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.

Maddie did an amazing job for our wedding. She was great to work with and made our day stress free and run smoothly. She is organized and her templates helped simplify the planning process for us. We worked with her in the months leading up to the big day, and she provided great vendor recommendations that set us up for success. I was concerned I was going to be worried and stressed about setting up the venue and the overall timeline for the day but Maddie had it all under control. She also was great at checking in with us throughout the evening to make sure that the bride and groom and our families were doing well and if we didn’t have any questions or concerns.

Now, I am here to help newly engaged couples navigate all the new trends and decide what’s most important to them, while proving the planning process doesn’t have to be overwhelming.

Megan was simply amazing and this is coming from the husband. I was reluctant to hire a wedding planner just to save the cost, but I have to say Megan was so worth the extra money, not just to give my wife peace of mind the event would run smoothly and on time, she was punctual when needed. On wedding day she was running around everywhere making sure that the venue was kept in order and the things. She gave a timeline down to every five minutes and pretty much kept to it, but was extremely flexible to change. As the groom, I had little to worry about to begin with haha, but I definitely saw the work that Megan put in. Of course it had to rain on the wedding day, but she had a full Contingency plan in place weeks before making it only a mild inconvenience. Her communication skills were immaculate. We video chatted with her several times, leading up to the event, making sure everything was in order. This included a final walk-through a few weeks prior to wedding day meeting at the venue to make sure that we had planned would work. As they say, happy wife, happy life. Turns out to be a true statement.

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.

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.

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.

I booked Margo as my wedding hair stylist and she was amazing!! Her professionalism and bubbly personality made my wedding morning stress-free, and she gave me the hair style of my dreams I first booked a hair trial with Margo about a year ahead of my wedding. From the start, she was communicative, and my trial session was a lot of fun. She answered a ton of my questions about timeline, hair styles, and more. She also sent me extra reference photos when I requested them to prepare for my bridesmaids. Margo is also incredibly fast. We had a 12pm finish time, and I had 5 bridesmaids plus myself that needed their hair done. She arrived at 7:30AM and completed everyone’s hair in a timely manner. My bridesmaids had hair ranging from very naturally curly and thick to extremely straight and hard to hold a curl. Every single one of the girls’ hair held up for the entire day over 12 hours, and everyone was delighted with their chosen styles! My hair was still looking fantastic after a lot of dancing (see the attached photo of me at top golf at the end of the night!) I highly recommend Margo for an entirely stress-free morning getting ready for your wedding, and if you want you and your bridesmaids looking beautiful for the entire day. Her and her team at The Whole Story are amazing!!!

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.

Our ceremony sounds was absolutely perfect and the microphones were sooo easy to use and captured all the sound perfectly. Jon was great at making announcements, (even though it wasn't planned) like when he had to tell people to go to cocktail hour. We also had a photobooth package with him and the attendant did such a great job running the booth. It was definitely the most popular event and our families still raves about the pictures they took!

The most perfect wedding venue! I couldn’t have imagined getting married anywhere other than Glen Ellen. Every area of the venue is stunning! The owner, Debbie, was absolutely amazing to work with! She was extremely helpful throughout the whole planning process and during the event itself. She truly cares about her clients and will ensure that your day goes exactly as you envisioned. Our guests had nothing but amazing things to say about this beautiful venue. I’m so happy we chose Glen Ellen!

Ceresville Mansion was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the beginning, the staff was caring, quick to respond, and considerate of all our requests. The venue itself is an amazing space, with beautiful gardens that provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. The all-inclusive package they offered was an incredible value, and the vendors they recommended were truly outstanding. They worked with us to make so many custom requests a reality, and our wedding day was more beautiful and amazing than we could have even dreamed of. The food was insanely good, and the entire team at Ceresville Mansion contributed to making our wedding day absolutely perfect.

Of all these things, put on love…..My approach is simple. I’m there for you. That’s it. -ana

On the wedding day, Ana did an amazing job capturing bright, airy and beautiful photos that will allow us to relive the special moments for years to come. Ana truly captured the vibe of our wedding, making it etched in time as lasting memories we'll cherish.

Maryland National was the PERFECT venue for our wedding! From the very beginning, Reghan and the whole team were incredible. Reghan went above and beyond to help us plan everything – she was so easy to work with and always had the best recommendations. I loved how easy it was to communicate with her through email. We got married at our church, but had the reception at Maryland National. They even let us use the club to get ready since our church didn't have a space! The girls got ready upstairs, and the guys used the locker rooms, which was amazing for getting-ready photos. Plus, the food was delicious! What we loved most was that we didn't have to set up or clean up anything – Maryland National took care of it all. We didn't even have to take decorations home the night of the wedding! We could pick them up the next day. It was the most perfect day, and we can't thank Reghan and the staff enough. Seriously, if you're looking for an amazing venue, this is it!

Caroline and her team provided the flowers for our recent wedding at Brookside Gardens and they were absolutely breathtaking! We provided some inspiration photos as well as our wedding colors, and we could not believe how stunning the flowers were… Just look at those colors!

One of the best decisions we made was to hire Desmond and team. They went above and beyond our expectations. They were so easy to work with. We had to postpone our wedding twice because of Covid-19, they were so accommodating. They did not only created a great video of our wedding, they also told our story. Desmond and team – thank you all again so much! You can hire a wedding videographer to capture your day but it is hard to find a great filmmaker to tell your story. Don't think twice, hire Desmond and his team let them capture your story, you won't regret it!

I cannot sing Emma’s praises enough!!! We hired Emma as a month-of coordinator and are fully convinced she is the sole reason our wedding went off without a hitch! We had over 200 people and our ceremony was at a different location from our reception—no small undertaking—and from the moment we started working together, we knew our wedding was in good hands. Emma is extremely organized and has the perfect demeanor for this type of work. When I was actively pulling my hair out with stress (and a venue that was less than forthcoming about a conflict with our event space), Emma stepped up and made sure everything went smoothly, all while remaining calm, cool and collected. Emma was SO easy to work with and is a pleasure to be around. She also has a great inventory of items to bolster your décor—we ended up renting a card box and table numbers from her that she printed and designed with our names on it! She helped us hone our vision and refine our timeline, all while making sure everything was finalized to our liking! She put out every fire that popped up and truly felt like our wedding day guardian angel. Do yourself a favor and book Simply Grater Events!!!
