Eunice Makeup Artist

“I had contracted a makeup artist for my wedding way in advance and 2 months before the wedding she decided to up her prices on me! That didn’t sit well with me so I began a search for a new one. I found Eunice and thankfully, someone on her team was available. They were so reasonably priced, so responsive, did an amazing trial and short notice, and then day of she even fit in someone extra. The makeup artist and Eunice were both so incredible and kind, I couldn’t recommend them enough. I also had a diverse set of bridesmaids and they were able to work with all our skin tones, which is something I really looked for in a MUA!!”

“I almost don't have the words to describe how perfect our wedding day was because of Jeremy, but I'm going to give it a go! One of the most important aspects of the evening to me and my partner was the music that would be played for our event. We spent a literal year going over what songs we wanted to have played for the big night, and Jeremy effortlessly took the playlists we provided him and made the night a HIT. I even had someone come up to me on the dace floor and say "This guy rocks! I want him at my wedding!", and if that doesn't tell you how amazing he was, I don't know what will. Truly, the best.”

“After friends shared a photo of my then fiance and me at their own wedding, we hired the photographer who took it. This was Nina! That one photo inspired us to review the gallery of their entire wedding and then her portfolio and we were blown away. 7 months later our own wedding day arrived. My husband and I are the type of people who are wildly present and constantly forget to take photographs of our life together. We knew we wanted to capture this day without the photography becoming a chore or hindering our ability to do what we do best and enjoy our time. Nina was able to provide just that and was incredible (as was the second photographer she worked with for our big day). Nina seamlessly handled all the chaotic moments and pre-ceremony stress of the very emotional bride (me) in stride! With very little direction she navigated all aspects of a wedding day with absolute poise and grace. I cannot thank her enough for taking on such leadership and just GETTING IT DONE! Nina captured all the big and tiny pieces that go into a wedding and I felt her photo choices, angles, and poses perfectly captured the essence of me and my husband's personalities. At every avenue Nina was a professional, personable, and I never expected I could be so satisfied with a collection of photographs. THANK YOU SO MUCH NINA.”

When I am not behind the camera or editing photos, I enjoy short Uber rides to bottomless brunch on the weekends; right now mimosas and I kinda have a thing going on! I have a special relationship with bourbon and FIRMLY believe in putting food on the grill during late afternoons should be the norm. I am blessed to be married to the happiest person on earth (I am so serious), who just happens to double as my favorite person. She keeps me grounded and never fails to remind me how great she is.

“My husband and I decided just 10 days out to have a mini-mony and while I knew we were going to hire a photographer, we were on the fence about hiring a videographer. I. Am. So. Glad. We. Did!! Desmond was responsive and professional from the start. There are a lot of great videographers but what set Desmond and his team apart is their background in film making! I knew he would use his creativity to commemorate our mini-mony with such authenticity and energy. We decided to do an IG reel and a longer video. When Desmond sent over the IG reel it carried such energy… by the end of it we were clapping as if we just watched a great movie! He truly delivered and in such a timely fashion. Our longer video is on its way, but will be delivered weeks in advance. Absolutely no regrets hiring Fine Art! Planned a beautiful small wedding and I’m glad I had an artist like Desmond to add the finishing touches to commemorate the day!”

Our detail-oriented brains work similarly so the planning resources the company provided were spot-on. Most importantly, Ja'el and her team treated our wedding as unique even though the team had at least 2 other weddings to tackle the same day. She listened to our concerns and validated our experiences every step of the way. We'll really miss working with her team and highly recommend The Coordinated Collective to anyone planning their wedding in the DMV.”

“Let me start with District Winery is a fabulous wedding venue! For starters, it is gorgeous inside and out with a besutiful waterfront location. That alone wooed us, but the real wooing came from Latoria, the DW sales manager, who was fantastic to work with. She was incredibly patient answering all of our many questions before we signed the contract and afterwards letting us know the next steps. Another fantastic aspect of weddings at DW is that they assign you an event manager - and now this is where the big, huge thanks come into play. Samantha was absolutely incredible to work with! She was our event manager and left no detail unaccounted for. From our first email exchange to our final walkthrough and then the final, final details, she answered every question and ensured everything was set and ready to go. She is very detail oriented and the spreadsheet she gave us to complete with all of our decor, dietary restrictions, etc. ensured fantastic organization and that everyone was on the same page. Day-of, I could not believe how perfectly everything turned out with our decor, flowers, and food. The food at DW is fantastic - if you haven’t been yet for a visit - go! Everyone knows that you don’t go to a wedding and expect great food and wine, but that is not the case here at DW. After our unbelievable tasting night (which was just insanely awesome), we had to narrow down our favorites which was hard to do!One of my favorite aspects of a wedding is cocktail hour and they delighted with the passed hors d’oeuvres, food stations (including a cheese tower), and bar! Also, as my husband and I keep saying- the best money we spent was on the gorgeous and fun champagne tower! Obviously, I can’t say enough great things about our wedding at District Winery. If we could do it all over again, we would and we wouldn’t change a thing! Huge thanks to Samantha and District Winery for making our dream day come true!”

“I worked with Andi at a wedding recently as the photographer, and she was incredible!! There are so many intimate moments on a wedding day, and things move so quickly. She was never interfering with any intimate moments just for the video, and was able to keep up with the pace of the day effortlessly. As a photographer, I am always a little apprehensive with who the videographer is, because frequently they don't communicate well or can get in the way during special moments, but Andi was always cognizant of where I was so that the client could receive the best images AND video! I HIGHLY recommend clients invest in her to capture such a special day, and I will be sending her information to my own wedding clients!”

Our perspective is unique… we were in your shoes, so we created a stress-free, full-service luxury experience for everyone.

“I cannot thank Kara and the BFF team enough for their help with my wedding day. I had two trials with another company that left me so worried about my day of look. Just three weeks before the wedding I decided I needed to go in a different direction. I called Kara up in a panic hoping she would be able to help with my short notice wedding on a holiday weekend. Kara was so communicative and helpful during this time. She listened closely to my previous experiences and my beauty vision. She reached out to her team and was able to find two amazing artists who would be available to help. They scheduled a trial for the next week and the trial was perfect! I was again so excited for my big day knowing I was in the right hands. Kris gave me amazing waves that lasted through the heat and humidity of the entire day and night. Priscilla gave me a soft makeup look with the most comfortable lashes I have ever worn. Together they created my dream glam and I could not be more grateful. If you are considering hiring the BFF team for your wedding you will not regret it. They are knowledgeable, communicative, and truly care about their clients. They will be able to give you your dream glam look too. Thank you Kara, Kris and Priscilla”

“We are so glad we chose Maurice (The Covenant Child DJ) for our wedding. Maurice responded very quickly to our initial inquiry on wedding wire and after our first call we knew it was a good fit. Maurice was very helpful in planning our music and the timing for our wedding. He sent us a link to an application that he uses (called Vibo) that allowed us to input our song choices for different parts of the wedding (processional, recessional, cocktail hour, first dance, dinner music, dance music, etc.). This was incredibly helpful because the app lets you search songs from Youtube, Spotify, and Apple Music and upload it there. We are a couple from mixed backgrounds so having this was super helpful to include music that both of our families could enjoy and have a solid set of songs. We chose about 30 songs and let Maurice fill in the rest, and he did an absolutely amazing job filling out the playlist and choosing songs that got the guests dancing. He even did some research on Malagasy songs and included them at different parts of the wedding. He even did a custom mix for us for our first dance! Maurice also helped out by suggesting timing for the different elements of the ceremony and reception. Maurice was very generous with his time during planning and really went above and beyond to help us plan the day. On wedding day, Maurice was great. He was an active, lively DJ and was very helpful with announcements, keeping us on schedule, and getting the guests involved in the wedding. He led us through some different games, and played a perfect set of music. Maurice did a great job reading the crowd and playing the hits that got different groups dancing. Toward the end of the night he played hit after hit and had us and our friends dancing... we didn't want to leave the dance floor!! Thank you so much Maurice for everything, you were a huge part of making our wedding special and we will forever appreciate it!”

I especially appreciated that she responded well when I asked for a small adjustment – she knew what I was asking for and was able to make me look and feel my best on my wedding day. Not to mention she made my fine, uncurlable hair look beautiful! Plus, my hair and makeup lasted through a whole night of dancing, kissing, and happy tears.

“I reached out to Aida because I had a photoshoot coming up and wanted my makeup done. She was able to accommodate the day and location. She was running a little late but made sure to communicate that with me and was able to get me done by the time I needed. I love the look! I told her I wanted more of a bold look and she did exactly that! Can't wait to book her again for future shoots!!!”

“Sharon captured our special day in Alexandria, VA and we are so thankful she did. Our photos were beautiful. She was so easy to work and communicate with. It made planning so easy with her. I planned my wedding during nursing school so it was extremely stressful and I am so glad Sharon was there to make this part of wedding planning stress free. She scouted the venues, perfect places to capture all of our special moments, and our photos were incredible. Highly recommend using Sharon for all of your photography needs :)”

Hey, I'm Chris! Dog-lover, latte-lover, gym-lover, and cookie-lover I justify the cookies by going to the gym. One of my life goals is to have enough dogs (dachshunds and corgis) to create a sled team. I will use this sled team to pull myself around while shooting your wedding. I’m joking, unless you really want me to, in which maybe WE should get married.

“My husband Will and I got married in October and we planned everything together. Hands down, the easiest and best decision we made (besides going through with the marriage ;-)) was picking Chris as our photographer. He was so easy to work with from the get go. We set up a brief meeting, shared our vision (we wanted a "photojournalist approach"), and mapped out a schedule of events. Anything that we did not think to ask, he made sure to bring up and help make our vision more complete. Chris was excellent at capturing all of the tiny moments of the night without being in anyone's way. The pictures that he captured were absolutely STUNNING--the perfect amount of sentimental moments captured in beautiful lighting and silly off the cuff moments that captured the essence of each and every guest. We would work again with Chris in a heartbeat and friends have already requested his contact information for their ceremony. As an added bonus, because we did not end up using Chris for all of the allotted time, he offered to do a separate photoshoot whenever we would like. It's those little attention to details and customer service which make Chris stand out from the rest. Overall, Chris was kind, professional, quick to edit and publish photos, and an amazing photographer. You would not do wrong by hiring him!”

I'm a 30-something born and bred NOVA gal that's probably a little too brazen to be in the wedding industry but nearly seven years later, I'm still in it to win it! I've coordinated over 280 weddings & managed even more for venues! So I've seen some $#!t and have learned all of the tricks of the trade. When I'm not being a boss bitch on wedding days, I love to thrift shop, go paddle boarding, watch true crime, get tattoos and travel.

“We hired Meghan Farrar as our day of coordinator for our April wedding at Rust Manor and would highly recommend couples hire her. From the very start, Meghan made us feel like we were her only clients. Her attention to detail was impeccable, and her organization skills were truly next level. Meghan was an organized, kind, reassuring voice for us while planning the wedding. She was also the only coordinator to let us know Virginia’s residency requirement regarding officiants. Meghan was super familiar with Rust Manor. In the countdown to our wedding, Meghan checked in to make sure things were going well, answer any questions we have, and organize us for the walkthrough. Though we hired Meghan primarily for the day of our wedding, she was available to us throughout the planning process. In the month run up to our wedding, Meghan greatly assisted us in organizing the little details of the day and coordinating with our vendors, many of whom had worked previously with her and were excited to work with her again. Prior to our wedding, Meghan coordinated with our various POCs for vendors and the venue, making sure they knew who to reach out to on the day of our wedding and the timing of the day. Additionally, Meghan helped us through some last minute changes due to unexpected events. She was incredibly accommodating and reassuring. On the day of our wedding, Meghan was everything we needed her to be and more. She managed to keep us on schedule, comfortable, and immensely helped our stress. Her kind words and warm personality shined throughout the day and made our wedding day all the more special. We would recommend Meghan for any future wedding. If you’re looking for someone who will not only meet but exceed your expectations, Meghan is your go-to.”

He was easy to book and work with to plan our song list and schedule. He brought all his own equipment and showed up right on time. He is a true authentic DJ mixing all the music … not like some DJs that just press enter and use Apple Music. He made it a really fun joyful celebration of music and dancing.

“We had an exceptional experience with Evermore Occasions for our wedding in August 2024, and I can’t recommend highly enough. Carmen’s expertise was evident from the beginning as they worked with us to expertly managed every detail. Through their AislePlanner app, we meticulously discussed and documented everything from inspiration photos and checklists to guest lists, seating charts, budgeting, and timelines. Carmen and her team were incredibly organized and kept us aligned with every decision. Their attention to detail was impeccable, covering everything from communicating with wedding VIPs to organizing the ceremony setup, reception seating, favors, place settings, and ensuring compliance with venue regulations. They even handled the napkin folds and breakdown with precision. On the wedding day, Carmen and her team guided us seamlessly through the timeline, which had the perfect amount of buffer to accommodate any unexpected changes. We were kept informed about any issues—like one guest feeling unwell—only as needed, allowing us to truly enjoy our day. The positive feedback from our guests about the event’s flawless orchestration was overwhelming. The day after the wedding, we were amazed to find that everything had been packed up and returned without any extra venue charges. This smooth transition is a testament to Carmen and her team's dedication and efficiency. Their patience and support throughout the planning process turned what could have been a stressful experience into a joy.

“I found Cloud & Rea here on Zola after initially deciding not to do professional hair and makeup and am so glad that I reached out to them. Claudia was very responsive throughout the process before the wedding and clearly communicated with me as far as pricing, scheduling, advice before the day of, and timelines for getting ready. I had a late morning wedding and needed to have services for 4 of us and she came through like a champ and was able to get us looking perfect for the rest of the day. 3 of us are in our 40’s and my stepmom is in her 60’s and Claudia was able to do 4 completely different looks on us, none of which looked caked on or heavy. I really appreciated that she was able to work with different skin types and facial features, making all of us feel beautiful. I did do two makeup trials due to being indecisive on what I wanted for my final look. I knew I didn’t want it too bridal with the focus on my eyes and by working through my vision with Claudia I ended up with an amazing final product the day of my wedding. The first trial also included a hair trial that I was happy with but due to a scheduling conflict we ended up having our hair done by Artistry by Kelsea.”
