    Thank you Honey & Lavender!!!

    Christina Sin was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was so responsive, kind, and made sure everything was executed perfectly for a beautiful wedding ceremony at the World War II Memorial. She coordinated a huge party at Dauphine’s located in Washington, DC after the ceremony. As a vendor, I couldn’t have asked for a more helpful planner to work with while keeping us updated on all of the necessary information on behalf of the bride and groom. We can’t wait to work with her again!

    A wonderful experience!

    After being referred by a friend, we chose Honey and Lavender Events to be our month-of coordinator. I love to plan and enjoyed planning our wedding, but wanted to be able to hand over the logistics of the day over to someone capable so I would be able to let loose and enjoy the day. This was the best decision. Christina was assigned to our wedding and was wonderful! She thought of every detail, made sure our rehearsal and wedding timeline ran so smoothly. Additionally, she went above and beyond helping us find a new location for our first look photos, when my dream location didn’t work out a few days before the wedding. Little did I know, the location Christina was able to secure provided the most beautiful background of portraits I could have ever imagined. Lastly, on the day of the wedding, we were introduced to Jasmine and Emily, they also went above and beyond, even using their own jackets to keep our flower girl warm. Overall, we had a wonderful experience with Honey and Lavender Events and highly recommend them for your next event.

    Honey & Lavender Events's reply:

    We absolutely loved working with you both and were thrilled to have been able to help you find your dream location for your First Look photos. Cheers to marriage!

    Best planner ever!

    I had a new years wedding this year with lots of moving parts. H&L made my day flow FLAWLESSLY, I was able to thoroughly enjoy my wedding day along with my guests and there were literally NO HICCUPS or fires to put out on my end at all, all day. I can't speak highly enough of H&L - my day was perfect because of Maya and Christina!!! They are INCREDIBLY organized, thorough, thoughtful planners who have an incredible eye for design and think of every corner case that might come up. If you want a perfect wedding, you go to these folks - you're doing it wrong if you go anywhere else!!!!!

    All-around awesome planning team!

    I photographed a wedding that Christina at Honey & Lavender produced at Iron Gate Restaurant in DC. In the lead up to the event she was very communicative and flexible, easy to flesh out a photo timeline with, and even helped location scout the venues and shared photos with me ahead of time! Working alongside her and Jasmine on the day of was a breeze. They pulled together a beautiful day, helped me move the couple from venue to venue, organized family for photos on a super tight timeline (a massive help and not something coordinators always assist with!!). More than that, she was generally super nice and funny to work with! A delight. Would love to team up again. Definitely recommend hiring and/or working with Christina if you want an easy day and happy vendor team! :)

    Lovely Wedding Planning Team!

    I had the pleasure of working with Christina from Honey and Lavender Events recently on a wedding in the heart of Washington, DC. From planning a thorough walkthrough ahead of the event in the location to the day of the event onsite, Christina and her team were gracious and helpful, keeping everything on time with schedule and making sure everyone's needs were met. She was attentive throughout and ensured the wedding was a huge success and I look forward to our next time working together!!

    Best wedding planner

    Maya was a delight to work with. Wonderful communication skills and very knowledgeable about vendors, from florist to catering and photography. A calm in the storm on the day of the wedding, making sure all was going according to plan and reassuring us along the way. I would recommend Maya for your next event. She was so personable and professional at the same time

    My heroes!

    Hosting a wedding rehearsal while not living in the venue area is daunting. Until, you meet Maya and team. The Honey & Lavender team were professional, communicative and made great recommendations. Even with my work travel creating delays on my end, they took care of every detail. I highly recommend the team and services.

    Worth Every Penny, a Real Professional

    We had a challenging wedding, my fiancée and I were living in Chicago, but decided to hold our wedding at my Mother's farm in Southeastern Maryland. Also, my aforementioned Mother . . . strong-willed and very focused on Her vision for the wedding. So odds stacked against us, distance, away fixture, several cooks in the kitchen, and your typical groom's Mother / MIL caricature.

    We need a pro to help with the logistics, the vendors, the day-of cat herding, and to act as an independent arbitrator for the various vested interests. We found Mya, Her Team, and Milk&Honey. Mya was the ringer we needed, an absolute professional, and worth every penny.

    Everything came off without a hitch, would not have been a reality without the help, coordination and hand-holding of Mya and her excellent staff. Could not sing her praises louder.

    If you have a complicated wedding coming up, hire Mya and her Team, you won't be disappointed.

    Honey & Lavender Events's reply:

    Thank you for the kind words. Working on your wedding day was the most rewarding and satisfying thing for us. It was a pleasure working with you and your families!

    Maya Rules

    We couldn’t have picked a better wedding planner. Maya was with us every step of the way. She was always cognizant of what we were doing and how to handle the situation in the perfect way. She even went above and beyond by giving some of our guests who were left behind by the shuttle bus (that’s a whole other story) a ride to the ceremony. She has a special staff, including Jules, who helped get some last-minute rehearsal dinner things squared away. Jules also took time out of her night during cleanup, when she was no doubt exhausted, to help us find something that we thought we left behind.

    The biggest thing that impressed us was that Maya always made sure that we weren’t overwhelmed and took everything she could off our plate. Her knowledge of all the venders and establishments as well as the relationships she’s built in the D.C. area make her an invaluable asset. All this included Maya setting up the design of our wedding, which was, trust me, intricate and difficult to manage and breaking it all down. She’s also the bubbliest, sweetest person. She earned all her stars and then some. We’d want her to be our planner 100 out of 100 times.

    Thank you for the kind words! Your wedding was absolutely stunning and both of you are the sweetest people. You made our jobs so easy!

    Honey and Lavender is the best!

    I absolutely recommend this vendor. Maya is incredibly attentive, detail-oriented, and helpful. She quickly responds to emails and makes sure our needs are met when we had requests. I don't think our wedding would have been so awesome without her team.

    Honey & Lavender Events's reply:

    We loved working with you all as well! Glad the day was beautiful and poignant despite us all having to pivot because of the rain! No one missed a beat.

    Maya and her team are wonderful to work with and her deep relationships with top-tier vendors allowed us to be able to have things just the way we wanted them. For a day-of wedding planner, we felt as cared for as any other client and thanks to their support, had the perfect day.

    Such a professional, yet warm, personal team

    We are so grateful to have met the Honey and Lavender Team and been able to work with them to plan this memorable day with our closest family and friends!

    We honestly don’t know what we would have done without them. On our first Zoom meeting, they were so professional, organized, yet so warm and personable. We knew they were the team we could rely on. From organizing and creating the event timeline for the other vendors, making any adjustments due to our last minute requests, coming by our house to pick up items for the ceremony and reception, setting up and cleaning up, making sure everyone was having a good time, the list goes on and on!

    We cannot wait to see the Honey and Lavender team grow more and more!

    Honey & Lavender Events's reply:

    We absolutely LOVED working with you both! You made our job so easy. Our entire team adores you, Aram. :-)

    Absolutely Amazing!

    Without question, hiring Honey & Lavender Events was the BEST investment we made for our wedding! From our first meeting with Maya, she was professional and thorough, but also personable and really took the time to listen to our vision. We booked the Wedding Management package to help us finalize our details leading up to the wedding. Once we hit the 30 day mark, it was full speed ahead and Maya put us in contact with Christina, who was assigned as our day-of coordinator. Words cannot express how amazing and awesome Christina was - she was detailed and stayed on top of EVERYTHING, including communicating with our venue, vendors and bridal party, and helped us come up with the timeline of the day.

    On our wedding day, Christina and Jasmine (wedding day assistant), quarterbacked the logistics perfectly. Everything ran so smoothly and it was refreshing just being able to enjoy and be present. The team helped us navigate any little hiccup that came up, but overall everything was beyond perfect. One of our most memorable moments was walking into the ballroom before our guests, only to see every detail and decoration we sent to Christina executed flawlessly by Olivia, who they brought in to help with set up. H&L made our vision come to life! We are forever grateful for the entire Honey & Lavender team and we highly recommend working with them!

    What a wonderful review to read on Thanksgiving! We so enjoyed working with you both. Your wedding vision was absolutely stunning and we were honored to make sure it was achieved.

    Awesome wedding planner

    We worked with Maya to plan our wedding and cannot recommend her enough. Her expertise in planning and managing all aspects of the wedding day, her vendor suggestions, and her consistent and clear communication were incredibly appreciated. She's also just a really fun person to work with. Without a doubt, she played a huge role in our having an awesome day.

    Don't plan your wedding without Honey & Lavender

    My husband and I are so lucky to have met the Honey & Lavender team! They walked us through the wedding planning process each step of the way, kept us on track to make sure we hit all of our deadlines, and created a beautiful, stress-free wedding day for us! They are incredibly professional, responsive, and above all else, so nice. Maya is amazing and runs a great show, and her day-of coordinators Christina and Jasmine who actually made our day happen are out of this world awesome. They took care of everything, went above and beyond, and didn't let us lift a finger - all with a smile on their face and such kindness along the way. If you're even remotely considering a wedding planner & day-of coordinator, don't hesitate and look no further!!

    Thank you so much for the kind words! We loved working with you all so much on your beautiful day and union.

    Maya is best!

    Maya was a dream to work with! We met with her a few times before our wedding and she really took the time to get to know us and understand our wedding vision. I was an anxious bride but she settled my worries and I placed my full trust in her expertise! On our wedding day, Maya and her assistant, Mari, literally took care of everything and made sure our day was flawless. I had a few surprises for my husband and Maya made sure each one was executed without a hitch. We couldn’t have asked for a better team!

    Honey & Lavender Events's reply:

    We loved working with you and Erik. You both truly made our jobs easy. The venue was stunning, as we were all the personal details and surprises for each other.

    Dream Event Planner

    I contacted Maya almost three months ago to help me plan a surprise picnic proposal for my girlfriend, Erika, at the National Arboretum in DC. Together, Maya and I diligently designed and brought to life my vision for the perfect proposal; complete with curated flowers, furniture, and tableware that exceeded my expectations. Maya thought to add several other very personal touches to the proposal surrounding our relationship. Erika and I both have a love for Spain so a Spanish red, cheese and charcuterie were hand-selected. Since we love to travel, and Erika is a flight attendant, Maya thought to have a wooden airplane table number made with our names engraved on it. Maya and Honey & Lavender Events are an absolute treasure and were key in making October 24th the best day of our lives - so far!

    Honey & Lavender Events's reply:

    Alex - it was so wonderful working with you on this wonderful proposal. You are such a thoughtful groom!

    Could not have done it without H&L!

    I knew early on that I would need a wedding planner as my job is always super busy. I'm organized but couldn't do it all and was so glad I realized that before we got far in the planning. Maya and her team at Honey & Lavender absolutely exceeded our expectations, were such a joy to work with, kept us on track, relieved SO much stress, and really became a friend. I *highly* recommend working with her for your wedding (or other events!). You definitely will not be disappointed.

    We absolutely loved working with you and Andrew throughout the entire planning process. You both were dream clients!

    Honey & Lavender a Blessing for a Perfect Stress-free Weddingng

    I don't even know where to begin. Obviously a little Guardian angel led me to Honey and Lavender when searching for a Wedding Planner and we are so grateful we Maya Mahoney. From the minute Amanda and Andrew reached out to you all the way to the end of the Wedding Reception Maya and Juliette were professional, fun, caring, always on top of things, and calm which are all the things a bride and groom need. Never once did we feel like we were left hanging waiting on information or have any concern as Maya made sure we knew all was on target with the timeline and there was nothing to worry about. Juliette was also very helpful and a delight to be with on the day of the wedding. Maya is the best and we greatly appreciate how well she does her job and runs her business. I highly recommend Honey and Lavender to anyone looking for the finest Wedding Planner in the DC area. My daughter's Wedding was in Baltimore and flawless thanks to Maya and her team. Krista Hall (Mother of the Bride)

    We absolutely adored working with Amanda and Andrew (and their parents!) They made our job so easy. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better wedding.

    Amazing and worth every penny

    Maya and her team (particularly Juliet!) were great from day one. She was so good at keeping me on schedule, thinking of the smallest details, and providing great recommendations for vendors.

    Three days prior to our wedding reception, there was a 98% chance of rain and thunderstorms. And, three days prior, we were informed by the venue that we could not have a tent for cocktail hour, which had been promised to us during the entire process in the event of rain. Maya handled so much back-and-forth, and long story short, Maya convinced the venue to allow us to bring in an outside tent vendor, which required Maya and her team calling 19 (not a typo!) tent vendors to find a tent available for our reception on such short notice. I was shocked she was able to pull it off, but that's what Maya does. And in the end, our reception was truly great and more perfect than we could have imagined!

    Hands down, engaging H&L Events for our vow renewal was the best decision we made

    My husband and I hired Honey & Lavender Events for full-service planning of our 10-year vow renewal. We eloped when we got married and this was our chance to have a wedding-like event that we had promised our family and friends to one-day hold.

    Maya and her team were AMAZING! They immediately got a sense of our vision and hopes for the event, helped identify a stellar team of vendors, kept us on track in terms of tasks and budget, came up with creative ideas when we were stumped, were excellent communicators - with us and our vendor team, helped us navigate the vagaries of event planning during a pandemic, and took care of the details so we could enjoy our guests and each other.

    People asked us if we were stressed in the days prior to our vow renewal and our ability to honestly respond, "No" was all due to the competence and care of Maya and her team.

    I would hire them again in a heartbeat and would recommend them enthusiastically to others.

    Honey & Lavender Events's reply:

    We absolutely loved working with you and Ray. Your stunning dinner was one for the books and will forever be a favorite of our team's.

    Wonderful to work with

    Maya was very thoughtful and considerate. She anticipated our needs and always had a helpful suggestion, which was invaluable for two very indecisive people. She really guided us through the process and made everything so easy, and really listened to what we wanted. The wedding was lovely and reflected us as a couple.

    We loved working with you and Derek on your sweet and beautiful wedding. You are such wonderful, kind, and down to earth people. Best of luck abroad in the coming months!

    Amazing Experience!

    Working with Maya at Honey & Lavendar was an absolute pleasure! We recently collaborated on a styled shoot for Valentine's Day and everything was so smoothly executed and handled professionally. She is a great communicator and the passion she has for her job really shines through. I would highly recommend her for your event!

    Fantastic Wedding Planners!

    We LOVE working with Honey & Lavender Events! They have a great team of planners who we’ve had the pleasure of working with on multiple occasions. Most recently, we did a wedding with Christina, who was an absolute delight to work with - not only was she incredibly organized and professional, but she was also extremely easy going and never demanding, while making sure all of the vendors were in tune with one another throughout every aspect of the day. A true professional who cares deeply for her clients and knows how to have fun and get things done! Thank you for everything you do Christina! See you on the next one! :)
