Cheryl did an amazing job with our cake - it was absolutely delicious and looked incredible. We had an opportunity to taste a few of the cake flavors and went with vanilla, chocolate, and carrot cake for our 3-tiered wedding cake. A few weeks before the big day, she got in contact with us and went over our flavor choices and designs. While Cheryl had several signature designs for couples to choose from, we liked certain details from two designs and she combined it to make our wedding cake. The cake itself was moist and tender - our guests raved about it and even went back for seconds! It honestly was one of the best wedding cakes we've had. Thanks Cheryl!

Homayra is an incredible artist and I am so happy that I found her. I was immediately blown away by photos of her beautiful work when I was looking for a floral designer for my wedding in DC. I wanted to incorporate spring/summer colors into my wedding but I am not creative at all, so I was relying on Homayra to tie things together, and she absolutely nailed it! She created a vision board after we talked about what I was looking for, and I was amazed to see what she produced. She was flexible, very responsive, and accommodating when we made a few adjustments to the arrangements as the wedding day drew closer. Cut to the day of the wedding - my bridesmaids’ bouquets were set up in the bridal suite and they were stunning! The way that Homayra was able to incorporate the different colors and floral textures so seamlessly far surpassed what I could have ever imagined. The drapery and flowers on the ceremony and the reception centerpieces were exquisite. Everything came together so amazingly - our guests were raving about the gorgeous arrangements and decor. Thank you so much for making our day so beautiful, Homayra. You are truly talented, knowledgeable, and creative!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Kelly was absolutely one of the best decisions that we made for our wedding and we can’t recommend her highly enough. She spent so much time getting to know us before the wedding, and our photos very clearly reflect her attention to capturing what was important to us. We really wanted to see the joy and breadth of emotions of the day and wanted photos that reflected our wedding as vibrant and loving, and that shines through in every photo!! Kelly is also so personable and brings such a wonderful energy to all parts of the process which made us feel so comfortable and so happy to have her with us! In addition to creating a photography schedule that was invaluable and that we shaped the rest of the schedule around, she made sure to note people’s accessibility needs and to work with us closely on comfort for everyone as we had a lot of access needs. She answered every question we had happily and was just such a wonderful part of our day!! She also did our engagement photos at Great Falls and they turned out just so gorgeous. I had a lot of anxiety about how I would feel about the photos as a plus size bride and Kelly listened to my concerns and made me so comfortable and I’m so so thrilled with the photos and feel gorgeous in all of them, which I'm very grateful for!

I found Cloud & Rea here on Zola after initially deciding not to do professional hair and makeup and am so glad that I reached out to them. Claudia was very responsive throughout the process before the wedding and clearly communicated with me as far as pricing, scheduling, advice before the day of, and timelines for getting ready. I had a late morning wedding and needed to have services for 4 of us and she came through like a champ and was able to get us looking perfect for the rest of the day. 3 of us are in our 40’s and my stepmom is in her 60’s and Claudia was able to do 4 completely different looks on us, none of which looked caked on or heavy. I really appreciated that she was able to work with different skin types and facial features, making all of us feel beautiful. I did do two makeup trials due to being indecisive on what I wanted for my final look. I knew I didn’t want it too bridal with the focus on my eyes and by working through my vision with Claudia I ended up with an amazing final product the day of my wedding. The first trial also included a hair trial that I was happy with but due to a scheduling conflict we ended up having our hair done by Artistry by Kelsea.

Bianca is incredibly talented and just the best! She did the makeup for my May 2024 Indian fusion wedding (both for my wedding day and my Sangeet), and I could not have felt more beautiful. Something that was incredibly important to me when deciding on a MUA was finding an artist that is well experienced with a variety of skin tones. Bianca absolutely killed it while doing a variety of different looks. Leading up to my wedding, I went to Bianca for a few facials. The actual experience of the facial was so relaxing, and my skin was so hydrated and glowing leading up to my wedding. After my wedding, I also asked Bianca if she could do a makeup class for me. She had made me feel truly so beautiful (but still like myself). The class made makeup approachable for someone who has very limited makeup experience. She was SO thorough afterwards in all the materials she sent me with instructions and products listed to be able to recreate the looks we went over. I cannot recommend Bianca enough for all of her services!!

We can’t say enough good things about Andrea Green Events! We hired Andrea about 6 months before our small-ish April 2025 wedding, and at that point all we had was the venue and catering booked. She jumped right in, was super organized and professional, and really listened to our vision. She has an amazing professional network and helped us to secure vendors that were right for us, and made the whole process feel manageable and fun. And she saved us some money without sacrificing what was important to us! On the actual wedding day it rained, and though we hoped it would stop, we had to switch the ceremony indoors at the last minute. Andrea handled it like a total pro—coordinating with all the vendors and keeping our families calm and where they were supposed to be—so we didn’t have to stress about a thing. The day turned out absolutely beautiful, even better than we imagined, and we know that’s because of her. We ended up with a break in the rain immediately after the ceremony and guests were able to enjoy the beautiful weather and scenery overlooking the water during the reception. We couldnt stop raving about how beautiful it all was, and our guests had a wonderful time. We didnt even know about minor hiccups with guests and vendors until weeks later because she made sure it was all handled. We truly couldn’t have done it without Andrea. If you’re thinking about hiring her, don’t hesitate, you’ll be so glad you did!

When we started our search for photographers, we knew we wanted to work with someone we "clicked" with because that would translate to us being comfortable in front of the camera. I remember the first call with Demetric and just feeling such a sense of ease compared to other photographers we had spoken with, which continued into our first meeting in DC. His flexibility and advice through our planning process was so helpful too. 

 On our wedding day, Demetric made us and our guests feel so comfortable -- this is such a gift to any couple on a day that is fueled by all of the emotions. Demetric's thoughtfulness, guidance, and joy were so special to have as a part of this day. And while we got to experience someone with such a relaxed demeanor, we know his focus is always on the details of the compositions and capturing unique images in his beautiful style. Demetric's work is incredibly dynamic and his photos are so rich -- we are counting down the days to see more photos from our wedding day!

I love how exciting and creative wedding photography can be while also giving me the opportunity to create something that is so meaningful to others. I got started with photography back in Michigan as a kid with my mom's old Minolta SLR. It wasn't until years later at art school in Kansas City that I realized how fulfilling and exciting wedding photography could be. It has been my focus ever since.

I highly HIGHLY recommend Asa! He and his colleague photographed our December '24 wedding and they did an AMAZING job. Asa has such a calming presence and on such a chaotic and stressful day it was so, so needed. He was so wonderful to work with in the planning and helped us make a thoughtful plan to ensure we got all of the photos we wanted. We had a traditional Catholic mass and he and his colleague were able to easily follow all of the Church's rules while capturing the essential moments flawlessly. We got every photo we wanted during the mass which was incredibly impressive. We also got shots at sunset by the water and Asa perfectly captured our vision! These are some of our favorite photos. He also captured all of the energy and fun that we had and we walked away with multiple photos of every single one of our guests which was such a treat. Lastly - his pricing is so fair and really competitive to all the photographers we got quotes from. He was easily able to work with our budget and was flexible to our specific needs. Overall - I would HIGHLY highly recommend Asa!

  • Planner
  • Offers 4 services

A DMV/Panhandle of WV Full Service Wedding Planner. I am a hopeless romantic with a passion for organizing and planning—naturally leading me to become a wedding planner. I’ve worked in the events/wedding industry since 2016 and love the hustle of a wedding day! My goal is to bring your vision to life and make the planning process stress-free. Personally, my husband Kyle and I welcomed our first baby boy in August 2024 and are expecting a baby girl to arrive August of 2026. We also have three crazy Cocker Spaniels! We love to travel and try new restaurants.

Casey and her team were absolutely amazing! I was looking for a wedding planner and happened to meet Casey at the bridal expo in DC. After a quick consultation, I knew she was the one. We used her services for day of coordination, but she started a few months prior to my wedding. She helped with the timeline provided excellent feedback, was always available, extremely organized, and detail oriented. She absolutely went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful we had her as a planner.

Inspired by the timeless appeal of Taylor Swift's music, The Fearless Eras is THE DMV's Taylor experience that takes your event seriously with outstanding vocals and musicianship.

Do not hesitate to ask any questions.

I gladly recommend The Fearless Eras Band to any client seeking a high‑energy, crowd‑pleasing performance. From the moment we booked them for a Taylor-themed party in October, their professionalism was evident—clear and proactive communication and a genuine commitment to understanding the event’s needs. They arrived early, handled setup seamlessly, and were completely reliable throughout the evening. Their performance itself was a standout highlight. The band brought an infectious energy that had swifties singing, dancing, and fully immersed in the experience. Guests repeatedly commented on how fun and engaging the show was, and the atmosphere they created elevated the entire event. The band delivered exceptional professionalism, punctuality, and reliability—paired with an unforgettable level of entertainment. I look forward to working with them again.

The makeup lasted flawlessly all day and night, I received so many compliments, and in every picture, my skin looked glowing and natural.
