We did the 90-day event management service with Terry Kaye Events. At the 90 day mark Kelsey reached out to us and from that day forward the wedding planning process became a breeze. Every question or concern we had Kelsey was on top of it and finding out what we could do to accomplish what we wanted. Then the day of the wedding, Kelsey was a complete Rockstar. From getting people where they needed to be, to coordinating all the vendors and even getting refunds for us for missed items. She took away every bit of stress we had on the wedding day and it allowed us to enjoy our most perfect day.

I don't think I could recommend Terry Kaye Events and specifically Kelsey enough. The price is completely worth the service. I will be telling every single one of my friends who have weddings in the area to look into Terry Kaye Events.

For our daughter's wedding Terry took all the stress out of wedding planning and made the event itself absolutely perfect. She is extremely thorough, professional, thoughtful and her generous personality makes her the perfect person to be in the wedding planning business. It is because of her that we all had the most beautiful and fun wedding weekend we could have imagined.

Terry truly was the most thoughtful, professional, and stress-relieving glue that made our whole wedding stay together! Our vision was unique. She sought to understand it well, and she made it come to life better than either of us could have ever imagined! From the moment we started planning with her, I knew we were in good hands. Nothing ever seemed too much for her, we knew she would make it happen- whether it was coordinating live lambs at our cocktail hour or filling our indoor reception with lush trees, it all came to life! Wedding planning can be stressful, and moments when I didn’t know what to say or what decision to make, I knew that Terry would help. I trusted her to walk through it with us or make the call for us in times when I felt overwhelmed. She never made us feel rushed or pressured, and her communication was extremely clear. The day-of is where she truly shined! She was hands on all day and had everything taken care of. She is the perfect mixture of confident, kind, nurturing, and fun! I wish I could do it again just to work with her! She is top tier, professional, personable, and truly the best wedding planner we could have ever had.

Working with Terry Kaye was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From start to finish, she was uber organized, attentive, and an absolute joy to work with.
Terry made the entire planning process feel effortless. She was always available for calls and emails, no matter how many questions we had — and there were a lot! Every detail was handled with care and professionalism. She kept us perfectly on track with timelines, checklists, and reminders, which made the months leading up to our wedding completely stress-free.
One of the things we appreciated most was Terry’s expert advice and eye for detail when it came to setting up the space. She thought through every element — from food stations and bar placement to musician setup and guest flow — making sure everything worked together seamlessly. The result was a layout that looked beautiful and functioned perfectly for our guests.
Thanks to Terry, our wedding day was exactly how we wanted it. We even had some challenges with our caterer, but we had no idea until after the wedding because Terry picked up the slack and took care of it. She truly went above and beyond in making sure that she was able to cover where they fell short.
We can’t recommend Terry Kaye enough! If you’re looking for a planner who is organized, creative, communicative, and genuinely cares about making your day perfect, she is the one. Terry was not only our impressive wedding planner, but I now call her a friend.

Hello all!

This is a very delayed review from our perfect wedding over memorial day weekend this May 2025. Where do I start? Terry planned everything with our wonderful sister-in-law Maria and it was start to finish perfect. We had a small wedding in Marshall VA at a beautiful venue that happened to be a historic farmhouse of our sisters. Terry took charge. We both live 5 hours from Marshall VA and I am a physician and my husband is a weapons security trainer for Navy nuclear lab, each working 60 plus hours a week, plus children. We let Terry with Maria helping plan our weekend of celebration. Family stayed in the beautiful farmhouse Friday and Saturday was a Fiesta themed rehearsal dinner. I've attached a few pictures. Again, this was all Terry's idea fully equipped with live food stations and build-our-own burrito taco bar-with rice, grilled fajita veggies, chicken and steak and of course guacamole. Also, a fully stocked margarita bar with our own personal creative bartender. The tent in the pictures itself was gorgeous! All I had to worry about was talking with friends and family for the rehearsal. Colorful dresses were worn and smiles throughout the night!!

The day of delivery Saturday am Terry was present the entire day. She oversaw setup and even noticed one piece of this tent did not match. Oh boy, without two hours, the matching piece was delivered! The ceremony was off a staircase that led into a field overlooking a specular farm. Terry made sure the chairs, seating, and flowers were perfect for the seen. Full disclosure: I am not a good designer, decorator, or into fashion much. I had no idea how to start from square one. No need to worry ladies and gents! She's got it! We did a tasting 2 months prior with Black garlic (listed below) and yes Terry was present. She was present ALLLL weekend over Memorial Day and fielding phone calls and questions. Her demeanor is always very calm and soothing, and direct. A woman with answers! The flowers, food, ceremony, and reception were perfect. Also, I had a catastrophe. Somehow during pictures prior to the ceremony, grease appeared covering the end of my wedding dress. She was on it. I am just so appreciative of Terry and Kristen (photographer listed below) and Black garlic and DJ (also listed below). I literally could not have asked for a more special, free-flowing, overjoyed night. God Bless her and her wonderful family and thank you for making mine become one.

Sincerely
Dr.Marcia Haught

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Terry Kaye Events! Terry stepped in at the last minute after our previous arrangements fell through and immediately made us feel organized, supported, and back on track. Her warm and kind personality put us at ease, yet she knew exactly when to be assertive with vendors and family to keep everything running smoothly and keep the timeline on track.

Her communication style was consistently clear, calm, and reassuring, which helped us feel grounded throughout the entire process. Everyone felt relaxed after meeting her and knew we were in capable hands. Her support allowed us to be fully present on our wedding day at Stone Tower Winery in August and focus on making unforgettable memories as newlyweds.

She was always responsive to questions (big or small) and her attention to detail was impeccable. On the wedding day, her team was top-notch, ensuring that everything flowed seamlessly so we could truly enjoy every moment.
As a bride, I enjoyed the resources and prep tools she provided and advice on how to streamline all aspects of our event. She empowered us to make decisions that felt like “us”, while providing enough input to build our confidence to execute the vision.

We are so grateful for Terry and her team for turning what could have been a stressful situation into a joyful, smooth, and beautifully organized experience. It is always an honor to work with someone who is truly an expert in their field.

Terry and her team at Terry Kaye Events (TKE) were absolutely amazing to work with, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Nicole. From the very beginning, Nicole was incredibly organized, calm, and thorough, which immediately made us feel comfortable and confident throughout the planning process. She helped us seamlessly navigate working with our other vendors, offered thoughtful design ideas, and made sure every detail was handled with care. Her communication was always timely and responsive and she would spend time with us over Zoom or over the phone walking through the timeline and other important items. Ultimately, she truly became our biggest supporter from start to finish.

On the wedding day itself, Nicole’s presence was invaluable. She kept everything running smoothly and stress-free, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy the celebration without worrying about logistics. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and calming energy made all the difference, and we are endlessly grateful to her and the entire TKE team. If you’re looking for a planner who is not only incredibly skilled and organized but also genuinely cares about you and your vision, I cannot recommend Terry Kaye Events enough. They made our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more!

Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming at first, but from the moment I met Terry, I felt at ease. What drew me to her initially was her incredible sense of style and design and I knew I wanted that to shine throughout our day. Guest experience was so important to us, and with her guidance we had the bright pops of color, gorgeous flowers, and an amazing band we had envisioned.

Terry is so easy to talk to! It honestly feels like chatting with a friend who just wanted the best for us. She brings with her a trusted list of vendors and thoughtful suggestions, which we really appreciated. Beyond her creativity, she’s a natural leader with a calm, steady presence that set us up for success from start to finish.

On our wedding day at the Birkby House in Leesburg, the weather radar showed a storm heading straight for us right at ceremony time. Terry immediately presented us with options, explaining the pros and cons without adding stress. Her smile, positivity, and calm confidence helped me stay grounded in the joy of the day, no matter what happened.

After interviewing half a dozen planners, Terry rose to the top. She exceeded our expectations in every way, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Terry Kaye and her planners are consummate professionals. They are organized and level-headed. They gave excellent advice and recommendations when we asked for that. They helped us have the wedding we wanted to have. We appreciate them so much, especially our day-of coordinator Kelsey Cariddi, and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone.

Terry Kaye Events was wonderful to work with and we highly recommend for other people to use for their wedding! Terry was helpful from the beginning with giving us recommendations for vendors, and we worked with Kelsey for our wedding day. Kelsey was beyond helpful and really made sure our wedding day was seamless! Very communicative via email and would give great suggestions to help our day be as smooth as possible.
