“I found The Garden ALX here on Zola and was completely satisfied with our experience. We had a kid-friendly Sunday afternoon reception and the venue fit the bill perfectly. They had multiple packages to choose from and an hourly rate as well. We had a four hour reception and they threw in two hours of free setup and an hour to take down and clear up. They also have yard games and other add ons you can include. Mary was great to work with and helped with any questions along the way. The only advice I would give is to reach out to them directly instead of through Zola for a faster response initially. Given the high price tag if venues in the DC area The Garden is a great option if your wedding is under 100 guests and you are looking to have a more casual reception.”

Beauty professional

Starts at $500
Serves College Park, MD

A luxury beauty experience for the modern woman! My beauty philosophy is simple, "When you look good you feel good. When you feel good you do better".I started Nina Renee beauty because I believe that we all deserve to have the celebrity-style beauty experience of our dreams. As a high-end makeup artist servicing some of Washington DC's most prestigious residents for over eight years, I always found it hard to find my "Glam team".

“I am so glad that I chose Nina Renee Beauty for my wedding day. From the very beginning, Nina had so many ideas and was willing to answer all of my super specific questions. I am an admirer of makeup and hair, with little experience lol. I really just shared my vision with Nina and she let me know what I needed! They completely over delivered on quality of work and customer service!! I also highly recommend their hair extension rental. So easy and the extensions really amplified my hairstyle. By the way! My bridesmaids all felt that this was their favorite hair and makeup experience!”

Photographer
Classic style
Starts at $2,150
Serves College Park, MD

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!”

Carla Pressley - Hair Stylist & Makeup Artist

4.0

Beauty professional
Serves College Park, MD

I’m Carla Pressley and I do hair and makeup! I’m a mixed African American/Korean chick born the year of the DOG in July which makes me a fiercely loyal sentimental Cancer. I also talk to most dogs and have been the proud mother to two Jindo dogs. I laugh EXACTLY like my two brothers, TRY eating vegan most of the time, LOVE yoga, and tear up EVERY time dads see’s the bride for the first time.

“When I was looking for a hair and makeup artist, I wanted someone who I felt confident could help me decide the look for my wedding and come up with options for my naturally curly hair. However, I knew the deciding factor would be whether I felt confident that the artist could make every member of my bridal party that was diverse (in terms of race, disability, and LGBTQ) bridal party look and feel beautiful. Carla's portfolio showed me that she really lives her values of inclusion and I booked her with full confidence after our phone consultation the day after my inquiry. She gave me different options for the schedule for either just her or her and a team. I ended up going with the option of her and her team to not start so early and have a more efficient schedule. I was right to place my trust in her and the team she works with! I did a trial a couple weeks before my wedding, which I cannot recommend highly enough. It was definitely one of the most fun experiences of the entire wedding planning process! Carla spent a few hours with me trying different looks based on my inspiration photos and the vibe of my dress. I left so excited and knowing I had options I liked based on how I was feeling and the weather. On my wedding day she and her team were fantastic and executed flawlessly and made everyone comfortable on what was a hectic morning. My mother hadn't worn makeup since her wedding almost 40 years ago. My sister and maid of honor is also autistic with intellectual disabilities and had never worn makeup but wanted to be included (and look like a princess!) Carla and her team (special shoutout to makeup artist Mong!) were so patient and understanding and put them both at ease, which I appreciated so much. My other bridesmaids had a wonderful experience with makeup artist Nas as well. In terms of myself, I can say without question I've never felt more beautiful and glamorous but still myself than I did on my wedding day. Carla came with us to the church and fixed my veil that blew off during my first look and touched up everyone before we walked down the aisle. The look stayed the whole day and my hair held through the dip in our first dance into the after party. Going with Carla for hair and makeup was easily one of the best decisions I made in wedding planning and I cannot recommend her highly enough!”

“We were initially on the fence about hiring a mobile bar, but Pull Up Bar completely blew us away. They didn’t just serve drinks—they created an experience. The setup looked like something out of a styled magazine shoot and fit our modern industrial venue like it was built for it. What stood out most was how personal everything felt. They took the time to learn about us as a couple and recommended craft beers and cocktails that reflected our personalities. Our bartender remembered names and favorite drinks by mid-reception. Even my dad, who never drinks, asked for a second old fashioned! They were punctual, professional, and so much fun to work with. If you want a wedding bar that feels elevated but easygoing, this is it.”

Officiant

Serves College Park, MD

Father David is a wedding officiant based in the Washington metropolitan area. Father David is there to help curate the perfect ceremony that fits your vision and your faith, while offering a modern and authentic experience.

“My partner and I are a same-sex couple who both come from Catholic backgrounds. Although we decided to have a garden ceremony and not a church ceremony, it was important for our families to feel at home. Our initial ask of Fr. David was not to officiate our ceremony (because we had a courthouse ceremony also planned), but to deliver a homily. However, over time, my and my partner's plans expanded slightly to include other aspects of a traditional Catholic wedding (blessings for the parents and godparents, the cord ceremony, etc.). Fr. David was more than accommodating and so supportive throughout our journey. With his support and understanding, we felt very comfortable incorporating these aspects of tradition that mean so much to us and our families, while still making the ceremony uniquely our own. He is so gentle, encouraging, and warm, and strikes the perfect balance between signifying authority given the importance of the occasion, and providing commentary to elicit laughter. We feel very blessed for Fr. David to be a significant part of our special day!”

“Abby was a lovely addition to our wedding planning process and helped bring our vision to life. As someone who prefers to stay hands-on, I was initially hesitant to hand over control, but Abby made me feel more confident about letting her take the reins on the big day. She also assisted with our rehearsal for an additional fee, which was helpful and made everything run more smoothly. On the wedding day, Abby ensured that my partner and I didn’t have to stress about the little things. She was great at managing the details but remained approachable, coming to me with questions or clarifications when needed. When my partner and I started to feel overwhelmed and quite frankly, annoyed, by the constant chatter, the crowd, and the never-ending hugs, Abby was incredibly understanding. She reassured us that it was our day and that we were free to do whatever we needed to feel comfortable. Her calm and supportive words were exactly what we needed to refocus and enjoy the moment. Her familiarity with our venue, the Estate at Whitehall Vineyard, was a huge plus and helped everything flow seamlessly. Overall, Abby made the day easier for us, and I appreciated her calm and accommodating presence.”

“Kelton from Marquee Artists was amazing! He was a communicative and active participant in the planning of the music and the announcements at my wedding on March 9. Kelton provided an extensive list of potential songs to play in a shared Google Document with columns for “play” and “do not play” which was great. Also, I was impressed that he attended the walk through of the Whittemore House a month prior to the wedding, asking pertinent questions of the Whittemore staff about the placement of various things and how best to provide the sound amplification that would be needed. He provided wireless mics which worked really well for the toasts. Kelton did a great job as the master of ceremony and his mix of the selected music was fun and fabulous. He had the crowd dancing, rocking to the music. Many of the older folks told me that they hadn’t danced in years but were having lots of fun doing so then. Having him on our wedding team instilled so much confidence in me, my daughter and new son-in-law, who is an amateur DJ. They were so taken by Kelton that, if possible, they would like to attend future events at which Kelton is the DJ!! I HIGHLY recommend him.”
