Andrew Roby Is A Must Hire!

Working with Andrew Roby and Andrew Roby Events to plan our wedding was nothing short of extraordinary. From the very first conversation, it was clear that Andrew wasn’t just a planner, he’s a visionary, a storyteller, and a deeply thoughtful collaborator. He took the time to understand who Donald and I are as individuals and as a couple, and he transformed that understanding into an experience that exceeded anything we could have dreamed.

What stood out most was Andrew’s intentionality. Every detail, no matter how small, had meaning. Every decision was made with purpose. He anticipated needs we didn’t even know we had and guided us with a perfect balance of expertise, creativity, and calm reassurance. His communication was seamless: clear, consistent, and always grounded in care. We never once felt lost or overwhelmed because Andrew held every piece with such confidence and clarity.

And then came the execution. Our wedding was breathtaking. Truly breathtaking.

From the moment we walked into the venue, we were stunned. The floral arrangements were lush and elegant, the candles created the most romantic glow, and the décor felt like stepping into a world crafted entirely for us. Every transition, every room, every element was orchestrated with precision and artistry. Friends and family are still talking about how beautiful and seamless everything felt; and that is 100% because of Andrew.

He didn’t just plan our wedding. He brought our love story to life. He honored our vision and elevated it. He created a space where we felt celebrated, seen, and completely held. What Andrew delivered wasn’t simply an event — it was an experience, a memory we will carry for the rest of our lives.

If you want a planner who is thoughtful, communicative, imaginative, meticulous, and genuinely invested in your joy, there is no one like Andrew Roby. We are endlessly grateful for him and for the magic he created on our wedding day.

Andrew Roby Events made our day special and stress-free

Long before our wedding, I knew I wanted to call Andrew to help us plan and execute our big day. We’ve been friends for years, and I’ve always admired his work from afar. When it came time to plan our own wedding, we knew we were in good hands.

From the start, Andrew came prepared with a detailed list of everything we needed to do, even when we weren’t quite ready for it all. As first-time planners, we didn’t fully realize how many pieces go into pulling off a wedding, but Andrew guided us through everything step by step. He kept us organized, on track, and focused on the timeline, especially since we came to him later in the process.

I personally have the memory of a goldfish and tend to forget things right after hearing them, but Andrew was on top of every detail. He was patient, proactive, and always one step ahead to make sure nothing slipped through the cracks.

We were especially grateful for the day-of coordination. Everything ran smoothly, and any changes or adjustments were handled behind the scenes. If anything shifted, we either never noticed or it ended up making the day even better. Andrew helped us manage our nerves and minimized any stress. He solved problems quickly and quietly, which helped us stay present and enjoy every moment.

Our wedding wasn’t a traditional ballroom event. It took place at our home and had a lot of moving parts. Even so, Andrew made sure vendors were where they needed to be, timelines stayed intact, and we never had to step in or fix anything ourselves.

We’re so thankful to Andrew and his team for helping us bring our day to life. It was everything we hoped for, and we could not have done it without them.

Dream Wedding from a Dream Planner

Over a month has passed since our wedding- yet Kevin and I are still stumbling, trying to find the words to express our gratitude to Andrew and his team for giving us the best day of our lives.

Before Andrew, we were wracked with anxiety. There was so much that we didn't know, and yet there was so much that had to be done. Immediately. And while we knew that we needed help, we did not know where to turn.

So as one does, we picked up our phones and looked towards Google.

Andrew Roby Events ("ARE") was at the top of the list for event planning services. After scrolling through ARE's website, reading articles about Andrew's background, watching his inspiring videos and - most importantly, looking at photographs of his work, I just knew that he wouldn't be available or would be out of our price range. After all, it was clear that he was a giant in the industry. There was just no way! But I crossed my fingers and sent an inquiry anyway. I was gobsmacked to receive a positive response and to hear of his willingness to scheduled an exploratory Zoom call with us to discuss our needs and wants.

Things changed after our first meeting with Andrew. My fiancé and I had been lost in a thicket, but Andrew took our hands and led us to our destination. Not only were we granted complete access to a wedding database (that helped us track deadlines, our budget, and guest list), but to Andrew himself. He coached us and helped us to formulate our vision for the wedding. We told him our dream, and he not only designed, orchestrated and executed every detail - he exceeded every element our fantasy.

I've included pictures that not only showcase the beauty that Andrew created, but that also show the love that he gave us through his work. Kevin and I will forever be grateful to Andrew. What he did for us, our family, and our friends can never be repaid. He is, by far, the best.

Outstanding Wedding Planner & Wedding Designer

Andrew and team are superb (to say the least)! We started planning our nuptials in DC but quickly found out moving it would give us more bang for our buck. Without missing a beat, Andrew planned the wedding of our dreams in Arkansas. Being their first wedding in the state, they were able to source exceptional vendors from decor to catering to hair and make-up. Wedding day is when the team shined brightness. Everything ran smoothly, vendor timeline was sent out weeks in advance, all payments had been settled, guests knew where to go, they ordered food for the bridal party for hair and make-up, and all we had to do was show up. As a bride, the comfort of being stress free weeks before the wedding because your wedding planner took care of everything was worth every cent. I have yet to hear anything negative about the day from all involved and guests were so impressed with Andrew. Even after the wedding, Andrew made sure we met all contractual agreements, equipment was returned and we didn't even have to think about it. He endured the videographer sent our teaser within 7 days, and we got it 6 days later.

Oh, and I failed to mention (shame on me), that Andrew is also a wedding designer. I was never one to dream of getting married nor did I have a Pinterest board he could follow. Andrew asked us a series of questions and for general ideas of what we liked. From there is curated a wedding design and experience that was perfect - even down to a wedding scent.

If you're looking for someone to plan your wedding or next event, stop scrolling! This is the person you need to hire.

We can't thank you enough Andrew and team. We will be using you again!!

PS: will add professional photos once they're received

Small ceremony of my dreams

In June I did a microwedding with Andrew Roby events at Tudor Place Gardens. It was a magical place and Andrew's crew of vendors made the day so easy and gorgeous. I will forever dream about my wedding flowers (thanks @VioletGardens) and have the most gorgeous photos to prove it! I was astounded about how on top of the planning Andrew and his team are. My husband and I basically just had to show up and enjoy!

Wedding Coordination Win!

Finding Andrew Roby Events was a wedding saver for my husband and I. In just over a month, Andrew took us from having literally nothing planned to having a beautiful, intimate wedding. Andrew was prompt and professional - he helped us select and connect to talented vendors that swiftly and tastefully brought a previously non-existent vision to life. From invitations to reception, everything was taken care of! Wedding planning is notoriously stressful, but Andrew's expertise kept the process moving smoothly. Our day was genuinely relaxed and joyful! Andrew was hands on the day of the wedding, coordinating vendors, decor details and event timing with patience and skill - even helping me manage my bouquet and train of my dress. We loved our wedding - we've already re-watched our wedding video and shared it with friends and family in over a dozen countries. We are so grateful to Andrew Roby Events for everything he did to help us have such a wonderful day!

Andrew is an absolute pro!

Andrew is an absolute pro! His Micro Wedding package saved our wedding and my sanity. After spending a year planning a destination wedding, postponing twice, then cancelling, I was emotionally exhausted. A Google search for “elopement in DC” brought me to his Micro Wedding page. He thought of everything! All I had to do was make a few basic choices and he took care of the rest. Andrew and his team of vendors are amazing: professional, responsive, compassionate, and so, so patient.

Andrews is the BEST!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Andrew! I called Andrew with a 7 day notice that we decided to have a microwedding and asked if he could help us out. Not only did he find our officiant, videographer, florist in less than 24 hours... he also took care of all of the logistics the day of the wedding. From the music, to holding my flowers & dress, to organizing the group photos - he was a lifesaver. The day was perfect and Andrew was a BIG part in making it that way!

Perfect Intimate Wedding

Hi Andrew!

I am still on a high from Sunday but didn’t want too much time to pass without reaching out to tell you THANK YOU! We had an amazing day Sunday-our intimate ceremony was perfect! Everything was beautiful, the venue, decor, the vibe-simply beautiful. We had so much fun within that hour it felt as if we had a larger wedding- it didn’t feel like a micro wedding.

Thank you for creating an amazing vendor team and for a wonderful job and experience Sunday. All of your vendors provided excellent service and were very responsive and knowledgeable to any questions I had. They were professional, kind, and patient with us throughout the entire process.
