The Colonial Hotel was the perfect place to host our wedding. We stayed over the night before and got ready there the morning of, and had our cocktail hour and reception under the tent. From the first email, Mary was beyond helpful and communicative. She made the entire process as smooth as possible. I always felt like she had it under control! She even let us drop off our decor a couple weeks in advance, and then her and her team handled all of the setup. Although I was extremely involved in the planning during my engagement, Mary made it easy to enjoy the day and forget about all of the little things. The convenience of the Colonial Grille made it easy to continue on to our after party. The food was great and so were the drinks! The best part was finishing pictures and immediately having Mary deliver my new husband & I our signature cocktails without having to ask. Their partnership with Gerardos also made the cake process extremely easy. Would 10000000% recommend working with Mary & her team for your big day!

Our guests have described our wedding as the best they have ever been to, and so much of that is thanks to Spenser. From start to finish, the music was absolutely perfect. The dance floor was packed all night, the transitions were seamless, and every song choice kept the energy high. Spenser read the crowd flawlessly and created an atmosphere that was fun, elegant, and unforgettable. The professionalism, communication, and attention to detail throughout the entire process made us feel completely at ease on our big day.

We contacted Mark with a request to DJ our wedding that we quickly planned in less than 4 months. He readily jumped in to help make our day special. He offered helpful suggestions and was always enthusiastic about our plans. He made a special trip out to our wedding venue to familiarize himself with the grounds. The day of the wedding it was extremely hot, but he kept everyone going with the upbeat music. We had a wonderful experience.

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!

  • Starts at $3,799
  • Serves Gardner, MA

Hi, I'm Danielle (but you can call me Danie) I’ll let you in on a little secret—I don’t love my wedding photos. And while I loved the day, I didn’t connect with my photographer, and it shows. That’s why, as your photographer based in Massachusetts, I prioritize getting to know you as a couple and helping you feel comfortable from the first moment we connect. Because when you feel good, your photos will shine. I'll capture the moments that matter, big and small, and I'll do it in a way that's relaxed, authentic, and true to your vision.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing Danielle Littles Photography was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our very first conversation, she just got it. I came to her with ideas, inspiration, and a general vibe I wanted, and she immediately took everything and ran with it in the most creative, thoughtful way. She has such a natural eye for composition and storytelling that I felt completely confident putting our memories in her hands. One of the things I appreciated most about Danielle is how comfortable she makes everyone feel. She’s warm, friendly, and genuinely fun to be around, but she’s also not afraid to step in and give clear direction when needed—because let’s be honest, most of us don’t know what to do with our hands in photos. She struck that perfect balance of keeping things relaxed while making sure everyone looked amazing. Even the people in our group who normally hate having their photo taken ended up talking about how great she was. Danielle was incredibly communicative during the entire planning process. She checked in, asked thoughtful questions, clarified timelines, and made sure we were all on the same page well before the big day. She arrived right on time with everything organized, calm, and ready to go—exactly what you want in a wedding vendor. She also shot our engagement photos, and those were equally stunning. The consistency in her quality is unreal. And the turnaround time? Absolutely incredible. I’m used to hearing that wedding photos can take months, but Danielle delivered ours so quickly that even one of my friends who works in the wedding industry commented on how impressed she was. Looking back at our photos, I’m struck by how beautifully she captured not just the big moments, but the small, emotional ones—the glances, the smiles, the gestures that made the day feel like us. I genuinely started wondering how I could plan another event just to have her photograph it. If you want a photographer who cares deeply about her work, listens to your vision, elevates it, and makes the entire experience fun and stress-free, you cannot go wrong with Danielle Littles Photography. She is a true talent and such a joy to work with.

Sarah is incredibly talented! I showed her a reference photo, and she recreated the hairstyle almost exactly how I envisioned it. I wore hair extensions, and she blended them into my hair so seamlessly that no one could tell where my hair ended and the extensions began. The real test came on my wedding day—we somehow got hail, rain, and even snow! My hair is usually very frizzy and never holds a style, but Sarah worked her magic. She made sure everything was perfectly set, and my hair stayed beautiful through the entire day despite the crazy weather. She also did an amazing job on my bridesmaids, and everyone looked gorgeous. I absolutely loved working with Sarah and couldn’t recommend her more!

Our wedding venue was an absolute 10/10, and we truly could not have imagined a more perfect place to celebrate our day. From the moment we first visited, we fell in love with the beautiful rustic barn setting. It had all the charm and warmth of a classic barn venue while still feeling elegant, elevated, and thoughtfully designed. The property itself was stunning, and having both our ceremony and cocktail hour outdoors created the most beautiful atmosphere for our guests. The scenery provided the perfect backdrop for our celebration and made the entire day feel magical. What truly set this venue apart, however, was the incredible staff. Every single person we interacted with was friendly, professional, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making our day special. Throughout the planning process and on the wedding day itself, they went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. We especially appreciated their willingness to accommodate dietary restrictions and religious meal preferences for our guests. They handled every request with care, respect, and attention to detail, making everyone feel welcomed and included. On the wedding day, the staff continually exceeded our expectations. They stepped in to solve last-minute issues before we even knew they existed, helped with decorations and setup, and made sure every detail came together beautifully. Their calm, can-do attitude allowed us to relax and fully enjoy our wedding, knowing we were in excellent hands. The level of service, attention, and genuine care we received was extraordinary. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the venue was and how wonderful the staff were throughout the entire event. If you’re looking for a venue that combines rustic charm with elegance, breathtaking outdoor spaces, exceptional service, and a team that truly cares about your experience, we cannot recommend this venue highly enough.

Peterson did an AMAZING job at capturing so many special moments on my wedding day! The highlight reel he created was something truly spectacular and providing the entire wedding video was a plus.

From the planning and prep to the wedding day, he was always there to help. He helped us put together the timeline, kept everything running smoothly, and gave us advice we didn't even know we needed. One of the things we'll always remember is the little pep talks he gave us before some of the big moments.

Those little moments meant so much and made us feel so much more confident. The music was perfect all night, and he kept the dance floor full from start to finish.

We recently had our wedding in July at The Barn At Blackstone National, and I can't recommend it highly enough. This venue is an absolute gem—what we loved about it most was our ability to fall in love with it by itself, simply stunning even with no decor. The ambiance was both elegant and rustic, creating an unforgettable atmosphere that our guests are still raving about. One of the standout highlights was the food. It was nothing short of amazing, and our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the delicious food. It was presented beautifully, too! Also- the Barn has the BEST chocolate chip cookies you’ll ever taste and I recommend trying them regardless of what you do for your wedding dessert. What truly made our day so seamless and stress-free was our incredible wedding coordinator, Kate (Kate the great or the GOAT as well called her). From start to finish, Kate was phenomenal. Her organizational skills were impeccable, and she paid meticulous attention to every detail, ensuring that everything went off without a hitch. Kate's personable nature and deep knowledge of wedding planning made us feel completely at ease. She was patient and responsive, always ready to address any questions or concerns we had. On the wedding day, she conducted everything flawlessly, allowing us to enjoy every moment with confidence and comfort. We truly are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with everyone at the Barn, but especially Kate.

We hired Luis Andrade of Lionizing Entertainment for our wedding, and we are SO GLAD we did! We were looking for someone who would let us have a lot of control over our music, and we got so much more. He took our requests into consideration and did a fantastic job building upon them. Luis was funny, welcoming, worked with my grandparents on getting mics connected for the videos they were taking, played excellent music, worked off of our highly curated playlists for the cocktail hour and reception, and kept the dance floor full for hours. I have never had so much fun dancing at a wedding. I highly recommend him as a DJ, I wish there was another event coming up where we could hire him again.

Robert was friendly, responsive, and easy to work with. He did great with giving us direction in front of the camera. The photos came out excellent. We really appreciate the detail when receiving the photos, the quick turnaround time, and that we received all photos not just a certain amount. Thanks again to Robert!!

For as long as I can remember, I’ve felt most at home when I was creating art. I fell in love with photography at the age of 13, when I realized I could create art out of the moments that were already happening around me. Fast forward a bit...I've now been working as a professional photographer for over 5 years, and have had the pleasure of shooting many gorgeous weddings all over New England. I love capturing bold, fun, colorful, creative, and authentic images that you can look back at with an enormous smile on your face for years to come.

Ari is the most incredible photographer you will ever work with. Not only does she make the entire process clear and near effortless on the part of the planners, but she truly listens and makes sure to capture the moments you desire most. Whether that be candid shots capturing the moment through the eyes of your guests, or of your guest, or posed/group/headshots perfect for profile pictures or to hang up - she can do it all and with the most wonderful joyful energy. My partner and I felt so comfortable, and confident, in working with Ari knowing she was approaching our wedding with as much care and nerdy flair as we were - and it was the best decision we made. She is such a delight and we couldn't be happier with our pictures and the memories we can look back on.

I’ve never been more excited to write a review for someone! From start to finish, working with Sara was a joy - she was extremely responsive, kind, and organized. She did the bouquets for myself and my wedding party, as well as arch flowers and boutonnières for groomsmen. She even threw in a few stems for our wedding cake and stayed after the ceremony to move the arch flowers to our dessert table. I could not believe my eyes when I saw the final product - it’s like she read my mind and made all my autumnal dreams come true. They were truly the perfect fall wedding flowers! Thank you Sara!

Welcome! Bienvenidos! My name is Geraldine but everyone calls me Geri! My passion for the industry started at a very young age. What started out as a coping mechanism turned out to be a career I truly love. I became a hair and makeup artist straight out of high school and have been in the industry for over 14 years. 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 friends and i’m very fortunate to have been able to be a part of so many special moments!

Awarded Best of Zola
Bloo Aura was a delight to work with for my wedding day beauty needs. Their communication style was quick and simple which put me at ease throughout the planning process. They were able to accommodate a last-minute makeup trial when I was in town which I was incredibly thankful for. Geri and her hair stylist did an amazing job on both hair and makeup at a very reasonable price. We couldn't have been happier with the results and highly recommend Bloo Aura to any couple looking for a talented and personable beauty team for their wedding day!

Emily was truly the best to work with and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Emily put such thought and care into the florals for my wedding and it truly showed - the color palette, the composition, the floral varieties were all stunning. Myself and guests were blown away by her work and I can't tell you how many compliments I received on the florals. I could not have been happier with the florals or the experience I had working with Emily. Not only is Emily incredibly talented, she was collaborative and extremely patient as my desires and needs changed throughout the months after we began working together. On our planning call, she was detailed, prepared, and took great feedback to provide me with a thoughtful mood board. Wedding planning can be extremely stressful and Emily was so supportive and calming when I brought up venue related stress points with her. Emily is a true problem solver and worked so hard to make me happy with a solution to an uncontrollable venue related issue. I can’t thank Emily enough for her partnership and beautiful florals that truly set the tone for my wedding!!

Salem Cross Inn checked all our boxes for the perfect venue. It was affordable and included an outdoor ceremony location as well as an indoor ceremony location in case of rain. Luckily, the weather was gorgeous for our early Autumn wedding to allow us to be married outside. Our guest list was small, less than 50 people, which allowed us to rent The Brookfield Room on the second floor. This was perfect for us and provided us with a dance room and recpetion room. The bridal suite gave us sanctuary to have our makeup and hair done while our amazing photographer wandered around capturing our day. The backdrop of a beautiful farm landscape made for the perfect fantasy enchanted forest wedding theme. But the staff were the real stars in our day as they made everything incredibly easy. Donna and Nancy checked in on us to make sure we were all set. They helped with some quick changes and genuinely enjoyed our party. Hailee was a superstar! She took care of anything we needed, made sure that our stuff was safe and was wonderful with the kids at our party. I cannot say enough amazing things about this venue. I am grateful for their professionalism, joy and the food was absolutely mouthwatering!!
