TL;DR Hire Eddie & his amazing team!!
TL;DR:
Eddie and Nicole did an amazing job from the first call, through the planning, and eventually, to running the show on the big day.
Eddie brings his vast experience of running events in different domains into the wedding space to alleviate almost all of the stress of planning a wedding. Just Hire Impact Collective!
----
My wife and I have worked with Eddie and his amazing team at Impact Collective for almost a year to plan our version of "the perfect wedding." From the first call, we knew we liked Eddie because of his demeanor, experience, ability to listen, and help us begin to create the vision for our wedding. Since we lived outside the state of Virginia, we relied on them to provide us with the best set of options for venues, caterers, and musicians. When we would fly into VA, they would graciously take us to our appointments, listen to our critiques, and assist us with making the best decisions based on our styles. In case you are interested, our choices were:
venue: Stone Tower Winery (amazing place, view, and staff)
caterer: Well Dunn Catering (amazing food and staff)
cake: Edibles Incredible (amazing cake)
musicians: ceremony-Elan Strings quartet (amazing sound)
cocktail hour- Eli Lev (amazing musician)
reception- DJ Aria (amazing DJ)
From a planning perspective, I was amazed at how stress free the process was, and that was entirely due to Eddie & Impact Collective.
On the big day, Eddie and Nicole ensured everything ran on schedule, and remained as stress free as one could be on such a day. Our guests loved the venue, music, food, and cake. In fact, they still mention that weeks later.
Eddie, Nicole, and Impact Collective took our ideas, created a vision, and ultimately, delivered that vision beyond our expectations. We were extremely lucky to have found them, and highly recommend them for your special day!

Incredible attention to detail
Eddie and his team are top notch! They are super professional, very responsive, and have a great attention to detail (which is very important when planning any event). I was at a 40th birthday party they planned at a vineyard, and talk about impressive! They managed to turn the outdoor patio into a club/lounge, while the inside had a rustic feel with a live band. It was something for everyone! But my favorite part was the customized soft pretzel station, yum! This kind of focus, level of detail and great ideas is what results in a flawless event. I have been to several events put on by the IMPACT team and I was blown away every time.

On top of it from the start
Eddie reached out right away after we expressed interest in IMPACT Collective and he and his team began asking questions right from the start to make sure we had the experience we were looking for. Nicole led our month-of coordination services and was amazing to work with, on top of everything, and with a great attitude. The team made planning the final details and the final execution perfect. Definitely recommend working with these guys!

Amazing!
You'd be a FOOL to not work with Impact. They were SUCH a joy to work with from beginning to end. My husband and I planned a lot of the wedding details ourselves, and it was so nice to have Eddie and Nicole to bounce ideas off as as the planning process progressed. They clearly know their stuff when it comes to events and were so professional, efficient, friendly, and chill - which was much appreciated given how stressful wedding planning can be at times.
We had a walk through about a month before our event which was so helpful and they made sure that we were comfortable and could visualize how everything would work on the day of the event.
The actual event more than exceeded my expectations - all of the decor looked AMAZING, Eddie and Nicole made us a nice big plate of food and found us a quiet spot to eat, they handled some party crashers (which I didn't even know about until after the wedding - thanks to them!), and had awesome judgement and were quick moving when our tight timeline got thrown off due to a few logistical issues out of their control. They were so great to work with and made sure all of our needs were met that night, and consulted us on just the right amount of details without letting us be worried when things were a little thrown off. Honestly - everything went perfectly in my eyes, and I am so thankful for Impact being the awesome pros that they are and CRUSHING the wedding game. We just wish we could go back and relive how epic it was.
A friend of ours who was at the wedding already wants to throw her gala at Union Stage with Impact (if that's not validation of job well done, then I don't know what is!!).
I would 100000% book them again for our wedding and hope our paths cross in the future because they are just all around awesome people. USE IMPACT FOR YOUR EVENT - you will be SO happy you did.

The Perfect Rock Show Wedding
I cannot speak highly enough about Eddie, Nicole, and Impact Collective. Our Wedding at Union Stage was perfect for us, and they worked with my now wife (eep!) and I every step of the way to make sure we had the best experience.
From the planning phase to day-of to post-wedding, they helped us navigate the treacherous waters of wedding shenanigans. They did little things like meeting me beforehand to check out potential first look spots, they made sure we ate something on the wedding night, and they opened the place up the next day when we realized we left things at the venue. They also did big things like making sure our parents and grandparents were comfortable, making sure all of our questions were answered promptly in the planning phase, and from start to finish, they treated us like people instead of just paychecks.
I've seen a commercial lately that has a line that stuck with me, "People don't remember what you say, they remember how you make them feel." I think that line perfectly describes our wedding with Eddie and Nicole. It was the most fantastic night of my life, and because of their efforts, I will forever look back at our wedding and feel warmth, happiness, and love.
Thank you, Eddie, Nicole, and Impact Collective. Sending y'all the best of vibes.

We held an event last week, and can't say enough great things about Eddie and his team. Not only were they really enjoyable (and easy) to work with, but they did everything they could to make the process of booking the venue, logistics, and day of support as enjoyable as possible.
