She gives you options about her level of involvement and is very clear about terms, costs, etc. of her services, always checking in before doing something if it's going to cost more. She was amazingly pro-active and thought of things I never would have (and didn't care to) in terms of details and liaising with our hotel, caterers, etc. It took about a week of working with her before I realized I genuinely didn't have to worry about much as I knew that if I didn't think of something, she would, an in time to take care of it. She also went above and beyond in terms of prepping things like creative menus, cute ways to display seating charts, etc. She's also personal and supportive and lends an air of "this is under control" to the planning and event.

We hired Tara as our day-of wedding coordinator and she was fantastic. She also helped us with…read morechecklists and advice prior to our wedding day...a great resource! Tara was a great go-between for us and the staff at our venue, who were not always on the same page as my husband and I. She stood up for what we wanted and made great decisions. A traffic accident caused long delays on the route to our venue and Tara called all of our venues to notify them of the accident and suggest they leave extra time to arrive. We ended up only delaying the ceremony by 10 or 15 minutes. I definitely recommend Tara and Emerald Engagements!

Save yourself a lot of time and search no further. Vanna was perfect as our wedding planner. Each…read morestep along the way, she listened to our vision and put things together the way we hoped. Throughout, she was all business. She was dependably responsive when we had a question or concern. She systemically got things done on time. She communicated well with the other vendors involved. On the wedding day itself, she did a wonderful job to seamlessly make sure a tight schedule stayed on time. She interfaced with the caterer, handled audio/visual for our reception program, and the whole time made sure we and our guests enjoyed ourselves. Beforehand, she did a beautiful job of creating floral arrangements and decorating our ceremony and reception venues. And she moved around her schedule to meet us before our rehearsal so that we could do a run-through at the reception venue too. We could go on and on. In short, Vanna is all you need--and you won't be disappointed!

It was so easy and stressful working with them. I am known to be very indecisive, however working with them made it so easy and clear to pitch what I wanted. I didn't have any doubts in my mind. 10/10 for me. I love them so much, my fiancé and I are hiring them again for our wedding.

Had the most fabulous experience with Bernise! would recommend her and her skills to everyone!!read more

SO happy we had Joanne, Elizabeth, and Margaret the day of my best friends wedding as her day of…read morecoordinator. Joanne has been present, responsive, and was always ready to answer our questions. We had a rehearsal the day before, she had so many great tips on how to walk, positioning that it made the day of so easy. So glad she made us walk through or we would have been lost! She made an amazing timeline and kept us to it so well! We even had last minute changes, which she was very flexible and helped us make it work (we had the time surprisingly!). We then had Liz and Margaret at the reception (at a different location) to help. They were TERRIFIC. They helped take the décor from the ceremony and placed it throughout the reception. They made sure everything was used and kept us organized! They stay a little bit passed the end to help us clean and collect the decor and even packed up the car for us! Both were super helpful and just a delight to have with us on the day (I just LOVE their energy, when I was fading towards the end of the night, I saw their joy and it just boosted my energy to make it til the end!)! There was some confusion with the decor, but once we explained, they were like OK ON IT. We lost the bride and groom for a little bit throughout the night, but they kept their cool, and made sure we got right back on track to stay on our timeline. Both of them were also super flexible and helpful, always checked up on the bridal party and the stars of the night. I really appreciated both of their help. In my eyes, they really helped keep the night going smoothly! Rockstars!!!

We could not have asked for a better "day of coordinator". From the moment we booked with Joanne,…read moreeven with just "day of" she was present, flexible, responsive, and was always ready with answers to our questions or helpful suggestions. The morning of our wedding, my now husband, forgot to pick up part of our order from a vendor and Joanne noticed the mishap, and ran out herself to pickup the left behind item. Joanne absolutely goes above and beyond, which was noticed by all of our guests, as they're still sending messages of how on it she was, how hard she was working, and how she kept to the timeline but was flexible when needed. We would choose to work with Joanne over and over again!

Before the wedding, Amaia worked with us and our vendors to put together a master plan and itinerary that proved instrumental the day of. She also worked with the hotel to flesh out and finalize the BEO and served as our advocate throughout the experience. Having someone who can "talk shop" with the hotel coordinator was really valuable to us. From set up to tear down, Amaia worked with our vendors and the hotel to make sure every detail was executed perfectly. She regularly checked in with us to make sure our needs were met and even checked in on our families! Everyone commented how put together and professional she was! We never had to worry about anything - exactly what you want from a planner. We'd love to work with her again!

I needed to get some helium balloons inflated and delivered within a few days for one of my girlfriend's wedding reception celebration. I used yelp's recommendations to narrow down a search, and I went with BalOonies. So glad that I did because delivery was a success and very seamless. I'm glad I found her because I'll be sure to recommend her and use her for any other balloon services that I need.

All I can say is that my wedding would not have happened without Kathryne. I can't say enough…read morewonderful things about working with her. She is organized, professional and knew all the right questions to ask when we were planning our wedding. Whenever I had a question I went to Kathryne and she responded immediately with sage advice and good guidance. She helped me find my flower and make up vendors when the original companies backed out when we had to reschedule the wedding. If you are looking for a wedding planning extraordinaire you can't do better than to work with Kathryne and her team. Hoping I won't be getting married again (ha!) but will definitely keep her in my contact list for any future parties I want to organize (maybe an anniversary party ;-) -Chris

I would recommend her to anyone in the DC area looking for a solid planner.
