Preferred Outdoor Wedding Vendors

We don’t have a lot of vendors for our outdoor weddings on this page. We think it’s important to include folks who, like us, are flexible, hardworking, professional and truly respect our wedding couples.

• A beautiful, romantic tent (plus tables, chairs, linens, lights, dance floor and sidewalls) can be provided for an additional cost. A dance floor is required if you plan on dancing outside. Please note: Special Events of New England is our exclusive provider for tents and associated rentals. Contact Bob Soucy at Special Events directly for a quote.
• Wonderful wedding photographers include: Holly Redmond (in the next town over), Leise Jones, Alex+Betty, Jennifer White, Kelly Benvenuto, Kristin Chalmers, Showan Davis, Corey Lynn Tucker, Sara Desirey, Paul Robert Berman , Lara Kimmer, One Eleven Images, Gina Brocker, Kerri Green (right here in Harvard). and Kelly Dillon
• Two lovely wedding officiants are Stoddard Melhado (JP), and Amanda Brown.
• Pick your own flowers (July and August) at Small Farms and Applefield Farm, both in nearby Stow.
• Local businesses that provide beautiful flower arrangements, centerpieces and bouquets are Flourish Flower Designs, Pinards Florist, Field & Vase by Stow Greenhouses and Westford Florists.
• Want to relax on the big day? Courtney Hatfield is a certified massage therapist and can do chair or table massages here at Friendly Crossways.
• For those who prefer more amenities than our available in our charming rooms, the new Marriott Courtyard Boston in Littleton is only 5 miles away. Contact Danielle Frampton to discuss group reservations and shuttle transportation.
• Sound System/DJ: Mark Hastings of Bare Hill Sound here in Harvard has the equipment and expertise to make sure everyone can hear your beautiful vows (this is a good thing, since many people will have traveled a long ways to witness your wedding). Mark will also work closely and cooperatively with you as your DJ or low key emcee; he knows who the stars of the day are!
• Musicians! David Ross’ classical guitar would be a beautiful addition to your ceremony and cocktail hour. Talk to him about his jazz trio and blues band for your reception! Cover & blues band JP and Friends features guitarist Jeff Purchon, vocalist Suzanne Buell and a beat that will definitely make your guests dance the night away. Bare Hill Band features 60s & 70s music. DJs Brian Ahronian and Rick Bellanti will keep your guests up and dancing the night away.
