Kelly Boyle, Owner | Creating elegant, whimsical, one-of-a-kind celebrations in Boston, the Berkshires

05/11/2025

The 2025 season has officially wrapped, and I’ve been thinking back to where it all began — Ocean Edge Resort & Golf Club.

The weather that day was awful. Cold, windy, sideways rain kind of awful. But somehow, it was still incredible.
The joy, the laughter, the way everyone leaned in — it reminded me that the best days aren’t always the perfect ones.

It was the most unexpected start to the season and, looking back, the perfect one too.

The ceremony location at The Bradley Estate is absolutely stunning, and after two weddings on-site, I finally got to experience a ceremony there and it did not disappoint.

The first time I worked there, the couple had a church ceremony and a tented reception. The second time, it rained and we moved the ceremony under the tent (and it was magical).

This time, for J & S, the weather showed up right on cue, and the ceremony was everything we hoped for.

There’s just something about this venue. The gardens, the views, the history all make it so special. It’s elegant without being stuffy, timeless but never predictable.

Third time really was the charm.

Before the first look, before the music and the laughter, there’s this.
The quiet moments — the dress hanging, the bouquet waiting, the vows ready to be read.
For A & S at Willowdale Estate, every detail reflected who they are. A soft, timeless beginning to a day that unfolded with so much heart.

Dreaming of a Cape Cod wedding that feels relaxed, coastal, and personal?

Nauticus Marina is the prefect location, tucked away in Osterville on North Bay, with waterfront views, boat slips, and event spaces that give you real freedom.

For L & N, that meant staying on-site, gathering 140 guests for a lobster and steak buffet, and dancing the night away with a live band from . It felt like a full weekend—fun, warm, and deeply connected.

There’s something about Cape weddings — they always seem to linger long after the day is done..

The final wedding of the season is here, and it feels like the perfect ending.

This work asks a lot — time, energy, care, and a piece of your heart with every couple you walk alongside. And somehow, the end of each season always arrives with a mix of gratitude, emotion, and a quiet pause to take it all in.

Closing the year with L & D feels especially meaningful. We’ve been on this journey together for so long, and being invited into their story has been a joy. We’ve shared ideas, conversations about what matters most to them, and so many moments that reminded me why I love what I do. To see it all come to life this weekend feels like the most beautiful way to end the season.

It’s not just another wedding. It’s a celebration held with intention. A weekend wrapped in love, surrounded by the people who helped shape their story. And I feel honored to be part of it.

My heart is ready for this one.

Some ceremonies stay with you long after the day is over.
M &M’s at the State Room was one of them — deeply personal, filled with intention, and overflowing with love.

They chose not to see each other before the ceremony and asked that no one stand in the aisle, so their first look would be just theirs — unobstructed, unhurried, and completely full of feeling.It was one of those moments that reminded everyone in the room what this is really about: connection, presence, and love that takes your breath away.

I’ll be back at this venue this weekend, but this day will always hold a special place in my heart.

Some weddings are grand, others are quiet — and then there are the ones that feel like home.

E & A’s backyard celebration was exactly that. A day rooted in love, surrounded by family, and filled with the kind of warmth that comes from blending two families into one.

No big production, no overthinking — just connection, joy, and so much love. The kind of day that reminds you what it’s all really about.

Rustic charm. Elegant details. Endless heart.

J & A’s April wedding at The Barn at Gibbet Hill was everything a spring celebration should be — cozy, timeless, and full of love.

Somewhere between the timelines, the late-night emails, the long drives and the bubble exits — I remembered just how much I love this work. Creating moments that matter, for people who matter even more.

September, you were SOMETHING!

Three weddings and oral surgery, all within the month.

It’s hard to believe there are only two more LJE weddings left in 2025 — a year that’s been equal parts beautiful, busy, and full of the kind of love stories that remind me why I do what I do.

Grateful for every couple who’s trusted me with their day, every vendor who’s made it magic, and every quiet moment that’s reminded me to take a breath (or a soft food break).

Here’s to fall, the final stretch - I’ll never stop being amazed at what can happen in a single season.

Every incredible wedding starts with an incredible team.

I’m endlessly grateful for the talented, creative, and kindhearted vendors I get to collaborate with — the florists who bring visions to life, the photographers who capture every emotion, the caterers who make the celebration taste as good as it feels, and the countless pros who make the magic happen behind the scenes.

A wedding planner’s role goes far beyond logistics. It’s about connection — knowing who to call, trusting how they’ll show up, and building relationships that make the entire experience seamless for our couples.

When you hire a planner with deep industry relationships, you’re not just getting recommendations — you’re gaining a team that works in sync, anticipates one another’s needs, and shares one goal: creating a celebration that feels unmistakably you.

Feeling extra grateful for this community and all we’ve created together.

Our Mission

At LeslieJames Events, we know that you cherish each and every fleeting moment. Nothing is more important than time spent with your loved ones as you make memories to last a lifetime. We know that you’re willing and able to do it all, because you already do and always have. You support your friends and family, pursue your passions, slay all day, and do everything with a giggle and a smile.

The truth is that life doesn’t always go as planned. Your plate is full, and although you’re armed with a sense of humor and a heart of gold, the stress and frustration of planning an event can take away from what’s really important: celebrating this magical, wonderful, imperfectly perfect life.

That’s where we come in — making magic from the imperfectly perfect.

We believe in hugs. We believe in finding joy in the simple things and rolling with the punches. We believe that to grow where you’re planted, you need to be nurtured. We believe in the power of tradition. We believe in telling stories while inspiring new ones. Because in this imperfectly perfect life, each magical moment should become a lasting memory.
