Thank you, Elizabeth!
I am a type-a personality, so I'm no stranger to detailed planning, but I knew it would benefit us to hire a wedding planner. That said, we didn't know HOW much it would benefit us until we did! If you are thinking of working with Elizabeth, I highly encourage you to have a conversation with her and (better yet) HIRE HER!
We worked with Elizabeth Langley from About Thyme Events over 2025 for our February 2026 wedding. We could not have asked for a more wonderful person to help with the planning and execution of our wedding. From the very beginning, Elizabeth was enthusiastic and warm but was also focused and realistic. She kept us grounded in our planning, with periodic check-ins to keep us on track. She was available for pop up questions via phone/email as we mused our options, always encouraging and thorough in her answers, yet mindful of our big picture budgetary constraints with vendors and the challenges of organizing a wedding with several international guests. She helped us focus on the pieces of the day that mattered to us and helped us see elements we could eliminate to enhance our guests' experience of the day.
Elizabeth kept our planning on track and always offered excellent, practical advice ranging from design suggestions to trusted local vendors (and some we had not considered in the Richmond & Gordonsville areas - we're based in Charlottesville). At our final walk through at the venue, we got a full sense of how Elizabeth worked confidently with vendor partners - her communication was clear, the plan was solid, and the mutual trust was evident. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, our lives absolutely went into overdrive - a perfect storm of unforeseen high-stakes work deadlines divided our attention away from the planning. Elizabeth had taken over vendor communication by this point, and it was a huge weight off of our shoulders knowing she was focused on our big day and the little (and big!) things that needed tending. But we largely don't know what those pieces were, because she was handling them!
With Elizabeth taking over our wedding-day logistics, we were able to focus on having the best night of our lives with friends and family. On the day, she met our needs so well - giving us (bride & groom) breaks when we didn't know we needed them, helping orchestrate vendors and guests through the timeline, and moving decor in our multi-level venue. But through it all, Elizabeth was not just a vendor helping us out. She was a friend who celebrated with us, and having her at our wedding was an incredible privilege. If you work with Elizabeth for your wedding, you will have someone who is highly competent, energetic, and organized. But you will also have someone who will share the joy of your wedding with you and will elevate the day as only a friend can.

Shannon Sent on 11/07/2024One of our best wedding decisions. You NEED to book Elizabeth!
Immediately after our first meeting, my husband and I looked at each other and gushed about how we were SO GLAD we hired Elizabeth. And this is coming from the man who 48 hours before didn't even know we had a wedding coordinator.
From the first time we spoke on the phone, I knew Elizabeth was all business, which was exactly what we needed. Logistically, our wedding was all over the place. Our venue would need to be completely set up day of, we had a million and one vendors, and our catering was a local restaurant that was inexperienced with wedding catering... and we didn't have a kitchen onsite. This would have been a total disaster without Elizabeth.
We hired her as a month-of coordinator, but the work started way before that. She met with our venue staff and asked so many questions we never would have thought to ask. She met with our catering (multiple times) and helped us iron out all the nitty gritty details, advised us to hire more staff (which we definitely needed) and pointed us to an amazing local company for it. She met with our rental company, helped design our layout, and made sure we were renting everything we needed. She helped negotiate pricing with our vendors and advised us what was industry norm. Leading up to the wedding, she coordinated with all of our vendors and made sure that everyone was aligned so that we didn't have to. We were trying to keep costs down (as much as you can with 200 guests) and she was always conscientious of that.
Day of, her and her team set up and decorated our venue for 200 guests. This included linens, table settings, centerpieces, catering set up, and all the decor that we had brought in. I arrived at 12pm for photos and I swear she was already done, it was crazy. We barely discussed how I wanted the decor set up, she said do you trust me and I said yes and she nailed it. The day was absolutely perfect, and if anything went wrong behind the scenes, we had no idea because Elizabeth handled it. She kept us on our timeline with gentle guidance and was somehow invisible the whole day but always there when we needed her.
On top of all of that, she is so kind, relatable, and hilarious. It was such a pleasure working with her and I would and will recommend her to any future brides. Thank you Elizabeth!! -

If we could leave a review for more than 5 stars, we would! Elizabeth is amazing. She was the picture of professionalism and competence throughout the entire wedding process. Friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, I am sure our wedding day wouldn't have been nearly as flawless without her help.
We hired her as a day-of wedding coordinator, but she was also immensely helpful with advice and suggestions in the weeks leading up to the wedding day. The day-of was even better, as Elizabeth had complete command of the schedule, kept all our vendors coordinated, made sure everything was set up beautifully, and even was an enormous help in packing everything up afterwards. It was truly an amazing night, in no small part thanks to Elizabeth.
If we could get married five more times just to work with Elizabeth again, I think we just might! -

Elizabeth made everything go so smoothly the day of our wedding!! We hired Elizabeth for the month-of coordinating service, so we began working with her a month before the wedding. Elizabeth immediately took everything off our hands and began contacting our vendors to organize the day for us. She drove all conversations with vendors, especially the ones that were not as communicative as we would have preferred. The day of the wedding she handled all issues that came up (I assume SOMETHING came up, but I never heard about it since she seriously handled it all). She checked in on us many times to ensure we had enough food/dessert and drinks, and if we needed anything whatsoever. She even got my husband's grandfather coffee from our venue owner's residence when she overheard him asking if coffee was available since we didn't have any with dessert. At the end of the night, she handled the clean-up and packaged our leftover food for us to take back to the hotel. The next day when we came to pick up the remaining items from the venue, everything was packaged together so efficiently and made that last pack-up task very quick and easy. Our parents have all commented on how much they appreciated her the day of the wedding- it definitely would not have been the perfect event it was without her! -

Elizabeth's help and support with our wedding was invaluable! Elizabeth helped me think through details I would have missed ahead of time, and allowed me to relax and enjoy my wedding day, flawlessly executing the plan we had discussed, AND adding special details, making it even better than I imagined. Elizabeth is focused and calm, which was so comforting and her styling was PERFECTION! -

Seriously don't know what I was thinking when I originally thought I could handle doing anything on my own the day I got married. As the day got closer and some unexpected turns for the worst happened (as they always do) I realized and admitted that I straight up needed help and I knew exactly who to ask! Elizabeth was a life saver. She is the perfect amount of calm and business in the chaos of figuring things out and making them happen beautifully. She had fantastic communication skills and was always two steps ahead of me in thinking about everything. On the day of, the stress was lifted and I could relax knowing she had it.
Not only was Elizabeth such a planning/coordinating guru she also just added so much to the vibe of the day itself. She has a great presence all her own. I felt so comfortable almost immediately with her and that's something you can't learn. She fit right in so perfectly to the flow and made it so easy. She made the day come off seamlessly. I can't recommend her enough. I'm in another part of the wedding industry and I get to see behinds the scenes a lot and I can say first hand that Elizabeth is wedding day gold and going to have an amazing career ahead of her. -

Look no further for the perfect wedding planner!
Hands down, without a doubt, the best decision I made for our wedding weekend was hiring Elizabeth as our wedding planner and day of coordinator. My husband and I were not local to the Charlottesville/Crozet area, we had to plan during COVID, and we also had the threat of a hurricane coming through the exact weekend of our wedding. Despite all of the challenges thrown our way, Elizabeth did not allow me to stress any of it! She immediately jumped on the phone with me any time she could sense I was getting anxious with new circumstances we had to deal with. She had a game plan for EVERYTHING – it was truly amazing to see her work through every little detail. Elizabeth managed all the walk-throughs with the vendors at our venue to help keep our travel to a minimum. She also handled the communications with every vendor in such a timely and professional manner. Elizabeth was able to capture exactly what I had envisioned for our wedding day, and not once did she have to come to me the day of. I put everything in her hands for our wedding weekend, and she did not disappoint. I can honestly say there is not one thing I would have asked to be done differently. There were no hiccups, and even our guests raved about how wonderful Elizabeth was. Elizabeth went above and beyond for us to ensure what I had envisioned for our big day came to life. She promised me she had everything under control and she absolutely delivered. I would recommend Elizabeth to any, and all, couples planning their wedding or other major event. She is the reason we had the wedding of our dreams!! -
