Sarah and the rest of the Events by Rose team were the MVPs of our wedding planning process. From the start Sarah took time to get to know us as a couple, to ensure our wedding day reflected who we are. Sarah was always 10 steps ahead, thinking about every little detail of our special day. Her organization was extremely impressive to see first hand. Even the vendors we spoke with face-to-face raved about her organization, professionalism, and how easy it is to work with her. I think it speaks volumes that everyone she interacts with (clients and vendors alike) love to work with her. She is outstanding at balancing all the moving parts of a wedding with ease, and always made sure we felt comfortable with every step of the process. Sarah always took the time to help us finetune even the smallest of details, making sure the day would include everything we wanted. So many of our friends have said the wedding process was one of the most stressful times in their lives, but we did not have that experience at all and this is hugely attributed to Sarah and her team. The experience was enjoyable and exciting, and we never once found ourselves overwhelmed. We would have never been able to make it to our wedding day while still having fun, if we didn’t have Sarah leading our team. On the day of our wedding, Sarah and her team were OUTSTANDING! We felt cared for by each member of the team and our guests felt the entire day flowed perfectly, all thanks to Sarah. Every small detail was planned out and went exactly as planned. Sarah went above and beyond, making sure we had everything we needed, all while managing our vendors and guests. If you are wondering if you should hire Events by Rose for your wedding the answer is absolutely yes! Thanks again Sarah and the Events by Rose team for everything you did, we literally could not have done it without you. You helped make our perfect wedding day a reality!

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! STH was also attentive to my emotions - there were times I had doubts about some parts of the wedding or when I was feeling overwhelmed and had a breakdown. In those moments, STH became more than a planner, she became a friend! I recommend to everyone I know!

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!)

We booked Teyanna in 2022 for our August 2024 wedding and did not regret it one bit. It was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Teyanna was beyond accommodating and informative throughout the entire process. Her precise, creative, and professional "client-first" mentality shone through. From countless Zoom calls to meeting up in person to select flowers, it was more than we could have asked for and were expecting. Her professionalism and creativity showed through when we had to improvise our outdoor ceremony to an indoor one thanks to a horrific tropical storm. She called us on the morning of our wedding to ensure we were doing okay and went over every detail with both my husband and me to make sure she and her team didn't miss anything. We cannot wait to work with Teyanna again in the future.

Megan was simply amazing and this is coming from the husband. I was reluctant to hire a wedding planner just to save the cost, but I have to say Megan was so worth the extra money, not just to give my wife peace of mind the event would run smoothly and on time, she was punctual when needed. On wedding day she was running around everywhere making sure that the venue was kept in order and the things. She gave a timeline down to every five minutes and pretty much kept to it, but was extremely flexible to change. As the groom, I had little to worry about to begin with haha, but I definitely saw the work that Megan put in. Of course it had to rain on the wedding day, but she had a full Contingency plan in place weeks before making it only a mild inconvenience. Her communication skills were immaculate. We video chatted with her several times, leading up to the event, making sure everything was in order. This included a final walk-through a few weeks prior to wedding day meeting at the venue to make sure that we had planned would work. As they say, happy wife, happy life. Turns out to be a true statement.

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.

I cannot recommend Lush Event Co. and Rachel enough!! Our wedding day was flawless! We chose her full-scale planning package and it was so worth it! We had just moved to Pittsburgh when we started planning and knew nothing about which vendors to use or even which venue to pick. Rachel made our lives so much easier by setting up tours of venues and finding us something that matched our vision and met our needs. Throughout the entire planning process, she was always available to answer questions and offer guidance. She kept everything organized on a Google Drive that we had access to and she was always available via email or text. Her knowledge of vendors in the Pittsburgh area was so impressive. Every vendor she recommended received a 5-star review. Any problems that came up with vendors leading up to the wedding were addressed so quickly by Rachel that I didn’t even have time to be stressed about it. I wasn’t worried about the venue, vendors, or the timeline going into my wedding day because I was so confident she knew exactly what we wanted and was so organized. She was on top of everything on the day of the wedding and ensured we had everything we needed and that the day ran so smoothly. If you are looking for an extremely diligent, organized, creative and professional wedding coordinator with a passion for her clients, I strongly encourage you to use Lush Event Co.

I work with clients directly from weeks to several months to help curate, design, execute making their dream come to fruition!

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.

Shaymah Ansari Weddings is a wedding planning company based in Washington, DC with three wedding planning assistants and one lead.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our very first meeting with Shaymah, we felt an overwhelming sense of trust and confidence. Beyond her professional expertise, Shaymah took the time to genuinely get to know us and our love story, which added a deeply personal touch to every aspect of our wedding day. Her expertise, dedication, and passion for her work were evident in every interaction. Shaymah displayed incredible foresight, setting up a rain plan that ensured our wedding would be beautiful, rain or shine. Her meticulous nature was evident when she obtained insurance documentation from each vendor, leaving no room for unforeseen issues. The detailed floor plan and the comprehensive task checklist she provided not only guided us in the lead-up to our wedding but also served as a testament to her thoroughness. Shaymah crafted an individualized itinerary tailored to our unique vision for the day, and proactively shared this with all vendors to ensure a harmonized and seamless execution. What we particularly appreciated was Shaymah's commitment to regular meetings, ensuring we were always on the same page. Her recommendations for vendors were invaluable, introducing us to professionals who matched our vision and expectations. On our wedding day, Shaymah was nothing short of exceptional. Every event, from the ceremony to the reception, flowed effortlessly under her watchful eye. Shaymah expertly coordinated our ceremony rehearsal, ensuring everyone was well-prepared, and then masterfully managed the actual ceremony, ensuring every moment unfolded exactly as envisioned. Her constant communication with us throughout the day reassured us that everything was under control, allowing us to truly soak in and enjoy every moment. Shaymah's adaptability in the face of unforeseen circumstances was exemplified when the ice cream truck mistakenly went to the wrong venue; she swiftly coordinated with them, ensuring they reached the correct location without a hitch. Additionally, Shaymah displayed tremendous thoughtfulness by ensuring all our gifts were safely secured and put away after the festivities, giving us one less thing to worry about. To say Shaymah went above and beyond is an understatement. We wholeheartedly recommend her services to any couple in search of a wedding coordinator who truly understands the intricacies and emotions behind a wedding. Thank you, Shaymah Ansari, for making our day genuinely magical!

Penderview Events truly went above and beyond to make our day PERFECT. As a DIY and meticulous bride, we knew Anna was the one we would entrust with our vision the moment we had our phone consultation; she was so incredibly sweet and enthusiastic about our big day, and I immediately felt a sense of ease that she will be able to handle all the shenanigans and i can pass her the torch with ease. Although she was hired for "day of", she assisted us in any way possible months leading to and made sure we were on top of all the important tasks leading up to the day of (i.e. vendors contact info, finalizing timeline for the morning/day of, etc.). My big day unfortunately started off disastrous (I became car sick), so I was unable to give guidance with the decor during set up. But since one of the tasks Anna asked me weeks prior was for a list with all the decor and how/where I wanted them placed, Penderview legit made my vision come true!!!!!!!! Penderview was so attentive, that they were even able to place some items which I gave no instructions for (i.e. last minute decided that we wanted wedding party to sit during the ceremony, so I made name placement cards for the reserved chairs, and without mentioning it, they were placed on the chairs in processional order). Penderview was able to execute every event and details on the timeline FLAWLESSLY, and I was able to enjoy the event with ease knowing that everything was in such capable hands. We felt and saw how invested Penderview was throughout the day in making it perfect for us, especially the attention to details and handling all the logistics smoothly behind-the-scenes. I also really appreciated Anna’s assertiveness when hiccups would arise (ie, making sure guests wouldnt be walking in while were ready down the aisle/stay out of view, wedding party prioritized drinking and forgot to come back for portraits; flower girls kept running infront of camera during portraits, and so many other headaches i did not want to deal with, etc.) Not only was Anna able to accomplish and execute my vision beyond expectations, but she was also my emotional support and my right-hand lady, making sure I was always hydrated. Anna’s empathetic and kind demeanor made her feel more like a close friend than just a ‘day of coordinator’. Hiring Penderview was the best investment we made. Thank you so much for making our day magical and we will forever be grateful to Penderview!!!

Hey there! We are so excited you stumbled upon our little corner of the wedding and event world! Working out of Howard County, Maryland and servicing the DMV and Eastern Shore, LoKel provides day-of coordination for the couple who has done most of the "ground work" and just needs a little help bringing it all together so you can focus on your day. Lauren (Lo) and Kelsey come together with their creative spark and years of experience in the wedding and events industry to bring your dreams to life. From grand ballrooms to backyard simplicity, the gals at LoKel have certainly done it all. We cant wait to meet you!

LoKel kept our wedding afloat (literally). From our first meetings to the day of, these two ladies were exactly what us as a clueless couple needed. They asked the questions that we would have never thought to have figured out while completely being supportive of our vision of a wedding. LoKel was able to help us navigate the unexpected Hurricane Ian for our outdoor at home wedding and helped ensure the most fun for our guests and us. They spent the whole morning setting up and I assume problem solving (because if there were any, LoKel took care if it without us knowing) I'd plan ANY event with these two and would encourage any of you to do the same.

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.

My venue for a Baby Shower brunch backed out at the last minute less than a full week before the event. I contacted Veronica and she immediately put me at ease and was able to reach out to her team and contacts. The next morning she already had options prepared. In 4 days we had a beautiful venue and excellent menu (Old Ebbitt Grill) while staying within our budget. She was a real life saver and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone and hope to have an occasion to utilize her tremendous skills in the future.

They were always on time for every meeting and well prepared. My officiant has done so many weddings. He complimented after the wedding rehearsal about how smooth it went and told us it was the best one and well structured. They were also very knowledgeable about what they do and had all the answers to our questions.
