More Than a Planner — Family for Life

From the very first moment I met Brandy over Zoom, I knew I was in the right hands. I was overwhelmed and unsure where to even start with wedding planning, but Brandy’s calm and patient approach immediately put me at ease. She told me to take a breath and gently walked me through everything step by step — even before I signed the contract. It felt like she was right there with me, breathing through the stress and making the whole process feel manageable and even exciting.

Our wedding journey wasn’t without its bumps, but Brandy’s grace and determination turned every challenge into a smooth victory. She’s got an incredible team around her — like Isabella, our makeup artist, who was an absolute dream and perfectly recommended by Brandy. It’s clear Brandy surrounds herself with people who share her passion and professionalism.

One moment I’ll never forget was walking up the stairs to marry Adam, and my dress got caught on my shoe. I heard Brandy’s reassuring voice right behind me saying, “I gotcha girl, I gotcha.” That simple, calm reminder meant the world in that moment of nerves and chaos. She kept everything running flawlessly and on schedule, even when there were unexpected toasts that could have thrown off the timing.

But beyond all the logistics, what made Brandy truly special was how she fit effortlessly into our family dynamic. She’s personable, funny, and genuine—she didn’t just feel like our planner; she became a part of our family that day. And that says a lot, because we are definitely A LOT. Honestly, I couldn’t have imagined a better day or a better person by my side through it all.

Pease Wedding

MIR Events & Travel was phenomenal to work with for our May wedding! Brandy and her team’s professionalism and attention to detail made our day flawless. From initial wedding wedding planning to executing our big day, Brandy was very attentive and was easy to communicate with. She accommodated everything we asked of her and she was a delight to work with. Brandy truly was the glue that held together our wedding and made it even more beautiful than we could’ve asked for!

Brandy is AMAZING!!!! If you want your day to go perfect hire Brandy!

Out of all the day of coordinators out there, I am so glad we went with Brandy & her team!
Words cannot describe how amazing this lady is 🥹 she made my day go SO smoothly and set everything up at my reception like a dream!! Came in clutch when we had an emergency with ice and missing linens! She was my fairy god mother for the day honestly! She has a team who is also amazing and took videos/photos for me throughout the night! She took care of all the vendors during the event, helped me with setting up tables and chairs I had rented! (I had no idea what the inside looked like until I came out! And I was amazed at how beautiful it all looked)

She is honestly amazing! If you’re looking for a coordinator for your wedding .. hands down you want someone like Brandy (my bridal party & parents kept saying how amazing she was all day too) 🤗

Brandy is someone you want on your side for the most special day in your life!

Hiring Brandy and her team was the best decision we made for our June 2022 wedding at Herrington on the Bay. Since we had made all the decor and florals ourselves, we had planned to do all the set up and breakdown as well and just work with our vendor coordinator. As the wedding day approached, we knew this would be a daunting task. We reached out to a few coordinators but immediately after we spoke with Brandy, we knew we had found our perfect fit. She made us feel better in an instant with her professionalism, attention to detail, and how comfortable we felt talking to her about our every concern. On the day of, her team executed everything we had planned perfectly and everyone loved Brandy and her team. Would hire her again in a heartbeat, she made our day perfect, and stressfree. Thank you for everything Brandy!!

Professional That Trully Loves Her Craft.

Brandy is a an amazing individual.
She is professional, honest, fun and kind but also doesn't hesitate to tell you off (kindly) if requests are unrealistic or unreasonable!
She pours all her heart into her projects and most clients become friends.
She always delivers beyond expectation. I absolutely love when I get to work with Brandy.

Brandy and team were wonderful

Hiring MIR Events and Travel was possibly the best choice we made for the whole wedding process. Brandy was responsive and flexible with my time considering I live in Japan and she in is America. She was able to get us a new officiant when ours cancelled last minute and help get us in contact with a shuttle bus service for the day of the wedding to bring folks to and from the church.

We were so lucky that Brandy's team of 4 were able to help get the church ready and get the hotel space ready at the same time. They really pulled it off! We had about 120 guests and each table looked just the way I imagined they would be.

We hired MIR for day-of coordinating, but I really feel like they went above and beyond to help me through the whole wedding planning process. Most importantly, my mother was able to relax and enjoy the wedding rather than worry about setting up tables by herself.

Stop your search right here!

We cannot emphasize more how amazing Brandy and her planning team are!! When we first started wedding planning, we didn't know if we had it in our budget to hire a planner. We took that leap with Brandy and it was without a doubt worth every dollar. Brandy is all around incredible. She captured our vision perfectly, and I was blown away with how everything looked at our wedding. Brandy quite literally gets things done - with a smile and positive energy! We're blessed to have had Brandy and her team part of our wedding.

Brandy is everything you need and more!

I started as a DIY bride who was determined to plan a 120-guest wedding/reception by herself. Eventually, I knew I needed a little help and I'm so glad I stumbled across Brandy. I hired her as a day-of coordinator but if I knew what I know now, I would have hired her to help me every step of the way. Brandy really can do it all, and she does it so effortlessly. My wedding (10/15/2021) turned out to be everything I dreamed of and more. She ensured everything ran as smooth as possible and kept with the timeline without taking away from the fun. I had last minute trouble finding wedding staff (servers/bartenders) and she was able to secure some great staff for me, relieving so much stress. I really don't know what I would have done without Brandy. If you're in the DMV area and looking for a wonderful wedding planner/day of coordinator, give Brandy a buzz because she won't disappoint.

Brandy is the best

We knew Brandy was the perfect fit for us immediately after our introduction meeting. We were looking for a day-of coordinator because I knew we needed one and what was so great about Brandy is even though we just hired her for the day, she was involved throughout the entire process - joined us during the tastings, tours, made sure we had our dress/tuxes in order, everything. It made the whole wedding journey so smooth for us. She is a woman with many hats so she also took care of coordinating transportation and hotel blocking for us which was so incredibly helpful. There were countless times of her going above and beyond to make sure we had the wedding we dreamed of that I'll forever be grateful for. She was phenomenal and I HIGHLY recommend her to any bride/groom that's looking for a coordinator.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
