Aside from my love for all-things-events-and-weddings, I am a cat mom, dog mom (to the best dog ever, truly), goofy type-A (yes, we exist). I love everything coffee, purple, and vintage; I almost never go somewhere without red lipstick. And you’ll probably see me somewhere in downtown Frederick at least twice a week.

Sarah and her team are incredible at bringing the couple’s vision to life and keeping the day organized and moving forward. From ideation to execution, my partner and I trusted Sarah and Emily wholeheartedly. They ensured our day was relaxing and fun, and they dealt with the rest. Sarah is is professional, organized, she has a get it done attitude and is an absolute joy to be around. We appreciated her sense of humor and she matched our energy. We’d get married every weekend if it meant we could hire Sarah again and again.

Out of all of the many many decisions we made for our day, booking with Protea Event Planners was the best decision we made hands down. Caroline was a pleasure to work with and totally calmed any of our stress and anxiety during the days leading up - I can honestly say it’s because of her that we had a completely stress-free wedding day! Not only was it her lovely presence that made the day go perfectly, it was also her skill, natural talent, and years of experience in the industry. She put out all of the small fires, kept everything and everyone involved on time and running smoothly (with a huge bridal party, off-site church ceremony, and two wedding dress looks), and made every detail, no matter how small, of our vision come to life! She made herself extremely available and accessible for our many questions and concerns and never made us feel crazy :) Caroline absolutely went above and beyond for us and we cannot emphasize enough how crucial of a part she was in our day being so amazing. She is already booked for another wedding in the family because of how much we all loved working with her. If you’re thinking of working with Protea Event Planners, book it - you will not regret it!

I cannot sing Emma’s praises enough!!! We hired Emma as a month-of coordinator and are fully convinced she is the sole reason our wedding went off without a hitch! We had over 200 people and our ceremony was at a different location from our reception—no small undertaking—and from the moment we started working together, we knew our wedding was in good hands. Emma is extremely organized and has the perfect demeanor for this type of work. When I was actively pulling my hair out with stress (and a venue that was less than forthcoming about a conflict with our event space), Emma stepped up and made sure everything went smoothly, all while remaining calm, cool and collected. Emma was SO easy to work with and is a pleasure to be around. She also has a great inventory of items to bolster your décor—we ended up renting a card box and table numbers from her that she printed and designed with our names on it! She helped us hone our vision and refine our timeline, all while making sure everything was finalized to our liking! She put out every fire that popped up and truly felt like our wedding day guardian angel. Do yourself a favor and book Simply Grater Events!!!

We could not have asked for a better day-of coordination team than Kat and her incredible crew from Evviva Studio. From start to finish, they were an absolute dream to work with! Even before the official three-month coordination package started, they were wonderfully open and responsive over email, welcoming any questions we had.

Throughout the entire planning process, she was always available to answer questions and offer guidance. She kept everything organized on a Google Drive that we had access to and she was always available via email or text. Her knowledge of vendors in the Pittsburgh area was so impressive. Every vendor she recommended received a 5-star review. Any problems that came up with vendors leading up to the wedding were addressed so quickly by Rachel that I didn’t even have time to be stressed about it. I wasn’t worried about the venue, vendors, or the timeline going into my wedding day because I was so confident she knew exactly what we wanted and was so organized. She was on top of everything on the day of the wedding and ensured we had everything we needed and that the day ran so smoothly.

Hi, my name is Katrina! I have been coordinating weddings for almost over a decade now. I started doing weddings with my mother who was an event planner and designer at the time and fell in love with the process and being part of such a beautiful occasion. I work with clients directly from weeks to several months to help curate, design, execute making their dream come to fruition!

I had the pleasure of working with Katrina as our wedding coordinator and I cannot speak highly enough of her attention to detail and meticulous planning. Though I had 15 people in my wedding, due to covid, it still felt like a dream come true getting married that day. She had planned a mini surprise for my best friends to come and see me before I got married which was very special. I thank Katrina for making my wedding a memorable one and even though it wasn’t traditional because of covid, she was still able to bring out what I had envisioned for my covid-19 wedding. Her quality of service was superb and I highly recommend.

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!!!

One thing that I wanted on my wedding day was for everything to be timely. I didn’t want any delays, any ceremony running over time and STH made sure of that. The team was on top of everything and made sure reach ceremony, each tasks, each vendor, everything was timely and I had the best time! STH was also attentive to my emotions - there were times I had doubts about some parts of the wedding or when I was feeling overwhelmed and had a breakdown. In those moments, STH became more than a planner, she became a friend! I recommend to everyone I know!

Awarded Best of Zola
I am an event planner by trade, and the only thing I did not want for my wedding was to work. I did not want to plan it myself, or worry about a single detail day of. We interviewed so many planners, and Kolena stood out among the crowd. She is organized, creative, bright, and incredibly professional as well as friendly and relatable. On the day of our wedding, Kolena handled all of the set up, coordination, and tear down without bothering my husband or I with anything. She managed family, vendors, timelines, and all the day of fires with precision and grace. And at the end of the night, when I got to my room and the decor was boxed, labeled, flowers were in water, and nothing was left to be done, I actually shed a tear. Hiring Kolena was, aside from choosing my husband, the best decision I made for my wedding. You can’t put a price on ease of mind and no stress on your wedding day.

Hi NearlyWeds! Tate + Co is ready to help you enjoy your engagement season while you prepare for your marriage! It is my mission to help you set aside any things that are causing you stress or anxiety so that you can enjoy the beautiful start to your marriage. I've worked with couples all over the mid-Atlantic crafting their perfect day, and I'm excited to meet you and help you on your wedding journey!

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.

After 25 years as a full-time wedding planner and event designer based in Washington, D.C., Veronica Cole created Keep Calm And Wed On. We believe that couples should not have to sacrifice the luxury of professional guidance and experience of a wedding planner simply because you don't have a large budget. We help you save time and money on your wedding planning journey to keep calm and select the best vendor that fits your needs without breaking your budget. By combining our virtual wedding planning services with wedding day management, we can assist couples from anywhere in the world!

My venue for a Baby Shower brunch backed out at the last minute less than a full week before the event. I contacted Veronica and she immediately put me at ease and was able to reach out to her team and contacts. The next morning she already had options prepared. 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.

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.

Diane was easily the best decision I made for my wedding. From the very beginning she had lots of helpful planning documents, answered every question I had, gave us ideas when we couldn't figure out how or when we wanted something to happen for our special day, stayed over time on our planning / check in calls to make sure we felt that we covered everything, and did all of this with a smile and supportive, kind attitude. You're going to spend a lot of time with your wedding planner / coordinator, so it's important that they're a good person and you like them! Well Diane is a gem of a human being, and I really do feel like I made a forever friend in her. Throughout the planning process and on the day, there were times when I just needed emotional support, and she was there for me. Her communication is prompt, consistent, and thorough. She got back to me on every email in a timely manner with all the answers I needed. I didn't realize at the time but strong communication was probably the MOST important aspect that made working with vendors 1000x better, and Diane excelled at it. Additionally, in the lead up to my wedding day and on the day itself, Diane was on top of EVERY detail. She went above and beyond to make sure that everything was PERFECT - just as I always dreamed it would be. From helping me iron my wedding dress while my bridesmaids and I were getting our makeup done to overseeing every vendor arrival and setup to making sure transitions from each part of the day were smooth - she did it all. No detail was too small for her, and because she's a total professional, she thought of everything! I cannot say enough good things about Diane, her abilities as a planner, and her warmth as a person. She will be the best decision that you make for your wedding, too.

An experienced and award-winning wedding planner/coordinator in Baltimore, Maryland, RCC Weddings & Events prides itself on transforming visions into realities. Owned by certified wedding planner Renee Coshin Coolbaugh, the company’s organizational skills are perfect for newly engaged couples or couples who have been planning for some time. Crafting memorable celebrations, RCC Weddings & Events strives to exceed your wedding day expectations!

Renee is THE wedding planner - look no further!! From the jump, she took us under her wing and answered any and all questions we had, was extremely attentive, and made us feel comfortable and prepared. Having planned too many weddings to count, she really knows the industry and all the ins and outs of planning a wedding. She met with us multiple times leading up to the wedding, and always came prepared with outlines, itineraries, and details that we would have never thought of! She also is the sweetest and so easy to get along with. Truly felt like we had known her for years. With regards to communication, she was extremely responsive, and always kept us in the loop. As we got closer to the wedding, and things inevitably became more hectic, vendors would email us questions and before I could even think of a response, Renee had already replied and had the situation handled. I can’t tell you the amount of ease and stress relief Renee brought us. The weekend of the wedding, my husband and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Her team was quick and efficient and got things done. Our ceremony and reception set up was done exactly the way we had described and even exceeded expectations when we told her to use her creative liberties! I am the type to stress about details and worry about things running smoothly, but on our wedding day, I didn’t think twice about anything but enjoying the day. We knew Renee had it handled. If I thought of something last minute to bring up to Renee she would immediately say with ease, “we have it handled, don’t worry about a thing!!” I can’t emphasize how much that meant to us. My biggest advice to anyone planning a wedding would be to book a wedding planner and to get RENEE!!!! We will forever look back on our wedding knowing we, and everyone at our wedding, fully enjoyed every second and were not swept up in day-of tasks and duties. No one was stressed or worried about getting something done. People got to relax, party, and just enjoy themselves, because Renee had it handled.
