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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing Deanna and Grant as our videographers was one of the best decisions my wife and i have ever made. We were immediately struck by the sense of genuine interest and excitement for the vision of our big day. From the beginning, Deanna and Grant go out of their way to get to know the couple they are working with, and this attention to detail comes through brilliantly in the finished product. Their enthusiasm is combined with unmatched professionalism and craftsmanship, and on the day of our wedding they were an absolute joy to have around. By the time of our big day, we felt so comfortable around Deanna and Grant that they felt more like guests than vendors. There was so little staging that it allowed us to truly experience the wedding day and remember all the “in between” moments. We were blown away by the quality and fast turnaround of the finished product. Deanna and Grant captured the entire vibe and excitement of our day! When we showed family and friends the one minute teaser, they were so impressed that they were surprised we were getting more! They gave my wife and I the gift of memories that we can cherish for a lifetime. If I get married ten times (to my beautiful wife of course), I’m choosing Harrison Films every time!

Athenaeum

Alexandria, VA
  • Venue
  • Up to 80 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $2,100

The Athenaeum is a beautifully preserved antebellum building, now serving as an art gallery. One of only two remaining examples of Neoclassical Greek Revival architecture in Alexandria, its exterior features an impressive portico supported by soaring Doric columns. Oversized windows bring natural light to the main gallery rooms, which boast 24-foot ceilings, wonderful woodwork, and exposed granite walls lined with rotating art exhibits. Your ceremony can be held in the sweet, private courtyard. This quaint, romantic space has a “secret garden” feel, sheltered from the street by high, vine-covered red brick walls. Please note wheelchair access is available only on the main floor. A/V equipment is available but limited. Viewing the Athenaeum The Athenaeum is available for viewing during gallery hours or by appointment. Gallery hours are Thursday-Sunday from 12:00pm-4:00pm. The Athenaeum is closed on holidays. Advance notice for viewing the Athenaeum is appreciated.

We recently had our wedding at the Athenaeum in Old Town Alexandria, and it was a truly special occasion! The venue was just the right size for the wedding we wanted and the style made us think of the place we got engaged, on the Acropolis in Athens. The venue has a lovely indoor gallery space as well as a courtyard and we hat our ceremony outdoors and the reception indoors. A few things you should keep in mind if you are considering the Athenaeum: the space is on the small side, which we liked, but may not suffice for some weddings; you have to choose one of their recommended caterers or pay an added fee (though we were very happy with the caterers we went with and they knew exactly how the venue worked!); the venue does not include anything beyond the actual space, all vendors and services need to be hired separately. For us, this all worked out well and we felt our guests had a great time! The venue also makes for a beautiful backdrop for photos, just make sure to reserve the parking spaces in front of it. Our only minor issue was that the rental manager was not super responsive, but his coworker was, so it wasn't a problem in the end, I just didn't know who to reach out to at first. All in all, we are so happy we got to have our wedding at the Athenaeum! The art on display on the day was cheerful and modern and everything went according to plan. So excited to see more picture and relive the special day!

Emily Nicole Artistry

  • Beauty professional
  • Starts at $120
  • Serves Poolesville, MD

My name is Emily and I've been a freelancing hair and makeup artist for 8 years. My love for all things artistry started with makeup when I was 16 years old after discovering YouTube tutorials, and the rest was history. Once I graduated high school, I went on to work for Estee Lauder for 2 years as a beauty advisor and attended their training classes. Soon after leaving Estee Lauder, I started cosmetology school and quickly figured out that makeup and styling hair was my passion.

I am absolutely thrilled to write this glowing review for Emily! From the moment we first connected, their professionalism and dedication to making me look and feel my best were evident. One of the standout aspects of working with Emily is her skill in both makeup and hair, especially the ability to work with Asian skin tones and features. They skillfully highlighted my and my bridesmaids' natural beauty, creating looks that was both stunning and authentic. They listened attentively to our preferences and expertly incorporated them into looks that were perfect for my wedding day. The level of service we received was beyond professional. Every detail was meticulously planned and executed, from the trial session to the final touch-ups on the big day. They were punctual, organized, and always prepared with everything needed to ensure a flawless execution. Their calm and reassuring presence made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. Additionally, their pricing was incredibly fair, offering exceptional value for the high quality of service provided. It was clear from the start that Emily is focused on delivering outstanding results. This level of integrity and customer care is rare and deeply appreciated. The makeup and hair designs they created were nothing short of spectacular. My makeup stayed perfect throughout the day and night, and my hair held its style, with veil and hair pieces. Overall, I cannot recommend Emily highly enough. Their talent, professionalism, and genuine care for their clients make them an absolute gem in the DMV area. They made my wedding day truly magical, and I am forever grateful for their incredible work!

Life is about enjoying special moments. It is all in the details and we pay attention to your needs and create an event that reflects your personality. We work hard to ensure each detail is captured and memorable. Let’s work together and have an unforgettable moment.

Natasha worked with Bianca for our wedding this past October, and let me just say this up front to any bride/groom: you may THINK you are type A and can handle any and every small detail in your wedding. You may THINK "how many decisions could I possibly need help with if I already have all of my vendors selected and every event for the weekend is in the same place? EASY." Welp, let me tell you folks--it is decidedly *not*. We had our wedding at the Intercontinental on the Wharf: all 3 wedding events throughout the weekend. I hired Natasha as some decisions were becoming mildly overwhelming and her prices were *chefs kiss*. When I say she and Bianca saved the day MULTIPLE times during our weekend, I am not overstating. She made every vendor organizational correspondence and handled all last minute questions they had--it was the best decision I made about the wedding (minus the groom, he's #1 ;)). Do yourself a favor as the price is MORE than absolutely worth the help and bliss Natasha will deliver you--BOOK.HER.IMMEDIATELY. She also already has working relationships with numerous vendors and locations in the city, which was astoundingly helpful. Seriously. Just book her and truly enjoy your wedding planning process!

Kendra Bliss is a self-taught, bridal makeup artist from Lanham, MD. Her passion for makeup artistry began in college. In 2011, she realized there was a shortage of makeup artists for women of varying skin color and types. Since she loved to get her makeup done and did not have a place to go, she decided to educate herself and be there. Since then, she has learned immensely by taking makeup classes, and consistently practicing with family and friends. Now she is published and recognized in the bridal industry in publications such as MunaLuchi Bride!

Kendra is the ultimate professional! As a Photographer, I rely on my Makeup Artist to do work that makes it easy for me to photograph and retouch. Whenever Kendra does makeup for my clients (as she is my preferred vendor), the makeup is flawless and I'm rarely doing any retouching. Aside from her makeup application, she's the ultimate professional. She's always on time, reliable, my clients always have a good experience and she's extremley creative!

All were very pleasant, knowledgeable, flexible and accommodating with our arrangements, and were very responsive answering numerous questions that we had. The wedding set up was exactly as discussed and the transition from outdoor to indoor on the day of the wedding (way too windy a day for an outdoor ceremony) was seamless, thanks to the wonderful staff! The reception area, bar, and food was set up exactly as had been discussed and the food was delicious! All of the guests commented on how wonderful the food and staff were. Staff also was very helpful with connecting our music through the hotel's WIFI system. We were even given a room for dressing and preparing for the ceremony. The atmosphere was very relaxed and professional (but not stuffy) and we never felt rushed or anxious about any of the arrangements. The amount owed was exactly what we had been told so there were no surprises there. Overall, it was a perfect day and the staff and facilities at the Marriott couldn't have been any better. I would not hesitate to hold any future events there, knowing the kind attention paid to every detail to make every event special.

I personally Love to create beautiful, effortless bridal makeup looks for someone’s special day! From very natural makeup to glam makeup depending on your style! After working my first wedding I became obsessed with the beauty industry. I wanted to keep growing and learned basic makeup looks to full glam and airbrush. Specializing in bridal glam I continued to work weddings and loved the environment and the idea of being able to enhance a bride’s look for the day! Being able to create the perfect look for you is the goal! Feeling comfortable and beautiful.

I hired Danna to do my wedding makeup. At the makeup trial, we went with one look and on the day of my wedding, I completely changed it up on Danna and she delivered despite the change! I wanted a more natural look, something that made me feel like an enhanced version of myself and Danna did an amazing job achieving that! She is a sweetheart, has a great personality and you can tell she really cares about her craft. Always professional, responsive and very skilled at what she does. I've already contacted her to do my baby shower makeup because I trust her work and know she will make me feel beautiful that day! Thank you, Danna!!! 3

We're so glad we booked our small ceremony at Carlyle House! While we initially planned to get married on the front lawn, we pivoted to their tent on the veranda due to rain and it was just as perfect. Randi was so responsive leading up to the big day and was there to help on our wedding day, including helping wrangle our golden retriever!

Growing up with a passion for skateboarding provided me with a creative view of the world around me. I've been taking pictures professionally for about 8 years and I'm inspired by the music I listen to and those that I love being creative with. I have also photographed many different subjects, scenes, and moments! There's a picture around every corner.

Steve photographed our wedding, which was pretty small by most standards. He arrived on time, prepared, and he was very easy to work with both before and during the event. His photographs turned out great, and we can definitely say he gave us a good value for what we paid. We would gladly recommend him to any of our friends for their photography work. Thanks again Steve
