Elevation Cakes & Sweets 

5.0

  • Cakes & desserts
  • Starts at $450
  • Serves Sterling, VA

Alicia's journey into the world of baking and culinary arts is a heartwarming story of passion and dedication. It's evident that her love for baking was instilled at a young age by her paternal grandmother, who not only shared her cooking skills but also fostered a deep appreciation for the joy that food can bring to people's lives. From learning from her grandmother to transitioning into the Baking Industry, her determination to succeed holds no bounds. Today, she puts all of her focus into creating top quality desserts that not only look appealing, but gives unmatched quality in taste.

Elevation Cakes & Sweets was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, their communication was prompt, detailed, and consistent, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. The quality of their work was truly eloquent - the cake they created was not only beautiful, with elements that perfectly captured our retro theme, but the flavors were divine and the inside colors matched our theme flawlessly. Our guests raved about the unique flavors and how moist the cake was. They also placed the flowers on the cake exactly as we had requested. Elevation Cakes & Sweets helped make our special day even more romantic and memorable. We highly recommend them to any couple looking for a bakery that delivers both exceptional service and delicious desserts.

I really can’t say enough about how great Clarice is! She was so helpful in the planning process. Her recommendations for vendors were completely on point - with respect to both budget and personality. She was great at guiding us through what questions to ask of the venue and thought about everything we would never have thought to ask. However, day-of was really where she shown. She handled so many issues that we had no idea were even happening. We had such a blast at our wedding and so much of that was due to Clarice!

Awarded Best of Zola
Love & Light Entertainment was the perfect DJ choice for our wedding. From the beginning, Josh and Lynn were incredibly organized, responsive, and attentive to all the details. They worked closely with our wedding coordinator to ensure the music and timing for the night ran seamlessly. Josh was especially flexible and collaborative, working with us to create a custom dinner playlist where each table was called up to the buffet line by a song from the album on their table. This personal touch was a huge hit with our guests. We had a smoke machine for our first dance that was having trouble, Josh fixed it enough to use it for some of the dancing throughout the night. We had put some songs on the dancing section of the portal that is set up for each couple (which is amazing) those songs were not played during the reception. There was a requests page and we probably should have put the songs we really wanted there, it is more direct than putting it on the dancing section, something for others to keep in mind. Josh also played a groomsmen and bridesmaids song. The groomsmen’s song was perfect for them, if I had known, I probably would have changed the bridesmaids choice. We loved the music that was picked and everyone continues to tell us how they had not seen a wedding where the dance floor was full the whole time. We also continue to get positive comments on how great the music choices were. Everyone loved our phone audio guest book. Josh let us use any phone we wanted as long as it had the cables he needed which is great when wanting to have a phone that matches your theme. Love & Light has a variety of services and packages to pick and choose from to meet anyone’s needs. Overall, Love & Light provided professional, high-quality service that exceeded our expectations and helped make our wedding day truly special.

UPSCALE, WHIMSICAL & ORGANIC DESIGNS FOR WEDDINGS & EVENTS Our florals are designed in-house, organic and full of texture. We design elevated garden-style florals for all of life’s beautiful celebrations. We are inspired by farmer’s market flowers, and always use locally grown and sourced flowers, including from our own cutting garden. Our bridal bouquets are to die for! As an expert Event Floral Designer/Event Stylist, I work with you from initial consultation to delivering your beautiful event flowers. Our full service custom floral design minimum investment starts at $10,000+ and $3,800+ for smaller events and gatherings (pre-tax).

My now husband and I have said multiple times that the best wedding-related decision we made was to work with Glory. To simply say that she goes above and beyond for her couples does not fully capture her level of dedication. We connected from our first phone meeting and she continued to be incredibly patient, giving, and thoughtful throughout our wedding planning journey (which included an unexpected job move across the country!). Her vision and execution are outstanding. I still cannot get over the stunning floral arrangements and special little details she put together for our wedding day. The vendors she helped us choose made things run smoothly and at the same level of excellence. Our guests had a fantastic time. We're so grateful to have worked with Glory. She is the best!

Megan is an incredibly talented, kind, thoughtful, and professional photographer - everything we looked for in a photographer and even more. Megan has photographed not only our wedding, but also our surprise engagement proposal and legal wedding ceremony. After each event, my partner and I are stunned looking at how beautiful her photos are, how so many different moments are captured, and how creative Megan is in crafting shots. For our wedding in particular, Megan was super helpful from the planning stage all the way to the end of the night. We were quite familiar with our venue location (Old Town Alexandria, VA), but Megan has such an impressive understanding of the area that she led us to so many beautiful photo locations that we wouldn’t have thought of. During the wedding, she caught every important moment as well as candids without us even knowing she was there! Even when we asked Megan to take a lot of group family photos at the very end of the night, she stayed with us to make sure we got everything. She is so kind and easy to work with, extremely responsive, and also helped de-stress us during the wedding night when things were falling a little behind schedule. Our family and friends cannot stop raving about how beautiful all the pictures are. We feel grateful to have been able to work with Megan and highly recommend working with her to anyone looking for a photographer!

Capturing love stories through my lens is not just a job but a profound joy that I cherish with every wedding I photograph.

I believe in always having fun and prioritizing an stress-free lifestyle which translates into my photography style — vibrant, authentic, and joyful.

There are no amount of words to be able to explain how much I enjoyed working with Morgan for our wedding! Long story short, 6 weeks out we were suddenly in need of a new photographer & videographer.

Though we met Morgan for the first time on our wedding day, she immediately made us feel comfortable. She is so fun and kind but also knows how to take charge when needed! She is extremely organized & did a great job capturing the photos I wanted based on inspiration photos. Our bridal party had so much fun taking photos which says a lot if you've ever been a part of one. My hubby even enjoyed taking photos which he hates to do! Her second shooter, Hannah, was super sweet, a great help, and added amazing ideas & photos. Morgan gave us so many beautiful photos that we will cherish forever! I seriously can't recommend Morgan enough!!

The sweet glances that make your fingertips tingle. The look that makes your heart thump in your chest. The loopy butterflies in your stomach as you’re about to walk down the aisle. Those feelings. The photos I produce allow you to hold those feelings in your hand, and keep them safe for eternity.

We absolutely loved working with Maria for our engagement and wedding photos! We knew from looking at her portfolio for the first time and after we connected over the phone that we’d found exactly the right person to capture our celebration. From in-person meetings to Zoom syncs, our partnership with Maria immediately felt comfortable and collaborative. Maria brought warmth and her expertise to the table, while we brought our personalities and our vision to capture the vibrance and energy of our wedding day. There are three main elements that I want to highlight from working together with Maria: 1. Our rainy day engagement shoot in Brooklyn - despite us being based in Brooklyn, NY and our wedding venue and Maria both being located in the greater Washington, DC area, Maria made her way up to NYC and graciously did an engagement shoot with us capturing shots in some of our favorite places around Brooklyn. At first we were a bit worried when we saw that rain was in the forecast for our shoot day, but Maria assured us that the rain would only add to the romanticism of the shoot and she was absolutely right and truly delivered great shots. Not only that, she was great at directing us and making us feel relaxed throughout the entire session. 2. Maria’s unique proposal for our wedding day shoot - we connected with Maria nine months prior to our wedding, but she’s a sought after photographer! She was already booked on our wedding date, so she suggested an alternative for us to still be able to leverage her services and her editorial eye: she would suggest another trusted photographer to take raw photos on the day of our wedding, while she would still own all of the planning, coordination, and editing of all of our wedding photos so our images still got the Rise & Roam treatment. 3. Our wedding photos - Maria was highly communicative and phenomenal at making sure she understood what we were looking for in our shots. She made sure that our day-of raw photographer was aligned with our vision as well. (Shoutout to Sarah Mattozzi for being such a great day-of photographer and for partnering with Maria on our unique photography setup! Loved working with Sarah!). Just a few days after our wedding, Maria sent us a bunch of preview photos from the shoot and we were immediately struck by how well they turned out. Once we got the full album drop, we were so happy with all the images!! Maria captured the spirit, energy, and fun that was such a core part of our wedding celebration! Overall, I would highly highly recommend Maria to capture your own special day because she did a phenomenal job on capturing our celebration!

Christian captured our wedding day perfectly. He listened to our requests and made sure our wishes came true. It was important for us to have a videographer that captured parts of the day that we didn’t get to see on our wedding day, but we can go back to watch anytime we want. We have had so much fun reliving our wedding day by watching these videos and sharing with our families, and this wouldn’t have been possible without Christian and his team. We’d pick Christian over and over again!

Hi! My name is Katie, and I'm a one-woman photographer team. I've been capturing weddings for over 12 years, and my goal has always been to provide luxury quality at affordable prices. My style is a mix: fine art when capturing details and posed portraits; photojournalistic when capturing candid moments throughout the day. I emphasize natural light, true colors, clean compositions, comfortable posing, and authentic moments. When I'm not taking pictures, you can find me homeschooling my two awesome kids, teaching speech & debate, reading obsessively, and watching Lord of the Rings on repeat :)

From the moment we booked Katie for our wedding, her communication was clear, timely, and backed up with a clearly written contract and follow-up texts. She was exceptionally kind to us, asked great questions ahead of time to help us figure out what we wanted and wanted to prioritize. On the day of, she expertly navigated our changing needs, like accommodating tiny kids’ timelines. She was also exceptionally kind to take photos at the family farm in addition to the church, for some more scenery. Her work is truly natural, elegant, lifelike, and absolutely beautiful - we were thrilled with the final photos that captured all the special moments of our day, including our first look at the altar. Neither my husband or I enjoy having our picture taken much at all, but Katie did a phenomenal job putting us at ease, giving us clear and concise posing direction, and capturing us looking our best in our happiest moments. Katie was a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented, professional photography team to help make their wedding day perfect. I have recommended her to all of my engaged friends without hesitation, and would recommend her to you too!

She moved to the U.S. at nine and served in the Marines for seven years before turning her lifelong love for photography into a career. Her approach to photography is far from cookie-cutter.

Where to even start? From the planning of the engagement session to the execution of our wedding day photography, Nam was so fun, helpful, encouraging, and professional. She made all of our dreams come true with every picture and has made memories that we will cherish forever. Nam’s laidback fun personality made both my husband and I feel comfortable to be ourselves in front of the camera even though neither one of us are big fans of having our picture taken. She captured us in a way that showed our love in every picture, and it never felt like unnatural or like a photoshoot. She has a way of making people feel seen, and her pictures show that. If you want to always remember the way you *feel*, I would highly recommend Nam. She captures heart on film, and we feel so lucky to have that memorialized forever!
