Awarded Best of Zola
Society 11:11 and Manpreet were so easy to work with, and made sure I was comfortable and beautiful on my wedding day! I have curly hair, and was very concerned about finding a stylist who was confident working with texture. From my first meeting with the Society 11:11 team, I was at ease. Manpreet worked with me during my trial to make sure I had exactly the look that I wanted, and that I felt comfortable giving feedback about any changes I wanted to make. On my wedding day, she worked with me, as well as my sister, mom, and mother-in-law. She made us all feel great, while still looking like ourselves. I loved her ability to elevate our features in both makeup and hair styling, especially as a group of people who do not wear a lot of makeup day-to-day. I loved working with Manpreet and would recommend her and the whole team at Society 11:11! Photo courtesy of https://vnessphotography.com/

Rating: 5.0 (31 reviews)
  • Bar services & beverages
  • Serves Carson, VA

French Honey Hospitality is an all-inclusive bar service based in Virginia, specializing in curated cocktails that take a personal spin on the newlyweds-to-be. Led by owner Maegan Parrish, this traveling bar and bartending business brings custom experiences to weddings across Virginia and surrounding areas. With personalized menus and signature drinks, you can enjoy a cocktail hour and reception that is literally made for you.

Awarded Best of Zola
French Honey Hospitality was my dream vendor and genuinely one of the highlights of my entire wedding experience. Maegan walked with me through every decision, offering ideas, sending examples of past custom cocktails she created, and even mailing me ingredients and a cocktail mixer so I could taste test when I was stuck between drink choices. I ultimately went with something entirely different, and she was endlessly patient with my indecisiveness while still giving guidance and helping me shape the vibe I wanted. On the wedding day, Maegan and her husband, Stewart, were absolute rockstars. The espresso martini tower was a major moment and disappeared faster than I could grab a second (guests are still raving about it). Every interaction with Maegan made me feel taken care of. She communicates clearly, delivers beautifully, and cares deeply about her couples. She’s trustworthy, talented, and brings a level of heart into her work that you can feel. If you are considering French Honey Hospitality, don’t hesitate. She will elevate your wedding in the best way possible!

Katie and her team were amazing to work with! We had rented out a large vacation house as our venue, so we had to bring in everything ourselves as far as setting up tables/chairs, linens, decor, etc. Not only did Katie deliver on this and make sure everything I imagined in my head came to life, but her calming presence always made me feel like no matter what, everything was going to be ok and get done. She truly made sure we had the wedding of our dreams! I cannot say enough great things about Katie and her team. You will not be disappointed if you work with Lotus Events for your wedding!

Let’s just talk about it. You spend months (sometimes years) planning your wedding - the colors, the outfits, the chargers, every little detail. But the place people gather, meet, and spend the most time? The bar. And somehow that’s the part people overlook. A great bartender sets the tone for the whole night. At Cheers, we actually care. We take time to get to know you, show up ready to celebrate with your people, and make sure the bar adds to the energy of the night - not takes away from it. Your wedding deserves that. Love y’all.

We used Cheers Mobile Bartending LLC for our pre-wedding event on November 7th and were elated with our experience. From our first communication, Katie was personable and extremely flexible with bringing our event together. Working with her team was an easy process as was purchasing for the event.

We selected an apple cider margarita that was a perfect choice for early November and a huge hit with our guests. Overall, we would easily recommend Cheers Mobile Bartending!

Hire Moy!!! Moy is INCREDIBLE! We hired Moy for our elopement in Colorado and reception in Richmond, and he did our engagement pictures. Moy was amazing to work with! He is so fun and helped us open up and feel comfortable during shooting. He had such a great vision for each of our events, and they came out perfectly in the photos! We are obsessed with his photos and his style of photography! Our elopement in Colorado was extra special because it was just us, and Moy beautifully captured our marriage! I still cry every time I look at our pictures! He captured each of our events perfectly and he was amazing to work with! We would 1000% hire Moy again! Thank you so much Moy!

Stephanie is the bomb dot com. Seriously. She saved the day when our original photographer had to drop out and I’m SO GRATEFUL FOR HER!!!!!!! Her photography style is exactly what we were looking for and she’s so so good at what she does. She helps to pose you when you don’t know what you’re doing but she’s also so good at capturing candid moments. She’s also such a fun person to be around and it made the whole day even better! She and her second shooter managed to capture our whole day without ever feeling in the way. She’s very good about deliverables and her photos are out of this world gorgeous. I highly recommend you hire her!!!!!!

Welcome! So glad you found me. I’m Stacy, owner and design lead of Ethos Floral Events. I truly love flowers and the implementaion that comes from designing with florals and fauna. Helping clients choose florals, curating thoughtful elements for their wedding day while maintaining sustainable practices is at the soul center of my business. We serve the central Virginia area, NC and beyond. Richmond, Charlottesville & the Shenandoah Valley.

Ethos Floral Events was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, they demonstrated a prompt, personal, and thoughtful communication style that put us at ease. The floral arrangements they created for our ceremony and reception were truly stunning - personal, intimate, and artistically crafted to make everyone feel like we were celebrating in an enchanting garden - I was waiting for a fairy to pop out - so magical and romantic. Their attention to detail and commitment to making our day special shone through in every aspect of their work - our arbor was stunning and they transformed our home and yard into a romantic getaway. We were thrilled with the final result and received so many compliments from our guests on the beautiful florals. Ethos Floral Events helped to make our wedding day feel warm, romantic, and utterly unique. We highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented, personable, and passionate floral designer.

The Workshop was everything I hoped for in a wedding venue — a true blank canvas that allowed me to bring my personal style to life. Kerith was incredibly helpful from the start, clearly outlining what was already available in the space (tables, linens, chairs, hurricanes, and more) and what could be customized. I chose to rent and bring in a few items of my own to complete the look I envisioned, and Kerith was supportive every step of the way — even helping with some of the custom touches herself. What really sets The Workshop apart is its flexibility. Weddings aren’t one-size-fits-all, and having access to a variety of décor options already on-site made it so much easier to create a celebration that felt uniquely ours. Even better — so many of these items were included in the rental, which helped us stay within budget without sacrificing style. Kerith is clearly building something special: a community-centered space where people can celebrate life’s biggest moments without breaking the bank. In a world where weddings can quickly become overwhelming and expensive, it’s refreshing to see a venue that encourages sharing and sustainability. I truly believe more brides should be talking about spaces like this. The Workshop isn’t just a venue; it’s part of a movement to make beautiful events more accessible for everyone.

Hi, I am Melanie Cooper. I am an intimate wedding photographer based in Richmond, Virginia. I love everything about this amazing city. But most of all I love the people. Being a photographer has given me the opportunity to meet so many people in the area. Hopefully that will include you!

Would choose Melanie again and again. I actively recommend her to friends and acquaintances who say they’re engaged. She is super friendly, upbeat and good at her job. She blends in well and there are pictures that I don’t even remember her being there for. We had our photo shoot time, our candid time and I feel like she allowed the day to run how we wanted it to while also getting all the pictures we wanted.
