The perfect coordinator!

Andrea was such a dream to work with. There isn’t anyone else I would have been about to trust so fully with my big day! She was extremely responsive, understanding, engaged and caring when it came to all my needs. All of my vendors, friends and family loved her as well! She really went above and beyond to make sure that everything went according to plan and the day was absolutely perfect. I would HIGHLY recommend her!!

Forever thankful for the AFE Team!

We had an absolutely fantastic experience working with AFE! I began working with Andrea about three months before my wedding, and she dove right in to help coordinate the details leading up to the wedding day. Andrea was extremely detail-oriented, organized, and proactive. She was incredibly thoughtful in her approach, and offered balanced recommendations that reflected both her industry experience and her understanding of us as a couple and the vision we had for our day.

I also really appreciated Andrea’s ability to keep us on track throughout the planning process. Wedding planning overlapped with a busy season at work, and she was so skilled at helping me prioritize the right decisions at the right time while taking on the heavy lifting of researching options and coordinating with vendors. She made me feel so supported during what could have been an overwhelming time, and I knew that absolutely nothing would slip through the cracks!

Andrea is also incredibly knowledgeable about the Virginia wedding industry and understands the ins and outs of working with the many venues and vendors. The AFE team partnered closely with our vendors to develop a detailed timeline and ensure the day unfolded exactly as planned. I am so thankful for Andrea’s support, expertise, and partnership throughout the planning process, as well as the AFE Team’s flawless execution of the most beautiful and special day!

Truly the best!

Andrea was truly the best wedding coordinator we could have had for all wedding needs. She kept us on top of everything and was a great source of information for any questions we had. Made herself always available, and if not, she would let us know when she was. The professionalism and organization were top-tier. I would recommend Andrea to everyone who is planning a wedding or an event. One of the best in the business!

Complete Package

Andrea and her team were wonderful. I worked with Andrea to plan a full wedding weekend, inclusive of bridal luncheon, rehearsal dinner, welcome party, ceremony and reception at the Homestead in Hot Springs, VA. She was hands-on for the entire process, beginning in March of 2025 through to our wedding in May of 2026. We could not have done this without her assistance, guidance, and attention to detail. Andrea is a no-brainer and any couple would be lucky to work with her!

Highly Recommend!

Andrea knows everything there is to know when it comes to weddings. She puts you at ease by handling just about everything you could think of. She has good relations with vendors and is well organized. On the day of, her team helps facilitate a smooth day, allowing the bride and groom to simply enjoy the day. We wouldn’t have had it any other way! Would hire her 1000 times over. Very appreciative.

Thank you, Andrea!

Working with Andrea and her team was incredible. As a bride, I had few strong convictions on things and was a little less wedding-savvy going in. Andrea made a great partner in that she led me and my mom through all the decisions and trade-offs for different options while also keeping things moving and organized. Additionally, we used some vendors off of her vendor list who were also great. During the day, her team was also indispensible. My MOH broke her shoe. I texted Andrea and a member of her team appeared shortly with glue to fix it. This is just one example of many of how her team took on so much of our stress. Throughout the wedding weekend, people remarked on how calm I seemed. The source of that calmness was my knowledge and trust that Andrea had worked hard alongside us to get everything ready to this point and that during the day of the wedding she would be there to deal with any unforseen things and keep other vendors on track. All in all, choosing Andrea was the best choice we made.

Best Decision Ever

My daughter (bride) and I decided to use Andrea Ferris Events Wedding Day Management package and this was the best decision we made. Andrea was able to give us peace of mind as she tied all the details together. I honestly do not think we could have managed without her. We were able to fully enjoy the big day with no worries.

Far exceeded expectations!

Professionalism, perfection and present. These explain the services from Andrea and her team. The organization and execution of my daughter‘s wedding was absolutely flawless. Every aspect of the wedding went perfectly. Not one thing went wrong. I have never heard or been to a wedding when something, even minor, didn’t go wrong. But truly in our event, everything went exactly according to plan. The perfection was not a random event. It was the result of the excellent organization and planning and presence of Andrea and her staff during every step of the wedding. Andrea and her team are truly dedicated to making your special day a memorable success. I hate to set the bar this high, but Andrea Ferris Events is the pinnacle of wedding planning and execution!

The Perfect Day

We knew just who to go to when it came to choosing a wedding planner, and that was Andrea!! After seeing the wedding magic she created for my brother and sister-in-law's wedding, I knew we had to use her for ours. Andrea is everything you want and need in a wedding planner - she is knowledgeable, quick to respond and thinks of every small detail you would have forgotten about! She was so easy to work with and we shared many laughs together throughout the process. We got so many compliments the night of the wedding from family and friends saying how seamless and special the day was. We could not have gotten through this whole experience without her! Thank you Andrea!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
