Hiring Stephanie is hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. Stephanie is professional, kind, organized, and just so fun to work with.

She is very well connected and set us up with the most wonderful vendors. We felt so fortunate work with such great people in every aspect of the wedding planning process. Our wedding day went incredibly smoothly, it was so beautiful and a ton of fun! Stephanie understood my vision and executed on it perfectly. I knew we were in such capable hands the second I even emailed with Stephanie.

We had such a stress free planning process because of her and I will sing her praises every time we talk about planning our wedding!!

Some of the best money I spent on planning my wedding was Stephanie's virtual design service! I hit a point about halfway through planning my wedding where I was overwhelmed with all the design options and second-guessing my choices. I reached out to Stephanie and within about three weeks, had a custom design board that included vendor sources or Amazon links for each and every item. We had a call to review everything, which was so valuable for getting her take on how to make my wedding day the most beautiful it could be. She took into account our budget when creating the plan as well. She even built out our rental order AND created a virtual floor plan that I could edit myself as things changed once our final guest count came in. Cannot recommend this service enough!

We worked with Stephanie for our wedding this past July and could not be happier with the result. From our first phone call, we knew she was the best fit because she had great energy and was very passionate and professional. We communicated our vision and Stephanie made it even better – no detail was missed. During the 7 -8 weeks leading up to our wedding, Stephanie helped alleviate so much stress, reaching out to vendors to finalize the details + handle all of the paperwork needed. On the weekend of, Stephanie made sure everyone was on track which helped us be at ease, truly enjoy the day, and be present as each moment went by. She did a fantastic job of managing the timeline (ceremony, bridesmaids/groomsmen, reception, breaks, speeches, etc.) for the day which made the day flawless. Outside of working with our vendors, she always made it a point to check on me (the bride) to ensure I was OK. I would work with Stephanie again in a heartbeat!

After an initial planned "long engagement" plus an additional year COVID delay, we had the pleasure of working with Stephanie for almost 2.5 years to make our wedding dreams a reality. Hiring Stephanie and her team at SRS Events was hands down the ABSOLUTE BEST decision we made during the entire planning process and I don't know what we would have done without Steph holding our hands throughout the journey. I consider myself a creative person who had tons of ideas and opinions on how I envisioned my perfect wedding, but when it came to making decisions...it can definitely be overwhelming. There are just SO MANY OPTIONS out there. This is where Steph's help really came into play. She assisted us by narrowing down choices, providing her expert opinion on our ideas, and organizing the entire day down to every last detail. When the time came, we literally had nothing to do but enjoy. Steph checked in regularly leading up to the event, sat in on our vendor meetings, and assisted in negotiating down prices. She created the perfect timeline and was extremeley prepared. I literally had zero idea if there was anything that went wrong throughout the day because she worked her magic and fixed it. I was a bridesmaid in a wedding soon after ours, which only made me appreciate working with SRS Events even more knowing how much of a difference an organized and seasoned Wedding Planner can make. At first I was a bit nervous to work with SRS Events because many of the photos of their past weddings seemed a bit more traditional and romantic than the boho-farm wedding I was envisioning, but after my consultation with Stephanie and hearing how organized and creative she was, I knew she was exactly the right partner I needed to work with. AND she knocked our groovy boho-disco-farm (whatever you want to call it) wedding out of the park! I was especially impressed with the online wedding planning platform that she uses with her clients, it helped us tremendously in staying on budget and organizing all our contacts and contracts in one place. Throughout the entire COVID postponement period, Steph remained calm and guided us through the process of amending our vendor contracts and coming up with creative solutions. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. This was the best money we spent on our wedding, without a doubt. What an amazing value and thanks for teaching me so much about party planning!

I cannot say enough good things about Stephanie and SRS Events. From the beginning, I loved how she got to know us and what we were looking for in our day, it felt personal from the start. She made the entire process so easy--including all the prep work in advance, managing the entire team of vendors, all the way though to the wedding day itself. Our day was perfect, and felt completely seamless, so if anything went wrong behind the scenes, we had no idea!

We were also so appreciative of how gracious she was with helping us reschedule due to COVID (twice!). She helped alleviate so much stress at that time, and was an absolute life-saver in handling all the added work that came with that.

Stephanie was so amazing in helping us make decisions, giving us helpful suggestions on things we didn't even know we needed, and was incredibly responsive throughout. She was also great at sending us reminders about when we should be taking care of different aspects, so we never felt rushed as the final date neared. To top that all off, she had a baby during this process, and communicated with us early so even when she was taking time to be with her family, we never felt alone.

I would highly recommend Stephanie to absolutely everyone!

SRS events went above and beyond in every aspect! We feel so lucky to have Stephanie and her team on our wedding team. Stephanie and her team were so incredibly helpful and our only regret is not hiring SRS events sooner! She helped us every step of the way as we navigated the challenges of planning a wedding during a pandemic. Two weeks before our wedding date, we had to scramble to find a new reception venue because of the new COVID gathering restrictions in DC. Stephanie found us the perfect replacement venue that fulfilled all of our requirements. She coordinated with all of our vendors and helped us find last minute catering. She even helped arrange transportation for all of our guests. We literally could not have pulled off the wedding without them.

Stephanie and her team are professional, capable, friendly, easy to communicate with, and detail-oriented. They are so on top of everything, and no detail was overlooked. The week leading up to the wedding, she made us a 10 page detailed wedding day schedule. On the wedding day, Stephanie and her team took care of EVERYTHING. The wedding day flowed seamlessly. I was able to fully enjoy the wedding day all thanks to SRS events. My husband and I, and our family and friends are so impressed with SRS events.

Stephanie has been a true lifesaver for my fiance and I in helping us to plan every detail of our dream wedding, and then helping us reschedule due to COVID. She made the wedding planning decisions super easy and took away any stress or nerves I ever felt in regards to planning. I would be lost without her! She has amazing taste, is very well connected within the industry, is super sweet and always very responsive. I cannot recommend her enough

There are simply not enough words to give Stephanie all of the praise she deserves. My fiancé and I knew right away we wanted a wedding planner so we could fully enjoy our engagement and not be consumed with the unavoidable stress that comes with planning a wedding. We were not a couple that had a vision of what our dream wedding entailed and Stephanie was a pro in putting all of the design pieces together for us and making it truly ours. Our wedding was even featured on Style Me Pretty which was so exciting! There are so many behind the scenes tasks we'd never considered before and I can't tell you how many times we exclaimed "thank God for Stephanie!". She tackled every part of planning with efficiency and professionalism and we never had to question if we were dropping the ball on something. Without Stephanie's invaluable industry knowledge, we would have never been able to navigate through wedding planning so flawlessly on our own. We are forever grateful for her and the beautiful memories she's given us. We recommend her a million times over!

Stephanie was more than we could’ve ever asked for in a wedding planner! I’m so extremely grateful for her guidance, honest advice, professionalism, poise and patience, especially when she rescheduled our wedding to 2021 due to COVID-19. We honestly could not have done all of the planning, coordinating and rescheduling without her. Best decision we’ve made when it came to our wedding. I highly recommend her without any doubts!

Stephanie will make your wedding dreams come true, but most importantly, she will give you the freedom to live a full, rich, stress-free life--while simultaneously planning your perfect wedding! We hired Stephanie for full wedding planning services, and here are just a few of the many reasons why she is invaluable:

***Relationships with, and knowledge of, local wedding vendors: Stephanie knows everyone in the wedding industry in the D.C. area, and has established relationships with many of them. But the best part is that throughout our vendor selection process, she did not hand us a long list of potential vendors; Stephanie got to know us, and recommended a small, curated batch of highly regarded local vendors that she thought would best suite our tastes and needs. She saved us countless hours of researching and narrowing down lists of vendors.

***Refined taskmaster: Stephanie is the ultimate taskmaster, but not in a manner that is in any way overbearing. My husband and I both have demanding careers, and we needed help knowing where to focus our (limited) energies on wedding planning, and when. Stephanie subtly, artfully kept our wedding planning on track for nearly a year without ever nagging us. Stephanie gave us plenty of advance notice regarding upcoming decision points, did not ping us on things that she knew from professional experience were flexible, and helped us focus on one task at a time by clearly telling us what to prioritize, and when.

***Design expertise: Stephanie not only excels at managing processes, but she also is a skillful designer with exquisite taste. While the vendors ultimately brought our vision to life, Stephanie was the one to give the vendors something coherent to execute. She expertly took our jumbled thoughts and ideas and turned them into a design board with all of the colors and aesthetics we had in mind, all while providing us with valuable suggestions for linens, patterns, flowers, and other details that would fit our vision.

Stephanie gave me the wedding I'd always wanted without sacrificing all of my free time to wedding planning for a year. I was as close to a stress-free bride as they come, both throughout the year of planning and on the big day. In the end, our wedding exceeded all of my wildest expectations and was as close to flawless as I could have ever dreamed. Hire Stephanie!
