About Schilling Wedding Planning

Schilling Wedding Planning

Founder & Director

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.

After planning more than 200 weddings, I have had the unique opportunity of working in nearly every aspect of an event — from planning to catering, florals to photography. I strive to make the process as enjoyable and seamless as possible. I plan and run your event with not only you but also your vendors in mind. I give them the time and tools needed for them to give you the best service they can, making your event run as perfectly as possible!

In three words: Confident, Organized, Positive

    Macy rocks!

    We absolutely loved working with Macy! Macy’s professionalism, preparedness, and warm nature made her an exceptional choice for our special day. Macy is detail oriented, patient and goes above and beyond to make sure your special day runs perfectly. From the first meeting, she understood our vision and worked with us to make sure all vendors worked together seamlessly. Beyond vendor coordination, her vast experience allowed us to take a breath and unplug a bit on the big day because we knew no matter what came our way (even a nor’easter!), Macy had a plan. Her rain plan saved the day and most guests didn’t even realize that it was a rain plan because everything was done with such intention. Macy is well respected within her field and is prepared for any situation. We highly recommend her and her team for your wedding whether large or small. Thanks Macy for everything!

    Mrs.

    Working with Schilling Wedding Planning was a mixed experience for us. Leading up to the wedding, communication felt slow and we struggled to get detailed responses about important details like our linens. There wasn’t much interest in helping us with exit plan and cleanup logistics. We were disappointed by the lack of enthusiasm shown during the planning process and wished our planner had been more proactive and detail-oriented. However, on the day of our wedding, everything came together smoothly and our planner was quick to handle any last-minute issues that came up. While the planning phase left us stressed, the actual event ran without major problems. If you choose Schilling, just know that you may need to be more hands-on during planning, but they do deliver on the day itself.

    Hi Karen, Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that everything came together smoothly on your wedding day and that our team was able to handle any last-minute issues that arose. We would like to clarify that the package selected was our Pence Package, which is a day-of coordination package rather than a planning or partial planning service. As such, our involvement during the planning process is more limited than with our more comprehensive packages. Regarding the linens, the delay was due to the linen company determining whether additional inventory could be made available for the pattern you selected, as it was a particularly popular design at the time, not due to unresponsiveness. We appreciate the opportunity to have been part of your wedding day and wish you both a lifetime of happiness together! Warmly, Schilling Wedding Planning

    Expert planning! Macy is a joy to work with!

    Macy made us feel so confident throughout the wedding planning process. We really had no idea what we were doing, but she guided us through all the details, and made sure we weren't overlooking anything. I don't know how the wedding would have happened without her. She was always ready with advise, but without pressure, and she helped two very indecisive people make some big decisions. More than that she is so warm and friendly, our calls were something we genuinely looked forward to. She knows how to make the process fun, while still taking care of what needs to get done.

    Macy is Amazing!! Fantastic Experience

    Hiring our planner was hands-down one of the best decisions we made. Macy's organization, calm demeanor, and attention to detail made the entire planning process feel manageable and enjoyable. On the wedding day, she and her team handled every detail seamlessly, allowing us to be fully present and stress-free. She anticipated needs before they arose and coordinated vendors with absolute professionalism. Everything ran smoothly and on schedule, and we were able to enjoy our day knowing we were in the best hands. We are endlessly grateful for Macy's expertise and support.

    You're in good hands with Macy!

    It was such a pleasure having Macy by our sides for our big day! From our very first call with her, we could see how organized, professional, and competent she was. She absolutely made me feel much more relaxed about the planning process, and I went into my wedding day confident that things would be great (and if not, Macy had it!). She navigated some difficult vendors with grace, and thought on her feet when my original officiant's car broke down on the way to the venue. And she has fantastic relationships with a lot of venues and vendors in NoVa. We absolutely recommend Macy to all brides/grooms/couples!
