Living my best life in suburban Maryland. I love art and being creative, so photography just seemed like the next step after being an actor for 15 years. Storytelling is a HUGE part of my life- whether it’s sitting around the dinner table recounting funny memories or looking at old photographs of my own family. Some of the best stories in the world were told without words. I am a D&D, gaming, and SQL nerd, I have a newfound love of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and I am a proud plant mom. Never been married before? I'm here to hold your hand.

“Laura was AMAZING to work with. My fiancé and I felt so comfortable and relaxed which made our pictures come out so beautiful. Laura was the best hype women and made us feel like movie stars too. Her personality and style are unique and her creativity is everything we wanted for our pictures!”

Allan coordinated with our venue, made creative recommendations, and knocked it out of the park at the reception. He was also very reasonably priced! Next time we need a DJ, DJ Nilla will be the first person we call! Allan, thank you again for making our special day even better!”

“When discussing wedding budget with my now husband, we both picked a non-negotiable (absolute must have, no wiggle room) and a "do without" (if we didn't have the budget, we wouldn't think twice about it). My non-negotiable was the venue, his was the wedding video. We just re-watched our wedding video last night (over 3 years after saying "I do") and I am so beyond happy that we chose Marc to capture our special day. From the transition, to the editing and voice overlay, and everything in between, Mako Productions crafted the perfect video representative of us, our love, and our special day. I was speechless when I first saw the video and continue to be every time I rewatch it. Every emotion and moment we experienced over the course of that day was so beautifully captured and reflected in the video we received. I could not imagine trusting anyone else to do a better job, it's simply not possible. The professionalism and discreet presence was the cherry on top of a perfect day celebrating love. Marc and Mako Productions truly outdid themselves in capturing our special day and I will scream from the roof tops to let them do the same for you. You will not regret it.”

“Maddy and Cass were always happy, fun and genuinely interested in not just the wedding, but our family and our happiness! They could not have been more dependable, utterly trustworthy, organized, always accessible, and showed great judgement! One example of how they went above and beyond was we had a decorative seating chart on a 69”X78” 20 paned glass window that they protected, transported and stored for us at their inconvenience. Furthermore, during the wedding reception not only did they make sure everything was perfect as we planned, but on the fly they used great judgement to make the reception better by tweaking the arrangement. As well, we had no worries once the wedding was over because we knew we could trust them to secure anything of value and what we owned, as well as what any vendor might of left behind. Even so far as to hold our possessions in their home until it was convenient for us to get them. We loved Maddy and Cass and highly recommend them as your wedding planners.”

He was super approachable and responsive to our questions. When we sent him our playlists for what we wanted him to play he went over each song and made sure he had the correct song by the correct artist which was super helpful. Now for where he saved our wedding! Our venue made a mistake of using our props for a wedding the night before but when CJ found out, he offered to use his cold sparks for us which was absolutely amazing! He kept the party alive and the fun flowing! We had so many guests come up to us during and after asking us if where we found CJ and loved 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!”

From consultation to day of, Bashan McLeod (owner) exuded professionalism, profoundness and poise. Her skillset, knowledge and expertise of wedding planning and event planning provided a sense of ease and allowed me to focus on the only important thing…marrying my husband. Lol.

Bashan went above and beyond, she always did a monthly check up on me to see how I was doing before her services started. And when the 30 days out started, this business owner was on it!

Your wedding is one of the most meaningful days of your life and your florals shouldn’t be an afterthought or feel like copy + paste from other weddings you’ve been to. This is most likely the most you will ever spend on flowers. It’s important to get them just right. You’re working so hard to create a wedding day that is a reflection of what is most important to the two of you and who you are. Why should your flowers be any different? I design arrangements that reflect your vision and respect your budget.

They have excellent responsiveness, attention to detail and the food is amazing. Everything we wanted on our wedding day was accomplished. The only slight frustration I experienced was not having contact with our specific day of coordinator until the week of the wedding. But that didn’t even end up being an issue because, as I mentioned, everything was perfect. They’re so flexible and easy to work with. Though I wasn’t communicating with the same person every time I had questions, their internal communication was so strong and efficient that it seemed like I was talking the the same person.

I hired them for hair & makeup, florals, design and planning. I never looked prettier thanks to Katie & Jordan. My bridesmaids say that it is the best hair and makeup they have ever received (some better than their own wedding). April with florals were out of the world amazing.

“The wedding venue of our dreams!!! Look no further if you're looking for a waterfront wedding at a historic site...none compare to Whitehall! From the moment we drove through the magnolia-lined driveway, we knew this was the venue for us. We loved the flexibility this venue had to offer with vendors and ceremony location and received so many compliments from our guests on how gorgeous and well-maintained the property was. Highly recommend!”

Hello! My name is Megan, I am a self-taught floral designer and proud of it! While I was an event intern at a large non-profit, I did all fifty centerpieces for our first gala. My bosses took a chance on me and I'd like to say it paid off! I was quickly hired after my internship ended and worked my way up to Director of Events. Throughout my four years there I planned all of our large-scale events, which included designing all floral elements for each event. It was at that job I truly learned just how obsessed I am with planning and executing events, as well as floral design.

“Carried Away Florals & Events, LLC. was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, their communication was effective, kind, and quick - they were always responsive and made us feel like a priority. The quality of their work was simply beautiful and timeless, perfectly fitting the vision we had for our special day. On the day of the wedding, the Carried Away team arrived on time and worked seamlessly with our venue to bring our floral design to life. We were thrilled with the end result and received so many compliments from our guests on the stunning arrangements. I would highly recommend Carried Away Florals & Events to any couple planning their wedding.”
