“I literally called Sierra like 2 weeks before my wedding date and she made it happen. Lots of shared notes, quick turn arounds, and reminders but Sierra never missed a beep. She went beyond my expectation and made sure I didnt sell myself or my husband short of an experience. My wedding was minimal (the way I like) yet impactful. Sierra will think of all the things you wont even consider. A mastermind to say the least for your BIG day!!”

“We hired Johnnie as our day of coordinator for our wedding. COVID-19 made planning a wedding stressful, but Johnnie & Co. Events made it much less so. Johnnie and her team worked diligently prior to my wedding day to make sure everything went off without a hitch. She checked in with me (the bride) multiple times to see if she could help with anything. If you’re on the fence about a day-of-coordinator and are looking towards Johnnie & Co. Events for help, I say do it! I cannot thank Johnnie enough for her help throughout our engagement! I think it says a lot about her that she was not willing to give up on us because we wanted to continue our wedding during this unprecedented time! This is a coordinator who will stick by you and make sure the job gets done, and done well.”

“Where do I even begin with Evelyn and Love & Laughter Weddings? Working with them for our NYC wedding was like having your coolest, most organized friend magically transform into a superhero wedding planner. Five stars aren't enough! From day one, they got our vibe and ran with it. The whole process felt less like business and more like planning a giant party with your best friends who happen to know EVERYTHING about weddings in the city. It was all heart eyes and high-fives from start to finish. The attention to detail was on point. I'm talking about Insta-worthy details that had our guests snapping pics left and right. Our wedding wasn't just an event; it was a personalized masterpiece, carefully curated by the Love & Laughter team. And can we talk about their local knowledge? They didn't just recommend venues; they curated experiences. We ended up with a wedding that was so 'us' it was like they peeked into our dreams and made it happen. What sets Evelyn and the entire team at Love & Laughter apart is their infectious energy. Wedding planning can be stressful, but these guys turned it into a series of laugh-out-loud moments. They made us feel like we were planning the coolest party of the year – and spoiler alert, it totally was. Our wedding day was a blast, and we owe it all to Love & Laughter Weddings. If you want your wedding to be a party and not just an event, these are the people to make it happen. Youthful, professional, and downright awesome.”

“If I could only give one piece of advice to fellow brides, it would be to hire the talented women of Evviva Studio! First and foremost, the professionalism of Kat, Sydney, Courtney, and Katie was out of this world and exactly what you would hope for on the most important day of your life. I am extremely type A and knew I wanted to tackle most of the wedding planning myself, but equally needed someone else to assist on the big day to alleviate the stress and pressure it would put on myself, my fiance, and our bridal party. We hired Kat and her team for day-of coordination, and little did I know, it would provide so much more than just some extra hands for those 12 hours that FLEW by. Even with day-of the coordination package, the Evviva studio still provided multiple consultations, facilitated ongoing communication with all of our vendors, and most importantly, carefully crafted the sacred timeline for our wedding day! This meant EVERYTHING to us in helping us feel prepared and so much more at ease. I can’t even begin to envision how differently our day would have looked without their guidance! Beyond fulfilling their professional responsibilities, the women of Evviva truly prioritize personal connection and high character. Kat was uplifting and encouraging in every single meeting we had. Her positivity and organization was also present in her event coordinators such as Katie and Courtney who never failed to meet us with smiles and an eagerness to help at our venue. Most of all, I need to shout out our lead coordinator for the day, Sydney, who I feel as though I can now call a friend! From the moment she walked in my home and introduced herself to my family and bridesmaids, I knew I could trust her with anything on my wedding day. She not only looked out for myself and my fiancé, but put in the extra mile to build a relationship with my loved ones. Everyone from my maid of honor to my grandmom could not stop talking about how incredible she was. The loyalty and dedication was unbelievable. For example, at one point she saved the day by literally running back to our trolley for my makeup when I cried half of it off during our private vows, lol! Don’t think twice, hire these wonderful people! I’ll never forget their impact on such an important day. Because of them, I could truly be present and not worry about one darn thing. THANK YOU, LADIES!!! We will be singing your praises until the end of time :) 3”

Hi there, I'm Melissa, but I go by Lissa. Welcome to my little corner of the internet- I'm so glad that you're here! I know that wedding planning can be a daunting process but I'm here to help navigate you through all of the craziness that comes with planning a wedding. I'm your planning BFF and hype-girl from the moment you get engaged to cheering you on as you bust a move on your wedding day! As a wedding planner and bridesmaid (x 10), I've seen pretty much every crazy scenario and I've got your back no matter what because you deserve the best experience possible! **Please inquire directly through my website**

“Lissa and her team was absolutely wonderful from the initial contact up to the end of our wedding day! No matter what kind of wedding you're having, she will make you and your partner feel like you have all of her attention as the most important couple. Throughout the whole process, she was so professional and supportive, even with not as traditional ideas. She had such a quick response time, usually within a day, or a couple hours, and sometimes even sooner! Her attention to detail in making my timeline was also amazing and I felt that we were able to have the whole day planned to the dot before the big day. On the wedding day, she made sure everything ran so smoothly and we were not stressed out at all! We had some small hiccups with the layouts that our venue had set up, but a quick word from Lissa had them fixing the issue. She's the perfect amount of assertiveness, professionalism, and friendliness with everyone, including the guests. The largest thing that stood out to us was how much all of our other vendors loved Lissa and working with her, and we could see it throughout the day. Our venue had restrictions such as a short setup window, but Lissa communicated with them and navigated the situation very well to make everything go smoothly. Even though we had a venue management person for the day of, it was nothing compared to working with someone that truly focuses on you and your needs. Our vision was captured beautifully, and we do not regret hiring her at all!”

Megan's communication and organization were outstanding throughout the entire planning process, which made things smooth and enjoyable on our end. Even when the weather threw us a curveball with a storm on the big day, Megan adjusted seamlessly and made sure everything continued as planned. The quality of her work was fantastic - she worked closely with all of our other vendors and coordinated everything flawlessly. Our special day truly was special thanks in large part to Megan's efforts. We couldn't give a higher recommendation - A Tid Bit Bridal gets 10/10 stars from us!”

“We had an exceptional experience with Evermore Occasions for our wedding in August 2024, and I can’t recommend highly enough. Carmen’s expertise was evident from the beginning as they worked with us to expertly managed every detail. Through their AislePlanner app, we meticulously discussed and documented everything from inspiration photos and checklists to guest lists, seating charts, budgeting, and timelines. Carmen and her team were incredibly organized and kept us aligned with every decision. Their attention to detail was impeccable, covering everything from communicating with wedding VIPs to organizing the ceremony setup, reception seating, favors, place settings, and ensuring compliance with venue regulations. They even handled the napkin folds and breakdown with precision. On the wedding day, Carmen and her team guided us seamlessly through the timeline, which had the perfect amount of buffer to accommodate any unexpected changes. We were kept informed about any issues—like one guest feeling unwell—only as needed, allowing us to truly enjoy our day. The positive feedback from our guests about the event’s flawless orchestration was overwhelming. The day after the wedding, we were amazed to find that everything had been packed up and returned without any extra venue charges. This smooth transition is a testament to Carmen and her team's dedication and efficiency. Their patience and support throughout the planning process turned what could have been a stressful experience into a joy. I wholeheartedly recommend Evermore Occasions to anyone looking for top-notch wedding planning services.”

I quickly discovered the joy of creating that special day that people have been dreaming of their entire lives and, soon after, launched SWP.

“We were so excited to work with Macy after meeting her and feeling right away how genuine, organized, and excited she was. She thought of all the little details we didn’t, stayed in contact with all of our vendors to keep everyone on the same page, answered all of our questions, and was so kind and encouraging through our wedding planning process and wedding day! We both felt such a sense of a relief to have her on our team because we knew how much she cared about us and our wedding and totally trusted her expertise to solve any last-minute issues that popped up.

She handled issues I didn't even know about until well after there was already a solution or it had been solved already. She made the process seamless and we had a PERFECT wedding day. I can safely say without her expertise, we would not have been able to pull off the Washington, DC wedding of my dreams.”

At Avenue Design Studio, we began as a floral business, but quickly realized we could offer so much more to our clients. Over our 10+ years of working with couples on those special lifetime moments, we found ourselves stepping in to assist our brides and event clients with planning, vendor coordination, and overall event management. This inspired us to shift our focus and create Avenue Design Studio, a full-service event planning and design company. Whether you’re looking for full-service planning or just need assistance with specific aspects, we provide multiple packages and a la carte options to fit your needs. You dream it, we create it.

“Avenue Design Studio - Wedding Planning was an absolute pleasure to work with. Their communication style was efficient, kind, and trustworthy throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and value exceeded our expectations - it was an awesome experience that was even better than we had imagined! They did a fantastic job with the flowers, allowing us to let them handle the style and overall look of the bouquets, table pieces, and the beautiful flower arch, which all perfectly matched our vision. When our wedding coordinator unexpectedly got food poisoning the day of the wedding, they replaced her with someone else seamlessly, without any disruption. We are so grateful to the Avenue Design Studio team for making our special day truly unforgettable.”

“Penderview Events truly went above and beyond to make our day PERFECT. As a DIY and meticulous bride, we knew Anna was the one we would entrust with our vision the moment we had our phone consultation; she was so incredibly sweet and enthusiastic about our big day, and I immediately felt a sense of ease that she will be able to handle all the shenanigans and i can pass her the torch with ease. Although she was hired for "day of", she assisted us in any way possible months leading to and made sure we were on top of all the important tasks leading up to the day of (i.e. vendors contact info, finalizing timeline for the morning/day of, etc.). My big day unfortunately started off disastrous (I became car sick), so I was unable to give guidance with the decor during set up. But since one of the tasks Anna asked me weeks prior was for a list with all the decor and how/where I wanted them placed, Penderview legit made my vision come true!!!!!!!! Penderview was so attentive, that they were even able to place some items which I gave no instructions for (i.e. last minute decided that we wanted wedding party to sit during the ceremony, so I made name placement cards for the reserved chairs, and without mentioning it, they were placed on the chairs in processional order). Penderview was able to execute every event and details on the timeline FLAWLESSLY, and I was able to enjoy the event with ease knowing that everything was in such capable hands. We felt and saw how invested Penderview was throughout the day in making it perfect for us, especially the attention to details and handling all the logistics smoothly behind-the-scenes. I also really appreciated Anna’s assertiveness when hiccups would arise (ie, making sure guests wouldnt be walking in while were ready down the aisle/stay out of view, wedding party prioritized drinking and forgot to come back for portraits; flower girls kept running infront of camera during portraits, and so many other headaches i did not want to deal with, etc.) Not only was Anna able to accomplish and execute my vision beyond expectations, but she was also my emotional support and my right-hand lady, making sure I was always hydrated. Anna’s empathetic and kind demeanor made her feel more like a close friend than just a ‘day of coordinator’. Hiring Penderview was the best investment we made. Thank you so much for making our day magical and we will forever be grateful to Penderview!!!”

The fearless Elizabeth Carberry Creative team brings over 15 years of collective experience. After having studied Art History at Dickinson College, Elizabeth went on to start her first company, an art and artist consulting firm in 2011. Pivoting her role as brand manager, creative director and marketing guru for DC area artists, Elizabeth focused on small businesses and start ups, and began applying her creative eye to photo styling and content creation. It was through the passion of styling and creating small moments of beauty that she found her love for love and desire to plan the weddings of the amazing couples that she works with.

“Elizabeth Carberry and her team are truly second to none in the wedding planning space. Back in 2019, I had met with numerous planners in DC and the stars aligned on cost, vision, and personality with Elizabeth immediately. Even before we signed on the dotted line, Elizabeth was hard at work taking the things we mentioned in our first call and setting up appointments with vendors. As it turned out, this would be an excellent indication of how thoughtful, efficient, and hardworking she and her team would be in working with us to plan our dream wedding(s) over the next few years. When the pandemic hit, we had already booked our date and many vendors but it was clear we probably weren’t going to move forward with our original date or vision, Elizabeth was so on top of rescheduling things and renegotiating on our contracts, we felt totally supported the entire time. She really went above and beyond. We started planning another version of our wedding on a rescheduled date and once again, another wave of the pandemic hit and we were out of luck again. While I’m sure Elizabeth and her team were as exhausted and frustrated as we were, they kept everything professional while also being incredibly empathetic to the situation. We canceled our second attempt at a wedding and went back to the drawing board. Third times the charm, it seems! My husband and I decided to scrap our plans for a big 200 person wedding bash in DC and have an intimate ceremony of 45 people at my parents cabin in PA. We proposed this idea to Elizabeth, knowing it was a huge pivot and trek for her, but without really any hesitation we shifted gears and started planning our new dream wedding in the mountains of PA. Within a matter of days, our contracts had been once again renegotiated with vendors who wanted to make the trip to another state and new vendors were found (a seemingly impossible task in rural PA). The day went off without a hitch and my husband and I look back on the whole process and wedding day so fondly, even with the nightmare of the pandemic. The day of, Elizabeth and her team were so incredible and efficient but stayed behind the scenes, making sure I knew they were there but not overwhelming us. The ceremony and reception were so beautiful and fun- she made our vision a reality. We woke up the next morning and everything was disassembled/organized and ready for the vendors to pick up. Of note, Elizabeth is also incredibly professional and will advocate for you with difficult vendors and make sure you’re not getting taken advantage of- you can tell she’s seasoned pro! Elizabeth and her team are the reason why, even after two foiled attempts, we have nothing but amazing memories from the wedding planning and actual day of! I recommend Elizabeth Carberry to anyone getting married- she and her team are the best of the best. Thank you for our perfect day, EC!”

“TLDR: Easy communication, handles everything, calming, amazing experience. Madi helped us plan and coordinated our wedding in June at the Eaton DC. We cannot recommend her enough!! During the planning process, she was the perfect balance of being the cheerleader for our ideas, and weighing in with her own when we needed another perspective. We felt pretty unprepared and clueless about planning a wedding, and Madi was so accepting of that and really validated us along the way. She handed all of the communication and emails, which was a huge task and a relief to hand off. On the actual wedding day, Madi and her team made everything feel comfortable and easy. Madi has such a calm demeanor that we completely trusted that no matter what happened, she was going to take care of it and it wouldn’t impact us. And it didn’t! We weren’t aware of any logistics going on around us, and Madi and her team made sure it was the most special for us. Our friends and family commented throughout the night and afterwards on how great Madi and her team were. I am SO glad and grateful we had Madi for our wedding, and I wholeheartedly encourage anyone looking for planning or coordination to go with Tate Co.”

From our first meeting to loading up decor at the end of the wedding day, she was amazing, enthusiastic, and professional. She went above and beyond in dealing with vendors and took so much off my plate. She also saved my mental health in the months/weeks leading up to the wedding, not bothered by my many questions and random thoughts and happily answered them all. She took my random thoughts and my very rough vision for decor and ran with it. I was stunned and amazed when I saw how everything turned out.

“Kristy was the wedding vendor I didn’t know I needed, until I met her! My husband and I hired Kristy as our day of coordinator for our wedding last weekend and she was nothing short of amazing! Once our wedding was about 4 months out and we really started to get into the weeds of planning our big day, we realized that we needed a day of coordinator as we were doing a lot of DIY touches for the wedding and needed someone there to make sure our vision could actually come to life. Upon meeting Kristy, she immediately gave us a ton of ideas as to where to thrift on a tight budget and had so much information and helpful tips to offer. She also took over the vendor communication 3 months out which was a huge lift in the final planning stage! She was very effective in her coordination with all of our vendors and point of contacts so that on the day of the wedding we were really just enjoying the day both carefree and stress-free. Kristy offers a ton of helpful documents to review after your first session with her and she creates a custom timeline for you with the day scheduled to the minute. She was so organized and really kept us on track! Kristy also did an amazing job with the breakdown of the event especially since we brought in a lot of the decor in ourselves. She was flexible in making sure that all of our items got into one of our family member’s cars so it could be picked up whenever we had time the next day. This was a huge help so that guests at the wedding weren’t carrying flowers, vases, and signs home for us and instead headed directly to the after party. She even texted my parents the morning after with the details of where all of our items were stored and shared some great photos (and a reel with us) from the day! :) Kristy was also an advocate for us as clients, which went a really long way. We were having issues communicating well with one of our vendors, but Kristy stepped in and found a way to get a hold of the vendor and ensure our ask could be met. Without that push, our day would have looked a lot different than the vision we had hoped for- she really made our day come to life. After going through the wedding process, I truly think everyone needs a day of coordinator so if you have a slight inclination that someone is needed, think no further and contact Kristy! While weddings can get expensive as we all know, the best use of our money on our wedding day was spent on Kristy. Looking back on our day, we can’t thank her enough!!”
