Heidi and her team were absolutely awesome. They were there the whole day helping set up the reception with all my “details”, helping at the ceremony – filling me in on what was going on, and directing the reception so we (me, my DH, or my parents) didn’t have to worry about a thing and could have a great time. Heidi even hung out with the late night crew as we were waiting for the bus to come back and take us downtown. I can’t recommend her enough.

I cannot say enough good things about Carolyn Bruckner. She was so great. When we met with her, I explained what I was looking for and she nailed it. When the bouquets showed up at the hotel – they were exactly what I wanted! And when we got the preview of the reception room – I was blown away with the beautiful flowers. I highly Carolyn – she was great to work with and is extremely reasonable if you’re looking for beautiful flowers on a budget.

DJ Rockin’ Ron was great. He started out a little slow (I think due to our having cocktail hour and the reception on 2 different floors), but was great the rest of the night. He handled my many requests without skipping a beat and played great music to keep everyone on the dance floor all night long.

Mike at Gifted Video was such a pleasure to work with. He has to be one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. We went back and forth about hiring a videographer due to the added expense, but after dealing with several vendors in the DC/Annapolis/Baltimore area, we found Mike who was so great to work with and had great rates. We haven’t seen the final version yet, but I can’t wait. Our reception was so much fun that I’m so glad we got it on film.

Melissa (or Missy) was the second shooter at my wedding and she was great. Photography was my biggest splurge and I wanted some beautiful shots. Rob Holley did a great job and I had my photos back within a week. Amazing. Melissa (or Missy) was his second shooter and was with the boys while getting ready and did the Groomsman shots. They raved about her and she was great. I highly recommend Missy for your wedding.

I highly recommend Rob and/or Missy for your wedding.

Megan was awesome! I can’t tell you how nice and luxurious it is to have hair and makeup experts come to you on you wedding day and Megan did such a great job. Again, she did such a great job making everyone look beautiful (I mean…more beautiful than they already are). Megan also was able to squeeze in my mom and my DH’s mom at the end when they decided last minute to get their makeup done. I highly recommend Megan!

Mindy was absolutely fabulous – so nice and talented. She did my hair and my 5 bridesmaids and made us all look perfect for our different looks instead of doing the same hairstyle on everyone – which I’ve seen before at other weddings. I would highly recommend Mindy.

Navy – Marine Corps Memorial Stadiums is available for anyone’s use (not just military). It is a first class facility and Cheryl is the perfect Event Manager. Cheryl and her staff were so great to work with. They took care of everything and we didn’t have to worry about anything. I also recommend renting the Flag Bridge for Cocktail Hour – Our guests are still raving about it. The food is outstanding – my dad is still talking about the appetizers and my DH LOVED the crabcake – and he is a Maryland Crabcake Snob.

Claire, Chaplain Callaham and the rest of the group at the USNA Chapel were so great to work with and were always available for every question (and there were a lot of them!). I highly recommend (if you qualify – sorry, not many do) choosing the Chapel for your wedding ceremony.
