From start to finish, Rachel at The Finer Points was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, supportive, and kind. She quickly sized up the personalities of the bride and groom and family. Her years of experience were evident. She was a class act! Rachel helped the bride and family navigate every last detail of an exceptional special day with a smile on her face and true joy in her heart! We can't thank her enough for helping us with a magical wedding enjoyed by all!
We used the Finer Points for our wedding in May 2025 and it was amazing! Rachel helped to bring all the details together the months leading up to event and it went off wonderfully. She listened to all of our ideas and brought every vision to life. She helped create a timeline that made the day run smoothly. We had great communication throughout the whole process. I loved getting to work with her and she made the wedding day a dream come true! I would highly recommend the Finer Points to anybody looking for a wedding planner or coordinator!
We are so grateful that we planned my daughter's wedding with The Finer Points. It was a perfect day. Lynne and Kyle had our backs throughout the planning process and guided us to a wonderful wedding. From the start, they were great sounding boards as we decided on what to say "yes" and "no" to. There are so many options!! Day of? Kyle and Lisa did a great job. Biggest test? I felt like a guest at the wedding. They made sure it all stayed on track. You will be in good hands with the Finer Points!
Nicole did an absolutely amazing job as our day-of coordinator. She knew what we wanted and executed it perfectly and also helped us with last minute design/decor decisions.
My husband and I cannot thank The Finer Points (TFP) enough for making our wedding day so wonderful - especially Lynn, Rachel, and Kyle. We are so grateful for all their help leading up to the big day and ensuring everything went smoothly on the day of the wedding. From the timeline and floor plan they created, decor they transported and set-up for us, vendor coordination, clean up, and more - it was clear they understood our vision and took it to the next level. TFP's hard work (both in front of and behind the scenes) truly made everything go off without a hitch! As an example - it unexpectedly started to pour at the end of our cocktail hour, and they quickly and seamlessly pivoted our plans and moved all our decor inside.
Additionally, several of our guests let us know how much they appreciated The Finer Point's help when they had wardrobe malfunctions/other issues that TFP fixed in an instant. We want to thank them for not only taking such great care of us, but for our family and friends as well - it means so much!
The Finer Points went above and beyond to make our day better than we could have imagined, and we have nothing but the best to say about them. TFP has our highest recommendation!
We had a fantastic experience working with Nicole and Lynn at The Finer Points, LLC. From the moment we first met, they made me feel at ease, guiding us through every step of the planning process with professionalism, creativity, and unwavering support. Their attention to detail was impeccable, and they truly listened to my vision, turning it into a stunning reality.
On the day of our wedding, despite an impending hurricane, the Finer Points team pulled everything together flawlessly and was determined be step ahead of any possible hiccup. The entire event ran smoothly from start to finish. We were able to relax and enjoy the day, knowing everything was in expert hands.
Nicole and Lynn went above and beyond, always offering thoughtful suggestions, pulling together a complicated timeline and managing communication with multiple vendors throughout the wedding weekend. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner to bring our dream wedding to life. We highly recommend The Finer Points, LLC to any couple looking for an stress-free, unforgettable wedding experience!
Lynn and her team at Finer Points were such a pleasure to work with. They helped with all the details for my daughter's wedding in June 2024 at the Middleburg Barn. Everything was seamless. I cannot say enough good things about them.
We had such a pleasure working with Lynn, Rachel & Kyle at The Finer Points. As a very detailed person, it was appreciated that I could pass off my vision and trust these ladies would see it through so I could enjoy the day. From the beginning, I felt in good hands. They took notes of everything that I envisioned happening at our wedding. Rachel developed a wedding timeline that was easy to follow and share with others filled with diagrams and notes for all vendors. Rehearsal and Day of were kept on schedule due to their amazing coordination with all involved. I felt relief when I saw Rachel walk into my getting-ready room the morning of the wedding. If I needed anything or wanted anything changed, Rachel and Kyle made it happen. They were able to give me advice when I could not make a decision, they packed everything up so nicely at the end of the night and even secured us dinner/cake after the wedding when we came off the high and were ready to eat. I highly recommend these ladies, they will allow you to enjoy your day and make your dreams come true!!
We had the pleasure of working with Lynn for my daughter's wedding in Northern VA in mid-September. I can't say enough about how wonderful she is to work with. From the moment we met her with our initial inquires to the very last detail of the wedding, Lynn was professional, accommodating, kind, and provided us with the best advice and information for every aspect of the wedding. Back in the day the venue handled everything, so we were quite overwhelmed with the decisions we had to make from the silverware to the food, linens, etc. Lynn guided us from start to finish, leaving us with very little worry that the planning was in the right hands. Even more, my daughter and husband live across the country so it was a challenge to all get together for group planning, but Lynn made it work, even attending virtual meetings over the weekend or at 8PM. She was very reasonably priced compared to other planners, and she provided us with her caring personal touch, vendor recommendations, and other suggestions to help with our decision making. Not once did she say "no, that can't be done." I have a Type A personality, as does my daughter, so letting go of the reins wasn't easy for us, but we were in such capable hands with Lynn and her team. The wedding day went smoothly, with Lynn taking care of all our needs. I can't recommend her enough - if you have any reservations at all, I'd be happy to get on the phone with you to sing her praises. Thank you, Lynn and The Finer Points, for your help making my daughter's wedding an amazing event!
I can't recommend The Finer Points enough! Victoria was an incredible partner throughout the entire wedding process. She brought our beach wedding dreams to life, and we will be forever grateful for the special day she created for us. Laura was an amazing partner as well, and it was wonderful to have both of them at the wedding, ensuring everything went smoothly. One of the saddest realizations after the wedding was that I wouldn't be in daily contact with Victoria; she truly was a joy to work with. Choosing The Finer Points was, without a doubt, the best decision we made when planning our wedding.
The Finer Points was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Our venue required day of coordination and I’m so happy they did. The Finer Points from start to finish were spot on. We worked closely with the owner Lynn before the wedding. She helped with our scheduling and thought through all of our ideas. Then the week of Nicole Dukas took over as our lead coordinator. She gave our whole wedding party schedules the day before, led our rehearsal, and led our wedding the day of perfectly. From keeping the calm, designing a gorgeous space and even doing an alcohol run mid wedding she took care of everything!!! Would recommend to anyone!
Lynn and the whole Finer Points team was amazing! We hired her as our wedding coordinator for our May, 2024 wedding at Murray Hill in Leesburg. From the first meeting, she was professional, gave helpful vendor recommendations, and the planning began! Throughout the few months that we worked with her, Lynn kept us on track for the months leading up to the wedding with a schedule that became essential in our planning and for the day of the wedding. She was great in communicating with all of our vendors, and was especially helpful with the caterer, which was such a big part of the planning. We couldn't imagine our wedding day without Lynn and Rachel from The Finer Points! They took control of the whole day and relived much of the burden that would've otherwise been on myself and family. Truly grateful!
We hired Laura Billak from The Finer Points to be our designer/decorator and wedding planner for a December 2023 wedding in Leesburg, VA. Laura did an amazing job and we were so happy with the final result! For the decoration and design, she was able to execute our vision for a winter woodland Christmas theme while also proposing a number of fantastic decor choices that we had not previously considered. She was able to work with us and our budget to create an elegant and beautiful aesthetic that made us so happy and impressed our guests. She knew the venue well and was able to recommend decorations that fit the space really well and created the atmosphere we were looking for. Her network of vendors were very helpful and ended up providing the furniture and greenery to make the vision become real. She and her team worked tirelessly to set-up and breakdown the decor so that we had very little to worry about.
For the wedding planning, we mostly needed help finalizing details for the wedding day and weekend events having already selected our venue and vendors before hiring Laura. She did a great job helping us plan the wedding day and kept things running smoothly throughout the day despite juggling the decorations set-up and breakdown. She was a great go-between with the venue and helped reduce our stress leading up to and during the wedding weekend. She also went out of her way to help us find venues for the other wedding events happening that weekend when we faced cancelled contracts and struggled to find venues that met our needs/budget. We highly recommend Laura and her team at The Finer Points for both wedding design/decorating and planning--she made our wedding day magical!
Hiring Laura of The Finer Points was HANDS DOWN the best decision we made while planning our wedding. She is beyond fabulous!!! Completely professional, reliable, knowledgeable, trustworthy, patient, and an absolute joy to be around. Her vendor recommendations and planning skills were invaluable prior to the wedding. But what really sets her apart is her on-site management skills. She coordinated a thousand moving parts and people with seemingly effortless ease. The entire event was flawless, and we will forever be grateful to Laura for helping us make our dream wedding a reality.
I literally won the jackpot with Lynn of The Finer Points!!! You see, I had started planning our small July wedding at the end of March and thought I had it all under control...
I reached out to Visit Loudoun with an SOS ~3 weeks before my wedding as I was overcome with stress from spreading myself too thin trying to manage it all myself, and keep pace with my daily life and work routines.
I had everything prepared - venue, music, food, photography, hair/makeup, rough timeline - but it was literally consuming my thoughts every second of the day; had I missed something?
I AM SOOOO INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL for Lynn.
She accommodated our hectic schedules to do a venue walk through and I immediately knew we had the best. She's simply a gem of a person, extremely communicative, professional, poised, and honest! (as someone else put it!)
She helped us quickly problem solve ideas to maintain the feel we wanted and NOT compromise on what WE WANTED--our nontraditional cake set-up and random ring bearer!
Trust all of us, you need Lynn's services if you want your wedding day to be truly exceptional (AND stress-free).
Don't be like me and seek help 2-3 weeks before your day.
Yes it's "just a day...a big day" and the excitement and stress that weddings breed is REAL. Don't get lost in it --- call Lynn sooner than later!
Lynn is amazing! She was highly recommended to me by a friend when I realized I could never plan my wedding on my own. She was by my side from beginning to end.
We had an initial meeting in her lovely studio where we talked about my vision, budget, expectations, and her process. From there, Lynn recommended all of my wonderful vendors, she came to multiple vendor meetings with me, and even came to my home for a final meeting before the "big day" to make sure everything was lined up and organized. She was extremely communicative, professional, poised, and honest!
And finally, Lynn facilitated everything that happened on my wedding day. She came to my hotel room in the morning to make sure I was happy, she worked with my vendors at the venue to make sure my vision was executed to perfection, and was by my side throughout the entire night to make sure it all went smoothly.
My wedding day was everything I imagined it would be, and more. It was absolutely perfect in every way, and I could have never done it on my own. Trust me, you need Lynn's help if you want your wedding day to be truly exceptional (and stress-free). She is amazing!
Where do we even begin? We had the absolute PLEASURE of working with Victoria and Laura from Finer Points to bring our Corolla, NC wedding to life in June of 2023. Victoria was our primary planner and we cannot sing her praises enough.
Planning a destination wedding (we live in NY) comes with a unique set of challenges. Even if you’re familiar with the area, like we were, there were so many details, questions and decisions that need to be made. It had the potential to feel daunting but Victoria guided us through with ease.
She is highly organized, equal parts conceptual and detail-oriented. We were able to describe the “vibes” we wanted our big day to emit and she helped us feel in any gaps we had in our vision.
Once we moved beyond the initial planning stages, Victoria put any of our anxieties at ease about the big day with regular check-ins and an incredibly detailed schedule for rehearsal and wedding day. She (and the entire Finer Points team) are thoughtful, accommodating and best of all, resourceful. We threw them a few curve balls along the way (e.g. wanting to work with our own DJ but needing to rent equipment locally) and they were more than happy to help us. We really felt like we had a partner in the wedding planning experience—someone who was on our side.
If you’re on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, all I can say is that this investment was more than worth the while in our opinion.

I can’t say enough about Lynn and The Finer points team. We invested in the premium wedding planning package with The Finer Points for my daughter’s wedding, and have had absolutely no regrets! Lynn made our entire wedding experience incredible. From the very first meeting, she led us through our wedding budget, gave us time to process it, and then steered us to all of the best vendors within our budget (which we now just think of as, all of the best vendors, period). The Finer Points has a very thorough collection of vendors and every one of them loves to work with Lynn…they can’t say enough good things about her! Lynn was such a reassuring presence at vendor meetings, and always had extra questions that we wouldn’t have thought to ask. Lynn even came over and sat with me (twice) to order our wedding invitations on line. Probably the most important thing that a planner can do, is keep you on track, and Lynn did that beautifully. On the day of the wedding, I was able to concentrate solely on the bride. I knew that Lynn and her team had it all under control. When I walked into the event space at Stone Tower before the wedding, it took my breath away! We had been so well prepared, that Lynn and her team had not had to ask me a single question all day and the space was decorated to perfection! Lynn is so calm that she brought a beautiful peace to an otherwise very hectic year. I highly recommend The Finer Points, you will not be disappointed!
I am so thankful we found the Finer Points and Laura B to help plan my daughter’s wedding. We hired Laura to help us fully plan the wedding (Platinum package) and we are so glad we did. Laura was a wealth of information and her knowledge of area vendors from catering to florists to transportation helped to make what could be an overwhelming decision making process so easy. My daughter and son-in-law live in the UK and the wedding was held here in the States, so there was lots of coordination across time zones and planning for many guests visiting internationally. Laura helped to keep us on track with the big to-do list of items and her calm, warm and professional approach took the stress out of hosting such a complex event. On the day of the wedding, Laura and her team were there taking care of all the final details to make the special day come together. I was able to enjoy precious moments with my daughter and family without worry, not to mention dance the night away at the reception. All of our guests remarked on what a wonderful time they had and, most importantly, my daughter and son in law had the dream day they had so looked forward to. Laura and Finer Points add so much value and experience to planning a wedding. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
We worked with Laura at The Finer Points on our wedding and she was absolutely fantastic. We had date and venue changes to manage due to COVID and she handled them with grace and patience and kept us from panicking. Her suggestions for alternate venues were spot on and the wedding went of with out a hitch despite 2 snow storms. We couldn't have managed without her.

If you would like a stress-free experience with some of the most courteous and talented people in the business, turn to The Finer Points Coastal, LLC for your special occasion. They listen intently to ensure all of your vision and expectations are met and even exceeded. We used them for our 20th Anniversary Vow Renewal in Corolla, NC and the event was absolutely amazing. If you are looking for a beautiful, affordable event, this is the company for you! Thank you Laura and Victoria for making our event weekend so amazing!
Lynn and her team at the Finer Points did am amazing job coordinating every detail of our wedding day. They have an encyclopedic knowledge of vendors in and around Loudoun County, and the day-of coordination was completely impeccable.
Lynn, Thank you so much for everything you did to make Laura & Kyle’s wedding go flawlessly. It was always so comforting to know you had everything under control from our first meeting to the end of the evening on the wedding day. Everything went to plan. It was a pleasure working with you.
Lynn was incredible, we cannot recommend her and Finer Points enough! She was calming, creative, attentive, and very responsive to our many questions and details. Lynn made sure everything went to plan and allowed for both my husband and I and our families to completely enjoy the weekend with no stress. Thank you Lynn!!
Nicole was absolutely amazing!! She is so calming and has a creative eye. I entrusted her with designing my entire reception and she always made sure it would be exactly what my husband and I wanted. She made sure my husband and I had food and drinks in our hand at our reception. I am so thankful for Finer Points; the wedding day was completely stress free! I would 100% recommend Nicole!
Lynn (The Finer Points) was a phenomenal day-of coordinator - hiring her was one of the best choices we made when planning our wedding. She is professional, knowledgable, calm, and supportive . My husband and I (and our parents) were able to truly enjoy our wedding day and have fun at our party because Lynn was there to ensure everything went smoothly and to take care of issues. She also stuck with us through two rounds of COVID-related rescheduling. Thank you Lynn for everything you did to help us have such a wonderful day.
We cannot recommend The Finer Points Coastal enough!! We got married in Corolla, NC in April 2022 and we can honestly say that there is no way our wedding would have been such as success if not for the Finer Points. Laura and Tori were incredible throughout the entire process and took out so much of the stress of wedding planning. Their communication in emails, zoom calls, and in-person was outstanding. I never felt like any question I had was too big or too small and they were always quick to respond with advice.
As someone who’s strong suit is not in design, I was initially worried about choosing things like color palettes and decorations myself. However, working with Laura and Tori allowed the visions of my perfect wedding to come to life. It was incredible how they were able to put together exactly what we wanted from just a few pictures and ideas. The reception turned out even more beautiful than we could have imagined and perfectly represented us as a couple.
The day-of coordinating was also very impressive, Laura and Tori truly went above and beyond to make sure we and our guests had the best day possible. They had the schedule of events planned to the minute and it made the entire day so much less stressful.
Personally, Laura and Tori’s enthusiasm and passion for our wedding was apparent in everything they did.
By wedding day, it honestly felt like we had known them for years and they became like family. We could feel their excitement for us and that made the day even more special. We have nothing but praise for The Finer Points Coastal and highly recommend them for your wedding!
Selecting The Finer Points Coastal to be the wedding planner for our daughter’s April 30, 2022 Whalehead Club wedding was by far the best decision we made. A wedding planner is the foundation on which all other wedding decisions are made, and Laura and Victoria were simply amazing to work with. They were meticulous throughout the entire process and brought to life a vision that our daughter and her husband had only previously dreamed about. Their ability to ask the right questions and to understand the concept of what we were trying to accomplish and then turn it into reality created a magical experience that none of us will ever forget. Laura and Victoria exhibit a unique passion for their craft and an enthusiasm that is a rare combination to find. It is clear how much pride they take in their work. Their love of the Outer Banks and experience with the area was apparent and helped make us feel at ease throughout the process. Their communication skills, organization, preparation, follow-up, and execution all receive 5+ stars! They are experts in wedding etiquette and think of every detail which is especially important when planning for a venue such as the Whalehead Club. Our 170 guests could not stop complimenting us on the ceremony, décor, layout, and cocktail hour/reception and we owe this to the vision shown by Laura and Victoria. Our officiant, who has presided over more than 200 weddings, told us that this was the most special and unique wedding he had ever attended.
And possibly the best part of the experience is that Laura and Victoria have become a part of our family in the process, and we will forever be grateful for them making this day so special for all of us. We have offered to Laura and Victoria to share our contact info for anyone interested in a reference and additional details or information.
There are many options for wedding planners in the Outer Banks, but if you are looking for the best.wedding.ever, you should contact The Finer Points Coastal, we GUARANTEE that you will not be disappointed!
As the mother of the bride I would give the Finer Points and Laura B six stars if I could! The attention to detail and personalization was second to none. Laura was a wealth of information with amazing ideas and follow through. From the coordination of multiple vendors to calling audibles for a rainy weekend full of events, Laura and her team were always thinking ahead. My daughter’s wedding weekend was a “dream,” her words! All of our guests remarked on what a wonderful time they had and without a doubt that was made possible because of Laura and Finer Points.
Lynn and Nicole at The Finer Points are truly the best coordinators we could have asked for. We book the day of package and the help and coordination they provided was truly the greatest. We can honestly say our wedding would not have turned out as perfect as it did without Lynn and Nicole. We got so much assistance from both ladies leading up to our wedding. From helping us find vendors, assisting us with food selections, helping decide reception layouts, to everything in between, and most importantly to helping us on our wedding day, Nicole and Lynn did an outstanding job. I know some people get hesitant to book a coordinator for their big day and thinking they can do it all themselves, please book with The Finer Points. They helped our day run smoothly without any issues, that we know of, and made our day truly magical and perfect. Nicole was with us all day on the day of and she was so professional and truly helped ease any worries and potential issues. Both Nicole and Lynn went ABOVE AND BEYOND what we imagined they would do and we cannot recommend them enough to anyone looking for a coordinator.
Collaborating with Lynn at The Finer Points was the best part of our wedding planning experience by far. Lynn was always calm, has so much experience and guidance on weddings in the Loudon area, and made sure we were on track. When we started wedding planning in January 2021 for a 2022 wedding, we didn't know what to expect with covid. Lynn helped us find affordable vendors, work with them to bring our vision to life, and ensure everything went smoothly during the weekend itself. She was always available to answer questions too, which we really appreciated. Thank you to Lisa who helped on our big day as well! I will miss talking to Lynn regularly now that our wedding is over :)
We are so grateful to have hired The Finer Points for our October 2021 wedding. Laura was our lead and she was assisted by Nicole. These ladies were just rays of sunshine to work with, which alleviated so much of the stresses that often come from wedding planning. Laura was incredibly organized and thoughtful in remembering little details that were very important to my husband and me. I am the type of bride that is super organized, super type-A, and also super obsessed with the wedding industry itself (I could look at tablescapes, wedding dresses, decor, reception decor etc all day), so it was really important to me to find a planner that embraced my knowledge of the industry and desire to be involved, particularly the design process. Laura did an excellent job of helping me focus my ideas and achieve my design vision in a way that met my budget. My mother and I truly enjoyed working with The Finer Points and highly recommend them to all other brides out there! We are so grateful for Laura & her team for helping my long-awaited dream wedding come true!
Having a planner/coordinator for your wedding is an absolute must! Laura Billak with the Finer Points was our saving grace throughout the entire process. They were the first vendor we booked after we secured our venue - and we found them because of the venue's high recommendation for them. Now we know why! Laura knows the wedding industry inside and out. She was there through every step of the way and made sure that we stayed on schedule with our planning and organization leading up to the big day. She was always available to speak to me - exchanging emails, texts, and calls at any time I needed her. Laura and Nichole understood our wedding vision perfectly and brought it to life (and better than we imagined) for the best day of our lives! Everything ran incredibly smoothly, without a hitch, and we were able to truly enjoy our day. We could not have asked for any better! We are now a month past our wedding and Laura is still helping me tie up some loose ends. You will be in the best hands with The Finer Points team!
We had the most amazing wedding experience all thanks to Lynn and Nicole from the Finer Points. It exceeded any expectations that we had and Lynn knocked it out of the park! Our wedding experience with Lynn and the Finer Points was definitely a journey as we originally had our wedding scheduled on September 2020. As we all know, we had to reschedule and push it back to October 2021 due to the pandemic. Lynn was with us every step of the way these past 2 years and we could not have asked for a better planner to help navigate us through this experience. During our journey of planning and replanning, Lynn had a group of trusted vendors that she recommended to us. The florist that she recommended understood our vision to a T and put out the most amazing floral package together. Our original caterer had to drop due to the pandemic but Lynn quickly had a strong alternative recommendation and our guest genuinely enjoyed the food and the presentation of everything. Lynn had prior experiences with the venue so she knew exactly what to do and how to make our venue perfect for our amazing day. Every recommendation that Lynn provided to us turned out to be AMAZING recommendations. There is obviously a lot of stress that comes with wedding planning, but Lynn always provided comfort to us every time we spoke and helped us navigate any questions or concerns we had.
After all of the planning and replanning, our wedding day nears and we hear the scary news that there's potential for rain! Luckily, Lynn had the foresight to plan a rain backup plan just in case (luckily we didn't need it!). Throughout the planning efforts, Lynn and the Finer Points created a detailed itinerary for the day that was executed to a T! We had some last minute scope creep as our families wanted to add some traditional Chinese tea ceremonies but Lynn was able to accommodate us and add that to the schedule.
Here comes the wedding day. Lynn and Nicole had FLAWLESS execution. Lynn and Nicole were in contact with all of our vendors throughout the lead-up and the day itself -- so all of the set up was executed perfectly. As the processional of the ceremony was about to start, it started to rain! Obviously that stressed the wedding party out but Lynn was super calm and her presence calmed us down. The rain passed within a minute or two and the ceremony was executed flawlessly. Lynn and Nicole were amazing throughout the rest of the night and helped us, our guest, and our vendors with everything throughout the night. We cannot state enough, THANK YOU LYNN, NICOLE, AND THE FINER POINTS for the most perfect wedding we could have asked for that far exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Lynn, Nicole, and the Finer Points to anyone as they helped us with our dream wedding.
Lynn and her team of interns were amazing to work with! The day of our wedding, my husband and I didn’t have to stress about anything! The venue was all set up and the decor was exactly where we wanted it.
Lynn assured me she had everything taken care of and she did!
Lynn is also so kind and easy to talk to. John and I interviewed a few planners and knew she was the one right away.
If you’re in need of a planner, look no further :)
Get yourself a wedding planner or at the VERY LEAST a day of coordinator. Lynn and her intern, Jordan were very professional and personable. I hired them as my day of coordinator as I didn't want to have to "work" the day of my wedding (I am an event planner myself). There were things that went wrong, as there always are at events but I didn't know about them -- which is exactly what I wanted. They kept everyone on schedule, helped with set up and helped coordinate vendors when they were arriving. It was easily the best money I spent that day to remain calm and stress free. Thank you The Finer Points for your polished professionalism!
It was an absolute pleasure working with Lynn and The Finer Points. We met with Lynn early in the planning process, and she was an incredibly valuable resource to us throughout, especially navigating the challenges that COVID presented. She was super organized, responsive, open to all of our ideas and suggestions, and thoughtful about considerations on how to make the day as pleasant for our guests as possible. She gave us recommendations on vendors who all turned out amazing, she took point on communication with our venue owner which saved us a ton of time throughout the planning process, but where she really stood out was on our wedding day. Lynn put together an amazing schedule and coordinated with all of our vendors to make sure that everyone was on the same page, and throughout our wedding she was constantly on top of every little item and timing, handled issues that popped up with ease, and generally made sure that we, our guests, and our vendors were crystal clear on where they should be and when. Her team member Jordan was super helpful as well in taking care of all of the details of the day :) We truly can't imagine what we would have done without Lynn and The Finer Points - she was absolutely vital to the success of our wedding day and I would 1000% recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner/day of coordinator who will make sure things go off without a hitch! Thank you so much Lynn! - Stephen & Carli
There is no doubt that among the best decisions we made in planning our daughter’s wedding was to hire Lynn Iannizzi and the Finer Points to assist us in the planning. From the moment we met Lynn we were very impressed by her pleasant, personable, and genuinely caring nature and calm demeanor. We knew that she would be of great assistance to us and the perfect person to help with the planning. It was readily apparent that Lynn’s years of wedding and event planning experience would help us navigate through the wedding planning process and select vendors that would best meet our needs. As we ultimately discovered, she turned out to be far more than the perfect wedding planner and exceeded all of our expectations.
We were well into planning for a July 2020 wedding and had everything lined up only to be faced with restrictions imposed by the Covid-19 Pandemic. We decided to reschedule the wedding for November 2020 and Lynn immediately dove in and successfully worked with all of our vendors to reschedule a November wedding. As the November wedding approached, more restrictions were imposed and we had to again adjust the wedding plans. Again, being the consummate planning professional that she is, Lynn was instrumental in helping us coordinate all of the additional changes that were necessary for the wedding and reception, even though both events would have to be phased back. Lynn calmly coordinated and guided us through all of the necessary changes, and because of her personal involvement and attention to detail, we were ultimately able to have a smaller yet still beautiful and memorable wedding ceremony and family dinner.
Lynn’s guidance and suggestions on venues, vendors and approaches for the wedding were excellent. From day one she was personally committed to making the wedding successful, always listened carefully to and respected what we wanted, offered thoughtful recommendations, and never failed to quickly respond to us when we had a question or needed her advice. She is a skilled wedding planner and we will always be thankful for her caring and tireless support. We look forward to working with Lynn as we plan a larger reception in the future.
From the beginning of our planning process, Lynn was incredible! She made us feel heard, gave great suggestions and was always just an email or call away. Less than 2 months before the wedding, we made the hard call to change from a 200+ person affair to a 15 person family only ceremony. Lynn was my calm through it all - she knew exactly how to scale down the event and took care of all of our logistics and details. Then, in the days leading up to our "mini-mony", a hurricane hit the weather forecast. Lynn did a phenomenal job of coaching me through when decisions such as to move the dinner indoors (a poor option given COVID) needed to be made. Ultimately, we the weather held off and she made the venue look absolutely beautiful. I truly could not have made it through the day without her, and cannot wait to have her support our larger ceremony next year.
I had the pleasure of working with Lynn for our 9/26 wedding, and I cannot emphasize enough how amazing she was. There was absolutely no way we could have pulled off our special day without her commitment, expertise, and passion. Due to covid, we were faced with the task of replanning our wedding essentially from scratch in late June. From the moment we reached out to Lynn, her warm and welcoming demeanor made working with her both enjoyable and easy. I appreciated her flexibility and clear communication, especially when I went back to work as a kindergarten teacher via distance learning. Had I been left to coordinate all the details on my own (which I foolishly thought I could at one point), I am confident everything would have fallen apart. Instead, Lynn fully took over the reigns and communicated on my behalf with the various vendors we used.
When the wedding weekend arrived she was incredibly professional, energetic, and patient. I was able to fully enjoy my day knowing that Lynn had everything taken care of, right down to bringing her husband and his truck to our venue to move a generator! There were so many details in both the scheduling and design of our wedding that I never would have thought of, but she made everything run like a well oiled machine. What’s more, she made us feel so special while doing all of the above. I cannot speak highly enough of everything that she did and would make the decision to work with her ten times over.
I was skeptical on the need for a planner. We already booked a venue and the church and were well on the way to choosing vendors. I thought it was an unnecessary indulgence, but in the end, it was one of the best decisions we made. Thanks to Lynn's precision execution and calm demeanor, our daughter's wedding day, in the middle of a pandemic, was perfect. Through the process of planning, Lynn took the time to get to know and understand not only the bride and groom's wants and needs, but also both sets of parents who wanted to participate in the event. It was not easy balancing all the personalities and opinions, but Lynn's positive energy kept us focused on the outcome which was an amazing day for the bride and groom.
One of the best pieces of wedding advice we were given was to hire a coordinator, and Lynn was definitely the right choice. Lynn has been in the business for many years, so she truly knows the ins and outs of coordinating a wedding. Which is great, because we did not! She was helpful through some of the late planning stages, and made sure we were asking the right questions. She really shined in the final couple weeks. You think you've got it together, but stress levels go through the roof, and Lynn— who recognizes this, because she's been doing it much longer than we have— responded calmly to all our panicky emails, and was flexible to make schedule changes we wanted. She knew our vendors well, which was also helpful in terms of making sure everyone was on the same page for putting a schedule together. Rehearsal and wedding day went off without a hitch, and Lynn made sure everything was taken care of!
Lynn was great and ensured our wedding day went smoothly, adding no extra stress on us, we highly recommend her! She was there every step of the day and had excellent attention to detail. Very easy to get along with and stress free!
We hired The Finer Points to help with our wedding. I am soooo grateful for everything Lynn did to make our wedding and reception our perfect day! Our friends and family are still talking about it. Lynn was amazing and I feel very fortunate to have worked with her :)
We hired Lynn to help us with my daughters wedding in Leesburg VA. Lynn was such a pleasure to work with and my daughters wedding day was absolutely perfect !! We are so grateful to Lynn for all of her guidance leading up to the big day and for the perfect coordination on wedding day. Lynn has a wonderful demeanor. She is calm and also extremely organized. I thoroughly enjoyed my daughters wedding without any stress as I had complete confidence in Lynn. I knew she was would do everything she said she would and I didn't have to worry about anything. She came highly recommended to us and now I know why. She is wonderful to work with and is very professional. We feel very blessed that she was available on my daughters wedding day. It was a perfect day!!! Thank you Lynn.
Lynn was awesome for our wedding. We gave her our vision and she rolled with it and made it more perfect than I could have imagined. I can't imagine our wedding without her help! She was in the background the weeks leading up to the wedding and handled everything to the point where I wasn't stressed AT ALL the day of because I knew it was in good hands. Hire Lynn and the Finer Points and you won't be disappointed!
We couldn't even imagine having my daughter's wedding go as perfectly as it did, had it not been for Lynn!! Her attention to detail was amazing! If you are in this area, don't plan your wedding day without her!!!
Lynn was absolutely amazing for our wedding! We used the full service package and I am so glad we did. We ended up having to change planners with only 6 months before the wedding and she made everything go perfectly. The fact she was able to put this wedding together on such short notice should tell you how organized and efficient she is. Lynn is so approachable and easy to talk to. I felt that I got along with her immediately and was calm, cool and collected in the face of the last minute changes, AND dealing with an impending HURRICANE the day of the wedding!!!
I didn't know exactly how I wanted my wedding to look - I just wanted a fun party that I could enjoy with my family and friends, and she helped me create the event I hazily imagined. Her vendor recommendations were all spot on as well.
I can't say enough good things about Lynn; I am SO happy she planned my wedding and I would tell anyone to choose her, 100%.
Felicia was an incredible help to making our wedding perfectly, even when a hurricane was in the forecast. She is incredibly organized, willing to go the extra mile, and gave me the opportunity to completely relax, enjoy and soak up as much of our wedding as possible. She delicately navigated difficult family dynamics. Can’t imagine our wedding without her.
We hired The Finer Points as our day-of-coordinator for our June 2018 wedding at Murray Hill in Leesburg. I can't say enough wonderful things about Laura! Both Laura and Lynn sat down with my husband and I about 3 months before our wedding to go over details and ask us questions about our day and what we expected. We then had a venue walk through with both of them, along with our caterer and the manager of our band. Laura was also there for our rehearsal and made sure everyone got a copy of our timeline and was on the same page. Laura and Lynn were both so positive and excited about our vision and I always felt super confident about our plan with every meeting.
Laura was the lead for our wedding and she did a great job! The one thing I love about her is she has such a positive attitude which is so helpful when you're the bride and get stressed easily. In my stressed out haste right before the wedding, I told her my vision for the DYI decor I had brought to the wedding and she just took it and made everything look beautiful. She was very easy to get in touch with. I was able to text her about anything and she would make it happen or figure out a plan. She even texted me the night before the wedding to remind me to take a moment during the wedding to take it all in and enjoy the day. She took plenty of pictures and sent them to me afterwards. She also texted me photos of another wedding she did a few weeks before that had the same draping that I was going to have so I could see what it would look like. Her main goal was to always keep me informed when necessary and stress free! Laura went above and beyond and helped take the stress away from me and my husband and our families on the day of our wedding, which was my goal from day one. Everything went smoothly and it was a day that we will never forget! I would absolutely recommend The Finer Points to anyone!
Side note: My in-laws also hired her to plan the rehearsal dinner at their house. It was equally as beautiful and went off without a hitch!
