The Best Wedding Vendors in Newton Center, MA

“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.”

“Okay brides just book them!!! I wish I could do 200 stars because that’s what they deserve. The amount of people who came up to us through out the night to comment on the music was the most rewarding feeling, because I completely agreed! The combination of live acoustic, with dj is so unique, stood out to everyone, and was worth every penny. The planning process with them was so easy, and they even put my mind at ease by just sharing their insights, while also listening to what we wanted. Joseph perform our first dance song live, which was my favorite part- it wasn’t your typical “slow” song, but we loved it anyways and he really executed it beautifully. We were all in awe of the whole experience. I ALMOST didn’t have them incorporate the live sing a long at the end, but after they described the vibe on our last call I changed my mind and let me say- I’m so glad they did it. One of my friends told me they felt like they were at a concert. We wish we could relive that night over and over again. I really can’t thank Joseph and Erika enough for taking such great care of this experience and creating the night of our dreams!!”

“Working with Alexis has been such a joy! We found her over a year ago and she did our engagement photos, and immediately we vibed with her. She brings such a good yet professional energy to her time with couples, and even though we were a little awkward she reassured us the photos would be great. And they were! She is a great communicator and answered all emails and texts within a reasonable time, and was overall so easy to work with. While we haven’t gotten our full album back yet (we just got married less than a week ago), the engagement photos were incredible and the wedding sneak peeks even better. I heard so many good things from our guests on how they found her professional yet sweet and personable. I would recommend Alexis to anyone as her work speaks for itself, and she was truly a delight, and I hope we get a chance to work with her again!”

From the moment I had my trial with her, I knew instantly that I had made the right choice. She’s incredibly honest, communicative, and truly values transparency with her brides, which made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. On my wedding day, Johanna handled 8 bridesmaids and 2 moms, and she worked efficiently without ever sacrificing quality. Every single woman looked stunning. She understood everyone’s skin tone, style, and comfort level perfectly, and she made each person feel confident and beautiful. I felt like the best version of myself, and my makeup lasted flawlessly all day and night. If you’re looking for someone talented, professional, and genuinely fun to be around, Johanna is your girl.

Spinner Music Productions was founded in 2002 by a suburban Boston kid with a dream. A dream to stay away from the typical 9 to 5 work week and far, far away from a cubicle. A dream to enjoy working while experiencing all that life has to offer, specifically life’s greatest moments. What started out as a backyard DJ company has grown into an industry-recognized award-winning Team of entertainment professionals living out that very dream.

“David and his team at Black Diamond were absolutely incredible! I’ve never been to a wedding where the DJ got so many compliments—our guests couldn’t stop raving about him. He read the room perfectly, keeping the vibe fun and upbeat early in the evening, and then seamlessly transitioning into a full-blown club experience just like we asked. What really sets this company apart is how well they prepare. Their website asks thoughtful, detailed questions ahead of time, which made the day-of experience completely stress-free. They truly tailored everything to our vision and crowd (ranging from 30 to 60-year-olds), and the result was a packed dance floor all night long. I would choose David and the Black Diamond team again in a heartbeat. They helped make our wedding unforgettable!”

On the day itself he was wonderful - he made us feel incredibly at ease and he had a calm and relaxed approach with all of our guests as all of the formal poses were set up. After the photos were ready, it was so easy to look through them all and we could not have been happier with the results. Finally, Randy took the time to talk us through the curation and design of the album in two separate meetings - he gave great advice on design and layout whilst making it clear that the album would be exactly as we wanted to be. The final album is absolutely beautiful - the perfect record of our special day. We cannot recommend Randy highly enough!”

“Our daughter just celebrated her wedding this past weekend at the Kimpton Marlowe, and I can't imagine a more perfect experience! We visited quite a few venues that we loved, but once we found KM and Rachel, we knew we had found our place. I'm not sure where to begin! The planning process was never stressful thanks to Rachel's patience, professionalism and organizational skills. Our daughter lives out of state, and I can only imagine the insane amount of emails that flew back and forth between her and Rachel! She kept us all calm, and we were always confident that the day would be perfect because of her extraordinary efforts. The venue itself has everything a bridal party could want. It's in an accessible location for out of state visitors to explore Boston and Cambridge. The staff are all warm, friendly and eager to help with anything. The price is very reasonable; we had ruled out Boston/Cambridge because of our budget, but KM turned out to be right on target. There is convenient parking on site. We were offered a block of rooms in the hotel for an amazingly good price, so that our guests didn't have to worry about driving after a big party! The food was exceptional, from appetizers to dinner and even late night snacks of pizza, cookies and milk! The reception room was gorgeous and is very easy to work with because of the neutral colors. I think one of our favorite parts was that we had the entire second floor of the hotel to ourselves! The ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and even a room for the bride to retreat when she needed to change was all included. The younger guests danced until the very end, and the "older" parents and guests found a quiet spot to hang out in the lobby area outside of the reception hall, filled with comfortable sofas, chairs and tables. All who attended were happy with the many choices to party, relax and mingle. In my opinion, KM and Rachel are a still a hidden gem in the greater Boston area. I hope this review helps to get the word out that they are the place to go if you are looking for an affordable option with fabulous spaces, delicious food and most of all, an event planner who puts her heart and soul into everything she does.

“We cannot recommend Pagu highly enough for your wedding or event. From the very first email, they were unlike any of the venues we had reached out to. Overall, Pagu is flexible, which not only made wedding planning MUCH less stressful, but it made our wedding personal to us. Every time we had a question, they had an answer and a solution. You’re not messing around with rentals for plates, chairs, tables, linens or tons of decor. The space is beautiful and already functions so well as a restaurant, allowing you to just be their guest on your wedding day. The FOOD! Multiple guests came up to us and said it was the best wedding food they had ever had. Everything was hot, fresh, aesthetically plated and delicious. The family style sharing was relaxed, fun and nobody had to wait in line. The cake was so light and beautifully decorated. Day-of, what really stood out was the exceptional service and kindness we received from the entire team at Pagu. Everyone who works there was so positive, accommodating, and thoughtful. When I was “hiding” before the ceremony, the team delivered an entire tea/coffee service with some of the food to make sure I got something to eat! When we got back to our hotel, we found a portion of each dish in our fridge, just because they heard we hadn’t finished our second course or dessert while we were socializing. It was above and beyond thoughtful! Beyond taking extremely good care of us, all of our guests commented that it was one of the most relaxing weddings because the Pagu team thought of everything. At most weddings, there’s not a server checking in with you about your allergies, restrictions, and if you would like a drink. Since Pagu is a restaurant, you get outstanding restaurant-quality service. They even made a last minute, individual substitution for a new dietary restriction on the spot, and allowed that guest to enjoy the food, too! Another huge bonus was there was almost no bar line, since they’re used to making drinks for this many people! Other highlights of our experience include doing the cocktail creation session with Jimmy. We aren’t big drinkers, so we almost didn’t do this, but we are so glad we did - it was a blast, and the guests loved the personal cocktails. We highly recommend it! The space is gorgeous, the people are a dream, and the food was outstanding. Amanda (the venue coordinator/manager) was so easy to work with and on top of everything. Even our very traditional families (who were very skeptical when we said we were getting married at a restaurant) said afterwards it was one of the best weddings they’d been to.

Serves Newton Center, MA

Midsummer Flowers is a tiny floral design studio that specializes in creating one-of-a-kind floral designs for weddings and other celebrations and events, by combining the perfect balance of timeless romance and garden-inspired whimsy.

“Tracy was absolutely incredible! We went with a classic Cape Cod theme, and she completely understood the assignment from the very beginning. The arrangements were elegant, coastal, and timeless—better than anything I could have imagined. She transformed our tent into something magical, especially at night with the soft glow of candles woven beautifully throughout the space. The entire process was seamless. She stayed in constant communication, checked in often, and even sent photos of the flowers ahead of time so we knew exactly what to expect. Her professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail made our day feel truly special. I can’t recommend her enough!”

Lizzie's Bakery

Cakes & desserts
Starts at $10 per serving
Serves Newton Center, MA

I specialize in custom wedding cakes and party cakes! I'm 100% self-taught and have been decorating cakes since 2016! I have 2 kids and I love celebrating life's biggest events with cake is my passion!

“Lizzie made our wedding cake in 2022 and it was perfect! My husband is gluten free and we’ve tried many gf cakes before. Most are not great, some are ok and expensive. Lizzie’s is by far the best we have ever had and can’t even tell the difference from the regular! We received our cake tasting box as well as some macarons (we ordered some for my bridal shower after). We ended up doing a gf two tier cake with a bunch of gf and non gf mini cupcakes. The mini cupcakes were the perfect size for guests to grab and avoid the waste that sometimes happens with full size cupcakes. Plus guests can try multiple flavors! We had some gf guests who were blown away and other non gf guests complimented who had no idea the cake was even gf. We had vanilla with fresh strawberries and buttercream as well as lemon and blueberry with vanilla buttercream for our two layer cake. Cupcakes were various flavors: funfetti, red velvet, chocolate. We coordinated with the florist to have Lizzie add flowers. Delivery was perfect with no effort from myself on my wedding day. Lizzie also had a friend make our wedding topper. I will forever purchase cakes through Lizzie for events because she is that good. You know it’s good when it is added to your list of cravings from time to time. Lizzie was great to work with, responsive and genuine. I love supporting a local business, especially one with such heart. Lizzie even made us a miniature version of our cake for our one year anniversary, saving us the time and effort of freezing. It was so nice to have a fresh small version to celebrate with. Cannot recommend Lizzie enough.”
