Dana was amazing throughout the whole planning process and really helped my vision come to life. Through the many emails and changes she really created the most stunning floral pieces I have ever seen. They were better than I could have imagined. From the bouquets, to the centerpieces, the arbor piece, and everything in between her and her team really was incredible. And reasonable prices too which is huge for florists!

A dad, a son, a brother and a jack of all trades musician that loves to rock out any chance I get. I grew up in New York City. My inclination towards photography came from classic street photography and photojournalists from all over the world that told their stories through a lens. It made me pick up a camera and start shooting. Now, living in Maryland I shoot all sorts of stories and moments locally, domestically, and abroad. It's taken me a while to figure out what my "thing" is but I've come to figure out that I'm a milestone photographer. The moments your life that have proven to be meaningful -- I'll be there.

From start to finish, Sam provided a wonderful experience as our wedding photographer. He is very approachable, making us feel comfortable right away and like he really knew us as a couple. Communication leading up to our wedding was perfect, not too much, not too little.. it was just right. Then they day of, he was timely, quick, and just blended in with the entire event wonderfully. I received so many comments from my bridal party and guests on “what a fun guy he is!” And then the final product that was delivered was ahmazing! I still love looking at our photos that documented our special day.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I'm glad you're here. ​ I married my best friend and I am a girl mom to the two most inspirational girls in the world. Coffee is my fuel and when I’m not taking pictures, you can find me in my garden. Photography is my passion and art is my refuge - the combination of the two is where I find myself most at peace. I am a wedding and portrait photographer based in Havre de Grace, Maryland. I'm grateful that capturing beautiful and once-in-a-lifetime memories is how I get to spend many of my days.

We had a wonderful experience working with Gabbi's Galleria for our wedding photography. Gabbi was extremely communicative, helpful, and attentive throughout the planning process. She was always available to hop on a call to discuss timelines, shot lists, and venue details. On the day-of, Gabbi brought an amazing energy and made everyone feel at ease in front of the camera. The photos turned out beautifully - her artistic eye and talent for capturing candid moments resulted in dreamy, romantic images that we will treasure.

My hair was not long enough so I was little nervous about it but she added the volume and did my hair as I explained to her. Everybody loved my look for the day. I am very pleased with her work and skill.

Putting on the Ritz 

4.6

  • Caterer
  • Serves Essex, MD

We love being a part of a bride and groom’s special day. We work hard to ensure that our service is flawless and our cuisine delicious. Come see Putting on the Ritz catering and find out why all of these couples are smiling. With more than 30 years of experience catering Baltimore and Washington area weddings, we can turn that special day into a truly memorable event. Whether you select one of our four unique locations or the many Baltimore and Washington wedding venues we partner with, we will work with you to create a perfect day from start to finish.

We hired POTR to cater our wedding at Josephine Butler Parks Center at the beginning of November 2024 and I was completely blown away by their service from the time we contacted them a year ago through clean up at the end of the night. POTR was stellar and flawless in every step of the way. We initially worked with Mila, who was responsive, professional and so helpful in helping us decide a menu. Planning a menu and catering for 150 people with different dietary needs but also staying within budget was no easy task. Mila presented us with a few options, and we chose a buffet with both meat and vegetarian options, as well as an antipasto display for cocktail hour. When we went in for the tasting, the food was amazing. We selected the top round, sesame chicken, portobello mushroom pasta, roast veggies, and mashed potatoes for our buffet, but we had such a difficult time deciding what to select because it was all so tasty. For the last three months leading up to the wedding, we ended up working with Bobby Mitchell and he was also phenomenal. When we did the walk through, he answered all of our questions (we had a lot) gave us advice on what would be the best seating arrangements, where to place the buffet, the best table sizes for the setups, and he even helped recommend contrasting colors for a few of the tablecloths and it looked amazing (we are so glad we took his advice!). His knowledge was invaluable and he readily answered the phone when we had questions. Within two weeks of the wedding, I requested a change to the vegetarian option (we ended up going with the butternut squash ravioli) and they were happy to accommodate. We didn’t try it at the tasting, but since the food was delicious, we were confident it would be good. It ended up being a hit at our wedding—people loved the ravioli, which sat on top of spaghetti squash. It was so good—even the non-vegetarians raved about it! On the day of the wedding, POTR knocked it out of the park. They were on time, set up everything flawlessly and efficiently. During our cocktail hour, Bobby brought us up a plate of food from the antipasto display (the tortellini are delicious!) and drinks to make sure we ate. We also heard compliments from the guests that the antipasto was so good and delicious. Also, since our venue was a tight space, we ended up using the same room for the ceremony and the reception. POTR turned it around within an hour. I wish I took photos of the room because it was beautiful! During dinner, Bobby brought us plates of food to make sure we ate, which was invaluable since one of the tips we have gotten several times is to make sure you eat at your wedding. When it came time for clean up, they were the pros. They broke everything down, cleaned it all up, and were done within an hour. Bobby also gave us extra food that was not served (we ordered extra just in case) and he had it packed up neatly and ready for us to go at the end of the night. We couldn’t have asked for a more amazing caterer. Bobby is phenomenal and POTR has delicious food, is professional, and they clearly know what they are doing. I can’t sing their praises enough. If you are looking for an amazing caterer, look no further. POTR will impress you and, true to their name, they will be “putting on the ritz” for you. We are so grateful for POTR making our day extra special!

I'm Barbara, an adventurer and passionate about life and the world we live in. I’ve lived in 4 different countries so far and I’m currently living in Maryland with Darrion, the love of my life. We met in 2008 in Prague. It was definitely one of those love-at-first-sight cliché stories. I’m such a romantic! I believe in fairy tales, love candle-lit dinners and dancing to Van Morrison under a starry sky.

We cannot say enough good things about Barbara and her photographs. From day one of my wedding planning process, Barbara was my top choice for a photographer. Her candid photos and gorgeous editing style drew me in immediately. Barbara took our engagement photos and photos of our wedding day. We had a micro wedding of only 21 people, so it had a very cozy feel which Barbara captured perfectly. Barbara fit right in with our family and friends. Everyone loved her. She captured the most intimate and lovely photos of our wedding day - we are so thrilled with the results. BOOK BARBARA!!

When we started talking about what we wanted out of a wedding, we decided an intimate ceremony was best for us. We wanted to find someone who could capture the little details of our day without the typical "posed" photos. We are so lucky to have come across Josie at Give. We had multiple Facetime conversations with her and from the beginning, we knew she would be great to work with. She was one of those people we just clicked with and immediately understood what we wanted: Her style of photography, her personality, the charitable donations, etc etc. The day of our wedding was super humid (yay Maryland in August), but she did not skip a beat and did not rush us from one point to another - we tried out some posed and "classic" photos but overall she got the "documentary/candid" styles we were looking for. We are so happy with all the photos she took and grateful to have such gorgeous memories to look back on!

Party Girl Entertainment 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $900
  • Serves Essex, MD

Party Girl Entertainment is run and operated by Amy Reid; an active Baltimore DJ, musician and events curator performing since 2010. Driven by music, a sincere joy of the dance floor and the power it has to bring people together, she formed PGE in 2019 with this goal in mind. She is accommodating and welcomes venues both intimate and expansive. In 2017, The Baltimore Sun deemed Reid as one of “10 Baltimore Musicians on the Rise.” She has also been featured in Baltimore Magazine’s “Faces of Pride” issue in 2019. Her favorite party starters are Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” and David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance.”

Amy was the DJ for our November 2024 wedding. As the music sets the vibe, we wanted someone who really understood what we were looking for and understood the music we like and our tastes. After a horrible experience talking with another vendor, we immediately clicked with Amy and felt that she understood what we were looking for (Gay dance pop!). Communication with her was straightforward and simple, and she took our basic playlists for different parts of the night and blended them to reflect our style and set the appropriate mood. She executed the music cues during our outdoor ceremony perfectly which we believe helped to elevate the whole experience. But the star of our experience with her was an amazingly packed and vibrant dance floor for the whole time. We got so many compliments on the music and everyone from our friends to coworkers and older relatives had a great time. One of our requests was to play a ton of Chappell Roan and Amy delivered, including a (potentially original?) dance mix of Pink Pony Club that was honestly transcendent. She even played a special song for a plushie toss (it’s a story) without our prompting. Every part of working with her was wonderful and we’d wholehearted recommend her to any couple in the area looking for a wedding DJ. First two pictures by Abby Carissimo.

  • Florist
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Essex, MD

I am the founder of a micro flower farm turned floral design studio. My journey began with a simple dream of cultivating beautiful blooms, but as the petals bloomed, so did my love for the art of floral design. I discovered a profound joy in curating unforgettable experiences through floral aesthetics. Through my journey, I have come to recognize that every petal tells a story, every stem holds a memory, and every bouquet is an expression of love and celebration. Let me be your guide through the enchanting world of flowers, where each arrangement becomes a reflection of your journey and a testament to the love you share.

Blush and Sage Design did the florals at my wedding and I can not say enough about what an incredible job they did. With very little guidance from me, they executed PERFECTLY on my vision of fall, fun, colorful florals in my bouquets AND my bud vases. I got countless compliments on what everything looked like and was so, so happy with all of it. Blush and Sage was a DREAM to work with and I really can't recommend them enough for your wedding!
