Poquoson, VA
  • Beauty professional

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.

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!

DJ Karizma Entertainment is a professional and interactive DJ and MC service originally from Belize (Central America/ Caribbean), currently serving weddings and special events throughout Virginia and beyond. They have been providing epic wedding entertainment services internationally since 2009 and have been based out of Virginia since the fall of 2017.

Awarded Best of Zola
We chose DJ Karizma for our February wedding in Va Beach this year and first things first, his organization, communication and responsiveness were top tier. He had ceremony and reception worksheets, and song suggestions for us to review and complete which made it very easy to communicate all of our music preferences. He responded within a day or two to any questions that we had via email and text. We had a lot of expectations for our DJ such as the specific songs we chose for the ceremony, the grand entrances, reception and dance floor. We asked him to also add in some reggae vibes and all of his selections were a perfect fit for our guests. We needed his MC assistance with announcements for the audio guestbook and QR codes for the seating chart and disposable camera photo capture. He covered these announcements during cocktail hour as expected. He made sure all those that were giving a toast/speech were prepped and ready for their turn. He announced all of big moments such as the cake cutting, family dances, bouquet toss, garter toss..etc. He hosted our Photo Table Dash game and co-hosted our mini Newlywed game and his energy and enthusiasm were just what our celebration needed! We were impressed with him staying on top of everything we asked for. Our only disappointment was due to where the venue had the DJ set up (behind a curtain which obstructed his view) so our grand entrance music was cut short unexpectedly. We wish we would have communicated our expectation better with the venue as they were our day of coordinators and were supposed to be the DJ's "eyes." However, we would choose DJ Karizma again without hesitation for future events. Thank you so much DJ Karizma for making our wedding fun, hype and such a delight!!!!

She absolutely made my vision come to life, is incredibly easy to work with, and extremely talented! I've never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day, and that is how every bride should feel. I recommended Prissy for my best friend's wedding, and she pulled off even more magic.

We were thrilled with the service we received from Signature DJs for our wedding. Kellie was quick to respond to all of our questions and always ready to help, no matter how small the request. She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and complimentary throughout the entire planning process.

Thinking about having your good friend officiate your big day for you, but unsure of how they will do? Well what if your good friend was a professional with over 2,300 weddings under their belt? That's the best way to describe what we shoot for at MBE ... being the good friend that definitely knows what to do when the moment counts! Whether you plan to have an intimate elopement ceremony or if you've been working on your dream wedding for months, we'd love to help you make your day one to truly remember. Our goals are to help you decide exactly what you want to do on your big day and to do everything we can to make it come to life!

One of the most complimented parts of our entire wedding day was our ceremony, and that’s all thanks to our incredible officiant, Evan. From the beginning, we knew we wanted a ceremony that felt meaningful and personal, and Evan delivered that and so much more. He met with us ahead of time, walked us through everything, and really took the time to understand our story. When the big day came, he absolutely nailed it. He shared our love story in such a heartfelt and light-hearted way, beautifully weaving in some of my favorite scripture. There was laughter, happy tears, and so much joy…he truly set the tone for the rest of the day, and helped calm my nerves more than he probably realized. To top it all off, Evan is a true jack of all trades, his company also offers bartending services! Right after the ceremony, he jumped behind the bar and kept the good vibes going. So many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed chatting with him and how great the service was. If you're looking for someone who can do it all,and do it with heart….Evan is your guy.

I am obsessed with Tiffany! She photographed our destination elopement and easily was one of the highlights of our day. She was flexible, knowledgeable, and helped us plan out how we wanted our special day to go. When our initial plans were rained out, she was quick to assist with problem solving and just be down for the adventure which made the whole process stress-free. My husband and I have never been the types to be comfortable in front of the camera, but she made the session fun and the product is some truly stunning photographs. Since our elopement, Tiffany has become our go-to photographer. She has done couples, maternity, and family portraits for various loved ones and is always a pleasure to work with. She’s great at working with everyone from the oldest to the youngest of our family, the most stoic to the most rambunctious. She’s amazing at digging out those authentic smiles and making you feel at ease. She’s professional, creative, and just a genuinely kind human. I recommend her to everyone.

Hello!! I am Camille! I am passionate about preserving every moment from your special day - particularly those intimate moments of togetherness amid the crazy! ❤️ I am an introvert and more on the quiet side, but I can wrangle a crowd if I need to. 😉 If you like goofy comedies, folk and pop music, and loving people how Jesus does, we'll get along just perfectly! I accept everyone and take nothing too seriously! I prefer to capture everyone in sweet and candid looking moments rather than being traditionally posed but I do a bit of both! I would love to get to know you and your future spouse - just send me a message any time!

Harvest Moon Photography/Camille is a fantastic choice for photography. This is the second time we used her, first time was for some romantic photos in the forest. She’s easy to communicate with through text and always has suggestions for outfits depending on the look we’re going for. From the start of each session, her communication is fun, efficient, and exciting. The quality of her work is truly elegant, dreamy, and represents our love for each other in a way I couldn’t dream of. The photos are always captured so beautifully and shows the joy of our love. Camille sent out sneak peaks almost immediately and sent out the final results quicker than we were quoted. We're thrilled with the results and would highly recommend Harvest Moon Photography to any couple looking for exceptional wedding photos.

Awarded Best of Zola
As both a bride and a former wedding coordinator, I can’t recommend Kaytlyn enough! From the very beginning, she was a dream to work with — professional, responsive, and so easygoing. We first worked with her for our engagement session, and the results were absolutely stunning — she captured us so naturally and beautifully that we knew instantly she was the perfect choice for our wedding. On a personal note, I also booked a boudoir session with her as a surprise for my husband on our wedding day. She made me feel completely comfortable in a very vulnerable setting, and within minutes I was totally at ease. The results were elegant, empowering, and something I will treasure forever. On the wedding day itself, she blended seamlessly into the flow of events, capturing everything without ever feeling intrusive. Having worked with many photographers in my coordinator role, I can say her professionalism and ability to connect with her clients is truly exceptional. She has that rare combination of talent, warmth, and efficiency that every bride dreams of in a wedding vendor. If you’re a bride looking for a photographer who will make you feel comfortable, capture your day beautifully, and handle everything with professionalism, look no further — Kaytlyn is the one!

We recently got married at Gala 417, and the entire experience was fantastic! The venue is absolutely breathtaking, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about how stunning everything was. Working with the Gala 417 team, especially Sarah and Lyndsey, made the planning process enjoyable and stress-free. They were incredibly responsive and attentive, always quick to answer questions and ensure that our wedding day vision came to life in a way that felt uniquely ours. Lyndsey, our day-of coordinator, was amazing! She handled everything flawlessly throughout the morning and early afternoon, and we truly appreciated how well-organized and professional she was. Even though there were a couple of small bumps after her departure, such as the DJ needing a reminder for speeches, and a few of our selected beer options running out earlier than expected, the staff still managed to keep everything running smoothly. To future brides, I would recommend clearly emphasizing any specific beverage preferences during your catering and blueprint meetings if you or your guests have favorites to avoid any disappointments. We were especially excited about the food after trying it at our catering meeting—it was delicious, and we even bragged to our guests about it! However, on the day of the wedding, the food served was bland and inconsistently prepared. We had requested steaks to be cooked medium, but after the fact, many of our guests shared that their filets ranged from rare to well-done, with some even mentioning gristle or fat in the cut—which shouldn’t happen with a filet. This was a bit disappointing, especially considering how much we were looking forward to the meal. Overall, Gala 417 went above and beyond to make our wedding day truly unforgettable. We would absolutely recommend this venue to future couples—between the gorgeous space and the dedication of the staff, our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more. We are so grateful to the entire Gala 417 team for making our day so special!

You could tell how much thought and care Ezra put into crafting our reception ambiance and the dance floor stayed strong all night! I loved the app he had us use to blueprint the music. It was so user friendly and very thorough! He took the songs we requested and created an absolutely perfect playlist for our vibe. He could respond to the energy of the group so well! He had everyone from my little cousins to our grandparents on the floor! My one and only complaint was how much my feet hurt after being on the dance floor because he was playing bangers back to back all night! He exceeded our expectations in every way! You will not regret hiring E and E Special Events for your big day!!!
