Echo Event & Design

  • Serves Columbia, MD

I'm Mary, the planner and heart behind Echo Event & Design. I work with couples who want a wedding that feels genuinely like them: not a template, not a trend, but a celebration that reflects who they truly are and what matters to them most. My approach is rooted in what I call permission over pressure: my job is to make sure you feel joy during this process, not anxiety, so you can be fully present for every moment of your own wedding day.

Mary was such an amazing and professional person to work with. We booked her to be our day of coordinator for our wedding. She was honestly an expert in her field, always thinking 5 steps ahead. She was a great person to work with. As someone who planned most of my wedding, Mary came in like we’ve been working together the whole time. It was a very seamless transition having her on my team. She also has so many fun and amazing stories to share! Mary and her assistant Kerla were great! They truly made it so easy for me to just be the Bride at my wedding. Also, book her and Sandra from Ispire Catering and Events for the best duo ever!!

I wish I could rate Shining Time Wedding more than 5 stars! They were BY FAR the best vendor we worked with for our wedding. Our planner, Rina, was incredible from the very beginning. Even before we booked a venue, I knew choosing the right planner would be the most important decision for our wedding, and it was so important to find someone who understood my vision. The fact that they also excel at florals was an amazing bonus. In the days leading up to the wedding, Rina did everything in her power to make sure everything all came together: helping coordinate vendors, even through tight time constraints and restrictions. I don't know how she did it, but she made it work! It truly was the most beautiful wedding I could have imagined for myself, and I’m so grateful to Rina and the entire Shining Time Wedding team for bringing it to life.

Sarah and the rest of the Events by Rose team were the MVPs of our wedding planning process. From the start Sarah took time to get to know us as a couple, to ensure our wedding day reflected who we are. Sarah was always 10 steps ahead, thinking about every little detail of our special day. Her organization was extremely impressive to see first hand. Even the vendors we spoke with face-to-face raved about her organization, professionalism, and how easy it is to work with her. I think it speaks volumes that everyone she interacts with (clients and vendors alike) love to work with her. She is outstanding at balancing all the moving parts of a wedding with ease, and always made sure we felt comfortable with every step of the process. Sarah always took the time to help us finetune even the smallest of details, making sure the day would include everything we wanted. So many of our friends have said the wedding process was one of the most stressful times in their lives, but we did not have that experience at all and this is hugely attributed to Sarah and her team. The experience was enjoyable and exciting, and we never once found ourselves overwhelmed. We would have never been able to make it to our wedding day while still having fun, if we didn’t have Sarah leading our team. On the day of our wedding, Sarah and her team were OUTSTANDING! We felt cared for by each member of the team and our guests felt the entire day flowed perfectly, all thanks to Sarah. Every small detail was planned out and went exactly as planned. Sarah went above and beyond, making sure we had everything we needed, all while managing our vendors and guests. If you are wondering if you should hire Events by Rose for your wedding the answer is absolutely yes! Thanks again Sarah and the Events by Rose team for everything you did, we literally could not have done it without you. You helped make our perfect wedding day a reality!

Chrysalis Memories, LLC 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
Columbia, MD
  • Offers 7 services
  • Starts at $200

Hi! I’m April, Founder & Lead Coordinator of Chrysalis Memories. 😊 I believe life’s biggest moments deserve to feel meaningful, personal, and beautifully celebrated. My journey in weddings and events began in 2010 as an intern with an established event-planning company. After a decade learning the craft and three years working professionally, I bring 15 years of industry experience to every celebration. I’m a hopeless romantic, creative at heart, and detail-loving planner who genuinely cares about people. My goal is to handle the details behind the scenes so you can relax, feel supported, and be fully present for the moments that matter most. My approach is warm, organized, personal, and flexible when plans change. 💕✨

I was a DIY bride through and through and quite proud of it. I have years of event coordination experience, I'm incredibly detail-oriented, and I know exactly what I want and how to execute it. I was convinced I didn't need a wedding coordinator and I could handle it all myself. I was wrong.... As the wedding date drew closer, the weight of it all hit me at once: managing vendors, finalizing design details, coordinating family flying in from out of state, and somehow getting myself together for the biggest day of my life. It was too much! At the gentle nudging of a friend, I reached out for help. April at Chrysalis Memories answered the call — and I will forever be grateful that she did! From the moment we connected, April was EVERYTHING! She jumped in immediately, listened carefully to my vision, asked all the right questions, and helped me identify the gaps I didn't even know existed. She is patient, kind, and incredibly professional — the kind of person who makes you feel completely at ease even when the stakes are high and family members want to share there "helpful" opinions. And then she delivered. Literally. When we ran into issues with our baker, April didn't just problem-solve — she personally met with the baker, resolved the situation, picked up the cupcakes that were running late, and had them assembled and beautifully displayed before a single guest arrived. That moment told me everything I needed to know about who she is. She also wrangled my wonderfully chaotic crew of friends and family who wanted to help decorate — and somehow managed to coordinate people of every personality type, age, and background into one seamless, cohesive effort. They adored her. Honestly, so did everyone. My only regret? Not hiring April sooner! She made everything feel effortless, joyful, and exactly what I had always dreamed of. All of the little details that mattered to me, mattered to her. My husband and I had the absolute best day of our lives — and so much of that is because of her. If you're on the fence, consider this your sign. You seriously won't regret it!

Greetings and salutation! I am a blue haired, tattooed geek girl wedding planner with a love of dragonflies & offbeat events! I have also been wedding planning since 2004. I haven't met a DIY project I can't wait to try, a scrapbook page I didn't want to make, or a cosplay idea I didn't want to put together. Watching all the different elements come together to make something come alive is fantastic. I approach all my events the same way. Helping a client pull together all of their puzzle pieces to make an event that is uniquely theirs is the best feeling!

Our wedding was going to be so simple, if you ask my husband. Tee-shirts. Taco truck. American Legion. Guests. Done. Even he had to thank Fran profusely for all of her foresight, thoughtful touches, and management skills. This was a second wedding for both with kids and exes on both sides. It went off flawlessly, thanks to Fran. Our wedding ceremony and reception were on consecutive days. She printed and framed ceremony pics to display at the reception. She kept an eye on tipsy guests and let us know about potential issues. She found seats for the guests who I had carelessly left off the seating chart. She picked up, deployed, and returned the table cloths and had special little decorations for our table. I couldn't possibly list all the things she did to make the day run smoothly and to make us feel cared for and loved. Thank you Fran. You almost make me want to do it all over again.

I’ve been meaning to write this review for a while. My wedding was on 5/3/25. Working with Events Come True Wedding Planning took so much stress off our shoulders leading up to our big day. They were responsive to every question we had and stayed on top of all the small details that we didn't have to worry about. On the wedding day itself, they handled things like choreographing how the bridal party would walk and made sure we had food waiting after our photoshoot, which was such a thoughtful touch. The team showed up as both professionals and genuinely kind people who cared about making our day special. We felt comfortable trusting them with our vision because they listened and delivered exactly what we needed. We'd recommend Events Come True to any couple looking for a planner who is attentive, organized, and truly invested in their wedding.

An experienced and award-winning wedding planner/coordinator in Baltimore, Maryland, RCC Weddings & Events prides itself on transforming visions into realities. Owned by certified wedding planner Renee Coshin Coolbaugh, the company’s organizational skills are perfect for newly engaged couples or couples who have been planning for some time. Crafting memorable celebrations, RCC Weddings & Events strives to exceed your wedding day expectations!

Renee is THE wedding planner - look no further!! From the jump, she took us under her wing and answered any and all questions we had, was extremely attentive, and made us feel comfortable and prepared. Having planned too many weddings to count, she really knows the industry and all the ins and outs of planning a wedding. She met with us multiple times leading up to the wedding, and always came prepared with outlines, itineraries, and details that we would have never thought of! She also is the sweetest and so easy to get along with. Truly felt like we had known her for years. With regards to communication, she was extremely responsive, and always kept us in the loop. As we got closer to the wedding, and things inevitably became more hectic, vendors would email us questions and before I could even think of a response, Renee had already replied and had the situation handled. I can’t tell you the amount of ease and stress relief Renee brought us. The weekend of the wedding, my husband and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Her team was quick and efficient and got things done. Our ceremony and reception set up was done exactly the way we had described and even exceeded expectations when we told her to use her creative liberties! I am the type to stress about details and worry about things running smoothly, but on our wedding day, I didn’t think twice about anything but enjoying the day. We knew Renee had it handled. If I thought of something last minute to bring up to Renee she would immediately say with ease, “we have it handled, don’t worry about a thing!!” I can’t emphasize how much that meant to us. My biggest advice to anyone planning a wedding would be to book a wedding planner and to get RENEE!!!! We will forever look back on our wedding knowing we, and everyone at our wedding, fully enjoyed every second and were not swept up in day-of tasks and duties. No one was stressed or worried about getting something done. People got to relax, party, and just enjoy themselves, because Renee had it handled.

MICKNICS has spent the last five years turning "I don't know where to start" into wedding days that feel like the couple planning them and not a template. What began as luxury picnics and proposal styling grew, client by client, into full wedding planning, design, and day-of coordination for couples across MD, DC, VA, DE, and PA. 100+ celebrations in, we still start every relationship the same way, by listening first.

If I could plan my wedding all over again, I would choose MickNics every single time. From our very first conversation, she listened to every idea, was incredibly patient, and truly understood the vision I had for our wedding day. She took everything I imagined and somehow made it even more beautiful than I ever expected. To this day, I still think about how stunning everything looked. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, perfectly styled, and came together seamlessly. Beyond her incredible talent, she was organized, trustworthy, responsive, and such a calming presence throughout the entire planning process (which I needed). Communication was always clear, and I never had to wonder if things were being handled because she was always one step ahead. On a day that can be so stressful, having someone you completely trust is priceless. Since our wedding, I’ve hired her for other parties and events because I know she will always deliver something beautiful. Whether you need a wedding stylist, coordinator, or someone to bring your vision to life, I cannot recommend MickNics enough. She GENUINELY cares about her clients, pours her heart into every event, and creates spaces that people will remember long after the day is over.

Hey there! We are so excited you stumbled upon our little corner of the wedding and event world! Working out of Howard County, Maryland and servicing the DMV and Eastern Shore, LoKel provides day-of coordination for the couple who has done most of the "ground work" and just needs a little help bringing it all together so you can focus on your day. Lauren (Lo) and Kelsey come together with their creative spark and years of experience in the wedding and events industry to bring your dreams to life. From grand ballrooms to backyard simplicity, the gals at LoKel have certainly done it all. We cant wait to meet you!

The LoKel team are magic makers. Their expertise in the event industry is undeniable, but what truly sets them apart is their care, presence, and ability to hold space for all the moving pieces—both tangible and emotional—that come with coordinating a wedding. Our celebration took place at a private family property, an intimate-ish backyard wedding with 130ish guests. And in case you’ve never planned a backyard wedding, it’s not as simple as it sounds. There’s no built-in infrastructure or venue team to fall back on, but with Lauren and Kelsey by our side, we felt supported and informed every step of the way. From the start of the process, LoKel’s guidance was invaluable. They helped us navigate vendor selection—pointing us toward trusted partners, steering us away from potential pitfalls, and even ensuring our contracts were designed to protect us. As the big day approached, they offered emotional support in moments when things felt overwhelming, whether we were juggling tricky family dynamics or chasing elusive vendors. And on the wedding day? They were the calm in the storm. With so many moving parts and potential for chaos—vendors setting up, family arriving, unexpected changes—they handled everything with incredible composure, making sure every detail was taken care of and bringing a sense of ease to even the most hectic moments. My husband and I got to soak in every moment, fully present and stress-free, because we knew they had everything under control. Thanks to them, our day wasn’t just seamless—it was joyful, intentional, and everything we’d dreamed of. Lauren and Kelsey don’t just plan weddings; they create an atmosphere where you can fully live in the moment. To LoKel: Thank you, thank you, thank you for bringing our vision and dream wedding day to life.

The single greatest decision we made for planning our wedding was hiring Angelita (about five months in advance) to manage it for us. Not only did she go above and beyond repeatedly - in going to bat to get vendors to lower prices for us, in being just a text away every day the month proceeding the wedding, in putting up with three hour calls where we also discussed family dramas -- she was always friendly, professional, and a genuine delight, helping manage stress and ensure everything went smoothly, even when the best man was doing things like forget he needed a suit, or jeweler wasn't responding to bride's texts and I couldn't get a quote back for rings weeks before the wedding....it was Angelita to the rescue! She took over all communications with the vendors beforehand, organized and ensured everyone had their marching orders (literally when it came to her air-traffic controller maneuvers down the aisle). That the day-of was drama free, an absolute blast, and so much fun, we hoped for -- but that the months before were, was an unexpected joy, and that was because of Angelita. Payment was easy, and options were extremely flexible. AND she helped provide resources for our honeymoon planning, just cause! I cannot recommend her entire team enough! -- From the Bride Photos included because they were only possible because of the On.hae team -- especially the one coming down the aisle :) Taken by Jackalope Photography from Edgewater, md.

My husband and I started wedding planning on our own for several months thinking it was something we would be able to handle on our own. As our date got closer we began to feel the stress and lack of experience come into play. We reached out to BeeMarried and it was the best decision we could have made. Chastity immediately jumped in ready to help us get everything we needed and wanted for our big day. Her thoroughness was evident long before the wedding day itself. She was consistently on top of every detail and communicated exceptionally well—keeping us informed and in the loop without ever overwhelming us with unnecessary stress or small details. Chastity went above and beyond in every possible way, and we truly could not have had the wedding day we did without her. From start to finish, she made the entire day feel effortless and completely stress-free for us. She was always thinking ten steps ahead, making sure every detail was handled before we even had to think about it and ensuring we had everything we needed. She made us feel so well cared for and looked after, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every second of our wedding. She was kind, professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, and her calm presence made such a huge difference. Chastity truly helped make our wedding the best day of our lives. Her organization, professionalism, and genuine care are unmatched. We cannot recommend her enough.

I was hesitant at first to spend money on a coordinator given I had a day of coordinator through my venue, but as we inched closer to the wedding I knew it would be money well spent. I was placed with Brittany who truly is the best of the best at what she does. She went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable, happy, and at ease before and during our wedding. We did the month of coordinator package and I have absolutely no regrets. Brittany was SO attentive, she made my bridal party and family feel well cared for, she made sure me and my husband always had a drink or food in front of us, she alerted us of anything that needed addressing… I could go on and on! She is the best. The sweetest. And I am forever grateful she made our day as good as it was. HIRE THEM!

Two gals making your dreams become reality! We take care of everything so you can have extra fun, extra laughs, and extra love on your special day. We've been planning/coordinating small/large scale events since 2015 and took a gap during the pandemic. During this time Krystal founded an award winning Media Agency tailored to wedding photography. While doing this she saw the disconnect and stress on brides during the planning process and how that would show up in rushed pictures or not getting their dream shots due to poor planning. So she called Fab and we need to dust off our clipboards & help! That’s how Extra Confetti Events was born!

I cannot recommend her enough! She brought my birthday vision to life and somehow made it even better than I imagined. Her attention to detail is incredible, and you can truly tell how much care and thought she puts into every element. Not only is she talented, but she’s also so friendly and easy to work with. Everything turned out absolutely beautiful!

Elevated by K&J LLC was the perfect wedding planning team for our special day. From the start, Krysten and her team were friendly, flexible and reliable - exactly what we needed during the busy wedding planning process. The quality of their work and the value they provided was outstanding. Krysten made sure I didn't have a single worry on the wedding day, as she seamlessly handled any issues that came up behind the scenes. For example, when the venue coordinator forgot to coordinate with the florist about incorporating our purchased greenery, Krysten stepped in and took care of it. I was able to be fully present and blissfully in the moment the entire day, thanks to Krysten and her team gently carrying the load. If you're looking for a wedding planning team that will truly keep the bride in mind, I highly recommend Elevated by K&J LLC.

At N. Marie Events, we’re dedicated to creating authentic, personalized, and unforgettable weddings that reflect the unique love stories, values, and visions of our clients. Serving DC, Maryland, and Virginia, every celebration is thoughtfully crafted to ensure every detail aligns with what matters most, creating a meaningful and memorable experience.

From a fellow vendor's POV: When planning a wedding, getting-ready hours can get hectic fast, and it is so important to have calm, grounded people in the room with you. Zaakira was exactly that for the couple and fellow vendors. Everything was mapped out and communicated ahead of time, so none of us vendors were left wondering what came next. There was a moment when the bride was having a vulnerable moment. Zaakira quietly stepped in with her calm energy and the rest of the room never even knew there was a moment at all. Someone who can hold space for detailed logistics, big emotions and last minute changes is exactly the planner you need which is why I'd recommend Zaakira's planning services to my closest friends without hesitation.
