Vicky was my wedding planner, and I really can't say enough about her. Let's just start from the beginning...
I interviewed two planners, and I knew I wanted Vicky right away because I was confident that she could get the job done. She didn't want to be my best friend--she wanted to help us achieve the wedding of our dreams while staying under budget.
When we were deciding on what services we wanted her to take care of, she showed us this very detailed list of services, kind of like an a la carte menu. We wanted to keep our wedding planner services at $3000 I think, and so we basically picked and chose which things we wanted her to do. SO SIMPLE. No negotiating necessary. (I HATE negotiating!)
After that, she made it feel like our wedding was the only wedding she was working on, even though she had several that summer. Such attention to detail, with a balance of her suggestions and getting our input so that it would still be our wedding.
She responded to emails and calls right away, and she was at least 15 minutes early to every meeting. She was honest and straightforward about what she thought were bad ideas, which made us trust in the things that she was excited about and thought were great ideas.
Vicky just has so much experience that--really--every little tiny detail was taken care of, so that on the day of our wedding, all we had to do was get our hair and makeup done and show up at the wedding. (My husband and the groomsmen were actually bored the day of our wedding!) The weeks before the wedding, my friends--who know that I get stressed out managing dinner reservations--were amazed to see me so stress-free!
Lastly, and maybe I should've opened with this, as soon as we booked all of our vendors, I knew that the cost of having Vicky as our wedding planner paid for itself. The money and time we saved using Vicky's contacts (especially DJ, caterer and florist) was significant. SIGNIFICANT.
Please consider Vicky for your event planning services! She is amazing!

After interviewing over 10 wedding coordinators, I selected Vicky Choy as my day of coordinator. I appreciated the fact that she is a full-time wedding planner and has a background in project management. She also has a passion for the business and takes her reputation in the industry very seriously. In addition, her personality meshed well with mine and I enjoyed her no-nonsense honest approach. From day one, working with Vicky was a pleasure. Throughout my wedding planning process, Vicky was able to keep me on track with my scheduling, she offered honest advice, planning tools and and she came to my rescue when I encountered a vendor emergency. I also recommend taking advantage of her wedding day assistants which were invaluable in the execution of the wedding and reception. Vicky is very professional, has excellect work ethic and works tirelessly to ensure her brides are happy. In the end she provided more than day of coordination and I can not thank her enough!

Vicky was a referral from my friend's wedding and she was one of the best decisions I made during the wedding planning process. I am a project manager for an IT firm so I understand the importance of dates and being organized and Vicky complemented me very well and I completely trust her through the process. Everyone told me the week of the wedding that I was too relaxed and I just told everyone that everything was pretty much done and I had my wedding coordinator. In taking care last minute details, she helped me in making sure I had all the i's dotted and t's crossed. She also helped consulted me on design and wedding questions. She was very responsive and I could get a hold of her at any point of time to ask any type of questions - even if it was small or frivolous. The day of the wedding, it couldn't have gone any smoother. I didn't have to worry about anything. After the wedding, she did mention a few items that went slightly awry which I had no idea of. She made sure I was doing okay throughout the wedding.
I highly recommend Vicky and it's the one thing you definitely need as part of your wedding to stay sane :)

Our experience with Vicky exceeded our expectations from the start. From the initial meeting we knew that she was going to help us plan and execute the wedding we pictured in our minds. Her attention to detail, organization, and patience through the entire process made us comfortable and took so much stress off our families. Overall, I can’t say enough good things about Vicky and her talent for what she does. She rocks!

Vicky Choy provided day of wedding coordination as well as partial planning for our wedding and she did a fabulous job. She was extremely well organized and helped to keep us sane during a very stressful time. She was always available to deal with any problems in a timely manner. Even during her own family crisis she was responsive to our needs. Her fees were very reasonable and we feel she went above and beyond to provide the highest level of service. Vicky far exceeded our expectations. Personally she was very down to earth and easy to work with.

Vicky was an amazing coordinator. Despite our low end budget, she was able to come up with very creative ideas to make our wedding memorable. She really matched our interests and listened to what we wanted to add special touches to our themes. She was always very responsive to all my emails and went above and beyond what was in her contract to keep everything coordinated while I was going through a job change and a move right in the middle of planning. She kept everyone in line on the day of the wedding and I didn't have to worry about a single thing. She is highly recommended!

Vicky Choy has an incredible talent for wedding planning. Her organization skills were amazing!
We hired Vicky for day of coordination and I think it was one of the smartest decisions we made throughout the wedding planning process. Since Vicky took care of everything from following up with the vendors 1 week prior, delivering all of our decorations, programs, favors, etc to the wedding site, and setting/cleaning everything up, we didn't have to think, nor worry the day of the wedding. Knowing that she was there for that day to take care of all the details helped us relax completely and enjoy the day. Also, all of our vendors commented on how Vicky was the most pleasant and organized wedding planner they had ever worked with! If you are considering hiring a wedding planner, look no further than Vicky Choy!

We hired Vicky from Event Accomplished to coordinate the day of our wedding, after realizing that there was no way that we could deal with our vendors and still get ready for our big day. Vicky's professionalism and organizational skills exceeded our expectations. Even when my hsuband forgot the taps for the kegs less than an hour before the reception, Vicky didn't panic. She had her assistant run out to get replacements and I was just able to laugh about it later. We couldn't have done it without her!

Vicky was amazing and I highly recommend her. My FI dragged his feet on this decision (actually he totally put his foot down and said no to start). However after attending a friend's wedding where we ran around a lot and ended up setting things up etc, he relented. He now even says that this was the best money we spent. It was so worth it to not have to worry if everyone was at the church or if cocktail hour was set up or if my cake was there or to clean up at the end of the night and pack up all our stuff. We were even short one bout and she made one out of my toss bouquet - I doubt the groomsmen could have figured that one out on their own. She really helped me stay sane that day. Also all the meetings before the big day really helped me plan everything out and not be stressed that I forgot anything - she had it all covered.

Deciding to hire Vicky was one of the best decisions I made in the planning process. Because I knew she was taking care of everything, I was able to relax and enjoy my wedding day despite bad weather and traffic delays which put us severely behind schedule. Vicky was also right there to pin my bustle up when my husband accidently stepped on it during our first dance and ripped it out. She was the first vendor I saw in the morning and stayed to the very end even giving us a ride back to the hotel. I really, could not recommend her enough.

I am not sure that thank you even begins to do it....
The two of you were absolutely amazing. Everything went off seamlessly and the two of you made it all happen. Everything was so organized your attention to detail was impeccable. You made us, our families and our wedding party feel at ease and made it so easy for us to enjoy our day without having to worry about a thing.
Even though you were only our "day of" coordinator, you were able to work with us leading up to our wedding to help implement all of our ideas. You offered us great suggestions and guidance that really helped us to create our vision. We were amazed at how detailed our day of schedule was and relieved that you asked us so many questions to ensure that everything went off with out any problems.
We were so pleased to have worked with the two of you and could not have done it with out you. We absolutely had the time of our lives and everything about the wedding was more than we could have ever imagined.
Thank you again for everything!

I have nothing but praise for Vicky. She met with us several times before the wedding (even though we had only purchased 'day-of' services) and was very organized and professional. Her price was extremely reasonable, and she even brought along a helper on our wedding day--something I definitely hadn't expected for the price.

Vicky was fabulous! My husband and I both come from large families and she pulled us all together beautifully! We really couldn't have done it without all of her help. Her pre-wedding meetings with us were so helpful to keep us on track. And her scheduling was so flexible! We met at our apartment every time so that we never even had to deal with DC area traffic! And on the day of the wedding, I never worried about a thing because Vicky and her assistant were running around getting everything done for us. If I had to do it all over again, I would have involved Vicky earlier on in the process! She was fab-u--lous!
