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
Jamie was one of our favorite vendors to work with! He was professional, kind, thoughtful, and never made me feel like my questions or requests were too much. We worked so well together, and I had so much fun collaborating with him on music decisions and making amazing playlists for every part of the wedding. He even helped with special requests, such as altering some of the music we were going to use and make them appropriate for certain parts of our wedding. During the wedding, he was one of the only vendors I didn't have to worry about. I cannot recommend DJ Casanova enough!

Makeup by Kiley Smith

Fairfax, VA

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.

When my clients choose Kiley as their makeup artist, I know photographing them will be a dream! Kiley delivers on beautiful, natural, romantic makeup that looks stunning on camera.

Amaka and her team took over like we wanted and literally covered everything. The best part was how they helped us save tons of money on our wedding. Don't be hesitant in booking. Book them with confidence and I promise you will not be disappointed. Everything about your wedding will scream luxury and will be well organized. The price you pay is well worth it Somehow they found a way to even get my husband involved in the planning process because Amaka made it a fun process. She also gave us a planning book to help keep track and our own personalized google sheet that literally had everything including our guest list and how everyone would be seated. Amaka was always available when needed and if she wasn't, she delegated someone else. My husband and I loved attending vendor visits with her and she would always offer to treat us to lunch/dinner whenever we had appts. They went ABOVE and BEYOND to make sure the wedding was blissful. I recommended her to a friend who has a destination wedding next year and they are already in love. A planning company that knows what they're doing, very honest with you rather than telling you what you want to hear and extremely resourceful. We also got to save on decor because they provided rentals since we booked the full service planning and Amaka with giving us tips on how to save on decor. We wanted them to actually do the decor :-( but they couldn't at that time and was honest about it. However, I am excited about ariscreationz doing the decor for my friend's wedding.

From the bouquets to the centerpieces and installations, Hailey’s use of bold color and stunning shapes in her designs was so modern and on-trend! It’s hard to find florists that will venture outside of the traditional “broccoli” bouquet shape and do it well at that, but Hailey delivers. I will definitely be recommending her to my own clients!

We cannot say enough good things about Amanda. From start to finish she was incredible - she was easy to communicate with and really brought our vision to life. Even better, the cake and cupcakes were DELICIOUS!! We asked that she incorporate flowers in the design and she even recommended a floral design studio since we hadn’t selected our floral vendor. We went with her recommendation and are so happy we did! We couldn’t be happier and look forward to working with Amanda in the future :)

I’m so happy I got the chance to work with Michelle as my month-of and day-of coordinator for my August 2023 wedding. By the time we started working together a few weeks out from the big day, I was so tired and burnt out from planning and needed the help and support that she expertly provided. She came in hot with lists, templates, spreadsheets, recommendations, everything I could’ve hoped for to support me through the rest of the prep process. Most importantly, she made sure that everything that needed to happen was done correctly, on time, and in the way we needed. She was ON FIRE on the day of the wedding. Michelle was in the zone- creating beautiful centerpieces, coordinating each step of the event, and problem solving before I even realized there was something to be done. Thank you so much, Michelle. You helped make my wedding day absolutely perfect!

I love how exciting and creative wedding photography can be while also giving me the opportunity to create something that is so meaningful to others. I got started with photography back in Michigan as a kid with my mom's old Minolta SLR. It wasn't until years later at art school in Kansas City that I realized how fulfilling and exciting wedding photography could be. It has been my focus ever since.

As a DJ I work with many different photographers, yet there are a only a few who stick out as being great at what they do, Asa is one of them! He's super attentive to the details and also pays attention to the big picture which is very helpful at an event as dynamic as a wedding. You know someone is experienced when they show up early, relaxed and with a smile on their face, all signs of a true professional. As for his photos, well they are simply awesome!

I cannot recommend Christy and her team enough. She was communicative, receptive and accommodating from the start. I wound up changing my look twice and she could not have been nicer about it. 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.

Choose from our fully inclusive wedding packages or request a custom menu and designer touches to best fit your vision. In addition to our delicious and unique cuisine, our team can also assist you with vendor referrals, rentals, linens, place settings, beverages and event event coordination.

Working with Genesis for our wedding was seamless. Dianna was very kind, organized, and went above and beyond to assist us in our catering needs. Genesis also provided mirror rounds and vases for our centerpieces. Dianna suggested the most popular menu items and helped with other decisions. She was well acquainted with our venue, which was very valuable. The food was as expected for wedding fare at this price point, and guests had positive reviews on the bartenders and appetizers. We picked Genesis because they were the lowest cost approved vendor for Top of the Town and felt like we got a great value. They let us bring in our own alcohol and provided great bar service (staff and mixers) at a reasonable price. There was never a line at the bar. Everything went smoothly on the wedding day, that we know of, and we’d recommend Genesis for someone looking at a caterer in this budget!

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.

Working with Serena was AMAZING! While I received vendor recommendations for many aspects of my wedding, I specifically asked my planner about Serena after coming across a few pictures of her former clients. From our very first trial she proved open to creating the look I envisioned with the least amount of fuss. Because my mom was so nervous given her own hair insecurities, Serena’s MOB hair trial was able to put my mom’s heart at ease knowing she’d look perfect the day of our wedding too. But honestly, THE MOST IMPRESSIVE part of this all, Serena styled all NINE ladies in my party (both moms included) by herself morning of our wedding. We were on time, not rushed, did not start at the crack of dawn, everyone looked amazing! And as we look at our wedding photos, EVERYONE comments on how flawless my hair looked even as we walked out the door at the end of the night! Trust me....this is your vendor!

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!

From the beginning when we had our first phone call with Andrew to go over our ideas and thoughts, we knew we were in good hands. He was so communicative and positive. We both felt very comfortable working with him. The day of our wedding he was thoughtful, kind, and did not make it feel awkward at all. My now husband is not big on being on camera, but Andrew was able to get all the shots we wanted, and we had such a great time having him around, it was like having a friend taking our video vs someone we found online and hired. He was so helpful and even asked moms if they were doing okay or needed anything. It really meant a lot to us to not only get the best video of our wedding that we could have asked for, but to feel so comfortable while everything was being caught on film. Thanks so much Andrew!

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $500

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.

Georgette took our engagement portraits in DC at sunrise and they are absolutely stunning images! Georgette’s energy and excitement about her work is truly infectious, and she made our shoot so enjoyable! We laughed the whole time and had so much FUN. Georgette did an awesome job of helping us find natural poses that photographed really well, while also embracing any spontaneous moments during the shoot (we love a jumping shot!) She captured our personalities so well. The images are absolutely stunning and bring back warm memories of our amazing experience capturing our engagement photos. :)

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.

I can't recommend Cicely and Jason enough. They were communicative, collaborative, and just genuinely great people. They were really open to trying out anything that we really wanted to do and brought plenty of experience and helpful ideas to the table from the start. Their ability to capture the tiny details and a much broader sweeping view of our day really was the sell for us. And they weren't afraid to really get into the middle of a rager and capture moments you'd have never known about otherwise. Photography is so embedded in capturing your day that having creative people you really enjoy working with is critical. Years later, Cicely and I still message each other to check in. I genuinely can't express how great getting to know and work with them was for us. Cheers.

She stayed after we were done with hair to make sure my hair stayed in place, and she captured so many wonderful photos and memories from first look, to photos with my bridesmaids that I was able to look at the day after the wedding and reminisce. The bridesmaids/ mother of the brides hair also looked amazing, and everyone was so happy with it. You can tell she is very passionate about her job and making brides happy.

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!

The Westfields Golf Club is a gorgeous venue with a picturesque golf course backdrop. The outdoor pavilion is a beautiful setting for a ceremony. 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!

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.

As a wedding planner, I've had the pleasure of working with a myriad of photographers, and Jenn certainly stands out. Jenn's professionalism and communication skills are top-notch, making the collaboration process seamless and stress-free. She is highly responsive, consistently keeping me in the loop, which is extremely important to the running of a smooth event. The wedding we worked on together required a high-degree of flexibility, and Jenn was not only capable of handling last-minute changes, but she did so with grace and a positive attitude. And all this before we've even discussed her work. Jenn's photos were beautiful, elevated, and did a great service to every design vendor who participated. She turned around sneak peeks quickly, and even provided the venue with some footage for them to use in their marketing. Highly recommend Jenn for any couple looking for film-quality photos delivered with positivity and professionalism.

J. Sasu Photography is a lively wedding photography service located in Bethesda, Maryland that services the Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C. area. J. is dedicated to capturing the fearless love between two people on their biggest day.

J. is a professional and was so easy to work with. He reached out when we needed to have meetings and I wasn’t worried or stressed. Sends you all the documents you need to start thinking about photos early. On the day of, he truly knows how to capture your good side, sets you up with great poses. Finds the best backdrop and is truly spectacular. I did the package of 10 hours and had a second photographer and I am so happy I did. It included the engagement session. My favorite thing about J is that he gives a little preview of your photos right after. So you aren’t waiting the 4-6 weeks when you get the whole album. Our engagement photos arrived so quickly and I couldn’t have been happier!
