Three weeks before my wedding, I had a terrible makeup trial with another artist and went into panic mode. I stumbled across Alina on Instagram, and she replied right away — so kind, calm, and reassuring. She and Sveta fit me in for a hair and makeup trial that same week and spent over four hours making sure everything was absolutely perfect. They talked through every little detail and genuinely cared about getting my vision just right. Both Alina and Sveta went above and beyond; rearranging their schedules to allow more time at my venue and staying in touch in the days leading up to the wedding to fine-tune the final look. On the wedding day, they made me feel beautiful, calm, and completely myself. My mom also got her hair and makeup done for the first time ever and was absolutely glowing, she still can’t stop talking about how special they made her feel. I’m beyond grateful we found Alina and Sveta — they pour their hearts into their work. Their talent, professionalism, and heart truly made my day unforgettable.

We worked with Francisco as our day-of wedding coordinator at the Josephine Butler Parks Center, and we cannot recommend him highly enough! From the moment we started working with him, he was incredibly thorough, organized, and clearly genuinely invested in making our wedding day as smooth and joyful as possible. In the months leading up to the wedding, Francisco helped walk us through the big checklist items for planning a wedding, ensuring we didn’t overlook a single detail while always being respectful of our choices and vision. His communication over email was always timely and clear, and our planning phone calls were always productive, efficient, and fun! One of the most valuable things he did was create a comprehensive vendor packet that centralized all final details—this was a game-changer! We didn’t have to worry about keeping track of updates or managing version control, as he seamlessly handled all communication and coordination with our vendors. His understanding of the venue layout, the timing with our photographer, and the logistics of transporting wedding items made the final decisions stress-free. We trusted him completely, and every detail turned out exactly as we’d hoped—or better! When it came time for the wedding weekend itself, Francisco expertly ran our rehearsal, navigating family dynamics with calm professionalism and making sure everyone felt comfortable and confident. On the wedding day, Francisco was a calm and reassuring presence, quietly in charge and gracefully keeping everything on track. As someone who’s very Type A and typically likes to stay on top of everything, I was amazed by how much I was able to relax and simply enjoy the day because I knew Francisco would be handling it all. Thanks to him, we could focus on celebrating with our loved ones, knowing everything was in the best hands. If you’re looking for someone who will bring warmth, expertise, and a true sense of calm to your wedding day, Francisco is your person. He made our wedding a dream come true, and we wouldn’t change a single thing. (Photos courtesy of Paperbird Photography!)

My intrigue continued to grow over the years and I went on to earn my BA in Studio Art , Photography, from the University of Virginia. After graduating I worked as a portrait photographer and decided to pursue and earn my MFA in Imaging Arts from the Rochester Institute of Technology.

We could not be happier with our decision to hire Nina for our wedding! We just received our full wedding gallery and WOW— Nina and her second photographer, Darcy, did such a wonderful job capturing our day. Nina has an excellent eye. Each photo is masterfully composed and the colors are rich. Our gallery had the perfect mix of candids and posed shots. Nina captured so many special moments we weren’t able to experience or see ourselves! We had so much fun going through the gallery and sending our guests the photos they were in. She truly captured the joyous feeling of the day and going through the photos feels like reliving it. Nina is also a great communicator. She is timely in her responses and clear about her process and what to expect. She also makes sure to ask questions about what you want as a couple. We felt calm and comfortable with her. You will be in excellent hands with Nina!! We’d hire her again in a heartbeat.

He was very clear and efficient with communication. He let us ask for what we wanted while also guiding us toward other fun creative ideas. On the day of our wedding, he and Paul were amazing to work with. Great vibes, controlled time well and captured the true essence of our wedding. Finally, the pictures were STUNNING. My wife and I haven't stopped looking at them. I would 100% recommend Cesario to anyone looking to capture their most treasured memories and hope that we get to work with him again in the future.

I was attending a formal wedding in DC & needed an updo. I googled online and through Senema Beauty I was put in touch w Aida. We worked out the details via text. She came to my hotel & did my hair in about 40 minutes! It was the same price as if I had travelled to a DC salon!!! Totally worth it!! Took away a lot of stress & 2 Uber rides! It looked absolutely AMAZING!! It stayed up for over 8 hours & never lost its shape or styling in the back. Even with the 98 degree DC heat, my tendril curls that framed my face stayed curled with the finishing spray that she used.

My daughter was married in September 2025, and since she lives in Australia while we are in the United States, planning her wedding initially felt impossible.

From the very beginning, Lissa worked closely with them staying in constant communication, and offering thoughtful guidance every step of the way.

At Sweet Greene Cupcakery we specialize in edible artistry to create unique and delicious desserts to make your event’s dessert table stand out. I was born into baking and while my love started as a way to satisfy my sweet tooth and cravings, it grew to a love of the artistry of baking, the experimentation of flavor profiles, and the desire to find new ways to design edible creations that were unique.

We loved working with Cheryl in selecting our cake and dessert bar for our wedding. She was responsive, helpful, and her desserts were the most delicious we tried in the DMV!

They made everything so easy, from our first call to the final gallery. On the wedding day, they were calm, kind, and always in the right place at the right time—like when they caught my dad wiping a tear before walking me down the aisle, or us laughing during our first dance when I almost tripped. The photos are full of real moments, not just poses, and every one brings back a feeling. I’ve looked at them a hundred times already, and they still make me smile.

Neal was a great DJ who was happy to do whatever he could to make our wedding go as smoothly as possible. His mobile setup was perfect for our ceremony location and he did a wonderful job with all of his announcements and making guests happy. (Photos by @sopho.tography)

Like many in the industry, I fell in love with planning weddings when I started planning my own in 2017. At the time, I was a corporate lawyer at a big firm in DC and it just hit me: I was totally in the wrong field! Since then, I have dedicated all of my free time to arranging my own events, helping my friends plan their own, and dreaming of the day that I could provide the same service for others.

Carmen is a Type-A bride's dream come true! I honestly can't recommend Carmen and her team enough for coordination and planning services. I knew from the start that I needed a coordinator who could keep up with my very specific vision and who was just as detail-oriented as myself. Carmen was exactly that and more! From day one, she put my mind completely at ease, anticipating every need and flawlessly executing every element of our wedding day. Her professionalism and calm confidence allowed me to relax and truly enjoy the entire day without stress or second-guessing. I knew I could rely on her and her team to handle absolutely everything and they delivered beyond my expectations. Every detail was perfect, every moment ran seamlessly, and my vision was brought to life exactly as I dreamed. If you want a planner who gets it, who cares as much as you do, and who will deliver perfection without missing a beat - BOOK EVERMORE OCCASIONS. Whether you're a Type-A bride like me or need someone to fully create the vision for you, Carmen is your girl. I couldn't have asked for a better experience or better people to share this magical time with! They went above and beyond and I'm so grateful for their hard work and dedication.
