We had our wedding in the ballroom. Very scenic and beautiful venue! Overall a pretty good venue that includes food, tables, chairs, linens, etc. The ballroom house itself is beautiful with lots of light indoors due to the large windows, and a nice deck for an outside ceremony. Zoe communicated with us and answered all our questions and did our tasting and planning, until a week before the actual day where we were assigned a day of coordinator. I found this system to be not great, since the day of coordinator was essentially a stranger that you've never talked to at all, and you basically have to re explain everything you want. Even though they have an online planning tool (which is old and outdated), I found that they got our aisle directions wrong, the reception layout wrong, and our dinner meals were wrong. Thankfully, we had a separate planner that was able to correct these things, so I recommend getting an outside coordinator that works directly with you if you have room in the budget. Another thing was our limited setup time of 1.5 hours meaning the florist and other vendors couldn't set up earlier with more elaborate decorations and had to do something simple. I found out that this is because they had another wedding at the same place before ours (literally ending at 4) and so they rush to get the place cleaned for the evening wedding. The main room and the suit was renovated, but the bathrooms were all still dingy and not the best/cleanest to use. The food was good though, better than we had at our tasting and they got it out fast. Our vendors were fed the same food, and our guests thought it was pretty good wedding food. Apart from the couple hiccups we had, we thought the venue was great overall and really beautiful and we don't regret having our wedding there at all. It could be a little bit better in the small details for the price though.

Joie Studios specializes in family photography but has been photographing weddings and elopements for the last 6 years and has limited availability for weddings. Whether you're hoping to have a traditional church-style ceremony or a magical elopement on the red rocks of Sedona, Arizona, I'm still here for you! My goal is to capture the raw, wonderfully-made details of the ceremony that screams YOU. Marriage is a beautiful commitment between a couple before God, and there's truly nothing more powerful than that love. These are the moments that inspire me, the moments God has given us.

My husband and I trusted Megan so much with our engagement photos and wedding day photos. We couldn’t be more pleased with how they turned out. We got the shots we wanted and the editing style that fit us. She made us feel comfortable and confident! Megan was punctual and made sure that we stayed on schedule getting the shots we wanted before our ceremony. She captured the important moments like the first kiss and key parts of our ceremony while also getting wonderful candid shots of friends and family at the reception!

Events are a part of everyone’s lives. Weddings in particular are an important event that many of us get to experience hosting just one time in our life. A wedding is also widely known as one of the most stressful days of your life – that’s where we come in. Between the two of us we have planned over 185 weddings from the day after engagement all the way to closing the car door as the couple leaves for their honeymoon.

Behind the most incredible day of our lives was the most amazing wedding planner, Megan, making it all happen. Since the day we booked her, she scheduled meetings, contacted vendors, provided advice and ideas, kept us organized, created our invitations, answered all of our questions, and much more. Then come wedding day, she brought our entire vision to life. She checked in on us throughout the day, meticulously placed every detail, brought us drinks during photos, and ultimately became an incredible friend through the entire process. I seriously cannot recommend Megan and Ludic events enough if you want the most incredible and stress free event that everyone will talk about for years to come.

  • Florist
  • Starts at $1,000

We are a women owned and operated flower studio specializing in weddings and special events in Baltimore, Annapolis and the Eastern Shore of Maryland. In 1977 Winnie Maher (my mom) opened the doors to Maher's Florist for the first time. Growing up in the business I created a great love for the art of floral design and have perfected my craft, along with employing other fabulous floral designers to create a premiere team. Shopping Local and caring for the environment are very important to us, so we source from local farms and use eco-friendly products whenever possible.

I was very pleased with Maher’s for my wedding florals. From the start, JoAnn was easy to talk to and listened to my needs and wants regarding my wedding florals. She put together different packages/quotes for us to review before deciding what we truly wanted and what was in budget for us. After receiving our quote, I put together my own visual of how the flowers would turn out, and was very pleased. Then, when I saw them in person, they were way better than I could have imagined! The colors were so vibrant and the mix was perfectly balanced. The variety of colors and sizing of flowers really made the bouquets pop! Also, I should mention that the boutonnières were magnetic!??!!? Very practical and stress free! All of our wedding guests were raving about the arrangements and are still talking about them post-wedding.

My journey into the wedding industry may be unconventional, but it has given me the skills and expertise to execute flawless events with ease. I started my career as a civil engineer, managing large-scale projects where problem-solving, attention to detail, and seamless coordination were essential. While I loved the technical side of it, what truly excited me was bringing a vision to life—orchestrating every moving piece to ensure a successful outcome. Now, I’ve combined my love for organization and creativity into wedding coordination and event planning, where I help couples turn their dream weddings into reality.

I live for documenting the connections between people—the genuine, unscripted, deeply human moments that tell a real story. I’m a wedding photographer with a fine art meets photojournalism style, which I began to cultivate while attending the Corcoran College of Art + Design in DC. I believe in “happily ever afters” because I found mine with my husband, Jared. We've been married for 20 years. I love photographing couples who (like me) have found their person—their best friend, partner, and soulmate. My mission is to capture love in its purest form and turn it into timeless art you’ll cherish forever.

It’s hard to put into words how amazingly talented Atalie is - from her impeccable ability to capture the most candid and happiest moments, to making sure everyone feels comfortable and beautiful in front of the camera, to bringing an upbeat yet calming vibe, to making you feel like you’re reliving your wedding day each time you look at your photos (which she gets back to you in record timing!). Thank you Atalie for giving my husband and I the most beautiful photos that we will treasure forever. We you!

He was even able to throw in the Eagles fight song for the groom! There were a few moments in the night that we let CJ decide the music for and he chose the perfect songs to fit the vibe. He was great at reading the dance floor and adjusting to the crowd, and he had some fun mixes of well known songs to switch things up.

Awarded Best of Zola
Over a year after our wedding, we still often look at the AMAZING photos Bethany captured for us on our wedding day. Do not hire ANY other photographer in the metro Washington, DC area if you want crystal clear, flattering, well-composed, and gorgeous photos of your wedding. Bethany is a delight to work with. She is calm, patient and considerate. She and her second shooter captured every conceivable aspect of our wedding that made it special to us and our guests. Bethany did it all with a smile. It was a huge relief to find a photographer who exceeded our highest hopes for a partner in preserving images of our day. We could not recommend Bethany more highly—we look forward to calling on her again as soon as we can.
