I just wanted to take a moment to thank Jason for the fantastic job he did as our DJ at our daughter's wedding! Jason was very professional and just a pleasure to work with! From start to finish, you truly made Alex and Sam's day extra special! The music was perfect—every song you played set the right mood and kept the energy high all night. We’ve received nothing but compliments from our guests about how great the playlist was and how much fun they had on the dance floor. You really knew how to read the crowd and keep everyone dancing all night! I think Breakin' Free from High School Musical was a highlight—Alex and Sam looked so cute; I couldn’t stop smiling! Thanks again for being such a key part of their celebration. The memories of that unforgettable dance party will be cherished for years to come. We’re so grateful Alex and Sam chose you to help make their big day even more special!

I chose Updos For I Dos because I wanted a "no-stress" experience: meaning, I wanted someone I could trust! They were very professional, listened to what everyone wanted, and made the process very smooth. We had one hair stylist and one makeup artist for about 7 people (including bride), and they finished right on time! I appreciated that my curls lasted throughout the whole event. Also, they pinned my hair perfectly for us to clip in the veil and for it not to make my hair fall out. Great job!

Primary Videographer: Leslie Secondary Videographer: Zach (Zachary) DJ: Heath Leslie and Heath were the next vendors we booked. Their wedding videos stood out from others because they truly captured the essence of who we are and the uniqueness of our wedding day. Unlike many wedding videos that feel repetitive, theirs felt personal and authentic. DJ Topedo’s app is a game changer. It’s comprehensive and made us think about aspects of wedding planning we hadn’t considered. Heath worked with us through the app multiple times to understand our vision and ensure everything went smoothly. He also did a fantastic job understanding our vision with the music. People don’t fully comprehend how important music is for setting the ambience not just for you but also for your guests. Sharing a video of our first dance in advance helped Leslie and Zach plan the best angles to capture this special moment. Their professionalism and dedication ensured that every detail of our day was beautifully documented.

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,000

Saroj James Hyoju, got into DJ industry upon walking into Latin club in Dallas, Texas in 2015. Coming from band background, he was surprised to see how people were moved by “Gasolina”, a reggaeton song. Observing how DJ was controlling the crowd’s energy while enjoying himself, this made him curious about club music genres, besides metal and rock. Following immediately, he hosted a Bring Your Own Beer (BYOB) house party, where 50 people showed up. A week later, he was invited to co-DJ at one of his friends’ wedding reception and rest is the history.

Saroj was great!! He was super helpful leading up to the wedding, the app to choose songs and answer questions was super easy to use and James was awesome as the day approached. Day of, James killed it and kept our guests dancing all night long!

Looks By Dara creates timeless, camera-ready bridal hairstyles with a calm, luxury touch. Licensed with over 10 years of experience, Dara specializes in romantic waves, updos, and custom looks that last from first look to last dance. Every detail, from the trial to the final pin, is planned to keep your morning stress-free and joyful. Serving the DMV and destination weddings, Dara brings artistry, precision, and heart to ensure you feel celebrated, confident, and beautiful on your wedding day.

Dara has been my go-to hair dresser for quite a few years now. She really understands how to maintain hair health and has a great range to be able to cut and style my hair in either its naturally coily state and its straightened state - something that is really important to me! My silk press lasts about two weeks (without a relaxer) when I get them done from her! For me that’s a looonnngg time. My hair has grown so much under her care, as it was VERY damaged from relaxing it and always adding extensions when I first started seeing her. So when I found out that Dara was doing hair for a wedding I was going to be in, it was a no-brained to have her do my hair. She took the time to chat beforehand with me and made sure she knew what I wanted. She was able to work with the curly extensions I brought with me. And she took the time and care to make sure I not only looked good as a bridesmaid but that I loved the way I looked. She is not only a talented hair stylist but also an all around sweet human being. You won’t regret working with her!

Greetings and salutation! I am a blue haired, tattooed geek girl wedding planner with a love of dragonflies & offbeat events! I have also been wedding planning since 2004. I haven't met a DIY project I can't wait to try, a scrapbook page I didn't want to make, or a cosplay idea I didn't want to put together. Watching all the different elements come together to make something come alive is fantastic. I approach all my events the same way. Helping a client pull together all of their puzzle pieces to make an event that is uniquely theirs is the best feeling!

Our wedding was going to be so simple, if you ask my husband. Tee-shirts. Taco truck. American Legion. Guests. Done. Even he had to thank Fran profusely for all of her foresight, thoughtful touches, and management skills. This was a second wedding for both with kids and exes on both sides. It went off flawlessly, thanks to Fran. Our wedding ceremony and reception were on consecutive days. She printed and framed ceremony pics to display at the reception. She kept an eye on tipsy guests and let us know about potential issues. She found seats for the guests who I had carelessly left off the seating chart. She picked up, deployed, and returned the table cloths and had special little decorations for our table. I couldn't possibly list all the things she did to make the day run smoothly and to make us feel cared for and loved. Thank you Fran. You almost make me want to do it all over again.

First and foremost, congratulations! This is an exciting time! Before I begin with all the details, I would like to do away with the formalities and keep it light. Technically speaking, I’m a photographer, but honestly, since establishing my business in 2014, I would consider myself a teammate through this process. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know couples, their families, their stories, and at the end of the day, becoming a good friend. If this vibes with you, we are off to a good start :) Answering questions, transparency in communication, and prompt responses are important to me and I hope that everything I share resonates.

I can't say enough about Justin! We had an amazing experience working with him for our elopement. He played a VERY important role in our big day, not only as our photographer, but as our witness, sole ceremony attendee, hype man, and what felt like a friend by the end of the day. He went above and beyond our expectations, and our photo session with him was a highlight of our wedding experience. Justin is amazing at his craft, as evidenced by his work. He also has an intimate knowledge of the DC monuments, museums, and various venues that offer great photo ops, so he was very helpful in selecting the Library of Congress as the primary setting for our session post-ceremony. Once we were there, he knew all of the best rooms, corners, and angles to get the best shots. He also identified a few impromptu stops on our path to get shots with the Capitol and the Washington Monument in the background. I couldn't be happier that we were able to get such amazing photos in front of the most iconic spots in DC. Beyond the beautiful photos, Justin has an infectious energy and is so much fun to be around. He will put you at ease while coaching you through poses, and he makes the whole thing so much fun. We're so happy to have had Justin as part of our day, and to have such beautiful memories to look back on!

DJ Ed was so accommodating in bringing our medieval fantasy cocktail hour to life. It perfectly set the mood I was looking for, and I was so happy that he was able to play our nontraditional music selections; thankfully he was able to use a Spotify playlist I had made just for cocktail hour. I received so many compliments on the music from my guests, and he kept them dancing for hours! But the one thing Ed did that I was most impressed with and touched by, was him picking the perfect next song when my husband was dancing with his daughter. Our photographer was able to get some beautiful photos of the moment, and we will be treasuring them for years. Without Ed's instincts and quick thinking, we wouldn't have those photos. I can't thank Ed enough, and I highly recommend you consider him for your DJing needs.

Sarah James Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From our first interaction, they were thorough, professional, honest, and kind throughout the entire process. Their communication was top-notch, and they truly listened to our vision, incorporating our Pinterest boards and ideas seamlessly. The quality of their work is simply stunning - the photos are beautifully crisp, with a unique and artistic perspective that captured all the special moments of our day. Sarah has an incredible eye for detail and really made us feel like royalty, helping us look and feel our best. We are overjoyed with the final photos and would highly recommend Sarah James Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.
