Reviews of Event Planning DC (Event Planner)

Jill Nguyen

I found Event Planning DC via thumbtack and decided to work with them after just a phone call with Michele. We got married at the court house the year earlier, so when it came to plan to wedding, I was definitely procrastinating and laid back, even at 1 month prior to the wedding. Michele was flexible, kind, warm, and was there to put the finishing touch for everything together. She coordinated everything, even made some other vendors more responsive, and took care of everything on the wedding day including a last minute alcohol run for brandy. We would work with Michele and Event Planning DC all over again!

Michele and her team are awesome. They make sure that your dream, no matter what it is, comes true. I hired Michele to help with month-of wedding coordination, and she went above and beyond to make sure that as I prepared for the big day, I wouldn't have to worry about anything - she refined every detail and checked every box to make sure the day went smoothly! You will not regret hiring Michele and Event Planning DC!!!

Bring Rehoboth Beach to a hotel conference room in Tyson's Corner? Not a problem! Michele and her team took our vision and really made it come to life for our son's Bar Mitzvah - boardwalk arcade games, custom signs that felt like the real thing, lifeguard chairs, sand dunes, you name it, it was there. And it was amazing. We can't recommend Event Planning DC highly enough! Thank you Michele!

I hired Event Planning DC after realizing that even though I was having a micro wedding I could not handle all the details myself. I am the type of person who prefers to do everything myself to make sure it is done correctly. It is a struggle to pass the baton to anyone else lol. That being said, I reached out to several planners and Michelle was the only one who I felt understood and respected what I wanted my day to look like and the vibe that I was hoping for. We met several times prior to the wedding and were in constant communication. She and her assistant Caryle were amazing to work with, always responsive, and professional. I am sometimes sad that I am not planning another event with them. Hire them Event Planning DC you will not regret it!

Michele and her team did a phenomenal job working with us! We had an intimate ceremony at the Salamander Resort in Middleburg, VA that looked luminous, opulent, and stunning thanks to Event Planning DC! It was a small gathering, but we wanted it to feel grand, and you can only do that when you work with professionals. As a bride, my sister wanted everything to be just right, and Michele not only worked with us, but saw our vision and went above and beyond to make it just what she was hoping. We truly could not have done this without her! You should hire her even if you are doing something small and intimate because she ensures everything goes smooth and the event is just what you envision. Worth it!!

Michele and Kristina were more than we could've asked for. They helped plan, coordinate, and deliver beyond our expectations. My stress levels were very low as they were always responsive before the wedding day and they were on top of every minute the day of. Michele guided our wedding party and vendors with ease and worked hard, yet effortlessly allowing me to feel at ease. Kristina was also on top of every moment and went as far as bustling my dress and helping me specifically with things I, myself , wasn't even prepared for. I know they handled much more behind the scenes. I'm thankful for their passion to help and their organized fashion of doing so. Anyone who needs a coordinator in the D.C. Area, I highly recommend Event Planning DC.

We feel very lucky that we were referred to Event Planning DC by our florist! From the very beginning, Event Planning DC was responsive and SO easy to work with. We used the month-of coordination, which really was a life saver when it came to actually enjoying our wedding day/evening. Really, it was more than "month of," because Michele caught a potential issue even before the one month countdown, which we wouldn't have even been aware of! Michele and Debby met us at the walk-through at our wedding venue with our caterer about 2 weeks before the wedding and when we left we knew that all our small details and wishes would be taken care of perfectly. Michele and Debby coordinated with all of our vendors, sent helpful reminders re: final payment due dates, and helped us to feel like many loose ends were tied up by the time wedding weekend rolled around. We hadn't quite planned for a very RAINY wedding weekend -- but that is what we got! Debby coordinated our rehearsal and was very understanding of our wishes to hold out as long as possible before heading to our plan B. We did end up needing to use it, but it was pulled off so seamlessly -- I (the bride) had virtually nothing to do with notifying anyone of the change in plans. Debby (and Kristina) assisted to coordinate our wedding day and worked LONG hours to ensure that each detail was carried out exactly as it looked in our heads. AND Debby magically had EMERGENCY DEODORANT! Which was huge! We are so grateful for Event Planning DC and could not recommend them more highly for any wedding (or event, for that matter!)!

Event Planning DC totally helped me create my dream wedding! These ladies are organized, knowledgeable, creative, and SO friendly! It was so easy to work with Michele throughout the whole process and she truly understood my wedding vision. Once the day of my wedding arrived I didn't have anything to worry about! The team completely took charge which allowed me to have the time of my life. I would highly recommend Event Planning DC to anyone with an upcoming event or wedding who is looking to create a beautiful, fun atmosphere in the most stress-free way possible!

We had a wonderful experience working with Event Planning DC for our wedding. Our special day could not have gone better (really!) and Michele and her team played a huge role in making it a success. We loved how throughout the process, Michele listened to what we wanted and did everything she could to make sure our wedding was true to us, while providing really helpful insights and guidance. Michele served as our month-of coordinator, and we are SO glad that we had her leading up to the wedding. From a logistical standpoint, Michele provided incredibly helpful guidance a number of decisions (from day-of timeline and vendor drop-offs to escort cards and the final food counts, and more), and took the lead on coordinating with each of our vendors to ensure all went smoothly day-of. Knowing we could depend on Michele and Carly for all these details provided such peace of mind. Beyond that, Michele helped us to create a vision for our wedding that was beautiful and true to what we wanted – romantic, warm and elegant - tying together linens, flowers and lighting details to create a breathtaking space. She brought us ideas for décor that complimented our flowers while staying in budget. When we walked in the room on the day of our wedding, we were so delighted to see it all come together, from what we had planned together to Michele’s gorgeous touches! Just WOW! Thank you, Michele, Carly and team!
