Maya Moves

  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Great Mills, MD
  • Offer

Maya Moves was created for the couples who don't want to look like they've taken months of classes, but also don't want to just sway in place the entire time. The 1 hour lesson starts by reviewing details about your wedding. The recommended length for the dance is short, 1:30-2m. Then, you will learn how to stand comfortably together & 3-4 signature moves (typically a dip, and other moves that fit the vibe of your song). You won't learn traditional moves, like the box step or the waltz, but rather easy moves that beginner dancers can look good doing. Maya Moves offers private wedding lessons, both in NYC and over Zoom.

I took a lesson with Maya and was so impressed with her easy, simple approach to teaching. In just an hour, my partner and I were completely equipped with the tools to kill our first dance, and we felt confident and comfortable the entire time. Could not recommend her more!

Catholic Contemporary And Traditional Weddings 

5.0

  • Officiant
  • Offers 8 ceremony types
  • Serves Great Mills, MD

Father David is a wedding officiant based in the Washington metropolitan area. Father David is there to help curate the perfect ceremony that fits your vision and your faith, while offering a modern and authentic experience.

My partner and I are a same-sex couple who both come from Catholic backgrounds. Although we decided to have a garden ceremony and not a church ceremony, it was important for our families to feel at home. Our initial ask of Fr. David was not to officiate our ceremony (because we had a courthouse ceremony also planned), but to deliver a homily. However, over time, my and my partner's plans expanded slightly to include other aspects of a traditional Catholic wedding (blessings for the parents and godparents, the cord ceremony, etc.). Fr. David was more than accommodating and so supportive throughout our journey. With his support and understanding, we felt very comfortable incorporating these aspects of tradition that mean so much to us and our families, while still making the ceremony uniquely our own. He is so gentle, encouraging, and warm, and strikes the perfect balance between signifying authority given the importance of the occasion, and providing commentary to elicit laughter. We feel very blessed for Fr. David to be a significant part of our special day!

We bring a fun and vibrant feel to your wedding day and allow you to feel calm and relaxed in front of the camera. Serving all across the eastern shore, and love to travel to capture love stories in destination locations!

We truly can’t imagine having anyone but AP Photography capture our wedding day. Lexi has been with us from the very start, not just for our wedding, but also for our engagement photos. She’s become so much more than our photographer; she genuinely feels like family. From the beginning, she’s made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera (which is not easy for us). She has an incredible way of making us relax so the photos feel natural and so us. Even on our wedding day, with all the chaos, she kept us calm and guided us and our wedding party effortlessly for photos without ever making it feel forced. What we especially loved is how she somehow captured every single moment while blending in so well. You almost didn’t even notice she was there, yet she didn’t miss a thing. When we got our photos back, it felt like reliving the day exactly as it happened. We’re so grateful for AP Photography. If you want someone who will go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable, capture real, beautiful memories and feel like a true friend every step of the way, there’s no one better.

He and his team's professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine excitement for our special day set them apart from the start. Throughout the planning process, he was attentive, responsive, and truly listened to our vision. Our tasting was so much fun and helped us realize we had picked the right company. On the big day, the Eat & Smile Team was seamless—everything ran smoothly, and they made sure every guest felt taken care of. We didn’t have to worry about a thing, which allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment! And the food—wow/no words/chef's kiss!! Our guests are still raving about the delicious dishes, from the beautifully presented appetizers to the decadent desserts. We enjoyed everything, and it was clear that the food was made with care and expertise. It’s rare to find a caterer who exceeds expectations in both service and cuisine, but this team did just that. We can’t thank Oliver and his dedicated staff enough for making our celebration so memorable. If you want your event to be truly special, look no further!

Sam Hurd Photography

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Great Mills, MD

My style is distinct, a result of both my unrelenting commitment to my craft and complete trust from clients who commission me. You’re not going to read about any awards, badges, or “top 10 lists” because what matters is you’re in love with the work that you see and are ready to trust me entirely to do what I do. This trust drives me to find the perfect balance between creative experimentation and honest documentation.

Sam is a truly talented one of a kind artist, and yet you won’t find the kind of ego you’d expect to with someone like that. Instead he’s warm, accommodating and a true team player. My team LOVES working with the guy. That is all.

  • Serves Great Mills, MD

As owner and lead wedding planner, Janice has her hands on every Bellwether wedding. She’s a logistical virtuoso with crazy-high standards. She’s never met a detail she couldn’t wrangle or a problem she couldn’t solve. You can always expect Janice to keep it real — a communication style you’ll be thankful for when dealing with budgets, wedding day mania, and drunk Uncle Ted.

My husband and I found Janice through her blog and were drawn to her transparency about an industry that can often feel opaque and hard to navigate. We met with two other potential planners, but we decided to follow our initial instinct and put our trust in Janice. She did not disappoint! Janice kept the entire planning process incredibly organized and did an amazing job of finding vendors that aligned with our (sometimes very specific) vision. Anytime we started to feel overwhelmed, Janice was ready with a detailed timeline, polite-but-firm reminder emails, and a very encouraging attitude. Janice was also very receptive and enthusiastic about helping us incorporate important cultural elements into our day that she had not had experience previously (ex. A Japanese kagami biraki ceremony). Most importantly, Janice was extremely reliable. For example, my bridesmaids and I were supposed to get our hair and make-up done at a hotel the morning of the wedding, but after we woke up to a power outage and alerted Janice, she immediately jumped into action arranging a new location and updating the beauty and photo teams about the change. She then raced over to the hotel to help me and my MOHs pack up my wedding dress, shoes, accessories, and bridesmaids gifts and convinced the concierge to let us use the emergency freight elevator so that we wouldn’t have to run down 15 flights of stairs. Her husband drove us all to the alternate location and, miraculously, all of the hair, make-up, group photos, and dressing were completed with a whopping 15 minutes to spare! Despite the early morning switch-up, the rest of the day went off without a hitch and we knew the wedding couldn’t have gone as smoothly as it did if it weren’t for Janice’s work (both in the planning and the day-of coordination). We are so glad to have hired Janice and 100% recommend Bellwether Events.

On the day of the wedding, they were punctual, professional, and seamlessly blended into the day — capturing all the important moments without ever feeling intrusive. The final gallery brought me to tears (the happy kind!). Every emotion, detail, and candid was beautifully captured. The photos feel timeless and full of life — exactly what we wanted. Not only are they incredibly talented behind the camera, but they also brought such a calming, positive energy that made a huge difference during a fast-paced and emotional day. If you’re thinking about booking Chaya, do it! We’re forever grateful for the memories they’ve preserved so beautifully. — Jaime

We are Burroughs Photography - husband and wife wedding photography team. Primarily, we work in the Maryland, D.C., and Virginia areas, but we travel nationwide and frequently photograph weddings far outside of the DMV. During your wedding day, our goal is to be unobtrusive, fun and relaxing to work with. We want you to enjoy your day and forget we are there so we can get those natural candid moments. We love life, spending time with our 3 little girls, good food, and of course, capturing beautiful couples and their incredible moments. We value diversity and are both proud HBCU graduates. -Jonathan & Alexis -

We had the pleasure of working with Burroughs Photography for our wedding, and we couldn't have been happier with their services. Jonathan and Alexia were so kind and professional every step of the way. Their communication style is authentic, open, and thoughtful - they really took the time to understand our vision and the importance of capturing our family and cultural traditions. On the day-of, Jonathan and Alexis were organized and worked seamlessly with our other vendors to make sure no special moments were missed. The quality of their work is simply exquisite - they have such an artistic eye and talent for capturing emotional moments. Alexia even helped me fit into my bridal robe and wedding dress perfectly before the ceremony. We highly recommend Burroughs Photography for your special event photography needs. Their professional yet personal approach resulted in timeless photos we will cherish forever.

There are no do-overs in this business. We take what we do very seriously because we want our clients to have the best memories. You invest time and money into your day to make it perfect and we are your insurance plan to protect your investment and execute your plan. Planning events is our passion. The details matter and we love bringing clients’ visions to life, allowing them to create the best-shared experiences. Chief Planner, Vanessa Young founded Little Black Book in Washington, D.C. to provide clients with exclusive access to vendors and services starting with event planning that exceeds expectations.

We worked with both Vanessa and Alycia at Little Black Book for partial planning and design services for our wedding. In addition to being absolute lifesavers in the days leading up to the wedding (and day of), they were real thought partners in helping visually design our wedding and help that plan come to life. They both really understood our vision and helped us find the style and vendors to help us achieve it.
