From the start, they were a very awesome communicator, keeping us informed every step of the way and making sure we felt taken care of.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our original wedding planner failed us when we needed them most, and what should have been one of the happiest times of our lives quickly became overwhelming and stressful. Golden Forest Events stepped in and immediately brought organization, professionalism, and a sense of calm to a situation that felt like it was falling apart. They helped take control of the details, communicated with the people involved, worked through problems behind the scenes, and made sure our wedding could still move forward. Instead of allowing us to spend our wedding day worrying about everything that had gone wrong, they focused on solutions and allowed us to focus on actually getting married and enjoying the day. What stood out most was their willingness to step into a difficult situation that they did not create and still treat our wedding as though it had been theirs to manage from the beginning. They were professional, responsive, compassionate, and incredibly resourceful. There are so many things that could have gone differently without their involvement. We will always be grateful that Golden Forest Events was there when we needed help the most. If you are looking for a wedding planning team that can not only create a beautiful event but also remain composed, organized, and solutions-focused when unexpected situations arise, I highly recommend Golden Forest Events. They did not simply help with our wedding they helped save it.

I believe that coordinating an event should be fun, exciting and stress-free. With years of experience and an everlasting passion for what I do, rest assured you will get the event you were dreaming of. All I need from you is to describe exactly what you wish for. And, on my end? I'll make sure to tailor a magnificent event that will exceed your expectations. There's nothing I love more than seeing the look on my clients' faces after they arrive at the venue, because I know the job was well done.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Bre was easily one of the best vendor choices we made while wedding planning. Our wedding ceremony became a kind of “pop-up” style event and Bre rolled with every decision and last minute detail we threw at her. With her day-of coordination package, we were able to have 2 pre wedding meetings and a rehearsal the day before. I went into the rehearsal feeling nervous about how things would go and left feeling so reassured and excited! The day of the wedding Bre checked in with me and made sure things were running smoothly. I felt so calm and confident walking up to the venue knowing Bre was in charge and bringing our vision to life! The whole day went beautifully and I know it’s because Bre was working her magic behind the scenes. She stayed until the last moment of clean up and made sure all our personal items and gifts made it home with us. Beyond just receiving a great service, it was so special to work with someone who truly celebrated with us and took care of us like we were old friends. I would 100% recommend working with Magical Moments and wish we could get married again to continue working with them!

Jenny, aka Opal Avenue Events, was a dream to work with! I reached out very early in the wedding-planning process to ask if she’d be available to be our day-of-coordinator for our non-traditional wedding, and I am so glad I did. From our very first conversation, Jenny was excited to help us plan and organize a South Asian-fusion wedding, instead of being deterred by the inherent challenges of doing something different from the norm. When I later asked her what she thought about centering swans, roses, tomatoes, and ribbons, she was even more enthusiastic and was ready to help ensure the vision would come true, while calmly listening to any concerns we had throughout. Planning a celebration that would coherently combine cultures with very different traditions was daunting, but having a professional who guided us through the process and validated our choices was truly invaluable. Throughout the planning process and on the day itself, Jenny was calm, prepared, and consistently professional. She went far beyond what we expected from a day-of coordinator, offering thoughtful insights into other potential vendors, drafting multiple timelines, and even creating beautiful and elegant swan place cards for our guests Above all, we wanted our guests to feel welcomed, loved, and to have a memorable experience, and Jenny helped make that happen. We are so thankful for her care, creativity, and support.

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!

She was there to set up, coordinate all our vendors, bustle my dress and clean up after the big event. Our families and wedding party didn't have to do a thing except enjoy the weekend! She was irreplaceable! On top of all her amazing work, she is such a wonderful, kind person and makes everything about the wedding simple and easy. Even our families commented on how amazing her and her team was! She made our day a dream! Thank you, Jena and team!!

Let's face it, every couple needs wedding planning help and traditional full-blown wedding planning is super expensive! At The Venlist, we're providing a modern way for busy couples to get wedding planning help at a price point that fits their budget from coast to coast.

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)!

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!
