Dream Wedding
Virginia Perry (VP) helped me plan a wedding that was even better than what I ever dreamed. From budgeting, to timeline, vendor recommendations, decorations and flowers - Virginia helped with so much and was more than worth what she charged. Here's why you should hire her:
1. Vendor recommendations. Virginia has been in the business a long time and has developed a network of other vendor relationships who offer strong services/products, but WON'T cost an arm and a leg to hire. And trust me, it was a much better experience than back when I tried to shop around on my own. If Virginia recommends them, you know you are getting good quality and value for money.
2. Detail-oriented and trustworthy. Planning a wedding is THOUSANDS of little details and decisions, which over time leads to an exhausting mental load and a very tired bride and groom. Virginia guides you through this process and gets you to start making decisions early, so that you can enjoy the day without thinking about all the small things. I was able to relax on my wedding day, because I knew she had it handled.
3. Vision and execution. Virginia turned a PowerPoint presentation of the wedding I wanted into a reality, getting me the exact welcome sign I wanted, arranging the most beautiful flowers, and helping me pick colors that wouldn't clash with each other. She will take the pictures you give her and run with it.
Lastly, the week up until my wedding was a total race to the finish line, with last minute errands and a potential change in weather. She checked in on me, called me, and talked me out of bad decisions when I wanted to change up my whole approach. She was a voice of REASON. Trust me, everybody in your wedding party is going to have an opinion on how you do your wedding and there will be a lot of little squabbles with family. Her opinion is objective, and it's the only one that really matters - second to your own and your beloved. Let her help you, you won't regret it.
In terms of price, she's very reasonable. Additionally, she has a range of packages - even for brides that think you can't afford a wedding planner. If you don't take away anything else from this post, remember that DIY does NOT mean cheaper. You will spend more time and money looking around for vendors, than leveraging the great ones she already has. Her vendor recommendations got me great deals, and saved thousands of dollars compared to the competitors I was looking at. Just give her a call, and feel your wedding planning stressors melt away.-

Virginia was fantastic.
Virginia was fantastic, we had a charity event and brought in Virginia who made it look easy. It was a lovely event with a great vibe. We raised more money than we thought we would and we were able to enjoy ourselves while doing it. -

Recommendation of Virginia Perry at VP Consulting for your Wedding Planner
My wife and I put ourselves in good hands with Virginia to serve as our daughter’s wedding planner. She executed to perfection her wedding in Oct 2023. Virginia demonstrated from the first time we met that she had the experience, ideas, knowledge and personal touch on all the elements to carry out the wedding. Virginia did it superbly for our daughter on all levels. Specifically, she coordinated all the many aspects such as caterer, music, supplies, dining service, desserts, flowers, etc, that go into the planning along with developing a detailed master schedule. Virginia set up meeting with vendors that included caterer, company to provide dining service, photographer, the wedding venue property manager, etc., that ensured everyone knew exactly their place to carry out their role at the wedding. Virginia masterfully covered the wedding procession at rehearsal dinner with a large wedding party consisting of family, bridesmaids and groomsmen. She pointed out exactly how all were to line up, proceed down the aisle and flank the wedding couple and made it so enjoyable with her wonderful sense of humor that really lightened up the atmosphere for all. Lastly, Virginia and her staff did an outstanding job to see that everything went smoothly on the wedding day from flower arrangements being set up, overall layout forall the tables, guests seating charts, and so much more. She did this from the moment she arrived with her staff till the end of the evening that insured a flawless fun and fabulous wedding celebration. She is the total package…professional, personal, competent, confident and we so appreciated all she did to make our daughter’s wedding day so special. We highly recommend Virginia for anyone looking to have a wedding planner provide the guidance and direction and make the process clear to understand and enjoyable!-

Virginia was a Lifesaver
Virginia was an invaluable wedding planner from start to finish. From providing great vendor recommendations to coordinating seamlessly with our venue to fixing a transportation issue in seconds on our wedding day, she did it all and saved us so much time and stress in the process. She also provided helpful style tips along the way, including letting us borrow décor so we wouldn’t have to buy it elsewhere. We cannot recommend Virginia highly enough! -

VP Consultant far surpassed our expectations.
Virginia and VP Consulting absolutely surpassed our expectations for a full-service wedding planner. When I met Virginia we were in serious need to find someone who could support our vision on short notice. We had three months to plan our wedding! Virginia and her team took us by the hand, spent countless hours with us on the phone and in-person, and facilitated an incredible ceremony that all of our loved ones are still talking about!
Our wedding was a destination wedding and Virginia did her due diligence to vet the site and each of the vendors. The wedding venue was more than we could've dreamed. Virginia's attention to detail is immaculate. Every i was dotted and t crossed and nothing was omitted from the experience. I don't know how anyone survives their wedding without a wedding planner! Virginia always made us feel at ease and confident about the entire experience. We thank God for her gift! -

Virginia Perry saved our wedding!
We started planning our (complicated, three-day, Jewish/Hindu) June wedding in February, already feeling like we were short on time. We had hired a different planner back in February and paid a hefty deposit on a venue in March. That first planner turned out to be so unresponsive and unhelpful that we found ourselves doing all the work. By mid-April we were so frustrated that we wanted out, and our photographer told us about Virginia. After talking to her once, we hired her, not knowing what was still in store for us.
The manager of our venue, after being incredibly difficult and unpredictable throughout the process, became truly unhinged and eventually refused to work with Virginia or us at all. To make a LONG and painful story short, we found ourselves without a venue with 6 WEEKS to go until our wedding date, with guests scheduled to arrive from around the world! Virginia talked us off the panic ledge, reassured us that we would eventually get our money back from the venue, and guided us through the process of finding an alternative.
A mere three days before the wedding, the company that was to rent us the china, glassware, flatware and some kitchen equipment told us they had no delivery trucks left. Virginia just HANDLED it. She rented a U-Haul, picked it all up and drove it out to the venue.
There were many points throughout our process where we felt like the wedding simply wouldn’t happen, and yet when it came down to the day there was Virginia running around like the energizer bunny taking care of things, and voila: everything we had planned and hoped for actually HAPPENED! Virginia has experience and contacts and most important, she maintains an indefatigable cheerfulness and is never defeated. She assured us that we WOULD get married and that every problem had a solution. She helped us avoid problems in advance and set us up for success so that in the end we had the right venue and the right stuff and the right plan.
We have so many wonderful memories now from our meaningful, personal, beautiful wedding that simply wouldn’t have happened at all without her :)

Amazing from start to change to finish
Virginia is a fantastic and professional person that I totally trusted would do an amazing job for our wedding day. She was thrown for a big look when we decided to completely change our wedding venue and date due to Covid, and she stuck by us, giving us a wedding we didn't even believe was possible, she was our wedding angel. Our guests still are telling us how amazing it was! She is thorough, detailed, with a positive attitude and exceptional eye for detail. -

Virginia is Indispensable
When I asked my now husband to describe Virginia Perry, he immediately said one word:
“Indispensable.”
How can someone who is “coordinating” be that important? Let me outline what happened for our wedding. After being an “80% Almost There Wedding,” We hired VP Consulting’s Mid Tier package. Luckily we had tons of help from friends/family, free time to execute tasks, and thought “it’s just a big party, right?” We met with Virginia Perry who I immediately felt the positive connection with. This was going to be the woman who brought our vision to life. We could easily trust her. She was going to have my back and we felt confident in our decisions as a team.
And then she presented her professional help and advice.
Due to her vast experience, Virginia did not hesitate to throw all possible options on the table, (flower options, caterers, rentals, etc). In the end, whether we picked one or all of her suggestions, she found a way to enhance each and every detail which did not go unnoticed to our friends and family. Our “80% Almost There Wedding” was in reality slightly overpriced, unrealistic, and underdeveloped. She refined the weak points in our day-of timeline, saved us at least $1000 through swapping professional contacts, and pretty much polished up the wedding we had. All of which was still within our original budget, more realistic, and developed into a once-in-a-lifetime event. We drank wine February 18th, 2020 with final details solidified, final deposits paid, and felt completely confident.
Then weeks before the big day, COVID-19 shut down our wedding.
The emotional fallout of planning and never experiencing “the wedding” was detrimental for us. And though I could go into much more detail the one that matters to you is that Virginia Perry was the only professional contact that had our back when the world didn’t. She was completely consequential and the only voice of hope that said “you can do this” when we felt we had lost our wedding day. We cannot write in such few words how meaningful this professional support will be the rest of our marriage other than giving a few examples:
-- VP Consulting attended meetings on our behalf to help creatively meet capacity requirements during COVID-19. The option we chose was 2 weddings days with capacity split between both days.
-- Virginia successfully negotiated setup/breakdown, deliveries, and decor (the biggest of which was Flowers) between two entire days of our wedding with the resources of one wedding.
-- VP Consulting was so good at pulling off our wedding that there is not one single decision we would change in hindsight.
Our wedding will be a weekend we revisit fondly for the rest of our lives, and VP Consulting is the key reason I will get to do that. So I think my husband said it so much shorter and best first: Virginia Perry is indispensable.

A must hire!
Virginia and her team are amazing! We ran into slight snags with another vendor and Virginia came up with a solution that worked perfectly and took the stress from our families.
I had no stress on my wedding day as Virginia executed my vision perfectly and made sure our day ran smoothly. She was wonderful even before the wedding day with putting together the schedule and providing my vendors her information.
To this day my family and bridal party still rave about how great Virginia and Brianna were during the day.
Stop looking for another day of coordinator and hire Virginia! -

Hire Virginia as your day-of coordinator! She helped to alleviate any anxiety about how our special day would go. Formulating the timeline was especially helpful, as well as thinking through some details that hadn't occurred to us. She is very energetic, has a great sense of humor, and always goes the extra mile! -

Frankie and I are glad to have met Virginia at our first wedding expo. Virginia and her team are truly the best. Virginia definitely made the wedding planning process stress free and smooth sailing! We are so blessed to have had her as our wedding planner and pulling off our special day. Everything was beautiful and we received so many compliments on our wedding and it was all because Virginia put everything together perfectly. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner, she knows what she is doing! Whenever we needed something or had a question, she always was responsive and quick! Virginia understood what we wanted and it turned out beautifully! Thank you so much again and I would highly recommend her to everyone. -

From the moment we hired Virginia to weeks after our wedding the whole family agreed that hiring VP Consulting was the best choice we made and was more than worth the money we paid. Virginia helped answer any questions through the planning process and guided us through all the unfamiliar territory of wedding planning - even when a few bumps in the road came up she was immediately there to calm me down and not let me turn into a bridezilla! When it came to the rehearsal and wedding, she took on every role when we we were busy getting pulled in every direction by family and photographers. Her ability to make sure everything and everyone is where they should be and doing what they should be doing is remarkable considering how many people it takes to have a wedding run smooth. Our wedding would not have been the perfect day without VP Consulting there and if I had to do it over again she would be my FIRST hire 100%, every. single. time. -

If you're wondering whether it's worth it to hire a day-of coordinator, look no further than VP Consulting! Miss Virginia and her assistant Miss Cindie know what they're doing, and their years of experience definitely shows. From the very first contact, to resolving vendor issues, to providing moral support (goodness knows I needed it the week of), they were there for it ALL. I always got responses to emails and texts, typically within a couple of hours, but sometimes within minutes! Anytime there was a snag (of which there weren't many), Miss Virginia would keep me posted as far ahead as possible, which helped greatly with planning. Whenever we raised a question, both answered with complete honesty about what they could and would not do. For example, we asked whether Miss Virginia was willing to distribute tip envelopes after the reception, to which she replied that she was uncomfortable doing that because of the potential liability issues--totally understandable, and her honesty made it easy to discuss somewhat awkward issues, like money. Both Miss Virginia and Miss Cindie are down-to-Earth, "let's get it done" type of people. When it came to wrangling vendors, our wedding party, and even our family, they handled issues and conflicts with poise and professionalism.
Bottom line: If you want to be a "guest at your own wedding", you need to hire VP Consulting. Their prices are very reasonable, and they will go the extra mile to make sure you are happy--just tell them what you want and they will do their darndest to make it happen! -

If you're hesitating about hiring a wedding coordinator, look no further. Hire Virginia Perry and you will not be disappointed!! I have nothing but positive things to say about this wonderful woman. My husband and I got married on Saturday, Oct 28 2017 and we hired Virginia to be our "day-of coordinator". From start to finish, she showed us nothing but true professionalism, positive energy, and efficiency in her job. Virginia went above and beyond to assist my husband and I on our big day, and relieved the stress I was feeling with all of the commotion going on. Virginia contacted all of our vendors, emailed them our wedding timeline, made sure everyone was where they were supposed to be, helped set up all of our reception items, and much much more. She was our savior that day! Weddings are very stressful and everything happens so fast--she was on top of everything. She got the job done with ease and efficiency. She checked up on us throughout the night to make sure all is well. I would highly recommend her services to anyone!! We are so glad we hired her! Thank you so much, Virginia! <3 -

Say “Yes” to Virginia the Day of Wedding Planner! You, the mother of the bride, have worked your butt off planning, emailing, phone calling, with mixed in panic attacks, disagreements with the bride to be, and maybe a sister or two. and then wondering how am I going to pull this all off and truly enjoy this special day????????
Your answer is to call Virginia of VP-Consulting. Virginia beautifully choreographed, (and even kept the guys inline during the rehearsal,) and thus on the day of the wedding freed me to be in the moment, to cry, to laugh, and to love the whole emotional wedding day as she took care of all those schedules and details. Whew! Virginia was worth every penny and saved my sanity to boot! The entire day of the wedding was a fabulous experience. (written by the Mother of the Bride) -

Virginia and her assistant, Diana, were super helpful throughout the entire process. They made not only our wedding day wonderful, but they also made the months leading up to the wedding a lot less stressful than they could have been. I took advantage of the floral service Virginia offered, meaning I purchased all my flowers through a wholesaler and made all the arrangements/bouquets for my wedding with the help of Virginia and a group of my girls - Virginia is very knowledgeable about the whole process and does a beautiful job with the bouquets and floral arrangements! Overall great experience and highly recommend Virginia to anyone looking for a coordinator! She knows what she's doing! -

Normally people dont write reviews until after their wedding.... but I just had to! My wedding is in September and with all the purchases/ stress that come along with weddings and the buyers remorse ( Sure I'll buy that! Girl.... you shouldnt have bought that! hah) I can honestly say that hiring Virginia as a Day of Coordinator has been my best decision so far when it comes to Wedding Planning! If you are debating on whether to get a coordinator or if the money is worth it, the answer is YES 100 times over. Sure you might have a coordinator at your venue.... but they just care about the venue. Virginia is there to care about you and to make sure you/ your family get to enjoy the day without stress.
She is super responsive and flexible ( a Type A brides dream!). She is fun, spunky and I know that my wedding/ everything leading up to it is in good hands. So if you are looking for a wedding coordinator or a day of coordinator, look no further! Go with Virginia, you will NOT be disappointed! :D -

I have nothing but positive things to say about Virginia. Throughout the whole process she was unbelievably accommodating, flexible, and proactive. We only hired her as a day-of coordinator, but honestly, she was invaluable with clever flower and decorating ideas, and advice around logistics - long before the day of! Virginia met with us, in person, two times before the wedding (not counting the intro meeting) and really helped us conceptualize and think through all the nitty gritty of the wedding - all that logistical stuff that's super important but not as much fun to plan. She even took my mom flower shopping, which my mom absolutely loved!
I really felt like if something popped up at the wedding that Virginia and her team would be able to handle it, which allowed me, my mom, and fiance to relax. Most importantly, I think, Virginia helped me feel like a guest at my own wedding. She is the best. -

Virginia was our daughter's wedding planner this past 1 October 2016. She provided detailed agendas and guided us on the selection of other vendors with whom she has worked in the past. The advice proved invaluable. She was available for our many questions via email and telephone and took care of all details, small and large, during the event. While many changes had to be made due to inclement weather, Virginia ensured all changes were communicated to all participants. Moreover, Virginia's high energy and wonderful sense of humor contributed to a most memorable event. We would be happy to recommend Virginia's consulting services to future customers. -

Virginia was simply amazing. When helping with the event, Virginia was always available to meet and gave excellent suggestions that we never thought of. On the day of the wedding, I never imagined how much we really needed Virginia. Her energy and the flow of how she executed the event was flawless. I owe everything to Virginia, I know that it wouldn't of been a perfect celebration if we didn't have her by our side.

We used Virginia for our wedding in April of 2016 and right from the beginning we knew she was there for us. We had gotten engaged in December and some how pulled together plans for and April wedding. As we approached our wedding date we realized that there were so many things that were going to happen on our special day that there was no way that we would be able to do it all ourselves. We were working on a budget and did not initially think that a Day or Coordinator was in the cards for us. Well I can tell you that it was worth every penny. Our event was smooth and seamless thanks to Virginia. She made sure we took the time to eat, got drinks and even made sure our photographer got an amazing sunset photo of the two of us. Shortly before the Champagne toast she realized that there was not a drop in the building and she coordinated with out food vendor to have someone drive nearly 15 miles to the nearest store and pick some up. Our guests never had any clue that there were these fires that needed to be put out. Virginia took care of all of them during our special day. Thank you -

Virginia made us feel so comfortable and prepared right from the start. She was incredibly helpful with everything from gracefully interacting with different family members, giving me a jacket so that I could warm up from the cold weather, and helping to pack up all the special decorations and gifts from the wedding. Virginia helped every detail run smoothly and efficiently. I would highly recommend Virginia's coordinating services to any bride! She was absolutely wonderful and we are so appreciative of all her hard work and flexibility! -

Virginia is amazing! I literally worried about nothing on my wedding day. I don't think I even spoke with any of the vendors that day because she did all of the follow up and coordinating. She undercharges for her services, in every way. My fiancé and I both felt we should have paid her more because the day was perfect. I don't know about anything that went wrong. I only assume something did not go according to plan because that happens at every wedding...but either way, she was awesome! Hire her! It's absolutely necessary! -

Virginia is amazing! She understood the look I wanted for the wedding and she had a lot of experience. She helped me develop a timeline with all the details worked out. I didn’t have to worry about anything! She took care of setting up to cleaning up and everything in between. Virginia was prepared for any glitches and could address them quickly and with expertise.
It was very important to me that my parents and my fiancé’s parents would be able to relax and enjoy the evening as guests instead of worrying about being hosts. I also wanted to stay in the moment to remember my wedding day instead of worrying about what I had to do next. In my opinion, these are some of the most important things and Virginia made them possible.
I truly feel that every bride should have a wedding coordinator like Virginia. The venue will know the guest and reception information. Your photographer will know the shots you want to get. Your DJ will know the playlist and music but you need someone who knows all aspects of your wedding to ensure that everything runs smoothly. Thank you Virginia for making my wedding day perfect and everything I wanted it to be. I couldn’t have done it without you! -

I decided to go with VP consulting after a couple email correspondence back and forth. Virginia was always responsive and after my initial consultation I knew she was the right person for my wedding. Very friendly, professional and affordable. She was very attentive to what I had in mind for my wedding and always gave me feedback on certain aspects that I hadn't thought about. I know I will be worry free on my wedding day with her being there. -

Virginia Perry is the best planner in the DC market. She is detailed oriented, patient, always has a smile no matter what curve ball is thrown her way including on the day of the wedding. She enhanced our vision after our first scheduled meeting at the venue to our last meeting. She made our wedding a dream from start to finished product. She made our one of a kind centerpieces from scratch and everyone wanted one at the end. Our wedding wouldn't have been perfect without her expertise and her intern Diana. The best photos were the surprise pictures with our rings, favors, flowers, and centerpieces. We were truly blessed. -

We first met Virginia through Hilton Garden Inn Fairfax. But after management changes within the hotel we decided to also hire her for the wedding day of coordinator. I also met with her a few times in between just to make sure I was on track which she charged per hour for this instead of the full consultant fee because it was just two meetings. She was absolutely fabulous. All of my planning went according to plan and I was actually ahead of schedule with the planning. The day of our wedding she had a family emergency and had to leave but she had done so well with helping me plan and her assistant was there that the day flowed so fluently and everything was perfect! Only hiccup was rain but hey....who can stop the rain? She even refunded the fee for not being there which she didn't need to do. I have already recommended her to several of my friends to use her. She was just simply amazing and I would work with her again in a heartbeat.
Seriously she knows what she's talking about. Not just planning and themes but music choices and decor and table seating and how to even deal with the attitudes of guests who seem to forget it's not their wedding. My bridesmaids were varied in size and height and she gave me great dress ideas and colors so everyone looked well. Gave great and unique groomsmen gift ideas.
She even does make-up with Mary Kay! She did my make-up and my Mom's and all of my bridesmaids! -

I've worked in the wedding industry for a couple years and there was no one I've worked with that even compares. She was the only planner I considered for my wedding she was an absolute god send. Not only did she take our event to the next level she handled the conflicts that came up with our vendors with such professionalism we were so worried that our day would be ruined but with her help it was flawless. -

Virginia was so helpful with our wedding. It was one that my wife and I planned the catering and venue. Virginia helped us plan at the venue two weeks before the wedding on a Saturday to figure out timelines and details. She went over what both of us needed to do and what she and her staff would do. It was so nice to have the details nailed down and made the week the big day ALOT less stressful. She answered all the questions I had and I felt much better knowing she was there to help us. -

Ms. Perry took on the task of planning and facilitating a Career Day Event for teens in foster care. Throughout the process she remained sensitive and flexible with the unique requirements around confidentiality and timing. She worked tirelessly to provide a super event that included more than I had expected. I believe this was her first attempt at this type of event, but it won't be her last. Our agency will most definitely be seeking out her services again for another event like this in the future. Ms. Perry was creative, professional, organized and made some wonderful suggestions that really added to the experience for the teens who participated. -

I am delighted to recommend Virginia as an event planner to people who want a special event to be spectacular. My son and daughter-in-law's wedding was wonderful. Virginia listened to their vision and ideas and helped them create a unique event, adding her own creativity and energy to develop the theme with specially designed decorations, coordinated lighting, table setting, helping with food choices and many details that enhanced the day for everyone. Over and over, our guests exclaimed about how wonderful this wedding was, and that they will be talking about it for years to come. And then, when there were unexpected challenges at the last minute, Virginia stepped in and resolved the challenges. We are so glad to have had her working with us for a fairy tale wedding. -

I Hired Virginia from VP Consulting for my Day - of Coordinator for my wedding.
Virginia is creative, patient, energetic, and is an amazing multi-tasker with a sincere desire to be a trusted adviser to her clients.
We are very simple, so I didn't need much. It was so nice to be able to hire someone for just the day and not spend thousands of dollars.
Virginia only charged $500 for the day of and dress rehearsal. She made sure everything went according to my plans. She was the perfect touch I needed to make sure I could enjoy my wedding and not run around guiding vendors and guests to their places.
I would advise ANYONE to hire VP Consulting for a Day- of - Coordinator. It is worth every penny to have a professional to ensure the details are just right. And I got to spend more time with my family, with no one worrying about anything. I have to say not one thing went wrong, because Virginia was there and was on top of EVERY little detail.
I WILL hire her for my Baby shower soon! :)

VP Consulting was the best choice. I needed someone to be honest with me. I wanted someone to care about me. Virginia went so above and beyond. She really kept me as her #1 priority the whole time, came up with creative ways to reflect my personal tastes and was the Ultimate professional the whole experience. I loved the way she worked with my vendors, courteous and respectful, but clear and firm. She also seemed to know EVERYONE in the VA area in the wedding industry, so she was able to refer me to the very best vendors.
Overall, she made my wedding a 10 out of 10!!! -

Virginia did an absolutely amazing job on the Brownell Wedding! The wedding was truly beautiful and Virginia made sure Barbara and Dennis enjoyed themselves without having to worry about the tiny details. I was her intern during the summer of 2013 and assisted her the day of the wedding. I had a great experience learning from a true professional. She really cares about her clients and wants to really make sure everything goes as smooth as possible! -

Virginia keeps the trains running on time!
We first met Virginia at a wedding show and immediately knew she’d be exactly what we needed. She asked us questions about our wedding we hadn’t thought to ask ourselves yet and detailed how exactly she coordinates between all your vendors. She is a wealth of industry knowledge, and I honestly felt like I was wearing bulletproof armor whenever she was with us during venue walkthroughs and dealing with difficult vendors. On the day of your wedding, she’ll literally be bouncing off the walls dealing with a million things you’ll luckily never know about. Thanks to her and her team, our families actually got to enjoy our wedding, rather than having my mom answering questions all night. My only recommendation to future couples is to plan ahead as far as you can—Virginia manages several hotels and leads her own consulting firm on the side, so while she normally responds fairly quickly, it may take longer if she has other weddings in the weeks leading up to yours. However, she makes herself fairly available to you via phone and email, so if you stay on top of your planning, she makes a fabulous day-of coordinator. -

Pros: Virginia is responsive, enthusiastic, and funny. Her price is incomparable to other wedding planning services ($850 for an in-person meeting, phone calls and emails with questions at any time, rehearsal coordination, and day-of coordination). She has a lot of insightful and useful tips about the wedding industry that help out with planning. During the wedding, she was willing to pick up more wine for us when it ran out, which was incredibly nice of her. She was great about cleaning up at the end of the wedding.
Cons: She was late to the rehearsal and then had to rush out at the end. She was even later to the wedding. As such, the groom's mother had to set up the signs after her hair and makeup were done, making her late to family pictures. Virginia was supposed to coordinate pre-wedding photographs, but she was nowhere to be found. For the ceremony, she put the incorrect documents on the altar, which required improvising on the part of the minister and couple. Finally, she often talks about how she helps save money for the wedding, yet she kept asking us to rent equipment from her and add on more services (and more $$) to her package. This was puzzling, as we kept telling her that we were getting all of the decorations she was offering for free. It also made us feel like she had her own agenda rather than actually trying to help us save money.
Overall, she's a nice person and the price was good. However, I would suggest spending more money for a better service. -

Disappointing Wedding Planning Process + Execution
I hired Virginia Perry pretty much on the spot a year before our wedding. She was kind, outgoing, professional, and eager to be our wedding planner. After signing the contract, she was engaged in setting up our wedding website, planning software, and room blocks. She had good relationships with escort wall and lighting vendors. When we decided to not use her for florals, a change in attitude began. Around six months before our wedding she began to shrug us off and did not follow through on her responsibilities. She told us she had more pressing events and clients and would get back to us, and she barely did. This forced me to pretty much plan my entire wedding right up to the day. Day-of she executed horribly. She showed up late, which had repercussions on the reception design. She had promised to make sure bridal party and family activities would run on time, and she was nowhere to be found. Her assistant Autumn was a blessing as the college student stepped in to troubleshoot during the reception. Autumn looked to me for guidance on decisions, which was very stressful in the moment. Virginia showed to be uninterested, dishonest in certain situations, biased towards her vendors, and insincere in her communications. -
