“Selecting The Estate at River Run as our wedding venue was the single best decision we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. It wasn't just a venue; it felt like home and provided the perfect backdrop for one of the most important days of our lives. From our engagement photos to our rehearsal dinner and the wedding day itself, this stunning estate was a dream. We opted for the Friday early access package in addition to the overnight package, and it made all the difference. We got access to the Estate at 2pm on Friday and my bridesmaids and I were able to stay the night before, which transformed the wedding morning into a truly relaxing and joyous experience. We were able to handle all the final preparations on Friday, leaving Saturday morning completely stress-free. The true magic of this venue, however, lies with Kim and her team. They are, without a doubt, the best in the business. Their kindness, professionalism, incredible attention to detail, and seamless organization are unmatched. They truly think of everything, anticipating needs before you even realize you have them. Their guidance and support were a genuine blessing, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment. The venue itself is breathtaking, offering so many different and beautiful locations for all the various events. It is truly a place where memories are not just made, but treasured. We are so incredibly grateful to The Estate at River Run for hosting our special day. It was everything we could have ever wanted and more.”

He is fun, easy to talk to, upbeat, not to mention quite skilled at his craft too. I am almost always behind the camera and not in front of it, but I can tell that his personality and presence makes couples comfortable in front of the lens whether they're used to it or not, which is so incredibly valuable, your footage will always come out looking better if you are comfortable. Added bonus - he is tall, so he'll get those high angles that not everybody can manage to get, haha! I highly recommend him, no question”

“I cannot emphasize enough how happy I am with the photography services provided by Allyse and her husband Nick. We opted for 2-shooter photography rather than 1 photographer and 1 videographer for our budget, and the chemistry between the two of them made this seamless. When Allyse would focus on the more traditional shots, Nick captured more of the candid/artsy photos and wide-shots of us in the moment with our guests in the background. They were super friendly, and had a good balance of professionalism and chatty/casual conversation to get to know us and our wedding party. They had a great rapport between the two of them that allowed for us not to get too nervous when posing for pictures, because when they could sense a little bit of nerves, they would crack a joke or make us smile at exactly the right moments. And now that I’ve received our photo album back, I can see that they were able to capture those genuine laughs and smiles beautifully. I didn’t feel like any of our photos were overly staged or stiff because of this too; they created an environment where I felt natural in front of their lenses. They captured the events of our wedding day from many perspectives, and it’s given me so much joy to browse our photos and see how things looked from the guests’ views and what was going on when we were “busy” being the bride and groom. Allyse also recommended something I hadn’t thought of when we were planning what photos I wanted: a sneak-away moment as soon as our ceremony ended to get pictures of us after we’d just gotten married. The genuine happiness on our faces is so sweet to have captured forever in our photos, and it provided a little buffer period to really take in the events of our ceremony, have a moment to be just us, and mentally prepare to walk into our cocktail hour and start the party of the night! Our photos are absolutely stunning and I couldn’t be happier with their services. We received 1600 photos back about a month after our wedding day; great volume and turn-around time. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who is in need of wedding or professional photography. I had a hard time even picking "the best" pictures to include in this review as there are so many amazing photos to choose from :)”

From start to finish, Lelia was beyond amazing and played a huge role in making our wedding day at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts absolutely perfect. We chose the partial planning option with Forevermore and felt like we had more than enough meetings with Lelia in the year leading up to our wedding. What impressed us most was how seamlessly she handled everything behind the scenes. On our wedding day, there was an issue with one of our other vendors, and Lelia took care of it completely without ever bothering us. We didn't have to worry about a thing and were able to stay focused on celebrating with our family and friends. It wasn't until later that we learned just how much she had done to resolve the situation. Throughout the planning process, Lelia was organized, responsive, professional, and genuinely invested in making our vision come to life.

“I got married in May, and I truly cannot recommend Chanel at Simply Floral Design enough! From the very beginning, she was incredibly helpful, insightful, responsive, and timely throughout the entire planning process. She took the time to listen to my ideas, understood the vision I had for my wedding, and then elevated it beyond what I could have imagined. I got married at Stone Tower Winery, and the florals were truly the main decoration for our wedding. I intentionally kept the rest of the décor minimal because I had complete confidence that the flowers would make the space feel beautiful and they absolutely did. Every arrangement was stunning and perfectly complemented the venue. If you’re considering working with her, trust her vision.

Let’s just talk about it. You spend months (sometimes years) planning your wedding - the colors, the outfits, the chargers, every little detail.

We take time to get to know you, show up ready to celebrate with your people, and make sure the bar adds to the energy of the night - not takes away from it. Your wedding deserves that. Love y’all.

“I stumbled across Cheers on Instagram while planning our wedding, and it ended up being one of the best decisions we made. From our very first conversation with them, we knew we were in good hands. They were communicative, easy to work with, and genuinely excited to be part of our day, which made the whole planning process feel easy instead of stressful. We booked their bartending service with two batched cocktails. Then the more we saw the more we wanted to add on. We were so excited they were able to have the drink we had on our first date as one of our batched cocktails. Little touches like that made the day feel so personal. The champagne tower was stunning! It created such a fun and memorable moment that people are still talking about. Honesty I could go on and on! What really sets Cheers apart is the team themselves. They were warm, personable, and just plain fun to have around. That energy carried through our entire reception. Our guests had a blast from cocktail hour all the way to the last dance, and so much of that was thanks to Cheers. We honestly can't recommend them enough. If you want a bar service that brings incredible drinks and real heart to your wedding day, book Cheers!”

Hi, I'm David, a Virginia-based photographer. Unlike many photographers, my introduction to the art of photo taking initially started off purely by accident. I believe everything happens for a reason and I am very thankful to be in the position I am in today.

“We couldn't have asked for a better photographer than David. He was incredibly responsive throughout the entire planning process, making it easy to stay connected and share our vision with him. What really impressed us was how he took the time to understand the photography styles we loved and incorporated those into our wedding day shots. David captured all the candid moments that made our day special, and his creative eye combined with his professionalism made us feel confident we were in great hands. Working with him was a joy from start to finish, and the final photos exceeded our expectations. We'd recommend D.S. Photography to any couple looking for someone who truly cares about telling your story.”

“We had the most wonderful experience working with A Little Wedding Garden for our wedding. From our very first interaction, the staff was friendly, professional, and respectful. They went above and beyond to make sure our day was truly special. The area itself was absolutely beautiful, with lots of lovely floral decor that created a truly romantic atmosphere. Even though it was raining on our wedding day, they were so accommodating and let us come back another day to take photos in their gorgeous garden. They even gave me a couple of roses to take home as a sweet parting gift. I would highly recommend A Little Wedding Garden to any couple looking for a stunning, intimate wedding venue with incredible service.”

“We love the look and quality of their photos and the affordable price of the photo / video package. They were very quick with responding which is super helpful when you’re emailing a million people at a time during wedding planning and planning and prep with the Inman’s was easy and efficient. Our photos are BEAUTIFUL! They capture the charm of the venue, the joy from all our family and friends, and the love between my husband and I. We also received our photos SO quickly and got to browse through them on our honeymoon which was amazing. The Inmans were knowledgeable, professional, and created a very enjoyable experience. They’re young and hip and really understand what couples want from their wedding photos & videos these days. Wedding day was perfect! Not to mention Ashley was pregnant and still didn’t miss a beat all day!!”

“We are so lucky to have found Autumn's Custom Catering for our wedding! We found it was still cheaper to pay their travel fee to go from Richmond to Charlottesville than to find a local caterer and we so appreciate them making the long haul for us! Claudine and staff were friendly, informative, and responsive. The food was AMAZING and all of the catering staff went above and beyond to make our day special. They even helped put away decor and chairs at the end of the night while boxing up our leftovers (which we're still enjoying a week later!) We got so many compliments on both the food and the helpfulness of the catering crew and we cannot thank them enough!!”

About Thyme Events is a wedding planning company based in Central Virginia. Owner Elizabeth is a Virginia native who is passionate about planning weddings of all kinds, from intimate affairs to large celebrations. She'd love to help you plan your special day. About Thyme Events will meet with you in a consultation to help you determine which of their packages would suit you best. Elizabeth will get to know you and your vision in your consultation, before helping you design your perfect package. Whichever option you choose, About Thyme Events will let you relax and enjoy the planning process before delivering the wedding of your dreams.

“I am a type-a personality, so I'm no stranger to detailed planning, but I knew it would benefit us to hire a wedding planner. That said, we didn't know HOW much it would benefit us until we did! If you are thinking of working with Elizabeth, I highly encourage you to have a conversation with her and (better yet) HIRE HER! We worked with Elizabeth Langley from About Thyme Events over 2025 for our February 2026 wedding. We could not have asked for a more wonderful person to help with the planning and execution of our wedding. From the very beginning, Elizabeth was enthusiastic and warm but was also focused and realistic. She kept us grounded in our planning, with periodic check-ins to keep us on track. She was available for pop up questions via phone/email as we mused our options, always encouraging and thorough in her answers, yet mindful of our big picture budgetary constraints with vendors and the challenges of organizing a wedding with several international guests. She helped us focus on the pieces of the day that mattered to us and helped us see elements we could eliminate to enhance our guests' experience of the day. Elizabeth kept our planning on track and always offered excellent, practical advice ranging from design suggestions to trusted local vendors (and some we had not considered in the Richmond & Gordonsville areas - we're based in Charlottesville). At our final walk through at the venue, we got a full sense of how Elizabeth worked confidently with vendor partners - her communication was clear, the plan was solid, and the mutual trust was evident. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, our lives absolutely went into overdrive - a perfect storm of unforeseen high-stakes work deadlines divided our attention away from the planning. Elizabeth had taken over vendor communication by this point, and it was a huge weight off of our shoulders knowing she was focused on our big day and the little (and big!) things that needed tending. But we largely don't know what those pieces were, because she was handling them! With Elizabeth taking over our wedding-day logistics, we were able to focus on having the best night of our lives with friends and family. On the day, she met our needs so well - giving us (bride & groom) breaks when we didn't know we needed them, helping orchestrate vendors and guests through the timeline, and moving decor in our multi-level venue. But through it all, Elizabeth was not just a vendor helping us out. She was a friend who celebrated with us, and having her at our wedding was an incredible privilege. If you work with Elizabeth for your wedding, you will have someone who is highly competent, energetic, and organized. But you will also have someone who will share the joy of your wedding with you and will elevate the day as only a friend can. -Elly & Achintya”

“We can't say enough about our experience with Deep Run Roadhouse. From our first planning call, the team was attentive and made every detail feel simple and stress-free. They went way beyond catering — they set up our tables, kept water glasses filled, and even helped our bartender with ice throughout the night. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how delicious the food was, and honestly, we felt the same way. The whole crew treated our wedding like it was their own, and we felt truly taken care of every step of the way. We'd recommend Deep Run Roadhouse to anyone looking for a caterer that actually cares.”
