Bellwether Events 

5.0

  • Planner
  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Germantown, MD

As owner and lead wedding planner, Janice has her hands on every Bellwether wedding. She’s a logistical virtuoso with crazy-high standards. She’s never met a detail she couldn’t wrangle or a problem she couldn’t solve. You can always expect Janice to keep it real — a communication style you’ll be thankful for when dealing with budgets, wedding day mania, and drunk Uncle Ted.

I have had the pleasure of working with Bellwether Events many times. From my 10 years experience of working in the wedding industry, I found that some planners are only good at logistics (timeline, having things in order, managing vendors, etc.), some planners are only good at design and creativity, some are only good at client relations and relationships with the family. Bellweather is excellent at all of these things and I see how she consistently nails every category at every single wedding I have worked with her. If you want your event to shine and to have the absolute best experience from the beginning to end, Bellweather is who you need.

Divine Event Design LLC

  • Planner
  • Offers 7 services
  • Starts at $75
  • Serves Germantown, MD

I have been planning weddings and events for 15 years. After college, I worked as a meeting planner for several years, while also earning my International Wedding Planning Professional certification (IWPP). My love of special events is what convinced me to start my own business. I love working with clients to create their perfect vision. My goal is to take away the stress of the day so that my clients are able to enjoy themselves. I am able to help by suggesting venues and vendors, site visits and contracting, communicating and working with vendors, on-site coordination, setup, and post-event cleanup and follow-up.

When somebody understands your vision and makes it better, you’ve found a real treasure. My dear Dianne: what and how should I thank you? This dream came to reality because of you: your work ethic, your attitude, your vibe and abilities but, especially, your passion are INCREDIBLE. You read our thoughts and helped us on a journey to make a dream happen: from the smallest detail to the biggest decision, and even when we almost collapsed with your “minute by minute” We could not be more grateful. The love for all you do is what makes you a real deal. You are NOT A PLANNER, you are an absolute DIRECTOR. You listen, you take action, you make the groom and the bride feel they are really taken care of and… you also know how and when to make us cry, leaving the decision to us but always sharing a humble opinion. Thank you THANK YOU for your hard work, thank you for being the real deal, and a wonderful finding. I know who sent you. For everyone, please don’t hire her instantly; just listen to her for 2 minutes and then you will understand why she is your one and best option. We love you!! Art and Clau

We used Mahani Events for our wedding vow renewal and reception and have nothing but positive things to say about our experience. Priyanna and her team were so wonderful throughout our whole journey. My husband and I decided to go with her partial planning package, as we had already started hiring most of our vendors and were becoming overwhelmed by the amount of communication we were receiving all the time. As soon as we finished hiring everyone, Priyanna took over all communications with them and kept out mind at ease. Priyanna is an amazing human to work with. She is detail orientated, creative, kind, and extremely personable. She made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Our special day would not have been complete without Priyanna and her team. Thank you Mahani Events for making our dreams come true. We hope to work with you all again for future events and will definitely be recommending you to all of our friends.

Kentlands Mansion

Gaithersburg, MD
  • Venue
  • Up to 110 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $1,815

This Georgian styled house boasts flexible banquet space including four gathering rooms, bridal suites and intimate garden and lawn for outdoor events. Kentlands Mansion is conveniently located in Gaithersburg, Maryland with easy access to I-270, nearby hotels, dining and shopping. The Tschiffely-Kent property has been a landmark along Darnestown Road since 1900. The stately mansion was built by Frederick Tschiffely, and later sold to Otis Beall Kent in 1942. The elegant property now belongs to the City of Gaithersburg, and is an ideal venue for weddings, receptions, social functions and business meetings.

I recommend the Kentlands Mansion not only because of its charm but for the easiness it was to work with the staff. This was our first annual Christmas Party and we did not need to bring any additional decorations because the Mansion was beautifully decorated and created a warm holiday feeling for us and our guests. There was plenty of parking which is normally a concern with events but not here. I also liked that when it got a little warm because of dancing that we were able to step out on the canopied porch for some fresh air but was still able to hear the music. Looking forward to another event at the Mansion!

There's a feeling you get when someone you love smiles, when they laugh, when they take your hand in theirs. Those feelings are what I seek to capture. I combine the physical beauty of a moment with candid emotions to create heart-warming images that bring you back into the moment all over again.

She does an excellent job capturing people truly being themselves, and I'm so grateful to have photos of my husband and I, and our loved ones captured in our most authentic form.

Chaya came as a backup to my wedding after my photographer had an emergency of her own. She walking with pure confidence and a smile that lit up the room. She fit in so well and knew how to handle the crowd. She worked well with the kids, made sure to get plenty of photos, and even caught some I didn't know she did. It was a great surprise to see when opening the album. She was so calm the whole time, even in the chaos.

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Germantown, MD

My passion for floral design began over twenty years ago in a greenhouse in a small Michigan town, traveled through the mountains of Colorado and Arizona, to the beaches of Southern California, settling in Washington, DC. Education in graphic design has helped to sharpen my attention to detail and given me an eye for color and composition.

Jolie and her team were absolutely fabulous! Jolie was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She absolutely understood the particular vision we had in a way no other florist we talked to did, and she responded with unique creative ideas, with multiple options at different price points for every element for us to select from. We also really appreciated her use of seasonal, regionally sourced flowers and sustainable handling of waste. Jolie and her team truly went above and beyond to deliver the most beautiful, colorful, and unique florals we have ever seen at a wedding—and many of our guests agreed! If you want stunning, classy wedding florals and decorations that reflect the vision and style you have in mind for your wedding day, look no further.

If I had to describe myself in five words it would be: food, exercise, animals, travel, and art (not in any specific order). You know you have found the right career when you can honestly say you do it for the passion, for the excitement, and for the love of documenting someone’s precious memories. Photography has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I have been photographing weddings in the DMV for the past eleven years.

Awarded Best of Zola
I can't recommend Cicely and Jason enough. They were communicative, collaborative, and just genuinely great people. They were really open to trying out anything that we really wanted to do and brought plenty of experience and helpful ideas to the table from the start. Their ability to capture the tiny details and a much broader sweeping view of our day really was the sell for us. And they weren't afraid to really get into the middle of a rager and capture moments you'd have never known about otherwise. Photography is so embedded in capturing your day that having creative people you really enjoy working with is critical. Years later, Cicely and I still message each other to check in. I genuinely can't express how great getting to know and work with them was for us. Cheers.

Carla Pressley - Hair Stylist & Makeup Artist 

3.0

  • Beauty professional
  • Serves Germantown, MD

I’m Carla Pressley and I do hair and makeup! I’m a mixed African American/Korean chick born the year of the DOG in July which makes me a fiercely loyal sentimental Cancer. I also talk to most dogs and have been the proud mother to two Jindo dogs. I laugh EXACTLY like my two brothers, TRY eating vegan most of the time, LOVE yoga, and tear up EVERY time dads see’s the bride for the first time.

When I was looking for a hair and makeup artist, I wanted someone who I felt confident could help me decide the look for my wedding and come up with options for my naturally curly hair. However, I knew the deciding factor would be whether I felt confident that the artist could make every member of my bridal party that was diverse (in terms of race, disability, and LGBTQ) bridal party look and feel beautiful. Carla's portfolio showed me that she really lives her values of inclusion and I booked her with full confidence after our phone consultation the day after my inquiry. She gave me different options for the schedule for either just her or her and a team. I ended up going with the option of her and her team to not start so early and have a more efficient schedule. I was right to place my trust in her and the team she works with! I did a trial a couple weeks before my wedding, which I cannot recommend highly enough. It was definitely one of the most fun experiences of the entire wedding planning process! Carla spent a few hours with me trying different looks based on my inspiration photos and the vibe of my dress. I left so excited and knowing I had options I liked based on how I was feeling and the weather. On my wedding day she and her team were fantastic and executed flawlessly and made everyone comfortable on what was a hectic morning. My mother hadn't worn makeup since her wedding almost 40 years ago. My sister and maid of honor is also autistic with intellectual disabilities and had never worn makeup but wanted to be included (and look like a princess!) Carla and her team (special shoutout to makeup artist Mong!) were so patient and understanding and put them both at ease, which I appreciated so much. My other bridesmaids had a wonderful experience with makeup artist Nas as well. In terms of myself, I can say without question I've never felt more beautiful and glamorous but still myself than I did on my wedding day. Carla came with us to the church and fixed my veil that blew off during my first look and touched up everyone before we walked down the aisle. The look stayed the whole day and my hair held through the dip in our first dance into the after party. Going with Carla for hair and makeup was easily one of the best decisions I made in wedding planning and I cannot recommend her highly enough!

I’m Vanessa, a Gaithersburg, MD-based couple + wedding photographer for the wildly in-love. My life was changed by love. Seriously, rocked, rumbled, wrecked, repeat. Okay, it might sound dramatic, but my relationship with my now-husband has truly changed my world and soul for the better. We were lil baby high school sweethearts turned long distance when my husband joined the Marine Corps, and our journey together means absolutely everything to me. I know yours does too, and getting to capture it is the hugest joy and honor.

Vanessa was fantastic! Start to finish, she was so committed to making sure she captured our wedding how we wanted. She is fun and easygoing, which made working with her a breeze. Amongst the chaos of a wedding day, it’s so important to have a photographer who is cool, calm, and collected. Vanessa and Patrick were both dedicated to capturing the planned photos (diligently checking off each photo in a shot list) and unplanned candids throughout the night. Thank you Vanessa! Highly highly recommend!!

  • Planner
  • Offers 4 services

  • Serves Germantown, MD

Events by Tyra is a black-owned, woman-owned wedding and event planning service provider based in Maryland. All are welcome! We offer full service planning for the couple that wants to make decisions, but doesn't want to be bogged down with all the details. Partial planning is available to couples that want to be more hands-on with hiring vendors and handling details, but might need just a bit of help when it comes to design and vendor management. Wedding management is perfect for couples that have already selected their vendors, planning their wedding, and are looking for help for the last couple months leading up to the wedding.

I rarely meet anyone in life that is as Type A and detail-oriented as I am, but Tyra was my match. I've done a lot of event planning in my own career, but you really can't be your own planner especially in the weeks leading up to the wedding on the day itself. Tyra thought of absolutely everything I needed her to think of and more! And no matter how well a wedding is planned, there are always weird things that pop up as you get to the finish line and during the wedding itself--Tyra handled all of those so my hubby and I could enjoy the day. She had absolutely everything covered to the point that I actually felt a bit guilty about how little I did because, hello, that's my personality. As for Tyra's personality--well, she's the best. Super duper friendly, professional and like a good BFF, not afraid to give it to you straight. Highly, highly recommend. P.S.--This was a second wedding for my hubby and I, and it was a very small group. If you figure you don't need a planner because your wedding is going to be intimate, you're wrong. Trust me when I tell you that you still need someone to coordinate with the vendors, make sure the ceremony musicians aren't dead, talk you through a tuxedo crisis, and literally sprint to jump into your officiant's car, who is lost and driving around the mall looking for the venue. ;)

Hi - I'm Danielle. A wife. A mom to three wonderful children. A wedding photographer. I've been shooting weddings since 2010. 300++ weddings and counting. I love working with natural light, real moments, and images with energy and emotion. I would love the privilege of hearing your love story. If you'd like to inquire, please email or call to set up an interview.!

We booked Danielle for our engagement session and April 2024 wedding. Me and my husband aren't confident in front of the camera and at our engagement session, Danielle made us feel so comfortable. At that moment, we knew we made the right choice for our wedding day! Danielle was an integral part of our planning process - happily scheduling calls as needed to help us develop our timeline, narrow down locations for photos, and even providing us with a detailed timeline and checklists of things to bring for photos. On our wedding day, Danielle ensured that we remained on schedule with our timeline, capturing all the photos that we wanted and needed in a short timeframe. She made an effort to learn the names of our wedding party and family and provided everyone with guidance and feedback in a fun and engaging manner to make sure every photo turned out great! We recently got our sneak peeks back and were so thrilled with how they turned out. We're looking forward to seeing our full gallery soon! Danielle also provided a second shooter at no additional cost to us and he was absolutely fantastic as well! Chris handled getting ready photos of my husband and his groomsmen, making sure they stuck to the timeline, and getting them to where they needed to be - the hardest job of all. He was great to work with and captured beautiful images from different perspectives and angles that we wouldn't have gotten with just one photographer.

Big smiles, infectious laughter, colorful flowers and the clinking of champagne glasses are just a few of my favorite things.

Erin was a rockstar for both our DC micro-wedding and engagement shoot! From the very beginning, Erin was an exceptional communicator. She was flexible in scheduling, very responsive, and meticulously documented every detail to ensure nothing was overlooked. Her guidance was invaluable, from helping us choose the perfect location for the engagement shoot, to assisting in creating a seamless timeline for the wedding day. The photos themselves were absolutely stunning. Erin provided a great variety, including film and black & white shots, capturing the essence of our special moments beautifully. The delivery of the photos was impressively fast, with sneak peeks available within 24 hours! Erin helped us pose naturally and found the best backgrounds at our venues. Her creativity and eye for detail made every shot look incredible. She even stepped in to help with a wardrobe malfunction with my dress, ensuring everything went smoothly.

It's hard to do anything but rave aboutUche and her team - Uche is incredibly creative, a consumate professional, and moreover just an all around awesome human being to work with. From the beginning, she was super responsive and took the time to help me figure out the look for my wedding (I wasn't starting from much - just knew I wanted a "secret garden" type feel). In our first conversation alone I knew she had a vision, and told her to go with it. The execution was so far above and beyond our expectations that words can't describe it. I loved and really appreciated the thoughtful proposal Uche put together (and changed several times at my annoying requests), but I really couldn't have imagined how beautiful everything would be the day of. We got married at District Winery, and Uche and her team took FULL advantage of the blank canvas-esque space, complete with hanging greenery installations and the most beautiful altar piece I've ever seen. My bouquet was also gorgeous - as were my bridesmaids', and the boutonnieres were amazing. I honestly had friends coming up to me telling me they loved the florals even more than what they had at their own weddings! Not only was the end result day-of perfect, but I know that Uche and her team worked tirelessly to get it done. When we had our rehearsal at the venue the afternoon before, they were there getting a head start (what other wedding vendor would do that!?) I could go on forever about how incredible Uche is (like the fact that she hosted my mom and I at her studio for over an hour to patiently talk through details, even as she was prepping for a big wedding the next day), but the bottom line is that if you want top notch creativity and professionalism all in one, you can't go wrong with Designs by Oochay. One final thing - a friend/guest of ours happened to be a former client of Uche's, and Uche made a specific point to find her at the end of the evening to say hello and give her a hug (which my friend was super excited about), even though it was after midnight and she was trying to disassemble everything - which I thought truly showed how warm and gracious she is, as well as how much her former clients love her!

We don't typically write reviews, but we want to share how invaluable Imagine It! was in planning our wedding--from helping us develop the vision to the day of execution. Dariya and Andrea were extremely, thoughtful and detailed to approaching our wedding and reception planning. They ensured the day illustrated our vision but still provided insight and guidance that helped to bring everything together. Due to weather, we had to make some pretty significant changes. The Imagine It! team walked us through a very detailed Plan B that we ended up leveraging. Thank God we listened! It's been over 5 years, and our friends and family still talk about how beautiful and fun our wedding events were. We are grateful for Dairya and Andrea's patience and expertise.

We worked with Ten Twenty Seven Films to create our branding video and on a styled shoot. HIGHLY recommend! So professional, easy to work with and make you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera (for our interview-style branding video). During the styled shoot, we barely knew they were there. They capture shots in a way that's discrete, which is definitely what you want on your wedding day so your guests don't get distracted from watching you during the ceremony! The final product for both of our projects together was amazing. A talented team that anyone would be lucky to work with.

HEY THERE! MY NAME IS KLAIRE, AND I'M A FINE ART WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER BASED RIGHT OUTSIDE OF WASHINGTON, D.C. Elegantly refined details and family heirlooms make my heart pitter patter on a wedding day. I take on a select number of weddings every year to treat every couple with the utmost care as if they're old friends - I always cry happy tears on wedding days! I am eternally grateful to work with couples and capture beautiful images on their wedding day. My highest priority is to strengthen marriages with imagery that will remind them of how their unique story began.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so grateful we had Klaire shoot our wedding! She was everything we wanted in a wedding photographer and more: professional, talented, very organized, experienced, and CALM. Her presence on our wedding day was one of joy and calm, which helped us relax and enjoy the day even more. When something would throw the schedule off, Klaire was able to adapt quickly and make it all work out without any stress, which was truly a gift. She captured more beautiful shots than we could’ve asked for and shared so much valuable advice from her experience with weddings throughout our planning and the day of the wedding. We 100% recommend Klaire!

I cannot even express how happy we are to have booked Harrison Films for our wedding!! Before finding them, I was really hesitant about getting a videographer and debated if it was worth the money, but eventually decided we wanted a video to remember the day. After looking at a bunch of their example videos of other weddings on their website, I had a FaceTime call with Deanna and instantly knew I wanted to hire them. From the start Deanna and Grant were incredibly nice, easy to work with, and helpful. Before the wedding day, we went over the schedule and Deanna even created a google doc of the timeline for the entire day that I ended up using to share with all my vendors (photographer, band, etc). On the wedding day, they did an amazing job taking care of everything. They arrived early, helped keep us on schedule so that I never had to worry about the time, and ensured it was an easy, non-stressful day! We wanted to do our first look at the Jefferson memorial because that’s where we got engaged. Little did we know, it was under an insane amount of construction. Somehow, Grant and Deanna found the perfect spots for us to still have our first look and other pictures at the memorial while avoiding all the construction. They stayed the entire night and captured everything and we never had to worry about our time running out with them. Our wedding was Saturday night and by Monday morning they had already sent us a one minute preview video and it is beyond anything I imagined. The full edit was sent a couple months later and it is the most perfect, incredible video I have ever seen. Our wedding was 10 months ago and I watch the wedding video at least once a month. Hiring them was the best wedding decision I made and they are worth every single penny. Even before seeing the preview, on the day of my wedding I was so grateful to have them there and said multiple times to my husband how happy I was to have hired them because they made the day so much easier. If you are going to have a videographer (and trust me, you should) hire Harrison Films!!
