I honestly can't say enough amazing things about The Antrim 1844 Hotel! We had the most incredible wedding experience here, and I'm so grateful we found this gem. We actually heard about Antrim from a coworker whose family had their wedding there last spring. It wasn't even on our radar before that, but now I can't imagine our wedding taking place anywhere else! During our planning process, we got to see so many different weddings they were hosting, and I was blown away by their unique ability to make everything from small intimate gatherings to expansive celebrations not just work, but work beautifully! They really know how to adapt to each couple's vision. Working with Jill was such a joy! She made the entire planning process feel effortless and actually fun. She was so flexible with all our changes and took the time to walk us through backup plans for weather, which gave us such peace of mind knowing we were covered no matter what. We got lucky with lovely weather and got married in their rose garden, and oh my goodness - it was so breathtakingly gorgeous that we barely needed to add any decorations! The natural beauty spoke for itself and created the most romantic, dreamy backdrop for our vows. Having so many family members and friends traveling to join us, the wedding weekend stay option was a game-changer! The complimentary breakfast for overnight guests was such a thoughtful touch - it meant everyone could wake up together and start each day without any stress about finding food. It really made the whole wedding weekend feel like one big family celebration. The bridal suite in the main mansion was absolutely perfect for getting ready! There was space for our entire wedding party plus my mom and friends to get ready together, and it provided the most beautiful backdrop for photos. We got so many stunning getting-ready shots in that gorgeous space! The food was absolutely delicious - both during our tasting and on the big day! Our guests are still raving about it. The team worked so seamlessly with all our other vendors too, making sure everyone felt welcomed and taken care of. We were thrilled about the veterans discount, which let us add some extra special touches like a dessert bar, upgraded appetizers, and shade canopies for the ceremony. They made it so easy to customize everything within our budget. Every single guest has told us what an amazing time they had, and we're already excited to come back for anniversaries! We've heard their holiday decorations are absolutely spectacular, so we're definitely planning a winter visit. If you're looking for a venue that combines stunning natural beauty, incredible service, amazing food, and a team that genuinely cares about making your day perfect, The Antrim 1844 Hotel is IT. We couldn't have asked for a more magical place to start our life together!

Haley Cassera Collective

  • Photographer

  • Starts at $600
  • Serves Smithsburg, MD

Hi, I’m Haley (most people call me Hayy), founder and Creative Director of Haley Cassera Collective. I believe the best photographs aren’t perfectly posed—they’re the ones that make you feel something years later. My approach is a blend of documentary storytelling and natural guidance, creating space for genuine moments while making you feel completely at ease in front of the camera. I’m there to preserve it genuinely and authentically. My goal is for you to be fully present while I document the moments you’ll never want to forget.

We knew Haley Cassera Collective was the right choice for us the moment we started talking with her. From day one, she brought an upbeat energy that made planning feel exciting rather than stressful. During our wedding, Haley had this amazing ability to capture genuine moments without interrupting the flow of our celebration—she seemed to understand exactly what we wanted and blended in seamlessly with our guests. She picked up on our style right away and delivered photos that felt authentically us. What really stood out was how supportive and fun she was throughout the entire day, making everyone around her feel comfortable and energized. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to document our wedding.

Finding the right videographer and photographer is a priority next to catering in my opinion! If you fail on getting the right one, you can’t take your wedding day back! Fine art blew us away with their professionalism and truly remarkable eye for art and emotion in their work.

I've had a camera in my hand since I was at least ten years old. Photography has always been something I've been passionate about. I was the friend that captured all the memories in high school. Once I got older, and more interested in this becoming something real, I decided to start my business in 2018. I've had the pleasure of working with the most loving clients ever since.

If you're looking for a photographer who's both super talented and incredibly fun to work with, I can't recommend Kay enough! She's so down-to-earth and ready for anything. Whether you have a unique concept you want to explore or you're a bit shy and need some guidance, Kay is fantastic at making you feel comfortable and directing you effortlessly. Plus, her aesthetic is amazing—those warm tones are just beautiful. If that's your vibe, you'll absolutely love working with her cause I 100% did and keep coming back for more!

Hiring Mike as our wedding DJ was one of the best decisions we made!! From our first meeting, Mike was professional and friendly, providing us with a lot of information and answering all of our questions. After we booked with him, he set up an easy-to-use app for us to select our songs, write notes about the reception, and communicate any special instructions. It helped us keep track of what to prepare and how to plan the timeline of our day since we didn't have a wedding planner. Mike also came to an in person meeting with our venue so he could be prepared for the wedding day, and he was completely set up and ready when we arrived for cocktail hour and dinner. The wedding day could not have gone better: not only was Mike on point with all the music choices we made, he created an excellent vibe for our guests. We had a lot of families with young adults and older parents, and Mike played music that appealed to both crowds. His emcee skills are excellent, and he was flexible with a few adjustments to the timeline throughout the night. Mike’s son JC worked our photobooth, and he was just as professional and friendly. His upbeat attitude and excitement for the day was well appreciated, and all of our guests were happy with their photobooth experiences. If you want a smooth, efficient wedding day with top tier vibes, Mike is the guy to hire!!

Aside from my love for all-things-events-and-weddings, I am a cat mom, dog mom (to the best dog ever, truly), goofy type-A (yes, we exist). I love everything coffee, purple, and vintage; I almost never go somewhere without red lipstick. And you’ll probably see me somewhere in downtown Frederick at least twice a week. The SBD team has a team of Leads and Assistants of all backgrounds but we all share a love for logistics and supporting couples on their special day!

This lady is a god damned delight. Early in the planning process, my mother died and it totally sapped me of any appetite for planning. I felt overwhelmed, but when we hired Sarah she helped us turn it all around. She held our hands through the hard part and then helped us stay on task and organized when our energy and excitement came back. She helped us navigate being out of the country for 3 of the six months prior to the wedding. She already had experience and relationships with most of our vendors, which helped those contracts go more smoothly and meant less management from us was required. She was 100% ready to get behind any project we could come up with — she supported our vision like it was her own. Whenever I asked her to find someone who could bring an idea to life, she always did so quickly and often with options to choose from. Her depth of connections meant that when I needed a new photographer with just six weeks to go, she was able to give me at least ten available and talented options in 24 hours. She is a wedding planner pro. Most importantly, she is just a lot of FUN and FUNNY. We enjoyed spending time with her on our monthly check in calls, at tastings, walk throughs, and finally the weekend of the wedding itself. She’s a joyful, quirky, nonjudgmental person who really loves weddings and helping couples have the day of their dreams. She is an LGBTQ affirming vendor which is obviously very important to us as a queer couple. She was extremely RESPONSIVE to all communication and I don’t think I ever waited more than 24 hours to hear back from her. Her planning expertise prior to the actual weekend was invaluable, but she really was our angel during the wedding weekend. She handled the details so that we could stay present and actually enjoy our party! Thank you Sarah for being such a great partner in bringing this wedding to life. We had the best time with you and miss you already.

Zigbone Farm Retreat is a stunning wedding and event venue nestled in the rolling hills and valleys of the Catoctin Mountains, near both Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and Frederick, Maryland -- and only one hour from Washington DC and Baltimore. The 100-acre farm features beautifully and naturally restored historic farmhouses and breathtaking views, all combining into a stunning backdrop for your celebration. ZigBone Farm Retreat offers different packages to meet your needs, from a 3-day Wedding Weekend that includes two nights' accommodations to a day wedding tailored to your vision. Zigbone Farm Retreat was designed to inspire great meetings. The lodge is spacious as well as cozy and has several porches and patios with stunning views of the valley. The event hall seats up to 100 people. ZigBone also functions as a wedding venue for up to 140 guests, including accommodation for up to 25 people, event hall plus tent, tables, chairs and the help of a site coordinator.

Zigbone Farm was the spiritual heart of our wedding. As soon as we booked this venue, everything flowed from there. Schedule, design and theme, decisions about other vendors and guest list — everything else became easier because this venue provided such a gorgeously strong anchor point in the middle of our special celebration. What more can you ask for? Every single vendor commented on the uncommon beauty and peace of this venue. We loved having our welcome dinner here on Friday night and having a local vendor make pizza in the cob oven. On Saturday when it rained, we didn’t have to worry because we knew the lodge house would beautifully accommodate our guests for cocktail hour and that the pavilion and event hall would be fine if the rain didn’t stop (it did, and we got a double rainbow!). On Sunday, we hosted a beautiful farewell breakfast. It was so wonderful to be able to have so many friends stay on site with us, and to have some space from them in the bridal suite. Not having to leave the property once during the entire weekend was such a blessing and kept things from feeling too busy or crazy. Marijke was our main contact and she was so quick to respond to any questions we had and really fun to interact with. She clearly loves this place and has a deep enthusiasm for the couples who celebrate there. Our guests who stayed on site felt so spoiled and kept remarking on how relaxed they felt, that it felt like a true retreat for them even amid a busy schedule of events. We really hope to return to Zigbone for a reunion one day, what a special sacred place. I cannot recommend it enough to any couple marrying. Especially as a queer couple, we felt deeply affirmed, safe and celebrated here. Thank you Marijke and Dena!!

We cannot put into words how thankful we are for our day-of-wedding coordinator, Caroline. From the moment she started, she took complete command of the day with grace, professionalism, and a calming presence that allowed us to actually enjoy our wedding reception without stress. She went above and beyond in every possible way – from handling last-minute delays with vendors, to keeping the entire timeline on track and flexible as things changed, to managing every tiny detail we hadn’t even thought of such as keeping me the bride hydrated lol. She was even kind enough to carry decor in her own car to drop it off at my house as our own cars were full. What impressed us most was her ability to anticipate needs before we even realized them. She was two steps ahead at every turn, always checking in with kindness but never intruding. Her professionalism was matched only by her genuine warmth – we felt like we had a friend by our side who truly cared about making our day perfect. Our parents couldn’t stop raving about how hardworking Caroline was! If you’re on the fence about hiring a day-of coordinator, do it – and if you can book Caroline, consider yourself incredibly lucky. We’re endlessly grateful.

Famed, Elegant and Unique! Renovated from farmhouse to Mansion in 1872, Bowling Brook was one of the most significant horse training facilities in the nation boasting 7 Preakness winners. The mansion has been fully restored with elegant finishes while maintaining the original historic detail and charm. Located in Carroll County, Maryland and minutes away from Frederick County, Maryland.

Bowling Brook Mansion is incredible! This is a truly special venue. We offer our strongest possible recommendation, and our earnest thanks, to Debbie and her staff for making our wedding day more beautiful than we had ever imagined. The venue itself is gorgeous. The mansion is colorful and picturesque; the indoors are classy but not cluttered; the grounds are sprawling and luscious. We held our ceremony in a gorgeous, decorated, wooded grove, and took photos throughout the surrounding farmlands. We were very happy with the amount of space our guests had available to roam and mingle inside and outside the mansion. The ballroom was spacious, and with a cool summer evening, we were able to open an outdoor patio/tent area for guests to socialize. Also, when the evening wound down, we went to the roofdeck with close family and friends for a late afterparty under the stars—a gorgeous night in the countryside! Debbie and her staff are amazing. We can’t say enough about Debbie herself. She treated us like a member of her family, not just another customer. She was also easy to reach and easy to talk to throughout the planning process. She worked to understand our needs and sincerely respected our vision for our wedding, making several accommodations for our plans—such as permitting us to select off-list vendors, working with our family’s arrival time needs, and allowing us to stay in the honeymoon suite before the wedding. On our wedding day, she stayed on top of managing the vendors so that we could focus on enjoying ourselves. We owe a special thanks to Debbie’s staff for helping out in the aftermath of a hurricane. During the week before our wedding, the remnants of a tropical storm swept through Maryland. We were very worried that we would have to commit to an indoor ceremony, but the storm cleared late on Friday night, and Saturday was temperate and picturesque. Debbie and her staff arrived early Saturday morning and worked very hard to get the mansion and the grounds ready. Their hard work made our wedding day everything we wanted it to be. Thanks again to Debbie and her team. If you’re getting married in Maryland, we earnestly encourage you to consider Bowling Brook! (Photo Credit: Tom Bennett Photography)

Megan is the absolute best! We used her day of coordinating service and it was one of the best choices we made throughout the planning process. From the very beginning, she made us feel comfortable. She truly took the time to not only get to know what our wants and needs were for the wedding, but also who we were as a couple. She is insanely organized, detailed oriented, and definitely knows her stuff when it comes to the wedding industry. We had full confidence in Megan and her team to execute our vision for the day and they delivered.

Caboose Farm!!! We saw a few pictures online and fell in love. It had everything we wanted, houses on-site for us to host family and friends, beautiful open venue to walk around and so may places to host the ceremony. We saw two other venues before visiting Caboose and we made our decision before even leaving the property. Colby was so helpful, answered all our questions, was patient and very flexible. He gave amazing recommendations for catering and a tent and truly pulled through. It's crazy how much he does every weekend. Our wedding weekend was the most perfect weekend and we wish we could relive it again and again and that has so much to do with this perfect venue. The massive tree was the best spot, such beautiful places to take our couple photos, reception area was so great; literally no negative notes. My family was so happy they all got to pile into one house together. Similarly our friends loved being able to bounce around from house to house and no one had to drive. We're so glad we chose this venue for our wedding. 11/10 would recommend and 12/10 would do it again if we could. Thank you Colby and the rest of the Caboose Farm team for such an incredible weekend!!!

Your wedding is your first act of hospitality as a married couple! Our aim is to show everyone a great time on your behalf, and do you hella dang proud. That is our guiding belief when helping you plan the most swelegant soirée you've ever thrown.

Your vendors will truly shape the energy of your wedding, and our experience with Alex from the Dapper DJs is a perfect example of this. From the beginning, Alex was so easy to work with and made the planning process so much fun. He was so enthusiastic about our day and our music choices and felt more like a friend than just a wedding vendor! We were looking for a very specific energy with our DJ and wanted to stay away from the typical over the top cheesiness. Alex could not have been more of a fit for our day. He had such relaxed energy and his entire set up was so in line with the feel of our wedding. We had a very vintage inspired day and his vintage set up and suitcases were such a great addition to the reception room. He executed everything perfectly and was even willing to operate our DIY disco ball set up. For the ceremony and the reception he was on point with all of the timing and cues and truly brought our vision to life. The dance floor was full the entire night and our guests are still talking about how awesome it was. Thank you so much to Alex and to the Dapper DJs team for helping make our day so unforgettable.. We are truly grateful!! Ariel & Matthew Hindman

Capturing the real unforgettable moment on your wedding day is a privilege I take very seriously. I will be there to support you through the entire wedding process and then fist pump along side you on the dance floor. My main goal is to provide you with an incredible experience. A quick background about me, I am a born and raised Maryland girl. I am married to the love of my life, we have two beautiful daughters and two sweet pups! When I'm not photographing I'm usually paddle boarding, cooking, or going to amusement parks with my family. I cannot wait to capture your most precious memories that will last a life time!

Jessi is AMAZING, point blank period. She came recommended to me by another photographer that I know, and from the first phone call my fiancé and I had with her, we all just clicked, and I knew that it was a perfect match. Jessi is organized and responsive, and was super detailed about explaining her processes with us. She’s also really outgoing, and got along with absolutely everyone that she interacted with at our wedding, and we got told over and over again by our friends and family that they all loved her just as much as we did! Our pictures turned out so beautifully, and captured not only the beautiful scenery, but also the overall vibes and highlights of our day. It’s amazing that even without words, the photos that Jessi took will take us back to the best day of our lives forever. We would recommend Jessi 1000x over, and we’ll definitely be asking her to capture milestones for us as long as she’s working

My love for floral design began inside the horticulture classroom at my high school. That classroom played a pivotal role in allowing me to be creative in ways that I never had been before. When I left for college, My goal was to study business in order to operate my own Floral Business but I quickly lost track of that dream. The pandemic served as a wake up call for me just like it did for so many others. Allowing me to rediscover my love for flowers and all things beautiful. Bazarr Blossoms is more than a business its a passion that allows me to stay true to that teenager who once created and dreamed inside that high school classroom.

Awarded Best of Zola
Bazarr did a phenomenal drop bring my vision to life. I wanted our wedding to feel very warm and romantic. She assisted me with picking the flowers that matched the look I was seeking. She was super flexible, transparent with pricing, and her response time to questions and concerns were instant. We got married in July on a hot summer day. She insured that our flowers were in great condition on a hot humid day by keeping them cool and watered. I would highly recommend her for services.

There are truly not enough words to describe what Darshan means to us and how much of our wedding’s beauty, joy, and peace came from him. When we think back on our wedding journey, one of the biggest blessings in it was finding Darshan and the ShubhMangal Events team. From our very first conversation, there was something so genuine and comforting about him. In the middle of all the chaos, emotions, decisions, and stress that come with planning a wedding, Darshan became the person who constantly reminded us that everything would be okay — and somehow, it always was. He didn’t just help plan our wedding; he carried our dreams with so much care, patience, and love as if they were his own. Every little detail mattered to him because he knew it mattered to us. There were so many moments where he went above and beyond in ways people will never fully see — the late-night calls, the constant reassurance, the problem-solving behind the scenes, the way he quietly handled everything so we could stay present and happy. We never once felt like “clients.” We felt genuinely cared for. And on the wedding day… it honestly felt magical. Not because everything was extravagant or perfect in the traditional sense, but because everything felt full of heart. We were able to look around, hold each other’s hands, laugh with our families, cry happy tears, and actually live in every moment without worrying about a single thing. That gift is something we will carry with us forever, and it was only possible because Darshan poured so much of himself into making our day special. What makes Darshan unforgettable is not just his talent or professionalism — though he has both in abundance — it’s the kind of person he is. He has the rare ability to make people feel safe, celebrated, understood, and important during one of the most emotional times of their lives. You can feel how deeply he cares in everything he does. Years from now, when we look back at our wedding, we will remember the love, the happiness, and the feeling of being surrounded by people who truly wanted the best for us. Darshan will always be part of that memory. Thank you, Darshan, for giving us more than a beautiful wedding. Thank you for giving us peace, joy, and moments we will treasure for the rest of our lives. We will never forget everything you did for us. — Rupin & Malavika

My goal is to make sure every video I create represents you as the couple exactly as you are and tells the story of your day in a way that preserves the emotion and memories for years to come. I love to work with people from all walks of life and am inclusive of every type of love story. As I grow in my art and in my business, I find myself leaning more and more toward authenticity. During your day, I want to capture your true selves, therefore I do very little posing or staging. I will gently guide you during couples portraits, or point you toward the best light, but other than that, I strive to be as unobstrusive as possible.

Awarded Best of Zola
We looked at so many videographers and watched so many wedding videos. Livvy’s style was exactly what we were looking for. She was super responsive and easy to work with from day one, and her packages were incredibly reasonable. When we met to do our love story, Livvy was fun and made sure we were both comfortable. She gave great direction so we never felt awkward. She really was an incredible hype girl the whole time, which made us feel even more comfortable about being in front of a camera. I’m pretty sure she got us our love story in around 24 hours (benefits of the off season!) I cry every time I watch it. I’m just in awe of her artistry…the questions she asked us and the way she wove our answers together tells our story so beautifully….it’s truly something we will treasure forever. On our wedding day, Livvy was awesome. She really was a ninja in getting her shots, because after our couples portraits, I didn’t even see her until she was getting ready to leave! We got our teaser trailer pretty quickly, and we got our full video not long after that, and every time we watch it, we notice another subtle detail that just blows us away (one of my favorite details is how when I mentioned our dog in my vows, she overlaid video of us with our dog before the ceremony). When we got our motion book (which is another fantastic bonus of booking Livvy!), the screen was cracked, but we contacted Livvy and she had a replacement ordered and sent in like 24 hours! We can’t say enough great things about Livvy. If you are on the fence about hiring a videographer–just do it, and hire Livvy if you can. You will not regret it.

We loved working with Jon! He offered us so many great options and was incredibly accommodating with every request we had for our wedding music. He and his team are truly professional and kept the night running smoothly from start to finish. The “dancing on the clouds” feature was such a magical touch for our night sky themed wedding—it made our first dance feel truly unforgettable. We also booked the "retro" photo booth which was a huge hit! Our guests were using it all night long with help from the lovely Shelby. You absolutely NEED this photo booth at your wedding—it’s such a fun experience and an amazing keepsake! We had the best time looking through all the photos afterward. A special shout-out to District Harmony for performing during our ceremony and cocktail hour- they were fantastic! Walking down the aisle to their rendition of “Merry-Go-Round of Life” was a dream come true. Everyone commented on how great they sounded. They were the perfect addition to our day!

The Hummingbird Chateau was the perfect choice for our wedding venue! From the beginning, Leah’s communication was quick and responsive, which was greatly appreciated during the busy wedding planning process. The space itself was absolutely stunning, with so many decor options to choose from, multiple areas we could choose from for our ceremony and actual bathrooms for our guests! From the moment we booked I was able to call or text her with any questions I had and was also able to stop by multiple times to choose which decor pieces I wanted to use and to go over decor layouts. On the day of the wedding, Leah and the rest of the staff were there all day to help with anything we needed! They helped setup all the decor and even helped cleaned up afterwards. She also coordinated with our other vendors day of and made sure everything was running smooth! She made our day completely stress free. Seriously could not have asked for a better venue to host our special day! Leah and the staff were amazing and totally out did themselves!!

My adventure in photography began as a kid with my brightly Fisher-Price 110 camera. It had the coolest flash cubes! I shot countless rolls of film around our family farm. My mother has albums full of prints to prove it! I’ve shot photos in a variety of settings and venues and usually make my clients feel comfortable by quoting Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute and a good dose of self deprecating humor.

Barb was amazing to work with. She made us feel so comfortable both during our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. Many of our guests even mentioned how wonderful she was after the wedding was over. Not to mention, her pictures are truly works of art. You won't be disappointed if you work with Barb, it's simply not possible.
