Myrna is worth her weight in gold, or whatever the most expensive precious metal is that day. We contacted her for assistance as a day-of-coordinator, but she provided much more than that. Through her professional contacts and business, we were able to obtain wedding invitations, chairs, and gifts for ushers/best man/matron of honor/reader at a substantial discount. But her services as a coordinator were the best value of all. Every meeting that we had with her was so useful and helped us feel comfortable that we were moving forward and meeting deadlines. Right before the wedding, she coordinated with the hotel, officiant, designer/florist, and dj to ensure everyone was on the same page. Myrna also attended the rehearsal and patiently reviewed the gameplan for the day of the wedding. The staff she brought with her was professional and clearly knew the timeline of the day. With nearly 250 guests, we were simply amazed how smoothly the entire day went. We can't thank Myrna enough for all of her efforts in making our wedding day such a great one.

I used Myrna as a "day of coordinator" and was extremely pleased with her services. I met with her two weeks before the wedding and we walked through the events of the day. I thought I was pretty well prepared for the day but was SO pleased with the questions she asked me and quickly realized the benefit of having a professional manage our big day. From organizing the vendors schedule (cake delivery, florist, hair and make up arrival, photographer arrival, etc...), to confirming the time schedule of the reception events she made sure that everything ran smoothly. Myrna did all the worrying for me - all I had to do was show up and enjoy the day with my new husband and family and friends. The things that I appreciated most about Myrna are: 1. Professionalism - she takes her job seriously and has a lot of experience she is bringing to the table 2. Passion - she loves brides and weddings and it shows. She made me feel like my wedding was the most important wedding ever. She was as excited about making it a memorable day as I was. 3. Personality - while Myrna is as sweet as can be she is also tough - she knows how to negotiate with vendors and manage them on YOUR behalf. She has worked with many different providers in the DC area and has established relationships. 4. Attention to detail - One of the things I liked best working with Myrna is the fact that she paid attention to who I am and what is important to me. She made sure that my wedding reflected me and my husband. She is not a "cookie cutter" coordinator. If you are wanting to have a beautiful day and not worry about a thing then Myrna is your coordinator!

Myrna was wonderful! We had a very limited budget, and Myrna worked with us to help us find the best vendors in the area within our price range. She is incredibly resourceful and very knowledgeable. She helped save us money in numerous different areas. She was by far the best wedding investment we could have made.

For All Occasions - Myrna Grossman...OUTSTANDING. I am the Mother-of-the-Bride and I felt like a guest. Myrna left no stones unturned to ensure the perfection of our special day. I was simply amazed at all the details one could overlook, including her sewing kit, which was needed. Even this morning - a few days after the wedding, she is still following up on after-the fact matters so neither me nor my daughter need worry. She is simply amazing. I would - actually, I do - recommend Myrna to all brides should you need a carefree wedding!

Myrna was absolutely great! She is very experienced and took care of everything. My husband and I got the full package she offers (she has many packages to choose from) where she does everything you ask. We'd meet with her regularly and she was always on top of everything and would remind us of details we didn't even think off thus saving us a lot of panic and trouble later. I really liked her because she listened to us. There are horror stories of wedding planners who are constantly badgering you into what they think you should do. Myrna was always professional and yet approachable and friendly. She'd only offer her opinion if you asked for it or unless she thought it was a major mistake. But she let you have your opinion and carried that out. Also she was very strict to the budget we gave. She didn't try to inflate our budget at all but was very concerned about keeping within our spending limit. Myrna is also very responsive. I'd always get an email within a day and she'd always let me know ahead of time if she was out of town for a few days and would still try hard to check her email. She is always very flexible as far as times to meet and changes in plans. We changed the wedding date and moved it up 3 weeks and she was fine. She didn't panic or anything. She just immediately began calling and informing the vendors. On that note, she had a huge amount of vendors that she knew were reputable and of various price points. She also got discounts on many items like invitations, wedding favors etc. She is a little on the expensive side I think, but I also think it is pretty much worth it especially if you have a complicated wedding. Overall she is very calming and you feel safe being with her. I have confidence that she'll be great for you too!

Myrna was wonderful to work with! I ordered my invitations through her and they turned out great. She also provided with me the month before wedding planning and day-of service. I would highly recommend Myrna to other brides, and I know I'll stay in touch with her in the years to come!

Myrna rocks! Her pre- and day-of services were invaluable in helping me plan my wedding. I went into the planning process thinking I could "do it all" (and save money)...I am so lucky my wise fiance gently suggested we needed help...I could not have done it without her! She provided support, organization and advise before the Big Day, and a HUGE comfort and sense of peace the day of our wedding. I did not have to worry, coordinate, organize or fret about any vendors or site preparation...she did it all! I highly recommend her! She is organized, creative, calm, and worth every penny!

She has an amazing selection of everything you can think of and is priced very well. She was very helpful in helping us find exactly what matched with my weddding and the finished products were always amazing everything coordinated so well and as an event planner all the little details made my wedding that much better!!

Myrna is an amazing planner, she is very responsive and professional. We were so blessed to have her apart of our wedding and I don't know what we would have done without Myrna. We didn't have to worry about a thing and the wedding process went so smoothly with For All Occasion. I highly recommend her services and would love to be a reference.
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't even know where to begin.... When my husband and I got engaged he was stationed in California and I was out in Virginia, at the time I was a manager in retail so I worked crazy hours and I just knew that trying to plan a wedding without the help of someone who actually knew what they were doing was madness so I decided to call Myrna at For all occasions. I had picked up a pamphlet from a bridal boutique and I was so excited to find that she was only a ten minute drive from my house!!! After our initial meeting I really didn't need or even think to meet with another planner. We discussed in detail my budget and my vision and everything about Myrna really impressed me from her caring nature and professionalism and ger desire to always look out for my best interests. She really made the planning process run smoothly and as I had expected. She knows so many wonderful vendors who were all willing to work with my budget and taste. I think that what I loved most about Myrna was her ability to turn the wedding planning business into a very personal event, I was so worried about finding someone that actually cared about my wedding and me as a person rather then strictly business and I found that with her. I would reccommend Myrna to anyone I know that is trying to plan a wedding because she does an outstanding job! I was so thrilled that everything worked out so perfectly and even our friends and famy noticed that everything was so wonderfully put together. I honestly could not have done this without her and I am so thankful that she was with me through it all! Thanks so much Myrna your the best!!

Myrna and I have known each other and have been planning weddings together for almost five years! When my husband and I got engaged, she was the only one who I trusted with my wedding invitations! The most difficult part was getting my husband to agree to having hot pink as an accent color! Once that bridge was crossed, I looked through a few books and chose an invitation that represented the personalities of my husband and I. Myrna had to go out of town, but even while she was away she worked on getting the invites ordered. They came in fast and were sent out within a few weeks. My husband and I couldn't be happier with the way they turned out!!!

Myrna was amazing! We used Myrna for full wedding planning and I am so glad we did. She saved me many disagreements that I might have had with my mother and my mother-in-law. Every vendor we used was the first one she suggested because she knew exactly what we were looking for. And our wedding was amazing! I don't know what we would have done without Myrna. Thanks again Myrna!

Hiring Myrna was the best decision that we made for our wedding. She will work with you every step of the way to make sure that your wedding comes off without a hitch. She has extensive knowledge and connections in the industry, which is really helpful, but is also not pushy and lets you choose which vendors you feel will be the best. We also used Myrna for our wedding invitations, and she was so patient with us. We came back twice before making a decision on which ones we wanted, and she was so patient with us. She will work for you and deal with any issues that come up with your vendors or with your venue. She was our saving grace throughout the wedding planning process.
