Carice Coleman of Pinnacle Affairs was a true joy to work with. From planning my surprise engagement to our wedding Carice provided smooth communication, was very responsive and handled any issue that came up with any vendors. She was very flexible and thorough throughout the entire process. She had great vendor recommendations and an awesome checklist that made our wedding day as smooth as possible from photographer, florist, dj, etc. As the day of coordinator, Carice did not stop moving to ensure our day went as we wished, even when things occurred she handled them with grace. Her team provided wonderful support as well. I look forward to our next event because it will be a joy to work with her again. If you are reading this review, she is your woman for the job!

I’ve always been drawn to bringing people together and creating experiences that make memories last a lifetime. With 8 years within the event industry, I’ve had the privilege of helping couples turn their vision into a reality that’s both beautiful and stress-free. My combination of creativity, attention to detail, and genuine love for celebrating love is what makes me truly invested in every couple I work with.

Kathy was an absolute blessing throughout our wedding planning process. She was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and always available to answer any questions we had along the way. She made planning feel fun and stress-free instead of overwhelming. She truly went above and beyond in every way — from ironing linens the night before to helping clean up after a full day of coordinating. On the wedding day, everything was executed so seamlessly and smoothly that we were able to fully enjoy every moment. We truly could not have asked for a better coordinator!

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!

From our first meeting with Our Curated Design, we knew we had found the right team to bring our vision to life. Their communication throughout the planning process was clear and responsive, making us feel heard at every step. What truly set them apart was their dedication to detail—they coordinated every aspect of our day with precision and went above and beyond with the decorating, transforming our venue into something we didn't even know was possible. The quality of their work was exceptional, and they delivered exactly what we needed without breaking the bank. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful everything looked, and we have Our Curated Design to thank for that.

One Twenty West is a wedding planning and design studio with roots in New York City, now based in coastal Virginia and working with couples across Hampton Roads, Richmond, Washington D.C., New York, and destination markets. We've spent over a decade producing high-end celebrations where the details are noticed, the standards are high, and the experience is everything. We design for couples who want abundance done with intention. The elevated tabletop, the lush florals, the activations that keep guests talking for years. And someone experienced enough to hold every piece of it so you can stay present for all of it.

Working with Alisha for our destination wedding was a dream come true! We found her when she was starting as a day-of wedding planner, and despite initial nerves, we decided to trust her – and we're so glad we did. Alisha was not just professional but went above and beyond with her attention to detail and genuine care. Our wedding plans shifted from Cozumel, Mexico, to San Juan, Puerto Rico, due to COVID-19, but Alisha handled it all seamlessly. She kept us calm and ensured everything ran perfectly on our big day. Alisha's proactive and dedicated approach made a huge difference. She managed everything from scheduling to booking vendors, and her collaboration with other vendors was spot-on. We're incredibly thankful for her role in making our wedding a success.

We are a licensed and insured wedding planning company based in Richmond but also serving Charlottesville, DC and the Hampton Roads area. We are more than happy to travel for our couples- even destination weddings! We offer something for all couples, from full service planning, partial planning, and event management. Our passion is to create unforgettable weddings that are innovative, personal and leave a lasting impression on your guests. To us, every detail matters and that is why we make sure no detail goes unnoticed. We work with you from the beginning to help develop your unique vision and create the event of your dreams!

When choosing a day of coordinator for our wedding, one of our top priorities was finding someone we could fully trust to execute our vision. From our very first phone call with Hallie, we knew that her and her team were the perfect fit. Hallie is incredibly kind, detail-oriented, and confident. She knows exactly what needs to get done and the best way to get it done. Her team members are also phenomenal and they all worked together seamlessly with our other vendors so that every detail was executed as planned. Aside from the flawless wedding day, Hallie took SO much off of our plate in the final few months by creating our timeline and coordinating with our other vendors to ensure everyone was on the same page. She asked us questions about details we wouldn't have ever thought of, which helped to create a magical, stress-free wedding day. It really could not have been any better. A member of our wedding party said "I have seen so many stressed brides day of but you were legit vibing". She is correct -- I am typically an anxious person but I was able to enjoy and be present in every moment for the ENTIRE day and I owe a lot of that to Hallie and her team. Thank you, Hallie & team, for helping Conor and I create the perfect celebration of our love on the best day of our lives.

Allie’s the person who comes to mind when people ask, “how was the wedding?” From lighting to song choices to the flower girl’s petals to the bridal suite (and so, so much more), Allie was on top of it all. Her passion for her work coupled with her top-notch ability to navigate the bride and groom, their families, and venue/vendor staff blew my expectations for a day-of coordinator out of the water. She made sure the day ran smoothly and kept everyone on schedule, while working behind the scenes to ensure things (and people!) were where they needed to be and when. Her ability to remove stressful decisions without forgetting the little details let everyone focus on having a great time. We could not have done it without her.

Words cannot describe how incredible our day was and how much joy we felt having the JLM team there. Johanna’s wedding industry knowledge is incredible and beyond what we expected. We had a private property wedding with lots of tent permit/alcohol license questions that needed answers. Johanna not only helped answer all of our questions, but gave us the confidence to sit back and enjoy our day! She was punctual and always a ray of sunshine! We also had a specific vision for the table settings and ceremony. JLM executed the decor flawlessly. We also hired Danielly to capture short “content creation” videos. This was THE BEST decision we could have made. It was such a treat to see our wedding in little snippets that we can have for the rest of our lives!

As a minister, I’ve officiated quite a few weddings over the years—and I’ve worked with all kinds of planners and coordinators. Some are focused solely on the bride, others are scrambling behind the scenes, and a rare few manage to bring it all together with grace, confidence, and kindness. Tara, the lead planner at TR Decor and Events, is absolutely one of those rare few. From the moment I arrived at the rehearsal, Tara had everything dialed in—names memorized, cues timed out, and a calm sense of leadership that made everyone, including me, feel at ease. She wasn’t overbearing or bossy, just quietly in charge in the best possible way. With a smile on her face and a gracious spirit, she kept the whole event flowing like a well-rehearsed dance. What really stood out to me was her attention to detail and how she treated people. Vendors, guests, family members—everyone was met with kindness and care. Tara and her team went above and beyond to make sure the day wasn’t just beautiful, but meaningful and smooth from start to finish. If you’re looking for a planner who truly knows how to hold all the moving parts of a wedding with both professionalism and heart, Tara and TR Decor and Events are a dream to work with.

We didn’t want a big production - just a quiet ceremony in the mountains with a small group of friends and family. Frannie helped us design a day that felt like us, without spending a fortune. She supported us with so much gentleness and intention, we'll definitely be reaching out to her for all of our future events. From finding vendors that worked with our needs (even a gluten-free vegan baker!) to helping me create my bouquet from grocery store flowers when we just didn't have the budget for a florist. She helped make our day absolutely perfect, and stress-free, you can't go wrong with her as your planner!

When I first started planning my wedding, I looked at vendors on Zola, but I didn't have a clear idea of what I wanted (besides a specific venue). I ended up looking on Google for local wedding planners who could give me an idea of what has worked well in the past, and that's how I found Whitney. She helped me figure out what would work well for the venue and my budget and gave me suggestions to help refine my idea beyond "flowers" and "mid-budget". (This was really great since my fiancée had no interest in helping--a red flag.) To make a long story short, working with Whitney was great even though my wedding ended up being called off. I'm currently focusing on myself, so who knows if I'll ever need to plan another wedding. But I'd definitely work with Whitney again if I ever do!

Sarah coordinated my wedding in Cancun and I want to thank her sooooo much! I'm an accountant and I own several businesses, so there were so many times Sarah had to stay on me to get stuff done. She stayed on top of deadlines, she made sure everyone had their room and flight booked, made sure everyone had transportation, worked hand in hand with my photographer and the wedding specialist at the resort. From the start of initial planning to the end of the reception, she literally ripped and ran to get stuff done!! She had the line-up in tact, the songs on point, she even went so far to make sure my dress was perfect for pictures that she FELL OFF THE PLATFORM and plunged into the pool!! NOW THATS DEDICATION!! Thanks so much Sarah. I am so thankful and don't know how I could've pulled this off without you. Thanks for not letting up on the resort and making sure my wedding turned out perfect !
