    The Absolute Best Wedding Planners in the DMV!

    I worked with Lynn and her team at the Finer Points through most of 2022 leading up to our wedding in Leesburg, VA in October 2022. Lynn's guidance and advice was invaluable. Lynn knows everyone in Leesburg, which made coordination between vendors so simple and stress-free! I always felt comfortable that Lynn and her team were on top of everything and would make sure our wedding day was perfect! Nicole D. was the on-site coordinator on our wedding day, and she was absolutely amazing! The Finer Points is the best of the best!

Lynn & Priscilla have years of experience in wedding/event planning and they make a fabulous team. In addition to being creative, professional, and organized, they are a pleasure to work with. This combination enables brides to know that everything will be handled properly in a stress-free manner. It is important to have a good working relationship during the wedding planning process, but the real assessments can't be made until after the wedding is over. As a floral preservationist, I have a unique perspective in that I get to hear how everything went at the wedding, usually within 24 hours of the event, when the flowers are dropped off for pressing. This is the time when the details are fresh in the minds of the brides and their families. The "day after" reviews that I hear from Lynn & Priscilla's clients are always glowing ones! They often comment on how things went so smoothly, what a pleasure they were to work with, and how they were able to thoroughly enjoy the day knowing that everything was being taken care of. One of my favorite comments was, "the day was perfect, and if anything did go wrong, I didn't know about it!"
