The Planning Bee

  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $4,900
  • Serves Emporia, VA for additional fees

Hey there, I'm Lauren! I’m a unique blend of “Type-A Detail Lover” meets a “Laid-Back Enneagram 2,” which works surprisingly well while planning weddings! Let me handle the nitty-gritty details, so you and your fiancé can sit back, grab that mimosa, and enjoy your engagement.

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot recommend The Planning Bee highly enough! We hired Lauren to help with our pre and post wedding events, and she went ABOVE and BEYOND our expectations. We consider ourselves highly type A and on top of pretty much everything, and she still was able to point out things we missed or hadn’t considered. Because of her we were able to fully relax, trust and let go because we knew we were in good hands. We didn’t lift a finger at either of our events and got to truly enjoy our time with our loved ones. Lauren was our favorite vendor out of everyone we worked with and we are sad we won’t be working together in the immediate future. However, whenever we have party planning needs in the future, she will be our first call! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Lauren! You’re incredible!

Hello! I’m Andrew, owner and lead planner at A.Carey Events. As a 15-year events industry veteran, I’ve valued being a part of weddings throughout the country, and especially along the East Coast. My company's name is an homage to my grandfather and my daughter, where we all share "Carey" in our name. I started in the industry planning events in college. Once in DC, I worked for a leading floral and décor company delivering over 500+ weddings. I enjoy partnering with couples and helping to execute their vision. It’s an honor to be trusted with such a momentous occasion, surrounded by so many people who are full of joy and love!

Awarded Best of Zola
Over the past year I have loved getting to work with Andrew for our wedding! From our initial meeting, I knew Andrew was going to be the best decision we made. I appreciated our check-in meetings, vendor recommendations, and mainly the support I felt. The meetings were extremely helpful- even if you think you have everything under control, I found myself having new tasks to complete after each one- Andrew seriously knows all the ins and outs of planning a wedding! I went into the wedding planning process with a lot of visions, Andrew assured me he would help in any way he could to make them happen. Our wedding day turned out better than we could have imagined. We were and still are in love with our ceremony set up, to the reception layout and how flawless the timeline felt. We loved every moment and would recommend A.Carey events to anyone for any event!!

Kaity Campbell Weddings & Events LLC 

5.0

  • Offers 6 services
  • Starts at $50
  • Serves Emporia, VA for additional fees

With Kaity Campbell Events, you will have a truly luxurious customer experience from the moment you sign your contract all the way up to your event day, and even beyond. We believe that every wedding should be a reflection of your unique love story, and we are here to ensure that every detail is perfectly tailored to your desires. Our passion for creating unforgettable experiences, combined with our industry expertise, allows us to curate a seamless and stress-free wedding day that exceeds your expectations. Being able to create an event that is truly yours, and has all the elements you care about, is why I started doing what I do.

Kaity did a great job, especially considering all the uncertainty of bad weather (my ceremony was outdoors) we had to all deal with. She always had an upbeat and positive attitude the whole time, which I know can be very difficult to do around my family. She definitely would just roll with all the punches to keep us on track. I was anxious the entire day, but Kaity reassured me that she had everything under control and I knew I could trust her. She even went out of her way to get me and my husband little care packages on the day of, with inspiring notes. The only hiccups I actually noticed was with announcements and speeches, because the volume and echo was not great, so people didn't know when things were actually happening, so I wish we could've told the DJ sooner to fix the issue. We had also wanted to have our dinners boxed up, because my husband and I were both too anxious and excited to really eat, so our food ended up being thrown away, plus we didn't receive the top tier of our wedding cake to save for the tradition thing (but my guess is because they served it all to the guests). Unfortunately, at the end of the night, we were super rushed to get everything out of the building, because of the time and the pouring rain- I was running around barefoot in my dress while my husband was passed out in the car, and I was one of the few trying to get everything packed and cleaned up. However, Kaity and her husband really helped us out by collecting all the left items and holding onto them for us until the next day. She kept in contact, since at least a month beforehand, to make sure we had everything in order and sent her all the vendor contacts , so she could be included with all the day-of plans. She really did go above and beyond to make sure I had the best day possible, and I really appreciated that from her. I would definitely hire her again.

Carice Coleman of Pinnacle Affairs was a true joy to work with.

Awarded Best of Zola
Being new to planning a wedding, we had no idea what we were signing up for. Quickly into the planning process, we realized we needed help to pull off our special day. The process of finding a day-of coordinator felt overwhelming—until we found MK Events. Their sign-up process was a breeze, with a low initial booking fee that was incredibly helpful as we budgeted for our big day. The clarity with which they outlined their duties gave us the confidence we needed to know we were in capable hands. I truly cannot think of a single critique. Without Melissa and Kourtney, I would have felt completely overwhelmed. They held everything together with such grace, a fun spirit, and a calm demeanor that was not only infectious but grounding and very much needed on a day filled with heightened emotions. They became more than just coordinators—they were a safe space and a solid support system beyond what I can express in words. A moment that stands out in particular was when I had almost given up on the vision I had for our altar. I had 100% resigned myself to the fact that it just wasn’t going to happen. But Melissa and Kourtney went above and beyond to make it a reality. The way they brought that vision to life, down to the smallest detail, left me incredibly thankful. And the fact that they loaded everything back into the U-Haul at the end of the night was really an incredible help! Every part of the experience with Melissa and Kourtney was exceptional. Their calm and positive energy was exactly what we needed to counterbalance the inevitable stress of the day. We were even treated to a lovely surprise when they sent us some candid background photos they had taken and a lovely bouquet of our table flowers for both me and my fiancée, as well as our parents. Their willingness to step in and handle any task, from filling vases with stones and sand to troubleshooting last-minute issues, was beyond what we ever expected. These women are true superstars. We initially booked MK for day-of coordination because we didn’t realize how much would fall on us. We found ourselves becoming increasingly overwhelmed with all the tasks—decorating, moving decor, coordinating vendors and family photographers, and so much more. That’s when Melissa and Kourtney stepped in, and we couldn’t have been more grateful. Thank you, MK Wedding Coordination, for being the rock that held our wedding together. You made our day not just possible, but perfect.

Amaka and her team took over like we wanted and literally covered everything. The best part was how they helped us save tons of money on our wedding. Don't be hesitant in booking. Book them with confidence and I promise you will not be disappointed. Everything about your wedding will scream luxury and will be well organized. The price you pay is well worth it Somehow they found a way to even get my husband involved in the planning process because Amaka made it a fun process. She also gave us a planning book to help keep track and our own personalized google sheet that literally had everything including our guest list and how everyone would be seated. Amaka was always available when needed and if she wasn't, she delegated someone else. My husband and I loved attending vendor visits with her and she would always offer to treat us to lunch/dinner whenever we had appts. They went ABOVE and BEYOND to make sure the wedding was blissful. I recommended her to a friend who has a destination wedding next year and they are already in love. A planning company that knows what they're doing, very honest with you rather than telling you what you want to hear and extremely resourceful. We also got to save on decor because they provided rentals since we booked the full service planning and Amaka with giving us tips on how to save on decor. We wanted them to actually do the decor :-( but they couldn't at that time and was honest about it. However, I am excited about ariscreationz doing the decor for my friend's wedding.

Hi, I'm Charlene, My passion is weddings! It's my absolute joy to work with you to create a memorable wedding or event. When I see that big smile at the end of the night, that is my reward! I discovered my passion for weddings and events when I helped with Decor and set-up in a large church. I pursued my passion by taking college courses for wedding consulting. I went on to earn my Planning Certification through American Association of Wedding Professionals (AAWP.) I've always been an organizer, administrator, and communicator and this career allows me to use my extraordinary God-given talents for my clients . I live and breathe weddings!

Charlene came to my rescue when my previous coordinator dipped on me and took my money about a month prior to our date. I had asked for referrals from a vendor, and he suggested Charlene, and she quickly requested a consultation. As soon as we hired her, she jumped into action asking for all my contracts and information I had since I already did most of the things. Charlene was prompt with responding to my emails and asked all the right questions. Charlene did more for me within that month than my other coordinator ever did in the last 2 years. Charlene was kind and direct, and gave many suggestions to elevate my ideas which was very helpful! Day of our wedding, I couldn’t have asked for a better turnout. I had an idea of everything I wanted, but gave her and assistants freedom to change anything they saw fit. Charlene, and her assistants Megan and Rene brought all my ideas to life better than I imagined! I was very happy with their service and their friendly/positive vibes. They were very quick with timings and helped me with everything, that I didn’t have to worry about a thing! I wish I had hired Charlene from the beginning, but things happen for a reason! I would HIGHLY recommend Charlene and her team to anyone looking for her services!! Thank you so much for everything, you were a life saver!!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot emphasize enough how grateful I am that I hired Dora to be our Day-Of Coordinator. It was by far the best money we spent on the entire wedding. It was such a relief to have her help during the final stretch (we hired her about 1 month before the wedding) and we wish we would have started working with her sooner. She was organized, knowledgeable, and professional. We were originally supposed to have our wedding under an outdoor pavilion, but there was a tornado warning that day and the pavilion flooded. The venue coordinator decided that we would be moving up the hill to their indoor space that luckily wasn’t being rented at the same time. Dora was able to manage all our other vendors and get our décor up the hill during a crazy storm. With only a few hours’ notice, she recreated my vision in a room that I had only seen once and had decided against almost immediately. The wedding flowed as if we had planned for this outcome the whole time and Dora kept her cool despite everything. I truly don’t know what we would have done without her. We were so thrilled with the result and having someone I could trust to iron out the many issues we encountered was invaluable
