Best wedding coordinator in VA

There are no words to describe what an amazing wedding coordinator Brenda is. She was on top of everything and made the whole process less stressful for me. She was super helpful in everything and willing to go the extra mile to make sure we had a special day. Her flexibility for the set backs was amazing to me. Her and her team are the best, no doubt! Definetly THE best wedding coordinator in VA

The best coordinating team ever❤️

Where do I even start!!?? From the very first phone call we had with Brenda we knew she was the coordinator we wanted to go with she was beyond helpful, enthusiastic, and you could tell just by talking over the phone she has a true passion for what she does. She listed in detail her services and even offered to let us use some of her decor/things she already has so we didn’t have to spend the extra money if we didn’t want to.

Fast forward to a month before our wedding….Brenda stepped in and helped us feel so much more organized and less stressed. She curated the most perfect timeline and always made sure we felt comfortable with everything ensuring us that this was OUR DAY and we could pretty much do anything we wanted when it came down to how we wanted the day to look and go.

Meeting Brenda and Ali for the first time in person to do our venue walk through was amazing. They’re so thorough and truly want to take the stress off the couple and do everything they can to make sure your day is exactly how you want it. Our wedding was perfect because of all of their efforts to deliver exactly what we envisioned. On our wedding day it rained all day long but they didn’t bat an eye. They were so positive and uplifting throughout the whole day and everything turned out better than we could’ve ever imagined and mind you we didn’t stress about a single thing because we them both. They even went out of their way to get a tint for some of our wedding decor so it could be as close to what we wanted as possible given the rain situation.

Prior to wedding planning I had never thought of getting a coordinator but truthfully it was the greatest decision we made through the planing process. I highly recommend Brenda and her wonderful team if you want your day to run smoothly and have peace of mind on one of the biggest days of your life💗

Overall we love Brenda and her team and not only were they our coordinators but they felt like our family and were so grateful our paths crossed with theirs!

Book them😁

The biggest thank you!!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Brenda and Ali! From start to finish, she did an absolutely incredible job bringing our vision to life. Every single detail of our day was thoughtfully executed, down to the smallest touches, and everything came together even more beautifully than I could have imagined.

Throughout the entire planning process, her communication was wonderful. She was helpful, attentive, and supportive every step of the way, making the planning process feel so much more manageable. Whether it was helping us navigate decisions, coordinate details, or ensure everything was coming together as planned, she was there to help guide us through it all. Having someone so dedicated and communicative in our corner made such a difference in the months leading up to our wedding.

On the actual wedding day, everything ran so smoothly because of her organization, attention to detail, and incredible oversight. She made sure everything was taken care of behind the scenes, allowing us to truly be present, enjoy every moment, and soak in the most special day of our lives without worrying about a single thing.

What stood out to me most was how she took the vision I had in my mind and turned it into reality. Nothing was overlooked, and every little detail mattered. It was so clear how much thought, care, and dedication she put into making our day everything we dreamed it would be.

Choosing her was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. If you are looking for a wedding planner who is organized, detail-oriented, communicative, and genuinely invested in bringing your vision to life, I cannot recommend her enough. We will forever be grateful for the role she played in making our wedding day so seamless, beautiful, and unforgettable!

Best day ever!

Brenda, Ali and the team were incredible to work with! Every detail was planned and executed with so much attention to detail and thoughtfulness! When the weather didn’t go 100% our way, Ali handled pivoting flawlessly. The night was everything I could have ever hoped for, and it was able to come to life because of Brenda and her team!

Made our day Stressfre

Brenda is amazing at everything she does. Brenda truly cares and is willing to go the extra mile just to make your day special. Brenda took care of everything and when any thought of an issue arose it was handled with no worry to us. We could not recommend Brenda enough to be used as a wedding coordinator.

Beyond Expectations!

We expected our big-day to be great, but Brenda made sure it was PERFECT for us. Her commitment and attention to detail throughout our wedding journey was unmatched. We hired Brenda as a day-of-coordinator, but she goes far and beyond that with her services. She kept us on track for all of our planning, did an amazing job coordinating with our other vendors, and made sure everything was smooth up front as well as behind the scenes. She caught on that my bride was more stressed than I was, and ran most of the questions through me to take that off of her shoulders. In a moment of panic for myself (3 y/o ring bearer fell and got dirty), we went straight to Brenda, and her and her crew helped me keep my cool WITH EASE. Our day was absolutely perfect and more than we could have imagined with their help. We can't thank her enough for all that she did, and will look for any excuse to use her services again!

Working with Brenda as a Vendor

Working with Brenda as a vendor was truly wonderful. She was incredibly organized, thoughtful in every detail, and always one step ahead which made the entire day feel smooth and stress free for everyone involved. Her communication was clear, her presence was calm, and she handled every moment with such grace. Collaborating with someone who cares so deeply about her couples and their experience makes all the difference, and Brenda brought that energy from start to finish. I would be happy to work with her again anytime.

Amazing Wedding Planning-Start to Finish!

Brenda & her team were the smartest investment we could have ever made for our wedding day! She was so responsive and helpful through all of the planning. My fiancé teases that she dealt with our “crazy” flawlessly 🤣 She made my vision come to life and I am so thankful. We were very unique in our timeline and had an extremely LONG wedding day and she still made it happen. I would 100% recommend her, the value in her work is so worth it!!

WOW! Where to even begin with Brenda and her team! Brenda is the kind of person you want at your wedding when one of those "OH MY GOD WE FORGOT THE...." or the "I DONT KNOW WHERE... IS" Brenda (and her staffs) professionalism is incredible! She was in what it seems five places at one time! One second she was briefing the photographers, while assisting the florist, while repairing the cake, while tracking down wedding party. She’s the kind of person you'd see in a movie directing a MAJOR Hollywood Wedding making sure everything was done to perfection. Brenda is the kind of honest American who when hired is looking out for YOUR best interest. She knows the in’s and out’s of the industry to know when vendors are trying to take advantage of you, and makes sure she gets you the best while maintaining your budget and goal in mind! Organization is one of the keys to a successful wedding. Multiple weeks out she was in touch with me going over details that only I thought were important. We went over the timeline on multiple occasions. She assisted on helping us design a custom light scene for their wedding. She ask questions no other wedding vendors have asked, it shows she is a true professional and is beyond dedicated to her clients. If your thinking about hiring ANYONE for helping you create and execute a true dream wedding, I would put our reputation on the line to say "Creations by Brenda" is the company you need to go with.

Vanessa & Angel's Wedding - 10/23/2010 This past weekend our Wedding Photo Booth sent us to the Farmington Fire Hall in Egg Harbor, NJ for the Wedding of Vanessa & Angel. Although the phrase Fire Hall doesn’t speak the words “Elegant” and “Beautiful” that one would associate with a Wedding atmosphere, the Farmington Fire Hall (also kno...wn as the Charles A. Maxwell Banquet Hall) was dare I say ….”Exquisite”.

This was mostly due to the efforts of the Wedding Planner Brenda Lambert Rivera (aka Creations By Brenda) who created an incredible Fall Theme under the moniker “Fall … In Love”………brown table cloth, tan chairs, orange flower centerpieces, with orange and brown leaves as center pieces. The room had supplied dim lighting and candlelight to set the mood.

We didn’t have a chance to get fed being how popular the photobooth was, but we were offered, and Brenda checked up on us and got us drinks which she didn’t have to being that a Wedding Planner is usually the busiest person at a Wedding
