    Highly recommend!

    Excellent professional in the business. She coordinated everything and does a great job of vetting the vendors she chooses to work with. Whether it be the florist, the photographer or the stylist, they will all be on time, professional, and do an incredible job. Highly recommend!

    Your Planner Search Ends Here!!

    I had the best experience with The Venlist. I was fortunate to work with two great planners, first Kyra, and then Brittany. Kyra really understood what I was going for and was excellent at helping me plan, so I was bummed when she left. However, Brittany is absolutely amazing. She’s the absolute best at what she does. She goes above and beyond for you and she will definitely deal with any vendor issues you may have. Brittany is the main reason why my wedding vision was properly executed and brought to life. The Notion platform was perfect in keeping track of all things wedding, and I loved the style of it. Brittany is such a great person and easy to connect with. I will definitely keep in touch with her even after my wedding.

    We had the dream team!

    Working with Erin Avery (The VenList) was more than a dream - she is a dream maker, fantasy creator, and one of the most organized people we’ve ever worked with. There honestly aren't words that capture the depth of our appreciation for her work. She took us through the whole journey as our virtual planner, guided us through the panic moments, saw the potential in our vision, and as our Day-Of Coordinator ensured we have the most magical wedding we could have ever dreamed up. She respected our budget, never wanted us to compromise on our vision, found vendors who could bring that vision to life, and made us feel like family the entire experience.

    Erin brings a profound attention to detail, care for us as a couple, calming spirit, and gentle smile to every person she interacts with. She wants you to have your day go smoothly, as stress free as possible, and makes sure that everything is organized, found, and done correctly. We couldn't have asked for a better person to walk us forward into married life, keeping track of every nuance, contacting every vendor, and protecting our time as we approached the biggest and happiest day of our lives. Erin is truly the best and a master at her craft.

    If you’re considering working with her, that very first meeting you will feel the beautiful energy and excitement she shares for what matters most to you - and she’ll make sure that your day is one you’ll never forget.

    Wow. Wow. Wow. Our wedding would have not been perfect without Venlist!

    A major shoutout goes to Erin Avery, our wedding planner. She was THE instrumental piece that allowed our wedding to go off without a hitch. From the very beginning of planning, scheduling meetings, researching vendors, and actual game day execution, Erin made our day less stressful, took our "idea" of what the day was going to look like, and helped our wedding come to beautiful fruition. Her professionalism, attention to detail, communication, and just plain nicest personality made the planning process made us feel like we were in great hands. Thank you, Venlist and Erin, for being a part of one of the most memorable days in our lives. We could not have been happier with how everything turned out.

    Look no further!

    We used the Venlist for our day-of-coordination service and it was fantastic! From the initial booking, Brittany was personable, warm, and so easy to work with! In our month of meetings, Brittany was completely prepared and very communicative. We felt totally confident leading up the days before our wedding that everything would be taken care of. Brittany is a gem and made our day run so smoothly! We are so grateful to the Venlist for all of the hard work and care that was put forth for our big day!

    Didn’t have to think about logistics on wedding day!

    We worked with Ashely as our month of coordinator and are so happy we did. She made our day so seamless. I didn't have to think about logistics one time, everything just happened.

    On top of just getting the job done and being professional Ashely has a confident upbeat attitude that makes her great to work with.

    Made my wedding flawless!

    I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Erin. I planned my wedding over a 2 year period and Erin was there every step of the way helping with vendor selection, timelines, site visits, and any question I could possibly have. She was very timely with her responses, extremely organized, and was always down to jump on a zoom call with me. My wedding would not have been what it was without Erin's help, I feel very lucky to have had her as a day of coordinator!

    Best decision of our wedding!

    I cannot say enough incredible things about Erin. Above and beyond does not begin to cover it! Look no further for any of your wedding planning needs.
    We hired Erin for our month of coordinator almost 2 years in advance. From the beginning, she was very responsive, informative, kind, and helpful. I am pretty organized, and she consistently thought of questions I didn't! I was very impressed with her demeanor with myself and the rest of our vendors.
    Our venue required a pre-approved coordinator, and Erin took the steps to contact them to make sure she would work out, and we are so glad she did!
    She did everything she said she would and then some. She reached out to all of our vendors, worked with us on our timeline (many times!), attended our rehearsal, and never got frustrated even when we had a lot going on.
    Erin felt more like a friend than a coordinator, and we are so happy we got to spend our special day with her.
    Our day went so smoothly from start to finish, and we know this is due to Erin's impeccable attention to detail.
    If you are looking to have an incredible day with a crisp timeline and no stress - Erin is your gal!

    The Top Wedding Planner in the DMV

    You can stop scrolling now. You’ve been looking for Britany, owner of The Venlist. Although her title is wedding planner, my wife and I discovered that she is so much more. Britany is an adept listener, negotiator, advocate, therapist, and now friend. We didn’t make it easy on her either. We had to hire all outside vendors for a historic venue that was often frustrating to work with. Yet time and again, Britany found solutions. She created our dream wedding and will do the same for you.

    Working with The Venlist was an incredible experience. They displayed the utmost professionalism, offered invaluable advice, and flawlessly orchestrated our day-of planning. Erin met with us on multiple occasions leading up to our wedding to meticulously schedule vendors and coordinate every aspect of our day. Erin ensured our path to the big day was incredibly seamless and stress-free. Her friendly personality made the entire process enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend their services for your special day.

    The A-Team!

    We were so happy to have Brittany & the Venlist Team on board for our Wedding. From setting up the small details on the big day, to coordinating everything in between with the Church Ceremony & CH/ Reception. We had two venues, torrential rain (last minute rain plan), blocked off streets & she handled it all with ease. Thankyou for taking the load off our backs & leading the charge behind the scenes. It was a pleasure to work with you!

    Amazing Wedding Planning Experience

    I found the Venlist after listening to the HueIDo podcast and I'm so grateful that I did.

    After struggling in the initial phase of wedding planning including paying too much for a wedding dress, I was grateful to find affordable support to help me and my now husband with the many decisions required to wedding plan. We chose the virtual wedding planning option which allowed us to meet monthly with Brittany via Google Meet. Because we no longer live in the DMV area, Brittany helped us with locating our vendors including event rentals, wedding dress alterations, rehearsal dinner venue, florist, etc. Because we really wanted to stay within our budget, Brittany made sure we were securing vendors within budget each month and when it was time to transition to our day-of-coordinator, who we also found via the VenList, Brittany made sure we felt comfortable with the transition and everything went wonderfully.

    If you are looking for vendor recommendations and/or want assistance with wedding planning which I highly suggest as it makes things way less stressful, I would highly recommend the Venlist!!! Thank you so much, Brittany and the Venlist for helping us make our wedding vision come true!

    The Venlist kept was pivotal in my wedding planning!

    I'm so thankful I found The Venlist! I started planning my wedding alone, got overwhelmed when finding vendors, and just wanted to quit. I realized a wedding planner was what I needed, but they are all so expensive. Thankfully, I found Brittany from The Venlist and her reasonably priced vendor hunting services. I figured I could still handle planning myself as long as I had her in my corner, providing me potential vendors that fit my needs/price point, and I was right.

    I'm so glad I trusted Brittany for her services. She put me at ease from our initial meeting; learned my priorities and budget; and found the vendors I needed for me to make my wedding day amazing! Once I found Brittany, the wedding planning process was much more manageable as I knew she would find me the right vendors. She found me the perfect venue, a last minute florist, and multiple other vendors. Thanks Brittany for all your help!!!

    Brittany is AMAZING!

    Brittany was amazing from start to finish! We were completely green on what went into planning a wedding and Brittany made sure to explain everything clearly. She kept us organized and operated in a way that we rarely felt overwhelmed with what was required of us. She has a vast network of different vendors that she can recommend and also took time to find competitive rates with different vendors if needed so we never felt forced to work with anyone. I would recommend Brittany to anyone that needs any level of wedding planning, she truly is AMAZING at what she does. We can’t thank her enough!

    So grateful for Venlist!

    YES! I am a type A individual who planned a wedding in Alexandria from my home in Michigan during the pandemic(-ish) all with the help of Brittany at Venlist! We had a small wedding at a relative's home in Old Town, Alexandria which was incredible but brought its own obstacles with it. Brittany helped identify vendors within my budget, understood the vision of my small family centered wedding, made sure all the t's were crossed with the contracts, assisted with decor planning all by looking at online photos of the house, and then executed the best day of my life on my wedding day. She went above and beyond - arriving early, setting up the decor, walking all over town for more flowers, gathering the men and the dog for the ceremony, and making sure the transitions were smooth between different portions of the night. She was 100% in control but also so discrete and friendly that many people just thought she was a guest! I would 10/10 recommend her and the company to anyone looking for an DOC in DC.

    Amazing!

    The Venlist was amazing to work with. They were extremely professional, gave great advice, and perfectly coordinated our day of planning.

    Brittany Smith met with us multiple times prior to our wedding day to schedule vendors and to plan the proceedings down to the second. She is very personable and was lovely to work with. Her staff is equally as endearing and helpful.

    I highly recommend utilizing their services for your big day!

    Excellent Month-Of Wedding Coordination Experience with the Venlist

    We had a wonderful experience with Brittany and Erin, and would highly recommend the Venlist to anyone looking for planning and coordination support in the month leading up to their wedding and on the day of the wedding. We had a 40 person wedding at a chapel in Georgetown and a restaurant reception downtown, and Brittany and Erin were a huge help in the lead up to the big day and on the day itself. Both Brittany and Erin are extremely friendly and competent. You can trust them to follow through on action items and to communicate with your vendors in a professional, friendly manner. We had three great meetings with them in the lead up to the wedding, which was a great way to pinpoint issues, things we hadn't thought of, etc. After our meetings, Brittany and Erin promptly executed tasks, communicated with vendors, created a master schedule for the rehearsal and wedding day, etc., all without any follow-up from us. Brittany and Erin ran our rehearsal with efficiency - they were great interacting with our families, and they had made several site visits to our venues, so they were familiar with all the necessary details and venue contact people. On the day of our wedding, they did an amazing job working with our florist to transform the chapel into exactly the aesthetic we were hoping for. In the gap between the ceremony and reception, they transported flowers from the chapel to the restaurant and did a truly incredible job situating the arrangements on tables, pedestals, etc. - the space looked fantastic. Aesthetics aside, Brittany and Erin did a wonderful job coordinating car services on the day of the wedding, managing the string quartet and processional, etc. Brittany and Erin were a huge part of making everything go off without a hitch. If you're looking for incredibly friendly and competent month-of coordination at a very reasonable price, we highly recommend the Venlist.

    The Venlist : Professional, Timely, and Organized!

    I worked with Brittany from The Venlist on a series of styled shoots in Washington, DC. I can't say enough good things about this virtual wedding planning business. Brittany was organized, thoughtful, timely in communication, professional, and extremely calm under pressure. As a wedding photographer, I've worked with many wedding vendors and can recognize when an event is set up for success. Successful wedding planners need skills in time management, communication, and attention to detail. With The Venlist, all of these areas exceeded my expectations. I'd be happy to work with this business again, and I will be recommending them to my friends/clients in the DMV area. Do yourself a favor and reach out to Brittany with your business inquiry!

    The Venlist- The Virtual Wedding Planner's reply:

    Thanks so much Rachel! If you're ever looking for an amazing wedding photographer, Rachel Schrock Photography is it!!

    Amazing Woman

    Brittany Smith is one of the few coordinators I work with that is absolutely oriented to details, clients’s visions of their special event, the best atmosphere and optimal schedule. Her commitment is inspiring.
    Brittanie’s work ethic is amazing, her ideas are fun and her solutions are on point.
    I warmly recommend Miss Smith to my friends and clients!

    Amazingly helpful!

    We had a vendor cancel last minute and the Venlist came through immediately. She had options back within a day and a half (amazing!) and we ended up hiring her top recommendation. Such a lifesaver!
