    Professional & Attentive

    Working with Bay & Barn Event Planning LLC was a game changer for our wedding day. Mariah was incredibly responsive and didn't hesitate to share her expertise when we needed guidance, which took so much stress off our shoulders. She went above and beyond to make sure every detail reflected who we are as a couple, and her attention throughout the planning process made all the difference. What impressed us most was that we stayed right on schedule without feeling rushed, and the whole day flowed perfectly. Working with Bay & Barn Event Planning LLC was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Mariah was constantly in touch with us and never hesitated to offer her thoughts when we needed guidance, which made the entire planning process feel smooth and stress-free. She went above and beyond to add special touches that made our day truly ours, and her attention to detail showed in every moment. On the wedding day itself, we stayed right on schedule without feeling rushed, which meant we could actually enjoy each other and our guests instead of stressing about timing. For what we paid, the quality of work we received far exceeded what we expected. Mariah's experience and care throughout the whole process made all the difference, and we can't recommend her highly enough. For what we paid, we got so much more than we expected. We'd recommend Bay & Barn to any couple looking for a planner who truly cares about their day.

    Could’ve been better

    Bay & Barn was by far the most affordable planner I could find in the DC area. Mariah was quick to respond to email or texts. However my actual wedding day seemed disjointed. The layout of our space was atypical so it was hard to see or hear major announcements, e.h. wedding party entrances, first dance, cake cutting. I’d expressed that my biggest concern was the flow of the wedding/reception and how things would come together. I ultimately feel like they didn’t. I probably should’ve known this would happen considering Mariah and her team hadn’t been to my venue before. I wish I’d asked her to do a site visit even if it meant paying more money.

    Hi Caroline, Thank you for your feedback and for choosing Bay & Barn to be part of your wedding day. I'm glad you felt supoprted in communication leading up to the event. I do want to provide a bit of contecnt for future coupels reading this. For this event, we were brought in at the reception, several key elements, including the layout, vendor placement and timeline details were pre-determined prior to our services beginning, they also were adjusted after our services began and before we arrived on scene. We had limited communication with the venue, and ultimately didn't have a designated point of contact to review in detail prior to the event. Without a scheduled rehearsal or finalized formalities (such as the entrances, the layout change and music selections), many pieces of the evening required adjusted in real time. Our team worked quickly to step in, coordinatiate with vendors and support wherever needed, including an additional assistant at no additional cost, and assisting with setup and cleanup outside of our scope, provided to ensure things kept moving as smoothly as possible. For couples considering services, we always recommend a rehresal, confirmed vendor details and clear communication prior to the wedding day, as those elements play a major role in overall flow and guest experience. Wishing you both all the best in this next chapter 🤍 — Bay & Barn Event Planning LLC

Yes! Booking with Bay & Barn instantly confirms at least a team of 2 will be present on your wedding day!
We do. Our payment plans vary and we do try to accomdate requests. Our standard payment plan requires a retainer due at time of booking, with the remaining balance divided in equal monthly payments, with the last payment one full moth before the wedding date.
Yes! Mariah (owner) is directly involved throughout the entire process. I complete all consultations calls personally, as well as the wedding detail call with each client and every booked vendor they may have. I'm the primary contact for all communication during that time. I do a debriefing with my assistant(s) a few days before the wedding to let them know what support I need and at which moments. I personally attend and coordinate the wedding day, with the support of my team.
Because just like your partner.... you've found "the one". We treat your wedding like it actually matters, because it does!
Absolutely. We are a registered business and carry insurance. A COI can be provided upon request.
