I hired Audrey for my wedding and highly reccomend her for any photography needs. We loved the photos and everyone we sent the photos too loved them. Audrey was phenomenal and truly made our day special and had a positive impact on the whole wedding process. She was organized from the start of booking a consultation with her all the way to quickly getting our photos back. I was anxious about alot of wedding planning but I was never worried about working with Audrey. She was so kind to everyone, calm and collected the whole day (and whole process). She was efficient and gave clear directions to our large wedding party, which was needed to stay on scheudle and fit everything in that we wanted. She was able to add a personal touch that we were so happy to have.

We chose Comeketo to reflect our Latin-American fusion wedding. From the initial tasting through the planning process to the reception, Comeketo exceeded expectations. They were easy to work with and delivered a very customized menu and presentation. This was no cookie-cutter wedding meal. Our guests all commented on the beautifully presented and unique appetizers during the cocktail reception, including the stunning fruit tower centerpiece. For the main dinner, the Churrasco bbq service for dinner (meat on swords!) was a unique and memorable part of the reception. Many thanks to Rodrigo and Toni for bringing our vision to life!

We recently had our wedding in July at The Barn At Blackstone National, and I can't recommend it highly enough. This venue is an absolute gem—what we loved about it most was our ability to fall in love with it by itself, simply stunning even with no decor. The ambiance was both elegant and rustic, creating an unforgettable atmosphere that our guests are still raving about. One of the standout highlights was the food. It was nothing short of amazing, and our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the delicious food. It was presented beautifully, too! Also- the Barn has the BEST chocolate chip cookies you’ll ever taste and I recommend trying them regardless of what you do for your wedding dessert. What truly made our day so seamless and stress-free was our incredible wedding coordinator, Kate (Kate the great or the GOAT as well called her). From start to finish, Kate was phenomenal. Her organizational skills were impeccable, and she paid meticulous attention to every detail, ensuring that everything went off without a hitch. Kate's personable nature and deep knowledge of wedding planning made us feel completely at ease. She was patient and responsive, always ready to address any questions or concerns we had. On the wedding day, she conducted everything flawlessly, allowing us to enjoy every moment with confidence and comfort. We truly are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with everyone at the Barn, but especially Kate. If you're considering The Barn At Blackstone National for your wedding, and especially if you have the chance to work with Kate, you’re in for a truly exceptional experience. We are incredibly grateful for the beautiful day they helped us create and would recommend them wholeheartedly.

We hired Luis Andrade of Lionizing Entertainment for our wedding, and we are SO GLAD we did! We were looking for someone who would let us have a lot of control over our music, and we got so much more. He took our requests into consideration and did a fantastic job building upon them. Luis was funny, welcoming, worked with my grandparents on getting mics connected for the videos they were taking, played excellent music, worked off of our highly curated playlists for the cocktail hour and reception, and kept the dance floor full for hours. I have never had so much fun dancing at a wedding. I highly recommend him as a DJ, I wish there was another event coming up where we could hire him again. We’ve attended quite a few weddings by this point and he outshined every other DJ we’ve seen.

Merriment was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. They are exceptional communicators, extremely responsive, and truly attentive listeners, delivering phenomenal quality throughout the entire process. From the beginning, Merriment showed genuine interest in getting to know us and understanding the video style we envisioned. During our initial call, Jared answered all our questions, discussed our preferences, and walked us through their offerings to ensure we found the perfect fit. We found Merriment’s team to be highly versatile, with editing styles and options that could adapt to any vision. Their detailed questionnaire guided us in refining our vision, and they were willing to co-create something that felt uniquely ours. This thoughtful process gave us complete confidence in working with them. Jojo, our videographer, met with us beforehand to walk through exactly how the day would unfold. Her expertise and guidance helped us fully relax and enjoy the process. On the wedding day, Jojo blended in seamlessly, capturing our most meaningful moments without ever being intrusive. She coordinated effortlessly with our other vendors and anticipated every key moment with flawless timing. We especially loved her attention to the little details—like candid moments with our families and laughter among friends—that made the final video feel so personal and complete. Our final video is everything we’d hoped for and more. We’ve received countless compliments on its stunning quality and on how every shot shows an attention to detail that lets us—and our families—relive the magic of the day. For anyone on the fence about having video, there’s nothing like being able to hear and see the moments that go by so quickly. Reliving our ceremony and vows, for example, is truly priceless. Merriment didn’t just preserve our memories—they brought our day to life. We can’t recommend them enough. They’re wonderful to work with at every step, deliver an exceptional final product, and offer incredible value. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone!

Salem Cross Inn checked all our boxes for the perfect venue. It was affordable and included an outdoor ceremony location as well as an indoor ceremony location in case of rain. Luckily, the weather was gorgeous for our early Autumn wedding to allow us to be married outside. Our guest list was small, less than 50 people, which allowed us to rent The Brookfield Room on the second floor. This was perfect for us and provided us with a dance room and recpetion room. The bridal suite gave us sanctuary to have our makeup and hair done while our amazing photographer wandered around capturing our day. The backdrop of a beautiful farm landscape made for the perfect fantasy enchanted forest wedding theme. But the staff were the real stars in our day as they made everything incredibly easy. Donna and Nancy checked in on us to make sure we were all set. They helped with some quick changes and genuinely enjoyed our party. Hailee was a superstar! She took care of anything we needed, made sure that our stuff was safe and was wonderful with the kids at our party. I cannot say enough amazing things about this venue. I am grateful for their professionalism, joy and the food was absolutely mouthwatering!!

After your venue — and your partner (in that order) — your photographer is the most important choice you’ll make for your wedding. They’re the ones who help you preserve the day forever. They’re also with you through so much of it, so you want people who make you feel comfortable, relaxed, and genuinely add to the experience. Joe and Elin do exactly that. From start to finish, they partnered with us to make sure everything ran seamlessly — from helping us build a detailed timeline to ensuring everyone felt included and cared for throughout the weekend. We lost count of how many guests asked, “Who are your photographers? They’re the nicest people!” or commented on how Joe and Elin made the day even better — and how often do you hear that? They captured every moment beautifully, brought a sense of calm and fun to the day, and left us with photos we’ll treasure forever. Joe and Elin are the easy choice — and one of the best decisions you’ll make for your wedding.

We discovered this venue through Zola and fell in love with it immediately from the very first look online. Right away, we knew it felt like the perfect place for our wedding day! We scheduled a tour on January 29, 2023, and brought our parents along because we wanted to see if they liked it as much as we did. Seeing the venue in person, we knew it was the perfect place to celebrate our wedding. Moira showed us every detail of the property, including the Barn and the Winthrop Room (the two reception spaces), the Alpheus Room (indoor ceremony space), the patio, and the beautiful lawn where we could take family, wedding party, and bride-and-groom photos. By the end of the tour, we knew this was the one, and we officially booked our wedding for October 26, 2024. Throughout the planning process, the venue staff’s professionalism and experience stood out. Moira was able to answer any and all questions we had about any aspect of the wedding from the dimensions of the arbor in the Alpheus room to special meal accommodations for a guest. Also, we initially planned our ceremony for 5 PM but realized that with our late-October date, we wouldn’t have enough daylight for formal photos after the ceremony. We talked to Moira, and we were able to adjust the timeline, pushing the ceremony earlier so we could capture outdoor photos before sunset. On the big day, everything exceeded our expectations! The food was a highlight, with our guests raving about all of the food, which included filet of beef, grilled salmon, vegetable lasagna, and chicken tenders for all the kids (or kids at heart). The venue also ensured that we had some food to eat during the photo session during cocktail hour to make sure that we were happy and not hangry while taking pictures! Because of the earlier ceremony time, we were able to utilize the gazebo on the property for some formal photos and a first look with Kayla and her dad before the ceremony. During the cocktail hour, we took the remaining photos out on the lawn with the stunning fall colors as a backdrop. Overall, The Barn at Wight Farm supported us in every way and did everything necessary to give us the wedding of our dreams. We can’t recommend it more!

I’ve never been more excited to write a review for someone! From start to finish, working with Sara was a joy - she was extremely responsive, kind, and organized. She did the bouquets for myself and my wedding party, as well as arch flowers and boutonnières for groomsmen. She even threw in a few stems for our wedding cake and stayed after the ceremony to move the arch flowers to our dessert table. I could not believe my eyes when I saw the final product - it’s like she read my mind and made all my autumnal dreams come true. They were truly the perfect fall wedding flowers! Thank you Sara!
