They are beautiful and she captured the night perfectly. You can just feel the love and fun through her photos and whenever I look at them, they put me right back to that night.

Because of the size of our wedding (185 guests), we didn't have a ton of options to look into. We loved the vibe of ACV so we went with it, but once we got going with putting it all together we were blown away. Throughout the entire process they were helpful, informative and receptive to what we wanted on the day. And the day of could not have been better, and we received plenty of compliments on the venue and everything around our day!

Allyse was amazing, to say the least. My husband and I got married on July 4th and wanted to incorporate fireworks into our event somehow. Our venue wouldn’t allow it for safety reasons(understandable) so we talked to Allyse and decided to do a first look a few nights before with fireworks. The photos from the first look were amazing! We started during daylight and they captured everything perfectly. But let me tell you, the way the photos with the fireworks came out was STUNNING!!! Only a true professional could have done what they did! Allyse and her husband did a fantastic job snapping everything moment of our wedding and catching some of the sweetest memories that I can cherish forever- including my 80 year old grandmother holding my 3 month old son! The look of love on her face was so candid and sweet. I’ve had numerous guests tell me later that my photographers were “awesome, fun and so amazing, how did you find them?” And that really sums them up, they were so awesome and the most fun! They didn’t even have to tell you to smile because you were already laughing and having a good time! We are so grateful for their work and highly recommend them!

Let’s just talk about it. You spend months (sometimes years) planning your wedding - the colors, the outfits, the chargers, every little detail. But the place people gather, meet, and spend the most time? The bar. And somehow that’s the part people overlook. A great bartender sets the tone for the whole night. At Cheers, we actually care. 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.

We used Cheers Mobile Bartending LLC for our pre-wedding event on November 7th and were elated with our experience. From our first communication, Katie was personable and extremely flexible with bringing our event together. Working with her team was an easy process as was purchasing for the event. She also helped take the stress out of planning this event and injected fun into it with the range of personalized cocktails available for the event. We selected an apple cider margarita that was a perfect choice for early November and a huge hit with our guests. Overall, we would easily recommend Cheers Mobile Bartending!

When Annie and I booked him, we had full intentions to have him do our wedding. We put down the deposit, and then things went sideways financially. We unfortunately had to go back to him and cancel. My fiancé was devastated, so I reached out to him, and asked if he could do a quick hour shoot, like an engagement session. He was very quick to reply, and get us on the schedule. He was so kind and understanding, I truly wish we could have him for our wedding, but I am grateful he was willing to work with us. I know my wife-to-be and I are going to cherish those pictures forever.

From the very first planning conversation to the final moments of the wedding reception, everything was handled with professionalism, grace, and genuine care. The setting itself is beautiful--the water views, the light pouring through the windows, the way the space feels both elegant and welcoming at the same time. It creates instant magic before you even add flowers or décor. But what truly sets this venue apart is the team. Kristan Hughes is exceptional. She is calm under pressure, incredibly organized, and deeply invested in making sure every detail is executed flawlessly. Her communication was clear, her guidance was thoughtful, and her presence on the wedding day allowed everyone (especially the bride and groom) to relax and be fully present.

Joseph and Rob of Riverwood Designs are the best in the business. I booked Riverwood Designs for my May 2024 wedding, at The Maine of Williamsburg, for bridal party flowers and floral table arrangements, as well as a Day-Of Coordination package. Booking Joseph and Rob was one of the best decisions I made during my 2-year long wedding planning process. Joseph was a life-savior during the planning process, keeping me calm and confident that my day would be nothing but perfect. And it was exactly that. On the day of my wedding, Joseph and Rob arrived promptly and delivered the most BEAUTIFUL flowers. I am so glad that I chose to go with real flowers, as opposed to wood or silk flowers. The arrangements looked and smelled amazing. The proposal that we had worked on prior to the day of in no way did the actual flowers justice. They were even more amazing than I could have ever imagined. For the florals, we chose to include the orange flowers in only the bridal bouquet. Also including this same orange flower on only the groom’s boutonnière. This was the perfect way for me and my groom to feel special and different from the rest of our bridal party.

The word my wife and I keep using to describe our wedding day was magical. Dover Hall is one of a kind. It exceeded our every expectation. It is so beautiful and immaculately maintained. The team worked so hard both prior to and on our wedding day to make sure every last detail is perfect. While they have multiple weddings every weekend, they make you feel special and prioritized in every thoughtful decision made. The staff are truly professionals, our guests, families, and ourselves loved interacting with them and they were always so pleasant, helpful, and charismatic. The food was absolutely incredible as well and our guests are still talking about it. From the marketing team to the on-site coordinators to the day of staff, every single person we worked with was friendly, accommodating, professional, and wonderful. Looking back on our wedding day, there isn't a single thing we would change and we can't recommend Dover Hall enough!

Armando with DeMarchi Productions is an absolute dream to work with! Armando is very good at communicating and I'm really OCD about this - so that's a huge compliment;) Armando always creates magic, working with him truly is seamless and a dream. He's so kind and truly brings a calming presence to a somewhat chaotic day. Armando is always ready to jump in and help with the details, he's also always aware of the light and best places for GORGEOUS footage. I work with a lot of videographers, but there are very few that I highly recommend that will give you an exceptional experience - Armando is one of them. He has the sweetest (& biggest) heart and truly loves what he does - which is evident in his work and interaction with couples. When it comes to choosing your dream team, you'd be crazy not to have him as part of it!

I'm a dreamer, a maker, a memory curator with a love for the written word. I have a master's in laughter, and am a world renown mess maker. I’m a wannabe world changer, a devoted pray-er, and an avid forgiver. I’m a barefoot kitchen dancer, a hammock reader and sun seeker, an accident-prone adventurer... and hopefully, when I look back, a professional life-rider and full-fledged compassion giver.

I can't say enough good things about Jessica and Fleurish & Bloom! Throughout the entire planning process she was organized, detailed, communicative, and super knowledgeable about how to bring my floral vision to life. She was flexible with changes I wanted to make and had great ideas for how to incorporate all of the colors and flowers I wanted to include in my bouquets AND helped me get the most out of my floral budget. On my wedding day she greeted me with my GORGEOUS bouquet and her kind, calm demeanor. The florals at my ceremony site were exactly as we discussed, if not better, and she even made sure to add a few extra flower to the signs, which made everything look very cohesive. She repurposed all the ceremony flowers to my reception space without compromising quality, and again did a fantastic job executing my vision for our table flowers and candles. I have had SO many people remark on how stunning the florals were, and I have to completely agree. I couldn't have imagined better!

Our first experience with LFB was in November 2023 for a friend’s wedding. My boyfriend and I at the time had started talking about the next step and how perfect this location was for a wedding. We ended up reaching out to Duncan in February 2024 to ask for a tour. Duncan gave us the full tour including the on property guest house, and we were SOLD! We signed our contract and paid the deposit that weekend. Duncan and Suzanne are so wonderful to work with too! They work with you on breaking down payments for when things are due and respond within 24 hours. As we got closer to our wedding date Duncan let us come out and tour everything again and answered all of my last minute questions. Suzanne was amazing at communicating day of lists and clean up. During our set up on Friday, Duncan came over to make sure the AC was good and if we needed anything. They had the tables and chairs closet unlocked and ready for us to set up when we got there. They give you a 4 hour window for rehearsal time but are very willing to work with you if you need more. The day of our wedding they had onsite staff to help with any issues and make sure everything went smooth on their end. Duncan personally came over after our ceremony and congratulated us and joined our celebration for some pictures. If you want a nice quiet spacious venue with amazing views, perfect golden hour picture spots, and awesome owners this is your place! All of our wedding guests raved about how perfect the barn is and how beautiful the natural wood work looks. Thank you Duncan and Suzanne for being part of our day! The Dances 11/8/2025

Stephanie was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. On our wedding day, she was calm, friendly, and on top of it. She and her second photographer struck the perfect balance of being professional and efficient while also feeling like casual friends, which made the entire experience feel natural and fun. My husband and I felt totally comfortable with her guidance and direction during photos, and she made the whole process so easy, even with unpredictable weather and changing light. She adapted quickly and found the perfect locations around our venue to make sure we got the best possible shots. We were so excited to receive sneak peeks shortly after the wedding, and the photos were absolutely stunning. The quality was flawless and just captured the beauty of our day. She also did our engagement session, and those remain some of our favorite photos ever (other than the wedding, of course). If you’re getting married in Virginia, I cannot recommend Stephanie Jenkins and her team enough. She captured our day perfectly, and we’re so grateful to have these memories to look back on forever.
