    Stop Reading Reviews and Hire Trish

    After interviewing nearly 15 wedding planners in the DC area, it was immediately clear that Trish stood out from the rest. She is the perfect combination of experience, creativity, organization, and calm professionalism. From our very first meeting, she brought fresh ideas, strong relationships with vendors, and a clear plan to make our wedding vision come to life — and she absolutely delivered.

    Trish coordinated our entire wedding weekend at The Hay-Adams in Washington, DC, and truly made it the best day of our lives. She handled every detail flawlessly — from vendor logistics and timelines to countless little touches we never would’ve thought of ourselves. She has a great assistant who ensured everything ran seamlessly the day of the wedding, allowing us (and our families and friends) to just enjoy the moment. So many people told us it was the best wedding they ever went to (and our friends are hard to impress) thanks to Trish’s amazing planning and managing all the logistics on our big day.

    One thing that really impressed me was how fair and transparent her pricing was. She charges a flat fee that’s incredibly reasonable compared to many planners in DC that want to charge you a percentage yet the level of service and expertise she provides is exceptional. (She has been doing this for 20+ years) She got multiple quotes from vendors, helped us weigh the pros and cons, and always respected our budget and priorities. And she planned everything in less than 3 months!

    She’s also the kind of planner who can take a last-minute idea and make it shine. I refused to spend $1,000 on altar flowers and instead sent my brother to Trader Joe’s the morning of the wedding to grab orchids — and somehow, Trish turned them into the most elegant, breathtaking display imaginable.

    Beyond her incredible talent and professionalism, Trish is just a joy to work with. She kept us organized, focused, and calm throughout the process, asked the right questions, and made sure we always felt supported and heard. She’s connected to all the best vendors, has accounts everywhere for any extra detail you could possibly want, and her taste is impeccable.

    I would hire Trish again in a heartbeat — not just for another wedding, but for any special event: a gala, milestone birthday, or anything worth celebrating. She’s that amazing of an event planner. If you’re looking for someone who will bring your vision to life, handle every detail with care, and make your day or event truly unforgettable, Trish is the one. Stop reading reviews and go hire her!

    Amazing planner!

    Trish helped make our wedding as stress free as possible. Trish is an amazing problem solver and was always happy to jump on a call and talk through ideas or issues during the planning process. Trish did so much behind the scenes coordination that even having two bands was completely seamless to us and our guests. Trish worked hard to shield us from any day of hassles and even helped some not typically punctual VIP guests arrived on time. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!

    Professional and fun!

    Words cannot begin to express how thankful I am for all of the hard work Trish and her team put into our wedding. From the first call (on the phone), to the final call (with our guests at the bar), I enjoyed the process so much that I want to run out and start all over again! She took all of our ideas and expanded on them to form just a wonderful masterpiece! (IMO) I would recommend any couple to her in a heartbeat.

    From start to finish, excellent!

    Our wedding was over the course of 3 days, and my family was a little skeptical of a concept that honored our traditions, but was more modern in feel. But from the creative ( and jaw dropping!) concept for the baraat, and a mandap that was like out of a fantasy, my family could not stop raving. I cannot thank Trish and her team enough for their hard work! A million times, thank you!

    The best day of our lives!

    I will always remember this as the most perfect day, and Trish and her team played a huge part in making that memory. My friends and family kept complimenting how wonderful and fun the reception was, and that they loved that the details. Our Mexican heritage was honored but not overdone - it perfectly represented us in a way that felt unique. I didn't want to open a magazine and have a clone reception that I've seen in 1000 times, and ours was loud, bright and wonderful - exactly what we wanted!

    There should be six stars

    Working with Trish was a joy from the word go! We had such a connection with her, not only is Trish detail oriented enough to satisfy my type A personality, she has a wonderful creative eye. Just the right combination, and a true professional. Her attention to detail was everything I could have wanted, and her kindness and passion for what she does is the bonus. Everyone commented how great the wedding was and that they had a wonderful time, and the memories will last a lifetime. I think that is what Trish does best, creating memories that last.

    We hired, we danced, we ate cake.... it was perfection!

    Not only was the event itself spectacular, but working with Trish in the year leading up to it was a wonderful experience. My wedding was personalized and gorgeous and she took all of the stressful aspects out of the process. Most importantly, Trish is a logistics bad ass! All we had to do was show up, dance the night away and eat cake! Working with TSE was absolutely the best wedding planning decision we made, hands down!

    My happiest memory, thanks to Trish

    I met Trish a couple of years before she established her brand, as we had worked together at InterContinental NYC. Being in the industry, I had VERY tough standards! There was a time in my life where I thought, yeah I can plan a wedding myself, looking back, I truly do not even know what I would have done if I did not have Trish and her team by my side. Trust me it is so worth it! The stress that was relieved from me the month before my wedding, and especially the week of my wedding was worth gold to me. She took care of everything so I could spend the entire week with my family. From making phone calls, to styling the room, and to ultimately making my wedding day the most amazing day I could have ever asked for! A true gem!

    All around perfection!

    From the word go, Trish swooped in and made everything look fantastic and run smoothly. I didn't realize how much help we needed until she was there! Trish really knows when to step in and doesn't need any direction at all. her teams coordinated getting everyone picked up at the hotel and shuttled to the venue and getting our vendors set up. She even stayed and broke everything down to make sure we didn't incur overtime fees at the venue - she really managed all of the vendors for us! The best part was that Trish helped us sooo much with the decorations - I handed her a box with supplies within minutes the place looked perfect. Trish was a real life-saver at our wedding, I can't recommend her highly enough!

    The best decision!

    I am so grateful for Trish and her team of pros. I was convinced by my MOH that I needed a wedding planner, and she was right - from the organization of all of the details, to their expert advise and guidance, the process was SOOOO overwhelming, but I was quickly put at ease by Trish's calm demeanor. It was the wedding of my dreams!! The BEST!

    Superb - could not be happier!

    We hired them in DC for our wedding in NYC, and it was the best decision ever. They ensured our wedding went off without a hitch, and that every details was attended to. We could not have been happier hiring Trish and her team, and they were truly incredible in so many ways. They pulled all of the ideas from our heads, and created a work of art! THANK YOU!

    Trish was absolutely incredible in helping to plan my wedding. I have no idea how the day would have possibly gone off without her. She figured out every weakness in my venue and immediately found ways to work around it. Her ideas with respect to decor were so creative and well thought out. It's clear she put a lot of time and effort into making our day exactly what we wanted. All vendors who were brought on board by Trish, or with her approval, were amazing. She knows what she is doing, is sweet, professional, and will make your wedding everything you want it to be and so much more! I cannot recommend her highly enough!

    When I first interviewed for planners, Trish stood out because of her long experience, and ability to really understand what I wanted. I was able to relax and enjoy the entire process, assured that a true professional was taking care of us. Every detail was imagined, every vendor selected was wonderful. I can't thank her enough, and will have a lifetime of memories. I cannot wait for the pictures!

    I loved everything about Trish and her team! Professional from the word go, she transformed the ideas in my head into a reality I couldn't have imagined. What drew me to her was that she really took my event seriously ... I interviewed some other planners who seemed to fall into this, or were doing this as a side gig, which was not on my agenda. We flew in relatives, she negotiated room rates, and came up with local activities for our guests - talk about full service! When we werent happy with the local florists, she presented us vendors from Miami and LA....... everyone loved the wedding and are still talking about it. All I can say is hiring her was my best decision!
