afford private, she does semi private sessions with other “diehards” at
various times throughout the day in her studio. Tell her I sent you.
Videographers

the $) He has been featured on Style Me Pretty and knows his stuff

DJ
Doug Welch (my first choice)
If you want a DJ that is going to make your wedding guest move all night
and feel like they are at a kick ass club, Doug is my NUMBER ONE
CHOICE. He was a huge club DJ for years as well as doing weddings. He
can actually beat mix, which means he won’t kill a song in the middle of it
playing. Actually you won’t even know when one song ends and the other
begins. He doesn’t talk a lot unless you want him too. Can bring a light
show as well.
phone: 508-944-7844
his email is: djdigdoug@gmail.com
Dan Sky
He also sings his ass off for you during dinner, but knows his music and get
the crowd up and moving quick! I can’t recommend him enough!
Seriously…call him!

Hair Removal
Laser hair removal, facials and electrolysis
Bridget Riley
617-334-4166
www.electrologyboston.com
She is located in Brookline and I’m a client. Pain free and works really fast.
Ok, so I debated whether or not to list this but what the hell. No one is
vainer than me and I even retouched my birth photos.
So here goes…
Botox and other medical cosmetic things
Laura Kimberly of Lilly LA
Located in Newton, Laura is discrete, confidential and worth it. That’s all
I’m gonna say about that. (mention me and there could be a discount) She
does chemical peels too. Big discounts for all if you get your entire wedding
party involoved in some way. She can also come directly to your house and even throw a party, if you know what I mean. :-)

blow your mind.

Ana Sortun and Oleana Restaurant
Even though it doesn’t mention catering on their website, they will do it.
Ana Sortun is not only one of my favorite chefs on earth (I ate there while I
was in labor but didn’t want to go to the hospital until I was done my
dinner…I SWEAR), but she is also my husband’s first mentor. (He is a
chef) If you are having a small wedding, you may even want to consider
having your entire event at her restaurant. Not for the timid but a must for
the foodie!

Max’s Catering
It’s classic, fresh and yummy servicing the New England area. Very cool
people too!

Catering in the Berkshires and beyond
Mezze Inc.
Nancy Thomas is the reason the Berkshire region has a restaurant scene.
She actually brought it there. (I actually know her from in days in
Philadelphia and she is the coolest woman I know) Her company thrives on
local and she supports and uses the local farmers in the region before going
elsewhere for anything on your plate.
