We booked Amanda for Month-Of Coordination and she was an absolute joy to work with! Amanda was polite, professional, prepared, and calm throughout all correspondence and day-of work. Amanda provided invaluable insight on our wedding day timeline and kindly circulated that to our full vendor team. During our venue walkthrough, she brought up so many details I hadn't even thought about, and made expert suggestions on how to address those details. I had a lot of decorative elements that were important to me, and Amanda executed that vision flawlessly. Amanda even has a collection of items available to borrow which came in great handy (easels, candles, cake stands, etc). We experienced some super last minute guest cancellations - I hesitated to text Amanda at midnight on the eve of our wedding, but she replied and addressed those changes expertly. After our wedding, Amanda worked quickly to pack up everything (it was a lot!!!), including items I neglected to make a plan for, like the bouquet and wedding cake - so grateful to Amanda for that!! I highly recommend Amanda as a courteous, organized, and professional wedding coordinator.

  • Florist

My mission is to lead my professional team in creating elevated yet unique floral designs that meet or exceed our client's expectations. My love for flowers started at a business workshop, and I am overjoyed to be able to create floral art for every client's event. It warms my heart to experience the pure happiness that our clients feel when walking into our transformed space for the first time. I look forward to our collaboration.

I wanted to take a moment to express our deepest appreciation for Kelly for being our wonderful wedding décor planner. There are so many things that I could say about how talented, thorough, and impressive she is. Even though we had countless email exchanges, Kelly never missed a beat when it came to our wedding! It's impressive how she kept everything together, even the small details. We received so many compliments of the intentionality and detailed planning of the wedding, and I must give Kelly credit for that. One thing she should be proud of is how comfortable she made us feel from our first virtual consultation all the way up to wedding day and the trust we built throughout the planning process. Kelly’s responsiveness and care for detail were greatly appreciated and were evidence of her professionalism. I want to highlight Kelly’s resiliency with finding a non-profit organization for us to donate our flowers to after the wedding. Her tenacity is unmeasurable, and the décor was breathtaking! She nailed my vision, giving me the romantic, elegant, and clean look I dreamed of. I'm sure there are lots of behind-the-scenes things we will never know about, but from our perspective, everything flowed smoothly, allowing us to fully be in the moment. That's a memory that will live with us forever. Kely, thank you for being you and blessing us with your skills! Please extend my many thanks to the amazing team at Perfectly Adorned Event Décor!

We don't typically write reviews, but we want to share how invaluable Imagine It! was in planning our wedding--from helping us develop the vision to the day of execution. Dariya and Andrea were extremely, thoughtful and detailed to approaching our wedding and reception planning. They ensured the day illustrated our vision but still provided insight and guidance that helped to bring everything together. Due to weather, we had to make some pretty significant changes. The Imagine It! team walked us through a very detailed Plan B that we ended up leveraging. Thank God we listened! It's been over 5 years, and our friends and family still talk about how beautiful and fun our wedding events were. We are grateful for Dairya and Andrea's patience and expertise.

My husband and I used Direct Entertainment for our DJ and videographer for our wedding and we could not be more pleased!! The team was professional, great at communication, very kind and professional, and they helped make our day absolutely perfect! Jeff, our DJ kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT!! When the music had to stop at the end of the night, the dance floor was still completely full and no one wanted it to end. He did a great job announcing the events of the night, made sure that our ceremony music was perfect, and he stuck to our wedding playlist with the exception for a couple guest requests (which we were happy to allow). We were so happy and thankful to have Jeff there! Sie, our videographer also did a wonderful job! We have not yet received our video as our wedding was less than 2 weeks ago, but I already know it is going to be amazing. He was so great with communication, was prompt with his timing, and he even set up a second camera for guests to break away and give us well wishes for our marriage, which I'm so excited to watch back. He was very professional and wonderful to work with. We decided to add videography at the last minute because we thought we might regret not having it, and I am SO happy we asked Jim at Direct Entertainment if they had someone available for our day just a month before, and they did!! Jim, the coordinator at Direct Entertainment frequently checked in with us, asked us questions about ourselves, and genuinely made us feel like he cared about us and our special day. He was great to work with leading up to being assigned our designated DJ and videographer, and even after, he checked in to make sure we were happy and that all of the planning was going well. Overall, we would 1000% recommend Direct Entertainment for any wedding entertainment needs! I know they also offer several other services that we did not utilize, and I'm sure they are wonderful as well! Photos courtesy of Lang at Wandering Wolf Photography.

We hired Jeremy to DJ our wedding in September 2018. We are avid (and opinionated) music fans, so this was one of the most important parts of our day. Jeremy's pre-wedding process was efficient, informative, collaborative, and fun. Given all of the information we provided him, he absolutely nailed the vibe we had in mind, and he played an expertly curated and mixed set that was a hit with everyone at the wedding. The dance floor was positively packed all night. Additionally, Jeremy was punctual, courteous, accommodating, and charismatic. What else can you ask for in a wedding DJ?

Working out of Arlington, VA, the Coordinated Collective provides day-of coordination for couples who have otherwise organized their own wedding. Aiding couples in the District of Columbia, Eastern Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia, the women of this company have a wealth of knowledge and experience organizing weddings in all sorts of venues and design. Owned by Ja’el Mendez, this team of experts brings the final touch needed to make sure you get hitched without a glitch! The initial planning is done by the clients, meaning that couples choose their own vendors and have the freedom to design their own wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring The Coordinated Collective was by far the best decision we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. Every single person we interacted with was incredible, starting with Ja’el the owner, who was amazing from start to finish. She is warm, organized, thoughtful, and we felt see was genuinely invested in us. From our first conversation, we knew we were in great hands. Our day-of coordinators, Liz and Blair, were absolute stars. They just got us. Throughout the planning process, they provided steady guidance, answered every question, and—when we had concerns about potential issues with other vendors—gave us thoughtful, grounded advice and real encouragement. As we approached the wedding, Liz and Blair stepped in to manage the scheduling of the countless moving parts of our wedding day. They helped address issues before they became problems, and resolved most problems before they became crises. Their communication and stress management were unparalleled. They kept us informed whenever we needed to know something and shielded us from anything we didn’t need to be bothered with. I referred back to Blair’s meticulously documented recap emails from our planning meetings so many times during planning - no idea how anything would have gotten done without those! We always felt like they were firmly on our team. Their presence throughout those final weeks kept us calm and confident… despite the best attempts of some of our vendors and family! And then the wedding day itself… flawless. Truly flawless. They executed the day with precision, grace, and warmth. They handled countless details behind the scenes so seamlessly that we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our big day. At one point during dinner, I (the bride) leaned over to my mom to ask if she had floss because I had food stuck in my teeth, and before I could finish my sentence, Liz promptly whisked me away to a back room where I found myself suddenly in front of a mirror with a toothpick in hand! The level of support and preparation during the pre-wedding stages was above and beyond what we ever expected. Our families and friends are still raving about how fantastic they were on the day-of. We also decided to add on content creation with Teri late in the process, and we are SO glad we did. She was amazing—funny, kind, unobtrusive, and everywhere at once without ever feeling like a camera was in our faces. A couple of days after the wedding, we received our raw video dump, and it is worth every single penny. I’ve spent hours reliving the day through all the behind-the-scenes moments she captured with our guests, family, and wedding party. She didn’t miss a thing. We can’t wait to see the short-form content she creates, but honestly, the raw footage alone already exceeded our hopes. We are genuinely obsessed with this team. The Coordinated Collective is thoughtful, professional, communicative, creative, and deeply committed to making your wedding experience exceptional from beginning to end. If you’re considering hiring them, don’t hesitate for a second. They were truly the best decision we made, and we are endlessly grateful.

Hi! I'm Nina and I run Ivy & Quartz photography! I shot my first wedding in 2013, but my journey with photography began long before that. When I was about 10 years old, my dad gave me a camera and I quickly became obsessed. My intrigue continued to grow over the years and I went on to earn my BA in Studio Art , Photography, from the University of Virginia. After graduating I worked as a portrait photographer and decided to pursue and earn my MFA in Imaging Arts from the Rochester Institute of Technology.

Awarded Best of Zola
After friends shared a photo of my then fiance and me at their own wedding, we hired the photographer who took it. This was Nina! That one photo inspired us to review the gallery of their entire wedding and then her portfolio and we were blown away. 7 months later our own wedding day arrived. My husband and I are the type of people who are wildly present and constantly forget to take photographs of our life together. We knew we wanted to capture this day without the photography becoming a chore or hindering our ability to do what we do best and enjoy our time. Nina was able to provide just that and was incredible (as was the second photographer she worked with for our big day). Nina seamlessly handled all the chaotic moments and pre-ceremony stress of the very emotional bride (me) in stride! With very little direction she navigated all aspects of a wedding day with absolute poise and grace. I cannot thank her enough for taking on such leadership and just GETTING IT DONE! Nina captured all the big and tiny pieces that go into a wedding and I felt her photo choices, angles, and poses perfectly captured the essence of me and my husband's personalities. At every avenue Nina was a professional, personable, and I never expected I could be so satisfied with a collection of photographs. THANK YOU SO MUCH NINA.

Let me start with District Winery is a fabulous wedding venue! For starters, it is gorgeous inside and out with a besutiful waterfront location. That alone wooed us, but the real wooing came from Latoria, the DW sales manager, who was fantastic to work with. She was incredibly patient answering all of our many questions before we signed the contract and afterwards letting us know the next steps. Another fantastic aspect of weddings at DW is that they assign you an event manager - and now this is where the big, huge thanks come into play. Samantha was absolutely incredible to work with! She was our event manager and left no detail unaccounted for. From our first email exchange to our final walkthrough and then the final, final details, she answered every question and ensured everything was set and ready to go. She is very detail oriented and the spreadsheet she gave us to complete with all of our decor, dietary restrictions, etc. ensured fantastic organization and that everyone was on the same page. Day-of, I could not believe how perfectly everything turned out with our decor, flowers, and food. The food at DW is fantastic - if you haven’t been yet for a visit - go! Everyone knows that you don’t go to a wedding and expect great food and wine, but that is not the case here at DW. After our unbelievable tasting night (which was just insanely awesome), we had to narrow down our favorites which was hard to do!One of my favorite aspects of a wedding is cocktail hour and they delighted with the passed hors d’oeuvres, food stations (including a cheese tower), and bar! Also, as my husband and I keep saying- the best money we spent was on the gorgeous and fun champagne tower! Obviously, I can’t say enough great things about our wedding at District Winery. If we could do it all over again, we would and we wouldn’t change a thing! Huge thanks to Samantha and District Winery for making our dream day come true!

He was very clear and efficient with communication. He let us ask for what we wanted while also guiding us toward other fun creative ideas. On the day of our wedding, he and Paul were amazing to work with. Great vibes, controlled time well and captured the true essence of our wedding. Finally, the pictures were STUNNING.

DJ Neal was absolutely amazing at our July wedding in Purcellville, VA! From start to finish, his communication was excellent—clear, responsive, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process. Our venue had the ceremony site, cocktail hour, and reception all in three separate areas, and DJ Neal was more than accommodating with his setup. Everything transitioned seamlessly and without any stress for us. He truly went above and beyond with the lighting setup as well. It completely transformed the space and looked incredible—it added so much to the overall atmosphere of the reception and the pricing was very inexpensive. Compared to other DJs we considered, his package options were incredibly well-priced for the level of service and quality he delivered. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ experience and would highly recommend DJ Neal to anyone looking for a professional, talented, and reliable DJ for their event!

Omg—our DJ was AMAZING! He understood the assignment and delivered beyond our expectations. Even though he asked for our input and allowed us to create our own playlist for the reception, we also gave him the freedom to do his thing—and he absolutely crushed it. From the perfect timing of the music to hyping up the crowd, every moment flowed with energy and fun. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Our communication from day one was incredible. Just let him know that we needed to discuss some things and he immediately made it happen. Very easy to work with. Huge kudos to you and your team for making the night unforgettable!

5 Thousand Frames Films provided us with the best videography service we could have asked for on our wedding day. Their communication style was fantastic - they didn't overwhelm us with too many questions, and instead proposed perfect ideas to capture all the special moments. The quality of their work is unmatched, a solid 100 out of 5! They created an incredible same-day-edit video that was shown at the end of our wedding, and the quality, plot, music, and framing were all flawless. While I was getting ready, the videographer even took it upon himself to shoot all the necessary footage of the background details. I highly recommend 5 Thousand Frames Films - you're guaranteed to have the best experience, as their professionalism and quality of work is simply outstanding.

Hi! This is Andi, a videographer who, after 7 years of making news documentaries and nonprofit videos for social causes, decided to step into wedding films. Currently serving couples in the Washington D.C. metro area and beyond. You can find pricing and package info on my website.

Awarded Best of Zola
Andi was an absolute joy to work with. From our very first meeting, she showed a genuine interest in understanding our vision for the video. She asked thoughtful questions and immediately put us at ease, even when we felt a little outside of our comfort zone in front of the camera. On our wedding day, she went above and beyond — at one point even taking a clip out of her own hair to help pin mine down for photos. Her kindness and character shone through every step of the way, and the final video captured our day more beautifully than we could have imagined. If we could get married again and again, we’d choose Andi every single time to tell our story.

Milton Ridge was an incredible place to get married! The beauty of the venue and the inclusive wedding options (i.e. catering, DJ, etc.) made this the absolute perfect place to say, "I do!" The getting ready suites were superb & made the day of preparation before the ceremony seamless. The chapel was so beautiful and such a great little spot off the side of 355. Our guests still comment on the simplicity of how we decorated the chapel, and how beautiful the white walls and natural light streaming in were during the ceremony. I was not sure how we'd get group photos on the property... and our photographers were able to use the beautiful stone and green areas within the venue to capture the most beautiful photos of the bride, groom and the wedding party! Guests are still RAVING about how convenient it was to walk up a few stairs to the cocktail hour AND into the reception. They marveled at the ease... park your car, attend the ceremony and then stay and party all night long until it's time to leave! The reception hall was beautiful; the buffet food was to die for; and Meghan and Brandi ensured that EVERY detail of our wedding day was accounted for, seamless and flowing without any hitch! I cannot recommend Milton Ridge enough! Thank you for making our wedding day the most memorable and BEST day of our lives! We owe it to this team, this venue and their support with planning our wedding every step of the way!
