I actually laugh out loud when I recall how I first thought I didn't need a wedding planner. I…read morefigured I had plenty of ideas, a good sense of design, and thought I could manage my time well enough to get things done when things needed to be done. Looking back now, I can't imagine this past year without Alexis and her team at the Little Things. Alexis is cool, calm, and collected. She has an incredible eye and seemingly limitless patience. She gave me the space to design specific elements of our wedding while providing her expertise at every turn. Her high standards have helped her build a network of vendors who truly bring their A-game. My fiancé and I definitely put The Little Things through the ringer with our out-of-the-box interactive displays and AV set up. Alexis took it all in stride, remaining positive, managing our expectations, and meeting every challenge presented and exceeding expectations throughout. If you view wedding planners as a "nice to have," and not a "necessity," I would change your thinking. There are SO many things that can come up, and they would have easily derailed us many times in our planning if it were not for Alexis who acts as part wedding planner, part therapist throughout the process! ha! When you look back at your wedding, if you're like us, you will constantly be bringing up amazing memories, and you will find yourself saying "Imagine we didn't have Alexis."

If you're beginning to plan your wedding and you're looking to be creatively engaged but not…read moreoverwhelmed by the process, it's time you meet with TLT. If you value design and love beautiful detail but don't have the time to chase every email or treat your wedding like a second job, it's time you meet with TLT. If you have a bunch of ideas in your mind of who you and your partner are, and how you want to present yourselves as a couple, and want a planner who can understand you better than you understand yourself, it's time you meet with TLT. If you want to enjoy the process of planning your wedding as much as your wedding itself, run, don't walk, to TLT. Alexis & Kayla were by far the most important and most valuable decision we made for our wedding. After following TLT on IG for some time, I knew I liked their high-end, laidback vibe, and from our first conversation we were bowled over by how those traits translated to the people behind the scenes. From early days with thoughtful questionnaires into every aspect of our identity, Alexis and Kayla began the journey of getting to know us better than we knew ourselves, and helped us establish a mood, a design aesthetic, and a way of working together that made the year of planning our wedding a true joy. What you can expect from working with TLT: monthly meetings where you will laugh until you cry, a meticulously organized online checklist of to-dos with assigned owners and gentle and timely reminders, to be presented with teams of vendors who match your vibe and price point (you can always suggest your own vendors and TLT will vet them too), never having to send a single email to a vendor (!!!!), a sense of comfort knowing that everything is IS THE BAG, and in the critical days leading up to the big day and including the big day itself - being able to be present and enjoy this once in a lifetime experience. Alexis and Kayla helped us author our first big creative project together as a couple and will be lifelong friends. They assembled a squad of the COOLEST, most hardworking vendors we could imagine, and we will be forever grateful. If you are on the fence about working with a planner, DO NOT HESITATE to take the leap with TLT. They are worth their weight in solid gold.

We cannot begin to emphasize how wonderful of a performance Soraya and her team displayed at our…read morerecent 80th birthday celebration event. It was truly amazing to see how great and magnificent everything looked. The birthday lady was so taken aback by what had been done in her honor that she was at a loss for words. Everything from the setting, flowers, lighting, attentive service, cordial staff, etc....was magnificent. The décor was truly stunning. The food was delectable, well done, and to die for. Everyone in attendance was beyond themselves on how "over the top" the party was. Soraya is very easy to work with and helps her clients achieve their ultimate desired goals. She has a natural way of doing her thing and reassuring you that everything is going to be great that makes your stress level disappear. From planning to execution, Soraya is there and is involved in all aspects of the event. She is a very reliable and dependable person. She is resourceful, has a great attitude toward her work, is very respectful to her clients, and has an aptitude for great services and client satisfaction. Soraya and her team have brought nothing but pure joy to our hearts. She did a fantastic, marvelous job and we are truly elated to have chosen her for our event. Looking forward to the next one!!!

My mother and stepmother believe very strongly in consults and relied on her even though my stepmother is a professional party organizer out of state. The owner later told our vendors that they should do what they wanted because "these people were from out of state and KNEW Nothing." Even the vendors seemed embarrassed by this. We had instilled our trust this woman had thrown it aside. When we decided on our church location, she continually pushed to change the venue. People later said it was the prettiest church and wedding they had every seen. On the day of the wedding after I had repeatably stated I wanted it to be laid back and easy going, I had to sit down with the wedding planner and ask her to chill. If you want your event to be totally constructed and run by someone else, I would choose them. But if you have an idea of what you want and have the potential for mature decisions choose Boston Weddings or someone with heart. I hate that I have to write this because the wedding was beautiful but I know it was because of my mother, stepmother and other friends even my husband who found all the venues.

Our wedding coodinator, Taylor, said to us at one point "Have no fear, you have Suzanne, and she's the best in Boston." Wow was she right! I loved meeting with you as you have such a calm demeanor and were so nice and helpful. Your vision was wonderful but when I saw it I couldn't BELIEVE the incredible job you did. You did pinspotting down to the petal on the flower arrangements! The Boston Harbor Hotel benefits from the fact that you custom made lighting to fit the room! Who does that?! That was just fantastic! I will recommend you to anyone and everyone who is having a wedding or any other occasion and needs an amazing woman to do her/his lighting. I hope that at some point in the future we can have the pleasure of your incredible talent again. You are the BEST, hands down.

Words cannot describe how working with Myriam and her team made my mother's Surprise 60th Birthday…read moreParty the ultimate success. We had a short window to plan the event and Myriam was on top of EVERYTHING; she left no detail unattended. I was worried about everything because my siblings and I were planning this party from sunny California and the party was in Massachusetts. Myriam did an amazing job at putting my mind at ease. From her amazing recommendations of vendor choices to her innate abilities to capture the theme we were going for; her service is bar none. Myriam's business acumen is superb. Her patience and communication style made the three of feel like she wanted this party to be as big of a hit as we did. We hosted almost 90 people and Myriam had everything under control. From making sure the food arrived on time and working with outside caterers, wait staff, and entertainment; it was all taken care of. She even made sure we got all the family pictures we wanted, which proved to be the most valuable takeaway. Myriam has the expertise that you want when planning an event of any significance. I almost forgot to mention how much of a sweetheart she is! The thoughtful things she did (probably too much to go into here) made me truly happy that I hired her. I highly recommend her service to anyone I know hosting an event in the Massachusetts area and will definitely use her services in the future. Thank you so much Myriam!

Ever since we signed on with M&M, we tell every couple we know that the FIRST THING they should do…read moreif they get engaged is hire a wedding planner (more specifically, our wedding planner). A number of amenities were made affordable, and therefore feasible, because we hired M&M. The rates we received from vendors, with Myriam as our representative, were far more favorable then the ones we sussed out before hiring her. Not only were the prices great, but the service was also exceptional. Her professionalism and reputation spurred vendors to do an excellent job so that she would one day advocate for them, too. Before we hired Myriam, we had very little idea of how much we should expect to spend, and as a result, we were hesitant to make any firm commitments. We had been engaged a year and a half when we met Myriam, and had decided upon absolutely nothing. I am especially thankful for Myriam's patience with us as we got used to synthesizing and articulating the details of our dream wedding. Wedding planners have to be gifted arbitrators, since the traditions, wishes, and opinions of two people (and by extension, two families) have to be weighed equally, and ultimately reconciled into something unique, memorable, and beautiful. In the days leading up to the wedding, my bridesmaids frequently commented (with no small amount of surprise and relief) about how relaxed I was going into the big day. I think that's because I had entrusted my wedding to the right person.
