All I can say is HIRE HIM! From our first messages with DJ Karizma, his respect for couples and his absolute passion for music was extremely evident. He sent us worksheets to fill out for both the ceremony and reception. The sheets were very thorough and super helpful as we began thinking of music we wanted. After we submitted our worksheets, we had a call with DJ Karizma. He went through each and every song we requested, he played a tidbit of each one, and we confirmed it was the correct song. Later in the call, he respectfully brought up some concerns regarding what we had envisioned and how it conflicted with some of the logistics. We were so incredibly grateful for this conversation because HE is the professional and he was sharing HIS professional opinions. In the end, we took every single bit of his advice and it turned out EVEN BETTER than we had ever imagined! One the day of our wedding (7/11,) DJ Karizma met each guest and vendor with the utmost respect. His announcements, his music, and his ability to service a room of many generations is impeccable. He kept people of all ages moving and grooving! My nanny (83) was even up and going with Get Low!! Anyone can play music from a list, but DJ Karizma will bring your ideas to life, your crowd on their feet, and a smile to everyone’s face!

Thinking about having your good friend officiate your big day for you, but unsure of how they will do? Well what if your good friend was a professional with over 2,300 weddings under their belt? That's the best way to describe what we shoot for at MBE ... being the good friend that definitely knows what to do when the moment counts! Whether you plan to have an intimate elopement ceremony or if you've been working on your dream wedding for months, we'd love to help you make your day one to truly remember. Our goals are to help you decide exactly what you want to do on your big day and to do everything we can to make it come to life!

One of the most complimented parts of our entire wedding day was our ceremony, and that’s all thanks to our incredible officiant, Evan. From the beginning, we knew we wanted a ceremony that felt meaningful and personal, and Evan delivered that and so much more. He met with us ahead of time, walked us through everything, and really took the time to understand our story. When the big day came, he absolutely nailed it. He shared our love story in such a heartfelt and light-hearted way, beautifully weaving in some of my favorite scripture. There was laughter, happy tears, and so much joy…he truly set the tone for the rest of the day, and helped calm my nerves more than he probably realized. To top it all off, Evan is a true jack of all trades, his company also offers bartending services! Right after the ceremony, he jumped behind the bar and kept the good vibes going. So many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed chatting with him and how great the service was. If you're looking for someone who can do it all,and do it with heart….Evan is your guy.

Now, we're committed to preserving your special memories with that same passion and care. ​We’re based in the Hampton Roads, VA area and are willing to travel!

Awarded Best of Zola
We absolutely loved working with Bryauna and Jamar at Moments for Life Visuals. From booking our initial consultation to giving updates on wedding timelines to following up post wedding, they were responsive and easy to get in touch with. Jamar showed up right on time on our wedding day and we felt really comfortable with him around. He managed to capture the entire vibe of the day from the big moments to the little details. We were really on the fence about whether or not the cost of a videographer would be worth it since we already booked a photographer. Moments for Life had packages that fit with our budget and we’re so glad we booked them. Photos are great, but the videos we got are so full of life and are truly magical. If you’re on the fence about hiring a videographer - DO IT! We also really appreciated that Moments for Life gave us the raw footage of our ceremony, reception speeches, dancing, and cake cutting.

When my daughter said she wanted a two-plus-hour dance party at her wedding, I couldn’t imagine anyone staying on the dance floor for that long. But thanks to DJ Josh and Dream Team Events, they pulled it off perfectly! They created the ideal mix of music that kept everyone dancing non-stop.

As both a bride and a former wedding coordinator, I can’t recommend Kaytlyn enough! From the very beginning, she was a dream to work with — professional, responsive, and so easygoing. We first worked with her for our engagement session, and the results were absolutely stunning — she captured us so naturally and beautifully that we knew instantly she was the perfect choice for our wedding. On a personal note, I also booked a boudoir session with her as a surprise for my husband on our wedding day. She made me feel completely comfortable in a very vulnerable setting, and within minutes I was totally at ease. The results were elegant, empowering, and something I will treasure forever. On the wedding day itself, she blended seamlessly into the flow of events, capturing everything without ever feeling intrusive. Having worked with many photographers in my coordinator role, I can say her professionalism and ability to connect with her clients is truly exceptional. She has that rare combination of talent, warmth, and efficiency that every bride dreams of in a wedding vendor. If you’re a bride looking for a photographer who will make you feel comfortable, capture your day beautifully, and handle everything with professionalism, look no further — Kaytlyn is the one!

We hired Paula and Samantha pretty down to the wire of our wedding, but they immediately jumped in! We contacted them on Friday, and they had our proposal ready by Monday! Our flowers fit our vibe perfectly: I wanted something to pull from the venue's brick, but not look too "autumny" for our January wedding, and they nailed it! They look and feel like "regular" flowers, but they'll last forever and have so far held up perfectly! We're gifting a number of our pieces to our mothers and grandmothers as keepsakes from our amazing day, while saving the rest to display around our house! We're so happy to have such beautiful mementoes to remember it by!

If there’s one piece of advice I could give to anyone planning their wedding, it’s to hire these two. Their talent, energy, and genuine passion for their work are unmatched. Absolutely amazing!

Hi! I’m Destiny — planner, photographer, and your go-to calm, organized presence throughout the wedding journey. With several years of event management experience, a Master’s in Film, and a small but dedicated team, we bring both structure and creativity to every celebration. We offer day-of coordination, partial planning, full service planning, and storytelling photography for couples who want a seamless, joy-filled day. Our goal is to make the entire experience easy, fun, and beautifully captured from start to finish.

Hiring Barking Hound Productions was the best decision we made for our wedding. Their communication was prompt, thorough, and very nice throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and value they provided was diligent, reliable, of the highest integrity, and truly exemplary. Mrs. Williams and her team created a detailed wedding timeline that kept everything on track. They coordinated seamlessly with all our vendors, ensured everything arrived on time, and even surprised us with a custom playlist for our big day when we mentioned we wouldn't have the time to make one during our final check-in. Their attention to detail made our day stress-free and uniquely ours. They brought our wedding vision to life with custom decor, from vintage pieces to personalized signage. Their creativity and dedication was unmatched and they turned our vision into something beyond what we imagined. The value we got was worth way more than the price we paid. This is the kind of service that makes your big day unforgettable. I will be forever grateful.

Beach MUA did my makeup for a styled shoot. I’m a day of coordinator with a local wedding planner and I felt so pretty for our professional photos. They listened to what I liked and didn’t liked, provided touch up supplies and completed it in a timely manner. I would absolutely book Beach MUA for any glam makeup I need done!

From the moment we first pulled into the venue Dec 2022, we knew then we were going to love this venue. Before we even walked inside, the drive up and the scenery outside gave us such good vibes. Everyone here was such a big help in the planning process, and was always willing to answer any question we had all the way up to wedding day, May 11, 2024. There is lots of outdoor space as well as a huge inside space. Bridal and groom suite was spacious while we were there getting ready. The Maine of Williamsburg made us feel like we were at home and we would definitely recommend this venue to anyone.
