Karey was my right hand and sometime even my left. We had an unfortunate situation 2 months before the wedding and Karey was the shoulder that I could lean on during those stressful moments. Karey and her staff were attentive, quick to respond, co-operative, compassionate and extremely well organized. The whole day ran so smoothly, their attention to detail amazing, from the breakfast and lunch for the wedding party, to special wedding day essential items, Karey, Brittany, Sarah and a host of others left nothing amiss. If there were any issues the day of, I as the MOB was totally unaware of it. Karey and her staff including Karey's husband of 4 months, provided endless hours (someitmes working well into the evening) to assure us a day filled with the most beautiful and lasting memories. All too soon it was over but I think that I speak not only for ourselves, but for my daughter and son-in-law that the monies spent with Historic Events was one good investment! My daughter and I also feel that we have a new friend. Sue

Historic Events is absolutely amazing!! My husband and I can't thank them enough for all the planning leading up to our wedding as well as all of the coordination that was going on the day of. I wouldn't recommend anyone else!!!! We love you guys!!!

I worked with Karey and Sarah as my Day-Of planners. I am so glad that they were there with me before and on my wedding day! They are both wonderful women and if anything went wrong on my wedding day, I still have no idea. Whenever I got wide-eyed at the amount of detail a task took, Karey and Sarah were right there to help me out. They got along well with my family and wedding party which was important to me. They worked seemlessly with the catering company and made sure that all of my DIY projects were displayed properly. They even decorated our room for our wedding night when my bridesmaids mentioned that the hotel didn't do a honeymoon package. It was so beautiful that I made my husband take pictures of everything! lol

The things that Karey did for me was beyond what I expected. She was not only a huge help and my right hand women she had to figure out how to make sure all of my vendors were going to be able to do my second wedding date after hurricane Irene cancelled my first wedding date. If it wasnt for karey I really dont know how i would of been able to do it without her. She has so many great ideas and knows how to keep everything rolling. She does great work and is very orgainized with everything she does.Thank you so much for everything you did for me and family for both wedding dates!

Using Historic Events (Melody and Zoe) from my October wedding at the Hyatt Chesapeake Bay was the best investment I made! They are competiviely priced but provide a lot of extra-value and personal service. My family kept commenting on how organized the whole experience was! And I was able to relax the entire day, with full confidence that Zoe and Melody were on top of every detail. If you are considering a "Day Of" coordinator in the Annapolis/Eastern Shore area, you must consider them!

Melody did a phenomenal job as our day-of-coordinator. We met her at a Bridal Show when we were first looking at vendors a year before the wedding. During that year, she was very helpful with making recommendations to us (i.e. the make-up artist and photographer) and with giving us advice on what to look for in other vendors. Since we live out of state, she was extremely flexible with her time and was willing to meet with us whenever we were able to head down to Maryland. As the wedding date approached, she got in touch with all the vendors we booked and gave them the wedding timeline that we worked on together. She did a walk-through with us and the caterer at the venue and helped out during the rehearsal. All of the little DIY decor that we had worked on over the months she made sure were put on display. When the wedding party before us left behind tacky white columns at the altar she and her team made sure they were removed and out of the way for our ceremony. During the reception the train on my dress wouldn't stay on the hooks and whenever I approached her for help with that she patiently pinned it back up for me (sooo thankful for that!) so that I was back out on the dance floor with little time wasted. She also had our car key and made sure that all the gifts that were given to us and the personal items we used during the ceremony (i.e. the Sake set and my grandmother's crocheted table cloth) ended up in our car so that we didn't have to pack it ourselves. On our last song, my groom forgot to give the DJ the CD that had the song we wanted played, she rushed out to the car and got it without any delay. These are just some of the little things that contributed to an overall OUTSTANDING SERVICE that Melody and her team provided. Melody is a hands-on coordinator, reliable, organized, friendly and always willing to do whatever it takes to ensure your day is as perfect as you want it to be.

We used the day-of-coordination service for our wedding. Initially we worked with Melody-- she helped us to book and answered a few questions. When we sat down to work out the details Chrissie took over. Chrissie was extremely organized, helpful and professional. She made copies of all of my vendor contracts and helped to come up with a timeline for the wedding day. She also called all of the vendors and confirmed the arrangements. At one point I emailed my venue asking if the rentals could be picked up the day after the wedding (at the caterer's request) and I cc'd Chrissie on the email. Chrissie responded that she had already worked out this detail with the venue. Wow! The day before the wedding she came to my home and picked up a few boxes of stuff that needed to be transported to the venue the next day. The day of the wedding she kept everything running smooth... we had already worked out 99% of the details beforehand so this wasn't much of a problem. However, one of the guests had a heart attack during the reception! Chrissie helped to manage the situation and remain calm and the situation was dealt with a minimum of disruption and embarrassment to the guest (who was transported to the hospital and is ok). We also had a bit of a snafu with the father-daughter dance song and Chrissie helped to fix it. I can honestly say that the wedding would not have been pulled off so fabulously without her. She helped to make sure all the gifts and personal items were packed up in the car, all the little details that I did not have anyone to take care of for me she stepped in to help. I highly recommend her!! I also highly recommend day-of-coordination to every single bride. The last thing you want to worry about is ANYTHING on your wedding day. Get Chrissie to help you :-) Chrissie, I am happy to be a reference for you!

Melody was our day of planner and made my daughter's wedding day stress free. Since my daughter is in Florida, I met Melody for the first time only 3 weeks before the wedding. She was on time, professional, highly organized and had useful tips for the wedding day. She sent us a detailed timeline which was very helpful and contacted all the vendors the week of the wedding. On my daughter's wedding day, Melody did a great job: everything was set up for us, kept everybody on time and made it all look so easy! I would highly recommend Melody. Thanks Melody, Zoe and team from Paul and I but especially from Lucy and Lance for making their day so special.

Where to begin.... I can't possibly begin to thank Sarah, Melody, and the Historic events crew enough! Their hard work and assistance at our wedding made the day spectacular! Throughout the entire process from meeting, to picking colors, talking about rentals, chair covers, floral decor, you name it they were there every step of the way with insite and helpful suggestions. They were even flexible with stringent venue regulations. The staff was able to coordinate vendors, help with our rehearsal, and ensured that the wedding flowed smoothly without any hiccups. They were responsible for the overall setup of our entire ceremony and reception and it was beautiful! I woulnd't hesitate to reccommend them to anyone! THANKS GUYS, 5 STARS!

I highly recommend Melody Browning, she was technically our "day of planner"," but she helped with a lot of last minute decisions and plans from about a month before the wedding, and she gave me a great recommendation for my wedding gown search in Bridals by Elena. The day of the wedding was flawless, Melody executed all of the tiny details and I went through the day blissfully preparing myself never once worrying whether vendors, centerpieces, chairs, or people were where they needed to be. As the event progressed, she would check in with us and gently kept us on schedule. Everyone remarked how beautifully everything went and no matter what last minute issues arose, Melody always presented a calm, cool, professional and capable demeanor; which is invaluable. Any bride who wants to see their wedding day go from dream to reality and have a carefree time at their own wedding instead of worrying about all of the crazy details should inequivocally give Melody Browning a call!

Sarah did a wonderful job!! She was always available for questions or concerns pertaining to the wedding. She was able to recommend a vast array of vendors within my budget range and bent over backwards to make sure that my wedding day was exactly what I envisioned it to be!! Aaron & I couldn't have taken care of all the little details without Sarah!!

Wow, I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful Sarah made our wedding! We had 3 months to plan a wedding for 150 people, on a VERY tight buget, and I completely procrastinated all the way to the bitter end. If that weren't enough of a hassle, I wanted a completely red and black wedding (even my dress was black!) so nothing white was allowed. This was a first for Sarah I think, the anti-white wedding and tattooed bride wearing black, but you'd never know it.

People told me it would look too dark and I wouldn't like it. But I had a vision in my head and I wasn't backing down from it. I'm the lead singer of a pretty hardcore rock band, and I pride myself on being a bit on the wacky side, loving all things that make most other people gasp in horror at my non-conformity, but I wanted it to be gothic, but not halloweenish or morbid, just Beauty with an edge (Like me!) and boy did Sarah make it a reality! No, she made it more stunning than I even could have imagined.

I didn't have a care in the world once she took over the planning, as soon as something popped up that threatened to cause me a bit of stress Sarah was right there to fix it with a smile. Nothing seemed to phase her! She went above and beyond for us, as I'm sure she does for all her clients. She really just seems to love what she does and it shows in a big way. She made sure I was thrilled with everything, and I so was. People are STILL talking about how unbelievable the wedding was, Stunning and unique. Black tablecloths adorned with black magic roses in a glass vase that was filled with this red glowing gel. Candles everywhere and instead of rose petals (boring!), she scattered Red pearl guitar pics at each table. It was Exactly what I wanted!

I'm sorry, I'm babbling but I'm thrilled to be able to leave this review for Sarah and Historic Events. If you want everything you've envisioned on your day (and more) she's your girl :o) THANKS SARAH!!!! WE LOVE YOU!!

Words cannot describe the appreciation and gratitude I have for Historic Events Wedding & Event Planning. I cannot thank Sarah Campbell and her team enough for all of the hard work and dedication they provided to make our wedding day so perfect. I initially found out about Historic Events from a wedding workshop that Sarah hosted at Kent Manor Inn in Stevensville, Maryland, our wedding ceremony and reception location. During this workshop, Sarah’s impressive presentation offered so many great ideas on how to make our wedding day even more memorable. After attending this workshop, I immediately knew that I wanted her to help coordinate our wedding. I felt very comfortable and relaxed knowing that she was watching over every little detail and ensuring that the vendors were following through with their services properly. Sarah has a real eye for design and element. She introduced me to many of our vendors during the planning process. Her professionalism, quick responsiveness, and flexibility took a lot of stress out of the wedding planning process. Sarah’s enthusiasm and awesome personality is contagious. She made it fun and exciting!! Sarah Campbell, from Historic Events Wedding & Event Planning, went above and beyond the call of duty to make our wedding a huge success!! Our guests are still raving about how beautiful everything was and how smoothly everything ran!! The ceremony and reception decor were just breathtaking!! Jason and I will cherish our wedding day forever and always remember the extraordinary job that Sarah and her team did to make it all happen!! It was truly a dream come true!! I would highly recommend Historic Events Wedding & Event Planning to anyone who is planning a wedding or other large affair!!

Historic Events was my Day of Coordinator. It was such a relief to be able to focus on just being happy that it was my wedding day and not have to worry if details were being taken care of or dealing with vendor issues. Historic Events put me at ease by knowing my wedding down to the detail, so I was confident that they could handle any possible incident and the outcome would match my vision for the day. On the day of my wedding, everything was choreographed beautifully and the flow of the ceremony and various traditions at the reception was completely smooth.

After seeing how harried and upset my friends were on their wedding days having to deal with little things, I would never recommend anyone go without a Day of Coordinator. And, given my experience, I recommend that Day of Coordinator (or planner) be Historic Events.

Sarah and her team did a wonderful job coordinating my wedding and helped to identify and refine many details of the event. She kept the event running smoothly and made sure that I got the highest quality vendors and that I stayed on budget. MY wedding was perfect-and I would highly recoomend Sarah and her staff to anyone planning a wedding.

Sarah was wonderful. She did our day of coordination and was on top of everything. She knew what was going on before the venue staff! She as great! If I were to get married again I would most certainly hire her. She came all the way to North Carolina just to do it.
