Work with them!

Lynn and the whole Finer Points team was amazing! We hired her as our wedding coordinator for our May, 2024 wedding at Murray Hill in Leesburg. From the first meeting, she was professional, gave helpful vendor recommendations, and the planning began! Throughout the few months that we worked with her, Lynn kept us on track for the months leading up to the wedding with a schedule that became essential in our planning and for the day of the wedding. She was great in communicating with all of our vendors, and was especially helpful with the caterer, which was such a big part of the planning. We couldn't imagine our wedding day without Lynn and Rachel from The Finer Points! They took control of the whole day and relived much of the burden that would've otherwise been on myself and family. Truly grateful!

Our wedding was a dream

The Finer Points was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Our venue required day of coordination and I’m so happy they did. The Finer Points from start to finish were spot on. We worked closely with the owner Lynn before the wedding. She helped with our scheduling and thought through all of our ideas. Then the week of Nicole Dukas took over as our lead coordinator. She gave our whole wedding party schedules the day before, led our rehearsal, and led our wedding the day of perfectly. From keeping the calm, designing a gorgeous space and even doing an alcohol run mid wedding she took care of everything!!! Would recommend to anyone!

Best. Decision. Ever.

Hiring Laura of The Finer Points was HANDS DOWN the best decision we made while planning our wedding. She is beyond fabulous!!! Completely professional, reliable, knowledgeable, trustworthy, patient, and an absolute joy to be around. Her vendor recommendations and planning skills were invaluable prior to the wedding. But what really sets her apart is her on-site management skills. She coordinated a thousand moving parts and people with seemingly effortless ease. The entire event was flawless, and we will forever be grateful to Laura for helping us make our dream wedding a reality.

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!"
