“Brian, our DJ was fantastic. He was so attentive and followed every request to a T. He was SO happy for us and truly genuine in his well wishes for me and my husband. He kept the dance floor packed all night, filled in the blanks where I couldn’t come up songs, and kept everything running smoothly! We appreciate him so much, and wish Mr. Brian the absolute best. Jim, the owner, was also extremely communicative and so easy to work with and kind. It’s more than just a business to them, they actually care about your special day. Direct entertainment has the best pricing and package options by far, and the level of care was unmatched from the very first conversation. Thank you Brian & Jim from the bottom of our hearts!

“We booked a private wine tour with Vineyard Voyages and had an absolutely fantastic experience. From start to finish, everything was easy, well organized, and genuinely relaxing. It was so nice being able to enjoy the wineries without anyone in our group having to worry about driving, directions, or keeping the day on schedule. The transportation was comfortable, the itinerary was thoughtfully planned, and the entire experience felt personal rather than like a cookie-cutter tour. We were able to relax, enjoy the scenery, spend time together, and experience some great Virginia wineries without feeling rushed. What really stood out was the attention to detail and how smoothly the entire day went. Vineyard Voyages took care of the logistics while still giving our group the freedom to enjoy the day at our own pace. I would absolutely recommend Vineyard Voyages for a private wine tour, especially for a birthday, celebration, or just a great day out with friends. We will definitely use them again. — Ken”

“I cannot recommend Isabella Vabre Beauty enough. I’m someone who is very outdoorsy and almost never does hair or makeup, so I walked into this experience knowing basically nothing — and Isabella made me feel completely comfortable from the very start. She is incredibly responsive, professional, and so kind. She has a calming presence that immediately puts you at ease, and she listens closely to what you want (even if you’re not sure how to describe it!). On my wedding day, she made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself — still me, just elevated in all the right ways. I would 100% work with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a makeup artist who is both technically skilled and genuinely wonderful to be around. If you’re considering booking — do it. You’ll be glad you did.”

“I had a fantastic experience doing my Long Island backyard wedding florals through Poppy. Michelle was our floral consultant, and she was absolutely amazing throughout the whole planning process. I loved the ability to choose florals through the portal while also uploading inspiration pictures and tweaking things with Michelle's help. I was able to share photos, and Michelle assured me that they would be able to create arrangements just like the inspiration photos. Communication through the portal was seamless and quick. On the day of the wedding, I was SO pleased with the flowers. They were even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! Anyelys, the local designer assigned to my wedding, was kind, collaborated beautifully with my coordinators, and did such a wonderful job with the flowers. It was everything I expected and more, just like the photos I had submitted! I LOVED my bouquet in particular.

“I may be biased, as the bakery owner is my best friend and maid of honour, but I am not exaggerating when I say I have never received more compliments on anything as I received on my wedding desserts! The mini cheesecakes, cookies, and wedding cake were absolutely cleaned out! The only thing we got to bring home for ourselves was our personal wedding cake. Amanda is so accommodating--we had my mother in law bring in some traditional Indian desserts and Amanda was happy to add them to her display and even provided a beautiful serving dish for them! The wedding cake was so beautiful and DELICIOUS! My husband hyped it up so much to our guests that I started to worry it might not meet their expectations, but I was SO wrong. I would recommend Amanda for any event you may have coming up in your life. She is professional and reliable, and will work with you to make your dessert dreams come true down to the last detail!”

“We worked with Francisco as our day-of wedding coordinator at the Josephine Butler Parks Center, and we cannot recommend him highly enough! From the moment we started working with him, he was incredibly thorough, organized, and clearly genuinely invested in making our wedding day as smooth and joyful as possible. In the months leading up to the wedding, Francisco helped walk us through the big checklist items for planning a wedding, ensuring we didn’t overlook a single detail while always being respectful of our choices and vision. His communication over email was always timely and clear, and our planning phone calls were always productive, efficient, and fun! One of the most valuable things he did was create a comprehensive vendor packet that centralized all final details—this was a game-changer! We didn’t have to worry about keeping track of updates or managing version control, as he seamlessly handled all communication and coordination with our vendors. His understanding of the venue layout, the timing with our photographer, and the logistics of transporting wedding items made the final decisions stress-free. We trusted him completely, and every detail turned out exactly as we’d hoped—or better! When it came time for the wedding weekend itself, Francisco expertly ran our rehearsal, navigating family dynamics with calm professionalism and making sure everyone felt comfortable and confident. On the wedding day, Francisco was a calm and reassuring presence, quietly in charge and gracefully keeping everything on track. As someone who’s very Type A and typically likes to stay on top of everything, I was amazed by how much I was able to relax and simply enjoy the day because I knew Francisco would be handling it all. Thanks to him, we could focus on celebrating with our loved ones, knowing everything was in the best hands. If you’re looking for someone who will bring warmth, expertise, and a true sense of calm to your wedding day, Francisco is your person. He made our wedding a dream come true, and we wouldn’t change a single thing. (Photos courtesy of Paperbird Photography!)”

Awarded Best of Zola
“Darcy was an absolute pleasure to work with and we LOVE our photos. She truly captured the emotions of the day and the essence of all the people we love the most. Any time i look at our photos, i find myself involuntarily smiling. She captured the classic posed photos AND the precious in-between moments where people are being their most authentic selves (the face my dad makes when he's really intently listening, the hand gestures my mom uses when she's explaining something and can't find the right words, the face my mother in law makes when she's cracking herself up, the face my father in law makes right before the tears fall, and so so many more). Not ONLY are her photos amazing, but she made us feel so relaxed on the day-of. Her style is totally unobtrusive, which is just what we needed. Darcy got such amazing photos of all our guests we put 4x6" prints in our thank you cards and people were SO appreciative. She's on fridges across America. Comments we've gotten in response to Darcy's photos: "WOW your photographer is phenomenal", "this is the best photo of us in existence", "you guys look so happy!", "I feel like the photographer really captured your personalities" If capturing joy is important to you, hire Darcy. My only regret is getting her for 7 hours instead of 9.”

“We truly could not have asked for a better wedding photographer! From the very beginning, they were professional, organized, and incredibly easy to work with, which immediately put us at ease. On the wedding day itself, they struck the perfect balance between being calm and reassuring while also keeping everything on schedule and flowing smoothly. They captured every important moment beautifully—from the big, emotional highlights to the small, candid details we didn’t even realize were happening at the time. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the entire day all over again. The images are timeless, natural, and full of genuine emotion, not overly posed or forced! What stood out most was how attentive and thoughtful they were—not just to us, but to our families and wedding party as well. Multiple guests commented on how kind and personable they were, yet somehow always in the right place at the right time! We are beyond grateful for these photos and will cherish them for the rest of our lives.

My passion for photography grew when my daughter, Lotus, was born in 2004 and I began documenting her childhood with an eye toward catching each irreplaceable moment. Soon, friends and then friends of friends asked me to photograph their children and families. Before long, I was documenting the lives and milestones of people all over the DMV area. I realized how happy I was connecting with people and capturing special moments, and so I launched Lotus Photography in 2012 - named for my first muse.

Even before we booked a venue, I knew choosing the right planner would be the most important decision for our wedding, and it was so important to find someone who understood my vision. The fact that they also excel at florals was an amazing bonus.

I'm a visual enthusiast with a degree in Arts Management. My style is mostly photojournalistic, embracing natural and romantic elements. In each wedding, my aim is to craft something different and unique, capturing a set of storytelling moments that reflect the essence of the day. What truly drives me is the moment when my clients receive the picture, and tell me how they love them. Knowing that my work will be forever cherished by others adds a meaningful layer.

“Villa was absolutely incredible. Her presence, artistic eye, and professionalism were evident from the moment I first reached out to her through the final delivery of our photos. We opted out of engagement photos as my husband really doesn’t enjoy photo shoots, so our wedding day was actually the first time we met her, and she immediately made us feel completely at ease. She scouted beautiful locations and found the perfect lighting. We had a brunch wedding which poses a challenge for a photographer with harsh morning light, but Villa came prepared and used the soft reflections and cloudy skies to capture truly stunning images. Before the wedding day, Villa was exceptionally communicative and quick to respond to any questions. She helped create a photography timeline that ended up being invaluable, especially since we were working with a tight morning schedule for our 10:45 a.m. church ceremony. Admittedly I didn’t fully consider the early timelines when I first decided on a brunch reception. On the day of, Villa and her second photographer were phenomenal. She maintained a calm, peaceful presence and guided photos with a thoughtful, artistic approach. She arrived early, was fully prepared, and remained discreet throughout the ceremony. Her turnaround time was also incredibly impressive in just five weeks! We were blown away by the gallery and will cherish these photos forever. I highly, highly recommend Villa for your wedding.”

“I had my bridal hair and makeup done with Mervat and Ala, as well as several bridesmaids & my mom for hair and makeup. I was especially nervous about makeup and Mervat hit the perfect balance: enough to look good in pictures, but natural enough to look like myself in person. Ala is a hair magician. They both do stunning work and they are fast!”

“We hired Jeremy to DJ our wedding in September 2018. We are avid (and opinionated) music fans, so this was one of the most important parts of our day. Jeremy's pre-wedding process was efficient, informative, collaborative, and fun. Given all of the information we provided him, he absolutely nailed the vibe we had in mind, and he played an expertly curated and mixed set that was a hit with everyone at the wedding. The dance floor was positively packed all night. Additionally, Jeremy was punctual, courteous, accommodating, and charismatic. What else can you ask for in a wedding DJ?”
