We cannot recommend Lelia and Forevermore Weddings highly enough! From start to finish, Lelia was beyond amazing and played a huge role in making our wedding day at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts absolutely perfect. We chose the partial planning option with Forevermore and felt like we had more than enough meetings with Lelia in the year leading up to our wedding. What impressed us most was how seamlessly she handled everything behind the scenes. On our wedding day, there was an issue with one of our other vendors, and Lelia took care of it completely without ever bothering us. We didn't have to worry about a thing and were able to stay focused on celebrating with our family and friends. It wasn't until later that we learned just how much she had done to resolve the situation. Throughout the planning process, Lelia was organized, responsive, professional, and genuinely invested in making our vision come to life. She helped with each important decision, and also made the process fun! We really felt like the intention we had for every piece of our wedding day was executed to perfection. We feel incredibly lucky to have had Lelia as our wedding planner and are so grateful for everything she did for us. If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond for your wedding, look no further than Forevermore Weddings. Thank you, Lelia, for making our special day unforgettable! -Kayla & Roy

I’ve always been drawn to bringing people together and creating experiences that make memories last a lifetime. With 8 years within the event industry, I’ve had the privilege of helping couples turn their vision into a reality that’s both beautiful and stress-free. My combination of creativity, attention to detail, and genuine love for celebrating love is what makes me truly invested in every couple I work with.

Kathy was an absolute blessing throughout our wedding planning process. She was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and always available to answer any questions we had along the way. She made planning feel fun and stress-free instead of overwhelming. She truly went above and beyond in every way — from ironing linens the night before to helping clean up after a full day of coordinating. On the wedding day, everything was executed so seamlessly and smoothly that we were able to fully enjoy every moment. We truly could not have asked for a better coordinator!

I got married in a courthouse and was convinced I could plan everything myself. But! There are always details to forget, timelines to miss, etc. Cassidy was so kind throughout the entire planning process. She took care of everything.

I have spent the last 8 years planning, coordinating, and running events, conferences, and weddings. When the world froze during COVID, I continued my studies and got my Certified Wedding Planner certificate. It has been beyond fulfilling to bring families together and be a part of couples’ love-filled, special day.

From the bottom of my heart, we wouldn’t have the wedding we did without Fern and Mason. She went above and beyond in making sure that not only our visions came to life, but we were also taken care of as bride and groom. She was so attentive throughout the entire process and dealt with my craziness and anxiety, reassuring me that she would do everything in her power to make all of our dreams come true. From messaging Fern in the wee hours of the morning, to Mason rolling tables to the tent in torrential downpour, this duo does not quit to make everything perfect. I have not stopped thinking about our wedding for a second since it has happened and how perfectly everything went!! Not only am I lucky enough to call them friends, but I am even more grateful to have trusted them with the most important day of my life. I truly could go on and on about these two. I couldn’t think of anyone better to do the job and will be recommending them to anyone stepping foot into the insane wedding planning world. Trust them and all your dreams will come true.

Hello I'm Katelyn owner and lead planner for Champagne Wishes. Congratulations on your engagement and thank you for clicking on Champagne Wishes' profile. The CW team is very dedicated to every client, and work incredibly hard to help you throw the wedding you have been dreaming of for your guests. We work with you every step of the way. No wedding is the same; it never should be, and we always treat it as such.

Awarded Best of Zola
Champagne Wishes helped us plan and execute our 75-person wedding in June 2025 in just four months – we’re not sure how we would have done it without them! Starting from our consultation, Katelyn was extremely personable and encouraging. We were of course nervous about our tight timeline, but she quickly made us feel at ease. She honored our vision, asked the right questions, and helped us be decisive during the planning process when we needed it. Sulli took over as our day-of-coordinator and did an amazing job memorizing our timeline and all the small details of the day. She managed parking attendants from CW and tricky traffic down our venue’s one-lane road with ease, ensuring our guests had a seamless experience. Both Katelyn and Sulli were great communicators, answering our many questions in a timely manner and handling all communication with the vendor team as we approached the big day. The best testimony of how well they worked together was that after the wedding we had multiple guests and even fellow vendors remark on how smooth and effortless the day felt. We are so grateful to the entire team and we highly recommend Champagne Wishes for all your wedding planning needs! As a side note, we also worked with CW for some day-of rentals such as gorgeous wooden benches for our ceremony, cocktail tables, and LED candles. They have a large, well-priced inventory and it was super convenient to get everything in one place. Definitely recommend taking a look!

It was easy to stay in synch during the wedding as she was totally on top of the timeline, even when encountering the odd delay or curveball. And talk about gorgeous results! From the venue setting to the floral arrangements to the guest experience, everything was right out of a magazine spread. Skyler Events has the situation in hand and they come highly recommended from this seasoned vendor.

From our first conversation with Sarah at I Got A Love Jones Events, we knew we had found the right planner for our micro wedding. She was realistic about her schedule and responsive to our needs, stepping in to contact my husband when I couldn't and confirming that our vision was exactly what we needed. Sarah had a gift for calming our nerves before the ceremony with her thoughtful words, helping us feel grounded instead of overwhelmed as we walked down the aisle. She offered practical ideas that felt doable and made us feel secure in our choices, never making us second-guess ourselves. Even when I was running behind on the day, she stayed patient and flexible, keeping everything on track so the whole event unfolded smoothly.

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!

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!

The quality of her work and the value she provided was excellent-- she is hard-working and was incredibly considerate throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond, offering to bring additional decorations and even showing up the day before to assist with our traditional Vietnamese Tea Ceremony, which was not even on the same day as our official wedding. We had only hired her for her day-of coordination package, but even so, she was a consistent voice and helping hand for us for months leading up to the wedding. I can only imaging if we would have booked her whole wedding planning service, our wedding probably would have somehow been even more perfect than it already was.

Jenny, aka Opal Avenue Events, was a dream to work with! I reached out very early in the wedding-planning process to ask if she’d be available to be our day-of-coordinator for our non-traditional wedding, and I am so glad I did. From our very first conversation, Jenny was excited to help us plan and organize a South Asian-fusion wedding, instead of being deterred by the inherent challenges of doing something different from the norm. When I later asked her what she thought about centering swans, roses, tomatoes, and ribbons, she was even more enthusiastic and was ready to help ensure the vision would come true, while calmly listening to any concerns we had throughout. Planning a celebration that would coherently combine cultures with very different traditions was daunting, but having a professional who guided us through the process and validated our choices was truly invaluable. Throughout the planning process and on the day itself, Jenny was calm, prepared, and consistently professional. She went far beyond what we expected from a day-of coordinator, offering thoughtful insights into other potential vendors, drafting multiple timelines, and even creating beautiful and elegant swan place cards for our guests Above all, we wanted our guests to feel welcomed, loved, and to have a memorable experience, and Jenny helped make that happen. We are so thankful for her care, creativity, and support.

Telling your love story through creative design begins with mindful relationships with our couples & a dedication to your wedding like no other.

Working with Mia and Little Acorn Events was the best decision we made during our planning process, hands down. After a very rocky start to our planning process with another wedding planner, we were extremely skittish to hire another planner, but after our first call with Mia, her genuine care for her couples and belief that everyone deserves a joyful and low-stress engagement came through so clearly. Mia has the lovely combination of being immensely capable and a delight to spend time with, which is important when you are deciding someone you will spend so much time working with and who will be by your side on your wedding day. We sincerely looked forward to our calls and meetings with Mia, and having her calm and joyful presence by our side on our day was a gift. Mia's hard work and kind personality mean that she has an amazing reputation with local vendors. Having that history of trust and good will as the basis for our relationship with the vendors meant we got to work with the very best local vendors who were excited to be a part of the team. We had some big life changes happen during our wedding planning season and Mia was understanding, flexible, and allowed us to focus on the fun parts of planning while taking the most stressful parts off of our plate. She took our day seriously and treated it with the utmost care, while seeing the big picture of life and not feeding into the wedding industrial complex :) One of the best parts of working with Mia is her intentionality in creating moments throughout the day where you and your partner get to soak in the moment and be present. We had seen her calm confidence and skill throughout the planning process, and so had the trust established to simply be able to relax, enjoy the moment, and take it all in when the day came. And isn't that what it's all about?

I wish I could get married again just to spend more time with Carice and Pinnacle Affairs! As a wedding planner myself, I definitely am pickier than most when it comes to my vendors, but Carice exceeded my wildest dream. She went above and beyond her role as officiant and stepped in silently and seamlessly to fill any gap she saw throughout the day. She coordinated my rehearsal, sewed my dad's bow tie minutes before the ceremony, delivered a stunning ceremony and vow exchange, and effortlessly conducted the chaos around us, all the time with a beaming smile on her face. I will always be indebted to Carice for making my wedding the absolute dream that it was!

Words cannot describe how incredible our day was and how much joy we felt having the JLM team there. Johanna’s wedding industry knowledge is incredible and beyond what we expected. We had a private property wedding with lots of tent permit/alcohol license questions that needed answers. Johanna not only helped answer all of our questions, but gave us the confidence to sit back and enjoy our day! She was punctual and always a ray of sunshine! We also had a specific vision for the table settings and ceremony. JLM executed the decor flawlessly. We also hired Danielly to capture short “content creation” videos. This was THE BEST decision we could have made. It was such a treat to see our wedding in little snippets that we can have for the rest of our lives!

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.

Genevieve and her team just finished working with my wife and I on our October 11th wedding. We used the Event Management package and are so happy we did! We spent the last year booking all of all vendors and working on all the fine details of decor, music, and signage etc. We started working with Days and Eves to help close all of the open gaps and work on the day of timeline. We thought we had all questions answered but we certainly did not! It was so helpful to have the team provide us with all of the schedules and guides to ensure that the day ran smoothly, for which it did! Everyone who was a part of the wedding knew what they needed to do and went to her or her assistant for questions. This allowed us to just be there and present. When we walked into the ceremony and reception, each time we were so blown away by how wonderful it looked! All of our items were placed perfectly to our guides and the restaurants additional items were worked in perfectly. Genevieve's schedule and suggested flow worked wonderful and we felt as relaxed (as possible). At the end of the night, she worked neatly to get all of our items so nicely packed and organized for us, which was much appreciated. We are so happy and grateful for Genevieve.

At Avenue Design Studio, we began as a floral business, but quickly realized we could offer so much more to our clients. Over our 10+ years of working with couples on those special lifetime moments, we found ourselves stepping in to assist our brides and event clients with planning, vendor coordination, and overall event management. This inspired us to shift our focus and create Avenue Design Studio, a full-service event planning and design company. Whether you’re looking for full-service planning or just need assistance with specific aspects, we provide multiple packages and a la carte options to fit your needs. You dream it, we create it.

Avenue Design Studio - Wedding Planning was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. Their communication was always clear and responsive, which made the planning process so much smoother. When it came to the quality of their work, they truly exceeded our expectations. Our wedding coordinators and florist from Avenue Designs were incredible - they transformed the venue into a stunning, elegant space that was more beautiful than I could have imagined. My daughter showed the team what she envisioned, and Benjamin and Chad went above and beyond to bring her dreams to life. Everything about her wedding day was perfect and truly magical, thanks to the hard work and expertise of the Avenue Designs team.
