Glamorous, fun, extravagant NYE wedding

Noelle and her team are truly top knotch. I dont know how we could’ve done anything we did without them. They were professional but also never stiff/really took the time to understand us and who we were. Everything was a collaboration - they guided us towards options they thought we would like but never imposed opinions. Ben and I couldn’t have even imagined a more perfect team to help us with our three day NYE extravaganza. Someone messaged me (that did not attend my wedding) and said “Ive had the most fun following your wedding. You can tell every detail was so thought out and so many brides don’t do that nowadays.” I wish i could take credit for that, but it was truly all them! They captured everything above and beyond and we are so sad it’s over!!

ICONIC Wedding Curator

We are beyond grateful to Noelle and the whole SSCO team for pulling off the wedding of our actual dreams. From the very beginning, they understood our vision and executed it flawlessly. Throughout the entire planning process, the team was patient, thoughtful and insanely talented — handling every detail with so much creativity and intention.

I never really thought I’d care that much about having a wedding, but they completely changed that. They designed and produced something that felt so authentic to us — interactive, fun, quirky, and not like anything we'd seen before. It honestly blew us (and everyone there) away.

The team’s eye for design and ability to execute flawlessly is unmatched. We feel so lucky we got to work with them and can’t imagine our wedding any other way.

Excellent Day of Coordination

My goodness. I dont even know where to begin. When I started the wedding planning process I didn’t know if we would need a coordinator/planner. I cant begin to describe how happy I am that we hired silk and slate.

Noelle and Hazel were beyond fantastic. They were Incredibly responsive, organized, firm, and amazing!

If we could have managed to afford it in our budget I would have wanted them for complete wedding planning, but they were absolutely amazing for day of services.

They also brought Anna on the day of who was a quiet force. They all made sure our ceremony ran smoothly from start to finish and that our vendors all did what had to be done!

Unbelievable talent and dedication.

I love Silk and Slate!!!

Everything With This Team Was Perfect!

We had Noelle and the Silk and Slate Co Design + Coordinate our wedding and could not have asked for a better outcome. After our first informational call with Noelle, we knew we would be in incredible hands with her. Noelle & the SSCO team were exactly what we needed to put our vision of our wedding to life and their advice/guidance throughout the process was critical. Our wedding day, from details to execution, ended up absolutely perfect thanks to the SSCO Team. Whether you need help designing your wedding from square one, or already have a vision but need expertise to bring it to life, you will not be disappointed by going with the SSCO Team!

Spring DC Wedding

Noelle and her team were truly amazing. Her unique style and creativity was unlike any other planner we had met with. Nothing was cookie cutter and she didn't repeat anything twice. She was incredibly responsive from the get-go with her proposal coming in right within the time frame she said it would. From start to finish, Noelle and her team were on it. Our wedding day wasn't stressful at all, because they handled everything for us. It was remarkable. They curated a wonderful group of vendors that made our day into what we had always hoped it would be. From Stationary to Flowers to Rentals, everything was just perfect. If you want a wedding planner that knows her stuff, doesn't go with the cookie cutter norm and will curate a perfect and unique wedding just for you, couldn't recommend Silk & Slate more highly. Thank you Noelle, Hazel, Anna and team!

SSCO turns abstract vibes into aisle iconography

At the outset of the process, SSCO made us feel like we would have a curated experience with an ideal blend of stylistic creativity and operational rigor. After interviewing more than 15 planners, many of whom were excellent, SSCO stood apart.

During the planning process, SSCO gathered a ton of information from us, and distilled our abstract vibes and ideas and elevated them into concrete, tangible aspects of our wedding that felt simultaneously true to who we are as a couple but also something we could have never done on our own. We wanted everything to feel intentional — to feel very us — even if it meant eschewing tradition. Noelle, Hazel, and the SSCO team embraced us for who we are and understood the only rules on a wedding day are the things you want to happen (and, you know, getting married for real).

From the tiniest decisions (like floating menu cards) to the most fundamental choices (an all-white theme), SSCO felt like they were taking the essence of what we wanted, transforming and molding our ideas into beauty. It was the blend of macro and micro — overall vision and fine details — and SSCO’s mastery of both that made us certain we were in the best possible hands for the most important day of our lives.

Noelle and Hazel were true heroes and amazing human beings. Noelle helped us navigate the shades of white for the flowers, Hazel was on top of every single vendor deadline imaginable. On the day of our wedding, Noelle beat the sunrise to the venue for load in, and Hazel was with us every step of the way. If there were any issues, we never knew — which is the sign of a sterling day-of experience.

If you are on the fence about a planner in the aggregate, or considering a day-of only planner, we recommend you reconsider. A full planning package from SSCO will ensure your special day is just that — special. SSCO was, by far, the most valuable part of our wedding budget (we love our other vendors too!!!).

As planners and, more importantly, as people, we cannot strongly recommend SSCO enough.

Absolutely Incredible Wedding Planning Experience with Silk and Slate

We cannot say enough good things about our experience working with Silk and Slate Weddings and the amazing Noelle Ahmad. From the beginning, we came into the planning process with scattered ideas and a loose vision. Noelle took everything we had and transformed it into a cohesive, stunning, and completely personalized wedding weekend.

She is incredibly organized, creative, calm under pressure, and one of the most responsive professionals we’ve ever worked with. We fully trusted her from the start, and she exceeded every expectation.

One of the biggest advantages of working with Noelle is her fantastic relationships with a wide network of vendors. The vendor selection process was so easy and stress-free thanks to her recommendations—every vendor we worked with was professional, talented, and familiar with Noelle’s high standards and aesthetic.

We also want to give a special shoutout to Hazel, a member of Noelle’s team, who was the bride’s shadow on the big day. Hazel was kind, calm, and always one step ahead, making sure the bride had everything she needed from start to finish.

Our only regret is not using Noelle for her styling services. If it had fit within our budget, we absolutely would have—she’s worth every penny. Her creative vision is incredible, and we know she would have brought even more magic to the day.

If you're looking for a planner who is professional, talented, and genuinely passionate about making your wedding the best it can be—look no further than Silk and Slate. We’re endlessly grateful to Noelle, Hazel, and the entire team for making our dream day a reality.

An incredibly experienced, talented team to make your day perfect

We are so grateful to the Silk + Slate team for helping us bring our vision to life for our wedding day! Noelle has planned something like 300+ weddings and it really shows every step of the way - I can't imagine how stressful and confusing it would have been to do this without her and the team. Our day-of coordinator, Becca, was also a total rockstar. All kinds of things were popping up that we had zero awareness of until after the fact because she was handling them so quickly and expertly, which really allowed us to be present in the moment. She truly went above and beyond in every conceivable way. We will be eternally grateful to Noelle, Becca and the team for helping us put on such a magical day!

An amazing and absolutely necessary vendor!

Silk & Slate was instrumental to making our day happen the way we envisioned it. From the beginning, Noelle worked with us to provide the services we seemed to need for our day based on the point in the planning process we were at. They learned about our design style to propose beautiful design packages for each category (florals, catering, stationary, tablescapes) which was so helpful in speaking to vendors about what we hoped for.
SSCO provided suggestions for vendors we hadn't yet booked, and when something was out of our budget, they worked with us to provide even more options.

A month-out we were connected with our lead planner for the day and Becca ensured all logistics/details/timelines were sorted and even provided her expertise in helping us with rentals and table-scapes. We had a fairly unresponsive venue contact, but Becca was persistent and calmed our anxieties about things not getting done. She kept all other vendors in the loop and was extremely organized, kind, and positive through it all! She had everything in amazing shape a week before our wedding so we could soak in our last week as fiancés.

Day-of, the SSCO team (Becca, Hazel and Anna) were incredible in making sure everything was in order and our people were where they needed to be, so that we could enjoy our day to the fullest. Becca had everything imaginable (from Tums for a nervous stomach, to safety pins to fix a bustle!). Everything was stunning and we were so pleased with how it all came together.

So grateful to the team and we can't recommend them enough!

Beyond our expectations...

When we began our wedding planning journey, the overwhelming sea of options left us unsure if we would ever find a planner who truly understood our vision and needs. Then we met Noelle and the Silk & Slate team, and instantly, everything clicked into place. Their approach to planning is not just about organizing an event; it's about creating an experience that is a true reflection of the couple's essence. Noelle's calm demeanor, paired with her sharp, creative mind, made us feel at ease from our very first meeting. Her willingness to adapt and work within our budget, without compromising on the quality or essence of our vision, was truly commendable. With every meticulously planned detail, from the stunning floral arrangements to the seamless execution of the event, they turned our dream into a reality. Our wedding was not just an event; it was a masterpiece that spoke volumes of who we are as a couple, thanks to the team.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
