Desiree and the team at Something Blue Planning Coordinating were an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. I am an event planner and very organized by nature, and I realized, just a couple of weeks into planning the wedding, that I needed someone else to be in charge of the day, or I would not enjoy my wedding if I had to be in charge of it. Our reception location and church had day of coordinators on hand to help but not someone to keep things moving, help create the schedule, deal with ALL the communication that goes on between vendors and all the little details you don't think about. Enter Desiree! Desiree was excellent from our first meeting a year out through follow-up a couple of days after the wedding. My husband, who had been along the line that "we could do it ourselves", walked away from our first meeting, saying he was so grateful to have Desiree and didn't realize everything that went into a wedding. Desiree’s communication was quick, easy, supportive, and to the point. The quality of her work and the value she provided was truly top-notch - professional, creative, helpful, patient, and loving. She took the stress off the day and made it possible for me to enjoy the wedding with my husband, TRULY. She was the point of communication for everything that day and she helped me think through all the different processes and how to do things, was incredibly patient and supportive, and was there for us night and day. She ensured we all were doing well throughout the day and kept everyone aware of where they needed to be. I am so glad we hired them and would absolutely suggest you do the same!

I worked with Brittany from The Venlist on a series of styled shoots in Washington, DC. I can't say enough good things about this virtual wedding planning business. Brittany was organized, thoughtful, timely in communication, professional, and extremely calm under pressure. As a wedding photographer, I've worked with many wedding vendors and can recognize when an event is set up for success. Successful wedding planners need skills in time management, communication, and attention to detail. With The Venlist, all of these areas exceeded my expectations. I'd be happy to work with this business again, and I will be recommending them to my friends/clients in the DMV area. Do yourself a favor and reach out to Brittany with your business inquiry!

We hired Rachel as our Day of Coordinator for our September 2024 wedding and it was the best decision we made. Our wedding simply would not have been the same without her. One of the first recommendations I make to someone getting married is to hire a coordinator for their wedding - and this is entirely because of our experience with Rachel. She prompted us on the right questions for things we never would have considered, and was a huge help in guiding us on the timeline of events. She executed everything with a cool confidence, and we received so many compliments on how fun the wedding was and how smooth the event went. Rachel made herself reachable to our close friends and family, and made sure that we got to enjoy our day and not be tied up in all the logistics. She was flexible, prompt, and wasn’t afraid to take charge of the situation. Highly recommend for your needs - big or small!

When I'm not at a wedding, you can usually find me in a local thrift store with a fun fruity drink. I recently graduated from KSU with a B.S. in Hospitality & Event Management.

I even spent time in FL working closely with one of the world's leading entertainment companies bringing hundreds of fairytale weddings & events to life. Now, I'm making magic of my own!

Brooklyn truly made our wedding what it was — we could not have done any of it without her! From the very beginning, she was so easy to communicate with: down-to-earth, organized, and always one step ahead. She even helped connect us with other vendors during the planning process, which was such a huge help. But the real magic happened on the day of the wedding. Brooklyn was everywhere — handling the flowers, the centerpieces, setting up every little detail, and making sure everything ran smoothly. I genuinely don’t know how she did it all while still managing to keep drinks and food in our hands the entire night! She even helped bustle my very complicated wedding dress (I have picture proof!) — somehow figuring it out with total ease when everyone else was stumped. She was so intuitive, always knowing exactly what needed to happen next before we even realized it. Beyond just being amazing at her job, Brooklyn is also incredibly fun and easy to talk to. She brought such a calm, grounded energy to what could have been a hectic and overwhelming day. Because of her, I actually got to enjoy my wedding. That’s a gift I’ll never forget. Brooklyn — thank you for everything. You were truly incredible, and we are so, so grateful. If you’re considering hiring her — do it. She’s everything you want in a wedding coordinator and more.

The balloon arch photo booth was a huge hit with our guests! We loved when the little ones played with giant balloons on the dancefloor all night, what great videos we have! Every detail was handled with care and creativity, and we were able to relax and truly enjoy every moment. It was magical. Thank you for making our 60-guest celebration feel so full of heart and beauty!

I am struggling to find the words to describe how wonderful Brianna and Karin were for our wedding. They literally did it all. From our bouquets(!!!), to decorating, to handling logistics and making sure everything ran smoothly, they were above and beyond my expectations. I can 100% say our wedding day wouldn't have been what it was without them. HIGHLY recommend Enchanted Weddings!!

Good service is typically made up of clear and professional communication, timeliness, organization, foresight, and quality. On all counts, Wei Yuh provided *excellent* service. Technical Review: Her correspondence was always prompt and thorough, hitting every point and flagging items we would not have even thought of. She was also extremely flexible when it came to virtual meetings, accommodating for both of our busy schedule. On many occasions, we met outside of business hours solely out of convenience to *us* as the clients. At no point would we have expected this level of flexibility, but Wei Yuh was consistently there for us--even for ad hoc questions and concerns. Wei Yuh's organization was also exceptional. Every spreadsheet and document was well-sorted and easy to comprehend. She always took the time to walk us through items and reassure us about any concerns. In many instances, Wei Yuh anticipated issues that we would not have ever considered, saving us both trouble and money. In fact, Wei Yuh was always very sensitive to our budget and financial constraints, looking for creative ways to spare our wallet! This is yet another dimension in which her services went above and beyond. For nearly every major component of the planning process, Wei Yuh handled or guided liaising with other vendors. The result felt as if we truly had our "hands off the wheel" while still being fully aware of where the plans were headed. Overall Thoughts: We chose Wei Yuh because she immediately believed in our vision for the wedding. We had some very unorthodox ideas and were completely unsure our day would come together exactly as we wanted it. Writing this a few days after the wedding, we can say with complete confidence that Wei Yuh brought our hopes to life and executed them with precision, professionalism, and care. Throughout the process, including on the day itself, Wei Yuh maintained an energizing presence and clearly put everything she had into the project. We are certain that we could not have achieved our vision without a planner (despite stubbornly believing so in the very beginning!), but more than that, we don't think it would have happened without Wei Yuh specifically.
