Aside from my love for all-things-events-and-weddings, I am a cat mom, dog mom (to the best dog ever, truly), goofy type-A (yes, we exist). I love everything coffee, purple, and vintage; I almost never go somewhere without red lipstick. And you’ll probably see me somewhere in downtown Frederick at least twice a week. The SBD team has a team of Leads and Assistants of all backgrounds but we all share a love for logistics and supporting couples on their special day!

Sarah is an absolute rock star and a walking Excel spreadsheet (in the best way possible!) You can tell she truly loves what she does for a living. She radiates positivity and gave us complete confidence that our wedding day would be perfect no matter what, rain or shine. Every detail was so thoughtfully planned and flawlessly executed. Sarah was always available, responsive, and happy to answer any questions we had. She also had existing relationships with many of our Frederick-based vendors (venue, photographer, florist, linens), which made coordination seamless and stress-free. We couldn’t recommend her and her team more—no one else could have matched her level of organization, professionalism, and care throughout the entire year we worked together.

Unlike some other reviews I’ve written, this is a very easy one to write because of how great our experience was with Caroline and her assistant. Now that we’re on the other side of our wedding I can say hands down hiring Caroline was one of if not the best decision we made during the process. We both can not recommend her more. One of the best aspects of working with her is that she will streamline and simplify the process, she’s also a great consultant resource for the do’s and don’ts of wedding planning. Despite having many balls up in the air she is an excellent communicator. She responds back in a timely manner even when she is busy working with other clients. Moreover, her assistance the day of the wedding was critical to its success. We actually finished our wedding 30ish minutes ahead of schedule which gave us more time for the reception. If that doesn’t say good project management skills I don’t what does. That feat was made more impressive because we had a Hindu ceremony and Christian one, making it a very long day. Again big thank you to Caroline and her assistant. I will forever be singing your praises and recommending you to anyone getting married.

Megan is the absolute best! We used her day of coordinating service and it was one of the best choices we made throughout the planning process. From the very beginning, she made us feel comfortable. She truly took the time to not only get to know what our wants and needs were for the wedding, but also who we were as a couple. She is insanely organized, detailed oriented, and definitely knows her stuff when it comes to the wedding industry. We had full confidence in Megan and her team to execute our vision for the day and they delivered. We seriously had nothing to worry about day of, even a makeup stain on my wedding dress was no match for Megan! If you're on the fence about hiring a day of coordinator, just do it.

Maddie did an amazing job for our wedding. She was great to work with and made our day stress free and run smoothly. She is organized and her templates helped simplify the planning process for us.

I cannot sing Emma’s praises enough!!! We hired Emma as a month-of coordinator and are fully convinced she is the sole reason our wedding went off without a hitch! We had over 200 people and our ceremony was at a different location from our reception—no small undertaking—and from the moment we started working together, we knew our wedding was in good hands. Emma is extremely organized and has the perfect demeanor for this type of work. When I was actively pulling my hair out with stress (and a venue that was less than forthcoming about a conflict with our event space), Emma stepped up and made sure everything went smoothly, all while remaining calm, cool and collected. Emma was SO easy to work with and is a pleasure to be around. She also has a great inventory of items to bolster your décor—we ended up renting a card box and table numbers from her that she printed and designed with our names on it! She helped us hone our vision and refine our timeline, all while making sure everything was finalized to our liking! She put out every fire that popped up and truly felt like our wedding day guardian angel. Do yourself a favor and book Simply Grater Events!!!

We first met Island Creek Events at a bridal expo in Queenstown, and from that moment, we knew we were in good hands. After an initial Zoom call where they explained everything they offer, how the process would work with a day-of coordinator, and broke down all the pricing, we felt confident moving forward—and we’re so glad we did. We had Naomi as our day-of planner, and she was absolutely amazing. We truly could not have asked for a better person to help guide us through the final stretch leading up to our wedding on August 2nd. From the start, she made everything feel manageable. We Zoomed once a week to stay on track, and she walked us through what needed to be done on our end vs. what she would handle. She answered every question (big or small) and was always willing to schedule extra meetings if we needed them. Naomi was there for our dress rehearsal the night before and stayed with us all day on the wedding day. She took care of setup, made sure every guest got the right meal, and kept everything running smoothly—so much so that if any issues came up, we never even knew. She handled everything with such grace and calm, and because of her, we were able to truly enjoy our day without stress. Naomi was a total lifesaver, and we’re endlessly grateful for her dedication, professionalism, and care.

Owned by certified wedding planner Renee Coshin Coolbaugh, the company’s organizational skills are perfect for newly engaged couples or couples who have been planning for some time. Crafting memorable celebrations, RCC Weddings & Events strives to exceed your wedding day expectations!

Renee is THE wedding planner - look no further!! From the jump, she took us under her wing and answered any and all questions we had, was extremely attentive, and made us feel comfortable and prepared. Having planned too many weddings to count, she really knows the industry and all the ins and outs of planning a wedding. She met with us multiple times leading up to the wedding, and always came prepared with outlines, itineraries, and details that we would have never thought of! She also is the sweetest and so easy to get along with. Truly felt like we had known her for years. With regards to communication, she was extremely responsive, and always kept us in the loop. As we got closer to the wedding, and things inevitably became more hectic, vendors would email us questions and before I could even think of a response, Renee had already replied and had the situation handled. I can’t tell you the amount of ease and stress relief Renee brought us. The weekend of the wedding, my husband and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Her team was quick and efficient and got things done. Our ceremony and reception set up was done exactly the way we had described and even exceeded expectations when we told her to use her creative liberties! I am the type to stress about details and worry about things running smoothly, but on our wedding day, I didn’t think twice about anything but enjoying the day. We knew Renee had it handled. If I thought of something last minute to bring up to Renee she would immediately say with ease, “we have it handled, don’t worry about a thing!!” I can’t emphasize how much that meant to us. My biggest advice to anyone planning a wedding would be to book a wedding planner and to get RENEE!!!! We will forever look back on our wedding knowing we, and everyone at our wedding, fully enjoyed every second and were not swept up in day-of tasks and duties. No one was stressed or worried about getting something done. People got to relax, party, and just enjoy themselves, because Renee had it handled.

Macy's personable approach, really getting to know us and what we were looking for, and always being open to answering questions and being transparent about everything was a large part of us feeling very comfortable with working with her. We were able to utilize the guest and table layout tools that Macy makes available, and it was very helpful to be able to share that with her so she could coordinate directly with vendors and not need us to drive those conversations. There was so much that Macy helped to coordinate behind the scenes in the weeks leading up to our wedding day, it helped things to run incredibly smoothly. The rehearsal day was well run, with Macy walking us through what everyone in our wedding party and families needed to do and where to be - and this translated over to the actual wedding day itself, where Macy and her team helped to communicate with everyone, ushering people to the right spots, blocking and tackling folks from inadvertently going into the getting ready areas, and generally helping with all of the setup and teardown and keeping all of us on schedule. We can't speak highly enough of Macy, and many of our guests were truly impressed with how smooth everything ran. If you're looking for a wedding coordinator or planner who will truly have YOUR vision and best intentions in mind, definitely reach out to Macy!

Working with Velada Events was truly one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning journey. From the very first hourly brainstorming session, Geraldine made us feel heard, understood, and completely supported. Each meeting was not only productive, but also inspiring — they helped us bring our ideas to life while offering thoughtful suggestions we never would have considered on our own. We left every call feeling more confident, more organized, and even more excited for our big day. Our wedding on February 21, 2025 was everything we dreamed of and more, and we truly believe the care and attention given to us during those hourly sessions played a huge role in that. Thank you Velada Events for helping us plan a celebration that felt perfectly us.

We were planning from the west coast for our Virginia wedding, and Jill was truly a lifesaver. From day one, she was incredibly communicative and kept us on track every step of the way, which gave us such peace of mind. Jill went above and beyond when it came to our décor. Not only did she help us design stunning tablescapes, but she also provided the perfect finishing touches—everything from table numbers to candle holders, welcome table, seating chart and individual name card tents to make our vision come to life! On the day of the wedding, Jill handled any issues before we even knew they existed! Her professionalism and calm demeanor were unmatched, and she always seemed to know exactly what I needed before I could even think to ask. If you’re getting married in the Leesburg/Purcellville area, you absolutely need Jill as your coordinator. She is amazing at what she does, and we couldn’t have imagined our wedding day without her!

We had our wedding in June this year and we can confidently say it would not have happened without Shaymah Ansari Weddings! As a couple, we are not big wedding people, but we ultimately choose to have a wedding due to our families. Shaymah was able to meet us where we were as a couple and was able to guide us step by step through the hectic process that is wedding planning. Shaymah and her team were able to be the eyes, ears, and overall planning we needed at each step in the wedding planning process by providing the much needed research, resources, and organization. When we (or our family) had specific things they wanted to include, Shaymah was able to prioritize these traditions/inclusions and seamlessly integrate them into the larger whole. The whole team is incredibly organized, communicative, and detail oriented while still being responsive and friendly. We would recommend Shaymah Ansari Weddings to anyone planning a wedding or event, especially if they would like someone who can really take the lead on their behalf!
