Absolute life savers

Missy and Kristi at GLOW were so incredibly helpful in planning and executing on our wedding. They met with us early on and helped us to determine what was really important for us for our wedding. They made managing the logistics, coordinating the vendors, and crossing the many items of the to-do list feasible and painless. On the day of the wedding, everything was taken care of and we were able to just enjoy the day. Would definitely recommend working with them!

Fantastic planner!

Kristi and Missy were great to work with! They were very organized and had tons of resources. They helped with great vendor recommendations who really knew our venue. They also had great suggestions about lighting and small details that made the day feel perfect while make sure my overall vision came to life. Leading up to the wedding they communicated very well and made sure we were ready to go so that everything on the day of the wedding went perfectly with no issues!

September Wedding at Woodend

Kristi and team were the utmost professionals. They went above and beyond to make my daughter's wedding and reception run like clock work. Glow thought of every little detail. I would highly recommend them for your next special occasion.

Didn't have to worry about a thing!

We had the pleasure of having Glow coordinate our wedding this past September! Kristi and Missy were both so helpful in the weeks leading up to the wedding, as well as the big day. They did an amazing job coordinating all of our vendors so we didn't have to worry about a single thing on the actual day. They also answered all our questions, no matter how minuscule or random. We made/brought a lot of our own decorations and Glow made sure that all of our decor was set up correctly, on time, and beautifully! We truly did not worry about a single thing on our special day and were able to just enjoy being in the moment, all thanks to Glow.

Phenomenal service!

Hiring Kristi was the best decision we made for our daughter's wedding. From the start, she understood what my daughter and her fiance wanted and connected us with wonderful vendors we'd never have found on our own. Every recommendation was a great fit.

She kept the whole process on track, with clear timelines, gentle reminders, and a calm presence whenever decisions piled up. Just as important, she respected our budget. She never pushed us to spend more than we'd planned, and she found creative ways to make every dollar count.

On the day itself, everything came together perfectly, down to the smallest detail. We got to relax and enjoy the celebration because we knew she had everything handled. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful and seamless it was.

If you want someone who is organized, thoughtful, and truly cares about getting it right, Kristi is the one! Thank you for giving our family a day we'll never forget!

Incredible coordination!

My wedding was an absolute breeze thanks to Kristi and Missy. They were so organized and responsive and made sure everything ran smoothly and perfectly. They did everything to coordinate our vendors, timeline, family, rehearsal, and probably a million other things I didn’t even see! They are the best and choosing them for our wedding was the perfect choice!

The Best Wedding Decision We Made During Wedding Planning

From the very beginning, Kristi and Missy made us feel supported, organized, and genuinely cared for throughout the entire planning process. Wedding planning can be overwhelming, but they brought a sense of calm, kept everything on track, and helped us make thoughtful decisions without ever making us feel pressured.
By the time our wedding day arrived, Chris and I were able to truly be present because we knew everything was in good hands. Every detail came together beautifully, even when Mother Nature had other plans.
Glow exceeded every expectation we had, but what stood out most was the people. Kristi and Missy were patient, responsive, flexible, kind, and truly invested in bringing our vision to life. Over the past year, they became trusted partners through every question, decision, and milestone.
Planning a wedding truly takes a village, and we’re so grateful Glow was part of ours. Thank you for helping create one of the happiest and most meaningful days of our lives. We will always recommend Glow Weddings & Events!
— Katherine & Chris

Glow glows!

Kristi & Missy were absolutely fantastic to work with. We hired them for essentially full-service wedding planning, two months before we even got engaged, for our wedding a year later. Kristi was an MVP when it came to every single vendor - making suggestions, sitting in on phone calls, reviewing contracts, and coordinating day-of; Missy's ability to help with all things printing & design was unmatched. They made us feel like rockstars on our wedding day! I cannot recommend them enough!

Kristi & Missy are great

We hired Kristi and Missy early on in our wedding planning process, and it was a fantastic decision. We got married at Woodend and saw that they were highly experienced with the venue. Kristi helped us with a number of our initial vendor hires, pointing us to people who were reliable and helped our wedding go beautifully. In the weeks before the wedding, Kristi and Missy kept us on track, making sure that we were fully prepared for the wedding weekend. On the day of, they made sure that everything was handled and on-time, we didn't have to worry about a thing. We felt like we were truly able to enjoy our wedding because we had them as our coordinating team. We would recommend Kristi and Missy to anyone planning a wedding in the DC/MD/VA area.

The best coordinators we could have asked for

Kristi and Missy were such fantastic partners for the last stretch of planning our wedding, and day-of execution. They knew our venue inside and out, had great relationships with other vendors, and kept our day running smoothly. Their hard work made it so we could just be carefree guests. If you’re on the fence about a coordinator, hire them!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I highly recommend Glow Weddings for your wedding. Glow has done several weddings at Woodend for many years, so they know the venue very well and will make the best use of the space, ensuring that your special day is everything you hope it will be. They are professional, creative, knowledgeable and such a joy to work with. I also appreciate that Glow understands all guidelines set for events, and instead of putting couples against venues for things that may not be allowed such as candles on the floor or grounds, they use their knowledge and creativity to find solutions to make your wish come true without compromising the safety of everyone and the venue.

Great team to work with on a wedding day. They kept us well informed of each event and provided an amazing timeline for the day. Can't wait until the next time we have the privilege to work with such a talented team!
