Frosty was great! They were responsive and understanding of our unique wedding situation, the ladies who served our reception were sweet, personable and brought fun energy. The desserts were so delicious and nostalgic. Almost everyone got sundaes which caused a bit of a line, but the servers pushed through gracefully! Definitely a crowd pleaser!

From the moment I booked my appointment with Beautiful Faces by Janis, I knew I was in good hands! Janis and her team were incredibly friendly, kind, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. On the day of my wedding, Janis and her assistant Sue Ellen went above and beyond, we even had a special moment where they helped me get into my dress when we were running behind schedule. And Sue Ellen was a GENIUS with the corset lace and saved the day by lacing me up! Their patience and attention to detail were truly amazing. Janis brought such warmth and laughter to my wedding party, she is such a character that went out of her way to make you feel like family to her.

I have been a professional makeup artist and stylist for over 15 years now. I have done 1 on 1 extensive makeup training with world renown makeup artist David Nicholas. I am very passionate about what I do. I truly enjoy giving people the gift of showing them just how amazing they can look and feel! That is what brought me to this industry to begin with! It makes me so happy to see people smile and feel good about themselves!!!

The absolute BEST! I could not recommend them more. They made our wedding so memorable. The hair and makeup was FLAWLESS. We had 14 girls getting it done, and they had a team of four who worked SO FAST and got them all completed ahead of the time planned. The team is extremely talented, punctual, fun to work with and honestly were our favorite vendor of our entire wedding process. I would not recommend them more. If I could give them 10 stars, I would!

A Dream Wedding at Margeaux Supper Parlor We hosted our engagement party turned wedding at Margeaux Supper Parlor, and it was pure magic. From the moment we stepped inside, we were blown away by the beauty of the space - especially the bar, which created the most stunning backdrop for photos we’ll cherish forever. Rebekah, the owner, and her incredible team thought of everything. From a custom, dairy-free menu (which was so important to me) to specialty passed cocktails and thoughtful service throughout, not a single detail was missed. The private oasis room was the perfect retreat for a quiet moment together during the celebration and added such a personal touch to the evening. And yes, we even sabered champagne! Whether it’s a bridal shower, engagement party, or wedding, we can’t recommend Margeaux enough. It’s a truly special place run by truly special people.

These two made our night incredible! We had the best reception ever thanks to them! DJ Tavo accommodated our requests with ease and also offered a lot of helpful advice in the planning process. They did bilingual introductions so both families could be included in on the fun. The music was the perfect mix of party/spanish music which is exactly what we were looking for. We even had guests coming up to us saying that they loved our DJ! We also had a unplanned, surprise speech from the mother of the groom in Spanish that DJ Tavo translated to English on the spot.

For over 30 years, DJ Denise LaCarubba | Vibeology IA has aligned with clients to create and present soundtracks for weddings, fashion shows, fundraisers, corporate, international and private events.

Awarded Best of Zola
We met Denise when she DJ'd a friend's wedding and it was the most fun reception I'd ever attended. I knew she HAD to be my DJ if ever I got married! From day 1 of meeting with her for our wedding, it was clear that her goal was to give us the best party of our lives, whatever that looked like to us. She had great advice throughout the entire process and took time to get to know us and what style/vibe we wanted for our reception. Communication is key, and she had the logistics of the reception planned down to the minute. The music portal is very user friendly and it was really fun to think through our music. If you need song advice, she's your gal. She will strictly adhere to your do NOT play list. She gets the guests engaged and is truly a party starter (if that's what you want). Our guests told us they were sore the next morning because they literally never left the dance floor. Many have asked us to do an annual anniversary party and have Denise DJ it. She will become your family DJ for life and we know of at least 2 guests who plan to have her DJ their wedding. She is a lovely human and a STELLAR DJ. You will not regret asking her to DJ your special day! <3

Dearly Studio is a courthouse alternative for couples who want a no-fuss ceremony that's still personal, elegant and fun. The concept for Dearly Studio is novel, but not new — plenty of little chapels exist outside Las Vegas, and giddy couples have been skipping over to their local courthouse since forever. What makes Dearly so special is the care that goes into crafting each ceremony, the community of vendors we’re lucky to be surrounded by at Bow Market and the flexibility of our packages to provide a bespoke experience. Cookie cutter weddings are OUT, friends. Time for big feelings, small weddings and a celebration that’s uniquely yours.

PK and the Mighty Seven is a 9-piece powerhouse band built on a foundation of 10+ years performing weddings as a consistent group. Every horn blast, vocal harmony, and rhythm is sharpened by a decade of musical chemistry. We began with a shared love for high-energy soul and funk and an initial Jamiroquai tribute gig, but today we bring that same authentic energy to everything from timeless classics to modern hits. With world-class vocals and a 3-piece horn section, we deliver a wall-to-wall rallying cry to the dance floor that won't be ignored.

Awarded Best of Zola
Let me start by saying that we are not the type to write reviews for anybody - good or bad - but for the sake of future individuals/couples looking to book PK and the Mighty Seven we feel obligated to say that if you are looking for a band to entertain whatever party you are hosting you MUST choose PK and the Mighty Seven. To start, Matt was incredibly communicative and responsive during the initial planning stages, promptly responding to e-mails and joining several Zoom calls leading up to our event. We had a vision for our special day and they accommodated each and every one of our requests. On the day of they arrived early and did the necessary prep work to ensure they were fully situated to provide our guests with the night of a lifetime. They took special care to accommodate our unusual first dance request, song recommendations, and the ambiance we sought to instill. We had a wide array of guests and the overwhelmingly consistent feedback we received was that the band was AMAZING. No exaggeration - the majority of our guests said they were the best band they'd ever experienced. If you are getting married or have a special event in their area you will be doing yourselves an immense disservice not to hire them to make your evening as spectacular as you want it to be.

We loved Simple Fare! I don't write reviews unless I truly mean it. The food was absolutely delicious, working with them was so easy, communication was constant, and I sometimes felt like Maeghan was my second Wedding Coordinator. She had so many good ideas and always kept our vision and most importantly (to us), our budget in mind! She helped us organize our floor plan in a way that kept things running smooth and kept people partying - for example, coffee and desserts on the edge of the dance floor to keep people dancing all night! As someone who had no idea where to begin planning, I appreciated every bit of guidance Maeghan provided. Our venue had a list of preferred caterers but we specifically went off-list so we could work with Simple Fare! Because they were not pre-approved, there were some additional hoops to jump through, but Maeghan and Candice and everyone at Simple Fare went above and beyond to make sure everything was covered and that the process was smooth on our end. Truly no extra steps were added for us. Candice was our on-site event manager and went the extra mile to make sure our dinner service ran smoothly. She coordinated tables for the buffet so there was never a line, and stopped by our sweetheart table multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed or wanted! The bartenders and servers did an amazing job and seemed to be having a great time during the reception, which in turn made all the guests have an even better time! Who says you can't have fun while doing your job, you know? Everyone raved about the food, and I can attest it was delicious. Get the short rib!!! And the stuffed mushrooms and oatmeal raisin cookies :) I'd recommend their food and service to anyone planning an event!

We are truly so appreciative of Rabbi Noyo and her helping to bring our wedding ceremony to fruition - blending the religious faiths of myself and my wife in a way that was respectful, creative, and sincerely reflected our personal values. During the ceremony itself, she was quick to save the day when our lapel microphones unexpectedly stopped working and she swooped in with a handheld mic that had been stationed elsewhere for readers during our ceremony. She was open and accommodating to co-officiate with my wife's pastor and met with both him and ourselves many times in the year leading up to the wedding. I am so glad she was part of our wedding!

Half documentary. Half editorial. Fully yours. Hi, I’m Liza, a wedding photographer based in Boston, serving couples throughout New England and beyond. With a background in fashion photography, I blend candid storytelling with timeless, editorial-inspired imagery. My goal is to capture your day as it naturally unfolds while creating photographs that feel authentic, timeless, and true to you. Years from now, I want your photographs to do more than show you how your wedding looked—I want them to bring you back to exactly how it felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot recommend Liza Lavine highly enough! She is an incredibly talented photographer with such a clear artistic vision, but what makes her truly exceptional is the way she combines that talent with her kindness, organization, and ability to make you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. As someone who does not particularly love having my picture taken, I was honestly amazed by how comfortable Liza made me feel. Her coaching is direct, insightful, and incredibly helpful — she knows exactly how to position you, where to look, and how to make a moment feel natural rather than posed. And for anyone who thinks that the subject is what makes a photograph beautiful: the subject might contribute to the photo, but Liza is the reason it is so beautiful. She has an incredible eye and a way of capturing people that makes every image feel artistic, authentic, and completely us. Our family and friends absolutely adored her, too. She was so warm and personable throughout the entire day, and somehow managed to make everyone feel comfortable while still getting all of the photos we wanted. For our 120-person wedding, we made the decision not to have a second shooter, and we were so impressed by how organized and efficient Liza was. She truly does not miss a moment. She was somehow everywhere she needed to be, capturing all of the important moments as well as the little ones we didn't even realize were happening. Her knowledge of how to photograph a wedding — while also keeping the busiest day of your life moving on schedule — is seriously impressive. We never felt rushed or behind, and we always felt like we were in the best possible hands. Liza also photographed our engagement session, and that experience made us even more excited to have her capture our wedding day. We are so grateful for the beautiful memories she gave us and cannot wait to come back to Liza when we start our family and are ready for more photos! She is truly the very best, and we feel incredibly lucky that she was our photographer!

Transitioning from the nightclub scene to weddings was a complete 180, but the warmth and love we received from the wedding community made me stay.

Madalene and Melinda were amazing to work with. As a Cambodian-American bride, with a strong identity to both cultures, I was having a hard time finding someone who could capture the essence of what it’s like to grow up and listen to Khmer music and mainstream American music and have all your memorable experiences be shaped by that. I am so so grateful I found Madlove and that they were able to deliver exactly what I wanted and recreate that nostalgia, but also they paid attention to the crowd and what they were feeling. Our wedding day was the best day ever and they made our reception time even more memorable. All of our friends and family were getting down to the Khmer music and it made me so proud! I loved seeing all of our friends embrace our fun dances like Madizone and Romvong. Highly recommend these amazing people to make your special day the best it can be!

Johanna was truly amazing to work with. From the second I met her at the trial, I fully trusted her to make me feel beautiful on my wedding day, and she did!

Music has been the center of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the last 20 years, I've performed at hundreds of weddings and private celebrations, held residencies at local bars and clubs, and livestreamed mixshows online. Every one of those experiences shapes how I show up for your wedding.

cannot recommend John from Elation Entertainment enough! From the very beginning, communication was outstanding. He was always quick to respond, organized, professional, and made the entire planning process feel so easy. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and made us feel completely confident going into our wedding day. On the day of the wedding, he absolutely exceeded every expectation. The dance floor was packed ALL. NIGHT. LONG. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had and how amazing the music was! He read the crowd perfectly, kept the energy high, and played the perfect mix of songs that had everyone- from our youngest guests to our older guests- dancing! Beyond being incredibly talented, he is genuinely one of the kindest people you’ll work with. He was so friendly, accommodating, and truly cared about making our day unforgettable. If you’re looking for a DJ who is professional, easy to work with, and knows exactly how to throw an incredible party, look no further. We are so grateful for everything he did to make our wedding the best night of our lives. Thank you for an unforgettable celebration!

We were just married last Saturday and Julian is an absolute dream florist and a must to work with. We cannot thank Julian enough for capturing our wedding vision and creating the most stunning florals for our big day. We had a large wedding with 160 guests and a big dream for our flowers. Julian was incredibly kind, patient, and caring from the very beginning. When we first talked to Julian, he put together a proposal that was beyond any proposal we received elsewhere. He was able to capture exactly what we had in our minds and put everything down on paper. (Not to mention that he is phenomenal on Canva and is able to precisely create digital mockups). We met with Julian multiple times throughout the planning process and he took in all of ideas, was always open to making changes, and ALWAYS made us feel supported and heard. They ended up creating the most stunning cocktail hour arrangements I have ever seen. Some highlights include a gorgeous and plentiful cascading arrangement stemming from the venue's grand piano, colorful bud vases for our cocktail tables, and stunning color-blocked meadow arrangements for on top of our seating display. Julian was able to capture our bright and whimsical personalities through every bud and stem. Our large guest list resulted in a VERY large bridal party. Each bridesmaid held a flower that corresponded with the color of their dresses. The quality of these flowers were unreal and my favorite flowers of the day were the dahlias that my maid of honor held. Dahlias were reaching the last of their season in October, but Julian did everything possible to make sure they were available and had solid back up plans in case there was an early frost. Finally, the ceremony and dinner flower arrangements were the best I've ever seen (I also work in weddings so I've seen a lot!). The Chuppah was an absolute stand out. Full of color, greenery, and depth - Julian stayed during the ceremony to repurpose our Chuppah flowers to a different arch behind the sweetheart table, working his magic during cocktail hour. The sweetheart table cascading arrangement was the perfect focal point and the ballroom tables varied with high and low arrangements that screamed personality and added colorful pops to our very white space. I'm excited to add photos below to show you everything that I've tried to describe here. But Julian, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You are passionate, caring, talented, and the type of person that every bride and groom deserves to work with. Thank you for helping to create the happiest day of our lives!
