Nautical Bat Mitzvah for Carlin

Carlin and her family celebrated her bat mitzvah with a sweet and simple buffet-style luncheon at the waterfront Annapolis Maritime Museum.  They wanted a laid-back nautical feel that would allow parents + family members to mingle and nosh while the kids played games (instead of a formal sit down meal.)

Bottle dancers crashed the party, taking guests by surprise and providing lots of entertainment.  They carried Carlin in and then performed different skits and dances which ended with leading everyone in the hora.

Jamie + Bill: Organic Elegance at The Four Seasons

Jamie and Bill had what I like to call a marathon wedding - they contacted me in November and wanted to get married in February.  The only thing they had booked was the venue - the chic new Four Seasons Hotel in Baltimore.  They hired us for the whole shebang...planned to perfection in 3 months for 250 guests.  Jamie was the ideal bride - so calm, cool and collected.  Every time I tried to give her options she'd say "Julie, that's why I hired you - I trust you!  Whatever you think."  Jamie is beautiful inside and out - her smile is infectious...she was the girl in high school that was friends with everyone, super athletic and gorgeous au naturale.   Jamie and Bill both worked at Under Armour - she was a sports marketing manager and Bill had ties to Under Armour since it's inital conception in his college days.  Jamie had moved to Baltimore to be with Bill, from her native Colorado.  The idea behind the vibe of the wedding was to blend her roots with her new home.  Enjoy!
