From the moment we booked So Behold This Inc., Johnny was present and responsive throughout the whole process. He was available and engaged during every part of our engagement shoot and wedding day, taking the time to really understand our style. Johnny and Algre were the calm to our big day - the pictures they captured were true pieces of artwork, and the candids they caught were incredible. During the whirlwind of our wedding day, they kept things low-stress without letting us miss a great photo opportunity. I've already been asked for their contact information after sharing our sneak peek photos. I can’t wait to see the rest! I would hire them again and again. We will certainly be calling for future life events.

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.

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!

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Wales, MA

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!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Danny captured every single moment perfectly throughout our entire wedding day! He was amazing to communicate with during the planning process, and created our day-of schedule to make sure we had time for everything that we wanted to have photographed that day. Our next-day previews were so beautiful , and the final gallery (which was delivered so quickly) was even better than what we could have imagined. It was so special to see all of the small, intimate moments that Danny photographed as well that we were not able to see ourselves that day. We are so beyond grateful that we had Danny as our wedding photographer, he is truly the best person that we could’ve asked for to capture our wedding day!

We hired Embark Films for our wedding at the Harding Allen Estate in June 2023, and from start to finish, Embark films were an absolute joy to work with! Our videographer, Chris, scheduled a pre-wedding meeting to understand our vision, walk us through his process, and share helpful insights based on his experience with our venue. On the big day, he was such a calming presence, making sure we felt comfortable and allowing us to truly enjoy each moment. The final film exceeded all our expectations—we had no edits or feedback because it was simply perfect! We can’t get over how beautifully it captured our day.

Planning one of the most important moments in your life can be super stressful and even more exciting! As you take your first steps down the aisle and see your partner see you looking and feeling the most beautiful you ever have is so worth all the “stress”. Here is where it all comes together. My goal for every bride is to take as much of the stress away from you as I possibly can as you start your day. In addition to offering custom flawless hair, I can travel to you! Home, hotel or yurt in the woods, all can be accommodated.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Justine and her team!!! From the first call to the trial run to the day of the wedding, Justine was the consummate professional—thorough, organized, and a generally calming and beautiful presence. She took the time to hear my vision and my worries (I don’t wear a lot of makeup normally so I was concerned about making sure I felt like myself) and at the practice run, she took the time to make sure I felt comfortable and beautiful before I left her chair. The day of the wedding, she and her team were right on time, and took care of my bridal party, mother, and mother in law quickly and beautifully! They helped my mother in law (who’s even more nervous about makeup than I am) feel relaxed and beautiful, and answered my mom’s very specific concerns with no issues. Everyone in my bridal party felt gorgeous, and so did I!! They brought a calming presence to what could have been a hectic morning, and everyone who was part of the getting ready process agreed that we couldn’t have had a better beauty team.

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.

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.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Hello my lovely couples! I am a traveling hairstylist specializing in bridal and formal hair the last 12+ years and would love to be considered for your special day! I use only the best hair products to make you feel clean, refreshed, and naturally stunning!

Beauties By Britt was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding day! Britt's communication style was incredibly reliable and quick - she always responded to my messages promptly and was very organized in keeping us on schedule. The quality of her work was truly professional, beautiful, and timeless. Britt made everyone in the wedding party feel gorgeous, and she captured exactly the styles they had discussed. She was on time the morning of the wedding and kept to the schedule we had made (and if you've been a bride you know how rare that is!). Britt was also incredibly kind and understanding! I made a last-minute request for her to help with someone else's hair at a different location, she happily agreed and the style turned out beautifully. Britt was simply the best hair stylist I couldn't of asked for and I'm forever grateful for how she helped make my big day perfect!

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.
