Waterfront Wedding Services

Hard to believe, but almost a year ago I turned in my Single Girl Membership Card and got married…read more Getting married was not something I was looking for. Something in my female DNA might be defective or something because I've never dreamed of my wedding day and how wonderful and romantic it would be. I never thought of it at all. Until my heart was captured by my now husband. My hubs is the romantic one in our relationship. I'm the practical one. I've attended many lovely weddings over the years and completely respect that choices about weddings are intensely personal. To me the money spent on a big lavish wedding could be put to better use elsewhere, such as a new car or down payment on a home. So I was all like "hey, we'll go down to the courthouse and do this thing! I can get on your health insurance! And we can both go back to work afterwards." Hubs, who possesses good sense, said "no way". This was his 2nd marriage and it was important that his young son be a part of the ceremony. He was absolutely right on that point, the kid stays in the picture. But I still didn't want a whole wedding hoo-ha experience. I wasn't going to get sucked into the Wedding Industrial Complex, with its ice sculptures, junior bridesmaids, rehearsal dinners, and custom printed cocktail napkins with our names and the wedding date "Find someone to marry us," I ordered. The hubs found our wonderful wedding officiant, Jodi Arbor Johnson of Waterfront Wedding Services. Jodi was immediately responsive, letting us know her available dates, sample vows and the required procedures in Virginia to get married. Because we were doing this on a budget of nil, we asked Jodi for suggestions or free parks or other areas where we could do the ceremony. She suggested some excellent options, we checked them all out, and fell in love with a small, quirky sculpture garden in Tide Lock Park on the waterfront in Old Town. Mother Nature granted us the most exquisite weather possible on our wedding day. Jodi was there on time and ready to go! I really thought I might faint or something because I was so Totally Freaked Out About Getting Married, but Jodi's high energy and warm likeability immediately eased my nerves. Instead of being nervous I laughed my way through the ceremony. It was fun - and having fun took nothing away from the solemnity or seriousness with which I took my vows. Our ceremony was non-religious and informal, but Jodi does larger weddings and can officiate weddings in VA, DC, & MD. Waterfront Wedding Services also provides photography services and can help with other logistical challenges in planning a wedding. I'm so happy that my hubs found Jodi and Waterfront Wedding Services!

Jodi officiated our wedding at The Carlyle House in Old Town Alexandria. From the moment we met…read moreher, we knew she was who we wanted to have preside over our special day. In addition to being extremely professional, Jodi is warm, kind, and caring. She truly puts her heart and soul into making your wedding day special. Our friends and family also loved Jodi and we received so many compliments about her from our guests. We could not have asked for a better officiant! Cheers!

Pop Wed Co is the best! Maggie is a phenomenal photographer and Stephen is a great officiant. We…read moreloved working with them, and they made our tiny wedding dreams come true. We had SO MUCH FUN on our wedding day, thanks to them, and experienced zero stress. They're a blast to work with, and everyone who's seen our pictures and heard about our "pop-up wedding" has been impressed and enthralled with the whole concept. I'm so glad I read about it, because it really is an innovative compromise between the big traditional wedding and the courthouse elopement. We knew that neither of us wanted the former, but I also knew that aesthetics are important enough to me that I wouldn't have been totally happy with the latter either. A pop-up wedding was perfect for us. Other awesome things: - We got our wedding pictures the next night! It was crazy, and such a nice surprise! Usually people wait weeks for those. - My husband and I are not photogenic. We're just not. But you would never guess that from our wedding photos. Maggie had a way of bringing out the best in us. We were so comfortable and giddily happy and stress free, that--not trying to sound vain here! it's a testament to her photography skills!--we look amazing in those photos. - The cake they provide is phenomenal. I didn't care about cake at all, but this was SO GOOD!

Steven was our officiant for our Pi Day wedding hosted at &Pizza (Columbia Heights location) and…read morewas generous and accommodating. He took the time to ensure we knew when, where and how to get the certified copy of a marriage certificate. He also ensured we were able to include little touches like a preferred poem and even came up with a way to include my parents bible verses. You can tell Steven knows just what to do when it comes to keeping a couple calm in an emotionally stressful situation. The ceremony was short, sweet and very meaningful. Rachel did a remarkable job of photographing our special day. She was stealthy good, my husband I both commented "when did she get that shot"? I included a few of my personal favorites from the day.

I dialed the number on Yelp and the officiant seemed nice enough. I did tell her that I was just…read moremaking an inquiry and would contact her if I was interested. I guess I didn't respond in a time that was convenient for her? The messages that followed seemed really pushy and a bit rude. I said that I no longer needed the services and she called me "Stupid." Personally, I had to do what's right for myself and the energy wasn't right so I didn't want to book. It's as simple as that and my decision should have been respected as a customer. Glad I followed my gut because I know officiants can't legally charge more than $50 for the service but this company quoted me $100 for some obscure travel fees. Edit: I added a screen shot of her calling and two angry voicemails later...threatening to sue me if I don't take down my review. Personally, I'm not even mad or upset. I'm happy I didn't book her and I want others to be able to make well-informed decisions based on my truth. That's the beauty of all this. Everyone has their own experience and we are able to talk about it respectfully.

Our wedding was very short notice and was with our immediate family only. We looked around for…read moresomeone to do our ceremony around Old Town Alexandria and came upon Rev. Mavis R. Prince from Wedding Right Now. She was very pleasant to work with and made everything so easy! She has a very warm welcoming attitude and she's very sweet. I would highly recommend her if anyone is looking to hire a celebrant for their wedding/ceremony.
