From the very beginning Denean was with us asking the right questions and keeping us on a realistic timeline. All of her vendor recommendations were perfect, and she gave us a great selection. She was very knowledgeable about quality vendors that fit our budget and she had experience working with just about everyone. Every interaction we had with her was organized, professional, and personalized to our wedding vision. She has wedding planning down to a science and it was a true pleasure working with her. The day of the wedding went so smoothly and I know it was because of her! Her services were a big part of what made our special day so wonderful and I would recommend her highly to anyone looking to plan a wedding or event. We also used Denean for our decor and flowers and we were in love with everything she helped create for us. She listened to us carefully and was able to channel our style into the wedding perfectly.

We were attending a wedding of a friend of ours and my wife had a horrible headache. We had taken…read morean Uber from our hotel to the venue so we didn't have anything on hand or an easy way to get something. My friend told me to ask the wedding planner which I was able to find easily. She told me to hold on a minute and not two minutes later she was back with some Advil. Saved the night for sure! If she pays this much attention to small details like this, have no fear that the important ones will be taken care of.

I worked with a number of vendors that are a part of The Be More Inspired wedding team and could…read morenot be happier with everything! 1. The wedding dress: I got my Martina Liana dress from K&B Bridals and was comfortable every step of the way. This was honestly the thing I was dreading most. I suppose most brides are excited at trying on multiple dresses in front of their friends and family. This is not me. I initially felt very self-conscious about parading around in a fancy dress. Kate was AMAZING and really helped me through this. She listened to my preferences and got a feel for my tastes and was never pushy and always honest. 2. Photographers - Alysia and Jayson were beyond amazing. I could go on and on about them but will save this for another review. They made us feel extremely comfortable and we genuinely had fun with them. The day of the wedding, it was also unbelievably valuable to have their calm presence amidst all the chaos. 3. Faye Daniels Designs - I LOVED the custom jewelry pieces made by Randie and her team! What was very nice was having them available down the hall when I was picking out the dress. Randie came right over and we came up with the perfect rose gold hair piece with pearls and hand-made gold plated leaves to go with the dress. It came out beautiful! I also ended up getting earrings for the moms which were perfect wedding gifts. 4. Travelworks International - With all of the planning that already goes into weddings, I was SO thankful to have Kelly take one more thing off my plate and I could not be happier to leave this part up to her as the professional. I had a misconception that travel agents were also more expensive but this could not be further from the truth! We booked a very reasonable trip to Maui, she worked with us and our budget seamlessly, and it was unforgettable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

One of our favorite vendors. We really recommend Wicked Willow to anyone!

I went with their Couture Wedding plan and worked with Pam. I couldn't have been more pleased with their services across the board. They work very well with vendors and go above and beyond for their brides. Unfortunately, on the flip side, my wedding didn't happen. They took care of everything when my fiancé left me just a few months before our wedding day. Regardless, I was pleased with their quality of work both in planning and canceling my wedding. While my special day was a no go I'd definitely recommend their services to anyone looking for a wedding planner in MD or DC. They were open to venues everywhere be it Baltimore, Annapolis or DC. Much love to these ladies! Check them out!

Joyce was the officiant at our wedding in September. She was amazing! We had originally wanted a…read morefriend to marry us but were disappointed when we learned Virginia is very strict as to who can officiate a wedding in their state. However, after having worked with Joyce, I feel like a friend did marry us. I met her at the Washington, D.C. Bridal Expo and my husband (then fiancée), Joel and I met with her a couple of weeks later. We immediately knew she was the person we wanted officiating our ceremony. She is warm, friendly, and extremely prepared. She has mountains of resources to make your ceremony special and she worked with us to make our ceremony unique and 100% us! We are so impressed and appreciative of Joyce's hard work and professionalism. She was just as invested in making our ceremony memorable and heartfelt as we were.

We are so pleased that we hired Rev. Bill Cochran to perform our marriage ceremony! From the…read morestart, he was kind, helpful, and calm (an essential trait when working with stressed brides!). We loved the fact that we could tailor our wedding ceremony to reflect us, not just any other wedding. Bill gave us lots of information about different blessings, readings, how to write our vows, unity ceremonies, processional order, and gave us a nice copy of our marriage license to hang on the wall. He was always willing to answer any questions that arose while we were planning our wedding. Additionally, we participated in the one-on-one marriage counseling that he offers. Though we had been together for over 6 years before getting married, we found the counseling to be helpful in that he gave us suggestions for different ways to talk to each other when we might feel that we're stuck on an issue. We highly recommend that you hire Rev. Bill Cochran to officiate your wedding ceremony! You will be so happy that you did!

They made sure we ate and got drinks on time. Dinner was amazing and appropriately hot for all of our guests. The substitutions we wanted were there and the wine we set to the side for us as the bride and groom was served to us without any hassle. Everyone was friendly and did a fantastic job. I'm still hearing about how professional and ready everything was from having cocktails ready and mocktails for guests before they even needed to go to the bar. I'm also still hearing about the focaccia bread that was served during cocktail hour. You cannot go wrong with Zeffert and Gold. I loved the option to take home or donate food that was leftover. They did everything right.

Special Moments was amazing! Denise and her staff did an outstanding job in the oversight of my fabulous wedding. My venue was already gorgeous and the SM staff really went above and beyond to ensure my wedding ceremony and reception was elegant, sexy and most importantly Old Hollywood Glamour style. In addition to the wedding day, Denise was very vigilant in going over all contracts and ensured that all discrepancies were rectified. Special Moments also provided support, and fought to keep my vision in tact! The week of the wedding, my schedule was extremely hectic however; Denise kept me calm, kept vendors in check and kept my family in line. I couldn't have asked for a better team to execute my larger than life, Old Hollywood Glam wedding day. SM is a worthy investment and comes highly recommended!

I had a very vague concept of what I was looking for when we initially met for a consultation and asked her to take creative freedom with my only requests being "sunflowers and a general fall vibe". Her work has a very organic feel to it, and it absolutely blew me away. My guests are still talking about how incredible my bouquet was!! She had all kinds of ideas that hadn't even crossed my mind like building an arch from branches, and putting fall garland on tables to enhance the scenery of our wedding venue. She was even able to locally source organic flowers for our wedding which made us so happy! Everything was perfect in every way. It is also worth mentioning that Christie is AMAZING with communication. I am very "Type A" with organization and planning, and she kept me in the loop every step of the way and consulted me throughout the process which gave me constant reassurance and kept my mind at ease. I cannot recommend this business enough!
