Hi, lovebirds. I’m Cassidy, a big-hearted type A and perpetual wanderluster. I’m here to take the stress off your shoulders and your timeline off your plate. So you can savor the champagne, the getting-ready playlist, the dinner-then-dancing flow of it all. With a background in ballet and a decade of experience choreographing everything from stage productions to global conferences, I know how to keep things moving beautifully. Planning a wedding isn’t just about wielding clipboards. It’s about intentionally making space for joy- your joy.

We could not have been more fortunate to work with Cassidy for our October wedding. Cassidy and whole the EL team were absolutely amazing from start to finish. We knew planning our wedding from abroad would be a challenge to coordinate, but Cassidy made the entire process feel truly effortless. Cassidy is so organized, kind, and supportive. She made it easy to make decisions and was a fantastic sounding board - she always said yes to our ideas (cutting 5 cakes!!) and found ways to make everything come to life beautifully. Our wedding day was seamless. Our guests kept commenting on the attention to detail and how smooth everything felt. The whole weekend was flawless, and it really stood out when our other vendors went out of their way to let us know how fantastic Cassidy was and to compliment her for being so great to work with. She went above and beyond in so many thoughtful ways and made us feel so cared for every step of the way. We’re endlessly grateful for Cassidy and the EL team. Our wedding was perfect, and we owe so much of our experience to Cassidy. Thank you!!!

Carice Coleman of Pinnacle Affairs was a true joy to work with. From planning my surprise engagement to our wedding Carice provided smooth communication, was very responsive and handled any issue that came up with any vendors. She was very flexible and thorough throughout the entire process. She had great vendor recommendations and an awesome checklist that made our wedding day as smooth as possible from photographer, florist, dj, etc. As the day of coordinator, Carice did not stop moving to ensure our day went as we wished, even when things occurred she handled them with grace.

They demonstrated their reliability by expertly coordinating and managing all of the other vendors, getting to know them on a personal level. The quality of their work was truly top-notch - their trend-setting ideas and affordable, gorgeous designs exceeded our expectations.

From countless Zoom calls to meeting up in person to select flowers, it was more than we could have asked for and were expecting. Her professionalism and creativity showed through when we had to improvise our outdoor ceremony to an indoor one thanks to a horrific tropical storm.

She went above and beyond, offering to bring additional decorations and even showing up the day before to assist with our traditional Vietnamese Tea Ceremony, which was not even on the same day as our official wedding.

Little Acorn Events Co is a full service wedding planning, design, & production company based in Charlottesville, Virginia. We specialize in curating meaningful celebrations & distinctive guest experiences, steeped in beautiful design. Your engagement is a special and finite experience, culminating in a celebration with those you love. It is our true privilege to plan & produce luxurious wedding designs abundant with intentional touches & thoughtful details for a distinctive guest experience. Telling your love story through creative design begins with mindful relationships with our couples & a dedication to your wedding like no other.

Working with Mia and Little Acorn Events was the best decision we made during our planning process, hands down. After a very rocky start to our planning process with another wedding planner, we were extremely skittish to hire another planner, but after our first call with Mia, her genuine care for her couples and belief that everyone deserves a joyful and low-stress engagement came through so clearly. Mia has the lovely combination of being immensely capable and a delight to spend time with, which is important when you are deciding someone you will spend so much time working with and who will be by your side on your wedding day. We sincerely looked forward to our calls and meetings with Mia, and having her calm and joyful presence by our side on our day was a gift. Mia's hard work and kind personality mean that she has an amazing reputation with local vendors. Having that history of trust and good will as the basis for our relationship with the vendors meant we got to work with the very best local vendors who were excited to be a part of the team. We had some big life changes happen during our wedding planning season and Mia was understanding, flexible, and allowed us to focus on the fun parts of planning while taking the most stressful parts off of our plate. She took our day seriously and treated it with the utmost care, while seeing the big picture of life and not feeding into the wedding industrial complex :) One of the best parts of working with Mia is her intentionality in creating moments throughout the day where you and your partner get to soak in the moment and be present. We had seen her calm confidence and skill throughout the planning process, and so had the trust established to simply be able to relax, enjoy the moment, and take it all in when the day came. And isn't that what it's all about?

At Avenue Design Studio, we began as a floral business, but quickly realized we could offer so much more to our clients. Over our 10+ years of working with couples on those special lifetime moments, we found ourselves stepping in to assist our brides and event clients with planning, vendor coordination, and overall event management. This inspired us to shift our focus and create Avenue Design Studio, a full-service event planning and design company. Whether you’re looking for full-service planning or just need assistance with specific aspects, we provide multiple packages and a la carte options to fit your needs. You dream it, we create it.

From start to finish working with Avenue Design Studio was a fantastic experience! I had an initial call with Chad and based on that I knew they were professionals who could bring my vision to life through floral design and day of coordination. Then they continued to provide clear and open communication throughout the planning process and were able to make suggestions as needed to advance my vision. The week of the wedding I was in contact with Morgan who would be our official day of coordinator. Morgan ended up saving the day when our bartender cancelled on us last minute; she stepped in and bartended on top of coordinating. Then she was able to work with me to donate our flowers to a women’s shelter; a cause that hits close to home for me. I cannot recommend Avenue Design Studio enough!!

TLDR: Easy communication, handles everything, calming, amazing experience. Madi helped us plan and coordinated our wedding in June at the Eaton DC. We cannot recommend her enough!! During the planning process, she was the perfect balance of being the cheerleader for our ideas, and weighing in with her own when we needed another perspective. We felt pretty unprepared and clueless about planning a wedding, and Madi was so accepting of that and really validated us along the way. She handed all of the communication and emails, which was a huge task and a relief to hand off. On the actual wedding day, Madi and her team made everything feel comfortable and easy. Madi has such a calm demeanor that we completely trusted that no matter what happened, she was going to take care of it and it wouldn’t impact us. And it didn’t! We weren’t aware of any logistics going on around us, and Madi and her team made sure it was the most special for us. Our friends and family commented throughout the night and afterwards on how great Madi and her team were. I am SO glad and grateful we had Madi for our wedding, and I wholeheartedly encourage anyone looking for planning or coordination to go with Tate Co.

I honestly don’t even know where to begin! After being scammed by another planner, I was desperate to find someone trustworthy, reliable, and truly passionate about making my wedding special. And then I found Lauren. From the moment we started working together, she went above and beyond in ways I never imagined. Not only did she handle every detail with such professionalism and care, but she also took on so much more than I ever asked of her. As a DIY bride, I was feeling overwhelmed, but Lauren stepped in and completely transformed the space with her incredible decorating skills. She turned my vision into reality, and it was absolutely stunning. Every little detail was handled seamlessly, and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Her attention to detail, organization, and creativity truly exceeded my expectations, and I am so grateful for everything she did to make my day perfect.

We were planning from the west coast for our Virginia wedding, and Jill was truly a lifesaver. From day one, she was incredibly communicative and kept us on track every step of the way, which gave us such peace of mind. Jill went above and beyond when it came to our décor. Not only did she help us design stunning tablescapes, but she also provided the perfect finishing touches—everything from table numbers to candle holders, welcome table, seating chart and individual name card tents to make our vision come to life! On the day of the wedding, Jill handled any issues before we even knew they existed! Her professionalism and calm demeanor were unmatched, and she always seemed to know exactly what I needed before I could even think to ask. If you’re getting married in the Leesburg/Purcellville area, you absolutely need Jill as your coordinator. She is amazing at what she does, and we couldn’t have imagined our wedding day without her!

We LOVED working with Brittany. We had monthly meetings with her for over a year, from the venue search phase to the handoff to our month-of coordinator, and she was so helpful. She helped us with the searches for everything—venue, DJ, photography, day-of coordination, flowers, catering—and provided us timelines and organization tools that were genuinely invaluable. We had very little idea going in exactly what was needed to plan a wedding, but Brittany’s collaboration made us feel very on top of things. She also worked with us to troubleshoot things when issues arose (like our flower provider not following some of our communication requests). And an added bonus is that she’s fun to hang out with lol—we really enjoyed our monthly meetings!! Would absolutely recommend the Venlist (and Brittany specifically)!
