Phenomenal planning of our dream day!

We worked with Nadia to plan our Charlottesville wedding and are so glad we did! From our intro call through the last minute of the wedding, she was a dream to work with. Nadia helped us assemble an all-star vendor team, was in communication with us throughout the entire year leading up to our wedding, and had great ideas to help our vision come to life. Charlottesville was a "destination" wedding for us, and we were so grateful to have someone with local knowledge guiding us in the planning. The day was executed beautifully and flawlessly - truly better than we could have imagined!

Fantastic Full-Planning

We dragged our feet with wedding planning and had to put the whole thing together in less than a year (December 2023) - needless to say we knew we needed an amazing wedding planner to save the day. Enter Mary - and everything came together smoother than we could have dreamed!

Getting married in Charlottesville was a bit of a 'destination' for us so we wanted someone with a long list of vendors and contacts. She listened to our vision and wants and recommended the perfect people for photography, flowers, officiating, DJ and more. Mary kept us on track with budgeting and decision-making. She was always patient during our calls while we over-thought every decision and was good at given direct homework. We loved how she worked behind the scenes and only let us know when the details were important, which contributed so much to lowering our wedding stress. Mary was also so helpful with design and knew exactly how to execute our ideas in a way that felt timeless and classy.

On the wedding day, we were amazed at how smoothly the entire thing ran. We never had to break from the party to resolve issues and everything we expected to happen was delivered without effort. We had so many compliments on her efficiency and demeanor. If you want to make your wedding planning FUN and EASY, hire Mary! You won't regret it!

They Create Magic

I cannot recommend enough. Nadia went above and beyond to make our day perfect. There was rain in the forecast at our outdoor venue and Nadia not only kept me sane (which isn't easy), but she was able to create the exact feel that we wanted despite the rain. She created pure magic, we'd never be able to thank her enough. An unforgettable, romantic, gorgeous day. Planning was a dream. If you're looking for a wedding planner that will put their heart and soul into your day, look no further.
