In short - we *wholeheartedly recommend* Glint (and especially our planner, Anna)!

Our venue, the Branch Museum of Architecture & Design, required us to hire a coordinator for the day of our wedding. After researching many different options online, we decided to go with the team at Glint. They offered a package that was technically day-of-coordination, but still provided many perks of a full planning package (e.g. lots of communication, coordination of our other vendors, expert input on layout/itinerary/set up, online planning tools that both the planner and client could collaborate on, etc). We ended up hiring Glint in the summer of 2019 for our April 2020 wedding - we were excited and felt like we were in great hands. Little did we know how much we would come to appreciate these amazing women in the coming months.

February 2020 rolled around. COVID-19 became a reality. All of a sudden, over the course of about a week, we went from excitedly anticipating our upcoming wedding to steadily realizing the horror that we may need to reschedule. The thought of having to communicate with almost a dozen vendors and our 150+ guests, pick a new date and hope it works for everyone, and do all of this on a little more than a month’s notice - was daunting (to put it lightly). This was all before large gatherings were prohibited, but we had the sinking feeling that things were headed that way. Glint’s owner, Kate, reached out once word started going around that events may be affected by COVID, and asked us what our thoughts were. As much as we didn’t want to be having that conversation (and I’m sure she didn’t want to either!), we so appreciated her proactiveness and anticipation of what ended up being inevitable. Of course, the pandemic continued to progress, ultimately resulting in a ban on large gatherings. Almost immediately after the Governor announced the ban, Kate had reached out with a list of new dates for us. We’re talking within a couple hours - she had communicated with all our vendors and compiled an Excel sheet of possible dates that would allow us to use as many of our original vendors as possible. To say we were amazed and grateful is an understatement. What could have been a worst case scenario was handled with such professionalism and reassurance, and was done without second thought that this tremendous amount of additional work technically wasn’t part of our “day-of” package.

Now, fast forward to our new date in September 2020. We were still in the middle of an unprecedented pandemic, trying to navigate how to safely accommodate our greatly reduced guest list, while also trying not to sacrifice the elements and feeling of a “normal” wedding. This is where our planner, Anna Inn, really stepped in and shone. First of all, she is a completely lovely person to work with - a very warm, calming personality - which is obviously imperative in her line of work. Secondly, she was extremely well organized - she encouraged us to use the online planning tool (Aisle Planner) so that she could see where we stood on planning, and we could have a clear idea of what was left to do. As the wedding date approached and we began to feel a little overwhelmed, she was always there to keep us on track, anticipate our needs, and take work off our plates wherever possible. She was also so easily accessible - we mostly communicated by email and Zoom calls, and she was always very quick to respond to any questions we had, no matter the time or day. On the actual wedding day, we literally didn’t have to do anything except get ourselves to the venue. Anna and her support team handled everything - from coordinating vendors’ arrival and setup, to shepherding our guests to where they needed to go, to being mindful that the itinerary was being followed (but never in a bossy way!), to relieving our stress and ensuring we were enjoying every second of the day we had waited so long for.

Ultimately, we would use Glint a hundred times over again, and do not hesitate to recommend them to all our friends and family who find themselves in need of an event coordinator. To get their level of investment, professionalism, and commitment at any normal time is impressive, but during a PANDEMIC? Absolutely amazing! They are a fantastic group of women, who will truly do everything they can to make sure you have the wedding you dreamed of!

So we ended up working with Snap Event Co - a smaller function of the broader Glint Events team, since we didn't need full planning and had a smaller budget. But the service and planning was no less amazing for it! We ultimately worked with Anna, who took all of the vendor and event management off my plate in the month leading up to the wedding, and handled our little socially-distanced event flawlessly. They really hold true to what they promised us from the beginning: wanting us to be guests at our own wedding. I was never hounded by questions or made to stress over little details. Anna had it covered, and was both on top of planning but also behind the scenes in a way that made the event feel much more intimate and easy. I cannot recommend their team enough, whether you use their full-service Glint Events, or need something simpler from Snap Event Co. We are so happy we did!

We used Glint Events for our wedding this November at Dover Hall and I can't say enough great things about them! We got married during COVID, so there were a lot of stressful moments, last minute changes, and ups and downs while planning. The Glint team helped us create the day of our dreams while still making the event safe and comfortable for our quests. I know a lot of people have been pressured or even required to postpone their weddings due to the COVID, but we decided to have our wedding day as planned and never felt any judgement or disapproval from the Glint team. I have had countless guests comment about how incredible the wedding was and how impressed they were with all of the thoughtful details. Kate and her team delivered both what was promised in our contract and so much more. They provided guidance without every feeling overbearing and I never felt pressured from their team to make one decision vs another. They truly wanted the day to be about US and what we wanted. This was a huge relief especially since planning a wedding right now comes with a TON of pressure due to the pandemic. Our day was perfect! It was beautiful, romantic, and so much fun. I can confidently say that you will not be disappointed by this team of amazing women! It was one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding. Thank you so much Glint team!!! We are so thankful for everything y'all did for us!

Our wedding was amazing and the team at Glint were so special and extremely helpful. With 11 different vendors, the team at Glint kept everything together and did such an incredible job and our memories are all special ones to my wife and I-- Dave & Tiffany

My husband and I got engaged in January 2019 and immediately felt overwhelmed by everything that was happening. Living in DC and being from Richmond made it difficult to even think about starting the wedding planning process. Luckily, I have a flexible schedule so I was able to scoot down to Richmond to find a venue and church that coordinated on the same day. After that was decided, I distinctly remember thinking “now what.” We decided that the best place to start was with a wedding planner. After speaking with friends and family, the name that kept being mentioned was “Glint Events.” My mother and I were able to do an in-person meeting with them and immediately felt relieved. The wave of support had washed over us and we were going to have the best wedding experience. Kate and Anna were our main sources of contact and they helped us with everything, especially when it came down to the finer details. They have been helping people with events for some time and we trusted them with their recommendations and in the end it paid off. They helped coordinate all of our vendors with each other and helped us stay on track. The big day came in November, and everything was taken care of and planned. My husband and I felt so relaxed and had so much fun with each other and our guests. The weeks after our wedding, our guests kept saying how much fun everything was, and my response to them was it could not have been done without our planner! Thank you Glint Events for the best experience of our lives.

Kate and the Glint Events team was absolutely amazing! We spent a year working with Glint to plan our July 6th, 2019 wedding at Dover Hall. From the venue selection process to the very last details on the day of the wedding, Glint made sure that it all came together. My husband and I lived in DC while planning a wedding in Richmond. Kate and Anna were so flexible with having video calls instead of in-person meetings to accommodate our schedules. When we came onsite for meetings, everything was so organized and efficient! Kate provided us with recommendations for vendors based on her many years of experience and relationships she has developed in the wedding planning world. Glint Events has a wonderful reputation that was evident as every vendor we met with was thrilled to work with Kate. Kate coordinated all of our vendors, so that we didn’t have to worry about any of those logistics on wedding day. She advocated for us and handled any issues that arose without us needing to be involved. If there were any wedding day hiccups, we never even knew!!! We had so many guests come up to us and say “This was the best wedding ever!” and we couldn’t agree more. Kate, Anna, and the rest of the Glint team, thank you so much for helping us to have a stress-free wedding that exceeded all of our expectations. The full wedding package was perfect for us! We miss you all! Amanda + Louie

Planning a wedding is an incredibly difficult challenge. Just thinking about the amount of moving pieces and all the variables that go into a wedding will make your head spin. These were the thoughts that were going through my head after I proposed to my wife over a year ago.
We found out very quickly that finding the location was only about 5% of the overall wedding planning and we were very intimidated by the task we had ahead of us. We are young professionals with limited time to plan a wedding so we definitely needed help!
After finding out venue, Dover Hall, we asked them for a list of wedding planners that they recommend. We interviewed one wedding planner after another, but were not impressed, that is until we got to Glint Events and spent an hour talking to Kate. We thought our standards were pretty high, but she raised the bar within the first 5 minutes of our first google hangouts call. She was all about us. She wanted to know everything about us, our vision and what we wanted our wedding to portray. She took notes (as she always does in all of our meetings), asked a lot of questions, and really wanted to get to know us. She then proceeded to tell us all about how she planned to make our vision a reality. She was by far the most professional planner we spoke to, but also the friendliest and the easiest to talk to. By the end of our first meeting we honestly felt like we had just made a new friend. We didn’t even have to think about choosing her over the others. It was the easiest choice and the best choice we could have made.
Once we signed the contract, Kate and her team started planning. They were on top of every little detail and were in constant communication with us. Like I said, my wife and I are very busy people, but the Glint Events team made planning our wedding such an easy process that we didn’t feel any pressure or stress throughout the process. Kate and Anna were on top of everything. Whether it was choosing a florist, a DJ, or a photographer; they always considered our vision and gave us options that truly fused with how we wanted our wedding to feel like.
Kate planned our wedding at Dover Hall, a very beautiful venue, but honestly the wedding could have been anywhere and I would have had complete faith in the Glint Events team to plan an unforgettable wedding that our families and friends would have remembered forever.
Our wedding was an absolute hit with our families, friends, and even with the venue. The Dover Hall staff came up to us the day after our wedding and everyone sincerely thought that our wedding was one of the best weddings they had seen, and it is all 100% thanks to the Glint Events team. They went above and beyond for us. They considered our hobbies and the things we love. For example, my wife and I are absolute nerds…She loves Harry Potter and I am a Marvel and anime junkie. They included fun details and shout outs to the things we love in our wedding. These were details everyone at the wedding got to experience without losing the elegance and prestige that comes with getting married at Dover Hall. One example of this is an engineering project Kate, Anna, and their crew took on to simulate the flying keys in Harry Potter and made it so the wings on the keys were actual seating cards. Our guests had so much fun finding their keys. You can check it out here: https://www.instagram.com/p/By6bBCkFlJ8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
I could write about Kate, Anna, and Glint Events all day, but I should probably stop soon! Honestly words can’t begin to describe how grateful we are to them. I will end on this: no matter where your wedding is or what the vision for your wedding is, you can absolutely count on Kate and her team to go the extra mile to make your day unforgettable, because they are super passionate about what they do and are professionals when it comes to creating amazing weddings. They are simply the best!!

We were initially overwhelmed at the prospect of planning a wedding, but Anna & the team at Glint were so helpful and took so much stress off our plates. Anna was fantastic, helping us to prioritize our to-do list to make sure everything was taken care of in a timely fashion. On the day of the wedding, she juggled the normal rigors of the set-up process with an uncertain weather forecast and handled everything perfectly. The wedding turned out even better than we ever imagined. For anyone in need of a wedding planner, we can’t recommend Glint enough. Thanks, Anna!

Glint was nothing short of miraculous on the day of event. We as a couple, chose to contract our own vendors, so, Glint's role was to organize and execute on the day of our wedding.

We had a 200+ person event at Upper Shirley, which entails large spaces, moving parts, high energy and lots of calm coordination among the wedding party, guests and the venue staff.

Everything went better than planned. Anna was an incredible asset and confident to the bridal party.

110% recommendations for this team. I host event professionally for a Fortune 10 company and their skill, timing, expertise are world-class.

Kate, Anna, Becca and Emily at Glint Events were an absolute dream to work with. Their attention to detail, responsiveness and creativity were invaluable throughout the planning process. Our destination wedding in Williamsburg, VA went off without a hitch and my fiance and I were able to relax and enjoy the day to the fullest. If you're looking for top-notch, full service wedding planning, Glint delivers. Each and every vendor recommendation was spot on and Glint respected our budget at all the steps along the way. I cannot recommend the team at Glint enough.
