“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!”

“We took on a lot of planning ourselves, and hired Rina to be our day of coordinator--or really month of coordinator--and out of all of our planning decisions, hiring Rina was one of the best decisions we made. Ahead of our first call, we sent a long document outlining the ideas we had--which she looked through and gave us useful feedback on as we considered what support we needed most. We had some unique ideas for how to do things our own way--and it was also clear from our conversation, that while Rina knows how to do a "textbook" wedding--she also knows how to listen to clients to help them make their unique vision a reality, even if that requires some creative thinking, crafting, or problem solving. When we did our venue walkthrough a month before the event, we sent Rina another long document, floorplan, and schedule the day before--and she once again arrived familiar with all of it. She had crucial suggestions, important questions we hadn't thought of, and proved again she was the right person to help us get prepared for the big day. That pattern repeated once more at rehearsal which was very efficient! The day of our wedding, Rina was punctual, professional, and in expert control running the show we had put together. She had already connected with all of our vendors, reviewed all the decorations we designed and how they set up, and was fully familiar with the timeline. When the inevitable surprises popped up, she was quick to roll with the punches--in a way that kept our plans on track! The entire event was not just beautiful, unique, and exactly the vibe we had envisioned--but it was also EXACTLY ON SCHEDULE, from set up to the paper lantern send off at the end! We are thoroughly impressed, and can't recommend Rina highly enough! She was our not so secret weapon. Let her be yours too! And make no mistake, while we had Rina as our month-of-coordinator--we would have absolutely hired Rina to take on the entire thing if we hadn't enjoyed planning so much (and even then, we couldn't have finished the plans without her input!). I will also say, having planned so much ourselves, it really made it very personal to us that the schedule we made, the decorations we crafted, and the timeline we envisioned were faithfully executed. It was so personal, that I thought it would be hard to hand off our cherished plan to someone else. Who could know it as well as us or care as much? But every conversation with Rina made letting go easy, because it was so clear she was listening to us, and understanding us. There is no one else we would've trusted with our plan except Rina.”

“We connected first from Zola, then she emailed me. Then we did a quick consult call. This bride was helping to plan her offices conference so she thought she would only need a day of coordinator. She/I was wrong. Robin with VoG helped me and my Maid of Honor expand my day of timeline and photo shot lists. Robin and her assistant traveled to our venue and was a HUGE support, especially to my MoH. If we (read I) weren't so self-conscious of budget, we would have benefitted if we expanded Robins role. Still grateful to her and her team to make sure our day went smoothly.”

“Exactly one week ago, I married the love of my life. I could not have managed the stress of planning a wedding without the grace of God and EventBay, LLC. From consultation to day of, Bashan McLeod (owner) exuded professionalism, profoundness and poise. Her skillset, knowledge and expertise of wedding planning and event planning provided a sense of ease and allowed me to focus on the only important thing…marrying my husband. Lol. I retained the Day of Coordinator service from EventBay, LLC. and the Event Agenda a la cart service to make my big day manageable. Bashan went above and beyond, she always did a monthly check up on me to see how I was doing before her services started. And when the 30 days out started, this business owner was on it! She also recommended vendors when my now husband and I were stuck and could not find a DJ. My entire wedding party was in awe of the seamless transitions between timeline tasks and how Bashan and her team got us together. I am so very grateful to have found EventBay, LLC. I literally had no clue what I was doing. Bashan was clear and concise, personable, and fancy. I would definitely utilize EventBay, LLC.’s services again in the future for any event.

Events are a part of everyone’s lives. Weddings in particular are an important event that many of us get to experience hosting just one time in our life. A wedding is also widely known as one of the most stressful days of your life – that’s where we come in. Between the two of us we have planned over 185 weddings from the day after engagement all the way to closing the car door as the couple leaves for their honeymoon.

“Behind the most incredible day of our lives was the most amazing wedding planner, Megan, making it all happen. Since the day we booked her, she scheduled meetings, contacted vendors, provided advice and ideas, kept us organized, created our invitations, answered all of our questions, and much more. Then come wedding day, she brought our entire vision to life. She checked in on us throughout the day, meticulously placed every detail, brought us drinks during photos, and ultimately became an incredible friend through the entire process.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Hiring The Coordinated Collective was by far the best decision we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. Every single person we interacted with was incredible, starting with Ja’el the owner, who was amazing from start to finish. She is warm, organized, thoughtful, and we felt see was genuinely invested in us. From our first conversation, we knew we were in great hands. Our day-of coordinators, Liz and Blair, were absolute stars. They just got us. Throughout the planning process, they provided steady guidance, answered every question, and—when we had concerns about potential issues with other vendors—gave us thoughtful, grounded advice and real encouragement. As we approached the wedding, Liz and Blair stepped in to manage the scheduling of the countless moving parts of our wedding day. They helped address issues before they became problems, and resolved most problems before they became crises. Their communication and stress management were unparalleled. They kept us informed whenever we needed to know something and shielded us from anything we didn’t need to be bothered with. I referred back to Blair’s meticulously documented recap emails from our planning meetings so many times during planning - no idea how anything would have gotten done without those! We always felt like they were firmly on our team. Their presence throughout those final weeks kept us calm and confident… despite the best attempts of some of our vendors and family! And then the wedding day itself… flawless. Truly flawless. They executed the day with precision, grace, and warmth. They handled countless details behind the scenes so seamlessly that we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our big day. At one point during dinner, I (the bride) leaned over to my mom to ask if she had floss because I had food stuck in my teeth, and before I could finish my sentence, Liz promptly whisked me away to a back room where I found myself suddenly in front of a mirror with a toothpick in hand! The level of support and preparation during the pre-wedding stages was above and beyond what we ever expected. Our families and friends are still raving about how fantastic they were on the day-of. We also decided to add on content creation with Teri late in the process, and we are SO glad we did. She was amazing—funny, kind, unobtrusive, and everywhere at once without ever feeling like a camera was in our faces. A couple of days after the wedding, we received our raw video dump, and it is worth every single penny. I’ve spent hours reliving the day through all the behind-the-scenes moments she captured with our guests, family, and wedding party. She didn’t miss a thing. We can’t wait to see the short-form content she creates, but honestly, the raw footage alone already exceeded our hopes. We are genuinely obsessed with this team. The Coordinated Collective is thoughtful, professional, communicative, creative, and deeply committed to making your wedding experience exceptional from beginning to end. If you’re considering hiring them, don’t hesitate for a second. They were truly the best decision we made, and we are endlessly grateful.”

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 would get comments about how "on top of things" or "how organized," and I soon began receiving requests from other engaged couples. I quickly discovered the joy of creating that special day that people have been dreaming of their entire lives and, soon after, launched SWP.

“It was such a pleasure having Macy by our sides for our big day! From our very first call with her, we could see how organized, professional, and competent she was. She absolutely made me feel much more relaxed about the planning process, and I went into my wedding day confident that things would be great (and if not, Macy had it!). She navigated some difficult vendors with grace, and thought on her feet when my original officiant's car broke down on the way to the venue. And she has fantastic relationships with a lot of venues and vendors in NoVa. We absolutely recommend Macy to all brides/grooms/couples!”

Peña & Co. grew from a love of weddings and bringing order to so many moving pieces and parts. I was part of a wedding that didn't have everything planned out, and I saw how that affected the Bride & Groom and knew then that the details help create unity and peace. My aim is for you to have joy and peace in your day and to truly enjoy each second. I have been coordinating and planning for over 5 years, served over 50 couples, and was trained in the south in both Greenville and Charleston, SC. I have loved mixing Southern comfort with DC splendor since I moved to DC in 2023. I can't wait to celebrate you every step of the way!

“We had such a wonderful experience working with Breanna at Top Shelf for our wedding at the Sagamore Pendry in September 2025. She was the perfect partner and added so much support and ease to our day. Not only did she help with questions and ideas leading up to the event - especially because we were planning a wedding out of town on a shorter timeline. but she also took care of everything top to bottom on our wedding day and totally understood my vision for my dream day! She was responsive, creative, and so easy to work with. She never made me feel like I was too type A, or that my ideas were too much or not enough. She was so professional and quick to move around behind the scenes while we were preoccupied enjoying our wedding and handled all of the arrivals and departures of our vendors with detailed care. I can’t say enough good things about our experience, and I highly recommend Breanna for your special day!”

“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.”

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.”
