We used Comeketo for our rehearsal dinner in The Berkshires. They were so responsive and made the process so much fun! We got to go to their restaurant and sample all the food and they were kind enough to do a rodizio style at our venue in The Berkshires! It was such a fun & different way to serve food, people are still talking about it. Not to mention, the food was delicious and there was such a wide variety. The team at Comeketo was fantastic to work with!

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I hired Madison as our day of coordinator. We did not hire a florist and ended up doing a lot of DIY projects for our wedding decor. We really wanted a professional to help us with setup and take-down of decor on the wedding day, so as not to burden our family/friends and take them away from the event to help. Madison was so friendly in the months leading up to the wedding and offered us lots of helpful advice on things we didn't even think to prepare for, like arranging seating charts and timing of processional songs. Our original venue coordinator ended up having to move away just a couple weeks before our wedding day, and Madison took the lead in syncing with the new venue coordinator on all the things we'd talked about. This really helped us out and took a load off our plate in those last few weeks before the wedding! The day of, she came early to the venue and, like a fairy godmother, had incorporated all of our decorations beautifully before we even arrived, so we were able to take lots of photos beforehand! Throughout the event, she cleverly found ways to repurpose some of our decor items to give them a second life, like setting reception flower arrangements along the room's bookshelves to dress them up for the ceremony, making a beautiful display with our ceremony roses and boutonnieres on our memory table, and using me and my bridesmaids' bouquets to create a beautiful sweetheart table arrangement! We were so incredibly thrilled with how well Madison and her team were able to follow our vision and exceed our expectations. A final sweet memory I have from near the end of the night - my hair was getting very tangled with my dress buttons on my back from dancing, and I was overheating and sweaty. Madison and her team arranged my hair into a beautiful low bun style so I could go back and have fun dancing again without worrying about it tangling further or looking bad. :) I'm so thankful we hired Madison as our day of coordinator, and we can't recommend her enough!!

They are masters behind the camera but also true professionals. They arrived on time, maintained a friendly and approachable demeanor and made us feel at ease.

From the moment we first inquired about hosting our wedding at Harding Allen Estate, the team was incredibly timely, friendly, understanding, encouraging and welcoming. Their attention to detail and commitment to making our day special was unparalleled. The venue itself is simply gorgeous, with a fun and whimsical, almost fairy tale-like atmosphere. We were given the freedom to be silly, unique and move about the property as if we were all old friends, finding nooks and crannies to sit and talk for hours. One of our favorite memories was when I wanted a silly picture in the library, and the staff made sure the gentleman there stayed hidden, allowing us to play and giggle like kids in the dorms.

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.

Working with Stephannie was an absolute dream. She is incredibly down-to-earth, friendly, and so easy to talk to, which instantly made me feel at ease. Her talent is unmatched—her photos truly took my breath away. I’ve always disliked taking pictures, but Stephannie has a unique way of directing without being pushy. She captured the magic of the day so naturally, making every moment feel authentic and beautiful. She’s also amazing with family dynamics, expertly navigating strong personalities while keeping things organized and stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to document such an important day. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for stunning photography and a wonderful experience!

Brian is one of the best wedding DJs in the business. In the past two years I’ve been to eight different weddings. Brian was the DJ for three of the eight, and the party/reception component of the events was never more fun than when Brian was driving the bus. He is an east coast DJ, but he spun tracks at both of my sister-in-laws’ weddings and as we were searching for a DJ for our own wedding we reached out just to see what he would charge for a wedding in Chicago. Turns out the price was right. Brian traveled to Chicago, MC’d our entire wedding, brought all of the equipment necessary and made our day exceptional in every way. I think there are a few things that really set Brian apart from other wedding DJs. Anyone can stand there and run through a playlist, but Brian went off book a few times to match and capture the energy of the guests. As we were in the midst of the planning process he added zero stress, and just calmly walked us through the process of selecting songs. He had suggestions and recommendations along the way. He even brought an extra speaker so that we could plug our digital piano in and the pianist would be able to play loudly enough. Overall, we can’t recommend Brian highly enough. You will not regret choosing him to DJ at your wedding, party, event. Whatever it is, Brian is a huge value add and a pleasure to work with.

We discovered this venue through Zola and fell in love with it immediately from the very first look online. Right away, we knew it felt like the perfect place for our wedding day! We scheduled a tour on January 29, 2023, and brought our parents along because we wanted to see if they liked it as much as we did. Seeing the venue in person, we knew it was the perfect place to celebrate our wedding. Moira showed us every detail of the property, including the Barn and the Winthrop Room (the two reception spaces), the Alpheus Room (indoor ceremony space), the patio, and the beautiful lawn where we could take family, wedding party, and bride-and-groom photos. By the end of the tour, we knew this was the one, and we officially booked our wedding for October 26, 2024. Throughout the planning process, the venue staff’s professionalism and experience stood out. Moira was able to answer any and all questions we had about any aspect of the wedding from the dimensions of the arbor in the Alpheus room to special meal accommodations for a guest. Also, we initially planned our ceremony for 5 PM but realized that with our late-October date, we wouldn’t have enough daylight for formal photos after the ceremony. We talked to Moira, and we were able to adjust the timeline, pushing the ceremony earlier so we could capture outdoor photos before sunset. On the big day, everything exceeded our expectations! The food was a highlight, with our guests raving about all of the food, which included filet of beef, grilled salmon, vegetable lasagna, and chicken tenders for all the kids (or kids at heart). The venue also ensured that we had some food to eat during the photo session during cocktail hour to make sure that we were happy and not hangry while taking pictures! Because of the earlier ceremony time, we were able to utilize the gazebo on the property for some formal photos and a first look with Kayla and her dad before the ceremony. During the cocktail hour, we took the remaining photos out on the lawn with the stunning fall colors as a backdrop. Overall, The Barn at Wight Farm supported us in every way and did everything necessary to give us the wedding of our dreams. We can’t recommend it more!

We booked Hyland Orchard for our 9.27.24 wedding and it was simply the best decision we made! This venue is absolutely stunning and amazing to work with! If you’re looking to book here and have the option to hire Doe, DO IT! She was my go to person with wedding planning and made the process way easier! We also hired her for her beautiful rental decor & florals! She absolutely killed it and it could not have turned out better. Everyone loved the florals & decor! My bouquet & the bridesmaids were breathtaking and she nailed all my inspo I sent her! She did our arbor also and it was stunning!! She’s truly an amazing person and really cares about all of your wants and needs! & bonus because she makes it happen!! Overall If I could have done anything different I wouldn’t have! She made sure everything went smoothly and we had the best day getting married on the hilltop overlooking the orchard!! 10000/000 recommend having your wedding at Hyland Orchard and hiring Doe! It’s the perfect rustic orchard wedding!! Thank you Doe for everything you did for Bryce and I- we appreciate it more than you know!!

B. Remembered Photography did a fantastic job capturing the special moments from our wedding day. Their online intake form made it simple to communicate what we envisioned, and the team was great about following up to ensure they understood our preferences. We appreciated their range of editing styles and felt they balanced both classic and trendy beautifully. The photos turned out wonderfully - true to what we discussed while still having their artistic touch. Norm, our photographer, was so sweet, helpful, and unobtrusive on the day! He made us all feel like natural models and kept the energy high during the staged photos! We were thrilled by how quickly we received the final gallery after the event. The B. Remembered team brought our vision to life and provided us memories we'll treasure forever.

Hola, My name is Geri! I always joke that my passion for all things beauty started in 4th grade after a tragic haircut from my father. I have been in the industry for about 12 years and every day I fall more in love with it. I started off as an assistant and now specializing in bridal hair and makeup. My ongoing education has allowed to learn so many new techniques and has given me the confidence in helping others feel their absolute best for any occasion. I love being able to connect with new people and i’m very fortunate to have been able to be a part of so many special memories.  I look forward to adding more!

Geri has years of experience and it has been a joy to have worked with her through the years and will continue for our 2024 Brides this year, Hair and Makeup with Geri is a unique experience, she is efficient, considerate of the timing process, and gets clients done to perfection even under short timeframes. She listens to what YOU want and follows your vision. I am looking forward to working with Geri as we enter into a very busy 2024 season. THANK YOU GERI

We provide timeless, true-to-color wedding photography that will tell the story of one of the happiest days of your life! If you need your photographer to be in two places at the same time, and you want more candid shots and more angles covered, WE ARE YOUR TEAM!

We hired Petit Eclair for our wedding and are so glad that we did!! My husband and I are both not very comfortable in front of the camera so we were nervous for our wedding. However, we found Daria and had the chance to meet with her over coffee to talk about our day, our history, our goals, and what we wanted out of a photographer. Fast forward to our wedding day. She arrived early to our venue, was cognizant of me and my girls getting ready and was able to capture all the small details without me remembering she did (she’s that amazing!!). Daria was able to photograph myself and my girls while her husband photographed my husband and his groomsmen. This was so helpful so that she didn’t miss any small moment to capture. During the ceremony at our church they both captured everything, including the small glances we gave each other, family and friend reactions, and they were very respectful of being in a church. The rest of the day went so smoothly as they came with us to several locations to shoot with our wedding party. What I really loved was that she brought a list of the poses I wanted to have done (that I told her months prior over coffee), so she could help make sure we got those done. I forgot i had requested them and I think it was so thoughtful to have remembered :) They were both SO easy going, kind, but also kept us on track if we needed to move along to keep on schedule for the day. I honestly couldn’t recommend a better wedding photographer than petit eclair. Their photos are natural, light, bright, and genuine. You won’t find anyone better!

Why you'll love this venue

  • Provides setup and cleanup

Venue considerations

  • Not for you if you are looking for something nontraditional
  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists
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.

We loved how he asked what songs we definitely wanted played, if we were dedicating songs to anyone and he was very hands on with helping us decide on song and song length. We had a meeting with Mark a few weeks before the wedding and he was very organized. During the day of our wedding I missed a few things and Mark worked with us on being flexible and adding a few things in. We really appreciated how easy going Mark was on those little last minute details. During our wedding Mark even had a special detail for my husband and I on his DJ screen and he made our wedding extra special with the New Years Count down!

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 is my number one, favorite photographer to work with and the only person who can actually help me relax on a wedding day. I can trust her completely. I never need to worry about where she is, if she's getting the shot, or if she's shooting enough variety. She knows exactly what she's doing from extensive experience and she treats weddings with the same gravity as if it were her own day. Some of my favorite images of all time are just that due to Tammy's ability to read a room and complete the story. She continually brings new skills and her own innovation into every event, which I love to keep up with on her social media. Tammy gets so many compliments in part due to her skill and professionalism, but also because of the energy and perfectionism she will bring to your day. I can't say enough great things about having Tammy as a photographer.

Dan and his team at Dreamlight Wedding Films are absolutely phenomenal! Going into wedding planning, I honestly was unsure if wedding videography was something we could make room for in the budget - I say this firmly and confidently, our wedding film and trailer are two of my most cherished takeaways from our wedding. Having film representation of the day is something I would not trade for anything, and I cannot believe there was a time I was considering not investing in this. I am so insanely glad and grateful we did wedding videography, and I am so insanely glad and grateful we hired Dan and Dreamlight Wedding Films as our vendor. Dan is a consummate professional. His warmth and ease resonated with us straight away from our very first phone call. His attention to detail was apparent from that first phone call as well, and knowing little to nothing about what the job would entail ourselves, speaking with him made us feel confident and like we had found someone we could trust who had our best interests at heart. We were correct! Dan had our backs every step of the way.

We were so pleased with our amazing experience at Fern Hill Barn!! Every member of the team was consistently working throughout the day to make things run smoothly and help take any pressure or stress off us as the bride and groom. We experienced a very aggressive pop up thunderstorm right as our outdoor ceremony was supposed to take place, and I have never seen a team take action like they did. Carly kept me posted on the forecast and when we were forced to move inside, the team was at attention, putting up the sides of the tent, moving florals, and keeping everything pristine for the tent ceremony. Joanne, our banquet captain, helped me with any and everything that day - from adjusting my veil and dress, to calming my nerves about the storm, and even making sure we had our first congratulatory drinks once we were married. I cannot thank everyone enough, and we will surely be recommending our venue for years to come. All our guests were so pleased and so complimentary of the food, the cake, the friendliness of all staff, and the overall atmosphere. THANK YOU FERN HILL BARN TEAM!!
