Reviews of Glint Events (Event Planner)

Used them as 30 day planners for our wedding, they did a wonderful job! Made things so easy so we didn't have to think twice on our big day. They also helped us to put together our polaroid guest book and a candy bar takeaway at the end of the evening.

For those brides out here that are deciding between getting a planner or not- DO IT. And if you want the best of the best- go with Glint Events. Weddings bring so much stress along with them; trust me more than you think! It was so nice to have Glint to lean back on and hand task off to. Best of all, they are professional - they are 100% dedicated to this industry and just like you would trust a professional painter to paint your house, you should have a professional that really understands the wedding industry. The Glint team made my dream wedding a reality - they listened to my ideas, did research, and then gave me options so I still felt very much involved. Best of all, the day of the wedding I was so relaxed because I know Glint had everything taken care of - my parents and in-laws were able to relax too because they didn’t have to lift a finger! This allowed to us to really focus on what was important- getting married! We were able to soak in the day. The event went off without a hitch. I wish I could hire them for everyday life!! Thank you so much Glint Events!!

Lovebirds Events did our wedding in August. We interviewed several planners, and we are SO glad we went with Kate. It was a true pleasure working with Kate. She kept us on trip and helped make sure our day was as stress free as possible! We highly recommend Lovebirds Events!

Emily and Kate from Glint Events planned our fall 2017 wedding. We begun planing our wedding over a year in advance, but we ran into some roadblocks booking our dream venue. After over six months of waiting, we were so fortunate that Glint was still available on our wedding day. They delivered so much value before booking, and we knew that we needed to work with them as soon as we were able to do so. Planning a wedding in Richmond can be intimidating, especially because we were doing it from out of town. Emily walked us through the process, recommended unbelievable vendors, and made planning as stress-free as possible. During the wedding weekend, Kate hosted a flawless rehearsal, stayed in constant contact, and facilitated an unbelievable event. Kate has so much depth on her team, and we're so lucky to have had their help on our big day.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Glint Events! Emily was just an absolute dream to work with. When I got engaged, we had a year and a half to plan our wedding. I wanted time to be able to plan, and enjoy the process. However, I knew that due to the size of my guest list (250 people) that I would need some help. I chose the Day of Wedding Coordination, and added a planning meeting as well. Best decision ever! Emily worked so hard brainstorming ideas with me, and perfecting our timeline, to many many more things! I just cannot say enough about Emily and the team at Glint. During my wedding week, I was not stressed at all - no stress on the day before or the day of, because I knew that Emily was there for me. She was always one step ahead and had a plan for everything! When my priest did show up to the rehearsal, Emily stepped in and performed better than he did on the wedding day! We had the BEST day ever on June 11th, and we could not have done it without Emily. Glint Events is the best of the best - and I will absolutely refer and use them in the future!

Kate, Anna, Becca and Emily at Glint Events were an absolute dream to work with. Their attention to detail, responsiveness and creativity were invaluable throughout the planning process. Our destination wedding in Williamsburg, VA went off without a hitch and my fiance and I were able to relax and enjoy the day to the fullest. If you're looking for top-notch, full service wedding planning, Glint delivers. Each and every vendor recommendation was spot on and Glint respected our budget at all the steps along the way. I cannot recommend the team at Glint enough.

Amy Bruce

I first met Kate at a bridal expo and immediately after speaking to her I knew that I needed to work with her and her team. Up until that point I was very worried about being an overly anxious bride-to-be, but whenever I spoke to Kate that nervous feeling totally disappeared. Throughout the wedding planning process, Kate was there to answer any and all questions I had, whether it was about vendors or the vision of our special day. Leading up to the wedding, Kate sent me a very detailed timeline and communicated with all of the vendors which was a huge weight lifted from my shoulders! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and I truly believe that that was due to Kate and Emily being there and taking care of every little detail. If there were any mishaps that day, I was blissfully unaware. I can honestly say that hiring Glint Events for day of coordination was the BEST decision I made during my wedding planning process! I very strongly recommend Glint Events to anyone who is looking for a wedding or event planner!

Shirley Sutton

I cannot say enough good things about Glint Events. Kate and Lauren were fantastic. Their recommendations of vendors and suggestions for every detail of my daughter's wedding were wonderful. With me living in Tidewater, my daughter in Richmond, and the wedding venue in Central Virginia we needed Glint Events to keep us on task and to make planning the wedding and the wedding as stress free as possible. Thank you Kate and Lauren. I highly recommend Glint Events.

Molly Holmes

I highly recommend Glint Events as your wedding planners! We worked with Kate, who immediately understood our vision and executed it more beautifully than we could have ever imagined. It was truly a gorgeous and flawless wedding. We wish we could experience it all over again!

Sarah Huang Spota

Kate and her team did a fabulous job! The big day went off without a hitch. I am so grateful for her amazing team and their ability to manage our families and manage all of the extenuating factors that come with a wedding. Our special day was absolutely perfect. Thank you, Glint Events! I'll be recommending them to all of our friends and family for their event planning and wedding planning needs.

Kelsey Fatsi

Lovebird events was absolutely amazing throughout our entire planning process and day-of celebrations. Kate was our full-time planner/organizer and Emily worked with us as our day-of coordinator. My now-husband (yay!) and I live in Colorado but are originally from Virginia. Due to the long distance planning, we chose our planner carefully since we wouldn't be able to meet vendors or even see the location until months after they were booked. Kate was flexible with our busy schedules and was always available to check in via phone calls, texts, skype or email. We had very unique ideas for both our ceremony and reception, and Kate went out of her way to make those dreams happen without any judgement about it being so different than most weddings in the area. She seemed just as excited about the wedding as we were! She created vision boards during the first stages of our planning process to be sure that we were on the same page which was so helpful. I totally trusted Kate to advocate for what we were wanting. She kept our budget in check and was always finding the best deals for us. Kate and her team saved me from hours and hours of scanning the internet for vendors that fit our style. She has so many connections in Richmond. We really could not have done it without her. Her whole team was responsive and available practically at all hours, making my pre-wedding anxieties almost nonexistent - I didn't think that was possible! On the day of I was completely relaxed and happy, able to soak in all of the joy and beauty knowing that Emily had all of the details under control. She was fantastic as well. She must have been so busy that day making sure everything was set up as we wanted, moving furniture from cocktail hour to the reception flawlessly, and managing any unexpected surprises that we did not predict (including running out of beer - yikes!). She did this without anyone noticing and without stress...everything happened exactly as we hoped without me having to worry. Both Kate and Emily are amazing, easy to talk to and work with, and truly listen and work to make your dream day come into reality. It was absolutely the happiest and most magical day of my life, and Lovebird Events is the reason. They're the best in VA!

Logan Taylor

Kate did an excellent job helping my fiance and I with our wedding planning! She went up and above expectations and was always a reassuring presence for me. She was very low key which helped me to relax! Kate made the process less stressful and allowed me to focus on what truly mattered, which was my husband's and my marriage. I would highly recommend Kate and Glint to anyone planning an event.

Erin Laray Stubbs

Kate, Emily and the whole Glint team are absolutely wonderful to work with. They are very responsive to any question that comes up and have made planning our wedding very enjoyable and relaxed. Kate is extremely detailed-oriented and understands us very well as a couple -- she has gone above and beyond to connect us with vendors that best suit our style and the vision we have for our big day. We are so glad to be working with Glint and would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a wedding or event planner!

Nectar Sunglasses

Glint Events was amazing to work with and truly made our dream wedding a reality! They took our ideas from start to finish and executed flawlessly on every detail. We will be recommending Glint to all of our friends who eventually tie the knot as well!

MaryClaire Martin

We could not have been more thrilled to have Kate as part of our vendor team! We chose Glint as our 30-day coordinator because she made us instantly comfortable from our first meeting, offering advice and setting us at ease about the stress of the big day. Kate was there throughout the weekend to ensure things went smoothly, even coming to the hotel where we were getting ready after we expressed concern about getting everything done in time. She went above and beyond and made sure we only knew the wonderful things that happened that day, and we didn't have to worry about a thing! We could not recommend Glint Events more!

Audrey Keller

I was referred to Glint by my maid of honor who used Kate and her team for her own wedding. I booked their Wedding Day Coordination package for my May 28th wedding. I knew I wanted to book with them about 2 minutes into chatting with Kate. Her immediate understanding of my vision for the day and passion for what she does made it a perfect fit. Kate introduced me to Devin who was my point person and my main coordinator for the day, and we instantly clicked. She was extremely organized and clearly knew what she was doing. I had no hesitation in handing my wedding details and contracts over to her. On the day of my wedding Devin and the rest of the Glint team was wonderful. I cannot emphasize enough how much having them as my wedding coordinator made the day completely stress free and much more enjoyable. Thank you Glint!

Leslie Marrin

Kate and her team went above and beyond to make my daughter’s wedding flawless! This team is so professional. Their relationships with so many wonderful partners (your florist, your bakery, your photographer, your entertainment and so on) make for a seamless day. From the small details to the big overwhelming ones, Kate and team kept our day going with a positive, calming effect. Not to mention the month prior! She balances all the details, emotions and input so professionally. Sure, you can try to plan your special day by yourself but why! Why be frazzled or overwhelmed? My daughter and I love to plan parties but when it’s your wedding and emotions are running high, let this team take over and enjoy yourself! Kate is amazing - and ask her about the togas

Patricia Trotta

Kate was fabulous throughout the whole process of coordinating our wedding. Our wedding was rescheduled because I was diagnosed with cancer. Although it was a setback, she always treated me like every other client which was greatly appreciated. I shared my concerns with her and had great ideas which made me feel more confident about our wedding. She made the day go smoothly for me which was invaluable because all we had to do was enjoy it! Thanks Kate!

Josh Starliper

Emily was wonderful and made our wedding reception incredible! 100% recommend Glint for your special occasions.

Jessica Beall

Kate and the Lovebirds Events team were absolutely amazing! Kate was so helpful, always available for questions and always willing to offer any needed advice! Her planning spreadsheets were great at keeping us on task, and her calm and positive personality kept the planning process fun! On our wedding day, I don't know what we would have done without her -- she kept everyone on schedule, was always there if we needed her, but didn't get in the way! Overall, I would recommend Kate and the Lovebirds Team to any bride and groom looking for an event planner to make their day amazing!

Suzanne Spiller

We used Lovebirds Events for our wedding last month and words cannot express how wonderful they were. It was one of the best decisions I made to choose Kate Franzen and her team. I cannot say enough great things about Kate-- she is absolutely amazing! No matter what issue I had or decision I was making, Kate was always there to help when I needed her. She responded to my calls or emails almost immediately, and was always helpful and honest. Every meeting, phone call, or even email with her made me feel so much less stressed and calmer. She took time and effort to understand my vision so I knew that I was able to let go and trust her. She also has impeccable taste and such a great personality. Everyone who worked with her on our wedding was so impressed with her ability to get it all done with a smile. Her communication and organization skills are unparalleled, and she was able to get everyone involved in our wedding, including vendors and family members, on the same page. She ensured that every detail, even those I hadn’t thought of, was planned and perfect. Kate and Emily worked behind the scenes on our wedding day to ensure that every aspect of our wedding was flawless, smooth, and everything we dreamed of. I wholeheartedly recommend Lovebirds Events to anyone planning a wedding.

Alexa Bullock

Kate and her fabulous team are wonderful to work with and made our special day flawless and stress free! I don't think we could of pulled off our wedding without her knowledge and expertise.

Will McPherson

Hiring Glint was one of the first and best decisions that we made. I would recommend them to anyone.

Caitlin Teden

When we first got engaged, I met with 3 different wedding planners. Kate was by far and above my favorite. She was genuine, experienced, and offered a partial planning package that allowed me to handle the details with her there to support and provide unlimited advice along the way. Looking back, I cannot imagine having gotten married without Kate and her team there. You might think you don't need a wedding coordinator, but... you do. The last thing you want to do on your big day is answer questions from vendors and put out fires. Our wedding day was perfect and that was largely thanks to Glint Events. I cannot recommend them more highly!

Dave B

We were initially overwhelmed at the prospect of planning a wedding, but Anna & the team at Glint were so helpful and took so much stress off our plates. Anna was fantastic, helping us to prioritize our to-do list to make sure everything was taken care of in a timely fashion. On the day of the wedding, she juggled the normal rigors of the set-up process with an uncertain weather forecast and handled everything perfectly. The wedding turned out even better than we ever imagined. For anyone in need of a wedding planner, we can’t recommend Glint enough. Thanks, Anna!

Jenna Boyle

The simple truth is...just because you think you can plan your wedding by yourself does not mean you should! And this is why Kate Franzen and her team are the best--Kate takes your style, budget, and all your wedding wishes and plans YOUR perfect day. From vendor recommendations to electronic planning, trouble-shooting, and timelines, Kate and her process is flawless. My best advice is to trust Kate 100% along the way, and watch her do her best work! We did just that, and our wedding day was more beautiful, stress-free, and fun than we could have ever planned! THANK YOU KATE & TEAM!

Sarah Bales

Glint Events made our wedding day/month amazing!!! They truly made it so relaxed and calm because they had everything under control and amazing relationships with our vendors. They are extremely knowledgeable and work very well within budget with recommendations. They are so caring, genuine, and helpful. We couldn't have asked for a better team or a better day! Most important piece of advice for a bride, hire Glint Events as your wedding planner for at least the month of. It makes life a whole lot easier!!

Jeremy Hirsch

My wife and I were so lucky to have the guidance of Glint Events. Emily set everything up that we needed and Lauren helped us execute flawlessly. We were so worried about being stressed during the week of the wedding and Lauren really helped us alleviate any stress. We got to truly enjoy our wedding because she took care of everything. Amazing wedding planners.

Mitch Zavala

Planning a wedding is an incredibly difficult challenge. Just thinking about the amount of moving pieces and all the variables that go into a wedding will make your head spin. These were the thoughts that were going through my head after I proposed to my wife over a year ago. We found out very quickly that finding the location was only about 5% of the overall wedding planning and we were very intimidated by the task we had ahead of us. We are young professionals with limited time to plan a wedding so we definitely needed help! After finding out venue, Dover Hall, we asked them for a list of wedding planners that they recommend. We interviewed one wedding planner after another, but were not impressed, that is until we got to Glint Events and spent an hour talking to Kate. We thought our standards were pretty high, but she raised the bar within the first 5 minutes of our first google hangouts call. She was all about us. She wanted to know everything about us, our vision and what we wanted our wedding to portray. She took notes, as she always does in all of our meetings, asked a lot of questions, and really wanted to get to know us. She then proceeded to tell us all about how she planned to make our vision a reality. She was by far the most professional planner we spoke to, but also the friendliest and the easiest to talk to. By the end of our first meeting we honestly felt like we had just made a new friend. We didn’t even have to think about choosing her over the others. It was the easiest choice and the best choice we could have made. Once we signed the contract, Kate and her team started planning. They were on top of every little detail and were in constant communication with us. Like I said, my wife and I are very busy people, but the Glint Events team made planning our wedding such an easy process that we didn’t feel any pressure or stress throughout the process. Kate and Anna were on top of everything. Whether it was choosing a florist, a DJ, or a photographer; they always considered our vision and gave us options that truly fused with how we wanted our wedding to feel like. Kate planned our wedding at Dover Hall, a very beautiful venue, but honestly the wedding could have been anywhere and I would have had complete faith in the Glint Events team to plan an unforgettable wedding that our families and friends would have remembered forever. Our wedding was an absolute hit with our families, friends, and even with the venue. The Dover Hall staff came up to us the day after our wedding and everyone sincerely thought that our wedding was one of the best weddings they had seen, and it is all 100% thanks to the Glint Events team. They went above and beyond for us. They considered our hobbies and the things we love. For example, my wife and I are absolute nerds…She loves Harry Potter and I am a Marvel and anime junkie. They included fun details and shout outs to the things we love in our wedding. These were details everyone at the wedding got to experience without losing the elegance and prestige that comes with getting married at Dover Hall. One example of this is an engineering project Kate, Anna, and their crew took on to simulate the flying keys in Harry Potter and made it so the wings on the keys were actual seating cards. Our guests had so much fun finding their keys. I could write about Kate, Anna, and Glint Events all day, but I should probably stop soon! Honestly words can’t begin to describe how grateful we are to them. I will end on this: no matter where your wedding is or what the vision for your wedding is, you can absolutely count on Kate and her team to go the extra mile to make your day unforgettable, because they are super passionate about what they do and are professionals when it comes to creating amazing weddings. They are simply the best!!

Mary Evans

We worked with Kate throughout the entire wedding planning process and I can't recommend Kate and her team at Glint Events highly enough! They pulled off the wedding of our dreams! Kate immediatley understood my vision and introduced me to the best vendors to make my wedding dreams a reality. Kate was excellent at managing all of the tiny details from the early planning stages to the day-of coordination. In addition to being a logistics queen, she brought lots of creative ideas to the table to help me take my vision to the next level. We live in London and Kate was a champ at accommodating the different time zone and working with various stakeholders - my mom who is back in the States was highly involved in the planning process with my husband and I, and Kate did a great job of balancing multiple strong opinions. We had the most beautiful wedding of all time and a smooth planning journey thanks to Kate and the Glint team! I so highly recommend working with Glint!

Caitlin Whelton

Glint Events was referred to me by a mutual friend that works in the wedding industry; that has to be the best referral - right? My fiancé and I had been engaged for two years and made zero decisions about our big day, so I was very reluctant to meet with a planner. The only requests we had were that our guests have a great time and that the weekend feel as intimate as possible. Glint Events NAILED IT! I have plenty of friends that planned their wedding, I even helped my mom plan my sister’s, but I knew that to truly enjoy the process stress-free we needed a planner. After seeing so many brides stress over their big day and having a personality that likely would do the same, I knew the best decision I could make was hiring Kate & Emily. My advice to brides in the planning phase would be that just because you can plan a wedding it does not mean you should and the best way to enjoy your big day is to leave it to the professionals. It is worth every penny! (Make room for it in your budget.) Kate & Emily made me feel like an old friend, like we had known each other forever from our first meeting. Ben and I joked that they were like elves sneaking around the day of the wedding. They were practically invisible but handled everything! We had zero stress which was impressive since we had planned for an outdoor wedding during the rainiest month on record. And of course it poured for our ceremony & reception, but they facilitated every detail and transformed our tent into a magical wonderland. I could not have envisioned anything more wonderful! Do yourselves, your vendors and your guests a favor and hire Glint Events!

Marianna Abraham

Glint events was the best choice we could have made! They were organized, timely, and extremely competent. During our months of wedding planning, we worked most closely with Emily. She attended all of our vendor meetings and really helped us find the right balance between Pinterest ideas and the unique vision I had for our wedding. Emily was supportive and patient, especially as our big day drew closer. We wanted to include both Indian and Nigerian cultural elements to our ceremony, which Emily helped us accomplish perfectly. The day of the wedding, the Glint team was all smiles as they pulled off a gorgeous celebration for our family and friends. Their thoughtful style elements and vendor suggestions all came together flawlessly, and we could not be more pleased with the result. Thanks again, Glint Events!

Chandler Queenan

Anna and the Glint Events team were amazing from the very first contact! They answered all of my questions (no matter how big or small) in a timely manner and made wedding planning so easy and comfortable! Anna made sure the timeline was perfect for the day of and made sure every thing was in place and ready to go. They made my dream wedding come to life-it was perfect! The day of ran soooo smoothly and couldnt have done it without the Glint Team & Anna :) they were the best!

Cindy Smith

My daughter and I used Glint Events for her May 2016 wedding and cannot say enough positive things about Kate and her amazing team! After not having a planner for my older daughter's wedding several years ago, I knew that I would not do that again. We used Glint for day-of coordination and everything went smoothly, despite some changes due to rain. Kate coordinated all vendors the week before, which gave us all time to relax and enjoy the pre-wedding festivities. Kate has the perfect personality for this what-must-be-stressful business. She is supportive, helpful, detail-oriented, enthusiastic, and organized, and she remains calm at all times. I highly recommend Glint Events!

Erin McPherson

We are so thrilled to have found Glint Events. Throughout the planning process, Kate and her team made us feel completely at ease -- we feel like she really understood who we are as a couple and what we wanted for our wedding, and the team executed every detail we had envisaged even better than we could have hoped. From directing our rehearsal and coordinating our vendors to setting our tables and ensuring our timeline was met, Glint Events really outperformed our greatest expectations. Our wedding was about 4 weeks ago and we still have family and friends commenting on what a wonderful job Kate did -- and how pleasant she was to work with!

Kate Sweeney

My husband Coleman and I worked with Glint Events for both primary planning and wedding day coordination, and Kate and Emily were beyond wonderful! I interviewed several wedding planners in Richmond but left only the Glint Events interview with a huge smile on my face. As an indecisive bride-to-be, the Primary Planning services were helpful. I needed assistance settling on a theme/color scheme and Kate helped guide me and hone in on my likes/dislikes. Glint Events even had us feeling comfortable with the hand-off between Kate and Emily before Baby Franzen was born. And reassuring an anxious bride-to-be is not an easy task! Our wedding day was beyond our expectations. Everything on the day of the wedding ran so smoothly and with such ease. Emily's level of confidence and expertise was invaluable to us. Emily was like an extra best friend by my side all day and I was so grateful to have her guidance. We were all able to enjoy our celebration knowing that everything was being managed well. I would recommend Kate and her Glint Events team to anyone looking to have a well-organized, thoroughly planned wedding! Thank you Glint Events!

Robin Goodman

Kate and her staff at Lovebirds did an excellent job with my daughter's wedding! We felt comfortable with her from start. We used her services for the "week of the wedding", but she was definitely checking on us through the entire process to make sure we had things on task. The day of the wedding, Kate and her staff took control of everything, so my daughter and I could sit back and enjoy the day and our family. I would definitely recommend Lovebirds Events to give you peace of mind and an elegant, smoothly run event. Thanks Kate!

Rachel Hurley

The Glint Events team are magic makers. Is it possible to give them 10 stars? I always wanted to get married on my family's privately-owned property instead of a working "wedding venue." After Robert and I got engaged, my family and I quickly decided there was no way we could make it all happen without a planner. Kate was the very first planner we met with, and I immediately left asking "where do I sign up?" They were so excited to help us create a one-of-a-kind venue literally from the ground up and make my dream wedding come true. After only a couple meetings with us, they knew our style and taste so well. They appreciated and embraced my desire to have dozens of small details worked into the entire day and evening. Throughout the entire planning process, they were available to talk for any questions or concerns I had and were always swift in their responses. Here comes the fun part - just 5 days prior to our scheduled wedding day, September 15, Hurricane Florence was predicted to head straight toward our general area. With a waterfront wedding in literally a huge, empty field, we had to make the decision to postpone our originally planned ceremony and reception. Luckily, the majority of our vendors were available for a later date and Kate found us replacements for those who weren't. Kate held me as I cried over not having the dream day we had been planning for a year. Then they somehow put together a small, intimate ceremony for us to have with our families, so we could marry each other on the day we planned. It was absolutely stunning and perfect in every way. Six weeks after our marriage, we finally had what we called "Take Two," the day we originally planned. With our great luck, we had 4 inches of rain overnight and both venues were absolutely drenched. With smiles on their faces, they pulled off a dream of a mud-covered black tie affair. It was anything and everything we could have ever imagined. Three weeks later, we still have people writing to us, calling us, and telling us it was the most beautiful, amazing, and fun wedding they have ever attended. It may have started with our ideas, but Glint made them come to life. I wish we could do it a million times over, and we would choose Glint every, single time.

Valerie Bostwick Pewterbaugh

I heard about Kate through a friend who had a wonderful experience with Glint last year. Then I attended the Prep & Plan workshop Glint offered this spring and understood why she came so highly recommended. Kate and the rest of the staff at Glint are so friendly, down to earth, and most importantly--Knowledgeable! They have done this countless times and will give you the answers to questions you haven't even considered (but should have). The Prep & Plan workshop gave me the tools I need to plan my wedding; however due to the type of venue I booked, I have secured Glint events for day of coordination and I could not be happier!

Cassandra Rawles

Kate and Anna are the best in the business. They are fun to be around and ran our wedding day flawlessly. If any issues arose I have absolutely no idea, because they handled it all behind the scenes and made it look easy. I can't imagine having had our amazing (and busy) day without their help! Highly recommend working with them.

Jennifer Judy

As somebody who is rarely at a loss for words, writing a review for Lovebirds Events has been a daunting task because I cannot even find the words to express how wonderful it was working with Kate! She took the vision I had in my head of our wedding day and made it so much BETTER than anything I could have even imagined. We moved out of town a year ago so planning a long distance wedding made me very nervous but Kate was always readily available via email or phone and we were able to accomplish so much without me feeling any stress at all. My family and friends could not stop talking about how wonderful the day was and I know I have Kate to thank for that. Our parents and bridal party had no stress because we knew Kate was completely in control of the entire day and we all just got to soak in every perfect moment. I really hope my sister decides to get married soon just so I have an excuse to work with Kate again because she is so extremely talented! Thank you Kate for making the best day of my life everything I wanted and so much more!

My husband and I can not say enough positive words about Kate and Lovebirds Events. We got married 1.11.14 at the Science Museum here in Richmond. It was a unique venue and we definitely needed help going from the idea in July 2013 to the reality in early 2014 (with challenging work schedules for both of us during the Fall). Kate made it seem so easy to manage and our wedding was more beautiful, fun, and elegant (and much more) than we thought was possible. Other than lots of adjectives to describe how great Kate is, let me give some specifics. 1. I met her on a Sunday afternoon at a wedding expo. She emailed me that night, yes that very night, to follow up. We had a meeting set for that week. She was always responsive to my questions, gave me the most wonderfully detailed to do lists that helped tremendously, and she was just a calming friendly presence from our first meeting to the post wedding check ins. 2. She's incredibly knowledgeable about a range of vendors in the area and was great about providing a few options, details about possible or likely costs, and paid attention to remembering details about me/my husband and our plans. I appreciated her helping me identify different vendors in the area! She worked so well with all of them, which made the week of the wedding so much easier for us. 3. Kate handles bumps in the road with ease. We had a possible problem just days before the wedding. Kate had a back up plan in place within a very short amount of time, was in regular (not annoying) contact with me, and I knew that any problems had solutions before I even knew that there was a problem. She knows what she is doing, what to anticipate as problems, and she knows how to handle it all, while making you feel calm (or that was my experience). I felt that Kate 200% cared about what we wanted, wanted us to have the best time at our wedding, and was 200% present and focused on making our plans happen. 4. Kate even handled some vendor follow up while we were on our honeymoon. She was so helpful that way too, she didn't forget about us once the event was over. Overall, Kate is more than worth the price, tremendously helpful and organized; her assistant Emily was also a wonderful asset at our wedding. I so appreciated the time Kate gave us during the planning and her calm, focused demeanor. I had no idea our wedding would be so beautiful or fun, the evening surpassed our vision. Thanks Lovebirds for the wonderful start to our marriage!

I’ll admit I was a little nervous when after meeting with Kate she let us know that she would not be able to coordinate our wedding due to the birth of her sweet baby girl but would instead set us up with Emily. But we had absolutely no reason to worry! Emily was amazing! We hired Lovebirds for Day Of Coordination. We pretty much already had everything in place when we met with them the first time so we felt we could handle it all but didn't want to have to run around worrying about everything on the big day. Emily and Kate kept tabs on everything through the whole process though and through very thorough planning documents and pre-meetings Emily was intimately familiar with the plan my husband and I had envisioned. Even when our officiant didn’t show up she handled it beautifully. She was able to wrangle up our large wedding party (which I’m sure was much like herding cats at some points) and gracefully handled all of the behind the scenes efforts at our pretty large wedding. She strapped on her super cute rain boots and set everything up during what seemed like the longest week of rain ever. Hiring Lovebirds was by far one of the best decisions we made! Thank you ladies! You're awesome!

Every bride deserves a magical, seamless wedding planning experience. Kate, Emily, Devin and the team made sure that mine was amazing in every way, from timely follow up, detailed timelines, wonderful people skills, keen insight, great suggestions and expert management to their hands-on trouble shooting, maintaining terrific repoire with the venues, and dashing back to the church to retrieve my bride's bag I had unknowingly left behind. Living in Nashville, TN made me a little nervous about planning a destination wedding. Glint Events made it seamless. I can't thank them enough for helping to create an unforgettable wedding weekend for myself, my husband and all of our guests.
