Cheryl did an amazing job with our cake - it was absolutely delicious and looked incredible. We had an opportunity to taste a few of the cake flavors and went with vanilla, chocolate, and carrot cake for our 3-tiered wedding cake. A few weeks before the big day, she got in contact with us and went over our flavor choices and designs. While Cheryl had several signature designs for couples to choose from, we liked certain details from two designs and she combined it to make our wedding cake. The cake itself was moist and tender - our guests raved about it and even went back for seconds! It honestly was one of the best wedding cakes we've had. Thanks Cheryl!

My husband and I are still on cloud 9 from our March 2024 wedding and that is in big part because of Homayra and her team at Tilbury Floral Design. From the beginning, we just clicked with Homayra because of her down-to-earth, caring, enthusiastic, and passionate spirit. Our virtual meetings with her prior to our wedding along with her quick communication and her proposals that included rich visuals, descriptions of each arrangement, pricing options, etc. helped us feel comfortable and confident in her hands. Our vision for our wedding was an all-white Cinderella fairytale and she delivered BEYOND what we envisioned! When we walked into our venues, from the church to the cocktail hour to the reception, with all the floral and candle details and decor, the ambience felt dreamy, romantic, elegant, and magical; it took our breath and - that of our guests - completely away, in the best way possible! We are forever grateful to have crossed paths with Homayra! To take a peek into our fairytale, go onto her website, where some of our beautiful wedding photos can be found under Gallery - Angelica and Thierry.

Bianca is incredibly talented and just the best! She did the makeup for my May 2024 Indian fusion wedding (both for my wedding day and my Sangeet), and I could not have felt more beautiful. Something that was incredibly important to me when deciding on a MUA was finding an artist that is well experienced with a variety of skin tones. Bianca absolutely killed it while doing a variety of different looks. Leading up to my wedding, I went to Bianca for a few facials. The actual experience of the facial was so relaxing, and my skin was so hydrated and glowing leading up to my wedding. After my wedding, I also asked Bianca if she could do a makeup class for me. She had made me feel truly so beautiful (but still like myself). The class made makeup approachable for someone who has very limited makeup experience. She was SO thorough afterwards in all the materials she sent me with instructions and products listed to be able to recreate the looks we went over. I cannot recommend Bianca enough for all of her services!!

We can’t say enough good things about Andrea Green Events! We hired Andrea about 6 months before our small-ish April 2025 wedding, and at that point all we had was the venue and catering booked. She jumped right in, was super organized and professional, and really listened to our vision. She has an amazing professional network and helped us to secure vendors that were right for us, and made the whole process feel manageable and fun. And she saved us some money without sacrificing what was important to us! On the actual wedding day it rained, and though we hoped it would stop, we had to switch the ceremony indoors at the last minute. Andrea handled it like a total pro—coordinating with all the vendors and keeping our families calm and where they were supposed to be—so we didn’t have to stress about a thing. The day turned out absolutely beautiful, even better than we imagined, and we know that’s because of her. We ended up with a break in the rain immediately after the ceremony and guests were able to enjoy the beautiful weather and scenery overlooking the water during the reception. We couldnt stop raving about how beautiful it all was, and our guests had a wonderful time. We didnt even know about minor hiccups with guests and vendors until weeks later because she made sure it was all handled. We truly couldn’t have done it without Andrea. If you’re thinking about hiring her, don’t hesitate, you’ll be so glad you did!

I love how exciting and creative wedding photography can be while also giving me the opportunity to create something that is so meaningful to others. I got started with photography back in Michigan as a kid with my mom's old Minolta SLR. It wasn't until years later at art school in Kansas City that I realized how fulfilling and exciting wedding photography could be. It has been my focus ever since.

I highly HIGHLY recommend Asa! He and his colleague photographed our December '24 wedding and they did an AMAZING job. Asa has such a calming presence and on such a chaotic and stressful day it was so, so needed. He was so wonderful to work with in the planning and helped us make a thoughtful plan to ensure we got all of the photos we wanted. We had a traditional Catholic mass and he and his colleague were able to easily follow all of the Church's rules while capturing the essential moments flawlessly. We got every photo we wanted during the mass which was incredibly impressive. We also got shots at sunset by the water and Asa perfectly captured our vision! These are some of our favorite photos. He also captured all of the energy and fun that we had and we walked away with multiple photos of every single one of our guests which was such a treat. Lastly - his pricing is so fair and really competitive to all the photographers we got quotes from. He was easily able to work with our budget and was flexible to our specific needs. Overall - I would HIGHLY highly recommend Asa!

Her greatest skill is the ability to capture authentic moments in the most stunning and natural way. We wanted mostly candid moments, and she did exactly that. The photos tell the story of our day perfectly. I can't stop looking at the photos without getting emotional. The love and joy captured by her is reflected in every single image, and makes you relive the moment. If you're looking for someone who will treat your wedding day with the utmost care, kindness, and professionalism, Sarah is the photographer for you! We are beyond grateful for her amazing work and the memories she helped create! My only wish is to have another wedding just so I could work with her again!

The Fearless Eras 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
Alexandria, VA
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $4,000

Inspired by the timeless appeal of Taylor Swift's music, The Fearless Eras is THE DMV's Taylor experience that takes your event seriously with outstanding vocals and musicianship. Composed of dedicated Swifties, this group takes audiences on a musical journey through Taylor's evolving artistry, from her country era to the empowering pop anthems that unite fans worldwide. The Fearless Eras aims at making your event memorable with professionalism, flexibility, and open communication to ensure a seamless business experience and exceed expectations. Do not hesitate to ask any questions.

The Fearless Eras brought a high level of professionalism and polish to our event last September. From advance coordination to day of execution, they were organized, communicative, and fully aligned with the flow of our corporate program. Load in, soundcheck, and transitions were handled smoothly and discreetly—exactly what planners and couples hope for when trusting a band with a high stakes event. Once the music started, they transformed the atmosphere. Their ability to read the room and build energy made the performance feel effortless and immersive. Attendees—many of whom are not easy to pull onto a dance floor—were singing, dancing, and genuinely having fun. Guests continued to talk about the band long after the event ended, which is the kind of impact that elevates an entire celebration. For anyone planning a corporate gathering, gala, or wedding, The Fearless Eras offer the rare combination of reliability, musical talent, and crowd engaging energy. They deliver an experience that feels both polished and personal, making them a memorable highlight of Bloomberg Day and a strong choice for any event where entertainment truly matters.

A DMV/Panhandle of WV Full Service Wedding Planner. I am a hopeless romantic with a passion for organizing and planning—naturally leading me to become a wedding planner. I’ve worked in the events/wedding industry since 2016 and love the hustle of a wedding day! My goal is to bring your vision to life and make the planning process stress-free. Personally, my husband Kyle and I welcomed our first baby boy in August 2024 and are expecting a baby girl to arrive August of 2026. We also have three crazy Cocker Spaniels! We love to travel and try new restaurants.

Casey and her team were absolutely amazing! I was looking for a wedding planner and happened to meet Casey at the bridal expo in DC. After a quick consultation, I knew she was the one. We used her services for day of coordination, but she started a few months prior to my wedding. She helped with the timeline provided excellent feedback, was always available, extremely organized, and detail oriented. She absolutely went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful we had her as a planner.
