Marta and the All in the Details Events and More team were an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first call, Marta’s communication style was professional, sweet, thoughtful, organized, and incredibly helpful. Marta went above and beyond just coordinating the day of - she made contact with all our vendors to ensure everything ran smoothly, coordinated our rehearsal, and decorated everything beautifully.

Hali and Leila made our wedding day run so seamlessly at a non-traditional venue. Hali was fantastic to work with prior to the wedding and listened to and executed exactly what we envisioned. We were truly able to step away from the operations and be fully present with each other, our families, and friends. Everything was set up beautifully and tended throughout the evening, and I had no idea when vendors arrived, setup, and left. I even learned after the fact that they ingeniously fixed the ceremony decor that kept falling over in the wind. They also managed to run a magic dessert table that was constantly full despite so many people taking cupcakes. I'm confident there are multiple other events that happened without my knowledge that made the day happen as it did. Hali and Leila were amazing to work with and if you are considering booking them for your wedding, do it!!

Hiring Johanna (and the whole JLM team) for our wedding was the second best choice I've ever made - only to be beat out by the decision to marry my husband! Johanna and her team were absolute rockstars from over a year out until the very last moment. If you are thinking of hiring her, just do it. It was the biggest help to have someone to guide us and tell us all of the things we needed to do and when we needed to do them. She was extremely thorough and made our wedding day seamless. So seamless, in fact, that we barely saw her on the actual day because she was so busy making everything come together. This was a huge help to us as she made sure we just floated through our special day. Johanna was present and ready to give helpful tips or feedback to every question we had. Not only was she all this, but she is extremely kind and understanding. She is so sweet and charismatic that I am so glad we got to go through this process together. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews

  • Serves Ashland, VA

About Thyme Events is a wedding planning company based in Central Virginia. Owner Elizabeth is a Virginia native who is passionate about planning weddings of all kinds, from intimate affairs to large celebrations. She'd love to help you plan your special day. About Thyme Events will meet with you in a consultation to help you determine which of their packages would suit you best. Elizabeth will get to know you and your vision in your consultation, before helping you design your perfect package. Whichever option you choose, About Thyme Events will let you relax and enjoy the planning process before delivering the wedding of your dreams.

I am a type-a personality, so I'm no stranger to detailed planning, but I knew it would benefit us to hire a wedding planner. That said, we didn't know HOW much it would benefit us until we did! If you are thinking of working with Elizabeth, I highly encourage you to have a conversation with her and (better yet) HIRE HER! We worked with Elizabeth Langley from About Thyme Events over 2025 for our February 2026 wedding. We could not have asked for a more wonderful person to help with the planning and execution of our wedding. From the very beginning, Elizabeth was enthusiastic and warm but was also focused and realistic. She kept us grounded in our planning, with periodic check-ins to keep us on track. She was available for pop up questions via phone/email as we mused our options, always encouraging and thorough in her answers, yet mindful of our big picture budgetary constraints with vendors and the challenges of organizing a wedding with several international guests. She helped us focus on the pieces of the day that mattered to us and helped us see elements we could eliminate to enhance our guests' experience of the day. Elizabeth kept our planning on track and always offered excellent, practical advice ranging from design suggestions to trusted local vendors (and some we had not considered in the Richmond & Gordonsville areas - we're based in Charlottesville). At our final walk through at the venue, we got a full sense of how Elizabeth worked confidently with vendor partners - her communication was clear, the plan was solid, and the mutual trust was evident. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, our lives absolutely went into overdrive - a perfect storm of unforeseen high-stakes work deadlines divided our attention away from the planning. Elizabeth had taken over vendor communication by this point, and it was a huge weight off of our shoulders knowing she was focused on our big day and the little (and big!) things that needed tending. But we largely don't know what those pieces were, because she was handling them! With Elizabeth taking over our wedding-day logistics, we were able to focus on having the best night of our lives with friends and family. On the day, she met our needs so well - giving us (bride & groom) breaks when we didn't know we needed them, helping orchestrate vendors and guests through the timeline, and moving decor in our multi-level venue. But through it all, Elizabeth was not just a vendor helping us out. She was a friend who celebrated with us, and having her at our wedding was an incredible privilege. If you work with Elizabeth for your wedding, you will have someone who is highly competent, energetic, and organized. But you will also have someone who will share the joy of your wedding with you and will elevate the day as only a friend can. -Elly & Achintya

One Twenty West is a wedding planning and design studio with roots in New York City, now based in coastal Virginia and working with couples across Hampton Roads, Richmond, Washington D.C., New York, and destination markets. We've spent over a decade producing high-end celebrations where the details are noticed, the standards are high, and the experience is everything. We design for couples who want abundance done with intention. The elevated tabletop, the lush florals, the activations that keep guests talking for years. And someone experienced enough to hold every piece of it so you can stay present for all of it.

I just had to take a moment to shout from the rooftops about my collaboration with Alisha. Holy matrimony, Batman! Working with Alisha was like hitting the wedding jackpot. From the get-go, it was clear that Alisha wasn't just about planning a wedding; they were on a mission to craft a love-filled masterpiece. Picture this: I'm a wedding photographer on a quest for those picture-perfect moments, and Alisha turned out to be the secret sauce to make it all happen seamlessly. First off, communication was on point! You know that feeling when you send an email, and you're anxiously waiting for a reply? Well, with Alisha, it was like I had a hotline straight to wedding planning nirvana. Quick responses, crystal-clear instructions, and a dash of humor to keep things light – it was a match made in vendor heaven. And let's talk about attention to detail. I thought I had an eagle eye for capturing moments, but Alisha takes it to a whole new level. Every tiny detail was meticulously planned, from the flow of the day to the color of the napkins. It was like a choreographed dance, and I was just there to capture the magic unfold. What set Alisha apart was their ability to roll with the punches. We all know weddings can be a rollercoaster of emotions and unexpected twists, but Alisha handled it all with grace and a smile. It's like they had a superhero cape hidden under that clipboard – swooping in to save the day without breaking a sweat. To sum it up, if you're on the hunt for a wedding planner extraordinaire who's not just in it for the job but genuinely invested in making your day extraordinary, Alisha is your person. I'm not just recommending them; I'm shouting it from the rooftops – go, team One Twenty West!

I couldn't begin to put into words just how amazing and incredible Tara was in making sure our magical day went off without a hitch. She was SO on top of it; she had a plan, and backup plan, for everything. My husband and I didn't have to think about anything the day of the wedding, she had everything under control and was especially good at getting me to relax and trust that everything was handled so we could just enjoy the moment. I could not imagine anyone doing a better job than Tara did, so if you are looking for a planner, or even a day-of coordinator, you would be doing yourself a disservice if you did not hire Tara!

When choosing a day of coordinator for our wedding, one of our top priorities was finding someone we could fully trust to execute our vision. From our very first phone call with Hallie, we knew that her and her team were the perfect fit. Hallie is incredibly kind, detail-oriented, and confident. She knows exactly what needs to get done and the best way to get it done. Her team members are also phenomenal and they all worked together seamlessly with our other vendors so that every detail was executed as planned. Aside from the flawless wedding day, Hallie took SO much off of our plate in the final few months by creating our timeline and coordinating with our other vendors to ensure everyone was on the same page. She asked us questions about details we wouldn't have ever thought of, which helped to create a magical, stress-free wedding day. It really could not have been any better. A member of our wedding party said "I have seen so many stressed brides day of but you were legit vibing". She is correct -- I am typically an anxious person but I was able to enjoy and be present in every moment for the ENTIRE day and I owe a lot of that to Hallie and her team. Thank you, Hallie & team, for helping Conor and I create the perfect celebration of our love on the best day of our lives.

Where do I even begin with Sarah?! I truly cannot put into words how AMAZING she and her team were throughout this entire experience. From day one, Sarah was there for me. Throughout an entire year of wedding planning, she stayed in constant communication, answered every single question I had (and never once made me feel like any question was a dumb one), and handled everything with so much patience, poise, professionalism, and class. But wedding day?! Sarah was quite literally EVERYTHING for me. She made sure everything happened exactly when and how my husband and I wanted it to. Any surprise, hiccup, or last-minute change that came her way, she handled it so gracefully that half the time we didn’t even know there was an issue — and THAT is exactly what you want on your wedding day! Not only was she an incredible coordinator, but she officiated our ceremony beautifully as well. She truly wore every hat and made sure we could simply enjoy our day without worrying about what was happening behind the scenes. Our wedding party, family, and guests are STILL talking about how amazing Sarah and her team were and how smoothly everything went. That alone speaks volumes. Sarah, THANK YOU will never feel like enough. Thank you for being there through the planning, for listening to us, advocating for what we wanted, keeping everything together, and helping make our wedding day everything we imagined it would be. You were such a huge part of making our day so special, and I will forever be grateful that we chose I Got a Love Jones Events. If you are looking for a coordinator/officiant who genuinely cares about her couples and will handle your day like it’s her own — BOOK SARAH. PERIOD. 10/10 — I would choose her all over again!

Where do we start. Our venue for our Friday, Saturday and Sunday events cancelled on us six weeks out, our bartenders sent our cake crashing to the ground and our florist really didn’t get it right. However, Morgan and company helped us manage all of it with grace and made the process as easy as possible on us. We felt incredibly grateful to have them be part of our day! They made the process much less stressful and the day of we could relax and know things were being taken care of. Exactly what we needed!! From literally chasing down our florist, her team having to come in hot with day of decor where the vendor messed up, to having to move our outdoor reception indoors due to unexpectedly cold weather, they never missed a beat.

Brittney was the wedding coordinator for my best friend's wedding in November, and I was getting married in March. I initially did not think I needed a wedding coordinator for my wedding, but watching Brittney's professionalism, organization, coordination, and level of service showed I NEEDED her for my big day! I asked her (after my friend's wedding was over) if she was available for my date and she said YES! Brittney assisted with all aspects of planning and was always available for any and everything I needed or had questions on. Her level of communication is outstanding. From planning, coordination with vendors, the exceptional timeline she created, etc., she was there every step of the way. The day of, I felt so relaxed and was able to enjoy my big day because I knew I had Brittney. We had a few issues with our venue (that I was not even aware of) because Brittney handled absolutely everything. Brittney went way above and beyond her call of duty, and our wedding day was absolutely perfect because of her. Brittney's level of dedication to her clients is unmatched. She is emotionally involved and becomes part of the family. I am SO thankful for her and our friendship. I know she will be our first call for when my younger siblings get married. I could NOT recommend her more!!!! She is essential for a stress-free wedding day. You will absolutely LOVE her as we do!!

House of Elleon is a luxury white-glove wedding and event planning & design studio founded by Noelle Cappuzzo, specializing in refined, editorial celebrations with an emotional core. Each event is a carefully curated experience where the client’s vision is executed with precision, elevated through thoughtful design, and brought to life with seamless flow. With a focus on enhancing the overall experience—not just the aesthetic—Noelle blends creative direction with logistical mastery so every moment feels effortless, intentional, and distinctly personal. Events are expertly produced, emotionally resonant, and elevated from start to finish.

I genuinely do not even know where to begin when it comes to Noelle because there are not enough words to explain how incredible she is. From the VERY beginning of my wedding planning process over a year ago, she handled absolutely everything and more. Any thought, question, idea, concern, crash out, or micromanaging moment I had (and trust me… there were MANY), I could text or call her at literally any time, and she was always there. Not once did she ever make me feel annoying, dramatic, or “too much.” Instead, she made me feel heard, understood, supported, and excited every single step of the way. What makes Noelle so special is that she doesn’t just “plan weddings.” She genuinely takes your vision and transforms it into something bigger and more beautiful than you could have even imagined for yourself. The ideas I had in my head for my wedding somehow came to life TIMES TEN. Every tiny detail was perfected. She thought of things before I even had to ask. She guided me through every decision while still making me feel like the wedding truly reflected me and my husband. And the professionalism? Insane. The organization? Insane. The patience? Saint level. She worked with my budget and constantly gave me options to still achieve the luxury, elegant look I wanted without making me feel pressured to spend beyond my means. She found almost all of my vendors, and every single one of them was phenomenal. The amount of compliments I still receive from guests weeks and months later about how beautiful, organized, and seamless my wedding was honestly speaks for itself. But what REALLY blew me away was wedding day itself. When I tell you I did not have a single worry in the world, I mean it. Noelle and her team handled EVERYTHING. She was genuinely a rockstar from beginning to end. At one point she literally did my late night McDonald’s run herself while her assistants stayed behind making sure me, my bridal party, and my family had everything we needed. Who does that?! That level of care is so rare. She treated my wedding like it was just as important to her as it was to me. Not only did she become my wedding planner, but over this past year she truly became someone so special to me and my family. My family and friends could not stop complimenting her professionalism, kindness, work ethic, and calming presence. I literally had my mom’s friends texting me asking for her information because they were so blown away by her. Noelle made wedding planning FUN. She made it exciting instead of stressful. Honestly, she makes me want to plan another wedding tomorrow just to work with her again. I’m truly going to miss our hours-long meetings spent perfecting every little detail because it all paid off in the most unbelievable way. I can confidently say my wedding would NOT have been what it was without her. She gave me the wedding of my dreams and more, and I will forever be grateful that I trusted her to guide me through one of the biggest moments of my life. I truly believe one day I’ll see her planning celebrity weddings because her talent is genuinely on that level. Thank you for everything, Noelle. I would choose you over and over and over again.

Mari and her team were very professional, personable, and responsive. Throughout the whole process I knew Mari was only a text or email away to offer guidance, clarification (wedding vendors can be confusing sometimes), or even just to be a sound board for thoughts and ideas. It was also a really nice feeling to be able to trust her with everything on the day of our wedding so I could be present and enjoy the celebration. I hope to get to work with her in the future on other events. Rachel F (bride)
