Contagious Events

Contagious Events is a Boston-based wedding planning and design company led by Joe Rogers, offering full-service planning, design and production, and day-of coordination for couples across New England. The team builds every wedding from scratch with no templates, charges a flat fee with no percentages or commissions, and offers three named service tiers: full-service planning (Shindig), design and production for couples who already have a venue (Hootenanny), and final-month coordination (Primetime). Joe Rogers founded Contagious Events in 2008, after working as a meeting planner running 180 events a year; he has also planned events ranging from high school pep rallies to a Guinness World Record attempt. Contagious Events works with couples getting married in Boston, Cape Cod, Newport, Provincetown, and beyond across New England. Couples highlight Joe's responsiveness, vendor coordination, ability to keep large-party weddings on schedule, and his team's capacity to transform a space or non-traditional format into a result that surprises even skeptical guests; several also note the value of the Contagious client portal for tracking tasks, guest counts, and budgets.
