They go above and beyond (including fanning me and grabbing me water as I get ready to walk down the aisle). We got a bunch of sneak peaks the same night as our wedding.

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.

Myles and his team at The Boylston Rooms were a dream to work with. Our wedding day couldn’t have gone more smoothly. The entire process from booking our date right through the wedding day was a breeze. We felt like we were cared for and that making our dream come to life was a priority every step of the way. We are over the moon with how everything went and also a little bit sad to say goodbye to our team at The Boylston Rooms! We wish we could live the day over and over again.

Pat works throughout the Berkshires, Hartford, the Connecticut shoreline, the Hudson Valley, Newport, and the greater Boston area.

Awarded Best of Zola
DJ Pat was a pleasure to work with for our August 2025 wedding! He was extremely prepared throughout the entire day and made sure to provide extra microphones, as well as extras to the extras, in the event they were needed. We shared with Pat that my mother has a tremor and he provided us with mic stands for the speeches so that she would feel completely comfortable the entire time. He transitioned our ceremony music seamlessly and thoughtfully, and never failed to communicate with us throughout the day as the timeline changed. Inevitably, our timeline fell slightly behind, and Pat was flexible with his set to keep people dancing for the entirety of the shortened reception. He made sure all of our 'must-play' songs were played and ensured our 'do not play songs' were not. We loved his lighting setup and could not have asked for a better experience. He communicated with kindness to all of our other vendors, and we are so happy that we chose Rob Alberti Event Services for our wedding!

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!!

We had such a wonderful experience working with Danny for our wedding! He was timely, professional, responsive and overall a pleasant person to work with. On our big day he was punctual and prepared, he gave great guidance on posing and lighting. We’re not the most camera-savvy couple, but he helped us look and feel our best. He found the perfect spots to shoot, resulting in some truly magical moments. We just received our sneak peak photos and they are stunning, couldn’t be happier! They capture the emotion and beauty of the day perfectly. Our guests had nothing but nice things to say and frequently commented about how great he was! Highly recommend.

Home, hotel or yurt in the woods, all can be accommodated.

Moonstone Bridal was a dream to work with for my small wedding. From our first consultation, Justine’s communication was clear, enthusiastic and positive - she listened to my needs and was ready for anything I needed. She was always open to small tweaks I had for colors and styles during and after the trial. I was especially grateful that she took the time to buy and use a special hypoallergenic brush cleaner to accommodate my very sensitive skin. Thanks to her expertise and care, I (and my two bridesmaids) felt confident, comfortable and beautiful!!

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

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.

We had our wedding at the Hotel Northampton on New Year’s Eve (12/31/24), and it truly could not have been more unforgettable. From start to finish, the entire experience was absolutely flawless. My wife, our families, and all of our friends had an amazing time, and we are still hearing from guests about how beautiful and fun the night was. The hotel itself is elegant, timeless, and full of charm. It provided the perfect backdrop for a romantic winter wedding, and having everything under one roof made it incredibly convenient for us and our guests. A huge shoutout to the entire staff, who went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. In particular, Ruby Meng was outstanding—her professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care made the planning process seamless and stress-free. She was a joy to work with and made us feel completely supported every step of the way. All of the recommended vendors were top-notch and worked together beautifully. The hotel’s attention to detail and coordination helped everything come together without a hitch. If you’re considering Hotel Northampton for your wedding or any special event, do not hesitate. It’s a beautiful venue with a stellar team that truly delivers unforgettable experiences. Thank you again to everyone at Hotel Northampton for helping us ring in the new year as newlyweds in the most incredible way possible!

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.
