The entrance hall was a sanctuary of hushed reverence, scented with old wood, polished marble, and aged paper. And there he was: a tall, elegant man, a figure seemingly sculpted for the role of a museum's guardian. His posture was impeccable, and his tailored suit spoke of distinction. As he turned, a genuine smile touched his lips, a look that acknowledged a shared passion for the treasures within. His voice was a low, resonant baritone, commanding yet gentle. "Welcome," he might have said, gesturing to the grand space around us, "to a place where time stands still." He introduced himself--perhaps as Mr. Elias--ready to guide me through the spirit of the museum.

I had never worked with anyone like Danni and while I had a to-do list of important but weighty things that never got done, I didn't know what to expect. I handed that list off and just like magic, all those endless, nagging items were resolved. Here's one highlight in particular: I needed to find a Zika-free holiday island retreat that housed 12, including 3 generations, 2 kids, and a variety of activity levels. We need a bedroom on a ground floor, a pool or access to a pool, the list goes on. I truly feel that the only reason we are going away this year is because Danni found a place that suited this impossible ask. Long story short: she is a godsend. But I would prefer you not use her so I don't have to share her time with you :) I've got plenty of projects to keep her busy. (I kid, I kid).

This was the first time I have ever had something professionally framed, and John made it an…read moreincredible experience. I carefully picked out John's shop after searching Yelp all across Boston, and I am so glad that I did! It was clear that John took great care in every step, from stretching the canvas to fitting the frame. He also added a protective lacquer to my piece at no extra cost. I really appreciated his artistic eye in picking out the frame, which is perfect for my piece (so much so that I would even say that it looks like the frame was made for it!). Furthermore, he gave me a really excellent price that worked with my limited student budget. John is a very kind person and clearly is passionate about what he does, and I will recommend Atelier 564 to my friends. I should also add that I brought two additional pieces to John for him to take a look at and give an estimate on, including one tapestry, and upon seeing how I was storing them (inappropriately) he re-wrapped them in a way that would be less damaging. He also gave me input into how he'd frame/mount them, including telling me how to mount the tapestry in a way that wouldn't involve framing and would be cheaper (i.e., in a way that wouldn't involve his services!). Completely free and despite the fact that I wasn't planning to get either framed in the immediate future! He's a really nice guy.

We went in with an idea of what we wanted and John guided us with suggestions. That said, he is very difficult. This last time we were tossed between 2 different frames. We chose one, gave a 50% deposit. When we arrived home and considered the space it was to be hung, we decided to go with the other choice. We immediately called John (we left his store only 30 minutes prior) to tell him we are changing to the other frame. He was nasty, said we were "grinding him" (not sure what that means since we were asking only for his opinions) and said he's too busy to deal with this and to come get our piece. We attempted to calm him down and in spite of his unprofessional demeanor told him we'd be in to look at the other frame. Upon further consideration I decided I did not want to work with someone so unprofessional. When I arrived I asked him what went wrong and he lost it again. Crazy! He the gave me our piece wrapped in paper, not in the tube he was given and when I asked him to put it in the tube for protection, he said "I already rolled it." In spite of his great work....."CAUTION!: STAY AWAY"

The Robert Treat Paine Estate at Stonehurst was the perfect venue for our wedding. We could not…read morehave picked a more beautiful setting! The building and grounds, designed by Richardson and Olmsted respectively, have been well-preserved by the City of Waltham, and we made sure to use them as fully as possible. We had our ceremony on-site outdoors, did photography throughout the grounds, had a cocktail hour that allowed guests to explore both inside and out, ate in the Summer Parlor, and danced in the Great Hall. Our guests all told us how impressed they were with the venue, and enjoyed exploring the house with its dark color palette, ornate woodwork, and extensive collection of solemn Victorian era portraits. Part of the reason we selected the venue was that you could pick your own vendors. Marcia, the manager of the estate, had not worked with our caterer before, and expressed reservations about that, but after the two of them met, and she was convinced they had experience in historic mansions, we were able to go forward with them. She has years of experience with weddings at Stonehurst, and is very direct about what she thinks works well in the venue. She made sure the day went off without a hitch. A few details about how we used the space: - We did the ceremony at 5 in late August, and the light was perfect for photography as the sun had just dropped behind the roof of the house. - Our wedding had about 70 guests which fit quite comfortably, with room to spare in the dining area. - The Great Hall definitely benefits from uplighting once the sun goes down -- our DJ brought 10 wireless amber lights which worked well for dancing.

I got married here, so of course I am going to be somewhat biased about the place…read more As a wedding venue, it was perfect for a smallish wedding of about 90 guests. The grounds were fantastic for everyone to wander around, the foliage and landscaping actually made the need for us to spend half our budget on flowers unnecessary, and the interior was equally gorgeous, with hard wood everything, a grand staircase/foyer that was excellent for dancing and toasts and lots of rooms for a dessert buffet and a large dining area. It is however a historic estate, which means that there are limitations in terms of vendors you can use and decorations (eg, no lit candles indoors) however since we had a late summer wedding, we pretty much stayed outside the entire time so these weren't huge concerns. The event coordinator is -terrifying- but she knows what she is doing. She's very gruff, all business, but really, you're not there to make friends with her, so just smile and nod and everything will go ok. The price wasn't bad for the event, and there is a discount for Waltham residents (which we were not. boo)
