Your wedding.
Never a template.
Your inspiration is the beginning. Your story makes it yours.
We start with the photos you love, then get curious about your relationship, your tastes and the quirky little details that belong to you. Those conversations shape the design, the guest experience and how we plan together.
There’s no signature wedding we keep recreating. We build around your priorities, with candid advice, clear next steps and a planning process that fits where you are starting.
Care carries beyond the celebration.
We donate leftover wedding flowers to hospice, sharing a little of your celebration’s joy with people who could use it.

Always unmistakably yours.
Your wedding.
Your level of backup.
Our package names celebrate the fun of planning a wedding. The difference is how much you want us alongside you.
Primetime
For couples who have chosen their vendors and shaped the celebration, and want an experienced team to coordinate the details and manage the wedding day.
Hootenanny
For couples ready to turn a booked venue into a personal celebration. We guide the planning, develop the event design and manage the wedding.
Shindig
For couples who want a partner for the whole experience, from finding the venue and building the vendor team to design, logistics and the final send-off.

“Joe was able to meet with my son and his fiancé and glean from them what sort of feel and look they wanted for their event before they could even articulate it themselves. His organization and attention to detail was flawless.”

Tell us what you’re dreaming up.
Meet Joe and the Contagious Events team. We bring honest advice, close collaboration and a little well-placed mischief to celebrations across Boston and New England.
Share the essentials. You don’t need a finished vision, a venue or all the answers to start the conversation.
Your story, in a few blanks.
Wherever you are in the planning, we’d love to hear what you have in mind.
Do you only plan Boston weddings?
Boston is home base. We plan celebrations across Massachusetts and New England, including Provincetown, and welcome conversations about events beyond the region.
When should we get in touch?
There’s no hard booking deadline. Shindig and Hootenanny couples typically book 12–18 months ahead; Primetime is often about six months out. We’ve also planned weddings in weeks.
Can you help if we’ve already started?
Absolutely. Whether you’ve booked a venue, hired most of your vendors or are still looking for a starting point, we’ll help identify the level of support that fits.
