H&L truly carried me through wedding planning!

Jules Petsch knocked it out of the park with our wedding decor and planning! I hired H&L to help with coordinating and executing our wedding decor and day of decor setup. Jules listens so well and can perceive things you might like before you even get there yourself.

Gem-toned tropical disco gay wedding success at the Torpedo Factory!

We had a blast working with Maya and the Honey & Lavender team and would recommend them for planning and executing a great wedding celebration! Maya and her team helped us two grooms put together a moody tropical + lively disco inspired celebration for our 120 guests at the Torpedo Factory in Old Town Alexandria, VA. They did all this while coordinating with us from afar as we live in Brooklyn, NY and our venue and their team are located in the greater Washington, DC metro area.

From the start, my partner Derrick and I knew we wanted to find a wedding planner that could help us brainstorm and refine our ideas early in our planning process, help us navigate the vendor landscape around DC, and help us create a unique multicultural gay wedding experience. We started working with Maya and the H&L team well over a year before our wedding and hired her for partial planning services. Maya was collaborative and open to all the varied ideas we were bringing to the table. Immediately, she and the team put together a helpful vision doc that synthesized all of our ideas and served as the foundation for our wedding planning. When Derrick and I brought additional ideas that we sourced from Pinterest or even brought brainstorming images we made from ChatGPT, Maya further iterated on the doc and helped give us a sense of what was feasible, outlandish, budget-dependent, etc. She truly helped us with executing our vision on everything from having a wedding ceremony-in-the-round all the way to folding in elements of Filipino culture into so many part of our wedding.

Fast forward to the week-of and day-of the event, Maya and her team excelled at handling everything to do with our vendors and with logistics. Derrick and I were able to focus on spending time with our family, friends, and just us, while their team took the reins on making sure everything was coming together smoothly. As Derrick and I were finalizing the last few things during the week running up to the wedding, Maya made sure to fold us into any important updates or need-to-knows from the vendors. On the day of the wedding itself, if there was anything that went awry or not according to plan on the backend, then Derrick and I didn’t know whatsoever because from our perspective the entire wedding programming ran on time and without a hitch.

I’d like to especially call out Maya and her team’s rapid problem-solving ability! When Derrick and I learned the unfortunate news that some of our wedding place cards weren’t going to arrive on time for the day of the event, Maya was quick to surface an alternate solution using their own name tags that would make sure our guests knew where to sit and wouldn’t clash with our existing wedding decor. Shoutout to Jules especially who helped hand-write all the alternate place cards in time for the reception!

Lastly, Maya and the H&L team were adept and diligent in working with all of our vendors and making sure they all knew what to expect for the event. From the moment we signed a vendor, Maya would take the lead on handling communications and coordination and making sure that each vendor understood our vision for the wedding and also understood the quirks of executing an event at the Torpedo Factory. We always felt like each new vendor that we brought to the team was in good hands with Maya! An unintended plus that we didn’t anticipate when we hired Maya was that once we landed on the Torpedo Factory, we learned how Maya and her team was so well connected in the city of Alexandria. For example, when we were having some trouble confirming reserved parking spaces in front of the venue, Maya knew exactly who to contact in the city to make sure that the paperwork moved forward.

Bottom line: we highly recommend Maya and her team at Honey & Lavender events for bringing our vision for our wedding to life and executing it seamlessly on the day of the event!!

H&L Made My Dream Come True

I just had my wedding on 9/15/2024, and it was truly the best day of my life! I had been working with Maya since January, and she was by my side through every decision, from choosing the venue to finalizing the seating chart details. Everyone who attended was impressed with how everything turned out, and only Maya and I truly knew how much effort went into it.

On the actual day, I cannot speak highly enough of Maya and Christina. They handled EVERYTHING, from coordinating with hotel staff and managing vendor deliveries to setting up the ceremony and reception, and even managing the guest sign-ins and gifts. My wedding day was packed because I wanted to combine Chinese traditions with a Western-style wedding. Our timeline was five pages long, running from 5:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., and guess what? We followed it flawlessly.

I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend them!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
