General Event Coordination
Q: What types of events do you coordinate?
A: I specialize in a wide range of events, including weddings, corporate functions, conferences, private parties, fundraisers, and community or faith-based gatherings. Every event is customized to reflect your unique vision, style, and goals.
Q: How far in advance should I book your services?
A: For weddings or large-scale events, we recommend booking 6 - 12 months in advance. Smaller gatherings can be scheduled 2 - 3 months ahead. That said, if your event is on a shorter timeline, feel free to reach out, as I often accommodate last-minute planning.
Q: What’s the difference between a planner and a coordinator?
A: A planner helps design, organize, and manage every detail of your event from start to finish, while a coordinator ensures everything runs smoothly on the day of the celebration. I provide both event planning services and day-of coordination, depending on your needs.

A: Absolutely! As an experienced Maryland event planner and Virginia event planner, I have a trusted network of caterers, florists, photographers, and venues. I can connect you with vendors who fit your style, budget, and expectations.
