    Highly recommended wedding coordinator

    Maddie was absolutely fantastic! I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a wedding coordinator in the DC area. She was extremely professional and unflappable. Most importantly, she and her assistant took care of managing so many logistical details to make sure everything went smoothly, so that we could focus on enjoying the big day and being in the moment.

    Perfection Mom

    Maddie at DMV Wedding Planners was our coordinator and she did an outstanding job!! I am an accountant by trade, and I am very detail oriented. I live in panic mode most days with analysis and deadlines. However, Maddie was always able to provide her calm subtle direction. She gently provided focus while prioritizing all the details required in planning my daughters wedding. She knows her business, and is excellent at implementing a timeline and helping her clients stay on track with strategic planning calls. The day of the wedding, I wanted to panic but, Maddie was absolutely amazing at keeping it calm. The decor turned out beautifully thanks to her expertise. Oh, and did I mention she is genuine and cares about her brides and moms. I am so pleased that I chose DMV Wedding Planners for my only child’s wedding. It was shear perfection.

    So Thankful!

    Where do I begin? Maddie and her Team were absolutely phenomenal. We couldn't have picked a more perfect wedding coordinator - she was cool, calm, and collected and always put our needs above her own. I am a super type A person and made a whole decor guide for Maddie and she brought my vision to life. I didn't have to worry about a single thing from set up to breakdown. During the entire night, she always made sure to ask if we needed anything and even played body guard during the reception to make sure we had enough time to eat before everybody rushed up to the sweetheart table to take pictures with us (thank god she did that!). We cannot recommend Maddie and her Team enough. We are sooo thankful for her! Run, do not walk, and book Maddie now if she has availability!

    Amazing Job by DMV Weddings and Events

    Maddie and the crew at DMV weddings were amazing to work with. My wife and I couldn’t have been happier with how our wedding turned out, and we planned our wedding for over a year and put in a massive amount of effort on all fronts regarding logistics and vendors. Even with that advanced preparation, it would have been impossible to execute our wedding to expectations without a day-of coordinator. Maddie and team were the glue that kept everything together from start to finish on our wedding day.

    Maddie is the consummate professional, and has pretty much seen it all. With that experience, the communication in advance will give her an idea of how to best manage your wedding and make it a “dream come true” experience. Additionally, she is quite flexible as it pertains to achieving a desired outcome, and she put it strenuous efforts to ensure our ceremony was in good order at our church, and that everything was ready to go at the different reception location.

    My wife and I recommend having a day of coordinator in general, and once that decision has been made, we highly recommend using the services of DMV Weddings. Not only will they do an outstanding job, but they are comprised of great people who deeply care about your needs and will do whatever it takes to make your wedding the experience of a lifetime!

    A Dream to Work With!

    We had such an amazing experience planning our wedding with Maddie at DMV Weddings & Events! We were originally thinking of just having a "Day Of Coordinator", but after meeting with Maddie, I'm so happy we went for the "Planning" selection. Maddie was very helpful, responsive, and organized throughout the planning stages! On the day of our wedding at Citizens Ballroom in Frederick, Maddie and her team were on top of everything! I am a "Type A" personality, and I did not worry about a thing on the wedding day! When we had a zipper issue with my second dress, it was all hands-on deck, including the great seamstress at Chapel & Court :)! Truly cannot say enough about how great it was working with Maddie. I look forward to having them help us in the future for event/party planning!

    Best Frederick Coordinator!

    Planning a wedding from states away was made easier with Maddie’s coordination. Her communication with myself and my vendors was paramount to the smooth operation day-of. Beyond her organization and execution skills, it was invaluable to have a coordinator familiar with the venue (Union Mills Public House) and most of our vendors. To my knowledge, everything went off without a hitch day-of, which is the best I could ask for out of a coordinator. We are so grateful for Maddie and her team! Highly recommend.

    You need this day of wedding coordinator

    When my daughter said we needed a day of wedding coordinator I thought, what do we need that for? Well, let me tell you, Maddie Garris and her team made the day perfect. She made sure everything ran smoothly, directed us to details we had never considered and assisted in every step of the day, right up until we packed up and went home. She even made sure I had a cocktail in my hand when things got really busy with family photos. Her attention to detail was superb. Best of all, I didn't have to worry about a thing on such a special day. I would highly recommend DMV Weddings and Events for your wedding.

    Amazing Coordinator!!

    Maddie and her team were amazing during our wedding process! Maddie found all of my vendors, helped coordinate a venue and date move during the wedding planning process and during the wedding she made sure everything ran smoothly and I didn't even realize if there were any problems or change-ups. Highly recommend.

    Simply the best!

    Maddie was our day of coordinator, and she went above and beyond to support our special day! We had a cocktail style reception in lieu of a traditional one (no formal seated dinner). She encouraged us to take time to eat a private dinner, just the two of us, to have a nice minute of reprieve. We were very grateful for that and appreciated it so much. It allowed us to breathe and enjoy a peaceful moment together. Maddie’s superb planning and coordination allowed us and our guests to enjoy every moment of the day. Maddie is an excellent communicator, has a positive attitude, responsive, and puts her clients minds at ease. We 100% recommend Maddie of DMV events!

    Excellent!

    Maddie and her team are amazing. She was very responsive leading up to the wedding and the day of the wedding she went above and beyond. I was able to relax and enjoy my wedding day while she took my vision for the details/ decorations and brought it to life. Highly recommend!!

    Amazing Coordinator!

    Maddie was the most amazing wedding coordinator! Maddie was our go to person in Maryland after my husband and I moved to Charlotte shortly after getting engaged. She made us feel at ease while planning our wedding from a different state. Maddie also recommended our hair & make up artists, photographer and DJ who all did an incredible job. She went above and beyond on our wedding day, and we knew we could sit back and enjoy our day. We highly recommend Maddie!

    Amazing Experience!

    I cannot say enough about Maddie and her team. During the planning process, Maddie was helpful and responsive with anything that was asked of her. She was also was a constant support to calm nerves and anxiety during the planning process; offering solutions to challenges faced, as well as an amazing DJ. Maddie was nine months pregnant and her little one was expected around the same time as my daughters wedding and ended up having to go on bedrest. Maddie continued to work with us throughout, and on the wedding day she sent her absolutely amazing team to make sure that there was not one hiccup in the day. They were incredibly kind, attentive, worked like nobody’s business and just bad-ass women who got the job done. There was not one thing that we needed that they did not attend to and make sure was completed. It is because of Maddie and her team that my daughter and I did not have to think or worry about any set up beforehand, the smoothness of the ceremony, any needs during the reception and clean up afterwards. Thank you, thank you, thank you Maddie and your amazing team!

    Coordinated my perfect wedding

    If you are debating hiring a day of coordinator, stop and immediately book Maddie. I planned out my dream in the year leading up to my wedding, then week/day of Maddie brought it to life. I was able to relax and enjoy my day and everything just magically fell into place (or so it felt to me!). She was kind, professional, and attentive . 10/10 cannot recommend her strongly enough. Even my friends/family remarked on how great she was.

    Great coordinator!

    Maddie was amazing! We hired her for day of coordinating and everything ran so smoothly on our day! As a VERY type A bride, I was super nervous handing over the details of the day to someone else, but felt super secure handing things over the Maddie. Not only did her and her team make sure that our timeline ran smoothly, they were there to make sure my husband and I had everything we needed on the day of. When my bustle didn't want to stay, Maddie came to rescue with safety pins! Would recommend!

    Maddie was a pleasure to work with from our very first facetime call. She understood our vision for the party and executed it flawlessly. The tablescapes she put together along with the vendors she recommended were just perfect. And the best part is we were able to actually enjoy our own party knowing that she was taking care of everything from set up to take down. I definitely recommend Maddie and would not hesitate to hire her again for our next big event. Thanks Maddie for helping make our occasion so wonderful!

    Look no further, you have found your wedding coordinator! Maddie was PHENOMENAL - from our introduction calls to planning calls to day of, she has made the process super easy and smooth for us (she helped me relax when I went on stress mode.) She is organized, detailed oriented, and professional. Seriously I cannot say enough things about her! Highest recommendation! Thank you so much Maddie for being a part of our special day and making sure I stay hydrated (seriously, she would find me in the sea of guests and hand me water - ninja!!) :)

    DMV Weddings and Events did an amazing job with our event. From the planning and setup to the execution, everything was amazing, professional and beautiful. I can’t say enough about Maddie and her staff. All of the family and friends in attendance were in awe with how lovely everything was. I would highly recommend DMV Weddings and Events for any function no matter how big or small.

    The absolute best!

    Hiring Maddie as our day of coordinator was one of the best decisions we could have made. We truly could not have gotten through our day if it wasn’t for her. I gave her a rough idea of how I wanted our decor to look, put all of my trust in her, and she brought it all to life! We were working with a tight schedule and she kept everything in line and on time. I can’t imagine having our day go on without her. 100% you must book her for your wedding! She took a lot of the stress out of what could have been a stressful day, and for that we are SO grateful.

    Maddie was my event coordinator for my wedding. Her and her team really went above and beyond to make sure the day ran smoothly. There’s no way everything would’ve fallen into place if I didn’t have her and her team. I had my wedding on our private property so there were many shoes that needed to be filled and they helped with everything and anything I needed. If I could give any piece of advice to future brides it would be to hire an event coordinator. They play at such a huge role in our big day. It’s an absolute must have! Thank you to Maddie and her team for helping me with the wedding of my dreams.

    Cannot say enough positive things about Maddie & her crew

    We were originally supposed to get married in December 2020, when we had to push it I started to get overwhelmed by all of the logistics and coordination (not to mention thinking through all of the day off activities), so I started looking up month/day of coordinators. It was not originally in the budget and the prices just added to the overwhelming feeling. A family member recommended Maddie and I reached out. We initially chose her because her price point was so (!!!) much lower than all of the other places I looked but now that our wedding is over I can without a doubt say we got a STEAL (!!!) in her and her team. She contacted me a month out and worked through coordinating the vendors/schedule/arrivals departures. Offered many suggestions for things I hadn’t thought about (my first wedding but definitely not her first rodeo) and has a few things we could rent through her. She came to the rehearsal to help us get organized and even picked up all of our decor the day before so I didn’t have to worry about getting it dropped off at the venue on the wedding day. That alone took away so much stress. Then we get to the wedding day - I had to worry about ZERO logistics. She kept everything moving, made sure my husband and I were where we should be and handled any little thing that arose. They got all our decor up (and back down), helped us figure out tips, kept me hydrated, and played interference so we could eat some food. If there were any hitches in the day, I was unaware. I cannot recommend her enough and will be passing her info on to anyone I know. Maddie — thank you SO much for everything!!

    Highly recommend!

    Maddie was wonderful to work with. Having changed our wedding from international to local at the last minute due to COVID, we were extremely under pressure to pull something together in 90 days.

    Maddie helped recommend numerous vendors and played a key role in orchestrating our big day. Maddie coordinated with our vendors, created a detailed timeline and was our go-to point person for all matters on the day of our wedding. She made sure things ran smoothly and helped to keep us out of the chaos so that we could enjoy our special day.

    Maddie also met us at our apartment building to run a rehearsal the night before to ensure our wedding party was polished on the day of.

    I would highly recommend Maddie and DMV Weddings to anyone looking for a coordinator!

    Very accommodating and flexible

    Maddie was our wedding planner and day of coordinator. She was wonderful at sending me reminders and nudging me to get things done within the timeframe we had agreed upon, which I needed. She was very knowledgeable and provided some great ideas when I was deciding on my wedding decorations, timeline and vendors. Day of I knew she had everything and everyone under control and I was able to relax and celebrate! She coordinated vendors and staff flawlessly for a great evening!

    Seamless Wedding

    I truly cannot say enough good things about Maddie. I had gone back and forth about hiring a coordinator, I was a big DIY bride, but after seeing her recommended many times by brides I realized that she was exactly what I needed. In our initial consult I felt like she knew exactly what I wanted without me even knowing the words half the time or how to express what I wanted. She provided a detailed timeline, came early, made sure everyone was where they were supposed to be, set up everything, brought me food during photos, continued to check on me throughout the night, helped bustle my dress, and so much more. Overall she made me feel secure like I didn’t have to think of a thing. All my other vendors even complimented how responsive she was. 10/10, 5 stars, you do need the wedding coordinator, and you need Maddie.
