Adom Creations 

5.0

  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $650
  • Serves Lonaconing, MD

Hi! I am the founder of Adom Creations, wedding planning is not just an event but an opportunity to create unforgettable experiences for my clients. Led by founder Benies, Adom Creations specializes in traditional White American weddings, multicultural, and faith-based celebrations, including Jewish and Muslim weddings. We honor tradition, embrace diversity, and execute every event with professionalism, care, and intention.

We truly could not have done this without Benies. After our original wedding planner unexpectedly quit, we were left stressed and unsure how everything would come together—until Benies stepped in. From the moment she took over, she brought calm, confidence, and clarity to what felt like a chaotic situation. Stepping in last minute is no small task, yet she handled it with grace and professionalism. Benies quickly got up to speed and even helped us define our vision. Her organization, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills were exceptional. She seamlessly coordinated vendors, managed timelines, and ensured that every detail—big and small—was thoughtfully planned and beautifully executed. On the wedding day, everything ran flawlessly. We were able to be fully present, relaxed, and genuinely enjoy every moment knowing she had everything handled. What truly sets Benies apart is how much she genuinely cares—she was responsive, reassuring, incredibly knowledgeable, and always one step ahead. If you are looking for a wedding planner who is dependable, talented, calm under pressure, and truly invested in her couples, look no further. Hiring Benies—especially under these circumstances—was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We are endlessly grateful and cannot recommend her highly enough. E & J

Aside from my love for all-things-events-and-weddings, I am a cat mom, dog mom (to the best dog ever, truly), goofy type-A (yes, we exist). I love everything coffee, purple, and vintage; I almost never go somewhere without red lipstick. And you’ll probably see me somewhere in downtown Frederick at least twice a week. The SBD team has a team of Leads and Assistants of all backgrounds but we all share a love for logistics and supporting couples on their special day!

Sarah was so helpful in our planning process the last few weeks leading up to our wedding and on our wedding day. She was super responsive and available to answer questions throughout the process and give recommendations. Her recommendation on wedding dress alterations saved me 600 compared to the first place I went to! There is a lot that happens in the last 4-6 weeks before the wedding; all of your vendors are reaching out about final details and decisions, which Sarah helped us handle. She took the initiative to email all of our vendors which took the stress off of us and allowed us to only work with her in the final weeks as she communicated everything out to the rest of our vendor team. I believe our wedding was the first time she and her team had been to our venue – Riverside on the Potomac in Leesburg, Virginia – but you never would have known it. In particular, she nailed our timeline, which was such a big help for us not to have to think about much. On the wedding day, she was on top of everything and from my husband's and my perspective, everything went to plan and there were no hiccups! She does everything through Google Docs and Sheets which makes things super easy for you to work on as you have time and it’s nice that it’s all done in one place, not back and forth through lots of emails!

Out of all of the many many decisions we made for our day, booking with Protea Event Planners was the best decision we made hands down. Caroline was a pleasure to work with and totally calmed any of our stress and anxiety during the days leading up - I can honestly say it’s because of her that we had a completely stress-free wedding day! Not only was it her lovely presence that made the day go perfectly, it was also her skill, natural talent, and years of experience in the industry. She put out all of the small fires, kept everything and everyone involved on time and running smoothly (with a huge bridal party, off-site church ceremony, and two wedding dress looks), and made every detail, no matter how small, of our vision come to life! She made herself extremely available and accessible for our many questions and concerns and never made us feel crazy :) Caroline absolutely went above and beyond for us and we cannot emphasize enough how crucial of a part she was in our day being so amazing. She is already booked for another wedding in the family because of how much we all loved working with her. If you’re thinking of working with Protea Event Planners, book it - you will not regret it!

Megan is the absolute best! We used her day of coordinating service and it was one of the best choices we made throughout the planning process. From the very beginning, she made us feel comfortable. She truly took the time to not only get to know what our wants and needs were for the wedding, but also who we were as a couple. She is insanely organized, detailed oriented, and definitely knows her stuff when it comes to the wedding industry. We had full confidence in Megan and her team to execute our vision for the day and they delivered. We seriously had nothing to worry about day of, even a makeup stain on my wedding dress was no match for Megan! If you're on the fence about hiring a day of coordinator, just do it.

I cannot sing Emma’s praises enough!!! We hired Emma as a month-of coordinator and are fully convinced she is the sole reason our wedding went off without a hitch! We had over 200 people and our ceremony was at a different location from our reception—no small undertaking—and from the moment we started working together, we knew our wedding was in good hands. Emma is extremely organized and has the perfect demeanor for this type of work. When I was actively pulling my hair out with stress (and a venue that was less than forthcoming about a conflict with our event space), Emma stepped up and made sure everything went smoothly, all while remaining calm, cool and collected. Emma was SO easy to work with and is a pleasure to be around. She also has a great inventory of items to bolster your décor—we ended up renting a card box and table numbers from her that she printed and designed with our names on it! She helped us hone our vision and refine our timeline, all while making sure everything was finalized to our liking! She put out every fire that popped up and truly felt like our wedding day guardian angel. Do yourself a favor and book Simply Grater Events!!!

Hi, we’re Jacob & Shá, the husband-and-wife team behind Very Bespoke Events. Our journey began while planning our own wedding, when we couldn’t find décor that matched the level of luxury and intention we envisioned—so we created it. Today, we specialize in extensive planning timelines, faux and fresh florals, escort walls, luxury draping, sand candles, bespoke signage, seating charts, and full-scale décor design. Through immersive 3D mockups, we allow our clients to fully visualize their day before it arrives. What began as just the two of us has grown into a passionate team of 15, all sharing one goal: to make your day as special as you are

We couldn’t be happier with our floral arrangements from Very Bespoke Events! The custom floral arch and arrangements were beyond beautiful, and the best part was knowing they would last the entire day. The quality was outstanding, and it made our wedding feel so unique and elegant. We received so many compliments on how stunning everything looked and people kept asking if they were real haha. The fabric drapings were also amazing!

An experienced and award-winning wedding planner/coordinator in Baltimore, Maryland, RCC Weddings & Events prides itself on transforming visions into realities. Owned by certified wedding planner Renee Coshin Coolbaugh, the company’s organizational skills are perfect for newly engaged couples or couples who have been planning for some time. Crafting memorable celebrations, RCC Weddings & Events strives to exceed your wedding day expectations!

Renee is THE wedding planner - look no further!! From the jump, she took us under her wing and answered any and all questions we had, was extremely attentive, and made us feel comfortable and prepared. Having planned too many weddings to count, she really knows the industry and all the ins and outs of planning a wedding. She met with us multiple times leading up to the wedding, and always came prepared with outlines, itineraries, and details that we would have never thought of! She also is the sweetest and so easy to get along with. Truly felt like we had known her for years. With regards to communication, she was extremely responsive, and always kept us in the loop. As we got closer to the wedding, and things inevitably became more hectic, vendors would email us questions and before I could even think of a response, Renee had already replied and had the situation handled. I can’t tell you the amount of ease and stress relief Renee brought us. The weekend of the wedding, my husband and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Her team was quick and efficient and got things done. Our ceremony and reception set up was done exactly the way we had described and even exceeded expectations when we told her to use her creative liberties! I am the type to stress about details and worry about things running smoothly, but on our wedding day, I didn’t think twice about anything but enjoying the day. We knew Renee had it handled. If I thought of something last minute to bring up to Renee she would immediately say with ease, “we have it handled, don’t worry about a thing!!” I can’t emphasize how much that meant to us. My biggest advice to anyone planning a wedding would be to book a wedding planner and to get RENEE!!!! We will forever look back on our wedding knowing we, and everyone at our wedding, fully enjoyed every second and were not swept up in day-of tasks and duties. No one was stressed or worried about getting something done. People got to relax, party, and just enjoy themselves, because Renee had it handled.

Working with Velada Events was truly one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning journey. From the very first hourly brainstorming session, Geraldine made us feel heard, understood, and completely supported. Each meeting was not only productive, but also inspiring — they helped us bring our ideas to life while offering thoughtful suggestions we never would have considered on our own. We left every call feeling more confident, more organized, and even more excited for our big day. Our wedding on February 21, 2025 was everything we dreamed of and more, and we truly believe the care and attention given to us during those hourly sessions played a huge role in that. Thank you Velada Events for helping us plan a celebration that felt perfectly us.

We were planning from the west coast for our Virginia wedding, and Jill was truly a lifesaver. From day one, she was incredibly communicative and kept us on track every step of the way, which gave us such peace of mind. Jill went above and beyond when it came to our décor. Not only did she help us design stunning tablescapes, but she also provided the perfect finishing touches—everything from table numbers to candle holders, welcome table, seating chart and individual name card tents to make our vision come to life! On the day of the wedding, Jill handled any issues before we even knew they existed! Her professionalism and calm demeanor were unmatched, and she always seemed to know exactly what I needed before I could even think to ask. If you’re getting married in the Leesburg/Purcellville area, you absolutely need Jill as your coordinator. She is amazing at what she does, and we couldn’t have imagined our wedding day without her!

Shaymah was extremely organized with a very chaotic wedding - chaos due to family drama, etc. While the chaos was stressful, Shaymah was very detailed and thorough with all of the wedding planning, including designing florals and signs completely on her own (great designer too!), and including last minute issues with guest count, etc. She's very sweet, kind and helpful and great to work with! I would recommend her for any type of wedding event. She was also very professional through all of the chaos and made sure that the event went well!
