PK And The Mighty Seven 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Ayer, 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.

I believe Katie was still in the early stages of beginning her wedding videography business when we reached out to her for our July, 2023 wedding, but you would never have known it. I was so pleased with everything from the get-go and her prices were more than fair. She was communicative, timely, professional, and friendly. We just watched our wedding video again for our anniversary and I'm just as thrilled as I was the first time. I would not hesitate to book Katie for any other videography needs in the future!

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.

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!!

The Center for Arts at the Armory is a beautiful wedding venue that we've had the pleasure of working with multiple times. The communication with the venue manager is always excellent - they do a thorough walkthrough with us prior to the event and ensure that day-of staff are informed of our needs. The space itself is beautiful, providing a great setting for a wedding or event. As a catering company, we love working at The Center for Arts at the Armory and would highly recommend it to any couples looking for an elegant and well-run venue for their special day.

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!!

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. Not to mention her incredible skills as a makeup artist made me and my bridesmaids look and feel our absolute best. I can't thank Janis and Sue Ellen enough for their incredible contributions to our special day - I highly recommend Beautiful Faces by Janis to any couple planning their wedding!

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. I've been photographing weddings, couples, families, and brands since 2016, and have been creating and telling stories professionally since '09. In a different life I was an event producer and music photographer, having photographed everyone from Nas to Fiona Apple. On a good day you can find me in my home office surrounded by plants and cats, snacking on a burrito while listening to a podcast + editing photos.

We hired Amanda for a package including an engagement shoot and the wedding day. Amanda and her assistant Mike have been an absolute pleasure to work with and we could not be more pleased with how the photos have turned out. Seriously, it feels like we got pieces of keepsake art instead of just generic wedding photos/documentation of the event. Also, Amanda was wonderful at communicating, flexible when the forecast threatened to ruin our engagement shoot, and helped reassure us and pivot when we had inclement weather on our wedding day (even capitalizing on it and getting an amazing shot with a rainbow). On the day-of she brought a calm chill vibe and was great at capturing candid moments as well as moving people/arranging group shots without being bossy or invasive. As a same-gender couple, Amanda was great to work with- she used inclusive language, was affirming and sensitive asking about our family's involvement/support, and also made sure to learn/ask about our respective cultures (we're Indian/Jewish) to make sure she captured what was most important to us. We would highly recommend her to anyone.

  • Serves Ayer, 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 

5.0

  • Cakes & desserts
  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Ayer, 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.

Our wedding cake was by far my favorite detail on our wedding day. It was the first thing I saw when we arrived at the venue, and I cried happy tears because it was more perfect than I ever could have imagined. Nicole did an absolutely incredible job bringing our vision to life by including our dog in the most special and creative way on the cake. Nicole is professional and communicative, fun and easy to work with, fairly priced, and most importantly, an extremely talented baker and wonderful human. Her cake was DELICIOUS (I’ll dream about the icing for the rest of time!) For whatever occasion you’re celebrating, Sweet Mazie’s will undoubtedly exceed your expectations. Thank you so much, Nicole! We’re so grateful.

Champagne & Confetti: Celebrations by Catalina

  • Offers 3 services
  • Serves Ayer, MA

We are an award-winning, design-forward, bespoke event-planning company reimagining luxury celebrations. Creative, colorful, and avant-garde designs are a cornerstone of our success. Inspired by our client's unique personalities and ideas, we act as the architect, interior designer, and general contractor for every event we produce.

Awarded Best of Zola
Catalina will put on the wedding you've always dreamed about. Her monthly meetings come with recommendations for venues and vendors, leaving you to just point and choose what you'd like. For busy people like my wife and me, it was a huge weight off our shoulders. We've watched all our friends plan their own weddings, and the stress it adds to your life just isn't worth it. You want to have fun, not a year's worth of additional chores. I could go on about how Catalina took our out-of-the-box ideas and brought them to life -- a movie poster, seconds looks that look like they belonged at the Met Gala, etc -- but the bottom line is this: she works unbelievably hard and dedicates the entire month leading up to your wedding for only you. On your big day, she is running around like a Taylor Swift concert coordinator, lining everything up so you just have to smile for the photos and remember your vows. We had so many friends who said our wedding was the most coordinated (and fun) they've ever been to. Others have told us how the event planner who came with their venue wasn't great. That person is looking out for the venue's interest, not yours, and often on the wedding day they'll disappear. Catalina is always within shouting distance and has eyes on you the whole time. The upfront cost of bringing on a planner is manageable. Find 10% of your wedding budget and dedicate it to her for the best results. Instead of fancy plates and tableware, go standard. Bring down the guest list if possible. Those sacrifices are worth it to afford her perfection.

  • Serves Ayer, MA

Music is a lifeblood of life's journey: a universal language that invokes emotion and creates memories; and when thoughtfully and passionately curated into a soundtrack, custom-tailored to specifications, preferences and tastes, the outcome is truly magical, noteworthy, and filled with joy, sentiment, and connection. 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.

Denise was an absolute JOY to work with for my wedding! From our very first contact, it was clear that she's a consummate professional with a true passion for her work, who makes her clients feel heard and cared for. Throughout the planning process, she was in tune with all of our needs and preferences (no small feat when the bride and groom are both musicians with strong opinions), and day-of she knocked it out of the park with her taste and talent. Her thoughtful programming, fabulous emcee skills, and ability to read the room ensured that guests had a marvelous time throughout the entire evening. I would strongly recommend her to anybody looking to throw a top-notch event!
