Anjie Henry/Blue Canary Events
Don't think twice-hire Anjie now! She is amazing. Truly couldn't have imagined the day without her and her help. Not only is she fantastic at her job, she is a wonderful person! She went above and beyond what her job entailed. You need Anjie!!Don't think twice-hire Anjie now! She is amazing. Truly couldn't have imagined the day without her and her help.

Rebecca was great to work with
Blue Canary, specifically Rebecca O'Donnell, were great to work with and extremely helpful while we navigated rescheduling our wedding due to COVID. Rebecca always had helpful advice and recommendations when we were stuck and had no idea what we were doing. She was on top of all the little details that we hadn't even thought of (who knew you needed a cake cutting song). Day of, she made sure everything ran smoothly and on time. There is no way things would have gone as well as they did without her assistance. We would recommend her to all of our family and friends.Blue Canary, specifically Rebecca O'Donnell, were great to work with and extremely helpful while we navigated rescheduling our wedding due to COVID.

Blue Canary/Anjie is the BEST!
If your budget allows for a coordinator, you will NOT regret going with Blue Canary and if you can get Anjie, even better. She truly is the VIP! We hired her as a month-of coordinator, but then the pandemic hit and we postponed twice. She helped us with so many things over the 2-year planning process, in addition to coordinating with our vendors the month before. When our wedding day finally arrived, Anjie ran our rehearsal, then took care of all of the little details on our wedding day - including setting up and taking down all of the decor, bringing us drinks, having us stay on track with timing and being on top of every little thing. She is truly amazing! AND I didn't see her get flustered once, I mean wow. She took care of everything, which allowed us to really sit back and enjoy. We couldn't be more thankful for her and her services!!!If your budget allows for a coordinator, you will NOT regret going with Blue Canary and if you can get Anjie, even better.

Great experience with Rebecca O'Donnell
Our wedding was a fusion of two cultures - South Indian and American. Rebecca held it all together across our many vendors, kept the whole event moving in a timely manner and held true to our requests, even if other vendors forget. Would completely recommend her over & over again!Our wedding was a fusion of two cultures - South Indian and American.

Wow! We Couldn't Be More Impressed!
My daughter's wedding was at Mt. Harmon Plantation, a beautiful historic mansion on the Sassafras River in Cecil County. It was a big property and the event was spread out over 3 locations. The wedding was on the lawn in front of the house, the cocktail hour was in the Boxwood Garden behind the house and the reception was in a tent up on a hill by the carriage house. These 3 locations were far enough apart, that managing all the details and ensuring that everything ran smoothly was difficult at best. Our wedding planner was the owner of the company, Anjie Henry and she was outstanding! In addition to the size of the property, there were other unforeseen circumstances that made Anjie's job even more difficult. Anjie was professional, efficient, competent, and thorough, all while maintaining a smile on her face! She saw to every detail and anticipated some issues that we would never have thought of . Everything about the day was perfect and much of that was due to Anjie!
Not only was our day everything we could have hoped for, but the planning process the month leading up to the wedding was so much easier because Anjie was involved. Our wedding was over 200 people and we had to rent almost everything we needed for the event. Anjie helped us coordinate all of the details, and she was available to chat or help with concerns anytime something came up.
Overall, our experience was very positive and we truly can't say enough about Anjie and Blue Canary Events. Our daughter's wedding was a huge success and we could never have pulled it off without Anjie and her expertise!My daughter's wedding was at Mt.

Worry free wedding day!
Anjie at Blue Canary Events was amazing to work with. She was my month of coordinator and made sure every detail was settled. She called each vendor and made sure each vendor knew exactly what to do so I didn’t have to spend all month on the phone. She worked seamlessly with my photographer and band to make sure everyone was working together. She made necessary adjustments to make the day perfect! I recommend this company 1000%Anjie at Blue Canary Events was amazing to work with. She was my month of coordinator and made sure every detail was settled.

Couldn't have done it without Anjie!
In an attempt to save money, I had planned to attempt everything myself. At the request of the groom (who wasn't much interested in planning) I gave in, and we opted to hire a wedding planner for the 'month of' services. I spoke with a number of planners, and Anjie seemed friendly, approachable, and unfazed by our nontraditional idea, and even lack of a clear picture of what we wanted. Even prior to the month of, she would reach out to see if we had any questions, needed recommendations, advice, etc. She was able to help us avoid a few disasters (we didn't even THINK that getting a bus might be difficult, and had planned on doing that last, until Anjie pointed out it was prom, graduation, and Preakness weekend!!) Furthermore, I ended up with pneumonia about a month before our wedding. Anjie put together a timeline for us, took care of details, and asked us to look it over (which I didn't, I just told her it looked great!!!) Needless to say, it was. When some things then came up on the day of, Anjie went with it, kept everyone informed, and everything went smoothly! We couldn't have done it without her, and would recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for a month of planner... and even to those who aren't! :)In an attempt to save money, I had planned to attempt everything myself.

OUTSTANDING!! It was a real pleasure working with Ryan and Delaney on our wedding day! They made quite the impression on our guests, as several of them said it was the best run wedding they had ever had the pleasure of attending. Both my wife and I plan events as part of our job responsibilities, and it could have been easy to say "Let's try this on our own". But having Ryan, helped fill in all the gaps and details we would have missed. He was so completely and thoroughly prepared, and program timing was exceptional. My wife had an early mishap with her dress train getting stained from walking during our first look, and Ryan and his team had it cleaned and crisp before the ceremony. Last but not least, Ryan's buoyant personality, and infectious smile, make it impossible to not to have fun working with him! Whoever has the pleasure of working with Ryan and his Blue Canary Team in the future, will be gaining a new friends. Ryan, Delaney, thank you.
All our love,

Steve and I just got married on November 12th, 2011. Rebecca from Blue Canary was our month-of wedding coordinator. We initially heard of Blue Canary from a friend who had gotten married a year earlier and highly recommended their services.
When we reached out to Blue Canary, we were put in touch with Rebecca. Rebecca and I e-mailed back and forth, and I seriously "fell in love" with her over e-mail. It was clear that she had an awesome sense of humor. I joked to Steve that she was my e-mail best friend haha.
We met with Rebecca for the first time (at St. Elmo's coffee pub in Del Ray, VA), and we were thrilled! She gave us SO MANY useful suggestions - that spanned from where we should buy or beer and wine to what materials we should use for our chalkboard menus. We booked with her that night!
About a month before the wedding we met with her again - this time at Del Ray Pizza in Del Ray. We had dinner and talked with Rebecca for almost three hours! She was SO, SO INCREDIBLY helpful. She asked us thoughtful questions that helped us figure out what loose ends we needed to tie up (there were many more loose ends than we thought). Again, she gave us expert advice. She really has such a wealth of knowledge about weddings.
About a week before our wedding, Rebecca met with us at our venue to help create a floor plan and so much more. We were very appreciative, especially because she had to travel quite far to be there.
Now, onto the wedding day! Steve and I got married at a venue that did not have an on-site event coordinator. The venue was pretty much a blank slate. Therefore, a LOT of work needed to be done, in terms of setting up for the event, decorating, coordinating our rental equipment, caterer, etc. Rebecca went ABOVE AND BEYOND in every way. We also had a lot of special things we wanted to incorporate into our wedding day - inlcuding wish lanterns - and our friends planned a flash mob for us as a surprise. Rebecca and her team helped coordinate everything so it went off without a hitch. We were so INCREDIBLY THANKFUL for everything she did.
Steve and I paid for our wedding on our own, so we were very hesitant at first to invest in a wedding planner. However, I can honestly say that it was the best money we spent. Rebecca was funny, conscientious, and organized. She rose to every challenge we gave her, and she executed everything perfectly. We cannot say enough good things about her and Blue Canary - and we HIGHLY recommend them! Rebecca will make your dream wedding come true :-)

What would our wedding have been like without Rebecca and the Blue Canary Team? A disaster! Funny thing is we almost didn't hire a coordinator since of course we were way over budget. But after all the money we were spending to make our wedding everything we wanted but then not having someone to make sure that everything would actually happen, on time, and smoothly started to seem silly. Thank goodness we hired Rebecca!!
My wife and I are from Miami and we had a destination same sex-wedding in Washington, DC. We found Blue Canary on www.soyourengayged.com. Rebecca made a clear timeline up to the minute of our big day. During our last month, she took over all communication with all of our vendors. As soon as we hung up with her during our initial phone call, my wife and I felt an instant sigh of relief. A huge weight was immediately lifted off our shoulders. Rebecca thought of things that would have never crossed our minds. She was there whenever we needed her. She was always positive, extremely friendly and an absolute delight to work with. She even had our back when it came to little situations that come up with vendors. Rebecca and the company’s owner, Laura, went as far as looking into tax laws to make sure we were not being taken advantage of.
On the big day, Rebecca, Tori, and Allison (the intern) helped make our day go by like a dream come true. They were efficient and helped move us along throughout a very hectic and busy day moving us as scheduled from the Capitol to Georgetown to the ceremony, then back on the trolley to see the Lincoln memorial and the Capitol along the way back to our hotel for the party! They were there for us and everything moved very smoothly throughout the day and into the night. It was truly a like dream… our day was just that… a magical fairy tale.
I can not say enough about what a great expense, experience and difference Rebecca and the Blue Canary team made for us. We, honestly, love Rebecca. We are blessed to have had her part of the most special day of our lives and are both honored to now call her our friend.

Wish helped our overly detailed event seem effortless to us and our guests. It felt relaxed, looked wonderful and tasted/smelled delicious. Our wedding felt like a MUCH fancier affair than it was and I don't think it would have felt that way without Rebecca's (from Wish) keen eye, hard work and thoughtful approach. Wish is the best decision a bride can make!

Allison Ruyak at Wish Special Events was our day of coordinator and was simply fantastic. I have quite the type A personality and have a very "I'd rather do it myself so that I know it will be done right" attitude, but I had full confidence in Allison from day one. Allison was always on top of things (and usually one step ahead!), was quick to respond to my questions and help with any and every little thing I needed in the few months leading up to the wedding, and was SO incredibly helpful in connecting with all my vendors and making sure they all knew what to do and where to go on the day of the event. At the rehearsal and the wedding, she did an amazing job keeping everything running smoothly and was beyond organized. My fiance and I didn't have to worry about a thing, and if anything went wrong we never knew about it! We truly could not have pulled off such an event without her, and the money we spent on her day-of coordination services was worth every penny (and more).

Allison Ruyak was my day of coordinator and we had an amazing connection. She knew exactly what I needed at any given time and all of her help was amazing. She would reply to my emails and phone calls the same day and make sure that whatever I needed was on track. She dealt with all my vendors and made a timeline so we were all perfect and on time. She was the first person I saw when I got to the church and the last person I said good bye too. The company provided quick reciepts and quick responses with everything! We had a few drama moments at our wedding and we all agreed we couldn't have done it without her.

No need to look anywhere else...wish special events is wonderful. Laura was AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING! We hired Laura for day of wedding coordination and couldn't be happier. Laura answered emails quickly, offered suggestions and did lots of research for us. Laura ran the entire rehearsal and wedding. She took care of everything and if we needed anything....she took care of it. Laura confirmed with all the vendors so that the week before the wedding we just had to make sure to show up at the right time. Laura made sure that the wedding ran smoothly and we can honestly say there were no problems or hick-ups!! Laura brought us drinks while we were taking pictures and was there every step of the way. Every time we turned around, there she was ready to help and keep everything running!!! We have already recommended her to everyone we know:) Thank you so much Laura for making our wedding day so special:)No need to look anywhere else...wish special events is wonderful.

Imagine having the calmest, most knowledgeable and centered friend you have ever known by your side the entire time you are planning your wedding--and there you have Laura. I can't imagine having had anyone else help me plan my wedding or run everything the day of--it ran perfectly and smoothly and it was wonderful. Laura (the founder of soiree) is absolutely fabulous--I am a type A personality who is a complete control freak and I was actually willing to hand over my reign of control to Laura for the day of the wedding and I have no regrets. Laura is very detail-oriented and understand your desire to get the "little things" just right. She is easy to get ahold of, flexible, smart, and just plain great. I would recommend her any time! Ryan, who helped us out at the rehearsal dinner in addition to Laura was awesome as well!Imagine having the calmest, most knowledgeable and centered friend you have ever known by your side the entire time you are planning your wedding--and there you have Laura.

Laura Auer and Jessica Harris were fantastic to work with. They were extremely responsive to all of my thoughts about the wedding and helped provide direction when I was unsure of some of the elements. They lead the charge during the rehearsal and painted a clear picture of what the wedding day would be like. THANK GOODNESS they were there the day-of, because the wedding was such a surreal experience, and they kept me and my husband focused yet moving seamlessly throughout each moment of our big day. You guys ROCK!! :)Laura Auer and Jessica Harris were fantastic to work with.

Mariah, Ryan, and Amy were all at my wedding and took care of every last detail. Between filling the lemonade jars that I purchased, setting up the chocolate fountain and dipping items, putting out all my jam jar placecard/favors, and handling all the "last minute" emergencies, the three of them were a godsend on the wedding day. I was able to relax and enjoy every second with my dearest family, friends, and new husband. Being able to leave the reception without cleaning up was just great! I'd definitely recommend booking Soiree Special Events for at least Day-of Coordination...the peace of mind is worth every penny!

A+ Day of coordination was a must and wow did Anjie step up and handle it like the professional she is.
My daughters wedding was last Saturday and we hired Anjie as a day of coordinator. She was there more than just the day of abs went above and beyond that day to make my daughters wedding day the “best day ever”! Anjie put in a 15 hour day and was there for any and all things! She’s not only a great wedding planner but just an awesome person all around! I truly enjoyed working with her and she meshed so well with our family! Can’t recommend her enough and trust that you will enjoy working with her as much as we did!My daughters wedding was last Saturday and we hired Anjie as a day of coordinator.

Fun, VERY HELPFUL and focused/supportive
Blue Canary was amazing. Rebecca was responsive, hard-working, and SO HELPFUL. I was against a wedding planner at the start of the process, but it's hard to overstate what an amazing job she did. For example, we were overwhelmed with finding a venue (esp. at our price range), and she had a list of 10 places that were roughly in our price (some over, some under). We looked at them, figured out what we liked/didn't, and she came back with another list based on our feedback. I think we looked at around 25 places in the area overall, which was so helpful. She was also very helpful about keeping us moving and focused on the things that MUST get done.
She was also our day-of coordinator, and there were several issues that we only heard about after she had dealt with them (smoothly, quickly, and without an hassle). She was amazing!
She also seems to know everyone in the wedding business, which was great for working with vendors. Lots of long-time friends there!Blue Canary was amazing.

Rebecca O'Donnell is AMAZING! She took over our wedding from our initial planner who is expecting a child. She picked everything up and just ran with it. She is incredibly detail-oriented, but her best quality is that she's very honest. She'll tell you her advice and opinion, but then always respects your decisions and does everything in her power to make your vision happen. She is a great choice!

We absolutely loved working with Felicia from Blue Canary! We had initially hired a different coordinator from Blue Canary, but when she unexpectedly had to move for a new job, Blue Canary offered us the chance to switch to Felicia. At first, we were nervous about switching to a new person only a few months out from our wedding date, but Felicia was so professional and immediately put us at ease. Felicia took care of so many details in the month leading up to the wedding and on the big day- everything from setting out table decorations to picking up 150 cupcakes to cleaning up flowers at the end of the night. She was a calming presence who made us feel so confident that our special day would run smoothly. Felicia is a big reason that our wedding turned out just as we hoped and imagined! I would highly recommend Felicia and Blue Canary to anyone planning a wedding in the DC area!We absolutely loved working with Felicia from Blue Canary!

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Rebecca from Blue Canary Events. She was responsive, helpful, accommodating, and most of all made us feel calm and organized. We never worried that we had forgotten something because we knew Rebecca always had our backs. And she wasn’t afraid to be honest with us, so if we had an idea that wasn’t going to work, she explained why and always had a better alternative. Rebecca would also respond within minutes to our MANY emails, and never ever made us feel like we were bothering her. We hired Rebecca as our wedding coach for our May 2016 wedding, and her vendor referrals were such a help! We loved everyone we worked with and never felt like we were being taken advantage of. Plus, Rebecca went above and beyond her contracted responsibilities and really helped guide us through the whole process. We couldn’t believe how smoothly everything went at our wedding and it was all thanks to Rebecca’s excellent planning. Not to mention that she managed to pull our wedding together flawlessly while planning her own wedding at the same time!

We hired Rebecca 0'Donnell as our wedding planner to work with us on our wedding prep all the way up to the big day. She was indispensable and worth every penny! It helped so much to know that there was a professional keeping us on track, who was there for help, suggestions, advice, tips, moral support, etc. Rebecca helped us with the big projects and then we tackled the smaller projects ourselves with her guidance. She also emailed us monthly to-do lists, so we could feel like we were on target and accomplished, getting a manageable chunk of tasks completed each month. I honestly do not know how the wedding planning process would have gone without Rebecca and Blue Canary Events. Many of our guests said ours was one of the most beautiful, romantic, and well-planned weddings they had ever attended!
