The Best Wedding Vendors in Thurmont, MD

“Working with Sarah from Sleeping Bee Designs was an absolute joy from start to finish. From our very first conversation, she brought such calm, positive energy that immediately put us at ease. We hired her for wedding coordination, and she went far beyond what we ever expected. Sarah has an incredible gift for organization and attention to detail, but what really makes her special is the heart she puts into her work. She took the time to understand what was important to us and made sure every part of our day reflected that. She was always thinking ahead, handling every change or challenge with complete confidence and care. When our plans shifted and we added more guests, she kept everything perfectly on track. She worked so smoothly with our vendors and made sure every timeline and detail fell into place. On the wedding day, she ensured everything looked beautiful, especially our ceremony space, which she made absolutely stunning. One of the funniest and most memorable moments of the day was when she helped coordinate a surprise first look between my husband and my brother. It was such a fun, lighthearted moment that everyone loved, and Sarah handled it perfectly. She truly brought everything together in a way that let us fully relax and enjoy every second. Her kindness, professionalism, and genuine care made us feel so supported. She treated our wedding as if it were her own, and it showed in every detail. We are beyond grateful for Sarah and her amazing team at Sleeping Bee Designs. She is talented, thoughtful, and absolutely wonderful to work with. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more because of her. If you are lucky enough to have Sarah as your coordinator, you will be in the best hands possible. She is simply the best.”

“Caroline and the Protea team truly made our day perfect from start to finish! She thought through every detail with us beforehand, and as soon as she was involved, we felt so confident she would help us execute our vision. We also used Caroline for design services, who helped organize a chaotic vision into one that was concise, easy to share with other vendors, and STUNNING. Could not recommend Caroline and team more - her professionalism from Day 1 to Wedding Day made her so valuable to us, and she truly felt like a member of our family that day.”

“Kay is absolutely incredible. She’s the sweetest person I’ve ever met and you can tell she just love to capture your memories in the most beautiful way she can. She’s not just some photographer telling you to say cheese and move it along, she’s going to be your friend by the end! We still communicate via social media and she’s just so relatable and kind. I can’t stress enough how huge her heart is and you can tell by the work she puts out. My wedding and engagement photos were stunning. She captured everything from candid to posed with absolute perfection. I got married almost 3 years ago and I still am obsessed with my wedding photos. You will not regret booking Kay.

“We are so grateful to have had Maddie from DMV Weddings & Events as our day of coordinator! From the very beginning, she was incredibly kind, organized, and always open to my ideas and any changes I had along the way, which I truly appreciated. Since I had not been to many weddings before planning my own, I really appreciated having her guidance when making decisions. She was always so patient, helpful, and generous with her time, and she made the planning process feel much easier. On our wedding day, she made everything feel stress-free. She kept everything running smoothly, made sure we stayed on schedule, and handled everything behind the scenes so we could truly enjoy every moment. We cannot recommend Maddie and DMV Weddings & Events enough. Having her by our side on our wedding day was one of the best decisions we made, and we are so thankful for everything she did to make our day so special!”

“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. We seriously had nothing to worry about day of, even a makeup stain on my wedding dress was no match for Megan! If you're on the fence about hiring a day of coordinator, just do it.

“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”

“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”

“We had our wedding at Caboose Farm on October 25, 2025, and it was truly the most perfect day. One of the biggest reasons we chose this venue was the layout and how relaxed and easy everything felt from the start. We rented five of the houses on the property for the weekend, which allowed our families to stay together in big groups. It made the entire experience feel like a getaway, and having our house right next door to the event space was incredibly convenient. We rented the property for Friday and Saturday, held our rehearsal on Friday, and our wedding on Saturday. We had access to the event barn both days without any issues, which made setting up and settling in stress free. Our ceremony was in the woods, and it felt like something out of a dream. The foliage was beautiful and made for amazing pictures. Guests could walk or take the tractor wagon to the ceremony spot, which everyone loved. We added blankets to the wagon, and guests brought their drinks for a fun ride out. They also recently added a field of wildflowers on the property, and some of my favorite photos were taken there. A golf cart was available to help two of our guests who needed extra support get to and from the ceremony site comfortably. Cocktail hour was outside on the terrace that is connected to the event barn. The hanging lights made it feel romantic and cozy, and guests could step inside if they got chilly. The bar area and theatre room were right inside through a double door, and the theatre room was perfect for playing a slideshow of us. We were also able to have our dogs with us both days, which meant so much. Colby, the property manager, was incredible from start to finish. He made sure we were taken care of and that everything ran smoothly. The staff were also incredibly kind and helpful, which made the whole weekend feel effortless. Any time a small question or worry came up, Colby stepped in and handled it. I remember talking through whether our caterer needed to pre cut fruit for our specialty cocktails, and he immediately said their bartender could take care of it the night before. He also kept an eye on the weather and checked in with me about moving our rehearsal dinner indoors if needed. Little things like that helped me get through the weekend with so much less stress. The venue provided the ceremony arch, coolers for pre ceremony drinks, all the tables, chairs, linens, and napkins. We had 113 guests, and the indoor reception space fit everyone perfectly without feeling tight or crowded. Everything from the rehearsal dinner to the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception flowed beautifully. Caboose Farm gave us a wedding weekend we will never forget, and I truly cannot recommend it highly enough.”

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.

“We are so so happy we chose Livvy to be our wedding videographer! She is the absolute sweetest and you can tell she loves her craft and loves working with couples to capture one of their happiest days. She offers a few things that really set her apart from other videographers that I have not seen before. The first is the "Love Story" shoot, where she meets the couple in advance of the wedding and interviews each person individually about their relationship and how they fell in love etc., then puts together a video that we shared with family and friends and posted on our wedding website! Livvy was generous enough to come all the way to our (last minute rescheduled) engagement photoshoot with our photographer to capture moments of that on video to include in the interview clips filmed right after the photoshoot. That also allowed her and our photographer to get to know each other before wedding day! The other cool thing Livvy offers is the Motion Books wedding video album which we are so excited to receive! It is essentially a book that when you open it, it has an electronic screen and starts playing your wedding video! We cannot wait to get it and put it on our coffee table for all of our guests (and ourselves) to easily re-experience the fun and beauty of the day. She also will be sending all of the raw unedited footage of the wedding which we cannot wait to see, and relive all parts of the day. Even with all of these extra special touches she includes in her packages, her prices are incredibly reasonable and provide an amazing value to what she offers. Overall Livvy is such a kind, caring soul who makes all of her couples feel special and comfortable and would definitely recommend her for all of your videography needs!!”

“Christopher, an attorney in NY- NJ and I, a Chiropractor in the Virgin Islands, are very busy with our careers. It was difficult planning a wedding, so we required vendors that are easy to work with. Mike always answered our emails and texts and returned phone calls ASAP. We reviewed different DJ's and selected Mike because we wanted Latin Caribbean music plus American music for our entertainment. We put together a last-minute wedding reception plan, we sent the recommendations to Mike, and he worked everything perfectly. He was able to get a feel for the crowd and put music together that worked perfectly. Mike put together a timeline that was perfect, and we were able to accommodate all aspects of our reception, which included lots of dancing. Choosing Mike was one of the best decisions in my wedding planning. Mike is easy to work with and very prompt in responding to questions. Mike is a DJ we would highly recommended. Thanks Mike.”

Brook Hill Flower Co.

“Jess from Brook Hill Flower Co. was AMAZING. From the very first time we met her, it felt like we were working with a friend. (But an incredibly relaxed, knowledgeable, creative friend). Jess took the time to listen to our plan, made suggestions to make it more reasonable and cohesive, and went above and beyond with her execution for not just florals but also aesthetics of the entire wedding. She was responsive, flexible, creative, realistic, and downright brilliant. If you love flowers and hate headaches, please choose Brook Hill Flower Co.”

Wedding Photojournalism by Roman

“My wife and I used Roman Photography's services for our wedding in 2015 - we absolutely adore the the photos. Our fun and family were captured beautifully. We loved the work so much, we contacted Roman again ten years later to do our anniversary photos. Roman came out and did another magnificent job. He kept things playful and light (we're both uncomfortable in front of the camera) but still professional. I can't recommend Roman Photography enough!”

Serves Thurmont, MD

I spent 10 years as a photojournalist covering news, sports, and political campaigns, and for the past 25 years I’ve photographed weddings with the same calm, observant approach. That experience taught me how to anticipate moments, work quickly in changing light, and capture genuine emotion without getting in the way. I focus on the natural moments as they unfold, keep portraits relaxed with gentle direction, and make family photos organized and efficient so they do not take you away from your wedding for long.

Every corner of the property felt picture-perfect, and our guests couldn't stop raving about the beautiful setting. Glen Ellen Farm made our day special, and we'd recommend them to any couple looking for a venue that combines gorgeous grounds with genuine care.”

Jkw Beauty

“I had the best experience with Jordan and Kristen for my wedding hair and makeup. The trial we did beforehand was extremely helpful to visualize the look I wanted for the big day, and were extremely responsive to feedback for tweaks and adjustments. When more people than I originally thought wanted to join hair and makeup services close to the big day, they were (thankfully for me!) able to add an additional artist last minute. I wish I lived closer to their salon so I could go there more often for more everyday occasions! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for wedding HMU services.”
