Wedding Savvy, specifically Jiae Kim, ensured our destination wedding in Annapolis, MD went off without a hitch. Jiae provided prior-planning services and coordination as well as day of planning/event coordination for my husband and I's 140 person USNA/Governor Calvert House Wedding. Both of us are active duty military who planned our Aug 2016 wedding from California. Jiae eased all of my concerns and kept everything on schedule so my husband and I could enjoy our time with family and friends rather than us focusing on logistics. In the event you are planning from afar or simply don't want to be the one everyone is going on your wedding, please please please check out Wedding Savvy. They are highly professional and have an excellent rapport with local vendors in the area. Thank you again Jiae for making our day stress-free and so memorable!

Exceptional Experience with Wedding Savvy!!

A little over two months ago, our daughter was married in North Beach at Herrington on the Bay. We knew it would be a good idea to hire a Wedding Coordinator because we had various
outside vendors, family coming in from out of town, and friends flying in from all over the country. The coordination of these moving parts was a bit overwhelming, although the venue was wonderful to work with, we knew it would be wise to get some help! Herrington on the Bay recommended that we reach out to Wedding Savvy, a full-service wedding planning and consultation company based out of Eastern Maryland. Our first call was with Senior Consultant, Leslie Jefferson. To say that Leslie was delightful would be an understatement.
She took the time to get to know our daughter, her maid of honor (our younger daughter) and
me (the mother of the bride). We hired Leslie to assist us two months out, and she coordinated the vendors and created a minute-by-minute timeline for the wedding. There was no detail missed, and Leslie even brought up many items that we had not considered. She was a God-sent! Leslie also worked seamlessly with the staff of Herrington and made sure they were synced with her master timeline. She coordinated 4-5 meetings between our daughter, her sister and myself, and kept a timeline of tasks and needed information.
Leslie had a calm and confident demeanor that left everyone feeling reassured as we approached the week of the wedding. She handled the behind-the-scenes “to-dos” with grace and efficiency. On the morning of the wedding, my husband went out to the venue and noticed a volleyball team had set up on the beach, just behind the location where our daughter would be having her ceremony. We let Leslie know and she took care of the situation without delay, letting the volleyball players know that this was a private beach, owned by the venue, and that
her client had reserved this beach area for wedding. This gave them time to relocate to a different section of the beach, much further down, so they did not disrupt the ceremony.
We were so happy with Leslie and the Wedding Savvy Team!! The greatest compliment came
from our daughter who said it truly was “the best day of her life.” If you are looking for a wedding consultant, please consider Leslie Jefferson and her staff. They definitely received 5 stars from the Lathrop family for their professionalism, being exceptionally detailed, kind and absolutely lovely.

Wedding Savvy

I was hesitant to hire a wedding planner initially as I was thinking I could coordinate everything myself. After deciding on a big wedding I thought twice about it. After discussing a different packages with Leslie Jefferson, I decided to work with her for the entire process. She was wonderful. She recommended several venders who we hired. We were married Aug 26, 2023 at the Baltimore Museum of industry. There were 185 guests. Leslie kept us organized and stayed in touch with all the vendors throughout the entire process and the day of the wedding. It was such peace of mind knowing she was there handling all the details. The ceremony was beautiful. We had a full service sit down dinner , cocktail hour /reception , open bar and DJ. Our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to, thanks to Leslie. I couldn't of done it without her. Everything was perfect. I highly recommend using wedding Savvy for your wedding.
