    One of the best planners in the DMV!

    I first came across Sweetface events when I was a Catering Sales Manager in Old Town, VA selling weddings at The Alexandrian and Morrison House hotels. They impressed me so much by not only how on top of things they were but how personable they were with their couples and hotel staff. When my time came and I moved down to Florida I knew there was no other wedding planner I would want to go with. Deidre and Serena are some of the most genuine and humble people in the wedding industry. They also connected me with Allison who did my day of stationary - everything was so perfect leading up to the day and day off. This is your planner if you want someone to not only care about your special day but also care about the whole experience. Very thankful I went with Sweetface!

    Incredible and worth their weight in gold

    Our experience with Sweetface Events, specifically Deidre and Sarena, was absolutely incredible. We hired Sweetface for month of coordination with the intent of minimizing stress in the final weeks of planning and the day of. Deidre made herself available at practically all hours, answering texts, calls, emails, and attending in person meetings when necessary. Our wedding had a detailed schedule, coupled with less than stellar coordination/communication on behalf of our venue point of contact, and Deidre and Sarena did not miss a single thing. They went above and beyond and exhibited that they were beyond professional and capable. Lastly, and possibly most impressive, was how kind and reassuring they were throughout the process and day of. There were some stressors with other vendors, details, and schedule concerns, but they always made me feel, as the bride and primary wedding planner, reassured and understood. If I could rate them a million, I would, and our event would have been significantly less successful without them. We are forever grateful and highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding or other event.

    The absolute best decision we ever made

    Hiring Deidre from Sweetface Events was the greatest thing we did for our wedding(s) - Deidre planned not just one wedding for us, but three! We had to reschedule a 2020 wedding and replace it with a "mini-mony" for our family only, and then replan a 2021 vow renewal and reception for our original guest list. Deidre was there through it all - coordinating across all 11 of our vendors, keeping everyone on schedule, and keeping us calm during a stressful time!

    The whole Sweetface Team is wonderful to work with, and we couldn't have had a more perfect day(s) - all thanks to them!

    Hire Sweetface & Enjoy Your Day!!

    We hired Sweetface for day-of coordinating, but honestly, Deidre was a HUGE help throughout the entire wedding planning process. Not everyone will need to talk through changing venues (yay 2020!) two months before the day - but if you don't have all that craziness, you should still hire Sweetface so you can relax and enjoy your wedding. Extremely professional and took care of all the little details perfectly.

    Deidre is the best!

    Deidre was the absolute greatest in helping us execute the perfect wedding. Not only that, but during COVID she helped us reschedule and coordinate many many different vendors, executing both a mini ceremony with just our immediate families and the big party once we were finally able. Couldn't have made it all happen without Deidre's steady presence. I would recommend Sweetface Events to literally anyone.

    I HIGHLY recommend Sweetface Events if you're planning a wedding in the D.C. area. I had to plan my wedding from Germany, so my mother was working with Sarena a lot. Sarena is such a kind person to work with, always keeping a calm manner, which I found extremely nice. She is completely professional and on top of everything. Not only was she highly responsive to all our questions and needs, talking my mother and I through all the details (many emails and calls) but she also recommended amazing vendors that were all excellent and were able to work with our budget. We had Sarena there for day-of coordination and everything ran very smoothly! Her experience with wedding planning and day-of coordination really shows and I do believe she went above and beyond her duties.

    I interviewed a few wedding planners before meeting Sarena, but once we had our first meeting — I knew she was the one.

    Sarena knows what she’s doing. She’s honest, patient, accommodating, and will do what’s right. I’ve always felt like customer satisfaction was a priority to her.

    Planning a wedding is a long, detailed, and strenuous process — but my weekly calls and meetings with Sarena were always a pleasant one! Getting along with your wedding planner is important — because you’re essentially stuck with them until the wedding is over — and I truly believe that one of Sarena’s talents is being such a great people person.

    She also saved us on several incidents on our wedding day — things that I FOR SURE wouldn’t have known what to do if she wasn’t there.

    Out of all vendors and investments we put in for our wedding, Sarena was by far the most unregretful one. Thank you again SO MUCH Sarena!!

    ABSOLUTELY LOVE SARENA AND THE SWEETFACE TEAM!!! Where do I even begin, working with Sarena for the 9 months before our wedding was an absolute dream. We chose to work with Sarena after having just one phone call with her due to her ability to recognize what our needs were. Right off the bat, she helped us plan a realistic timeline and budget for everything, which we were able to stick to because of her guidance. Throughout the months, Sarena kept us on track, provided tons of amazing recommendations, and was there for us personally every step of the way. She and her team were incredibly professional and extremely talented: from the decor to the time management to the last minute details. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect because of Sarena and she has become like family to us, we are truly grateful for her and Sweetface events. Definitely choose Sweetface Events if you want a team of truly incredible and super sweet and down to earth wedding planners!

    My husband and I are busy professionals in our 30s. We wanted to have a nice wedding but had concerns about time, keeping our families happy, and all those wedding details that we knew were inevitable.

    {Enter Sarena, clouds parting, angels singing}

    Sarena Baker made the whole experience run smoothly and easily. She knew the right questions to ask, she gently directed us to make decisions so she could move forward, she put us in touch with excellent and cost-conscious vendors, she handled some of our more challenging family members with ease. She lightened the load and stress of wedding planning in a tremendous way. I cannot stress to you how relieved I was by the middle and end of the process to have an absolute pro behind the scenes coordinating the effort. She even did a special errand for a "Spanx emergency" on the day of the wedding.

    Other feedback - I heard from our hotel events coordinator that Sarena asked all the right questions. From my vantage point, she was such a great guide, and it was good to know that he had the same impression. He said that she asked all the right questions and knew all the details that a venue or hotel coordinator would need to know, and he enjoyed working with her.

    To top it all off, Sarena is just a cool person and fun to be around. To top THAT off, when we went to pay the final deposit I felt like we were robbing her, thinking of all the value and help we got from working with her. Best money we spent, hands down.

    DO YOURSELF A HUGE FAVOR! Hire Sweetface to help you with your wedding!!!

    We hired Nicole as our "day-of" planner and she was absolutely amazing to work with! She was very responsive to my many email requests and questions and always had great ideas and suggestions to supplement my own. She went above and beyond to remain accessible, even before the official time frame reflected in our contract. I highly recommend reaching out to Nicole if you are in search of a rockstar planner!

    Sarena did a great job assisting with our wedding. We contracted her services about 5 months prior to our wedding, as we were running behind on some of our planning, including floral, hotel room block and tabletop decor. She did a great job keeping us on track with all items. Additionally, she was instrumental on our big day. She has a kind, professional demeanor and it was an absolute pleasure to work with her!

    I cannot tell you enough how much my planners (Nicole and Deidre) absolutely SAVED MY LIFE when it came to the wedding planning experience. I have never wanted a wedding because of the headache and anxiety that planning causes... but working with Sweetface made the experience FLAWLESS. They were on top with emails and communication with myself and my vendors. I felt like I didn't need to take care of anything by myself. Every time I stressed, they were very solution focused and were there for me, guiding me or doing for me. And let me not forgot to say that these ladies made my entire wedding weekend FLAWLESS. They saved me money with taking all equipment from my florist and doing all my table settings for me and took my vision and PERFECTLY presented it with the decor. It was perfect, they were perfect, I couldn't have asked for anything better!

    Sarena along with sweet face events really helped us keep on track for our wedding and was with us every step of the way.
    we highly recommend her and sweet face events, extremely organized, great advice as far as vendors and really took the time to get to know us so that the details of the big day were tailored to us perfectly. we seriously couldn't have been happier and can't say enough good things. Along with all of that Sarena was also fantastic with dealing with difficult parents

    Deidre was amazing. We could not have asked for anyone better to handle our wedding. She made such a stressful occassion so much easier and did it all with a smile on her face. You could not ask for a planner better than Deidre and her team at Sweetface.

    Absolutely worth every penny! Deidre was so pleasant to work with and literally did ALL of the leg work. If you're looking into them, look no further. They are seriously the most attentive and easiest people to work with!

    Sweetface is a full service wedding planning organization. They can help with finding all other vendors, have great ideas for wedding themes, and help with every aspect of the planning. Had Ii to do it over again, I would definitely go with Swetface Events, because they handled all of my problems and questions with ease, making my daughter's wedding day absolutely perfect.

    Sarena with Sweetface Events was like my guardian angel throughout the entire wedding planning process from the moment we met to the last moments of packing up all the details and decor of our wedding. She is incredibly easy to work with - so friendly, accommodating, and always has ideas to offer even when you think you have thought of everything. Her flexibility when it came to meeting in person was very much appreciated, and was always a phone call or text away. Although I only met Nicole on the day of my wedding, she too, was a joy to work with. It was almost as if I had known her since the beginning of planning the wedding as well. Sarena and Nicole work so efficiently well together and are truly a dream team to work with. One of them was always there for me and my husband the day of our wedding for ANY of our needs. If you are looking for top notch service at a very reasonable price, Sarena and her team at Sweetface Events are just what you need!!!

    First off, I have to say that the planning process for our wedding was very unusual. My wife was born and raised in S. Korea and is not a native English speaker so ALL of the communication between my wife and our planner basically came through me. Also, weddings in Korea are typically done in packages so the wedding couple only has to pick which package they want, and EVERYTHING is taken care of by the planner, so doing an American wedding was quite a daunting task for my wife.

    With that said, working with Deidre from Sweetface Events was WONDERFUL! Deidre was extremely patient, well-organized, and was always willing to accommodate our busy/hectic schedule. A month before our wedding date, we actually ended up switching our reception location. Deidre didn’t miss a beat, and was able to switch gears immediately to get our new reception location locked down and ready to go. She was always mindful of our budget and provided creative yet sensible recommendations for all of our requests.

    Also, during our planning process my wife and I somehow lost track of a Polaroid camera that we planned on using for our wedding guest book. We looked everywhere for it, but we just couldn’t find it and since the wedding was next week, we decided to give up on the idea. Deidre actually went on Amazon and bought a polaroid camera AND film for us to use during our reception at no charge! The camera and film itself is not cheap at all, and it ended being a big hit at our reception. To be honest, we actually cherish those polaroid photos more than the photos we got from our wedding photographer. Deidre really is a wonderful person who genuinely cares about helping others, and has an innate talent for wedding planning.

    I know that there were probably a bunch of things that Deidre did for us that we will never know, but we truly appreciated all the help that she provided. Thanks Deidre!

    I hired Sweetface to provide month of coordination for my wedding and worked with Nicole Hild. Despite only being contracted for month of coordination, Nicole was helping me with vendor selections and recomendations months before my wedding. I had a specific vision in mind and when i couldnt find the tablecloths that I really wanted, Nicole pulled through and found me a reliable vendor with the perfect linens!

    Nicole did an amazing job and I couldnt have pulled this wedding together without her. She followed up with the many vendors I had that day and was even willing to help us out smooth out some "family" issues. I would highly recommend Sweetface events for wedding planning or at the very least, month of coordination. You won't regret it!

    thank you Sweetface and Nicole for all your hard work!!

    Sarena and her team were on point with everything. I had a Chinese/Vietnamese wedding at a Chinese restaurant with about 470+ people. Many people will say that having a planner isn't necessary for an Asian wedding, but if you have that many people then I highly suggest Sweetface for the job. Calls, emails, and texts were answered quickly and everything was executed by Sarena and her team as planned. Highly recommended (especially for Asian style weddings since she has experienced one that was so large).

    My husband and I absolutely loved working with Nicole and Sweetface Events! We talked to quite a few planners when looking for help with planning our wedding, but when we met Nicole we knew we had found the perfect planner for us. Throughout the entire process, she was extremely kind, helpful, responsive, and professional. Nicole helped us find fantastic vendors and brought together our scattered ideas into the perfect day. Additionally, Sweetface Events offers a great variety of packages and although we initially went with a more expensive package, during planning Nicole noticed a less expensive package was a better fit for our needs and adjusted our contract accordingly. We were so appreciative and impressed by Nicole's thoughtfulness and attention to detail. In the end, everything came together amazingly and our wedding day was absolutely perfect (if there were any problems, Nicole took care of them and made sure we remained stress free the whole night!). Nicole, thank you so much for helping Will and I make our wedding dreams a reality! For anyone who is looking for a fantastic wedding planner, we highly suggest using Sweetface Events!

    Sarena at Sweetface Events was the BEST! I am so glad I had the opportunity to work with her on my wedding. She was extremely helpful, provided lots of great vendor recommendations, gave friendly reminders when I needed to start booking things, and was very responsive to any and all questions I had. I was able to give them all of my decor for the wedding the week before and Sarena and her team decorated my wedding venue exactly as I had pictured. I loved the way everything turned out. They really took a lot of stress out of wedding planning and the day of. From the planning process, to event set up, and day of coordination she made sure everything went flawlessly. I highly recommend Sweetface Events! You will not be disappointed!

    Nicole was beyond wonderful to work with. From the very beginning she went above and beyond what was called of her and knowing she and her fantastic team would be at my wedding put my mind at ease. She was always responded quickly to my texts/emails/phone calls and was available at anytime for the simplest of questions. Nicole was a dream to work with, I felt like I made a friend in the process and am sad I don't require her services any longer!

    Deidre was referred to me by an out of state friend who had worked with her before. I was hesitant to work with an out of state planner (we live and our wedding was in Connecticut) but I am so happy I chose Deidre. She was very responsive to all of my calls and emails and even took the time to come to town to meet with me and my family before I selected her. Her attentiveness and warm nature is the reason why we opted to go with the full service package.
    For almost a year, Deidre worked on all details assisting in all my decision making, this truly made the planning process a stress free experience. Additionally, she secured all vendors, negotiated great rates & maintained a great relationship with all of my vendors - staying on top of everything from start to finish. During my wedding weekend, Deidre and her team traveled to Connecticut and ensured that my vision came to life, not missing a beat the entire day. She really made us feel special throughout the entire process. We definitely made a great choice!

    By far Sweetface Events was my favorite vendor from my wedding experience!!!! I worked with Sarena and could not recommend her enough. I hired her company as "day of coordinator" and that package title does not fit all that she did. Her involvement from the moment we first spoke up until the moment I left my venue on my wedding day was above and beyond. Weddings are stressful and she is a calm, responsive, professional and highly knowledgeable wedding planning expert. I had a outdoor wedding on a budget that included A LOT of DIY items and she was patient & helpful with all my plans.
