Thanks Betsy!
Betsy was wonderful with our wedding planning! She was fun, helpful, responsive, and thought of so many details we hadn't. She was very invested in our vision and those early meetings were essential to talking through all the moving parts. Having her help really made the planning process and the day of the wedding low stress. She was helpful and supportive with brainstorming and any changes we wanted. Her timeline was perfect and I knew we were in good hands for everything to come together smoothly. We could not have done this without her! Betsy is really sweet and experienced and it was all around a pleasure to work with her. She recommended some great vendors too that we loved working with. Her genuine excitement for our big day showed in all the work and details she put in. Thanks again for making our special day come together beautifully! -

Best wedding planner ever!!
Ms. Betsy is such an amazing outstanding wedding planner! She went above and beyond for us and always kept everything together!! We couldn’t have asked for a better person to help us with our wedding planning. She truly cares about you and your dream and seeing it come to light!! If you need vendors she knows how to find them she has her list of her own vendors she has worked and also will work with vendors of your choosing. She will always be apart of our family and we love her so much! If you need a wedding planner look no further Ms. Betsy is the perfect one!! Thank you again for everything we could not have done this with you!!! -

A happy and low-stress day
Betsy handled everything with kindness, efficiency, and a personal touch. Our wedding was out-of-town, so we really needed planner local to the DC area. She helped us make plans, find vendors, manage the event, and just everything we could ask for. For us the wedding was just a happy day with no stress. -

Highly Recommend!
Betsy is the best! She did a wonderful job helping us plan our micro-wedding. Betsy is very organized, setting up meetings to keep our planning on track and making sure we thought of all the details. She was such a friendly person to work with and very quick and responsive to all our questions, guiding us through the process. Betsy took care of everything the week of the wedding, including last minute weather adjustments, letting us enjoy a stress-free week. Our wedding day was everything we could have hoped for and more, and Betsy helped make that vision happen! We can’t recommend Betsy enough!! -

Would recommend to other couples
Betsy was helpful during the wedding planning process. She was responsive when we had questions and proactively set up multiple calls and meetings to keep us on track. She recommended a full range of excellent vendors (caterer, photographer, DJ, hair/makeup, and florist.) She helped with many aspects of the wedding process, and we would recommend Betcom to other couples. -

Best Wedding Planner You Could Ever Ask For!
I’m not usually the type who writes reviews, but Betsy Lanning, of Betcom Weddings & Events did such an amazing job with my son’s wedding, I feel compelled to write this! Every detail of the wedding was anticipated and executed with precision. Betsy thought of everything. And she listened to the bride & groom and their ideas. She made their visions come to life, and offered expertise & direction when they needed it…all the time keeping the budget in check. Her vendor recommendations were the best, and saved us money, too. She considered our budget and the couple’s vision for their big day, and wove it into such a beautiful event. No mishaps or unanticipated problems. All we had to do was show up and celebrate the joy!
I’ve learned that a great wedding planner more than pays for itself, by avoiding costly mistakes and having the right vendors in the first place. If you are looking for a competent, reasonably priced planner, I strongly recommend Betsy Lanning, of Betcom Weddings & Events!! -

Wonderful!
Betsy was incredible! She was such a resource throughout our wedding planning from helping us find an amazing caterer to liaising and helping us organize the timing of our special day. She is also just a joy to work with and is so kind to her couples! We could not have had such an incredible wedding without all of her help! She loves what she does and it really shows! -

Wedding was a beautiful forest experience out of a fairy tale
I can't recommend Betsy highly enough. The entire wedding planning process was mostly painless, in large part because Betsy helped to handle everything behind the scenes. From music to food to decorations, Betsy either knew off hand who to contact or quickly found people to suit our needs. It went off perfectly and I can't recommend her highly enough. -

Hire Betsy if you want a perfect wedding
Betsy is the DREAM wedding planner! She has a killer vendor referral list, is highly organized, reliable, and so fun to be around. We worked with Betsy for 8 months leading up to our wedding and enjoyed every minute of it. We had no idea what we were doing and she guided us through every step, including helping us prioritize when things could have easily gotten overwhelming. She also knew our budget and helped us pick vendors and make decisions that kept costs manageable. In the days leading up to the wedding, we could rest easy knowing that things were in Betsy's extremely capable hands. Our wedding itself was absolutely perfect and every vendor Betsy recommended was a rock star who gave 110% on our big day. We cannot recommend Betsy enough. We only wish we'd found her sooner! -

Betsy is great!
We hired Betsy Lanning as a planning consultant and coordinator for our wedding and she was fantastic! As a planning consultant, she helped kick-start our planning process by laying out the vendors we should lock down early and introducing us to contacts she has worked with before and recommends. We ended up exclusively hiring vendors that Betsy recommended, and every one of them was excellent. Betsy met with us over zoom six times from December 2021 through July 2022 as our planning consultant per our contract, helping keep us on schedule as we made our arrangements. She was responsive to our questions via email and her involvement early on in the planning process helped ensure that we were well positioned going into the month leading up to our wedding.
One month out from our wedding date, Betsy's role transitioned from planning consultant to wedding coordinator, which involved weekly zoom meetings with us, in-person meetings for the venue walkthrough and rehearsal, and frequent calls with our various vendors. She produced a master timeline of all events from the day prior to clean-up at the end of the event, and did a great job keeping everyone on schedule. Betsy is wonderful to work with, asks lots of questions to ensure the couple gets exactly what they want, and communicates well with vendors to keep everyone on the same page. It was so much less stressful knowing that we were in good hands and could really enjoy our day (which went perfectly!).
We absolutely recommend Betsy as a wedding coordinator for any event that involves keeping a number of different vendors on schedule, and additionally recommend her as a planning consultant for those who need a little bit of extra help getting started with the advanced planning. -

Besty is the one!
I would definitely recommend Betsy! Look no further. She was organized, reliable, and communicated everything in a clear concise manner.
Her experience was very obvious throughout this entire experience. She clued us on to vendors, she reviewed the contracts and answered all our questions throughout the entire process.
What would be an extremely stressful process turned out not to be the case! Her goal was to make sure the wedding proceeded without hiccups and that we enjoyed the event and didn't have to worry about anything.
Definitely, Betsy is the way to go! -

Book Betsy today! The best decision you will make for your wedding! (aside from your fiance!)
Wow. Where do I begin with Betsy. I consider myself BEYOND fortunate to have been able to work with her. From the beginning, she transformed the whole process of planning a wedding from being this intimidating ball of stress to something attainable and fun to plan. First up: vendors. She hand picked 2-3 DJs, caterers, photographers, and florists for me to talk to. Each one was better the next. She only recommends fantastic people that she has a great experience working with. Huge time saver taking out the guess work of where to begin with vendors!
Throughout the process, she is generous with her time. She makes sure you stay on track without stressing you out. She thinks of everything! She’ll proofread all your contracts, and fight for you to get even more! She’ll look over your wedding invitations, insert cards, etc and give thoughtful feedback. She has no ego and just wants to point everything out, but in the end makes you feel confident in all your decisions, because at the end of the day, it’s YOUR day.
I managed to secure her exactly 1 year out. She later told me she was contacted a number of times for my date, but nope — I had her. Unlike other wedding planners that book multiple weddings in a day, she’ll only book one wedding a day — so that means ALL of her focus will be on you.
I joked that I need to get married again so I can work with her again ;).
But seriously stop reading this review and book her right now if you want a wedding planner who is fun to talk to, easy to work with, and will ensure you have the perfect day! -

Outstanding in every way
I cannot say enough about the pleasure of working with Betsy Lanning. My extremely competent daughter handled most of the wedding preparations, and I know she relied heavily on Betsy’s support, advise, and expertise in dealing with some difficult situations. As the mother of the bride, I was included in correspondence toward the end, and found her delightful to know and work with. I was most impressed by her on the day of the wedding. She soothed, directed and organized us all (we were not all in the right place at the right time) with a calmness she cannot always have felt, and did everything with great good humor. One of our guests commented on her own experience with an officious wedding coordinator who spent the day ordering everyone around. Betsy was exactly the opposite, always gently herding us into our proper places and making sure we all enjoyed the day. She was wonderful, and I cannot imagine having pulled a wedding off without her. I never worried that it would be anything other than a beautiful wedding day under her direction, and it was. -

Wedding and reception
Betsy was a real pleasure to work with while we were planning our wedding. We started the wedding planning process a little later than usual, but she had a full stable of recommended vendors that came through for us. Even as the wedding date drew close, Betsy remained unflappable and kept smiling -- focused on making sure that we had the best time possible on our special day. -

Betsy is amazing!
Betsy Lanning was highly recommended to me by the event manager at my wedding venue. From the first phone call I had with her, I knew she was “the one” for me and my vision for my big day! My (now) husband and I learned very quickly that we were in good, loving hands with Betsy. Betsy brought priceless experience to the table, was just as detail-oriented as I when it came down to the little details that probably only, she and I were going to notice, and most importantly, she was always clear that she was all about us. She took so much care in making sure she knew our vision and was so great at coordinating our vendors to ensure we got what we wanted on our wedding day! I knew I could completely trust her, and my husband will say, throughout our entire 11 months of wedding planning, I was the least overwhelmed in those last eight weeks leading up to our wedding because I knew I had my Betsy. There is not one moment that went by that I didn’t recognize how incredibly lucky I was to have her as my day-of coordinator. What is most special about her, is how genuinely invested she is in her work of love. We had such a special connection with her throughout our time working together and after, and I truly do not know what we would have done without her. We thank you, Betsy, for your dedication to us so that we were able to completely enjoy one of the best days of our lives. You are absolutely the best! -

Above and beyond and more - OUTSTANDING!
We don’t know how we could have pulled off a wedding in 10 weeks without Betsy! From the minute we met her, we knew we were in calm, experienced and caring hands. She immediately understood the fun, low-key and meaningful wedding we wanted to have and embraced the type of people we are. She is not only incredibly organized but quadruple checks everything - we knew that nothing would be left to chance and her coordination with the vendors would be thorough.
Betsy alleviated so much stress from our lives and handled the normal wedding planning bumps along the way that arose with grace, diplomacy and warmth. She is incredibly responsive, even when on vacation, in all of her communications. There were a few times when we felt like our wedding vision was getting lost in what others wanted, and each time, Betsy was there to fix things and keep our dreams of our wedding alive.
We can’t even count the number of times that Betsy went above and beyond to ensure that we were happy and calm throughout the entire planning process and wedding day. All of our family and friends loved her, especially our parents who she made sure were well taken care of during the wedding.
We honestly can’t sing her praises enough and any couple would be incredibly lucky to have Betsy Lanning as their wedding coordinator! -
