We were invited to the launch party for the latest issue of Boston Weddings magazine which was held last week in Harvard Square. We had such a great time and spent the night sampling some great appetizers, drinking some great wine and mixed drinks. (By the way, the best was a signature drink made from champagne, vodka, pomegranate juice and honey - so delicious!!) And it was so nice to get to chat with so many other people who have a role in weddings here in Boston! We were able to see a lot of vendors that we’ve worked with over the past year which was so much fun. Tannise Buford from Event Experience was there - they are a DJ service and here’s an interesting bit of trivia…. They actually were the DJs for our wedding nine years ago!! We loved them then and have been able to work with them at so many other weddings since so it was so nice to catch up. Heather Miniccucci from Simply Inviting weddings was there as well. You might recognize her name from Kaitlin and Mike’s wedding from this past summer and we found out that we’ll be working together again in just a few months so we’re very excited!
But the really cool part of the the party was getting to see so many companies that provide services I had never even thought of before! Since we’re always looking for new great wedding ideas I thought I’d share some of the really unique services we found. We first met Naomi and Jack from Generations Videostories. Well, I first met Naomi and while it’s no secret that I can - on occasion - be considered energetic and excitable, I have nothing on Naomi’s energy level - she was great! They provide videography services for weddings, and even though I know that in itself is not a new concept at all, Naomi and Jack actually provide cinematography services which is a little different. Their final videos actually resemble documentary films from their use of lighting and more candid interviews. I saw a few clips on their website and it really does have a very different and artistic feel to it. I just thought it was a really unique spin off of the traditional video coverage for a wedding!
We also met Angela from Love, Luxe & Bliss. When I asked her what types of items she carries in her store, she told me, “We can provide everything but the wedding dress.” I loved that! So they provide everything invitations, to favors, to bridal party accessories and the best part is that everything can even be customized, too. And then last but definitely not least, I also got to meet Amanda from Event Nanny. She provides professional child care services at your wedding or rehearsal dinner (or any other event, I’m sure). She and her staff all have professional child care experience and they take care of everything - they even bring the toys, activities and supplies. Probably what made me remember her the most, though, was this very cool feature that they have if you want to use them at the wedding. You can either make arrangements for child care at your wedding directly, or you can actually set up an rsvp service and provide your guests with the rsvp information (I’m thinking maybe in your invitation?). Then any of your guests that need child care can just rsvp directly with the Event Nanny and you don’t even have to think about it. I thought that was pretty cool!
Anyways, it was great meeting so many people with great ideas and great services out there, so I thought I’d post about a few that I loved in case it’s helpful for anyone else as well! Happy planning!
