I had the pleasure of working with Imagine It to plan a wedding at the W Hotel in Washington, DC, under the direction of Andrea Taylor. To say the least, they completely exceeded my expectations! From the moment we met, I knew that I was in good hands. Imagine It was incredibly well-organized, detail-oriented, and proactive in making sure that every aspect of our wedding was perfect. Throughout the planning process, Andrea was always available to answer any questions or concerns that I had. She provided me with regular updates and suggestions, and was always willing to go above and beyond to make sure that our vision for the wedding was executed. Her communication skills were exceptional, and she was able to keep me calm and stress-free throughout the entire process. On the day of the wedding, Andrea was an absolute lifesaver. She was on top of everything, from coordinating with vendors to making sure that the wedding party was where they needed to be at all times. Her attention to detail was impeccable, and she made sure that everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Overall, I cannot recommend Imagine It enough.

Wow, I don’t have enough good words to express how amazing Rusty Barrel was to work with!! At the last minute, we learned from our venue that we would need to make some changes to how we were providing drinks for our wedding guests, so we had to scramble to figure it all out. Luckily I came across Rusty Barrel and they happened to be free the weekend we needed them. They provided us calm assurance that they would be able to handle things for us and made the night such an amazing memory! They were professional, prompt and super responsive. They walked us through everything we would need and what they would provide and answered any questions we had. And then there is the bar itself! Wow, the bar wagon was one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. It truly creates an entire vibe. They provided decor that matched our aesthetic perfectly. Guests have been talking about the bar in the months since and have gone on about how incredible the bar tenders themselves were. My mom still mentions how sweet they were! :) I cannot recommend these folks enough!

I entered the Event planning market seven years ago through catering and setting up for events. I quickly learned that I loved being by the bride and groom throughout the entire event and watching their special day come to life. Getting to know the couple through the entire process and watching their dreams evolve into the wedding of their dreams stole my heart. It’s my pursuit to take all the stress off your plate and help you build the event of a lifetime. I truly want to become your best friend, go to person, planner, and even a punching bag when things just might not be going well that day, throughout the entire process

I want to give a HUGE shoutout to my wedding coordinator Chloe! She made everything so easy for me, stress free, and created the day of my dreams. From bringing me & my bridal party drinks during photos, to setting up ALL of my decor, bringing my purse (and a groomsmen she found asleep at the venue) to the hotel & she even cleaned the ENTIRE venue for me so my hungover Sunday self didn’t have to.If youre getting married soon I 1000% recommend reaching out to her. One of the sweetest, most genuine, hard working people I have ever met.

Frederick DJs 

4.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,850
  • Serves McLean, VA

My team of DJs and I truly appreciate it. A little background on who I am and what sets Frederick DJs apart from the rest. Starting as a DJ as a kid, yes, a kid of only 14! I took a huge interest in the entertainment industry. It started a little before then, but that’s when I got into DJing. I fell in love with playing music for others while working at a roller-skating rink. (Wisconsin Sk8 University) I later moved on from the roller rink where I became a DJ assistant for a solo DJ who specialized in weddings. Let’s just day that gave me a whole new love for the job.

We recently had Robert DJ our June wedding. Pros were that he was on time and friendly. He handled little hiccups smoothly and w/o complaint. Prices are reasonable and he offers a lot of services, like ceremony recordings and fun add-ons. He really can be a one-stop shop for a lot of wedding entertainment. While I think he is a good all-purpose DJ, I'm not sure that he was the right fit for us in the end. Specifically our two biggest concerns were that 1) he didn't consistently use the language we had asked him to use to address guests and 2) communication leading up to the wedding was less organized than I would have preferred. In our case, we really prioritized communicating with vendors about our desire for an affirming, somewhat non-traditional wedding. From the onset when we hired vendors, we asked about comfort and experience working with a diverse range of guests and requested that vendors be attentive to using inclusive language, especially as it relates to including LGBTQ folks. In the case of DJ services, we requested he not use gendered language like "ladies and gentlemen" due to the gender diversity of our guests. We also had an integrated wedding party so we weren't using some of the traditional wedding party language. I get that this is a specific and maybe unusual request, so we wanted to be really sure our vendors were okay with it, and Robert was super friendly and agreeable when we talked about it. I think Robert's intentions were really good here -- he expressed a lot of desire to make sure he got this right and willingness to be careful. Maybe those requests were made too long ago though, because when we got to the day of, we had a lot of issues here. Our coordinator had to talk to him about using less gendered language, which did not seem to result in much improvement (there was definitely effort...at one point he said "ladies and....guests....esteemed guests" but then he went right back to "ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls"), and it was really frustrating for both us and her. He also told us we'd have a ceremony recording the day after. There was really no rush, but that was what he told us would happen. Instead, we got the recording a week later than he had originally stated, and we were not told it would be delayed until I asked twice. I think it's also worth noting that the ceremony recording did not include the music for procession and recession. (This is on us, we should have confirmed that would be included, but it was disappointing) Communication tended to be a little last-minute and unscheduled -- e.g., spontaneous phone calls rather than putting something on the calendar. Followups were sometimes required. He also texted me (bride) the morning of asking if he could bring an assistant and requesting we add a meal for that additional person. Not a big deal, but I do wish he would have communicated in advance/not while we were all trying to get ready. Otherwise, I thought/heard feedback that some of the music transitions were a bit awkward, but not to an extent that was too disruptive. None of these are big issues, but the multitude of small communication inconveniences and frustrations did add up to where I would not feel comfortable recommending Frederick DJs to a friend. Robert is nice, but I'm not sure he was the right call for our needs. He might be a better fit for someone else, particularly if you are looking to include a number of add-ons and want to use one, reasonably-priced company

Hi. I'm Teresa. While photography is a part-time job for me, documenting your stories doesn't ever get treated like it's not important. My full-time gig is teaching high school English and journalism at an all-boys school in Washington, DC. Journalism is my favorite subject to teach because it is as much about writing as it is about the art of observing the world, and I became a photographer because of my experiences in photojournalism.

From the moment we booked TCJ Design for our wedding photography, we knew we were in excellent hands. Teresa demonstrated clear, frequent communication and was a great listener throughout the entire process. Their work is simply beautiful, timeless, and captivating. For our engagement session, Teresa really delivered on our by the water/Maryland theme, capturing stunning shots that felt so true to us as a couple. On our wedding day, the TCJ Design team seamlessly documented every meaningful detail, delivering photos that are more beautiful than we could have imagined. We are so grateful to have these cherished memories to look back on for years to come.

I've been shooting unique, non-traditional, very-traditional, queer, straight, weird, normal, sexy, just-plain-fun weddings for over a decade now. Don't think your wedding falls into that category? Don't be so sure. Your unique love deserves to be documented whoever that may look. If you want bad-ass photography that stands out, all while having fun doing it, we're what you've been looking for. Let's connect. We'd love to hear your love story.

I haaaate having my photo taken. I was super anxious about the whole process going into it. It takes a certain amount of trust to let someone photograph you... Jay and his Bellocq team were A from start to finish. We were blown away by A) the sheer amount of photos given back (they don't cap their packages at certain photo counts) and B) how seamlessly the entire collection flowed together from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely be re-booking them for our family photos (first baby on the way!!!) in the future. Jay is incredibly kind and fun to be around, and just puts you at ease. That is the first thing you'll notice when you meet. Can't recommend Bellocq enough!!!

Maggie and Betty are known for their timeless & honest images, attention to detail, and personalized approach to each and every wedding they photograph.

Maggie, Betty, and their team are the most talented photographers. They are kind, sweet, funny, and talented. They came into our suite and got all the things rolling- moving furniture etc. We all went around the national mall for photos- they were up for anything.

As a wedding photographer, I focus on capturing the fun and genuine emotions that unfold throughout your special day. While striving to create stunning images that tell a story of the love felt by the couple and their loved ones on the wedding day. My goal is to not only provide beautiful photographs, but also to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all, allowing my couples to be themselves while I capture those candid moments that truly reflect the authenticity of the occasion.

Francesca is wonderful to work with. She is creative, artistic, professional and extremely sweet. She makes people feel at ease with the photoshoots. I have worked with her a few times and I highly recommend her. Not only she is talented, she is a wonderful human being.

Residing on a country road, nestled between Washington, DC and Annapolis, MD, I can't help but pinch myself daily that I get to do what I love for a living. When I'm not capturing the love stories of the awesome couples I get to work with, you can find me loving every minute of life with my bald-headed husband, our sweet baby girl, and our big-eared pup.

Erin was absolutely STELLAR. PHENOMENAL from start to finish. Couldn't have been more impressed or pleased with her on my wedding day. She worked so hard to get amazing shots, all the pics I asked for, and even some I wouldn't have thought of. Can't wait to see the results, I know they will be amazing. 3

My name is Amanda and I am the owner and dreamer behind Amanda MacPhee Studios! I specialize in weddings and branding! I love being a storyteller focused on JOY! Joy of being a bride, joy of following your dreams, joy from the little things in life. I want to capture it all! A little bit about me: I'm a fur mama, a Disney fan, and a taco fiend! Now put those three things together after a wedding filled with romance and joy, and that might be the best day ever! 😁

Amanda is a true artist. Her pictures are incredible and she captures each moment in such a special way. She was incredible to work with before, on our big day, and after the wedding. She also was a step ahead of us and always kept us up to date on all the plans. Amanda is kind, fun to work with, flexible, extremely talented, and always makes everything stress free especially for those not always comfortable with being in front of the camera. If you are debating who to choose for your big day, don't look any more! Choose Amanda, she's amazing!

Growing up, DJ Theo would tag along with his father DJ Leo. By providing assistance and being “hands on” during the setup of mobile DJ equipment, assisting as an emcee and mixing during the events, DJ Theo was able to gather the necessary skills to begin a DJ career in the Washington D.C. Metro area. DJ Theo is able to deejay for large crowds and has the ability to entertain at weddings and corporate events with a variety of music. Using the latest software and professional sound equipment, DJ Theo is able to combine music to satisfy guests of all ages, keeping everyone dancing.

DJ Theo did an amazing job at our wedding. Everyone loved the music and have been asking for copy’s of our playlist. He was very friendly and helpful with last minute changes and add ins to our timeline.

Hello, I am Brittany Adams, I am a photographer, writer, graphic designer, and retouch artist who wishes only to exist in the world as an artist. I want everyone to fulfill their potential and I pride myself in being able to help other people see the beauty and value within themselves. Due to this I have created a heart-centered business which focus is not just earning a sustainable income but promoting confidence and independence in women.

Anyone can take a picture, but she captured our very small ceremony at the Virginia Fine Arts Museum with the most stunning and artistic photos, both black and white and in color. She is a total professional, was very easy to work with and the end result photos are exactly what we were looking for. I would HIGHLY recommend her for a wedding or really any event at all!

We offer several options to fit your wedding needs & budget. Because planning your wedding should be exciting and not worrisome. Don't take a chance on forgetting any little details. We're here to pass the work off so you can get down to fun things like enjoying your family and friends and making sure your big day goes perfect.

All the amazing reviews of Tiffany reflect my own experience as half of a clueless couple whose hands Tiffany held for over a year. Where do I even begin... Tiffany was the first vendor we hired for our wedding, and from then on, she helped us assemble a dream team. We hired Tiffany for the full planning package. With her years of experience planning events and weddings of all sizes in the DMV area, she was able to introduce us to our beyond professional make up artist, cake designer, florist, and catering team. We had a lot of questions and she simply knew all the answers. Our friends and families marveled at how relaxed we were about our upcoming wedding, but there was literally nothing for us to worry about because we were working with Tiffany! Tiffany KNOWS wedding planning and takes great care of her clients AND their families. If you're looking for someone who is kind, responsive, and thorough--and you really should be looking for those qualities in the person planning one of the biggest days of your life--Tiffany is the planner for you. Thank you Tiffany!!!
