Jessie M. Sent on 07/06/2022DTAE: Always Goes Above & Beyond
We worked with Julia of Down the Aisle Events for two years leading up to our wedding. Though we purchased her 10-week coordinator package, she went above and beyond to help us corral our vendors and style our venue to create the wedding of our dreams.
After hiring Julia (and an initial meeting), Julia held a call with us to understand our vision at the 10-week mark. From there on, she exceeded any and all expectations we had:
- She handled our complicated family dynamics and vocal bridal party with such grace.
-She handled our vendor communications professionally and acted as our advocate, ensuring we were only paying for services needed and received
-She curated day-of timelines for our entire bridal party and other day-of key players
-She recommended a nail spa for the bridal party and made sure our time there was extra special
-She worked with her wonderful assistant Tasia to style our venue to our exact specifications with the decorations provided. - She understood our individual stress points and so kindly and discretely ensured that our bridal party was prepared and our nerves were calm so we could enjoy the evening with our guests.
-She delivered the leftover cake and treats to our afterparty!
The list could go on! Perhaps most importantly, Julia was warm and fun to work with (we had lots of laughs along the way). We now consider her a friend. -

Camille Sent on 12/30/2018DTAE is Amazing & Highly Recommended!
Down The Aisle Events was absolutely amazing- do yourself a favor and hire them! Julia was so great to work with and I was able to be fully present without any worries on my wedding day. She took care of any kinks that came up and made sure everything was absolutely perfect the entire day. She set up our decorations, which were AMAZING. Coordinated everything with the vendors, was there for the rehearsal and everything. During post-ceremony pictures she even made sure we got a plate of our food from the cocktail hour and the entire bridal party all had drinks! At the reception, she always made sure the groom and I had drinks (and water), that we got to eat, and the bartenders all knew what we were having. It was so important to me that I be able to enjoy my wedding day fully without any distractions, and Down The Aisle Events made this possible! Do yourself a favor and HIRE THEM! -

Kaitlin D. Sent on 12/28/2018Julia and DTAE are amazing!
Hiring Julia and DTAE was one of the best decisions my fiance and I made when planning our wedding. Julia confirmed everything with our vendors beforehand, created a detailed itinerary of our wedding day, and handled complicated family dynamics with grace so that we could relax and enjoy our day. Julia's day-of suitcase was a life saver when my bridesmaids and I were getting ready (tummy troubles and wardrobe malfunctions were solved with her kit, seriously a blessing). We ended moving our ceremony inside due to rain and Julia completely handled coordinating the moving process with our venue. Julia was reliable, easy to work with, and truly a friend by the end of the wedding and I would recommend her and DTAE to all of my friends with no reservations! I would absolutely love to work with her again. -
Amy Sent on 10/06/2017My wedding day would not have been the amazing, incredible, joyful day that it was without Julia. Having been a part of many weddings, I know how hectic and chaotic things can get - and I've seen my fair share of stressed brides and family running around making sure every vendor has been paid and troubleshooting random issues that come up (shuttle buses, missing decorations, you name it).
While we had a clear vision of what we wanted our wedding day to look and feel like, I knew we would need help bringing it to life. When Julia asked me to describe what I hoped for in a planner, I basically just said "I just want myself, my fiance and our family to be calm, relaxed, and present the whole day". Having Julia there made it possible for that wish to come true. She was in close contact with me in the weeks leading up to the ceremony - assuring me that she had every tiny detail covered and bringing up things I hadn't even thought of. She carefully reviewed every contract, timeline, and list, to make sure there were no inconsistencies, errors, or questions. She coordinated with all of our vendors to ensure seamless drop-off and setup, and she wrote out a detailed timeline for all of our wedding party, family and VIPs, to keep everyone on schedule and informed.
I'm pretty confident that there are many, many little things she handled on our wedding day without me ever knowing - and this allowed me to be fully present and relaxed all day long. I can't recommend her more highly as a planner - she's calm, incredibly organized and detail oriented, and you know that she's got your back no matter what happens. She's also just an incredibly delightful person to be around! Julia, thank you for making my wedding day even better than I ever imagined! -

Sara Sent on 10/05/2017My daughter was married on a beautiful May afternoon outside by a lake. 20 minutes before wedding a thunderstorm came up. Julia was the calming force that saved the day! She regrouped all guests into barn, reorganized drinks and hor d'oeuvres. She saved the day. 1/2 hour later my daughter had her dream wedding. I was able to enjoy my daughters beautiful day because all stress was taken off of me. She did a fabulous job with all details. If you are looking for the "best" wedding coordinator Julia is that lady !

User2642947 Sent on 06/11/2016My wedding day would not have been what it was without Julia. I had just finished getting my degree and graduating college, so I wasn't able to devote as much time towards planning the finer details of my wedding (which was 2500 miles away from where we currently live). Needless to say, I was a massive ball of anxiety. Julia always managed to put things into perspective for me and set me at ease. When the big day came, she rolled right into action, coordinating the vendors and guests, and was always quick to help when one of my girlfriends needed a pin or anything at all- she seemed to carry the world of rescue items in her Mary Poppins-like emergency kit. She was able to anticipate every need of guests and the wedding party so seamlessly. If anything went wrong, I certainly didn't know about it! Guests are still telling us how much they enjoyed the ceremony and reception. Our wedding was not at a venue, but on a private property in Virginia, which meant orchestrating the services and timing of several different vendors that one would normally have at a major venue. No easy task! I highly recommend Julia to any bride, she will put your needs first and is an absolute miracle worker. Remember, it's YOUR wedding day and you deserve to experience all of the best parts of it and leave the big stuff to the pros. Thank you, Julia!! You're the best!
