Wedding/reception locations in the Boston area

So, I recently became engaged and am starting to begin the long process of wedding planning. People have informed me that the first thing to do is book a location.

The catch: my fiancee and I are both vegetarian and it's quite important to us that the food we serve is meat-free. Also, we want food that is exceptionally yummy! Any ideas for catering? Restaurants? We are not attached to having an evening affair, so brunch/lunch/afternoon tea are options as well.

Since we are also in our early 20s and will be funding the affair ourselves mostly, we need to keep things on the moderately priced side.

Your favorite olive oil?

One of the things I've been tasting around for is a great extra virgin olive oil...it's one of those items it's worth spending some money on! What oil do you get, and where do you get it?

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: A Year of Chocolate

It depends on the other flavors involved.

Straight: dark chocolate always wins. There's just so much more complexity. Also, it goes so well with fruit.

Buuuutt...milk chocolate is awfully good in combination with things like almonds and toffee.

Fresh basil. We only ever had dried spices at home and wow, does fresh make a difference.

Also, feta cheese. Good on salads...pasta...pizza...veggies...sometimes I'll make a dish just for an excuse to put feta on top.
