  • Starts at $1,400

AUX Boston has the couple in mind who is looking for someone to capture their day in music in the same way you'd search for a wedding photographer to tell your story in a way that reflects you perfectly. A lot of time & care goes into your relationship, and so we know a lot of care goes into selecting the best "support team" on & before your big day. When it comes to music and MC'ing for your wedding, AUX Boston deeply cares about every aspect involved.

Aux Boston was an excellent choice for our wedding band and DJ. They were extremely thorough and detail-oriented in their communication. They were also super patient with us - we were slow to respond at times and he always helped us feel supported. The music was great. Michael did an amazing job of seamlessly incorporating our music playlists and was an incredible emcee, keeping the energy high. Our guests raved about him all night!! The overall quality of Aux Boston's work and value was excellent, and we highly recommend them for any couple looking for top-notch wedding DJ/emcee. :)

Whether you need a sandwich platter for 20 people or a barbecue for 2,000, Something Savory will help you create the perfect event.

Jodi catered our wedding reception at the Arlington Town Hall in June 2023. Through all the planning, she made great recommendations for both the food and entire layout. For starters, she created a delicious menu accommodating over a dozen allergies. The dessert pies that she recommended from a local bakery were amazing. Jodi was very easy to work with. She gave good advice on the floor plans and was very patient with us when we made multiple changes to the seating arrangement and table sizes. Her team setup our DIY decorations and made the reception hall beautiful. And the staff were a delight to work with. Among the lovely reception, and our guests enjoying the meals, did we enjoy the food on our wedding day? Of course not! Why? Because you don’t eat on your wedding day. Instead, they packed our leftover meal, our cake, and some drinks for us to enjoy after the wedding. Jodi has our highest recommendation.

With over 20+ years of photography experience, capturing life's smallest and biggest moments has been a passion of mine. Being able to encapsulate these candid moments is such a privilege; one that we don't take lightly!

We had an amazing experience working with Jenn, owner of Symula Media Group. From our engagement shoot, to our wedding day, Jenn was professional, personable, easy to work with, and very communicative during the process. She also has a fun, cool personality that put us at ease(being in photos can feel SO AWKWARD) and had my photo-shy husband saying "wow, she was a great find!"(direct quote). On to the quality of her work: Our photos for our engagement shoot and wedding turned out beautifully. Jenn took in to consideration the types of shots we were looking for, and checked in with us to make sure our visions remained aligned. She is skilled at her craft and delivered magazine worthy shots -- from posed family photos, to capturing the most precious candid moments between us, our family, and our friends. Seriously, she was like a ninja the way she stealthily put herself exactly where the moments were happening. I cannot say enough good things about Jenn and her company Symula Media Group! You won't be disappointed if you book with her!

PK And The Mighty Seven 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Arlington, MA

PK and the Mighty Seven has been celebrating with newly married couples since 2016! We were originally formed as a Jamiroquai tribute band, playing mostly music by the famed UK group along with other songs we enjoyed. Since that time, we've expanded our song list and played many weddings, which we love to do!

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.

Devens Common Center (DCC) was the perfect venue for our wedding. We switched venues 3 weeks before our wedding date due to issues with our original venue. The DCC staff were extremely helpful, caring and compassionate with working with us on such a tight timeline. Everything was well detailed from the food, day-of timeline, and more. They even took flower arrangements from our ceremony at a church and set them up around the head table - a great touch that we did not even plan or ask for. We were their top priority the entire night, with staff constantly checking in with my husband and I to see if we needed anything. Now that we had our wedding reception there, I could not have pictured it perfectly anywhere else. A special thank you to Ashley and Steve who were extra thoughtful and helpful throughout the entire process and event.

Hey there! I’m Chris, and I’m stoked to be part of your wedding journey. My goal is to help make your day everything you’ve dreamed of. I'll even bring some dog treats. You can count on me to keep things stress-free—no “photographer attitude” here. If the timeline gets off track, I’ll help get it back on schedule so you can enjoy your meal. Based in Boston, I love traveling for weddings, especially intimate gatherings of 100-150 guests. I’m a huge fan of venues like barns, ski resorts, and castles. Capturing vibrant, cinematic images is my passion, and I focus on true-to-life editing—no overexposed skies or unnatural skin tones!

I am beyond grateful we hired Chris as our wedding photographer. From our first time talking I knew he was the right fit. He went above and beyond to make this the best experience. From meeting us in advance and even scouting photo spots at the venue when we visited, to preparing an iron clad schedule with room for flexibility, to making me an electrolyte drink so I'd stay hydrated during the morning prep, and making us laugh and stay present throughout the day, we couldn't have been happier with our experience. Chris has an innate ability to connect with anyone and he made all of us feel at ease, which helped our authentic emotions shine through in the photos. We knew we wanted a photographer that could capture all the feelings in a unique, artistic and fun way, and Chris did all that and more. Our wedding photos are beautiful, precious memories that truly allow us to relive each moment, and I am so grateful for that gift. Chris was one of the best investments we made for our wedding, and he truly made the day even more special for us and our families. 1,000 out of 10 recommend!

  • Serves Arlington, MA

Hey there! Katie here. I'm a scenic artist for theater by day and a videographer by night(s and weekends)! Keepsakes by Katie originally started as a nameless passion project to film a home-movie-style cross-country road trip with friends back in 2017. I found myself most interested in filming my friends as they were, and that's the same approach I've taken to my wedding films - candid storytelling, capturing real moments of your day in real time.

The moments of our wedding were captured so well by Katie. Her attention to the small details and the story telling through her videos allowed us to collect moments of our wedding that we as the bride and groom weren’t able to see or be apart of. We’re so thankful that we chose her to film our wedding and would recommend her talents to anyone!!

Hey there! This is Amy. I am an engineer by day and photographer by night (and weekends). I am always looking for new opportunities to take more pictures, especially in awesome new locations. Reach out to discuss your next photoshoot, whether that is in Boston or on a far away mountaintop!

Awarded Best of Zola
Amy is a gem to work with! She is flexible with our unusual wedding schedule and was communicative the entire time. One of the things that really made us decide on picking Amy was her way of editing photos. She keeps the photos true to color but more enhanced and higher quality. It still looks very bridal and clean but without the weird tinted filter that many other photographers use. Highly recommend Amy and her team for all types of photography needs!!

Hi! I’m Amanda, and I am deeply inspired by the opportunity I have to tell love stories every single day. I specialize in sharing your special moments, capturing your joy, and exploring your unique and beautiful world through my lens.

  • Photographer

  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Arlington, MA

Hi there! I'm Nia, a wedding and elopement photographer based in Boston, MA but obsessed with traveling. I love the days when I stumble upon a new landscape, learn something new from a stranger or aimlessly drive until I end up somewhere decent. This is why I love storytelling. My favorite stories to tell are by far the love shared between two people. Storytelling and making a moment last is what drew me to photography. Documenting your day in an honest, soulful way that shows who you are is what I strive for.

Awarded Best of Zola
We recently had the pleasure of working with Nia for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. From the moment we met her, her easy-going nature put us at ease. She made us feel comfortable and genuinely connected with us. We are both somewhat camera shy and she made the entire process from our engagement photos to our wedding SO fun. We wanted our event captured candidly and she truly did that. The turnaround time for our sneak peak photos was impressively fast and they exceeded our expectations. Each photo beautifully captured the emotions of the day, and we loved that they felt authentic and true to us. If you're looking for a photographer who is personable, communicative, and delivers stunning work, we wholeheartedly recommend Nia.

Sweet Mazie's Baked Goods

  • Cakes & desserts
  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Arlington, MA

For as long as I can remember, I've loved being in the kitchen, and have been told that I remind people of my grandma, Mazie, who passed from cancer when my dad was young. While I've spent more hours than most in the kitchen (often at odd hours), my career led me in another direction. However, I've repeatedly been told "you should open a bakery!" Through years of education, baking has been my therapy, and brought happiness to my colleagues' stomaches as well. After being diagnosed with cancer at a young age myself, I've realized the importance of pursuing your passions, and with the support of my family, I pursued baking as a second job.

Awarded Best of Zola
Nicole as Sweet Mazie's is my go-to for cakes and cookies! She has created the most beautiful designs for my family birthday parties and as well as for couples who I work with for their wedding days! Nicole has made some of the most delicious wedding cakes I've ever tasted, and her cookies make for the perfect wedding favor!

Copper Penny Flowers exceeded our greatest expectations with everything. Jen the owner, an all her staff, are an absolute pleasure to work with and her knowledge is incredible. She even helped me with advice outside of flowers when I was looking for a little extra guidance. People still talk about our aisle.... Jen figured out a way to have sunflowers line the aisle on both sides. I’m talking she put little holes in the ground for each one, planted them that morning and they stood beautifully alongside petals on the ground. It was like nothing I’ve ever seen. People still talk about it, along with this wagon wheel chandelier that they covered in gorgeous blooms. The creativity, professionalism and quality are just a few things that sets Copper Penny apart. Get ready for compliments to follow even long after your big day! Thank you Copper Penny!
