Iconic Events truly lives up to their name!
We had the pleasure of working with Laura and Bobbie for day-of wedding coordination, and they exceeded every expectation. From seamless communication with our incredible vendors to offering support and reassurance to the bride and groom, their professionalism and warmth made all the difference.
Whether you're planning a small, intimate gathering or a large celebration, Iconic Events is the team you want by your side. They ensure everything runs smoothly and effortlessly coordinate with your vendors to create a flawless experience from start to finish.
We were grateful to have Laura as our month-of wedding coordinator. She was efficient, calm, and organized. We appreciated her attention to detail and her quick responses to our questions. Because of Laura, our wedding day was flawless. Multiple guests even commented on how hardworking and attentive Laura was throughout the day, which speaks volumes about her dedication and professionalism. I highly recommend Laura and Iconic Events!
We needed a day-of wedding coordinator for our Indian wedding, and Laura was absolutely incredible to work with! She was familiar with our venue and ensured that every detail of our special day was executed flawlessly.
Laura started working with us a couple of months before the wedding and was extremely helpful in setting up vendor meetings and addressing details we hadn’t even thought of. She also assisted with the setup and breakdown of our Sangeet, and she did an excellent job there as well.
Her vendor recommendations were spot-on, and she was incredibly organized and responsive throughout the entire process. I cannot recommend Laura enough, especially if you’re planning an Indian wedding like we did. She was an essential part of making our day truly unforgettable!
Laura was recommended by a couple of our friends and now we cannot recommend Laura enough! From the moment we started working with her, it was clear she is a true professional and an absolute joy to work with. Her communication skills are impeccable—she was always responsive and made sure we felt heard throughout the entire planning process (especially since we had a destination wedding in Cancun & had to work with their on-site coordinator)!
Laura took the time to truly understand our vision, and she brought it to life in ways we couldn’t have even imagined. She was incredibly organized, ensuring every detail was accounted for, and her meticulous planning made our wedding day completely stress-free.
What really stood out was how she managed to make the entire process enjoyable. Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but Laura’s positive energy, problem-solving skills, and creative ideas made it such a fun experience. Whether it was handling vendor coordination, managing timelines, or ensuring every little detail was perfect on the big day, Laura went above and beyond.
Our wedding was truly a dream come true, and so much of that is thanks to Laura. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who is organized, communicative, and genuinely cares about making your day special, she is the one! Thank you, Laura, for making our wedding unforgettable!

Iconic Events, LLC truly came in to save the day and I would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.
Bahareh was outstanding, really could not have done this day without her. Day of the wedding we could not have asked for someone better.
To be clear, this was a south Asian wedding taking place 8 AM and reception ending at 11 PM.
So anyone that understands how busy and hectic that can be, is a true testament to the paramount professionals Bahareh and team were.

Laura and her team at Iconic Events are simply the best!! Laura was on top of everything and made everything so effortless for us throughout the entire process. We couldn't have asked for a better coordinator for our wedding. Laura is very experienced in the wedding industry, and you can really count on her to make sure your wedding day is not only beautiful but also flawless. She had our best interest and really took care of us. Any questions we had, she was very quick to answer and provided suggestions and guidance. Her upbeat and happy demeanor provided great relief when we would email, text or call her over a concern, and she would always assure us that it would work out. We were having a hard time finding vendors (hair and makeup, DJ, florist, etc.) and thank goodness Laura had a list of wonderful vendors to work with. Since she vouched for them, you know you’re not only getting the best but also the best pricing. On the wedding day, Laura and her assistant were running around setting up the decorations and making sure everything was prepared appropriately since we had two venues. She took charge of setting everything up based on our very minimal conversation, but it turned out BEAUTIFULLY! The day ran perfectly. If there was any hiccups, we wouldn’t have known since everything was seamless. Her team went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations. Our family and friends kept telling us how impressed they were with Laura in how well she handled everything. We cannot recommend Laura enough for anyone planning their wedding. We honestly could not have planned a wedding this smoothly without her and her team. Thank you for making our wedding day so special and beautiful! We greatly appreciate everything you did for us.
Laura from Iconic Events was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. Her attention to detail is incredible, and she’s always calm, cool, and collected, even when things get a little crazy. From start to finish, she was our go-to person for everything and made sure our wedding day was absolutely perfect.
We loved that she wasn’t afraid to give us her honest opinion and then follow up with lots of options. She’s well connected in the wedding world, so she was able to hook us up with some amazing vendors at great prices. We couldn’t have done it without her! The single best decision you can make for your wedding planning is to work with Laura and Iconic Events.
We should have hired her sooner!!
We hired Laura a little less than two months before the wedding. After our first meeting I felt my anxiety about the wedding instantly lifted. You can tell she has a lot of experience because she has tons of tips and tricks for every step of the process and I wish we had this knowledge a lot sooner. Laura is extremely organized and prepared and she will make sure you are too.
Laura is an advocate and that’s one of the biggest reasons I appreciated her! She will go toe to toe with the vendors/vultures who try to suck every penny from you along the way. She will make sure you get exactly what you want and make sure you get the most for your money.
The wedding turned out amazing. Our guests were very impressed and so were we. Laura and her assistant took charge which allowed me and my husband to enjoy the day with our friends and family.
We will definitely hire her again and recommend her to all our friends!!
Thank you for everything, Laura! You killed it!
Laura was the best vendor we hired and I am so thankful we did. Laura was there with us every step of the way to answer questions and guide us through the complexities of planning. I loved working with Iconic Events because of how organized they are. She is so calm, bright and upbeat! As two full time working parents, it was wonderful to have her help to put on our wedding at the museum.
Laura is dependable and organized. She saved us so much energy and headaches by coordinating with vendors, scheduling, providing suggestions on services to use, and organizing the moving pieces of the event. She consistently communicated with us whether it was a phone call, text, video call, email or in person which made me feel taken care of. If I had any questions at all she would be sure to answer them gladly. We had many questions regarding decisions: colors of florals, linens, table set up, you name it. She went above and beyond!
Laura and her assistant were there on our wedding day and they handled absolutely everything from decoration setup to vendor coordination. Our families and wedding party got to have fun and enjoy the day.
I cannot thank Laura enough for making our wedding planning experience and our wedding day easy and fun! She gladly reassured me when I was worried and helped me focus on the important tasks. Laura has an innate ability to read people and situations very well. This characteristic is something that cannot be taught so to have this in a wedding planner was priceless. Laura’s attention to detail, organization, communication, proactivity, and commitment are unmatched. Laura is extremely personable, reliable, and really advocates for her clients. She takes the time to understand what is meaningful to us on our big day.
I would highly recommend anyone planning a wedding to use Iconic Events. This was truly worth the investment! Our Friends and Family were impressed. They had so much fun and loved the surprises that we provided throughout the night.
Laura is very reliable and so responsible! She made our wedding day stress free. Our wedding was seamless and even with a rainy day, Laura took initiative in coming up with a plan B and executed it beautifully! She took care of us and made sure we were being fed throughout the day. I would recommend her 100%!
Laura and the team at Iconic Events are absolutely amazing. She helped me through the process leading up to the wedding with her month of coordination services and completely calmed my anxieties. She is very organized and great to work with. When I walked into the reception hall for the first time on the big day I had happy tears because she helped make it everything I had dreamed of and more. I definitely recommend Laura and Iconic Events.
Laura and her team helped make our wedding a total success! We booked her Month Of / Day Of Coordination Package at Blue Valley Vineyard for October 2022.
In the months prior to the wedding, Laura was incredibly helpful in providing contacts for vendors like cake bakery, DJ, hair and makeup, and even post-wedding dress cleaning. All our vendors executed extremely well leading up to and during the wedding, and we would not have found them otherwise. Having her expertise at-hand was so helpful during the craziness of wedding planning.
During the week of the wedding and on the day, Laura's team made it feel seamless. There were some minor issues that came up during the wedding, but her team handled them elegantly, which made it possible for us to enjoy our wedding. Her team went above and beyond, even helping with decor set-up and breakdown, despite those explicitly being listed as things not included in our package. Overall, it was a wonderful to work with Laura and her team, and made our wedding that much smoother and more memorable.
We would highly recommend Iconic Events to anyone planning an event or wedding in the future!
Laura was our month of coordinator and I couldn't be more thankful to have her by my side on wedding day! She was responsive and helpful during the planning process. I envisioned an ambitious timeline and she worked with me to include everything I wanted. On the day of, Laura and Jennette worked tirelessly to ensure the day moved smoothly. They set up all the decorations so beautifully and packed it all up at the end of the night. I had zero sense of time and they guided me and our wedding party and followed the timeline to the minute. I honestly wouldn't have made it through the night without them. I didn't have to worry about a thing! I absolutely recommend Laura and her team and would choose them over and over again if I could! Thank you so much and we love y'all!! <3
Laura and her team was amazing to work with. We hired Laura to be our month of coordinator and we really could not have done it without her! From the walk through to the day of the wedding, Laura was able to help us navigate and take the weight off our shoulders as we were getting stressed out with the day coming closer. We were able to get in touch with her quickly and efficiently. She also knew many of the vendors we had booked already so it was easy to get in contact with them. Not only that, she was able to recommend other vendors to us that we needed to book for our day. On the day of the wedding, Laura and her assistant Jennette made sure everything looked great and helped come up with solutions to problems as they came. For example, our cake toppers wouldn't stay on the cake so Jennette found a way to keep the toppers standing without toppling over. I would recommend this team to any future couple who is planning their wedding! Thank you so much again for allowing our dream day to come together!
From start to finish we had so much fun and made our wedding planning and day stress free because of Laura! Recommend her 100%!!!!! She genuinely cares that the big day goes perfectly and doesn’t miss out on ANY details. The BEST ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Can’t wait to have another event so we can hire her again!! Recommending to everyone :) thank you again Laura! Our wedding day was PERFECT thanks to you!
Wow - where do I begin?! Laura is absolutely amazing and on top of her game. I honestly don’t know how we could have planned this wedding without her. She was truly our support system through the entire process. From finding the perfect venue to finding all our amazing vendors. She knew exactly what we were looking for and executed it perfectly. She knew how to work with our budget for all our vendors and found the perfect fits that went along with our style of wedding. She stayed on top of us to make sure we made all our choices within the needed timeline. Any questions we had she answered quickly and always made herself available when needed. We knew right away with the quality of service we were getting pre - wedding , that our actual wedding would be cared for with the same quality. We were not let down. The day of our wedding, our only worries was getting ready in time. We had a couple of hiccups the day of - and Laura handled it with such class. She brought an assistant along with her to help and was just as amazing. All we did was purchase/rent all the decor for the wedding and Laura set it all up with just references from photos and through conversations of how we wanted our wedding to look. It was BREATH TAKING! We were so amazed when we saw everything for the first time and our guests all felt the same. I honestly can’t say enough great things about the quality of service we received. We were in such great hands and we couldn’t be more thankful. If you want your wedding and wedding planning to be fun, beautiful, and without all the unnecessary stress - absolutely go with Laura at Iconic Events!!
Laura, you are truly amazing and we are so grateful and thankful we had you as our wedding planner. Thank you SO much for everything.
Laura Kim with Iconic Events is a BOSS. We first met with her in Dec 2019 (with a planned wedding for Aug 2020- later postponed for August 2021). I immediately knew she would be able to help us pull off our multi-venue wedding. We hired her to be our day of coordinator. She was so willing to help answer tons of questions months before the event, even though her contract was only for the 6 weeks before the wedding. We had a traditional Hindu ceremony and she knew all of the ins and outs of big Indian weddings; she knew all of the right questions to ask and could anticipate our needs before we even could. She gave us excellent recommendations on vendors as she has a wealth of experience with the industry. She had everything taken care of and needed very little from me in the days leading up to the event. On the day of, she ensured everything moved seamlessly. There were a few hiccups including inclement weather planning and delays that she handled on our behalf. I don’t know how we could’ve pulled this off without her! I would 100% hire her again!
Communication leading up to our wedding was stellar, but the day fell short of our expectations, unfortunately. I wont even pretend to know the amount of details that did go right vs what went wrong, and quite honestly, paying for a service such as "Day of Coordination" is supposed to be for that exact reason.
Unfortunately, both my wife and I noticed things that went wrong on our day. For example, I noticed that the lawn games and large s'mores buffet that I built by hand were never taken out during the cocktail hour. I dedicated so much time building these for my loved ones to enjoy and they never got to.
We also had boxes of unused liquor and mixers sitting exactly where we were told to leave them ALONG with the instructions on how to prepare them, thus our signature drinks were NOT made during the whole event and cost us literally hundreds of wasted dollars.
There were boxes of fresh greenery garland that we ordered to be put up on agreed upon spaces that were left unused in the box in which it was stored, strewn in the secret garden - again, wasted $$$. Several of our bridal court pictures actually are ruined because this box is very visible in the background and cannot be photoshopped out.
Thankfully, none of our guest knew any of these things were not done because overall, the venue was stunning on its own, the food was immaculate, the cake was divine, and the party was memorable! So I know a LOT went well!
But, we knew. And as such I removed 2 stars for execution and lack of communication the day of. I'm certain this was an isolated incident, but one both my wife and I think about any time I think of our wedding day.
Laura and Nikki were a pleasure to work with as our wedding coordinators. They were flexible, accommodating and professional throughout the entire process even with multiple changes due to COVID. They really took away a lot of stress during the planning and day of by coordinating with all our vendors, developing the schedule and having everything run smoothly on our wedding day. Thank you for making our wedding day special!
Nikki really made our wedding amazing and so enjoyable. She was organized and kept the wedding on track in regards to our timeline for the night. She worked with the other vendors to ensure we enjoyed the night. We went with the gold package. The caterers even came out after the wedding during cocktail hour to make sure my husband and I got to try the cocktail hour appetizers. It was a perfect day.
We chose wisely with Poplar Springs and Iconic Events. The food choices were all superb, the staff set everything up without a hitch just as we hoped, the music was excellent, and having rooms available right on site made it convenient for everyone. The staff executed the phases of the reception so we could all enjoy the celebration. Everyone had a great time and we received multiple compliments on the lovely venue, the tasty food (both quality and quantity), the music, and the rooms. If I had to do it all over again, I'd do it all over again at Poplar Springs and Iconic Events.

Raspberry Plain Manor is an ABSOLUTELY STUNNING VENUE! The venue was perfect for our wedding. The staff was great, especially our wedding coordinator from Iconic Events Nikki Tran! She really helped make our wedding vision come true, and took care of everything on the day of! The entire day was stress free and everyone was so easy to communicate with leading up to the wedding day. Any change or update we had was accommodated right away. We had around 150 guests and fit comfortably, including a large band and dance floor area! We used the on-site catering company, Gala Cuisine, and people are still raving about our pasta station! I would definitely recommend this venue and planning service to anyone!
Foxchase Manor was the most perfect venue....spacious, beautiful surroundings, ample parking, and so organized and flexible. Laura Kim and Hellen Barker with Iconic Events were unbelievably amazing. Laura took care of every detail, always with a smile, and made everything look easy. If there was a glitch, we couldn't tell because she was always prepared with an alternative idea or plan!! And keep in mind we had over 400 guests. The pre-event planning day was key and so fun. It was that day I realized, ok there really is nothing to worry about, and I was right. She had fantastic ideas and made our ideas shine even brighter. Her team was equally amazing on the day of. Great team! Hellen was so helpful and accommodating with the menu tasting and planning. The food (from the south asian menus) was fantastic, guests are still raving. I had so many ask who catered the food. I could go on with every detail.Read Less
We wanted to write a review on our experience with Nikki Tran at Raspberry Plain Manor; she was our DOC for our wedding this past May. We give Nikki so much credit to the success of our wedding, she was not only well-organized throughout the process (months leading up to the wedding) but also very kind and supportive working through our questions, day of planning, last minute thoughts, and giving me the right energy to comfort my wedding day jitters and nerves. It was a real pleasure working with Nikki and the team at Raspberry Plain Manor, everyone was very accommodating, timely, professional, and on top of their work. During the cocktail hour, a few drops of red wine fell on my dress from an embrace with a family member, one of the workers there helped me immediately get the stain out and let me carry on without hesitation. Everyone was fantastic. Nikki helped us fine tune all the details to our wedding and helped to make sure it went to plan as we organized. She assisted with the vendors when we were too tied up to connect and helped transition our guests from ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and sparkler send off. She was also helpful after the wedding with connecting in and making sure we had everything that we brought. One can really appreciate this professionalism in a time where it can be a rare occurrence, and during the wedding this is exactly want we needed and wished for. We cannot speak more highly of the staff, team, and especially Nikki. Our wedding went perfectly because of everyone there, and we thank them for making our vision come to life.
At first we booked Iconic Events because they were in the in-house coordinator through our venue, Raspberry Plain Manor (which was the PERFECT location for our spring wedding!) But as soon as we started working with Laura Kim, we knew we had found the right coordinator for us! She was a pleasure to work with from start to finish! Everything was laid out online for us to communicate (which was extremely convenient since we were planning a VA wedding from TX!) but she was also available by call/email/text! Anything we had questions/concerns about, she addressed with professionalism, kindness, patience, and all quickly and efficiently! We could tell she wanted to make our day beautiful and as stress-free as possible! And that is exactly what it was! Walking into the space at Raspberry Plain, we were thrilled at how she and our florist worked together to create the most beautiful venue for our big day! My family was also extremely thankful for how efficient clean up was at the end of the night! Laura and the team at Raspberry Plain had everything boxed and ready to go so they could go continue partying the night away! Words cannot describe how incredible our day was and the backdrop of Raspberry Plain Manor was a dream!
When we booked at Raspberry Plain Manor and booked with Iconic Events - My husband Ryan and I did not realize at first how we were so lucky to have Iconic Events by our side. I work in the wedding industry myself and I know how crazy things can get. We Had Nikki to work with and she always went above and beyond. The wedding party even complimented how great of a job she did. Nikki is very easy to talk to, and will do everything in her power to make sure your day is perfect. She has lots of spreadsheets to make everything organized. I had multiple health issues throughout the planning and honestly without Nikki and the Iconic Events team there was no way our wedding would of been as perfect as it was. After being so sick and all the planning I just wanted to let go dance, party, and celebrate with our family and friends. Which clearly happened and it was an amazing time. Nikki was so great she even texted me the next morning to make sure all was good. I always appreciate people in the wedding industry that work hard to make your special day go smooth. I know I was not the easy laid back bride, as I knew how weddings can get way behind, and stuff go wrong. Nikki did no let that happen. She got me to relax, and have a great time. Nikki helped pull off our surprise of having our favorite CAPS mascot to surprise the guests! Ryan still today talks about how amazed he was with all that she did and that she was worth every penny and more! Thank you for everything Nikki and Iconic Events! You all ROCK!
Getting married as Raspberry Plain was a dream. I cannot thank our coordinator, Caitlin Chitty, enough! She made sure the evening ran so smoothly, I feel like I did not even need to put an extra thought in to anything other than enjoying the night. She was so much fun to work with and provided great advice leading up to the big day. I would 100% recommend her to any bride.
My wife Tiffany and I had our wedding ceremony and reception both at Raspberry Plains in March 2019. It was everything we had imagined plus more. Our coordinator, Laura Kim, was tremendous throughout the whole planning process and had made sure that our special day would turn out wonderful! We literally did not have to worry about a single thing, her organizational skills was superb whether it was ensuring our vendors were on time, setting up the ceremony/reception, food service, managing guests, guiding us throughout the rehearsal, etc. We are very thankful for Laura and all the staff who contributed to make this day a very memorable one and highly recommend checking this venue and hiring Laura as your wedding coordinator! Thank you so much Iconic events for allowing us to experience hands down the best wedding ever!
Laura Kim, our day of coordinator, was so responsive and did such a great job to make sure everything ran smoothly the day of the wedding and the days leading up to it. She remained calm and flexible whenever minor issues came up and she was definitely willing to work with us whenever we wanted to make any changes, including changing the layout of the reception room. What an awesome wedding coordinator to have!!
GET A LAURA!
Laura was great. She took most of the stress and concerns about our wedding and shouldered them, so we wouldn’t have to. She kept the day moving from event to event and kept time, so it wasn’t our job. The bottom line is we paid $1500 for Laura to manage our vendors, give us peace of mind and to handle all the stress of our wedding day.
There was a great moment where she found out we did not have champagne to toast and instead of removing the champagne glasses, she managed to find some sparkling cider and used that for our toasting.
Case in point: Laura did a great job and was well worth the money. Get a Laura!
Laura has been an eventful planner for our wedding! She did a great job all the way. Everything in our wedding ran smoothly and with her help we’re almost stress-free. It’s our pleasure to hire her for planning. Thank you for giving us this magical experience and make it the best day in our lives.
Laura made the process of planning and executing my dream wedding a reality! She was helpful, responsive and understood how to make my wedding MAGICAL! The day of the wedding she made so simple setting up the details exactly as I imagined, making sure not one detail was missed or left out, making sure we had exactly what we needed at all times and that not only we were happy but the guests. I think I am the only one of my friends that can say "I actually got to taste the food at my own wedding", all thanks to Laura for making sure we enjoyed not only the food but the signature cocktails and cake! Once the wedding was all said and done she made sure that everything we brought was packed up a neatly and carefully as we brought it and made sure it was easy to take home. I do not know what we would have done without her!
Laura went above and beyond our expectations. I really don’t know what we would’ve have done without her. I firmly believe that our wedding day was a huge success due to her hard work, her amazing coordination, professionalism, and she was just really fun to work with. Everything turned out beautifully. She contacted all of our vendors and kept everything on schedule. She made sure we were ready to go on our big day with the least amount of stress possible. She was very responsive when we had questions, no matter what time of the day or type of question we asked. She catered to our every need, no matter how big or small. Some of my guest have already asked for her information so they can reach out to her in the future. I highly recommend her services!
Erin Avery from Iconic Events was absolutely fantastic! She planned our wedding at Raspberry Plain Manor, which turned out to be everything we hoped for and more. Erin is a meticulous planner, is very detail-oriented, and never became overwhelmed with all the tasks. I don’t know how she kept track of it all, but it all came together that day. She implemented our vision of a perfect day and graciously guided us through the challenges of hosting so many people on such an important occasion. We highly recommend Erin for event planning.
I never thought I would be one to write a review for a vendor/wedding venue- but I truly had the wedding of my dreams due to the amazing staff- especially my day-of wedding coordinator - Erin Avery. SHE WAS AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!! Their attention to detail, availability to answer my questions any time i called or emailed-they were everything i could want from a wedding venue/event business and more! My wedding wouldn't have been the same without the amazing venue of Raspberry Plain Manor and the AMAZING STAFF! I CAN'T THANK THEM ENOUGH!!!
My husband and I got married at Raspberry Plain Manor on 10.28.17 and we cannot say enough great things about working with Laura Kim. She was amazingly helpful from the beginning of the process and coordinating our vendor appointments, up until the day of the wedding. We got so many compliments on how well the wedding flowed, and how everything was right on time. That was all thanks to Laura. She always responded very quickly to our endless questions, and always made herself available when we needed to stop by the venue, even if she was not planning to be there at the time. Overall, we do not have anything but wonderful things to say about Laura and her team. We would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding!
Laura was our coordinator for our wedding at Raspberry Plain Manor last month. I just have to say that she was a godsend. I could not have imagined getting through the last month of wedding planning , let alone the wedding day without her. Laura was extremely organized, professional, and detail oriented. She worked with all of our vendors weeks leading up to the wedding so that we didn't have to worry about last minute details. On the wedding day, my husband and I felt relaxed and stress-free knowing that Laura had everything under control. I was very particular about how I wanted certain things to be set up and Laura executed beautifully! She even bustled my wedding dress with very little instructions since my MOH had another job to do! We received a lot of compliments from our guests on how beautifully and smoothly the event went, and everyone had so much fun. Booking Laura has to be one of the best investments we made for our wedding. She is such a hard worker and a wonderful person to work with. At certain points during the wedding, I could've sworn she was in two places at the same time! Thank you so much Laura! You really were a huge part of the success of our special day!
My husband and I got married this past September at Foxchase Manor in Manassas, VA. When we were negotiating our contract, we were given the option to add Laura Kim from Iconic Events as a partial wedding coordinator (helping beyond just the day of). We are SO glad we did! We were planning our wedding in Virginia from Boston, only adding to the complexity of what was going to be a 300+ person wedding with 2 ceremonies! Over the course of our 20 month engagement, Laura was so helpful in coordinating meetings with vendors, keeping all notes organized and making sure we knew what we were supposed to be doing and when. She has great relationships with a ton of local vendors, and through her connections made sure we were getting the best deals. Then, in the 1-2 weeks leading up to the big day, Laura was so helpful in communicating with ALL our vendors, making sure they had all of the information they needed, and helping us stay calm and organized. On the day of, she had absolutely everything under control, kept everything running smoothly (and even on time!). Our wedding had a ton of moving parts, many events, a lot of different vendors, over 300 guests, and a bunch of little details – but everything went right! We were definitely lucky to have Laura and her team and I would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding in the future!
Laura went above and beyond during the months leading up to our wedding and as a day of coordinator! I cannot put into words how appreciative I am for everything the Iconic Events team did! Laura was always available anytime I had a question or concern, and she answered my inquiries within seconds! She has such a good eye for detail and was on top of things without me having to ask. My number one desire for vendors on the day of my wedding was that I be able to trust them and feel at ease. Well, Laura and her team ensured that I felt comfortable every step of the way and on the day of my wedding all I had to do was sit back and enjoy the show! I'd definitely recommend them to other couples! :)
Erin was like part of the family. She was warm and welcoming and always greeted us with a beautiful smile and "can do attitude". She did an amazing job at organizing all of the big and little details. I received many wonderful compliments about the day most of which I give her credit for. She was the first one at the venue and the last to leave. Attending to every aspect of the day. The ceremony had to be moved in doors at the last minute and no one ever knew that it wasn't planned that way from the beginning. She made things happen and it was perfect. Thank you Erin for everything!
Laura Kim, our day of coordinator for our wedding, was fantastic to work with from the first day we talked to her. Very professional and timely as well as friendly and knowledgeable. She had great ideas to help us on our wedding day; like how to make things flow smoothly and how we could be cost effective in different areas leading up to our big day. The templates she provided and help with them ensured peace of mind and really allowed my wife and I to feel confident in our decisions. Also her support and encouragement throughout the process helped tremendously. When the day finally came it was great knowing we were in such good hands and we knew that everything would be taken care of so our guests had the best experience possible. On our wedding day we didn't have any stressful moments or concerns because we knew Laura would take care of us!
Hands down the best wedding planner ever! Laura Kim was our wedding planner and she helped my wife and us have the most perfect wedding ever. My wife and I are both physicians in training based in Michigan and unfortunately we dont get much free time to ourselves. With 6 months or so left prior to the wedding, we got in touch with Laura and
that turned out to be a huge BLESSING. She lined up selected top-notch vendors (DJ, photography, lighting, flowers etc) to meet with us on a short weekend trip to Manassas and made us feel so comfortable throughout the process. She was always approachable, accomodating, and worked tirelessly throughout the planning process as well as during the wedding events. Not once did she appear frazzled while helping us through our 4 event 400+ guests, multi-day Indian wedding event!!! She even gave me an amazing last minute wedding entrance idea that my wife and I will always cherish!!! She is a thorough professional and the best in this industry, we cannot thank her enough for being involved in our wedding! We told her our vision for the wedding and she delivered a perfectly planned Indian Wedding :)))) She is creative, talented and the ultimate wedding planner in the VA, MD, DC region! Needless to say, WE recommend Laura unreservedly to anyone :)
The Iconic Events team is fantastic to work with! I had my wedding at Foxchase Manor and Wynn was my coordinator. She provided me with great advice, responded to my questions quickly, was always professional and so sweet! She also helped me find other vendors and really made me fee like she would take care of everything on our Wedding Day. Thank you for making my wedding day so special and memorable!
Laura Kim is awesome to work with on events. She is punctual, professional and overall has great ideas.
Pros: Nice girls but that's about it.
Cons: Inexperienced and unprofessional.
This company is unprofessional. First of all, after the wedding we asked Wynn if we could pick up the cake and flowers tomorrow because our loaded car was full and she said yes. Well...The very next morning, the cake was gone and the flowers were donated to charity. DISRESPECTFUL. I was livid because we had a whole half of sheet cake left and they threw it away! Or so they say. I think it's a scam. I think the venue said that and they decided to take my left over cake home, give it their family, and eat it. That's irritating to me because as you know wedding cakes cost a $1000 plus dollars. I didn't buy wedding cake for the staff to take home and eat. You already got paid. That's so unprofessional and extremely disrespectful. But here is other kicker: My flowers were gone. They donated my centerpieces to charity. My wedding coordinator should have saw it through that my request was respected. Just because the wedding was over with, if you are a morally righteous person your due diligence that everything is handled properly at the end.
During my ceremony, my wedding photographer told me that one of the wedding coordinators photobombed all of my pictures because she was in the aisle behind me taking pictures of MY wedding on her cell phone. UNPROFESSIONAL! Smh
My during my planning process my coordinators were in flexible with my weddding rehearsal practices and demanded that everyone come at 4pm saying that the venue will be closed. That was a lie because the vendors came at 7pm and we wouldn't have been in the way because the ceremony was outside. It was extremely inconvenient be it that I had out of town guests and my bridal party was coming from work. Not to mention, the traffic was horrible around 4pm in VA. I think that they just wanted to end early for their Friday night. Not even thinking about the bride's needs and wedding party traveling from out of town and work.
Another issue is that my wedding coordinator was inexperienced. It was obvious. She was not firm with the vendors and did not appear sure when answering my questions. She always had to "get back" with me. And she allowed the venue and catering company to take advantage of my left over things.
The wedding coordinator waited on me to do things for her that she could've done to help me. For instance, she spoke with a vendor but the vendor didn't follow up with her. So instead of calling him again or going to his website she prolonged things till I have her the vendor's email. Mind you she only called him once and the wedding was in less than 72 hours. So I told her to call him again. And she called him again and got his email. Why did she bother me with that? I'm doing a million and one things. Step it up. Take some initiative. She did a lot waiting around and didn't really take charge.
In conclusion, I'm pissed about my cake, my floral centerpieces, and my wedding pictures that they photobombed. In retrospect, I pretty much planned the wedding myself and kept in touch with the vendors myself because I didn't trust my coordinator. They literally was just an extra hand of help (barely) on wedding day.
My advice is that you are better off using a different company with more expertise and professionalism or paying a friend that has your best interest at heart to help you on wedding day. Save your $1300. Not worth the investment with this company.
