Rating: 5.0 (31 reviews)
Richmond, VA
  • Bar services & beverages

Led by owner Maegan Parrish, this traveling bar and bartending business brings custom experiences to weddings across Virginia and surrounding areas. With personalized menus and signature drinks, you can enjoy a cocktail hour and reception that is literally made for you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing to work with French Honey Hospitality was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Not only was Maegan passionate, talented, and professional, but she was easy to communicate with, hard-working, and kind. From the first phone call to “last call”, Maegan listened to what we wanted and made our vision come to life. During the planning process, Maegan was knowledgeable, helpful, and fun. She helped us pick our two signature cocktails, designed our personal menu, and gave us a detailed shopping list. On our wedding day, Maegan and Stewart showed up early to set-up the bar – and they went above and beyond by lending a helping hand to any vendor who needed it. During our cocktail hour and reception, the duo kept our drinks full and the bar lines short. We still have guests talking about how delicious our signature cocktails were, how friendly Maegan and Stewart were, and how much fun they had at our wedding. Lastly, we absolutely loved that French Honey Hospitality used “Green Bar Equipment” and compostable drinkware. Overall, my husband and I cannot recommend French Honey Hospitality enough! Don’t wait, book now!

Providing you with an epic dance party is my main goal, but as your wedding DJ, I'm focused on making sure your entire wedding runs smoothly. I hope we get the chance to celebrate soon!

Awarded Best of Zola
DJ Anthony Bryant (aka DJ Ant-Boogie) was absolutely amazing and such an important part of our wedding experience. When planning a wedding, there are a million things to worry about. DJ Ant Boogie is not one of them. He was so nice and so patient and professional with us during the planning, and an absolute joy to work with during the actual wedding. We had such little direction for him and gave the most vague descriptions of our friends and ourselves and the general vibe and he crafted the most perfect wedding playlist I have ever heard. All night people were complimenting us on our amazing song choices (all DJ ant boogie) and the dance floor was alive literally all night. He also did such a wonderful job with all of our special requests and announcements and all the “scripted wedding stuff” that happens during a wedding. Everyone had such an amazing time and he was such an integral part of that. DJ Ant Boogie, thank you so much for such a wonderful experience. We had a perfect night, and we are so grateful.

Let’s just talk about it. You spend months (sometimes years) planning your wedding - the colors, the outfits, the chargers, every little detail. But the place people gather, meet, and spend the most time? The bar. And somehow that’s the part people overlook. A great bartender sets the tone for the whole night. At Cheers, we actually care. We take time to get to know you, show up ready to celebrate with your people, and make sure the bar adds to the energy of the night - not takes away from it. Your wedding deserves that. Love y’all.

We used Cheers Mobile Bartending LLC for our pre-wedding event on November 7th and were elated with our experience. From our first communication, Katie was personable and extremely flexible with bringing our event together. Working with her team was an easy process as was purchasing for the event. She also helped take the stress out of planning this event and injected fun into it with the range of personalized cocktails available for the event. We selected an apple cider margarita that was a perfect choice for early November and a huge hit with our guests. Overall, we would easily recommend Cheers Mobile Bartending!

I met Liz at a family wedding we attended in March 2023 and absolutely loved how their photos turned out! So when it was time to start planning my Jan 2024 wedding, I knew I wanted to reach out to her first. As so many brides know, one thing can lead to another and things change! I decided to cancel the January plans and opted for a more intimate, destination wedding in Lake Tahoe and Liz didn’t even hesitate to still be my photographer, even after I moved up the wedding to just a couple months out. She showed up, ready to make our photo dreams come true! I couldn’t have been more lucky to have her capture our wedding day in the most special location….still daydream about the day. :) Liz is so supportive and talented! She’s simply the best.

Joseph and Rob of Riverwood Designs are the best in the business. I booked Riverwood Designs for my May 2024 wedding, at The Maine of Williamsburg, for bridal party flowers and floral table arrangements, as well as a Day-Of Coordination package. Booking Joseph and Rob was one of the best decisions I made during my 2-year long wedding planning process. Joseph was a life-savior during the planning process, keeping me calm and confident that my day would be nothing but perfect. And it was exactly that. On the day of my wedding, Joseph and Rob arrived promptly and delivered the most BEAUTIFUL flowers. I am so glad that I chose to go with real flowers, as opposed to wood or silk flowers. The arrangements looked and smelled amazing. The proposal that we had worked on prior to the day of in no way did the actual flowers justice. They were even more amazing than I could have ever imagined. For the florals, we chose to include the orange flowers in only the bridal bouquet. Also including this same orange flower on only the groom’s boutonnière. This was the perfect way for me and my groom to feel special and different from the rest of our bridal party. Book Riverwood Designs NOW! For all your floral and planning/coordinating needs. I am so thankful that I did and I cannot recommend them enough.

I've had the privilege of working alongside Armando a couple times under both my company and others, and it is a great experience every single time! He is fun, easy to talk to, upbeat, not to mention quite skilled at his craft too. I am almost always behind the camera and not in front of it, but I can tell that his personality and presence makes couples comfortable in front of the lens whether they're used to it or not, which is so incredibly valuable, your footage will always come out looking better if you are comfortable. Added bonus - he is tall, so he'll get those high angles that not everybody can manage to get, haha! I highly recommend him, no question

Stephanie was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. On our wedding day, she was calm, friendly, and on top of it. She and her second photographer struck the perfect balance of being professional and efficient while also feeling like casual friends, which made the entire experience feel natural and fun. My husband and I felt totally comfortable with her guidance and direction during photos, and she made the whole process so easy, even with unpredictable weather and changing light. She adapted quickly and found the perfect locations around our venue to make sure we got the best possible shots. We were so excited to receive sneak peeks shortly after the wedding, and the photos were absolutely stunning. The quality was flawless and just captured the beauty of our day.

I’m Jasmine, A Richmond, Virginia based makeup artist dedicated to enhancing the natural beauty of those I’ve had the pleasure of working with, and those I’ve yet to meet. What began as a love for makeup through creativity and self-expression has grown into a meaningful career centered around connection and helping others feel like the best versions of themselves.

I had the pleasure of having Jasmine do my bridal makeup and the makeup for my bridal party. Immediately from our consultation and trial at Melt, Jasmine was welcoming and calm, yet also driven and confident in her skills. She took the time to know what exactly I was and was not looking for. She took note of things I was particular about (filling in my eyebrows) and ensured they were exactly how I wanted before moving on. She even fielded my never ending questions about skin care since she is so knowledgeable! On my wedding day, Jasmine was promptly on time and a calm presence that helped keep me at ease. Jasmine was happy to make any changes throughout the makeup application process with no issue (I was difficult and changed my lip color 3 times). My entire bridal party still continues to rave about Jasmine’s work and claim it was the best professional makeup they’ve had. We all felt like enhanced versions of ourselves—it was exactly what we were looking for. The small kit of to-go and touch up items that Jasmine provided each of us ensured our makeup looked perfect the entire night. I would highly recommend Jasmine for any and all bridal/formal makeup services! Melt is lucky to have her.

We couldn't have asked for a better partner for this special part of our big day and would most definitely recommend Pearl's Bake Shoppe to any couple looking to make their wedding dessert dreams come true!

A photographer is easily one of the most important vendors of a wedding day. Without the memories and the photos, it’s hard to just remember every little thing. Our photos and all the details are so beautiful and so lovingly captured. Erinne and her second shooter did an amazing job capturing everything and corralling my large family for portraits, as well as our wild bunch during dance time. I will forever treasure the images she captured and want to print them all if that tells you anything! It’s amazing how they captured so many moments during such a busy and quick day. She is such a sweet and kind human and does amazing work too. Thank you Erinne!

I honestly don’t even know where to start because words don’t feel like enough! From day one, you made the planning process feel so much less overwhelming. Your communication was incredible and you were always responsive, even when I had random late night thoughts or questions.You truly listened and made me feel heard every step of the way.What I appreciated most was how you took my scattered Pinterest boards and turned them into something real. The mock-ups helped bring the vision to life, and the final results were better than I could imagine. Every detail felt intentional, and the day flowed so smoothly I was actually able to be present. Thank you for going above and beyond. You’re so talented at what you do, but even more than that, you genuinely care. I can’t recommend you enough!

Hey there, I’m Jami Pollnow Heath. I’m a wedding planner living and working in Richmond, Virginia. I'm a Maryland native living Richmond Virginia with my husband in our first home; a big beautiful project in Fulton Hill. In my journey down the aisle I found more than just my future partner, I found what I was meant to do; helping people like you say "I do" too!

Our wedding simply would not have happened without Jami Pollnow. She is a rare mix of sunshine, calm confidence, and get-it-done energy. From guiding us within budget to pairing us with incredible vendors, she delivered a five-star wedding with ease. On the big day, she ran the show flawlessly — even wrangling drunk friends and brothers with grace and humor. Do yourself a favor and hire her.
