About
Leslie-Manning Events is a full-service event planning company located in Washington, DC. We specialize in planning and designing weddings and special events.

Leslie-Manning Events was founded on the philosophy that engaged couples need a support system to keep them from getting caught in the vortex of wedding planning stress. To avoid what author Anne Kingston calls "the wedding-industrial complex", the underpinnings of "bridezilla" culture. To help them plan a celebration that is a reflection of their individuality, style, and tastes, while making the process a true joy.

Since Leslie-Manning Events was established in 2005, we have planned events ranging from an intimate wedding for 75 in a historic mansion to a ross-cultural garden party for 600. We have operated within budgets ranging from $15,000 to $300,000. We have worked with American, Indian, Caribbean, Nigerian, Vietnamese, and French brides and grooms, helping them design modern weddings while staying true to their unique culture and traditions.

We pride ourselves in our distinctive personal attention, our comprehensive event coordination and advice, our uncomplicated approach to planning and design, and our undeniably elegant events.

We invite you to call us at 202-337-0496 or send an email to leslie@lesliemanningevents.com to begin planning and designing your dream day.

Leslie is incredible! She kept me up to date on the ever-changing wedding day schedule, and organized tons of details the day of the wedding to keep everything running smoothly. She was ever-present, yet stayed in the background to help keep the attention focused on the happy couple. I would highly recommend Leslie, and wish I could work with her every weekend!
I recently DJ'd at a wedding at which Leslie Weekes of Leslie-Manning Events was planner/coordinator. I was mightily impressed by her. For one thing, she reached out to other vendors in advance -- not only sharing her detailed draft schedule but proactively soliciting input and suggestions. As a fellow professional vendor who is very hands-on with my wedding clients, I cannot tell you how much I appreciated that. And it's the smart thing to do. It really is. For another thing, Leslie and her team of young, enthusiastic assistants did a wonderful job on the "day of" -- in this case, helping to coordinate a fairly elaborate and multi-faceted event, doing so with energy and grace and good humor -- and contributing greatly to a wedding reception that was, by all accounts, a smashing success. Highly recommended!
