Aside from my love for all-things-events-and-weddings, I am a cat mom, dog mom (to the best dog ever, truly), goofy type-A (yes, we exist). I love everything coffee, purple, and vintage; I almost never go somewhere without red lipstick. And you’ll probably see me somewhere in downtown Frederick at least twice a week. The SBD team has a team of Leads and Assistants of all backgrounds but we all share a love for logistics and supporting couples on their special day!

Sarah and Sarah were amazing to work with! From day 1 we felt very comfortable with Owner, Sarah Rosier. She is very easy to talk to and super knowledgeable. She never makes you feel rushed and answers all of your questions. On the day of our wedding we worked with both Sarah Rosier and Sarah Rose. Both Sarah's were so helpful and ensured our big day went smooth. We were able to have so much fun and enjoy the moment because we knew Sarah and Sarah were taking care of everything. I highly recommend using SBD&E - especially if you are getting married at Union Mills Public House in Frederick, MD. SBD&E does a ton of events there, so they know the space like the back of their hand. It made everything so seamless and I could not imagine getting married without SBD&E! In the photo below, what you don't see is Sarah Rosier standing across from up giving us step by step instructions on the best way to cut the cake (it is harder than it looks lol!)... talk about attention to detail and making sure even the small details of the cake cutting were covered! Choose SBD&E as your wedding coordinator, you won't regret it!

As a fellow vendor, Megan and her team are PHENOMENAL to work with! Communication was extraordinary as well as response time. I would send an email and get a response within the hour. She checked in multiple times during my service session and ensured that my team and I had everything we needed and were comfortable. She became the right hand of the bride and it was so great to see how they vibed together. Megan was in touch and checking in with the family members, bride & groom, and all vendors and had a great rapport with everyone. She is complete sunshine to work with - always smiling and responsive and happy to help. She made the experience wonderful for family, clients, guests, and vendors alike. I hope to work with her again in the future.

My love for floral design began inside the horticulture classroom at my high school. That classroom played a pivotal role in allowing me to be creative in ways that I never had been before. When I left for college, My goal was to study business in order to operate my own Floral Business but I quickly lost track of that dream. The pandemic served as a wake up call for me just like it did for so many others. Allowing me to rediscover my love for flowers and all things beautiful. Bazarr Blossoms is more than a business its a passion that allows me to stay true to that teenager who once created and dreamed inside that high school classroom.

We had a wonderful experience with Bazarr Blossoms. Bazarr was so collaborative and really listened and incorporated our preferences into our wedding day florals. She was able to make adjustments later in our event planning process which was a huge relief. Also, she was able to respond to issues that presented themselves day-of beautifully. I loved my bouquet and all the greenery and candles for our ceremony and dining space was so perfect.

Mike DJ'd my wedding in May 2023, and he is THE BEST. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Mike was very responsive, easy and fun to plan with, and great with communication leading up to the wedding. On the day of the wedding, we didn't need to touch base with him because we were confident he had everything covered. We had some interesting song requests, specific timing for certain songs, etc., and Mike handled everything perfectly. He was the perfect MC to help facilitate the grand march, speeches, dances, and dinner, and he kept the party going all night! We highly, highly recommend Mike!

My goal is to make sure every video I create represents you as the couple exactly as you are and tells the story of your day in a way that preserves the emotion and memories for years to come. I love to work with people from all walks of life and am inclusive of every type of love story. As I grow in my art and in my business, I find myself leaning more and more toward authenticity. During your day, I want to capture your true selves, therefore I do very little posing or staging. I will gently guide you during couples portraits, or point you toward the best light, but other than that, I strive to be as unobstrusive as possible.

We chose to work with Livvy following a glowing recommendation from our photographer… and we could not have been happier! From the start, Livvy was kind, warm, professional and communicative. She happily answered all of our questions and were impressed from the start. We loved being able to film our Love Story before the wedding, to also give us an opportunity to really get to know Livvy before our wedding day. She put our story together so eloquently and so quickly! We were immediately blown away with the quality of her work and the time it took her to get it to us. Livvy appeared genuinely excited and happy to be a part of our team as our wedding approached and continued to check in with us as our wedding approached. She brought this energy to our wedding day and it just truly felt like she was meant to be there. After the wedding, Livvy quickly put together our teaser video for us to enjoy before leaving on our honeymoon two days later. She simply nailed it and it held us over to when we got our final wedding video- which left us in the happiest of tears. Livvy told our wedding story in a way that just left our jaws on the floor. She really captured who we are as a couple, and we are just in awe of how eloquently everything came together. We are SO thankful and grateful we had Livvy as a member of our wedding vendor team. We cannot recommend her enough!!! :)

Ostertag Vistas was the best choice for us. We are so grateful for Donna, the venue owner and her staff for a day we will never forget. The views were amazing, everywhere. The Barn was just what we were looking for, all of our friends and family loved it. We cannot say enough positive things about our experience. Donna was very professional, detail oriented, and super to work with. She gave us exactly what we asked for and everything we didn't know we needed. Terry, our Ostertag Wedding Coordinator, made perfect recommendations based on who we are, and filled in with so many details we didn't even know to ask about. The staff as well were extremely friendly and easy to work with from the Bartender to the Parking Attendants and especially the Wait Staff. After our wedding, our families and guests could not say enough good things about our wedding day at Ostertag. We had 120 guests and a wedding party of 4 bridesmaids and 4 groomsmen. We had our ceremony at Fernwood, surrounded by gorgeous trees and a storybook brook, it was like a fairytale! We rented their arbor, and barn doors for the ceremony, perfect for making this space a magical dream come true. Our cocktail hour was on the Patio and our guests could also go into the Stable making this hour very spacious and inviting. When it was time for our reception, the staff escorted our guest to the main barn and helped our elderly grandparents with the escorted golf cart. The golf cart was also used to help our Grandparents get to the ceremony site and back to the cocktail hour, it was wonderful not to worry about how we would help them around that day. The main dining room in the Barn was setup by the Ostertag staff and when we entered, we were in ahh, everything looked amazing and just perfect. I will never forget our first dance. Our sweetheart table was setup in front of the fireplace, it was so intimate and just perfect! We provided the decor along with some Ostertag rentals, Terry and her staff placed it all together for the perfect setting. After dinner service, the staff moved our wedding cake to the middle of the dance floor for our formal cake cutting, they then sliced and served our cake to the guests as we danced the night away. The staff provided a perfect Coffee Station with Tea and Hot Chocolate for our guests to enjoy as well. Everything flowed well and as planned, and guests were easily able to move around and find everything. Again, I cannot say enough about how wonderful this venue was. The day of our wedding, I did not feel stressed or worried about any details coming together because I knew everything was prepared and being taken care of by Donna, Terry, and their capable staff. They gave us our dream day that my husband and I will never forget and will treasure forever.

Our ceremony sounds was absolutely perfect and the microphones were sooo easy to use and captured all the sound perfectly. Jon was great at making announcements, (even though it wasn't planned) like when he had to tell people to go to cocktail hour. We also had a photobooth package with him and the attendant did such a great job running the booth. It was definitely the most popular event and our families still raves about the pictures they took! From the moment we met Jon, he was just so easy to talk to and knew exactly what we wanted for the day when we shared our vision. Jon is so professional, supportive, and positive, and I can't imagine having someone else on our special day. He is definitely worth the money and I would hire him again without a doubt for any event!

Glen Ellen Farm is gorgeous! The venue was amazing. All our guests complimented the beauty of Glen Ellen, and our pictures are beautiful.

Ceresville Mansion was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the beginning, the staff was caring, quick to respond, and considerate of all our requests. The venue itself is an amazing space, with beautiful gardens that provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. The all-inclusive package they offered was an incredible value, and the vendors they recommended were truly outstanding. They worked with us to make so many custom requests a reality, and our wedding day was more beautiful and amazing than we could have even dreamed of. The food was insanely good, and the entire team at Ceresville Mansion contributed to making our wedding day absolutely perfect.

After years of family portraits and children portraits, I’ve dipped my toes in the waters of wedding and elopement photography. I love capturing love, your story and the message of love still exists in such a tumultuous world. Love makes other cry, laugh and smile in the joy of what your celebrating. Of all these things, put on love…..My approach is simple. I’m there for you. That’s it. -ana

Ana captured our maternity shoot in a beautiful field during sunset. She did an amazing job at making my husband and me feel totally at ease the whole time. I’m incredibly grateful for these precious memories of my first pregnancy. The photos were edited and sent back super fast. They made us both cry—we just love how they turned out! Thanks Ana!

Maryland National was the PERFECT venue for our wedding! From the very beginning, Reghan and the whole team were incredible. Reghan went above and beyond to help us plan everything – she was so easy to work with and always had the best recommendations. I loved how easy it was to communicate with her through email. We got married at our church, but had the reception at Maryland National. They even let us use the club to get ready since our church didn't have a space! The girls got ready upstairs, and the guys used the locker rooms, which was amazing for getting-ready photos. Plus, the food was delicious! What we loved most was that we didn't have to set up or clean up anything – Maryland National took care of it all. We didn't even have to take decorations home the night of the wedding! We could pick them up the next day. It was the most perfect day, and we can't thank Reghan and the staff enough. Seriously, if you're looking for an amazing venue, this is it!

Caroline and her team provided the flowers for our recent wedding at Brookside Gardens and they were absolutely breathtaking! We provided some inspiration photos as well as our wedding colors, and we could not believe how stunning the flowers were… Just look at those colors!

One of the best decisions we made was to hire Desmond and team. They went above and beyond our expectations. They were so easy to work with. We had to postpone our wedding twice because of Covid-19, they were so accommodating. They did not only created a great video of our wedding, they also told our story. Desmond and team – thank you all again so much! You can hire a wedding videographer to capture your day but it is hard to find a great filmmaker to tell your story. Don't think twice, hire Desmond and his team let them capture your story, you won't regret it!
