  • Starts at $1,000

Hi, I'm Grace! I'm a mom of 2 kids (5yo girl & 3yo boy) and 2 pups in Boston, MA. When I'm not chasing after my household or working on a project, you can find me running (with a goal to run a marathon in every state) or sipping on an iced coffee. I started learning calligraphy as a creative outlet after working in healthcare through the pandemic and now being a mostly SAHM of 2 kids. I made holiday ornaments and did a couple holiday markets for 2 seasons, now am committed to weddings for most of the year with calligraphy & engraving.

I cannot recommend this shop enough! I first worked with her for my son’s first birthday party, where she created beautiful custom calligraphy for our party favor tags. The tags were absolutely stunning and added such a special, elegant touch to the celebration. We received so many compliments from our guests! Since then, I’ve purchased several other personalized items, including a family Christmas ornament and a custom acrylic hair clip, and every single piece has exceeded my expectations. The craftsmanship, attention to detail, and quality are truly exceptional. You can tell that each item is made with care and pride. Not only is her work beautiful, but she’s also wonderful to work with—professional, responsive, and committed to making sure everything is perfect. In a world full of mass-produced products, it’s refreshing to find someone who creates such meaningful, high-quality keepsakes. If you’re looking for custom calligraphy, personalized gifts, or unique pieces that will be treasured for years to come, look no further. I will absolutely continue to be a repeat customer and can’t wait to order more in the future!

Clockwork was an excellent choice for our wedding band and DJs. Their communication throughout the planning process was efficient and they were always quick to respond to our questions. On the day of the wedding, their performance was nothing short of energetic. The singers and musicians would frequently come out onto the dance floor, interacting with our guests and bringing an unmatched level of energy to the celebration.

Boston Premier receptions are engaging, meaningful, and detailed so that every segment of the evening is precise and perfect. Additionally, we are energetic, creative, polished, and fun – and love to infuse those elements into every event we perform at!!

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Boston Premier Band for our wedding and honestly couldn’t have been happier. From day one, their customer service was outstanding. I had so many questions (and a bit of wedding stress), and they were always patient, responsive, and genuinely reassuring. As a bride, that peace of mind meant everything - they really put me at ease and made me feel like we were in good hands. Our venue was a little… weird. Odd layout, limited space, not exactly band-friendly. They didn’t blink. They were super flexible and got really creative with how they set everything up, and somehow made it all work perfectly without it feeling cramped or awkward. The band itself was amazing - high energy, professional, and they totally read the room. The dance floor was packed all night. But what really stood out was how easy Ceasar was to work with and how much he clearly cared about making the day smooth and fun for us. If you’re getting married in Boston (or anywhere nearby) and want a band that’s talented and incredibly easy to work with, Boston Premier Band is 100% the way to go. I’d hire them again in a heartbeat.

Tailgate Gourmet Catering remains one of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire’s leading caterers, applauded for both its gracious service and mouthwatering take on barbecue.

Awarded Best of Zola
John and his team are not just caterers, they are a whole experience. It is clear from the initial communication with Tailgate Gourmet that they are here to cook and serve you high-end, thoughtful meals AND to be a part of your wedding's atmosphere. We were sold just stepping into John's tasting kitchen; his team were there to provide not just a taste of the catering options, but the personality and level of service you could expect as part of your day. It's clear that John is a master of his craft and cares deeply about his menu offerings; he delivered diverse, delicious dishes, worked within our budget, and ensured that our guests with dietary and mobility restrictions had just as wonderful an experience as everyone else. We loved that Tailgate Gourmet is a self-contained operation, which worked perfectly for our outdoor wedding on a private property that didn't have infrastructure for a professional on-site kitchen setup. The team quickly assessed and adapted to the space we had available, and left no trace they'd even been there by the end of the night. Our guests (who are not shy about sharing feedback) let us know this was the "best wedding food EVER" and that the tenderloin and Mediterranean planked salmon were more delicious and well-prepared than any restaurant dish they've had in the past. If your priority is providing your guests with a darned good meal-- don't hesitate!

Joe and his team were incredible!

We gave him a few do not plays and just a couple must plays, but he handled the rest perfectly!! Fine Tune Entertainment has an easy to use planning website, where we were able to edit our timeline and song choices throughout the process - this helped keep everything super organized. Joe was excellent at keeping the schedule moving with speeches, photos and dancing. We also used Fine Tune Entertainment's sister company for the photo booth which was incredibly high quality and a major HIT with our guests. They had the option to get digital copies or take home a printed one! We added 10 up lights to our space as well and Joe perfectly managed color changes to enhance the party vibe. We highly recommend Joe & Fine Tune Entertainment to couples in the Boston/MA area because of the incredible music played, the calm demeanor and excellent communication throughout the process! Definitely add the photo booth if you can, it was so worth it :)

I think there’s a real absence of authenticity in today’s world. Everywhere we look, people are polishing themselves into a perfect image for the internet. But that’s not where the beauty is. The beauty lives in the real moments — the big, loud, messy, emotional, human ones you can’t stage or script. That’s what I chase. Since 2016, I’ve been documenting weddings for couples who want to feel present, relaxed, and fully themselves. I gravitate toward the candid, the unplanned, the way a glance turns into laughter and a quiet moment becomes unforgettable.

Steve was incredible to work with from start to finish! We had a very low-key and DIY elopement and he got us instantly.

She delivered that and more, helping my husband with his pocket square and hanging out with our little dog who wanted to keep her company on the morning of. I can’t recommend Erica enough, I never felt pressured to go with more traditional or toned down flowers, she fully accepted and ran with our vision and brought it to life in ways I could have never imagined! She made a flower hairpiece for me, a pocket square for my husband, and collars for our dogs in addition to the classic bouquet and ceremony/reception flowers. Everything was amazing and lots of the flowers were grown in Erica’s own garden!

Nina was absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding! Leading up to our day she made us feel like a priority and when our plans had to change last minute she was totally understanding and supportive, providing advice along the way. On the big day, from the moment she arrived, she was prompt and organized, which took so much stress off our shoulders. What we loved most was her energy; she has a natural way of making everyone feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. She was a total joy to have as part of our big day, and we couldn't be happier with our choice! Would ansolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer to capture your special moments!

I truly cannot stop obsessing over our choice to have hosted our wedding at Hampshire House. If you're looking for an elegant, world class experience with top notch catering, you will not regret choosing Hampshire House. My husband and I worked closely with Michele to plan our perfect day. From start to finish, Michele was attentive, professional, and so so helpful and responsive. She made this process so easy for us and helped us navigate through all of our choices for the big day. The wedding day itself was FLAWLESS and sooo seamless. Michele, Savannah, and every single staff member was kind, attentive, and made sure that our evening flowed smoothly. If there was anything wrong, we really did not know about it. We are so impressed with the level of care Hampshire house dedicated to us. Thank you all so much again for such a beautiful experience. All of our guests cannot stop complimenting us on how beautiful the venue was and how delicious the food was!

Glass Artists is a boutique live music collective delivering personalized string performances for modern weddings. Our musicians, from top conservatories, bring your love story to life with elegance, emotion, and artistry. From classical to pop, we tailor every note to your vibe. Think less “cookie-cutter,” more “chills down your spine.”

Working with Glass Artists was great- everything went as planned and they showed up on time and communicated the whole time with clarity, which I appreciated. The coolest part was they sent me a list of over 1500 songs for me to choose from. They had everything I could think of!
