My name is McKenzie. I was born in Georgia, but have lived in the Hampton Roads region of Virginia for most of my life. I grew up loving weddings and being taught to celebrate love! I simply evolved into planning…making lists of everything needed for my own wedding and the weddings of friends. I had the privilege of working at a wedding venue where I learned from professionals regarding the details that are involved in coming alongside people to plan their special day! It was through this time that my passion for weddings had the chance to flourish! And that is why I decided to launch my own business planning weddings!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the pleasure of having Evan as our wedding officiant, and we couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful, warm, and genuine person to lead our ceremony. From the very beginning, he put great effort into getting to know us as a couple and as a family, ensuring that the ceremony truly reflected who we are. He crafted an incredibly touching and meaningful ceremony that deeply resonated with both us and our guests. One of the most special moments was the family sand ritual he proposed — a beautiful way to include not just me and my husband, but also our two boys. It made the ceremony even more personal and memorable. We are so grateful for his kindness, creativity, and the care he put into every detail. If you are looking for a personalized, heartfelt, and unforgettable wedding ceremony, we wholeheartedly recommend Evan.

  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 12
  • Starts at $100
  • Serves Hayes, VA

Darling and Dapper Studio isn’t just a salon; it’s a haven for confidence. Founded by Elizabeth Darling, whose own journey of self-discovery led her to create a space where beauty is cultivated from within, rather than just painted on. Here, amidst the plants and warm, cozy ambiance, a team of experts don’t just style brides for their wedding day; they empower all individuals to radiate confidence that extends far beyond the salon. With each brushstroke and hairstyling flourish, they build a canvas of inner beauty, reminding every guest that their worth shines brightest from within.

Awarded Best of Zola
As the bride, I wanted to capture the fleeting, unforgettable moments of our big day (while looking my absolute best) as I’ve been told it goes by in the blink of an eye! I was fortunate enough to receive a recommendation for an incredibly talented hair and makeup studio from a family member who used Darling and Dapper for her wedding in October of 2024. After reading the different artist descriptions on the Darling and Dapper website, I knew Taylor Shira and Carolina Updegraff were going to be a perfect fit for what I was looking for on the day of the wedding! Taylor and Carolina exceeded my every expectation! What struck me most about Taylor was her ability to help create a calm, inviting atmosphere on the day of the wedding. She is such a sweet, energetic person with such a positive personality to boot. What struck me most about Carolina was her ability to recreate the exact makeup look from any inspiration picture you show her. She is such a sweet, warm person and she and Taylor are the exact kind of people you want to spend time with on what is typically a very overwhelming day! Their attention to detail and artistic eyes brought out the true beauty in myself and all my bridesmaids. I truly have never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day thanks to Taylor and Carolina. Taylor and Carolina are not only a master with any hair or makeup style you throw at them, but they are also true professionals. We chose to get ready in the bridal suite of our hotel and they both arrived on time, maintained a friendly and approachable demeanor, and made us feel truly at ease throughout the whole day! Their level of communication is impeccable as they were always willing to take feedback (without taking it to heart) and truly listen to what you were hoping to achieve with your look, so we knew we were in good hands the day of the wedding. With our wedding being an outdoor wedding, on July 12th, in Virginia, I was slightly nervous that my makeup was going to be ruined before we even made it to cocktail hour, but Carolina worked tirelessly to support my dream of having my desired look (and boy did she succeed)! Taylor worked tirelessly (up until I left the building to walk down the aisle) to support my dream of having cascading curls down my back and cascade (and last) they did! My six bridesmaids all chose different hair and makeup inspirations and were all extremely pleased with their work. Working with Taylor and Carolina has been an absolute pleasure from my bridal hair trial session to the end of the wedding day. Their exceptional talent, professionalism, and dedication to their craft makes them a stand out choice in the world of bridal hair and makeup! I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking extraordinary hair and makeup and an unforgettable wedding day! - Mrs. Canavos

If you don't know what DJ to book for your wedding, please look no further! DJ Karizma was the first vendor I booked after the venue because I really valued the experience of the music, reception, and someone that is an amazing MC at getting the guests pumped, hooked and controlling a room for your timeline of events. I can say our guests and other vendors at the venue said this was the one of BEST wedding receptions they've been too because of DJ Karizma. We were literally dancing and screaming the whole time and I never left the dancefloor once reception started. (Still recovering to get my voice back). If you have a type of vibe that you are going for for your wedding, he will listen with all ears and do just that. If I could give 11/10 stars would!! This was the most unforgettable night of laughing, crying, dancing, so thank you so much DJ Karizma for your expertise and talent!!

Will your Hair and Makeup look like you? timeless, polished, and stunning on camera? Will your morning feel calm, or chaotic? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ You deserve an artist who listens and *really* hears you. Every look is built around your features, your style, your vision, so you walk in feeling luminous, confident, and yourself. And your morning? Calm, on time, and completely taken care of, that is exactly what Cedrian is known for. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Cedrian was AMAZING to work with! I loved the whole process with her. From the trial to giving me my little goodie bag for touch ups she was an absolute gem to work with. One of the biggest things that I think is needed for brides (especially us Type A's) is communication and listening. We need someone who is pleasant to work with but knows that ultimately the job needs to get done. THAT was a big thing for me when it came to Cedrian that I LOVED. During the trial, I gave inspo pics and then we built on that. And I'm telling you that when I wanted a little more shadow or a little more contour, she did it ONE time and it was exactly what I wanted. Another thing that I loved about her is that she loves what she does! You can tell in her work, the way she has told stories of past brides..it just exudes from her! For me, that is someone I wanted on my team for the wedding day. Your wedding day is supposed to be filled with love and happiness and fun! Get Cedrian as your artist! I'm telling you. Throughout my process of picking vendors, I am a research queen. I check the reviews, and I read all the reviews. Cedrian is EVERYTHING her brides have said. I am SO happy to have found her. Thank you for everything Cedrian!

Hello!! I am Camille! I am passionate about preserving every moment from your special day - particularly those intimate moments of togetherness amid the crazy! ❤️ I am an introvert and more on the quiet side, but I can wrangle a crowd if I need to. 😉 If you like goofy comedies, folk and pop music, and loving people how Jesus does, we'll get along just perfectly! I accept everyone and take nothing too seriously! I prefer to capture everyone in sweet and candid looking moments rather than being traditionally posed but I do a bit of both! I would love to get to know you and your future spouse - just send me a message any time!

From the very beginning, Camille was fast to respond, accommodating to our needs, and always maintained a positive and excited energy. Her communication style was just what we were looking for - she made the whole process feel seamless and stress-free. The quality of her work is truly flawless, with a beautiful, candid, and dreamy aesthetic that captured all the little moments we wanted to remember. Camille made sure I got everything I wanted and more out of my photos. The photo I cherish most to this day isn’t even of my husband and I. My grandfather recently passed away and the photo I cherish most is of him and my littlest sister, dancing together alone on the dance floor. It is a photo I hold dear to me and will cherish always. Camille is an incredibly talented and accommodating photographer, and we are so grateful to have had her be a part of our special day. We have already decided she is the only photographer we want to work with going forward to capture all of the special moments in our lives.

Awarded Best of Zola
I recently celebrated my wedding this past weekend, and while Meagan wasn’t originally my wedding coordinator, she ended up being one of the biggest blessings of the day. She was assisting another vendor but stepped in to help with my wedding—and I am so incredibly grateful that she did. Before the ceremony, Meagan introduced herself and immediately reassured me that everything would be perfect. She promised to support my fiancé and me in any way she could—and she truly followed through. On the wedding day, Meagan brought the calm, guidance, and reassurance that I desperately needed. She was always just one step away—making sure I stayed hydrated, adjusting my dress, ensuring I looked presentable, and even handing me a box of tissues when emotions took over. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. Despite only learning about our situation a week before the wedding, she became our biggest advocate. If I could go back, I would have hired her as my full-time wedding planner without hesitation. Her attention to detail, calm demeanor, and ability to handle every detail without ever stressing or alarming me made all the difference. Because of Meagan, our wedding day was seamless and stress-free. Meagan, thank you again for dedicating your weekend to support my fiancé and me. Your hard work and kindness did not go unnoticed, and we are forever grateful.

Hi there, I'm Jessica! One of my favorite things about being a wedding florist is getting to create living art. This kind of art is never stagnant, never monotonous. The medium represents growth, connection and love- a perfect symbol to surround my beautiful couples on their wedding day.

Working with Jessica was a treat. She was an incredible listener and translated our inspiration into reality spectacularly. Her arrangements were dynamic, structural, cohesive and so intentionally crafted. We shared some specific elements/colors we wanted and she was able to run with our ideas and turn them into a full floral design vision board. Jessica had candles and votives, and sourced these gorgeous ribbons for the bouquets. She thoughtfully incorporated all our requests and was happy to adjust throughout the planning process.

The team at The Gala 417 was a dream to work with for our wedding. Their communication was quick, helpful and efficient from the moment we booked with them. On the day of, the coordinators were truly exceptional - I barely had to lift a finger as they took care of every detail, from the stunning, glamorous decor to helping pin the flowers on the groomsmen. The food was absolutely delicious, and the ice cream bar was the perfect sweet touch to end the night. The Gala 417 provided incredible value and ensured our wedding day was nothing short of perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better venue and highly recommend them to any couple planning their special day.

From the absolute first moment I contacted Alaina, she was so attentive and responsive to me and that followed through all the way to the wedding day and even after! During the makeup trial she was incredible and knew the exact look i was going for since she had a questionnaire and wanted to know exactly what the bride wanted! She absolutely loves what she does and you can tell with how much time and effort she puts in to her work, to make sure you have the exact vision you are going for. She made me and my bridal party look and feel the most beautiful we have ever been. I would recommend her a million times again for any bride or anyone looking for a makeup artist, I promise you will not be disappointed. Alaina you are a natural at what you do!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for everything you did to make me feel and look my absolute best!!
