Dearly Studio - Somerville, Massachusetts

we cannot say enough good things about Dearly. this venue was perfect for our very small wedding and was exactly what we pictured for our day. jusmine is an amazing point of contact - more available than i ever imagined, SO beyond helpful and accommodating and communicative in a timely manner. the way she puts the day together for you, with everything being customizable yet so stress free, is truly unmatched. we love this space so much and it was truly everything we imagined and more. a seamless process that kept the day focused on love

We were planning on doing a (boring) courthouse ceremony or similar before we found Dearly Studio at a book fair in Bow Market and fell in love. It was the best decision ever. Jusmine has created such a beautiful, meticulously curated space that feels incredibly intimate and mid-century glam all at once. My family and friends were obsessed with Dearly’s vibe and raved over all the details. If you also break out in hives about event planning, Dearly will ease your fears. I sent a playlist, ordered a (delicious!!!) cake from Dearly’s site, and everything was beautifully arranged when my crew arrived — we could focus on our ceremony and celebrating with family and friends. The location is perfect to stop by the many bars/restaurants in Bow for an after-ceremony celebration. Jusmine is as warm and welcoming as this beautiful venue; she made herself super available throughout the process and even afterward, and you can really feel how much she loves love! We’re so glad we found Dearly, we’d get hitched here a million times over and will be finding reasons to return and reminisce about our completely perfect Dearly day!

When my partner and I picked a wedding date, 3 months ago, we were freaked out and had no idea how we would plan a wedding so last minute. We contacted Jusmine at Dearly and immediately felt at ease, and like it would all work out. We had the pleasure of going with the Union in Union package, which included usage of Dearly Studio for pre-ceremony bridal photos in the beautiful studio space and then some time in Juliet Restaurant's event space a quick walk down the street for the ceremony itself (as we had quite a long guest list for a micro-wedding 🙂 ).

Jusmine wrote such a sentimental personalized ceremony for us (there was not a dry eye in the house) and since she was out of the country the weekend of the wedding, set us up with another fabulous Justice of the Peace, Kimm Topping, who was such a joy to have as part of our ceremony.

We had such a beautiful wedding day, filled with so much joy and celebration-- Jusmine and Dearly Studios made that happen and we are so eternally grateful.

You cannot go wrong with Dearly Studio!!!!

Absolutely LOVE Dearly Studio! We had our wedding here in November and it was everything we could have hoped for. Jusmine was so thoughtful and kind, and she has developed the perfect combination of features available. We were able to do things our own way - small, intimate, just close family - but also have a photographer, a cocktail hour, and great food from Juliet. Truly got to have the experience that was perfect for us.

Thank you for such an amazing experience 🙂

We had a tiny wedding ceremony at Dearly with just our immediate family. The space is so cute, beautifully decorated in a way that feels both of-the-moment and timeless. Jusmine put together a wonderful script for the ceremony, poured us some great bubbly, and made sure we had an amazing time. Dearly is a perfect place to have an intimate wedding!

THE BEST LITTLE MICRO WEDDING CHAPEL IN THE WORLD!! I am obsessed. My partner and I had our 10th wedding anniversary/recommitment ceremony here in May and it was so special and lovely!! Jussie is the most magical, kind, and chill human and she made our event beautiful and no-stress. She set up our decor (flowers, photos) and cake beautifully and snapped the cutest little Polaroids for us post-ceremony. Her communication skills are impeccable; her eye for design is enviable (please rub off on me); her ideas for ceremonies and events are brilliant, intentional, unique, and personalized. I would trust Jussie with anything, I'm not even kidding. She is THE best!!! Love her to bits and pieces of tiny confetti and sprinkles and glitter.

The space itself is gorgeous — and if you're a loyal Bow-Marketeer like me, you've seen that space through at least 3 incarnates (is that the right use of that word? Whatever we're not here for grammar). Having witnessed it be built up by Jussie and her hubs (some of those IG reels were too funny), I'm so impressed by the cozy, romantic, effortless vibe they've created. I'm o b s e s s e d with the chartreuse curtains, the vintage glassware, the marble table (girl I will gladly take it off your hands anytime!), the XOXO tiles omgggg, EVERYTHING. The ceiling fleurs!! Everything is wonderful and lovely, creating a romantic vibe that also allows for space for what the couple/lovers/newlyweds/alreadyweds/etc want to bring into the space to add their own personal touch.

Go have a party here. Get married here. Propose to someone here. Take portraits of humans or pets here. Attend events here! Yes, it's a multi-hyphenate space. We love. We adore. We respect. For as long as we all shall live. xoxo

PS: Enjoy the pics attached, shot by the incredibly sweet and talented photographer (and Dearly partner vendor) Carlie Febo! Some shots of our ceremony, our 'first dance', and one of the beautiful bud vases by our florist, Lindsey, of Whimsy Floral Studio (another must rec!). Y'all, just look at how happy we are to be honoring our love in Dearly!! Swoon. <3

I can not say enough good things about Dearly and Jusmine. If you are looking for a smaller wedding this is the place to come. The space is perfect, and Jusmine is the perfect balance of professional and personable. My husband and I had a small wedding here and just had the perfect day - we wouldn’t change a thing. Truly the highest recommendation - a day I’ll never forget. Thanks Jusmine!

Dearly Studio and Jusmine are amazing and I can't recommend this venue enough! We were debating getting married at city hall but the idea of standing in a corridor just felt a little bit depressing. Somehow I heard about Dearly at Bow Market and as soon as we went to have a look at the space we were both totally sold on getting married there! There are so many pretty decorative touches that make it feel like a lot of thought has gone into the room.

We maxed out the space at 20 guests and it was definitely cosy but didn't feel at all cramped. It was a lovely size to feel like we actually got to talk to and hang out with all of our guests on the day, rather than throwing a big wedding and barely seeing some of the attendees at all.

Jusmine was incredibly responsive and accommodating as we figured out all of the details of ceremony wording, decorations, music, entrances and timing exactly as we wanted them. I also love that the ceremony setup and wording defaults to being gender-neutral and inclusive of all types of relationships, with the option to customise it to be as traditional or specific or personal as you like!

We had such a beautiful day and it couldn't have gone off better. It felt so perfectly Somerville to get married at Bow Market and we got so many great photos and memories of the day. Thank you again Jusmine and Dearly! I honestly wish I had an excuse to throw another party to have a good reason to hire out Dearly again for it.
