Where do I even begin? Delaney was, without any exaggeration, the reason our wedding day was everything we dreamed it would be. From the very first meeting to the last dance, she w...
as organized, thoughtful, and two steps ahead of everything. But what truly set her apart was how she handled the chaos. Between last-minute emergencies and problems we threw at her along the way, she took every single one in stride — calm, composed, and always with a solution ready before we even had time to panic. I never once had to go into bridezilla mode because Delaney genuinely had it handled. We could not have pulled off this wedding without her, full stop. If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, let this review be the thing that pushes you over the edge — and make sure that planner is Delaney!
Delaney and her team were a sheer joy to work with. She made the process of wedding coordination so easy and straightforward. She is organized and timely. She was open to discussio...
n and suggestions and listened to what we wanted and made a great effort to emulate our vision! Our wedding day went as smoothly as it did because Delaney and her team were on top of every second. 10/10 would recommend for any wedding day coordination needs :)
Delaney is absolutely INCREDIBLE to work with. From the beginning, she was always very receptive and willing to help, regardless of how silly I thought my questions were. As we app...
roached wedding month, she was so on top of making sure we had what we needed, that she was in touch with all vendors/ensured contracts and timelines were squared away, and was happy to provide recommendations for anything we may have missed in the meantime. On our wedding day, I don't even have words. She was given a short amount of time and made our venue an absolute DREAM. She was on top of the schedule but also allowed time and space for last minute things to make our day ours. There was not a single detail missed or step mistaken on her part and truly, if there were any hiccups, they never reached me or my husband. She made what could be a stressful day an absolute breeze and we owe a large part to her! If you're not using Delaney for your wedding, you are doing wayyy too much!
Delaney was the most important hire of our wedding! She adeptly handled and guided us through some time consuming and very tricky situations. her demeanor, overall presence, cheerf...
ulness and wisdom is priceless in what ended up becoming a very beautiful and memorable occasion. She saved us a ton of money with her practical advice, and words of wisdom. I cannot say enough about her, and thank her so much for a job very well done.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about my wedding planner, Delaney White!
From the very beginning, Delaney was incredibly professional, organized, and kind. I hired her so that...
my control-freak sister could relax and stay by my side without worrying about the details—and Delaney completely delivered on that request and exceeded all my expectations.
She was a calm, steady presence throughout the entire planning process. She really listened to what I wanted and made sure every detail was taken care of so I could fully enjoy my wedding day. Delaney joined us in choosing table setups, linens, and décor with the caterer, and she visited the venue with us so I could walk her through my vision. We also had multiple phone calls to go over timeline adjustments, updates, and every question I had along the way.
Delaney did not have an easy job with my wedding. Just six days before the big day, I was diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy. I was devastated—but Delaney was so thoughtful and supportive, and she truly helped me feel beautiful and confident. Then, on the day of the wedding, a severe summer storm rolled in, and a fallen tree trapped the groomsmen in their neighborhood—they couldn’t get out to reach the ceremony. I didn’t even find out about it until after the ceremony, because Delaney handled the situation so seamlessly. She stayed calm, cool, and completely in control, managing everything with grace and professionalism.
She worked closely with the venue staff to set up all the décor, including the aisle and wedding arch, and it turned out absolutely beautiful. Her attention to detail and dedication made all the difference.
Because of Delaney, I was able to be present, at ease, and truly soak in every moment of my wedding day. I am so incredibly grateful and would recommend her to any bride without hesitation.
I honestly can't find enough wonderful words to describe Delaney and her incredible company. My husband and I had the pleasure of working with her for a year and a half as we plann...
ed our wedding, and she transformed the entire experience into something that can be stressful to something truly seamless and fun! From the very beginning, we felt completely confident knowing she was on top of every detail, and her calm, organized presence gave us peace of mind throughout the process.
Delaney is not only exceptionally talented and creative, but she is also kind, attentive, and genuinely caring — she goes above and beyond for her clients in ways that truly touched us. Because of her dedication and efforts, our wedding day was nothing short of perfect; it exceeded all of our hopes and became a beautiful memory that we will cherish forever.
To say that our special day wouldn't have been the same without her and her team would be an understatement. Delaney made what could have been stressful into the most joyful, magical day of our lives, and we are forever grateful!
Words cannot describe how much my new husband and I appreciate Delaney. As a couple planning our wedding from a few states away, aside from how amazingly sweet and easy to talk to ...
Delaney is, she was so, incredibly helpful. Knowing we had her to email or text with any questions relieved so much stress. We asked for her recommendations for a lot of our vendors as well, and all of the people she recommended made our wedding day so perfect - cake, DJ, hair, all 10/10s.
Also as a couple that did a lot of DIYs and brought in a lot of our own decor to save some money, Delaney and her partner were the ones to set all of this up and she truly made my vision come to life. And whenever there were slight hiccups throughout the day (i.e. wind knocking over candles and flowers, wedding-crashers), she handled it all with such grace and ease.
I am so sad that our wedding is over, partially because I’m literally sad my time working with Delaney is done. If you are still searching for a wedding planner, Delaney is exactly who you should hire.
Thank you again for everything :)
Hiring Delaney was hands down the smartest decision we made for our wedding! She made sure every detail of our dream wedding came to life—all while celebrating her baby’s first bir...
thday, which is just a testament to her dedication and incredible work ethic.
Not only was her planning absolutely pristine, but she also kept us on budget in the most friendly and supportive way. She was always advocating for us, making sure we got the best vendors, the best deals, and, most importantly, the wedding we truly wanted. Throughout the entire process, she was organized, calm, and always one step ahead, making what could have been a stressful experience feel completely seamless.
If you’re on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, let me make it easy for you—book Delaney. It was the best decision we made, and I cannot recommend her highly enough!
Delaney made the wedding planning experience so much easier. She was always patient and flexible, helping eliminate a lot of potential stress while navigating all of the big parts ...
of the process as well as the finer details. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for assistance in planning their big day!
We cannot recommend Delaney enough! We chose her partial planning package for our Charlottesville wedding and were beyond impressed. From the start, Delaney's attention to detail, ...
excellent communication, and ability to simplify the planning process stood out. She is incredibly organized and knowledgeable, making what could have been an overwhelming experience feel manageable and even enjoyable.
On the wedding day, Delaney's calm and collected demeanor was a godsend. She seamlessly navigated approaching rain showers, keeping us informed and confident in every decision. When a few showers followed our ceremony, Delaney flawlessly transitioned our guests to the tent, coordinating everything outside with precision and grace.
Thanks to Delaney, our wedding day was beautiful and stress-free. We are so grateful for her dedication and expertise and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone planning their special day!
Delaney is absolutely amazing and we would recommend her and her business to all of our friends and family. We hired Delaney as our "day of coordinator" and our wedding would not h...
ave been the same without her. Her communication leading up to and on the wedding day was fantastic. She was on top of every detail! She made our wedding so much less stressful by anticipating problems and being available to tackle details at a moments notice. She truly went above and beyond!
We almost didn't get a coordinator, but about a month out from our big day we were overwhelmed and we didn't know how we were going to get to the big day, and we decided we needed ...
help. We managed to find Delaney and her team, and from our first meeting we felt the most comfortable with her. Her energy, confidence, and poise were exactly what we wanted to bring us over the finish line. Her rate was reasonable for all the services she offered, ESPECIALLY all the last minute vendor follow-ups and confirmations. When we had to make use of our rain plan, we knew everything was in good hands and Delaney would make sure everything changed over as it needed to be. Our day was easy, fun, and magical—we focused on getting married while Delaney handled everything else. This was one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning, and I recommend Delaney highly. My only regret is I wish we would have decided to hire a coordinator like her earlier!
Delaney made the wedding planning process easy as I was an extra stressed bride nearing the end of graduate school. She was extremely supportive of me and my husbands wishes for ou...
r wedding day and executed each detail better than we could have imagined. We almost 200 guests at our wedding - and her and her team went above and beyond to pull off our day seamlessly. We absolutely loved Events by Delaney, and could not recommend her more.
In February 2023, my husband and I saw my future DIL get very stressed-out regarding handling all of the details of the upcoming wedding in October, especially the weekend of the w...
edding. We decided that part of our wedding gift to them was to hire a Day of Wedding Planner for them. After interviewing several planners, my son and DIL chose Events by Delaney as their Day of Wedding Planner. What a great choice they made! Delaney is very professional and organized but also, down to earth and a joy to work with. I didn’t work with her much until I started stressing out about the rehearsal dinner. I wanted it to be a very special and happy event for my son and DIL… and I wanted to enjoy it and not worry about the preparations. (It was catered at the event location, so we had to worry about setting up, decorating, and just making sure everything ran smoothly.). So, a month before the wedding, I reached out to Delaney and asked her if she would have time to also handle the Rehearsal Dinner. Thank goodness she said yes! She took over right away…she contacted the vendors and worked with me to ensure the Rehearsal Dinner night went smoothly. She and her staff set up and decorated all the tables, dealt with the caterers, and then took down and packed everything up for us afterwards. It was a beautiful and stress-free night for all! On to the wedding day. Thanks to Delaney and her staff, the day went smoothly and my DIL and son enjoyed their magical day, instead of worrying about all of the details. I highly recommend Delaney! Give her a call! You won’t regret it! Thank you Delaney for all of your help!
Events by Delaney should without a doubt be the go-to wedding planner/coordinator for your wedding! My now-husband and I got married on October 21 in Baltimore, MD and Delaney made...
sure everything went flawlessly! We gave her quite the challenge with three different venues (photos, church, and reception) and transportation from three locations for 130 guests. Delaney and her team handled this challenge incredibly, with several guests complimenting us on the seamless flow of the day. If you are looking for a wedding planner in the DC metro area, you NEED to reach out to Events by Delaney!
Working with Delaney was by far the best decision we made for our wedding day! We were married on October 14th in VA and began working with Delaney a few months before to help with...
final organizing, contract details for vendors, timeline details, setting up and breaking down help, and all the little details that totally would have been missed without her! We had already had quite a bit planned before hiring her so we chose he month of coordination planning. This actually started a few months in advanced and covered everything we needed. My only regret was not having her start sooner!
As a fellow type A personality filled with organizing, planning, and timelines, I truly admired how detailed she was! All of my pre-hired vendors had nothing but rave reviews to say about Delaney and the timeline she helped up create. From our photographers and videographers who have been in the wedding game for years to our newer venue, everyone commented on how smoothly Delaney operated and how helpful she was!
Unfortunately we had some issues with our catering company, some of which I noted right away, and many I did not know until well after our honeymoon, thanks to Delaney. She has helped curate an email to express our concerns and has followed up with company regarding aspects of our contract that were not met. I firmly believe that had we hired Delaney to help vet our catering company we would not have those issues. However, we are so grateful we had her to help mitigate some of the chaos and assist in the additional clean up required since they left before bussing the tables.
I HIGHLY recommend having Delaney and her team join your wedding vendor team!
My husband and I had planned most of our wedding and about 2 months prior realized we had no idea what to do with timeline, how to arrange everyone to walk down the aisle, or even ...
who was going to make sure all of our personal items were accounted for at the end of the night. Cue Delaney. Delaney made sure everything I had even mentioned in passing was thought about and taken care of... down to picking up any missing items and making sure my iPad was put into my car. If anything had gone wrong that day, I definitely did not know about it; I noticed a table had been moved before our reception entrance and she promptly informed me why when we sat down for dinner (a non-issue, but I mentioned it, so she enlightened me). She is 100% our best and most important purchase we made for our wedding, and we were so lucky to have had her these last two months, but especially on our wedding day. She made our day completely stress-free and fun and was beside me every step of the way. I would get married again and again if Delaney was able to be there as it would be the most fun and stress-free experience. We recommend her and her team to anyone needing a wedding coordinator!!
I wish I could give 10/5 stars - I cannot give enough praise to Delaney! I was so overwhelmed with all the “to-do’s” that come along with weddings and bringing Delaney in was the b...
est decision and money spent - she instantly made me feel at ease and I was actually able to enjoy the “down to the wire” moments leading up to my wedding day. From our first meeting two months out, she far surpassed anything that my husband and I even anticipated! Delaney and her husband Corey are so sweet, so professional and went above and beyond to make our wedding day so special and stress free! They are a top notch team and there are not enough praises to sing for the two of them. There was literally not one detail missed thanks to her. I would sing praises to Events by Delaney to the moon and back!
I cannot say enough amazing things about Delaney. Working with her was the best decision I made while planning our wedding. She is a true professional – thorough, detail-oriented, ...
and a joy to work with. Leading up to the wedding and throughout the wedding weekend, she went above and beyond to make sure everything was beautifully executed. She puts her client before anything else, and diplomatically pushed to make sure I got what I wanted. I was able to relax and enjoy my wedding knowing she had anything and everything handled. I’m pretty particular so for her to be able to make me feel confident and at-ease is no small feat. I appreciated having her expertise, advice, and great taste throughout. Most importantly, Delaney keeps the real reason for the wedding front and center and it’s evident how deeply she cares about the people she works with. My family and friends still talk about how great she is. My only regret was not starting to work with her the moment we got engaged.
Alison and I are forever thankful for Delaney and the incredible help she provided us and our vendors before, during, and after our wedding ceremony. Our outdoor wedding took place...
at a private family residence in a rural setting, which meant we had to coordinate with a variety of independent vendors across a spectrum of services from catering and cakes to tent rentals, photographers, flowers, live music, hotel accommodations, on- and off-site transportation for more than 100 guests, and even booths for bourbon tasting and fresh oysters. Delaney guided us through every step of the process and, very importantly, was always the calm voice of reason and source of smart decisions when we needed it the most. Delaney was very hands on—for example, she offered several detailed mockup configurations for the seating, eating, and dancing portions of the event, and happily stretched tape measures around the sections of property to assess where and how to place the rental tents, which were critical to our contingency rain plan (thankfully, it didn’t rain). Delaney worked personally with every vendor to facilitate clear communications, set expectations, and articulate to everyone where, when, and how each aspect of the ceremony would proceed. Everything went perfectly. Early in our conversations, Alison said “I hope I don’t become a bridezilla” to which Delaney responded “I really don’t like the word ‘bridezilla.’ It’s just people who really want their wedding to be perfect. I totally understand that.” That empathy for the people and emotions involved in planning a wedding is what makes Delaney exception. We can’t thank her enough. Our wedding was perfect.
The perfect wedding all thanks to Delaney!
We hired Delaney for full planning services along with the rehearsal dinner planning add on, and boy were we completely glad we did. Once...
it was all over, we both underestimated how much work and an eye for detail planning a successfully wedding takes. Because of Delaney's hard work, we got to enjoy our engagement period to the fullest without having to lose all our weekends and evening trying to find vendors, making phone calls, and dealing with scheduling issues.
During the initial consultation she got to know us and was actually interested in helping us create the wedding day we wanted. Throughout the whole process she provided wonderful guidance on figuring out what was important for us the day of and how we could accomplish it all within budget. On rehearsal night she made sure everyone knew where to go, what to do, and when to leave. On the day of the wedding she made sure everything stayed on schedule and that any problems that occurred were handled before they even reached our ears. The end result of all her work was the best wedding any of our friends or family had been to, the best day of our lives, and not a single worry in the world.
