ABOUT

She has been in the DC wedding industry for 8 years and is well known for being very passionate about her work, her minimalist yet elegant taste, and establishing strong relationships with vendors.

We have connections with an ample amount of venues in the DMV including Perry Belmont House, Daughters of the American Revolution, Meridian House, The Willard Hotel, Museum of Women in the Arts, The Riggs Hotel, Goodstone Inn, Fleetwood Farm Winery, Shadow Creek, Still Meadow Farm, Rust Manor House, Early Mountain Vineyards, Stone Tower Winery, Kent Island Resort, The Pendry Baltimore, Evergreen Museum, and many more!

PACKAGES

The Best in the Business

Madison has been such a light in our lives since planning our wedding. Not only does she take the time and is very flexible with all the changing variables but she also makes sure to work with our budget. We are new to the area and having her and her connections have made this wedding process so enjoyable!! After our first meeting with her we knew that she was going to put her all into the wedding planning, she is very passionate about what she does and her work shows for it!! We would be lost without her never ending help!

Best Wedding Planner out there!

Madison and her staff made my daughter’s wedding one for the books! It turned out so amazing. Both families were able to enjoy the wedding without having to worry about anything. Madison had everything under control. She was easy to communicate with and listened to what my daughter and her husband visioned. I don’t think we could have asked for a better wedding planner than Madison and her team. She truly was the BEST!

Hiring Madison Avenue Events was the second best decision after saying yes to my fiance!

I can’t recommend Madison Avenue Events enough!! With a short engagement (less than a year!), a guest list of over 200, and us living out of town, we were really worried about how stressful the planning would be for us and our families. But Madison and her team completely eased our minds. They didn’t just bring our dream wedding vision to life, listening to every request and idea we had, but they added so many fun and unique details that we hadn’t even thought of! The entire planning process was smooth and stress-free, giving my fiancé, my family, and I the chance to fully soak in and enjoy our engagement season.
On the wedding day, Madison’s team handled every detail seamlessly. If anything unexpected came up, we never knew about it because Madison took care of everything behind the scenes. They checked in with us throughout the night to make sure we were always well taken care of, making sure we had plenty of food and drinks. And let me tell you—Madison’s vendor recommendations were next level. Every vendor she suggested was amazing, and the quality was exceptional. If you’re even thinking about hiring a wedding planner, don’t hesitate for a second—hire Madison Avenue Events!!

Madison is the wedding planning BFF you need!

Hiring Madison Avenue Events at the very beginning of our wedding planning process was the best decision we could have made. Working with Madison and her team to bring our dream wedding to life was a true joy. She was an exceptional partner in keeping us organized, understanding our vision, and asking the questions we wouldn't have even considered. Wedding planning is full of decisions to be made, and as someone who gets overwhelmed with too many options, the task of researching and selecting vendors was totally paralyzing to me. It alleviated so much stress to know that Madison was keeping us on track with choosing vendors, managing communications, and generally making sure everything ran smoothly. Ultimately she and her team created and executed a dream day that felt uniquely us. It shone through every moment that our wedding day going perfectly was just as important to Madison and her team as it was to us. I can't recommend Madison Avenue Events enough!

I didn't realize I had a dream wedding until Madison Avenue Events made it happen.

After I got engaged, it took about 30 minutes of wedding research for me to get completely overwhelmed, hence why wedding planning is a career. My now husband and I both work full time and we didn't have a clear vision of what we wanted. We knew we wanted to get married in the DMV, but neither of us is from the area and we had no clue where to start. Madison was the first planner who understood what we were looking for: not to plan a huge or super lavish wedding, just help with planning a "normal" wedding. A guide, and peace of mind. For the price of what other planners were quoting me for partial or day of planning, Madison, Paige, and Chelsea were with us every step of the way. After we picked a blank slate venue, they curated options for every vendor, created the floor and design plan, and scheduled every hour of the big day. With everything out of my hands, I woke up as a zen bride on my wedding day -- and as a type A lawyer, zen is not a mindset I frequently exist in. Our guests are still raving and I smile every time I think back on it. Madison and her team are talented, creative, connected, and affordable, and we wouldn't have made it down the aisle without them.

The best wedding planning team!

Hiring Madison was probably the best decision we made while planning our wedding. As someone who can get overwhelmed easily and is prone to procrastination, I was not looking forward to the wedding planning process but Madison and her team made it a breeze. From our first conversation I could tell that we were on the same page and that she understood what I wanted for our wedding. She brought that vision to life and the day was even better than we could have imagined. Madison and her team handled all the logistics with our amazing vendors which allowed us to really focus on each other and our guests on our wedding day. We had several guests comment on how smoothly everything went and how great our wedding planners were. We highly recommend Madison and her amazing team!

Made our day perfect!

Madison and her team are wonderful! It was clear their mission was to make our day perfect and they did. It was so nice to be worry free on the day of. We were talking to the DJ and he said when he saw that Madison was involved in our wedding it was a relief to him and he knew he would be able to concentrate on the music. We recommend Madison to anyone looking for wedding planners they want to count on.

Vision Brought to Life!!

Madison and her team were nothing short of extraordinary! We decided to hire Madison for coordination and design five months before our wedding, realizing that bringing our dream wedding to life was a more ambitious endeavor than we had anticipated. While most of our vendors were already secured, we still needed a florist and a cake designer. Madison’s thoughtful recommendations led us to two exceptional vendors who perfectly complemented our vision. She kept everyone on track with timelines, including us, which was much needed given all the fine details. Madison had many great ideas to help us make decisions and her creativity also helped bring it all together.
From the very beginning, we had complete confidence in Madison and her team. Their meticulous attention to detail allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of our wedding day, free from worry. We would absolutely recommend getting a wedding coordinator and hiring Madison was the best decision we made. We could not have done it without her and her team. Everything came together flawlessly, and we are forever grateful to Madison and her remarkable team for making our day so unforgettable.

Amazing Team

The best decision that we made was to hire Madison and her team. As the mother of the bride I thought I could do it all--but looking back I was 100% wrong. Madison and her team brought experience, professionalism and creativity, as well as personal commitment to the process. From the first time we met, I could see that she listened to what my daughter imagined her special day would look like. We had already chosen a beautiful location and Madison was aware of all the rules attached to it. Not only did we need music, flowers, photography and catering, but we also needed every chair, table, dish and glass. A daunting process, but Madison provided with us with great options that complemented the site as well as what my daughter envisioned. She and Paige spent time developing a relationship with my daughter that made decisions and proposals meaningful. The process "seemed" slow at the beginning, but she had a process to ensure decisions were made at the right time. It was nice to have someone else tell my daughter that something was due! Fast forward to the wedding week--everything fell into place. There was no last minute rush from my perspective, and the moment we arrived at the hotel to get ready, I did not worry about a thing. Her attention to detail allowed me to enjoy the entire day. Not once did I worry something would go wrong. She had a handle on all the vendors and everything fell into place. The venue looked spectacular and nothing was missed in terms of what my daughter envisioned. No detail was missed or out of place. I truly enjoyed the entire night and the only reason that happened was Madison and her team.

Wedding heros

We are so happy to have worked with Madison and her team to make our wedding a reality. From the bride: Enlisting Madison was my now-husband’s pre-wedding gift to me. And she truly was a gift. She was our “wedding hero” in so many ways – beginning with our somewhat late start and last minute need to switch venues after the venue we thought we finally had locked down was suddenly no longer an option. She and her team got us through all the details efficiently and with good humor, volunteering good options for other vendors and adjusting for our particular quirks. From the groom: She solved problems before I knew they existed and fixed my mistakes before the bride knew they existed. Worth every penny.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
