Awarded Best of Zola
Joseph and Erika played a huge part in how special our wedding day was. We genuinely enjoyed every single part of working with them, from the beginning stages including them hearing our vision and vibe for the wedding, during the planning and using the app which made outlining our event and plans so easy, to the event itself where they really engaged all of our guests and got the party going. Even though we had a brunch wedding, Joseph and Erika helped it feel like we were "dancing the night away!" We had so many of our guests immediately after the wedding and for weeks after comment on what talented and amazing musicians Joseph and Erika are and how fun they helped to make our reception. We loved that they included both live renditions of all of our favorite songs as well as had a killer DJ playlist. Definitely don't miss out on the sing along songs. This duo is so easy to work with and they were so gracious when we fumbled a little on the timing of our event and added an additional hour only to their set only weeks before the wedding. All to say, we are just so grateful we found Joseph and Erika! They are gems.

Working with Alexis has been such a joy! We found her over a year ago and she did our engagement photos, and immediately we vibed with her. She brings such a good yet professional energy to her time with couples, and even though we were a little awkward she reassured us the photos would be great. And they were! She is a great communicator and answered all emails and texts within a reasonable time, and was overall so easy to work with. While we haven’t gotten our full album back yet (we just got married less than a week ago), the engagement photos were incredible and the wedding sneak peeks even better. I heard so many good things from our guests on how they found her professional yet sweet and personable. I would recommend Alexis to anyone as her work speaks for itself, and she was truly a delight, and I hope we get a chance to work with her again!

For over a decade I have been able to work with some of the best in the beauty industry during my time at MAC Cosmetics & as a freelance artist, which has helped me perfect my craft. Not only as a Makeup Artist, but also as a licensed Esthetician- making women feel beautiful in the skin they are in, especially for their big day, has always been my top priority!

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment I reached out to Johanna for a wedding makeup inquiry, she was so kind and had such good energy. I found her on Instagram through other brides who had hired her and I absolutely loved her work. Booking was easy, the contract was very straight forward, and I was so excited that she was available for our wedding! She came to my house for my trial, which was so convenient. Trial makeup was beautiful but she also knew exactly what we would change up on wedding day and was very honest and open with her thoughts and with asking for my opinion, which I appreciated so much. On wedding day, it felt like she was just one of the girls, along with her amazing assistant for our 10-person service. Her vibe, energy, and genuine appreciation for getting to do our makeup was so felt. Everyone’s makeup came out so beautifully and they were all so happy! Our group ranged from mid 20-30 year olds, 50-60 year olds, and my Nana in her 80’s - which just shows how dedicated to her craft she is and how diverse her skills are. Johanna is truly incredible at what she does and I cannot recommend her enough!!

We hired DJ El Sid for our August 9th, 2025 wedding, and our reception was an absolute banger. Sid is super talented and is great at reading the crowd likely because he still actively DJs at clubs which is exactly what we were looking for. He had everyone on their feet dancing from our younger crowd of friends and cousins to our older family and friends. You know it’s a good party when you have a dachshund do the limbo and the men’s ties transfer to their head haha. We got SO many compliments on the DJ from our guests! Additionally, Sid did a fantastic job with the ceremony and grand entrances and dances, and MCing. We had 2-3 planning meetings with him via Zoom before the wedding, which were super helpful to get to know each other, ask questions, and share our music tastes and wishes. Fusion function also had an app where we could upload our songs for the ceremony, cocktail hour, entrances, first dances, and reception to keep everything organized and give Sid a vibe for our music style. Our wedding was an epic party to remember thanks to DJ El Sid!

First off, if you are debating hiring a coordinator or planner look no further. Cassie is THE best!! We hired Cassie just a few months before our big day after having some communication issues with our venues coordinators, and from the moment she joined, she went above and beyond to make everything perfect. She truly made our wedding stress-free and magical, handling every detail with incredible care. Cassie attended our final details meeting the day before the wedding, and our entire wedding party was blown away by her professionalism and calm demeanor. She guided the rehearsal effortlessly, making sure we were all on the same page, which made the big day run smoothly. On the wedding day, Cassie handled everything seamlessly. She helped with the little things, like holding my flowers and managing my dress during our first look. She coordinated with all of our vendors, set up our entire tent before the wedding, and even took care of the breakdown so we could just pick everything up the next day. We had some communication issues with our venue leading up to the wedding, but Cassie stepped in and resolved all of the details without us having to worry about a thing. If anything went wrong on the day of, we had no idea—she handled it all behind the scenes, she was so so awesome! Knowing she had it all under control gave us the peace of mind to fully enjoy our day. What truly touched us were the thoughtful extras. Cassie took photos and videos on her phone throughout the day, capturing moments and details we didn’t even think to ask for. Having those memories in addition to our photographers photos meant so much to us!! (I attached just a few for reference) Her ability to manage every detail flawlessly amazed me! Cassie truly is a miracle worker, a problem-solver, and a memory-maker all in one! Everyone loved her so much! I don’t know how we got so lucky!

The quality of their work was truly exceptional - the cake they created was not only delicious, but a true work of art. Lizzy helped me craft the most delicious and gorgeous cake - a lemon cake with lavender buttercream that was even more gorgeous than the Pinterest photos I showed her. Lizzie's Bakery truly made my cake dreams come true, and I would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

Devens Common Center was the perfect wedding venue for us. From the moment we first reached out, their communication style was immediate and helpful - if they didn't know the answer to one of our questions, they kept us updated while they researched it. The staff was incredibly friendly and patient with all of our many questions. The venue itself was beautiful and exactly what we were looking for - an all-inclusive package with a hotel on-site for our out-of-town guests. Devens was the ideal space for our special day, and we couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. We highly recommend this venue to any couples looking to host their wedding celebration.

Our daughter just celebrated her wedding this past weekend at the Kimpton Marlowe, and I can't imagine a more perfect experience! We visited quite a few venues that we loved, but once we found KM and Rachel, we knew we had found our place. I'm not sure where to begin! The planning process was never stressful thanks to Rachel's patience, professionalism and organizational skills. Our daughter lives out of state, and I can only imagine the insane amount of emails that flew back and forth between her and Rachel! She kept us all calm, and we were always confident that the day would be perfect because of her extraordinary efforts. The venue itself has everything a bridal party could want. It's in an accessible location for out of state visitors to explore Boston and Cambridge. The staff are all warm, friendly and eager to help with anything. The price is very reasonable; we had ruled out Boston/Cambridge because of our budget, but KM turned out to be right on target. There is convenient parking on site. We were offered a block of rooms in the hotel for an amazingly good price, so that our guests didn't have to worry about driving after a big party! The food was exceptional, from appetizers to dinner and even late night snacks of pizza, cookies and milk! The reception room was gorgeous and is very easy to work with because of the neutral colors. I think one of our favorite parts was that we had the entire second floor of the hotel to ourselves! The ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and even a room for the bride to retreat when she needed to change was all included. The younger guests danced until the very end, and the "older" parents and guests found a quiet spot to hang out in the lobby area outside of the reception hall, filled with comfortable sofas, chairs and tables. All who attended were happy with the many choices to party, relax and mingle. In my opinion, KM and Rachel are a still a hidden gem in the greater Boston area. I hope this review helps to get the word out that they are the place to go if you are looking for an affordable option with fabulous spaces, delicious food and most of all, an event planner who puts her heart and soul into everything she does. Thank you, KM and Rachel! 3

I come from a fashion photography background and now happily spend my time in the beautifully slow world of weddings. After living abroad for many years, I’ve returned to the States. Travel has always been part of my life, whether for fashion or weddings, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our engagement photos to our wedding day, Jaffer had us feeling at ease and comfortable. Neither of us likes having our picture taken, but it was very comfortable working with him. Both of our families raved about how fun and easy Jaffer was to work with after the big day, and we loved all of our pictures. Genuinely the most easy-going, fun photographer who has interesting shots planned and will guide you to something that is comfortable and representative of you as a couple or family. Jaffer has incredible listening skills and is everything you would want in a wedding photographer. I would definitely work with him again for other photography needs, and would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat!

It’s impossible to fully express how wonderful PAGU is, both as a standalone restaurant and as a wedding venue. As Cambridge residents, we had eaten here with friends and family and knew the food, drinks, and service were excellent, and I hosted a work event with a partial buy out that everyone enjoyed, so it quickly came to the top of our list after we got engaged and were looking into wedding venues. From the very beginning, the staff, especially event manager Amanda, were so easy to work with, and they were very flexible to make the space, menu, and overall wedding very personal to us. After a cocktail hour with both passed apps and stations, we opted to have a buffet style wedding so we could accommodate a variety of palettes (our families are from different cultures: Chinese/Indonesian and German/Italian), everyone could find something they liked, and we could show off a seafood paella in a large format paella pan. They even offered a Thai pesto dish that is not standard on their menu! They were also extremely conscientious about guests with food allergies, clearly marking them on menus, and even going to specific guests (especially those with celiac disease) and providing separate non-cross contaminated dishes. They also managed the flow of tables and buffet line efficiently and flawlessly, which can’t be overlooked, as we’ve been to weddings where this wasn’t the case. Our guests all told us it was the best wedding food and cocktails they’ve ever had, and we were so excited to share one of our favorite restaurants with them. The space was perfect for our 110 person wedding. The outdoor patio was a nice space for a cocktail hour and provided a quiet place to hang out when the dance floor later opened. The main restaurant is much larger than it looks, so it manages to feel intimate while still fitting over 100 people without feeling cramped. We had the DJ upstairs in the mezzanine like a real DJ booth, which allowed him to have a great read on the dance floor and assure no one was sitting right in front of a speaker. Finally, they cleared the front two large tables for a dance floor that was plenty large enough for everyone to dance for over 2 hours. Finally, we were thrilled to use our wedding to support a local business that not only has a mission to serve excellent food and drinks (they’ve received James Beard Award nominations!), but also to build community. Chef/owner Tracy Chang founded several nonprofits during COVID to provide economic relief to restaurant workers and donate meals to hospital workers, and she and PAGU have been hosting roundtable events to start conversations about sustainability, culture, and community. We first heard of PAGU after my sister went to a roundtable event about using invasive green crabs in cooking! We knew hosting a wedding was going to be an investment, and while we would have been so happy choosing PAGU for our wedding for the myriad of reasons above, we felt especially great about putting our investment into a place that cares about the world and community around it. We could not recommend PAGU enough for your wedding!
