Victoria S. Sent on 01/06/2024Highly recommend!
We chose the partial planning package with the power planning session add on. My husband and I we wanted to do a lot of the planning and decision making ourselves, but the power planning session with Mia helped us tremendously in terms of where to start and making sure we were well equipped to do so. The LAE team was always an email away if we had questions about a contract or wanted design advice, etc. so while we did a lot ourselves, they were always there for us to turn to. We aren't from the Charlottesville area so they were a huge resource for us. As we moved closer to our day we began to work with our month-of-coordinator, Lydia, who is absolutely amazing. Lydia stepped in and took so much off of our plate in the last month from coordination with vendors, offering advice on anything and everything, and answering my probably excessive amount of emails. Lydia brought a much-needed calm demeanor to what can be a very chaotic and stressful time. The last few weeks leading up to and our wedding day went so smoothly thanks the Lydia and Macie. We were able to soak up every second of the day because they handled anything and everything. She was ready to tackle anything we needed help with, we felt so lucky to be paired with her and would choose LAE again and again! Highly recommend! -

The best part of our wedding planning experience!
I cannot stress enough how much my husband (yay!) and I enjoyed working with Mia during the more than year long process of planning our wedding. We obviously had no idea where to begin, but Mia was there every step of the way to keep us on track with helpful to do lists and monthly meetings. On the day of our wedding, we were projected to have some significant storms and Mia was constantly in touch about our back up plan, and the back up plan for the back up, Our bridal party and guests commented frequently throughout the night on how impressed they were with her professionalism and attention to detail. I can truly say that our wedding would not have been nearly as beautiful and special as it was without Mia. We can't thank you enough! -

Mia and her team were fantastic! They went above and beyond throughout the entire process. We did a lot of research and met with a lot of potential wedding planners and definitely found the perfect fit. -

Mia & her team were key & essential to our wedding day - but most importantly, in the year leading up to it. We booked a partial planning package with LAE and Mia was amazing at delegating fun tasks to us while taking care of business that was challenging for us from abroad. We had a small 40 person wedding on a lake in Virginia (not an easy location to get vendors to agree to do!) and she curated such an amazing vision that totally aligned with our vision. LAE used awesome digital platforms like aisle planner and honeybook that helped us and our families track everything going on. She was able to suggest ideas and vendors that totally made us realize she "gets" us as a couple. Personality wise, Mia felt like a best friend we were planning our wedding alongside; however, professionally her knowledge of the industry and authority with decision making and keeping things on track was a huge comfort to us. We were both in two different locations and never close to our wedding location, often making phone calls to Mia from across the globe and needing to coordinate time zones. I am still amazed at how perfect everything turned out. This was the absolute best thing we spent budget on for our wedding because it allowed us to relax and enjoy the process rather than thinking of our wedding like a constant "to-do-list". Mia was a great listener, balanced our different opinions, helped sort through tension with vendors, guests, weather, and other situations flawlessly. Most importantly, she was a great communicator and incredibly responsive within a reasonable timeframe. Even though LAE is an incredibly successful business, we felt like we were their most important clients at all times! We are forever grateful for Mia and LAE's work, kindness, patience, and care. -

Zac C. Sent on 04/18/2023The Best Wedding Planner In the Charlottesville Area!
If you are looking for a wedding planner STOP right here because Little Acorn Events is it! Working with Mia honestly felt like working with a best friend! My groom and I were planning our wedding from overseas and throughout the planning, people constantly commented on how difficult this must be, but this could not be further from the truth thanks to Mia and her team! She was so easy to talk to and made you feel at ease from the start. She has the tools and connections to help plan the smallest of details, but also allows you to visualize what your day will look like and knows just the person for even the most unique requests – she helped us locate a Gelateria for a gelato cart! She also doesn't shoot down ideas that seem crazy and helps you figure out a way to get there even if the first option is outside the budget.
While Mia and her team were amazing leading up to the wedding, they really blew us away on the big day! Throughout the process Mia’s calm and confident demeanor was reassuring, but every Bride is still going to worry that the day isn't going to be exactly how they visualized. Well fear not because Mia and her team - they got you! My biggest stressor was decor (tables, dance floor, florals, etc.), but Mia meticulously listened to every detail I wanted and created a space that was better than I could have ever dreamt. Additionally, from the start of the wedding weekend, she took control and she addressed every concern or hiccup flawlessly; I am truly envious of her ability to remain calm under pressure!
She also provides her brides with an emergency kit that is all-inclusive for anything that could possibly go wrong – my bridesmaids and I loved this! My new groom and I will miss our monthly meetings with Mia, but we are so excited to see what’s next for Little Acorn Events and their couples!

Katherine R. Sent on 09/27/2022AMAZING day of coordinator!!
I cannot say enough positive things about Mia. She has a way of calming you down and making everything seem like it’s going to work out perfectly. I hired her as a “day of” coordinator and she was such a huge help in the final sprint to our wedding. She put together a flawless timeline and helped make many of my dreams a reality. She helped us execute our ceremony rehearsal to make our ceremony go flawlessly. She transformed our venue into the space of my dreams the day of our wedding. And, as rain decided to descend on our entirely outdoor wedding, she helped to orchestrate a move under the tent that left us with just as beautiful of a day as I could have ever hoped for. My parents and wedding party could not stop raving about how wonderful and helpful she was the day of the wedding. I hope that our paths cross again because she truly is an amazing person.Little Acorn Events's reply:
Thank you so much for this incredible note, Katie! It was such a joy to be part of your day, and I feel so lucky to have connected with you so strongly. I will look forward to our paths crossing again! -

Made our day go smoothly!
I originally chose Little Acorn after a conversation with Mia. It really felt like catching up with an old friend. Over the months that followed, Mia was able to provide me with so much advice and was able to gut check vendors (even though I only hired her for the day of coordination). This just goes to show how kind and helpful she was! Sarah (who works on Mia’s team) ended up being our actual Day of Coordinator, which originally caused me anxiety (I was a bride-to-be, what can I say), but Sarah absolutely rocked the day! She floated around in the background putting out all sorts of fires and kept checking up with my husband and me to make sure we were fed and had something to drink. I know this is earlier in Sarah’s career at Little Acorn, but we were truly impressed with how she handled all of the shifts in the schedule and chaos that a wedding can bring.

This woman is not only an incredible wedding coordinator, but also a lovely human. She helped us every step of the way for our day of coordination and took extra time to walk through it all at the rehearsal and meet with us in advance. Cannot say enough positive things about her- would recommend to anyone looking for assistance in planning and coordinating.Little Acorn Events's reply:
Thank you so much for this review, Jess! You truly made my day with this! I feel so lucky to have been a part of your wedding, and to have had the opportunity to connect with such incredible humans there! You two surround yourself with people who are genuinely good, kind, and wonderful, and that speaks volumes of the type of energy you + Garrett attract! Thank you for trusting me on your special day, and cheers to many beautiful years for you two ahead! -

Mia was phenomenal from start to finish! We just instantly clicked. She was so helpful the day of and weeks before our wedding. She called and verified all of our vendors, made an awesome day of timeline, came to our rehearsal and kept us fed, hydrated and on task the day of the wedding. She made great reccomendations and truly just exceeded our expectations. She was such a stress-relief! Thank you so much Mia!Little Acorn Events's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words, Julie! It was such an absolute pleasure to be a a part of your day! I still have a skip in my step from the utter joy that just permeated your entire day.

We loved Mia! We used her day of coordinator package and she executed our day fantastically! She was quick to respond when I had questions leading up to our day. She helped with everything from our final walk through, rehearsal, to the break down of our wedding. Our day went so smoothly thanks to Mia! I know I would’ve been way more stressed on my day without her and her assistant. If you need a wedding planner she is your best bet :).Little Acorn Events's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words, Sydni! I love that sparkler photo on your profile--so glad we made that happen despite the cold! It was a blast to be a part of your wedding!
