There’s something extra special about an intimate wedding in historic Boston! We were thrilled to be a part of Lisa and Dan’s elegant and heartwarming celebration in August.

In love with their neighborhood, Lisa and Dan knew that Beacon Hill’s cobblestone and brick were the perfect backdrop for the day. Lisa got ready at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel, zipping into a modern Maggie Sottero dress. Meanwhile, Dan and the boys suited up at the couple’s apartment steps from the Esplanade.
They met halfway for their first look in the Public Garden, the site of Dan’s proposal. They posed for stunning photos throughout the park, stopping by the Swan Boats and Make Way for Ducklings Statue. From there, the couple made their way to picturesque Acorn Street. On such a hot and sticky day, Lisa had to pull Dan up the hill with her to keep up with her pace. Silly moments like these lent to the day’s playful tone - no surprise since the groom is a former stand-up comic!

Last stop on their Beacon Hill adventure was Hampshire House, the venue for the main event. While the couple cooled down and spent some quality time with their families, we put together all the final, personal touches. This included duckling escort cards and wine bottles on which guests could write words of wisdom. Our favorite detail, though, was the cherished family photos nestled in the library shelves. Rachel Abbott from Mahoney’s completed the space with a dramatic mantle piece.

The intimate ceremony was filled with heartfelt moments and happy tears. The couple chose to honor their loved ones who could not be there and several family members read short, sweet excerpts and poems. It was a truly beautiful celebration of love! A passionate kiss marked the beginning of their journey as a married couple. Music from the cellist and violinist ushered the couple out of the library and straight into the party.

Cocktail hour took place on the third floor, overlooking Beacon St. and the Public Garden. Everyone was greeted by tiny rubber ducks in tuxedos to kick off the festivities. Downstairs, we flipped the library into modern and elegant reception. Bright peonies adorned the long tables and candles sparkled in the bookshelves. Once the sun set over the park, Dan opened the dancefloor with a high kick during his first dance with Lisa. DJ Paul Granata led the party from there, and guests danced well into the night.
