“Selecting The Estate at River Run as our wedding venue was the single best decision we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. It wasn't just a venue; it felt like home and provided the perfect backdrop for one of the most important days of our lives. From our engagement photos to our rehearsal dinner and the wedding day itself, this stunning estate was a dream. We opted for the Friday early access package in addition to the overnight package, and it made all the difference. We got access to the Estate at 2pm on Friday and my bridesmaids and I were able to stay the night before, which transformed the wedding morning into a truly relaxing and joyous experience. We were able to handle all the final preparations on Friday, leaving Saturday morning completely stress-free. The true magic of this venue, however, lies with Kim and her team. They are, without a doubt, the best in the business. Their kindness, professionalism, incredible attention to detail, and seamless organization are unmatched. They truly think of everything, anticipating needs before you even realize you have them. Their guidance and support were a genuine blessing, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment. The venue itself is breathtaking, offering so many different and beautiful locations for all the various events. It is truly a place where memories are not just made, but treasured. We are so incredibly grateful to The Estate at River Run for hosting our special day. It was everything we could have ever wanted and more.”

French Honey Hospitality is an all-inclusive bar service based in Virginia, specializing in curated cocktails that take a personal spin on the newlyweds-to-be. Led by owner Maegan Parrish, this traveling bar and bartending business brings custom experiences to weddings across Virginia and surrounding areas. With personalized menus and signature drinks, you can enjoy a cocktail hour and reception that is literally made for you.

Awarded Best of Zola
“French Honey Hospitality was my dream vendor and genuinely one of the highlights of my entire wedding experience. Maegan walked with me through every decision, offering ideas, sending examples of past custom cocktails she created, and even mailing me ingredients and a cocktail mixer so I could taste test when I was stuck between drink choices. I ultimately went with something entirely different, and she was endlessly patient with my indecisiveness while still giving guidance and helping me shape the vibe I wanted. On the wedding day, Maegan and her husband, Stewart, were absolute rockstars. The espresso martini tower was a major moment and disappeared faster than I could grab a second (guests are still raving about it). Every interaction with Maegan made me feel taken care of. She communicates clearly, delivers beautifully, and cares deeply about her couples. She’s trustworthy, talented, and brings a level of heart into her work that you can feel. If you are considering French Honey Hospitality, don’t hesitate. She will elevate your wedding in the best way possible!”

Added bonus - he is tall, so he'll get those high angles that not everybody can manage to get, haha! I highly recommend him, no question”

Let’s just talk about it. You spend months (sometimes years) planning your wedding - the colors, the outfits, the chargers, every little detail.

They provided all the mixers while we supplied the alcohol, which made everything seamless and easy. We also provided an extra bar, and they were so accommodating in working with us so we could use the thrifted bar my mom and I found. It was perfect having two bars—one on the lawn and one under the tent—which helped everything flow smoothly. They were very open and kind, and even attended our wedding walkthrough, which we truly loved and appreciated. Our guests had a great experience, and everything ran so well thanks to their team.”

“Allyse and Nick are two of the most stellar people I know, and they have come together to create the perfect business: a husband and wife team capturing moments forever. If anyone knows true love, it's them, and let alone getting the most epic photo, it's also them. Allyse and Nick are professionals who take stunning pictures in any season and setting! They are masters of lighting and finding the perfect moment. I have known them both for many years and have watched them grow in their photo careers and then move into creating their wedding photo business. They have photographed many friends' weddings and friends of friends, never to disappoint! Allyse has always had the gift of capturing the right moment, whether in her work overseas, photojournalism, or later in weddings, and she never ceased to amaze me or anyone I know. Her photos have always been so powerful, and her reputation shows it. Nick's creative and whimsical photos matched her style, and when they met, they grew further together, making them the talent powerhouse they are today. Nick and Allyse are the team to hire if you want your typical and not-so-typical photos. They are fun and witty artists with cameras! They will capture all of the fairy tale moments, the getting ready shots, and the memory photos you will treasure forever, but they will also create the laughs that make the photos you never even thought of happening! Their style and approach of helping you through those beautiful yet stressful hours that lead up to the big moment with humor and charm is also why you will love them! These are the moments where they will get the best photos of you, your family, and then of you and your one and only. They both have the clever eye to capture the moments that later, upon looking at the pictures, you will think, WOW, how did they get that? Allyse and Nick are the team you want to capture your wedding if not for their charm and talent but their ability to quickly make a stressful day flow while capturing the best moments you will cherish forever.”

From the planning process through the last song of the night, Anthony was an absolute pleasure to work with and played a huge role in making our wedding such a fun and memorable celebration. One of the things we appreciated most was how well he understood our vibe. He took the time to learn our musical preferences and seamlessly incorporated our favorite songs throughout the night. The dance floor was packed, and guests of all ages had an amazing time. Anthony was also an excellent MC. His announcements were clear, professional, and helped keep the day running smoothly without ever feeling intrusive. We had multiple locations throughout our venue that required music, and he transitioned between each one effortlessly. Everything from the ceremony to cocktail hour and the reception flowed perfectly. Beyond his talent as a DJ, Anthony was organized, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the planning process. It was clear that he genuinely cared about creating an experience that felt personal to us. If you're looking for a DJ who can keep the energy high, read the room, and create an unforgettable atmosphere, we wholeheartedly recommend Anthony and DJ Ant Boogie. We are so grateful he was part of our wedding day. Kayla & Roy”

Hi, I'm David, a Virginia-based photographer. Unlike many photographers, my introduction to the art of photo taking initially started off purely by accident. I believe everything happens for a reason and I am very thankful to be in the position I am in today.

“D.S. Photography was a wonderful choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, David was responsive and professional, quickly answering all our calls and emails. On the day of the wedding, he arrived on time and captured beautiful, creative shots that perfectly caught the joy and energy of our special day. David was fun and easygoing to work with, seamlessly going with the flow as our schedule shifted. For an awkward couple like us when it comes to posing and taking pictures, David made us feel really comfortable and made us laugh throughout the whole shoot. And on top of his great service, he offered the best pricing we found among the photographers we considered. We couldn't be happier with the high-quality photos that now allow us to remember our wedding day. Highly recommend D.S. Photography!”

“We love the look and quality of their photos and the affordable price of the photo / video package. They were very quick with responding which is super helpful when you’re emailing a million people at a time during wedding planning and planning and prep with the Inman’s was easy and efficient. Our photos are BEAUTIFUL! They capture the charm of the venue, the joy from all our family and friends, and the love between my husband and I. We also received our photos SO quickly and got to browse through them on our honeymoon which was amazing. The Inmans were knowledgeable, professional, and created a very enjoyable experience.

I have been a bridal makeup artist for about 5 years. I'm passionate about making couples look and feel their absolute best on one of the biggest days of their lives. And when I say 'couples', the groom can be included with male grooming services to enhance their look as well. These memories will last a lifetime, so it's important for the whole party to look polished.

About Thyme Events is a wedding planning company based in Central Virginia. Owner Elizabeth is a Virginia native who is passionate about planning weddings of all kinds, from intimate affairs to large celebrations. She'd love to help you plan your special day. About Thyme Events will meet with you in a consultation to help you determine which of their packages would suit you best. Elizabeth will get to know you and your vision in your consultation, before helping you design your perfect package. Whichever option you choose, About Thyme Events will let you relax and enjoy the planning process before delivering the wedding of your dreams.

“We first met Elizabeth 6 month’s prior to our wedding and knew instantly she was the best person to bring our wedding day to life. She brings such an enthusiastic positive energy with every call, text, in person meet, etc. She makes you feel like she’s your personal hype person for the time leading up to wedding date. She also very clearly loves what she does, which is for good reason, she’s brilliant, inventive and second to none with her abilities. The lead up to the wedding involved so much coordination with different vendors, wrangling guests like cats and all the other fun stressors that come with weddings. She guided us through every bit of turbulent weather including the arduous task of recommending DJs, photographers and florists. For 6 months, she was effectively our mental health coach to keep us on task, on schedule and feel secure that our day will be treated with the utmost care as if we’re the only thing that mattered in the world. We always felt that we were the central focus of her attention during our time together. It brought us a calm leading up to the day that was absolutely priceless. It’s not hyperbole to say, the day literally doesn’t happen without her and her efforts. We’re eternally grateful for everything she has done for us. She’s honestly such a genuine person, that it feels like you’ve known her half your life. Anybody in the search for a Wedding Coordinator or Planner, need look no further. In addition to her amazing work ethic and dedication to you in prep for the wedding and day of the event, you will have gained a dear friend.”
