We are able offer boutique-style service because we are a REAL band - with world-class musicians who've played hundreds of gigs together and are great friends!

Awarded Best of Zola
The Love Revival Orchestra was truly an enormous highlight of our wedding day! The band played for our cocktail hour with a talented Jazz Trio, a parade to get our guests into the reception (so cool and lots of kudos from the guests!!), and an outstanding reception performance. There was not one moment that the dance floor was empty and they truly brought the best energy and talent. Music was one of our biggest priorities for the wedding day and our expectations were blown away. David was very collaborative, helping us to plan the perfect set list and answering all of our questions leading up to the day. We were also so appreciative that the band was able to not only learn but perform incredible renditions of our first dance song, and themes from Vanderpump and Star Wars (truly amazing live!). The Love Revival Orchestra is a truly incredibly talented band that played everything from The Beatles to The Cranberries to Taylor Swift and so much more. We are so grateful for everything and have the highest recommendation for Love Revival Orchestra.

Remixologists

  • DJ
  • Serves Essex, MD

From DJing college house parties to packed clubs to music festivals, I've experienced the thrills of creating EPIC events through music. Weddings should be no different, but it requires a personal touch that brings out the stylistic uniqueness of each couple. I still remember having my own epic wedding dance party with my friends & family 10 years ago, and my goal is to give our couples the same! Remixologists is our team of talented like-minded DJs who share the client-focus & music versatility that I believe make the difference between having a good wedding and an AMAZING ONE for the ages!

The Party Can't Stop Won't Stop! I need to think of an excuse to gather friends and family together just so that I can have DJ Taiga spin again. Simon was incredibly responsive from the get go and organized – he had a special spreadsheet and website to organize the various aspects of the day and when/if music will be needed). And that’s just who he is from a business standpoint. In terms of his abilities as a DJ, let’s just say the dance floor was packed all night and people were disappointed the night had to end. He even got my dad to dance; it was literally the first time in my life I’ve seen my dad dance. SIMON’S THAT GOOD. I gave him a list of songs/genres and he took those inspirations to create a dance mix that was, as the youths call it, LIT AF.

I studied Liberal Arts in Spain and my first love was painting, especially painters like Velazquez and Norman Rockwell. I love capturing happiness, elegance and humanity in it's various forms. I have five children of my own and quite a few of my nearly 20 international photography awards are of children, whether at weddings or of my own kids.

Matt Kolf - Photography was the absolute best choice for our wedding day. From the very first interaction, their communication was quick, thorough, and client-centered. Matt and his team were kind, attentive, and always available to answer our questions and ensure we felt supported throughout the entire process. Their work was truly flawless - the photos are beautiful, creative, and professional, capturing every emotion and moment in its most raw and artistic form, but beautified. The colors, lighting, and feeling evoked in every photo are a dream come true. If you want a wedding album that captures the most candid, real moments of your day with the most creative and artistic lens, book Matt. Matt had a unique ability to be present and immersed in our day without ever feeling intrusive. He allowed us to direct the shots we wanted, but also knew exactly what to capture on his own. We didn't feel like our day was dominated by photo taking, but we know every important moment was beautifully documented, which is the perfect combination.

We have not stopped looking at each photo in awe, with every guest telling us how perfectly he captured the day. On top of all that, he is KIND, fun, caring, and extremely reliable. He truly goes above and beyond in being both a pleasure to be around and a flawless wedding vendor. He thinks of everything, and is extremely responsive throughout the whole process.

I live for documenting the connections between people—the genuine, unscripted, deeply human moments that tell a real story. I’m a mom of three and would describe myself as easygoing, friendly, kind, sincere, and passionate about what I do. I’m a wedding photographer with a fine art meets photojournalism style. I believe in “happily ever afters” because I found mine with my husband, Jared. We've been married for 20 years. I love photographing couples who (like me) have found their person—their best friend, partner, and soulmate. My mission is to capture love in its purest form and turn it into timeless art you’ll cherish forever.

It’s hard to put into words how amazingly talented Atalie is - from her impeccable ability to capture the most candid and happiest moments, to making sure everyone feels comfortable and beautiful in front of the camera, to bringing an upbeat yet calming vibe, to making you feel like you’re reliving your wedding day each time you look at your photos (which she gets back to you in record timing!). Thank you Atalie for giving my husband and I the most beautiful photos that we will treasure forever. We you!
