We had our wedding at Larz Anderson House in DC last week. It is a historic, luxury estate with strict rules, and a limited number of preferred caterers. That’s how we found Aprill, who served as our day-of coordinator! She came highly recommended by our catering team and had lots of experience with the venue. She provided recommendations for other vendors and as the wedding drew closer we worked together to iron out of the logistics. You can tell she is thorough and experienced. We had hoped for an outdoor event, but she helped us pivot several aspects of the night for the rain plan and held out as long as she could before making the decision to move us inside. We had 115 guests and she managed the crowd and the other vendors with right balance of politeness and decisiveness. Many people commented on her hustle. Her and her team also did small things that did not go unnoticed. They chose to wear outfits that fit the dress code and wedding colors and also took lots of behind the scenes content which was such a cute surprise! My husband and I would happily hire her again!

If we could give April more than five stars, we absolutely would.

From the moment we started working with her, we knew we were in the best hands. Her professionalism, attention to detail, organization, and calm demeanor made the entire planning process and wedding day feel effortless. She anticipated needs before they arose, kept everything running on schedule, and allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every single moment.

One of the best pieces of advice she gave us was to replace our original white linens with beautiful printed linens. She was absolutely right—they elevated the entire room and added so much elegance to the reception. It's just one example of her incredible eye for design and experience.

When I arrived at the venue and noticed the chair cushions were white instead of the black ones we had planned, I started to panic. April immediately reassured me, reminded me to focus on what truly mattered, and within minutes I was completely at ease. Looking back, she was right. Everything looked absolutely beautiful.

She also helped coordinate one of the most meaningful moments of our wedding—a surprise performance by my favorite singer. She handled every detail flawlessly while keeping the surprise completely under wraps. It was one of the most unforgettable moments of our lives, and we know it took an incredible amount of planning behind the scenes to make it happen.

Beyond her incredible talent, April is simply a wonderful person. She is warm, gracious, classy, stylish, and has such a calming presence. Having her by our side throughout this journey was one of the best decisions we made.

If you're looking for someone who will treat your wedding as if it were her own, who will advocate for you, guide you, calm your nerves, and execute every detail flawlessly, look no further. We cannot recommend April highly enough.

Thank you, April, for making the happiest day of our lives even more beautiful than we ever imagined. We will always be grateful.

I truly cannot say enough thank yous or rave enough about Aprill! Our wedding day went so smoothly, and it was all thanks to Aprill and Tulle and Tinsel. We had the best night imaginable, and Aprill, along with the vendors she worked with, made my vision come to life.
When I first saw the reception space, my jaw honestly dropped. Every single detail was perfect, and it felt even more special knowing how much care and thought went into bringing everything together. The whole evening felt so intimate and warm.
I also want to say how much I appreciated working with Aprill throughout this entire process. She was so patient with me, even when my planning process felt a little chaotic, and I’m incredibly grateful for that. some of my reception decisions were nontraditional (it’s not every day you get asked to make an 80 person U-shaped kings table layout!) but she never made me feel like I had to compromise on my vision or what I wanted. Aprill always stuck with me, and gently pushed me on details and decisions when I was lagging behind or feeling indecisive. Her invaluable expertise helped us every step of the way and her guidance was such an important part of why our wedding day went as smoothly and beautifully as it did. It was truly such a joy to work with her, and I’m so thankful for everything she did to make our day so special!!!

We enjoyed every aspect of working with Aprill on our big day. Leading up to our big day, Aprill was able to work with all of our vendors, create a timeline that felt comfortable to us and thought of all the small things so that we did not have to worry. On the day of our wedding, Aprill went above and beyond to set up our small items and make sure everything went seamless and perfect for us, our family and friends. She brought our vision to life and we could not be more grateful for her help throughout the wedding process. Highly recommend her!

We hired Aprill as our wedding planner through a reference and found her services to be one of the best investments in our wedding! We worked with her for about 16 months in preparation for our wedding and she walked with us through the entire wedding process including (but not limited to) finding a venue, coordinating bridesmaid dress colors, and trying to help me find my lost veil! She is extremely knowledgeable about the wedding industry as well as design and organized with our ceremony and reception. She made our vision come to life in a way that I was not even expecting and it was the most wonderful day.

Aprill and her assistant did a wonderful job during the day of our wedding making sure we were comfortable as well as had adequate water and food throughout the day. She also helped in the aftermath of the wedding with issues such as a my lost veil and an incorrect cake design. We often were asked if we were stressed out about the wedding planning but Aprill made our journey so stress free! Definitely recommend hiring her!

Aprill is without a doubt the most outstanding planner I have ever worked with. Aprill worked with us for almost a year to plan our wedding reception. What she orchestrated was beyond what I ever could have imagined. She has a deep understanding of design, color, and the wedding industry and incredible relationships with a multitude of vendors, making coordination, planning, and the event itself flow seamlessly. Aprill always puts your budget first and throughout the planning process was 100% transparent about pricing and how we could adjust up or down to meet both our wants, needs, and how much we were realistically able to spend. She respects her clients’ time, and was so flexible in planning calls, meetings, and site visits around our rigid work schedules. On the day of our wedding, she took care of so many things I never would have thought of or been able to do- she made an additional boutonnière quite literally on the spot in my hotel room for my brother’s partner, she transported so many tough to carry items to the venue for us, she snagged my husband and I gelato and brought it to us on the dance floor before it ran out, and was so attentive to all of our last-minute needs. I know there are so many, many more things she took care of that went unnoticed because she is that good! Don’t hesitate to hire Aprill for whatever you may be planning- you can trust that she will get it right :)

From the moment we began planning our wedding, Aprill was an absolute dream to work with. When doing research, I was immediately captivated by her previous weddings—each one a stunning display of creativity and elegance. I knew right then that she was the planner who could truly understand my vision.
From our very first meeting, I felt an instant connection with Aprill. She not only grasped my desire for a colorful and playful wedding but also shared my passion for creating something sophisticated and luxurious. It was such a relief to find someone who could articulate my ideas even before I fully expressed them. Every meeting with Aprill was a joy; she made it feel less like planning and more like chatting with a friend who genuinely cared about our special day.
Aprill's warmth and kindness created a comfortable environment where I felt free to ask any questions. She was always ready with insightful feedback and offered guidance that made me feel confident in our choices. Her attention to detail was remarkable—being a Type A person myself, I appreciated how she was always a step ahead, ensuring everything aligned with our vision. I never once doubted that we could count on her; her professionalism and respect for our wishes shone through every interaction.
Two standout qualities that set Aprill apart are her exceptional design talent and her incredible management skills. She has an extraordinary gift for design; she possesses an artist's eye and a deep understanding of all the components of design at play. Our design meetings were a blast, filled with her unique ideas that transformed our wedding vision into reality. Thanks to her recommendations, we assembled a top-notch vendor team that contributed to the magic of our day.
As the wedding approached, Aprill's organizational skills truly came to the forefront. She handled all the logistics with grace and ease, turning what could have been a stressful experience into a seamless journey. Any time I felt nervous, she was there to reassure me, effortlessly alleviating my worries.
When I walked into the venue on the big day, it felt surreal to see how all the pieces came together so flawlessly. The colors danced beautifully, and the elegance of the florals took my breath away. I still find myself in disbelief that this was my wedding—truly a perfect, magazine-worthy affair that felt like a fairytale come to life. I was obsessed and in love with every element.
I’m so grateful that Aprill managed everything behind the scenes with such finesse that we remained blissfully unaware of any hiccups. She made sure our day was nothing short of magical. We had the best night of our lives, all thanks to her hard work and dedication.
I could go on forever about how incredible Aprill is. She is one of a kind, and I will forever cherish the memories of working with her. If you’re looking for a wedding planner, you absolutely need to hire Aprill—she is the GREATEST of all time! There’s no one better in the industry! Thank you, Aprill, for everything!!!

We cannot recommend Aprill enough for anyone seeking a wedding planner in DC! From the moment we began planning our September wedding, Aprill was instrumental in bringing our vision to life. Her creativity and attention to detail transformed our ideas into a stunning reality.

Aprill took all the stress out of the planning process, allowing us to enjoy each moment leading up to our big day. She managed everything with such grace and responsibility, expertly wrangling family dynamics and coordinating logistics seamlessly. Her kindness and support made her not just a planner, but a true confidant throughout the journey.

On the day of our wedding, Aprill went above and beyond, ensuring that everything was perfect down to the tiniest detail. It was truly the day of our dreams, and we’re so grateful for her hard work and dedication. We were able to focus on having fun while Aprill was navigating everything and making sure it all fell into place.

Now that our wedding is over, I’m excited to count Aprill as a friend. If you're looking for a wedding planner who is professional, creative, and genuinely caring, look no further than Aprill. She is simply the best and will make sure that you have the perfect stress free wedding of your dreams.

Aprill was by far the best decision we made in our teams of vendors. From the moment we had our initial meeting her expertise in wedding design and coordination shined through. She expertly managed every vendor, provided beautiful design expertise, created flawless timelines, and guided us through the venue walkthrough. Her planning meetings were not only thorough but also incredibly enjoyable, ensuring we felt supported and informed every step of the way. We had a few weather related challenges on our wedding day and she handled them with calmness and was able to pivot quickly numerous times. Her assistant Dolly was also amazing, she truly made me feel like she cared about my wedding day and was by my side throughout the whole day. I didn't feel like just another client, Aprill truly is passionate about what she does and it shows.

I highly recommend a top notch external planner/coordinator. I trusted her to bring my Bridgerton vision to life and she did just that! Thanks to Aprill and despite all of the challenges, our wedding was a stunning success, exceeding all our expectations. On my wedding day she made me feel like my happiness was her number one priority. She efficiently communicated with my bridal party to let them know what to expect and to ensure that they were also comfortable. I received compliments throughout the night about how stellar she was. If looking for a wedding planner who is both professional and passionate, look no further and hire Tulle and Tinsel events. Working with Aprill was an absolute dream come true! She is the best of the best.

Aprill is an exceptional planner and true delight to be around! We were so fortunate to have her as our wedding planner. She was referred to us by our wedding photographer, and our initial impressions were overwhelmingly positive. She was welcoming and genuinely excited to work with us, which made us feel at ease from the start. Neither of us had many ideas about how we wanted the wedding to unfold. We had some general thoughts and two colors, but that was about it. Aprill transformed those tidbits into a full color palette and aesthetic, including beautiful tablescapes, and worked with our florist to create stunning floral arrangements and greenery. She always had multiple vendor recommendations and took charge of coordinating all the specific details between vendors and our venue, especially in the final weeks leading up to the wedding.

Throughout the process, she was always easily accessible. We always knew exactly what she was working on, and she was incredibly responsive to our needs. She understood when we had busy weeks and gave us the space we needed, but as the wedding date approached she kept us on track with gentle reminders and "homework". Her professionalism was evident in every interaction, and her organizational skills were outstanding. Wedding planning can be stressful, but she left us feeling more at ease after each meeting.

On the day of the wedding, everything went smoothly, thanks to her meticulous preparation. The timeline left us with plenty of breathing room, and no stress beyond normal nerves. We felt confident everything had been thought of and handled. Aprill and her assistant made sure that every detail was accounted for, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy our special day. We honestly cannot think of anything that could have gone better and can genuinely say what every couple hopes for--the entire day was perfect.

April exceeded our expectations in every way from her airtight organization skills to her contagious warmth and energy. She made us feel like we were her only clients and personalized the wedding to reflect our personalities. We highly recommend Aprill to any couple who wants every detail of their wedding addressed with precision, care, and fun.
