    Connie and Team are Amazing!!!

    We truly cannot recommend our day-of coordinator enough! She was absolutely amazing from start to finish and made our wedding day feel completely stress-free. She handled every detail behind the scenes so seamlessly, which allowed us to simply be present, enjoy every moment, and soak in such a special day with our family and friends. Knowing she had everything taken care of gave us so much peace of mind, and we are incredibly grateful for everything she did to make our day run so smoothly. If you’re looking for someone who is organized, dependable, and genuinely cares about making your wedding day perfect, she is the one. We would recommend her to absolutely everyone!

    For anyone reading this review, just book her!!! She is the solution to all your questions, the ones you have and the ones you don’t even know you have! Connie is not only so kind and affectionate towards her clients, she treats them like her own family and makes sure every need is met! Connie and her team not only brought my vision to life, but made it exponentially better and made sure that every tiny detail was taken care of. The entire wedding went thru flawlessly and she was there, by your side, every step of the way. Connie is the best wedding planner there is, hands down! I will be recommending her to all my friends and family, and I hope to keep in contact with her throughout the years because she is such a beautiful soul! 1000000000 stars to Connie and her team! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making our wedding so perfect!

    I don’t know if there are the right words to describe just how wonderful and perfect Connie was for our wedding. I currently live out of town, and she worked with my wife to make sure everything you could think of and everything you didn’t think of was planned out beautifully. She worked with my group who came into town at different times and coordinated everything perfectly. If to sum up why you would ever consider Connie, she made my day truly stress free; everyone knew where to go when, things moved along schedule, and she kept such a watchful eye over the entire gathering that went as smoothly as we dreamt. She is so kind that I wish we were friends so we could see her more often! Thank you, Connie for being apart of our day and making it incredibly special.

    We cannot say enough amazing things about Connie and the incredible job she and her team did coordinating our wedding. We had a wedding of about 150 guests, which is a lot of moving pieces, people, and details to keep track of, but Connie made everything feel completely effortless. She handled everything with such calmness, professionalism, and confidence that we never felt overwhelmed by everything going on behind the scenes. From the very beginning, Connie was caring, thoughtful, and incredibly considerate every step of the way. She genuinely cared about making sure our day was everything we wanted it to be, and she was always willing to help, answer questions, clarify details, and make sure we felt taken care of. You can certainly tell that Connie has been doing this for many, many years because her experience TRULY shows. She knows exactly what she is doing, she anticipates things before they even become an issue, and she has a way of making an incredibly busy wedding day look like an absolute breeze. Our guests were absolutely blown away by Connie and her team and kept telling us throughout the night and even after the wedding how amazing she was. Our wedding party is still talking about what a fantastic, organized, and professional job she did. She was truly such a calming presence throughout the entire day, and knowing that she was handling everything allowed us to actually relax and enjoy our wedding instead of worrying about logistics. We feel so blessed and honored that Raynorshine events was the coordinating our wedding day. We could not have asked for anyone better, and our day would not have been as perfect as it was without her. She went above and beyond in every way, and we are so incredibly grateful for everything she did for us. If you are looking for someone who is experienced, caring, professional, organized, and genuinely invested in making your wedding day special, we cannot recommend Connie enough. She was absolutely phenomenal, and we will be forever grateful that she was such an important part of our wedding day! Thank goodness we found her!!


Yes! In addition to weddings, Raynor Shine Events can assist with bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, welcome celebrations, farewell brunches, engagement parties, anniversary celebrations, and other wedding-related events. Services can include planning, vendor coordination, timeline development, setup and event-day management, depending on your needs. We also offer an extensive décor-rental collection to help create a beautiful, cohesive celebration while simplifying the sourcing, transportation, setup, and cleanup of those special details.
We typically limit ourselves to one wedding per day so our full attention and care can be devoted to each couple’s special day. In very select circumstances, we may accommodate a second wedding, but only when we have two experienced and fully prepared teams available. We never take on more than two weddings in one day, ensuring every couple receives the personalized support, organization, and attention they deserve.
Yes! Raynor Shine Events has built strong relationships with trusted, experienced, and insured wedding professionals throughout Maryland, Northern Virginia, Washington, D.C., and surrounding areas. Rather than providing the same generic list to every couple, we offer personalized recommendations based on your wedding location, style, budget, priorities, and personality. While the final selection is always yours, we’re happy to help you compare options, review proposals, and assemble a dependable vendor team that feels right for your celebration.
Yes! We offer an extensive collection of wedding décor rentals, along with a fully organized inventory catalog that allows our clients to explore available pieces and pricing. Our collection includes ceremony décor, table accents, signage and display pieces, candles, greenery, table numbers, easels, etc. Having access to our in-house collection helps couples avoid the expense and stress of purchasing, transporting, setting up, and storing décor they may only use once. We can also help select pieces that complement your venue, color palette, and overall vision, then coordinate delivery, setup, and removal based on your pkg and event needs.
