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

My name is Jennette and I would love to be a part of your special day! I got into wedding coordinating on accident! One random day a few years ago, one of my friends asked if I would assist her in a few of her weddings. From that day on, I have been working weddings and my interest in them grew! My company is named after my beloved doggie, Lilo. She is a boxer mix hound, and she is surely a sassy one! She is lively, fierce and isn't afraid to have a good time. My vision for Lilo Weddings is to deliver a stress free and memorable event while working side by side with amazing vendors on the couple's wedding day!

My name is Heath (DJ Tabasko) and I have to say working with Jennette has been a pleasure. She kept up with the timeline of a recent wedding with no downtime because as you know weddings tend to go by really fast. She was also a huge help with cue’ing me the songs for the ceremony and grand entrances because timing is everything. I’m very thankful I got to work with her and hopefully in future weddings.

From the moment a couple inquires with us to the time their wedding day arrives, every carefully curated detail serves the greater purpose of honoring their union and highlighting their unique love story.

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. 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.

This talented planner works across the East Coast, collaborating with engaged couples throughout Washington DC, Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, New York, and Pennsylvania areas. Will & Rose Events works with a personalized approach, taking the time to get to know your style and understand your vision for the day.

Ricki was the absolute best investment I made in my wedding. She was so easy to work with and is single-handedly the reason my wedding went off without a hitch. From our first meeting to loading up decor at the end of the wedding day, she was amazing, enthusiastic, and professional. She went above and beyond in dealing with vendors and took so much off my plate. 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. So much so that we didn’t realize anything had happened until the next day. I cannot recommend Ricki and her team enough!!

This helps me to help my clients in so many ways. I love all the details that go into every wedding. I love to put it all together and see the happy faces of my couples when it all does comes together. I am team YOU. It's your wedding, and I do my very best to make your day as stress-less as possible.

She took the time to understand what we wanted and actually listened. She knew how to stay within our budget and still provide us what we were wanting. I already recommended her to a friend of mine for their anniversary and I am confident that it will be a hit!

I really can’t say enough about how great Clarice is! She was so helpful in the planning process. Her recommendations for vendors were completely on point - with respect to both budget and personality. She was great at guiding us through what questions to ask of the venue and thought about everything we would never have thought to ask. However, day-of was really where she shown. She handled so many issues that we had no idea were even happening. We had such a blast at our wedding and so much of that was due to Clarice!

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.

Tilly & Teal Weddings And Events

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.

Tilly & Teal is amazing! I had the opportunity to work with Katie this month as a photographer, and she is incredible - down to earth, friendly, super talented, and puts the couple #1 every time. Over two incredible days, Katie managed every detail with grace and professionalism. She was incredibly organized and on top of every detail. I witnessed her regularly going above and beyond - from ensuring our bride and groom were calm throughout the day, to assisting with organizing details for flatlay photos, to so many hidden labors of love to make sure everything was as the couple envisioned and the experience was seamless for the couple & guests. I would not hesitate for a moment to work with Katie again. She is a true gem in the industry, and her talent and passion shine through in everything she does. Don’t miss the opportunity to have her leading your team!

Delia-Anne & Co

  • Offers 7 services
  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Gainesville, VA

Hello, future newlyweds! Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but I'm here to simplify the process and ensure your dream day reflects your unique love story. From incorporating your travels to featuring your beloved pup, I craft personalized weddings that leave a lasting impression. My experience fosters meticulous planning and a calm demeanor, so you can focus on the joy of your engagement. Beyond weddings, I'm a nature enthusiast and a devoted dog owner. When I'm not bringing dream weddings to life, you can find me exploring the outdoors or spending time with loved ones.

Delia nails it every single time. I have worked dozens and dozens of weddings with her since we first crossed paths 10 years ago. Ceremonies start precisely on-time, the timeline is expertly crafted and executed flawlessly, the logistics run smoothly, all the vendors have the info they need, details aren't missed, and the couple is able to enjoy their day without worry. Having someone like her on the vendor team makes my job wayyyy easier. She is organized, detail-oriented, responsive, easy to work with, and will stop at nothing to make your wedding day a success. She is sharp, decisive, quick on her feet, and will selflessly throw herself at any problem that crops up like a tenacious mother goose zealously defending her eggs from a hungry fox. In one particular instance, the catering company chosen by the client majorly dropped the ball on staffing and some critical items and it nearly trashed the entire wedding day. While any other coordinator would be sobbing in the corner as everything fell apart, Delia was undeterred and unfazed. She took over for the flailing banquet manager, corrected all the table settings and the layout, moved chairs, whipped the kitchen into shape, solved problems, directed the utterly clueless staff, served guests, poured wine at tables, tended bar, brought the couple a drink, bussed tables, restocked supplies, washed dishes, fed the vendors, and even took away the cell phone from a lazy high-schooler on the catering staff and threatened to call his mother to take him home if he didn't get back to work and do his job! While all this was going on, she was also keeping the rest of the wedding running with shockingly little delay to the schedule. She single-handedly saved the day. The clients and the wedding guests had no idea that anything was so terribly amiss behind the scenes thanks entirely to her herculean efforts. It was nothing short of legendary. This is just one example out of countless others that truly exemplifies how hard she works for each wedding. Her unwavering dedication and commitment to her clients, indomitable spirit, and exceptional work ethic is exactly why I highly recommend Delia-Anne to my wedding clients. Book. Delia. Now.

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!

We hired Stephanie for month-of and day-of coordination, and would 100% recommend her! There were so many details and moving parts, and she made sure everything was taken care of, and how we wanted it. She was also a pleasure to work with - very professional and responsive, and also kind and fun. We had our ceremony at a church, then the reception at another location, and working with Stephanie, we knew everything would be ready when we arrived at the reception. And it was! It was perfect! We had such a fun and happy day, in large part thanks for Stephanie. Don't hesitate to hire her!

When I became a bride in 2020, I quickly realized how much I loved the planning process. But online, I could only find information tailored to the really stressed out bride. Now, I am here to help newly engaged couples navigate all the new trends and decide what’s most important to them, while proving the planning process doesn’t have to be overwhelming.

There aren’t enough words to explain how much A Tid Bit Bridal did for my wedding! Megan was my fairy god mother. She was able to make what I visioned for my wedding actually happen! Then add in her husband Zane! They both made my wedding day the most perfect day ever in my life! Never once did I have to worry about if something was done correctly or say this isn’t what I wanted! Every week leading up to the wedding Megan would send me a list of to-dos and outstanding ones. She was able to keep me on schedule when I didn’t think I could. I will highly recommend Megan to any of my friends who are getting married! I will even tell anyone to pick Megan! Megan thank you so much for making my fairytale actually come true!

Like many in the industry, I fell in love with planning weddings when I started planning my own in 2017. At the time, I was a corporate lawyer at a big firm in DC and it just hit me: I was totally in the wrong field! Since then, I have dedicated all of my free time to arranging my own events, helping my friends plan their own, and dreaming of the day that I could provide the same service for others.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had an exceptional experience with Evermore Occasions for our wedding in August 2024, and I can’t recommend highly enough. Carmen’s expertise was evident from the beginning as they worked with us to expertly managed every detail. Through their AislePlanner app, we meticulously discussed and documented everything from inspiration photos and checklists to guest lists, seating charts, budgeting, and timelines. Carmen and her team were incredibly organized and kept us aligned with every decision. Their attention to detail was impeccable, covering everything from communicating with wedding VIPs to organizing the ceremony setup, reception seating, favors, place settings, and ensuring compliance with venue regulations. They even handled the napkin folds and breakdown with precision. On the wedding day, Carmen and her team guided us seamlessly through the timeline, which had the perfect amount of buffer to accommodate any unexpected changes. We were kept informed about any issues—like one guest feeling unwell—only as needed, allowing us to truly enjoy our day. The positive feedback from our guests about the event’s flawless orchestration was overwhelming. The day after the wedding, we were amazed to find that everything had been packed up and returned without any extra venue charges. This smooth transition is a testament to Carmen and her team's dedication and efficiency. Their patience and support throughout the planning process turned what could have been a stressful experience into a joy. I wholeheartedly recommend Evermore Occasions to anyone looking for top-notch wedding planning services.

I worked with Brittany from The Venlist on a series of styled shoots in Washington, DC. I can't say enough good things about this virtual wedding planning business. Brittany was organized, thoughtful, timely in communication, professional, and extremely calm under pressure. As a wedding photographer, I've worked with many wedding vendors and can recognize when an event is set up for success. Successful wedding planners need skills in time management, communication, and attention to detail. With The Venlist, all of these areas exceeded my expectations. I'd be happy to work with this business again, and I will be recommending them to my friends/clients in the DMV area. Do yourself a favor and reach out to Brittany with your business inquiry!

Teyanna and Essence of Flair was truly an answer to prayer. I had a vision of what I wanted for my wedding day and she executed it perfectly. From our first meeting, she listened attentively and made sure she understood the assignment. Teyanna never tried to push her own agenda, what I wanted was always top priority. She was patient and also provided insight that helped me not only in the decor of my venue but in other areas of my wedding. Teyana was absolutely amazing. My wedding ceremony and reception were perfectly decorated and they exceeded my expectations. When I walked into the ceremony and reception area I said this is what I wanted. Teyanna held my hand through the process. If there were negative things happening, I did not know because Teyana was so in control and positive. I got so many compliments on the decor. All I can say is Essence of Flair understood my vision and followed through. Teyanna went above and beyond. I would recommend her and Essence of Flair to anyone that is planning a wedding or any special event.

Denae is the most professional person I’ve ever met. From day one she had a plan and she was sticking to it. Throughout the entire process, Denae was there to calm my nerves. I was nervous about the big day but she made sure everything was perfect. Denae is very organized. Without her I’m not sure how our wedding would have turned out. It was magical. The venue was beautiful, the decorations were something straight out of a fairytale, the food was impeccable, and the music was perfect for the mood. With Denae the time and financial investment is more than worth it. She made us feel like we were her only clients. Our wedding was definitely an event to remember. We had such a great time. All of my guests wanted to know who put the event together and how they could get in touch with them. Our wedding was the perfect way to jumpstart our new life together. We are so grateful for Denae.

I'm a 30-something born and bred NOVA gal that's probably a little too brazen to be in the wedding industry but nearly seven years later, I'm still in it to win it! I've coordinated over 280 weddings & managed even more for venues! So I've seen some $#!t and have learned all of the tricks of the trade. When I'm not being a boss bitch on wedding days, I love to thrift shop, go paddle boarding, watch true crime, get tattoos and travel.

We hired Meghan Farrar as our day of coordinator for our April wedding at Rust Manor and would highly recommend couples hire her. From the very start, Meghan made us feel like we were her only clients. Her attention to detail was impeccable, and her organization skills were truly next level. Meghan was an organized, kind, reassuring voice for us while planning the wedding. She was also the only coordinator to let us know Virginia’s residency requirement regarding officiants. Meghan was super familiar with Rust Manor. In the countdown to our wedding, Meghan checked in to make sure things were going well, answer any questions we have, and organize us for the walkthrough. Though we hired Meghan primarily for the day of our wedding, she was available to us throughout the planning process. In the month run up to our wedding, Meghan greatly assisted us in organizing the little details of the day and coordinating with our vendors, many of whom had worked previously with her and were excited to work with her again. Prior to our wedding, Meghan coordinated with our various POCs for vendors and the venue, making sure they knew who to reach out to on the day of our wedding and the timing of the day. Additionally, Meghan helped us through some last minute changes due to unexpected events. She was incredibly accommodating and reassuring. On the day of our wedding, Meghan was everything we needed her to be and more. She managed to keep us on schedule, comfortable, and immensely helped our stress. Her kind words and warm personality shined throughout the day and made our wedding day all the more special. We would recommend Meghan for any future wedding. If you’re looking for someone who will not only meet but exceed your expectations, Meghan is your go-to.
