5.0

Easthampton, MA
  • Venue
  • Up to 200 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $6,600

Founded in 1814, The West Boylston Company was a large textile manufacturer in West Boylston, MA. At the turn of the century the company faced a crisis: the site of their mill would be flooded to form the Wachusett Reservoir. Instead of abandoning the mill, the company dismantled it brick by brick and shipped it to its new home in Easthampton, where it was rebuilt on the banks of the Lower Mill Pond. Now, a century later, The Boylston Rooms retains the integrity of the 1814 original mill in every brick and beam. Our rental includes planners and decor at no added cost. Whatever your style, with over 140 pieces of decor, if you can picture it in the space, we can make it happen.

Our planning process and wedding day would not have been as perfect as it was if it weren’t for Erin, Myles, Jen, and all of The Boylston Rooms staff. Erin and Myles made the entire wedding planning process seamless and enjoyable.

  • Serves Hampden, MA

From the first moment my grandfather placed a Sony Cybershot in my hands at age 13, I knew the magic of capturing life's most profound and intimate moments was meant for me. Now, after nearly 24 years behind the lens, what began as a childhood hobby has become everything to me. My commitment to you as your photographer is to apply my skill, creative mind, and decades of experience to your occasion so you have fantastic, tangible memories to look back on years from now. I have made it my goal to become proficient across a wide range of photographic/editing styles, in order to better serve the needs and preferences of each individual client.

Awarded Best of Zola
My partner and I were looking for an affordable, creative photographer who could work with a couple that had no idea what they were doing—and Johnny was absolutely perfect for us! From the start, Johnny was incredibly flexible and made us feel completely at ease on the day of our wedding. Despite us giving him no direction, he managed to capture beautiful, candid shots that we absolutely adore. If you have a specific vision for your wedding photos, I highly recommend sharing it with him—he’s so talented and I’m confident he’ll bring your ideas to life. Even months after our wedding, Johnny was patient and accommodating, re-editing photos to suit our preferences, which we deeply appreciated. If you’re looking for a stress-free experience with an easygoing yet artistic photographer, hire Johnny—you won’t regret it!

I booked Justine for our wedding in September to do hair and makeup on myself and both of our moms. Everyone’s hair & makeup came out beautifully & stayed soo well throughout the day and night. I had a partial updo with curls that were intact the whole time!! We loved the enhanced natural looks Justine gave us as none of us wear makeup that often. Justine’s calming presence was so nice and eased all of our jitters. Everyone kept saying how relaxing and peaceful the whole experience was getting ready. She was very accommodating for my mom as she is in a wheelchair and sewed my mom’s dress. Since starting to speak with her to book she was punctual, professional & kind. She eased my anxious mind when I was worried about my hair being too short when all curled. If I could do it all again I’d re-book her every time! Can’t thank her enough and make any higher recommendations for future brides to book Justine for their weddings!!

Kelsey Haley Media

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,850
  • Serves Hampden, MA

I'm a Massachusetts-based wedding photographer. My pronouns are She/Her. I'm just trying to make people feel comfortable in front of a camera. I use a mix of poses and prompts to create natural movement and emotion.

Kelsey did our engagement photos and will do our wedding photos next year. My fiance and I are both self-conscious people and so we were really worried that we would feel uncomfortable in front of the camera and ultimately not like the way we looked in photos. However, Kelsey is such a ray of sunshine and delight to work with that our anxieties quickly melted away. She knew all the spots to take photos and tricks to loosen us up, but more importantly we just felt so comfortable around her! We received our photos quickly and everyone has been in awe of them- they are SO gorgeous. Her online platform is easy to navigate, so downloading photos is easy, and her pricing is extremely reasonable. We are so excited that Kelsey will be photographing our wedding in January, and we would happily work with her over and over again. She is a skilled creative, a savvy business owner, and a very good person.

Photography is my passion. As a third generation photographer, it's in my blood! My grandfather opened a photography studio in Chicopee during the 1940's. Growing up, I spent hours looking at family photos, studying the faces of friends and loved ones. I read the hand written notes on the back of the pictures and I was taken back to the exact moment the photograph was taken. Even if the picture was snapped long before my birth, I could feel the emotion from that time. Photographs were and continue to be an absolute treasure in my household.

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Danielle. She had great communication leading up to the day and created a detailed itinerary. She was enthusiastic and so helpful from the moment she arrived through the 8 hours she stayed with us. She captured everything and more with such beauty. She gave us space as a couple while still photographing every portrait and moment we wanted and also got beautiful candids we will always cherish. We definitely recommend and will book her again for all future events.

When we started planning our July wedding, we knew that we wanted a beautiful, eco-conscious, outdoor venue in the rolling Massachusetts hills where we could host guests for the whole weekend and people could camp and sit by a fire at night. We weren’t sure we’d find someplace that checked all those boxes; then we found the Montague Retreat Center. It was everything we were looking for and more. We loved that we had the whole weekend to see our guests and that they got to know the place, too. The Center already has a tent set up for the reception, and the venue was so well set up with its own furniture and catering-ready kitchen, that other vendors kept telling us how delighted they were to be going back there. We had around 100 guests, about 25 of which camped at the Center. The camp site is in a pine forest on the property, and our camping guests were all very happy with their stay and with the facilities. A lot happens in a wedding weekend, but the staff is prepared for anything and everything. The caretaker, John, was particularly notable in how quickly and quietly he took care of the facilities while we were there. We’d turn around and he’d have taken care of the trash or put another few logs on the fire. It was easy and wonderful. It was wonderful to have things like lights already set up, and a room of wedding decorations others have left to reuse or leave instead of stress about bringing everything and cleaning it all up. We were glad they compost everything and the facility even runs on geo-thermal heating/cooling. We took the Retreat Center’s recommendations for almost all of our vendors, and they were all wonderful (especially Wheelhouse Catering for our reception and Jackie M coordinating all of our vendors and the day of the wedding). We got flowers from Red Fire Farm, and sent our guests to check out the Montague Book Mill (and took photos there ourselves!). We are so glad we found the Montague Retreat Center!
