We had such a great experience with Evelyn and the wedding planning and design team at Love & Laughter Weddings. From the very beginning they made the entire process feel so easy and stress free. They truly felt like family and were always there when we had questions or needed guidance. They also handled our design and somehow took all of our Pinterest dreams and turned them into a wedding that felt completely us. Everything felt intentional, personal, and perfectly reflective of who we are as a couple. On the wedding day, everything came together so beautifully and seamlessly, which allowed us to relax and truly enjoy every moment.

House of Elleon (La Elleon Events & Design Co.) 
Rating: 5.0 (27 reviews)
·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • Offers 7 services
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Sussex, VA

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.

Katie and her team were amazing to work with! We had rented out a large vacation house as our venue, so we had to bring in everything ourselves as far as setting up tables/chairs, linens, decor, etc. Not only did Katie deliver on this and make sure everything I imagined in my head came to life, but her calming presence always made me feel like no matter what, everything was going to be ok and get done. She truly made sure we had the wedding of our dreams! I cannot say enough great things about Katie and her team. You will not be disappointed if you work with Lotus Events for your wedding!

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!

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!

I cannot imagine our day without the CRC team! We utilized coordination services for the last 4 months and I am SO thankful we had this incredible team. 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! Any fires that may have happened, Jenna put out without me even knowing. I would recommend this company to every single newly engaged couple (especially those of you considering not hiring a coordinator -- trust me, you need them!).

I cannot say enough incredible things about Erin. Above and beyond does not begin to cover it! Look no further for any of your wedding planning needs. We hired Erin for our month of coordinator almost 2 years in advance. From the beginning, she was very responsive, informative, kind, and helpful. I am pretty organized, and she consistently thought of questions I didn't! I was very impressed with her demeanor with myself and the rest of our vendors. Our venue required a pre-approved coordinator, and Erin took the steps to contact them to make sure she would work out, and we are so glad she did! She did everything she said she would and then some. She reached out to all of our vendors, worked with us on our timeline (many times!), attended our rehearsal, and never got frustrated even when we had a lot going on. Erin felt more like a friend than a coordinator, and we are so happy we got to spend our special day with her. Our day went so smoothly from start to finish, and we know this is due to Erin's impeccable attention to detail. If you are looking to have an incredible day with a crisp timeline and no stress - Erin is your gal!

We truly had no idea how much of a blessing Sydney and her team would be when we made the decision to hire a day of coordinator. It was absolutely the best decision we made throughout the entire wedding journey. Sydney took care of us thoroughly and completely from start to finish, from the suggested timeline, the vendor recommendations, the venue walk through, the planning session, tip recommendations, patience & grace with texts and questions, the rehearsal coordination, decor transportation & set up, vendor coordination to handling EVERYTHING that was in her control (including crazy heat), the day of the wedding. We were able to be completely in the moment and soak in one of the most special days of our lives. Her contributions were priceless and she quickly became a trusted friend. Thank you so much!

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!

Our experience with Our Curated Design was fantastic from start to finish. Jami and her team were warm, responsive, and informal in their communication style, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. Their attention to detail was flawless, and they executed our vision for the day in a stylish and seamless way. Everything went off without a hitch, and we were blown away by how beautifully they brought our wedding to life. Jami in particular was comforting and great to work with, making what could have been a stressful experience feel easy and enjoyable. We are so grateful to the Our Curated Design team for helping to make our special day truly perfect.

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!
