I am an expert planner with a passion for weddings. Prior to wedding planning my background includes luxury corporate events and political events. I have previously planned events for the Vice President of the United States and the White House. In the last several years I have brought that same attention to detail and expertise to the wedding industry. I handle all the logistics, details and coordination so the couple can sit back and relax knowing everything is covered. My sole focus is to have the couples I work with feel understood, taken care of and know the joy of wedding planning without the hassle or headache.

Working with Lizzie and her team was such a pleasure! She is so knowledgable and really took us through the whole process. She found us the venue of our dreams, our food was delicious and all of our guests had an absolute blast! She made all the details come together and gave me the wedding I had been dreaming of since I was a little girl! We love Lizzie and would work with her again in a second!!!

My name is Jennette and I would love to be a part of your special day! I got into wedding coordinating on accident! One random day a few years ago, one of my friends asked if I would assist her in a few of her weddings. From that day on, I have been working weddings and my interest in them grew! My company is named after my beloved doggie, Lilo. She is a boxer mix hound, and she is surely a sassy one! She is lively, fierce and isn't afraid to have a good time. My vision for Lilo Weddings is to deliver a stress free and memorable event while working side by side with amazing vendors on the couple's wedding day!

We are U.S. Jow Ga Martial Arts, a small martial arts school out of Columbia MD. We perform traditional Chinese lion dances for various events! Jenette Le is quite possibly the best wedding planner we have had the pleasure to work with. The wedding seemed like it went really smoothly! I am not exaggerating when we have waited hours after a scheduled performance time due to delays in weddings. Communication was on point and we even went early! In my 17 years of doing lion dances I can count on my hand the number of weddings we have done that were on time or less than a 30-minute delay. Being early is a first! 100% Recommend!

Full disclosure: I did not hire Marta for my wedding- but she went above and beyond for us even after when we were clear that we wouldn't be clients. DETAILS: We're getting married in NC and for some reason Zola listed her as a local planner which I didn't realize. Ten minutes into the call, we realized she wasn't a fit for our needs. Instead of ending the call right there, Marta gave us a some incredible advice about the questions we should be asking planners when we're hiring them and other tips-- this is all after we made it clear that we weren't a match. She was extremely communicative, transparent, warm, and efficient-- truly everything we could hope for in a planner.

Kristen Caputo Weddings & Events is a wedding planning service that curates elevated events for memories that will last a lifetime! We offer everything from full-service planning packages to wedding coordination packages.

Kristen and her team were amazing- her services were the most critical part of our wedding! She was so organized and on top of everything for the wedding, as soon as I hired her I felt so much more at ease with the planning process. I did a pretty much DIY wedding, my venue did not provide anything other than the venue and furniture, therefore, I had a lot of moving parts to my wedding and multiple vendors involved. Kristen took all the chaotic information I provided and streamlined the whole thing. She organized everything for me into a very easy to follow timeline and then was in constant communication with all the vendors. My regular hair dresser is the hair dresser I used for my wedding and she and I are friends. She told me that from a vendor's perspective, Kristen was the best coordinator/planner she had ever worked with. She was very impressed with her constant communication and all of the details she thought of in preparation of the event. Kristen and her team took my vision and made it a reality which was no easy task but she got it done. This was hands down the most positive experience I had in wedding planning/preparation and I would highly recommend Kristen for any planning needs!

https://fb.watch/vutQlKGyby/ My name is Cynthia. I am the bride's mother, and this is a review of the amazing team of vendors who helped me execute the vision for my daughter's wedding. It all started close to two years ago when my daughter Madison called me to tell me she had just gotten engaged. Around two months later, she created her Pinterest board and showed it to me, and just like that... that was my queue! I was a wedding planner so I know how much work and planning a wedding takes. I called Madison and told her we would start interviewing vendors immediately. She asked if it was too soon and my answer was no! Weddings take about a year to a year and a half to plan. At the time Madison was a full-time employee and studying to get her Master's degree, so she was very limited in all of the planning, her main focus was finishing school before the wedding. Living in a different state, I depended on the internet, reviews, and calling each vendor to get a feel for how they responded to me and my views. This wedding was going to be a very organic yet elegant vegan wedding. My daughter had given me her vision and it was up to me to bring it to life. After many over-the-phone interviews, the vendors we chose were the perfect fit, the perfect DREAM TEAM! They all knew I lived in Miami and my daughter's wedding was in Virginia, so this would be a little more challenging for all of us. WEDDING PLANNER: E&E Design Company, Katie and Maegan, these two ladies are nothing short of AMAZING! They knew I was in the wedding planning business, Katie and Maegan listened, let me run through all my ideas, and then enhanced my vision and made it happen. These two ladies met with me on the day of the wedding at 10:00 AM and did not end until midnight, both of them are such hard workers. Meagan and Katie, you are always happy, positive, and helpful they are AWESOME! I appreciate you more than you know, thank you for making my daughter so happy! This was Madison and Nikko's DREAM WEDDING, and it was all created with lots of love and support. IT WAS EPIC! Cynthia Mother of the Bride

Hi there, I'm Melissa, but I go by Lissa. Welcome to my little corner of the internet- I'm so glad that you're here! I know that wedding planning can be a daunting process but I'm here to help navigate you through all of the craziness that comes with planning a wedding. I'm your planning BFF and hype-girl from the moment you get engaged to cheering you on as you bust a move on your wedding day! As a wedding planner and bridesmaid (x 10), I've seen pretty much every crazy scenario and I've got your back no matter what because you deserve the best experience possible! **Please inquire directly through my website**

Awarded Best of Zola
Lissa and her team was absolutely wonderful from the initial contact up to the end of our wedding day! No matter what kind of wedding you're having, she will make you and your partner feel like you have all of her attention as the most important couple. Throughout the whole process, she was so professional and supportive, even with not as traditional ideas. She had such a quick response time, usually within a day, or a couple hours, and sometimes even sooner! Her attention to detail in making my timeline was also amazing and I felt that we were able to have the whole day planned to the dot before the big day. On the wedding day, she made sure everything ran so smoothly and we were not stressed out at all! We had some small hiccups with the layouts that our venue had set up, but a quick word from Lissa had them fixing the issue. She's the perfect amount of assertiveness, professionalism, and friendliness with everyone, including the guests. The largest thing that stood out to us was how much all of our other vendors loved Lissa and working with her, and we could see it throughout the day. Our venue had restrictions such as a short setup window, but Lissa communicated with them and navigated the situation very well to make everything go smoothly. Even though we had a venue management person for the day of, it was nothing compared to working with someone that truly focuses on you and your needs. Our vision was captured beautifully, and we do not regret hiring her at all!

I'm a 30-something born and bred NOVA gal that's probably a little too brazen to be in the wedding industry but nearly seven years later, I'm still in it to win it! I've coordinated over 280 weddings & managed even more for venues! So I've seen some $#!t and have learned all of the tricks of the trade. When I'm not being a boss bitch on wedding days, I love to thrift shop, go paddle boarding, watch true crime, get tattoos and travel.

Working with Farrever After Events was an absolute pleasure, especially with Meghan as the wedding coordinator. She was incredibly friendly, responsive, and organized, making the entire process seamless. We truly felt like we were part of a team, as she ensured our timeline was smoothly integrated into the overall schedule. Thanks to her thorough planning and execution, we were able to focus entirely on our role as the DJ, which is often not the case. What stood out even more was Meghan’s professionalism in handling a family emergency. She arranged for another highly skilled coordinator to be on standby, ensuring that the event would go off without a hitch regardless of her personal situation. It's rare to work with someone so dedicated and capable. We're looking forward to more events with Meghan in the future!

Like many in the industry, I fell in love with planning weddings when I started planning my own in 2017. At the time, I was a corporate lawyer at a big firm in DC and it just hit me: I was totally in the wrong field! Since then, I have dedicated all of my free time to arranging my own events, helping my friends plan their own, and dreaming of the day that I could provide the same service for others.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had an exceptional experience with Evermore Occasions for our wedding in August 2024, and I can’t recommend highly enough. Carmen’s expertise was evident from the beginning as they worked with us to expertly managed every detail. Through their AislePlanner app, we meticulously discussed and documented everything from inspiration photos and checklists to guest lists, seating charts, budgeting, and timelines. Carmen and her team were incredibly organized and kept us aligned with every decision. Their attention to detail was impeccable, covering everything from communicating with wedding VIPs to organizing the ceremony setup, reception seating, favors, place settings, and ensuring compliance with venue regulations. They even handled the napkin folds and breakdown with precision. On the wedding day, Carmen and her team guided us seamlessly through the timeline, which had the perfect amount of buffer to accommodate any unexpected changes. We were kept informed about any issues—like one guest feeling unwell—only as needed, allowing us to truly enjoy our day. The positive feedback from our guests about the event’s flawless orchestration was overwhelming. The day after the wedding, we were amazed to find that everything had been packed up and returned without any extra venue charges. This smooth transition is a testament to Carmen and her team's dedication and efficiency. Their patience and support throughout the planning process turned what could have been a stressful experience into a joy. I wholeheartedly recommend Evermore Occasions to anyone looking for top-notch wedding planning services.

They made sure that our wedding would be the most special and magical day of our lives. Months later, my busband and I are still amazed when we think about how helpful Shinning Time was to make our wedding happen. We cannot thank Shinning Time enough! They were dedicated and brought our ideas and vision to life. From the start to finish, they tirelessly worked hard to ensure that everything would go smoothly. The attention to details, the design, and the execution of how everything turned out was beyond our expectations. Our wedding ceremony and reception are are two different locations. Shine designed both events from beginning to finish. Both Rina and Shine made us feel like a VIP and made our lives SO much easier during the wedding planning process and the wedding day itself. They were very helpful and resourceful. They created so many beautiful memories for us. As a bride, I could be picky and anxious, but every single detail they did so perfectly and was right on point. The whole wedding day we just laughed and enjoyed, not having to worry about anything because we know we are in good hands of theirs. It was very easy to communicate with them if we needed to make adjustments or special requests. I would send them so many messages and emails every week and they always replied within hours with THE answers we needed. They made sure that we had all the information that we needed beforehand. During the wedding day, Shining Time and the team executed the plan perfectly. Thank you, Rina, Shine and team again for such professionalism and hospitality!!

Hi! I'm Jill Smith, owner, creative, wife and mother. I have been in the Washington, D.C. metro area for 38 years as a financial professional (28 years), and after retiring early, began planning weddings and events. I am a certified wedding planner, florist and designer. Jill Smith Events and Designs has a team of professional individuals skilled in planning, florals, and designs. We produce events at a variety of venues in the DC/VA/MD area. We partner with couples in the area, and often areas beyond. Our goal is to ensure a seamless, memorable event that lasts a lifetime!

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!

Hi, my name is Katrina! I have been coordinating weddings for almost over a decade now. I started doing weddings with my mother who was an event planner and designer at the time and fell in love with the process and being part of such a beautiful occasion. I work with clients directly from weeks to several months to help curate, design, execute making their dream come to fruition!

I had the pleasure of working with Katrina as our wedding coordinator and I cannot speak highly enough of her attention to detail and meticulous planning. Though I had 15 people in my wedding, due to covid, it still felt like a dream come true getting married that day. She had planned a mini surprise for my best friends to come and see me before I got married which was very special. I thank Katrina for making my wedding a memorable one and even though it wasn’t traditional because of covid, she was still able to bring out what I had envisioned for my covid-19 wedding. Her quality of service was superb and I highly recommend.

I am a wedding planner certified by the Wedding Planning Institute at George Mason University. I am based in Springfield, VA, and work throughout the DC, MD, and Loudoun County, VA. As a fun-loving, adventure-craving 20-something, I am also your girl for destination weddings at any spot on the globe! I discovered my passion for wedding planning while designing my own. I would get comments about how "on top of things" or "how organized," and I soon began receiving requests from other engaged couples. I quickly discovered the joy of creating that special day that people have been dreaming of their entire lives and, soon after, launched SWP.

Schilling Wedding Planning was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication was quick, clear, and always on point, which was so helpful during the busy planning process. As our day-of coordinators, Macy and her team were incredibly detail-oriented and really understood the vision I had for our DIY-heavy wedding. They seamlessly executed my plans and made the day-of logistics a total breeze, allowing my husband and I to just enjoy ourselves. I can't recommend Schilling Wedding Planning highly enough - they truly helped make our special day perfect.

Penderview Events truly went above and beyond to make our day PERFECT. As a DIY and meticulous bride, we knew Anna was the one we would entrust with our vision the moment we had our phone consultation; she was so incredibly sweet and enthusiastic about our big day, and I immediately felt a sense of ease that she will be able to handle all the shenanigans and i can pass her the torch with ease. Although she was hired for "day of", she assisted us in any way possible months leading to and made sure we were on top of all the important tasks leading up to the day of (i.e. vendors contact info, finalizing timeline for the morning/day of, etc.). My big day unfortunately started off disastrous (I became car sick), so I was unable to give guidance with the decor during set up. But since one of the tasks Anna asked me weeks prior was for a list with all the decor and how/where I wanted them placed, Penderview legit made my vision come true!!!!!!!! Penderview was so attentive, that they were even able to place some items which I gave no instructions for (i.e. last minute decided that we wanted wedding party to sit during the ceremony, so I made name placement cards for the reserved chairs, and without mentioning it, they were placed on the chairs in processional order). Penderview was able to execute every event and details on the timeline FLAWLESSLY, and I was able to enjoy the event with ease knowing that everything was in such capable hands. We felt and saw how invested Penderview was throughout the day in making it perfect for us, especially the attention to details and handling all the logistics smoothly behind-the-scenes. I also really appreciated Anna’s assertiveness when hiccups would arise (ie, making sure guests wouldnt be walking in while were ready down the aisle/stay out of view, wedding party prioritized drinking and forgot to come back for portraits; flower girls kept running infront of camera during portraits, and so many other headaches i did not want to deal with, etc.) Not only was Anna able to accomplish and execute my vision beyond expectations, but she was also my emotional support and my right-hand lady, making sure I was always hydrated. Anna’s empathetic and kind demeanor made her feel more like a close friend than just a ‘day of coordinator’. Hiring Penderview was the best investment we made. Thank you so much for making our day magical and we will forever be grateful to Penderview!!!

My name is Naytza Pato, I'm from Puerto Rico, bilingual and living in Virginia for 12 years. I am passionate about decoration,coordination and planning because I believe they have the power to transform spaces and create meaningful experiences. It all started when 5 years ago I became the event coordinator of my church. We've been in official business for two years now and I LOVE what we do. Ultimately, what fuels my passion for decoration and planning is the ability to bring beauty and meaning into people's lives. It's the joy on someone's face when they walk into a space I've decorated and feel a sense of wonder or nostalgia.

From the moment we started planning our wedding with The Bliss & Co LLC, we knew we were in good hands. Naytza and her team were incredibly friendly, fast to respond, and highly professional throughout the entire process. Their attention to detail and commitment to making our day special was truly above and beyond. Naytza was amazing to work with - she made us feel reassured that everything would go smoothly, kept us informed every step of the way, and even came a day early to be at our rehearsal. Her great communication and ability to keep us on schedule made the whole experience stress-free. We would highly recommend working with The Bliss & Co LLC for any couple looking for an amazing wedding planning experience.

They are highly recommended to all. Great communication, Excellent customer service. Our 3rd time using this company because they do it all ha-ha and we appreciate their honesty and transparency. We do not regret the choice of booking them for our wedding. We love a great planning company that will not rip you off. You know exactly where every dime is going thanks to Amaka and her report sheet. They also do not charge you for every little add on like other planners do. Let’s also mention that they always work with our budget, but we usually end up tipping because they're just soo goood :-). One thing we really love, is having our own contracts for vendors. Vendors will send out contracts to Amaka, and she in return will send contracts to the vendors to sign on our behalf so it made us feel very comfortable with booking the recommended vendors. It keeps us safe from vendors that cancel last minute or show up late.

I have spent the last 8 years planning, coordinating, and running events, conferences, and weddings. When the world froze during COVID, I continued my studies and got my Certified Wedding Planner certificate. It has been beyond fulfilling to bring families together and be a part of couples’ love-filled, special day.

From the bottom of my heart, we wouldn’t have the wedding we did without Fern and Mason. She went above and beyond in making sure that not only our visions came to life, but we were also taken care of as bride and groom. She was so attentive throughout the entire process and dealt with my craziness and anxiety, reassuring me that she would do everything in her power to make all of our dreams come true. From messaging Fern in the wee hours of the morning, to Mason rolling tables to the tent in torrential downpour, this duo does not quit to make everything perfect. I have not stopped thinking about our wedding for a second since it has happened and how perfectly everything went!! Not only am I lucky enough to call them friends, but I am even more grateful to have trusted them with the most important day of my life. I truly could go on and on about these two. I couldn’t think of anyone better to do the job and will be recommending them to anyone stepping foot into the insane wedding planning world. Trust them and all your dreams will come true.

Kolena & her team at Blue Sapphire Events are STELLAR. My husband and I have hectic jobs and I am an evening student which meant we needed all the help we could get to plan our wedding! In stepped Kolena, who helped us design, plan, and execute the most perfect day. We wanted to put up a sailcloth tent and hold our entire event outside at a family member's home. That involved bringing in EVERYTHING - the tents, the tables & chairs, the bars, the plates & glassware, the restroom trailers! and so much more. Kolena managed everything for us - from vendor sourcing to rental coordination to the burdensome permitting process for the tent. She was onsite for every site visit, the tent/rental setup, the rehearsal, and the day itself. From the very beginning, Kolena was capable, calm, and so thoughtful. We were married in May but I don't like pinks & pastels (your traditional spring wedding palettes). Without missing a beat, Kolena designed a gorgeous, lush green & white palette with black accents. She listens and really understands her clients -- it felt so US. Because our event was at a private property, we couldn't accommodate parking for our guests. I was particularly worried about ensuring the shuttles were reliable & ready for our guests. Kolena handled the entire process - from sourcing different quotes through the contract process and on the day-of to make sure everything went smoothly. On the day of our wedding, Kolena seamlessly helmed a vendor team of close to 25 people. She brilliantly suggested we put ponchos on guest chairs, in case it started to rain during our ceremony (it did) and transitioned our cocktail hour from outdoors to under the reception tent at lightning speed. As you can see, I have endless good things to say about Kolena & her team at Blue Sapphire Events. She works harder than almost anyone I've met, she's creative, she truly cares about every one of her clients, and I'm so, so grateful that she lent us her talents to make our wedding day perfect!
