I just wanted to take a moment to thank Jason for the fantastic job he did as our DJ at our daughter's wedding! Jason was very professional and just a pleasure to work with! From start to finish, you truly made Alex and Sam's day extra special! The music was perfect—every song you played set the right mood and kept the energy high all night. We’ve received nothing but compliments from our guests about how great the playlist was and how much fun they had on the dance floor. You really knew how to read the crowd and keep everyone dancing all night! I think Breakin' Free from High School Musical was a highlight—Alex and Sam looked so cute; I couldn’t stop smiling! Thanks again for being such a key part of their celebration. The memories of that unforgettable dance party will be cherished for years to come. We’re so grateful Alex and Sam chose you to help make their big day even more special!

First and foremost, congratulations! This is an exciting time! Before I begin with all the details, I would like to do away with the formalities and keep it light. Technically speaking, I’m a photographer, but honestly, since establishing my business in 2014, I would consider myself a teammate through this process. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know couples, their families, their stories, and at the end of the day, becoming a good friend. If this vibes with you, we are off to a good start :) Answering questions, transparency in communication, and prompt responses are important to me and I hope that everything I share resonates.

Awarded Best of Zola
Justin was absolutely incredible!! He was able to impeccably capture the beauty and joy of the day. A lot of photographers we considered had beautiful photos, but the reason we went with Justin was because you could feel the joy come through the photos and it paid off! Justin sent us the high quality, well edited photos faster than I have ever heard any wedding photographer get pictures to the bride and groom and he made it very easy for us to share those pictures with family and friends. Not only did Justin deliver beautiful photos that captured the mood of the day, but he went above and beyond his photographer duties. When all of the bridal party was racing around with wet fingernails, Justin stepped in to help button the many buttons on my dress. When we were running late to get to the ceremony, Justin called the front desk at the venue to make sure our ride was waiting for us to get to the ceremony ASAP. I cannot recommend Justin enough!!!

Eric was awesome to work with from the start. He’s a true professional at his work and is extremely personable. He really understood the vision for our wedding and fulfilled it ten times over. We used Eric for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and for all three he exceeded our expectations. The music was phenomenal and the lighting looks amazing in pictures. He helped us host a great party, was receptive to all of our song requests and preferences, and checked in with us as needed before and throughout the wedding. He kept the energy up all night and knew exactly what to play when. He was also a great emcee, super likable and not the least bit cheesy or abrasive during any announcements during the reception. Everyone complimented how cool he was and what a great set he played. We cannot recommend him enough and can’t wait to party with him again!

If you are looking for the best dj in the area look no further!! From our initial booking to finally meeting in person, it was all the most amazing experience. He was a super helpful online DJ platform which helps you put in your timeline, music preferences and more! It really takes the weight off the couple and makes the music aspect a breeze! And he also offers a great military discount which was so nice to find out. He provided all the necessary microphones, speakers and even some super fun lighting!! I was able to even send him custom Spotify playlists for each moment of our night and he was able to upload them to his system and use them all night. We had a lot of little requests here and there but he was on top of everything and we are so beyond happy with our experience. Our guests loved his dj style and had a great time on the dance floor.

My brother and sister-in-law used MyDeejay for their wedding 12 years ago, and I still remember how incredible their reception was — the energy, the music, and the nonstop dancing. From that night on, I knew I wanted MyDeejay for my own wedding someday. We were lucky enough to work with Van Petty, and he completely exceeded every expectation. Van was kind, professional, and so attentive to every detail. He listened to exactly what we envisioned and made sure every moment — from our ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception — flowed seamlessly. He even had separate setups for each part of the day, and everything transitioned beautifully. The dance floor was packed all night, and the energy never dipped.

Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

We are thrilled with the stunning work of Shutter and Sound! Their highly talented videographers perfectly captured all the love and memories of our wedding day, and helped preserve them in film.

Bhanu at Eternal Vistas showed he genuinely cared about making our day perfect. He was involved in planning every step of the wedding with us, and even monitored the forecast to suggest we order umbrellas last minute; this was a thoughtful touch that saved us. There were so many thoughtful touches that will not fit in this review (preparing a wedding outline, checking in on our mental health/stress levels when planning, suggesting a song to listen to while we looked at photos, and so many more things!!). We received sneak peek photos in less than 24 hours, and we were absolutely floored by the quality. They are beyond our wildest dreams. We had a main photographer, a videographer, and an assistant (an unexpected bonus assistant, I’ll add). Their attention to detail is clear in every shot, and the whole experience felt effortless. The value we got from working with them was outstanding and truly worthwhile. I could not recommend them enough to any couple looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond. My husband and I are grateful for Eternal Vistas and their passion for what they do. Thank you thank you thank you.

When we got our video back I literally smiled the whole 40 minutes watching it. It was like living the happiest day of my life all over again. The photos are so soft and romantic but also real, nothing looked staged. My favorite part was how they caught the little laughs between us, the small things you don’t realize at the time. The reception photos are incredible too, the colors and lights make everything glow. My husband isn’t usually into photos but he LOVES these, which says everything. The angles they found were amazing, like who even thinks of these shots?? They made me feel so beautiful and confident all day. I have had so many people message me saying our wedding photos look like they came from a magazine. Honestly I think hiring them was the BEST decision of our whole wedding planning.

I cannot recommend our wedding coordinator/planner enough. If I could I would recommend her 10x over. She was absolutely exceptional from start to finish, but what truly sets her apart is how she showed up for us when the unexpected happened. When our photographer/videographer unexpectedly left before our ceremony even started, she immediately stepped in without hesitation. She took control, stayed calm, and made sure we still had beautiful coverage and meaningful memories from our day, something we will forever be grateful for. That level of dedication, professionalism, and care is rare. She went above and beyond her role, advocating for us, supporting us emotionally, and making sure our wedding day was still special despite the curveball. Her assistant, Autumn, was also wonderful, attentive, kind, and incredibly supportive throughout the day. If you are looking for someone who will truly have your back, handle anything that comes their way, and treat your wedding as if it were their own, look no further. Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made. Highly, highly recommend!

Sarah and the rest of the Events by Rose team were the MVPs of our wedding planning process. From the start Sarah took time to get to know us as a couple, to ensure our wedding day reflected who we are. Sarah was always 10 steps ahead, thinking about every little detail of our special day. Her organization was extremely impressive to see first hand. Even the vendors we spoke with face-to-face raved about her organization, professionalism, and how easy it is to work with her. I think it speaks volumes that everyone she interacts with (clients and vendors alike) love to work with her. She is outstanding at balancing all the moving parts of a wedding with ease, and always made sure we felt comfortable with every step of the process. Sarah always took the time to help us finetune even the smallest of details, making sure the day would include everything we wanted. So many of our friends have said the wedding process was one of the most stressful times in their lives, but we did not have that experience at all and this is hugely attributed to Sarah and her team. The experience was enjoyable and exciting, and we never once found ourselves overwhelmed. We would have never been able to make it to our wedding day while still having fun, if we didn’t have Sarah leading our team. On the day of our wedding, Sarah and her team were OUTSTANDING! We felt cared for by each member of the team and our guests felt the entire day flowed perfectly, all thanks to Sarah. Every small detail was planned out and went exactly as planned. Sarah went above and beyond, making sure we had everything we needed, all while managing our vendors and guests. If you are wondering if you should hire Events by Rose for your wedding the answer is absolutely yes! Thanks again Sarah and the Events by Rose team for everything you did, we literally could not have done it without you. You helped make our perfect wedding day a reality!

Renee, Krista and the entire team at RCC were incredible. My biggest fear was that I would be too worried about keeping everyone on time that I wouldn't be able to enjoy the day, but I honestly had no idea what time it was all day, and everything went off without a hitch! Their planning style and helpful questions were vital in figuring out what we wanted in the day. It was so comforting to have such a professional team say "oh we got it" and get it done. Thank you Krista and team for saving my dress when the cake cutting got messy! They were reliable, fun, coordinated and professional, I am SO glad they were a part of our day, I could not speak more highly of the experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
Margarita was an absolute pleasure to work with for the surprise engagement I planned while traveling with my fiancé and her family. She was able to help me plan everything within a couple of days time and responded quickly to my inquiry I made through her website. The quality of their work and value was truly outstanding, with natural, affordable, and stunning photos that captured our special day perfectly. Margarita traveled all the way from Baltimore and arrived early to scout the area and help me plan the surprise. We can't wait to have her shoot our wedding and would highly recommend her services to any couple looking for an amazing photography experience.

We’re Maggie and Patrick, the husband-and-wife team behind Living Radiant Photography. For over a decade, we’ve captured weddings across Maryland, DC, and beyond with a style that blends timeless portraits and joyful storytelling. Couples love how we make them feel at ease, photographing natural, radiant moments without forcing anything. We've been on weddingW*iRe + theK*not and are new to Zola! TONS of reviews over there! To us, photography isn’t just about pretty pictures—it’s about preserving the emotions and details that will matter for generations.

Maggie and Patrick did such an amazing job! Maggie indeed leads with “grace and authority” and quickly poses big groups (even the people that aren’t that into it). We had so much fun getting to know them and appreciate the extra effort they put into meetings to plan our timeline for the day. They are the nicest people and added so much energy to a very long day. Maggie even went the extra step and made sure that the table numbers were facing the door and helped me place decor. They both have a great eye for detail. We are in love with our photos and are so happy with their services!

I’ve been running Ridiculous Entertainment as my main business for 14 years. I picked up DJing as a hobby when I was in high school, falling in love with hip-hop and learning to scratch records. Throughout my college years, I DJed tons of parties. I now also work in live audio engineering, record albums in my home studio, play in bands, and produce stage shows with the Baltimore Rock Opera Society (BROS). DJing weddings and private parties has been my main career path for a long time now and I still really enjoy it! Your wedding day should be a fusion of the best things in you and your partner's life together.

Aran did such a great job mixing our music preferences together and pivoting as the night changed. He had great suggestions when we weren't sure what songs to play. He has great energy and our dance floor was packed the entire night. You should absolutely hire him as your DJ.
