“Signature DJs was the perfect choice for our wedding! From the beginning, we had a direct line of communication with our DJ, Brandon, which made the planning process a breeze. Brandon helped us gather the motivation to actually sit down and choose songs for the ceremony and gave us great recommendations as needed, which was so helpful. On the day of, Signature DJs provided superb value - they kept the party going the whole night, just as we wanted, and ensured there was a great variety of music to please all our guests.

Toano, VA
  • Planner
  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $2,495

​Planning a wedding is hard! There are so many details that go into planning a successful event...especially a wedding. Not only do you need the big things covered (venue, food, music) but the smallest of details can make your day amazing...or stressful (did you remember to pack your comfy shoes?). You're inviting all of your family and friends to share this day with you for a reason. You not only want your day to be an amazing experience for you as a couple, but for your guests too. Let us help you do that. I've assembled a team of wedding ninjas, and we're looking forward to helping make your day the best it can be.

“I cannot begin to express how amazing Kellie and Brandon were to work with! We met them at the Richmond Wedding Expo and were so glad we did, I cannot imagine my wedding without them. Kellie dealt with my millions of questions, specific requests, and ensured that my wedding went smoothly and had all the personal touches and details that I had dreamed of. She was so easy to talk to, always prepared with the next steps we needed to discuss, and helped reach out to my other vendors to ensure everyone was on task and had everything we needed for the day. Brandon was also amazing, working with my request to have family play us down the aisle, keeping the party going throughout the night, and generally ensuring all the events and announcements occurred on time. We loved his energy and appreciated him working with everyone’s very different music taste to find a perfect blend! We did the Signed, Sealed & Delivered Package and were so glad we did. Everyone loved the photobooth and the sparkler exit, but as mentioned, the “Day One” wedding coordination was invaluable, I genuinely do not know how we could have pulled off a wedding without these two! If you are looking for an amazing team who will ensure that your wedding is exactly what you dreamed of, that will allow you to spend your wedding day focused on your new spouse rather than worrying about details, and who will ensure your vendors come together as a team to make your day magical, then Signature Details/DJs are the people for you. Thank you both so much for everything you did for us!!!”

Summer Gibbs Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Toano, VA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500

For 20 years I’ve had the privilege of documenting love stories in more than ten countries, capturing weddings rich with emotion and once-in-a-lifetime moments. I’m now happily settled in Williamsburg and throughout Central Virginia, where I balance my passion for photography with life as a proud mom to my feisty young daughter. Weddings still light me up the same way they did on day one—the passion, the quiet, sweet glances, the joyful chaos on the dance floor, the deep, unspoken connection between two people promising forever.

“Summer is the absolutely best wedding photographer.....you can not go wrong! We had a desination wedding in the Bahamas and all the pictures were breathtaking. I am not photogenic but she made me look like a model! People could not stop talking about how gorgeous our pictures were.”

“We had Evan officiate our wedding/elopement and he was fantastic. From our first conversation, Evan was relaxed and easy to work with, which helped us feel calm about the whole process. The whole experience was natural and fun. We chose a sunset beach wedding and quickly realizing my (now) wife's love of sunset photos stopped right in the middle to get a photo of us just before the sun went down...and we loved that ability to read the moment. We'd absolutely recommend Married By Evan to any couple looking for a professional, fun, relaxed officiant.”

  • Serves Toano, VA

Darling and Dapper Studio isn’t just a salon; it’s a haven for confidence. Founded by Elizabeth Darling, whose own journey of self-discovery led her to create a space where beauty is cultivated from within, rather than just painted on. Here, amidst the plants and warm, cozy ambiance, a team of experts don’t just style brides for their wedding day; they empower all individuals to radiate confidence that extends far beyond the salon. With each brushstroke and hairstyling flourish, they build a canvas of inner beauty, reminding every guest that their worth shines brightest from within.

Awarded Best of Zola
“As the bride, I wanted to capture the fleeting, unforgettable moments of our big day (while looking my absolute best) as I’ve been told it goes by in the blink of an eye! I was fortunate enough to receive a recommendation for an incredibly talented hair and makeup studio from a family member who used Darling and Dapper for her wedding in October of 2024. After reading the different artist descriptions on the Darling and Dapper website, I knew Taylor Shira and Carolina Updegraff were going to be a perfect fit for what I was looking for on the day of the wedding! Taylor and Carolina exceeded my every expectation! What struck me most about Taylor was her ability to help create a calm, inviting atmosphere on the day of the wedding. She is such a sweet, energetic person with such a positive personality to boot. What struck me most about Carolina was her ability to recreate the exact makeup look from any inspiration picture you show her. She is such a sweet, warm person and she and Taylor are the exact kind of people you want to spend time with on what is typically a very overwhelming day! Their attention to detail and artistic eyes brought out the true beauty in myself and all my bridesmaids. I truly have never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day thanks to Taylor and Carolina. Taylor and Carolina are not only a master with any hair or makeup style you throw at them, but they are also true professionals. We chose to get ready in the bridal suite of our hotel and they both arrived on time, maintained a friendly and approachable demeanor, and made us feel truly at ease throughout the whole day! Their level of communication is impeccable as they were always willing to take feedback (without taking it to heart) and truly listen to what you were hoping to achieve with your look, so we knew we were in good hands the day of the wedding. With our wedding being an outdoor wedding, on July 12th, in Virginia, I was slightly nervous that my makeup was going to be ruined before we even made it to cocktail hour, but Carolina worked tirelessly to support my dream of having my desired look (and boy did she succeed)! Taylor worked tirelessly (up until I left the building to walk down the aisle) to support my dream of having cascading curls down my back and cascade (and last) they did! My six bridesmaids all chose different hair and makeup inspirations and were all extremely pleased with their work. Working with Taylor and Carolina has been an absolute pleasure from my bridal hair trial session to the end of the wedding day. Their exceptional talent, professionalism, and dedication to their craft makes them a stand out choice in the world of bridal hair and makeup! I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking extraordinary hair and makeup and an unforgettable wedding day! - Mrs. Canavos”

I love to see that because, as a photographer, I work closely with the staff so we can make the couple's day just as they imagined. There are great spots to get photos, just a short distance from the clubhouse.

“https://fb.watch/vutQlKGyby/ My name is Cynthia. I am the bride's mother, and this is a review of the amazing team of vendors who helped me execute the vision for my daughter's wedding. It all started close to two years ago when my daughter Madison called me to tell me she had just gotten engaged. Around two months later, she created her Pinterest board and showed it to me, and just like that... that was my queue! I was a wedding planner so I know how much work and planning a wedding takes. I called Madison and told her we would start interviewing vendors immediately. She asked if it was too soon and my answer was no! Weddings take about a year to a year and a half to plan. At the time Madison was a full-time employee and studying to get her Master's degree, so she was very limited in all of the planning, her main focus was finishing school before the wedding. Living in a different state, I depended on the internet, reviews, and calling each vendor to get a feel for how they responded to me and my views. This wedding was going to be a very organic yet elegant vegan wedding. My daughter had given me her vision and it was up to me to bring it to life. After many over-the-phone interviews, the vendors we chose were the perfect fit, the perfect DREAM TEAM! They all knew I lived in Miami and my daughter's wedding was in Virginia, so this would be a little more challenging for all of us. WEDDING PLANNER: E&E Design Company, Katie and Maegan, these two ladies are nothing short of AMAZING! They knew I was in the wedding planning business, Katie and Maegan listened, let me run through all my ideas, and then enhanced my vision and made it happen. These two ladies met with me on the day of the wedding at 10:00 AM and did not end until midnight, both of them are such hard workers. Meagan and Katie, you are always happy, positive, and helpful they are AWESOME! I appreciate you more than you know, thank you for making my daughter so happy! This was Madison and Nikko's DREAM WEDDING, and it was all created with lots of love and support. IT WAS EPIC! Cynthia Mother of the Bride”

“From the absolute first moment I contacted Alaina, she was so attentive and responsive to me and that followed through all the way to the wedding day and even after! During the makeup trial she was incredible and knew the exact look i was going for since she had a questionnaire and wanted to know exactly what the bride wanted! She absolutely loves what she does and you can tell with how much time and effort she puts in to her work, to make sure you have the exact vision you are going for. She made me and my bridal party look and feel the most beautiful we have ever been. I would recommend her a million times again for any bride or anyone looking for a makeup artist, I promise you will not be disappointed. Alaina you are a natural at what you do!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for everything you did to make me feel and look my absolute best!!”

  • Serves Toano, VA

Hi there, I'm Jessica! One of my favorite things about being a wedding florist is getting to create living art. This kind of art is never stagnant, never monotonous. The medium represents growth, connection and love- a perfect symbol to surround my beautiful couples on their wedding day.

“Working with Jessica was a treat. She was an incredible listener and translated our inspiration into reality spectacularly. Her arrangements were dynamic, structural, cohesive and so intentionally crafted. We shared some specific elements/colors we wanted and she was able to run with our ideas and turn them into a full floral design vision board. Jessica had candles and votives, and sourced these gorgeous ribbons for the bouquets. She thoughtfully incorporated all our requests and was happy to adjust throughout the planning process. I can’t recommend her more highly!”
