It all started with COVID-19—not fully, but pretty much. Before I found my passion for weddings, It was during these intimate ceremonies that I realized wedding photography was what I was truly meant to do. But I’m going to let you in on something I’ve never really shared before—I don't like my wedding photos. I didn't connect with my wedding photographer, I went with the cheaper option and it totally shows in my pictures. That’s why connecting with you, your fiancé, your family, and your friends is so important to me.

The quality of her work was truly amazing - impeccable and superb in every way. We were extremely comfortable working with Danielle, and she was incredibly receptive to the specific photos we wanted to capture our special day. She never pushed or rushed us, allowing us to simply enjoy the moment. Do not hesitate to hire Danielle Littles Photography - she is fantastic to work with and we cannot recommend them highly enough!

Danny Tognacci and Melissa O'Donnell created absolute magic for my wedding day! Not only did they transform me into the glowing bride I envisioned, but they also worked their artistry on my five bridesmaids.

Stephanie was perfect in every way. I was doubting even needing a day of coordinator and I honestly can say we would not have had as special of a day without her. Stephanie and Brianna always had the answer and kept everything moving slowly. I was impressed how they made sure everything was taken care of, but stayed in the background through each part of the ceremony then reception. She always had GREAT patience with changes and groomsmen. I truly cannot sing her praises enough.

We had a phenomenal experience with Luis as our wedding DJ! Planning a wedding out of state (and in a different time zone) was quite a challenge and when starting the initial search for DJ's, Luis was the only one out of everybody we reached out to that didn't require us to get on a phone call to go over pricing, so that was an automatic green flag off the bat. From the moment we booked Luis, communication was present. I feel like a lot of people I've talked with book their DJ, have one meeting, and see them at the wedding, but that was not our experience with Luis. We had a few meetings, several text chains, and certainly felt the line was always open if we needed something. One of my favorite things was Luis' hype texts the week of as if he was one of our people actually attending the wedding. Luis did everything we wanted at the ceremony and reception in regard to announcements and mic ups. We left Luis in charge of the music selection for the reception and from our personal experience and a few friend's comments, he did a great job with his selection! Luis was great before the wedding, during the wedding, and even after the wedding, and I cannot recommend him enough!

Their Garden Courtyard offers a beautiful area for ceremonies that is surrounded by beautifully-manicured gardens. For your reception, their Grandview Ballroom is surrounded by windows with views overlooking their pristine golf course. There is a separate lounge area for a cocktail hour that also includes an outdoor patio area.

Cannot recommend this place enough! We had the most beautiful wedding on September 21, 2024. Donna was very pleasant to work with and made the wedding planning process very easy for us. The bridal suite is gorgeous as well as the entire venue. I was surprised by how amazing the food was! There is a tasting event that happens in February for couples getting married that year, which was a lot of fun to attend. The food at the tasting was good, but it was even better on our wedding day. One of the best filet's we had in a while. Not to mention, it rained on our wedding day, which was a bummer at first because the garden where the ceremony sight is is absolutely stunning...but we had our ceremony indoors which was equally beautiful because the room has big windows, so you get the feel of an outdoor ceremony with views overlooking the golf course. Overall we are so happy we chose Pleasant Valley for our venue and we can't wait to go back for our anniversary dinner!

I'm Steph, a wanderer at heart, but I'm back to my New England roots living in MA with my husband, and our son, two dogs, and a cat. Becoming a mom has changed me in so many ways, and it's given me a new perspective, especially when it comes to taking photographs. We live in such a fast-paced society focused on Instagram "likes" and trends, that I feel as though we often miss the point of this thing called life. I love capturing the "in-between" moments, and making sure you don't feel rushed on your wedding day. I want to bring back the coffee table photo albums and sharing photos and stories, not scrolling through your socials.

Awarded Best of Zola
We found our forever photographer. Ashley and I were lucky enough to find Steph when looking for a wedding photographer. Little did we know we would be finding a friend and someone we will ask to take all future photos. Steph instantly won us over with not only her insane photography skills, but her personality. As people that don’t love to be in front of the camera, she made us feel comfortable and able to act like ourselves. We interviewed a handful of photographers, but after one call we knew she was our girl. She showed genuine interest in us as individuals as well as the success of our upcoming wedding. She took time to get to know us and that came out in the photographs. I could probably write at least 6 more paragraphs singing her praise, but to cut it short if you’re looking for a photographer, she’s the one and the only one to consider.

Known for their expertise in event planning, this property hosts around 100 weddings and corporate events a year. This casual venue attracts guests from Massachusetts & Southern New Hampshire on wedding weekends, and business travelers from Tyco International throughout the week. With a restaurant and catering service onsite, The Colonial Hotel provides unparalleled service & event expertise for their guests. The Colonial Grille, offers a variety of functionality from rehearsal dinners to birthday parties and everything in between. The restaurant provides a local draw from the Gardner, MA area and contributes to the property’s off-season push throughout the months of January – March.

Mary and her team at the Colonial were amazing. They walk you through everything and make it easy to keep track of what you need to bring and what you need to do when. You can tell this is a popular wedding spot just by how streamlined they have made everything. This is a group tasting vendor where they bring in everyone for the year; however, they make the tasting fun and you get to meet affiliated vendors that you can choose to book with. The grounds are beautiful and cozy while being easy to get to. They made our day seamless. I was worried, because most people I spoke with before the wedding said to just go with the flow because something always goes wrong, and to be honest, I felt like nothing did; I feel like that's because the Colonial and their vendors really cared about making our day special.

Hyland Orchard is a magical spot to say 'I Do'! The experience begins with a wagon ride whisking your guests to the perfect spot atop the Orchard of over a thousand apple trees, with views of three neighboring towns. After the Ceremony, is the Pavilion Reception. The Pavilion has sliding walls- which means your 'outdoor' wedding is rainproof! The Pavilion has lights strung throughout to create an unmatched rustic ambiance. Our one-of-a-kind property shines with features including a raw edge custom wood bar, large stone fire pit, sprawling lawn, a barnyard crew (lovable mini horses, goats and a llama), a greenhouse with adjacent floral gardens and acres upon acres for amazing photo opportunities! May- October available (mid September through October ONLY Friday weddings) Fri/Sun: $3,000; Sat $4,000.

I cannot thank Hyland (and design by doe) enough. We had our wedding 8/27/22 and it was everything we dreamed and more. Doe was extremely responsive, knowledgeable, prepared, and made our day perfect. Our guests raved about how beautiful the property was and how cool they thought the tractor ride up to the ceremony site was. The fire pit was another extra touch you don’t see at other venues. So many unique things that make it that much more special. We had 115 guests and there was plenty of room for dancing. We easily could’ve had another 30 (which is what we planned on). I can’t say enough good things and if I could do it all over I’d choose Hyland every time.

I take pride in the relationships I build with my clients as well as the work I provide. I am willing to travel to your home, on-site venues, or even your hotel room!

Nicole had done my hair for my wedding last April and she exceeded my expectations! I had just moved to Massachusetts and was’t sure where to go to get my hair done on the biggest day of my life. Not to mention I have long thick curly hair. I sent her an inspo pic of an old Hollywood glam look and she knocked it out the park! I felt so beautiful the day of my wedding. The best part was that the hairstyle and curls lasted throughout the night and even the next day. I booked again for my second reception a couple weeks later. Luckily, she squeezed me into her busy schedule that week and had done another beautiful hair style on me. I had the best experience with Nicole! Her professionalism and experience in hair styling are excellent. I plan on booking with her again.

I started photographing weddings in 2017. I originally got my first camera to photograph landscapes- National Parks specifically. But the second the camera was in my hands, I was immediately drawn to photographing connections between people. Since that moment I haven't hesitated while my heart led me in the direction of wedding and elopement photography! I love documenting the in-between, unprompted moments; the subtle way your partner glances over at you with a side smile when you're not paying attention, the groom fiddling with his new ring, and the uncontrollable laughter when you're melting into each other during your couple's photos.

Tammy, there is not enough praise in this world for what you deserve for truly creating the most magical elopement day. From the moment we started talking, Tammy filled our imagination with ideas, plans and picture locations to help make our wedding special. She did not hesitate when we decided to elope in Acadia National Park and sent over research and location ideas of where to hold our ceremony. She was attentive to the details that were most important to us and really allowed us to create our perfect day. Not only did she help plan our elopement day but day of she arrived early and was able to help create the excitement and long lasting memories. With her creative eye, she found the most perfect spot for us to have our first look. With great skill, she professionally moved the wedding party along to be to stay true to the ceremony timeline and the National Park entrance time (which is a feat to coordinate 7 guests, a dog and a bus driver). With not having a wedding planner (or any guest focused on timeline) it was so helpful to have Tammy to take charge and gather the group. Lastly, but certainly not least, she made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We dont normally enjoy being the center of attention, she had us move naturally and cued us to be confident in front of the camera. With her upbeat personality and lots of laughs, the pictures captured our excitement and love while we eloped. She didn’t hesitate for a second when we asked for our dog to be in almost every picture us and was able to capture. She read my mind as taking pictures from different angles and of the landscape around us. Thank you Tammy for making our dream surprise elopement a reality! Not only was it the most perfect day, but now we have pictures that capture the emotions and celebration of our wedding!

One of the biggest things our guests told us before the wedding was that they wanted to DANCE as much as possible. We also knew a DJ can make or break the vibe of the reception. Michael was awesome! He made the whole process leading up to the wedding easy and he kept our dance floor packed all night. He played something for every generation in attendance as was very in-tune with what people wanted to hear and when they needed a break. Far beyond your average mediocre wedding DJ. Would absolutely work with Michael again for future events.

As this was during the Covid pandemic, we had multiple conversations regarding the safety of both the performers and the guests and all of our concerns were taken very seriously. Sarah was a pleasure to work with and we hope to be able to work future events together
