Olivia was an incredible help organizing out wedding. We had a blast, and we couldn't have done it without her!

She made everything day of happen so smoothly. We were pretty stressed and were prepared to do a lot of the work ourselves (or bully our friends into it) but Oliva and her assistant Brandi just made it all happen.

We can't thank them enough for all their hard work!

I highly recommend DME as both a coordinator and a florist. They are extremely professional and punctual, and they consistently provide prompt responses along with kind, detailed guidance throughout my wedding journey.

We cannot recommend Dear My Event and Mellow Flower highly enough. Looking back on our wedding day, hiring them was easily the best investment we made. From our very first meeting, Olivia felt more like a supportive friend than a vendor. She took our vague, scattered ideas and turned them into a cohesive, breathtaking vision that was better than anything we could have imagined if we had planned the wedding ourselves. Throughout the planning process, her organization and eye for design were impeccable - timelines were managed, budgets were respected, and emails/texts were answered at lightning speed. But the real magic happened on the wedding day. Olivia was a calm, guiding force, ensuring that every vendor was on point and every detail was perfect. We were actually able to eat, dance, and be present with our families and friends because she had everything under control.

Also, we were absolutely blown away by the floral work Stella did for our wedding. We walked into the venue and literally gasped because the floral arrangements were even more beautiful than the inspiration photos we had shown her. Stella has an incredible talent for design, who took my vague ideas of basic color themes and turned them into a masterpiece. The bridal bouquet was perfection, and the centerpiece arrangements transformed the room entirely. Not only were the designs stunning, but the quality of the flowers was top-tier; everything looked fresh and vibrant all night long.

Overall, if you want a wedding that runs seamlessly, Dear My Event and Mellow Flower is the team you need. Thank you again, Olivia and Stella, for a wonderful experience and an unforgettable wedding.

We absolutely loved working with Olivia as our month-of wedding coordinator, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.
From our very first inquiry call, we immediately clicked—her warmth, professionalism, and deep knowledge of our venue made us feel confident from the start. Throughout the planning process, she was incredibly responsive, always ready to answer questions, offering helpful suggestions for the timeline, and vendor recommendations thanks to her experience.
When the month-of timeline kicked in, Olivia truly shined. She made sure we were fully prepared without ever feeling overwhelmed, handling vendor communication seamlessly and clearly outlining anything she needed from us to ensure everything ran smoothly. Her organization and attention to detail gave us such peace of mind.
During the rehearsal and on the wedding day itself, despite the usual chaos of coordinating families, wedding party members, and vendors, she remained calm and wonderfully supportive. She taught us how to dip for our ceremony, fixed our groomsmen’s boutonnieres, and thoughtfully helped arrange our décor in ways that made everything look even better than we imagined. What I also personally loved was how Olivia and her partner took extra Polaroid photos at our reception to fill the extra pages in our Polaroid guestbook!
Olivia played such an important role not just in the logistics, but in helping us truly enjoy the entire experience. We’re so grateful for her dedication, kindness, and skill—our day wouldn’t have been the same without her!

We went for the partial planning option as we already had picked out our venue/included catering.

Olivia helped us find vendors (photographer, DJ, secondary catering, photobooth) within our budget and was great at looping us into the vendor conversations whenever we needed to make a decision.

Since the two of us were pretty new to weddings, considerations like a flat lay, welcome table, how to arrange our tables, are all things we came to learn about during our discussions with Olivia.

We didn't really know what "day of"/"month of" coordination would entail, but it became very apparent during the event that we would not have been able to pull off the wedding with just the two of us. Olivia ran us through rehearsal, and created the whole wedding timeline beforehand for us to review. The wedding timeline was especially helpful because we knew when we could go and have fun with our guests, and when we had to cut cake, take photos, etc.

The day of coordination is definitely a must have, there are constantly things going on during setup and it would have been a huge headache to manage all of the vendors. I didn't have to look at the timeline at all during the wedding, we were told a little bit ahead of time what we needed to do which was incredibly helpful and relieving. Olivia and her team were great at working in the background, ensuring the venue looked beautiful as well as the welcome table and signage.

Overall we're very happy about the service we received and would highly recommend anyone looking to get married in NOVA to contact Dear My Event for their wedding planning services!

They were amazing! From our first meeting to the final send-off- they were attentive, reassuring, organized, and had great communication. They anticipated things ahead of time and made sure everything ran smoothly. We were able to fully enjoy our day due to their diligent work. We are very grateful for their hard work- they were fantastic!

Olivia was amazing! She was incredibly organized and thoughtful about every single detail, which helped make our day run so smoothly. Thanks to her care and professionalism, we were able to truly enjoy the moment without stress. I can’t thank her enough for making our wedding day so special!

Working with Olivia months in advance as my month-of coordinator was such a privilege. She took all of my ideas and continual changes into consideration, created an easy forum to coordinate my vision and specific requests, and was willing to have a last minute call the week of to ensure I felt comfortable. She and Jamie made my day so beautiful and a dream come true without me even realizing what was going on behind the scenes. I would recommend their team to everyone!

Working with Olivia was the best decision we made for our wedding. In addition to being more affordable than other vendors, she brought a calm and knowing air to every one of our meetings. We weren't certain we knew what we wanted at first and she helped us tailor our vision by meeting us where we were, being flexible when we inevitably changed our minds, and never made us feel rushed. She walked us through questions we never would have thought to ask, and towards the end of our experience she asked us to place our faith in her and trust her to make our day magical - and she went above and beyond (even convincing our ice cream truck vendor to let us serve ice cream ourselves!). At the end of the night, Olivia packed up all of our items and made picking it up the next morning effortless. We truly cannot say enough about Dear My Event and all Olivia did for us. If only we could do it all over again, and hire her a second time!
