I hired Joanne a bit over a year before my wedding and I was absolutely astounded how quickly she jumped in and got our budget in check and got the ball rolling. I was never stressed (except when I couldn't figure out what linen and texture I wanted -- Why are there SO many?!). The day of ran so smoothly. My husband and I were able to relax and spend all our time with our family and friends. Our vendor team worked so well together but we thank Joanne for bringing them all to us.

Working with Events to Woo, and especially Joanne, was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding.

From the very beginning, Joanne didn’t just “plan” our wedding, she actually understood what we were trying to create and translated it into something better than we could have imagined. We came in with a rough vision and a tight budget, and she immediately built out a clear plan that made everything feel doable instead of overwhelming.

One moment that really stood out was when we were struggling with our venue layout. We had one space that needed to flip from ceremony to reception quickly, and we couldn’t figure out how to make it feel intentional instead of rushed. Joanne stepped in, redesigned the entire flow, and coordinated with rentals and catering so the transition felt seamless. Guests had no idea the room had completely transformed.

She also saved us during vendor selection. We were about to book a photographer purely based on price, and Joanne gently pushed us to think about style and personality instead. She connected us with someone who matched our vibe perfectly, and now our photos feel like *us*, not just generic wedding shots.

Another huge save was with our seating chart and catering coordination. Joanne caught things we would have never thought of, like clearly marking meal indicators for the catering team and adjusting the layout to prevent bottlenecks during dinner service. It sounds small, but it made the entire guest experience smoother.

On the day of the wedding, she ran everything behind the scenes so flawlessly that we didn’t have to think about a single detail. When a minor timeline delay popped up, she handled it quietly and adjusted everything without us even noticing. We were fully present the entire day, which is honestly priceless.

What makes Joanne different is that she combines creativity with real execution. A lot of planners can design something pretty, but she makes sure it actually works in real life, with your budget, your vendors, and your space.

If you’re on the fence, don’t be. Events to Woo is the kind of team that makes your wedding feel elevated, personal, and genuinely stress-free. Joanne is not just a planner, she’s the reason our wedding felt effortless and unforgettable.

We could not be more thrilled that we chose Events to Woo as our wedding coordinator service. From our first encounter with Events to Woo, the team was responsive, professional, and dedicated to making our wedding a beautiful and stress-free experience. Thanks to their meticulous planning of every aspect of the day with timelines, checklists, and vendor outreach, we were able to plan the entire event in a month, and everything went off without a glitch. We had the pleasure of working with Joanne and Melissa, and the model of having two people present on the day of our wedding turned out to be essential to the success of the event. We are absolutely ecstatic with how everything turned out, and we would highly recommend Events to Woo for any couple looking to get married in the DMV area.

We are so pleased that we hired Elizabeth from Events to Woo as our day-of coordinator! She handled all the behind-the-scenes logistics flawlessly, from coordinating vendors and managing the timeline to ensuring everything was set up perfectly for both ceremonies. Elizabeth and Margaret seamlessly managed the flow of guests, ensured all the necessary items were in place for each ceremony, and kept everything running smoothly and on schedule. Elizabeth also took a couple lovely "behind the scenes" photos that she sent to us the day after the wedding. They truly went above and beyond, handling everything with such kindness and professionalism.

We hired Joanne as our day-of coordinator and I can't recommend her highly enough! From the first call with her about what we were hoping for, to all of her help reviewing vendor contracts, to helping us craft our perfect timeline, to everything at the rehearsal and day-of, she both provided so much guidance and was also just a wonderful person to work with. On the day of our wedding she went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. When we were running slightly behind because my partner and I took a bit too much time chatting with people at tables, etc. (the little things that will always happen at a wedding) she was flexible and made seamless adjustments to the timeline to keep everything on track. Again- I can't recommend Joanne highly enough and will forever be grateful for everything she did to make our day better than we could have imagined.

Joanne is nothing short of a miracle worker. From the moment we engaged her services as our wedding planner, she transformed what seemed like an overwhelming mountain of tasks into a smooth, enjoyable journey leading up to our special day. Her attention to detail, creativity, and unwavering dedication to making our wedding perfect left us, and all our guests, in absolute awe.

Events to Woo turned our wedding dreams into reality! From the enchanting decor to seamless coordination, they made every moment unforgettable. If you want a wedding that feels like a celebration crafted by friends, Events to Woo is the team to choose. They transformed our day into a magical, stress-free celebration, and we couldn't be happier!

Joanne isn't just a wedding planner; she's a magical unicorn in the chaos of event planning. From turning our wild ideas into reality to handling wedding day chaos with the finesse of a ninja in a ball gown, she's the superhero of our love story. Her knack for turning stress into laughter and chaos into charm is nothing short of comedic brilliance. Joanne, the wedding planner extraordinaire, deserves a standing ovation – and maybe a spot at the next comedy club. Thanks for making our wedding a laughter-filled masterpiece!

Joanne surpassed all expectations in crafting our dream wedding. From the initial consultation to the flawless execution on the big day, her attention to detail and professionalism were outstanding. Joanne's calm demeanor and creative solutions made the planning process stress-free. We highly recommend Joanne for her exceptional service and for turning our special day into an unforgettable celebration!

We are really glad we booked Joanne as our day-of coordinator. Our wedding did not have a lot of the traditional elements (DJ, wedding party, rehearsal) and Joanne was flexible with our vision and worked with us to adapt things as needed. Despite the day-of title, there was clear and easy communication with her in the days and weeks leading up to the event. Our family was impressed with our detailed down-to-the-minute schedule for the wedding weekend, which was very much drawn from Joanne's template. She also did a fantastic job putting together our ceremony and venue decorations with little guidance from us and a blank canvas at the venue!
