I’ve been published in Vogue and flown around the world for high-end weddings — but I’ve opened a handful of 2025–2026 dates at this rare Zola-only rate. While most of my clients commission me privately at $15K+, I occasionally offer reduced-rate openings here for couples who truly connect with the work but may not have the full luxury budget. If that’s you, I’m glad you found me now. Caz

After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date. From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.

Daryle (DJ D Mac) created the exact vibe we were craving for our wedding. After multiple postponements due to COVID, our guests were ready to dance and celebrate like never before. We asked Daryle to create a dance-club-like atmosphere where everyone could let loose—and he absolutely delivered. Every time we asked our guests what they thought of the wedding, they raved about how incredibly fun the dance floor was. From start to finish, Daryle was organized, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. His deep understanding of mixing music and his uncanny ability to read the room and adjust to the energy were particularly impressive. We also had a few unique requests, like including a drag queen lip sync performance. Daryle coordinated seamlessly with our performer, making it a highlight of the night. He also went above and beyond to ensure our first dances were perfectly timed and elegantly handled. If you’re looking for a DJ who will elevate your event, we couldn’t recommend DJ D Mac more highly. He made our wedding unforgettable, and we’re so grateful for his talent and professionalism.

I’m Marielys (Mari), founder of Elle Events. I plan and design vibrant, elegant, and inclusive weddings in DC and beyond, always with a focus on meaningful details and guest-centered experiences. From full-service planning to wedding day management (aka day-of coordination), I offer expert guidance, clear communication, and a creative eye to bring your vision to life. As a native Spanish speaker and lover of culture, I specialize in celebrations that reflect your story and honor what matters most.

Mari is IT. My husband and I met with a handful of coordinators who all seemed qualified and capable, but none that seemed to vibe with our energy UNTIL we met Mari! Right away she was calming and tuned in and warm. She felt like someone we would hang out with but then make that person an organizational wizard.As first time wedders, who had never imagined a specific wedding day aesthetic or theme, we would frequently worry this whole thing might not come together. But IT DID under Mari's expert guidance! And not only was it a big success (imo) she also never made us feel dumb or wrong or like bad engaged people for breaking tradition or for asking if we need Welcome signs. Mari was very good about holding us to our deadlines but not hounding us. When we felt like we were months behind she assured us we were in a good place.And then the day of the wedding, Mari and Anjeanette, were like the 1992 US Men's Olympic basketball team! Just two pros moving seamlessly, never missing. If we had a question, they had the answer before we asked. I always wondered how weddings happen without the bride and groom being pulled in every direction. Elle Events is how.

We chose bright colors for our summer wedding and didn't want them to look muted from editing. Ashley ensured us she captures "real life" and boy, did she deliver!! The colors pop and look stunning. We were so comfortable with Ashley & Michelle all day, and they really listened to what we wanted. They helped create a timeline for the day along with must take photos and kept everything moving & organized.

From the moment I got on that first phone call with Anna, I knew she'd be our day-of wedding coordinator. Anna Holowinsky isn't just in the wedding business... she's in the business of making each of her clients feel heard, understood, and cared for. It is so evident that everything she does comes from a place of love. On the phone with Anna, there were so many times where I thought to myself, "Wow, it's just like talking to an old friend!" She's hilarious, down-to-earth, and just an incredible human to work with. Anna took the stress out of wedding planning for us and instead, made it so that we could focus on all of the day's celebrations. I'm also just so inspired by Anna and the "why" behind her entrepreneurship. As someone who values family and relationships more than just about anything, it is beyond refreshing to see that in another person. From making our venue look like something out of a fairytale, to calming me down moments before the ceremony by guiding me through grounding breathing exercises, Anna took care of it all... and took care of me, too! We are forever grateful we booked Penderview Events for our wedding day and will recommend Anna and the team to everyone looking for an honest, enjoyable, and fruitful wedding coordination experience. Look no further -- she's the best. Thank you, Anna!

CJ Curtis was an awesome DJ! He met with us a few weeks before the wedding, took all of our song preferences into account, and offered great suggestions to help the reception timeline flow smoothly. He was friendly, easy to work with, and kept the dance floor going all night, we had an absolute blast. CJ was also very reasonably priced and delivered an unforgettable, fun-filled evening. We’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great wedding DJ!

Dj Dez from Picture Perfect Muzic did amazing for both our wedding ceremony and reception. From the start of the planning process to the end of the wedding he was great. Wish we would’ve had a little more time during our reception because he had everyone up and dancing. Couldn’t have had a better Dj.
