    I'm not a Boston bride, but I wanted to post a quick note about my photographer -- Mark Davidson -- who's relocating to Boston in November 2009.  Mark is terrific, and I HIGHLY recommend him!  He's a true artist. www.mark-davidson.com

    Here are mine (many TBD so I will update later) for my May 30, 2010 wedding.  It would really be helpful to me if people would somehow annotate whether they liked their vendor or hated them or just thought they were ok.  Maybe a star system? 1 out of 5 stars?  Also, what about the groom's and groomsmen's attire?  I'd love to know about that as well.

    • location: Wellesley, MA
    • Number of guests: 180
    • Reception Venue:
    • Photographer:
    • Cake:
    • DJ/Music: The Boston Commond Band

    • Hair & Makeup:
    • Dress:

    • Rehearsal Dinner: Bacco

    Here are mine.  Links are to my reviews of them:

    I'm afraid I can't help with groom's or groomsmen's attire, though.  We had no groom (it being a same-sex wedding), and our one male attendant wore a suit he already owned.
