Chelsea Sent on 07/30/2017Wedding 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! -

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. -

Morgan L. Sent on 06/03/2023Best wedding planner!! Leslie is amazing
Leslie from Wedding Savvy was the best wedding coordinator we could have ever asked for. We first met her two months out from our wedding and she helped us work through timelines and create our vision for our May wedding. She was the most organized, professional, and communicative planner and helped the planning process go so seamlessly. She, along with her assistant Sydney, kept our wedding day running so smoothly, keeping us on schedule and handling anything and everything in such a professional way so we could enjoy our day. So many of our guests gave us compliments about her saying how great she was! She truly made the day so special and we are forever grateful.

Hire Wedding Savvy for your best wedding ever! Your day will be outstanding!!
I was an out-of-town bride and needed someone local to give expert advice, handle planning, and provide day-of management. I interviewed several planers, but from the moment I contacted Wedding Savvy, I knew they were the ONE!
I worked with Leslie, and her responsiveness, professionalism, and knowledge are beyond superb and spot-on. She got back to me immediately when I had questions, provided excellent guidance, and was proactive on all details. In addition, Leslie's knowledge of the Annapolis area, wedding venues, and vendors is exceptional. She got to know me, and she know exactly what I wanted, and made that happen. She is expert in her field! She is also kind, caring, and supportive--a truly wonderful person!
Our wedding was held at the Naval Chapel and the Naval Academy Club. Wedding Savvy new all the policies, procedures and protocol of the Academy, which made our day smooth and seamless for both my guests and the wedding party. Leslie's contacts and knowledge of the USNA was a huge stress relief for me.
Leslie and Wedding Savvy were with me every step of the way. Book Wedding Savvy now and have confidence that your wedding will be everything you dreamed of and more! -

Perfect coordinator service for our wedding!
We highly recommend working with Leslie! Our wedding felt like a dream, and being able to hand the reins over to Leslie (and feel confident doing so!) was a big part of it. We are really glad we were able to work with her and are very appreciative of all her help making our day run smoothly. Her help keeping us on track even let us eat dinner (!!), and her help managing our friends and family ensured everyone had a great night. She also helped set up our diy flowers, making that project possible! Multiple people commented to us "your coordinator seems to be amazing!" and we have to agree. -

Jasmine T. Sent on 06/04/2021Incredible Experience- including two postponements!
Words aren't enough to describe how pleased I am with Wedding Savvy but I will try! I purchased their 2 month and day of package. From my initial meeting with Leslie Jefferson to my many meetings and email exchanges with Gina Ingel, my husband and I felt cared for. We unfortunately had to postpone twice due to COVID-19, but 3rd date was the charm! Every little detail was appreciated from listening to us vent about options regarding postponing, the organized day of timelines for bridal party and vendors, help with a tricky vendor, last minute run to the store for umbrellas, helping me with shoe & outfit change, making sure our party bus had what we needed, cute decoration of our honeymoon suite and more! -

Rachel Sent on 09/19/2014Raquel helped me plan a 300 person wedding on a blank venue. She always made sure that i felt comfortable throughout the entire process and for that reason i found myself relying on her for support during a very stressful time. Without her, I probably would have gone crazy trying to plan and coordinate with all of the vendors while commuting to DC everyday for work.
Her vendor recommendations were great. We used Kens Kitchen for the food (Ken actually recommended Raquel to me and that is how i found her), Loan Brothers for the tents/floors (we used a mix of different tents but my favorite was the glass roof with chandeliers..it was stunning!), Silver Stems for the flowers (they were wonderful but i do wish they would have followed my directions when i asked NOT to use berries. luckily, they were so beautiful that it didn't matter. The baby's breath alter turned out to be a great addition!), XOXO vintage for some fun decorations (the furniture decor turned out beautiful...the lounges were awesome!) The vendor who stood out the most to me was the photographer that Raquel recommended. Her name is Amy Deputy and she is truly an angel...the bridal party loved her and she left a great impression with EVERYONE.
I trust Raquel & Wedding Savvy to follow through with whatever they promise. The Wedding Savvy Staff always responded to me almost immediately and i always felt comfortable asking for their help. Originally, my wedding was going to be 150 people so Raquel did a great job adjusting numbers and making things happen. Wedding Savvy did a great job from the beginning to the end and i feel 100% recommending them to anyone who wants to have a great wedding! I may even miss seeing Raquel now that the wedding is over! ;) -

Scott R. Sent on 10/04/2020Mother of the bride planning wedding during covid
Like many other couples during these Covid-19 times, my daughter and her fiancé had to cancel their planned venue for an intimate, family-only wedding in my backyard. We reached out to Wedding Savvy to help plan the space and coordinate vendors for a tent, seating, and flowers. Although we only needed a few hours of consultation, Leslie treated us as if we were full-service clients, giving us her full attention and making sure that the vendors delivered. Everything came together seamlessly, and the result was absolutely beautiful. -

Some people really rise to the occasion and Leslie Jefferson is the epitome of that! When I worked with her for our venue's first large COVID wedding of the year, Leslie really took all of her wonderful talents, skill, and savvy to the next level. She was so easy to work with - a true joy! -

Alli K. Sent on 07/07/2020Planned a wedding during COVID--19 and Wedding Savvy pulled it off!
Wedding Savvy was wonderful. I planned a wedding during COVID-19 thus all of my details were changing on a regular basis. Leslie made sure we were organized throughout the process. The best part was on the day of the wedding. We had a small intimate wedding and Leslie treated it as if it were just as important as any other large wedding. She took care of all of the stressful details while I sat back, relaxed and enjoyed the day. I definitely would recommend Wedding Savvy.Wedding Savvy, Inc.'s reply:
Alli, thank you so much for your review! It was a true pleasure to work with you and your family during the ever changing planning process! I am glad you had an amazing wedding day!
Sincerely,
Leslie and the Wedding Savvy Team -

Raquel and her team provided stellar service. Raquel knows what she is doing and provides a service that is so necessary in the wedding process. She kept us organized, on schedule, handled all vendors and last minute issues with the ultimate professionalism. Truly money well spent! When she says "Just let me handle it and go have fun", she means it! She delivers! Her team was there on the day of the wedding as promised and the day was absolute perfection. It was a beautiful day and a wonderful memory thanks to the Wedding Savy team!Wedding Savvy, Inc.'s reply:
Thank you so much, Becca! We so enjoyed being a part of your and Cassin's day and seeing your amazing smiles all night! I am so happy you were able to enjoy the night as "Bride & Groom" and know you will have SO MANY fun memories of a great weekend :)

Meghan V. Sent on 09/18/2019An Awesome Experience!
Note: This a review for Wedding Savvy's hourly services, so we paid an hourly rate for seven hours of day-of coordination.
The owner, Raquel, was extremely responsive, professional, and warm from the very start, and worked with us to adapt their services to fit our budget for our 60-guest backyard wedding. Our day-of coordinator Stephanie was absolutely fantastic and I'm so, so glad we chose to have the help on our big day. We had two phone calls prior to the wedding (an introductory one a few weeks before, the second a more thorough call a few days before) which were a big help in smoothing out the logistics and reassuring me that we were in good hands. While I only saw her briefly in the lead-up to the ceremony, Stephanie and her assistant Margaret were great, checking in on me a few times and otherwise dedicating themselves completely to getting everything ready in time. Everyone who interacted with them said they were amazed at how professional and efficient they were! Before I knew it, Stephanie was happily telling me "Okay, go get married!" and I was off walking with my dad down the aisle.
The rest of the night went beautifully. Everything I wrote down in the forms and everything we discussed on the phone (table placement, centerpieces, etc.) was taken care of. In addition to the larger brush strokes, they shined with the little details too -- Stephanie was right there with us when we wanted to make some last minute changes (like forgoing a planned reintroduction so we could rejoin cocktail hour early -- she communicated this to the DJ without us having to do a thing) and Margaret was ready with our chosen cocktails right as Nick and I left the ceremony and headed to do group photos!
Working with Wedding Savvy was a lovely experience and really, truly helped ensure that we could enjoy the day without worrying about a thing. Everything passed by so quickly that it meant a lot to us to be able to spend it all laughing, dancing, eating, drinking, and reconnecting with our families. Thank you for everything!Wedding Savvy, Inc.'s reply:
Hi Meghan! We were so happy to be a part of your big day and that you were able to really enjoy it as a beautiful bride :) Thank you so much for choosing our team!

Lauren Sent on 06/11/2019Planning Perfection
Absolute wedding sanity life saver & master planning services. Raquel worked with me to work out logistical details, flagging possible hiccups early to solve BEFORE the wedding day. The value of this showed the week of my wedding where the reigns were officially handed over and I simply relaxed & enjoyed. Our day went off PERFECTLY, literally PERFECT and where I was worried about time, we had EXTRA. Raquel was AMAZING., working seamlessly with vendors & was SO thoughtful. Examples: Snagging my mom from cocktail hour to ensure the reception was set up to her liking. Having an AWESOME plate of food for my husband & I pre reception, complete with our signature cocktails. Getting my flip flops for me so I didn't need to leave the reception AND cleaning our decor out of the venue (including band green room) so we had absolutely nothing to worry about the next day. I can't imagine our wedding day, or planning for it without her! My VERY detail oriented Marine hubby was super impressed too. Don't think twice about booking Wedding Savvy!Wedding Savvy, Inc.'s reply:
Hi Lauren! Thank you so much for reviewing us - we so enjoyed working with you both and what an amazing party!!! That dance floor was on fire!! True testament to great people keep great company. Wishing you and Nick many years of happiness and fond memories of your fantastic day:) xxoo Raquel Shutt and the Wedding Savvy Team -

Karen Sent on 03/14/2019Phenomenal! Truly amazing to work with!
Raquel Shutt, owner of Wedding Savvy, is fabulous at what she does and I was honored to have her as my "month of/day of" coordinator! At first I was hesitant to hire a planner, but I knew on my big day I would need someone and thank goodness it was Raquel. I honestly don't know what I would have done without her! She went above and beyond my expectations, and Katie, her assistant, was truly amazing and so kind. My husband and I felt so comfortable with them and knew everything was in good hands and would be taken care of. I highly recommend their services to anyone planning their wedding!Wedding Savvy, Inc.'s reply:
Karen -- thank YOU! You were such a pleasure to work with and it sincerely was our pleasure to be a part of your magnificent day! All the details were well thought out and so reflective of you, Jake, & your families. What an awesome party it was!! You guys are ROCK STARS!!! and THANK YOU for the opportunity to serve you on such an important day and for taking the time to review us.

Sara S. Sent on 12/13/2018Wonderful Experience
Wedding Savvy was an absolutely indispensable part of our wedding planning experience. I went in to wedding planning so unaware of just how many logistics and details needed to be considered - especially given we were having a home wedding where nothing was pre-set or determined for us. Our wedding coordinator from Wedding Savvy was essential and made everything so much easier for us - Nia made sure every detail was accounted for, and I knew I could step back and let her manage everything so I could just enjoy the day. Cannot recommend Wedding Savvy enough!Wedding Savvy, Inc.'s reply:
Sara, it was such a pleasure to be a part of your and your family's day! What a special one it was - beautiful in literally EVERY way. Thank you for allowing our team to be a part of YOUR magic :) :)
