I have been using Daniel as my number one preferred private bartender for every single event that I have thrown, planned, or coordinated. I work in the private event industry - meaning from Brides, Nonprofits to Fundraisers and beyond. He always has the utmost respect for clients as well as always is ready for a challenge. Not only does he bring all of the mixers and shakers but he does not pre-purchase his dried fruit and really creates an upscale bar, which I have yet to find anywhere else. Daniel is truly the best to work with but also to is beyond affordable for everything he provides.

It is really hard to put into words how incredible Susan is. She can quite literally do it all. To be honest, I’m not sure what Susan can’t do. When beginning to plan our wedding, we knew we needed a wedding planner who was organized, knowledgeable, and would be able to take our ideas and bring them to life. Queue Susan Norcross- The Styled Bride. I had heard and read so many great things about Susan and given her excellent track record, it was no question that she was the best choice to help us plan a really special and memorable day. Susan did just that. From our initial conversation up until the end of our wedding day, Susan proved to be far beyond excellent. We worked with Susan for 18 months and she never skipped a beat. She got things done quickly, she was honest, organized, knowledgeable, detail oriented and most importantly, she was trustworthy. Susan understood our vision and she helped to curate an unbelievable team of vendors who brought that vision to life. She communicated and coordinated with each of our vendors and made sure that all of the boxes were triple checked. We communicated almost daily and Susan was always quick to respond, answer questions and provide any updates not only to me but also to my mom who was involved in the entire planning process as well. From walking through our venue site several times, meeting with the venue and catering team, scheduling and meeting to help us choose our stationary, linens and furniture, flowers and food options to hopping on countless zoom calls and phone calls with vendors to discuss anything from music, photography, videography or to just simply check in... Susan was with us every step of the way. When it came to Wedding Day, I don’t think I expected to feel as relaxed and at ease as I did. It was because I knew everything was taken care of and I trusted that Susan and her incredible team had everything under control. The entire day could not have been more perfect. With that being said, I think it is safe to say that being named The Best Wedding Planner in America is no mistake. Susan and her team are truly unmatched. I feel so lucky to have been able to work with The Styled Bride team and personally experience Susan’s magic and unbelievable work. My gratitude far surpasses words. If you are looking to hire a wedding planner, look no further! Choosing The Style Bride will undoubtedly be the best wedding planning decision you make

Hey, how cool of you to end up here. I promise not to bore you with a bunch of flowery language or over-the-top promises. I love to document real moments. Weddings, elopements, couples' shenanigans - you name it, I am here for it. I do this with a healthy dose of humor, a dash of sarcasm and a whole lot of heart. So if you're looking for someone to capture your day in all its imperfect glory, say something, let's make it happen.

Loy at Sweet Lime takes some great photos. He was a joy to work with and helped set the room up by providing a suggestion that none of the restaurant staff, or us, had thought of which ended up working swimmingly. The day of the wedding, he was present but also not too if that makes sense. He was kind enough to send us a couple preview shots while we impatiently/patiently waited. The photos are well worth the wait. I would be happy to recommend Sweet Lime Photography. You will not be disappointed in his service.

Angelica captured our special day absolutely perfectly. We had hired her for our wedding that was supposed to happen in 2020 but had to be rescheduled for 3 years later due to the pandemic and through that entire time she stuck with us! She was communicative and responsive, and her shots were absolutely gorgeous. She managed to capture every single important moment of our celebration and the way she guides and corrals everyone into taking pictures that look good is nothing short of a miracle (trust me, I feel so awkward in front of the camera and I look incredible in all of my wedding shots.) If you need a photographer for your wedding, Angelica is 100% your girl.

My makeup was a little messed up from happy crying at our ceremony and they assured me it would not be a problem. Sure enough we got the photos back and they were BEAUTIFUL. They looked so natural and I did not see any of the makeup flaws I had that day. I think it is important to also mention that having two photographers is a game changer! They caught some pretty incredible moments from all different angles during our reception and worked so well together to create some unique/beautiful photos.

When my husband and I were looking into wedding entertainment, we wanted a band that would keep everyone on the dance floor all night long. As two Penn Staters, who couldn't have had a better fit than My Hero Zero. Everyone we worked with, from their management team, to the band itself was amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better band, the dance floor was packed the entire time and people commented how it was the most fun wedding they had every been too. Working with Angel, their manager, was a breeze. She helped to coordinate everything from ceremony music, cocktail hour and even the playlist during the band's intermission. Jason was great at all of the emcee aspects of a wedding and all of the Penn State tie ins, from fight songs to Zombie Nation was exactly what we wanted. We didn't feel like we were at a wedding, we felt like we were at a concert! Each member of the band is so talented, we couldn't have been happier with the decision to have My Hero Zero perform at our wedding, would hire them 10 times out of 10!

I am Carolina Schierholz, the owner and Chef of Sweet Carolina Cakes Studio. I create trendy wedding cakes for couples in Fredericksburg, Northern Virginia, and Maryland. I have 16 years of professional expertise and a background in art and design. All my cakes are custom designed, so you can experience the legitimate luxury of having precisely what you want. I will work closely with you to bring your ideas to life. From the first consultation to the delivery on your wedding day, I personally manage every detail.

I met Carolina at a wedding expo in 2021 and collected her information. Soon after I contacted her to arrange a time to do a cake tasting for our wedding. She provided samples of our choosing plus other samples to try. All of the samples were tasty and it was a difficult decision to narrow down the choices, but we did it! We ended up choosing two flavors for our wedding cake. I picked the Italian Cream, and my husband chose Banana Nut. I created and added the Wedding Cake Topper, and added wooden flowers to the cake. One of the things that Carolina offers is a small one year anniversary cake freshly baked instead of saving the top tier of the wedding cake to eat later. As we enjoyed our anniversary cake, we instantly took a took a trip back to our wedding day. Fast forward to 2024, and I contacted Carolina again to create some magic for our baby shower cake with one layer as Banana Nut and the second layer as Tres Leches. I asked her to create a jungle themed cake and provided a picture as an example. She came through once again and it was enjoyable to eat. For both the Wedding and Baby Shower, Carolina created our cakes like the pictures and it was quite tasty for both occasions. She is also a great communicator and I did not feel lost during the process at all. We will continue to use her in events to come.

I am Giovana, a makeup artist for 5 years, I am from Brazil and live in Pa, did several makeup courses in Brazil, and became a licensed esthetician here in Pennsylvania. In Brazil, I made a visage course where I learned how to use the measurements of the face to do the best harmonic makeup for every face shape and features. Apply this knowledge together with the components of the wedding and the bride’s personality to do the best makeup for you. My makeup is a natural glam style, that makes you feel pretty but also makeup you feel like YOURSELF.

I cannot recommend the Giovanna Tome Makeup team enough! From our very first meeting, I knew I had found the right person to make me look and feel beautiful on my wedding day. Giovanna and Mikaylah are not only incredibly talented but also so warm, professional, and easy to work with. For the trial, Giovanna and Mikaylah really took the time to understand the look I was going for, asking the right questions and offering great advice on what would suit my skin tone and the overall style of my wedding. I felt completely at ease, and we created a look that was both natural and glamorous – just what I had envisioned! On the day of the wedding, Mikaylah was punctual, organized, and such a calming presence. My makeup lasted all day and night – it looked flawless through the ceremony, photos, and even dancing at the reception. I was amazed at how it stayed in place and looked fresh the entire time, even through all the hugs and happy tears! Not only did I feel stunning, but my mother, mother-in-law and flower girls were also so happy with their makeup. Each one was made to feel comfortable and beautiful, and they all commented on how much they loved their looks. What really stood out was how Mikaylah listened to my preferences and made sure I felt like the best version of myself. I didn’t want to look too "done," and Mikaylah totally understood that, creating a soft, elegant look that was both timeless and flattering. If you want a makeup artist who is skilled, professional, and genuinely passionate about making you look and feel your best, look no further than the Giovanna Tome Makeup team. Thank you again for making me feel like a true bride on my wedding day – I felt absolutely beautiful, and I owe it all to you!

Hi! I'm Ashley, a traveling wedding photographer based in the DMV area. As a traveling wedding photographer, I'm always on the move, ready to embark on new adventures and document love in the most breathtaking locations. From adventorous elopements to grand celebrations in majestic venues, I thrive on capturing the unique essence of each couple's journey. I believe that photography is more than just taking photos; it's about freezing moments in time, preserving the raw emotions and genuine connections that make weddings so special. My goal is to craft a visual narrative that reflects your personalities, your love, and the beauty of your day.

We could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding day!! From the moment we met, Ashley made us feel completely at ease, and throughout the entire process, she was both professional and personable. She listened to our thoughts and needs, and executed them beautifully!! The day of the wedding, she captured every special moment—both big and small—with such precision and artistry. Ashley didn’t just take pictures; she told the story of our day through her lens. Every time we look at our photos, we are transported back to that magical day, reliving the emotions, the laughter, and even the quiet, tender moments we might have missed in the hustle and bustle of it all. Oh and if you are also camera-nervous couple like us, don’t worry, Ashley gets your back!! Her attention to detail and ability made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! We were both a little nervous about being photographed, but she had a way of guiding us through each shot in such a relaxed, natural way that we almost forgot we were posing. ;) The final images exceeded all of our expectations!! She perfectly balanced candid shots with more traditional portraits, and the lighting, composition, and timing were just flawless! We looked at our photos and we were both like “who are these stunning people??” We’ve received countless compliments on the photos, our families and friends are still raving about how beautiful and authentic the photos are, and we’ll treasure them for the rest of our lives!! We’re so grateful to have had Southern & Grace Photography as part of our wedding day—captured the essence of who we are as a couple, and we are very thankful for her professionalism, talent, and the heart she put into her work—truly a highlight of our wedding experience! 10/10 recommended!! :)

Petya is absolutely incredible- she’s the best! From our first phone call, Petya was warm and welcoming, professional and enthusiastic. It felt like talking to an old friend. She made the music process easy and stress-free, and even learned a song for our ceremony. We did not have a DJ, so everything relied on the violin. The background tracks filled in the music beautifully, and you could tell Petya gave it her all and played her heart out, and EVERYONE knew it! We had so many compliments on her and her music. When it was time for her to finish up and have some dinner, she was invited to sit at multiple guest tables, and our family didn’t want her to leave! We cannot recommend Petya more! We consider her a friend now, and know that we will meet her again in the future!

Holly V Rice Photography is an engagement and wedding photography business based out of both Hampton Roads and Richmond, VA! I describe my style as warm, classic, and joyful. I love celebrating LOVE in all of its forms! Nothing makes me happier than getting to know a couple and getting to capture their special moments.

Holly was so great to work with! She did a great job throughout the day and the lead up! Highly recommend booking her for extra events leading up to the wedding! Engagement photos were included in the package we purchased from her, but we also booked her to take photos at our engagement party and rehearsal dinner. My husband is not a huge photo person, so having those extra opportunities to meet with Holly and get everyone more comfortable together really led to some great photos! She is bright and bubbly and helped keep everything running smoothly. We also had some trouble getting our bouquets put together and she jumped right in and helped us make sure they were looking perfect for the walk down the aisle (and the photos!). Holly captured everything perfectly - from the serious "formal" photos, to the funny moments and the dance party at the end. She captured everything so perfectly! Holly was absolutely the right choice when it came to capturing some of our most important moments 3

This is a way too late review for a spectacular wedding planner and event designer who brought to life the wedding of my dreams in June 2022! Lauren and her team truly provide a 5-star experience in every way and more. Before I met Lauren, I had a vision for my wedding, but really wasn't sure how to bring it to fruition. I was walking through the "steps" recommended in different timeline sheets, which in itself is very tiring, and starting very big picture. But as anyone who has planned a wedding knows, the details start to become very, very overwhelming - especially when there's a specific look and feel you want for your wedding. Where do you invest your time and money? That's where Lauren was a lifesaver. Some key moments in our work together included: aligning us via several conversations and an inspiration deck (really important for making sure you're on the same page), meeting me at a rental facility to walk through design elements together, coordinating with family members to make sure she got a comprehensive picture of what really mattered to me (bless my partner, he couldn't care less), and "secretly" working with family members to make the vision "bigger and better" and surprise me. Lauren also has an IMPECCABLE eye for how to bring all the million details together. She hand-selected and/or advised on every detail, from utensil colors to linens to stamp types to wax seals - all the tiny details that create a full "experience" for you and your guests, but by the end, you don't have energy to pick yourself! Moreover, Lauren is incredibly professional, warm, direct, patient, and supportive - all traits you need in a planner and designer. She will also tell you what she thinks, which is essential, particularly in the home stretch! By the end, Lauren was responsible for creating the wedding of my dreams. I can truly say it was the most magical weekend of my life, and while all weddings are so special when you have the people you love, it doesn't quite feel *spectacular* without all those details coming together. I am happy to share photos of my event with anyone who asks, or simply look at Lauren's instagram for her incredible work. Thank you, Lauren - we were so lucky to find you!!! 3

When I went to college I knew I wanted to have a career that allowed me to work with people and so I studied Social Work and Psychology! Photography was a hobby but when my friend found her self with no photographer days before her wedding, she asked if I could shoot her day and from the first wedding I was hooked! 11 years later and I think I have the best job on the planet. I have been married to the love of my life Jordan for 6 years now and she is the extra magic in Swiger Photography. We have a lil rescue pup named Furgie and spend our free time trying new bourbons and exploring Philadelphia!

I have known Amanda both professionally and personally for several years, and when the time came to choose my own wedding photographer, there was no question that she was it. She is incredibly professional, personable, and has a way to bring the light out of every person who stands in front of her camera. She works with such ease and confidence that there was not a single moment that I felt stressed during our day, because I knew our moments were being captured. Leading up to the wedding, Amanda made sure that she really understood our vision for our day, and absolutely delivered! If you are looking for a photographer that can make even the most shy family member absolutely shine, who brings laughter and joy to your wedding, and who will unequivocally give her all to capturing your precious moments, you would be remiss not to hire Swiger Photography!

I am thrilled that you have found your way here. Working in a creative field like photography, I have such an appreciation for movement and connection and meaningful, timeless images. It’s been my goal since becoming a full-time wedding photographer to deliver to my clients enduring images that can be appreciated by their children and grandchildren. Photography is about capturing that perfect moment but it is also about providing a positive portrait experience for my clients so that they not only remember the images but they remember how much fun they had making the memories.

We were fortunate enough to find Joanna for our engagement photos and wedding photos. And we have continued to use her since then for family photos. One thing I love about her is she doesn’t have a travel fee. Our wedding was in Lexington, VA. She is also great with kids and goes with the flow. She’s got such a calm personality that puts you at ease and taking photos with her felt effortless. She also worked around our videographer seamlessly. Most importantly of course, our pictures are stunning!!

A Charleston Wedding Photographer with a fierce love for storytelling, fostering memories and capturing those moments that you will want to treasure forever. I get to tell your story. And, I think that’s pretty cool. I love traveling everywhere and anywhere, talking with my hands, buying plants (and attempting to keep them alive), and spending as much time as I can with my loved ones. I have lived in Boston, Paris, and New York City, and am now lucky enough to call Charleston home, while also still traveling the world for my clients. You can usually find me on my back porch in downtown Charleston, right next to my favorite little park.

tldr: Jessica is amazing and I don’t think you can go wrong with her if this is the style of photos you like I had a lot of difficulty picking a photographer as I’m pretty picky with photos. I knew I wanted something bright and light, with kind of a whimsical or ethereal vibe, but it was really hard finding the style until I came across the “fine art” style. Jessica’s name came up while researching this style and I decided to reach out to her among a few other fine art photographers. I definitely hoped talks would go well with Jessica as the others I contacted ended up either not responding or were wildly out of my budget. Pre-Planning: Jessica was wonderful throughout this process. She promptly responded to my emails and answered questions clearly. I never felt like I was left in the dark for any part of the process. When I sent her the timeline of the ceremony/reception, she quickly came up with a timeline to slot in all the photos to be taken ahead of time at the location (We had access to the venue for a little over an hour prior to the ceremony). She also asked for a list of family photos that we wanted to take. This made it very easy at the wedding as she could call out people’s name to make sure everyone that was supposed to be in the pictures, were in the pictures. Jessica also sent over a list of ideas for detail shots and explained she could do this ahead of time. We didn’t want extra pictures of these and decided against it, however, I still thought it was very thoughtful of her to offer. Wedding Day: I loved her energy at the wedding. She was very calm and felt very competent. She directed my husband and I throughout the pictures, showing us poses etc. During family and wedding party photos, even though we had many bodies to fit in the frame in quite a few pictures, she led us through them with ease and the entire experience was very stress free (or as stress free as can be at a wedding lol). The venue was quite dim at specific locations, but the final results did not reflect that at all. The pictures were bright and did not look like they were taken in the dark at all. (This is a little off topic but I loved the little apron with pockets she wore for her equipment. So cute) I’m not sure when Jessica had the time, but there were pictures around the venue which were so beautiful. I definitely feel like the day was captured through the pictures. Post Wedding: Jessica sent us a sneak peak 2 days after the wedding containing 23 pictures. They turned out great and were beautiful. You can see examples on her website so I won’t elaborate, but they really are that good. The full gallery was sent almost a month after the wedding (minus 2 days) with instructions on purchasing prints or an album attached. The full download contained 650ish files, including the sneak peek pictures. Half of which were black and white, so this matched up pretty perfectly with Jessica’s estimation of the amount of photos when we spoke in the pre-planning stage.
