We started this floral design company to follow our passion for flowers and create the wedding of your dreams. We are based in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, but travel throughout New England to service our clients. We specialize in creative and detailed designs. Every client is unique and we love to showcase that through our designs.

“It’s been one month since our wedding and every day I go back to how absolutely beautiful the day was. Liz and her team were the central part of that. With a December winter wedding, many of the traditional floral options were not applicable, but with Liz's guidance, we realized very quickly that just because most flowers may not be in season, doesn't mean that it is still not an absolutely beautiful time of year. Liz and her team effortlessly draped beautiful garland throughout our venue, transformed the central staircase into something out of a storybook, and made a winter arch piece that it still hanging on our front porch as a stunning winter decoration. It was dotted with cinnamon sticks, and ornaments, and dried orange peels in a way that we could never have thought of. It was so creative and magical and made it clear that Liz had seen our vision and expanded on it in such an incredible way. Additionally, when Liz walked in with the bridal bouquets, everyone could not stop admiring and obsessing over them. With the gorgeous variety of blooms and greens, it was truly the most beautiful bouquet I could have imagined. Even more so than the pinterest boards we all obsess over. Lastly, Liz's professionalism was second to none. She made us feel so comfortable and supported throughout the process. She was even able to incorporate pieces of my gown that had been cut off during alterations to add an even more personal, and sparkly(!), touch to the bouquets. I cannot recommend Liz enough. She made my husband and I feel so special and seen during our day, and I hope that you are lucky enough to feel the same way!”

Vinwood Caterers

Caterer
Serves Essex, MA

Vinwood Caterers is proud to be consistently recognized as the North Shore’s favored catering company. And for good reason. Vinwood’s Signature Style and polished service have been behind all of our sensational events, from simple to lavish, for over 40 years. Our philosophy is simple. Offer fresh, seasonal food at its finest and serve it with style and unparalleled attention. Vinwood custom designs every event and our menus are tailored to your tastes and vision. Our flawless execution, gorgeous presentation and unequaled value will ensure that your day will be spectacular.

“TL;DR - when they say full-service, they mean full-service! Easily the best food and drink we (and most of our guests) have ever had at a wedding. The staff and especially our coordinator, Erica, were highly communicative, accommodating, enthusiastic, and went above and beyond to make our wedding as great as it could have been! Well worth the price! It's worth noting that they were partnered with our venue, Olio Event Space in Peabody, MA, but I have little doubt that they'd do an excellent job just about anywhere else they're willing to go. We had first heard of Vinwood through our venue because they had specific requirements and a list of partnered vendors we more or less had to choose from without a ton of hassle. While this could have easily become a nightmare, nearly all doubt was washed away as soon as we attended a tasting they hosted. We got to experience firsthand how great their food and staff were before getting into the thick of things, and we were able to get a head start on picking entrees, hors d'oeuvres, linens, and chinaware while we were at the tasting. When we had to lock things in, Vinwood was willing and able to accommodate our handful of allergic/picky eaters and create a dessert spread (cookie, brownie, and ice cream sundae bar) for us because we didn't want a wedding cake. From there until the big day, they remained very communicative about what they needed from us and what we could expect from them throughout the process, even going so far as to help us map out the order of operations in the wedding! Finally, on the big day, Erica and her staff took care of us throughout and were all very kind and personable. They went above and beyond in helping us decorate and brighten up the space to make it perfect for us, and we were once again blown away by the service, food, and drinks. We had lots of comments during and after the wedding about how great the food and drinks were, too. They took care of everything in the table and chair setups/moves/breakdown with what Vinwood, the venue, and we provided, all in a timely manner. I'll never forget one of the staff stopping to let me know the bar was closing, and despite getting lost in conversation again and again, she personally brought over a drink for me with a wink and a smile when she saw me failing to get away. If you couldn't tell by now, I can't sing them enough praise - thank you, Vinwood!!”

Visit my Instagram for contact info and more photography! — ErinWholleyPhotography • Weddings are a culmination of love, life, happiness, family history, commitment, art, and so much more. My love for photography and the importance it plays in remembering cherished moments spans decades. Photographs are one of the only tangible items you receive after your wedding day (aside from the memories) to help you relive this time for the rest of your days. I will hype you up all day long to make sure you are enjoying every aspect of your day with your partner— that’s truly what it’s all about!

“Erin Wholley Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding, I'd recommend her to everyone!!. When looking for our photographer, we knew we wanted someone who would make us feel comfortable since we're both not used to being in front of the camera. Erin spoke to exactly what we were looking for and we knew that from our first intro phone call. Her communication is flexible but direct and she is incredibly knowledgeable in her work and this industry. She is exactly what we needed during the stressful planning process. Our package included a complimentary engagement photo session and this was by far one of the best decisions we made! Erin knew the exact vibe we were going for and captured it effortlessly. Nothing felt forced or awkward, it seemed like 3 friends getting drinks and strutting around Boston, the only difference is we have AMAZING pictures to document it all! On the day of our wedding, Erin seamlessly immersed herself into our wedding party and families to capture all the special moments, while still providing guidance and structure to ensure we not only looked our best but got the shots we were hoping for. The photos we received back were stunning - the quality is truly breathtaking. Her mix of digital and film photos are so unique and timeless. We are so grateful to have these beautiful memories to look back on for years to come. Erin exceeded our expectations and is without a doubt someone you should book for your wedding.”

He summered here with his first wife, Mabel Cabot Sedgwick, an accomplished horticulturist, gardener, and author of The Garden Month by Month, and his second wife, Marjorie Russell Sedgwick, a rare plants specialist—both of whom created a delightful, enchanting landscape, surrounded by more than 100 acres of woodland. Today, visitors delight in the beauty of Long Hill’s structured and naturalistic gardens as well as a network of woodland trails. A diverse collection of trees, shrubs, and distinctive perennial plants provide color during the growing season, peaking in May and June and providing structure and beauty throughout the year.

“Long Hill was a dream, it felt like a private fairy garden. Gorgeous location and the perfect size for us to take photos privately and guests to explore but not feel too far away (for wrangling from cocktail hour to dinner for example). The Long Hill staff were super communicative and responsive, sometimes a little stressful to work with as it felt like there were a number of restrictions but this really translated to a very stream-lined and well-organized wedding day as they brought up any potential issues early and then on the actual day they were super, super supportive and great to work with. They do have a list of 5 set caterers you need to work with, we were given an exception because of a dietary restriction my in-laws have (need to pay a 1000 fee), but this was tricky as Long Hill expects caterers to take on much more than just food. You'll also want to rent a dance floor (700 in the area) as the under tent area is brick. We had 115 of us total with buffet & dance floor, it was cozy & lovely but any more than 120 would feel tight to me. We were able to have a ceremony for an extra 1000 and then the reception was 5,200 for 5-10 on a Friday. In addition to the gorgeous gardens and beautiful cocktail area off the porch, we could take photos inside which was really lovely and a great break from the heat (our wedding day was 85 and VERY humid). Felt very professionally run and they worked well with my dear friend who was our day-of-coordinator and we just feel extremely grateful to have such a gorgeous location!”

“Corinne and Molly made our day so seamless to the point where my husband and I could focus on us and our guests. From our first meeting to the day, they worked through hiccups with vendors that we would have missed and gave us amazing recommendations to make our wedding day perfect. We came ready and prepared with all of our vendors, and they stitched up the final communications for the wedding and made it so seamless, even finding another vendor for napkins 2 hours before the day started because ours forgot them! Not only are they amazing coordinators, but they're amazing people. Any communication that we had with Corinne and/or Molly felt so curated to us, and although we knew that they were coordinating other weddings, it felt that they had all their efforts focused on us. We got married 2 weeks ago and cannot stop talking about how amazing our day was because of them! Fun story as well, my bustle kept falling every 10 seconds and right before our grand entrance I decided to just cut the dress, and Corinne came down with scissors ready to be a seamstress! Anything we needed they always said yes to and we could not have been more grateful to them.”

“I had my eye on The Grove at Briar Barn Inn since it was simply a blueprint on an Instagram post. From the start, I knew it was going to be where I would get married someday. There is just something so quintessentially charming about the post and beam restaurant and the quaint New England Inn. The entire experience working with The Grove was great. We picked December 8th for not only the idea of a winter wedding but also for the holiday decor and availability for our preferred vendors. They were flexible in putting together the details and stuck to all the outlined dates and deadlines. We were assigned our wedding coordinator, Jeannine, about six weeks out as they said, and we were able to have our wedding details meeting soon after. The payment portal was easy to use, and the planning pod was intuitive and a great spot to keep important details in order. Jeannine answered all my questions promptly, and in the week leading up to the wedding, she was available for us to drop off all the decor ahead of time and spent time reviewing our vision one last time. On the day of, she was present, available, and helpful. She was detailed and organized and never pushy. She let us have our day and was there to help transition to the different elements seamlessly, paying attention to all the details so we wouldn't have to. Our guests have had only positive things to say about the entire day from the incredible food and the overall atmosphere. The only critique I have of the entire experience is the check-in process at the Inn. We had a 20 room block and ended up with 29 of the 30 rooms booked by our guests. The Inn has a very strict 2pm early check-in for 50 fee or 3pm otherwise check-in. We had a Sunday wedding in December where we had a first look and formal portraits at 2pm before a 4:00 ceremony because of the early sunset. We weren't able to stay Saturday night due to another wedding buy-out. The Grove accommodated me by making the hospitality suite available for us to get ready in; however, the Inn did not accommodate the groom getting ready. We rented out the Silo/Library for 250 to try to have a space for the men to get ready, but they didn't set up the privacy screen and there were too many people milling around for him to get changed in the non-private space. After a lot of inquiry from our wedding coordinator, our officiant, and our makeup artist, they finally let him into the room at 1:45 for the additional 50, but at that point it was only enough time for him to drop his phone and wallet. He ended up changing in the single stall bathroom in the basement of the Inn, which is a nice bathroom of course, but we would have liked a little more flexibility for us to have 1 room with early check-in to give him a bit more privacy. Flipping one room early for the bride and groom doesn't seem like a lot to ask in the grand scheme of the day or even offering some alternatives - we likely would have paid for a full extra night even if we couldn't get into the room the night before just to have the spot, but they didn't give us any options to work with until 1:45 p.m. ahead of 2pm call time. My recommendation for future couples is to negotiate into the wedding contract for something ahead of time if you could potentially run into the same issue, especially if you're out of towners who don't have other options nearby.”

Paige and her team worked seamlessly to get not only me but all of my bridesmaids and our flower girls ready—and everyone looked absolutely stunning. I let each of my bridesmaids choose how they wanted their hair and makeup, and the team listened and accommodated every request beautifully. Everyone felt comfortable and confident, and it really showed. They truly enhanced each person's natural beauty in a way that felt effortless and personal. Everyone's hair and makeup lasted all day and night—through happy tears, hugs, and nonstop dancing! Paige is incredibly talented, professional, and kind—exactly who you want around on your big day. Thank you again for making us all feel so beautiful!”

I strive to create a stress free experience, so that you can focus on what truly matters — each other and enjoying every second of your wedding day.

“My husband and I had some trepidation around choosing a photographer for our elopement, mainly because we really wanted any photos taken to reflect the two of us, and our relationship, authentically. We wanted intimate, personal, simple, and classic...and we found all of these things in Tessa. Tessa always put our vision at the forefront of her work, and she worked with us every step of the planning process to make our elopement seamless. She suggested venues, worked with our busy schedules to coordinate planning meetings, and even served as our officiant. Throughout it all, she was the perfect balance of honesty, warmth, and professionalism, and we would work with her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Tessa, for everything. You are amazing!”

Serves Essex, MA

Video exists in my life as an extension of everything I love about photography. Something drew me to it, and with the ever expanding video modes of my photo cameras, practice became commonplace. Being able to tell storying audibly as well as visually adds a level of depth that is hard to reach within photography. You can feel the story take you through a place in time. Moment capturing in all its beauty.

“You won't just love Alex's photography, but you'll love working with him too. Half the stress of planning a wedding is communicating with vendors, but Alex was a dream to collaborate with - he listened to all our ideas and executed them perfectly. We're thrilled with how our pictures turned out and highly recommend Alex Cole Weddings to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and personable photographer.”
