Reviews of A. Griffin Events (Event Planner)

Max & Jorian Lenik

Aimee and her team are unparalleled. Throughout the planning process they made it their first priority to ensure we felt comfortable, happy, and stress-free. Aimee would explain the terms of all of our contracts as we received them, broke down and organized all of our payments and budget needs, coordinated all communication with our vendors so that we didn't have to, she attended all meetings and fittings, helped us design our wedding, and so much more. Aimee and her team listened to our concerns and questions and were so flexible as we made our decisions. They're also very quick to problem-solve if needed. On the wedding day Aimee brought a number of assistants with her to help ensure each detail was executed properly and that we were taken care of. We didn't have to lift a finger (other than to drink our champagne) on the wedding day and it was the best feeling to just sit back and enjoy everything with our family and friends. Working with A. Griffin Events is like working with your best friends in the best way possible. We would choose A. Griffin Events over and over again and we HIGHLY recommend them!!!

There are no words to describe how amazing Aimee and her team are. We hired A. Griffin Events to provide month of coordinating services for our wedding, and it was one of the best decisions that we made. From our first call with Aimee, Rachel, and Jorian, we knew that they were the people we wanted to help out with our big day. They were so patient, understanding, and kind, and I felt like I was talking with old friends on our first call rather than complete strangers!! We worked mostly with Rachel, the month of coordinating specialist, and she was always there to answer questions or help out with anything we needed. She was very thorough and detailed, and included Aimee and Jorian on every detail of the big day. Even though we had hired the team for just month of coordinating services, we felt like we had hired a full wedding planner! They were always available when we had a question, or needed recommendations, or even when I was feeling stressed out they were a comforting and familiar voice. The month prior to the wedding, all of the planning was taken out of my hands and Rachel took full lead on any and all communications with our vendors. Any bride knows that there is a lot more that goes on behind the scenes of a wedding besides just the logistical things (like family and random little things!) so it was such a relief to have that taken off our hands. By the time the wedding day came around, we felt so relaxed and comfortable. And honestly, everything could not have gone more perfectly!!! Rachel, Aimee, and Jorian did not miss a beat throughout the whole day, and never at any point of the day did we or our parents feel stressed. We received so many compliments from our wedding guests about how perfect everything seemed to be, and it truly was perfect in every way! We could not have been any happier with A. Griffin Events; our wedding would not have been possible without their support. What truly sets this team apart is that besides their superb and outstanding attention to detail, they are amazing listeners and work hard to get to know you as people and as friends. We cannot thank you enough, Aimee, Rachel and Jorian!!

Aimee and Jorian were absolutely amazing from the start. They were organized, professional, friendly, and open! I truly can't say enough about how wonderful they are. The second that they began the planning and execution process with me, I felt a weight lifted. They took care of communicating with all vendors, sending me certain reminders such as when payments were due for various aspects of the wedding, being proactive about setting up meetings with me, etc. The day of the actual wedding was 100% stress-free. I have witnessed when brides and her family are completely consumed with many tasks throughout the day of the wedding. I didn't feel one ounce of stress or worry. Jorian took care of absolutely everything that needed to be done. I know how grateful I am to have had Jorian there (and associates) the day of the wedding, and my parents were equally (if not more) grateful. If you want your wedding to run seamlessly and actually enjoy your wedding day, do not hesitate to use A. Griffin Events. Five stars all around! I am so thankful!

5000 million stars for A. Griffin Events!! Working with Aimee and her team was fun, and empowering. We had an intimate wedding on the National Mall. What could have been a logistical nightmare, was a vision of perfection. Aimee and her team transformed the simple monument into the most romantic beautiful ceremony. There was a beautiful lounge area featuring a perfect pink settee and guest were welcomed with fresh lemonade from a perfectly appointed bar cart. Aimee and her team did not a single detail. When I first spoke with Aimee, I described my wedding as an elopement; what I got was Enchantment and the most perfect day from start to finish. I’m sure there were 134 hiccups leading up to my wedding, there most certainly had to have been a few on the day of; yet, I am none the wiser. Aimee and her team are wedding ninjas, they move swiftly, quietly, and jump into action. These ladies have magical powers and would be invisible, if weren’t for their bright smiles of encouragement. Aimee is connected and can truly make anything happen. The day before our wedding we found out that my fiancé’s mom was in the hospital and could not attend the wedding. Aimee found us the most wonderful videographer to ensure his mom could relive the day with us. My day was perfect, and I owe to Aimee her team.

A. Griffin Events provides an incredibly high level of service to her clients. Aimee works tirelessly for her clients and treats everyone involved in the planning process as though they were a member of her own family. Each event that Aimee and her team executes is personal and 100% tailored to her clients personalities, in every facet. She presents her clients with many options and vendors to choose from, and advises them in the decisions for their wedding day. Aimee is incredibly creative and brings a fine art background to her planning and event design, and the end result is a one-of-a-kind event with truly unique details. She is not only kind, but extremely organized, always punctual, and a professional who gets the job done. I have had the pleasure of working with Aimee and her team on several events over the years and am so grateful for her in this industry. If you are planning a wedding or special event and looking for a boutique planning experience and a life long friend, look no further than A. Griffin Events.

We found A Griffin through Wedding Wire and after a 30 minute call, we knew Aimee and Jorian would be the folks we trusted with our wedding. As we had an interfaith wedding with two ceremonies in one day and needed a team that could handle two weddings in one day. Throughout the process, we checked in with them via phone or email and they walked us through our questions, concerns, and really guided us through items we would've never thought about. Additionally, we used A Griffin to source other vendors and they walked us through the vendor hiring process and helped us ask the right questions. We really appreciated this because our vendor teams were one of the best parts of the wedding. As we did the final walk through, Aimee and Jorian came prepared with all the documents and got the vendors to understand our vision. This really helped us feel comfortable as we got closer to the wedding. Additionally, we needed party rentals at the very last minute and Aimee and Jorian provided us with options and helped us close out last minute loops. The day of the wedding, Aimee was the main POC for the HIndu Ceremony and it was flawless. The evening was handled mainly by Jorian and my big Indian family could not stop talking about how amazing this team was!!! Thank you so much for being a part of our day and making it the best!

Aimee has done a wonderful job of our wedding. She is detail-oriented but not over the top and has an awesome team working for her not to mention the right connections to get any issue sorted out in no time at all. Highly recommend her services.

Aimee is a consummate professional and made the entire process smooth. She provided full planning and design services, helping us achieve the bride and groom’s wishes, managing a beautiful wedding day, yet keeping us in budget. She delivered on every aspect of the weekend and was able to ensure all the details were handled. As the mother of the bride, I could relax and enjoy my daughter’s special day! Many thanks are due to Aimee and her team. We have already recommended her firm to another friend in DC.
