I honestly can't say enough amazing things about The Antrim 1844 Hotel! We had the most incredible wedding experience here, and I'm so grateful we found this gem. We actually heard about Antrim from a coworker whose family had their wedding there last spring. It wasn't even on our radar before that, but now I can't imagine our wedding taking place anywhere else! During our planning process, we got to see so many different weddings they were hosting, and I was blown away by their unique ability to make everything from small intimate gatherings to expansive celebrations not just work, but work beautifully! They really know how to adapt to each couple's vision. Working with Jill was such a joy! She made the entire planning process feel effortless and actually fun. She was so flexible with all our changes and took the time to walk us through backup plans for weather, which gave us such peace of mind knowing we were covered no matter what. We got lucky with lovely weather and got married in their rose garden, and oh my goodness - it was so breathtakingly gorgeous that we barely needed to add any decorations! The natural beauty spoke for itself and created the most romantic, dreamy backdrop for our vows. Having so many family members and friends traveling to join us, the wedding weekend stay option was a game-changer! The complimentary breakfast for overnight guests was such a thoughtful touch - it meant everyone could wake up together and start each day without any stress about finding food. It really made the whole wedding weekend feel like one big family celebration. The bridal suite in the main mansion was absolutely perfect for getting ready! There was space for our entire wedding party plus my mom and friends to get ready together, and it provided the most beautiful backdrop for photos. We got so many stunning getting-ready shots in that gorgeous space! The food was absolutely delicious - both during our tasting and on the big day! Our guests are still raving about it. The team worked so seamlessly with all our other vendors too, making sure everyone felt welcomed and taken care of. We were thrilled about the veterans discount, which let us add some extra special touches like a dessert bar, upgraded appetizers, and shade canopies for the ceremony. They made it so easy to customize everything within our budget. Every single guest has told us what an amazing time they had, and we're already excited to come back for anniversaries! We've heard their holiday decorations are absolutely spectacular, so we're definitely planning a winter visit. If you're looking for a venue that combines stunning natural beauty, incredible service, amazing food, and a team that genuinely cares about making your day perfect, The Antrim 1844 Hotel is IT. We couldn't have asked for a more magical place to start our life together!

Hi, I’m Haley (most people call me Hayy), founder and Creative Director of Haley Cassera Collective. I believe the best photographs aren’t perfectly posed—they’re the ones that make you feel something years later. My approach is a blend of documentary storytelling and natural guidance, creating space for genuine moments while making you feel completely at ease in front of the camera. I’m there to preserve it genuinely and authentically. My goal is for you to be fully present while I document the moments you’ll never want to forget.

Haley is phenomenal! Like she literally has felt like part of the family since day 1! She's professional, fun, energetic and literally the sweetest person I've ever met- not to mention hilarious! Oh did I mention... The photos! Just WOW! She made me say "Is that even me?!" I can't explain how comfortable she made all of us feel in front of the camera! She's done so much from our engagement, family photos and even bridal shower coverage, plus so much more! She's literally great in any setting. I would hire her for every event for the rest of my life!- like I actually am going to, no question. Don't sleep on booking this lady, trust me you won't regret it!

Finding the right videographer and photographer is a priority next to catering in my opinion! If you fail on getting the right one, you can’t take your wedding day back! Fine art blew us away with their professionalism and truly remarkable eye for art and emotion in their work. You will not regret getting them as the quality you pay for will reflect and will be worth it! Thank you, Fine Art! We look forward to doing more with you as occasion arises

I've had a camera in my hand since I was at least ten years old. Photography has always been something I've been passionate about. I was the friend that captured all the memories in high school. Once I got older, and more interested in this becoming something real, I decided to start my business in 2018. I've had the pleasure of working with the most loving clients ever since.

What to say. Kay is an unbelievable human. Not only is she passionate and dedicated to her craft, she is also so knowledgeable about weddings! Kay offers extremely fair pricing for film/documentary style photos compared to what you will find on the market. The fact our engagement session was included in our pricing… WHAT?! I am in disbelief because there are few and far between photographers offering that these days. Kays work is unbelievable as well, she has a GIFT! For our engagement session we even got champagne and special glasses! The day of our wedding she was amazing! She worked with us to squeeze things in when our timing was off. She also got my sister (who is on the spectrum) to look at the camera AND SMILE (my sister never does this)! Our photos were the main investment we wanted and boy did she deliver! If you are wanting that look other photographers are charging 7-10k for but at a better price point… THIS IS YOUR GIRL!!! I will let the rest of the photos on my review speak for themself!

Mike DJ'd my wedding in May 2023, and he is THE BEST. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Mike was very responsive, easy and fun to plan with, and great with communication leading up to the wedding. On the day of the wedding, we didn't need to touch base with him because we were confident he had everything covered. We had some interesting song requests, specific timing for certain songs, etc., and Mike handled everything perfectly. He was the perfect MC to help facilitate the grand march, speeches, dances, and dinner, and he kept the party going all night! We highly, highly recommend Mike!

Aside from my love for all-things-events-and-weddings, I am a cat mom, dog mom (to the best dog ever, truly), goofy type-A (yes, we exist). I love everything coffee, purple, and vintage; I almost never go somewhere without red lipstick. And you’ll probably see me somewhere in downtown Frederick at least twice a week. The SBD team has a team of Leads and Assistants of all backgrounds but we all share a love for logistics and supporting couples on their special day!

Sarah and Sarah were amazing to work with! From day 1 we felt very comfortable with Owner, Sarah Rosier. She is very easy to talk to and super knowledgeable. She never makes you feel rushed and answers all of your questions. On the day of our wedding we worked with both Sarah Rosier and Sarah Rose. Both Sarah's were so helpful and ensured our big day went smooth. We were able to have so much fun and enjoy the moment because we knew Sarah and Sarah were taking care of everything. I highly recommend using SBD&E - especially if you are getting married at Union Mills Public House in Frederick, MD. SBD&E does a ton of events there, so they know the space like the back of their hand. It made everything so seamless and I could not imagine getting married without SBD&E! In the photo below, what you don't see is Sarah Rosier standing across from up giving us step by step instructions on the best way to cut the cake (it is harder than it looks lol!)... talk about attention to detail and making sure even the small details of the cake cutting were covered! Choose SBD&E as your wedding coordinator, you won't regret it!

If you are searching for a magical place to celebrate your wedding, look no further than Zigbone. My son and daughter-in-law were married there recently, and it was perfect from start to finish. From the very beginning, Marijke was instrumental in creating a seamless and unforgettable experience for the couple and our families. She guided us through everything - from recommending fantastic local vendors (special shout-out to Brothers Pizza for the rehearsal dinner, Mr. Garcia knows his stuff), to patiently answering all our questions and providing thoughtful advice on staging the reception. Her reassurance was much appreciated, especially since this was the first wedding for both sets of parents! We booked the venue from Friday to Sunday, and having the entire wedding party stay onsite made the whole weekend feel cozy and relaxed. We had full use of the kitchen for the rehearsal dinner, which made everything convenient and stress-free. The reception space is stunning - chandeliers hanging from the rafters give it a rustic elegance that requires minimal decorating. There is a European countryside charm that the couple immediately fell in love with. Throughout the venue, you’ll find Marijke’s artwork, which adds a personal and artistic touch to the space. She’s an incredibly talented artist, and her work gives the venue unique warmth and personality. The venue truly speaks for itself. Zigbone was more than just a venue; it was a home for a weekend full of love, joy and unforgettable memories. Many thanks to Marijke and Dena! Highly, highly recommended!

From our very first conversation with Megan, we knew we wanted her to help plan out our Annapolis wedding. She was our day of coordinator so we started working with her consistently a little over 2 months out from our wedding day. She communicated with us every step of the way, was upfront about everything, and thought through details we didn't even know to consider. What really impressed us was how she let us decide how involved we wanted to be—we could get updates on all vendor communications or just a weekly summary, whatever worked best for us. Her fees are incredibly reasonable for the amount of work she puts in and the peace of mind she gave us - she is soooo thorough. I truly can’t emphasize enough how fantastic she is, both as a planner & person. On our wedding day, we could actually enjoy ourselves because Megan had everything handled so perfectly. She's the rare combination of professional, genuinely caring, and fun to work with. We couldn’t recommend her more!!

From the very beginning, she was incredibly kind, organized, and always open to my ideas and any changes I had along the way, which I truly appreciated.

Famed, Elegant and Unique! Renovated from farmhouse to Mansion in 1872, Bowling Brook was one of the most significant horse training facilities in the nation boasting 7 Preakness winners. The mansion has been fully restored with elegant finishes while maintaining the original historic detail and charm. Located in Carroll County, Maryland and minutes away from Frederick County, Maryland.

Bowling Brook Mansion is incredible! This is a truly special venue. We offer our strongest possible recommendation, and our earnest thanks, to Debbie and her staff for making our wedding day more beautiful than we had ever imagined. The venue itself is gorgeous. The mansion is colorful and picturesque; the indoors are classy but not cluttered; the grounds are sprawling and luscious. We held our ceremony in a gorgeous, decorated, wooded grove, and took photos throughout the surrounding farmlands. We were very happy with the amount of space our guests had available to roam and mingle inside and outside the mansion. The ballroom was spacious, and with a cool summer evening, we were able to open an outdoor patio/tent area for guests to socialize. Also, when the evening wound down, we went to the roofdeck with close family and friends for a late afterparty under the stars—a gorgeous night in the countryside! Debbie and her staff are amazing. We can’t say enough about Debbie herself. She treated us like a member of her family, not just another customer. She was also easy to reach and easy to talk to throughout the planning process. She worked to understand our needs and sincerely respected our vision for our wedding, making several accommodations for our plans—such as permitting us to select off-list vendors, working with our family’s arrival time needs, and allowing us to stay in the honeymoon suite before the wedding. On our wedding day, she stayed on top of managing the vendors so that we could focus on enjoying ourselves. We owe a special thanks to Debbie’s staff for helping out in the aftermath of a hurricane. During the week before our wedding, the remnants of a tropical storm swept through Maryland. We were very worried that we would have to commit to an indoor ceremony, but the storm cleared late on Friday night, and Saturday was temperate and picturesque. Debbie and her staff arrived early Saturday morning and worked very hard to get the mansion and the grounds ready. Their hard work made our wedding day everything we wanted it to be. Thanks again to Debbie and her team. If you’re getting married in Maryland, we earnestly encourage you to consider Bowling Brook! (Photo Credit: Tom Bennett Photography)

Niko & Mary were wonderful to work with. They truly made our dream wedding come to life. They were attentive - always answering our questions and making sure everything ran as smoothly as possible. Food: Booking with Union Mills gave us the freedom to create the food experience we truly wanted. We went with a Filipino-inspired menu that combined many of our favorite dishes, and Niko was incredibly knowledgeable about different cultural cuisines. He offered wonderful selections and made the process so enjoyable. The pizza options were endless and allowed us to get creative as well! Drinks: The drinks were out of this world. We loved the variety of drink and beer options they provided. We really appreciated that they went the extra mile to source specific beers we requested — even getting one of our favorites on tap just for us! Location: The location of Union Mills is unbeatable. Its walkability to downtown Frederick and nearby bars was one of the main reasons we chose it. Since many of our guests were traveling from out of state or even out of the country, we wanted them to experience the true charm of Frederick, Maryland. Union Mills offered the perfect accessibility for our guests both before and after the wedding. Parking: Mary and Niko provided detailed maps to help our guests find parking easily. There’s plenty of parking available around Union Mills, and they were able to reserve a limited number of spots for us, which was so helpful. Communication: Mary and Niko were always responsive and easy to reach, whether by text or email. From our experience, they replied very quickly via text, which was perfect for quick questions. For more detailed inquiries about logistics or planning, email communication worked great. Their responsiveness made the planning process smooth and stress-free. Suggestions: The only thing we would have appreciated was a more streamlined way to receive quotes and itemized details. One of our other vendors used an event management app called A Perfect Venue, which made tracking and organizing everything really easy. Besides that, we were completely happy with everything Union Mills had to offer! Overall, we highly recommend working with Union Mills — you won’t regret it. We had such a wonderful, unforgettable experience! Thank you for your creativity, your thoughtful menu suggestions, and for executing everything so perfectly. We still dream about the food to this day and feel so lucky to have experienced such a wonderful celebration with the two of you.

She was responsive, creative, and so easy to work with. She never made me feel like I was too type A, or that my ideas were too much or not enough.

Caboose Farm!!! We saw a few pictures online and fell in love. It had everything we wanted, houses on-site for us to host family and friends, beautiful open venue to walk around and so may places to host the ceremony. We saw two other venues before visiting Caboose and we made our decision before even leaving the property. Colby was so helpful, answered all our questions, was patient and very flexible. He gave amazing recommendations for catering and a tent and truly pulled through. It's crazy how much he does every weekend. Our wedding weekend was the most perfect weekend and we wish we could relive it again and again and that has so much to do with this perfect venue. The massive tree was the best spot, such beautiful places to take our couple photos, reception area was so great; literally no negative notes. My family was so happy they all got to pile into one house together. Similarly our friends loved being able to bounce around from house to house and no one had to drive. We're so glad we chose this venue for our wedding. 11/10 would recommend and 12/10 would do it again if we could. Thank you Colby and the rest of the Caboose Farm team for such an incredible weekend!!!

Capturing the real unforgettable moment on your wedding day is a privilege I take very seriously. I will be there to support you through the entire wedding process and then fist pump along side you on the dance floor. My main goal is to provide you with an incredible experience. A quick background about me, I am a born and raised Maryland girl. I am married to the love of my life, we have two beautiful daughters and two sweet pups! When I'm not photographing I'm usually paddle boarding, cooking, or going to amusement parks with my family. I cannot wait to capture your most precious memories that will last a life time!

Jessi is AMAZING, point blank period. She came recommended to me by another photographer that I know, and from the first phone call my fiancé and I had with her, we all just clicked, and I knew that it was a perfect match. Jessi is organized and responsive, and was super detailed about explaining her processes with us. She’s also really outgoing, and got along with absolutely everyone that she interacted with at our wedding, and we got told over and over again by our friends and family that they all loved her just as much as we did! Our pictures turned out so beautifully, and captured not only the beautiful scenery, but also the overall vibes and highlights of our day. It’s amazing that even without words, the photos that Jessi took will take us back to the best day of our lives forever. We would recommend Jessi 1000x over, and we’ll definitely be asking her to capture milestones for us as long as she’s working

I booked Margo as my wedding hair stylist and she was amazing!! Her professionalism and bubbly personality made my wedding morning stress-free, and she gave me the hair style of my dreams I first booked a hair trial with Margo about a year ahead of my wedding. From the start, she was communicative, and my trial session was a lot of fun. She answered a ton of my questions about timeline, hair styles, and more. She also sent me extra reference photos when I requested them to prepare for my bridesmaids. Margo is also incredibly fast. We had a 12pm finish time, and I had 5 bridesmaids plus myself that needed their hair done. She arrived at 7:30AM and completed everyone’s hair in a timely manner. My bridesmaids had hair ranging from very naturally curly and thick to extremely straight and hard to hold a curl. Every single one of the girls’ hair held up for the entire day over 12 hours, and everyone was delighted with their chosen styles! My hair was still looking fantastic after a lot of dancing (see the attached photo of me at top golf at the end of the night!) I highly recommend Margo for an entirely stress-free morning getting ready for your wedding, and if you want you and your bridesmaids looking beautiful for the entire day. Her and her team at The Whole Story are amazing!!!

There are truly not enough words to describe what Darshan means to us and how much of our wedding’s beauty, joy, and peace came from him. When we think back on our wedding journey, one of the biggest blessings in it was finding Darshan and the ShubhMangal Events team. From our very first conversation, there was something so genuine and comforting about him. In the middle of all the chaos, emotions, decisions, and stress that come with planning a wedding, Darshan became the person who constantly reminded us that everything would be okay — and somehow, it always was. He didn’t just help plan our wedding; he carried our dreams with so much care, patience, and love as if they were his own. Every little detail mattered to him because he knew it mattered to us. There were so many moments where he went above and beyond in ways people will never fully see — the late-night calls, the constant reassurance, the problem-solving behind the scenes, the way he quietly handled everything so we could stay present and happy. We never once felt like “clients.” We felt genuinely cared for. And on the wedding day… it honestly felt magical. Not because everything was extravagant or perfect in the traditional sense, but because everything felt full of heart. We were able to look around, hold each other’s hands, laugh with our families, cry happy tears, and actually live in every moment without worrying about a single thing. That gift is something we will carry with us forever, and it was only possible because Darshan poured so much of himself into making our day special. What makes Darshan unforgettable is not just his talent or professionalism — though he has both in abundance — it’s the kind of person he is. He has the rare ability to make people feel safe, celebrated, understood, and important during one of the most emotional times of their lives. You can feel how deeply he cares in everything he does. Years from now, when we look back at our wedding, we will remember the love, the happiness, and the feeling of being surrounded by people who truly wanted the best for us. Darshan will always be part of that memory. Thank you, Darshan, for giving us more than a beautiful wedding. Thank you for giving us peace, joy, and moments we will treasure for the rest of our lives. We will never forget everything you did for us. — Rupin & Malavika

Bazarr Blossoms

My love for floral design began inside the horticulture classroom at my high school. That classroom played a pivotal role in allowing me to be creative in ways that I never had been before. When I left for college, My goal was to study business in order to operate my own Floral Business but I quickly lost track of that dream. The pandemic served as a wake up call for me just like it did for so many others. Allowing me to rediscover my love for flowers and all things beautiful. Bazarr Blossoms is more than a business its a passion that allows me to stay true to that teenager who once created and dreamed inside that high school classroom.

Awarded Best of Zola
Bazarr did a phenomenal drop bring my vision to life. I wanted our wedding to feel very warm and romantic. She assisted me with picking the flowers that matched the look I was seeking. She was super flexible, transparent with pricing, and her response time to questions and concerns were instant. We got married in July on a hot summer day. She insured that our flowers were in great condition on a hot humid day by keeping them cool and watered. I would highly recommend her for services.

My goal is to make sure every video I create represents you as the couple exactly as you are and tells the story of your day in a way that preserves the emotion and memories for years to come. I love to work with people from all walks of life and am inclusive of every type of love story. As I grow in my art and in my business, I find myself leaning more and more toward authenticity. During your day, I want to capture your true selves, therefore I do very little posing or staging. I will gently guide you during couples portraits, or point you toward the best light, but other than that, I strive to be as unobstrusive as possible.

We loved working with Jon! He offered us so many great options and was incredibly accommodating with every request we had for our wedding music. He and his team are truly professional and kept the night running smoothly from start to finish. The “dancing on the clouds” feature was such a magical touch for our night sky themed wedding—it made our first dance feel truly unforgettable. We also booked the "retro" photo booth which was a huge hit! Our guests were using it all night long with help from the lovely Shelby. You absolutely NEED this photo booth at your wedding—it’s such a fun experience and an amazing keepsake! We had the best time looking through all the photos afterward. A special shout-out to District Harmony for performing during our ceremony and cocktail hour- they were fantastic! Walking down the aisle to their rendition of “Merry-Go-Round of Life” was a dream come true. Everyone commented on how great they sounded. They were the perfect addition to our day!

She’s incredibly responsive, organized, and kind, which made the whole process stress-free. Amanda thought of every shot we could possibly want and guided us through the perfect poses. I highly recommend doing an engagement session with her, too. We went in feeling nervous and stiff, but by the end we were completely at ease and the photos turned out absolutely perfect. It’s so clear how much Amanda loves what she does, and her energy is so fun to be around. We loved having her as part of our wedding day and could not be happier with our photos!

The Hummingbird Chateau was the perfect choice for our wedding venue! From the beginning, Leah’s communication was quick and responsive, which was greatly appreciated during the busy wedding planning process. The space itself was absolutely stunning, with so many decor options to choose from, multiple areas we could choose from for our ceremony and actual bathrooms for our guests! From the moment we booked I was able to call or text her with any questions I had and was also able to stop by multiple times to choose which decor pieces I wanted to use and to go over decor layouts. On the day of the wedding, Leah and the rest of the staff were there all day to help with anything we needed! They helped setup all the decor and even helped cleaned up afterwards. She also coordinated with our other vendors day of and made sure everything was running smooth! She made our day completely stress free. Seriously could not have asked for a better venue to host our special day! Leah and the staff were amazing and totally out did themselves!!

My adventure in photography began as a kid with my brightly Fisher-Price 110 camera. It had the coolest flash cubes! I shot countless rolls of film around our family farm. My mother has albums full of prints to prove it! I’ve shot photos in a variety of settings and venues and usually make my clients feel comfortable by quoting Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute and a good dose of self deprecating humor.

Barb was amazing to work with. She made us feel so comfortable both during our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. Many of our guests even mentioned how wonderful she was after the wedding was over. Not to mention, her pictures are truly works of art. You won't be disappointed if you work with Barb, it's simply not possible.
