10/10 - highly recommend!

We had the pleasure of hiring Vida Events (specifically Risse) to coordinate the day of our wedding. The lead up and execution of our wedding couldn't have been more flawless and relaxing. Risse and her team went above and beyond our expectations. Their responsiveness to our questions and concerns was spectacular! Anyone who is hosting a wedding in the DMV, definitely hire Vida Events (and ask for Risse!) 10/10 recommend and worth EVERY PENNY!!

Made out wedding planning & day so easy!

We cannot recommend Risse enough! From the very beginning, she made our wedding planning experience so much easier and stress-free. Her attention to detail was incredible—she worried about every little thing so we could focus on enjoying our special day. Risse was always available to answer our questions and provided invaluable guidance throughout the entire process. Her creativity and organization truly brought our vision to life, and her calm demeanor kept us at ease, even during the most hectic moments (including a runaway dog). Thanks to Risse, we were able to relax and savor every moment of our wedding day. If you're looking for a planner who genuinely cares about her clients and goes above and beyond, Risse is the one! Thank you, Risse, for making our day absolutely perfect!

The best investment!

Where to begin! From the first conversations with Megan, we knew she/Vida Events was the best wedding planner choice we could make. As a chronic “planner” with little knowledge on where to start when it comes to wedding planning (a scary combination for me!) it was important that our planner be organized, knowledgeable, and willing to field my many questions to help us make our vision come to life. Megan did just that, and made the process FUN amidst all the to-do’s. She helped us navigate the many vendor selections/contracts/planning convos, absolutely rocked the event design, and took so much stress off us and our families— all with a patience, honesty, and professionalism I can’t highlight enough.

I strongly recommend Vida Events to all couples planning their wedding — not only for the tactical planning piece, but the emotional support and encouragement as well.
