Hello, I am Rachel, the owner of Lamie Events. I specialize in Elopements, Micro-Weddings, and Budget Weddings. I am located in SWVA, but will travel anywhere for your big day! Fun Facts about me: I love handwritten Vows (yes, I will cry). My go to coffee order is a maple cream iced latte. When I’m not fluffing veils or cueing music for your big walk down the aisle, you’ll probably find me bingeing K-Dramas or cuddling my dog.

Rachel went the extra mile to help coordinate with the vendors, schedule time lines for arrivals, pick ups, etc. She flawlessly planned our wedding with every detail, based on our interests and theme.

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.

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.

My passion for making dreams come true started in 2017 when I entered the floral industry fresh out of college. During my seven year career as a floral designer, I was given an opportunity to try out event coordination at a company in Greensboro. After being thrust into the event world, I very quickly realized that my personable disposition, intuitive nature, and ability to make important decisions in a timely and professional manner gave me an excellent skill set for the wedding planning industry. Now with years of experience under my belt, I'm excited to own and operate my own wedding business in Roanoke, Virginia!

Jennifer was the Day-Of-Coordinator for our wedding day! But even before our wedding day, she was incredible to work with from the start (booking) to finish (wedding day)! You can tell by the quality of her work and by the way she goes about her business that she both 1) truly cares about her clients and 2) truly loves what she does! Throughout the planning process Jennifer was flexible and attentive, working with us to a create a vision board to ensure our vision of the day and florals would come to life! Throughout the planning process, Jennifer was very responsive to emails and video calls, never letting 24 hours go by without hearing back which put us at ease! She truly listened to our vision for the day, and she absolutely delivered and helped to make our dream day come to life. The florals Jennifer put together (bouquets, cross arrangement, table arrangements, and a stunning hanging display to name a few!) were absolutely breath-taking and beautiful, better than anything I could have imagined! Not only that, Jennifer was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was extremely kind, caring, and authentic as she helped to coordinate the wedding. She communicated seamlessly with vendors and put out all the fires that came her way, and there were a few!! But she did so in a way that reflected professionally on her business and us as her clients. If it was not for Jennifer, I truly believe we would have had so many disasters on our wedding day, but she truly was the glue holding everything together and keeping everything running smoothly!! The most sweet part was that I was truly unaware of most of the mishaps until after-the-fact because Jennifer handled everything so well, and always came up to me with a smile, a thumbs up, and left with a wink! She put out all the fires that came her way and did it with such grace, kindness, and professionalism! I would 1000% recommend From Coast to Toast Wedding Coordination and Jennifer’s services to anyone having a wedding in the Kitty Hawk/Nags Head/Coastal area. You will not be disappointed. Our wedding probably would have been a disaster if it wasn't for Jennifer! And not only that, sh created BEAUTIFUL floral arrangements, installations, bouquets, and boutonnières for us that made everything look so beautiful. We can't Jennifer enough for all that she did for us! #1 Vendor! Thank you, Jennifer, from the bottom of our hearts! If I could, I would give From Coast to Toast a 20/10 review!!

We LOVED working with Brittany. We had monthly meetings with her for over a year, from the venue search phase to the handoff to our month-of coordinator, and she was so helpful. She helped us with the searches for everything—venue, DJ, photography, day-of coordination, flowers, catering—and provided us timelines and organization tools that were genuinely invaluable. We had very little idea going in exactly what was needed to plan a wedding, but Brittany’s collaboration made us feel very on top of things. She also worked with us to troubleshoot things when issues arose (like our flower provider not following some of our communication requests). And an added bonus is that she’s fun to hang out with lol—we really enjoyed our monthly meetings!! Would absolutely recommend the Venlist (and Brittany specifically)!

From our first conversation with Zach at Weddings by TMW, we knew we had found our planner. He got back to us right away and was always straight with us about what we needed and what would work best for our day. Zach didn't just plan our wedding, he showed up and took care of details that went way beyond the job description, like clearing the ceremony site of sticks and weeds to make sure everything looked perfect. He checked on our parents throughout the day to make sure they were comfortable and even fixed my maid of honor's blisters when her feet were hurting!!

I entered the Event planning market seven years ago through catering and setting up for events. I quickly learned that I loved being by the bride and groom throughout the entire event and watching their special day come to life.

It’s my pursuit to take all the stress off your plate and help you build the event of a lifetime.

My daughter and I hired Chloe Deal to be our onsite day-of wedding planner and she was excellent before, during and after the big day! Pre-wedding, we had two zoom meetings to review what the plans were and what she would be doing to oversee it all. Chloe's communication assured us all the details would be completely taken care of on wedding day. The day of the wedding, we had a big surprise. An unexpected storm whipped up just as we were about to begin the outdoor ceremony. Chloe and her assistant quickly rallied to make last minute adjustments moving tables and displays under the reception tent, coordinating with the vendors on the change of plans and remained calm throughout it all. After a bit of insanity as our guests ran from the outdoor ceremony into the tent, Chloe and her assistant went into overdrive drying off chairs and getting them moved into the reception area which was a huge undertaking. The groomsmen were supposed to help but they were the only ones not under umbrellas and were absolutely soaked. Chloe easily helped guests find their seats and kept us all on schedule with the reception events of introductions, dances, happy hour, dinner, cake cutting, send off photos etc. Post wedding, we had to be all cleaned up by 9am the next day so the night of the wedding, Chloe and her assistant moved heavy tree log displays back to the woods, put everything that we needed to save into our cars or the locked space until we could pick it up the next day. Chloe's performance as our wedding planner was truly impressive as she thought of every detail and despite the unexpected weather, my daughter and son-in-law had a truly magical day complete with double rainbows! I would highly recommend her services to any bride and groom to-be!

We specialize in curating weddings that don’t just look stunning—they feel like you, through every meaningful moment. We'll transform your vision into a celebration that feels deeply personal and effortlessly elegant. With every detail, we aim to capture the feeling of your story and turn it into an experience your guests will never forget.

Having Macy as the day of coordinator for our wedding was the best decision we made - our wedding day was 100% stress free! We had no idea about what needed to be considered when having a wedding, but Macy had all the questions ready and helped us think through every detail. Macy is so kind, thoughtful, organized, communicative, and took away all of our stress leading up to the wedding day by being so organized and prepared! She coordinated with the different vendors to ensure a timeline was created and distributed for when each would arrive. I didn’t have to worry about a thing except for confirming details for her. She made sure the wedding party and our parents were at the right spots at the right time throughout the evening and helped keep guests contained during cocktail hour so we could step away with the photographer for photos. She even assisted with clean up and helped pack dessert for us to take and enjoy later! Macy is by far irreplaceable in our eyes, we cannot recommend her enough! She will do everything it takes to make sure you have the best day and she was instrumental for ours. Thank you so much, Macy!!

At Destination 2 I Do, we plan destination weddings in Mexico and the Caribbean with no planning fee to you as we are paid directly by our trusted resort partners.

Destination 2 I Do made our Aruba wedding an absolute dream. Planning a wedding at an all inclusive resort felt exciting instead of stressful because we always knew what to expect and felt fully supported. Every question we had was answered, and the entire experience felt personal and thoughtful. Our wedding day was beautiful, emotional, and truly unforgettable. The fact that we never paid any wedding planning fees made this experience even better and for a free service, it was very high end and detailed. We are so thankful for the care and attention we received and would recommend Destination 2 I Do to anyone dreaming of getting married in Aruba or anywhere.

Hi, I’m Olivia, the owner of Beyond the Peaks Events in Roanoke, Virginia. As a Certified Wedding Planner and James Madison University Hospitality Management alum, I believe wedding planning should feel exciting—not overwhelming.

Working with Olivia with Beyond the Peaks Events was an absolute dream come true for our wedding. Her communication style was incredibly responsive, professional, and detail-oriented, putting our minds at ease throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and the value they provided was truly top tier - the price was more than fair given how they went above and beyond to bring our wedding vision to life. By anticipating potential issues and solving problems behind the scenes, Olivia kept my husband and I calm and focused on enjoying our special day, without having to worry about any of the details. Additionally, Olivia’s design and decor execution ensured that the ceremony and reception spaces perfectly matched our planned aesthetic. We cannot recommend Beyond the Peaks Events highly enough - they truly made our wedding day everything we could have dreamed of and more.
