding photography leans toward a documentary or photojournalistic style with a fine art element (I graduated from Wellesley College with a degree in studio art). While I might suggest an area with great lighting to stand in, I will never ask you to “pretend” to do anything. Ever.

Salem Waterfront Hotel & Suites

Rating: 4.0 (1 review)

“We had a room block here for our wedding in Beverly, and hosted a brunch the day after (you have to have a catered event at the hotel in order to have a room block). Overall, our experience was pretty good. The hotel has been recently renovated and the rooms were beautiful. The King Suite was great to get ready in - I had 11 people getting hair and makeup done, with 4 artists, and there was enough space. Having the Regatta Pub on site was perfect for a welcome event and post-wedding spot and could easily accommodate a large influx of people. The brunch was ready to go with plenty of tasty food and drink. They also were able to hand out welcome bags when guests checked in. Kristen, who organized the room block, was extremely communicative and responsive to our emails, and helped us add rooms to our block a couple times. We are rating 4/5 stars for a couple reasons. First is that housekeeping never came to the suite to clean after we had left for the wedding, so we returned at the end of the night to all of the room-service coffee/breakfast items that had arrived at 8:30 that morning. When we called the front desk, no one answered. Secondly, while the brunch was great, they do charge a large room fee and administrative fee.”

Photography by Things to do in Salem

“Alyse worked with my fiancé and I for our engagement shoot at Beacon Hill. Since we are from out of town (NY) and the shoot took place at the height of Covid, this required some strategic planning on both ends. Alyse was so kind and flexible to work with.

Photographer
Photojournalistic style

My style has a very relaxed, authentic and fresh feel and the images are full of love and laughter. I am driven by a couple’s story from the beginning, and really enjoy learning how two people came to fall so madly in love. My goal as your wedding photographer is to capture every emotion from one of the best days of your life.
