“We booked a private wine tour with Vineyard Voyages and had an absolutely fantastic experience. From start to finish, everything was easy, well organized, and genuinely relaxing. It was so nice being able to enjoy the wineries without anyone in our group having to worry about driving, directions, or keeping the day on schedule. The transportation was comfortable, the itinerary was thoughtfully planned, and the entire experience felt personal rather than like a cookie-cutter tour. We were able to relax, enjoy the scenery, spend time together, and experience some great Virginia wineries without feeling rushed. What really stood out was the attention to detail and how smoothly the entire day went. Vineyard Voyages took care of the logistics while still giving our group the freedom to enjoy the day at our own pace. I would absolutely recommend Vineyard Voyages for a private wine tour, especially for a birthday, celebration, or just a great day out with friends. We will definitely use them again. — Ken”

“I cannot recommend Isabella Vabre Beauty enough. I’m someone who is very outdoorsy and almost never does hair or makeup, so I walked into this experience knowing basically nothing — and Isabella made me feel completely comfortable from the very start. She is incredibly responsive, professional, and so kind. She has a calming presence that immediately puts you at ease, and she listens closely to what you want (even if you’re not sure how to describe it!). On my wedding day, she made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself — still me, just elevated in all the right ways. I would 100% work with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a makeup artist who is both technically skilled and genuinely wonderful to be around. If you’re considering booking — do it. You’ll be glad you did.”

“I may be biased, as the bakery owner is my best friend and maid of honour, but I am not exaggerating when I say I have never received more compliments on anything as I received on my wedding desserts! The mini cheesecakes, cookies, and wedding cake were absolutely cleaned out! The only thing we got to bring home for ourselves was our personal wedding cake. Amanda is so accommodating--we had my mother in law bring in some traditional Indian desserts and Amanda was happy to add them to her display and even provided a beautiful serving dish for them! The wedding cake was so beautiful and DELICIOUS! My husband hyped it up so much to our guests that I started to worry it might not meet their expectations, but I was SO wrong. I would recommend Amanda for any event you may have coming up in your life. She is professional and reliable, and will work with you to make your dessert dreams come true down to the last detail!”

“We worked with Francisco as our day-of wedding coordinator at the Josephine Butler Parks Center, and we cannot recommend him highly enough! From the moment we started working with him, he was incredibly thorough, organized, and clearly genuinely invested in making our wedding day as smooth and joyful as possible. In the months leading up to the wedding, Francisco helped walk us through the big checklist items for planning a wedding, ensuring we didn’t overlook a single detail while always being respectful of our choices and vision. His communication over email was always timely and clear, and our planning phone calls were always productive, efficient, and fun! One of the most valuable things he did was create a comprehensive vendor packet that centralized all final details—this was a game-changer! We didn’t have to worry about keeping track of updates or managing version control, as he seamlessly handled all communication and coordination with our vendors. His understanding of the venue layout, the timing with our photographer, and the logistics of transporting wedding items made the final decisions stress-free. We trusted him completely, and every detail turned out exactly as we’d hoped—or better! When it came time for the wedding weekend itself, Francisco expertly ran our rehearsal, navigating family dynamics with calm professionalism and making sure everyone felt comfortable and confident. On the wedding day, Francisco was a calm and reassuring presence, quietly in charge and gracefully keeping everything on track. As someone who’s very Type A and typically likes to stay on top of everything, I was amazed by how much I was able to relax and simply enjoy the day because I knew Francisco would be handling it all. Thanks to him, we could focus on celebrating with our loved ones, knowing everything was in the best hands. If you’re looking for someone who will bring warmth, expertise, and a true sense of calm to your wedding day, Francisco is your person. He made our wedding a dream come true, and we wouldn’t change a single thing. (Photos courtesy of Paperbird Photography!)”

I especially liked that she met with me and told me the details of the couple, the layout of the location and where the best vantage points were to ensure that I captured the key moments during the ceremony. She also walked me around the area with the couple so that we could all get to know each other and form a good connection.

Hi! I'm Nina and I run Ivy & Quartz photography! I shot my first wedding in 2013, but my journey with photography began long before that. When I was about 10 years old, my dad gave me a camera and I quickly became obsessed. My intrigue continued to grow over the years and I went on to earn my BA in Studio Art , Photography, from the University of Virginia. After graduating I worked as a portrait photographer and decided to pursue and earn my MFA in Imaging Arts from the Rochester Institute of Technology.

“We could not be happier with our decision to hire Nina for our wedding! We just received our full wedding gallery and WOW— Nina and her second photographer, Darcy, did such a wonderful job capturing our day. Nina has an excellent eye. Each photo is masterfully composed and the colors are rich. Our gallery had the perfect mix of candids and posed shots. Nina captured so many special moments we weren’t able to experience or see ourselves! We had so much fun going through the gallery and sending our guests the photos they were in. She truly captured the joyous feeling of the day and going through the photos feels like reliving it. Nina is also a great communicator. She is timely in her responses and clear about her process and what to expect. She also makes sure to ask questions about what you want as a couple. We felt calm and comfortable with her. You will be in excellent hands with Nina!! We’d hire her again in a heartbeat.”

“I absolutely loved working with Wendy and her team. They were incredible, kind, and made the morning of my wedding a breeze. My makeup and hair was stunning, and all of my bridesmaids and the moms were thrilled with how they looked on wedding day. I still can’t get over how beautiful I felt on the wedding and my hair and makeup held up great. Communication throughout the whole process was super easy, they were super responsive and accommodating.”

“DJ Neal was absolutely amazing at our July wedding in Purcellville, VA! From start to finish, his communication was excellent—clear, responsive, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process. Our venue had the ceremony site, cocktail hour, and reception all in three separate areas, and DJ Neal was more than accommodating with his setup. Everything transitioned seamlessly and without any stress for us. He truly went above and beyond with the lighting setup as well. It completely transformed the space and looked incredible—it added so much to the overall atmosphere of the reception and the pricing was very inexpensive. Compared to other DJs we considered, his package options were incredibly well-priced for the level of service and quality he delivered. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ experience and would highly recommend DJ Neal to anyone looking for a professional, talented, and reliable DJ for their event!”

Peña & Co. grew from a love of weddings and bringing order to so many moving pieces and parts. I was part of a wedding that didn't have everything planned out, and I saw how that affected the Bride & Groom and knew then that the details help create unity and peace. My aim is for you to have joy and peace in your day and to truly enjoy each second. I have been coordinating and planning for over 5 years, served over 50 couples, and was trained in the south in both Greenville and Charleston, SC. I have loved mixing Southern comfort with DC splendor since I moved to DC in 2023. I can't wait to celebrate you every step of the way!
