Event Details by Edelina

Our wedding day was the most magical, beautiful, perfect day and we couldn’t have done it without Edelina. Her attention to detail and her passion to truly wanting this day to be perfect showed. Edelina was always available for a phone call and very responsive to emails. Any questions I had were answered immediately and provided some suggestions without being pushy. If anything, the suggestions were incredibly helpful for a first time bride. We love Edelina so much and this day couldn’t have been what is was without her.

Edelina was the MVP of our wedding planning process! She helped us find vendors that fit into our budget and vision and saved us thousands of dollars. Edelina kept us on track throughout and made sure we were doing things on time. When prices were going up, sales were happening, or deadlines were approaching, she always made sure we knew. She set up new accounts to get vendor discounts when we were interested in a new place she hadn't used before. She was responsive, personable, and her help was extremely valuable!

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Edelina as our wedding coordinator. When we started the wedding planning process, we didn’t even have a vision for what we wanted. After several pinterest sessions, we decided we needed a coordinator ASAP because we had absolutely no idea how to pull off all the tiny details we imagined for our big day. Edelina was amazing! She was there for us every step of the way! From vendor suggestions, monthly tracking meetings, and what seemed like daily questions we had for her, she was always available to answer them quickly and confidently. She assisted us in finding our caterer, 2 bakers (the first one became pregnant and was unable to commit to our wedding, and Edelina helped us find an awesome backup), florist, DJ, and even my dress! She was able to work with the other vendors we found ourselves and coordinated with them seamlessly. The venue we picked was a bit nit-picky in their requirements, which Edelina handled in stride. She was able to answer all their questions and handle all their requirements with no issues, and ahead of their required schedule. Thanks to her coordination and organization, the week before our wedding my husband and I were able to relax and enjoy time with our family and friends that came into town for us instead of being bogged down with last minute details. Edelina also severed as our day of coordinator. Every detail that we planned was executed perfectly and our wedding day went flawlessly! I cannot recommend Edelina enough. Hands down she was the best decision we made for our wedding. Thanks E!!!!

I can't recommend Edelina enough! She is kind, funny, well-organized, and even in high-stress situations, she stays calm, cool, and collected! Just what you want and need in a wedding planner!

Although we had a day-of coordinator assigned to us from our venue, I am SO thankful that we had Edelina there too! I know without a doubt that our wedding would not have been as seamless as it was, if she hadn't been there helping to orchestrate all the details--small and large.

Edelina even made our last minute (seriously last minute...like 10 hours before the wedding last minute!) request for dance-floor lighting happen, and she got us an amazing deal to boot! You'd expect the lighting just to be so-so for being so last minute, but it was fantastic and just what we had hoped.

Last, but definitely not least, ALL of the vendors Edelina recommended were amazing. Our florist (Le Chateau de Crystale) made my vision of a Fall wedding come to life, and our videographers (Compass Studios) were so friendly and fun, all the while remaining unobtrusive. She also helped us secure two amazing bands for wedding (The High and Wides) and Nightsong...we are STILL getting compliments on both!

All of this to say, please do yourself a favor and contact Event Details by Edelina when you're planning your big day! She made ours more perfect than we could have imagined, and we are so truly grateful for everything she and her team did for us!

With gratitude and love,
Angela

Edelina made our wedding day flawless. There were so many blanks she filled in, fires she took out, and logistical problems that she solved with her cool, calm, and collected style. She is organized and has the highest attention to detail to fulfill our vision for both the ceremony and reception. There are so many little things that need to be taken care of to ensure the wedding day goes smoothly and flows well. I’m not high strung at all but I’m telling you, the day would have been sloppy, hectic and stressful without Edelina and her team. She was beyond wonderful and Tony and I know we have her to thank for the best day of our lives.

Edelina is a professional. From our first meeting, she let us know how things go down when you are planning your wedding - a monumental task! She systematically tracked our progress as we found vendors, signed contracts, and watched our budget. She always measured progress against our original goals and referred to them repeatedly. Perhaps one of the best aspects of her services was managing the details of all the contracts, a tedious task for most busy couples. She found vendors that offered excellent services of their own at very affordable prices, which she did through her top-rated network of caterers, djs, photographers, etc. As the big day approached, she kept on us to make sure we were making the necessary steps. The day of, she masterfully handled all vendors and the schedule so we could simply enjoy our event. I do not not lightly offer such praise, but I would highly recommend Edelina.

Edelina and her team are just amazing people. From start to finish, Edelina provided extraordinary support. She did everything from recommending excellent cost-saving vendors, to making sure we had not missed any details or requirements leading up to our celebration and even going out of her way to support us after the event was over. I hope this review is able to encapsulate how much I recommend Event Details by Edelina. Thank you for making our day wonderful!!!

Thank goodness for Edelina. She saw to every need before and during the Wedding and did an amazing job of not only coordinating the wedding party and guests, but also all the vendors. Her job was very challenging because the chosen venue the Torpedo Factory was open to the public up until around 1 hour before the wedding. She flipped the venue into a beautiful wedding full of fun and good times.

My wedding day could not have been what I dreamed of if it weren't for Edelina. Hands down, best decision ever. Her personality is caring and supportive, her services are limitless and she excels at everything that she does. She will meet with you in the beginning of the process to ensure your needs are met being met and will make appointments to help you out and keep you organized. Do not miss out, she will take care of you and more. I love Edelina, she is amazing at her job.

Edelina made our wedding planning process go smoothly. From the start, Edelina listened to our needs and gave us valuable insights on her past experiences. We met numerous times to discuss logistics, status check-ins and she made sure that we followed through with the next planning steps. We even communicated via email and texts as well to get things to completion. Edelina was also there to lead our rehearsal and made sure that everyone was prepared for the big day! On our big day Edelina and her assistant Stephanie, organized our venue as planned in our walk through. Edelina helped us remember meticulous details that we otherwise would have overlooked or forgotten. We will always remember Edelina!

Edelina,
Several months have passed since Katie and Paul’s wedding and I don’t think I thanked you enough for all that you did to make it a perfect day for the happy couple. We recognize that ours was not a typical wedding with Katie and Paul living in Scotland and the wedding taking place at a family farm in Southern Maryland. Until we found you, planning the wedding seemed completely overwhelming so we count our blessings that you were able to take us on as a client. Your assistance in planning, your preparation and your attention to detail were truly amazing. You managed to understand and capture my daughter and son in law’s vision for the wedding through FaceTime, phone calls and e-mail. Everything about the day was absolutely perfect and we will cherish the memories forever. Please extend our appreciation to Stephanie as well for all that she did on the day of the event. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping us put together a picture perfect day for Katie and Paul.

I recently got married in DC and while I wanted to control most things, I knew I needed a coordinator to help me manage all the details. Edelina pays extreme attention to detail, and scheduled regular calls to see where I was at, keeping a checklist to remind me when something needed to get done. She also responds to emails almost immediately--it's seriously impressive and puts a stressed brides mind at ease! Additionally she was able to recommend vendors, and any of those vendors I reached out to would all say the same thing--you picked an amazing wedding coordinator! A few weeks before my wedding I was distraught about not being able to find a reasonably priced calligrapher and Edelina immediately gave me recommendations within my budget. I cannot express how happy I am with her services.

We had a lot of moving parts with our wedding, and we couldn't have done it without Edelina! As soon as we hired her she was working with us, not just the day of. She always got back to us very quickly and her expertise and experience was so helpful. Our wedding went so smoothly and we're so thankful for her coordination. We definitely recommend hiring Edelina for your wedding or event!

Hiring Edelina will be the best decision you ever make when planning your wedding. She begins assisting long before day of and on your special day she will make sure everything runs like clockwork so you can relax and enjoy.

Initially, we were not sure if we wanted a planner at all, but in the end we decided to retain the services of a "day of planner" after several friends recommended it. We scoured the wedding sites and all paths led to Edelina. Deciding to hire Edelina was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. In addition to day of services, Edelina provided a incredible, thoughtful advice on everything from seat arrangements to decorations. She is incredibly organized and knowledgable. She was also very flexible with meeting us and was always available when we reached out. On the day of our wedding, everything went off without a hitch. Edelina worked well with our caterers, families and guests. If there were any issues, we were not aware of them. Neither of us can imagine what it would have been like to plan this wedding without Edelina's help. We feel lucky to have had her assistance on what could have been - but was not - an incredibly stressful process.

Edelina helped us relax and enjoy our special day. We can't recommend her highly enough. We love how she has such a variety of service packages to choose from.

I can't begin to express how Edelina's experience, confidence, leadership and friendship led to an extraordinary wedding and reception that my guests will not soon forget. From my initial contact with Edelina I felt at ease because she certainly had that experience, but upon getting to know her I learned that she has the best personality, commitment to the process and a fierce work ethic. Edelina was totally responsive from beginning to end..I would often send very early morning emails and to my surprise I would receive early morning responses since she too was working! My guests, interestingly enough, commented on how organized everything was and that everything flowed nicely. This is thanks to Edelina. Edelina worked well with all of my vendors and throughout the process, I felt that Edelina was sure to execute my vision for my wedding and graciously provided guidance, options, recommendations and solutions. We thank you so much! I'm on my way to the airport for honeymoon but did not want to depart without leaving this review. Our day was everything we hoped it would be and we are so very pleased with Edelina. She's sweetheart!

Working with Edelina was a great experience. She is exactly what you want in a wedding planner. She's organized! Throughout the entire process, she knew exactly what needed to get done and gave us clear, realistic advice about how to do it. She's experienced! She was able to anticipate any problems we might have both beforehand and during the ceremony. She's accommodating! We were doing a lot of the wedding planning from a distance, but she was able to work around our schedule. She met us when we were in town, and when we weren't, she responded to emails quickly and even jumped on Skype to chat with us. She listens! From start to finish, she makes it clear that this is your wedding. She doesn't run the show. You do. Our wedding celebration went off without a hitch! We have Edelina and her assistant Stephanie to thank for it!

Edelina's staff were amazing! She went above and beyond to provide servers a week before our event. The servers were great! Everyone at the event loved their service. I highly recommend Edelina for your future events!

I contacted Edelina to help me plan my daughter's wedding ceremony on short notice. Edelina was prompt to return my correspondence, answer all my questions and met with us in person to discuss our vision. Since we did not have a rehearsal prior to the wedding, Edelina organized a quick run through when we got to the Chapel, first with the bridal party, then with the groom and groomsman. We had a very tight timeline and Edelina's organization and direction kept us on task from beginning to end. The wedding was incredible, better than I could have imagined. I highly recommend Edelina and her services as a wedding planner.

Edelina was invaluable to us. She worked tirelessly to secure the best prices and recommended many venders that we eventually used. She was a great communicator and we always felt in touch. The day of the wedding went smooth and everything worked out wonderfully.

Edelina was by far the best wedding planner we could have hoped for. When we didn't know where to get something she had an answer or suggestion that helped us tremendously.
We would gladly recommend her for any other couple looking to get assistance for their wedding.
She truly went above and beyond the requirements by keeping us on budget with her alternative suggestions to help save money.
We can not thank her enough for her assistance and efforts.

We hired Edelina to be the DOC for our 100-person, same-sex, church-hall, largely DIY wedding reception in September. We also hired several of her staff to set up the hall, receive food from the caterer and serve it buffet-style, arrange presentation of several types of desserts, and take care of clean-up.

In the several months throughout the wedding planning, Edelina was extremely accessible for questions and recommended several other vendors to us, including our fantastic bartender.

On the day itself, Edelina did a phenomenal job! She and her staff went above and beyond, including set-up and clean-up projects that took longer than anticipated, and rolled with everything. She coordinated the timing and direction of several live musical performances, including a band, and handled both professional catering and family-provided food with energy and care. She and her staff ran what could have been a chaotic kitchen with military precision. The wedding went off without a hitch and was very 'us' - thank you, Edelina!

She is hard working, amazing, hard working and very professional. She will make sure everything goes well. Years of experience. We loved working with her.

Edelina was fantastic. She communicated well throughout the planning process, and she provided pleasant reminders when we needed them. During the wedding day, she was super helpful and firm without being pushy. Highly recommended!

We absolutely would highly recommend Edelina. She is very professional and knows exactly what you need. The wedding was perfect and she deserves all the credit.

When I met Edelina at a good friends wedding a year prior to our engagement I was blown away on how amazing and professional she was. When Stephen and I became engaged, we also quickly realized we had little knowledge of all the itty bitty details that goes into wedding planning. It was a no brainer to hire her and her expertise!

Edelina was always either a text or email away for anything!!, no matter how early or late in the day it was. We met several times to see where we were with our planning. She had a spreadsheet to keep us all on track and organized leading up to our big day! She worked extremely hard to make sure that we were understanding all our of contracts (helped review before we signed), found the best "deals" for everything down to the name place cards, and was just a great person to bounce ideas off of.

Edelina was also my day of coordinator and I can not thank her enough for making our day PERFECT and without a glitch. It rained as they were setting up the ceremony so she came to me and asked if we should move it inside and see if the rain passed. Everything was moved in, then the sun came out and she came back to me and asked what to do. I said "Is it possible to move back outside?" She replied, "Of course!" Edelina worked with the venue hand in hand throughout the evening all the way to the final clean up after our fairytale wedding!

I would recommend Edelina to any bride who wants professional and personable service!

Edelina was great as our "day of" coordinator. I use quotes because she was much more than that. When we first met with her she had reviewed all of our vendor contracts and pointed out the details in each that she would need to confirm met the conditions of all the other contracts. She also had a sample schedule from a recent wedding she had coordinated at our venue, and a checklist for us. She later created a spreadsheet for us to keep track of all of our vendor payments and their due dates, worked with us to generate a detailed schedule for the wedding weekend as well as the wedding day (our wedding party was so thankful!), and provided a standard shot list for us to use as a jumping off point to provide to our photographer. She was in regular email contact with us throughout the months leading up to the wedding, following up on anything she still needed from us and giving us any pertinent updates from our vendors. All of this was well before the day of and extremely helpful. On the day of, Edelina called us to warn of traffic conditions, and coordinated our arrivals at the venue, as well as the arrivals of all our vendors. She had an amazing bride kit (I had made one for myself as well but hers was way better. We definitely tapped into the bug spray and razor!) and just generally kept things moving so we didn't have to think about anything. She handled all final payments, set up of our thank you gifts, worked with the photographers to coordinate group shots, etc. All this and she was the most reasonably priced coordinator we contacted! Thank you, Edelina!

Edelina was wonderful! We booked her as our "Day of Coordinator" but the amount of love and attention she gave us throughout our process really made us feel like we had her helping us much longer than just the day. She coordinates and plans with her heart and really wants to make sure your day goes as you want it to. She went above and beyond for us. One example of this is when I completely forgot to buy the sparklers for our sparkler exit, remembering only 2 days before and not having time to go and get any myself, in a sheer panic I just cancelled the sparkler exit all together.... until Edelina went out of her way, and took it into her hands to make sure we got the sparklers. She found them online in a day, picked them up for us and brought all of the materials with her so we could have the sparkler exit we wanted. We felt so loved on this day, and Edelina was one of those people we felt it from! Thank you for your hard work and kindness, Edelina!

Edelina provided two assistants to work my kitchen while I mingled and had fun. The ladies were well versed in keeping the food flowing and my kitchen tidy. I will use Edelina again for our large parties. Thank you!

From my first phone call I knew this was the company to work with. Edelina's response was prompt and professional. I wanted waitstaff to assist with a baby shower. Her two employee's efforts made my event enjoyable for all! Their demeanor and professionalism really showed. I'll use Events by Edelina again.

I would highly recommend Event Details by Edelina for anyone who is looking for some extra help with their wedding (or any event!). My budget was tight and I couldn't afford to have help planning the entire wedding, but for the day of I needed some assistance making sure everything was executed according to my plan. Edelina was always available to give feedback and advice leading up to the advice and even went as far as picking up and dropping off speakers for me that I needed to rent! She found me nearly all of my vendors (DJ, etc) for great prices and was seriously a fountain of knowledge throughout the whole process. She helped me so much on the wedding day- arriving ahead of schedule with two servers. She was not only professional throughout the process, but also very kind. Definitely 5 out of 5 stars!!! Thank you, Edelina!
