Cassidy was absolutely amazing to work with! I was pretty clueless to a lot of the smaller wedding details and Cassidy was incredibly helpful. She was amazing to work with throughout the entire process and was especially great on my wedding day. Everything was perfectly set up when I got to the venue and she was great at letting our friends & family know where they needed to be and making the whole event run seamlessly - I didn't have to worry about a thing other than having a good time! Her online planning tools were super helpful and her communication with my other vendors was also great. It was so great to have her as my planner. Cassidy was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! 10/10

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I had a 5 star experience with Grace & Glory Weddings and Events. And that's because Victoria single handedly made our wedding happen despite all of the challenges that we, and the world, threw at her. We were originally looking for just a day-of coordinator, but it was clear after our first meeting that we needed a wedding planner. Victoria had everything we were looking for - most importantly, being a stern leader and knowing what needs to be done, without adding any extra stress leading up to, and on the day of the wedding. From the get-go, she had great advice about how to pull a wedding together, despite our lack of a vision for the details. Victoria took the lead, providing checklists to help keep us on schedule with all of the minor and major details, and taking the few ideas we had and forming them into a full vision for our wedding. She was fantastic at getting our input to make sure the wedding day reflected us. When the pandemic caused us to delay our wedding and change the venue entirely, Victoria took these massive changes in stride and blew away all of our expectations. She was on top of every detail and took care of all of the vendor coordination. She navigated the unknown caused by the pandemic with ease, and provided a calm voice with concrete steps of how to move forward. She made re-planning our new wedding day a breeze. I can't even fathom what we would have done without her. Our wedding day was better and more beautiful than we ever could have imagined thanks to Victoria’s help. She went above and beyond our expectations, and ensured everything went according to plan. We highly recommend working with Grace & Glory Weddings and Events for the least-stress wedding experience possible!

I've worked with couples all over the state of Virginia 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.

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. She also was amazing in dealing with an unhappy venue staff member at the end of the wedding, ensuring our evening was perfect.

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.

We had so many crazy things happen with our venue the weekend of the wedding. Chad and his team made it easy and stress free for me as the bride to focus on myself and my family and friends and not all the hardship that was happening that day. From the beautiful design and setup of the event, to the management of all the vendors, it was a beautiful and stress free day!

Words cannot define the worth and joy it was to have Kawania and her team be a part of my wedding day. She was a constant advocate for our needs and budget throughout the process, being realistic at every turn. What I know now is that what you get with Kawania is experience and know-how of the industry. She has planned several weddings and events before and knows how to troubleshoot mishaps that may happen on the wedding day in real time. She understands that the day of the event is a special moment for everyone involved and she knows not to bring stress to the wedding party and to allow them to live in the moment. At subsequent weddings, I have felt that my friends needed this approach with their planners on their wedding day/weekend. I, being their guest or in their bridal party felt the disorganization that their planners or self-planning brought. This was not the case with Kawania. We had glowing comments about our wedding day for even a year after and how it was not just a ceremony but a day of entertainment. She is an excellent communicator. We had regular meetings throughout the year, about once a week. I have seen my friends have wedding planners who do not get back to them for several days after they have a question about their wedding. Kawania brought my vendors to me instead of me having to look for vendors on my own and when one did not work she always had another one that could take the place. She set up meetings with me and my vendors one-on-one and reviewed all of our vendor contracts to make sure that we were getting a fair contract and that expectations for the vendor and for us were both reasonable and what we were looking for. Being a very busy working professional I appreciated that Kawania went above and beyond to make sure that I stayed on the schedule and was extremely patient when there were moments when I could not. I value how she brought my vision to life and had such great attention to small details that my day was exceptional. I have seen my guests feature elements of my wedding at their subsequent events and it speaks to how she was able to set the bar high for what a classy and unique event should be. Far beyond a wedding planner, she has become someone that I keep in contact with after the wedding. She even checked in on me when there was a major catastrophic event that took place in the area where I lived months after the wedding. There were even moments when I became uncertain or stressed and focused on the wrong thing when it came to my wedding. Kawania, quite like a mother figure helped me realize what my focus should be and to ignore all other distractions so that when I walked down the aisle, I was in full confidence of how the day was going to be and did not feel a single ounce of stress on my wedding day. I could not be more thrilled to work with Kawania again. Although I do not see myself getting remarried I would certainly work with her for any big event I needed in the future. She has such a positive energy and global about her and brings a light to every interaction even difficult ones that makes her pleasant, respectable, dependable, and all around the absolute reason why my big day went off such success. I cannot state how tirelessly she and her team worked so when I did meet them in person but felt like I was meeting friends who knew exactly what I wanted. You will not regret working with Kawania and Howerton Wooten events!

Willow Creek Event Planning is a fast growing, women-owned business that specializes in Event Planning, Coordination, and Luxury Rentals. With our background in corporate planning, our initial introduction into the wedding industry was a match made in heaven. Since then we have been partnering with couples all over the DMV (and beyond) to ensure seamless, memorable events.

We were so so happy with the service Willow Creek Event Planning provided. We opted for the day-of coordination and it really helped take a load off of my husband and I. I strongly recommend you at least get a day-of coordinator for your wedding, especially these ladies. They had fast response times leading up to the wedding, they helped bring things to my attention that I didn’t know needed to be planned, and they were there for everything on the wedding day. Even rushing to get a bandaid for my clumsy self! 10/10

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!

You know those people they say are “sunshine in human form”? Meet Jami Heath, Wedding Planning Fairy Godmother Extraordinaire! There are so many reasons I’m glad I chose Jami as my wedding planner! From color-coded vendor timelines, to tablescapes, cake plates, wedding favors, flatlay photos, hand-lettered paper elements, velvet ring boxes, playlists of music, the list goes on! Jami truly leaves no design detail unturned and her thorough questions for your preferences will surprise and delight you. When your most special day finally arrives there is no one better suited to orchestrate your celebration of love. Jami remains completely calm and graceful no matter the circumstance. People may tell you “no wedding is without hiccups” but when I think back to my wedding, I don’t recall those because Jami swiftly handles it! She set tables to perfection, moved seating, fetched Coke Zero (my husband’s strict beverage of choice!), snapped Polaroids for our guest book, primped and prepped me as needed, wiped mascara smudges and veil fluffed, even going as far to stitch rips in my heirloom wedding gown mid-reception! We literally laughed so hard we cried! I never expected a wedding planner to pour so much love, energy, positivity and sheer joy into her “job”. And that’s truly because to Jami it’s not a job — it’s her calling! I couldn’t be more grateful she is written into the memories of my wedding day. Her love and care for me and our families will surely stay with me forever.

Hi there! I’m Genevieve! I am a huge dreamer (day and night) in vivid colors with dramatic details + styles of all settings. Weddings allow me to be creative while connecting with you and your creative side! On top of that I enjoy being organized! Thus, Days and Eves was born! My experience consists of a Bachelors in Business with over 10+ years of experience in hospitality specifically, Venues, Luxury Flower Design and Catering. I thank being a Gemini for being mutable to each couple. I can see each vision in my mind which helps me execute based on who you are and what you want to express as a couple in your union.

We are thanking our lucky stars that we had the opportunity to meet and work with Genevieve. On our first call with Genevieve, we were immediately impressed by how calm and professional she was. Genevieve was our day-of coordinator; however, she helped us stay organized with wedding planning at least three months in advance. She eased our nerves through each step of the process. She gave THE BEST recommendations for a florist and baker, and she helped us stay connected with all of our vendors. We loved that she was familiar with many, if not all, of our vendors already. She was incredibly kind, and literally brought all of the ideas we had in our heads to life. She also shared great ideas, such as using a polaroid camera for our guests to add photos to our guestbook. This was a hit at our wedding! It was also so fun and special for us to look through the polaroid photos. We are also grateful that she reminded us to order food to snack on while getting ready on wedding day. In short, our day turned out better than we could have imagined thanks to Genevieve's calm demeanor, kindness, professionalism, organization, and attention to detail. We highly recommend using Days and Eves for your wedding.

​Planning a wedding is hard! There are so many details that go into planning a successful event...especially a wedding. Not only do you need the big things covered (venue, food, music) but the smallest of details can make your day amazing...or stressful (did you remember to pack your comfy shoes?). You're inviting all of your family and friends to share this day with you for a reason. You not only want your day to be an amazing experience for you as a couple, but for your guests too. Let us help you do that. I've assembled a team of wedding ninjas, and we're looking forward to helping make your day the best it can be.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kellie, who truly went above and beyond to make our special day unforgettable. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she was a master of her work and had a genuine passion for creating memorable experiences and we HAD to work with her. During the planning stages, Kellie's attentiveness and helpfulness were outstanding. She regularly checked in with us to ensure that all the details were in place and that our vision for the wedding was being brought to life. Kellie provided us with an abundance of planning resources, from vendor recommendations to an incredible Excel doc with every planning resource you could need (we’re talking budget sheets, guest list tracker, packing lists, day-of timelines, etc), which made the entire process much smoother and less stressful. For every question or concern I had, Kellie had an answer. On the day of the wedding, I am speechless for how smoothly Kellie ran the show. From start to finish, her ability to juggle multiple tasks (and people) while remaining calm and composed was truly remarkable. We were able to relax and enjoy our day knowing that Kellie had everything under control. What struck us the most about Kellie was her kind and caring nature. She genuinely cared about us as a couple and went absolutely above and beyond to make sure our needs were met. She took the time to understand our vision and priorities, and her dedication to making our dreams come true was evident in every aspect of the wedding. Her attention to detail, organization, and professionalism were second to none. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that every element of the wedding was executed flawlessly. We cannot express enough gratitude to Kellie for her invaluable contributions to our special day. Without her expertise and dedication, our wedding would not have been the incredible event that it was. Kellie is truly one of a kind, and her passion for creating unforgettable experiences shines through in everything she does. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a wedding coordinator who will go above and beyond to make their dreams come true!

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.
