Lorton, VA
  • Planner
  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $3,500

I'm a 30-something born and bred NOVA gal that's probably a little too brazen to be in the wedding industry but nearly seven years later, I'm still in it to win it! I've coordinated over 280 weddings & managed even more for venues! So I've seen some $#!t and have learned all of the tricks of the trade. When I'm not being a boss bitch on wedding days, I love to thrift shop, go paddle boarding, watch true crime, get tattoos and travel.

We hired Meghan Farrar as our day of coordinator for our April wedding at Rust Manor and would highly recommend couples hire her. From the very start, Meghan made us feel like we were her only clients. Her attention to detail was impeccable, and her organization skills were truly next level. Meghan was an organized, kind, reassuring voice for us while planning the wedding. She was also the only coordinator to let us know Virginia’s residency requirement regarding officiants. Meghan was super familiar with Rust Manor. In the countdown to our wedding, Meghan checked in to make sure things were going well, answer any questions we have, and organize us for the walkthrough. Though we hired Meghan primarily for the day of our wedding, she was available to us throughout the planning process. In the month run up to our wedding, Meghan greatly assisted us in organizing the little details of the day and coordinating with our vendors, many of whom had worked previously with her and were excited to work with her again. Prior to our wedding, Meghan coordinated with our various POCs for vendors and the venue, making sure they knew who to reach out to on the day of our wedding and the timing of the day. Additionally, Meghan helped us through some last minute changes due to unexpected events. She was incredibly accommodating and reassuring. On the day of our wedding, Meghan was everything we needed her to be and more. She managed to keep us on schedule, comfortable, and immensely helped our stress. Her kind words and warm personality shined throughout the day and made our wedding day all the more special. We would recommend Meghan for any future wedding. If you’re looking for someone who will not only meet but exceed your expectations, Meghan is your go-to.

Genesis Delight Catering

Lorton, VA
  • Caterer

Our highly experienced design team is ready to help you create the wedding of your dreams. Choose from our fully inclusive wedding packages or request a custom menu and designer touches to best fit your vision. In addition to our delicious and unique cuisine, our team can also assist you with vendor referrals, rentals, linens, place settings, beverages and event event coordination.

We worked with Genesis Delight Catering at the recommendation of our venue manager at Sweeney Barn. We formed a close working relationship with Dianna over the course of wedding planning, as we also contracted her as our day of coordinator through her event planning business, Sublime Event Coordination. GDC and Dianna have a strong working knowledge of Sweeney Barn and close working relationships with the venue manager, which makes them a great option if you're having your wedding there. Pros of our experience with GDC: -They have an extensive menu and are willing to be flexible to match your vision. My family is predominantly located in New York, and New York weddings tend to have very over the top cocktail hours. That was not common in the standard packages offered by the caterers we spoke to in Virginia. However, through the use of their extensive party platter options and Dianna's expertise, we were able to add more into the cocktail hour than the standard options and still stay within budget. It wasn't a New York cocktail hour, but there were plenty of options and no one went hungry. -GDC provided the bar (which honestly wasn't overly expensive and saved us the pain of having to coordinate bringing our own alcohol, which no one wants to deal with on the day of their wedding) and worked with us on identifying signature cocktails that could be batched by their bartenders based on our preferences. They also worked with us to swap out some of their standard wine and liquor options to similarly priced items that we enjoy. -Sweeney Barn only has a warming kitchen, and we appreciated Dianna working with us to ensure that we could still have a small dance set at the start of our reception without impacting the quality of the food. -GDC works directly with rental companies, saving you the trouble (we rented Chiavari chairs), and they have nice complementary table setting options. Props to Dianna for identifying a floral napkin option in stock to fit with our overall decor theme! -Staff made sure the bride and groom were taken care of at all times, which was a really nice touch. We received many compliments on the food, including the presentation of entrees at dinner. Strongly recommend GDC, especially if you're working at one of their frequented venues like Sweeney Barn, to make your planning and execution as seamless as possible.

If I could give above a 5 star review, I would. Kelyn, with Timeless Video, brought the energy you want on your wedding day. We felt so supported and comfortable having her be a part of our day. Hiring Timeless and having Kelyn was hands down one of the best decisions we made on our wedding day. From our very first conversation, she was very warm and professional. On the day itself, she felt more like friends than a vendor. Ultimate hype person and made sure every special moment was captured beautifully. The final video blew us away. The way they pieced together the emotions, laughter, tears and every little in between moment was honestly magical. You always hope you can relive your wedding day with footage and we sure did! Our family and friends haven't stopped raving about how incredible Kelyn was and how our footage turned out--also how much of a BLAST she had during Greek dancing! We would book with Timeless 1,000 times over. Thank you for making our day so special!

We worked with Francisco as our day-of wedding coordinator at the Josephine Butler Parks Center, and we cannot recommend him highly enough! From the moment we started working with him, he was incredibly thorough, organized, and clearly genuinely invested in making our wedding day as smooth and joyful as possible. In the months leading up to the wedding, Francisco helped walk us through the big checklist items for planning a wedding, ensuring we didn’t overlook a single detail while always being respectful of our choices and vision. His communication over email was always timely and clear, and our planning phone calls were always productive, efficient, and fun! One of the most valuable things he did was create a comprehensive vendor packet that centralized all final details—this was a game-changer! We didn’t have to worry about keeping track of updates or managing version control, as he seamlessly handled all communication and coordination with our vendors. His understanding of the venue layout, the timing with our photographer, and the logistics of transporting wedding items made the final decisions stress-free. We trusted him completely, and every detail turned out exactly as we’d hoped—or better! When it came time for the wedding weekend itself, Francisco expertly ran our rehearsal, navigating family dynamics with calm professionalism and making sure everyone felt comfortable and confident. On the wedding day, Francisco was a calm and reassuring presence, quietly in charge and gracefully keeping everything on track. As someone who’s very Type A and typically likes to stay on top of everything, I was amazed by how much I was able to relax and simply enjoy the day because I knew Francisco would be handling it all. Thanks to him, we could focus on celebrating with our loved ones, knowing everything was in the best hands. If you’re looking for someone who will bring warmth, expertise, and a true sense of calm to your wedding day, Francisco is your person. He made our wedding a dream come true, and we wouldn’t change a single thing. (Photos courtesy of Paperbird Photography!)

My hair and makeup plan fell through just 5 days before my big event (my husband's 40th with over 100 guests), so after emailing a bunch of makeup and hair companies in the area, only Best Face Forward replied. It was wedding season (October) but they managed to squeeze me in and I made it to my event on time with no stress! Norma came to my house and she worked fast with great results; the pictures speak for themselves! She did exactly what I asked for: a soft glam look that still looked like me. My friends and family were all complimenting me at the party and I felt so gorgeous. I was nervous about doing professional makeup but Norma made me look so amazing! Norma really made all the difference for me and I felt so beautiful while celebrating my husband on his 40th.

We just received our full wedding gallery and WOW— Nina and her second photographer, Darcy, did such a wonderful job capturing our day. Nina has an excellent eye. Each photo is masterfully composed and the colors are rich. Our gallery had the perfect mix of candids and posed shots. Nina captured so many special moments we weren’t able to experience or see ourselves! We had so much fun going through the gallery and sending our guests the photos they were in. She truly captured the joyous feeling of the day and going through the photos feels like reliving it. Nina is also a great communicator. She is timely in her responses and clear about her process and what to expect. She also makes sure to ask questions about what you want as a couple. We felt calm and comfortable with her.

Hiring Annemarie was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding. I was incredibly picky when choosing a photographer and talked to over twenty photographers before deciding on Annemarie. Her calmness, attention to detail, photography style, and clarity in communication made her the perfect photographer for any couple. When I look back on our wedding photos, I feel as if I am reliving the day over and over again because she did such an amazing job capturing the raw, unfiltered, real moments of the day. My husband does not love poised photographs and not only did Annemarie get him to do it, she was also able to beautifully capture the little moments in between. Annemarie was respectful, kind to our guests, and ensured every photograph I wanted was captured (and even was able to photoshop a photo or two that I forgot in the craziness!). She went above and beyond for our day, staying longer than originally intended and hiring an extra second. I loved working with her and truly could not recommend Annemarie more highly and will be using her services for all future events!

Awarded Best of Zola
My daughter was married in September 2025, and since she lives in Australia while we are in the United States, planning her wedding initially felt impossible. The time difference and distance made it so difficult to coordinate, but thankfully, she and her fiancé found Lissa. From the very beginning, Lissa worked closely with them staying in constant communication, and offering thoughtful guidance every step of the way. As the mother of the bride, I cannot imagine how I would have managed without her support across two continents. Lissa gave us the reassurance that everything would be handled, and she delivered exactly that. On the wedding day, everything came together flawlessly, and it was truly perfect. Lissa’s tireless dedication, organization, and professionalism made all the difference. I highly recommend her, and trust me, you will not regret working with her. Lissa is, without question, exceptional.

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
We couldn’t have asked for a better videographer for our wedding! From start to finish, Andi was professional, dedicated, and incredibly thoughtful, ensuring that our special day was captured beautifully. Right after we signed the contract, she sent us a detailed questionnaire to get to know us as a couple—our story, our style, and the specific moments we wanted to highlight. This level of preparation reassured us that she truly cared about making the video personal and meaningful. About a month before the wedding, she proactively reached out to request the venue’s floor plan, demonstrating her commitment to planning ahead and making sure every shot was perfectly thought out. On the wedding day, Andi arrived an hour early to get familiar with the space and even took some breathtaking outdoor shots before the festivities began. Her presence was so natural and unobtrusive, allowing us to fully enjoy the day while she captured everything seamlessly. Throughout the event, she worked tirelessly to document not just the big moments but also the little details and emotions that made our wedding unique. One of the things that makes Andi truly stand out is her background as a former reporter and documentary filmmaker. Her storytelling skills are evident in every frame—she has a keen eye for capturing genuine emotions and weaving them together into a narrative that feels raw, real, and deeply personal. She didn’t just record our wedding; she told our story in the most beautiful and authentic way. When we received our wedding video, we were absolutely blown away. It was beyond anything we could have imagined—every moment was beautifully filmed and edited, creating a cinematic and heartfelt masterpiece that we will cherish forever. What truly stood out was Andi’s creative touch—she included interesting and unexpected moments that showcased her artistic eye and deep understanding of human connection. Most importantly, the video felt authentically us—it captured the emotions, the joy, and the essence of our relationship perfectly. We are beyond grateful for Andi’s work, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and passionate wedding videographer. If you want someone who truly cares about your story and will go above and beyond to create a stunning wedding film, Andi is the one to choose!

She was an incredible photographer for our engagement in DC during the cherry blossoms. I booked her remotely and she was even nice enough to find the perfect spot to propose before we arrived; it was a beautiful tree and there was nobody around just like I asked her. The pictures were absolutely amazing too as she toured us around the Basin after the proposal.
