The Dirt Empress is simply the best wedding florist I've ever worked with. Their communication style is honest, informative, and confident, and they truly understand the needs of their clients. The quality of their work is nothing short of perfection - the floral arrangements they created for our wedding were mind-blowingly beautiful and inspiring. They captured the exact look we were going for, and the two incredible powerhouse women behind The Dirt Empress worked true magic with the flowers and greenery. I cannot recommend them highly enough for any couple planning their dream wedding.

Johanna was a great make up and hair artist for my wedding! Makeup was beautiful and hair was amazing. Couldn’t have been better and it lasted the whole day. Along with being a true artist Johanna was also great with helping to keep the morning getting ready calm and relaxed. She’s very easy going and my family enjoyed spending the morning with her.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

We don’t have the words to thank Max enough for the way he impacted our wedding. So many special moments in our relationship have been based around music so choosing a DJ who we saw eye to eye with was extremely important. We had one conversation with Max and knew he saw our vision. To say he delivered is an understatement. I walked into the venue for the first look and immediately heard the sound system being tested and knew the night was about to be perfect. From the groovy sounds of cocktail hour and dinner to the killer mixes during our dance party we are thrilled with how the night went. As a couple, all we wanted was to spend every second on the dance floor and be surrounded by our friends and family and that's exactly what happened. It's so clear we made the right choice and we would highly recommend Max to anyone looking for a great party.

Lorna Stell Photo 

5.0

Salem, MA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000

I’m a Virginia transplant who makes her home north of Boston shooting micro-weddings and elopements. I’m obsessed with the diversity and energy of the city, but also with how easy it is to escape to nature in New England. As an introvert, I definitely need both! I’m married to a handsome fellow creative (of the wordsmithing and storytelling variety) and we love our homebody life together. I’m a photographer because I think people are fascinating. Because memories are fleeting. Because we all need some beauty around us to help us remember how incredibly blessed we are to be alive.

Awarded Best of Zola
Lorna was the calm I needed on our wedding day. She was very relaxed, communicative, and professional. Our wedding consisted of 17 people, 7 of which were kids (three under the age of 2). She did an amazing job capturing a mix of formal and candid photos in color and black and white (as requested). Before leaving, she even asked if there was any other last minute shots that I wanted captured before she left. Lastly, I was truly impressed with how quickly Lorna was able to digital files back to us. Thank you, Lorna!!!

Caroline Giuliano Photography 

5.0

Salem, MA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,500

I’m a photographer for people who don’t resonate with traditional wedding photography. For those who want their weddings to be told like a story that features every bear hug, belly laugh, stolen glance, spilled drink, booty shake, and happy tear. For those who prioritize genuine and unscripted moments over trends and shot lists. For those who don’t want to feel like they’re wasting their day posing for the camera. For those who are inspired by the past and hopeful for the future. For those looking to create a little bit of future nostalgia.

My fiance and I had a great experience working with Caroline for our engagement photo mini session! I was amazed at how many moments she was able to capture in a short 20 minute session. The edited photos are beautiful- the romantic style is just perfect. We almost didn't do engagement photos, but I'm so glad that we had Caroline capture this exciting time. Plus her easygoing personality meant we had fun doing it!

Salty Raven Studio

Salem, MA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

My work is vibrant, moment-driven, and authentic. I love focusing on your connection as a couple, what makes you and your wedding unique, and your interactions with family and friends as you celebrate together. My approach to wedding photography leans toward a documentary or photojournalistic style with a fine art element (I graduated from Wellesley College with a degree in studio art). While I might suggest an area with great lighting to stand in, I will never ask you to “pretend” to do anything. Ever.

We hired Danielle to photograph our wedding after meeting her a couple of different times as she was photographing our friend’s weddings, feeling her energy and seeing the moments she captured beautifully for them. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to invest in photography with Danielle. She has felt like a friend to us since we first reached out to her about a year and a half before our wedding day. She hung out with us for a day in the woods in Concord, MA for our engagement session and was even up for running alongside us to take pictures as we rode our tandem bicycle. Her communication from first email to saying goodbye on wedding night was unmatched. We would be so happy to have an excuse work with her again and would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone we know. We are still awaiting our full wedding gallery (on schedule!), but all of the photos we have received so far are AMAZING. She captured our love, and the love of those around us, just as we’d hoped (and knew) she would. It was an absolute pleasure working with her and we know any future potential clients would feel the same! THANK YOU, Danielle!!

Consider me your friend and your personal storyteller. Here to cheer you on from behind the camera as I capture all the magical moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
We don’t even know where to begin with Nicole!! It was an absolute dream to work with her. Due to unforeseen circumstances (it’s COVID, right?), we were out a photographer one month out from our wedding. Nicole was the first person I messaged on Instagram and I am SO happy she was available. We met over coffee a couple weeks before our wedding since an engagement shoot wasn’t possible for our schedule. We breathed a huge sigh of relief after meeting her, knowing that we would connect with her perfectly. Not to mention, her style of photography and editing is exactly what we wanted. The only time my husband and I really posed was for formal family/couple portraits! The rest of the time, we didn’t even notice her and we got so many gorgeous, candid photos. We got our pictures yesterday, exactly on our one-month anniversary! I was shocked to get that many edited pictures so soon! We cried looking through our sneak peeks (which were delivered day after the wedding) and our full gallery. We felt comfortable, confident, and loved throughout the whole day. She fit perfectly with our intimate wedding, being one of six guests. I can’t recommend Nicole enough; she came in clutch for us, was super flexible with talking/meeting with us, was the best friend we needed day of, and delivered the most gorgeous pictures which such creative vantage points. I’m at a loss for words with how beautiful everything turned out. Thank you so much, Nicole!

Our designs are created in a natural garden style with lots of layers, whimsy, dancing flowers and organic shapes. Our color pallets are expertly curated to seamlessly blend shades and build tonal works of art. We aim to create fresh, innovative designs that reflect a sense of place and season. We are a full service florist catering to weddings of all sizes.

Working with Mia was very easy. She was a clear communicator and followed through with what she said she'd do. Our wedding was wildflower themed, no specific color palette, and we wanted a little whimsy. What she delivered was perfect. We heard all day about how beautiful the flowers were and how wonderfully they smelled. If I had it to do all over again, I'd go right back to Fern Floral.

Salem, MA
  • Officiant
  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $600

I meticulously craft and joyously officiate wedding, handfasting, commitment, and vow renewal ceremonies for unique couples, infusing them with personalized touches! ​Whether you’re drawn to a Pagan handfasting, a spiritual-but-not-religious ceremony, a traditional wedding, or something uniquely offbeat, your ceremony should celebrate your story and reflect your authentic selves. We can weave in witchy or spiritual elements, embrace quirky traditions, or simply create space for your story to shine - I’m here to design a ceremony that feels deeply personal, true, and beautifully you.

Our experience with Witchy Woman Weddings was more amazing than we ever could have imagined! Tara crafted a beautiful, deeply personalized ceremony script that truly reflected who we are as a couple. She took everything we shared in her thoughtful questionnaire and wove it into a ceremony that was peaceful, meaningful, and absolutely perfect. Despite the intense heat of our outdoor Litha (Summer Solstice) wedding, Tara showed up to our home with grace and calm, pushing through the day with unwavering dedication. Her energy was grounding and warm, making us and our guests feel at ease. All of our guests complimented us on the ceremony - how it was so beautiful, and they had never seen anything like it! If you're looking for a Pagan or "offbeat" wedding experience, Tara is the one! She is incredibly easy to talk to, listens deeply, and genuinely cares about bringing your vision to life. We can't recommend her enough - she helped make our wedding day truly magical.

I attended a wedding vow renewal at/in Black Craft Salem's haunt. We all walked down the "aisle" which was the actual haunt. We followed the "bride and groom" throughout the haunt to the very end where the actual ceremony took place. There were beautiful glowing candles everywhere and the lighting was perfect. The BCS crew was very nice and made us all feel welcomed. I have NEVER been to a ceremony as thrilling, fun and terrifyingly beautiful as this one. I could not get over the atmosphere it was McCabe and, exciting and eerie at the same time.... I felt like I was on a movie set. . EVERYONE who loves Halloween, horror and haunts in general needs to have every type of ceremony in this venue - NOT just weddings and vow renewals. BORAH! was the officiant and was the funniest thing ever, she roasted the couple and made us laugh so hard we neven shed a few tears. Thank you BCS for hosting such a remarkable space for this ceremony. I will be booking my wedding at Black Craft if I ever decide to tie the knot.

We had a room block here for our wedding in Beverly, and hosted a brunch the day after (you have to have a catered event at the hotel in order to have a room block). Overall, our experience was pretty good. The hotel has been recently renovated and the rooms were beautiful. The King Suite was great to get ready in - I had 11 people getting hair and makeup done, with 4 artists, and there was enough space. Having the Regatta Pub on site was perfect for a welcome event and post-wedding spot and could easily accommodate a large influx of people. The brunch was ready to go with plenty of tasty food and drink. They also were able to hand out welcome bags when guests checked in. Kristen, who organized the room block, was extremely communicative and responsive to our emails, and helped us add rooms to our block a couple times. We are rating 4/5 stars for a couple reasons. First is that housekeeping never came to the suite to clean after we had left for the wedding, so we returned at the end of the night to all of the room-service coffee/breakfast items that had arrived at 8:30 that morning. When we called the front desk, no one answered. Secondly, while the brunch was great, they do charge a large room fee and administrative fee.

An Unforgettable Experience at The Hawthorne Hotel We had the most wonderful experience hosting our rehearsal dinner, welcome reception, and farewell brunch at The Hawthorne Hotel, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with our choice! From start to finish, every aspect of the service, food, and ambiance was absolutely perfect. The hotel’s vintage charm was exactly what we envisioned for our wedding weekend, and it provided the perfect setting for all of our events. The food was a highlight of our weekend. At the rehearsal dinner, we had the Chicken Milanese entrée, which was a huge hit with our guests. So many people mentioned how much they loved it, and the entire meal was delicious and beautifully presented. The service throughout all of our events was impeccable, and the wait staff was friendly and attentive, making everyone feel welcome and cared for. One of the things we loved most about the Hawthorne Hotel was how perfectly it fit our aesthetic for the wedding weekend. The vintage character of the hotel gave everything a timeless, elegant feel, and it was the ideal backdrop for our celebrations, even though our wedding and reception were off-site. We absolutely adored the hotel’s library space, which hosted our farewell brunch. The cozy, intimate atmosphere made it the perfect spot for a relaxed and meaningful gathering with our closest family and friends. The space was beautifully decorated, and it truly set the tone for a lovely, laid-back morning after the big day. Our hotel suite was equally impressive. It was spacious, comfortable, and the perfect place to unwind after a busy weekend. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and we both enjoyed a restful night’s sleep. It was a great retreat for us during such a busy time and offered everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. A huge thank you to our amazing events coordinator, Beth Pasquarello. Beth was an absolute gem throughout the entire process. She was incredibly responsive, helpful, honest, and caring. We never felt out of the loop, and she was always there to offer advice and solutions. One great example of her attention to detail was when she helped us secure a microphone for the rehearsal dinner, ensuring everything went smoothly. Her professionalism and personal touch made the entire experience so much easier and stress-free. If you’re looking for a beautiful, historic venue with fantastic service, delicious food, and a truly memorable atmosphere, we highly recommend The Hawthorne Hotel. Thank you again for making our weekend so special!

Alyse Grimm is the creator behind Things to do in Salem [dot] com. In addition to working in tourism in Salem, MA she is also a wedding photographer with 5+ years/100+ weddings of experience and her work has been published on major wedding platforms. Her knowledge of the north shore combined with her experience makes her a natural fit for your north shore wedding. Alyse's style is photojournalistic with an eye for small details. She is less fond of posed photos. Alyse is open to travel but is giving priority to weddings on the North Shore of MA and to weddings that are non traditional/showcase the individuality of the couple.

Alyse worked with my fiancé and I for our engagement shoot at Beacon Hill. Since we are from out of town (NY) and the shoot took place at the height of Covid, this required some strategic planning on both ends. Alyse was so kind and flexible to work with. She assured us that even if last minute changes due to Covid had to happen, she would work with us. I was very stressed with the entire situation, but Alyse’s calm, reassuring personality put my mind at ease. She has many great ideas, but also listens to your vision and is open to doing shots that you like. We loved the way she captured who we are as a couple, in a place that is special to us. We received many compliments on our save the date cards which featured the photos from our shoot. If you are looking for a photographer who is easygoing, open minded, and knows the MA area well, then Alyse is your girl!

Awarded Best of Zola
In 2021 my boyfriend and I attended a wedding at Olio and couldn't believe how perfect the space was. Being from the north shore, it was easy to get to which we loved. Once we got to the dinner portion of the wedding and had chicken parm (not your traditional wedding piece of chicken or steak) - we thought, this is the best wedding ever! When we got engaged in December 2023, the first, and only tour we had was at Olio. We assumed there would be no availability for 2024, but Sarah was able to secure us with the perfect date in June (just six months away). We knew we didn't want a traditional wedding, and loved the fact that Sarah supported our non-traditional, crazy ideas. When I took my grandmother to visit the space, she met Sarah and said "she's so nice and thoughtful, but you must have to be to work in this industry" I can confidently say after planning my wedding in 6 months that not all vendors are like Sarah and the team at Olio! They go ABOVE and BEYOND to help you create your perfect day. They are incredibly fast at responding, and always taking the time to reply with kindness which goes a long way. Sarah & team helped us craft the most perfect PARTY atmosphere for our 200 guests. We went with Premier as our caterer and loved being able to hire local Peabody establishments for food, shoutout to Champions Pub, Toscanas, and an INCREDIBLE grazing board by Edex Provisions (right outside of Olio!) Followed by epic late night snacks from McDonalds. Olio allowed us to create the wedding menu of our dreams :) I would absolutely recommend working with Sarah and the team at Olio. My friends and family are still raving about the space, the food, and how much fun the night was. Olio gives you the flexibility to create the day of your dreams, and the team is there to guide you along the way. Thank you, thank you, thank you to Olio & team!!

Our wedding here was INCREDIBLE and I couldn't recommend it enough. Every single person we worked with was so helpful, kind, and thoughtful and made this process so easy for us. Every single detail was executed perfectly. Every interaction was professional, timely, and warm. For the whole year leading up to our wedding, we felt incredibly supported and cared for. I had so many questions, and the Willowdale team was so prompt, helpful, and kind in their responses. As for the actual wedding, it was a total dream. The food is actually the best food ever... wedding food or not. It's been two months and everyone is still talking about it. The space is GORGEOUS and feels intimate and special while still accommodating larger weddings. Our coordinator, Julia, and the team worked with the florist and all the decor we dropped off ahead of time to execute the design and vision better than I could ever dream up. I was truly shocked when seeing the space - the attention and care to detail was unparallel and so gorgeous. And the BEST PART... On the day of the wedding, there was absolutely nothing to think about or stress about because Julia had it all under control. She communicated throughout the evening and made everything flowed seamlessly. As a result, we really got to just enjoy every single moment of the best day of our lives. All in all... we highly recommend getting married here. I wish we could do it all again. Willowdale and the team are so special. THANK YOU!! PS - the cookies are the best ever.

Being a curly-haired bride, I was very nervous about finding a hairstylist who could tame my mane for my wedding day. After speaking with Sophia, all of my fears melted away. She reassured me in her abilities to give life to my curls with her tiny curl wand. I don’t think my curls have ever looked better in my ENTIRE LIFE; I cried when I saw myself in the mirror because of how beautiful I looked. My bridesmaids (who have a variety of hair types) had hair that was equally as stunning and were just as pleased as I was. My hair lasted all day (through lots of dancing) and was only held in place by five bobby pins; Sophia is a magician! In addition to her hair abilities, Sophia brought such a positive and warm energy to the bridal suite. She was also incredibly thorough with instructions, information, and schedules leading up to the day. I can’t recommend Sophia enough for hair services!

Entertainment By Scott Sica was the perfect choice for our ceremony and reception. From the first phone call I knew Scott was the right choice for our wedding. He was very slpersonavke and I could tell he truly loved his job as DJ. I was anxious about finding a DJ but Scott made the planning process actually fun. I was having trouble finding songs for first dance, entrance, processional, cake cutting etc. Scott helped us by sending us playlists. Scott timed everything with our music perfectly and it was magical. Scott had everyone on the dance floor and he truly knew how to read the crowd to keep everyone dancing. I would highly recommend Entertainment By Scott Sica to any couple looking for a DJ that will keep their guests energized and engaged throughout the entire reception.

Vinwood Caterers 

5.0

  • Caterer
  • Serves Salem, 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!!

Erin Wholley Photography 

4.9

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,000
  • Serves Salem, MA

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!

Choosing Erin for our wedding was probably the best decision we made in the 2 1/2 years we spent engaged. The difference with Erin is that she’s not just another wedding vendor; she became part of our friend group and family. We loved her so much for our engagement photos that we flew her down to North Carolina for the weekend because we couldn’t imagine anyone else capturing our day. Erin goes above and beyond in every way and that’s simply because she cares. She was originally planning to join our rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks to capture an hour or two, but she stayed the whole night. I’ve been in arguably too many weddings, and what sets Erin apart is that she doesn’t just take the classic posed shots and move on to the next. She focuses on the tiny little moments in-between each shot. One of the best pieces of advice she gave me was to stick by my husband, Tom, as much as possible. Because of that, the candid, emotional moments she captured are truly priceless and are my favorite photos! Perhaps too personal, but we both had major loses in our families right around the same time, and both before our own weddings. When it came time for our vows, having someone behind the camera (and even in front of it consoling us when we couldn’t stop crying - see photos attached) made a hard moment even more special. Erin isn’t just a photographer; she’s a friend, hype girl, and someone who will care about your wedding as much as you do. I recommend her to everyone I know.
