Pam is simply amazing!

We hired Pam because we had seen weddings she had planned at the Anderson House, and her design was exactly what we had in mind for our wedding. From the first meeting, we could truly tell how excited and enthusiastic she was about planning her clients' dream wedding. We were extremely worried about planning a wedding during COVID, but Pam made everything go so smoothly, and she was absolutely worth every penny. She could somehow picture everything we wanted before even saying it, which made our jobs so much easier in trusting Pam's vision. Even leading up to the day of the wedding, where it was raining in the morning and there were road closures/traffic due to a parade in DC, Pam was still unflappable in getting 1000 things done while still smiling and laughing with us. She was an absolute dream to work with, and we couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner!

Cannot thank Natalie enough!

Words cannot express our gratitude to Natalie from Pamala Barefoot events – she is simply the best in every possible way! From the moment we hired her, she went above and beyond to make us feel special and important when it came to planning our wedding. When we hired her in Feb. 2020, little did we know that the world would change drastically in the coming months. We could not have weathered all the changes we made (date, venue, and vendor switches due to COVID) if it wasn’t for Natalie. Her guidance, thoughts, and compassion truly got us through one of the hardest periods for us. In addition, when we changed the total look and feel of the wedding to fit a new venue (went from indoor social club in DC to outdoor inn in Middleburg, VA), she didn’t blink an eye and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. She understood our fears and anxiety (and sadness at times) and made sure that our June 2021 wedding would be special.

I could go on and on about how great Natalie is, but most of all, she is one of the kindest people I know. She truly cares about her couples and will do everything she can to make sure your special day is how you envision it. Our wedding was able to happen thanks to all the work Natalie did and we cannot thank her enough. If you are looking for an extremely talented wedding planner/designer and overall amazing person, look no further than Natalie – she is truly the best!
