Lazo’s picks: wedding planners in Boston
12 picks · read 2026-10-12We read the website of every Boston wedding planner listed on Lazo (143 listings, 119 sites reachable) and set aside the ones that are not really in the wedding business: justices of the peace and officiants, a makeup artist, a backyard-rental package company, venues with in-house coordinators, and a Western Massachusetts planner well outside the metro. What is left is a shortlist of vendors who say clearly what they do, show their work, and tell you how they work. Verified Lazo vendors come first. Nobody paid to be here, and this is not a ranking: Lazo ranks only on reviews from couples who booked.

Wedding Planners in Boston: questions couples ask
When is wedding season in Boston?
Peak season in Boston runs May to October. June through October is the main season, with fall foliage driving demand for September and October dates; winters are cold and snowy.
How far ahead should we book a wedding planner in Boston?
Plan on 12-18 months out for a peak-season Saturday. A wedding planner can only take one wedding a day, so popular dates go first.
How much does a wedding planner cost in Boston?
Most couples spend $800-$4,500+. Lazo does not yet hold verified booking prices for Boston, so treat this as a national range and ask each wedding planner for their packages.
What time is sunset for an August wedding in Boston?
Around 7:45 PM on August 15, with golden hour from about 7:06 PM. For portraits in that light, a ceremony near 5:00 PM works.
How do we get a marriage license in Massachusetts?
Apply with the city or town clerk. The fee is $25-$50 and there is a 3-day waiting period. The license is valid for 60 days, and no witnesses are needed.
