It takes a team to make a dream
From the start A&J were there for us--from helping us find vendors, reviewing contracts, weaving in personal touches, keeping us sane, and creating space for us to truly enjoy our day. I could not imaging having the day of my dreams without the dedicated support that A&J provided. I know the team has a lot on their plates, but with them I felt like the only bride. Adrian was so sweet and helped me through the whole planning process, and day of was a champion for my partner and me. She made sure everyone was in lock steps (our team of vendors and of course our family and friends) and ensured that our day surpassed all expectations. I truly could not image our day without A&J and we are forever grateful for them in helping us make our day (and all the planning leading up to it) such an amazing, unforgettable experience. I would recommend this team to anyone and everyone.

Highly recommend!
We cannot say enough good things about A&J! Jena worked with us for month-of-coordination, and she made everything a million times easier. From high level planning our schedule for the day, all the way to catching tiny details in our contracts with other vendors, she went above and beyond to make sure everything was planned to make our day perfect. On the day itself, she kept everything moving smoothly and on time, made sure decor was perfectly arranged, and even packed up everything from the bridal suite and loaded it into our transportation at the end of the night. Anything we needed, she was 5 steps ahead.
We highly recommend A&J to any other couple!

100% recommend A&J for wedding planning!
We could not have been happier with A&J for helping us with partial planing for our wedding! From the first email to the end of our event, Jena and Danielle were quick to communicate, very professional, and extremely helpful in providing their expertise. They did an amazing job of contacting vendors with questions we would have never thought of, keeping us on track with planning to have the least amount of stress the couple weeks leading up to the wedding, and even brought a huge day-of emergency kit with anything we would have needed. They made sure to communicate only with our maid of honor and best man on wedding day to allow us to enjoy our day- stress and decision free. We are so thankful for A&J and could not have had such an incredible day without them!

A&J Event Planning was worth every penny! Jenna helped us along every step of the way of planning our wedding reception. She had such a great attention to detail in the planning, and even more so in the execution. The reception went so well, and more than anything we had no worries once the big day came. We highly recommend their services so you can sit back and truly enjoy your wedding!!

My wife and I got married September 2024 at Wintergreen Resort. We had another day of coordinator we were working with leading up to our wedding. Unfortunately our original coordinator had to end their contract with us for personal reasons and my wife and I had to find a new day of coordinator less then 3 months from our wedding data. In came A&J Event Planning. We worked with Jena and she immediately jumped in and brought our plan up to speed. We could tell right away with the speed and attention to detail that we were going to be just fine on our wedding day. This was also A&J Event Plannings first wedding at Wintergreen resort. That did not stop them from quickly scheduling a meeting with the wedding director at the resort, getting a full walk through and coming prepared with all their questions to understand how Wintergreen operated. Our wedding day went perfectly! It was all thanks to Jena directing the day and making it so stress free for us. We could not recommended A&j Event Planning enough for your wedding. You will not be disappointed.

The Wedding of our Dreams
We could not have had the wedding of our dreams, without A&J Event Planning and Coordination. I wanted a day of coordinator to allow our friends and family to enjoy the day without having to worry about all of the set up, clean up, and any issues that come up on the wedding day. We had a few issues related to other vendors and A&J ensured that the day was absolutely perfect and that everyone could enjoy the day without any stress or worry. They were supportive and made sure that everything important to us on our wedding day happened, and helped to troubleshoot any issues that arose on the day and the months leading up to the big day. I would 100% recommend their team to help create your dream wedding and have your vision come to life. We cannot thank them enough!

Could not have done this without them!!!
There is no possible way I can speak highly enough of the A&J team! We mostly worked with Jena throughout the planning process and she was absolutely beyond amazing! She helped keep me on track with planning by guiding me on what tasks needed to be done while also offering to take over some tasks when I was overwhelmed. She scheduled meetings when we needed to touch base on things but also always responded to my frantic emails with tons of questions! The week of the wedding, Jena took over all communication with our vendors so that she could ensure everything was set while I could relax and enjoy the time. On our wedding day, the whole team was so professional while also keeping things fun and so supportive. When something went wrong with a dessert machine, Jena immediately stepped in to handle it and told my husband and I to just get back on the dance floor! I cannot imagine doing this process without A&J and I am SO thankful we had them on our team. You guys are truly amazing and are the reason why our wedding was the best day of our lives!! Thank you A&J!

Cannot recommend more highly!
Working with Jena was the best investment we made when planning our wedding. She was incredibly helpful from our first consultation and provided us with every resource we needed to plan the perfect day. She and her team are detail oriented, professional, experienced, and incredibly kind. They thought of all the minor details that never would have occurred to us in the planning process. Their help allowed us to enjoy our wedding day stress free! We recommend them to anyone looking for a planner in Central Virginia!

Outstanding in every way!
A&J Event planning and Coordination truly made my daughter's wedding day a dream come true. They were organized, professional, kind, and friendly. Planning the wedding with them was so easy, because they thought of every little detail. They took care of setting up everything the day of the wedding all while keeping us on schedule, managing the vendors and helping with little details like steaming the wedding dress. Because of their attention to detail we were able to have a relaxing day getting ready and then enjoy the reception without a worry in the world. We will be forever grateful!

Perfection!
Because we had decided to push our wedding back an additional 6 months, we worked with A&J for almost 2 years! Throughout the entire time, Adrian & Jena genuinely wanted to support us and were available to answer any questions and make us feel comfortable about any concerns. They truly helped us bring our vision to life to create one of the most memorable days. We couldn't have asked for anything better! Thank you A&J!!!
