She thought of everything and took so much off of my plate - I really could not have done this without her. On the wedding day I had no stress at all - Christy handled everything smoothly and with a smile. She is worth WAY more than she charges, and even more tellingly she is willing to go above and beyond for her brides. Event though I only purchased her day-of coordination services, she never hesitated to answer my calls or emails even months before the wedding, and had not one but two in-person consultations with me. She is the real deal, and I can't recommend her highly enough.

From our very first conversations, PJ was professional, attentive, and genuinely cared about bringing our vision to life. You could tell right away this wasn't just another event for her, she truly puts her heart into what she does. The setup was stunning. We had a beautiful bar, a fun and interactive photo booth station, a gorgeous charcuterie cart, AND even a golf simulator--which was a massive hit with our guests! It really felt like a one-stop shop for everything we could've possibly wanted, and then some. We went ALL OUT for this retirement celebration, and I'm so grateful we chose PJ and her team. Every detail was handled flawlessly, and it allowed us to actually enjoy the night without stress. I'm especially thankful my friend recommended her to me, best decision ever! Whether you're military or not, if you're looking for exceptional, top-notch service, you absolutely need to book PJ and her incredible team. We will 100% be using them again for future events (we love to party, so this won't be the last time ). Thank you again, PJ, Cyana , and your entire amazing team--you made this night unforgettable!

I recently used Dawn in the planning of my daughters wedding day. We had found and booked all our…read morevendors before finding Dawn. However, she could be very helpful in finding vendors that would meet your needs if you need that. In the few weeks leading up to the day Dawn made contact with all our vendors and got timeline information from them as what to expect on the wedding day. Months before the wedding she met with my daughter and got to know her and what she wanted for her special day! I think one of the most important things she did for me, the Mom, was to reassure me that everything would go smoothly. On the day of the wedding she was amazingly helpful in getting all the people in the right places at the right times. She had wonderful suggestions on positioning of the bridal party for the best view by all those attending the ceremony. I also had three elderly grandparents that she made sure was comfortable until their time to be escorted in. At the reception she spoke with and got to know all the vendors. She set up escort cards, had favors arranged for the guest, took care of the gift table and helped guest find their tables. She kept everything going to the timeline we needed to follow during the reception. At the end of the night all the gifts were taken to my room and she let me know what I would need to gather after it was over. She truly made my evening relaxing as well as the bride and groom! I would highly recommend Dawn in any aspect of the planning of your wedding!

Wow, wow, WOW! What a fascinating place! So much history!…read more My friend and I went for a ghost tour on a Saturday night. The woman who ran our tour is named Sarah and she is a direct descendant of one of the original families that lived there. Also assisting with the tour was a man named Kenny from a paranormal research group in Richmond. Kenny considers himself a sceptic. His organization (I can't remember the name), works to document data, analyze the data, and try to come up with a scientific reason for the "paranormal" incidents. Both Sarah and Kenny have LOADS of knowledge! They shared a lot of history and stories with our small group. They also provided K2 meters that detect energy fluctuations. The stories were absolutely fascinating, first-hand, and some very recent (including with Kenny the sceptic). While we were finishing our tour, we heard a loud thunk on the wooden floor of the landing where we were, as if it had been struck with a boot or solid-heeled shoe. Then the floor was vibrating in a progressing manner as if someone was walking across the floor. One of the light-up cat toy balls on the floor was lighting up like crazy and several of the K2 meters were lighting up. So how about that?! A tour WITH paranormal activity! What a fun experience! I cannot wait to go back!

Smith's Fort is the site of Captain John Smith's proposed "New Fort" and is located directly across…read morethe James River from Jamestown on the banks of Gray's Creek. In 1609, Captain John Smith began construction of a fort site on the property. The fort was abandoned a few months later due to what would be known as the "Starving Time" in Jamestowne. The earthworks dug 411 years ago in 1609 can still be seen to this day. Captain John Smith built a fort on the south side of the James River as a retreat position should Jamestown be attacked by Virginia Indians or the Spanish. This dower tract of land between two streams was given to John Rolfe in 1614 by Powhatan upon Rolfe's marriage to Pocahontas. It is considered the first land actually given to America by the Indians. Rolfe is known to have cultivated the early tobacco crop on this property known as the Virginia Sweet. Between 1751 and 1765, a brick plantation house was built that still stands today, with much of its interior original pine woodwork still intact. The Manor House exemplifies the upper-middle-class lifestyle enjoyed by the Jacob Faulcon family in 18th-century Surry County. In 1886, the property, then called Gray's Creek Farm, was purchased by a collective group of African American families including Bolling Morris, John and Carter Hardy and Robertson Simmons. By the 1920s, Mr. Morris was the sole owner and he eventually sold it via an agent to John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Smith's Fort was later acquired by Preservation Virginia in 1933 and has operated as a museum ever since. Located in the manor house is a print on paper from a steel engraving done by John C. McRae in 1855 entitled, "The Wedding of Pocahontas." It was modeled from an original oil painting by Henry Brueckner in the same year. It depicts the day in April 1614 when Pocahontas was wed to Englishman John Rolfe, an event that initiated 8 years of peace with the Algonquin Indians. The original painting resides in the Getty Museum. This is a Virginia treasure and recommend a visit.
