Echo Event & Design

I'm Mary, the planner and heart behind Echo Event & Design. I work with couples who want a wedding that feels genuinely like them: not a template, not a trend, but a celebration that reflects who they truly are and what matters to them most. My approach is rooted in what I call permission over pressure: my job is to make sure you feel joy during this process, not anxiety, so you can be fully present for every moment of your own wedding day.

“My now-husband and I had the privilege of working with Mary Liniger, owner of Echo Event & Design, to plan our wedding. After we became engaged, we found ourselves going through an incredibly difficult time with family health issues and other circumstances in our lives. We quickly realized that we simply were not in a place to take on everything that came with planning a wedding, even a very small one. Mary stepped in and guided us through absolutely everything. From the beginning, she was incredibly empathetic, thoughtful, patient, and helpful. She gave us the space we needed to handle what was happening in our lives while taking the time to truly understand us and our vision for the wedding. Her compassion and willingness to have calls whenever we needed them made such a difference. She got to know us in the ways that mattered, which allowed her to ask the right questions and, at times, make decisions for us when we simply did not have the capacity to make them ourselves. And somehow, she always made the right ones. Mary was also incredibly respectful of our budget. She stayed within it throughout the entire planning process, and whenever we had concerns about cost, she found alternatives that were just as wonderful, if not better. She kept us informed about every detail, what needed to be purchased, and when it needed to be done. She even allowed us to have items delivered to her home so that she could bring them to the venue herself. On our wedding day, Mary was there to decorate, welcome guests as they arrived, coordinate everything behind the scenes, and make sure every single detail was exactly as it should be. Because of her, we were able to simply be present and enjoy our wedding. We truly could not have asked for anyone better. In all honesty, saying goodbye to Mary after the wedding was much harder than I expected. I realized that this person who had been such a kind, steady, and supportive presence during such an important and emotional time in our lives was someone I probably would not get to see regularly anymore. That alone says so much about who Mary is, not only as a wedding planner, but as a person. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with Mary is incredibly lucky. We will always be grateful that she was the person who helped us through this experience and made our wedding everything we hoped it would be.”

Kiara Acevedo is an event planner and designer with over seven years of experience bringing weddings and special events to life. With a love for thoughtful details, beautiful florals, and intentional design, she enjoys creating celebrations that truly feel like the people behind them. Alongside Carolina and Gabriela, Kiara works closely with clients throughout the planning process, from the first ideas to the final details. Together, they keep things organized, collaborative, and, most importantly, enjoyable. At the end of the day, the goal is simple: create a beautiful event, make the process feel easy, and make sure you enjoy it.

“Not only are Kiara and her team exceptional when it comes to weddings, but they are also amazing at planning and executing all types of celebrations. I had the opportunity to work with them when they helped my friends organize a surprise Halloween-themed party for my 30th birthday. From the food and lighting to the décor, ambiance, and overall vibe, they transformed an empty room into a truly haunted and unforgettable venue. Every detail was thoughtfully planned and executed to perfection. I 1000% recommend Kiara and her team. Their attention to detail and commitment to maintaining the highest standards clearly show how much they care about their brand and, most importantly, their clients’ happiness. If you’re looking for a team that can bring your vision to life and exceed expectations, look no further.”

“I wish I could rate Shining Time Wedding more than 5 stars! They were BY FAR the best vendor we worked with for our wedding. Our planner, Rina, was incredible from the very beginning. Even before we booked a venue, I knew choosing the right planner would be the most important decision for our wedding, and it was so important to find someone who understood my vision. The fact that they also excel at florals was an amazing bonus. In the days leading up to the wedding, Rina did everything in her power to make sure everything all came together: helping coordinate vendors, even through tight time constraints and restrictions. I don't know how she did it, but she made it work! It truly was the most beautiful wedding I could have imagined for myself, and I’m so grateful to Rina and the entire Shining Time Wedding team for bringing it to life.”

“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.”

“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!)”

She's direct, but always polite, incredibly responsive, and constantly thinking about what's ahead, including contingencies, reminders, and all the little details that could fall through the cracks. As an experienced project manager, I can confirm Michelle's got your back.

I am a wedding planner certified by the Wedding Planning Institute at George Mason University. I am based in Springfield, VA, and work throughout the DC, MD, and Loudoun County, VA. As a fun-loving, adventure-craving 20-something, I am also your girl for destination weddings at any spot on the globe! I discovered my passion for wedding planning while designing my own.

I quickly discovered the joy of creating that special day that people have been dreaming of their entire lives and, soon after, launched SWP.

“Mari is IT. My husband and I met with a handful of coordinators who all seemed qualified and capable, but none that seemed to vibe with our energy UNTIL we met Mari! Right away she was calming and tuned in and warm. She felt like someone we would hang out with but then make that person an organizational wizard.As first time wedders, who had never imagined a specific wedding day aesthetic or theme, we would frequently worry this whole thing might not come together. But IT DID under Mari's expert guidance! And not only was it a big success (imo) she also never made us feel dumb or wrong or like bad engaged people for breaking tradition or for asking if we need Welcome signs. Mari was very good about holding us to our deadlines but not hounding us. When we felt like we were months behind she assured us we were in a good place.And then the day of the wedding, Mari and Anjeanette, were like the 1992 US Men's Olympic basketball team! Just two pros moving seamlessly, never missing. If we had a question, they had the answer before we asked. I always wondered how weddings happen without the bride and groom being pulled in every direction. Elle Events is how.”

Stepping in last minute is no small task, yet she handled it with grace and professionalism. Benies quickly got up to speed and even helped us define our vision.

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 absolutely loved working with Carmen and are not exaggerating when we say we couldn’t have gotten married without her. We got the full planning package over about 18 months, and with our busy lives I highly recommend people in a similar position doing the same. Carmen worked with us to source amazing vendors (we got compliments on our band, florals, string quartet, etc.) and she had a great way of providing her helpful opinion without leading the witness. She truly knows everything about weddings and could answer any small or large question we threw at her. She timed everything right so that we nailed down items like transportation early and got into the finer details later on. She has an excellent sense for design and she carefully built design plans for each night of the wedding. As we got closer to the wedding day, Carmen coordinated with all our vendors and sent out an amazingly detailed plan to both vendors and the wedding party/family that had them well prepared for the big day. During the wedding weekend, she kept everyone coordinated, jumped into action when things went a little off-plan (even somehow arranging for an extra dress to be delivered when there was a spill!), and communicated updates to us calmly. She even got us a coffee pot brewed on wedding night when we needed an extra boost. She’s easy to work with, extremely smart and knowledgeable about weddings, and thorough. Really can’t recommend Carmen enough, she is the best!”

“From the moment we booked Day of Enchantment Events, we knew we were in good hands. On the first phone call, we could tell she was extremely experienced and very thorough. Ashley was incredibly thoughtful, direct, friendly, and quick in her communication, making the planning process stress-free. Her attention to detail and organization was top-notch —her mother-daughter team seamlessly navigated all vendor questions, handled last-minute issues with ease, designed our beautiful ceremony space, and anticipated our every need. The value they provided was well worth the investment, as they truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day run so smoothly. She even shot beyond the scenes videos/snippets of content that she willingly shared with us after the day (so appreciated and not something I had even thought of—but such a gift to watch back!!). If you are on the fence about getting a coordinator, this is your sign to DO IT and book them!!! We could not have done it without Ashley and Laurie. Our wedding day truly was enchanting thanks to Day of Enchantment Events.”

“Courtney review Courtney was the coordinator for our Sunday afternoon wedding at Patterson Mansion in Dupont Circle. From the moment we met, her joyful energy exuded from her and I knew that she would do everything she could to ensure we felt the same way. And she way over delivered! Courtney was organized and extremely communicative with us and our vendors. She had a clear sequence of agenda items for our check ins and was always on time and prepared. This was all wonderful and set a strong foundation for the day of. Courtney truly went above and beyond on wedding day. She set up the room more beautifully than I ever could have hoped for and brought tears to my eyes. She handled unexpected guests with calm and poise and ensured everyone had a place to be and a meal to eat. I’m sure many brides understand that I was about to lose my mind, but Courtney just had it. She made it happen and I didn’t have to think about it at all. It was an absolutely gorgeous day and so much of that is thanks to Courtney’s presence, organization, energy, and kindness. Highly highly highly recommend working with her!”

“I found Shaymah Ansari Weddings through ChatGPT, and hiring Shaymah for my July 2 wedding was one of the best decisions I made.

“From the moment we started working with Brandy and the MIR Events & Travel team, we knew we were in good hands! Their communication style is incredibly responsive, especially via text and email, and they provided so many helpful suggestions for us to consider in planning our wedding. The quality of their work and the value they provided was truly exceptional - they were generous, supportive, thoughtful, efficient, and incredibly experienced. Brandy and her team did an excellent job pivoting the morning of our ceremony when the ground was still too wet from recent rainfall and called for a new setup. Additionally, Brandy and her team were kind and engaging with my whole family and our guests, generously brought votive candles and a portable karaoke machine microphones, checked in and regularly offered support, and deftly handled setup and coordination of vendors across three locations on our wedding day. She's amazing! I highly recommend MIR Events & Travel for your wedding planning needs!”

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 have now worked with Jessica both as a vendor for her wedding clients, and as a client of hers for my wife and I’s wedding. From start to finish Jessica does a phenomenal job of managing challenges, staying ahead of potential issues, proactively communicating, and taking great notes on check-in calls. Many times during our wedding planning process Jessica asked us about things we needed to start thinking about well in advance of when decision time was critical. This allowed us not to stress to much about decision making until the right times, but still consider things in advance so we weren’t blindsided by anything or forced to make any last-minute decisions. Jessica has a great network of vendors she has worked with but also does a great job integrating vendors she hasn’t worked with before. We had a mix of vendors she was and wasn’t familiar with for our wedding but everything ran smoothly on our wedding day, Jessica handled all the logistics so we could really enjoy our day! From the vendor perspective, I’ve worked with Jessica on several events and I can tell you as a videographer she makes planning extremely easy for the vendors participating in said event. She makes an incredible wedding website for each event that makes sure all the vendors have consistent information and up-to-date information. She also makes it easy for vendors to connect where it’s necessary to collaborate like the DJ and videographer or the caterer and the rentals team. Every wedding I have worked with Jessica on, including my own, has been a great success in large part due to her fantastic leadership, planning, and problem solving skill set!”

I have been planning weddings and events for 17 years. After college, I worked as a meeting planner for several years, while also earning my International Wedding Planning Professional certification (IWPP). My love of special events is what convinced me to start my own business. I love working with clients to create their perfect vision. My goal is to take away the stress of the day so that my clients are able to enjoy themselves. I am able to help by suggesting venues and vendors, site visits and contracting, communicating and working with vendors, on-site coordination, setup, and post-event cleanup and follow-up.

“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.”
