Amazing experience with Lotus Production.It is such a pleasure to have Lotus Production for best services who also provided the catering for our facility. The food was superb & excellent and also everyone was happy with the catering service. Thanks you for your service.

I recently hired Lotus Production to film a video for my wedding. Lotus Production uses a creative, fun style that incorporates short clips throughout the day, instead of playing a long, home-video type of recording that usually gets boring quickly. The video is more of a "highlights" of the best moments of the day. Sean worked with my husband and I to make sure all of our favorite parts of the day were included. Sean also took our engagement photos. He is a true photographer and worked with the natural lighting to create some great shots that we are happy to have even past the time our wedding photos look dated.

If you're reading this and wondering WHY I gave 5 Stars to Lotus Production, let me share with you my reasons. I am the type of person that just goes with the flow and let things just happen. OBVIOUSLY with my Wedding, that didn't happen so much because my Wife wanted me to get more involved!! I met with Shawn the owner of the Lotus production after my wife visited him for a consultation. My wife wanted to get my opinion and see what do I think about him and Lotus production in general. After asking him so many questions about the different aspects of our wedding, I realized that he is very honest and knows his stuff very well. It wasn't so easy for me to let ONE company to be in-charge of my whole wedding at first but I am so grateful for taking that chance. Lotus Production did a PHENOMENAL JOB helping my wife and I feel relaxed all throughout the Wedding process and took care of everything from A to Z . We hired Lotus Production for Catering, photography, videography, floral, uplighting, DJ and drapery and since we hired them for more than 5 services, Shawn provided us with a COMPLIMENTARY wedding planner(Ms.Mariam) for our wedding day. I literally couldn't stop seeing her name and my wife's name throughout the emails being sent back and forth. I am very grateful for the comfort I felt throughout the Wedding Planning process and on the day of the Wedding. No joke, I decided to go to my Wedding Venue on the day of my Wedding and when I took a peek at what Lotus Production staff did to the venue, I was SHOCKED!!! I was like "WHAT THE HECK?" is this Wedding truly for me and my Wife?! the venue looked AMAZING as if it was for a celebrity!!! I am so glad and happy my Wife and I consulted with Lotus Production because everything went so smooth, efficient, and perfect! Thank you Shawn and the whole Lotus production family!!! We are so happy because of your help and it is our pleasure to share our honest experiences with everyone.

We had Lotus production to do our whole wedding planning. Really the quality of the work surpassed our expectations and they did a fabulous job. With no exception always with highest standards, ethics and patiently our calls and inquiries were returned and lovingly our stress was tolerated. Thank you for the Job well done in or big day with highest quality.

I'm not sure where to begin on explaining the outstanding service Shamim and his staff at Lotus Productions provided my husband and I on our special day! Our wedding was in June 2013 and I don’t think Shamim could have made it any more perfect if he tried. He held my hand every step of the way from picking color schemes, center pieces, flowers, decorations, engagement photos, videography, etc. More importantly, because we lived near the city and wanted a beach wedding, he helped us to find the PERFECT venue in DE at Salero on the Beach! When I was having a bridal-breakdown moment, he always talked me through my anxiety and nerves. Whenever I was trying to find a way to cut costs or be more efficient with my planning and time, Shamim always had a perfect answer and beautiful compromise for me. He and his staff were always professional, friendly, and punctual. He helped my husband and I to have our perfect day WITHIN our budget! If you’re looking for a staff who can do it all and make you feel like you’re working with family at the same time, Shamim and the Lotus Production staff is your company!

Do you dream to be Cinderella and Prince Charming on your wedding day? Do you wish to have a Fairytale wedding from the smallest to the largest detail? Don’t look further… Lotus Production will surely impress you at making your wishes come true!!! I hired Lotus Production for most of the services needed for my wedding, which took place at the Gaylord National Harbor. Since day one, Shamim was very well informed, perceptive and knowledgeable of every detail associated with my Big Day! He was very professional and extremely prompt on communicating with me. He understood my vision even when it was so difficult for me to explain it. He also made sure every small detail I wished for came true, just to make sure I am happy. Lotus Production truly takes pride in everything that they do!! I can’t find enough words to express the AMAZING job they produced at my wedding. The ceremony was absolutely GORGEOUS.. The flowers, the columns, the red carpet, the organization… Every small detail was just PERFECT! Yet, the biggest surprise was the reception. It was just beyond ASTONISHING!!! I was truly DAZZLED the minute I walked into that ballroom. He truly transformed the place and made us feel like we are somewhere out of this world!!! The ballroom I choose to do my wedding in was a true challenge, Shamim and his staff spent over 16 straight hours working on creating a Wonder Land, as my sister described it!!!! The drapery was just so ELEGANT and BEAUTIFUL, the lights we so GRACEFUL and RELAXING, the centerpieces were just… STUNNING… the Linens, the chairs, the organization.. Everything was just IMPRESSIVE!!! Lotus Production was present everywhere capturing every moment of my BIG DAY step by step, from the smallest detail to the BIG MOMENTS!! Charbel and I had the VIP treatment of celebrities… Until today, my guests are still talking about the wedding, and how being there made them feel like they were in Hollywood!! The photographers and videographers were everywhere trying to capture every moment for us to remember for a lifetime!!!! Lotus Production team went above and beyond to making my vision a reality.. The outcome was even better than what Charbel and I had wished for. Thank you LOTUS PRODUCTION and your staff for an OUTSTANDING MAGICAL DAY!!! Special thanks to SHAMIM for putting all your effort to making our day a TRUE FAIRYTALE that will be remembered and talked about for years to come!!! All the best, Lela & Charbel

My husband and I can't thank Shawn enough for helping to make our wedding day perfect! We had a pretty long engagement and we were in contact with Shawn from the very beginning. He helped to keep us organized with every detail. We thoroughly enjoyed the planning process because of him. When our wedding day finally came, everyone around me kept commenting on how calm I was. That's because I had full trust in Shawn to execute all of the details. Since our wedding was in a different state, we were a bit worried about how Shawn can travel and still organize every details of wedding. Not only did he execute, he went above and beyond our expectations! Shawn is worth every single penny and will make your planning process so much easier.

From the first phone call to the last minute (as we were gathering our personal items to leave the venue) of my daughter's wedding on October 22nd 2017,... I received amazing support and a kind sincere care from Shamim. My experience with the entire team at Lotus Production ( specifically with Shamim) can be recapped with utmost professionalism, excellence in service, creativity in making things happen,....and a "CAN DO" attitude every step of the way. Calling him was the best thing I did for my daughter's wedding. Hands down :) Shamim listened to me and achieved results well beyond my expectations. I have had so many phone calls from my friends exclaiming that our celebration was the most beautiful wedding they have ever attended. Shamim's attention to details and always going above and beyond the expected range of possibilities will forever be appreciated by me. I am truly grateful to Lotus production for making my daughter's wedding truly a special day. Thank you Shamim.

I cant express how thrilled i was with Sean and the entire Lotus team! They planned my engagement party in october and were nothing but amazing! They were so kind and attentive and understanding along the way. They made me feel like family and cared about my event as much as I did. I would recommend them to anyone and would work with them again in a heartbeat! Cant express enough how grateful i am to Lotus Productions for making my dream engagement party a reality!

This company is phenomenal! They made all our dreams come true! I want to give a special shout out to Shamim! He was a wonderful wedding planner. This is a great company because they literally do the entire wedding; all the vendors are under one company. So you don't have to run around meeting with different vendors when they organize the entirety of the wedding. They did everything from the catering, centerpieces, videography, uplighting, photography, DJ, Flowers, bouquets, to the boutonnieres! Shamim is very passionate about what he does and continued to go above and beyond for me! Following my wedding, guests made comments to me such as, "what an epic wedding!" "best wedding I've ever been to!" "wow those centerpieces are magnificent" I would never go with any other vendor. He is the best wedding planner I know!

Just got back our wedding video and photo shoot session and we couldn't be happier. Start to finish, everyone was professional, punctual, and talented. During our wedding Shamim coordinated 3 simultaneous videographers and put together some great footage. During our photo session, he was very professional and very good at directing us in different poses that looked natural, occasionally showing us some of the shots to demonstrate how we looked and how to adjust ourselves to improve the shots. Once we were done we went through the photos with him and selected which ones we liked and he photoshopped one of the pictures for us to demonstrate his work and make sure we liked how they looked. This guy is definitely customer orientated and he is looking out for his customers, and in that regards we were fortunate because that is exactly who wanted to work with.

Lotus Production was amazing. I had my wedding pictures done by them as well as my Iranian "sofreh" (which is a wedding setup) and everything was perfect. It was better than I could have imagined. On top of their excellent work, they are genuinely great people and this is extremely important on your big day! I recommend their services for everyone! The pictures turned out incredible and many people have told me that they have never seen such great pictures.. as well as such a beautiful album book. Go with them!!!! Trust me!!

Feven Ghebru

Picking the right photographer/ video grapher is one of the most important decision you will ever make when planing a wedding. Which is why we feel so fortunate to have had Shawn on our special days ( we had a two day weeding ) Shawn and his team did an amazing job with our wedding highlight video/ pictures, it’s has been a year since we got married and I still can’t stop watching it.

Carla Elliott

I would highly recommend Lotus Production! We used the lighting services for a large private party and it turned out beautifully! Shawn was so responsive and helpful, and VERY accommodating. We could not have asked for a better experience. We will definitely keep Lotus Production's services in mind for the future.

Lotus Production provided the services and decorations for my first firefighter's ball. When I walked into our fire station's bingo hall, I could not recognize it. The hall was transformed into a beautiful ballroom with elegant drapes lining the walls and decorations hanging from the ceiling. The tables were covered with fancy tablecloths and copper place settings. This event was a magical evening that we could celebrate in style. I look forward to any event we may have with Lotus Production in the future.

What can I say about these guys... they are awesome. We found them after our initial contractor, whose name I will not mention here, disappointed us. And although we were penalized by our old contractor for canceling our contract, I am glad we made the switch. Shawn worked with us every step of the way to bring my wife's vision to life. Most vendors tell you about the quality of their service, but these guys are true to their words. Although we had paid for 8 hours of service, they arrived and stayed way longer than 8 hours, working till our last guest left. I could go on about these guys... but I will say this; they are AWESOME!

Yassi Kay

Shamim and his team are exceptional! They truly went above and beyond my expectations and delivered nothing short of perfect. We had a short timeline, tight budget, and particular requests made for the Big Day...they handled all challenges effortlessly. Hands down, the best event planning team in the Metro DC area.

My Husband and I just got married on August 20th and used Lotus production for our catering, decor including uplighting and draping, photography, videography, and florals. Shawn and his team are some of the most fantastic people to work with. From day 1 we set a vision and he made it come true PLUS more! The uplighting he does is perfect and his centerpieces will wow you and your guests. He puts so much effort into everything and will always be sure you have exactly what you've asked for. Our photographers were Naz and David, super detail oriented and open to many ideas. The videographers Daniel, Steve, Saeed, and Yuriy stopped at nothing to make sure they got the perfect shots including candids and were always by our side. I highly recommend Lotus productions to anyone having a wedding!! Throughout the entire planning process he helps with all of the details, questions, and is so easily accessible at all times. His floral arrangements are superb and his videography and photography team are out of this WORLD. Trust and know that if you choose Lotus Productions for your wedding services, you are getting FAR more value of product than what you've paid for. Many of our guests were blown away at the overall WOW factor his weddings exude. There is no other place in the DC/MD/VA area where you'll have someone who truly loves what he does AND isn't looking to break your bank for your "celebrity-esque" wedding. What I love the most is that through every step of the way, he took the time to contact me to verify and re-verify selections for florals and decor. Him and the lotus team are very detail oriented and will make your wedding day the most cherished day of your life!!

Shamim of Lotus Productions was extremely instrumental in creating my daughter's dream wedding! Everything she wanted - Shamim could do. Pipe-and-draping the entire ballroom; beautiful uplighting; incredible high-profile flower arrangements; beautiful chivari chairs; exquisite table linens; great DJ with percussion and much more! He stayed the entire night to make sure everything went as we has planned. I felt as though he was my personal event planner and had known me for years. His suggestions and recommendations were spot on! He got to know us and just knew what we would like, what we would want ... he thought of everything and left nothing out. It was easy for me to put my trust in Shamim and Lotus Productions but the best part was my daughter - THE BRIDE - said on more than one occassion "Shamim - just do what you think is best; I trust you and your judgment.!" How many brides would say that? How many brides would feel that comfortable with a production company to let them just run with it! You can't go wrong with Shamin and Lotus Productions. I have no doubt that any event I have in the future that requires a production company's touch I will most defiitely contact Lotus Productions!

Shawn is professional !

We hired Lotus to set up piping and draping for our wedding ceremony and were certainly a small customer for them. You wouldn't know it with the excellent customer service they provided. Jinna was in constant contact, on top of everything and helped us make the right decisions. Would recommend to anyone!

Sara Rajaee

Shamim and Lotus Productions were an absolute dream to work with. The wedding would not have been possible without Lotus Productions. They are a team of organized, polite, professional, kind, persons and there were there to do anything and everything necessary to ensure the wedding ran smoothly. Everyone was so impressed with the staff and decor. I personally was grateful to see Shamim there all night ensuring things ran smoothly. He takes great pride in his work and is it very evident. I cannot speak highly enough of Shamim and the Lotus Productions team.

Clarisse Abramidis

My husband and I went to Lotus Productions and talked with Shawn after going to a number of other vendors for flower and draping services for my daughter's wedding. All the quotes we received were high and no one was willing to work with us. Shawn and his group were amazing. He worked with us to get to an acceptable price range by talking with my daughter and convincing her to drape the ceremony walls but not to drape the ceiling and instead have a canopy built for the ceremony. He even came to our house to speak with my daughter and her fiancé. Then, he designed lovely bouquets for the entire bridal party, threw in boutonnières for the guys for free, and provided the most amazing elegant floral arrangements for the reception. Shawn and his team were quick, efficient, flexible and a joy to work with. If I had known about them earlier in the wedding planning process, I would have used their services for everything. I highly recommend them for your wedding.

Cynthia Yang

Shawn and his team are simply wonderful. When it comes to "Dreamed-of-Wedding", I'm a super picky bride but Shawn was able to handle every little detail of my requirements - from planning and organizing all the way through DJ playing the last song at my wedding. Shawn as an owner of business is straight forward, highly responsible and very easy to work with. He continues to provide us with some of the greatest options to help achieve the maximum quality of what we could afford, and the results are just stunning. We are so glad that we have found him and we would highly recommend Lotus Production to couples who plan to have the best weddings in DC/MD/VA area because Shawn and the crew will bring you all that bling-bling and sparkling moments you've wished for.

TJ Davis

My wife and I hired Lotus Productions (and its owner Shamim) to plan our wedding. I was very pleased with the outcome. Shamim found us a great location, devised an excellent menu, and found a great DJ. He personally oversaw the photography and videography, and his staff did a great job in capturing our wedding day.

Blake Payne

All I can say is wow! They did a phenominal job at our banquet. Transforming our bingo hall into a pretty amazing space. Had no idea the room could look that good! The banquet is the one time of year our members are able to get together for a relaxing evening outside of the stress that makes up the fire service. Lotus Production really came through to make this a great evening. Looking forward to working with them in the future. -Blake Payne Fire Chief/NREMT-P

My experience with Lotus was AMAZING. If I want to put it in a few words, Shamim made my $$$$ Pinterest-worthy vision happen on my $$ average budget all the while being far more of a friend than a 'vendor'! I had food, photo, video, and lighting and he also delivered so many extras for me. I'll try to get into as much as the word limit allows here: FOOD- Food was just amazing- I received so many complements on it. Just before the wedding, I decided the dessert I had contracted was not enough and I wanted a full dessert table with different items in little shooters; I don't know how in the world but he made that happen for me in such a short notice, AND AT NO EXTRA COST! FLOWERS/DECOR- Shamim made me centerpieces and bouquets that were huge, gorgeous, and far beyond what I had hoped or technically 'paid for' per contract. He also threw in corsages for the moms and all the boutonnieres for the groomsmen! Most importantly, I wanted these specific crystal candelabras for my long tables and he literally bought them OUT OF HIS POCKET (these were not cheap!) to bring my vision to life!!! he also bought new centerpiece bases because I didn't like the ones he had in stock, and through in extra up lighting!! the space really looked out of this world. PHOTO/ VIDEO - I haven't had my video back yet but I got a sample of my pix and ALL my friends have commented about how good they turned out! Shamim also gave me extra an videographer at no additional cost! EXTRAS: I wanted a personalized oversized frame instead of an arbor, and he had this made and delivered for me only at cost of material!! AND he SURPRISED ME! with a gorgeous backdrop FULL of flower designs! AMAZING!! & must have cost $$$$!! Beyond all this, Shamim was BEYOND SUPPORTIVE through the whole process, being there at any hour of day OR NIGHT! for anything, offering FAR more than was his job. He's in it with his WHOLE heart and WON'T SETTLE for less than your dream. I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH Shamim & the Lotus team!!

We couldn’t have found a better team than Lotus Production, they really turned our dream wedding into a reality! Everything was stunning and beautiful, and it was more than we ever imagined! The entire team was phenomenal, from the photographers to the production staff, and last but not least, our dear friend, Shamim. Shamim was always there for us, from checking out different venues, to finding the perfect flowers, lighting, and centerpieces, and even just being there with emotional support. In the middle of the planning process, my husband’s medical condition got worse, which almost postponed the wedding. Shamim was so accommodating, and ensured that we would have everything taken care of, no matter what the circumstances would be. Not only did he provide the highest level of professionalism, he truly went above and beyond for us. He is a genuinely kind and caring individual, and he was so much more than just a wedding planner. Our wedding day finally came, and everything was beyond perfect. We laughed and cried, and everyone said it was one of the best weddings that they’ve ever experienced. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, we love you Lotus Production!!! - The Lechners :)

Lotus Production is the best. They did everything at our wedding, and everything was great. Our wedding was perfect and we couldn't be happier. Shamim took every task very personal and was on top of everything that day. He worked very hard to made this day a memorable one for us. Thank you Shamim you are the best. :-)

I had to update my review after my wedding this friday. Shamim and his team are beyond words. He has become more like a friend to us and a brother than a wedding service company. He kept in touch constantly to make sure everything was perfect and the way i wanted. He puts his heart into the job he does and truly wants to make sure it is perfect. With some companies, money talks; but with lotus and shamim, it really isn't just about how much they can charge but truly about making their clients happy. The decor was breathtakingly beautiful and it was far more beautiful than I could have imagined. I am OBSESSED with my bouquet - still sitting in my living room lol He went above and beyond and gave me more than what i asked. If i could do it again i would pick them over and over. Thank you guys so much for making my wedding a dream come true. I love the lotus team! You guys made my ideas and thoughts into a far bigger reality than I imagined!

Everything we asked for and more!! I was in a real bind – I had to find a photographer for my brother’s wedding in a short period of time. I searched for photographers with high ratings, and after spending half my morning talking to them and feeling disappointed, Lotus productions was next on my list of high rated photographers to contact. From the first couple of minutes speaking to Shawn at Lotus Productions, he left me with a confidence that I knew we were in good hands and that he would make sure all went well. He stood out from the rest – he didn’t have a lot of conditions and rules like the other photographers. He was generous with his time and the offerings for the price we paid. He was true to his word - he delivered a memorable experience and produced a quality production for my brother’s wedding. I highly recommend Lotus Productions!!

Juliana Alharahsheh

Hands down the BEST event services company out there. Sean and his team exceeded my expectations in quality, commitment, communication and service. I owe my entire wedding to his team, from the flowers to the lighting. I plan on referring all of my friends to Lotus.
