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
At the heart of our approach is design — it’s the foundation of everything we do and the lens through which we guide each wedding.

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!

Madison is the best!

Madison and her team were absolutely incredible and we could not have pulled off our wedding without her. Besides having an amazing eye for design that took our style and vision into account, she comes with a network of wonderful vendor recommendations and a wealth of knowledge about the wedding industry in the DC/VA/MD area. Our venue required juggling multiple vendors, and Madison walked us through each selection and handled all of the coordination so seamlessly, we barely even knew it was happening. Even in the face of surprising challenges - like a surprise visit from a foreign President which complicated travel to our downtown DC venue - Madison handled everything, and was able to print out sheets of paper from the venue telling the Secret Service to let guests into the venue. We truly never had to worry about a thing and would recommend Madison and her team to everyone!

Simply the best!

Madison was the #1 vendor choice that we made for our wedding! Throughout the whole process she was proactive, knowledgeable, and really took the time to make our wedding vision come true. She has an incredible attention to detail, taking in and incorporating all of our many requests into the most incredible ceremony and reception. When any difficult situations came up, Madison was quick to deliver us incredible guidance and support, making sure that we were perfectly informed to make the right decision. Wedding planning can be a really stressful time, but Madison and her team made it so much better at every stage. To top all of this, Madison is incredibly sweet, upbeat, and kind, she truly was an amazing friend to us throughout it all.

100% would recommend, Madison is simply the best!

We loved working with Madison Avenue Events!

We had our April wedding at the Evergreen Museum and Library and when it ended, we raved how nothing went wrong at all! Much of that success can be credited to Madison and her very competent team for setting up the most important day of our lives for success. It was a blessing to have a team answering any and many questions, keeping time, and coordinating multiple vendors on the day of. Her assistants were also so fabulous—they were kind, calm, and all of my close family/friends who came in contact with them had nothing but lovely things to say.

We’re grateful to have had someone like Madison in the lead-up to our wedding. We had enough time to be able to have planned a lot of our wedding, but having Madison as our planner gave us the support of someone experienced to consult with on contracts and vendor issues, ask for guidance on barriers, and discuss design deliberations. Our wedding day could not have gone better, and the design of the entire day was a dream come true. She is decisive, detail-oriented, and organized, and we’re glad we had her support on our wedding journey!

Madison & Team - The best!!!

We will never have enough words to thank Madison and her team for giving us a stress-free wedding planning process and most importantly stress-free day. She was organized, kind, fun, offered clear communication and it truly felt like a partnership. All of the vendors she recommended were outstanding. I have no doubt there were a million decisions she made the day of the wedding, that we will never know about, because of that we could focus solely on our friends and family and for that we will forever be grateful. Our only regret was not having her organize our rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks- that's how easy she made everything for us. By the end of it all, it felt like we had a friend with us on our wedding day.

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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
