Our accommodations as guests attending the wedding for the weekend were in the "Tudor" room. The four poster bed was extremely comfortable with plenty of pillows. HVAC didn't appear to be adjustable but was quite comfortable nonetheless. Bathroom had a very large Jacuzzi as well as sink and walk in shower. Plenty of hot water, strong pressure, very refreshing. The grounds are absolutely amazing and neatly landscaped. The food for the event, including dinner and breakfast were spot on! All-in-all, simply charming.

The building is in the Tudor style but has lots of medieval accents, which I found to be interesting. There are several vintage pieces and artwork for sale at affordable prices on display throughout the building. I was super excited about that and purchased a couple of pieces to take home with me. The rooms are very cozy and the mattress/pillows/towels are such good quality. And to top it off, breakfast is solid and hearty. They also know how to host an event. Decor and the setting in the garden was lovely. Already plotting my next visit here.

I went with their Couture Wedding plan and worked with Pam. I couldn't have been more pleased with their services across the board. They work very well with vendors and go above and beyond for their brides. Unfortunately, on the flip side, my wedding didn't happen. They took care of everything when my fiancé left me just a few months before our wedding day. Regardless, I was pleased with their quality of work both in planning and canceling my wedding. While my special day was a no go I'd definitely recommend their services to anyone looking for a wedding planner in MD or DC. They were open to venues everywhere be it Baltimore, Annapolis or DC. Much love to these ladies! Check them out!

My Husband and I worked with Ace of Events for our April 2016 wedding. From the moment we sat down…read morewith Ani & Anjali, we knew that we had found "our" Event Planners to help make sure our wedding weekend was nothing but perfect. Not only was it immediately clear that they possessed the hard skills & work ethics we were looking for in a planner (they are organized, communicative, and knowledgeable about south Asian vendors), but they also made it their first priority to truly understand who we were as individuals, as a couple, and what we were looking for in order for our event to be perfect in our eyes. Ani worked closely with Husband and I to make sure everything was set in place for our wedding weekend. Because of his dedication to us our wedding really reflected our personalities - it ended up being exactly what my husband and I dreamed of. And because of this, we have the Ace of Events team to thank for creating something so deeply personal. We'd heard horror stories about wedding planners from family and friends but with Ace of Events - not only did they exceed our expectations but we actually had so much fun throughout the wedding weekend working with them. My husband and I are extremely picky with how we like things done, but Ani really handled all of the craziness we threw their way with so much kindness. While we must have asked a trillion questions, had to make last minute venue changes due to weather, and much more, Ace of Events was so patient with us and really guided us in a way that all of these tasks created no stress. On the day of our wedding we were hit with multiple curve balls, but Ani always took the upper hand and made it his responsibility to handle everything for us so we (the bride, groom & our families) wouldn't have to stress anything. The wedding weekend was everything we envisioned, and more. I want to end this review by saying, I have no complaints about Ace of Events, they were beyond amazing that even our guests recognized their hard work and were surprised of how well and smoothly they handled everything. Thank you Ave of Events for everything you've done - we would definitely recommend you to anyone who is looking to have the perfect event without any added stress!!

Ellen Dubin is phenomenal…read more We chose her based on a referral from friends who've had her do their various bar/bat mitzvahs and weddings. There were several things that made our wedding planning rather challenging - an April wedding in DC with unpredictable weather, a wedding taking place at a private home requiring everything to be imported to that site, and a bride, a groom, and parents that were in three different locations in two different time zones. Ellen was very flexible and adaptable and cleared her schedule to make the most of the limited time we had with her when all three of us were in town. I think one of the best and most useful things about using Personally Yours was the access that Ellen had to various vendors - three things - the tent, the decor, and the food - were the most important part of this wedding and all three were phenomenal. Our wedding was on somewhat short notice - about 8 months to plan - and she was able to acquire Joel from Occasions and Jeffrey from Fox Ventures and Davis from Sugar Plum Tents. All three were exceptional and made multiple trips to our wedding site to plan and coordinate the event. All three had rave reviews about Ellen and it was clear that the people and vendors she surrounded herself with were all people very familiar with each other and worked well with each other. Ellen was able to provide experience, wisdom, and advice about the way we were trying to shape our wedding. She listened carefully and made significant efforts to understand what we wanted for our wedding. There were certain things she was adamant about that we had never really considered including the flow of the guests, the rhythm and scheduling of the band in conjunction with speeches and meals being served. How to introduce a WOW factor for guests when they stepped into our tent. And she paid close consideration to the theme and atmosphere we wanted to have. We wanted to go for a vintage chic / garden wedding that was intermingled with the natural beauty of the house where we were getting married. She advised us on the position of the tent, the dance floor, ways to accent the natural warmth of the home, and how to make sure everyone was fed and watered without any glitches. Ellen is experienced and has done what I'm sure are hundreds of weddings. Before hiring her we had concerns that since she does bar and bat mitzvahs too, that the wedding wouldn't have the perfect wedding feel- but that was not an issue whatsoever! Our wedding was a dream come true. It was perfect - like a work of art in motion. If wedding planners could be named artists she's a Van Gogh or da Vinci. She works so hard and is brilliant at it too! Ellen listens, executes, is efficient, and gets the job done. She is very much about business and there are some times when she might say some things are less feasible than others. It's not difficult to believe her because for most things she'll bend over backward to execute and have her staff work accomplish. But she is honest and will let you know when she disagrees with a suggestion or would like to tweak something and see if you'd like it better that way. The second place where her brilliance comes in is the day of the wedding and ensuring everything goes smoothly. The order of the ceremony, the flow of guests, collecting gifts, re-bustling my dress as she predicted the bustle would come undone, directing bridesmaids/groomsmen, getting the crowd onto the dance floor, and making sure shuttles are coming and going etc. Things were flawless! We wish we could go back to last weekend and relive it all over again! Thank you Ellen!

Ellen and her team at Personally Yours are absolutely phenomenal! She was the planner for our…read morewedding, and we couldn't be happier with how the event played out. First of all, Ellen was completely dedicated to making sure that the wedding reflected us: our choices, our vibe, our personality. While she has opinions about how to make sure you get the best vendors and the best quality service, she made sure that the event was about us: not about her, not about our parents, but about us. But boy, did she assemble a dream team! Her extensive experience in this industry means that she knows who the best people are, and everyone she chose, from the caterer to the florist to the photographer, were absolutely excellent. I really appreciated how she made a point of figuring out what our vibe was and what we were looking for, and then matched us with a top-quality vendor who could deliver that vibe. We also can't help but mention how organized, thorough, and patient Ellen and her team are. They thought of everything, every little wrinkle and nuance, and they navigated those nuances through a decidedly larger-than-normal planning committee of six people! Not only will Personally Yours deliver an absolutely amazing, personalized event, they'll do it in a way that can make you, your guests, and even your in-laws proud and happy. We can't recommend them strongly enough-: if you want a fantastic event, go with Ellen and her team.

Jackie was absolutely incredible from start to finish. She guided us through every little detail and made sure nothing was overlooked. Her comprehensive checklists helped us understand everything we needed for our wedding. Even though my husband and I have attended many weddings over the years, there were still so many things we never would have thought of ourselves! Without Jackie, I can easily imagine us showing up on our wedding day only to realize we were missing something important. After the wedding, one thing my husband and I kept saying to each other was, "If it weren't for Jackie and Wedding Story, we probably would have given up on having a wedding ceremony." That alone says everything about how much of a difference they made for us. Jackie's experience and expertise truly shine through in the way she helps couples get the most out of their wedding budget. She knows how to maximize what you have and make everything come together beautifully without losing sight of your budget. One of the biggest highlights our guests raved about was the flowers! I received so many compliments on my bouquet and the floral decorations. My friends were so impressed that some even said, "You must have spent so much on the flowers!" The arrangements were absolutely beautiful, and we were so happy with how everything turned out. We also had many guests traveling from far away, so food was one of our biggest priorities. We chose a buffet from a restaurant Jackie recommended, and our guests couldn't stop complimenting the food. Everyone mentioned how delicious everything was. We were so grateful that our guests felt so well taken care of. Our ceremony and reception venues came with quite a few restrictions, but Jackie and the Wedding Story team did everything they could to work within those limitations and make our day special. We truly appreciate all the effort, care, and dedication they put into making our wedding day everything we hoped it would be. Meeting Wedding Story was such a blessing to us. Jackie, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us have the wedding of our dreams! We couldn't have done it without you, and we are so grateful to have had you by our side throughout this journey. Thanks to you, we were able to celebrate such a meaningful day with our loved ones and begin this new chapter of our lives with wonderful memories. If you're currently planning your wedding, I wholeheartedly recommend Wedding Story for both pre-wedding planning and day-of coordination! It is absolutely worth every penny and so much more. The peace of mind, expertise, and care Jackie provides are truly priceless. You won't regret investing in Wedding Story for your big day!

She is much more than just a day of coordinator she really is invested in her couples and their wedding. I have not yet had her at my wedding however I have known her for the past year and a half leading up to this wedding date and will be working with her for a whole another year since my wedding has been rescheduled due to covid-19. She has even helped me sort out contracts and getting in touch with other vendors to reschedule she is a dream. I have felt so overwhelmed at times I have just had to reach out and she never seems irritated or sounds like her job is an obligation. She is upbeat friendly willing to take on any challenge. she's a type of person that even if things go wrong not only is she probably going to save the day but she's going to make you feel like it never happened. One last thing that I want to mention Kelly has excellent planning documents they are very thorough and very precise. I have seen pictures from other wedding she has done she is very innovating and can basically do anything you want. Perfect for a bride that wants to do unique wedding styles, as she herself is a very unique and special person and it no doubt comes out in all of her work.
