The best team
We used Glint Events for our wedding this November at Dover Hall and I can't say enough great things about them! We got married during COVID, so there were a lot of stressful moments, last minute changes, and ups and downs while planning. The Glint team helped us create the day of our dreams while still making the event safe and comfortable for our quests. I know a lot of people have been pressured or even required to postpone their weddings due to the COVID, but we decided to have our wedding day as planned and never felt any judgement or disapproval from the Glint team. I have had countless guests comment about how incredible the wedding was and how impressed they were with all of the thoughtful details. Kate and her team delivered both what was promised in our contract and so much more. They provided guidance without every feeling overbearing and I never felt pressured from their team to make one decision vs another. They truly wanted the day to be about US and what we wanted. This was a huge relief especially since planning a wedding right now comes with a TON of pressure due to the pandemic. Our day was perfect! It was beautiful, romantic, and so much fun. I can confidently say that you will not be disappointed by this team of amazing women! It was one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding. Thank you so much Glint team!!! We are so thankful for everything y'all did for us! -

Kathleen Sent on 02/14/2020Best Wedding Planner in Richmond, VA
My husband and I got engaged in January 2019 and immediately felt overwhelmed by everything that was happening. Living in DC and being from Richmond made it difficult to even think about starting the wedding planning process. Luckily, I have a flexible schedule so I was able to scoot down to Richmond to find a venue and church that coordinated on the same day. After that was decided, I distinctly remember thinking “now what.” We decided that the best place to start was with a wedding planner. After speaking with friends and family, the name that kept being mentioned was “Glint Events.” My mother and I were able to do an in-person meeting with them and immediately felt relieved. The wave of support had washed over us and we were going to have the best wedding experience. Kate and Anna were our main sources of contact and they helped us with everything, especially when it came down to the finer details. They have been helping people with events for some time and we trusted them with their recommendations and in the end it paid off. They helped coordinate all of our vendors with each other and helped us stay on track. The big day came in November, and everything was taken care of and planned. My husband and I felt so relaxed and had so much fun with each other and our guests. The weeks after our wedding, our guests kept saying how much fun everything was, and my response to them was it could not have been done without our planner! Thank you Glint Events for the best experience of our lives. -

Kate and the Glint Events team was absolutely amazing! We spent a year working with Glint to plan our July 6th, 2019 wedding at Dover Hall. From the venue selection process to the very last details on the day of the wedding, Glint made sure that it all came together. My husband and I lived in DC while planning a wedding in Richmond. Kate and Anna were so flexible with having video calls instead of in-person meetings to accommodate our schedules. When we came onsite for meetings, everything was so organized and efficient! Kate provided us with recommendations for vendors based on her many years of experience and relationships she has developed in the wedding planning world. Glint Events has a wonderful reputation that was evident as every vendor we met with was thrilled to work with Kate. Kate coordinated all of our vendors, so that we didn’t have to worry about any of those logistics on wedding day. She advocated for us and handled any issues that arose without us needing to be involved. If there were any wedding day hiccups, we never even knew!!! We had so many guests come up to us and say “This was the best wedding ever!” and we couldn’t agree more. Kate, Anna, and the rest of the Glint team, thank you so much for helping us to have a stress-free wedding that exceeded all of our expectations. The full wedding package was perfect for us! We miss you all! Amanda + Louie -

Planning a wedding is an incredibly difficult challenge. Just thinking about the amount of moving pieces and all the variables that go into a wedding will make your head spin. These were the thoughts that were going through my head after I proposed to my wife over a year ago.
We found out very quickly that finding the location was only about 5% of the overall wedding planning and we were very intimidated by the task we had ahead of us. We are young professionals with limited time to plan a wedding so we definitely needed help!
After finding out venue, Dover Hall, we asked them for a list of wedding planners that they recommend. We interviewed one wedding planner after another, but were not impressed, that is until we got to Glint Events and spent an hour talking to Kate. We thought our standards were pretty high, but she raised the bar within the first 5 minutes of our first google hangouts call. She was all about us. She wanted to know everything about us, our vision and what we wanted our wedding to portray. She took notes (as she always does in all of our meetings), asked a lot of questions, and really wanted to get to know us. She then proceeded to tell us all about how she planned to make our vision a reality. She was by far the most professional planner we spoke to, but also the friendliest and the easiest to talk to. By the end of our first meeting we honestly felt like we had just made a new friend. We didn’t even have to think about choosing her over the others. It was the easiest choice and the best choice we could have made.
Once we signed the contract, Kate and her team started planning. They were on top of every little detail and were in constant communication with us. Like I said, my wife and I are very busy people, but the Glint Events team made planning our wedding such an easy process that we didn’t feel any pressure or stress throughout the process. Kate and Anna were on top of everything. Whether it was choosing a florist, a DJ, or a photographer; they always considered our vision and gave us options that truly fused with how we wanted our wedding to feel like.
Kate planned our wedding at Dover Hall, a very beautiful venue, but honestly the wedding could have been anywhere and I would have had complete faith in the Glint Events team to plan an unforgettable wedding that our families and friends would have remembered forever.
Our wedding was an absolute hit with our families, friends, and even with the venue. The Dover Hall staff came up to us the day after our wedding and everyone sincerely thought that our wedding was one of the best weddings they had seen, and it is all 100% thanks to the Glint Events team. They went above and beyond for us. They considered our hobbies and the things we love. For example, my wife and I are absolute nerds…She loves Harry Potter and I am a Marvel and anime junkie. They included fun details and shout outs to the things we love in our wedding. These were details everyone at the wedding got to experience without losing the elegance and prestige that comes with getting married at Dover Hall. One example of this is an engineering project Kate, Anna, and their crew took on to simulate the flying keys in Harry Potter and made it so the wings on the keys were actual seating cards. Our guests had so much fun finding their keys. You can check it out here: https://www.instagram.com/p/By6bBCkFlJ8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
I could write about Kate, Anna, and Glint Events all day, but I should probably stop soon! Honestly words can’t begin to describe how grateful we are to them. I will end on this: no matter where your wedding is or what the vision for your wedding is, you can absolutely count on Kate and her team to go the extra mile to make your day unforgettable, because they are super passionate about what they do and are professionals when it comes to creating amazing weddings. They are simply the best!! -

Dave Sent on 06/11/2019Best Wedding Planner Ever
We were initially overwhelmed at the prospect of planning a wedding, but Anna & the team at Glint were so helpful and took so much stress off our plates. Anna was fantastic, helping us to prioritize our to-do list to make sure everything was taken care of in a timely fashion. On the day of the wedding, she juggled the normal rigors of the set-up process with an uncertain weather forecast and handled everything perfectly. The wedding turned out even better than we ever imagined. For anyone in need of a wedding planner, we can’t recommend Glint enough. Thanks, Anna! -

Amy Sent on 11/05/2018Amazing team of planners!
Kate, Anna, Becca and Emily at Glint Events were an absolute dream to work with. Their attention to detail, responsiveness and creativity were invaluable throughout the planning process. Our destination wedding in Williamsburg, VA went off without a hitch and my fiance and I were able to relax and enjoy the day to the fullest. If you're looking for top-notch, full service wedding planning, Glint delivers. Each and every vendor recommendation was spot on and Glint respected our budget at all the steps along the way. I cannot recommend the team at Glint enough. -

Amanda Sent on 05/07/2018We worked with Katie from Glint through our venue, Historic Mankin Mansion. Katie was so wonderful and helpful from the very beginning! She listened to all my crazy bride questions and helped us put together the most beautiful day I've ever experienced. She was very responsive to emails and was even flexible to accommodate meetings around my husband and my work hours. If anything didn't go as planned on the wedding day, I had absolutely NO idea. It was such a perfect day. Thank you, Katie! Six stars! :) -

Katelyn Sent on 10/29/2014My now husband and I had the pleasure of working with Kate for 18 months during the course of our long engagement! And we are truly sad that it's over! From my first meeting with Kate, I knew I wanted to work with her. She is knowledgeable, passionate, enthusiastic, but also down to earth. Every meeting we had with her felt like hanging out with an old friend. We had a few minor bumps in our wedding planning along the way, and I always knew that Kate would be there to answer my call or email and walk me through it. The day before our wedding and the day of, she was instrumental in making sure everything ran smoothly. I cannot recommend her enough! Having Kate there on the day of our wedding allowed me to sit back and relax, enjoy the day with my family and friends and not worry about a thing. If anything went wrong, I didn't know about it! Our day was even more perfect than I could have imagined, and Kate played a huge role in that. If you're looking for a wedding planner... hire Lovebirds Events! -

Mia Sent on 12/05/2012By far, Lovebirds Events, was the best investment for our wedding. Kate and her team ensured that our wedding day ran smoothly and without a hitch! Lovebirds Events orchestrated and executed our vision beyond our expectations. Kate was extremely organized, professional and technologically savvy. From our first meeting, she exhibited great enthusiasm about the vision of our day. Kate knew the city, recommended an amazing venue and helped us prepare accordingly. One month before the event, we had a walk through of the day and from there she created an itinerary for the weekend which was extremely helpful for the vendors, wedding party and our families. Her attention to detail was unparalleled and ensured a stress free and fabulous event. As a couple we were able to remain relaxed and focused on our wedding day. All too often engaged couples may consider hiring friends or family to coordinate their wedding. We considered it as well, however we’re glad we made the right decision by acquiring Kate’s services because our family members were able to have a great time too! Hands down, Lovebirds Events, provides awesome services and is well worth the investment!
Thanks Lovebirds Events!

Amanda Sent on 09/25/2012Lovebirds Events was worth every single penny (and then some) to us! We were planning a Richmond VA wedding from NYC, and Lovebirds helped us in so many ways! From recommendations on acoustic guitarists for our ceremony to helping me with hair/makeup logistics on the big day to taking my vision and actually making it happen - they were wonderful planners and on top of that, always very pleasant to work with - always smiling and always positive! I will be recommending Lovebirds Events to every engaged couple I know! -

Ali Sent on 12/05/2011Kate - I know I speak for everyone in both our families when I say we couldn't have enjoyed our wedding reception without you! Despite all the planning we tried to do up front, you were without a doubt the secret behind making our reception run so smoothly. I managed to catch a glimpse of you at one point taking down our gift table to set up the quest favors station, and in the process realized that there was no way our friends or parents could have juggled such responsibilities while enjoying themselves after our ceremony. Your services were truly the best money spent on our wedding, and we greatly appreciate all the help and attention to detail you provided. Thanks again, and we'll be putting your word out to all our friends!

Amanda Sent on 10/27/2013I’ll admit I was a little nervous when after meeting with Kate she let us know that she would not be able to coordinate our wedding due to the birth of her sweet baby girl but would instead set us up with Emily. But we had absolutely no reason to worry! Emily was amazing! Even when our officiant didn’t show up she handled it beautifully. She was able to wrangle up our large wedding party (which I’m sure was much like herding cats at some points) and gracefully handled all of the behind the scenes efforts at our pretty large wedding. She strapped on her super cute rain boots and set everything up during what seemed like the longest week of rain ever. Hiring Lovebirds was by far one of the best decisions we made! Thank you ladies! You're awesome! -

Chrystal Sent on 09/03/2012Kate was one of the best investments I made for my wedding last May! She was the perfect combination of flexible, creative, supportive, and organized... everything you'd want in a day-of-wedding coordinator! I would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone considering her services :)
