Event Details by Edelina

ere 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!

nator 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!!!!

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

lfill 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.

. 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.

ted, both setting up and tearing down/packing up, ensuring that the entire day went smoothly and we could focus on the joy of getting married and enjoying the day. She will help you as much or as little as you need when it comes to making decisions during wedding planning, which is what we also appreciated. She is also very good at anticipating any problems or issues before they arise. So thankful we found her - we recommend her!

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!!!

That alone was a huge challenge that Edelina accomplished well. She went above and beyond, by even satisfying the bride's Mom and all her requests. Truly an amazing coordinator and we couldn't have done it without Edelina Rose!

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.

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!

was able to enjoy the family and friends in town and a special and beautiful day, thanks to her and he staff. Everyone had a great time, great food, and commented on how fun and beautiful the ceremony and reception were.

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.

reception) were exactly how I wanted, and she made sure everything went smoothly on the day of the wedding, which is exactly what I needed. Edelina was wonderful to work with - any level of coordination you need...she's there!

mall details at the rehearsal so everything went perfectly during the wedding. Thank you so much Edelina for making the wedding a truly flawless execution!

ls, texts, and is so patient with even the most Type-A of brides (me!). She has amazing insights, vendor recommendations, ways to save money, and I don't know what I'm going to do now that I'm not emailing her every day! :) Most of our wedding vendors told me the day of the wedding that they've never had a wedding actually run on time and even early, she was absolutely the biggest blessing and I would recommend Edelina to absolutely anyone and everyone that is getting married. You need a coordinator, and you certainly NEED Edelina!

hours later than had been planned -- and neither the venue coordinator nor the caterer had seen fit to tell either Edelina or myself. So poor Edelina and her crew were stuck setting up all by themselves and wondering where the heck the caterer was. Thank goodness that I had taken Edelina up on her suggestion to hire two additional staff through her, because we definitely needed them! But to Edelina's credit, no one could tell that both the caterer + staff and bartender were super late. Long story short, it was invaluable to have her on the day of. And also the prices for her services are ridiculously good for the DMV area. It's so worth it, because something WILL go wrong on the day of!

e 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.

and keep on schedule. All the little details, none were overlooked. She coordinated the shuttle driver when rides were needed and prompted the whole wedding party on how to time and walk down the aisle. She was everywhere but never in evidence. She and her team are professionals! We could not have done this without her. We will use her and her team for another event if the opportunity presents itself.

y 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!

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!

l 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.

beautiful, we were so pleased with her services. Definitely a gem!

, officiant, DJ, photographer, videographer, cake baker, and hair stylist. We also rented our centerpiece vases from her. Of course, you could find your own vendors as well, which I did for our florist and makeup artist, and she'll reach out to them to coordinate the logistics so that everything goes smoothly without you having to worry about it. On the day of, she decorated our aisles and reception tables, distributed our final payments to our vendors, and kept us on schedule. Our wedding came in under budget and ahead of schedule, and neither would have been possible without her! Even if your venue comes with a coordinator, as ours did, it's just so great to have someone on your side, taking care of issues before they're escalated to you.

hout our planning process. We were so impressed with how helpful and organized she was. She was patient with us and provided great suggestions when we were unsure about things. She also seemed to remember every detail of our contracts/timeline and she had all of them organized in a binder to double check if needed. We felt comfortable with her from the moment we met and felt completely secure leaving our wedding in her hands! On our wedding day she was always on top of everything and she helped keep us on track (even though we started late). Any issue was resolved with little to no interruption to our day and several of our guests commented on how helpful and professional she was. We’d give her all the stars in the universe if we could!

stance 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.

tation 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!

ure the plan worked to a tee. The day was perfect and a lot of the credit goes to Edelina.

we upgraded. Edelina was incredible every step of the way. She was organized and always well prepared. Edelina was always quick to respond when we had questions or concerns (and we had plenty). She was able to gently keep us on task without being pushy or making us feel bad for being procrastinators. And the day of the wedding went so smoothly all because of Edelina. We unfortunately had multiple minor hiccups at our wedding but Edelina took care of everything with a smile! I cannot recommend Edelina's services enough. She is absolutely fabulous.

ils 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!

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!

g for pulling off a wedding. For example, 2 days before the wedding she found and picked up sparklers for us because I had completely forgotten and was just going to go without them. She saved the day in so many ways. Thank you Edelina!!

reat suggestions. Plus, she really helped us keep our wedding on budget. The florist she suggested was fantastic and the servers she provided for the reception were top-notch. Both went above and beyond to make sure our big day was perfect. I will definitely call on Edelina's services again and I will recommend her to everyone I know.

elina. Edelina was able to guide me through final vendor choices and offered tips and tricks for getting the most value for my money. She also helped me with some items at the last minute that I was supposed to have done, but didn't. What a life saver! The day of the wedding, she ensured every last detail was taken care of the way we had discussed. Throughout it all, Edelina was knowledgeable, energetic and kept my mind at ease. (As an added bonus, she's helpful and just plain fun!) Highly recommend her.

ng, Edelina always was extremely organized, energetic, patient and courteous. She handled pressure well. She is very understanding and demonstrated great negotiation skills when dealing with vendors. She truly knows how to handle unexpected situations and anticipates issues. We highly recommend Edelina as a wedding coordinator.

e, and a consummate professional, she helped us narrow down our options so we weren’t completely overwhelmed. The final decisions were always ours and we never felt pressured. Edelina brought innovative ideas to the table that fit us as a couple and also fell within our budget. Her attention to detail and organizational skills ensured everything ran smoothly allowing us to focus on our guests and enjoy our special day. We would highly recommend Event Details by Edelina.

e. We couldn't have done it without her! Event Details by Edelina will always be my number 1 choice for any planning needs I may have in the future.

d her crew I was able to do that. We talked about everything before the reception -- but the night before I signed off and told her that I did not want to be bothered with any questions or issues the day of the reception. And I didnt have to! And everything happened exactly I had wanted it to. Appetizers came out just at the right time. Cake platter was decorated just how I wanted it. I have used Edelina's company a few times after that. She also planned our house warming party -- which was again seamless. My friends have also used her company's services for their parties. I am so glad I found her!

your special day, I cannot imagine not having Edelina as part of the process. She was so detail oriented and thoughtful that I can only imagine the additional stress we would have had if she had not been our planner. She is the best!

g planner. This proved to be one of the best decisions in our wedding planning process - Edelina is very knowledgeable of the wedding industry in the area, high energy, and extremely personable. She took the time to get to know us and understand what we wanted in our wedding and was able to provide recommendations that reduced the cost of the wedding while meeting our needs. I highly recommend Event Details by Edelina.

g into the final price of the cake... just $50 for simply existing). What made us choose her: Edelina was the only wedding planner that discussed budget immediately. All the other vendors would simply hand us a "this is how much we cost" wedding package overview and mostly told us about their limitations (e.g. only have 3 in person meetings, etc.) General Overview: Edelina's services also paid for themselves over and over (e.g. she found a platinum wedding band for my now husband for $2K that was getting quoted for $5K elsewhere). She provided 24/7 non stop attention to us in regards to major decisions/changes (how to work with the venue, which had 3 on-site coordinators turn over) to minor details (e.g. tipping right before wedding day). Why we loved her: Edelina would text/email me random ideas that went with our "vintage" theme. For e.g. when she was doing other weddings, she saw they had a "good idea" and wanted to share it as a best practice. We expanded the scope of our contract multiple times with her and didn't hesitate overall upgrading our initial package. Again, she paid for herself in the serves rendered with other vendors over and over. She even thought about minor details I never would think of (e.g. Origami Owl gifts for bridal party/mother of bride/groom jewelry). Me and my husband's mom wore their necklaces all weekend! We also noticed she was very genuine and really enjoyed wedding planning beyond "just a job" mentality. There were definitely professional boundaries, but when there was bridal party drama and issues with people getting into town before the wedding, then she was always there to listen to. Another thing I loved about Edelina was her help in the communication for the wedding. For e.g. she helped draft and translate a phrase for one of our wedding guests that our wedding was "adults only/no kids" who mostly spoke spanish and she event ran it by her mom (fluent in spanish) to make sure it was legit phrasing to be polite yet to the point. Wedding Day: Edelina had to pick up the slack for where the onsite venue definitely lacked. There was a lot of mess from a party the night before still uncleaned that she had to attend to get it cleaned up. We had the wedding in the courtyard and patio furniture needed to be moved. She started doing it herself b/c the hotel staff said "that wasn't my job" (please see our review of Hotel Monaco in Old town for the rest of this). In addition, she had the weather elements to deal with. for e.g. super windy and the aisle runner was all over the place as well as the florist items were falling over (unfortunately one of the vases fell over and broke). Basically, I was completely unaware of all of this during my day. She went out of her way to make sure I was completely unaware of it. She's also willing to help me list my wedding items i'm trying to re-sale and even offered to give some advice re: a quick getaway before our honeymoon. Bottom line, if you want someone to rely on and think of things that you never thought about and always have your back... you'll make the most important decision of your life (for the biggest day of your life) and hire Edelina.

e staffing option for the service that was provided. We would definitely recommend their services. Fortunately, or unfortunately, we have such loving friends that the staff was not able to do a whole lot. So the quality I rated a bit lower simply because they weren't able to do all that was asked because our friends cleaned up so much. Praise be to God! We are so blessed!

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!

was engaged at every step, and she offered me guidance whenever I asked for it plus a few times when I didn't realize I needed some help. She also has a great sympathetic ear for those little wedding stresses that no one else seems to understand. I really liked working with Edelina. She was a key part of making my wedding day perfect. Edelina is amazing!
