Awarded Best of Zola
I went into wedding planning with the full expectation to plan and do everything on my own. However when we went into securing our venue they were requiring a day of coordinator at the very least (which is a blessing looking back) so I went on the search for one. I came across Brittney (forever moments) on instagram and reached out to see if she would be available to talk and potentially become our planner. From our first convo she was nothing but kind/caring and so helpful. You can tell she has nothing but passion for what she does. She was there for any questions/recommendations that we had and even had sent us an alternative napkin setting that she had come across which turned out PERFECT! Not to mention everything else turning out perfect. She helped give us the magical winter wedding of our dreams. As we were getting closer the stress/anxiety was inevitable but the continued help and support from Brittney was amazing. I couldn’t recommend forever moments enough and really don’t know what I would have done if we didn’t have them and could not have imagined having tried to go thru this without her help. We cannot wait to see her work her magic for our friends wedding next year. If you are contemplating getting a planner JUST DO IT. You will not regret it and will be in good hands with Forever Moments. With love, the Thibeaults

Cassidy and her team made our day seamless and as stress free as a wedding could ever be. Before any problem could come up, she had it handled.

Lilo Weddings

5.0

Broadlands, VA
  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $85

My name is Jennette and I would love to be a part of your special day! I got into wedding coordinating on accident! One random day a few years ago, one of my friends asked if I would assist her in a few of her weddings. From that day on, I have been working weddings and my interest in them grew! My company is named after my beloved doggie, Lilo. She is a boxer mix hound, and she is surely a sassy one! She is lively, fierce and isn't afraid to have a good time. My vision for Lilo Weddings is to deliver a stress free and memorable event while working side by side with amazing vendors on the couple's wedding day!

If you are planning a wedding do yourself a favor and hire Lilo Weddings! From the very first interaction, Jennette was a calming and organized presence. She took her time to understand our wants and needs from the overall vision to the smallest detail. Some highlights to point out: Communication and organization- Jennette created a detailed timeline and Google sheet to keep track of everything! It was easy to change/update details at any given moment. I reached out to her via email, text, and calls and she was responsive within a matter of minutes. We scheduled multiple video calls throughout the process and her guidance was extremely helpful. She also brought in an assistant on the wedding day since our guest count was quite large. Vendor management- Jennette provided a list of vendors with some offering special pricing. After selecting our vendors, she expertly coordinated communication between them and gave them all necessary information. She did the bulk of the heavy lifting here allowing me to focus on other details. She also passed out gratuity at the end of the night, giving us more time to party with our guests. Collection rental- Who wants to shop for every piece of decor?? I sure didn't and I couldn't be happier that Jenetter offered this service. She has a rental collection consisting of arches, signs, tabletop decor, candles, florals, and so much more! We pretty much used everything she had and it came together beautifully. This one-stop-shop means Jennette is overseeing every aspect of the day and I loved her streamlined process. Positive energy- Jennette's positive and upbeat personality made the entire planning process enjoyable. She went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect. Thank you Jennette at Lilo Weddings!

Tilly & Teal Weddings And Events

5.0

Manassas, VA
  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $2,500

Can I let you in on a secret? The journey to the aisle isn't about figuring out logistics or picking out designs. I know that's the opposite of what you'd think a wedding planner would say, but it's true! This time should be focused on experiencing new adventures, learning new communications skills, and celebrating your two families coming together. Your engagement should be focused on loving one another in ways that allow you to feel both heard and loved because at the end of this journey is the start of another. Stress, Frustration, and Confusion? They don't belong here.

I continue to be amazed at the professionalism and thoroughness of Tilly and Teal! I believe that vendor to vendor interactions can mean a lot when it comes to recommendations, and I can't speak more highly of this team. Katie is on top of everything that happens within her team, and on wedding days. From a vendors standpoint, she's extremely easy to work with, and very considerate of what is needed from each vendor. As a photographer, communication and flexibility is key in making a wedding day run smoothly, and Katie, along with her whole team, take everything into consideration and work to make everything as easy as possible for everyone. I also love how intentional and thoughtful with her client's designs she is - she makes everything 100% about her clients! I will forever love working with Tilly and Teal and hope to work with them more in the future! 10/10 highly recommend.

Awarded Best of Zola
I was referred to TCC by a friend of mine and hiring a coordinator was the best decision I have made in my life (outside of saying "yes" to my husbands proposal). I generally am a super organized and capable person who plans events/convening's in DC but a wedding is a whole different beast and I wouldn't have been able to do it without Ja'el's help! We actually decided to have a destination wedding in Mexico and this was TCC's first destination wedding overall but I couldn't tell! Ja'el was very knowledgable about the process and really made sure I stuck to the timeline that I created (and she corrected) and keep me feeling positive about the whole experience. During the actual wedding day I didn't have to worry about ANYTHING. I could not imagine how different my views on my wedding would be if I didn't have her working with the on-site coordinator to make sure things were in the correct place at the correct time, troubleshooting things, etc. I will also say that Ja'el is truly a JOY to work with. She is so funny and calming - I was dreading the process and she made it so much better. Ja'el, don't get mad that I am saying this story but it still makes me laugh: While I was getting ready in the suite with my bridesmaids, Ja'el popped in to make sure we had our breakfast and adequate amounts of champagne. She was on her iPad in full wedding planner mode and I started to ask her some dumb question (truly, just unnecessary nervous-bride questions). She just stared at me and said "aren't you supposed to be sitting down and drinking champagne" and I was realized that she was right! So I sat and stopped worrying about everything! And everything was PERFECT! I'm actually very sad that I won't be able to talk to Ja'el every week now since I don't plan on having another wedding anytime soon. If you are considering hiring a planner, hire her and her team! Truly the best investment and addition to our budget!

Marta was phenomenal to work with. Hiring All in the Details was one of the best choices I made for our wedding—hands down. Marta is so on top of things but has a very calming presence that was so great in the midst of planning anxiety. She put the decor together perfectly and made our vision come to life better than we imagined. Our wedding was at a family home and Marta was invaluable helping us figure out how to make it work for a wedding. Our families were blown away by how wonderful she was. From the big picture items like layout to the small things like making us vinyl decals for the corn hole boards when our Etsy order was lost in the mail, Marta was on top of it. I cannot recommend working with her enough and we will certainly use her for any family events or showers we host. Thank you for making our day magical!

Lissa makes sure that you and your wedding party have to “work” your event as little as possible, if at all. She does a great job making sure everything runs smoothly so you can focus on having a blast. We chose the full planning package and was worth every cent. Even though our wedding got rescheduled, Lissa was on it and made sure all vendors and contracts got transitioned smoothly to the new date. It would have been so overwhelming without her; it would have been a very stressful wedding if she and her team were not there! We knew very little about the nuances of wedding planning going in, we definitely needed a lot of hand-holding to figure out what was possible, what we wanted, and what we needed. Lissa did a wonderful job making sure we knew what options were available and what was best for our needs.

Awarded Best of Zola
We recently worked with Greta and it was an AMAZING experience. As wedding vendors we need to work in perfect harmony with wedding planners to get all the details and most updated wedding information. Our coverage depends on a great coordination to be successful and Greta and her team made all this process smooth and incredibly easy to work with. As wedding photographers and videographers we work before, during and after the event and exchange lots of information with wedding planners. Having Greta coordinating the event we worked at together a few weeks ago was essential for the client's happiness. We HIGHLY recommend her and can't wait to work together again.

We hired Modern Social for our wedding reception and it was the best decision ever. We had so much fun and did not have to worry about anything because they had it handled.

Carmen and her team made wedding planning easy and enjoyable. From the beginning, Carmen worked with us to develop an aesthetic that was elegant and personal to us. If we had a specific vision for something, she showed us how to execute that vision within our budget. If we weren’t sure what we wanted, Carmen presented us with different design options to help us figure out what we liked. She had great ideas, and we trusted her judgment completely. In choosing vendors, Carmen presented us with various options within our budget and gave thoughtful notes and recommendations. If we wanted to consider vendors outside our planned budget, Carmen was always ready to discuss additional options as well as ways to offset additional costs if we decided to spend more in one category. We trusted Carmen’s recommendations completely, and she never led us astray. Once we chose vendors, Carmen made sure our contracts addressed all of our needs and helped us understand industry standards and expectations. As we got closer to the wedding, Carmen took full responsibility for communications with vendors and even fielded questions from our family and wedding party in the lead up to the big day. This was a lifesaver and allowed us to focus on the important things. On the wedding day, Carmen and her team ensured everything ran perfectly. Someone from Carmen’s team was always nearby if I needed something--but I didn’t because it was all so well planned! Between the ceremony and reception, Carmen’s team set aside two of every appetizer along with two of our signature cocktails to ensure we got to try everything. When we arrived at the reception, everything looked beautiful. The set up and take down happened so seamlessly we weren’t even aware of it, and anything we were taking home was packed up and placed in our bridal suite waiting for us at the end of the night. It really was our perfect wedding. My husband and I, along our families, will always be grateful to Evermore Occasions for giving us the celebration of our dreams!

Had the best day and wedding ever because of Emmy Jane Events / Emily. Working with her was so easy, pleasant, stress-free and fun! I love her attention to detail and careful consideration of things. She has a great eye for design and is intuitively creative. I gave her an overall idea/aesthetic of my design and she took over. My favorite moment was when she said “do you trust me on this (pertaining to the arch design)?” And I said the easiest yes! Boy did she deliver and she did it so darn well! I can’t recommend her enough for wedding coordination/planning. There were some issues with the heating of my wedding and Emily took care of everything and I only found out at the end when it was all taken care of. Seriously, she was so thoughtful and took it to heart that she wanted my husband and I to have a stress-free wedding. She was our perfect right hand for our perfect day.

Kolena & her team at Blue Sapphire Events are STELLAR. My husband and I have hectic jobs and I am an evening student which meant we needed all the help we could get to plan our wedding! In stepped Kolena, who helped us design, plan, and execute the most perfect day. We wanted to put up a sailcloth tent and hold our entire event outside at a family member's home. That involved bringing in EVERYTHING - the tents, the tables & chairs, the bars, the plates & glassware, the restroom trailers! and so much more. Kolena managed everything for us - from vendor sourcing to rental coordination to the burdensome permitting process for the tent. She was onsite for every site visit, the tent/rental setup, the rehearsal, and the day itself. From the very beginning, Kolena was capable, calm, and so thoughtful. We were married in May but I don't like pinks & pastels (your traditional spring wedding palettes). Without missing a beat, Kolena designed a gorgeous, lush green & white palette with black accents. She listens and really understands her clients -- it felt so US. Because our event was at a private property, we couldn't accommodate parking for our guests. I was particularly worried about ensuring the shuttles were reliable & ready for our guests. Kolena handled the entire process - from sourcing different quotes through the contract process and on the day-of to make sure everything went smoothly. On the day of our wedding, Kolena seamlessly helmed a vendor team of close to 25 people. She brilliantly suggested we put ponchos on guest chairs, in case it started to rain during our ceremony (it did) and transitioned our cocktail hour from outdoors to under the reception tent at lightning speed. As you can see, I have endless good things to say about Kolena & her team at Blue Sapphire Events. She works harder than almost anyone I've met, she's creative, she truly cares about every one of her clients, and I'm so, so grateful that she lent us her talents to make our wedding day perfect!

Michelle used her experience to help us anticipate and prepare for every aspect of our wedding, which is exactly what we needed. Most of all, she cared deeply about getting to know us and our vision for the day so she could work on executing that vision while we enjoyed the day. I planned most of our wedding, so I was initially on the fence if I should reserve a day-of-coordinator or not, since our venue had a catering manger; but looking back, I would absolutely urge every couple to DO IT. After meeting Michelle and having a wedding that went so perfectly, I really see this as an investment in the time & energy you put into the planning process. Knowing that Michelle understood exactly how I wanted things to go and I could trust her to make that happen allowed me to full be in the moment during our wedding and enjoy every single minute of the day. Michelle's rates are incredibly reasonable for the level of service and peace of mind she brings. I am so grateful for Michelle's time, care, and attention that helped make the day so special for us and allowed our friends and family (and us!) to enjoy every single minute.

We had a great feeling about Andrea from the time we first met over Zoom, and our instincts were absolutely correct. She is so warm, in control, and knowledgeable -- our experience planning our wedding could not have been smoother or more pleasant. We gave her our budget number, and she immediately reassured us that she could deliver the wedding of our dreams... and she did. The network of vendors she connected us with were all fantastic, and her calm demeanor kept us at ease and was also a huge help in soothing our parents' anxiety throughout the process. We are elated that we had the chance to work with and get to know her. Andrea is absolutely fantastic and we were trying to make a newly engaged cousin hire her during our own wedding! She was just that good.

Anna was an amazing day of coordinator to work with! My 4 planning meetings were so helpful and she masterfully wrangled our 2 crazy families for the rehearsal. I am SO glad we hired her for the rehearsal as well because our ceremony would have been hectic not having a plan. The day of, I was able to text her and she would immediately take care of whatever was asked. Along with 2 helpers I provided, she brought my vision for the day to life, setting up all the decor. She was so cheerful, professional and pleasant to work with. I recommend her to anyone and everyone who asks about wedding planners/coordinators. Thank you Anna for helping make our day perfect!

In 4 days we had a beautiful venue and excellent menu (Old Ebbitt Grill) while staying within our budget. She was a real life saver and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone and hope to have an occasion to utilize her tremendous skills in the future.

We are a team of creative professionals who specialize in coordination, design and planning. We offer full, partial or month of wedding planning and design packages. We also do bridal showers, baby showers, birthdays, retirement or engagement parties. Our design team provides full and partial venue design and execution.

Create You Events was the reason why our dream wedding became a reality!! My husband and I consider ourselves to be good planners, and like other couples, we thought we could make do without a wedding planner. We were only looking for a day-of coordinator when we reached out to Create You Events. We interviewed Vicky and realized the value she could provide us throughout the planning process. We quickly changed our stance and hired her as both our day-of coordinator and wedding planner. This was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. The amount of time and mental energy saved was beyond worth it. Vicky and her team's guidance kept us on schedule and organized during our nine-month timeline. Vicky was able to handle all obstacles in stride. No challenge was ever too big for her, and that calmed many of our nerves. What sets Vicky and her team apart is their ability to complement the areas that my husband and I lacked. We were transparent with those aspects which we weren't as prepared for and our budget constraints, and they would always found solutions or presented us with alternatives that met our needs. There were countless times when Vicky would save the day by bringing up things that we wouldn't even consider! She was great with vendor management and helped identify vendors that fit our criteria. In addition to Create You Events' planning and coordination service, we also opted for their decor services. What was the most dreaded part of planning for us was no longer a challenge. Trust me when I say they made all of our worries go away when it came to decor and signage. We were able to provide our vision and they delivered on every little detail. The arrangements and signage fit the elegance of our theme and venue perfectly. It was a huge benefit having a team that already understood our vision and was attentive to every request. Where do I begin for the day-of coordination? Vicky and her team were the calming force to our chaotic day. We wanted to maximize our day, so we planned our timeline down to the minute. From their planning, they set up our day so that we didn't have to make any major decisions. All we had to do was follow the timeline they put together for us. This allowed us to enjoy our day and appreciate the little moments we would have otherwise missed. Even when things that were out of our control went array, Vicky and her team didn't even flinch from the pressure and were quick to find a resolution, having no impact on our day. Simply put, we couldn't have had a perfect day without the involvement from Create You Events. The planning, decor, and coordination was stress free for us and allowed us to allocate our time to other areas that required more of our individual attention. Vicky and her team were incredibly easy to work with and we felt comfortable enough to share all of our circumstances with her. We will always give the highest recommendation to Create You Events to our friends and family for their wedding and/or any major event. We are still left in awe by how they were able to listen to our vision and run with it. We definitely won't miss wedding planning, but will miss our planning calls with Vicky. Just knowing we had the certainty and guidance from her made us feel like everything would be alright. Vicky, can we still have calls with you to help us plan the rest of our life? Hands down the best wedding

I work with clients directly from weeks to several months to help curate, design, execute making their dream come to fruition!

We hired Katrina as our day of wedding coordinator at the recommendation of a family member and she was FANTASTIC! As a Bride, it was truly refreshing to have someone to turn to for everything. Not only did she take care of me, but also my bridal party, vendors, and made sure our wedding program ran on time.

As owner and lead wedding planner, Janice has her hands on every Bellwether wedding. She’s a logistical virtuoso with crazy-high standards. She’s never met a detail she couldn’t wrangle or a problem she couldn’t solve. You can always expect Janice to keep it real — a communication style you’ll be thankful for when dealing with budgets, wedding day mania, and drunk Uncle Ted.

I have had the pleasure of working with Bellwether Events many times. From my 10 years experience of working in the wedding industry, I found that some planners are only good at logistics (timeline, having things in order, managing vendors, etc.), some planners are only good at design and creativity, some are only good at client relations and relationships with the family. Bellweather is excellent at all of these things and I see how she consistently nails every category at every single wedding I have worked with her. If you want your event to shine and to have the absolute best experience from the beginning to end, Bellweather is who you need.

Hey there, I’m Jami Pollnow Heath. I’m a wedding planner living and working in Richmond, Virginia. I'm a Maryland native living Richmond Virginia with my husband in our first home; a big beautiful project in Fulton Hill. In my journey down the aisle I found more than just my future partner, I found what I was meant to do; helping people like you say "I do" too!

We hired Jami for Day of Coordination and received her support over several months, beginning with an hour-long meeting 3 months out! Our wedding was the most incredible day of our lives in big thanks due to Jami’s thoughtful attention to detail, hard work, past wedding experience, and pure kindness! I get emotional thinking about the day and our wonderful experience with Jami! She was truly above and beyond! “Our Curated Design” is the perfect name for her business because she’ll work with you to envision the day you want, going with you through all of your mood boards and ideas so she truly “gets it”! She’ll put what you want into words and writing and then the best part – BRING IT TO LIFE! We wanted whimsical, modern, Wes Anderson vibes, and we more than got them! It was amazing! Going into planning a wedding, I had no idea what a Herculean effort it is to execute one. Even for 80 people, it really is 1,000 details. Jami will make sure to think of every single one. She’ll answer every question you ask and remember the answer when you’ve forgotten it on the big day. She’ll be your biggest cheerleader before, during, and after your wedding. It’s also the little things that Jami thinks of! She had the creative idea to take instax film images throughout our wedding that we’ll now get to cherish forever! We already are! It means so much to us to know that Jami and Will, her husband, had our back throughout our day. We honestly can’t believe how well the day went, but it wasn’t luck or just our planning, it was mostly due to Our Curated Design magic! At the end of the night when we were exhausted (we’d left it all on the dance floor) and we couldn’t help to pack up our decor and things like we wanted to, Jami and Will took care of it with smiles! They were such a calming presence to share the end of our night with. Not to mention, everything got back to our home expertly packed! I would recommend Our Curated Design over and over!

This is a way too late review for a spectacular wedding planner and event designer who brought to life the wedding of my dreams in June 2022! Lauren and her team truly provide a 5-star experience in every way and more. Before I met Lauren, I had a vision for my wedding, but really wasn't sure how to bring it to fruition. I was walking through the "steps" recommended in different timeline sheets, which in itself is very tiring, and starting very big picture. But as anyone who has planned a wedding knows, the details start to become very, very overwhelming - especially when there's a specific look and feel you want for your wedding. Where do you invest your time and money? That's where Lauren was a lifesaver. Some key moments in our work together included: aligning us via several conversations and an inspiration deck (really important for making sure you're on the same page), meeting me at a rental facility to walk through design elements together, coordinating with family members to make sure she got a comprehensive picture of what really mattered to me (bless my partner, he couldn't care less), and "secretly" working with family members to make the vision "bigger and better" and surprise me. Lauren also has an IMPECCABLE eye for how to bring all the million details together. She hand-selected and/or advised on every detail, from utensil colors to linens to stamp types to wax seals - all the tiny details that create a full "experience" for you and your guests, but by the end, you don't have energy to pick yourself! Moreover, Lauren is incredibly professional, warm, direct, patient, and supportive - all traits you need in a planner and designer. She will also tell you what she thinks, which is essential, particularly in the home stretch! By the end, Lauren was responsible for creating the wedding of my dreams. I can truly say it was the most magical weekend of my life, and while all weddings are so special when you have the people you love, it doesn't quite feel *spectacular* without all those details coming together. I am happy to share photos of my event with anyone who asks, or simply look at Lauren's instagram for her incredible work. Thank you, Lauren - we were so lucky to find you!!! 3

Events by Tyra is a black-owned, woman-owned wedding and event planning service provider based in Maryland. All are welcome! We offer full service planning for the couple that wants to make decisions, but doesn't want to be bogged down with all the details. Partial planning is available to couples that want to be more hands-on with hiring vendors and handling details, but might need just a bit of help when it comes to design and vendor management. Wedding management is perfect for couples that have already selected their vendors, planning their wedding, and are looking for help for the last couple months leading up to the wedding.

I rarely meet anyone in life that is as Type A and detail-oriented as I am, but Tyra was my match. I've done a lot of event planning in my own career, but you really can't be your own planner especially in the weeks leading up to the wedding on the day itself. Tyra thought of absolutely everything I needed her to think of and more! And no matter how well a wedding is planned, there are always weird things that pop up as you get to the finish line and during the wedding itself--Tyra handled all of those so my hubby and I could enjoy the day. She had absolutely everything covered to the point that I actually felt a bit guilty about how little I did because, hello, that's my personality. As for Tyra's personality--well, she's the best. Super duper friendly, professional and like a good BFF, not afraid to give it to you straight. Highly, highly recommend. P.S.--This was a second wedding for my hubby and I, and it was a very small group. If you figure you don't need a planner because your wedding is going to be intimate, you're wrong. Trust me when I tell you that you still need someone to coordinate with the vendors, make sure the ceremony musicians aren't dead, talk you through a tuxedo crisis, and literally sprint to jump into your officiant's car, who is lost and driving around the mall looking for the venue. ;)

I had the privilege to work with Abby and her team for my wedding and they were amazing. She helped with the entire wedding planning process and talked to all vendors. She stayed in communication with me at all times and kept me updated on the next steps. She was organized, well-versed in the industry, and above all respected my views and requests. During the day of coordination, her team helped to stay on schedule and had everything planned out from waking up to the end of the night. I couldn’t have done it with her. I’m truly grateful for all her hard work and everything her team did for me. Thank you so much, Abby, you are the best. I pray God bless your business and continue to elevate you. I will 100% recommend Abby and the D’exquisite team for all your planning and coordination needs. Looking forward to working with them again soon!

I had the pleasure of working with Imagine It to plan a wedding at the W Hotel in Washington, DC, under the direction of Andrea Taylor. To say the least, they completely exceeded my expectations! From the moment we met, I knew that I was in good hands. Imagine It was incredibly well-organized, detail-oriented, and proactive in making sure that every aspect of our wedding was perfect. Throughout the planning process, Andrea was always available to answer any questions or concerns that I had. She provided me with regular updates and suggestions, and was always willing to go above and beyond to make sure that our vision for the wedding was executed. Her communication skills were exceptional, and she was able to keep me calm and stress-free throughout the entire process. On the day of the wedding, Andrea was an absolute lifesaver. She was on top of everything, from coordinating with vendors to making sure that the wedding party was where they needed to be at all times. Her attention to detail was impeccable, and she made sure that everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Overall, I cannot recommend Imagine It enough.

I have been planning weddings and events for 15 years. After college, I worked as a meeting planner for several years, while also earning my International Wedding Planning Professional certification (IWPP). My love of special events is what convinced me to start my own business. I love working with clients to create their perfect vision. My goal is to take away the stress of the day so that my clients are able to enjoy themselves. I am able to help by suggesting venues and vendors, site visits and contracting, communicating and working with vendors, on-site coordination, setup, and post-event cleanup and follow-up.

When somebody understands your vision and makes it better, you’ve found a real treasure. My dear Dianne: what and how should I thank you? This dream came to reality because of you: your work ethic, your attitude, your vibe and abilities but, especially, your passion are INCREDIBLE. You read our thoughts and helped us on a journey to make a dream happen: from the smallest detail to the biggest decision, and even when we almost collapsed with your “minute by minute” We could not be more grateful. The love for all you do is what makes you a real deal. You are NOT A PLANNER, you are an absolute DIRECTOR. You listen, you take action, you make the groom and the bride feel they are really taken care of and… you also know how and when to make us cry, leaving the decision to us but always sharing a humble opinion. Thank you THANK YOU for your hard work, thank you for being the real deal, and a wonderful finding. I know who sent you. For everyone, please don’t hire her instantly; just listen to her for 2 minutes and then you will understand why she is your one and best option. We love you!! Art and Clau

We're here to pass the work off so you can get down to fun things like enjoying your family and friends and making sure your big day goes perfect.

All the amazing reviews of Tiffany reflect my own experience as half of a clueless couple whose hands Tiffany held for over a year. Where do I even begin... Tiffany was the first vendor we hired for our wedding, and from then on, she helped us assemble a dream team. We hired Tiffany for the full planning package. With her years of experience planning events and weddings of all sizes in the DMV area, she was able to introduce us to our beyond professional make up artist, cake designer, florist, and catering team. We had a lot of questions and she simply knew all the answers. Our friends and families marveled at how relaxed we were about our upcoming wedding, but there was literally nothing for us to worry about because we were working with Tiffany! Tiffany KNOWS wedding planning and takes great care of her clients AND their families. If you're looking for someone who is kind, responsive, and thorough--and you really should be looking for those qualities in the person planning one of the biggest days of your life--Tiffany is the planner for you. Thank you Tiffany!!!

Life is about enjoying special moments. It is all in the details and we pay attention to your needs and create an event that reflects your personality. We work hard to ensure each detail is captured and memorable. Let’s work together and have an unforgettable moment.

Natasha worked with Bianca for our wedding this past October, and let me just say this up front to any bride/groom: you may THINK you are type A and can handle any and every small detail in your wedding. You may THINK "how many decisions could I possibly need help with if I already have all of my vendors selected and every event for the weekend is in the same place? EASY." Welp, let me tell you folks--it is decidedly *not*. We had our wedding at the Intercontinental on the Wharf: all 3 wedding events throughout the weekend. I hired Natasha as some decisions were becoming mildly overwhelming and her prices were *chefs kiss*. When I say she and Bianca saved the day MULTIPLE times during our weekend, I am not overstating. She made every vendor organizational correspondence and handled all last minute questions they had--it was the best decision I made about the wedding (minus the groom, he's #1 ;)). Do yourself a favor as the price is MORE than absolutely worth the help and bliss Natasha will deliver you--BOOK.HER.IMMEDIATELY. She also already has working relationships with numerous vendors and locations in the city, which was astoundingly helpful. Seriously. Just book her and truly enjoy your wedding planning process!
