    No worries on our wedding day!

    After signing with GLOW, we emailed several times for vendor recommendations and quick clarification questions.
    In the immediate lead-up to our wedding, we met with GLOW and our caterer at the venue. They were a great team! They walked us through the details for the wedding night and shared a nearly minute-by-minute schedule. They worked with us over the next few weeks to fill in any gaps and make any last-minute changes. They then distributed it to our other vendors. They even attended our rehearsal dinner to make sure our immediate families and wedding party knew what to expect and to collect any items we didn't want to worry about forgetting on the wedding day.
    On the wedding day itself, we knew we could relax and enjoy our celebration with family and friends because GLOW had it under control!

    Attentive, Organized, and Extremely Friendly

    Kristi and Missy, from Glow Weddings were extremely helpful and organized throughout the entire wedding planning process and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone getting married in the DMV area.

    Glow Weddings is very flexible and offers a variety of different wedding planning packages, from one in which you receive help only on the day of the wedding (and plan everything else yourself) to one where Kristi does basically everything for you. We selected something in between these choices. We selected and contacted the vendors ourselves, but Kristi gave us plenty of recommendations and advice along the way.

    It's hard to remember all of the things she helped us with, since there are so many details that go into planning a wedding, but she clearly has extensive knowledge of every part of the process. She helped keep us on track throughout the process and ensured that we were getting everything done in time, and that no task fell through the cracks.

    The month or so leading up to the wedding was when we really knew we could not have executed our wedding so well without the help of Kristi and Missy. Planned everything out to the minute, made sure we had a detailed schedule, that there were no mistakes with our seating chart, that everyone, from the bridesmaids/groomsmen, to our officiant, the caterers, etc. knew where they were supposed to be and when, and they made sure the setup of the tables, all of the decorations of the venue, etc. were taken care of. The level of organization was incredible. We were able to have a pretty much perfect wedding, where everything went as well as we could have imagined. We have Kristi and Missy from Glow Weddings to thank for that, and we really cannot say enough about them!

    The best decision we made!

    We hired Glow (Kristi and Missy) for day-of coordination of our wedding at Woodend Sanctuary and Mansion. Despite not having initially budgeted for a day-of coordinator, we quickly realized that hiring one would be an investment that would allow us to fully enjoy the day we had worked so hard to plan. With Glow, "day-of coordination" feels almost like a misnomer. Kristi was so responsive and helpful, offering vendor recommendations and answering questions long before the day of the wedding. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, they walked us through a questionnaire that ensured nothing would fall through the cracks, and, from it, they created personalized checklists to guide us through the home stretch of tasks and itineraries for our wedding party and vendors. By wedding day, we were so confident that Kristi and Missy had everything under control that we were able to truly relax and enjoy the little moments. Hiring Glow was the best (and best-value!) decision we made!

    PHENOMENAL wedding planners/coordinators!

    We had the genuine pleasure of working with Kristi and Missy from Glow weddings! If we could do the big day over again (which we wish we could!) we would absolute choose to do it alongside Kristi and Missy every single time. They were kind, professional, responsive, detailed, and supportive every step of the way. They were able to provide us with strong guidance based on their professional experience, however always made it clear that every choice/detail was always up to us. They advocated for us / our wishes at various times, and it always felt like they had our back in making our dream day a reality. I genuinely cannot recommend them highly enough, so if you are looking for a wedding planner/coordinator you should absolutely choose to bring Glow Weddings and Events onto your dream team!

    Thank you GLOW!

    Of all the vendors we booked, Kristi and Missy from GLOW were by far the most valuable- our wedding day ran so smoothly and it felt like we didn’t have to do a single thing on the day of!
    From the early planning stages, Kristi had great vendor recs, suggestions for Woodend, and clearly tons of experience. When we got to the month before the wedding and into the weeds of planning, Kristi and Missy walked us through every single detail we’d need to consider, including ones we’d never have thought of on our own! On the day of, they worked seamlessly with our other vendors, and were super flexible when Maryland weather was being its usual unpredictable self.
    The pacing was perfect and we never felt rushed- all we needed to do was have a blast and trust GLOW to work their magic! One example- In the schedule we’d set out pre-wedding, my parents were scheduled to give a speech at 7:42- and at EXACTLY 7:42 they got up to the mic- without any of us having to look at the time! Just how good Kristi and Missy were at keeping every step moving comfortably and smoothly. We did a lot of our own decor, and GLOW set everything up perfectly, and were able to help load leftover alcohol, decor, and florals into cars so that we could reuse everything for the following-day brunch, which was a huge help. Can’t thank GLOW enough for helping us have such an amazing wedding day!

    GLOW was awesome

    We hired GLOW as our day-of coordinator, and they absolutely nailed it. Eight weeks prior to the wedding, they sat down with us to understand our expectations and the tasks that needed to be accomplished. They crafted detailed itineraries for us and all our vendors, ensuring everyone was on the same page.

    On the wedding day, everything flowed smoothly as planned, and any unforeseen issues were handled seamlessly without us even noticing. GLOW's team is incredibly professional and experienced in event planning. I wholeheartedly recommend them without reservation.

    Best Wedding Choice we Made

    We loved working with Glow. We worked with Kristi as a partial planner for more than a year leading up to our wedding and with both her and Missy during the coordination phase. Throughout the process, Kristi shared so much knowledge and expertise and she helped guide us to choose vendors, all of whom worked together to make our wedding everything we wanted. On our wedding day, she and Missy made sure every little thing was in its place and we were able to stay focused on having fun with our family and friends.

    Working with Glow was the best choice we made while planning our wedding (seriously, both our moms have said so to us multiple times since). They are professional, knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and great to work with.

    GLOW has got it down!!

    If you want to ensure that your wedding timeline runs smoothly, hire Kristi and Missy from GLOW Weddings and Events! They offer a variety of flexible packages to meet your needs. We hired them as our day-of coordinator, but their support extended well beyond wedding day. The coordination process kicked off 8 weeks prior to our big day. GLOW sent a comprehensive planning questionnaire that was designed to make the process go smoothly, and Kristi and Missy met with us for a planning session after our walk through. They are excellent at managing time and delivered detailed itineraries down to the minute not only the wedding party but also for other key vendors such as the DJ, videographer/photographer, and caterer. Their attention to detail is commendable, and we could not have transformed our dream into a reality without their expert advice and professional touch. They responded to our inquires in a timely manner and handled any hiccups calmly and quickly. It was a pleasure working with them!

    Organized and professional

    Kristi was extremely knowledgeable and helped to organize all the little (and big) tasks leading up to the wedding. She checked in on a regular basis and provided tips as needed. She was very professional and was a pleasure to work with. Her experience with Woodend was invaluable, as it saved our having to check with the venue about lots of small things. I would highly recommend her!

    Amazing day of coordination

    We got married at Woodend, and I am so glad that we ended up working with Kristi and Missy as our day-of coordinators! They know Woodend inside and out, and because of that they had extensive experience with most of our vendors. That was so valuable for us because we knew all the last-minute stressors and questions would be handled by them, and so we were just able to enjoy getting married! They worked behind the scenes to make everything run so smoothly, and it was definitely noticed! I highly recommend GLOW for anyone getting married at Woodend (or elsewhere!)

    Incredibly helpful - got to enjoy our day!

    A big part of our hiring Kristi and Missy was their knowledge of Woodend inside and out - and we are so glad since it was one of the best decisions we made during the planning process. She was so responsive to our (many) questions during the planning process in terms of what worked v didn't work at the venue, what was actually necessary when some vendors tried to upsell in the vendor selection process. Kristi was always so responsive and such an incredible resource! Our main goal of course was to be able for us to truly enjoy the wedding and not have any stressors to disrupt the joy of the day and having Kristi and Missy on the team allowed us to do exactly that! I'm so grateful that we hired them and our wedding was just such a wonderful, fun, relaxed and joyous experience for it!

    Best decision we made

    You are off to a great start if you're considering hiring Kristi & Missy. We couldn't have pulled off our wedding without them. They are very thorough, organized and experienced and kept us from having to worry about a thing on our wedding day. You will have to do some work around filling out paperwork, but trust me when I say it is well worth it to not have to stress when the big day comes. On the day of, they are all business and keep everyone in line and ensure you're only as involved as you want to be. They are great at what they do, and even after our first meeting, my wife and I both said that hiring them was the best decision we made.

    Best in the business

    Kristi was an excellent addition to our plans! As a bride who was skeptical of a day of coordinator and armed with very organized bridesmaids, Kristi fully impressed us with her attention to detail, organization and communication with all of our vendors. She is truly the top of her class!

    Hiring Glow Weddings allowed us to enjoy our day!

    Hiring Kristi for our day-of coordination was the best decision we could have made for our own peace of mind. Her attention to detail inspired the confidence we needed to let ourselves enjoy our wedding day rather than focus on the logistical details of the day.

    Hiring Kristi at Glow Weddings was one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process. She was so responsive to our (many) questions related to the wedding, and she was crucial in helping guide our decor choices and day-of logistics. She made the wedding day feel seamless, which is such a credit to her and her team. I would highly recommend hiring Glow Weddings.

    Incredibly helpful! THANK YOU!

    Kristi and Missy did a fantastic job as our day of coordinators. First off, they were so responsive, you will have zero issues keeping in close contact with them and things moving forward. Nothing slipped past them, they had it all laid out from our initial discussions to subsequent updates. They made itineraries for all of our vendors and our entire wedding party so they knew how the day would go. Day of, they made sure our vendors were settled, all our decor/extras were set up (card box, guest book, photos, lawn games etc), our ceremony proceeded without a hitch, and we stayed on schedule for everything we wanted to do. The other advantage for us was that Kristi & Missy had worked at our venue (Woodend Sanctuary & Mansion) many times before and with our caterer (Corcoran Caterers), so we knew everything would be seamless. Finally, wrapping up was a whirlwind but nothing was missed, all personal items, alcohol, food etc got into the cars it needed to while we finished our photos and changed. Our wedding party and even guests remarked on how great Kristi and Missy were to interact with and how helpful they were!

    Amazing day of coordinator!

    Kristi and her team were wonderful. We needed a coordinator and Kristi went above and beyond throughout the entire planning process. She shared vendor recommendations and kept us organized with questionnaires and timelines. They took care of everything the day of our wedding so we were really able to unplug and enjoy the day. We would highly recommend Kristi to anyone considering!

    Run don't walk - hire glow now!

    Hiring Kristi was the best decision we made during our wedding planning process! She is the hardest working, most professional, organized and calm force of nature we could have ever hoped for on our wedding day. We felt so comfortable throughout our entire wedding day knowing that GLOW would be there to execute our vision, keep us on schedule, manage the vendor team, and troubleshoot any potential issues as they came up. Kristi and Missy PERFECTLY executed every single detail of our day, all while treating us and our families/guests with such respect. GLOW's expertise is unmatched and we cannot recommend them highly enough.

    Kristi can DO IT ALL!

    We had the pleasure of working with Kristi, of GLOW Weddings & Events, throughout the whole planning process. She has a lot of wedding planning experience as well as experience planning weddings at our specific venue, Woodend Sanctuary & Mansion. She is very organized and detailed oriented and did a wonderful job walking us through all the steps of the wedding planning process. She was easy to talk too and kept us on track throughout the whole year, up through our wedding, by putting together monthly to-do lists for both us and her. She also provided us with a host of recommendations for everything from catering services, to DJs/bands, to options for all the different parts of the wedding ceremony and reception, which really made the planning process much easier for us since we didn’t have to do a ton of research. You can customize the amount of support you’d like her to provide, but from our point of view, she can do it all! She was particularly effective in the last month through our wedding day, by organizing and keeping tabs on all our vendors and the venue staff. Kristi also has an assistant, Missy, who helps her the day of the event, as well as with the wedding rehearsal. Together, the two of them made everything run extremely smoothly through our entire event. They were both very attentive, helpful, and organized through our entire wedding day, and we are so thankful for all their help and support in organizing and orchestrating our wedding! Thank you, Kristi and Missy!

    Just What We Needed

    We hired Kristi and Glow for our Sept. 2023 DC wedding at the DAR. Kristi was so responsive and took so much off our plate. We have busy jobs so the lead up to the wedding was potentially really stressful, but Kristi and Missy kept us on track and put us at ease. On the big day, everything was where it was supposed to be and at the right time, resulting in a stress-free day for the bride and groom (and, therefore, everyone else!). They really went the extra mile too, taking care of little details and issues you can't anticipate but that will definitely come up (e.g., getting a locked bathroom at the church unlocked)! Hire them!

    Highly recommend!

    We originally hired GLOW for day-of coordination on the recommendation of our venue (Woodend Sanctuary & Mansion in Chevy Chase) and it was the best money we spent in the wedding planning process. Kristi is a complete pro and helped us with vendor recommendations and figuring out timing in the months leading up to our wedding. We ultimately decided to add month-of planning as well and could not be happier -- the last few weeks before the big day were almost relaxing as we knew we were in great hands while they handled the final coordination with our vendors. On the day, Kristi and Missy kept everything moving so smoothly and we were just able to concentrate on our guests and on having a good time. GLOW saved us a lot of time and stress and helped us really enjoy our wedding -- would recommend without reservation!!

    One of the best decisions we made!

    Kristi was absolutely AMAZING to work with and we would recommend her to anyone (we already have!). We went with the option to have Kristi as our day-of coordinator. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, she helped us manage and finalize all the details, and day-of, we knew we were in great hands and could truly be guests at our own wedding. Weddings require a lot of decisions, big and small, but hiring Kristi and GLOW was hands-down one of the best decision we made. Book her ASAP if she's available on your date!

    Kristi and Missy are the Best

    Kristi came super highly recommended by pretty much every other vendor we had, and it was no surprise why. She is super organized and detail oriented and thought through details of our ceremony that I hadn't even realized needed to be addressed. Missy is also great and thoughtfully picked up all of our items from the ceremony from our place (which was 45 minutes from the venue) which saved us a stressful trip close to the wedding. They are an amazing team and handled the entire day with poise and ease--which included an unanticipated fainting spell prior to the ceremony. Kristi and Missy are pros, I would highly recommend them to anyone getting married!
