Amanda was our first and best wedding decision! Our day and vision could not have come to life without her. She really took to heart what we said at our first consultation on what we wanted for the day and kept it at the fore front throughout the 1.5 years we spent working with her. We were new to the DMV area and she helped us find and lock down great vendors to fill all of our very niche requests. Minimized day of stress on due to her thoughtful and meticulous planning and working with the timeline. Amanda is a part of our family now and will be using her and Urban Elegance again to celebrate our major life events .

Unforgettable experience
My fiance at the time and I were looking for a wedding coordinator. My sister in law recommended Urban Elegance namely Amanda as the point of contact. Upon our first meeting, it was important for Amanda to get to know our personalities and what our vision was for our wedding. She in turn used this information to create the wedding of our dreams. We are glad we chose Urban Elegance as Amanda was detail oriented, resourceful, mindful of our budget, and kept our desires in the fore front to create a wedding event to remember. My husband and I are pleased with how things turned out after a year of planning to include visits to venues, monthly meetings, consistent correspondence via phone, email and video calls.
On our wedding day, our guests described Amanda and her team as welcoming and professional. The ceremony as being filled with love and well organized. The reception as elegant, fun and just a joyous and celebratory atmosphere.
The culmination of planning because of Amanda resulted in such an unforgettable experience for us, our family and friends.

Hiring Urban Elegance is Hands Down The Best Decision We Made
When my now wife and I decided to move forward with our wedding, we knew exactly who we needed, Urban Elegance, to help make our nuptials epic. They did not disappoint. They actually exceeded expectations. Their experience, organization skills, attention to detail were top-notch. They also served as our bad cop and pit bull (vendors tried to rob you blind. Urban Elegance wasn’t having it.)
Anyone getting married, please hire Urban Elegance. I promise it will be the best decision you made.

Pleasure to work with!!
I am the catering manager at a venue and I worked with Amanda Dawson on a wedding celebration recently. Amanda was a pleasure to work with - she was fun yet professional, efficient, helpful, and she always provided us with information in a timely manner! The weekend of the wedding, we teamed up together to make sure the entire weekend was flawless for the couple!

Vendor Review
Working with Amanda to surprise her clients with drapes for their wedding was an incredible experience. Amanda expressed how much her clients deserved to have a beautiful wedding ceremony. She indeed went above and beyond to make their day special. Amanda was clear and concise with her vision for the ceremony. Her professionalism, dedication, and company produced a pleasant work environment for us at Drape Kings. I enjoyed working with Amanda and the Urban Elegance team and look forward to working with them again in the future.

Amazing Professional Wedding Planning Experience!!
Working with Amanda and Nikki of Urban Elegance was nothing short of amazing! I couldn't ask for anything more in a wedding planner in providing a professional experience for a client from beginning to end. Urban Elegance introduced themselves to me months prior before our wedding to ensure that I was in good hands and they ensured planning a timely wedding day allowing for a beautiful setup, ceremony and reception design and solid communication up until and after the event to tend to any needs to provide a flawless and memorable experience. I highly recommend Urban Elegance to anyone looking for a professional event planning that will go above and beyond all expectations!!

Say YES to Urban Elegance!
My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Amanda and Nikki of Urban Elegance as our Wedding Coordinators. As I am typing this review, words cannot truly express how amazing these ladies are, but I will do my absolute best in hopes that you will either hire them or refer them to your family or friends.
To say that I am very picky and hard to please is an understatement but here I am singing the praises of Urban Elegance. From day one, with the consultation they remained professional, organized, resourceful and responsive. To have successfully planned ANY event during the COVID pandemic, without missing a beat says a lot! These ladies not only pivoted quickly to ensure that they operated within the CDC guidelines, but they also kept us a step ahead of potential changes needed for our event.
The budget spreadsheet, vendor recommendations, contract reviews, planning sessions and keen attention to detail made all the difference and was definitely a stress reliever! Urban Elegance over exceeded our expectations, our wedding day was PERFECT!
