Thanks Betsy!

Betsy was wonderful with our wedding planning! She was fun, helpful, responsive, and thought of so many details we hadn't. She was very invested in our vision and those early meetings were essential to talking through all the moving parts. Having her help really made the planning process and the day of the wedding low stress. She was helpful and supportive with brainstorming and any changes we wanted. Her timeline was perfect and I knew we were in good hands for everything to come together smoothly. We could not have done this without her! Betsy is really sweet and experienced and it was all around a pleasure to work with her. She recommended some great vendors too that we loved working with. Her genuine excitement for our big day showed in all the work and details she put in. Thanks again for making our special day come together beautifully!

Best wedding planner ever!!

Ms. Betsy is such an amazing outstanding wedding planner! She went above and beyond for us and always kept everything together!! We couldn’t have asked for a better person to help us with our wedding planning. She truly cares about you and your dream and seeing it come to light!! If you need vendors she knows how to find them she has her list of her own vendors  she has worked and also will work with vendors of your choosing. She will always be apart of our family and we love her so much! If you need a wedding planner look no further Ms. Betsy is the perfect one!! Thank you again for everything we could not have done this with you!!!

A happy and low-stress day

Betsy handled everything with kindness, efficiency, and a personal touch. Our wedding was out-of-town, so we really needed planner local to the DC area. She helped us make plans, find vendors, manage the event, and just everything we could ask for. For us the wedding was just a happy day with no stress.

Highly Recommend!

Betsy is the best! She did a wonderful job helping us plan our micro-wedding. Betsy is very organized, setting up meetings to keep our planning on track and making sure we thought of all the details. She was such a friendly person to work with and very quick and responsive to all our questions, guiding us through the process. Betsy took care of everything the week of the wedding, including last minute weather adjustments, letting us enjoy a stress-free week. Our wedding day was everything we could have hoped for and more, and Betsy helped make that vision happen! We can’t recommend Betsy enough!!

Would recommend to other couples

Betsy was helpful during the wedding planning process. She was responsive when we had questions and proactively set up multiple calls and meetings to keep us on track. She recommended a full range of excellent vendors (caterer, photographer, DJ, hair/makeup, and florist.) She helped with many aspects of the wedding process, and we would recommend Betcom to other couples.

Best Wedding Planner You Could Ever Ask For!

I’m not usually the type who writes reviews, but Betsy Lanning, of Betcom Weddings & Events did such an amazing job with my son’s wedding, I feel compelled to write this! Every detail of the wedding was anticipated and executed with precision. Betsy thought of everything. And she listened to the bride & groom and their ideas. She made their visions come to life, and offered expertise & direction when they needed it…all the time keeping the budget in check. Her vendor recommendations were the best, and saved us money, too. She considered our budget and the couple’s vision for their big day, and wove it into such a beautiful event. No mishaps or unanticipated problems. All we had to do was show up and celebrate the joy!

I’ve learned that a great wedding planner more than pays for itself, by avoiding costly mistakes and having the right vendors in the first place. If you are looking for a competent, reasonably priced planner, I strongly recommend Betsy Lanning, of Betcom Weddings & Events!!

Wonderful!

Betsy was incredible! She was such a resource throughout our wedding planning from helping us find an amazing caterer to liaising and helping us organize the timing of our special day. She is also just a joy to work with and is so kind to her couples! We could not have had such an incredible wedding without all of her help! She loves what she does and it really shows!

Wedding was a beautiful forest experience out of a fairy tale

I can't recommend Betsy highly enough. The entire wedding planning process was mostly painless, in large part because Betsy helped to handle everything behind the scenes. From music to food to decorations, Betsy either knew off hand who to contact or quickly found people to suit our needs. It went off perfectly and I can't recommend her highly enough.

Hire Betsy if you want a perfect wedding

Betsy is the DREAM wedding planner! She has a killer vendor referral list, is highly organized, reliable, and so fun to be around. We worked with Betsy for 8 months leading up to our wedding and enjoyed every minute of it. We had no idea what we were doing and she guided us through every step, including helping us prioritize when things could have easily gotten overwhelming. She also knew our budget and helped us pick vendors and make decisions that kept costs manageable. In the days leading up to the wedding, we could rest easy knowing that things were in Betsy's extremely capable hands. Our wedding itself was absolutely perfect and every vendor Betsy recommended was a rock star who gave 110% on our big day. We cannot recommend Betsy enough. We only wish we'd found her sooner!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
