Annemarie Deale Photography

5.0

Fairfax, VA
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $5,300

Annemarie Deale is a Washington, D.C. wedding photographer who takes a balanced approach to the way she captures you and yours. With a knack for authentic storytelling, she works to capture a combination of artful, composed imagery and joyful candids that exude the energy and preserve the emotions of your event. She believes deeply that both the aesthetics of your day (which are sure to be stunning) and the spirit of your celebration deserve equal attention and documentation.

Awarded Best of Zola
Annemarie deserves all of the praise in the world, because she is truly the best vendor you could hope for. It goes without saying that we first wanted to hire Annemarie when we saw her stunning photographs--she is incredibly talented and has a true eye for beauty. However, with Annemarie you get so much more than that. The short version: if you want a photographer who goes above and beyond and is extremely talented, professional, responsive, helpful, reliable, kind, and accommodating, you absolutely need to hire her. The detailed version: We first met Annemarie when we did our engagement shoot, exactly a year before our wedding. The shoot was a wonderful experience thanks to her--she had so many creative ideas of where to get the perfect pictures, she gave clear directions that made us feel comfortable and at ease, and in between pictures she was wonderful and lovely to talk to. She never made us feel rushed, and even went to a second location with us to shoot more pictures. She sent us an entire gallery full of gorgeous pictures within a few weeks. As our wedding approached, she reached out consistently to check up on us, and created a detailed timeline and shot list for our day--following up and responding at any and all times with extremely useful suggestions. One day, our coordinator scheduled a very last minute venue walk-through which was not necessary to attend; we reached out to Annemarie with absolutely no expectation of her attending (less than 24 hours notice) and she immediately responded that she would be there. At the walkthrough, she again provided us with so much wonderful advice and helpful suggestions, and scoped out the entire venue with me to get ideas of where she would take pictures. On the day of our wedding, she made the day run seamlessly--providing guidance, and making sure everyone was in the locations and sticking to the schedule. She has a very calming presence, which is super useful on such a hectic day full of activities. She also brought an assistant and a second shooter with her--the three made a wonderful team that captured every important moment. I realized suddenly that I really wanted to extend Annemarie's time with us at the wedding, and was panicked because I hadn't thought to extend the contract. I pulled her aside and she immediately reassured me that she would stay and not to worry. Our wedding ended Saturday at midnight--we had a beautiful preview of our photographs by Monday morning, and our full gallery a few weeks later. We would recommend Annemarie to absolutely anyone getting married--you need the best vendors for your most important day (and arguably, photographers are one of the most important vendors), and she's simply the best.

DJ Casanova Productions

5.0

Silver Spring, MD
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500

If you’ve had a good time at a wedding or event in the DC/Maryland/VA area, chances are it was DJ Casanova that got you moving. You know him as DJ Casanova, but around the office, we just call him Jamie. Back in the day, he was just a child of immigrants recording his favorite songs over his parent’s cassette tapes (sorry Mom and Dad) so he could listen to them on his prized Walkman. Jamie entered the DJ field in 2009, and before long he was spinning something at a different party every week. Pretty soon he realized that sharing his love of music with like-minded folks was more than just a hobby, it was a gift.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our Guests LOVED the music and Jamie was so easy to work with! If you want a DJ who is easy to work with, great at his craft, and cares about you and your needs, Jaime (DJ Casanova) is your man! My wife and I come from very different musical backgrounds, so making sure all of our family and friends had a good time and felt well-represented during the party was really important to us. From day one, Jaime made it feel like we were working with an old friend who just wanted the best for our wedding and he absolutely delivered! Everyone had so much fun and guest after guest commented on how much they enjoyed the music during the party. It’s also worth mentioning that Jaime hung with us after we had to reschedule our reception twice over two years (thanks, COVID) and worked with the rest of our vendors to make the long-awaited day as memorable as we could have ever hoped. Thanks, Jamie!

Makeup by Kiley Smith

Fairfax, VA
  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 1
  • Starts at $600

As a musical theatre performer, I loved makeup – the cakey, heavy stage looks, not as much. Then, at my own wedding, I found myself in a similar predicament: heavily made up to the point of not looking entirely like myself. I dedicated myself to honing my passion for natural makeup artistry for beauty, bridal, film and TV, perfecting my craft and learning from industry experts. My work has been featured in respected platforms such as Washington Family Magazine, the Emmy Awards, and DCW50 (DC's CW Network). Now, I create timeless, skin-forward makeup looks that put my clients’ natural beauty center stage.

Photography register moments for generations to come. It documents lives. It brings you back to the past. It reminds you of how you were feeling at the time those images were taken. This is why I love it so much. And the whole reason why I created “Luxy”. My goal is to help our clients feel the same way I do when I look at photographs of my life. The immense joy and pleasure of knowing that I - as everyone else - have a story to tell!

Tai did our wedding photos and they came out lovely. She was perfect for our budget and didn’t disappoint. My husband and I are long distant as I am so grateful to have these photos to look at while he is away for the next 4-8 months. Thank you, Tai!

Born and raised in Maryland, and will forever be a Maryland girl at heart. I relocated to Virginia in 2015 after graduating from the University of Maryland, College Park (GO TERPS). Now, I live in Northern Virginia with my college sweetheart, our 3 rescue pups and our baby boy. I started my planning journey in college, planning my sorority's events, along with various corporate and charity events. After graduation, I started shadowing wedding planners in the industry, learning the ever-changing world that we call wedding planning, and the rest is history! I love making couples dreams a reality!

Laura made our dreams come true! She saved us from a disaster with one of our vendors and found us an incredible florist one month before the wedding. She made everything look so beautiful at both the ceremony and the reception. She understood our vision and executed it to perfection! I was afraid to bother her with overcommunicating, but Laura put my fears to rest and was there for me, met with me multiple times prior to the wedding, and made sure I was happy and comfortable! We are sooooo thankful for Laura!

So much to say about Jessica… extremely professional, and outgoing, extremely patient and made us feel very comfortable. So the weather was supposed to be horrible on my wedding day, but she was so prepared and helped me enjoy every minutes of the most important day of my life. It rained cats and dogs that day but literally 30 minute before the ceremony started God bless us with the most beautiful sunset and a rainbow on top of it.

My passion for photography grew when my daughter, Lotus, was born in 2004 and I began documenting her childhood with an eye toward catching each irreplaceable moment. Soon, friends and then friends of friends asked me to photograph their children and families. Before long, I was documenting the lives and milestones of people all over the DMV area. I realized how happy I was connecting with people and capturing special moments, and so I launched Lotus Photography in 2012 - named for my first muse.

I highly, highly recommend Georgette with Lotus Photography. She is the sweetest, most joyful, gifted photographer and as an event planner and day-of wedding coordinator I genuinely love working with her. She is sweet, bubbly, kind, and incredibly talented. 11/10 recommend!!

We are a full service event planning company. We love wedding planning and look forward to speaking with you and sharing how we can ensure your event is a memorable. We specialize in attention to detail and making sure your event runs efficiently and smoothly. We have planned thousands of events over the past fourteen years.

Regardless of the event site, size, or budget, we place a premium on attention to detail and design. We make sure the event fits your personality in every way possible. We'll work to make your dreams a reality.

We made a somewhat last minute decision to hire a “day of” just to help with some set up and tear down of decorations. But now, after the wedding, I cannot imagine having made it through the day without Michelle. She accomplished everything we needed and things we had no idea we needed - from ensuring tables were in the right place, to making sure people were where they needed to be. Michelle was the absolute best and most helpful. She was somehow everywhere at all times and knew every movement throughout the night. We could not have done it without her. Beyond five stars!

We had a great feeling about Andrea from the time we first met over Zoom, and our instincts were absolutely correct. She is so warm, in control, and knowledgeable -- our experience planning our wedding could not have been smoother or more pleasant. We gave her our budget number, and she immediately reassured us that she could deliver the wedding of our dreams... and she did. The network of vendors she connected us with were all fantastic, and her calm demeanor kept us at ease and was also a huge help in soothing our parents' anxiety throughout the process. We are elated that we had the chance to work with and get to know her. Andrea is absolutely fantastic and we were trying to make a newly engaged cousin hire her during our own wedding!

Wonderful service, a wonderful person, and beautiful florals! Mountain Mama Florals was such a pleasure to work with! Savannah was always quick to respond and was so helpful in guiding me through the floral process, since I was unsure about what I wanted. She sent me recommendations and inspiration photos and always gave me multiple styles to choose from, like when we were choosing vases. She was also super nice and flexible when I wanted to add things to our centerpieces and used photos to make sure we were on the same page with what we were getting. She even was able to add an extra centerpiece day off when I forgot to tell her that I had added a table..whoops! We were so lucky to have found someone who matched our budget and made us the most beautiful floral arrangements! I was so happy with my bouquet and our guests loved them too. So many people wanted to take some of the beautiful flowers home with them! I have already recommended Mountain Mama Florals to a friend who is getting married in the spring and I hope to be able use them for other events in the future.

Her makeup style is nothing short of stunning. I felt every bit a princess on my wedding day and my wedding party kept saying they get like they were “getting celebrity treatment”. Her makeup was natural but enhanced what I wanted so I felt glamorous but didn’t look cakey and her pre- makeup moisturizing routine is 10/10. I’ll use her services again.

Not only is the editing amazing, but it is also set to music. The movie is something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We also felt a little shy about being filmed and didn't know exactly what we wanted. We communicated by phone and email with Desmond, who listened to what we wanted. He and his team were true professionals, who made us feel comfortable on our wedding. There is so much going on and we deeply appreciated their experience and manor throughout the day.

We are a team of creative professionals who specialize in coordination, design and planning. We offer full, partial or month of wedding planning and design packages. We also do bridal showers, baby showers, birthdays, retirement or engagement parties. Our design team provides full and partial venue design and execution.

When it came time to plan our own wedding, we weren’t completely sold on the idea of a wedding planner, but our friends told us how we should consider it because of their experience with Create You Events. For them, Vicky and her team were able to assist with a lot of the burden of wedding planning and coordination and said their help was definitely worth the added cost. We remembered the positive first impression we had when we saw them in action at our friend's wedding and decided to have an introductory call. Vicky and her team were very flexible on the services and packages to meet our specific needs. We ultimately decided to have them help us with planning, design/decorations, and day of coordination. For planning, Vicky and the team showed their expertise in the wedding industry. For us, we weren’t as familiar with all the terminology and customs for weddings and Vicky was able to guide us through everything from the best way to talk to vendors and what to look for when touring our venue. She helped keep us on schedule in terms of what work needed to be done throughout the months leading up to the wedding date, and was great at motivating us throughout the process. She and her team stayed up late through the night to do planning calls with us, and were always available and responsive for any questions we had. The team members were so patient and understanding, and great sounding boards for every detailed decision, no matter how small. When my wife had minor decision fatigue melt-downs over whether or not to pay extra for chargers and colorful linens, or which exact flowers to include in the bouquets, Vicky and her team were there to talk through our thought process and help us get to a decision we felt comfortable with. We also had the Create You Events team help us with designing our wedding invites, menus, programs, and signage, which all came out beautifully. They really understood what we were looking for in terms of colors and styles and were able to just take some sample Pinterest pictures to be able to make amazing designs for us. As for the wedding day itself, we ran into many logistical issues with our venue and the (lack of) venue staff. Vicky and her team really stepped up to fill in multiple roles last minute, and make sure everything went smoothly for us. There were so many issues that we didn't even know about, and the Create You team handled them seamlessly. Looking back, we’re so glad we decided to spend the money to have the Create You Events team help us for our wedding. If you’re thinking about having a team help you out for an event, we highly recommend hiring Vicky and her team. Their support and guidance during our wedding planning process and during the wedding day itself were really indispensable.

Awarded Best of Zola
Serena is a true professional, and is committed to ensuring you are completely in love with your hair style. I had a very (very) difficult time deciding what hairstyle to go with for my wedding day, and she patiently helped me consider different styles that worked best for the weather, my dress, venue, etc. Furthermore, I have very thick 4c natural hair that she handled with great care- there was none of the damage that I typically experience after having my hair straightened. A little anecdote- so the day before my wedding, Serena had pre-styled my hair by straightening it and installing clip ins. She left me with VERY specific instructions on how to maintain and protect the style during the day as it was pouring outside. As I started to get ready for the rehearsal that evening, I realized that I hadn't followed the directions as closely as I should have and was left with a hair catastrophe. I called Serena and she offered to come to my hotel to fix it! That is an example of her commitment to her clients. The day of the wedding, she styled myself and my 9 bridesmaids, and not only did she do so on schedule, but she was honestly fun to have around while we were getting ready. My bridesmaids all remarked on how much they liked her. Our hair stayed looking gorgeous as we took pictures in the humidity and even as we danced all night. I would highly recommend TressArt by Serena's services! I can't wait to be styled by her again.

Hi, my name is Katrina! I have been coordinating weddings for almost over a decade now. I started doing weddings with my mother who was an event planner and designer at the time and fell in love with the process and being part of such a beautiful occasion. I work with clients directly from weeks to several months to help curate, design, execute making their dream come to fruition!

Planning our wedding was a complex undertaking, but thanks to Katrina at kdotstudios, the process remained organized and enjoyable even amidst personal difficulties. When a significant family loss occurred during the planning stages, our emotional state understandably impacted our engagement with the details. Fortunately, Katrina was more than just a coordinator; she became a pillar of support throughout entire wedding day. Her infectious enthusiasm and positive attitude brought much-needed cheer to the planning process. Katrina's expertise went beyond standard coordination, offering valuable suggestions and anticipating our needs even before we voiced them. Her quick thinking and problem-solving skills proved invaluable, especially when handling last-minute hiccups on the wedding day itself. One remarkable instance involved our sweetheart table décor. We hadn't planned anything specific, but Katrina transformed the space using leftover flowers and other available elements, creating a beautiful and personalized setting. This exemplifies her resourcefulness and dedication to exceeding expectations. Overall, Katrina's professionalism, unwavering support, and meticulous attention to detail ensured a flawless wedding day. She is the ideal choice for anyone seeking a coordinator who goes above and beyond, exceeding expectations and fostering a joyful and stress-free planning experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Katrina and kdotstudios to anyone seeking a truly unforgettable event.

Hi! I'm Andrew, nice to meet you. I originally studied Photography at Salisbury University before moving on to teach Ballroom dancing for 7 years. While working in the dance industry I got the chance to film various dance performances and events and many hopeful new couples preparing for their first dance. I also have a YouTube channel I run and do my own editing for. I really got immersed in that process and it felt relatively familiar because I was used to photo editing. Putting them both together was a no brainer at that point. And thus, Aprebs Video Creations was born! Reach out to me about filming for your wedding today!

Andrew is a professional. From beginning to end we felt confident in his ability to run the show. He became part of our "vendor" team a couple weeks from our wedding but he made us feel as if he was hired way back. No added stress with him (can I get an AMEN?!). He made space for us before and after the wedding for a few couples-questions and I think that was our favorite part of the whole thing. We have sweet, loving, cozy, and real footage of all the jitters before and all the joy and happiness after the wedding. WE WILL BE FOREVER THANKFUL TO THIS MAN. WE LOVE YOU ANDREW

As a wedding photographer by passion & an aerospace engineer by day, I bring a unique perspective to my photography. I am incredibly detail-oriented, hardworking, & I truly believe everyone deserves quality photos to look back on of special moments in their life. My goal is to deliver luxury, editorial images that capture the true essence of your love story. I approach each wedding with a fresh perspective, knowing that every couple is unique & deserves to have their story told in a way that is true to them. So count on me to take charge when needed & when I'm not - to keep on authentically & artfully documenting your day.

Jenn was absolutely incredible to work with. I felt SO lucky when I came across her work on social media - which was genuinely more beautiful than photographers charging 2x or more. I probably inquired with 10 photographers beforehand, but the moment I found Jenn, knew we'd choose her for her beautiful work. We loved our engagement photos, and she gave us (stunning) sneak peek wedding photos the day after our wedding! From her "detail" shots, teaching us how to pose (thanks!), scoping out the best spots for beautiful shots, creating a wedding day photography timeline for us - she was so professional, creative, and easy to communicate with. Also as a side note, she is an engineer and I don't know how she is blessed in equal measure with both left-brain precision and right-brain creativity. She also has some very cool options, like Super8 film, polaroids, etc. that we opted to add on - her work is timeless and beautiful and I can't recommend her highly enough. Jenn - thank you so much for capturing these moments for us to look back on!

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.

Chaya did our family photos. As you can imagine, it was chaos. We had 10 people in our home who came to meet our newborn. We wanted this special moment captured as this was the first grand baby. I remember sweating and running around like a chicken with it's head cut off, but the whole time, Chaya remained so calm and concise. She kept saying "don't worry about the pictures or what people are doing, that's my job." She took that added pressure right off of my shoulders.

Howerton+Wooten Events is a premier event management agency known for grace-filled, bespoke weddings. Our experienced team of event professionals believe in starting with the fundamentals, the essence and energy of our couples. We foster meaningful, deep connections that enable us to instinctively understand who our couples are, how they live and how they love. With that type of knowledge, we can create gorgeous wedding experiences that are vivid, personal expressions of our couples’ lifestyles, their love story, their taste and their personalities. We create weddings that our couples will cherish for a lifetime.

I’m not sure who is the bigger genius: the professionals at HowertonWooten, or ME for hiring them!! When my now-husband and I had our first call with Kawania, we knew immediately that we had found our team captain. Kawania radiates warmth, expertise, knowledge, and understanding and those values are reflected throughout the HW Events organization. Kawania created a bespoke package and experience that reflected our needs and our budget. She was a supportive and grounding force as she helped us design our wedding before another member of her team - LaShonda - took over to put everything into action. LaShonda was such a joy to work with. She made me feel heard, understood, and supported - even when my parents were trying to push for their own choices! - and made sure my husband and I were happy with each and every decision. I had an easy time trusting her and her ideas. Our wedding day was flawless thanks to LaShonda’s diligence, creativity, and leadership. Everything from the ceremony rehearsal to our last dance and send off was perfectly executed and easy. Our entire wedding party raved about LaShonda and her incredibly helpful schedule — a HUGE bonus for this Type A/control freak bride. I knew LaShonda had everything covered - even things I never thought of - so I was able to fully relax in the days leading up to the wedding and on wedding day. The only thing I had to worry about was getting dressed!! My only complaint is that our business together has concluded — I will miss Kawania, LaShonda, and the entire HW Events Team! I guess we’ll have to plan an anniversary party!! TLDR; Do not hesitate to hire this team. It will be the best and smartest decision you make.

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. ;)

Featured in national publications such as Martha Stewart Weddings, Washingtonian Weddings, Munaluchi Bride, B Collective Magazine, and more.

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!

I've really come to value the unexpected, intimate moments that take place on a wedding day. The hug your mom gives you before you leave your dressing room. The tear that falls down his cheek when he sees you walking down the aisle. The way the two of you lean your heads together during the toasts. This day is about more than the flowers and the shoes you chose. It's about celebrating the start of a new family. It's an honor to play a part in such a significant day and I hope you'll choose me to be a part of yours!

Working with Brigitte was a dream! Brigitte was so easy to work with, responsive and helped make my now-husband and I so comfortable through all the photos. Plus her sneak peeks arrived so quickly and the pictures thus far are amazing! Everyone has noted they look straight out of a magazine - just gorgeous! I strongly recommend Brigitte!

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.

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.

The stunning, classic styled banquet room is perfect for receptions. We could not have been more pleased with the location and the amenities provided. Even better than the facility are the wedding coordinators, Ashley and Juliette. They were both so helpful, from the very first meeting. Ashely was always prompt when responding to my many inquiries. Despite all of my questions, they both were kind and accommodating with everything. They did everything in their power to provide everything we requested to make our day perfect. Their day-of coordination was so needed. Juliette kept everything flowing smoothly throughout the day. I am so grateful that we found this venue, because it was the perfect choice for us. It was the first venue we looked at, and easily the best. I would recommend anyone to use the Westfields for their wedding! You won't be disappointed!
