Carla Pressley - Hair Stylist & Makeup Artist

  • Beauty professional

I’m Carla Pressley and I do hair and makeup! I’m a mixed African American/Korean chick born the year of the DOG in July which makes me a fiercely loyal sentimental Cancer. I also talk to most dogs and have been the proud mother to two Jindo dogs. I laugh EXACTLY like my two brothers, TRY eating vegan most of the time, LOVE yoga, and tear up EVERY time dads see’s the bride for the first time.

Literally the kindest, most generous hair & makeup stylist I’ve ever met. She’s truly a gem and I couldn’t recommend someone more. She’s made my day special, she did touch ups and made me feel beautiful all day.

Pull Up Bar

  • Starts at $1,050
  • Serves Washington Grove, MD

Pull-Up Bar is a fully equipped craft cocktail bar ready to be transported to any location. It’s custom design includes a 32in LED display, underlit bar top, and sanitation station as well as over 50 years of experience across 12 employees; providing the atmosphere and professionalism of a real bar at your event

We were initially on the fence about hiring a mobile bar, but Pull Up Bar completely blew us away. They didn’t just serve drinks—they created an experience. The setup looked like something out of a styled magazine shoot and fit our modern industrial venue like it was built for it. What stood out most was how personal everything felt. They took the time to learn about us as a couple and recommended craft beers and cocktails that reflected our personalities. Our bartender remembered names and favorite drinks by mid-reception. Even my dad, who never drinks, asked for a second old fashioned! They were punctual, professional, and so much fun to work with. If you want a wedding bar that feels elevated but easygoing, this is it.

Photography register moments for generations to come. It documents lives. It brings you back to the past. It reminds you of how you were feeling at the time those images were taken.

The immense joy and pleasure of knowing that I - as everyone else - have a story to tell!

Awarded Best of Zola
When I was looking for a photographer for my wedding, I didn't know what to expect. I thought I would still have to worry about poses, logistics and everything else on the day of my event. I found Tai 4 months prior to our wedding day and we've had two consultations during this time and she made me feel so secure that I could leave everything photo related in her hands! On the day of, she guided us through the best places and poses, made sure we got photos with everyone and helped us get our big family together for the most beautiful shots. I don't plan on getting married again but we know Tai and her team have become our family photographer now :)

We got mini pies and treats from Pie Gourmet for our wedding reception and the pie bar set-up using their pies were such a hit! Dorah, the owner, was so accommodating to all our needs and dietary restrictions. We ordered a few nut-free and dairy-free free options and I heard they did offer gluten free pies as well. Her team went above and beyond and even answered all our questions past store hours which was quite heartwarming because it showed how much they cared. We'll definitely be ordering again for our next event!

However, having Father David by our side transformed our special day into something extraordinary. His joyful spirit and insightful guidance provided exactly what we needed to make our wedding unforgettable. We are thrilled to say that our wedding was absolutely splendid.

My style is distinct, a result of both my unrelenting commitment to my craft and complete trust from clients who commission me. You’re not going to read about any awards, badges, or “top 10 lists” because what matters is you’re in love with the work that you see and are ready to trust me entirely to do what I do. This trust drives me to find the perfect balance between creative experimentation and honest documentation.

All I knew was that I was marrying my fiancé and that Sam was going to be our photographer. I didn’t care about anything else except that he was our photographer. The engagement session was so much fun! The day of the wedding was unbelievable. He’s so calm and professional. He answered all of my questions throughout the process quickly without getting frustrated. Lastly, his work is is just AMAZING! Highly recommend if you love bright colorful unique photos.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kelton from Marquee Artists was amazing! He was a communicative and active participant in the planning of the music and the announcements at my wedding on March 9. Kelton provided an extensive list of potential songs to play in a shared Google Document with columns for “play” and “do not play” which was great. Also, I was impressed that he attended the walk through of the Whittemore House a month prior to the wedding, asking pertinent questions of the Whittemore staff about the placement of various things and how best to provide the sound amplification that would be needed. He provided wireless mics which worked really well for the toasts. Kelton did a great job as the master of ceremony and his mix of the selected music was fun and fabulous. He had the crowd dancing, rocking to the music. Many of the older folks told me that they hadn’t danced in years but were having lots of fun doing so then. Having him on our wedding team instilled so much confidence in me, my daughter and new son-in-law, who is an amateur DJ. They were so taken by Kelton that, if possible, they would like to attend future events at which Kelton is the DJ!! I HIGHLY recommend him.

We knew The Tower Club Tysons would be our wedding venue the minute we stepped off the elevator! The vibe, the ambiance, the views, the food, and the team were just everything we wanted for an intimate, elegant wedding! From the get-go, our consultant Lindsay and her team made us feel welcome and heard and no matter what we asked for or wanted, they were super flexible and accommodating to our needs. For instance, we're Persian and for Persian weddings we have a traditional table layout called a sofreh. When we told Lindsay about it, she again was very accommodating and showed us the perfect setting for our sofreh. Additionally, our original wedding plans for a destination wedding ended up not working out and we had to switch to plan B and have our wedding locally, so we only had around 4 months until our wedding date (they also had availability for the exact date we requested in October) when we first visited the Tower Club and only about 3 months of solid planning after we signed our contract. Lindsay assured us that we would have plenty of time to plan and get everything together and that put our minds at ease right away. She was with us and guided us every step of the way and I can truly say that everything went as planned and was as stress-free as possible. Our wedding day/night was everything we imagined it would be and more -- the night couldn't have gone more wonderfully and smoothly, and a lot of the credit will have to go to the Tower Club's wonderful staff and team. Our guests all had a wonderful time and raved about the Tower Club's gorgeous space and views and the delicious food and drinks! Speaking of the view, you're on the 17th floor with lots of balconies and a beautiful, bird's eye view of the whole city. The sunset on our wedding day was DIVINE and something that not only our guests enjoyed during cocktail hour (we saw a bunch of them taking photos on the balcony during cocktail hour), but also something our photographer and videographer took advantage of for our photos. Lastly, the staff were helpful, accommodating, and all smiles until the very end of the night, which was something we truly appreciated. All in all, 10/10 we would recommend The Tower Club Tysons as the perfect, dreamy venue for the elegant wedding of your dreams!

Bellwether Events 

5.0

  • Planner
  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Washington Grove, MD

As owner and lead wedding planner, Janice has her hands on every Bellwether wedding. She’s a logistical virtuoso with crazy-high standards. She’s never met a detail she couldn’t wrangle or a problem she couldn’t solve. You can always expect Janice to keep it real — a communication style you’ll be thankful for when dealing with budgets, wedding day mania, and drunk Uncle Ted.

My husband and I found Janice through her blog and were drawn to her transparency about an industry that can often feel opaque and hard to navigate. We met with two other potential planners, but we decided to follow our initial instinct and put our trust in Janice. She did not disappoint! Janice kept the entire planning process incredibly organized and did an amazing job of finding vendors that aligned with our (sometimes very specific) vision. Anytime we started to feel overwhelmed, Janice was ready with a detailed timeline, polite-but-firm reminder emails, and a very encouraging attitude. Janice was also very receptive and enthusiastic about helping us incorporate important cultural elements into our day that she had not had experience previously (ex. A Japanese kagami biraki ceremony). Most importantly, Janice was extremely reliable. For example, my bridesmaids and I were supposed to get our hair and make-up done at a hotel the morning of the wedding, but after we woke up to a power outage and alerted Janice, she immediately jumped into action arranging a new location and updating the beauty and photo teams about the change. She then raced over to the hotel to help me and my MOHs pack up my wedding dress, shoes, accessories, and bridesmaids gifts and convinced the concierge to let us use the emergency freight elevator so that we wouldn’t have to run down 15 flights of stairs. Her husband drove us all to the alternate location and, miraculously, all of the hair, make-up, group photos, and dressing were completed with a whopping 15 minutes to spare! Despite the early morning switch-up, the rest of the day went off without a hitch and we knew the wedding couldn’t have gone as smoothly as it did if it weren’t for Janice’s work (both in the planning and the day-of coordination). We are so glad to have hired Janice and 100% recommend Bellwether Events.

She fit in so well and knew how to handle the crowd. She worked well with the kids, made sure to get plenty of photos, and even caught some I didn't know she did.

Chief Planner, Vanessa Young founded Little Black Book in Washington, D.C. to provide clients with exclusive access to vendors and services starting with event planning that exceeds expectations.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about working with Vanessa. She is a wedding godsend. She is so organized, patient, creative, and thoughtful. She has seen everything and knows how to respond to everything. I strongly recommend hiring Vanessa and Little Black Book. We did event day management (which is really more like month management), and we LOVED working with Vanessa. She kept us completely on track with our planning. She helped execute our vision. And on top of it all, she's so nice! One of my bridesmaids had food poisoning on the day of the wedding, and Vanessa arranged for medicine and got her through the day. That was just one example of Vanessa's repeated excellence. Hire her!
