“Evan was an incredible officiant for our beach wedding ceremony. He is exactly the person we hoped he would be when we hired him to marry us on the beach at Sandbridge, and was absolutely wonderful accepting our two dogs (they gave us away!), into the ceremony. I cannot possibly recommend Evan enough. He’s got a warm presence, was super flexible in how he planned our ceremony (bonus points for an awesome questionnaire that put us at ease way before our ‘big day’), and brought a genuine sense of joy to the day. My wife and I both wanted something cozy and private, and Evan brought so much light to our day, you’d think he pulled the sun down for us, too. I am so incredibly happy to have chosen Evan to officiate our Elopement ceremony. It means the world to me to know that my wife felt comfortable and joyful in those moments, and Evan’s skill, warmth and wisdom sent those supposed wedding jitters out to sea like the tide. All I saw was my wife. Her smile. My life. All I felt was joy. Thank you, Evan!!!”

“It doesn’t get any better than Signature DJs. We booked Signature DJs for ceremony/reception music, Photo Booth, and uplighting. Brandon and Kellie were more than helpful during the wedding planning process. Signature DJs periodically sent me emails to remind me of anticipated steps to keep me on track. I had already booked my Day-Of Coordinators, but had I not I definitely would have booked Kellie! On the day of our wedding, Signature DJs arrived early and easily set up. Meredith with the photo booth was amazing! Our guests loved the customized photobooth strips!

PLEASE DIRECT ALL INQUIRIES TO MY WEBSITE Born & raised an "Air Force Brat," Christine has lived in various places from California to Germany. From a young age she knew she wanted to work in the beauty industry & followed her dreams by receiving her cosmetology license & attending the master class at the prestigious Make Up For Ever Academy in NYC. Working with brides has brought Christine so much joy, being involved in such an important part of someone’s life long memories is more than just makeup. Wedding days pass in the blink of an eye but the way you felt, and the photos you hang on your walls, will last a life time.

Awarded Best of Zola
“LOOK NO FURTHER, CHRISTINE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! I feel so lucky to have found Christine for my wedding makeup because she was everything I was looking for and more! I did a makeup trial with someone else that went terribly and was scrambling to find a new makeup artist less than two months before my wedding. I am truly so grateful I found Christine. Her talent speaks for itself, just check out her Instagram page (https://www.instagram.com/christinecouturecormier/). I had my first video consultation with Christine the day after I found her, and we discussed what went wrong with the first person and what I was hoping to achieve for my wedding day look. Not only was it clear that she knew what I was looking for, but she also had amazing ideas about the entire makeup experience on my wedding day that I hadn’t even thought of. Your makeup artist is SO important because you’ll have these photos forever and they’re the first vendor you interact with so they help set the mood for the day. Christine was an incredible presence the whole time she was there. She and the second makeup artist Lindsey made me and my entire bridal party look and feel amazing! Christine made incredible content with me and my bridal party and she was also there for my first look. She was the perfect calming presence I needed for the most exciting but stressful moment of the day. She helped fluff my dress and took photos and videos I was able to have immediately after the first look. You want to feel confident that your makeup artist is going to make you look and feel amazing, and I promise you can trust Christine with that! My guests were raving about my makeup! I felt done up and more special than my everyday makeup, but I still felt and looked like myself. Also the makeup lasted all night long! She is worth every single penny!! If you pick Christine to be your makeup artist you will not regret it!”

Will your Hair and Makeup look like you? timeless, polished, and stunning on camera? Will your morning feel calm, or chaotic? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ You deserve an artist who listens and *really* hears you. Every look is built around your features, your style, your vision, so you walk in feeling luminous, confident, and yourself. And your morning? Calm, on time, and completely taken care of, that is exactly what Cedrian is known for. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

“Cedrian was AMAZING to work with! I loved the whole process with her. From the trial to giving me my little goodie bag for touch ups she was an absolute gem to work with. One of the biggest things that I think is needed for brides (especially us Type A's) is communication and listening. We need someone who is pleasant to work with but knows that ultimately the job needs to get done. THAT was a big thing for me when it came to Cedrian that I LOVED. During the trial, I gave inspo pics and then we built on that. And I'm telling you that when I wanted a little more shadow or a little more contour, she did it ONE time and it was exactly what I wanted. Another thing that I loved about her is that she loves what she does! You can tell in her work, the way she has told stories of past brides..it just exudes from her! For me, that is someone I wanted on my team for the wedding day. Your wedding day is supposed to be filled with love and happiness and fun! Get Cedrian as your artist! I'm telling you. Throughout my process of picking vendors, I am a research queen. I check the reviews, and I read all the reviews. Cedrian is EVERYTHING her brides have said. I am SO happy to have found her. Thank you for everything Cedrian!”

​Planning a wedding is hard! There are so many details that go into planning a successful event...especially a wedding. Not only do you need the big things covered (venue, food, music) but the smallest of details can make your day amazing...or stressful (did you remember to pack your comfy shoes?). You're inviting all of your family and friends to share this day with you for a reason. You not only want your day to be an amazing experience for you as a couple, but for your guests too. Let us help you do that. I've assembled a team of wedding ninjas, and we're looking forward to helping make your day the best it can be.

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Kellie, who truly went above and beyond to make our special day unforgettable. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she was a master of her work and had a genuine passion for creating memorable experiences and we HAD to work with her. During the planning stages, Kellie's attentiveness and helpfulness were outstanding. She regularly checked in with us to ensure that all the details were in place and that our vision for the wedding was being brought to life. Kellie provided us with an abundance of planning resources, from vendor recommendations to an incredible Excel doc with every planning resource you could need (we’re talking budget sheets, guest list tracker, packing lists, day-of timelines, etc), which made the entire process much smoother and less stressful. For every question or concern I had, Kellie had an answer. On the day of the wedding, I am speechless for how smoothly Kellie ran the show. From start to finish, her ability to juggle multiple tasks (and people) while remaining calm and composed was truly remarkable. We were able to relax and enjoy our day knowing that Kellie had everything under control. What struck us the most about Kellie was her kind and caring nature. She genuinely cared about us as a couple and went absolutely above and beyond to make sure our needs were met. She took the time to understand our vision and priorities, and her dedication to making our dreams come true was evident in every aspect of the wedding. Her attention to detail, organization, and professionalism were second to none. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that every element of the wedding was executed flawlessly. We cannot express enough gratitude to Kellie for her invaluable contributions to our special day. Without her expertise and dedication, our wedding would not have been the incredible event that it was. Kellie is truly one of a kind, and her passion for creating unforgettable experiences shines through in everything she does. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a wedding coordinator who will go above and beyond to make their dreams come true!”

I've shot here a number of times (Zola only let me chose 10 out of 30 pics I wanted to show) and it is fantastic. First, the staff is wonderful as they are attentive and they go above and beyond for their couples. I love to see that because, as a photographer, I work closely with the staff so we can make the couple's day just as they imagined. There are great spots to get photos, just a short distance from the clubhouse. As a photographer, that is important because I want to get the amazing shots the couple wants without a delay getting them to the reception. The sunsets on the river are amazing and they get them ALL year. I've shot there in winter, spring, summer, and fall.

“https://fb.watch/vutQlKGyby/ My name is Cynthia. I am the bride's mother, and this is a review of the amazing team of vendors who helped me execute the vision for my daughter's wedding. It all started close to two years ago when my daughter Madison called me to tell me she had just gotten engaged. Around two months later, she created her Pinterest board and showed it to me, and just like that... that was my queue! I was a wedding planner so I know how much work and planning a wedding takes. I called Madison and told her we would start interviewing vendors immediately. She asked if it was too soon and my answer was no! Weddings take about a year to a year and a half to plan. At the time Madison was a full-time employee and studying to get her Master's degree, so she was very limited in all of the planning, her main focus was finishing school before the wedding. Living in a different state, I depended on the internet, reviews, and calling each vendor to get a feel for how they responded to me and my views. This wedding was going to be a very organic yet elegant vegan wedding. My daughter had given me her vision and it was up to me to bring it to life. After many over-the-phone interviews, the vendors we chose were the perfect fit, the perfect DREAM TEAM! They all knew I lived in Miami and my daughter's wedding was in Virginia, so this would be a little more challenging for all of us. WEDDING PLANNER: E&E Design Company, Katie and Maegan, these two ladies are nothing short of AMAZING! They knew I was in the wedding planning business, Katie and Maegan listened, let me run through all my ideas, and then enhanced my vision and made it happen. These two ladies met with me on the day of the wedding at 10:00 AM and did not end until midnight, both of them are such hard workers. Meagan and Katie, you are always happy, positive, and helpful they are AWESOME! I appreciate you more than you know, thank you for making my daughter so happy! This was Madison and Nikko's DREAM WEDDING, and it was all created with lots of love and support. IT WAS EPIC! Cynthia Mother of the Bride”

“From start to finish, our experience with the Gala was incredible. In a competitive and expensive industry, the Gala 417 stands alone in its food quality, lovable staff, and dedication to its clients. During our planning process, the Gala staff was responsive and courteous even when we had some off the wall ideas. They love to support creative visions and help you make your vision come to life. Early on, we picked up on how comfortable our vendors were to work with the Gala team, which is a testament to their ability to work as a team to accomplish their clients wedding wishes. Weeks after our wedding, we continue to receive messages from friends and family who rave about the venue, food and drink, and staff. We would book again with the Gala 10 out of 10 times, it was one of the first and best decisions my husband and I made.”

  • Starts at $15,000
  • Serves Gwynn, VA

Hi there, I'm Jessica! One of my favorite things about being a wedding florist is getting to create living art. This kind of art is never stagnant, never monotonous. The medium represents growth, connection and love- a perfect symbol to surround my beautiful couples on their wedding day.

“Working with Jessica was a treat. She was an incredible listener and translated our inspiration into reality spectacularly. Her arrangements were dynamic, structural, cohesive and so intentionally crafted. We shared some specific elements/colors we wanted and she was able to run with our ideas and turn them into a full floral design vision board. Jessica had candles and votives, and sourced these gorgeous ribbons for the bouquets. She thoughtfully incorporated all our requests and was happy to adjust throughout the planning process. I can’t recommend her more highly!”
