Isabella Vabre Beauty is a luxury bridal and special event makeup and hair team serving clients across the Washington DC area and beyond. Led by award-winning artist Isabella Vabre, our studio is known for creating elevated, camera-ready beauty that feels effortless, timeless, and confidently you. With experience shaped by fashion weeks, celebrity clients, and the signature Soft Glam style, our team delivers a personalized, high-touch experience grounded in artistry, professionalism, and calm, supportive service. We believe in making every client feel elevated, radiant, and fully taken care of.

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.

Vineyard Voyages provides private group transportation and customized wine-country experiences throughout Northern Virginia and Loudoun County. We help couples and wedding groups plan bachelorette celebrations, bridal showers, wedding-weekend outings, winery excursions, and other private group experiences. Vineyard Voyages operates a 27-passenger executive shuttle and coordinates transportation, timing, winery itineraries, and group logistics so everyone can travel together and enjoy Virginia wine country without needing a designated driver.

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

Poppy is a full-service wedding florist with one mission: give every couple stunning floral design without the luxury-tier price tag. We design, source, and deliver your flowers from first consultation to final installation. As featured in Martha Stewart Weddings, The Today Show, Fortune, and Goop. Planning your wedding flowers should feel exciting, not overwhelming. If you've been gathering inspiration and wondering whether your budget can actually bring that vision to life — it can. That's exactly what we do.

Awarded Best of Zola
Finding a florist was so overwhelming and "minimum investments" were crazy! I decided to go with Poppy Flowers because the pricing was actually reasonable and there wasn't a minimum investment of like 5-8k like some other florists. We used Poppy Flowers for bridal and bridesmaids bouquets, bouts, corsages, 2 aisle flower clouds, and flower girl petals. The process was super easy and straight forward. It was nice to have one vendor be all online and straightforward when everything else was so complicated and convoluted in wedding planning. Everything went smoothly on the day of. The flowers magically appeared where they needed to be. That may be partly due to my planner but also Poppy showed up as expected where they were expected (as far as I know lol). And they looked great!! We supplemented the Poppy Flowers by buying local wholesale bulk flowers to fill 50 bud vases and my girlfriends and I also made several fake flower arrangements in the months leading up to the wedding too. Even though we hodge podged it all together it ended up looking nice together (IMO lol) and that's likely due to Poppy understanding what I wanted color and flower type wise. I also enjoyed the leftover flowers for a week or so after the wedding as they survived a while once i put them in new vases with water and flower food. (The pic of them all on a table are days after the wedding rearranged into vases)

Hi, I'm Amanda! I founded Baden's Bakery in 2020, but I have been baking since I was young. Baking has always been a passion of mine, and I am excited to share it with you! Whether you are looking for a traditional wedding cake or a modern dessert bar with an assortment of treats, we are here to make your special day sweeter!

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Working out of Arlington, VA, the Coordinated Collective provides day-of coordination for couples who have otherwise organized their own wedding. Aiding couples in the District of Columbia, Eastern Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia, the women of this company have a wealth of knowledge and experience organizing weddings in all sorts of venues and design. Owned by Ja’el Mendez, this team of experts brings the final touch needed to make sure you get hitched without a glitch! The initial planning is done by the clients, meaning that couples choose their own vendors and have the freedom to design their own wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring The Coordinated Collective was by far the best decision we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. Every single person we interacted with was incredible, starting with Ja’el the owner, who was amazing from start to finish. She is warm, organized, thoughtful, and we felt see was genuinely invested in us. From our first conversation, we knew we were in great hands. Our day-of coordinators, Liz and Blair, were absolute stars. They just got us. Throughout the planning process, they provided steady guidance, answered every question, and—when we had concerns about potential issues with other vendors—gave us thoughtful, grounded advice and real encouragement. As we approached the wedding, Liz and Blair stepped in to manage the scheduling of the countless moving parts of our wedding day. They helped address issues before they became problems, and resolved most problems before they became crises. Their communication and stress management were unparalleled. They kept us informed whenever we needed to know something and shielded us from anything we didn’t need to be bothered with. I referred back to Blair’s meticulously documented recap emails from our planning meetings so many times during planning - no idea how anything would have gotten done without those! We always felt like they were firmly on our team. Their presence throughout those final weeks kept us calm and confident… despite the best attempts of some of our vendors and family! And then the wedding day itself… flawless. Truly flawless. They executed the day with precision, grace, and warmth. They handled countless details behind the scenes so seamlessly that we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our big day. At one point during dinner, I (the bride) leaned over to my mom to ask if she had floss because I had food stuck in my teeth, and before I could finish my sentence, Liz promptly whisked me away to a back room where I found myself suddenly in front of a mirror with a toothpick in hand! The level of support and preparation during the pre-wedding stages was above and beyond what we ever expected. Our families and friends are still raving about how fantastic they were on the day-of. We also decided to add on content creation with Teri late in the process, and we are SO glad we did. She was amazing—funny, kind, unobtrusive, and everywhere at once without ever feeling like a camera was in our faces. A couple of days after the wedding, we received our raw video dump, and it is worth every single penny. I’ve spent hours reliving the day through all the behind-the-scenes moments she captured with our guests, family, and wedding party. She didn’t miss a thing. We can’t wait to see the short-form content she creates, but honestly, the raw footage alone already exceeded our hopes. We are genuinely obsessed with this team. The Coordinated Collective is thoughtful, professional, communicative, creative, and deeply committed to making your wedding experience exceptional from beginning to end. If you’re considering hiring them, don’t hesitate for a second. They were truly the best decision we made, and we are endlessly grateful.

Darcy was a pleasure to work with! She was so accommodating and informative throughout the process. I did a lot of our wedding planning at the last minute and I have never had professional photos done so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect but Darcy walked me through the wedding day and made sure that we had a clear plan. She was also very patient with all of my last minute changes to the schedule. I originally reached out to Darcy because I loved the style of her photos and I was incredibly pleased when I saw our photos. I would definitely reach out to her for future events/family photos!

Jessica is AMAZING, we hired her for our wedding and also did the engagement pictures with her. I am brazilian and since she is also I thought maybe my now husband would be a little uncomfortable taking the pictures but no way, not with Jessica, the way she makes everything seems so smooth and simple makes you think you are spending a good afternoon with a friend! And her work is definitely THE BEST! On my wedding day she managed to speak both languages with my family and my guests and took so much amazing pictures that now is hard to choose!

I had the most amazing experience with this incredible hair and makeup team!!! I have never felt more beautiful or confident than I did on my wedding day. Alina was my makeup artist. She was incredibly upbeat, silly, happy, and had great vibes the entire time. I am someone who is incredibly picky about my makeup, and even considered doing my makeup myself on my wedding day. I'm so glad I didn't. Alina was super receptive when I explained what look I was going for. She checked in with me every step to make sure I loved it, and made sure my makeup was perfect for my wedding day. I cannot recommend her enough. I got so many compliments and felt amazing all day. Even through dancing and crying all day, my makeup stayed on and looked great for the entire day. My hair was just as stunning!! Sveta is so talented and can do so many stunning hair styles. I asked for a few small changes from my trial and she executed them perfectly to give me my dream hair for my wedding. They were on time, so professional, and so much fun to work with.

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. I captured my first wedding in 2016 and I was instantly in love with being a wedding photographer!

We cannot say enough good things about Georgette! We had a January wedding with about 50 guests, and she was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Our portrait time was tight (our fault), and Georgette helped us game plan ahead of time so we could make the absolute most of it. She rolled effortlessly with last-minute changes to people and the order of photos, and somehow managed to squish in everyone we hoped to include without making it feel rushed or stressful. The photos themselves are stunning. She captured every bit of emotion — the big happy moments, the quiet sentimental ones, and even the teary-eyed exchanges. Looking through our gallery truly feels like reliving the day. Beyond her talent behind the camera, her wedding experience really showed. From knowing how to properly carry a giant dress and veil, to keeping things moving smoothly, she went above and beyond in so many small but meaningful ways. If you’re considering booking Georgette — do it. We are so grateful for her and will treasure these photos forever.

Peña & Co. grew from a love of weddings and bringing order to so many moving pieces and parts. I was part of a wedding that didn't have everything planned out, and I saw how that affected the Bride & Groom and knew then that the details help create unity and peace. My aim is for you to have joy and peace in your day and to truly enjoy each second. I have been coordinating and planning for over 5 years, served over 50 couples, and was trained in the south in both Greenville and Charleston, SC. I have loved mixing Southern comfort with DC splendor since I moved to DC in 2023. I can't wait to celebrate you every step of the way!

Emily is the perfect wedding planner for our special day. From the start, her communication style was efficient, transparent, caring, direct and clear, which made the planning process feel easy and always had a clear direction, ensuring we didn't miss anything. The team is highly professional, detail oriented, and thorough, allowing the day-of to feel smooth and effortless. Emily covered every aspect in full detail, enabling us to be fully present with our guests and each other. We are so grateful for Peña & Co.'s exceptional service and highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

I’m an experienced DJ and have been spinning at events for over 25 yrs.

I branched out into doing weddings in the 00’s, and it has been great! I love playing weddings and sharing in the joy of the happy couple and their families!

Neal was a great DJ who was happy to do whatever he could to make our wedding go as smoothly as possible. His mobile setup was perfect for our ceremony location and he did a wonderful job with all of his announcements and making guests happy. (Photos by @sopho.tography)

I can’t say enough amazing things about Rachel as our wedding planner. She was the calmest, most grounding presence and made our entire day feel effortless. She got along with everyone, ran with all of our silly ideas, and somehow made our vision come to life even better than we imagined. Truly could not have done it without her. Counting down the days until she moves to D.C. so we can be real-life friends!

Ivett and her talented professional team specialize in makeup and hair for Weddings, Photoshoots, Special Occasions, and Commercial Work in Virginia - Maryland - Washington DC. - Worldwide. Our team of experienced, friendly professionals pamper you before your wedding day or your special event, so you can relax and focus on the things that really matter. Like looking fabulous (and feeling even better)!

I am so happy with how my hair and makeup looked at my wedding. I looked exactly how I wanted on my wedding day and my bridal party was also very happy. The experience day-of was great and everyone was so positive and enjoyable to work with. I wish I had a little more time before I did my first look, so I'd recommend going a little earlier and communicating with the team about your preferences for the schedule. Even though I felt a little stressed, Lulu (the makeup artist) took her time and did not make me feel rushed at all. I had such a great time the morning of my wedding and these women were a big part of that!

I booked Soft Serve for my wedding in August of 2025 and it was the best decision I could make! Marta was attentive, professional and even put together a creative overview to ensure everything reflected our wedding theme and tone. I will definitely be booking again for future events.
