Pro Tip: Kimberly Russo, owner, Just Right Farm (JRF), suggests you consider the many different aspects for your venue choice. For example, at JRF they do all the florals, cakes, and dinners in-house to provide intimate effortless celebrations. Kim says all of the elegant comforts of their 300-year-old farmstead with its long, shady drive, huge ash trees, and charming red house are yours for the day. Just Right Farm’s natural elegance provides an exquisite backdrop for a celebration. (Sadly JRF closed in 2022.)

FOOD TRUCK CATERING
Pro Tip: Having 2-3 trucks with different food options offers a fun, diverse experience for your wedding guests. June Somers of Mom on the Go Foodtruck recommends booking six months ahead of time. Have the Band or DJ call guests table-by-table up to the trucks to eliminate lines. Make sure each truck has a permit with the Board of Health from the town as well as insurance. Fun idea: a dessert food truck for guests as they leave the event.

BAR & COCKTAIL SERVICES
Pro Tip: Don’t be afraid to ask questions. A good bar service will want you to communicate all the details of your event. The more info they have the better they will be at prepping and providing the bar service requested. Most importantly, make sure they’re licensed and insured. Just like going to a bar, liability is everything when it comes to serving alcohol, advises Pete Burgess, The Pour Guys.

Pro Tip: Allison DiMaggio of Allison Kathleen Calligraphy & Design explains that hand calligraphy is the perfect personal touch to add to your wedding invitations and decor. You can do it yourself or hire a calligrapher for envelope-addressing, place cards, menus, seating charts, signage, and more. The possibilities are endless!

DESSERTS & CAKES

Pro Tip: Baker Katelin Gellar advises when choosing desserts, it is important to think about the overall guest experience you are trying to give your guests. Adding petit fours that focus on family traditions will allow you to reminisce about the past and celebrate the future as two families become one. Also, considering desserts that are weather appropriate allows your hot, sunny event in July to be filled with sunshine and happiness instead of melted whipped cream and a lopsided wedding cake.

Working with local vendors creates a strong SE MA community. Small, specialized vendors can focus on your ideas and help your event dreams come true. It is truly awe-inspiring when the dahlias in your wedding bouquet are grown seasonally from the ground close to you and when you are directly supporting a small seasonal flower farmer in your community. Creating a ”local provisions table with small jams, pickles, sauces, sea salt, or honey brings your guests a taste of the local terroir. Having a raw bar filled with local oysters and a cranberry mignonette made with berries from a nearby cranberry bog gives a special and unique touch of SE MA. Creating these relationships with local SE MA vendors will give you a long-lasting community full of people who truly love what they do–and that love will translate into a special event you will hold in your memory forever.
