We LOVED working with Brittany. We had monthly meetings with her for over a year, from the venue search phase to the handoff to our month-of coordinator, and she was so helpful. She helped us with the searches for everything—venue, DJ, photography, day-of coordination, flowers, catering—and provided us timelines and organization tools that were genuinely invaluable. We had very little idea going in exactly what was needed to plan a wedding, but Brittany’s collaboration made us feel very on top of things. She also worked with us to troubleshoot things when issues arose (like our flower provider not following some of our communication requests). And an added bonus is that she’s fun to hang out with lol—we really enjoyed our monthly meetings!! Would absolutely recommend the Venlist (and Brittany specifically)!
I had the best experience with The Venlist. I was fortunate to work with two great planners, first Kyra, and then Brittany. Kyra really understood what I was going for and was excellent at helping me plan, so I was bummed when she left. However, Brittany is absolutely amazing. She’s the absolute best at what she does. She goes above and beyond for you and she will definitely deal with any vendor issues you may have. Brittany is the main reason why my wedding vision was properly executed and brought to life. The Notion platform was perfect in keeping track of all things wedding, and I loved the style of it. Brittany is such a great person and easy to connect with.
Working with Erin Avery was more than a dream - she is a dream maker, fantasy creator, and one of the most organized people we’ve ever worked with. There honestly aren't words that capture the depth of our appreciation for her work. She took us through the whole journey as our virtual planner, guided us through the panic moments, saw the potential in our vision, and as our Day-Of Coordinator ensured we have the most magical wedding we could have ever dreamed up. She respected our budget, never wanted us to compromise on our vision, found vendors who could bring that vision to life, and made us feel like family the entire experience.
Erin brings a profound attention to detail, care for us as a couple, calming spirit, and gentle smile to every person she interacts with. She wants you to have your day go smoothly, as stress free as possible, and makes sure that everything is organized, found, and done correctly. We couldn't have asked for a better person to walk us forward into married life, keeping track of every nuance, contacting every vendor, and protecting our time as we approached the biggest and happiest day of our lives. Erin is truly the best and a master at her craft.
If you’re considering working with her, that very first meeting you will feel the beautiful energy and excitement she shares for what matters most to you - and she’ll make sure that your day is one you’ll never forget.
Any questions?
I cannot say enough incredible things about Erin. Above and beyond does not begin to cover it! Look no further for any of your wedding planning needs.
We hired Erin for our month of coordinator almost 2 years in advance. From the beginning, she was very responsive, informative, kind, and helpful. I am pretty organized, and she consistently thought of questions I didn't! I was very impressed with her demeanor with myself and the rest of our vendors.
Our venue required a pre-approved coordinator, and Erin took the steps to contact them to make sure she would work out, and we are so glad she did!
She did everything she said she would and then some. She reached out to all of our vendors, worked with us on our timeline (many times!), attended our rehearsal, and never got frustrated even when we had a lot going on.
Erin felt more like a friend than a coordinator, and we are so happy we got to spend our special day with her.
Our day went so smoothly from start to finish, and we know this is due to Erin's impeccable attention to detail.
If you are looking to have an incredible day with a crisp timeline and no stress - Erin is your gal!
I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Erin. I planned my wedding over a 2 year period and Erin was there every step of the way helping with vendor selection, timelines, site visits, and any question I could possibly have. She was very timely with her responses, extremely organized, and was always down to jump on a zoom call with me. My wedding would not have been what it was without Erin's help, I feel very lucky to have had her as a day of coordinator!
Working with The Venlist was an incredible experience. They displayed the utmost professionalism, offered invaluable advice, and flawlessly orchestrated our day-of planning. Erin met with us on multiple occasions leading up to our wedding to meticulously schedule vendors and coordinate every aspect of our day. Erin ensured our path to the big day was incredibly seamless and stress-free. Her friendly personality made the entire process enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend their services for your special day.
We used the venlist to book our day of coordinator, Ashley Williams. Ashley was absolutely amazing. She made sure we had everything we needed before and on our big day. She is incredibly organized and punctual. We ran on time all day!! She was very friendly and family and our wedding party loved working with her.
We decided to work with Brittany to plan our wedding in October of 2022. Brittany was a life-saver! She was professional throughout the whole process and took care of every detail of our big day so we could relax and enjoy celebrating with friends and family.
We would highly recommend anyone who is considering a virtual wedding planner to go with Brittany and The Venlist!
The Venlist was amazing to work with. They were extremely professional, gave great advice, and perfectly coordinated our day of planning.
Brittany Smith met with us multiple times prior to our wedding day to schedule vendors and to plan the proceedings down to the second. She is very personable and was lovely to work with. Her staff is equally as endearing and helpful.
I highly recommend utilizing their services for your big day!
Brittany was amazing !
She worked with us for over a year to help make our wedding amazing . Everything was completely virtual but I never felt out of loop with anything. She made sure everything was absolutely beautiful the day of the wedding and made sure I did not have to stress about anything. I completely recommend her for anyone looking for a wedding planner.
The Venlist is absolutely amazing!! Brittany is so professional, helpful, patient and responsive, truly the best to work with! The day could not have gone any smoother, she helped bring our dream wedding come to life and we are so grateful! I absolutely recommend without hesitation. Thank you, thank you!
Erin is super helpful through the planning process! She communicated to our vendors with clear info and instructions. Our wedding day was a huge success with her help!
Brittany was amazing from start to finish! We were completely green on what went into planning a wedding and Brittany made sure to explain everything clearly. She kept us organized and operated in a way that we rarely felt overwhelmed with what was required of us. She has a vast network of different vendors that she can recommend and also took time to find competitive rates with different vendors if needed so we never felt forced to work with anyone. I would recommend Brittany to anyone that needs any level of wedding planning, she truly is AMAZING at what she does. We can’t thank her enough!
Erin Avery was a blessing to me for planning my wedding day. I don’t think I could have done it without her. She took away all my stress and delivered a wedding of my absolute dreams!
Brittany Smith is one of the few coordinators I work with that is absolutely oriented to details, clients’s visions of their special event, the best atmosphere and optimal schedule. Her commitment is inspiring.
Brittanie’s work ethic is amazing, her ideas are fun and her solutions are on point.
I warmly recommend Miss Smith to my friends and clients!
I am so happy I chose The Venlist as our wedding planner! We worked closely with Erin, who was absolutely fantastic. By far the most responsive vendor I worked with throughout the entire wedding process. She was so friendly, organized, and such a pleasure to work with. I would recommend The Venlist to anyone looking for a wedding planner.

We had a wonderful experience with Brittany and Erin, and would highly recommend the Venlist to anyone looking for planning and coordination support in the month leading up to their wedding and on the day of the wedding. We had a 40 person wedding at a chapel in Georgetown and a restaurant reception downtown, and Brittany and Erin were a huge help in the lead up to the big day and on the day itself. Both Brittany and Erin are extremely friendly and competent. You can trust them to follow through on action items and to communicate with your vendors in a professional, friendly manner. We had three great meetings with them in the lead up to the wedding, which was a great way to pinpoint issues, things we hadn't thought of, etc. After our meetings, Brittany and Erin promptly executed tasks, communicated with vendors, created a master schedule for the rehearsal and wedding day, etc., all without any follow-up from us. Brittany and Erin ran our rehearsal with efficiency - they were great interacting with our families, and they had made several site visits to our venues, so they were familiar with all the necessary details and venue contact people. On the day of our wedding, they did an amazing job working with our florist to transform the chapel into exactly the aesthetic we were hoping for. In the gap between the ceremony and reception, they transported flowers from the chapel to the restaurant and did a truly incredible job situating the arrangements on tables, pedestals, etc. - the space looked fantastic. Aesthetics aside, Brittany and Erin did a wonderful job coordinating car services on the day of the wedding, managing the string quartet and processional, etc. Brittany and Erin were a huge part of making everything go off without a hitch. If you're looking for incredibly friendly and competent month-of coordination at a very reasonable price, we highly recommend the Venlist.
I worked with Brittany from The Venlist on a series of styled shoots in Washington, DC. I can't say enough good things about this virtual wedding planning business. Brittany was organized, thoughtful, timely in communication, professional, and extremely calm under pressure. As a wedding photographer, I've worked with many wedding vendors and can recognize when an event is set up for success. Successful wedding planners need skills in time management, communication, and attention to detail. With The Venlist, all of these areas exceeded my expectations. I'd be happy to work with this business again, and I will be recommending them to my friends/clients in the DMV area. Do yourself a favor and reach out to Brittany with your business inquiry!
We did a styled shoot and Brittany was masterful in her coordination of the whole experience. She also does a great job vetting the vendors she works with so everyone involved were very professional and amazing to work with!
My wife and I couldn’t have enjoyed such an amazing and memorable wedding without Brittany’s services. We needed to plan, organize and execute our celebration very last minute. Thankfully, Brittany helped formulate our ideas and lift them into existence with prompt and courteous assistance every step of the way. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out!
The Venlist is hands down AMAZING! We eloped last year in Cali and The Venlist handled EVERYTHING! From finding amazing local wedding vendors to working with my husband and I on virtual meetings, Brittany from The Venlist made our elopement vision a reality. She saved me a lot of stress, money and time! Doesn't get any better than that!

I have a confession to make! My obsession with weddings has been around since I was three. Family and friends can attest to my love for weddings as well! From prancing around in play wedding dresses as a child to perfecting gorgeous weddings for my lovely couples in adulthood, I am all about making a wedding vision come to life.
Crafting a beautiful wedding within budget is my sweet spot because I have 12 years of financial management and wedding planning experience! Other sweet spots of mine are pizza, wine, fudgy chocolate brownies, pinching my hubby’s cheeks, traveling, me-cations, my wonderful parents, sister, and amazing friends!
