Amazing. Flawless. Easy to work with. Super communicative! Became my second mom!

Michele Palmer and her team at EventPlanningDC were amazing to work with! Since the beginning of planning our wedding (1.5 years ago!), EventPlanningDC was on top of everything, involved, and supportive. After our initial phone call, I knew the team would be a perfect fit. EventPlanningDC goes above and beyond to create a wedding that is "your own vision," and one that is executed flawlessly. One of the team members even designed (and personally drew!) a custom signature cocktail napkin for us of our dog, Luna! Michele became like a second mom to me throughout the process, and I couldn't possibly thank her enough for all of the work she put in to make my wedding absolutely perfect. The day went amazing, I was stress-free (even my guests commented how little stress they felt I was under the day of!), and I have Michele and her team at EventPlannningDC to thank for that! Her connections are invaluable, and she even helped us secure a photographer that originally was unable to work a second wedding that weekend, but agreed to do it for EventPlanningDC! Thank you EventPlanningDC! Can't wait to call you to plan my child's wedding in 25 years!

Book with EPDC

Our experience with Michele and her team at Event Planning DC was outstanding from start to finish. From the moment we began planning, they made it clear that our vision was their priority, and they ensured we enjoyed every part of the process along the way.

Their professionalism, creativity, and seamless communication took all the stress out of planning. Michele truly listened, offered insightful guidance, and elevated our ideas in ways we never could have imagined on our own. When the big day arrived, she and her team managed every detail flawlessly, allowing us to relax and be fully present.

We honestly don’t know how we would have done it without them. Thanks to their dedication and expertise, our wedding day was everything we hoped for and more. We’re incredibly grateful and highly recommend **Michele and the Event Planning DC team** to anyone seeking planners who are genuinely invested in creating an unforgettable experience.

Wedding Day was Pure Bliss thanks to Michele and the EPDC team!

Thoroughly enjoyed our wedding day thanks to all the behind the scenes and preparation work done by Michele and her team! We really enjoyed working with Michele, we clicked early on and updated her as the vision changed throughout the planning process -- she was happy to weigh in on ideas that she has seen work and what might not turn out as planned but let us make all final decisions! She jumped on a call to help arrange the seating chart when I realized I couldn't work with the original table layout --super responsive and communicative, I never had any doubts the day would turn out beautifully and it did! We loved working with all of the team, they worked with our friends, families and other vendors seamlessly, let them help you enjoy your day and be in the moment!!!

Seamless, Beautiful Wedding Despite the Rain - Thanks, Michele!

We couldn’t be happier with how our wedding day turned out, thanks to Michele and her team. Even though it rained and we had to make some last-minute changes - moving the ceremony from the front yard to the basement, shifting cocktail hour indoors - everything went so smoothly and still felt incredibly special.

Michele was ready for anything and made sure the day flowed effortlessly. The basement ceremony ended up feeling intimate and beautiful, and the indoor cocktail hour was cozy and fun. Once the rain cleared, everyone moved into the tent, which looked amazing - warm, inviting, and exactly what we had envisioned.

We were able to be present and enjoy every part of the day, knowing everything was being taken care of. It was better than we could have imagined, even with the weather curveball. We're so grateful to Michele for helping make it all happen, and we’d highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding or any event!

Amazing Full Planning Services

We truly couldn’t have asked for a more magical wedding experience for our daughter! From the moment we hired Michele and her team for full-service planning, everything fell perfectly into place. As parents, we got to fully enjoy the day without stress—it felt like we were guests at our own event! Michele’s guidance, vendor recommendations, and attention to every detail made all the difference. She was in constant communication, always just a text, call, or email away, and made us feel like a top priority throughout the process. Planning from Florida for a wedding in DC could have been daunting, but with Michele at the helm, it was nothing short of seamless. We are so grateful—and when wedding #2 rolls around, EPDC will be the first number we call!

These are THE wedding planners!

I could not have made my dreams come true without Event Planning DC. Michele and team were absolutely incredible and helped me pull everything together to a T. They brought my vision to light and made the day less stressful. My wedding was at the George Peabody Library, which is a historic space with lots of rules and Michele and team managed it with grace. They were proactive and easy to get a hold of.

Low stress wedding planning!

My wedding planning experience was smooth, easy, and low stress, all thanks to Event Planning DC! They have so much experience and have developed strong relationships with local vendors in the industry. This made it easy to navigate the options and trust their knowledge. Communication was always excellent and we had several zoom calls, phone calls, and in-person meetings throughout the year. The day-of wedding was flawless and there were no hiccups that I noticed. Thank you Carlye for helping with my dress bustle! I truly appreciate how Michele and Debby made sure my vision came to life, thank you times a million!

The Very Best Day - Thanks to Event Planning DC!

Michele and the wedding planning team at Event Planning DC are incredible. The team's creativity, expert knowledge, and quick thinking truly made my wedding the day of my dreams. Michele and Debby had every detail covered, kept in constant contact with both me and each of my vendors, and were both so incredibly organized and flexible.

I had so many ideas about colors, styles, food, and details for the wedding with no idea how to pull them all together in a thoughtful and elegant way - Michele's expertise and creative eye flawlessly made my vision a reality. She went above and beyond for me every step of the way and I cannot thank her enough.

The weeks leading up to my wedding were stress free and it is all thanks to this wonderful team. On wedding day, Michele and her assistants were on site ensuring that every chair was in place, every person in the bridal party was where they needed to be, and every tie was straightened! I cannot thank them enough for their attention to detail and commitment to planning and orchestrating my perfect day. Do yourself a favor and work with these wonderful ladies!

Can’t thank them enough

I reached out to Michele 10 days before my wedding because my original planner ghosted us. She got back to me in twenty minutes, set up a call and agreed to help us out. And she did an AMAZING job. Such a good job that we were thankful our other planner left us at the eleventh hour.


I can’t thank her and her team enough for helping us have the wedding of our dreams.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
