We had our wedding in the ballroom. Very scenic and beautiful venue! Overall a pretty good venue that includes food, tables, chairs, linens, etc. The ballroom house itself is beautiful with lots of light indoors due to the large windows, and a nice deck for an outside ceremony. Zoe communicated with us and answered all our questions and did our tasting and planning, until a week before the actual day where we were assigned a day of coordinator. I found this system to be not great, since the day of coordinator was essentially a stranger that you've never talked to at all, and you basically have to re explain everything you want. Even though they have an online planning tool (which is old and outdated), I found that they got our aisle directions wrong, the reception layout wrong, and our dinner meals were wrong. Thankfully, we had a separate planner that was able to correct these things, so I recommend getting an outside coordinator that works directly with you if you have room in the budget. Another thing was our limited setup time of 1.5 hours meaning the florist and other vendors couldn't set up earlier with more elaborate decorations and had to do something simple. I found out that this is because they had another wedding at the same place before ours (literally ending at 4) and so they rush to get the place cleaned for the evening wedding. The main room and the suit was renovated, but the bathrooms were all still dingy and not the best/cleanest to use. The food was good though, better than we had at our tasting and they got it out fast. Our vendors were fed the same food, and our guests thought it was pretty good wedding food. Apart from the couple hiccups we had, we thought the venue was great overall and really beautiful and we don't regret having our wedding there at all. It could be a little bit better in the small details for the price though.

Events are a part of everyone’s lives. Weddings in particular are an important event that many of us get to experience hosting just one time in our life. A wedding is also widely known as one of the most stressful days of your life – that’s where we come in. Between the two of us we have planned over 185 weddings from the day after engagement all the way to closing the car door as the couple leaves for their honeymoon.

Behind the most incredible day of our lives was the most amazing wedding planner, Megan, making it all happen. Since the day we booked her, she scheduled meetings, contacted vendors, provided advice and ideas, kept us organized, created our invitations, answered all of our questions, and much more. Then come wedding day, she brought our entire vision to life. She checked in on us throughout the day, meticulously placed every detail, brought us drinks during photos, and ultimately became an incredible friend through the entire process. I seriously cannot recommend Megan and Ludic events enough if you want the most incredible and stress free event that everyone will talk about for years to come.

We are a women owned and operated flower studio specializing in weddings and special events in Baltimore, Annapolis and the Eastern Shore of Maryland. In 1977 Winnie Maher (my mom) opened the doors to Maher's Florist for the first time. Growing up in the business I created a great love for the art of floral design and have perfected my craft, along with employing other fabulous floral designers to create a premiere team. Shopping Local and caring for the environment are very important to us, so we source from local farms and use eco-friendly products whenever possible.

I was very pleased with Maher’s for my wedding florals. From the start, JoAnn was easy to talk to and listened to my needs and wants regarding my wedding florals. She put together different packages/quotes for us to review before deciding what we truly wanted and what was in budget for us. After receiving our quote, I put together my own visual of how the flowers would turn out, and was very pleased. Then, when I saw them in person, they were way better than I could have imagined! The colors were so vibrant and the mix was perfectly balanced. The variety of colors and sizing of flowers really made the bouquets pop! Also, I should mention that the boutonnières were magnetic!??!!? Very practical and stress free! All of our wedding guests were raving about the arrangements and are still talking about them post-wedding.

I take on limited weddings each year. If your date is available — let’s talk.

Aira and her fellow photographer did a wonderful job at our wedding. They were able to capture the entire evening from start to finish, starting with getting ready and ending with our mock send off.

My work blends editorial sensibility with emotional honesty. Think expressive color, playful imagination, and images that feel like they’re humming with soul. I’m here to make you feel seen, safe, and celebrated - because the best art happens when you’re allowed to simply be yourself. You bring the story; I’ll build the vision.

If you want to feel like a partner in your own wedding's photo journey, then Laura is the perfect choice.

From the very start CJ was amazing to work with! He is very easy to communicate with and super responsive to any questions. He has a worksheet to fill out with any specific songs for certain parts of the evening or for the reception dance floor, and by the end of the night he had gotten to every requested song. He was even able to throw in the Eagles fight song for the groom! There were a few moments in the night that we let CJ decide the music for and he chose the perfect songs to fit the vibe. He was great at reading the dance floor and adjusting to the crowd, and he had some fun mixes of well known songs to switch things up. On more than one occasion our guests raved about CJ through the night, and we couldn't have been happier with his work.

Lauren did an amazing job as the sole makeup artist for my wedding day. She did my makeup as well as 8 others and executed all the looks perfectly! I did a trial with Lauren a few months before my wedding which was really nice to go over all the options and discuss the look I was going for. Closer to the wedding day, I decided I wanted to change up the eye makeup palette for the wedding. I reached out to Lauren letting her know and sent her and inspiration pic. She was so supportive of the change and on the day of she CRUSHED IT. The execution truly exceeded my expectations. Another important callout is the makeup lasted all night: through the ceremony, reception, dancing, sweating, and the after-party! I had a friend comment at 1 am (12 hours after the makeup was applied) saying how it still looked perfect. I'm not sure I can praise Lauren enough. I felt so beautiful, yet still felt like myself. Even months after the wedding looking at my makeup, I have no regrets. Thank you Lauren for making me feel so beautiful!

We got married at Annapolis Maritime Museum & Park and couldn't have asked for a better venue. From our first conversation, the team was responsive and easy to work with- they answered every question we had in a calm, straightforward way. The space itself is stunning, with those open waterfront views that made our ceremony feel special without us having to do much decorating. They even coordinated drop-off for our decor, which saved us so much stress on the day of. The whole experience felt effortless, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the location was. 10/10 recommend if you're looking for a venue with genuine people who care about making your wedding day perfect.

Atalie Day Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,600
  • Serves Pasadena, MD

I live for documenting the connections between people—the genuine, unscripted, deeply human moments that tell a real story. I’m a wedding photographer with a fine art meets photojournalism style, which I began to cultivate while attending the Corcoran College of Art + Design in DC. I believe in “happily ever afters” because I found mine with my husband, Jared. We've been married for 20 years. I love photographing couples who (like me) have found their person—their best friend, partner, and soulmate. My mission is to capture love in its purest form and turn it into timeless art you’ll cherish forever.

It’s hard to put into words how amazingly talented Atalie is - from her impeccable ability to capture the most candid and happiest moments, to making sure everyone feels comfortable and beautiful in front of the camera, to bringing an upbeat yet calming vibe, to making you feel like you’re reliving your wedding day each time you look at your photos (which she gets back to you in record timing!). Thank you Atalie for giving my husband and I the most beautiful photos that we will treasure forever. We you!

KC Artistry was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding day! From the start, Krystal and her team were fast, communicative, and incredibly friendly. As the bride, the hair and makeup they did for me brought me to literal tears - I have never felt so beautiful and confident. Krystal and her team of incredibly talented hair stylists and makeup artists were a joy to have in the bridal suite. They handled my huge bridal party of 10 with such efficiency and ease. All of my bridesmaids and my mom loved their hair and makeup looks. Everyone looked stunning. Krystal was so amazing to work with and if I had to do it all over again, I would 100% use KC Artistry. I recommend them to everyone and will use them in the future for other events.
