Specializing in providing a luxury experience from your initial inquiry to wedding day. We will ensure you not only look and feel your best, we create memories with you that will last a lifetime by prioritizing a seamless and stress-free experience.

Dani is the best Glam squad that anyone could ever hire for your wedding!! I live in Texas and my wedding was in Richmond, VA so unfortunately I was unable to do a hair trial. She listened to everything and continued to reassure me that everything would be perfect. Not only did she completely nail the bridal vision that I was going for, but she went above and beyond the entire day. She stayed after we were done with hair to make sure my hair stayed in place, and she captured so many wonderful photos and memories from first look, to photos with my bridesmaids that I was able to look at the day after the wedding and reminisce. The bridesmaids/ mother of the brides hair also looked amazing, and everyone was so happy with it. You can tell she is very passionate about her job and making brides happy. I would recommend Dani with Posh by la glam over and over again to any bride!

I recently reached out to Ms. Deanna Reid to take photos of some inventory I designed and created. I was very impressed with the professionalism I received! Ms. Reid went above and beyond my wildest expectations! She arrived early, staged my inventory (Gowns, Veils, and Overlays) and wrapped up the session in a short amount of time. I was over the moon with the pictures I received! The photos came out so clear and crisp! It was a pleasure working with her! I look forward to working with Ms. Reid in the near future! I highly recommend Ms. Reid for your Photo needs!

Ask any of my past couples... I will definitely be on the dance floor at your reception! I pride myself on helping my clients feel comfortable in front of my lens.

I can't say enough great things about Anna! She took photos for our wedding welcome party, and they are gorgeous - she got the lighting perfect (and it was challenging in a dark room!), got every shot I even imagined, and turned around sneak peeks truly the SAME evening! I was so pleased with the entire process from start to finish and would recommend Anna to anyone looking for a photographer!

Designs By Oochay Floral & Event Design 

5.0

  • Florist
  • Serves Washington, DC

Designs by Oochay provides floral and event decor services for all of life's celebrations. We service events in the Washington, DC area, and beyond. Our services include floral arrangements, rentals, event design, draping, event production, and more. With a strong focus on creating memorable client experiences while thinking outside the box to create one of a kind events, puts us as one of the top leading floral and decor company's in the Washington, DC area. Featured in national publications such as Martha Stewart Weddings, Washingtonian Weddings, Munaluchi Bride, B Collective Magazine, and more.

It's hard to do anything but rave aboutUche and her team - Uche is incredibly creative, a consumate professional, and moreover just an all around awesome human being to work with. From the beginning, she was super responsive and took the time to help me figure out the look for my wedding (I wasn't starting from much - just knew I wanted a "secret garden" type feel). In our first conversation alone I knew she had a vision, and told her to go with it. The execution was so far above and beyond our expectations that words can't describe it. I loved and really appreciated the thoughtful proposal Uche put together (and changed several times at my annoying requests), but I really couldn't have imagined how beautiful everything would be the day of. We got married at District Winery, and Uche and her team took FULL advantage of the blank canvas-esque space, complete with hanging greenery installations and the most beautiful altar piece I've ever seen. My bouquet was also gorgeous - as were my bridesmaids', and the boutonnieres were amazing. I honestly had friends coming up to me telling me they loved the florals even more than what they had at their own weddings! Not only was the end result day-of perfect, but I know that Uche and her team worked tirelessly to get it done. When we had our rehearsal at the venue the afternoon before, they were there getting a head start (what other wedding vendor would do that!?) I could go on forever about how incredible Uche is (like the fact that she hosted my mom and I at her studio for over an hour to patiently talk through details, even as she was prepping for a big wedding the next day), but the bottom line is that if you want top notch creativity and professionalism all in one, you can't go wrong with Designs by Oochay. One final thing - a friend/guest of ours happened to be a former client of Uche's, and Uche made a specific point to find her at the end of the evening to say hello and give her a hug (which my friend was super excited about), even though it was after midnight and she was trying to disassemble everything - which I thought truly showed how warm and gracious she is, as well as how much her former clients love her!

Brigitte Renee Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Serves Washington, DC

I've really come to value the unexpected, intimate moments that take place on a wedding day. The hug your mom gives you before you leave your dressing room. The tear that falls down his cheek when he sees you walking down the aisle. The way the two of you lean your heads together during the toasts. This day is about more than the flowers and the shoes you chose. It's about celebrating the start of a new family. It's an honor to play a part in such a significant day and I hope you'll choose me to be a part of yours!

Brigitte is THE ABSOLUTE BEST. Her keen eye and sense of detail, added with her bubbly personality and ability to make you feel like her best friend legitimately is the perfect recipe for the best photographer. She is talented, down-to-earth, and full of so many amazing ideas and qualities that you NEED in your photographer. If you hire her, you will definitely not be disappointed.

We hosted our wedding reception at Rocklands Farm and I was so happy with the experience! The barn has a rustic elegant ambiance and the surrounding farm and winery is picturesque. Their “corn crib” was ideal for appetizers and a fire pit while guests arrived before being seated, and a bonfire made a great outdoor space for a November wedding. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect. They worked seamlessly with the caterer Simply Fresh and our cake maker. Their day-of coordinator was great, keeping the timeline on schedule effortlessly. This was something I was very stressed about so having it go so smoothly was huge for me. Our photographer Jonalee Earles was able to set up lights etc. ahead of time. One unique aspect was the variety of table decor and signage provided, which I was able to look through and select ahead of time and which fit the ambiance beautifully. It looked amazing and took the pressure off us to bring our own decor. Rocklands made our wedding day truly special. I highly recommend it to any couple looking for a stress-free, gorgeous venue with great staff!

One of only two remaining examples of Neoclassical Greek Revival architecture in Alexandria, its exterior features an impressive portico supported by soaring Doric columns. Oversized windows bring natural light to the main gallery rooms, which boast 24-foot ceilings, wonderful woodwork, and exposed granite walls lined with rotating art exhibits. Your ceremony can be held in the sweet, private courtyard. This quaint, romantic space has a “secret garden” feel, sheltered from the street by high, vine-covered red brick walls. Please note wheelchair access is available only on the main floor. A/V equipment is available but limited. The Athenaeum is available for viewing during gallery hours or by appointment. Gallery hours are Thursday-Sunday from 12:00pm-4:00pm. The Athenaeum is closed on holidays. Advance notice for viewing the Athenaeum is appreciated.

Venue considerations

  • No on-premises lodging options
  • Requires outside catering services
  • Does not have a dance floor
We recently had our wedding at the Athenaeum in Old Town Alexandria, and it was a truly special occasion! The venue was just the right size for the wedding we wanted and the style made us think of the place we got engaged, on the Acropolis in Athens. The venue has a lovely indoor gallery space as well as a courtyard and we hat our ceremony outdoors and the reception indoors. A few things you should keep in mind if you are considering the Athenaeum: the space is on the small side, which we liked, but may not suffice for some weddings; you have to choose one of their recommended caterers or pay an added fee (though we were very happy with the caterers we went with and they knew exactly how the venue worked!); the venue does not include anything beyond the actual space, all vendors and services need to be hired separately. For us, this all worked out well and we felt our guests had a great time! The venue also makes for a beautiful backdrop for photos, just make sure to reserve the parking spaces in front of it. Our only minor issue was that the rental manager was not super responsive, but his coworker was, so it wasn't a problem in the end, I just didn't know who to reach out to at first. All in all, we are so happy we got to have our wedding at the Athenaeum! The art on display on the day was cheerful and modern and everything went according to plan. So excited to see more picture and relive the special day!
