We worked with Francisco as our day-of wedding coordinator at the Josephine Butler Parks Center, and we cannot recommend him highly enough! From the moment we started working with him, he was incredibly thorough, organized, and clearly genuinely invested in making our wedding day as smooth and joyful as possible. In the months leading up to the wedding, Francisco helped walk us through the big checklist items for planning a wedding, ensuring we didn’t overlook a single detail while always being respectful of our choices and vision. His communication over email was always timely and clear, and our planning phone calls were always productive, efficient, and fun! One of the most valuable things he did was create a comprehensive vendor packet that centralized all final details—this was a game-changer! We didn’t have to worry about keeping track of updates or managing version control, as he seamlessly handled all communication and coordination with our vendors. His understanding of the venue layout, the timing with our photographer, and the logistics of transporting wedding items made the final decisions stress-free. We trusted him completely, and every detail turned out exactly as we’d hoped—or better! When it came time for the wedding weekend itself, Francisco expertly ran our rehearsal, navigating family dynamics with calm professionalism and making sure everyone felt comfortable and confident. On the wedding day, Francisco was a calm and reassuring presence, quietly in charge and gracefully keeping everything on track. As someone who’s very Type A and typically likes to stay on top of everything, I was amazed by how much I was able to relax and simply enjoy the day because I knew Francisco would be handling it all. Thanks to him, we could focus on celebrating with our loved ones, knowing everything was in the best hands. If you’re looking for someone who will bring warmth, expertise, and a true sense of calm to your wedding day, Francisco is your person. He made our wedding a dream come true, and we wouldn’t change a single thing. (Photos courtesy of Paperbird Photography!)

Hi there, I'm Melissa, but I go by Lissa. Welcome to my little corner of the internet- I'm so glad that you're here! I know that wedding planning can be a daunting process but I'm here to help navigate you through all of the craziness that comes with planning a wedding. I'm your planning BFF and hype-girl from the moment you get engaged to cheering you on as you bust a move on your wedding day! As a wedding planner and bridesmaid (x 10), I've seen pretty much every crazy scenario and I've got your back no matter what because you deserve the best experience possible! **Please inquire directly through my website**

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

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.

Peña & Co. grew from a love of weddings and bringing order to so many moving pieces and parts.

I have been coordinating and planning for 4 years, served over 40 couples, and was trained in the south in both Greenville and Charleston, SC.

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 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.

From the moment I got on that first phone call with Anna, I knew she'd be our day-of wedding coordinator. Anna Holowinsky isn't just in the wedding business... she's in the business of making each of her clients feel heard, understood, and cared for. It is so evident that everything she does comes from a place of love. On the phone with Anna, there were so many times where I thought to myself, "Wow, it's just like talking to an old friend!" She's hilarious, down-to-earth, and just an incredible human to work with. Anna took the stress out of wedding planning for us and instead, made it so that we could focus on all of the day's celebrations. I'm also just so inspired by Anna and the "why" behind her entrepreneurship. As someone who values family and relationships more than just about anything, it is beyond refreshing to see that in another person. From making our venue look like something out of a fairytale, to calming me down moments before the ceremony by guiding me through grounding breathing exercises, Anna took care of it all... and took care of me, too! We are forever grateful we booked Penderview Events for our wedding day and will recommend Anna and the team to everyone looking for an honest, enjoyable, and fruitful wedding coordination experience. Look no further -- she's the best. Thank you, Anna!

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!

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.

Amaka and her team took over like we wanted and literally covered everything. The best part was how they helped us save tons of money on our wedding. Don't be hesitant in booking. Book them with confidence and I promise you will not be disappointed. Everything about your wedding will scream luxury and will be well organized. The price you pay is well worth it Somehow they found a way to even get my husband involved in the planning process because Amaka made it a fun process. She also gave us a planning book to help keep track and our own personalized google sheet that literally had everything including our guest list and how everyone would be seated. Amaka was always available when needed and if she wasn't, she delegated someone else. My husband and I loved attending vendor visits with her and she would always offer to treat us to lunch/dinner whenever we had appts. They went ABOVE and BEYOND to make sure the wedding was blissful. I recommended her to a friend who has a destination wedding next year and they are already in love. A planning company that knows what they're doing, very honest with you rather than telling you what you want to hear and extremely resourceful. We also got to save on decor because they provided rentals since we booked the full service planning and Amaka with giving us tips on how to save on decor. We wanted them to actually do the decor :-( but they couldn't at that time and was honest about it. However, I am excited about ariscreationz doing the decor for my friend's wedding.

Friend's & family know me as being very organized, but (thankfully) I have never planned a wedding before, & there are just details and logistics that you don't know or think about. I no longer live in Maryland, but that didn't stop Veronica from being able to help me with her expertise. I purchased the 12-month virtual wedding planning package. We would virtually meet on Zoom once a month, but her secret weapon is a web portal that has everything you need to reference from customized timelines, budgeting, photo boards, vendors/contact info, & so much more! It also makes it very convenient to communicate through there. Instead of many emails or text chains about allllll the topics that will arise, you can post thoughts, questions, pictures, links, documents, & more. It will notify Veronica by email that you put something in Aisle Planner & she can read/respond & will get back to you within 24hrs. So although I did the 'virtual' package I never felt like I was alone or like Veronica wasn't there to help (she even video chatted with me at the final venue walkthrough 30 days before the wedding!) Even if you think you don't need help or it's not worth it, I promise that when your mental sanity is dwindling, especially towards the end with everything going on, you will be SOO happy you chose Veronica for either in-person or virtual wedding planning!

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.

From the moment we started working with her, it was clear she is a true professional and an absolute joy to work with.

Laura took the time to truly understand our vision, and she brought it to life in ways we couldn’t have even imagined. She was incredibly organized, ensuring every detail was accounted for, and her meticulous planning made our wedding day completely stress-free. What really stood out was how she managed to make the entire process enjoyable. Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but Laura’s positive energy, problem-solving skills, and creative ideas made it such a fun experience. Whether it was handling vendor coordination, managing timelines, or ensuring every little detail was perfect on the big day, Laura went above and beyond. Our wedding was truly a dream come true, and so much of that is thanks to Laura. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who is organized, communicative, and genuinely cares about making your day special, she is the one! Thank you, Laura, for making our wedding unforgettable!

Born and raised in Maryland, and will forever be a Maryland girl at heart. I relocated to Virginia in 2015 after graduating from the University of Maryland, College Park (GO TERPS). Completely self taught, a fire ignited in me after planning my own wedding in 2020 before the pandemic. I realized just how much I loved planning my wedding and wanted to share that passion with other amazing couples embarking on their planning journey. It's been a wonderful journey that I wouldn't trade for the world- full of countless memories, wonderful couples and amazing vendors!

Laura is simply amazing. She offers different clientele packages to serve everyone. She gave great recommendations regarding vendors to ensure I was truly getting what I envisioned. I highly recommend her and her team.

I’m so happy I got the chance to work with Michelle as my month-of and day-of coordinator for my August 2023 wedding. By the time we started working together a few weeks out from the big day, I was so tired and burnt out from planning and needed the help and support that she expertly provided. She came in hot with lists, templates, spreadsheets, recommendations, everything I could’ve hoped for to support me through the rest of the prep process. Most importantly, she made sure that everything that needed to happen was done correctly, on time, and in the way we needed. She was ON FIRE on the day of the wedding. Michelle was in the zone- creating beautiful centerpieces, coordinating each step of the event, and problem solving before I even realized there was something to be done. Thank you so much, Michelle. You helped make my wedding day absolutely perfect!
