Windows Catering Company 

5.0

  • Caterer
  • Starts at $18,750
  • Serves Laurel, MD

Here at Windows Catering Company, we know that planning your dream wedding can seem quite overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. It just takes a planning partner who will listen carefully and ensure that your distinct vision is reflected in every detail. Whether your ideal affair is an opulent seated dinner or a coastal buffet served al fresco, we will do all the work to make it your personal expression. Since 1987 we have been creating wonderful weddings in Washington, D.C., Virginia and Maryland.

It was such a pleasure working with Debbie and her team at Windows. They did an amazing job catering our wedding of about 110 people. From the very beginning of the process Debbie was thoughtful, professional, and brought so much attention to detail in our planning. The tasting was fun and allowed us an opportunity to pick and choose what would work best for day of. I also appreciated Debbie’s input when it came to the menu. We had several guests with food allergies and dietary restrictions and windows were able to accommodate all of them. Knowing we not be working with a florist, Windows provided our center pieces. Beautiful white flowers and greenery surrounding three candle holders of different heights. A beautiful touch that helped bring the space together. When it came to day of planning, Debbie was able to help with managing a smooth timeline and ensure all the food was prepared and ready tasting its absolute best. We’ve received tons of compliments on how delicious the food was from our guests. The short rib melted in your mouth and the Halibut was cooked to perfection and served to guests quickly not compromising its quality. For our vegan friends they noted the cauliflower steak was one of the best dishes they’ve had at a wedding. All in all we cannot recommend Windows enough! There are usually two ways people remember wedding food and we feel so lucky that guests walked away full and raving about how good ours was!

Danielle Real Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,000
  • Serves Laurel, MD

Hi - I'm Danielle. A wife. A mom to three wonderful children. A wedding photographer. I've been shooting weddings since 2010. 300++ weddings and counting. I love working with natural light, real moments, and images with energy and emotion. I would love the privilege of hearing your love story. If you'd like to inquire, please email or call to set up an interview.!

We hired Danielle Real for our engagement and wedding photos. She is a preferred vendor of District Winery, where we got married, and it was easy to see why. She’s a true professional and a master at photography. She made us feel at ease during our engagement photos by helping us choose the outfits that would work best with the setting and teaching us how to pose. On the day of our wedding, she was prompt and attentive. As a result of our productive planning meeting about a month before our wedding, she had a list of all the photos we wanted (most because of her great suggestions!) and we sailed right thru them. Bonus: she is a pro people-wrangler. She also knows the exact right spots for each kind of photos at District Winery which helped moved things along so much that we achieved our goal of not having to take any photos during cocktail hour so we could enjoy it too! We just finished going through all of our wedding photos and could not be happier - so many to love!

If I had to describe myself in five words it would be: food, exercise, animals, travel, and art (not in any specific order).

Events by Tyra 

5.0

  • Planner
  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $2,150
  • Serves Laurel, MD

Events by Tyra is a black-owned, woman-owned wedding and event planning service provider based in Maryland. All are welcome! We offer full service planning for the couple that wants to make decisions, but doesn't want to be bogged down with all the details. Partial planning is available to couples that want to be more hands-on with hiring vendors and handling details, but might need just a bit of help when it comes to design and vendor management. Wedding management is perfect for couples that have already selected their vendors, planning their wedding, and are looking for help for the last couple months leading up to the wedding.

I rarely meet anyone in life that is as Type A and detail-oriented as I am, but Tyra was my match. I've done a lot of event planning in my own career, but you really can't be your own planner especially in the weeks leading up to the wedding on the day itself. Tyra thought of absolutely everything I needed her to think of and more! And no matter how well a wedding is planned, there are always weird things that pop up as you get to the finish line and during the wedding itself--Tyra handled all of those so my hubby and I could enjoy the day. She had absolutely everything covered to the point that I actually felt a bit guilty about how little I did because, hello, that's my personality. As for Tyra's personality--well, she's the best. Super duper friendly, professional and like a good BFF, not afraid to give it to you straight. Highly, highly recommend. P.S.--This was a second wedding for my hubby and I, and it was a very small group. If you figure you don't need a planner because your wedding is going to be intimate, you're wrong. Trust me when I tell you that you still need someone to coordinate with the vendors, make sure the ceremony musicians aren't dead, talk you through a tuxedo crisis, and literally sprint to jump into your officiant's car, who is lost and driving around the mall looking for the venue. ;)

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.

I am more than just a wedding photographer. I am also your hype woman, go-to for all wedding planning questions and day-of help, and #1 cheerleader during the wedding planning process. Ask any of my past couples... I will definitely be on the dance floor at your reception! I pride myself on helping my clients feel comfortable in front of my lens. You would not believe how many times clients have told me they don't like taking photos or "aren't photogenic," and then end up loving their photos! I am based in the DC area, and central Texas.

Anna was recommended to me by one of my childhood friends and I could not have had a better photographer. I really felt like she wanted to know me and my personality before the wedding day so she could reflect us in her photography. She did an amazing job!! I was especially touched how she did research on our venue (Washington D.C. Temple) so she could appropriately cater to the building’s uniqueness and magnify how special it is to me and my husband. The pictures she took of it came out beautifully! I would recommend Anna Romani’s photography to anyone celebrating a great thing in their life. From her kindness to her master skill, she is everything you could need in a wedding photographer and more!

Daniela Zapata Photography is dedicated to capturing joy in every frame, and love in every moment. The DZP wedding experience includes thoughtful timeline planning, stress-free posing, and professional guidance every step of the way. I did my job right if your grandkids fight over your wedding photos one day (in a loving way, of course).

We chose Daniela to photograph our wedding day – she was absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish! When we were deciding to book with her, she took time to understand our vision and make sure we were a good fit. Daniela came prepared and organized to every meeting, crafting our shot list and what we wanted to capture for our big day. Daniela took time to come to the rehearsal dinner and took fantastic candid photos. On the big day, Daniela and her second photographer Kranthi were so helpful – capturing getting ready and the big moments before during and after the ceremony. The photos turned out incredible – they captured our vision and our day perfectly. Daniela’s energy was also fantastic; she brought a bright and energetic vibe that made her a delight to work with. We would recommend Daniela for ANY event – she is a fantastic photographer and you will not regret choosing her.

We used Mahani Events for our wedding vow renewal and reception and have nothing but positive things to say about our experience. Priyanna and her team were so wonderful throughout our whole journey. My husband and I decided to go with her partial planning package, as we had already started hiring most of our vendors and were becoming overwhelmed by the amount of communication we were receiving all the time. As soon as we finished hiring everyone, Priyanna took over all communications with them and kept out mind at ease. Priyanna is an amazing human to work with. She is detail orientated, creative, kind, and extremely personable. She made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Our special day would not have been complete without Priyanna and her team. Thank you Mahani Events for making our dreams come true.

Designs by Oochay provides floral and event decor services for all of life's celebrations. We service events in the Washington, DC area, and beyond. Our services include floral arrangements, rentals, event design, draping, event production, and more. With a strong focus on creating memorable client experiences while thinking outside the box to create one of a kind events, puts us as one of the top leading floral and decor company's in the Washington, DC area. Featured in national publications such as Martha Stewart Weddings, Washingtonian Weddings, Munaluchi Bride, B Collective Magazine, and more.

It's hard to do anything but rave aboutUche and her team - Uche is incredibly creative, a consumate professional, and moreover just an all around awesome human being to work with. From the beginning, she was super responsive and took the time to help me figure out the look for my wedding (I wasn't starting from much - just knew I wanted a "secret garden" type feel). In our first conversation alone I knew she had a vision, and told her to go with it. The execution was so far above and beyond our expectations that words can't describe it. I loved and really appreciated the thoughtful proposal Uche put together (and changed several times at my annoying requests), but I really couldn't have imagined how beautiful everything would be the day of. We got married at District Winery, and Uche and her team took FULL advantage of the blank canvas-esque space, complete with hanging greenery installations and the most beautiful altar piece I've ever seen. My bouquet was also gorgeous - as were my bridesmaids', and the boutonnieres were amazing. I honestly had friends coming up to me telling me they loved the florals even more than what they had at their own weddings! Not only was the end result day-of perfect, but I know that Uche and her team worked tirelessly to get it done. When we had our rehearsal at the venue the afternoon before, they were there getting a head start (what other wedding vendor would do that!?) I could go on forever about how incredible Uche is (like the fact that she hosted my mom and I at her studio for over an hour to patiently talk through details, even as she was prepping for a big wedding the next day), but the bottom line is that if you want top notch creativity and professionalism all in one, you can't go wrong with Designs by Oochay. One final thing - a friend/guest of ours happened to be a former client of Uche's, and Uche made a specific point to find her at the end of the evening to say hello and give her a hug (which my friend was super excited about), even though it was after midnight and she was trying to disassemble everything - which I thought truly showed how warm and gracious she is, as well as how much her former clients love her!

  • Fine art style
  • Serves Laurel, MD

I've really come to value the unexpected, intimate moments that take place on a wedding day. The hug your mom gives you before you leave your dressing room. The tear that falls down his cheek when he sees you walking down the aisle. The way the two of you lean your heads together during the toasts. This day is about more than the flowers and the shoes you chose. It's about celebrating the start of a new family. It's an honor to play a part in such a significant day and I hope you'll choose me to be a part of yours!

Working with Brigitte was a dream! Brigitte was so easy to work with, responsive and helped make my now-husband and I so comfortable through all the photos. Plus her sneak peeks arrived so quickly and the pictures thus far are amazing! Everyone has noted they look straight out of a magazine - just gorgeous! I strongly recommend Brigitte!

Steve Broy Videography 

5.0

  • Videographer
  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Laurel, MD

Growing up with a passion for skateboarding provided me with a creative view of the world around me. I've been taking pictures professionally for about 8 years and I'm inspired by the music I listen to and those that I love being creative with. I have also photographed many different subjects, scenes, and moments! There's a picture around every corner.

Steve Broy Videography provided exceptional service and captured our wedding day beautifully. From our first interaction, he was thoughtful, responsive, and kind, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. The quality of his work is great - his artistic and creative approach resulted in a video that is both touching and visually captivating. On the day of our wedding, Steve was punctual, enthusiastic, and friendly, seamlessly capturing the special moments at both our ceremony and reception locations. We are thrilled with the lasting memories he created for us at a great value. We highly recommend Steve Broy Videography to any couple looking for a talented and professional videographer to document their big day.

HEY THERE! MY NAME IS KLAIRE, AND I'M A FINE ART WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER BASED RIGHT OUTSIDE OF WASHINGTON, D.C. Elegantly refined details and family heirlooms make my heart pitter patter on a wedding day. I take on a select number of weddings every year to treat every couple with the utmost care as if they're old friends - I always cry happy tears on wedding days! I am eternally grateful to work with couples and capture beautiful images on their wedding day. My highest priority is to strengthen marriages with imagery that will remind them of how their unique story began.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so grateful we had Klaire shoot our wedding! She was everything we wanted in a wedding photographer and more: professional, talented, very organized, experienced, and CALM. Her presence on our wedding day was one of joy and calm, which helped us relax and enjoy the day even more. When something would throw the schedule off, Klaire was able to adapt quickly and make it all work out without any stress, which was truly a gift. She captured more beautiful shots than we could’ve asked for and shared so much valuable advice from her experience with weddings throughout our planning and the day of the wedding. We 100% recommend Klaire!
