Sincerely, C Events & Design 

5.0

  • Offers 4 services
  • Serves West River, MD

We are an event planning company based in Northern Virginia right outside of the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. The company was founded in 2021, but the concept started back in 2015. This business is beginning to take off, and would love to make that possible.

Cynthia is the absolute best! She is a close friend, but she offered her services after I realized how much there goes into wedding planning without my fiancé at the time, as he's in the military. He was very much "Cynthia is my eyes and ears," and Cynthia kept him up to speed on experiences and other perspectives when it came to decisions. She was there when I picked out my wedding dress, helped find the wedding cake and rehearsal dinner venue, and helped create a vision board for my flowers and the decorations at the venue. I had gotten most of my vendors by the time I contacted her, but the last few were tricky, and Cynthia did the research to show me all the other viable options we could pick from. Cynthia will be there tooth and nail to comb through the contracts and make sure we were set with our deadlines. She was there to support and defend me with the vendors I did not have great experiences with and ensured everything went smoothly. I would recommend her to anyone having a significant event like a wedding, proposal, or shower, as Cynthia was able to do it all: planning, coordinating, budgeting, and all. Joseph and I couldn't have been able to accomplish all we did without her help, and we are so glad to be able to call her our friend.

My husband and I were lucky enough to snag Hannah as our full wedding planner. We had no idea how lucky we had gotten at first- but I kept waiting for the moment I kept hearing about, when I would be so stressed out from wedding planning and just want to get it over with, but with Hannah as our planner that never happened. Not only did I have the most perfect/magical wedding day, my husband and I enjoyed the process and made a friend in Hannah. Hannah is extremely organized and professional- but she truly outshines due to her warm heart and desire to make her customer’s wishes come true. I will forever be grateful that I chose her and that she worked so hard to make our wedding what we wanted. I seriously cannot express how much I recommend her to anyone getting married!

I'm Charissa owner & lead planner. My doormat says it best, 'running on coffee, wine, and the dog's time', but seriously I start every intro call with the disclaimer that you may hear the barking, snoring, or a squeaky toy in the background. I'm the twenty-something-year-old that's gone from throwing "Weddings" in her neighbor's driveway, to throwing them in some pretty amazing spaces. With over a decade of experience in weddings and corporate events, this isn't my first rodeo. Weddings are sort of my thing!

Awarded Best of Zola
I highly recommend Charissa and her team if you're looking for a wedding coordinator/planner! She is so professional, organized, and just the nicest person ever. We had so many questions and worries but Charissa helped us feel at ease throughout it all. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND on the day of the wedding... literally hauling extra chairs with her throughout the botanic gardens so we could get our photographs!! LOL! You can just tell how much she cares about her clients and we so appreciated the effort. We also had Kevin on her team set-up the decor at the venue and they did an amazing job -- we were blown away when we arrived! We got tons of compliments from our guests at how lovely the entire wedding was and I know we could not have pulled it off without Charissa / Simply Loved Weddings!!

Hi! My name is Allie Gee and I am the owner of OMGee Events. Since we will be spending a lot of time talking and getting to know each other, I thought I would start by sharing some info about me: I'm a retired professional dancer & current dance teacher. I also modeled & have walked in NYBFW. I'm came out as queer later in life & have been loving every minute of it. I love dyeing my hair different colors. My favorite genres of music are disco, funk, & pop music. My spouse & I love to travel & have visited 9 countries so far. There's no such thing as too many house plants. I have a cat (Filly) & a dog (Finn). I can't wait to get to know you!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Allie from OMGee Events for our wedding, and we cannot recommend her highly enough! From our very first meeting, Allie was warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our special day perfect. Allie took the time to understand our vision and preferences, helping us navigate through the planning process with ease. She was always happy to join us at vendor meetings, offering her expertise and insights, which made the decision-making process so much smoother. Her attention to detail was impeccable—she anticipated every need and ensured everything ran smoothly on the day of the wedding. What truly stood out was Allie's incredible adaptability. As new elements were added to our wedding and plans needed to change, she remained unfazed. Her ability to handle unexpected situations with grace and poise gave us confidence that everything would be taken care of. On the big day, Allie was a calming presence amidst the excitement. She knew exactly when to gently push us along to the next event and when to let the timeline slide a bit, allowing us to savor those precious moments. Her coordination with our vendors was seamless, and she handled any hiccups behind the scenes without us ever having to worry. She knew when to encourage us to move to the next event, and when to forget about the timeline and indulge in a special moment Thanks to her organization, attention to detail, and warm personality we were able to fully enjoy every moment of our celebration. If you’re looking for a wedding coordinator who is professional, passionate, and truly cares about making your day special, look no further than Allie at OMGee Events. Thank you, Allie, for making our wedding day an unforgettable experience! We love you!

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved having Sarah as our wedding planner! We used her as our day of coordinator for our wedding at Rosewood Farms in September. As someone who thought they were an organized person, Sarah exceeded our expectations of what organized looks like. We had our first meeting with her about 6 weeks prior to our wedding day. I went into the meeting feeling nervous and anxious about all the things we had left to do and all the details that still needed to be decided on. Sarah gave us great advice on linens (I’ve never thought about linens in as much detail until I met Sarah lol), timeline, table layout, and all of the logistics throughout the day. We left our first meeting having our entire wedding day timeline planned out from the moment we got to the venue at 8am until we left at 10pm. Safe to say we left that meeting feeling much better and knew that we were in great hands. Fast forward to our wedding day and we can confidently say that it was everything we dreamed of. Sarah executed my vision of what I wanted our reception space, cocktail hour, and ceremony space to look like perfectly. She made sure we were taken care of all day long. She had our cocktail hour food and drinks ready for us right after the ceremony and made sure that we got our preferred drinks right before last call. She kept everything on schedule and I don’t think we had a single hiccup all day long (and even if we did we didn’t know about it). It also helps when all of your vendors have worked together multiple times and get along great. We had such a great team! On top of giving us our perfect day, Sarah is also the sweetest person to work with! She supported our decisions and gave her input and expertise when we needed it. I felt comfortable giving her creative discretion because I felt like she listened and understood my vision in our meetings. I would highly recommend Sarah for any wedding planning services! She is organized, attentive, supportive, hard working, and easy to get along with! I can’t thank her enough for giving us our perfect day!

Petite Planning was born from our own wedding planning journeys, where we felt lost, completely unsure if we were getting a good deal or not, and overwhelmed with all the resources online nowadays about how to plan a wedding.

These diverse experiences allow us to fully understand what it's like trying to plan a wedding while juggling everything life throws at you. We're here to make the process seamless for our couples, while keeping it fun!

Kaity Campbell Weddings & Events LLC

  • Serves West River, MD 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.

When I began my business over 20 years ago, I made a conscious decision to stand apart from other planners. I wanted to be available, tuned in and ready for anything. I bring a unique skillset, a dedication and a very personal approach to my business. I do not offer packages, instead giving to each couple whatever they need from me- my time, my expertise, my network. Your wedding is my top priority! And, I resolve to make every wedding a smashing success. With a 30+ year background in hospitality and events, you won't find a planner with more knowledge or experience. I have traveled the East Coast making magic- Let's Make Yours!

Angel of Hearts Weddings and Events went above and beyond our expectations! At first, we thought we could handle everything on our own. However, we decided to find someone to help us and we are glad that we did! Wendy works extremely hard to ensure that everything will work out on your special day. She is dedicated to you and your significant other throughout the wedding process. Prior to our amazing wedding, she figured out an efficient and well thought out timeline. We had our challenges with our wedding to do list, but Wendy took over and completed each task! We were stressed, but she made sure to reduce our stress by taking charge. She advocated for us when we faced unexpected challenges. She communicated with all of our vendors and made sure that everyone was on the same page. We are extremely grateful for Wendy’s expertise, guidance and support! She is a true wedding Angel that watches over you every step of the way.

Ryan Planning Plus is an inclusive celebration planning business located in the Central Pennsylvania area that offers multiple customizable packages ranging from basic day-of-event coordination to full event planning and design. The RP+ crew is armed with big hearts - and big spreadsheets - and cannot wait to go above + beyond for you! Reach out to schedule a complimentary discovery session to see if RP+ is a good fit for your event needs!

We booked Erin and her team with the Just the Deets package. This is her "lowest" level of service despite the thorough and consistent support she provided throughout the entire planning process. Erin is organized, readily available, and is a constant bright spot in wedding planning! She was a fantastic resource to bounce ideas off, ask questions, and make sure we were on track throughout our planning. She is a wealth of knowledge- especially if you are getting married at The Willows at Ashcombe Mansion, a venue she is at frequently and knows like the back of her hand! Erin will tell you her opinion when asked, but is always ready to jump in 110% no matter what you choose and make it happen (Sorry for making you nervous when we gave our crazy pup our actual rings!!!). She is ready to play the "bad guy" when you need a small army, and can fluently switch to whatever language groomsmen speak to wrangle them quickly for rehearsal. Knowing Erin and her team had the day HANDLED, I walked into my wedding day stress-free knowing that there was nothing I needed to do or worry about. I never would have guessed that I would have described myself as a calm bride the day of my wedding, but Erin made it easy. I was able to truly enjoy the day because of Erin, and I wouldn't trade that confidence or peace of mind for anything! If you're still looking around or debating whether or not to book with Ryan Planning Plus, do future you a favor and just book with them now! Unless you don't like feeling like a VIP client, would prefer to worry on your wedding day, or simply like to make bad choices... then sure, book elsewhere ;) Otherwise, if you want to have the smoothest wedding experience possible, book with Erin!!!

My name is Steph Stanglin and I am an experienced wedding and special event planner! My goal is to create lifelong memories for my couple through beautiful, customized bridal events. Some fun facts about me are: I have 2 cats (Milo and Kiro) and 1 dog (Rory), My goal is to visit every state and continent before I turn 40, I'm a certified Swiftie, and Reality TV and chocolate are my guilty pleasures. Most likely to be seen carrying a binder and crying at first looks and vows.

I cannot say thank you enough to Steph! She was absolutely amazing. She was so committed to learning what aspects of the wedding were most important to us and making sure they happened on the day of. For example, we were getting caught up in the dancing and were going to skip the cake cutting. She didn’t push, she just asked, “Are you sure? You told me that this was something that was important to you, so I just want to check”. And I’m so thankful she did that, because it’s one of my favorite wedding moments! She went absolutely above and beyond for us. I am currently in medical school and was so stressed leading up to the wedding, but Steph made me feel like it was possible. She was so organized and wrote out every detail we discussed. She went out of her way to suggest some vendors we were struggling to book last minute, and the list goes on. I cannot recommend Steph enough. She is wonderful and sweet and kind and I cannot believe I found her! We could not have done it without her.
