My husband and I had a great experience working with Keshia one month out from our wedding. She was always ready to answer questions and helped our vision for our day come to life ...
so beautifully. We are still getting so much love and compliments from guests on how amazing they thought our wedding was and Keshia played a huge role in that. Even on the day of one of my bridesmaids had a dress emergency, and Keshia ensured she had the right dress to wear for the ceremony. We are so grateful to her for all her hard work!
For any bride or mother of the bride involved in planning a wedding, having a wedding coordinator ensures that you and your family can be fully present and enjoy every moment. Choo...
sing Pride in Planning was, without a doubt, the best decision we made for our daughter’s wedding. Dr. Keshia Pride’s experience and calm demeanor created a stress-free atmosphere that made the entire process enjoyable and smooth. The weekly calls 30 days out were especially helpful to make sure we were on track for a successful wedding day experience. During these calls, she made recommendations on how to best incorporate various experiences into the ceremony and reception from a timing and flow perspective. This took a huge weight off our shoulders.
The morning of the wedding, my daughter texted in a panic—one bridesmaid had the wrong color dress. Her girls flew to the wedding from various places across the country and somehow a mishap occurred with the dress color with one of the bridesmaids. She contacted Keshia who immediately acted, sending her team to handle set-up while she went to the nearest David’s Bridal – one hour from the wedding venue. The store opened at 10:30 and the wedding was at 2:00 pm. She found a dress that was close enough and was able to get back to the venue in time for the photos which started at 1 pm. This was truly above and beyond the call of duty! I cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed working with her. Her attention to detail and dedication gave us true peace of mind, allowing us to focus on celebrating. If you are looking for a wedding coordinator who is experienced, dependable, personable, and willing to go the extra mile, I highly recommend Pride in Planning.
Signed,
One Happy Mother of the Bride!
We had the pleasure of working with Keshia as our wedding coordinator, and we could not be more grateful for her expertise and care throughout the entire process. Our intimate cere...
mony at the DC War Memorial in early May and our reception at Madigan’s Waterfront later that month were both absolutely beautiful — a true reflection of our vision brought to life.
From the very beginning, Keshia demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, organization, and attention to detail. She took the time to understand our preferences and priorities, ensuring that every aspect of our celebration felt personal and intentional. When our venue made suggestions that didn’t align with what we wanted, Keshia graciously and confidently advocated on our behalf, making sure our voices were heard and respected.
Her calm presence, clear communication, and genuine warmth made the planning process feel effortless. On the day of each event, we were able to relax and fully enjoy the moment, knowing that Keshia had every detail handled with precision and care.
Both our ceremony and reception exceeded our expectations, and we truly believe that wouldn’t have been possible without Keshia’s guidance and dedication. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple seeking a coordinator who is not only highly skilled but also deeply committed to making your day everything you’ve dreamed of.
We Found PNP at a bridal show and so grateful that we did! Keshia was wonderful to work with. She and her team were organized, very communicative and professional. They checked in ...
with us often and kept us on track with planning. We had the month of coordination package but they still checked in with us frequently before the month kicked in to help us focus on the proper tasks. Keshia was reassuring and calming through all wedding stresses. Our day ran smoothly and our family and friends are still raving about our special day. I'd recommend Pride in Planning to anyone planning a special event, especially a wedding.
I am so thankful we hired Keshia! Although we initially only booked day of coordinator services, she went above and beyond her duties and was always available for any questions we ...
had. She put my husband and I at ease during our wedding day when an issue (out of her control) occurred and was able to work around it. We also rented decor from her, and the way she decorated made the venue space even more beautiful than we imagined. We would definitely recommend her for any event planning services and hope to work with her again in the future!
Keshia and her team were incredible! They were highly responsive and organized, and helped walk us through all the steps we needed done to ensure our day flowed perfectly. We felt ...
like we didn't have to worry about anything other than enjoying our day thanks to how on top of it they were. I highly recommend them for any of your planning needs, we can't thank them enough for helping us create the most perfect day!
Keshia was an invaluable member of our team leading up to our wedding in November 2024 at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens. Even though we hired her as a month-of coordinator, she was ...
a partner for us throughout the whole planning process. Her company also rented out linens and decorations to us at fair rates, and everything looked outstanding on our big day.
Our day went off without a hitch, and we couldn't have done it without Keshia's attention to detail in our planning sessions with the venue as well as our regular touch-bases in the lead up to our wedding day. Her depth of experience helped us ask questions we wouldn't have been able to think of ourselves, and she helped us feel completely at ease throughout the planning process.
Keshia and her team executed perfectly at our rehearsal and on our wedding day. We can't thank Keshia enough for all of her hard work, her communication with us and our vendors, and her team.
We cannot sing enough praises for Keshia, our incredible wedding coordinator! From the moment we booked her for our August wedding, she became the essential glue that held everythi...
ng together.
Keshia was with us every step of the way, guiding us through the planning process with ease and professionalism. She was there to assist us with every tiny detail, from coordinating with our vendors, setting up the beautiful décor on the day of the wedding and assisting with our wedding party. Every time I had a question or needed to call on a whim, Keshia was there to assist us with all our needs. It was such a relief having Keshia and her team the day of the wedding, it allowed is to fully enjoy our day with no worries.
Keshia’s passion for wedding planning shines through in all her work. It’s clear that she genuinely loves what she does, and her attention to detail made all the difference for us. We wholeheartedly recommend booking Pride In Planning for your wedding. You won’t regret it—Keshia and her team will make your dream day a reality! Thank you again for making our wedding day unforgettable!

avigating extremely challenging moments with our wedding venue and another vendor making sure we got the experience we deserved as the bride and groom. We loved having access to her decor warehouse as well, it was a great help for planning and budgeting. Also, she has a great network of vendors she recommended for all of our ideas during the planning process. We appreciate having her on our team and not sure how we would have gotten through the wedding planning process without her.
Keshia and her team not only made our wedding day run smoothly, but were there every step of the way as we created the reflection of who we are for our special day. We feel lucky t...
o have had Keshia as our coordinator because she gave sound advice and was a huge help during the planning process. She also had some great vendor recommendations that we ended up using. The part where we felt that Keshia and her team went truly above and beyond was in the setup of our day, especially in regards to setting up the floral arrangements. We were so grateful for her care and expertise.
Words cannot express my gratitude for Pride N Planning, LLC. Keisha is amazing. If you are stressed out about anything, just call Keisha and she will take care of it completely! W...
ith her years of experience she can also suggest what might work and what won't, without taking control away from what you want. My wedding day was magical and Keisha made it all come to life. She has built a fantastic team that follows her lead without compromise. I could not have had a better planner and I absolutely intend to utilize her services for other functions. I recommend Plan N Planning, LLC without reservation.
There were a lot of beautiful moving parts for Sarah & Jarrett's Wedding Celebration at Vignon Manor Farm ~ a vendor team of 16, a guest count of over 200, a venue that went on for...
ever, along with one of the best planning teams to keep it all together. From a collaborative email a few weeks prior to a final outline a few days before to being everywhere needed the day of, Keshia ran an incredibly smooth & stunning event. She oversaw the entire day's operations efficiently, professionally, & in a friendly, approachable manner. Keshia was everywhere with everything ~ items, questions, answers, directions, & suggestions. Thank you for a fantastic start to the 2023 wedding season, Keshia ~ I will be recommending Pride in Planning! :)
Keshia and her team are super helpful! We hired her for the day of coordination package, which was perfect for us. A couple weeks before the wedding, Keshia scheduled a call with u...
s to review the timeline and it was very helpful, identifying things we hadn’t considered and giving suggestions for timing that proved so helpful on the day. When we had a snafu with our venue the day before the wedding, she worked extra hard to make sure that everything went smoothly and her efforts were so appreciated. During the wedding she kept everything on schedule but still checked in with me to make sure that I was enjoying the pace of the day. She even taught my husband and I how to cut the cake! She’s a great choice.
Keshia and her time provided superior service and were a pleasure to work with!

a has so much to offer anyone who works with her. We were also able to rent decor from her to fit our theme. Our day would not have come together or had been as successful without her! I can’t recommend her and her team enough
Keshia and her team did an amazing job to ensure our wedding went smoothly and exactly as we envisioned! From the early planning stages, Keshia asked all the questions and details ...
we hadn’t even thought of! As we rolled into the month of she helped us define our timeline and helped ease the last minute stress by handling communication with other vendors. We had no clue how to run a ceremony but Keshia guided us every step of the way during the rehearsal.
For the actual day of Keshia and her team did a wonderful job setting up our decor without any direction from us and it looked great. She anticipated all of our needs, I’d be about to ask someone for help and she would pop up ready to lend a hand. We had about 5 people attempt my bustle and finally Keshia was able to - without her I was worried I wouldn’t be able to dance and move but she saved me!
If you are looking for an efficient, detail oriented planner with an amazing team then look no further! She played a pivotal role in ensuring our day went off without a hitch and we couldn’t have had the wedding of our dreams without her. Thank you to the Pride in Planning team!
We hired Keshia and her team as our month of coordinator for our September 2022 wedding and could not have been happier with the decision. Keshia is very organized and professional...
. Her knowledge, experience, and ability to work well with other vendors made our wedding day run smoothly. There were important things we completely forgot to do on wedding day that unbeknownst to us Keshia and her team had already taken care of. Our only regret is that we should have hired Pride In Planning to plan our wedding!
Keshia was absolutely wonderful to work with, a perfect balance of professional and personable. She was an amazing support for my sister’s wedding, quick on her feet, solution orie...

I truly thought I could plan our wedding entirely on our own. After many sleepless nights, we decided to hire Keshia as our month of coordinator. Keshia was incredible. I would rec...
ommend her for everything. She kept us calm the month of our wedding, helped us keep on track of tasks, helped to point out all of the tiny things we hadn’t thought about, and communicated with our vendors for us. She helped us with all our wedding signage, had it printed for us, and helped us complete our wedding favors. She was worth her weight in gold. Pride in Planning was also reasonably priced so we felt like we could get the help we needed without adding too much to our budget. Hire her, you will not regret it.

ds, and Keshia was wonderful and willing to help with some special requests that made our day absolutely perfect.

Keshia was a joy to work with! She was our day-of wedding coordinator and we couldn’t have picked a better, more organized person to trust with ensuring our big day was a success. ...
The level of detail on the timeline she created was amazing and made things easy for my husband and I but also for all the vendors we were working with. We are so happy we chose Keshia as our day-of coordinator and don’t know what we would have done without her!
We brought in Keshia and the team to be our day-of-coordinator - after two postponements, we had most of the big stuff complete, but needed someone to help keep things moving along...
. I found the Pride in Planning team on Thumbtack, and Keshia was responsive off the bat. We had a few meetings leading up to our date, and they helped us develop a timeline. She coordinated everything with the vendors, which made me feel a lot more relaxed. I also appreciated her attention towards our ceremony - we weren't sure if we were going to be able to pull of our planned ceremony outdoors, but she helped us design a plan that still felt special event indoors. I'd definitely recommend Pride in Planning.
Keshia,
I just wanted to thank you again for everything you did for my daughter's wedding. Everything was wonderful and magical for all of us. Taking on this type of work has to b...

did an amazing job with coordination of all things under the sun. When it came time for the wedding day, her team took care of absolutely everything. My parents raved about how smoothly things went, and we were all impressed with Pride In Planning's work.
