“We hired Kelsey to assist with our event coordination for our April 2026 wedding. We had known Kelsey for years and were absolutely delighted when she took the leap of faith and started Kelsey Regina Events. This was, by far, one of the best wedding decisions we made. From the very beginning, Kelsey was incredibly organized, prompt, responsive, and so willing to assist with any questions or concerns. As we got closer to our event, she really took the burden off of us as we were preparing for our big day. She went above and beyond with her communication with our vendors, making sure she understood our vision, and tying up the loose ends so we could focus on the small details remaining. She was incredibly helpful as a sounding board when we needed to make a last minute decision regarding implementing our rain plan, something we ended up moving forward with that went incredibly smoothly. On the day of the event, Kelsey and her assistant, Carly, were absolute super stars. They were everywhere at once, but also right where they needed to be at any given moment. The tender love and care they gave to every moment and detail was highlighted throughout the day, and even complimented by many of our guests. They were timely, prepared, and ready for everything that day. Working with them will always be a highlight of our wedding day for years to come. We will be recommending Kelsey Regina Events to anyone we know getting married for forever.”

Using Invisible Artistry, we engineer the certainty of our Perfect Fit Promise. Complimentary Consultations and Second Opinions are welcome as we protect your legacy through meticulous craftsmanship and personalized care.

“Working with Elle Sisters Bridal & Formal Alterations was a game-changer for my wedding day. When I realized I needed my dress hemmed and taken in multiple sizes with just a month before the wedding, Kimberly and her team stepped up without hesitation to rush the job. She scheduled several appointments to get the fit exactly right, and during each one she focused on every detail to make sure the dress hugged my body perfectly. What really impressed me was her honesty—when I mentioned a dress I'd bought elsewhere, she told me it was hemmed too short and suggested I find something better, which I did. On top of all that, she steamed my veil for me without being asked. From start to finish, Elle Sisters was responsive, flexible, and genuinely invested in making sure I looked and felt amazing walking down the aisle.”

My name is Jennette and I would love to be a part of your special day! I got into wedding coordinating on accident! One random day a few years ago, one of my friends asked if I would assist her in a few of her weddings. From that day on, I have been working weddings and my interest in them grew! My company is named after my beloved doggie, Lilo. She is a boxer mix hound, and she is surely a sassy one! She is lively, fierce and isn't afraid to have a good time. My vision for Lilo Weddings is to deliver a stress free and memorable event while working side by side with amazing vendors on the couple's wedding day!

“Jennette is amazing! If you're looking for a wedding coordinator who truly understands both Vietnamese and American weddings—or weddings in general—don't hesitate to work with her. We booked her 2 Months of Coordination package, and she went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day ran smoothly. She was always available to answer questions, offer advice, and help us solve any problems along the way. She understood how stressful wedding planning can be and made us feel supported every step of the process. Jennette also provided rental décor and tea ceremony decorations, which were a huge help for our Vietnamese tea ceremony. Her experience with multicultural weddings made everything so much easier. She is incredibly organized and detail-oriented (definitely Type A!), which was exactly what we needed. My husband and I planned our wedding in just 4–5 months, and we truly couldn't have done it without her guidance. A special thank you to her assistant, Lucia, as well. Jennette and Lucia worked so well together, and their teamwork made our wedding day feel seamless. Their entire team was professional, organized, and always one step ahead, allowing us and our families to truly enjoy the day without worrying about the details. We highly recommend Jennette and her team to anyone looking for a coordinator who will keep your wedding organized, stress-free, and running seamlessly. Booking her was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!”

Something to think about: Your photographer follows you around your entire wedding day, so you need someone you feel comfortable with! Megan immediately put us at ease. We had a blast with her on the engagement photoshoot (we went to waterfall at sunrise!) and we had a blast planning out all our wedding shots with her. At the wedding itself, her team was so professional and endlessly kind. They never made the wedding feel awkward or had to "stop the action" for a shot. She delivered an AMAZING gallery for us in a timely manner with the most beautiful photos we've ever had taken in our lives. She captured all the special moments and managed all our family dynamics.

Meet Alex, a visual storyteller who brings your vision to life. Beyond the camera, I am an architect of moments, crafting images that transcend mere visuals. Imagine your session as a time capsule, not just freezing moments but encapsulating the very essence of your experiences, the laughter, the shared glances, and the whispers that echo in your memories. I aspire to create a visual odyssey where each image you relive not only the scenes but emotions, thoughts, and ambiance of your session.

“We had a great experience with Alex. Our wedding was an elopement which involved a lot of last min arrangements. We didn’t want a ceremony but we did want to get dressed up and have memorable pictures taken. Alex did not disappoint. He ensured we had wonderful pictures to look back on and she made it super fun!”

CPK Floral Designs provides modern fresh floral arrangements for special occasions, weddings, and sympathy. My favorite thing about floral design for weddings is bringing the Bride and Groom's vision during the planning process to fruition on their wedding day. Seeing the happiness that the flowers bring to the Happy Couple on their special day is the absolute best reward.

She showed up to the venue walkthrough and made suggestions that really changed the look of the wedding in a beautiful way. The flowers were fresh and everything looked professional! You won’t be disappointed by booking here. Highly recommended!!!!”

“On March 18, 2023, my husband and I received top notch service from DJ Squirrel on our wedding day at Amber Grove in Moseley, VA. He was well organized and thought of every detail! He had a good sense of the direction I wanted for my day due to the constant communication we had and followed it accordingly. He was able to deal with all the ebbs and flows of a wedding day and did so professionally. We were thrilled to have him be a part of our day and could not have been happier with our decision to choose him as our DJ.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Andrew & his team. Andrew worked with me to surprise my wife with a prerecorded message to play right before I walked down the aisle. He made my vision a reality and let me tell you the tears were flowing from everyone! I cannot thank him enough! Andrew and his team did an amazing job all night! He’s not just a DJ, he’s a hype man!! He kept the crowd on the dance floor all night long, playing absolute killer songs. His fun, upbeat, and personable personality made the entire night so fun!! I would recommend Andrew to anyone, any occasion, EVERY day!!! I know choosing vendors is stressful because there’s so many, but trust me, you will NOT be disappointed using Upchurch for your event!!”
