Event Details by Edelina

Edelina was wonderful to work with. We hired her for monthly consultations and day-of service. We knew that we didn't need full planning services, but wanted someone to help keep us on schedule, to ensure we weren't missing details, and to provide feedback and to answer questions. Other planners and coordinators we met with either wanted to do too much or loo little or had wedding styles that didn't match our own. Edelina had incredibly transparent pricing and made it clear that she was there to help us execute our vision. While we sometimes felt that other vendors wanted to influence our vision, Edelina was there to help us make sure that our vision - whatever that was - would become reality. Meeting with Edelina meant that we kept on schedule and provided us with an important source for brainstorming and questions. Edelina is remarkably organized, and she'll help keep you on track. Moreover, though, we really grew to enjoy Edelina's sense of humor. She became a source of support throughout the planning process. While a date change meant that Edelina unfortunately couldn't handle our wedding personally, her two associates flawlessly executed our vision. Knowing that we had the Event Details by Edelina team on our side meant that we could relax in the days leading up to the wedding and trust that they had everything under control. We're very grateful to Edelina and highly recommend her!

Edelina was very helpful during the entire wedding planning process. We started working with her about a year before the wedding and would meet every other month. She kept us on track with major items to focus on for the upcoming months. As the wedding day got closer, she was active in our venue walkthru and day of coordination. I honestly didnt even see her that much day of because she had everything under control and I felt like I didnt even need to double check anything or worry about the details. By the end of the night, she had everything packed up and in our hotel room. Would definitely recommend Edelina for day of sanity and throughout the wedding planning process!

Edelina was a great wedding coordinator. She met with us every month leading up to the wedding and provided us with additional help online. she was organized as well which made sure we were as stress free as possible the week of the wedding. Would recommend for those planning a wedding even if you don't think you need help coordinator vendors, contractors, and other event staff. Edelina makes coordinating one less thing to worry about off your plate.

Edelina was absolutely wonderful through the whole process of planning. We checked in monthly and she made sure to keep us on track while consistently providing us good information about each step of the process. She was always available by email and would answer questions enthusiastically. On the day of she was invaluable to keep things running smoothly, and we were able to focus on enjoying our day because of that. We are so grateful to her for all she has done!

Edelina was simply amazing, went above and beyond. We worked with Edelina for about 6 months leading up to our big day and her organization was incredible. She kept us on track of everything and even gave us ideas for things we hadn’t thought about. We had a couple of “hiccups” day of our wedding and I never even knew because Edelina was on top of everything. Simple the best out there, I can’t say enough good things.

As someone who set out to plan our wedding, I knew I needed help making sure everything came together -- that I didn't forget any details and that someone would actually make things happen on the day of. Hiring Edelina was the best decision we made in the planning process. Not only did she make sure we had all of our bases covered with our monthly calls leading up to the wedding, she executed everything on our wedding day perfectly. No one, not me or my husband or our family/friends, had to worry about a thing. She and her assistant took care of it all. Our wedding went so smoothly -- it felt like a dream. Cannot recommend Edelina enough.

Edelina helped us make our perfect wedding come true! We had a short planning timeline and a nontraditional event, and Edelina helped sculpt every detail around what we wanted. We loved every vendor we spoke with from her preferred vendor list and hired those who were available for our date. Her suggestions and questions around details for the event were exceptionally helpful, and led us to plan a day that represented us and that we truly loved. She and her assistant were invaluable for coordinating the day-of event, and we couldn't have done it without them.

Edelina is amazing. You can always trust her suggestions. We hired our DJ, florist, and video grapher from her list, and they are all amazing. She has quite a lot of experience and is very friendly. Not only that. On the event day, she helped take care of everything from decorating the stage to dining tables, from coordinating all the vendors to helping us keep schedules. I will definitely recommend her to my friends.

Working with Edelina was one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding. From our first meeting with her to our wedding day, she made the complex task of planning a wedding simple, smooth, and fit our style and budget. She began by making us a color-coded spreadsheet of all the things we needed to do, and met with us monthly to check in and make suggestions. Her pre-wedding process was invaluable to us, and we highly recommend it. Her recommended vendor list was top notch, and there were options at all budget levels. As our wedding day approached, Edelina thought of, and had a plan for, everything. On our wedding day, Edelina and her assistant took care of every detail. For example, a button fell off one of our suits and she pulled out a sewing kit and put it back on within minutes. We could tell how much work they put in behind the scenes but on the surface everything just happened, allowing my husband and I to just focus on the wedding, the guests, and each other. We are so lucky to have found Edelina, and are incredibly grateful for everything she did to make our wedding wonderful. We highly recommend her - she’ll be the best decision you make.

Words cannot express how thankful we are to have had Edelina as our wedding planner. She kept us so organized and pointed out things my spouse and I would have never even thought of. We contracted with her somewhere between 8-10 months before our wedding, and she tailored her 6 month contract to fit our needs. The closer we got to the wedding, the more in contact we were. It was absolute bliss to have someone so knowledgeable by our sides through everything. She also kept our priorities in check too - telling us “you can do this two months before the wedding, but start this now” I can’t recommend her services more. You really can’t go wrong with Event Details by Edelina, she really is a friend in all the crazy that eventually becomes wedding planning.

Edelina was a great planner and just what we needed to keep us on track in the months leading up to the wedding. We did not want to be stressed out and hired Edelina to ensure we could enjoy our wedding and make important decisions well in advance. She made it possible for us to enjoy every minute. She was very well organized, professional, very responsive to emails and helpful at making suggestions for anything. No detail is too big or too small for her. Great person to work with!

Edelina was a fantastic day of coordinator for our wedding. Despite us hiring her a month before our wedding for day of help, she immediately jumped on board, connected with all of vendors, and provided thoughtful and insightful guidance to ensure our night was everything we could've imagined. Edelina's attention to detail, effective time management, and ability to advocate on our behalf made her an essential component on our team.

Edelina was such a great resource to help us plan our wedding. She reviewed all of our vendor contracts and pointed out any items that needed additional clarification or attention, provided us a detailed spreadsheet of action items which kept us organized and on track, and kept in constant communication with us and our vendors. She really took the last minute stress off of our shoulders so we could enjoy the time. Edelina went above and beyond her duties for us when our reception venue had last minute water damage. She stayed in constant contact with the venue getting updates on the repair status and even stopped by the venue and sent me pictures of the progress! Edelina and Stephanie did an excellent job setting up all of our reception decor and items, not one detail was overlooked. Edelina is truly an experienced professional and will think of things you would never have thought of otherwise! We would highly recommend hiring her for your wedding :)

Edelina Rose is the wedding planner every mother-of-the-bride should hire. Edelina was absolutely critical to the success of my daughter Hannah’s wedding at Great Marsh Estate in Bealeton, Virginia. She was highly organized, calm, professional, deeply detail oriented, and very pleasant to work with. For months before the wedding, we held regular virtual meetings. At each meeting Edelina walked us through an exhaustive checklist of “things to do.” No detail was too small. No detail was overlooked. Edelina’s skill and confidence took so much of the burden off me. She coordinated closely with the many wedding vendors, including the floral designer, caterer, the venue, the cake maker, the band and more. On the wedding day, Edelina and her assistant arrived early and stayed late. Edelina ensured all the details were executed perfectly. Knowing Edelina was overseeing all the moving parts, I was able to relax and enjoy my daughter’s special day.

Great time planning our wedding/Christmas party with Edelina. She's easy to work with and on top of things. Thanks for everything you did for us!

She's an excellent wedding planner, and will do the extra mile just to ensure that the event is to everyone's satisfaction from start to finish. I will recommend her to anyone seeking her expertise.

Edelina was the definition of service and hospitality at my daughter’s wedding. The evening had zero problems despite some problems having actually arisen. Edelina quietly went about solving them and did so successfully. The wedding party didn’t even know about them til after all was over. She is professional, resourceful, on top of every little detail and an amazing problem-solver. Edelina truly is a model citizen for anyone in the wedding or service business. On top of that, she is great to be around. She is the secret ingredient to a successful event. Bar none.

I am not normally someone who writes reviews, but this review was important to me, because working with Edelina was the best decision we made for our wedding. She is a problem solver, organized, and on top of everything. She was beyond gracious when we postponed our wedding 3 times between April 2020 and September 2021 due to COVID. She was the most organized of all our vendors and kept our other vendors organized, responding to emails within a few minutes at all times of day or night. We felt lost in the wedding planning process, and Edelina was always helpful, guiding us on next steps and timelines. She went above and beyond more times than I can count. Our wedding went so smoothly, and we had no idea of some of the disasters Edelina helped us avoid: (1) there wasn't enough power in the tent for our photobooth, and she bought a generator for power the afternoon of the wedding, (2) we decided we wanted sparklers the week of the wedding and couldn't get any in time, and she had extra sparklers for us, and (3) the venue couldn't figure out how to switch on the lights in the tent, and she figured it out. As I said, everything went smoothly, and we had a perfect day, and we didn't even know about some of these issues because Edelina was so great about problem solving. We know Edelina is excellent because we worked with another wedding planner before we signed on with Edelina. In comparison, Edelina is honest, positive, has a can-do attitude, and never let anything slip through the cracks. She even had another wedding the day before our wedding that we didn't know about, because Edelina made us feel like we were her only priority. I cannot emphasize enough how much Edelina stood out from other vendors in her quality work, timeliness, and attention to detail. Edelina is a loyal and funny person, and she takes her job extremely seriously. We always looked forward to our calls with her. We will be sad not to work with her as closely, and we could not more highly recommend her.

Edelina was vital in making our wedding happen, especially with the COVID rollercoaster that was this past year. We are based in Seattle and it was immensely helpful to have someone in Virginia to keep us on track. We love working with Edelina and would recommend her to anyone looking for an event planner!

Hiring Edelina was one of the best decisions that we made in our wedding planning process. I only wish that I had hired her earlier! Her monthly tracking meetings were invaluable for keeping us on track and focused. Her experience in the wedding industry helped us navigate some tricky situations before they turned into crises. I am also grateful for her help in reviewing all of our contracts to make sure we didn't miss anything that one vendor might be requesting of another vendor. On the day of, I appreciated knowing that she could work with all of the vendors and take care of the details. I was able to focus on getting ready, the event itself, and our guests. I am sure that she solved plenty of problems without me even knowing about it and the only items that came to my attention were those that needed my input. We got almost 30 minutes behind due to delaying the ceremony waiting for a key guest, and that kind of thing makes me lose my mind with stress. She knew the schedule backwards and forwards and helped us make decisions to keep everything on track without losing any moments of the wedding. It was also great that she could speak to my new in-laws in Spanish so that my partner or his sister (a bridesmaid) didn't have to always handle that. Our wedding day was amazing, and I truly don't think it could have happened without Edelina.

Edelina was a fabulous wedding planner! Her attention to detail and calm approach settled everyone's concerns. She provided resources and guidance helping my daughter to navigate the complex planning process. Behind the scenes she expertly tended to tasks, allowing the bride to focus on other items. The day of the wedding she was poised and organized which allowed the evening to run smoothly! We felt we were in good hands and would highly recommend Edelina!!

I am not sure where to begin, to explain how wonderful Edelina was. She was an integral part of our team, a consult, and constant adviser. We set up a google hangout call with her almost monthly leading up to the wedding. She utilizes a multitude of tools to keep you on track and help ensure you are organized. Her years in the industry lead to excellent recommendations of vendors and ways of doing things. Edelina is kind and compassionate and genuinely wants you to have your perfect wedding. The day of the event she was wonderful, she worked seamlessly between all vendors, put out any small fires we had, and made sure my entire family wanted for nothing. Edelina and her team are a must add for your wedding. It was the best decision we made. We cannot thank her and Stephanie enough for all they did for us!

Edelina is the hardest working Wedding Coordinator in the business. She wowed us with her amazing attention to detail. We had a check-in call with her every month to go over all of the details and to keep us on track. She even spent a lot of time in between those monthly calls, responding same day to e-mails and phone calls. Not once did she make us feel that she was not there for us. The day of the wedding went great because Edelina and her assistant kept on top of things and made sure everything went smooth. She was so good, I had to include her as a special "thank you" in my speech because she is that good. I wouldn't hesitate hiring her again - SHE TRULY IS A ROCKSTAR!!

She was very efficient and did not micro manage us throughout the process. She asks you questions that need to be answered throughout the process and suggest ideas that could help.

Edelina was the best wedding planner ever!! She gave me & my now-husband-to-be the best advice, recommendations, & just overall the best service!! She knew exactly what we wanted, communicated with us all the time to ensure we were all on the same page, and was so organized. Definitely use Edelina and her team for your wedding!! She won't let you down at all! SHE'S THE ABSOLUTE BEST!

Edelina was absolutely amazing the entire year up to my wedding! I hired Edelina looking for a ‘day of and month of planner’ and what I got was so much more!! You can really tell that Edelina has a passion for wedding planning, because of how much knowledge she has and how much she pours her heart into her work. Edelina reviewed every single contract we signed with vendors and asked us to double check a few that didn’t seem to benefit us. She referred us to some of her friends in the business as options and we ended up using them for our wedding! She answers emails in less than 5 minutes which is incredible because this is not even her full time job. She is dedicated, very kind, extremely knowledgeable, so organized and was such a great support system during the craziness and stressfulness of planning a wedding. Edelina will make sure you are all set months before your wedding as she sets up times to catch up and helps in any way she can . She has a very organized excel sheet she prepared herself for you and color coordinated it based on what has been done or what needs to be done. She was the best decision we made in our wedding planning process and we couldn’t have been more pleased! Book her if you are looking for a wedding planner you will not be disappointed!

Edelina was so helpful in helping us get and stay organized for our wedding! You don’t realize how many tiny details there are so having someone to not only help you through figuring out what all those details are but also keep track of the decisions you’ve made is clutch for any wedding. She also was amazing about working with our families to make sure that everyone was being heard. Having her and her assistant there on the day of the wedding meant we didn’t have to worry about a thing except having the best day of our lives. Which we did - thanks so much Edelina!

I don’t think that there is a word in the dictionary to define Edelina short of "stellar!" She has developed and refined being a “wedding coordinator” down to a fine art! When you choose Edelina to handle an event for you – you have her full attention – she’s going do whatever it takes to ensure that it’s perfect! She was the wedding coordinator for my daughter’s wedding. I don’t know where we would have been without her involvement. She provided great suggestions when we initially discussed the wedding and themes; also providing excellent sources for the rental equipment, caterer and DJ. She was always there and responsive to us whenever we had a question. Her counseling and attention to our needs were met with professionalism, patience and sincerity. Edelina has many years of experience in her business and she knows exactly what she's doing. On the day of the wedding, Edelina arrived with her staff of three (which were also exceptional and worth hiring) who put the wedding and reception together beautifully with attention to every detail that we had discussed. Edelina and her staff worked together in complete rhythm, complementing one another. I enjoyed watching the wedding and reception areas come together and didn’t need to worry about a single thing. Edelina was simply amazing! She was everywhere ensuring things kept moving and were well-organized and did so with complete ease. Edelina is a very detail oriented person; the check sheets she provided were extremely helpful in keeping us up to date with the planning. No detail went unseen; no issue came up that she didn't have a solution or plan (and believe you me, things can come up at the last minute matter how organized you are.) Having Edelina manage the wedding was wonderful – we didn’t have to worry about a single thing and could completely enjoy the wedding and the guests. If you want to have a special event to go off without a hitch, then Edelina is the person that you want. Trust me, there is no one better! I want to direct your attention to one of OUR failures. Edelina recommended that we have the entire wedding party stay in the same hotel; we, unfortunately didn't do as she suggested and the wedding party was at least 4 different locations. This failure made it much more difficult to coordinate getting the bridesmaid and groomsmen together for the photographer for "before" wedding photos of each group and with the bride and groom. Pulling the wedding party together was akin to "herding cats" (lol) but Edelina miraculously managed this challenge and pulled everyone together without disruption. The photographer never realized there could have been an issue. (Trust me, this is one suggestion I highly recommend you take heed!)

Our wedding day was the most magical, beautiful, perfect day and we couldn’t have done it without Edelina. Her attention to detail and her passion to truly wanting this day to be perfect showed. Edelina was always available for a phone call and very responsive to emails. Any questions I had were answered immediately and provided some suggestions without being pushy. If anything, the suggestions were incredibly helpful for a first time bride. We love Edelina so much and this day couldn’t have been what is was without her.

Edelina was the MVP of our wedding planning process! She helped us find vendors that fit into our budget and vision and saved us thousands of dollars. Edelina kept us on track throughout and made sure we were doing things on time. When prices were 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!

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Edelina as our wedding coordinator. When we started the wedding planning process, we didn’t even have a vision for what we wanted. After several pinterest sessions, we decided we needed a coordinator 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!!!!

I can't recommend Edelina enough! She is kind, funny, well-organized, and even in high-stress situations, she stays calm, cool, and collected! Just what you want and need in a wedding planner! Although we had a day-of coordinator assigned to 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

Edelina made our wedding day flawless. There were so many blanks she filled in, fires she took out, and logistical problems that she solved with her cool, calm, and collected style. She is organized and has the highest attention to detail to fulfill 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.

Edelina is a professional. From our first meeting, she let us know how things go down when you are planning your wedding - a monumental task! She systematically tracked our progress as we found vendors, signed contracts, and watched our budget. 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.

Edelina is fantastic, she helped us navigate through wedding planning and kept us on track with choosing vendors, etc. (and recommended several good ones!). The day of the wedding we really appreciated the hustle she and her assistant demonstrated, 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!

Edelina and her team are just amazing people. From start to finish, Edelina provided extraordinary support. She did everything from recommending excellent cost-saving vendors, to making sure we had not missed any details or requirements leading 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!!!

My daughter's wedding was at the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria on a Saturday at 6:30pm. This meant that Edelina not only had to coordinate all the bridal party, guests, but also had only roughly an hour to set up after it closed to the public. 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!

My wedding day could not have been what I dreamed of if it weren't for Edelina. Hands down best decision ever. Her personality is caring and supportive, her services are limitless and she excels at everything that she does. She will meet with 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.

Edelina made our wedding planning process go smoothly. From the start, Edelina listened to our needs and gave us valuable insights on her past experiences. We met numerous times to discuss logistics, status check-ins and she made sure that we 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!

I will only ask Edelina to plan my events in the future. She created what I envisioned, handled every detail, and quickly resolve any challenges. She has a great relationship with wonderful vendors - have never seen such beautiful flowers. I 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.

HIRE EDELINA! I recently got married in DC and while I wanted to control most things, I knew I needed a coordinator to help me manage all the details. Edelina pays extreme attention to detail, and scheduled regular calls to see where I was at, 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.

Edelina was AMAZING! I just asked her to help out with the ceremony coordination, but she went above and beyond my expectations! She gave advice about certain things with the ceremony, she helped make sure all decor (for ceremony, cocktail hr & 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!

Edelina was the event coordinator for my son's wedding, and we could not have asked for a better, and smoother event. She is prompt, patient, responsive, and truly ensured that everything went according to plan that day. She considers all the small details at the rehearsal so everything went perfectly during the wedding. Thank you so much Edelina for making the wedding a truly flawless execution!

I truly could not have imagined our wedding planning process without Edelina. We hired her as our Day of Coordinator about 11 months ahead of our wedding, but she was so, so much more than that. She is incredibly responsive to emails, phone calls, 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!

Edelina was great in helping me find some miscellaneous vendors, but her real value came on the day of my wedding. Unbeknownst to us, the venue coordinator (i.e., the person in charge of the venue, not Edelina) had told the caterer to come two 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!

Initially, we were not sure if we wanted a planner at all, but in the end we decided to retain the services of a "day of planner" after several friends recommended it. We scoured the wedding sites and all paths led to Edelina. Deciding to hire 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.

Edelina and her team were amazing, they took care of everything. They put out and repacked pictures, set up the tables when caterer was running late, kept the wedding party on time and did everything else needed to have the wedding go smoothly 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.

Edelina helped us relax and enjoy our special day. We can't recommend her highly enough. We love how she has such a variety of service packages to choose from.

I can't begin to express how Edelina's experience, confidence, leadership and friendship led to an extraordinary wedding and reception that my guests will not soon forget. From my initial contact with Edelina I felt at ease because she certainly 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!

Working with Edelina was a great experience. She is exactly what you want in a wedding planner. She's organized! Throughout the entire process, she knew exactly what needed to get done and gave us clear, realistic advice about how to do it. 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!

I contacted Edelina to help me plan my daughter's wedding ceremony on short notice. Edelina was prompt to return my correspondence, answer all my questions and met with us in person to discuss our vision. Since we did not have a rehearsal 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.

Edelina was extremely helpful and invaluable with navigating a wedding on a budget. She was efficient with the planning and went beyond what we expected. From contacting venders for the best prices to making sure the wedding and reception was beautiful, we were so pleased with her services. Definitely a gem!

Edelina is a wonderful planner. She was the first vendor we booked, and we are so glad! She offers several flexible packages for all budgets, as well as depending on how much planning support you need. Edelina helped us find our venue, caterer, 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.

We are SO unbelievably grateful that we found Edelina to serve as our Day of Coordinator. She was invaluable to us and helped us more than we ever could have imagined! She met with us multiple times and stayed in constant contact with us throughout 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!

Edelina was by far the best wedding planner we could have hoped for. When we didn't know where to get something she had an answer or suggestion that helped us tremendously. We would gladly recommend her for any other couple looking to get assistance 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.

We hired Edelina to be the DOC for our 100-person, same-sex, church-hall, largely DIY wedding reception in September. We also hired several of her staff to set up the hall, receive food from the caterer and serve it buffet-style, arrange presentation 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!

Amazing! Trust her. She is hard working, smart and attentive. You can trust her fully to do an exceptional job and she truly cares!

Edelina did a wonderful job on my son's wedding. The grooms waned to handle the details themselves, but they didn't necessarily know what they didn't know. Edelina watched over them, counseled them and then was there on the "day of" to make sure the plan worked to a tee. The day was perfect and a lot of the credit goes to Edelina.

Edelina was communicative, organized, and focused without being overbearing. She was a pleasure to work with, and she made it easy for us to navigate both the planning and the wedding day.

I honestly don't know what we would have done without Edelina - she made our engaged lives SO much easier and you will not go wrong in hiring her. We initially hired Edelina for "reception only" day of coordination but she was so fabulous that 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.

When I met Edelina at a good friends wedding a year prior to our engagement I was blown away on how amazing and professional she was. When Stephen and I became engaged, we also quickly realized we had little knowledge of all the itty bitty details 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!

Edelina was great as our "day of" coordinator. I use quotes because she was much more than that. When we first met with her she had reviewed all of our vendor contracts and pointed out the details in each that she would need to confirm met the 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!

Edelina was so awesome!!! We only had her as a "Day of Coordinator", but she seemed to have been helping us the entire way! She answered any questions I had super quickly and had a large knowledge base of the little details that needed attending 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!!

Edelina is absolutely amazing! She is professional, organized, responsive, patient, and a fantastic negotiator (not to mention a sometime miracle worker). I can't imagine our wedding without her. She met with us several times and had a lot of great 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.

Having done some event planning before, at first I thought I could "go it alone" for my wedding. Two months before the date, I went into full panic mode, unable to make decisions and falling behind schedule. Fortunately, I then chose to hire Edelina. 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.

As our wedding planner, Edelina did a great job covering all logistical and coordination aspects of our big day. She has excellent experience and all the skills required to put together a big wedding. During the six months previous to our wedding, 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.

Edelina was there for us at every turn, helping us plan one of the most important days of our lives. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the planning process—she made it fun and alleviated our anxiety regarding the process. Attentive, creative, 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.

Event Details by Edelina made my son-in-law and daughter's dream wedding come true. Edelina saved us SO much money because she knows where the best deals are without sacrificing quality. Her attention to even the smallest details is incredible. 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.

Seamless -- that is how my guests described the wedding reception. It was a small gathering of family and friends (about 50). All I wanted on the day was not to have to worry about anything and focus on enjoying myself. Thanks to Edelina and 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!

The support that Edelina can provide you during your wedding planning is unparalleled. My wife and I were able to trust that each step of the way Edelina was two steps ahead of everything. With all of the different nuances that go into planning 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!

My wife and I met Edelina at a local bridal show last year. We had been researching wedding planners prior to the show and spoke with another at the show. Edelina stood out from the others and it was an easy decision to choose her as our wedding 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.

Background: We found Edelina at a time in our wedding planing where we had the venue and started selecting some vendors. She definitely steered us clear from one of the vendors (e.g. a cake baker that wanted a $50 deposit, but it wasn't going 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.

Edelina is great at communicating and answering any questions that you have. The staff arrived on time, did everything that they were asked, and even assisted in a few cases when the wedding planners were clueless. It was the most affordable 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!

I would highly recommend Event Details by Edelina for anyone who is looking for some extra help with their wedding (or any event!). My budget was tight and I couldn't afford to have help planning the entire wedding, but for the day of I needed 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!

I hired Edelina Rose, owner of Events by Edelina, to be my day-of wedding planner. Edelina helped make my wedding day just right. She was so helpful ahead of time, too. I really lucked out finding a wedding planner who was such a good fit. She 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!
