    First Class Wedding Planner!

    Mia and her team at LAE were the key to a relaxing wedding planning experience! When my daughter asked me to help plan her wedding I quickly realized this was far more complicated than I realized. After our first conversation with Mia I knew she was the one to guide us on this journey to a memorable day. She excels in communicating with the many vendors and our caterer raved about working with her. My daughter and her husband had a dream wedding day thanks to LAE!

    Mia was Magnificent!

    Mia was a joy to work with! Incredibly organized, detail oriented, and at the same time calm and easy going. Mia ensured that everything worked toward my daughter and her (now) husband’s vision for their special day. And when that day came, it was perfect. Her team were polished and professional and even came up with a plan to execute something we thought wouldn’t work at the last minute. They handled everything calmly ( even the bee that got caught in the lining of an attendant’s dress!). I honestly believe that hiring Mia and Little Acorn Events was the best investment we made for this wedding. We were all able to have the most magical, stress free day because Mia and her team were handling every detail. I would give Little Acorn Events a 10 out of 10!

    Highly Recommend Little Acorn Events

    From our first conversation with Mia, we knew she was the wedding planner for us! Not only is Mia a wonderful person, but she is an exceptional wedding planner. As new Charlottesville residents, she guided us through the wedding planning process, and recommended a fantastic team of vendors. She always made time to answer my many, many questions, and helped us to create a wedding day that felt like us.

    On our wedding day, we were blown away by both Mia and Kinsey. Their expertise and attention to detail put us at ease, and thanks to all of their hard work, absolutely everything went according to plan. Our families and wedding party raved about Mia and Kinsey, and we could not be happier about how everything turned out. Thanks to Mia and Kinsey, we had the perfect day!

    Highly 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!

    Highly Recommend LAE

    Mia and her team were the absolute best. We cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible service that was provided. Every detail was executed flawlessly, making our special day unforgettable. Mia demonstrated a level of professionalism and expertise that exceeded our expectations, and her ability to manage all aspects of the wedding process, from minor details to unexpected hiccups, was outstanding. We never had any issue with communication throughout the entire process and Mia was always available to answer questions or offer guidance when it was needed. She was very easy to work with. Mia prides herself in curating weddings in which her couples feel like “guests''. Because of this mentality, we didn’t have a single stressor on our wedding day and got to enjoy the day surrounded by our loved ones. Hiring Mia was the best decision we made when planning our wedding. We would highly recommend the LAE team; without them, our day wouldn’t have been nearly as perfect.

    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!

    Truly perfect!

    The LAE team made our wedding even more perfect than we could have imagined. We worked with Lydia and Macie during our wedding day and they were the best. They were so professional and personable, everyone loved having them around. Lydia was very attentive to all details and communication with our vendors for a few weeks leading up to our wedding day, which helped immensely with any last minute stress. They helped so much and it was amazing to truly be able to enjoy our wedding day with no added stress. I would highly recommend the LAE team.

    Book for the MOST FUN wedding experience!

    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.

    The 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!

    Look no further -- your wedding planning extraordinaire is here.

    There are no words to express how grateful we are for Mia & Little Acorn Events. From the very beginning stages of planning to the very end, Mia was so thorough, responsive, and detail-oriented. She is excellent at making her clients feel calm and supported. I barely had to do anything throughout the whole process -- she really did carry our team. On the day of the wedding, I didn't lift a finger. She made sure everything ran smoothly and according to our vision. Even when there were inevitably a few hiccups (such as being unable to locate our grand exit sparklers), Mia sprung into action with quick thinking and resourcefulness, setting everything back on track. We were left absolutely speechless by her care and attention. Her passion is evident in everything that she touches.

    Everything LAE does is so carefully curated and thoughtfully designed that I guarantee your wedding will exceed all expectations.

    Mia was responsive, attentive and always inclusive.

    Mia Crump is an excellent manager, field general, administrator and sometimes social worker.
    Little Acorn Events helped our families host an awesome wedding that was truly epic.

    AMAZING 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.

    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.

    Mia is my Hero

    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.

    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!

    Fantastic Wedding Planner

    Mia was a dream to work with! She is so organized, professional, personable and experienced. She was especially supportive during the process of postponing our wedding due to covid, and we don’t know what we would have done without her! If you are looking for a friendly, knowledgeable planner who can support your vision and give you peace of mind on your big day, Mia would be the perfect planner for you!

    Mia's expertise and organization made planning our daughter's wedding so much more enjoyable and kept the process to smooth and stress free.

    Mia was wonderful in handling details with vendors and helping to bring us options to make decisions, as we were planning not only during a pandemic but also while we juggled work life, and other responsibilities. You can trust her to make your vision come to life.

    Excellent!

    Our wedding was postponed three times due to COVID and Mia was there for us every step of the way. Her execution was flawless and boy does she know how to direct a crowd. Her organizational skills and cheery, professional attitude allowed us to focus on our guests and have a fantastic time on our big day. Thank you Mia!
