The photographer, videographer, and photo booth was absolutely perfect and our guests had a blast! However, even after going through the work of submitting a Spotify play list and adding do not play songs or DJ played the wrong version of our first dance song (I checked and we had the correct version listed on our playlist we sent over), he also played songs from our do not play list to the point I, the bride, came over to ask if he had the wrong list. He admitted he was using songs from the do not play list as he was not paying attention. I would also like to note, though our wedding was more casual, our DJ was dressed in a sloppy manner. His shirt was half untucked from his pants, there were stains on his shirt and pants. Besides a few hiccups, direct Entertainment was wonderful to work with!

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. If you have the chance to book them, don’t hesitate!

Jeremy was phenomenal as our wedding DJ! I've known him since middle school, but I promise this review isn't biased - he truly is the best of the best! From the beginning, he made everything incredibly easy. His online contract was straightforward, I was able to sign everything and pay just by using my phone. Also, the Google form he provided to understand our music preferences and timeline was super streamlined and simple to complete. On the day of the wedding, Jeremy worked seamlessly with our wedding coordinator, which meant I didn't have to field questions and could just enjoy the day. His announcements kept the night flowing perfectly, but he kept them brief so the focus stayed on the music and dancing which was exactly what we wanted! We definitely gave him a challenge: a big Mexican family wanting Latin music mixed with emo and hip hop-loving millennials. Jeremy handled it like a pro, effortlessly blending songs together and keeping everyone on their feet dancing all night long. The dance floor was packed from start to finish! Honestly, I wish the night could've lasted forever. If you want a DJ who can read the room, seamlessly mix different genres, and keep your guests dancing all night, Jeremy is your guy. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

The Coordinated Collective 
Rating: 5.0 (38 reviews)
  • Planner
  • Offers 2 services
  • Starts at $2,300
  • Serves Franconia, VA

Working out of Arlington, VA, the Coordinated Collective provides day-of coordination for couples who have otherwise organized their own wedding. Aiding couples in the District of Columbia, Eastern Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia, the women of this company have a wealth of knowledge and experience organizing weddings in all sorts of venues and design. Owned by Ja’el Mendez, this team of experts brings the final touch needed to make sure you get hitched without a glitch! The initial planning is done by the clients, meaning that couples choose their own vendors and have the freedom to design their own wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring The Coordinated Collective was by far the best decision we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. Every single person we interacted with was incredible, starting with Ja’el the owner, who was amazing from start to finish. She is warm, organized, thoughtful, and we felt see was genuinely invested in us. From our first conversation, we knew we were in great hands. Our day-of coordinators, Liz and Blair, were absolute stars. They just got us. Throughout the planning process, they provided steady guidance, answered every question, and—when we had concerns about potential issues with other vendors—gave us thoughtful, grounded advice and real encouragement. As we approached the wedding, Liz and Blair stepped in to manage the scheduling of the countless moving parts of our wedding day. They helped address issues before they became problems, and resolved most problems before they became crises. Their communication and stress management were unparalleled. They kept us informed whenever we needed to know something and shielded us from anything we didn’t need to be bothered with. I referred back to Blair’s meticulously documented recap emails from our planning meetings so many times during planning - no idea how anything would have gotten done without those! We always felt like they were firmly on our team. Their presence throughout those final weeks kept us calm and confident… despite the best attempts of some of our vendors and family! And then the wedding day itself… flawless. Truly flawless. They executed the day with precision, grace, and warmth. They handled countless details behind the scenes so seamlessly that we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our big day. At one point during dinner, I (the bride) leaned over to my mom to ask if she had floss because I had food stuck in my teeth, and before I could finish my sentence, Liz promptly whisked me away to a back room where I found myself suddenly in front of a mirror with a toothpick in hand! The level of support and preparation during the pre-wedding stages was above and beyond what we ever expected. Our families and friends are still raving about how fantastic they were on the day-of. We also decided to add on content creation with Teri late in the process, and we are SO glad we did. She was amazing—funny, kind, unobtrusive, and everywhere at once without ever feeling like a camera was in our faces. A couple of days after the wedding, we received our raw video dump, and it is worth every single penny. I’ve spent hours reliving the day through all the behind-the-scenes moments she captured with our guests, family, and wedding party. She didn’t miss a thing. We can’t wait to see the short-form content she creates, but honestly, the raw footage alone already exceeded our hopes. We are genuinely obsessed with this team. The Coordinated Collective is thoughtful, professional, communicative, creative, and deeply committed to making your wedding experience exceptional from beginning to end. If you’re considering hiring them, don’t hesitate for a second. They were truly the best decision we made, and we are endlessly grateful.

The makeup and hair artist from Best Face Forward were amazing to work with!   They were great from the first phone call when I spoke to Kara and she put my mind at ease.  They are great at communicating, reply in a timely manner, and have a detailed timeline.  The forms that we had to fill out were super helpful in making it a smooth process.  My originaI hair and makeup artist got sick the day of my engagement photos and Kara was able to easily step in because of the forms.  I decided to switch my eye shadow color after my make up trial and Priscilla was helpful in figuring out new colors.  She was also helpful with figuring out which hair extensions and pearl bobby pins to buy.  Everyone in bridal party had different levels of comfort with hair and make-up, and everyone said how great Priscilla and Stephanie were!  We were even ready before the timeline called for!  I would definitely use them for my next event and highly recommend them!

Hi! I'm Nina and I run Ivy & Quartz photography! I shot my first wedding in 2013, but my journey with photography began long before that. When I was about 10 years old, my dad gave me a camera and I quickly became obsessed. 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.

Nina came highly recommended from a friend and she didn't disappoint! She was flexible in terms of a weather delay and made us feel very comfortable. Since we're doing a wedding outside of the DMV, I asked specifically for a timeless/classic DC and she knocked it out of the park!

We had our wedding at DW on September 1, and it was truly flawless. DW is such a well oiled machine and the night went incredibly smooth. It was such a pleasure to work with Latoria, Chloe, and Tori throughout the planning process. We had about 150 people with a band and it was the perfect fit. The room was STUNNING and the team was super accommodating with last minute changes and a huge wrench thrown our way on the big day. No one even flinched and they adapted beautifully. SO sad it's over and I wish we could do it again!!

DJ Neal was absolutely amazing at our July wedding in Purcellville, VA! From start to finish, his communication was excellent—clear, responsive, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process. Our venue had the ceremony site, cocktail hour, and reception all in three separate areas, and DJ Neal was more than accommodating with his setup. Everything transitioned seamlessly and without any stress for us. He truly went above and beyond with the lighting setup as well. It completely transformed the space and looked incredible—it added so much to the overall atmosphere of the reception and the pricing was very inexpensive. Compared to other DJs we considered, his package options were incredibly well-priced for the level of service and quality he delivered.

With a knack for authentic storytelling, she works to capture a combination of artful, composed imagery and joyful candids that exude the energy and preserve the emotions of your event. She believes deeply that both the aesthetics of your day (which are sure to be stunning) and the spirit of your celebration deserve equal attention and documentation.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Annemarie was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding. I was incredibly picky when choosing a photographer and talked to over twenty photographers before deciding on Annemarie. Her calmness, attention to detail, photography style, and clarity in communication made her the perfect photographer for any couple. When I look back on our wedding photos, I feel as if I am reliving the day over and over again because she did such an amazing job capturing the raw, unfiltered, real moments of the day. My husband does not love poised photographs and not only did Annemarie get him to do it, she was also able to beautifully capture the little moments in between. Annemarie was respectful, kind to our guests, and ensured every photograph I wanted was captured (and even was able to photoshop a photo or two that I forgot in the craziness!). She went above and beyond for our day, staying longer than originally intended and hiring an extra second. I loved working with her and truly could not recommend Annemarie more highly and will be using her services for all future events!

I reached out to Aida because I had a photoshoot coming up and wanted my makeup done. She was able to accommodate the day and location. She was running a little late but made sure to communicate that with me and was able to get me done by the time I needed. I love the look! I told her I wanted more of a bold look and she did exactly that! Can't wait to book her again for future shoots!!!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We’re so glad we hired Sweet Greene for our July wedding! We loved the flavor options (we went with lemon raspberry and pineapple coconut) and the quality certainly held up from the tasting to the finished product. Cheryl was super helpful in guiding and executing our design, and even did several phone consultations with us to confirm logistics and talk through the design process. Our cake was beautiful and delicious! And very reasonably priced for the area, especially with the excellent customer service and delivery and set up included. Definitely recommend!

Working with Villa Li Photography for our wedding photos made the day amazing! Wedding photos are something that we knew we only had one chance to get right, and thanks to Villa, we have a beautiful recap of our day. From the moment we engaged with Villa we knew we had the right sense of style and organization that would capture the moment. Villa has an incredible sense of style and ability to focus on the subject and the background for the perfect composition. She has an arsenal of equipment that can be used for any setting to help adjust the light and filters to make everyone look their best! During our festivities, we had multiple venues that we needed to capture and some of those spaces were in residential homes. Villa was able to adapt to each situation and executed the photos to perfection! We love looking at what she captured in the homes that was part of our day. Not only that, but Villa also adapted to outdoor settings and then back inside for the reception venue. We covered all angles with her! Throughout the day she was calming and worked the venues to get the best photos. One of the wonderful things was her ability to get the candid shots of our guests which helped us show what a great day everyone had! Villa has a great way to share the photos and edits after the festivities. She is prompt and communicative even after the excitement has subsided. We were overjoyed with the final outcome! Whether you are getting married or need any photography assistance, make sure you speak with Villa to discuss your requirements and how she can deliver them as perfectly as she did for us! Thank you, Villa!

Shining Time Florals and Rina were absolutely incredible to work with! From start to finish, Rina brought our vision to life in the most beautiful way, even better than we ever thought was possible. Every arrangement was beyond stunning—she truly has an amazing eye for detail and design. She took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and elevated it even more than we could have imagined. The florals added such a romantic, elegant touch to our wedding and completely transformed the space. Not only is her work breathtaking, but Rina herself is so kind, professional, and easy to work with. You can tell she genuinely cares about her couples and their big day.

Our videographer Artem was kind and comprehensive - captured all of the sweetest moments we didn’t even realize were happening. The editing team worked quickly and produced a beautiful product. We have watched our videos many times already and still getting the feels. What a perfect commemoration of our wedding day and we love having the videos to look back on this magical day.
