I cannot recommend Chancey Charm and our wedding planning team enough. Over the course of our multi-year engagement, we worked with Mart-Mari Walker and Atoosa Rezai to plan the wedding of our dreams. We had a multicultural, multi-religious ceremony and family coming from multiple continents. We booked accommodations and transport for much of our guest list. We also wanted to host a week of celebrations including an Indian haldi ceremony, and to break our wedding guest list (~100 people) into smaller parties for intimate welcome events ranging from dinners to a boat party. All this to say, this was a HUGE planning undertaking with so many factors! Mari and Atoosa because so close to us in this time and demonstrated exceptional communication, care, and attention to detail. They provided incredible suggestions for our events, including some of the most jaw-droppingly beautiful locations we or our guests have ever seen, and were incredibly available to us with all of our questions and making sure we kept on our timeline. They handled all the vendor relationships with diligence to detail and let us enjoy the more fun and creative aspects of planning a wedding. If you want a wedding team that really feels more like family at the end of the experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Chancey Charm and Mart-Mari/Atoosa! Our wedding could not have been better and we owe everything to our team.

I absolutely can't imagine orchestrating my wedding without the help of my Chancey Charm planner, Mari. After all the logistics and coordination she handled, I would have paid her double in hindsight. She absorbed all the stress so that my wedding day could be the best day of my life. Truly.

We worked with Alyssa Glorioso to plan and manage our 2/26/2022 wedding at the Ritz Carlton in Georgetown (Washington DC). In short, she was nothing short of AMAZING the whole way through, but especially the night of, when she and her team truly shined to give us the most wonderfully non-stressful, logistically smooth wedding we thought possible. When you're first planning a wedding and hiring vendors, every quote can give you extreme sticker shock, and hiring a planner was no exception. But Alyssa and Chancey Charm were worth every penny (and more).

Now for the details: We hired Alyssa primarily because of her cool, calm, kind demeaner. We just liked her immediately, and felt like we wanted that energy around on our wedding day. We booked the "month of" package with a couple of additional planning sessions added on. Because of those additional sessions she was involved at various points throughout the process starting about a year out, and then really took over about eight weeks before the wedding. Throughout the whole process, she was so organized and helpful without being overbearing. For example, she gave us some really amazing vendor recommendations, and gave us little tasks and forms etc. to fill out to help us stay on top of things, without making it feel like "work." We had access to a wedding planning software tool that was super helpful for tracking the guest list and addresses, making the seating chart and updating vendor information and keeping track of our vendor payment schedule. She was also incredibly kind when helping me navigate some family and COVID-related stress.

The eight or so weeks leading up to the wedding, she completely took over communication with my venue and vendors and handled every logistical detail. We did not have to worry about any of the minute (parking, vendor meals, telling vendors where to go and what time to be there, etc.) which took so much off our plate. She created the perfect wedding day timeline, taking our preferences into account while also making sure we had enough time for everything. The wedding day itself was incredible and went extremely smoothly - if there were any issues, I never found out about them. I had either Alyssa or one of her assistants with me basically the whole day, while she/other assistants dealt with the groom and groomsmen and vendors and set up. There was always someone around to get me a bottle of water, a glass of champagne, sticky tape for my dress, flat shoes, you name it. They were there to help us with anything we needed (again not in an overbearing way) and somehow managed to keep a million balls in the air at the same time. Alyssa and her team truly made our wedding everything we had hoped for and more, and we can't recommend them enough!
