We used Katie for our day of wedding coordination and for our seating chart. Katie was great to work with in the card design process, and took and feedback and ideas I had and came up with a design we loved! She asked what things were important to us and curated a wedding day timeline that made sure the day included all of the elements that were most important to us. She was also great at communicating with our vendors and making sure everyone was on the same page.

1000/10!! Evelyn is nothing less than a wedding rock star! We hired Evelyn for partial planning, design services and day-of coordination for our wedding that was (literally) across the country. She helped as find and book a majority of our vendors, all of which deserve their own 5-star reviews. She was extremely responsive and organized throughout the entire process. She did multiple site visits to ensure that our design could be accomplished. We had issues with a venue coordinator making promises that could not be kept that resulted in design changes, not once, but FOUR times, even as close to the date as 2 weeks and despite those set backs Evelyn handled it with the utmost professionalism and was still able to deliver on our (less than traditional) vision! We've had multiple guests say it was the best wedding they have ever attended and we couldn't agree more! If there were fires that needed put out, we (the bride and groom) never heard about them. The day was scheduled down to the minute and there was flawless execution across the board. It was truly the best day of our lives and we were able to enjoy every moment of it knowing full well everything was handled that needed handling. OH and did I mention that by the time we hired Evelyn, we had less than 6 months to accomplish EVERYTHING?! Yup - she's THAT good. If you need a wedding planner, look no further. Evelyn is your planner!!

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. Looking back, it was a wonderful weekend with family and friends, and we could not recommend them more.

Words can't express how amazing Bre was to work with! Before I found Bre I was overwhelmed with ever aspect of wedding planning - I didn't even know where to start when it came to catering, flowers, signage, timelines, etc. Not only did she help this unorganized bride with planning an entire wedding, but she provided such comfort and ease for the actual wedding day. I didn't have to worry about how anything looked or how the "flow" of events would work because Bre was on top of it all. I am so thankful to have had her help for the months, days, hours and minutes of this entire process. She has been the sweetest person from the minute I inquired with her all the way through our post-wedding conversations!

If you're looking for a wedding coordinator who will go above and beyond to make your day absolutely perfect, look no further than Jenny! We can’t thank her enough for making our wedding day feel like a dream come true. Ryan and I both keep saying it was better than we ever imagined, and we know that’s all because of her. From the start, Jenny took care of everything, allowing us to enjoy every moment without a single worry. She introduced us to amazing vendors, calmed my nerves (she’s a hero for that!), and thought of all the little details that we would have never even considered—like extra lighters. Her attention to detail and thoughtful planning made all the difference. Jenny was a beautiful part of what made our day perfect, and we’ll forever be grateful.

Little Acorn Events Co is a full service wedding planning, design, & production company based in Charlottesville, Virginia. We specialize in curating meaningful celebrations & distinctive guest experiences, steeped in beautiful design. Your engagement is a special and finite experience, culminating in a celebration with those you love. It is our true privilege to plan & produce luxurious wedding designs abundant with intentional touches & thoughtful details for a distinctive guest experience. 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?

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!

Jenna was always quick to respond and anticipated our needs. Jenna had a form to organize all of our thoughts and worked out the details to mean fewer vendor meetings on our end. She worked seamlessly with our vendors who continuously complimented her to my husband and I. Our guests have told us it was the most organized wedding they have ever been to! This team is clearly full of incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and, most importantly, kindhearted people who made it clear they were there for us and excited for us!

I came to her with a very specific vision and demanding preferences, but instead of pushing back, she met every single one of my needs with incredible attention to detail and genuine pride in her work.

Golden Hour Weddings & Events is a full-service wedding and event planning and design studio in Elkin, North Carolina, and available to travel statewide. Whether it's a 200-guest celebration or an intimate backyard ceremony, we handle every detail so you can actually be present on your day.

Choosing Golden Hour Weddings & Events as our planner was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. From day one, our planner took our scattered ideas and transformed them into something beautiful, all while keeping us calm and organized through the whole process. The biggest lifesaver was how she handled our reception room flip, we had a super tight window to transform our ceremony space into the dining room, and she coordinated the vendors like clockwork. She's so much more than just a planner; she's a rock under pressure and knows how to navigate every moving part of a wedding day without stressing you out. Her quick communication, helpful attitude, and availability made all the difference when obstacles came up. We honestly can't thank her enough for making our day so special.

Hey there, I’m Jami Pollnow Heath. I’m a wedding planner living and working in Richmond, Virginia. I'm a Maryland native living Richmond Virginia with my husband in our first home; a big beautiful project in Fulton Hill. In my journey down the aisle I found more than just my future partner, I found what I was meant to do; helping people like you say "I do" too!

From our first meeting with Our Curated Design, we knew we had found the right team to bring our vision to life. Their communication throughout the planning process was clear and responsive, making us feel heard at every step. What truly set them apart was their dedication to detail—they coordinated every aspect of our day with precision and went above and beyond with the decorating, transforming our venue into something we didn't even know was possible. The quality of their work was exceptional, and they delivered exactly what we needed without breaking the bank. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful everything looked, and we have Our Curated Design to thank for that. We would absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for a planner who actually cares about making their day special.

To put it simply, we love planning weddings. There's something magical about taking every little detail of such an important occasion and bringing them together to create lifelong memories for our couples and their families. ​ Based in beautiful Charlottesville, we are an experienced wedding and event planner team dedicated to making your dream wedding come to life. We don't want any couple (or their families) to have the stress of managing all of the event details on the wedding day. After all, the guests of honor should be enjoying every moment!

Working with Nadia was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very first meeting, she was kind, professional, creative, and organized. Every detail was handled with such care and we truly felt supported throughout the entire planning process. She understood our vision perfectly and elevated it in ways we never could have imagined. Her communication was always prompt, and on the wedding day itself, everything flowed wonderfully. We even tried out a new layout/timeline for our venue, and she nailed it! We were able to relax and fully enjoy the day knowing she was handling everything. Our wedding was beyond anything we dreamed of, and we owe so much of that to Nadia and Mary Elizabeth Events. If you’re looking for a planner who is organized, creative, organized, open, and genuinely invested in making your day perfect, look no further :)

As the Owner and Lead Coordinator of Illumination Events Studio, I bring over 15 years of experience in wedding planning and event design. I specialize in guiding couples’ visions through the final stages and into a beautifully executed reality. My team and I create seamless, personalized celebrations with grace, determination, and meticulous attention to detail—ensuring each wedding day feels effortless, intentional, and unforgettable.

Working with Illumination Events Studio has been a game-changer for the events we work together. Chelsea truly advocates for her couple's vision, listening carefully to what matters most and then executing it perfectly. What impresses me most is her proactive approach. She anticipates problems before they arise and has solutions ready. Whether it's handling unexpected dress cleaning or managing last-minute details that would have thrown others off. Her eye for detail and organization skills keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes and her resourcefulness helps navigate any curveball the day can throw at you! Furthermore, Chelsea's attention to detail and trustworthy nature gives her couples peace of mind, allowing them to focus on what really matters. Her lead planners are also wonderful to work with and do a very great job executing everything perfectly. I'd recommend Illumination Events Studio without hesitation to any couple looking for a planner who genuinely cares about bringing their day to life!
