Brittany and Dee from Society 11:11 Hair & Makeup were absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding day. From our first communication, they were friendly, warm, and very responsive, taking the time to understand exactly what we were looking for. On the day of, they were incredibly patient and adaptable as I had made major changes (cut all of my hair off and changed the style). My hair and makeup looked natural, and they worked collaboratively with me to bring my vision to life. My partner was glowing!

Awarded Best of Zola
French Honey Hospitality was absolutely amazing for our wedding. We had some hiccups in the planning process regarding bartending services and deciding what we wanted to do for this. We worked with Maegan, she came in and answered any and all questions we had and quickly sold us on her bartending services with how kind and caring she was about our special day. We spoke with Maegan multiple times regarding specialty cocktails to fit our theme and she absolutely nailed every signature drink based off the creative names we gave her. Her imagination for cocktails was astounding and you can tell she really cares about the drinks she prepares and is willing to push the envelope for your special drinks. On wedding day, Maegan was very friendly towards everyone and was very professional. She showed up early enough to have everything prepped and ready to go by cocktail hour. She also has her own bar that looks stunning and really adds to the vibes to the cocktail hour bar. We felt that Maegan and her husband took care of our guests and ensured that they had a great time. They made a beautiful menu to display all the drinks being provided which helps the guests know what to drink! I remember one of my favorite moments of the night after I had multiple drinks, Maegan hand delivered some liquid IV and water bottles to me which was very much appreciated. If you are looking for bartending services, I cannot recommend French Honey Hospitality enough. Maegan was always very responsive and receptive to our vision. They have a variety of extra services that can elevate your wedding to the next level. Maegan was an absolute pleasure to work with and we loved every aspect of the bartending services provided for us on our special day. You would be putting your trust in the right people with French Honey Hospitality.

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!

We had an incredible experience working with Hali as our day-of coordinator for our wedding at the John Marshall Ballroom. With only about 50 days to plan a wedding for 240 guests—filled with many traditional elements—Hali was an absolute lifesaver. She helped us stay organized, took so much off our plate, and allowed us to focus on other aspects of our big day, knowing that she had everything under control. Hali was always on top of things, proactive, and incredibly sweet. She truly went out of her way to make sure everything ran smoothly, and her warm and professional personality made the entire process enjoyable.

Her communication style is calm, efficient, and kind, putting us at ease throughout the entire wedding planning process. The quality of her work and the value she provided was truly outstanding - she was thoughtful, organized, and incredibly creative in helping us curate the perfect wedding weekend to kickstart this next chapter of our lives.

I cannot imagine planning any other event without her, I mean who else is going to keep my makeup intact?!

He is fun, easy to talk to, upbeat, not to mention quite skilled at his craft too.

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

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.

Taking photos since 2016, I lives to document the stories of every lovely human I get to meet. My ideal clients are laugh-loving, sun-chasing, care-freers (bonus points if you're a foodie too). I love the Washington D.C. and Richmond area, but I'll go wherever your story begins.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot even begin to write a review that expresses how obsessed I am with the photos and service we received from Chayil McGlotten, she truly knocked it out of the park. Chayil’s positive energy and friendly personality brings exactly the tone you need for your day. You could not find a better photographer if you’re looking for true to color, gorgeous photos, showcasing the love and story of the day, all while she also acts as the best hype woman you could ask for. I cannot recommend her and her team at Black Pepper Photography enough. We did our engagement photos at our venue, which ended up being on a fairly dreary day, but Chayil’s amazing skills still managed to highlight the beauty of the location and our excitement. She is incredibly easy to work with, quickly making us comfortable (especially my husband who is not a huge fan of taking pictures) by alternating smoothly between suggesting poses and taking candid photos if we were naturally in a good position. It was so hard to pick just a few photos for our Save the Dates when we received so many, despite having booked just a 30 minute session. On the wedding day, Chayil arrived with amazing energy, helping ease my nerves about the timeline and making sure I got every photo I wanted and then some! She also brought the videographer, who made the most stunning wedding video highlighting our special day. We have received our sneak peaks, and every photo is better than the last, they are all so flattering and gorgeous. Black Pepper Photography documented our day better than I could have ever dared to dream - thank you!!!

We were thrilled with the service and quality from Pearl's Bake Shoppe for our wedding desserts. Their communication was quick and professional throughout the planning process. The quality of their work was simply stunning - the champagne sheet cake, strawberry and black and white cupcakes were all absolutely delicious and our lemon blueberry cutting cake was divine. We couldn't choose between the amazing flavors, as everything we tried at Pearl's was to die for. Even the vegan and gluten-free options were incredible. Pearl's Bake Shoppe went above and beyond to make our special day even sweeter. I highly recommend Pearl’s for any event!

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!

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.
