The quality of their work was truly professional, organized, and timely. For example, Abby had a plate of food waiting for us after our first dance, and they got everything cleaned up and delivered back to the house right after the wedding ended. The only hiccup was our day-of coordinator almost not making it to the rehearsal the night before, but they got it figured out in time.

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.

Stacy planned our wedding from start to finish, and I can’t imagine doing it any other way. She genuinely loves weddings and all the minutia that make them meaningful to each couple, and it really shows. Whether we were picking a photographer or deciding what kind of candles to use, she was always full of practical advice and creative ideas tailored to our tastes and budget. Stacy isn’t just a wedding planner — she’s a partner who is eager to understand and then produce your unique vision for the day. Stacy goes above and beyond every step of the way. Her motto — which you’ll hear a lot — is “we can do that!” Just one small example of many: I procrastinated on getting a hairstylist only to finally do a trial and realize I really didn’t like the result. Without even being asked, Stacy immediately jumped in and found multiple incredible hairstylists, even reaching out to confirm their availability and pricing. I’ve had so many people compliment me on the wedding, specifically how thoughtful and well-executed it was. Almost every single one of them has mentioned Stacy. Her professionalism, competency, and uncanny ability to subtly resolve any last-second problems makes for a stress-free event where your only job truly is to enjoy the day. And her attention to detail (like putting cute tags on the water carafes with refill instructions) makes even the littlest pieces feel special. She was always exactly where I needed her on the wedding day, checking in, making sure we were fed, re-bustling my dress moments before our first dance. I was able to really relax knowing she could handle whatever came up. If you’re hoping to find someone who is as excited as you are about seeing your dream wedding come to life, Stacy’s the one. My husband and I are still surprised by just how much we loved every moment of our wedding, which was in large part thanks to Stacy.

As a Wedding Planner and Certified Project Manager, I fill the gap where wedding production ends and your personal logistics begin. While vendors manage the event and loved ones enjoy their roles as guests, the nitty-gritty details often fall on you.

Combining my professional project management background with a passion for execution, I safeguard your energy so you can stay focused on the love rather than the labor. I don’t just coordinate the day; I protect your presence in it.

She went above and beyond in dealing with vendors and took so much off my plate. She also saved my mental health in the months/weeks leading up to the wedding, not bothered by my many questions and random thoughts and happily answered them all. She took my random thoughts and my very rough vision for decor and ran with it. I was stunned and amazed when I saw how everything turned out. She also was amazing in dealing with an unhappy venue staff member at the end of the wedding, ensuring our evening was perfect.

Before I met Katie, I truly thought I could be my own wedding planner. I had booked my venue and photographer and figured I could handle the rest. But once I dove into the world of wedding planning, I quickly realized how many details, moving parts, and potential stressors were involved. My biggest worry was that my venue had never hosted a wedding before, which felt daunting, and I was also nervous about managing vendors, timelines, and logistics while still trying to enjoy being engaged. Katie came highly recommended, and after just one phone call, I knew I needed her by my side. Her decade-plus of experience was immediately obvious - she knows exactly what to do, when to do it, what options to consider, what could go wrong, and how to handle everything seamlessly. After booking her, she recommended all of my remaining vendors (florist, cake, DJ, transportation, etc.), and every single one told me the same thing: “You’re in great hands with Katie. We’re not worried, she’ll tell us what to do and when.” Once I shared my vision with each vendor, I truly didn’t have to lift another finger. Katie handled all the technicalities and logistics directly with the vendors. She also completely alleviated my biggest concern, the new venue, through her excellent communication, organization, and confidence. We met monthly to touch base on what I had been working on and what I needed to work on next to stay on track, and I was never overwhelmed because she broke everything down in manageable parts and was always reachable with questions. On the wedding day, her team managed the timeline, directed people, coordinated vendor deliveries and setup, and even handled breakdown at the end of the night. When we realized we had forgotten some decorations at home, one of her team members literally went to our house to get them... that level of care is unmatched. My favorite part of my wedding day was being fully present and truly enjoying every moment without a single worry. It was a beautiful whirlwind, and because of Katie and her team, I was able to soak it all in. When people ask me if anything went wrong on my wedding day, they expect a story, but honestly, nothing did. The wedding day I envisioned would not have been possible without Katie and her team, and I am endlessly grateful that.

I've been in business since September of 2006. I've been a bride, bridesmaid, maid of honor and a mother of the groom. I have experience from those different perspectives and therefore I can see and hear the different sides to a wedding or event. I have literally been in their shoes. This helps me to help my clients in so many ways. I love all the details that go into every wedding. I love to put it all together and see the happy faces of my couples when it all does comes together. I am team YOU. It's your wedding, and I do my very best to make your day as stress-less as possible.

We hired Renee (Rose & Calla Event Planning & Design Co.) for full service planning. As stated in our review on The Knot & WeddingWire (She deserves recommendations/reviews on all platforms), Renee was so nice, so professional, so easy to work with. We struggled with a few things like our budget, prioritizing items etc., and having Renee solved those issues. We were still able to have our vision for our wedding come to life. It was nice voicing my concerns. Renee listened to everything and helped me fine tune what I wanted. I did not feel out of control either. I made all the final decisions. She was so wonderful. Even our families adored her. She will be planning my sister's wedding too!

Ashley and Cameron were absolutely incredible wedding coordinators and truly went above and beyond in every possible way. From the very beginning, they were organized, attentive, and so supportive throughout the entire planning process and wedding day. They did an amazing job keeping me on track with everything I needed to do, gently reminding me of deadlines, details, and tasks so nothing ever slipped through the cracks. Their communication and consistency gave me so much peace of mind during what could have been a very overwhelming time. What really set them apart was how thoughtful and personalized their support was. They even sent me TikToks with ideas they thought I might like and went out of their way to browse stores and send me inspiration that matched my aesthetic perfectly. It made the planning process feel fun, creative, and so much more personal because they truly took the time to understand my vision. Beyond their professionalism, they made me feel so comfortable and supported every step of the way. I honestly feel like I gained two very good friends through this process. I always looked forward to our planning meetings—they made me laugh so much, made me feel at ease, and gave me such a strong sense of security throughout everything. On the wedding day, the moment I saw them, I immediately felt calm because I knew everything would be taken care of. And it was. They handled everything behind the scenes so seamlessly, allowing me to fully enjoy every moment without stress or worry. I truly cannot recommend Ashley and Cameron enough. They are not only incredibly professional and organized, but also kind, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making your day perfect. I will forever be grateful for them.

As a wedding planner in Northern Virginia and the greater Washington DC area, I love helping couples like you have the best day of their life and giving them confidence that their special day is going to be better than they ever imagined! My favorite aspect of planning is getting to know my couples, understanding their vision, their priorities, and their style, and helping them to make that a reality. It's my job to listen and help avoid all the stress for them and their close family.

Booking Virginia as our wedding planner was the best decision we made for our wedding! She made the entire planning process so easy and ensured that everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Virginia took the time to understand our vision and connected us with vendors who perfectly brought it to life, every recommendation she made was spot on. Her communication skills are exceptional, she kept us organized and on schedule, helping us stay on top of decisions and deadlines without ever feeling overwhelmed. Virginia handled all of the vendor coordination to ensure everyone knew the schedule and how to implement our vision. She was also open to our ideas and flexible, managing last-minute changes to the guest list without missing a beat. Whenever we had a question or request, we knew we could count on Virginia to take care of it promptly and professionally. Thanks to her, we had a wonderful wedding and were able to fully enjoy our wedding day knowing everything was in expert hands.
