Angela's Elegant Events

ANGELA IS AN ANGEL!!! she helped with everything I needed her for and helped keep my mother sane! The day of the wedding was so flawless and my husband and I still talk about her a month later!!! She was a recommendation to us and I would pass her on to anyone getting married!!!

I honestly thought me and my mom could handle it all. Until we met Angela. There were so many small details that we didn't think or know about. She helped with our programs, created and printed our table numbers, and found us gorgeous linens and chair covers at a great price. She also made all of our centerpieces. I was extremely impressed during our rehearsal. She was completely prepared and professional. She worked with the musicians, our pastor, and our wedding party to make everything flawless for the ceremony. If there were glitches, I didn't know about it! She just took care of it all. Everyone always said how fast the day would go and that I wouldn't remember much of it. But, because Angela was handling the logistics, I was able to enjoy my day as a BRIDE. You may think you can do it yourself. But you really need Angela by your side!!!

If you want a planner that actually cares about you, then you need to hire Angela. She replied to my initial email within an hour and we were on the phone the same night. I was stressing and anxious because the young lady I hired was nice, but not efficient. Angela put me at ease right away. I immediately hired Angela and had a "to do" list and was in touch with great vendors within the week. Hiring Angela was the best value of our day. Her vendor relationships, her decor and inventory, and her experience put her above others that we interviewed. Everyone wants to save money on their wedding expenses, but I didn't want to sacrifice the quality. I hired someone less expensive and later found out that she was less than qualified and had to let her go. Angela made my planning so easy: whether it was my crazy family seating chart, she organized my RSVPs and meal selections, helped select flowers, did table mock ups with different linens, and found me a trolley. My day turned out exactly the way I wanted it. Everyone was on time and all of my vendors said how easy she is to work with. Thank you Angela for letting me "just be a bride" and not have to worry about the other stuff. I knew I was in good hands from the first phone call!

I relied on Angela as my day-of coordinator. She was responsible for setting up the ceremony and reception space, running the ceremony, breaking down both spaces and running the rehearsal. Everything was just the way I wanted it. And when I discovered at the reception that I had left my makeup bag at the ceremony site, she drove there herself to retrieve it. That act was definitely above and beyond. Even when I got a little snippy due to the stress of the day, she took it in stride and was completely professional. She is a wonderful person to have backing you up on your wedding day! Mary

Angela is a wonderful coordinator. When Angela says "she got this"...she got it! I am so glad I met you Angela you are the best and you give 100% when doing your job. I am happy to finally be marry but sad that I no longer will need your service. You made me feel relax and just go with the flow and know that everything will be fine or they will have to deal with you. THANK YOU Angela! Darryl and Meco

Angela took pretty much everything off of my plate. I gave her some ideas on what I wanted with respect to flowers, decor, etc. and she picked what she thought would work for us. She picked the band (which we loved). The day of her "emergency" bag came in handy more than once. I am extremely grateful for everything that she did for us and would recommend her to anyone.

Words can't express how spectacular my wedding day was. It was everything that I'd planned for and much more! Angela's Events went above and beyond. No matter how big or small she handled each and every moment of the day with professionalism and paid prompt attention to every detail. The families that came from out of town were made to feel at home. She handled every detail I didn't have worry about a thing. My husband and I thank you from the bottom our hearts!!

Below is a copy of the thank you that I sent to Angela soon after my daughter's wedding. I think it truly shows what an amazing job she does. "I just had to let you know how much I appreciate ALL that you did to make Bonnie & Brian's wedding day so perfect! Just knowing you and your staff were taking care of all of the details (large and small) allowed me to relax, and completely enjoy every second of this special day in my daughter's life. As soon as I saw you at the rehearsal, I felt a sense of calm overtake me, and that feeling continued to stay with me through out the whole wedding weekend. I can't tell you what a wonderful gift that is to give to a "worry wart" Mom like me, especially one who tends to fret over every little detail! I really think you are spelling your name wrong ~ you should drop the "a" at the end, because to me, you were "my angel."

First let me just say that I am honored to have gotten the chance to meet Angela.She is a true delight to work with and I would absolutely suggest her to any of my family or friends that were planning a Wedding. We were just starting out in life and to be frank with our budget I did not think that we would be able to do much at all.This was to be my special day and I wanted it to be just that.Angela and her team worked hand and hand with me planning what was to be the most beautiful day of my life.She was down to earth yet always kept it professional.She made sure to always keep an open line of communication and was very approachable.I had many a melt down and Angela was there to keep me level headed and always reassured me that everything would be Great.My guests also were very pleased with her performance.Well I have spoken enough now and I hope that you give Angela the opportunity to make your day extra special.

Thank you Angela for helping me and my wife plan such a beautiful day in Richmond-- all the way from California. She dreamed of a beautiful, yet simple wedding in Richmond and you helped her plan it with numerous phone calls, emails, text, and Facebook. After I first spoke with you, I knew she'd immediately hire you. She did. And, you worked your magic. Invitations, flowers, menu selection, cake...you made it happen. We showed up a week before and met you for the first time. Your personality in person is just as sweet as it is in your emails. All we had to do was get married and have a good time. We know you worked hard, but you never broke a sweat. If you're unsure about hiring a planner or which one to hire. Choose Angela Elegant Events, it's an easy decision. Thanks Again Angela!!!!

Angela and her team are a delight to work with! No detail was overlooked. My day ran smoothly and we didn't want it to end! People always told me that I wouldn't remember it because it would go so fast. Because Angela took care of the details and work I did not have to worry about one thing and was actually able to enjoy my own wedding. I would recommend her to every bride and groom...whether you think you need a planner or not. Believe me, you need Angela!

Wedding Date: June 15, 2013 I was against hiring someone to plan "our" wedding, but I soon found out that I wasn't able to help my overwhelmed fiancee with much of the process. We interviewed several planners and clicked immediately with Angela. From beginning to end, Angela was a gem to work with. She listened to us, understood our wants and our budget. She found great vendors to work with us. She was also kind and so much fun to work with. She made sure my fiancee (now my wife) was never stressed. She's organized, thoughtful, and beyond efficient. She's worth EVERY penny and more! Thank you Angela for a great planning process and an absolutely WONDERFUL wedding for both of us!

I found Angela during an online search and wanted a "day of" coordinator. I didn't need anyone to help me plan the wedding itself for the most part and that didn't fit in my budget. I am a VERY detail-oriented person so I had little booklets for all of the people involved in the wedding. During my planning, if I had a question about how something was "typically done" during the wedding execution, Angela was right there to answer it. I sent her my schedule of events so she could tweak if necessary. She came the day of the walk through of the reception area to make sure everything was being out in the right spot. She was there for the rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, and stayed after to help set up the tent for the reception. When my table cards went missing right before the wedding she spent extra time locating them. Her husband came on the wedding day to help with the groom and his groomsmen and I will never forget that Angela reminded me to smile when I was walking back down the aisle with my handsome groom. I was happy but suffer from BRF so no one could tell. During the wedding there were so many little catastrophes that I never knew happened because Angela intervened. This allowed my family, my groom, and myself to enjoy the wedding day and not stress the details. Without Angela, my wedding would not have been the joyous memory that it now is.

Angela's Elegant Events did a very nice job coordinating for us on the day of the wedding. She kept track of all of our contracts and met with us several times before the day of to discuss the timeline, etc. On the day of it was very nice to not have to worry about setting up/decorating the reception site. She also helped get my things from the church to the reception site. The only thing that didn't go well was that there was no champagne served before the toasts; it came out during the 2nd toast, and I feel like this could have been coordinated better between the DJ, caterer and day of coordinator. Otherwise, everything went very smoothly. Angela and her team did a good job.

My husband and I were very happy with Angela's services. She found us a wonderful cater and florist. She really pulled all of the pieces together to create my dream wedding. Angela is very easy to work. I always felt at ease around her. She takes the time to really talk you thru all the options. She is wonderful.

Angela is so great to work with! She's so personable and made everything run smoothly which was a HUGE help on my big day! I had no worries and she's so professional. She took care of the location and knew all corresponding vendors that she even saved me money by making it under my budget. I'd recommend her to anyone. She does other events as well, not just weddings.

Angela was absolutely awesome. She was willing to meet with us, make changes with us as we needed, and was there for us through the whole process. Of course on the wedding day, we had issues and troubles, but Angela was there and took care of any and every issue. I would recommend her for anyone looking for help with their wedding.

Angela's Elegant Events did an excellent Job. I would and have highly recommended her. Things you never think of she already has it done. Excellent!!!!

I hired Angela for a day of coordinator/planner. She did so much more than "day of." She helped me prior to the wedding and emailed me frequently to see how things were going. She also met with me at the venue and a second time in person to go over things and settle any issues I had. She did an amazing job on the day of my event. It rained (yes, outdoor wedding was planned) but pulled everything together perfectly and I didn't have to worry about coordinating with any of the other vendors. Besides being a wonderful coordinator, she is a great person and was wonderful to work with. Thank you, Angela, for making Ben and I's day so great. We truly appreciate everything.

Hi Angela, On behalf of Ben, our families and myself I would like to say THANK YOU! Because of you our day was everything we could have dreamed of and more. I don't know what we would have done with out you and your super assistants (that's my nick name for them). You and your ladies were there before I could even think of needing yall. You don't know how much of a relief it was knowing that everything was being taken care of and all I had to worry about were the ladies in the party. You handled Ben's mom being late way way better than I did and had you not been there I don't think she would have made it. I wish there were words to describe how grateful and appreciative Ben and I are for your services. If and when any of my friends get married I will tell them that they need to hire you. Thank you again for everything you did for us, you helped to make our day PERFECT! Thanks so much and take care! Ben and Jessica Rouse

I don't know what we would have done without Angela's help - she was there to help us through the rehearsal and several hours before the wedding to help get everything set up and tell everyone where to go when; and she was there after the wedding to help clean up. She's deathly allergic to mosquitos but she was still there in my family's yard hanging decorations, decorating our chuppah, and who knows what else. I was off somewhere else getting ready the whole time, but both my and my husband's mothers raved about how wonderful she is. We have already passed on her name to some friends who have also been looking for a planner. She was by far one of the best investments on our wedding day (and I hadn't even planned on getting a coordinator!).

Angela, I don't know where to begin to thank you for EVERYTHING! You are the BEST and everyone kept telling us how great you were. Everything was perfect and beautiful; the wedding ran smoothly, the reception ran smoothly and I owe it all to you. I truly had the wedding of my dreams and I will never be able to thank you enough. I know I changed my mind on everything a million times but you were patient with me and you kept going with me until we found the perfect colors, the perfect flowers, the perfect everything. I will give out your name to anyone who needs a planner. You deserved every award that you have received.

Angela was so helpful during the planning process. She offered several ideas and options for us to go with for our big day. She was always available for any questions I had. Angela decorated our entire reception area and the guest loved it. We got so many compliments and the photos are beautiful. She was great to work with and our wedding day would not have ran smooth without her. Her rates are also outstanding. With our tight budget Angela was affordable and gave us price saving options to meet our budget goals. Our wedding looked so expensive and we really spent a small amount of money on decorations and linens. She has great connections with area vendors and can get really good deals on rentals. We loved our sweetheart table for just the bride and groom. It gave us some privacy while eating so we could catch our breath and talk. She was great in the mens area before our wedding started making sure they were all set. I pretty much planned my wedding alone so without Angela my day would of been a nightmare! Angela stayed late after all the guest left and made sure the cleaning was complete to avoid us paying a fine. She is great!

We hired Angela as our day-of coordinator, but she went above and beyond that. She helped us order cheaper linens and even went all the way back to our house the night before the wedding to get our marriage license, which we forgot! Angela will always call or email you back promptly and gives excellent service!

I can not say enough great things about Angela and her services. She was absolutely awesome!! The service she provides along with her professional and personable demeanor was wonderful. Angela is very knowledgeable and has access to great resources and vendors that helped us save money and get the wedding of our dreams. We were married on 9/10/11 and it was the best wedding ever!!!!! Much thanks and appreciation for ALL the hard work and efforts Angela gave us.

I admit I was hesitant on hiring a planner but it truly is worth every penny and more. I worked with Angela for over a year and I was a very needy bride since I lived in Las Vegas and was planning a 2 day affair in Richmond, VA. Angela was able to help me find the best deals within my budget and gave me some amazing ideas to make my venue stand out. I truly loved working with her and have gained a lifelong friend as well during this journey in my life. I saved 25% on my special linens bc of Angela I saved on my cupcakes and cake by 50% bc of Angela's suggestion I had an amazing ice sculptor at my reception bc of Angela's suggestion I had an amazing caterer for Friday's event and Saturday's reception bc of Angela's suggestion and knowledge of vendors

My fiancee and I hired Angela's Elegant Events to help us plan our April 2 , 2011 wedding in Richmond Va. When we first met with Angela, I could feel her energy and great spirit right away,I knew she was the right one, to help us acheive the vision we wanted for our special day. She is professional, available when you need her , and very friendly. She did a wonderful job planning and helping us with our wedding. She conducted our wedding rehearsal, did our programs, menus, our beautiful candy table, hosted our wedding as the MC... and so much more at a very reasonable price. All in All.......Angela's Elegant Events, did an outstanding job and I would reccommend her to anyone that wants a great wedding planner :)

Angela made our day very beautiful and stressfree. She was very professional, creative, fun and easy going. She even decorated the reception for us as well. She loves what she does and it shows in her work. She takes care of all the little details. She is great!!! Future brides I will recommend her over and over and over again.

Time got away from me the week before my wedding. MY DIY went bad real quick. She finished my programs, table numbers, and my favors. It turned out just the way I wanted. My wedding day was a breeze because of her. The DJ needed an extra extension cord and she had one in her magic bag. I forgot my cake server set and she had that too. I didn't find out any of that until later. I don't know how brides run their wedding day without a coordinator. I definitely recommend Angela.

It is with great pleasure that I recommend Angela for all of your wedding and coodinating needs. I meet Angela in 2003, seven month before my wedding. With her, I was afforded the opportunity to place all of my burdens on her and truly enjoy the planning process. During this time that I was albe to go on autopilot and allow Angela to make all of the plans and arrangements for me (and much more cost effective than I ever could have!!). Angela always displayed a high degree of professionalism, creativity, and timeliness. She definitely has a calling and loves the work that she does. In addition to her excellent organization skills, she has proven her dedication.

I loved everything about Angela. She was on the same page with me the whole time. I was in Hawaii the duration of the planning and she got everything exactly the way I wanted it.
