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.

Exactly one week ago, I married the love of my life. I could not have managed the stress of planning a wedding without the grace of God and EventBay, LLC. From consultation to day of, Bashan McLeod (owner) exuded professionalism, profoundness and poise. Her skillset, knowledge and expertise of wedding planning and event planning provided a sense of ease and allowed me to focus on the only important thing…marrying my husband. Lol. I retained the Day of Coordinator service from EventBay, LLC. and the Event Agenda a la cart service to make my big day manageable. Bashan went above and beyond, she always did a monthly check up on me to see how I was doing before her services started. And when the 30 days out started, this business owner was on it! She also recommended vendors when my now husband and I were stuck and could not find a DJ. My entire wedding party was in awe of the seamless transitions between timeline tasks and how Bashan and her team got us together. I am so very grateful to have found EventBay, LLC. I literally had no clue what I was doing. Bashan was clear and concise, personable, and fancy. I would definitely utilize EventBay, LLC.’s services again in the future for any event.

When planning my daughter's wedding, we weren't sure if hiring a videographer was in our budget or not. I reached out to Marc with Mako Productions and he was very communicative and asked what our budget was and listened. He was very willing to custom create a package that worked for us both.

I’m Laura - a photographer and lifelong storyteller who believes that being human is the art. I create imagery for people who don’t always see themselves in traditional photography: the dreamers, the artists, the misfits, and anyone still reaching for the clouds. My work blends editorial sensibility with emotional honesty. Think expressive color, playful imagination, and images that feel like they’re humming with soul. I’m here to make you feel seen, safe, and celebrated - because the best art happens when you’re allowed to simply be yourself. You bring the story; I’ll build the vision.

Awarded Best of Zola
There are not enough words to describe how grateful we are to Laura. She’s the perfect photographer for our day and would be the perfect photographer for anyone and everyone. We have a rowdy bunch and she could hang while keeping everyone organized. She’s part of the reason our wedding day ran AHEAD of schedule which is basically unheard of. The pictures are phenomenal and everything I wanted. She let us add on extra time basically day of cause we ended up deciding we needed her for way longer than contracted. She’s professional when needed but it also feels like you’re working with a friend. Me and my husband are not comfortable in front of a camera but she was our hype man and made us look amazing. This review doesn’t even scratch the surface of how much I recommend Laura. But just do it. For real. Laura we miss u can’t wait to see you for the maternity photos in a few years!

Josh and his team at Buxton Media Productions were a great company to work with from start to finish of our wedding. Josh was a great communicator and really understood from the beginning what we were wanting. Josh was also very helpful with timeline for the day and had great suggestions. He also worked very well with our photographer. The day of the wedding stayed on track with a lot of help from him and his team. We were able to enjoy the day along side him working to capture every moment. During our private vows I didn’t realize he and his team were there, but they still captured every moment. The quality of videos were amazing. After watching our ceremony video we were impressed with the sound quality and we were astonished by how many cameras he had around without us knowing they were there. Him and his team went above and beyond on our wedding day and showed real professionalism throughout the whole day. Josh was good on his delivery of videos from the sneak peak to the actual videos he sent. If you are thinking about getting a videographer don’t hesitate to book Buxton Media Production. You will not regret the choice and you will have captured memories you will cherish for years to come!

CJ was a life saver for our wedding! Starting with meeting him for the first time, he was super understanding and helped guide us with what our ideal wedding sounded like. He was super approachable and responsive to our questions. When we sent him our playlists for what we wanted him to play he went over each song and made sure he had the correct song by the correct artist which was super helpful. Now for where he saved our wedding! Our venue made a mistake of using our props for a wedding the night before but when CJ found out, he offered to use his cold sparks for us which was absolutely amazing! He kept the party alive and the fun flowing! We had so many guests come up to us during and after asking us if where we found CJ and loved his work. CJ made the soundtrack of our best day ever amazing.

Lauren was the BEST to work with! I booked a trial with her and was able to do my engagement photos right after. My wedding wasn't for another year, and the way she listened to each of the small tweaks I wanted to make to the wedding day look was amazing. I have never felt so beautiful before in my life. She provided a "glam" look without me feeling like I had makeup caked on my face. I still felt like myself. Attaching a photo from when my makeup was first completed around 1pm, then a photo from 3am after the wedding! I was still flawless! Side note...her prices feel like a steal compared to other makeup vendors in the area and the quality of service she provides. Book Lauren if you want to slay on your wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
KC Artistry was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding day! From the start, Krystal and her team were fast, communicative, and incredibly friendly. As the bride, the hair and makeup they did for me brought me to literal tears - I have never felt so beautiful and confident. Krystal and her team of incredibly talented hair stylists and makeup artists were a joy to have in the bridal suite. They handled my huge bridal party of 10 with such efficiency and ease. All of my bridesmaids and my mom loved their hair and makeup looks. Everyone looked stunning. Krystal was so amazing to work with and if I had to do it all over again, I would 100% use KC Artistry. I recommend them to everyone and will use them in the future for other events.

  • Serves West River, MD

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.

From the moment we first spoke with Megan and MM Designs Photography, we were impressed by her thoughtful, considerate, and prompt communication style. Her exceptional work and attention to detail resulted in perfection in capturing our special day. Megan understood the vision we had hoped for and was incredibly prepared, anticipating every moment of the shooting. We are eternally grateful for the hard work and care Megan has put into creating such magic, as she has photographed some of our biggest life events and has done an amazing job of preserving our most special lifelong memories.

At Harbor & Veil, we specialize in seamless day-of coordination for weddings and special events. ​ You planned every detail — now it’s time to be fully present. From weddings and birthdays to graduations and celebrations, we bring your vision to life so you can enjoy every moment.

If you’re considering hiring a wedding planner or day-of coordinator, I cannot recommend Taylor with Harbor & Veil enough! Having her as our 'person' was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and looking back, I don't want to imagine what the day could have been without her services. As someone who is extremely detail oriented and hands-on, I was initially hesitant about investing in wedding coordination services. It was a priority everything feel intentional and thoughtfully executed on my special day, and Taylor exceeded every expectation I had. She handled each detail with such care and attention it genuinely felt as though everything was being done exactly as I would have done it myself, and I cannot thank her enough. From rehearsal coordination and timeline planning to vendor communications, scheduling, setup oversight, and day-of execution, Taylor kept everything running smoothly. She was incredibly communicative, prompt, organized, calm under pressure, and an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. One of the most valuable parts of having Harbor & Veil involved in our wedding was the ability to be present and enjoy the day. Instead of worrying about logistics I was able to fully immerse myself in the experience and focus on celebrating with my husband and the people I love. While I found the pricing and our contracted rate to be extremely reasonable, the peace of mind I gained here was priceless. Taylor also did an incredible job curating and overseeing timing to ensure the flow on our wedding day was seamless. Everything felt polished, cohesive, and was beautifully managed behind the scenes. She coordinated our vendors flawlessly and ensured every moving piece came together just as it should. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Harbor & Veil. Taylor was professional, thoughtful, dependable, and genuinely invested in making our wedding day special. If you are planning a wedding and debating whether hiring a coordinator is worth it, I am here to tell you it absolutely is! Hiring Harbor & Veil was one of the best investments we made, and I would recommend Taylor wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a wedding planner or event coordinator. Thank you Harbor & Veil for being a huge part of our perfect day!
