Price transparency isn’t about justifying what you charge.

It’s about helping people know whether you’re the right fit before they ever inquire.

Think about buying a car. You probably know whether you’re shopping for a Honda or a Porsche before you walk into the dealership. Neither is inherently the right choice. They’re different products, at different price points, for different buyers.

Wedding entertainment is no different.

The Bow Tied DJ starts at $4,000.
The Bow Tied Band starts at $12,000.

I’d rather tell you that upfront than make you fill out a form, schedule a call, and sit through a sales pitch just to discover we weren’t in the same ballpark.

Transparency respects everyone’s time.

And when the price makes sense, we can spend our conversation talking about something much more important:

Are we the right vibe for each other?

December celebrations are just around the corner... 🎉

Before this year's holiday parties begin, here's a look back at one of our favorite corporate celebrations with The Bow Tied DJ 🎶 from last season in Atlanta.

Whether it's a holiday party, awards gala, or corporate celebration, our goal is always the same: create an experience that brings people together and gives them something to remember.

If your end-of-year event is still in the planning stages, now is the perfect time to start the conversation.

We had an incredible time with Brewer's Ball RVA this year!

Bringing together some of Virginia's best breweries, wineries, restaurants, sponsors, and supporters, this year's RVA Finest & Brewer's Ball campaign raised nearly $400k in support of the mission of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Events like these are a reminder of what can happen when a community comes together around a great cause.

A special thank you to some of the incredible event partners who helped bring the evening to life:

Oh hey gang 👋 I've been seeing some new faces tap the follow button, so I figured it was time for a little reintro.

Beyond the music, I’m all about community. That’s why I’m a proud co-founder of , where wedding professionals across Virginia can connect, learn, and collaborate with wedding pros nationwide. The best celebrations happen with great collaboration.

When we moved back to Richmond from Atlanta last summer, I knew I wanted to bring with me an organization that helped me elevate my craft and strengthen collaborative relationships.

So we called my friend and asked if she wanted to help bring a WIPA chapter to Virginia. In just 6 short weeks, we pulled together a powerhouse team of 12 amazing individuals, put together a presentation for the National Board, and gathered interest from over 130 wedding professionals across the state.

The hard work has officially paid off and I'm excited to share that has officially launched. We are excited to bring together folks from across the Commonwealth, from Charlottesville to Hampton Roads, Roanoke to Alexandria, we promise to build a community for all Virginia Wedding Professionals.
