PK And The Mighty Seven 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves West Somerville, 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.

Julian FAR exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning, they hit the proposal out of the park, perfectly nailing our vision for the big day in a clean and clear format. Julian was super responsive to our emails, which was reassuring living on the west coast and traveling to RI for the wedding. The price was super reasonable, and Julian lined up a rental for the floral stands we needed for the ceremony, which was so helpful not being local. And on the big day. Holy smokes, my bridal bouquet was everything I dreamed of and more!! Our wedding day was super hot, and Julian did everything in their power to keep the flowers looking fresh, even tweaking the bouquet and boutonnière as the day went on to remove some of the pieces that wilted. The ceremony flowers ended up a little wilted, but that was out of Julian’s control. If you’re looking for a florist, look no further. Julian was made for this job!

Randall Garnick Photography

  • Photographer

  • Serves West Somerville, MA

It's been 12 years running this small business as a Boston wedding photographer, a New England wedding photographer, working all around the greater Boston area and traveling to destination weddings as well. It's been a crazy ride so far and I can honestly say I still love what I do! I am so grateful that 250+ wedding couples have trusted me to be a part of their weddings, to document one of the milestone days in their lives and to create beautiful heirloom albums and artwork they can enjoy for a lifetime. Ultimately that's what it's all about, serving my clients and creating an amazing experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
We have immense gratitude for Randall and incredible respect for his work! We know we made the right choice selecting him for our wedding. From the very first conversation one year prior, he impressed us by looking up the time of sunset for our fall wedding day. If it wasn't for his planning, we would have started the ceremony later and missed out on daylight photos. Randall captured our inner essence and joy on our wedding day. The gallery of photos he produced tells the story of our special day far beyond the images. He is soft spoken, gentle and unassuming in his manner. We didn't even notice him throughout the ceremony and reception (and that's a compliment). He puts so much time and effort into the planning process that the day is seamless. We had multiple planning conversations, and he rightly insists on gathering information from the bride and groom ahead of time--including a written plan of all groups to be photographed on the actual day. He is a consummate professional and it shows! By the time we met him on the day-of, he already felt like a trusted friend. He knew exactly where and when to photograph us and our guests, and he allowed us to create humorous and unconventional shots as well! We were literally speechless when he sent us finished photos. Everyone who has seen them has also raved about their quality, essence, and creativity. We love them all and we are forced to nitpick in order to select prints. We would choose him all over again!!

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!

Every experience we had with Chris was incredible. On the intro call, we immediately knew Chris was the one for us. He's calm, confident, entertaining, and thoughtful. Although we had cheaper quotes, we knew Chris would be the one to capture the moments for us to cherish for the rest of our lives. And in looking at the photos he captured of our wedding, we were 100% correct. Chris has an incredible eye for wedding magic. He makes everyone feel comfortable in his presence, and we love how candid his photography is. He's wonderful at capturing quiet moments as well as the motion of dance (see his awesome action shots below!). He doesn't just focus on us as a couple - he captured beautiful portraits of our friends and family that immediate bring us back to the moments. Chris's photography is a work of art, a vignette of the most magical days of our lives, and we are so grateful to have chosen Chris as our photographer. If you're looking for an artist to transport you to your most magical day when you look at his photographs, run - don't walk. He books up fast!

Jenn Plante Photography has been capturing beautiful moments since 2019. Jenn’s passion for photography began in high school and continues to drive her today. Her work focuses on fun, colorful, and joyful photos.

We loved working with Jenn for our engagement and wedding photos! We were a little nervous at first, especially as we've never really had professional photos taken, but Jenn made everything so easy and made us so comfortable. Overall, she is just an absolute professional and knows exactly what to do. She did a great job managing our timeline and shot list and provided very clear directions with group photos so everyone knew exactly what to do. The photos themselves came out so beautiful and were above what we had envisioned. She did an amazing job capturing our day, our friends and family, and was even so flexible on the day off when we wanted specific photos by the lake we didn't realize we wanted until then. She did an awesome job taking advantage of our venue and the scenery. We also got sneak peek photos back within 48 hours, which was so incredible to view while on our honeymoon! Highly recommend Jenn, we couldn't have had our wedding day without her!

I can't say enough good things about Jeri and her floral designs! From the beginning of the process to the day of the wedding, Jeri was absolutely fantastic to work with. Her floral arrangements were stunning--I'm still getting compliments months later--and exactly what I had in mind. Jeri is also incredible insightful and well-connected in the Boston wedding industry. She had great, candid advice for my husband and me as we finalized our wedding florals. Whenever we told other wedding vendors that we were working with her, they were immediately excited and very complimentary of her work. Truly, I can't say enough positive things and encourage anyone looking for an event florist to pick her. She really did an amazing job and was beyond refreshing and helpful!

Keepsakes by Katie

  • Videographer
  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $1,820
  • Serves West Somerville, 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.

Katie took our engagement photos, & wedding video. I could not recommend her enough. She is extremely talented & so fun to work with. Her attention to detail is incredible & something you don’t see often. Everything came out better than we could have ever expected. We rewatch our wedding video constantly!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

The Center for Arts at the Armory was an exceptional choice for our wedding venue. From the very beginning, their communication was efficient, thoughtful, and thorough. The staff were incredibly supportive throughout the entire day, helping me with any last-minute needs and even providing extra materials and a unique custom cocktail. The venue itself is incredibly flexible and unique, allowing us to tailor the space perfectly to our vision - from the food we served to the mixed traditional and cultural elements of our ceremony. Importantly, the Armory is also a cost-effective option that doesn't try to capitalize on inflated wedding prices. As a 501(c)3 non-profit, they do great work for the Somerville community as well.

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 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 West Somerville, 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
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.

  • Serves West Somerville, 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.

What can we say about Denise other than throughout our whole wedding planning process up until the last song of the night, she was the most professional, sweetest, and most amazing DJ we could've ever asked for. She's an amazing collaborator and not only played every song we wanted but made our day so special as music lovers. Our dance floor at the wedding was always packed, and I (the bride) couldn't get off the dance floor. She was super professional when it came to requests and always asked my husband and me before playing them. If you're looking for a DJ, book Denise immediately because she will treat your wedding day with as much sentiment and excitement as you!
