I cannot recommend Candice and the team of women at Society 11:11 enough! She did my makeup for my wedding, along with my MOA and my mom, and every single one of us was blown away by her talent. My mom even loved her makeup so much she didn’t want to remove it! Candice truly is the best at what she does, using top-tier products to create flawless looks. Before my wedding shower, I was dealing with stress-related skin irritation and redness, and Candice worked her magic to make my skin look flawless. Her recommendations were spot-on and showed her expertise. I utilized both hair and makeup services and everyone LOVED their look-thank you to the ladies who were apart of the hair team! I am now a client for life! I will continuously book with Candice because her work is unmatched. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making me feel beautiful on such an important day!

Marta was phenomenal to work with. Hiring All in the Details was one of the best choices I made for our wedding—hands down. Marta is so on top of things but has a very calming presence that was so great in the midst of planning anxiety. She put the decor together perfectly and made our vision come to life better than we imagined. Our wedding was at a family home and Marta was invaluable helping us figure out how to make it work for a wedding. Our families were blown away by how wonderful she was. From the big picture items like layout to the small things like making us vinyl decals for the corn hole boards when our Etsy order was lost in the mail, Marta was on top of it. I cannot recommend working with her enough and we will certainly use her for any family events or showers we host. Thank you for making our day magical!

Poppin' Peonies began to bud in 2020 & it has flourished since! I'm Bre, I am a solo-traveling florist and LOVE any type of adventure. Floral design began as a hobby and grew into a true passion. I love gardening and source primarily from local farms (in addition to my own garden!) as much as possible to give each client the best product possible. Being a part of your special day is a wonderful experience to encounter. Helping create the overall aesthetic of the event and watching the pieces come together amazes me each and every time. I look forward to meeting you and hope to bring that unique floral touch to your wedding day!

Bre was, in a word, INCREDIBLE! From start to finish, we knew she was someone we could really trust. She was so great at bringing our visions to life, was super flexible, and was always full of helpful suggestions thanks to her expertise! When things got a little hectic with wedding planning (as things always do), Bre was one person I never ever felt like I needed to worry about! She always made me feel like she had everything completely handled with her occasional check-ins and told me to let her know if she could be of any more help. She would get back to me often times within HOURS. On the day of our wedding, Bre had such a calm presence and had everything looking amazing before I even knew it was all set up! It felt like she anticipated everything - she even had a few extra blooms to add to our cake! She is such a gem as a person and is so easy to talk to, not to mention the incredible skill and reliability she brings to the table. It is a rare talent to be able to translate someone’s words and vision to reality! Bre, thank you so much for making our wedding so beautiful, and thank you for also being someone I enjoyed getting to know!

We absolutely loved working with Stephen and Rosie! The video they made of our wedding day was better than we could have imagined and their eye for detail and composition is unsurpassed. From the first time we talked with them on the phone we felt absolutely at ease and knew they were the right decision. This is a team that loves love and is so gifted at capturing all the little details that make a wedding video so special. I really appreciated that the voices of us and our loved ones were recorded and used through the video. They asked what was important to us and made sure those people and moments were captured in our video. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors, were always so kind, and you can tell they genuinely love what they do. My husband is camera shy and was nervous that he would feel like he was being recorded all day. After the wedding, he said he didn't even notice they were there, which is wonderful since they captured him laughing and smiling all day. I would absolutely recommend them for your special day!

Jessica and her team did the florals for our wedding, and they were AMAZING! She was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. I reached out to many florists, and she was patient and intentional, taking my mumbled jumbled ideas and putting together something magical for our big day. No idea was too big or small. We had several one-on-one meetings, and she put together an inspirational slide deck. That’s when I truly started to see all the pieces coming together! She worked within my budget and let me know beforehand if there would be any additional costs based on what I wanted. It was also nice because I could handle all my floral rentals through her (things like vases and candles) without needing to contact additional vendors. On the actual wedding day, Jessica and her team were incredibly kind, keeping me at ease. I trusted her to get creative and make decisions when I didn't have an exact plan for something.

My husband and I knew we lucked out when we found out Jules was available to shoot our wedding! From the very beginning (engagement shoot), Jules did an amazing job pulling our personalities out for every. single. picture! Jules took the time to get to know us as a couple, she truly listened to our vision, and she brought that vision to life! More specifically, Jules managed the tight timeline like a PRO and made shooting in 30 degrees still FUN! Jules will be our photographer for life. I'm so thankful to have had her for our wedding!

The Boathouse at Sunday Park provided a stunning venue for our wedding. Kristan Hughes, the event coordinator, was extremely prompt and sincere in her communication, providing detailed responses to all our questions. The natural beauty and spaciousness of the venue, with its gorgeous views, perfectly complemented our wedding vision. On the big day, Kristan made sure everything ran smoothly so I felt relaxed rather than stressed. She brought my dream wedding to life by making sure all the details were organized and set up just as I had hoped. I cannot recommend Kristan and the Boathouse highly enough for couples looking for a venue that will contribute to a special, memorable wedding day.

This 10 acre farm features a historic home, scenic tree-lined drive, multiple barns, and a large tented patio.

Whatever you desire, we can make it happen!

Jennifer is absolutely fantastic! We hired her for partial planning and day-of coordination, and it was one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning. In the months before the wedding, she was always responsive and happy to chat on the phone when we needed to run through ideas and questions. She had great vendor recommendations and suggestions for making our wedding more sustainable. Day-of, she took our vision for our wedding day and made it a reality. She managed all of the vendors, 2 different venues, and all of the chaos that comes with wedding guests (all the way down to tracking down the groom's lost tie clip!). We couldn't have had the best day without her!

This is the perfect wedding venue if you want a historic venue and have a small to medium wedding! We had about 50 guests, and felt that it was the perfect amount for the space. The Linden Row team was a dream to work with! Alexa was incredibly responsive to all of our emails. Their partnership with Groovin’ Gourmets truly made our planning so much easier as the staff have great relationships and are used to working together. For all that was included, we felt the price was fair, however keep in mind that in the event of rain, you will also need to work with one of their approved tent vendors since there is not an adequate indoor space for a wedding. This is not their fault, but something we wished we talked through more in the early stages of planning! The room blocks were super easy to set up and we were given a log in to track who had already booked a room. For any guests that are staying in the hotel, it was easy for them to get breakfast on site. All of our guests said they loved their stay at Linden Row. There was another event in downtown Richmond the weekend of our wedding, so parking was a challenge, but again, it is not Linden Row’s fault, just something to keep in mind when booking a room or a wedding.
