Awarded Best of Zola
We’ve said it many times during the wedding planning process and we’ll continue to shout it to the hills: hiring Kristy and her team was the best decision we’ve ever made and the best money we’ve ever spent. From the consultation and throughout the entire process Kristy was lovely to work with and incredibly friendly and personal but also always on top of everything. She flagged so many little details that we never would have thought of but led to a much smoother wedding day. Her detailed resources, templates, and documents were invaluable, but she was also flexible when I needed to make my own spreadsheets to keep everything straight in a way that worked with my brain. The timeline she created for us was a work of art and a thing of beauty and something I could have never done on my own. She included every single facet of the event from load in and load out for every vendor down to when we needed to bring our checkbook. Handing communications with vendors to her team in the last few months was amazing and definitely reduced our stress levels. While the timeline was delayed (due to another vendor), Kristy pivoted quickly and ensured that things got back on track and as close to the plan as possible. When we changed our mind on things mid-wedding (like if we wanted a more formal send off) she ensured that it was actually what we wanted but then changed to accommodate it. She also organized tear down of all the decor so that all we had to do was show up the morning after to pick up our belongings. As a queer couple, one of whom is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, Kristy and her team made us feel welcomed and affirmed for the entire process while vetting vendors to make sure they were LGBT friendly and listing our (and our wedding party’s) pronouns on resource sheets so that the whole vendor team was aware and misgendering was as limited as possible (and never by Kristy or her team). She (or a team member?) also recommended many amazing vendors to us including our amazing DJ who had the exact vibe we wanted (gay pop dance party) and ensured the dance floor was full and everyone loved the music choices. Kristy led our rehearsal like a (very nice) drill sergeant, which made it so much more efficient and effective than others I’ve been a part of. The ceremony went off without any major hitches and everyone (including 13 wedding party members, both of our parents, our officiant, and us) knew where they needed to be and when to do what. I was incredibly impressed and super grateful. It also ensured that I didn’t need to think or worry about the little details like making sure seats were reserved and that people started walking at the right time. My only regret is that we didn’t have the budget to have her team plan our rehearsal dinner as well. That experience versus the day of the wedding was a huge contrast. On the day of, I could answer every question with “ask Kristy” and she would always have the answer. As a very anxious and “type A” person I fully trusted Kristy and her team throughout the process which was wonderful for my sanity. I was able to offload all the thinking and logistics onto her and her team and be much more present at my wedding with my now wife and friends and family. Photos by Abby Carissimo.

K Scarry Officiant Services 

5.0

  • Officiant
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Upper Marlboro, MD

Hi, I'm K - and I can't wait to meet you. I believe your wedding ceremony should be uniquely yours and one you feel proud of. As a wedding officiant, I specialize in crafting custom ceremonies that are playful, joyful, and deeply sentimental—bringing laughter and heartfelt moments to your big day.

I am not an affectionate person. I was not looking forward to being put on display in front of 200 people to get married. But I did know that K would help me get through it. K was our officiant for our Wedding in 2019 and I couldn’t have asked for a better person. As a family friend, I knew K could give us the ceremony we wanted, and boy did she deliver. We wanted spiritual but not religious, we wanted special but not cheesy, and most of all we wanted someone calm, cool, and collected like K. From the blessings before dinner to the entire ceremony she made everyone feel welcome and loved. I honestly think I looked more at K than my now husband during the ceremony because I was so nervous. K has a genuine presence that makes everyone feel included, important, and at ease. She has a calmness about her that is infectious and makes you want to be a better person. I can’t recommend K’s services enough! No matter your event, whether it be a celebration or a time of need, K will provide that beacon of light to help you get through it.

Uncloudy Studio

  • Florist
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Upper Marlboro, MD

My passion for floral design began over twenty years ago in a greenhouse in a small Michigan town, traveled through the mountains of Colorado and Arizona, to the beaches of Southern California, settling in Washington, DC. Education in graphic design has helped to sharpen my attention to detail and given me an eye for color and composition.

Jolie is an absolute ARTIST and a true joy to work with for our wedding! From the very beginning, she completely understood and embraced our vision of leaning into the holidays. She helped us refine our ideas, always coming up with thoughtful suggestions while being respectful of our choices every step of the way. Our planning process with Jolie was smooth and enjoyable, thanks to her pleasant and organized approach. In the months leading up to the wedding, she was thorough yet never overly complicated, keeping things clear and straightforward. The planning phone calls were perfectly balanced—just enough to ensure everything was sorted without adding unnecessary stress. Jolie even went above and beyond by attending our venue walk-through and doing additional site visits on her own to make sure every detail would be perfect. On the wedding day, Jolie delivered beautiful personal bouquets, and our venue set up far exceeded our expectations. She created the most gorgeous arrangements for the mantel that we married in front of, as well as gorgeous and creative centerpieces that fit our holiday vision. Beyond her immense talent, Jolie is bright, caring, and bubbly—a true light throughout the process. Her work is not only breathtaking but also an incredible value for the care and dedication she puts into every detail. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would recommend Jolie wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a florist who’s as passionate and talented as she is kind.

I’m Vanessa, a Gaithersburg, MD-based couple + wedding photographer for the wildly in-love. My life was changed by love. Seriously, rocked, rumbled, wrecked, repeat. Okay, it might sound dramatic, but my relationship with my now-husband has truly changed my world and soul for the better. We were lil baby high school sweethearts turned long distance when my husband joined the Marine Corps, and our journey together means absolutely everything to me. I know yours does too, and getting to capture it is the hugest joy and honor.

I cannot recommend Vanessa enough! The photos from our wedding are absolutely stunning — truly everything I dreamed they would be and more. She was incredibly organized, communicative, and on top of every detail from start to finish. I’ve known her for a long time, and getting to work with her on something so special meant the world to me. Vanessa and her husband Patrick (the second shooter) captured every single shot perfectly — nothing was missed! As someone who usually shies away from being in front of the camera, she made me feel so comfortable, confident, and, most importantly- beautiful. She knew exactly how to pose me and my now-husband in our engagement and wedding photos. She is truly gifted. I am completely and utterly obsessed with her and her work. If you’re considering Vanessa for your wedding or any event, do yourself a favor and book her. Not choosing her would be a mistake!

Meet Katelyn, the visionary behind the lens, the master of capturing love stories; and a true artist with an impeccable eye for detail, an innate ability to freeze time, and the unique gift of encapsulating the raw emotions, intimate moments, and cherished memories that make weddings so extraordinary. From a young age, she discovered the power of storytelling through her mom's scrap books and National Geographic magazines, sparking an undying fascination with capturing the essence of life's most profound moments. She studies under renowned photographers, soaking up their wisdom and honing her own unique style; authentic photojournalism.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing Katelyn as our wedding photographer was undoubtedly one of the easiest and best decisions we made for our wedding day! We had the pleasure of seeing her work firsthand at a friend's wedding, with who knows how many cameras strapped on! Seeing her attention to detail firsthand and the beautiful quality of our friends photos, she was first on our list for a consultation. From our first call, Katelyn embraced our vision with enthusiasm and professionalism. We knew we wanted a documentary-style photographer with the option of film photos (we loved that Katelyn includes these already) who could capture the genuine emotions and candid moments of our wedding with our lively group, and Katelyn delivered! Despite our initial nervousness about being in front of the camera, Katelyn made us feel incredibly comfortable. Having an engagement shoot beforehand was a great practice run, she has an incredible talent for putting people at ease, and this truly shines through in the photos. We have never felt so photogenic! Our album turned out better than we could have dreamed up. It is truly reflective of us and our day. Complete with details of my treasured Kirkland sweatpants on the way to our venue contrasted with my dress glam Katelyn’s commitment to us was truly exceptional as she had a family loss shortly before our wedding. It would have been more than understandable for her to need more time away or to find us a replacement. Despite this, Katelyn remained fully committed to capturing our day and we are so so grateful. Her dedication and professionalism during such a difficult time speaks volumes about her passion for her work and for her clients. Katelyn is a true artist and an amazing person. Her work exceeded all our expectations, and we feel so fortunate to have had her as part of our wedding team. The only question we have is how early is too early for a vow renewal so we can hire her again!

We hired 24K Event Band for our long-postponed COVID wedding this March (2022). They were phenomenal in every way. From the very beginning, Jill, the band leader, made the experience very easy. She was incredibly responsive and helpful. She guided us through the process, asked all the right questions and helped us think of things we certainly hadn't thought of ourselves. The band learned two custom songs for us, one for our first dance and another for the mother/son dance. They CRUSHED the songs! Absolutely amazing. Overall the entire experiences was beyond my wildest dreams. Everyone at the wedding was amazed by the talent and energy of the band. We loved all of the vendors we worked with to make our night special, but 24K Event Band went above and beyond and really made the night come together. I would highly, highly recommend them. Great energy, great enthusiasm, amazing to work with, and incredible talent.

If you’ve had a good time at a wedding or event in the DC/Maryland/VA area, chances are it was DJ Casanova that got you moving. You know him as DJ Casanova, but around the office, we just call him Jamie. Back in the day, he was just a child of immigrants recording his favorite songs over his parent’s cassette tapes (sorry Mom and Dad) so he could listen to them on his prized Walkman. Jamie entered the DJ field in 2009, and before long he was spinning something at a different party every week. Pretty soon he realized that sharing his love of music with like-minded folks was more than just a hobby, it was a gift.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jamie Alberti, aka DJ Casanova, was the BEST DJ we could have possibly chosen for our wedding. He was incredibly helpful in the lead up to the big day and met with us in advance to discuss the details, the vibe we were going for, and the types of music we definitely wanted played on our big day! On the day itself, he had all the tech set up and ready to go for our ceremony, the cocktail hour, and the reception itself - all of which were spread out in different locations across our venue. He definitely got his steps in on our wedding day but he was certainly up to the task. He did a great job with the announcements for the evening and we're so happy that we went with him! Highly recommend!

He's incredibly responsive and thoughtful and helped us think through a vision for the evening. He had great recommendations for food and drink that felt personal to our taste as a couple. His ability to think big-picture AND attend to the smallest details made for an incredibly smooth planning process and sensational wedding day.

  • Serves Upper Marlboro, MD

Simply Fresh Events is a favorite caterer in Maryland, Virginia, and DC, offering creative catering for weddings, galas, corporate, and social events. Our innovative cuisine and meticulous service create memorable experiences.

We loved working with Simply Fresh for our Torpedo Factory wedding. Brittany and her team were great with communication. All of our guests loved our food. I loved that Simply Fresh was flexible with us using other vendors such as Andy's Pizza for Late Night food and ordering homemade Pop Tarts and our wedding cake from M B Bakery. The catering staff was extremely gracious to not just the married couple, but all of our guests. They immediately responded to feedback when I wasn't a fan of the first signature drink they gave me and made sure all of the following drinks were perfectly stirred. One of the main reasons why we chose Simply Fresh is that they have a Virginia liquor license and were able to guarantee that our bar would not run out of alcohol. I think one of the best things about working with Simply Fresh is when we went to Select Rentals to pick out our linens/china/decor, etc. for the wedding they were very mindful about our budget and gave us guidance on what were the best items to use to give us an elegant feel to our wedding without breaking the bank. Given that the food and dance floor (fueled largely by alcohol) were such highlights for our guests at our wedding, we have Simply Fresh to thank in playing a large part in our big day.

Amaka of Ariscreationz was truly a gem throughout our wedding planning process. She was always on hand and available just a phone call away. She helped to source our outfits, provided advice where needed and recommended other vendors to work with. She was sweet and professional throughout and managed my worries expertly.

Veronica was patient and so helpful throughout our wedding planning process. I am someone who had no idea what she wanted for her wedding. Veronica took me to many different types of venues and helped me envision multiple different types of wedding to help me narrow down exactly how I wanted our special day to look. We partnered with Veronica as our full service planner and she did full service, and then some. She handled issues I didn't even know about until well after there was already a solution or it had been solved already. She made the process seamless and we had a PERFECT wedding day. I can safely say without her expertise, we would not have been able to pull off the Washington, DC wedding of my dreams.

Hello, and Welcome! My personal philosophy is: ​ "When you commit yourself to do something, do it from the heart." Photographing you is not only a hobby, but a timeless commitment and passion to capture authenticity in the memories we are about to create.​I love seeing the beauty and emotions in people. I am not here to treat you as my client, but as a friend who I can make a connection with, and who is letting me capture those perfectly imperfect moments you wish to see. Let's chat more!

Amanda was the best choice for our wedding photographer. I was overwhelmed by the cost of other photographers and often felt like photos were too posed or stiff. We also had a lot of family dynamics to work with with several blended families. But Amanda's calm, kind, and patient personality immediately put us at ease. On the day of our wedding, Amanda blended seamlessly into the guests, capturing the most beautiful, fun, and editorial shots without us even realizing she was there. The value we received was incredible - the previews we've seen so far are beyond what we could have imagined, perfectly preserving all the special moments that made our day so unique and memorable. I would highly recommend working with Amanda and would hire her again in a heartbeat!

Nadine Nasby Photography

  • Photographer

  • Serves Upper Marlboro, MD

I am an editorial wedding photographer who is passionate about documenting authentic moments from your wedding as well as fine art classic portraits. Aside from memorable photographs, I believe every couple wants a wedding photographer to be a trusted partner and someone that can add value.

We had a fantastic experience working with Nadine for our newborn and family photo session. From our first meeting, she was warm, kind, and incredibly professional—she took the time to walk us through her portfolio and made us feel completely at ease. During the shoot, she had such a gentle and natural way with our baby, and it really shows in the photos. We were so impressed with the number and quality of images she delivered—and so quickly too! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful, heartfelt family photography.

The Red Bandana Bakery

The Red Bandana is a happy, healthy little bakery in Bethesda, MD. We like to make people happy with celebratory dessert food but we don’t want to feel guilty about what we’re feeding them so we try to make it as good for their body as it is for their soul. Owner/operator Jaimie Mertz went to culinary school in 2011 with the plan to become a pastry chef, and a year later doctors put her autistic brother Jack on a gluten-free casein-free diet to try to help with some behavioral issues.

The Red Bandana Bakery was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Jaimie and her team were friendly, helpful, and completely accommodating throughout the entire process. From the initial tasting, which was a really special way to kick off our wedding planning, to their open communication with our venue on our behalf, they went above and beyond to make our day perfect. The quality of their work was stellar - the cake was not only beautiful, but also incredibly delicious and affordable. We will definitely be back to the Red Bandana Bakery for any future events. We cannot recommend them highly enough!

Music by Anthem was a wonderful addition to our wedding day. Chelle, the violinist, was so warm and kind in our interactions leading up to the day, and assured us during the prep that she was a prompt person and that she'd arrive quite early to the venue before our event - sounds like a small thing, but her integrity and commitment really gave us such peace of mind when we were focusing on all the other details of our wedding day. Chelle's beautiful violin playing was perfect as a solo performer, and her services were very reasonably priced. Getting to pick her setlist was amazing, and she happily learned several songs she didn't know, including the one we walked down the aisle to. Chelle is so talented and clearly loves to share her craft with others. We are so grateful for her helping to make our special day truly memorable!

Charles was a delight to work with. We won’t give away the thoughtful things that Charles surprised us with during our engagement photo session because, well, then, you’ll expect them and lose out on those “oh wow” feelings. Suffice it to say, we are still delighted months later. He had vision for our engagement pictures and they came out so beautifully we had them framed and placed on every table at the reception. (We had one of our guests say I’m sorry not sorry but I stole the picture at my table and I’m putting it in my living room.) Later, we found that two other pictures were taken by other guests. The ultimate form of flattery and quality of the pictures!! The ceremony and reception pictures look great of course, but Charles did a fabulous job capturing the little details of our wedding that many people might not think of. We interviewed several photographers but ultimately went with Charles because of his vibe. Very chill, very open to what we wanted. We appreciated that he did a walkthrough of the venue in advance to understand the lighting and what challenges there might be with sight lines. He also sent us an "Important Details Checklist" to make sure nothing was missed on the wedding day. That checklist included a list of important people who we wanted to make sure were photographed. We found the pricing reasonable and the transaction seamless. A deposit in advance via credit card to hold the day and the balance due right before the wedding, all through a password protected web portal. The best part was that Charles was communicative before, during, and after the wedding. He had a preview gallery of our best pictures ready by the time we got back from our honeymoon. We recommend him without hesitation.
