Sweet Greene Cupcakery, Llc provided us with an exceptional experience from start to finish. Cheryl's communication was fantastic - she was extremely effective, quick to respond, and always happy to clarify any questions we had.

I LOVED my look for the day and Claudia and Alena were also very personable on top of being amazing artists! They perfectly translate the ideas I had for my hair and makeup into a seamless look. I also really appreciated that Claudia did not try to cover up my moles or freckles on my face which kept my look more natural. Additionally, I could tell Alena had looked into my references for my hair between the trial and day of and I really appreciated that level of dedication.

My husband and I are still on cloud 9 from our March 2024 wedding and that is in big part because of Homayra and her team at Tilbury Floral Design. From the beginning, we just clicked with Homayra because of her down-to-earth, caring, enthusiastic, and passionate spirit. Our virtual meetings with her prior to our wedding along with her quick communication and her proposals that included rich visuals, descriptions of each arrangement, pricing options, etc. helped us feel comfortable and confident in her hands. Our vision for our wedding was an all-white Cinderella fairytale and she delivered BEYOND what we envisioned! When we walked into our venues, from the church to the cocktail hour to the reception, with all the floral and candle details and decor, the ambience felt dreamy, romantic, elegant, and magical; it took our breath and - that of our guests - completely away, in the best way possible! We are forever grateful to have crossed paths with Homayra!

Sarah Khan Artistry provides boutique on-location bridal hair and makeup services for you and your bridal attendants. The services provided are to naturally enhance my bride's features and to customize a look that will bring your bridal vision to life!

From the bridal trail to the big day Sarah made my bridal makeup a dream. Before the trial we had a quick call about my vision and the vibe of the big day. During the trial she nailed the look I wanted. I’m a big “trust the artist” type of person, and at the end she made some amazing suggestions that I didn’t even think about for my wedding but was very excited about. Fast forward to the big day and she OUTDID herself! Starting off by making me feel so calm, she gave me an amazing facial massage. Then I let her do her magic (on a very sleep deprived face). She added the touches that we discussed at the trial that would really make the look pop at night. I loved that she knew what the look needed during the trial and then amplified it for the big day. I felt so beautiful and everyone commented on how amazing my makeup was all night long!

Bianca is incredibly talented and just the best! She did the makeup for my May 2024 Indian fusion wedding (both for my wedding day and my Sangeet), and I could not have felt more beautiful. Something that was incredibly important to me when deciding on a MUA was finding an artist that is well experienced with a variety of skin tones. Bianca absolutely killed it while doing a variety of different looks. Leading up to my wedding, I went to Bianca for a few facials. The actual experience of the facial was so relaxing, and my skin was so hydrated and glowing leading up to my wedding. After my wedding, I also asked Bianca if she could do a makeup class for me. She had made me feel truly so beautiful (but still like myself). The class made makeup approachable for someone who has very limited makeup experience. She was SO thorough afterwards in all the materials she sent me with instructions and products listed to be able to recreate the looks we went over. I cannot recommend Bianca enough for all of her services!!

A Virginia native, I’ve been surrounded by nature my entire life, but never more so than when I spent summers on my Grandmother’s 300-acre farm in West Virginia. She raised me to appreciate nature’s beauty and explore what I could create myself. My Grandmother was a powerful woman, raising two babies after having been recently widowed, while also pioneering the farm and putting herself through law school. It is after her that I named my business Mountain Mama Florals. With every event and every client, I strive to provide the level of attention, appreciation, and creativity that she taught me to value.

We felt so comfortable around him and he made the photo taking process so smooth and effortless at our wedding! The photos were absolutely STUNNING. We could not have asked for a better experience or person to capture our special day. He was super communicative prior to the wedding and helped answer and plan for all of the questions that my mom asked him. I am so thankful that Demetric was able to capture so many amazing moments that we will cherish and be able to look back on for a lifetime. 100000% recommend to anyone looking for any type of photos to be taken!

Venue considerations

  • Not for you if you're looking for a sleek and contemporary space
  • Not for you if you are looking for something nontraditional
  • Does not provide event staff
I found The Garden ALX here on Zola and was completely satisfied with our experience. We had a kid-friendly Sunday afternoon reception and the venue fit the bill perfectly. They had multiple packages to choose from and an hourly rate as well. We had a four hour reception and they threw in two hours of free setup and an hour to take down and clear up. They also have yard games and other add ons you can include. Mary was great to work with and helped with any questions along the way. The only advice I would give is to reach out to them directly instead of through Zola for a faster response initially. Given the high price tag if venues in the DC area The Garden is a great option if your wedding is under 100 guests and you are looking to have a more casual reception.

I love how exciting and creative wedding photography can be while also giving me the opportunity to create something that is so meaningful to others. I got started with photography back in Michigan as a kid with my mom's old Minolta SLR. It wasn't until years later at art school in Kansas City that I realized how fulfilling and exciting wedding photography could be. It has been my focus ever since.

I highly HIGHLY recommend Asa! He and his colleague photographed our December '24 wedding and they did an AMAZING job. Asa has such a calming presence and on such a chaotic and stressful day it was so, so needed. He was so wonderful to work with in the planning and helped us make a thoughtful plan to ensure we got all of the photos we wanted. We had a traditional Catholic mass and he and his colleague were able to easily follow all of the Church's rules while capturing the essential moments flawlessly. We got every photo we wanted during the mass which was incredibly impressive. We also got shots at sunset by the water and Asa perfectly captured our vision! These are some of our favorite photos. He also captured all of the energy and fun that we had and we walked away with multiple photos of every single one of our guests which was such a treat. Lastly - his pricing is so fair and really competitive to all the photographers we got quotes from. He was easily able to work with our budget and was flexible to our specific needs. Overall - I would HIGHLY highly recommend Asa!

Here at Windows Catering Company, we know that planning your dream wedding can seem quite overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. It just takes a planning partner who will listen carefully and ensure that your distinct vision is reflected in every detail. Whether your ideal affair is an opulent seated dinner or a coastal buffet served al fresco, we will do all the work to make it your personal expression. Since 1987 we have been creating wonderful weddings in Washington, D.C., Virginia and Maryland.

It was such a pleasure working with Debbie and her team at Windows. They did an amazing job catering our wedding of about 110 people. From the very beginning of the process Debbie was thoughtful, professional, and brought so much attention to detail in our planning. The tasting was fun and allowed us an opportunity to pick and choose what would work best for day of. I also appreciated Debbie’s input when it came to the menu. We had several guests with food allergies and dietary restrictions and windows were able to accommodate all of them. Knowing we not be working with a florist, Windows provided our center pieces. Beautiful white flowers and greenery surrounding three candle holders of different heights. A beautiful touch that helped bring the space together. When it came to day of planning, Debbie was able to help with managing a smooth timeline and ensure all the food was prepared and ready tasting its absolute best. We’ve received tons of compliments on how delicious the food was from our guests. The short rib melted in your mouth and the Halibut was cooked to perfection and served to guests quickly not compromising its quality. For our vegan friends they noted the cauliflower steak was one of the best dishes they’ve had at a wedding. All in all we cannot recommend Windows enough! There are usually two ways people remember wedding food and we feel so lucky that guests walked away full and raving about how good ours was!

I've really come to value the unexpected, intimate moments that take place on a wedding day. The hug your mom gives you before you leave your dressing room.

This day is about more than the flowers and the shoes you chose. It's about celebrating the start of a new family. It's an honor to play a part in such a significant day and I hope you'll choose me to be a part of yours!

The venue was just the right size for the wedding we wanted and the style made us think of the place we got engaged, on the Acropolis in Athens. The venue has a lovely indoor gallery space as well as a courtyard and we hat our ceremony outdoors and the reception indoors. A few things you should keep in mind if you are considering the Athenaeum: the space is on the small side, which we liked, but may not suffice for some weddings; you have to choose one of their recommended caterers or pay an added fee (though we were very happy with the caterers we went with and they knew exactly how the venue worked!); the venue does not include anything beyond the actual space, all vendors and services need to be hired separately. For us, this all worked out well and we felt our guests had a great time! The venue also makes for a beautiful backdrop for photos, just make sure to reserve the parking spaces in front of it. Our only minor issue was that the rental manager was not super responsive, but his coworker was, so it wasn't a problem in the end, I just didn't know who to reach out to at first. All in all, we are so happy we got to have our wedding at the Athenaeum! The art on display on the day was cheerful and modern and everything went according to plan. So excited to see more picture and relive the special day!

Life is about enjoying special moments. It is all in the details and we pay attention to your needs and create an event that reflects your personality. We work hard to ensure each detail is captured and memorable. Let’s work together and have an unforgettable moment.

Natasha worked with Bianca for our wedding this past October, and let me just say this up front to any bride/groom: you may THINK you are type A and can handle any and every small detail in your wedding. You may THINK "how many decisions could I possibly need help with if I already have all of my vendors selected and every event for the weekend is in the same place? EASY." Welp, let me tell you folks--it is decidedly *not*. We had our wedding at the Intercontinental on the Wharf: all 3 wedding events throughout the weekend. I hired Natasha as some decisions were becoming mildly overwhelming and her prices were *chefs kiss*. When I say she and Bianca saved the day MULTIPLE times during our weekend, I am not overstating. She made every vendor organizational correspondence and handled all last minute questions they had--it was the best decision I made about the wedding (minus the groom, he's #1 ;)). Do yourself a favor as the price is MORE than absolutely worth the help and bliss Natasha will deliver you--BOOK.HER.IMMEDIATELY. She also already has working relationships with numerous vendors and locations in the city, which was astoundingly helpful. Seriously. Just book her and truly enjoy your wedding planning process!
