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!

Amaia worked with my husband and I to finalize plans for our wedding and reception hosted at the…read moreSt. Regis. Her no-nonsense approach and clear communication style resonated with us -- and she kept us focused on the task at hand AND kept our type a personalities in check throughout our big day. 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!

She is always willing to listen to any issues I'm facing and comes up with a good solution. She's up to date on current trends and modern wedding etiquette. Would definitely recommend Amaia if you are looking for an wedding or event planner!

LIG Events provided us with outstanding wedding planning services for our recent wedding. While we…read morewere initially skeptical of hiring a wedding coordinator, this ended up being FAR AND AWAY the best money that we spent. Laura is a true professional who went above and beyond at every opportunity to help us think through our vision, provide us with resources and options, and problem solve. She was able to adeptly think through creative solutions, anticipate potential risks and challenges, and was extremely attentive and responsive to every question and detail. She was also a strong communicator who was transparent with us about risks, costs, and opportunities, who was able to communicate and build relationships with a number of vendors, and who was able to work through any differences of opinion. Laura literally saved us THOUSANDS of dollars by identifying alternatives, coming up with creative solutions, and negotiating on our behalf. Our wedding would not have been possible without her and we are truly in her debt. Each of our guests attested that this was the best wedding that they have attended and Laura deserves a great deal of the credit for helping us identify and coordinate with vendors, build our vision, and execute. If you need a wedding or event planner, LIG Events proved that they are able to adapt to your vision, style, and budget and they will go above and beyond to make sure that your event is a success!

I don't consider myself a bridezilla, so I say this with the utmost rationality that I can:…read more This company was supposed to provide all services in 1 company. She bad-mouthed the previous owner, which was extremely unprofessional. I never received floral samples or ideas from her about how she was going to do the flowers; she mostly told me what she wanted to do. I had to keep calling her. The photographer was nice but did not take the type of photos I wanted (candid and close up), rather most were all posing photos & I had also told her what I liked and didn't like (she just said nicely said ok to everything). The owner wrapped her costs into everything else, like trying to charge me $350 for make-up alone. She also made herself "very unavailable" after she received all of my money just 1 month into the wedding planning. The worst parts were that the owner was not present the day of the wedding. They also promised my wedding albums would be done in 8 weeks, but it actually took another month longer. The albums came out horribly, with repeat pictures; they would not let me choose which pictures went into the album. My thank you cards that were printed had the names spelled wrong. I would not recommend to anyone...its neither cheap nor quality. I could've done a better job with everything myself.

I looked for everywhere to find the place for the wedding but I couldn't. So I decided to get the…read morewedding dress and album first and found Hera Total Wedding. The good thing was that Hera Total Wedding found me a good place for the wedding and good price even though I only had 80 guests. Then they always look out for me and provided help when I was having struggles with wedding; I called Hera Total Wedding many times and they were always available and they worked so hard to make the wedding I wanted. For the rehearsal, they came and walked through me so I did not even need a wedding planner. On the wedding day, there were no mistakes at all, it was perfect. Also, the make-up artist followed me everywhere (from the beginning to the end) so I was very relieved.

Most girls spend their whole life planning their wedding, myself included. That being said, when…read morethe time actually came for me to plan my own wedding, shit got real. I was so overwhelmed with the entire process that I actually did not say a word during our first initial phone call because there were so many tears rolling down my cheeks. Luckily my husband was able to fill Jayselle in to our situation, which was that we had planned the bulk of the wedding already but we needed someone to step in and coordinate all of the details. And coordinate she DID! From finding childcare for our kid's room to finding the best possible rate for a DC Pedicab send off, she took everything that I found overwhelming off my plate. I would simply meet with her, tell her what I want, my budget and she made it happen. She is a true fairy godmother. The day of the wedding went off without a hitch! Her team was complete professionals with ear pieces and all. I knew I was in good hands and from the moment she came into my life, there were no more tears shed. She is extremely thoughtful, creative, funny and relateable and after the wedding I felt like I had gained a new friend. Compared to other wedding planners in the area I have found her pricing to be very competitive and even more so she's not stingy with her time! I hired her just for day-f coordination but she went above and beyond her duties which was extremely appreciated. If you are on the fence on hiring a wedding planner, I highly recommend it and I recommend hiring Jayselle from Good Events DC.

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

Fey and her team made everything easy for us. They helped us find a venue, select decor, and find very high-quality vendors (caterer, videographer, photographer, and DJ) at reasonable prices.

During our awesome day, my wife and I only had to focus on ourselves and our guests. We had an AMAZING time and I'd highly recommend Statuesque Events to anyone.
