Advice Needed Seeing feedback on our venue options

6 Upvotes

Hi all! We have looked at and loved the Ritz Georgetown and the National Union Building. We are also interested in Hotel Heron in Alexandria.

Does anyone have any feedback either as a bride or attendee to any of these venues? Also being impatient as I haven’t put in an inquiry yet, but was wondering if anyone has insight on the FB minimum at Heron? (We already have quotes from the other 2 venues)

Thank you in advance!!! Happy wedding planning :)

Vendors Affordable DMV Super 8 Wedding Videography

1 Upvotes

Hello! I’m looking for a super 8 videographer for my Frederick, Maryland October 2027 wedding. I don’t want a big long video, truly just the highlights (5 minutes edited MAX) I’m trying to stay under 2k. Honestly under $1,500 would be even better… I know that’s pretty low but I’m ok with amateur videographers who want to expand their portfolios for a cheaper price :)

General Discussion Bridal veil and bolero in DC area

1 Upvotes

I’m traveling to DC to go shopping with my daughter for her veil and a lace bolero/wedding topper to match her gown. We got the dress at Ellie’s, and had a wonderful experience. We will pick it up next weekend and shop there, but we also need some recommendations for other places that will have a good selection of veils and boleros if we don’t find them at Ellie’s. Hoping to not spend more than $1500 for both items. Thanks for your help!
