“From our first conversation with Rina from Shining Time about a year ago from today, I am more than happy with my choice. Rina communicated clearly through all email, Zoom, and text, making it easy to stay connected throughout the planning process. What impressed me the most was her attention to detail. She delicately integrated all my diy items, (Place Card, party favor bags, bar sign, farewell candy), in an aesthetic way into the wedding. Even though the DIY items were not high value items, but my mom and I spent a lot of time working on it. The way she elegantly placed every item, elevating the whole venue look which I didn't know was possible, I really appreciated that. Rina and her team were genuinely warm and welcoming to our entire family. We couldn't have asked for better partners to work with, and we'd recommend them to any couple looking for a planner who goes above and beyond.”

“Exactly one week ago, I married the love of my life. I could not have managed the stress of planning a wedding without the grace of God and EventBay, LLC. From consultation to day of, Bashan McLeod (owner) exuded professionalism, profoundness and poise. Her skillset, knowledge and expertise of wedding planning and event planning provided a sense of ease and allowed me to focus on the only important thing…marrying my husband. Lol. I retained the Day of Coordinator service from EventBay, LLC. and the Event Agenda a la cart service to make my big day manageable. Bashan went above and beyond, she always did a monthly check up on me to see how I was doing before her services started. And when the 30 days out started, this business owner was on it! She also recommended vendors when my now husband and I were stuck and could not find a DJ. My entire wedding party was in awe of the seamless transitions between timeline tasks and how Bashan and her team got us together. I am so very grateful to have found EventBay, LLC. I literally had no clue what I was doing. Bashan was clear and concise, personable, and fancy. I would definitely utilize EventBay, LLC.’s services again in the future for any event.

Events are a part of everyone’s lives. Weddings in particular are an important event that many of us get to experience hosting just one time in our life. A wedding is also widely known as one of the most stressful days of your life – that’s where we come in. Between the two of us we have planned over 185 weddings from the day after engagement all the way to closing the car door as the couple leaves for their honeymoon.

“Behind the most incredible day of our lives was the most amazing wedding planner, Megan, making it all happen. Since the day we booked her, she scheduled meetings, contacted vendors, provided advice and ideas, kept us organized, created our invitations, answered all of our questions, and much more. Then come wedding day, she brought our entire vision to life. She checked in on us throughout the day, meticulously placed every detail, brought us drinks during photos, and ultimately became an incredible friend through the entire process. I seriously cannot recommend Megan and Ludic events enough if you want the most incredible and stress free event that everyone will talk about for years to come.”

“We worked with Francisco as our day-of wedding coordinator at the Josephine Butler Parks Center, and we cannot recommend him highly enough! From the moment we started working with him, he was incredibly thorough, organized, and clearly genuinely invested in making our wedding day as smooth and joyful as possible. In the months leading up to the wedding, Francisco helped walk us through the big checklist items for planning a wedding, ensuring we didn’t overlook a single detail while always being respectful of our choices and vision. His communication over email was always timely and clear, and our planning phone calls were always productive, efficient, and fun! One of the most valuable things he did was create a comprehensive vendor packet that centralized all final details—this was a game-changer! We didn’t have to worry about keeping track of updates or managing version control, as he seamlessly handled all communication and coordination with our vendors. His understanding of the venue layout, the timing with our photographer, and the logistics of transporting wedding items made the final decisions stress-free. We trusted him completely, and every detail turned out exactly as we’d hoped—or better! When it came time for the wedding weekend itself, Francisco expertly ran our rehearsal, navigating family dynamics with calm professionalism and making sure everyone felt comfortable and confident. On the wedding day, Francisco was a calm and reassuring presence, quietly in charge and gracefully keeping everything on track. As someone who’s very Type A and typically likes to stay on top of everything, I was amazed by how much I was able to relax and simply enjoy the day because I knew Francisco would be handling it all. Thanks to him, we could focus on celebrating with our loved ones, knowing everything was in the best hands. If you’re looking for someone who will bring warmth, expertise, and a true sense of calm to your wedding day, Francisco is your person. He made our wedding a dream come true, and we wouldn’t change a single thing. (Photos courtesy of Paperbird Photography!)”

“Hiring Kat and her team was easily the best decision I made while wedding planning holy cow! I work at a wedding venue so I kept telling myself I got this I got this and right about 3 months out I was like nope I don’t got this I need to accept the fact I need help. With having relationships with a lot of coordinators it was hard to pick one so I initially went with Evivva since it was too hard to pick a “friendor” and I had not worked with them much but heard nothing but amazing things from brides I talked to. I immediately reached out to Kat and she hopped on the phone with us and got to know us and instantly we clicked and it felt like talking to a friend! Kat was our day of the Sydney helped as the event coordinator and Nikki was our event concierge! Kat held on to our marriage certificate all night, Sydney always had a water bottle on hand for my husband and I and Nikki was busy running around setting everything up for us. We had their A team for sure we felt so laid back lol I was so relaxed people kept asking if I was okay since I was just lounging around and I was like “oh yes I have the best team of people helping I’m just so at peace right now” and it felt so nice to feel 0 stress the day of the wedding after stressing for the months leading up! We loved how the Evivva team made a timeline for family, made us a packing list, and gave all important info in a beautiful shareable PDF link. It made it so easy to access and share with loved ones!! If you are second guessing hiring a day of coordinator, please please do and hire Evivva while you’re at it!! You will not regret it, absolutely 0 complaints!”

After an initial Zoom call where they explained everything they offer, how the process would work with a day-of coordinator, and broke down all the pricing, we felt confident moving forward—and we’re so glad we did. We had Naomi as our day-of planner, and she was absolutely amazing. We truly could not have asked for a better person to help guide us through the final stretch leading up to our wedding on August 2nd. From the start, she made everything feel manageable. We Zoomed once a week to stay on track, and she walked us through what needed to be done on our end vs. what she would handle. She answered every question (big or small) and was always willing to schedule extra meetings if we needed them. Naomi was there for our dress rehearsal the night before and stayed with us all day on the wedding day. She took care of setup, made sure every guest got the right meal, and kept everything running smoothly—so much so that if any issues came up, we never even knew. She handled everything with such grace and calm, and because of her, we were able to truly enjoy our day without stress.

“We had such a wonderful experience working with Breanna at Top Shelf for our wedding at the Sagamore Pendry in September 2025. She was the perfect partner and added so much support and ease to our day. Not only did she help with questions and ideas leading up to the event - especially because we were planning a wedding out of town on a shorter timeline. but she also took care of everything top to bottom on our wedding day and totally understood my vision for my dream day! She was responsive, creative, and so easy to work with. She never made me feel like I was too type A, or that my ideas were too much or not enough. She was so professional and quick to move around behind the scenes while we were preoccupied enjoying our wedding and handled all of the arrivals and departures of our vendors with detailed care. I can’t say enough good things about our experience, and I highly recommend Breanna for your special day!”

“I can’t say enough amazing things about Rachel as our wedding planner. She was the calmest, most grounding presence and made our entire day feel effortless. She got along with everyone, ran with all of our silly ideas, and somehow made our vision come to life even better than we imagined. Truly could not have done it without her. Counting down the days until she moves to D.C. so we can be real-life friends!”

Each event is a carefully curated experience where the client’s vision is executed with precision, elevated through thoughtful design, and brought to life with seamless flow. With a focus on enhancing the overall experience—not just the aesthetic—Noelle blends creative direction with logistical mastery so every moment feels effortless, intentional, and distinctly personal. Events are expertly produced, emotionally resonant, and elevated from start to finish.

“I genuinely do not even know where to begin when it comes to Noelle because there are not enough words to explain how incredible she is. From the VERY beginning of my wedding planning process over a year ago, she handled absolutely everything and more. Any thought, question, idea, concern, crash out, or micromanaging moment I had (and trust me… there were MANY), I could text or call her at literally any time, and she was always there. Not once did she ever make me feel annoying, dramatic, or “too much.” Instead, she made me feel heard, understood, supported, and excited every single step of the way. What makes Noelle so special is that she doesn’t just “plan weddings.” She genuinely takes your vision and transforms it into something bigger and more beautiful than you could have even imagined for yourself. The ideas I had in my head for my wedding somehow came to life TIMES TEN. Every tiny detail was perfected. She thought of things before I even had to ask. She guided me through every decision while still making me feel like the wedding truly reflected me and my husband. And the professionalism? Insane. The organization? Insane. The patience? Saint level. She worked with my budget and constantly gave me options to still achieve the luxury, elegant look I wanted without making me feel pressured to spend beyond my means. She found almost all of my vendors, and every single one of them was phenomenal. The amount of compliments I still receive from guests weeks and months later about how beautiful, organized, and seamless my wedding was honestly speaks for itself. But what REALLY blew me away was wedding day itself. When I tell you I did not have a single worry in the world, I mean it. Noelle and her team handled EVERYTHING. She was genuinely a rockstar from beginning to end. At one point she literally did my late night McDonald’s run herself while her assistants stayed behind making sure me, my bridal party, and my family had everything we needed. Who does that?! That level of care is so rare. She treated my wedding like it was just as important to her as it was to me. Not only did she become my wedding planner, but over this past year she truly became someone so special to me and my family. My family and friends could not stop complimenting her professionalism, kindness, work ethic, and calming presence. I literally had my mom’s friends texting me asking for her information because they were so blown away by her. Noelle made wedding planning FUN. She made it exciting instead of stressful. Honestly, she makes me want to plan another wedding tomorrow just to work with her again. I’m truly going to miss our hours-long meetings spent perfecting every little detail because it all paid off in the most unbelievable way. I can confidently say my wedding would NOT have been what it was without her. She gave me the wedding of my dreams and more, and I will forever be grateful that I trusted her to guide me through one of the biggest moments of my life. I truly believe one day I’ll see her planning celebrity weddings because her talent is genuinely on that level. Thank you for everything, Noelle. I would choose you over and over and over again.”
