Hannah Rose Design

t fit within our budget. She was able to see my vision for what I wanted our day to look like clearly, and supported every decision. Hannah was prepared for anything and adapted to changes that needed to be made when things didn't go according to plan. Hannah was the most helpful to my family when one of my family members got unexpectedly sick the night before our wedding. Hannah made sure that my family member was there for all of the important parts of the reception and truly went above and beyond for us. I would recommend Hannah to anyone who is in need of a wedding planner in the Charlottesville, VA area.

us navigate all of the details from the smallest to the biggest, keeping us not only organized but also helping us to make Emma and Mason's wedding personal, beautiful and fun! Hannah met with us consistently, making certain we didn't miss any critical timeline dates and helped us plan everything in advance. As a result, we were able to relax and enjoy the month of the wedding that included cumulative finals for Emma and Christmas! Our friends and family couldn't believe how calm we were! Hannah and her team were not only present on wedding day, they were everywhere we needed them to be before we even knew we needed them there! They were there from early in the am until every item and bridesmaid was packed in our car after midnight! She came prepared for every possible scenario and her calm sweet nature and incredible organization made it possible for us to just enjoy the day! One of my favorite photos of the day is Hannah sitting on the floor cleaning my daughter's dress after photos (it was a rainy day). She worked until Emma could walk down the aisle without anyone knowing she had been outside. From day one, Hannah listened to Emma and Mason's vision for their wedding and then worked tirelessly for a year to make sure their vision came true. Some call her a wedding planner but I think "Fairy Godmother" might be more appropriate! Thank you Hannah!

ng date in the beginning of December in the same year. Right away, we knew were in good hands. She made the effort to really get to know us and what we like. The process of wedding planning seemed pretty daunting to me, but she made it easy. Planning with Hannah was smooth, fun, and enjoyable. I also tend to be quite forgetful, but I didn’t even have to worry about this because Hannah was there to remember everything for me and never made me feel like I was a burden. She is everything you could possibly want your wedding planner to be - organized, attentive, trustworthy, professional, meticulous, very honest, warm, and kind. She is quick to respond to emails, texts, and calls. She also seems to know everyone in the Charlottesville wedding business and has great relationships with rental companies, wedding entertainment services, officiants, venues, and more. She made great recommendations for us. Wedding day was the best day of our lives and everything was just so perfect and smooth. Everything blew us away and we both agreed one of our favorite parts was just how absolutely gorgeous our reception was. Somehow from just telling her a few of our ideas and sending a few inspiration pictures, she was able to make our dreams really come true. It’s so obvious she has a great eye and incredible design ideas and she always strives for perfection. You also can really tell how much she loves weddings and seeing everything come to life herself, and that joy is contagious. Hannah was always there when we needed her - including when I got awful orange mud all over my dress at our first look - she was on her hands and knees using club soda to get it out before I walked out to the ceremony. She got us drinks and snacks after our newlywed photos and was ready with wipes to get red wine off of me and my dress after a spill on the dance floor. Those are just a few examples of countless things she and her wonderful team did on wedding day to help us. She was always there for me, my husband, my maid of honor, my new in laws, and everyone else all day. No ask was too big or too small, and our families are still raving about her days later. Thank you does not even begin to feel like adequate enough words to describe our true appreciation for everything Hannah has done for us. My husband and I both easily agreed that the best decision we made was Hannah. We both feel like we gained a new friend in this process and will really miss her!

isions last minute. Additionally, due to my husband’s job, we chose a wedding date less than 10 months away. However, Hannah kept us extremely organized, worked with us to make a doable timeline, and kept track of all details, big or small. She made the wedding planning process completely stress-free and provided guidance every step of the way. Hannah knows everyone in Charlottesville and was super helpful with deciding vendors. Additionally, the vendors mentioned several times how excited they were to be a part of Hannah’s team. She also goes above and beyond in every way. The week of the wedding, even though it was also Thanksgiving week, Hannah was extremely responsive, was so encouraging, made us feel at ease, and assured us that everything was taken care of. On the wedding day, Hannah was absolute perfection! She is calm, organized, detailed, and attentive. From brining breakfast to the bridal suite, making sure everyone was on time, leaving drinks and snacks in the bridal/groom party bus, having hors d'oeuvre’s and signature cocktails ready as soon as we exited the bus, and so so much more. Throughout the entire night, Hannah was always one step ahead of our every need. When someone mistakenly spilled wine on their purse and jacket, Hannah was there the next second offering tide spot removal and helping to remove the stain. We had many people come up to us the next day asking for Hannah’s information because they said it was the most perfectly done wedding they had ever been too. Hannah is the best decision we made for our wedding. My entire family has said that Hannah felt like a part of the family throughout the entire process. I was really nervous for the wedding day, especially since I was living in Louisiana leading up to the wedding in Charlottesville, but Hannah always made me feel like everything was taken care of. I highly, highly recommend Hannah and I can’t thank her enough for everything she did to make the wedding day one of the best days of our life!

ing a timeline that worked for everyone, taking great care of me and my husband, our families and all of our guests, and just being a fabulous person to work with. She's super responsive and was always honest with us. We had a lot of questions surrounding the transportation to and from the venue to various hotels around the area and she was extremely thorough in keeping us up to date on details, running around to all of the hotels with information for them, and coordinating with drivers day of. When the big day came, all we had to do was hit play and enjoy the day. All the marks were hit. She brought every detail together so thoughtfully and really understood what we (as a couple) were all about. Literally, we could not have had the wedding of our dreams without her. Hiring Hannah was hands down the BEST decision we made in our entire wedding planning process.

recommends are some of the best and all know how to do their jobs very well. If you email, message, or call her you will hear back from her in no longer than a day, her response time is quick! Hannah overall knows her wedding details and what it takes to make a wedding run on time and smoothly. She doesn't leave anything up in the air and will be sure everything is taken care of and ready for your big day. Hannah is everything you ask for in a wedding planner and my husband and I couldn't have picked anyone better to help us plan our wedding! Thank you Hannah!

for almost everything. She knows the area, the best vendors, and has creative ideas for solving problems--especially for a wedding that was particularly full of random/difficult issues to navigate. I am going to miss talking to Hannah regularly. Booking her will be the best thing you do for your wedding!

le vendor booked and my fiancé says she probably saved our marriage before we were married lol!! She was extremely responsive and never left me waiting, no matter the time of day. Hannah became so much more than a wedding planner and coordinator, she turned into a sweet, lifelong friend. She puts her heart and soul into her work and you can feel the love she has for weddings every step of the way. Booking Hannah was the best decision my husband and I made in our wedding planning process— thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything!!!

lived a great distance from the venue. I could not recommend her more highly!

nd general attitude towards planning our wedding weekend absolutely could not have been matched. Hannah worked exceptionally hard to help me understand the wedding industry and recommended vendors who consistently exceeded expectations. In addition, I really felt like Hannah listened to us- she took the time to understand what was important to us during our wedding weekend and made sure the whole celebration was a perfect reflection of us as people and as a couple! I highly recommend hiring Hannah as your planner; dollar for dollar she was far and away the best money I spent during this whole process, and I am so lucky to have met her and benefited from her expertise, professionalism, and guidance.

winner on your hands! You would want someone like Hannah with you before and during the event, she will be your rock and the knight in shining armor! Highly recommend!

offered us monthly meetings. On the wedding day, Hannah was a god-send! She is the perfect combination of calm and assertive which necessary on a busy and chaotic wedding day. Hannah went above and beyond for us; including bringing brunch/lunch from Wegmans to the bridal party house. If we looked for a drink at the wedding, Hannah was there with two already in her hands. She worked so well with all of the vendors which took a lot of pressure off of us. Hannah had a wedding day itinerary for us so we knew exactly what to expect going into it. If you are considering Hannah for your wedding planning, choose her! She was absolutely worth every penny.

to your specific preferences and requirements, and responsive to your questions and needs. Her connections with the local vendor community are exceptional and will help ensure an unforgettable experience for your family, friends, and guests. Hannah's talent really shone through on our wedding day with an incredibly smooth itinerary flow, clear instructions for us and the wedding party, and unobtrusive command of vendor operations. Many of our guests suggested it was the best wedding they've ever attended. Hannah is first-class, and her results and ratings speak for themselves.

ry that we were missing some crucial detail or vendor. Hannah worked with us as much as we needed leading up to the wedding. The day of she was a take charge, amazing boss. She knew what we needed before we did and was a rock, even when our buses got lost and most of our guests arrived a half hour late. We don’t know what we would have done without Hannah. We not only cherish her as a wedding planner but see her as a friend now! We adore Hannah and would highly recommend her.

y planned for May 2020, but we postponed twice because of COVID. Hannah helped us navigate re-scheduling our venue and vendors (twice!) all within a matter of hours each time. She was incredibly patient and flexible in the process, and was able to re-book all of our original vendors and venue for our new date. She somehow managed to keep us calm and sane during the stressful process! Hannah has strong relationships with and knowledge of Charlottesville wedding vendors. During our early conversations with her, she recommended several vendors for each category (photographers, florists, etc.) who would fit our budget and priorities for our wedding. It is a testament to her knowledge of and relationships with the Charlottesville community that we adored each and every one of our vendors and felt that they fit with exactly what we wanted for our wedding. Without fail, each time we interviewed a potential vendor, they praised our choice in hiring Hannah and expressed their excitement to work with her. Hannah also has beautiful design vision and taste. She listened to what we wanted and executed it flawlessly--infusing her own expertise and elegance. The result was simply stunning. She made excellent recommendations for rentals, florals, and other decor that complimented our venue and fit in with our style. Perhaps most importantly, the wedding day flowed seamlessly. Hannah planned our detailed timeline in the months leading up to our wedding and answered every question we had about the order of events and timing. On the day of the wedding, she made sure everyone was where they needed to be at the right time and kept everything in order. She was so calm, happy, and excited for us --- her demeanor calmed my nerves and allowed me to focus on the joy of the occasion. I know that she was working so hard behind the scenes so that we could enjoy ourselves and spend time with our guests. I had the best time because I knew everything was taken care of and proceeding as it should. It was truly a magical day and I will forever be grateful to Hannah for that.

picked up the food for the bridal brunch and delivered it to our house on the property at Mount Ida. That was an amazing time saver. She has great contacts with vendors and really knows her business. I would highly reccommend her services.

to create our vision, and securing the hundreds of final details. Day of, everything went smoother than we could have imagined. Hannah made sure the ceremony and reception locations were set up to a tee, kept everything moving on time, and made sure all team members knew where to be. I was especially impressed when I found out my dress had not been bustled properly by the seamstress, so instead of having it drag along the floor all night, Hannah was on her knees creating a new bustle out of safety pins that ended up looking gorgeous. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding coordinator and were so grateful for Hannah!

in the area made for the perfect vendor team for our wedding day to make our vision come to light. Her attention to detail and organization made our wedding day truly magical and went exactly according to plan. We could not have done this without her, highly recommend as planner for your wedding!

away that Hannah truly has a gift for providing couples with the most amazing and magical wedding days. Our small wedding was so special and we could not have done it without her!

cheduled our entire vendor team within a single day, TWICE (due to the venue’s scheduling error). Our wedding day was perfect because Hannah handled every bump in the road with grace and ensured we had the best day (which we did!) Multiple guests have subsequently told us that it was the best-run wedding they had ever been to. During the wedding planning process, Hannah is extremely organized, knowledgeable, patient, and thoughtful. She has answers for every question (we had a lot!) and was an absolute pro in the vendor selection process. She has relationships with nearly every vendor we suggested, and all were excited to work with Hannah again. She provided options for every aspect of our wedding and was able to help us stay within budget. Most importantly, she was honest about where we should splurge vs. save and even gave us creative recommendations items like decor and flowers. She also knew what we should add to keep our guests happy, having fun, and well fed! Despite the covid-created chaos of Spring 2020, Hannah seamlessly re-scheduled our wedding without losing a single vendor, performing a huge lift while keeping us (relatively!) stress-free. She was prepared for any personality concerns, and had solutions ready even before we asked. For example, we had a concern about a wedding guest attempting to make an unwelcome speech, and Hannah had already discussed a plan with the microphone operator. She was consistently mindful of our budget, and made cost-focused recommendations thoughtfully and tactfully. For example, when the father of the bride wanted to splurge on one specific table cloth selection, she smartly show-cased the fabric on a few tables in key locations to stay within the budget. Throughout the whole process, she was always available and consistently put us at ease. Hannah is an absolute pro during the wedding weekend. She is always present but never intrusive, and never gets flustered. On our wedding day, multiple parts of our wedding party ran late, but she was able to re-arrange the schedule on the fly so that we got every picture we wanted and no events were delayed. The wedding was perfectly staffed — guests told us they were shocked to never wait in line! She is also highly attentive to the bride and groom during the wedding reception. When we walked into cocktail hour she met us with a sample of all the apps and our favorite drinks! We sat down at our table for dinner and she appeared immediately with full plates of food! She even had the kitchen make us a specific appetizer that we loved during the tasting, but didn’t select because it didn’t fit with the menu. When the bride’s veil and hairstyle were falling out, she was ready with extra bobby pins. A wedding day involves enough moving pieces to be overwhelming, but Hannah kept us stress-free and able to really enjoy our special day. We will forever remember it as one of the best days of our lives, thanks to Hannah! We would enthusiastically recommend Hannah to any couple planning a wedding!

tant throughout our planning process (after having terrible experiences with the other planners who came with venue #1) and one of the most reliable, knowledgeable people you could have on your side. She is proactive, kind and hard working. She thinks of every little detail and is organized throughout it all, keeping track of all of vendors, to-do list and helping contact people who were hard to track down. Although she is juggling many wedding planning tasks for others at once, she made us feel prioritized and special and I'm sure other couples she worked with simultaneously felt the same. We could not have planned everything without her!! She went above and beyond for us.

loved our experience with her, and she’s also super nice and a wonderful human. I wish I could give her more stars!!!

with our difficult schedules to meet regularly in the months leading up to the wedding. She helped us answer questions we didn't know we needed to ask. She was an incredible resource throughout the year leading up to the wedding as well as the wedding day. She took so much off my plate so that day-of, I got to enjoy our reception as much as our guests. I felt so at-ease knowing we had her there behind the scenes orchestrating everything. As a type-A micromanager, I felt like I could fully relax with the wedding plans in her hands. HIRE HER. You won't regret it!

focus, it became clear we didn't know how much we didn't know. Choosing Hannah was one of the best decisions we made. My first 'wow' moment was in our first phone conversation. Since we were getting ready in one location, having the ceremony in another, and the reception at yet another, there was a fair amount of transportation involved. Before we contacted Hannah, my then-fiancé Sarah and I had several conversations, amounting to hours of time, about how we were going to coordinate the busses. Within a few minutes of bringing it up with Hannah, she had a plan and said she would take on coordinating the busses day-of. Following conversations and interactions were just as helpful. She answered questions we didn't know we needed answering. She was proactive, organized, and diligent. She has an amazingly graceful way of offering suggestions about how to do things while also making sure your vision and direction takes priority. She is a calming presence at all times, even when we hit speed bumps along the way. When we had a hiccup with our ceremony location, we texted her just to let her know we had to do something a little differently. Even though it was late at night, she gave a quick call just to see what she could do on her end. Sarah and I can't recommend Hannah enough!

our day. Hannah was such a fun and active collaborator in designing the overall experience of the event, from furniture to food and all the tiny details in between. She helped me create an experience that felt authentic and true to me, which is so important at the end of the day. Hannah has such a calming and confident presence, and that’s exactly the kind of grounding energy you want throughout the process and on the big day. She was actively working in the background to facilitate conversations with all my vendors and involved me when needed. The wedding day was incredible because it honestly felt like putting on an event with friends at that point because I really trusted her that much. We heard from many guests how wonderful our planner was and how on top of things she was. I’ll never forget walking down the ceremony aisle only to be greeted by Hannah, waiting for us with cocktails and appetizers! My husband and I loved working with Hannah and could not recommend her more!!
