Hannah Sent on 04/22/2026So glad we went with Glow!
Hiring Glow Weddings and Events was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Having Kristi and Missy on board was such a relief — they made everything feel manageable and calm, even when there was a lot going on. They were incredibly easy to work with, always organized and responsive, and clearly knew what they were doing.
What stood out most was how thoughtful they were. They caught details we would have completely overlooked and handled things behind the scenes so smoothly that we were able to actually enjoy the day. The value for the cost was outstanding, and we truly felt like we got far more than we paid for.
We’re so grateful to Glow for making our wedding feel seamless and stress-free, and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for planners/coordinators for their big day! -

Mary Sent on 02/23/2026Wedding Planning Review
Kristi and Missy at Glow Events were incredible. We contacted them about 9 months in advance of our big day and they found all of our big vendors for reasonable prices. All the vendors they found were a 10/10. When it came down to coordination, Kristi and Missy did not miss a single detail. We could not have done it without them and I would recommend them to anyone. You will not be disappointed! -

Rebecca Sent on 11/11/2025Would recommend Glow to any couple looking for any kind of planning support!
We used Glow for a 70-person wedding in September and couldn't have been happier with how Missy and Kristi made it our perfect day. They are super flexible depending on what kind of support they offer, so you only spend money on the amount of planning help you need. We had some vendors locked in but needed help getting over the finish line on some decisions and vendors, and Kristi helped us achieve our final vision. They were always reachable to answer questions and talk through all the preparation we needed help with leading up to the wedding, and day-of they coordinated the day incredibly smoothly. They were always professional and fun to work with, and I would recommend them to any couple looking for a planner or design support for their wedding! -

Hannah Sent on 08/11/2025The best investment we made!
Hiring Missy and Kristi at GLOW as our wedding coordinators was easily the best investment we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, they were incredibly detail-oriented and responsive — always one step ahead and never letting anything fall through the cracks.
Their organization and professionalism significantly reduced my stress throughout the entire planning process. They broke things down in a way that made everything feel manageable and straightforward, clearly outlining what I needed to focus on and when.
Every little detail was thoughtfully considered, and it truly showed on the day of the wedding. I can't recommend them enough to anyone looking for peace of mind and top-tier service. They were an absolute dream to work with and played a huge role in making our wedding unforgettable. -

Nk Clark Sent on 07/03/2025Outstanding Day of Coordination Service!
Using GLOW for day of coordination services was the best decision that we made when planning our wedding! A few weeks prior to our wedding, Kristi and Missy set up time to meet with us so we could work through all of the details of our wedding day. They asked great questions, provided advice when we weren’t sure what was best, and took careful notes to ensure they captured our every request. Because of them, we were able to prepare for a lot of things that we would have never considered.
The week prior to the wedding they created specialized documents to help both us and our vendors understand the flow, timing, and expectations on our wedding day. This was a huge help to both us and our vendors.
Our actual wedding day went incredibly smooth thanks to GLOW. Kristi and Missy were always calm, professional, and receptive to our needs. They worked seamlessly in the background and kept to our timelines. We did not have to worry about one thing on our wedding day. I would 100% hire them again. BEST DEICISION!!
Also, we added the Beyond the Bustle package to capture footage of the speeches and ceremony, and we are so grateful we did! This is an excellent service and exactly what we were looking for in terms of videography. -

Corinne Sent on 05/10/2025Glow is great!
Kristi and Missy from GLOW provided day of coordination services for our wedding in April 2025 and they were truly excellent. They were responsive, professional, and detail oriented. In the lead up to our wedding they went through every tiny detail with us and made sure we were prepared with everything we needed and wanted for the big day. It’s just clear from the moment you meet them that Kristi and Missy are highly capable and will get the job done. They also personally knew many of our other vendors which shows that they’ve been in the business a long time. Our wedding day went perfectly and Missy even made sure everything we brought was packed in a car before we left. As brides we truly were able to let go and enjoy the day knowing Kristi and Missy had everything taken care of. Highly recommend! -

Lesley Sent on 04/30/2025Absolute must-have!
My wedding day could not have gone as amazingly as it did without the help of Kristi and her team at Glow. O hired her as a day-of coordinator and felt I got so much more from her services than I bargained for. Since our initial contact, Kristi has been responsive, thorough, and communicative. Our actual coordination kicked off about 6 weeks before my wedding day, and she and Melissa worked with me to ensure every single detail was accounted for and all potential problems were mitigated in advance. I know her team worked so hard to organize the day, and she even caught some issues missed by my other vendors. Her attention to detail and knowledge is truly unmatched! Even more helpful, Glow offered additional services like paper printing and miscellaneous item rentals (ie, car box) so I did not need to find additional sources for these needs. Regardless of what package you choose with Glow, your expectations will be exceeded by the high quality of support you receive! -

Harry Sent on 03/12/2025Fantastic, highly recommend
We hired GLOW for our February 2025 wedding at the National Museum of Women in the Arts. We worked with Kristi and Missy and they were absolutely amazing! They helped so much in the lead up to the event with coordinating vendors, and were amazing on they day of. They took care of everything expertly and we were able to just enjoy the day. Highly highly recommend! -

Ben F. Sent on 12/08/2024Kristi and Missy are incredible wedding planners
I've never worked with more effective project planners. Kristi and Missy are truly pros in their craft. They knew how work well with all of our unusual suggestions (including providing a welcome sign in the form of a hand-carved pumpkin), while advising and guiding our planning process to really take the most difficult aspects of wedding planning logistics off our plates.
Our friends and family said our wedding was the most fun, well-organized wedding they've attended in as long as they can remember. Anyone would be lucky to hire Kristi and Missy and their wedding coordinators/planners. -

Lauren Sent on 09/30/2024Stress free
Kristi and Missy were wonderful to work with for our June wedding at Woodend. They were on top of everything vendor related and made the lead up and day of go with ease. If there were any issues at our wedding we are totally unaware! I would highly recommend working with GLOW if you’re trying to have a low stress, well executed event! -

S Melamed Sent on 04/18/2024Organized 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! -

Ben Sent on 04/17/2024Best 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! -

Ilisa Sent on 11/17/2023Hiring 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. -

Rina Sent on 11/01/2023Amazing 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! -
![Brittany]()
Brittany Sent on 10/08/2023One 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! -

Lauren Sent on 08/27/2023Kristi rules
Kristi did a phenomenal job coordinating our wedding! We hired here for month-of coordination, and she also made herself available to answer my random questions in the months leading up to it, which was so helpful. Our venue was Woodend, and she knows the space incredibly well - I highly recommend hiring her if that's your venue. Everything went smoothly on the day of. If there were problems, I didn't know about them! Or as my husband put it, "because of Kristi, I didn't have to think." Don't hesitate to hire Glow for your wedding! Thanks Kristi, and sorry my review is so late! :) -
![Kristen]()
Kristen Sent on 07/23/2023Amazing Wedding Planner
Kristi and her team were excellent. My guests were very impressed at how the event flowed. Nothing felt rushed or too scheduled. Kristi made the planning process super easy by coordinating with my vendors, creating schedules, and contingency plans. I could not have asked for a better team. I took advantage of her amazing package add ons (Polaroid camera, games, and fans). My guests loved these additions. 10/10 recommend glow wedding and events!

Jamie Sent on 06/26/2023Kristi 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! -

Jwb Sent on 05/30/2023Kristi is a must for a smooth wedding day
I'm so happy we hired Kristi as our day-of coordinator. She is extremely organized and on top of everything. My main goal was having someone to coordinate and communicate with vendors on the wedding day (so I didn't have to!) and Kristi delivered that and so much more. She sent detailed itineraries for all of our vendors and wedding parry vendors so that everyone knew when and where to be on wedding day. She always answered any questions I had leading up to the wedding in a timely manner. And on the wedding day itself she was absolutely clutch helping me multiple times as my dress bustle kept breaking! She was calm and collected the whole day and even went out of her way to help my parents transport leftover materials back to their house. Thank you for everything, Kristi!! -

Ryan Sent on 05/13/2023Coordinated to the Detail
Kristi's level of communciation and pre-planning was very appreciated and allowed us to focus on other details and important items in the run up to our wedding. She connected with our vendors early to coordinate information as well. Our wedding was a smooth operation thanks to her and her teams hard work! -
![Elizabeth]()
Elizabeth Sent on 05/02/2023Fantastic service from an experienced professional!
We hired Kristi for day-of coordination based off a recommendation by our venue (Woodend Sanctuary in Chevy Chase), and we couldn’t have been more satisfied. Her professionalism and experience is unmatched, and we always felt like we were in safe hands. despite knowing absolutely nothing about event planning, and feeling very overwhelmed, she guided us through and answered every question with patience and knowledge. By the time our wedding happened, we were confident and calm knowing she’d have everything thought of. She was absolutely fantastic and we couldn’t have done it without her - hire her! -
![John]()
John Sent on 11/28/2022Excellent!!!
We cannot recommend Glow Weddings and Events highly enough. We hired Kristi as the month of coordinator for our wedding and she proved to be invaluable. She is clearly a professional but always made sure that she was executing our vision, we never felt like she was running through a checklist or pushing for a certain approach. She communicated with all our vendors efficiently and solved problems for us without us having to lift a finger. I can’t imagine how stressful the last few weeks of planning would have been had we not hired her as a coordinator.
Additionally, both of our parents thought she did a fantastic job, which was definitely a huge plus.
If you are looking to hire a coordinator for your wedding, Kristi is a fantastic choice. We strongly recommend the month of coordinator package, rather than just the day of, its worth every penny. -
![Emily]()
Emily Sent on 11/07/2022Goes above and beyond
Kristi Hartig is a marvel. I hired her because both my venue recommended her and two friends who got married in DC. She combines the best of both worlds: she brings a chill energy that helps you calm down, while also being 100% on top of everything. She was very knowledgeable about vendors to recommend without ever being pushy. When I booked her for a six-week-out package and then decided that I needed more support earlier on, she created a custom package for me (that was incredibly reasonable) to give me exactly what I needed. She's also scrupulously honest: I only wanted part of her "alcohol add-on" package, so she charged me only for what I used. My wedding was a little complicated--a Jewish/Hindu hybrid ceremony that I made up myself with a friend officiating; a baraat at a venue that had never done one before--but Kristi had every detail in hand. I'm sure she's great at other venues too, of course, but I will also add that she knows Woodend in particular like the back of her hand, knowledgeably rattling off statistics about the capacity of each space while we planned for rainy-day contingencies. Can't say enough good things! -

Claire Sent on 10/20/2022Peace of mind with GLOW Weddings
Kristi and her team at GLOW Weddings coordinated our wedding. We answered a long questionnaire which she used to customize her service to us and made our wedding day feel so special. I should mention that everything went off without a hitch thanks to GLOW. Kristi helped us think through the details that we otherwise would never have considered. She made sure we had everything we needed going into the wedding as well as leaving it! On wedding day, she was effective and discreet as the point of contact between all our vendors. I would definitely recommend GLOW Weddings! -

Amanda Sent on 10/18/2022A Perfect Day
Kristi was an amazing partner for our wedding day and I really enjoyed working with her! From our first conversation I knew she would make sure that everything would go exactly as planned. She knew the venue very well and took time to get to know us, our style, and created a plan that matched us perfectly. She had an extensive checklist to ensure we reviewed every detail and was responsive to all of our questions.
She created itineraries for each vendor and made sure everyone was on the same page for our big day.
On our wedding day everything went so smoothly, and Kristi was crucial in making that happen.
I highly recommend Kristi and Glow - it was like working with a trusted friend. -

Emily Sent on 08/12/2022Getting hitched without a hitch!
I started out a little skeptical of the need to hire a wedding coordinator, but was so glad I did. I hired GLOW for day-of coordination for my 80-guest wedding and was able to relax and thoroughly enjoy the day that seemed to go without a hitch. Kristi provided great vendor suggestions, made sure I asked all the right questions, and organized all the information into detailed itineraries for the wedding party and all vendors. She herded my under 13 wedding party through the rehersal and ceremony and communicated with vendors throughout the day. Quick to respond to questions, personable, and easy to communicate with-- I couldn't recommend Kristi and GLOW more! -

Allison Sent on 07/25/2022GLOW was the best decision
We hired Kristi from GLOW to do our day-of coordination for our wedding at Woodend Sanctuary. We chose the "Shimmer" month-of package and are so, so glad we did. Kristi sat down with us a month before our wedding and went through all of the aspects of the event to ensure it would go smoothly - and helped us think through details we hadn't even thought to consider, but made a big difference! She took over coordinating with all our vendors, and provided detailed itineraries for all of them so they were fully prepared. Kristi made sure deliveries were on time, set ups and photos were exactly as we wanted, etc. She made it so easy to just relax and enjoy the moment on our wedding day! Also, she was easy to communicate with, quick to respond, and her knowledge of Woodend as a venue helped a ton. I really don't know what we would have done without her. Thank you, Kristi!! -

Kristi was great! She was super responsive and attentive to our needs. We truly wanted to have fun at our wedding and not sweat the small stuff.

Kristi is wonderful!
Kristi was our day of coordinator for our wedding at Woodend Sanctuary in the DMV Area. She supported us leading up to our wedding and was really open and excited about our ideas to try things out that she hadn't done before at the venue. She made us feel comfortable as an LGBT and Jewish couple. Our day went so smoothly and it is thanks to Kristi and her team! Attached a few photos of the day PC: https://shawneecustalow.com/

Kristi and her assistant Missy were a DREAM to work with! They made our wedding day so carefree and exactly as we imagined it. From our first call with Kristi, we knew we were in good hands. She is a very detail oriented person with tons of knowledge about vendors in the DC area. We hired her for month-of coordination as well as a couple hourly consultation calls. She recommended the most wonderful vendors and helped us stick to our budget. On the wedding day, she kept everything running so smoothly. We are so happy with our experience and highly recommend GLOW weddings!! -

Maureen Sent on 12/05/2021Perfection!
INCREDIBLE!!! We didn't know much about how Wedding Coordinators worked, but we knew we were going to need help the month and day of ... especially in the wake of a major house reno at the time of our wedding. Kristi and her team were AMAZING!!! From day one, she was making recommendations on aspects of a wedding and vendor relationships we never could've even thought of ... but they made our day run so smoothly. The day of, Kristi and her team completely turned around our venue and made it look gorgeous ... and they did it in about an hour (the venue has pretty unique time limits). Then during execution of the night, she was there every step of the way - making sure we hit our timelines, getting the guests in the right places, etc. EVERYONE said how much fun this wedding was and I know it was all because of Kristi and the Glow team!!! -

Becca Sent on 10/12/2021So glad we hired Kristi!
We originally hired Kristi for our April 2020 wedding for a month of coordination, but ended up canceling in March. Kristi honored our contract and was very happy to work with us when we ultimately scheduled for October 2021. Her questionnaires, lists, and timelines helped me to stay on track and organized as we entered the final days of planning, and she was a helpful resource to be able to go to for advice when anything got tricky or confusing. She came to my parents' house to quickly rehearse the ceremony the day before the wedding so we could all feel a bit more comfortable. On the day of, as the bride, I felt like everything was handled--the venue setup looked better than I could have imagined, the ceremony went smoothly, and Kristi handled anything small that came up so I didn't have to worry about it. She also brought all our pesonal items back the night of the wedding so we could have access to them for the brunch the day after. So glad we hired her!! Thank you Kristi! -

Meticulous in her work, going above and beyond and putting us at ease the days leading up to our date.

Amelia Sent on 08/04/2021One of the best wedding-related decisions you'll make
I consider myself to be a very organized person (I even run events as part of my job), but Kristi's skills and experience are unparalleled when it comes to pulling off a seamless wedding day. I am in awe of how well Kristi managed all the logistics, both in advance of and on the day itself. We had a lot of DIY components so I was nervous about how it would all come together, but Kristi handled everything so perfectly, I didn't even think to worry about anything throughout the day! All of our wedding vendors were absolutely amazing, but Kristi truly made it a lovely, stress-free day. Highly, highly recommend Kristi to any bride! -

Kristi was incredibly detail oriented which led to a fabulous stress free wedding.
