She recommended amazing vendors (DJ and Photographer) who we and our guests adored. She kept me on track and helped me remember the little logistics you sometimes don't think of in planning a large event. On the day of the wedding, she calmly handled strong personalities and the teeny bits of havoc that throwing together an outdoor tent wedding inevitably involves. I highly recommend Halley if you are looking for a down to earth, legit good human being to work with.

Jake and the Wheelhouse crew catered our family reunion in Otis, MA. Working out the details with…read moreJake was easy and effortless. Our guests LOVED the food truck, crew, presentation and especially the food!! The farm fresh dishes were beautiful, creative and delicious- the brisket was to die for!

We were so lucky to have had Wheelhouse Farm Truck cater our autumn wedding this past October, and…read moreit was 100% everything we could have hoped for. We knew when it came to the food, we wanted 1) a farm-to-table experience with pure, delicious, locally-sourced ingredients, 2) an elegant but down-to-earth seasonal menu, and 3) plenty of options for our vegan and celiac guests as well as our meat-lovers. Bonus points if our caterers were a pure pleasure to work with. The instant we spoke to Jake about our day, we knew we hit the jackpot. From the beginning, it felt like working with a friend. Jake was open, flexible, professional and generally awesome. Since we planned our wedding in about 10 weeks, I can't tell you what a load off it was to have the catering piece taken care of. Jake and the team were super on-point and helpful with our semi-DIY plans, and they couldn't have been friendlier through the entire process. Oh! And the food was SO good, SO perfect to what we envisioned and our guests have had nothing but highest compliments. I often get cravings for that meal... just delicious. As a side note, before we met in person we visited the Wheelhouse truck at the Amherst Farmer's Market in an impromptu detour and the team was so warm and welcoming to us, having us sample their amazing arepas and chatting with us about our upcoming plans. These are just great people doing great things, making special food and spreading love. Honestly, we couldn't want more than that.

He requested something unique and beautiful. Cost - $175, not including delivery. The vase was the best part of the arrangement. - nice heavy base. The arrangement itself was sad! It was unique - but not attractive or pleasing, in any way. My estimate of the cost of the flowers was $35 maximum - Retail. The arrangement was wilted and dying by the 2nd day. I sent my brother a picture of the flowers to thank him for his thoughtfulness, and he was very upset at the poor quality and value of the arrangement. I dissuaded him from contacting the Florist since he would not have been pleasant in his appraisal of the quality of the arrangement or the talent of the florist. I would NEVER recommend this florist to anyone.

We cannot recommend Ryan and Four Wings Photography enough! Ryan, owner and photographer, is such a…read moretalent. His pictures are beyond gorgeous -- check out his portfolio for yourself -- but he is also open to the direction that you provide in making sure that his style reflects your own. Not only is Ryan a great artist, since you can see that clearly online, but something less tangible to note is that he is great at understanding the different people included in your wedding and ensuring that everyone can work well together to get the shot. For our wedding, he worked with Leslie (a second shooter), who provided a strong balancing presence to ensure all stayed on track. The two of them together worked magic with our (not always easy) family and took some breathtaking photos. On the day we were overwhelmed, exhausted, and intermittently assaulted by mosquitos but Ryan and Leslie worked professionally and swiftly to ensure we didn't get bitten to shreds and the photos they somehow pulled together are incredible. You would never guess that we were anything other than blissfully happy, and seeing that joy in the images captured of our day really helps us remember how wonderful it all was (even if the day was also a whirlwind). We are so, SO happy that we were lucky enough to secure Ryan and our advice is to set up a meeting and seriously consider his incredible work.

As we were preparing for our wedding we looked all across Western Massachusetts for a photographer…read morethat we liked. We eventually decided to look into Four Wings Photography after we saw some of the demo materials found on the website. When we met with the photographer Ryan for the first time, we knew instantly that we wanted to work with him just by the way he talked about his joy for his work. On top of his amazing personality he does incredible work, and his wedding packages were perfect for what we were looking for. This past weekend we had the chance to work with him on our engagement session which was included in our wedding package. When we met with Ryan we gave him a few ideas and he ran with them (in a good way). He took time with us throughout the afternoon and he made sure to capture the special moments between my partner and I. When he sent us a few of the photos before finishing his editing, we were blown away by his incredible skills and attention to detail. Overall, we are really excited and blessed to have chosen Ryan. We are more than happy with our engagement photos and can't wait to see what he does with our wedding. Also, as an aside, if I could rate him higher, I would. Ryan is as good as they get! His humor and honesty made us feel comfortable with choosing him for our special day.

COVID-19 Wedding We…read morefell in love and booked this venue a year in advance. Due to COVID-19 restrictions put in place by The Governor Charlie Baker we were unable to hold our wedding as stated in the contract, a contract that we had paid in full. We had to forgo our wedding becuase of the Pandemic and ALL of our vendors except Mill 1 refunded us and were extremely gracious. The owner believed that he was not in breach of contract even though we paid for a space for 50+ guests, a dance floor, & a bar which due to COVID-19 he was unable to provide any of those things. its NO ONES fault that these restrictions were put in place it just comes down to being able to provide what was paid for. None of us would have thought a year ago that we would be "social distancing" and wearing face masks everywhere we go. The owner stopped replying to emails after we asked him straight up (so he would simple have to say YES, he can provide us with was was in the contract or NO, he cannot. ) We had to get our lawyer to reach out and inform the owner that he was in fact in breach of the contract & that further action will be taken if he continues to refuse to return our money. Of course the morning after our lawyer was in touch with him we got an email back from John. This time stating that we could have our wedding at Mill 1 BUT with only 25 people inside or with 100 people outside at another location outside the building of Mill 1 (which by the time our wedding date came around was no longer allowed in MA due to further restrictions put into place). But that is simply thats not what we paid for and were promised by our conrtact that we had signed and paid in full. We paid for the gorgeous building and the ambiance it provides. Not something out in the parking lot with less than half the guests we wanted. John would still not address the fact that we couldnt have a dance floor or a bar. He told our lawyer that he would give us half of our money back but only if we signed an NDA (non-disclosure act) so we couldnt inform the public on how he chooses to run his business no less how he chooses to treat consumers during a PANDEMIC. Our lawyer asked him for that in writing...we never got it. Spoke to our lawyer today (7/29/2020) and we have to formally sue the venue, John Aubin had no response to the letter our lawyer sent over on 7/21/2020. Today is 9/8/2020 and yesterday we finally recieved some kind of correspondance with the venue. We got an email from Regina (event coordinator) asking us if we would be using the space on 9/12/2020 for our wedding. Our attorney reached out to the venues owner John Aubin on 9/5/2020 to inform him that we would be continuing with our choice to not modify our wedding that we had paid in full for & that he could reach out at any time prior to discuss options but either way we would be continuing with legal action against Mill 1. We got no response from him. The email from Regina was fowarded by us to our attorney who kindly informed her of where we stood on the matter. Please note that Regina also mentioned that we needed to respond to her by 9/8/2021 (yes, she said 2021 obviously meaning 2020) so they decided to reach out at 1am, on a Holiday weekend, only 5 days prior to our original wedding date, and give us 1 day to respond, ONLY after the owner recieved notice that we would be persuing further legal action, coincidence? We dont think so either. Today is Monday, 9/14/2020 - our wedding was supposed to be a few days ago, no word from venue. Today is 12/30/2021- Yes, the end of 2021. We haven't heard a thing from John Aubin BUT we got an official court date today. We will see him in court January 26th 2022. Today is 1/26/2022 - Court was cancelled DUE TO COVID (ironic isn't it?) 4/13/2023 TWENTY TWENTY THREE- we've been to multiple court dates and John's tactics have works, we're exhausted new parents and we can't do it anymore ‍ anyways, a word of caution, stay away. We've spoken to SEVERAL other couples who have also had to sue the venue and WON (they got their money back thank goodness)
