Swept, LLC

  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 21
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Essex, MD

I have been in the beauty business for over 20 years. I worked at a salon for 15 years before I decided to branch out on my own. I love being a part of a Bride's wedding day and making her look and feel like a Queen! I also love managing my amazing team and teaching them things I have learned along the way. When I am not painting faces or managing my team, you can find me at home with my family or shopping at Home Goods with an iced coffee in my hand.

We hired Swept for our October 2022 wedding. They were very professional and made the process very easy to schedule their services. Jaime, the owner, was perfect to work with. I had 5 bridesmaids, and 3 parents/grandparents needed hair and makeup services. When one of our bridesmaids passed away, Jaime was perfect and patient with us for changing the amount of people needing services. Then closer to the wedding date, before final payment, I had some bridal party want to add services on, and some didn’t need services anymore. Jaime was so amazing and adapted our contract to any changes that needed to happen. She was such an angel in the stress of wedding planning. When we scheduled my trial, I still wasn’t 100% sure what my wedding look was going to be. Sarah did my makeup, and I told her I wanted a more natural look. She came up with the most perfect natural glam look that I loved! Ciarrah did my hair. I showed her multiple inspiration pictures that were similar hairstyles, and explained I honestly wasn’t sure which one I should do for my fine hair type. She was so kind, and willing to try different options to find the perfect one. Her first hairstyle pic was the winner but it still didn’t feel perfect. She suggested letting some hair hang out of the bun, and it was so beautiful! Wedding day, we had all the bridesmaids stay the night in an air bnb to make everything easier in the morning. Sarah and Ciarrah were so efficient and had everybody done before the latest time they could be done. Everyone looked gorgeous! We had music playing that made it such a fun atmosphere on my wedding day! I felt like a princess! They both made me look and feel so beautiful on my wedding day! Perfect company to hire! Jaime is also able to switch hair stylists or makeup artists if it’s not a match at your trial. You also can request specific artists if you like their specific work on Swept’s website or Instagram.

Matt, our DJ, was great to work with from start to finish. He took time to get to know us and the vibe we wanted for our ceremony and reception, had playlists to offer as starting points, and collaborated closely with us to make sure our favorite songs made it into the night. He was upbeat and responsive throughout the planning process (loved the group chat), and day of, he was both flexible and direct, which made coordinating things like special dances a breeze. Matt’s grounded, supportive, and keep-the-party-going energy is exactly what you’ll want from your wedding DJ. We were really happy with our photo booth setup as well.

Hey friends! My name is Mandi and I'm a Baltimore-born lover of traveling, kitty cats, and ice cream! I am the happiest girl in the world when I am by the water. Being outside enjoying the warm sun, feeling a cool breeze, and laughing with friends and family by the Chesapeake just make my heart sing! When I’m not busy working on beautiful weddings, I’m trying to motivate myself to go for a run or I’m curled up on the couch with my husband, my 3 cats & a true crime doc. You'll always find me decked out in bright colors, no matter what time of year! As a native Marylander, I love getting out and exploring more of my home state - and beyond!

I could not recommend Mandi from Chesapeake Charm enough!! She was the photographer for our wedding in 2021 at Rosewood Farms in Elkton, MD. As soon as I saw Mandi’s photography when we were wedding planning, I knew that we needed her for our wedding - she was one of the first vendors that we booked! I fell in love with the bright & airy style of her photos. I absolutely loved working with her, from our initial consultation meeting to our wedding day. We even had her do our family photos with our baby for Christmas in 2023! You will absolutely not regret hiring Mandi as your photographer!

PLEASE INQUIRE ON MY WEBSITE AS I CAN NOT RESPOND ON THIS SITE - From the time I could remember I was obsessed with pictures and video. I would always ask family members if they had home videos we could watch...the majority of the time the answer was no... or yes but they are on VHS. Video is a complete separate dimension that captures the real raw emotions of a special day. it is is the one thing that you will be able to look back on and feel that raw emotion captured. Being able to capture something that someone can cherish for quite literally their lifetime, is something that I hold close.

Krista is THE BEST! I can’t count how many times we’ve watched our wedding video and still cry every single time. She captured such special moments and put them together perfectly. From the drone footage to capturing my husbands reaction when we saw eachother, ugh it’s an incredible video. I am also a wedding florist and from a fellow vendor standpoint, she is amazing to work with. You will not regret booking with Kay B Films!

Highly recommend Reckord Road Entertainment! Erick and Isabelle were wonderful to work with from our initial conversation, all the way through to our wedding day. Not only did they communicate well, but they provided thoughts and advice for details we would have never even thought of to make our day go even smoother. We appreciate the time they took to speak with us the week of our wedding when rain in the forecast caused us to change ceremony locations last minute. They made that change seamless on their end. Erick made sure names of those being announced throughout the day the were pronounced correctly and helped us organize a smooth transition from our cocktail hour into the reception. They kept the party going throughout the night and made our wedding the fun yet laid back atmosphere we were striving for. We really cannot thank them enough for doing so much for our wedding day!

As a 14-year veteran of the wedding and event industry, I've had the privilege of working with some of the best photographers in the area. Brea is THE best! The entire experience, from start to finish, is always enjoyable for me as a collaborating vendor, and for my clients. She juggles all her responsibilities as a business owner, and everything runs like a well-oiled machine. Her demeanor on the job is friendly, professional, and endearing. And, most importantly, her body of work is out of this world. I think that goes without saying, because her portfolio speaks for itself. But I have to say it anyway because it's beyond impressive. Her work has been recognized in international publications as some of the best in the world, and when you see how evocative her images are, it's easy to see how she earned her accolades.

I'm Sarandon (pronounced SU-RAN-DIN). I'm an artist and photographer in Baltimore, Maryland where I live with my husband, our daughter, and our Australian Shepherd pup.

On days off I like hunting for my next favorite bakery, perusing a museum, or gathering friends for dinner and cocktails.

We were immediately drawn to Rachel Stenger's photography style and tone. We loved her slightly moody yet crisp vibe. It was evident that she was able to capture the true energy of the people she photographed and that's a special skill. We immediately contacted her to capture our wedding that was scheduled for June 2020. As we got closer to the date and the likelihood of the wedding needing to evolve was growing, Rachel was accessible, supportive, and understanding. She was able to capture our small intimate ceremony on our original date and it was beautiful. We were so happy with her work and her personable energy that we asked her to capture our wedding celebration that happened a year later. Rachel and Zeb, another photographer that she works with, were such a delight while they captured our June 2021 wedding. It was effortless, it felt like they were our friends attending the wedding who happened to be taking photos. They captured all the lovely candid and quirky moments while also capturing the magical staged shots. We highly recommend working with Rachel Stenger, her work is a perfect blend of artistic and realistic. Rachel and Zeb captured moments that will continue to bring a smile to our faces as the years go by. Thank you!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I'm glad you're here. ​ I married my best friend and I am a girl mom to the two most inspirational girls in the world. Coffee is my fuel and when I’m not taking pictures, you can find me in my garden. Photography is my passion and art is my refuge - the combination of the two is where I find myself most at peace. I am a wedding and portrait photographer based in Havre de Grace, Maryland. I'm grateful that capturing beautiful and once-in-a-lifetime memories is how I get to spend many of my days.

We had a wonderful experience working with Gabbi's Galleria for our wedding photography. Gabbi was extremely communicative, helpful, and attentive throughout the planning process. She was always available to hop on a call to discuss timelines, shot lists, and venue details. On the day-of, Gabbi brought an amazing energy and made everyone feel at ease in front of the camera. The photos turned out beautifully - her artistic eye and talent for capturing candid moments resulted in dreamy, romantic images that we will treasure. We'd highly recommend Gabbi for any couple looking for a photographer who delivers gorgeous work, makes the process fun, and is dedicated to understanding your vision.

I have always enjoyed being creative in all areas of my life. One of my favorite memories is when my uncle and I spent time building bookshelves, benches and other home decor pieces.

Today, Diasha Williams Events and Designs is a full-service wedding and events planning company based in Maryland. We plan weddings and special events in Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia, as well as Georgia and Florida. Our passion for designing events has led us to specialize in weddings, but we also create family and corporate events.

I shared my idea for my daughter's graduation party with Ms. Williams. She not only executed it flawlessly but also exceeded my expectations. Throughout the planning process, she kept me well-informed, provided multiple design options, and, most importantly, adhered to my budget. She is, without a doubt, the best event planner I have ever had the pleasure of working with.

Hey! My name is Andrea and I am the youngest of 4 helping run Sweet Edible Print. This is full hands in family business for the past 5 years!

I ordered wedding favors from sweet edible print and I was blown away! They were able to match my wedding colors and allowed me to choose a beautiful font with our names and wedding date! The packaging was regal and the service was even better. Communication was easy and I was relieved the favors were something I didn’t even have to think about. They were professional and very kind. (I was a smidge stressed being a covid bride) I can’t wait to use them for future events, I highly recommend them.

Greetings and salutaion! I am a blue haired, tattooed geek girl wedding planner with a love of dragonflies & offbeat events! I have also been wedding planning since 2004. I haven't met a DIY project I can't wait to try, a scrapbook page I didn't want to make, or a cosplay idea I didn't want to put together. Watching all the different elements come together to make something come alive is fantastic. I approach all my events the same way. Helping a client pull together all of their puzzle pieces to make an event that is uniquely theirs is the best feeling!

Our wedding was going to be so simple, if you ask my husband. Tee-shirts. Taco truck. American Legion. Guests. Done. Even he had to thank Fran profusely for all of her foresight, thoughtful touches, and management skills. This was a second wedding for both with kids and exes on both sides. It went off flawlessly, thanks to Fran. Our wedding ceremony and reception were on consecutive days. She printed and framed ceremony pics to display at the reception. She kept an eye on tipsy guests and let us know about potential issues. She found seats for the guests who I had carelessly left off the seating chart. She picked up, deployed, and returned the table cloths and had special little decorations for our table. I couldn't possibly list all the things she did to make the day run smoothly and to make us feel cared for and loved. Thank you Fran. You almost make me want to do it all over again.

Party Girl Entertainment

Party Girl Entertainment is run and operated by Amy Reid; an active Baltimore DJ, musician and events curator performing since 2010. Driven by music, a sincere joy of the dance floor and the power it has to bring people together, she formed PGE in 2019 with this goal in mind. She is accommodating and welcomes venues both intimate and expansive. In 2017, The Baltimore Sun deemed Reid as one of “10 Baltimore Musicians on the Rise.” She has also been featured in Baltimore Magazine’s “Faces of Pride” issue in 2019. Her favorite party starters are Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” and David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance.”

Amy was one of the first vendors I booked for my wedding and I’m so glad I did!! She has such a relaxing, calm demeanor that was so welcomed in the chaotic stress of wedding planning. Planning with her was a breeze- completely understanding of timelines, etc. She showed up ahead of time, was always responsive, and put me at ease immediately when I had question. Plus everything from the speeches to the ceremony to the packed dance floor ran SO SMOOTHLY! She took our preferred songs and ran with it and literally everyone had an amazing time. For a bride who loves to dance, she made the party happen!!

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

My husband and I loved working with Shutter and Sound for our wedding!! They went above and beyond when capturing our venue and all the special moments throughout our wedding day. The videographers were very personable and easy to work with, and were confident in their vision. All of the deliverables came even sooner than we were expecting which was a nice surprise, and I've watched our videos sooo many times since we got them back. Truly a great experience! I'd recommend Shutter and Sound to anyone looking for quality footage that really tells a story. :)

I’ve been running Ridiculous Entertainment as my main business for 14 years. I picked up DJing as a hobby when I was in high school, falling in love with hip-hop and learning to scratch records. Throughout my college years, I DJed tons of parties. I now also work in live audio engineering, record albums in my home studio, play in bands, and produce stage shows with the Baltimore Rock Opera Society (BROS). DJing weddings and private parties has been my main career path for a long time now and I still really enjoy it! Your wedding day should be a fusion of the best things in you and your partner's life together.

Our wedding was a couple months ago and it was fantastic, I’m just now coming down off the high. I give Aran a lot (like all) of the credit for our wedding day being perfect, he 100% kept the day flowing seamlessly as it should - which I can promise, I had absolutely nothing to do with. Both my husband and I are huge music lovers with tastes that are all over the place and a large number of our guests were older family members. I know that we couldn’t be an easy crowd to please, but he did, everyone had a great time and I will always be grateful for that. Aside from being a fantastic DJ, he was a great person to have at our wedding. I would 100000% recommend him.
