Awarded Best of Zola
We’re so glad we hired Sweet Greene for our July wedding! We loved the flavor options (we went with lemon raspberry and pineapple coconut) and the quality certainly held up from the tasting to the finished product. Cheryl was super helpful in guiding and executing our design, and even did several phone consultations with us to confirm logistics and talk through the design process. Our cake was beautiful and delicious! And very reasonably priced for the area, especially with the excellent customer service and delivery and set up included. Definitely recommend!

My husband and I are still on cloud 9 from our March 2024 wedding and that is in big part because of Homayra and her team at Tilbury Floral Design. From the beginning, we just clicked with Homayra because of her down-to-earth, caring, enthusiastic, and passionate spirit. Our virtual meetings with her prior to our wedding along with her quick communication and her proposals that included rich visuals, descriptions of each arrangement, pricing options, etc. helped us feel comfortable and confident in her hands. Our vision for our wedding was an all-white Cinderella fairytale and she delivered BEYOND what we envisioned! When we walked into our venues, from the church to the cocktail hour to the reception, with all the floral and candle details and decor, the ambience felt dreamy, romantic, elegant, and magical; it took our breath and - that of our guests - completely away, in the best way possible! We are forever grateful to have crossed paths with Homayra! To take a peek into our fairytale, go onto her website, where some of our beautiful wedding photos can be found under Gallery - Angelica and Thierry.

Bianca is incredibly talented and just the best! She did the makeup for my May 2024 Indian fusion wedding (both for my wedding day and my Sangeet), and I could not have felt more beautiful. Something that was incredibly important to me when deciding on a MUA was finding an artist that is well experienced with a variety of skin tones. Bianca absolutely killed it while doing a variety of different looks. Leading up to my wedding, I went to Bianca for a few facials. The actual experience of the facial was so relaxing, and my skin was so hydrated and glowing leading up to my wedding. After my wedding, I also asked Bianca if she could do a makeup class for me. She had made me feel truly so beautiful (but still like myself). The class made makeup approachable for someone who has very limited makeup experience. She was SO thorough afterwards in all the materials she sent me with instructions and products listed to be able to recreate the looks we went over. I cannot recommend Bianca enough for all of her services!!

A Virginia native, I’ve been surrounded by nature my entire life, but never more so than when I spent summers on my Grandmother’s 300-acre farm in West Virginia. She raised me to appreciate nature’s beauty and explore what I could create myself. My Grandmother was a powerful woman, raising two babies after having been recently widowed, while also pioneering the farm and putting herself through law school. It is after her that I named my business Mountain Mama Florals. With every event and every client, I strive to provide the level of attention, appreciation, and creativity that she taught me to value.

We can’t say enough good things about Andrea Green Events! We hired Andrea about 6 months before our small-ish April 2025 wedding, and at that point all we had was the venue and catering booked. She jumped right in, was super organized and professional, and really listened to our vision. She has an amazing professional network and helped us to secure vendors that were right for us, and made the whole process feel manageable and fun. And she saved us some money without sacrificing what was important to us! On the actual wedding day it rained, and though we hoped it would stop, we had to switch the ceremony indoors at the last minute. Andrea handled it like a total pro—coordinating with all the vendors and keeping our families calm and where they were supposed to be—so we didn’t have to stress about a thing. The day turned out absolutely beautiful, even better than we imagined, and we know that’s because of her. We ended up with a break in the rain immediately after the ceremony and guests were able to enjoy the beautiful weather and scenery overlooking the water during the reception. We couldnt stop raving about how beautiful it all was, and our guests had a wonderful time. We didnt even know about minor hiccups with guests and vendors until weeks later because she made sure it was all handled. We truly couldn’t have done it without Andrea. If you’re thinking about hiring her, don’t hesitate, you’ll be so glad you did!

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.

I highly HIGHLY recommend Asa! He and his colleague photographed our December '24 wedding and they did an AMAZING job. Asa has such a calming presence and on such a chaotic and stressful day it was so, so needed. He was so wonderful to work with in the planning and helped us make a thoughtful plan to ensure we got all of the photos we wanted. We had a traditional Catholic mass and he and his colleague were able to easily follow all of the Church's rules while capturing the essential moments flawlessly. We got every photo we wanted during the mass which was incredibly impressive. We also got shots at sunset by the water and Asa perfectly captured our vision! These are some of our favorite photos. He also captured all of the energy and fun that we had and we walked away with multiple photos of every single one of our guests which was such a treat. Lastly - his pricing is so fair and really competitive to all the photographers we got quotes from. He was easily able to work with our budget and was flexible to our specific needs. Overall - I would HIGHLY highly recommend Asa!

My love for photography first started in a high school darkroom, but it took several years and life experiences before I took this love to a professional level. After losing a parent a few years before my own wedding, my desire to capture special moments became not only a passion but a necessity. I discovered a newfound sense of presence and purpose, as well as a desire to bring back that childlike joy that so many of us lose in adulthood. As your photographer, you can count on an experience and photos filled with intention, joy, play, and warmth. I can't wait to photograph your story beautifully.

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!

White Fox Floral Design was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, their communication was clear, fast, and incredibly friendly. McKenzie made the entire process seamless. Her communication was perfect, she arrived on time to set everything up quickly, and the end result was truly stunning. All of our guests were raving about the beautiful floral arrangements and were fighting to take them home at the end of the night! The quality of her work was amazing and worth every penny.

Here at Windows Catering Company, we know that planning your dream wedding can seem quite overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. It just takes a planning partner who will listen carefully and ensure that your distinct vision is reflected in every detail. Whether your ideal affair is an opulent seated dinner or a coastal buffet served al fresco, we will do all the work to make it your personal expression. Since 1987 we have been creating wonderful weddings in Washington, D.C., Virginia and Maryland.

It was such a pleasure working with Debbie and her team at Windows. They did an amazing job catering our wedding of about 110 people. From the very beginning of the process Debbie was thoughtful, professional, and brought so much attention to detail in our planning. The tasting was fun and allowed us an opportunity to pick and choose what would work best for day of. I also appreciated Debbie’s input when it came to the menu. We had several guests with food allergies and dietary restrictions and windows were able to accommodate all of them. Knowing we not be working with a florist, Windows provided our center pieces. Beautiful white flowers and greenery surrounding three candle holders of different heights. A beautiful touch that helped bring the space together. When it came to day of planning, Debbie was able to help with managing a smooth timeline and ensure all the food was prepared and ready tasting its absolute best. We’ve received tons of compliments on how delicious the food was from our guests. The short rib melted in your mouth and the Halibut was cooked to perfection and served to guests quickly not compromising its quality. For our vegan friends they noted the cauliflower steak was one of the best dishes they’ve had at a wedding. All in all we cannot recommend Windows enough! There are usually two ways people remember wedding food and we feel so lucky that guests walked away full and raving about how good ours was!
