Lotus Productions is an excellent vendor to use for your wedding day. We used them for…read morephotography, flowers, and décor but the company went far and above what we signed them up for. First off, Shawn and his team are very responsive and highly professional. When you are going to spend this much money on your special day, you have to make sure your vendors are going to come through and you can't be worrying about their responsibilities. With Lotus Productions, you get that and more. It started with our engagement photos. We met Shawn and Jinna in Old Town Alexandria and we felt like celebrities. They were very easy-going but very professional and detail-oriented at the same time. You wouldn't move on to the next pose or location until they were happy they got the perfect shots. You never felt like you were on a timetable, it was basically, we don't stop until we get the right shots. On the wedding day, Lotus was on point in getting everything set up and their staff were prompt, courteous, highly professional, and they kept things moving along...which was not supposed to be part of their responsibility. The flowers and centerpieces were absolutely beautiful, the lighting was perfect, and most important of all, the photos were stunning. With Lotus Productions, you are getting really high quality at such a reasonable price, something very hard to find with today's wedding costs. We would not hesitate to recommend Lotus Productions. -Rachel & Jon

Shawn not only helped us with the planning and decor, but also the uplighting, sparklers, photography and videography. Shawn and his team were phenomenal, making sure everything was to our liking.

I highly recommend this company.

Jackie is one of the most responsible and reliable people I've ever worked with. I truly don't know…read morehow anyone plans a wedding without someone like her. I'm forever grateful for her help and unwavering support throughout the entire planning process. She was always quick to respond and went above and beyond to bring my vision to life. What sets Jackie apart is how genuinely she cares. She doesn't treat you like just another client--she sincerely invests in you and your wedding journey. As a bilingual planner, she was also able to communicate seamlessly with my Korean parents, who absolutely adored her for her grace, professionalism, and thoughtful mannerisms. I also rented my dress and arranged my flowers through Wedding Story, and everything exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Jackie, and the entire Wedding Story team, for making my wedding experience so smooth and special!

When we asked her to get something she had it done within days. I felt so confident and was less nervous about wedding planning with her. I truly had the most perfect day because of her and her staff. They are professional and straightforward. Trust her in the process. She doesn't sugar coat to please, she gives her honest advice using her expertise and experience as a wedding planner. When I wanted to do something or wanted something for the wedding, she made sure she gave her two cents so that I could make a better decision for the wedding and it turned out to be flawless. I couldn't recommend her services more to someone looking for a planner. Truly went above and beyond. 100/10!

Vicky was my wedding planner, and I really can't say enough about her. Let's just start from the…read morebeginning... I interviewed two planners, and I knew I wanted Vicky right away because I was confident that she could get the job done. She didn't want to be my best friend--she wanted to help us achieve the wedding of our dreams while staying under budget. When we were deciding on what services we wanted her to take care of, she showed us this very detailed list of services, kind of like an a la carte menu. We wanted to keep our wedding planner services at $3000 I think, and so we basically picked and chose which things we wanted her to do. SO SIMPLE. No negotiating necessary. After that, she made it feel like our wedding was the only wedding she was working on. Such attention to detail, with a balance of her suggestions and getting our input so that it would still be our wedding. She was honest and straightforward about what she thought were bad ideas, which made us trust in the things that she was excited about and thought were great ideas. Vicky just has so much experience that--really--every little tiny detail was taken care of, so that on the day of our wedding, all we had to do was get our hair and makeup done and show up at the wedding. (My husband and the groomsmen were actually bored the day of our wedding!) The weeks before the wedding, my friends--who know that I get stressed out managing dinner reservations--were amazed to see me so stress-free! Lastly, and maybe I should've opened with this, as soon as we booked all of our vendors, I knew that the cost of having Vicky as our wedding planner paid for itself. The money and time we saved using Vicky's contacts (especially DJ, caterer and florist) was significant. SIGNIFICANT. Please consider Vicky for your event planning services! She is amazing!

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!
