Where to begin! From the first conversation I had with Kylie and Megan at Vida, I knew they were the only option for a wedding planning team. It was the best decision we could’ve m...
ade. From the jump, they were genuine, transparent and brought an energy that gave me such confidence that we’d throw a spectacular wedding with their support and expertise.
Kylie was there for us through it all — the early morning calls and late texts trying to nail down decisions both big and small. I never once felt overwhelmed because I knew I could turn to Vida for help.
Vida is a team of professionals and they have relationships and knowledge of the DMV area that made our wedding 100x better than it would’ve been without them.
When it came to the day of, we were managing some tricky weather decisions but I was able to enjoy my day, stress-free because I knew Vida had my back and would do whatever it took to give us the wedding we envisioned! Vida is truly the best ❤️ and we had countless people tell us it was the most seamless wedding they’d been to. The best part, is that it felt like working with friends who were as excited about your wedding as you are. Thank you Vida!!!!!
Megan, Kylie, and Risse were incredible wedding planners and even better friends to us for the last two years. They stuck with us through multiple setbacks finding venues, or chall...
enges with vendors. Each issue that came up they handled so efficiently and effectively we didn't even know there was a problem before it was solved. They had vision for each element in our wedding, taking our rough ideas and turning them into something better than our wildest dreams. Finding good planners for our wedding was critical because of how busy we were. They kept us as involved as we wanted to be. And then the day of the wedding we didn't have to worry about a single thing because they had it handled. They even went so far as to run to grab the veil I forgot in our room, minutes before I had to walk down the aisle. They made the difficult process of planning and executing a wedding look easy. Hiring this crew is the best decision you could possibly make.
Our love and gratitude for Megan and Risse is truly endless.
We truly could not have pulled off our wedding without them. They guided us through every aspect of the planning pr...
ocess and made sure every detail of our special day was exactly what we had dreamed of. Their attention to detail, communication, and genuine care gave us complete confidence that everything was in the best hands.
They are not just incredible wedding planners, which of course they are, but they are incredible human beings who we feel so blessed to have had by our side on our special day. We cannot recommend them highly enough, and we will always be grateful for everything they did to make our wedding absolutely perfect.
Wow where do I start with Vida Events! We originally discovered Vida when they had planned our good friend’s STUNNING wedding. When it came to our own wedding planning we were in w...
ay over our heads and didn’t know where to start but I knew it had to be with them. They made the planning process organized, easy, and pretty much a breeze and we couldn’t have been more thankful. Kylie, Risse, and Megan were all involved our meetings and gave us input. I felt 100% supported by them all.
Kylie is absolutely brilliant, amazing, and a true expert in her craft. Not only did she literally handle every single hard task that comes with wedding planning, she was also there for us emotionally. It’s a stressful time that comes with a lot of emotions and we formed a bond with her beyond just planner and client. She is friendly, funny, and we genuinely enjoyed all of our time spent with her. She answered my every question and “but what about this”’s at any given point. She loved all of our quirky ideas and was always game to do something fun. She took all of our ideas and dreams and turned it into something even better and we are going to spend the rest of our lives thinking about and showing others our wedding. Risse was also a superstar and my saving grace. My mom forgot her rehearsal dinner dress and Risse quite literally went to the store to get her a dress. Not to forget that her and Kylie were offering her their dresses, even the ones they were wearing. How amazing are they??
We often talk about how much we seriously could not have done it without Vida and I could talk about it forever. It was by far the best investment we made for our wedding (and possibly life lol). Our wedding was seamless thanks to them. We cannot recommend them enough. In fact, I recommend them every chance I get. Thank you Vida from the very bottom of our hearts!! <3
The Vida Events team is unmatched! Choosing a wedding planner is such a huge decision and after talking to the team, I quickly felt like it was a perfect fit. Shortly after working...
with them, we knew it was the right decision. From start to finish, they were all extremely incredible to work with, super organized and professional, and so fun to get to know throughout the process.
We are so grateful to have gotten the chance to work with the Vida team and are sad that the weekly calls are over now that our wedding weekend has passed. The time working with them truly flew by because they made the process that enjoyable. I looked forward to calls and emails and felt like the pace of planning was perfect- they made it manageable and never too stressful. Working a full time job while wedding planning, I couldn't be more appreciative of how they handled every vendor email and were flexible with scheduling calls around our schedule. They worked around the clock to make our weekend what it was, which did not go unnoticed and we cannot say thank you enough for that.
Onto the design- this team is extremely talented and creative!! They listened to our ideas and made our wedding feel like us. They even pushed me out of my comfort zone at times, which I'm so grateful for because it made the overall experience and outcome extraordinary. Their philosophy from the start was to design a unique wedding suited to the couple, not a cookie-cutter one you see online, and that truly came to life. It was so special to hear guests say to us "wow this feels exactly like the two of you". That's what a wedding should be, and that would not have been possible without this team.
Our wedding weekend had many hurdles because of the weather, but the team handled it all seamlessly to the point that the guests didn't even know plans had changed. We couldn't imagine the day without them, and they made our vision come to life. I love that Vida truly embodies a team spirit and that we got the chance to work with multiple planners throughout the process even though one was the lead- Kylie did a fantastic job, so thoughtful, organized, intentional and most importantly fun to spend time with. She never made us feel stressed or behind and always knew how to make us laugh. This is something I wouldn't have known to look for in a planner but am so thankful that we were extremely blessed with someone so calm and positive who constantly reminded us about the reason for the wedding - which is the whole point of it all.
It is truly such a special culture the Vida Events Team has created, I'm looking forward to having lifelong friends in each of them. Wedding planning is not just a job to them; it is so obvious they all care about their couples, developing relationships, and putting intention behind everything they do to make others feel good. Thank you all for your hard work for us and our families. Cannot recommend Vida Events enough!!!!
The first thing I tell anyone who gets engaged is this: hire Vida Events. Seriously.
Wedding planning is overwhelming in ways you don’t expect, but from day one, Risse, Megan, and...
Kylie made everything feel seamless and stress-free. I was a Type A bride who thought I only needed a day-of coordinator – I was humbly wrong. Having Vida guide us from start to finish was invaluable.
Vida are truly experts – they have strong, genuine relationships with the top vendors in the area, and are organized to the highest degree. We never had to chase an email, never felt out of the loop, never felt pushed to step out of our budget, and ALWAYS knew we were in capable hands.
When two *major* vendor emergencies came up within two months of our wedding, Vida proved exactly why they’re the best. They mobilized immediately – group chat (and Diet Cokes) included – and handled everything with calm confidence and professionalism. On our wedding day, we had *zero* stress – not because nothing could have gone wrong, but because we trusted Risse and Kylie fully. We were able to be fully present, soak in every moment, and enjoy the day we had dreamed of – which is completely priceless!
The Vida team is impeccably organized, deeply connected, and immensely creative, but most importantly, they truly care. Planning with Vida Events felt like working with friends who just happen to be exceptional at what they do. They are worth every penny, and we are so incredibly grateful they were part of our story.
We had the absolute best experience with Vida Events as our coordinators! Megan and her assistant, Cydney, were truly incredible. From the moment the day began, they kept everythin...
g perfectly on schedule while still making sure I felt relaxed and stress-free.
They handled all of our décor setup beautifully and coordinated seamlessly with every vendor, which meant the entire day ran flawlessly behind the scenes. I never had to worry about a single detail—they were on top of everything with professionalism, warmth, and genuine care for making our wedding perfect.
I can’t recommend Megan, Cydney, and the entire Vida Events team highly enough. They made our day smooth, joyful, and absolutely unforgettable!
I hired Vida for events management about 6 months out from the big day and my only regret is that I wish I hired them for full planning. To set the scene: I was feeling very lost i...
n the planning process because you just don’t know what you don’t know! Enter Risse and Vida Events. Risse was my wedding wing woman, hype girl, low-key therapist, sounding board and safe place for all the crazy ideas and stressful logistics that come with wedding planning. She went above and beyond to help me wrangle the ping-ponging thoughts and streamline the planning process.
During our planning sessions, Risse was always organized, kept the to-dos digestible and made planning fun. She went out of her way to help me brainstorm and execute any small or large ideas. Risse would always send texts/emails of encouragement, reminders, and follow-ups - the time and effort she put in to help a bride drowning in indecision and procrastination was lifesaving. She would help find solutions to any problems and no question was left unanswered (even when I was exhibiting unhinged behavior such as considering changing the color scheme a month out or deciding to order linens two weeks out – nightmare fuel, I know). She always met my stress with serene energy – her patience and kindness is unmatched.
Leading up to the wedding, Risse took charge of communications with vendors and any details, which was incredible because no one can prepare a bride for the final weeks before the wedding. On the day of, Risse made sure that I was drinking water, eating food, that I had everything I needed, and kept us on track with the timeline – all while talking to vendors, perfecting the ballroom, and helping turn the venue into the most romantic space I’ve ever seen! The entire wedding day was absolutely stunning. I know I must be leaving things out, but all in all, we couldn’t have asked for a lovelier person (and team) to be a part of the most important and beautiful moment of our lives! THANK YOU RISSE AND VIDA EVENTS. HIRE THEM IMMEDIATELY!
Vida Events was the thread that tied the whole day together. It was such a peace of mind knowing they were in charge and every detail looked after. Could not have had a better wedd...
ing and I credit their coordination and execution. If you want a whole vibe and vision, choose Vida!
I found Megan from Vida Events through a friend who had hired her for her wedding in Venice, Italy! I was the maid of honor for this event and spent a chunk of time with Megan and ...
assistant the morning of the wedding. It was easy to tell that she cared A LOT about her work, and she did everything she could to make sure things ran smoothly without causing ANY additional stress to the bride and groom. I told her in Italy that I would hire her for my wedding if and when we got engaged, and that’s exactly what we did! We booked her full service package without considering any other planning service, and I’m so glad we did, because I personally would have been lost without her. She was patient and communicative when I felt anxious or frazzled, and helped keep everything organized and on track. Our families kept asking if they could help with anything throughout the planning process and were so confused when we told them “no” over and over - I had to explain to them that Megan and her team have taken care of everything so that they don’t have to. We were all able to enjoy our day without worry or having to do any ‘heavy lifting,’ and for that, I am so grateful!! She also helped keep our budget on track (I would have gone haywire had it not been for her) which my now husband very much appreciated. 😅 Thanks again to Megan and team from Vida Events, I feel like I’ve made a friend for life and I’m so sad that our time working together has come to an end!! ❤️❤️❤️
Kylie was our Vida Events coordinator for our March 2025 wedding and we can not recommend her and her team enough! The minute she stepped in, she took all of the stress off of our...
shoulders and took over all of the communications with our other vendors. Not only was she amazing at what she does, but she was so nice and easy to work with. She made sure our vision was executed perfectly and she went above and beyond for us on our wedding day to make sure we had the best time. Highly recommend!!
Arika and Megan were so great to work with while planning our wedding! We always felt ahead of schedule and everything went seamlessly on the day. Arika was great when it came to c...
ommunicating to all of our vendors and making sure everyone went home with the correct items so that nothing was lost! Highly recommend using Vida Events for your big day!
We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner! From start to finish, Megan was absolutely incredible. Her communication skills were top-notch—she was always available to answ...
er our questions, no matter how small, and kept us updated every step of the way.
Her organizational skills are truly unmatched. Megan managed every detail with precision, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. She is a master of logistics and planning, juggling multiple vendors and schedules seamlessly, which allowed us to fully enjoy the process without feeling overwhelmed.
One of the highlights of working with her was her creative style and thoughtful advice. She had so many innovative ideas that perfectly complemented our vision and made our wedding unique and personal. Whether it was choosing décor, creating timelines, or offering vendor recommendations, her expertise shone through in every decision. Wedding planners are truly indispensable in this aspect, as their experience speaks to how they can offer their insight into this overwhelming process.
On the wedding day, she was nothing short of a miracle worker. Megan handled every situation behind the scenes with such grace and efficiency that we didn’t even know there were any challenges until after the day was over! She ensured that everything went off without a hitch, allowing us and our guests to enjoy a stress-free celebration. If you want your families to be able to enjoy your big day, hire Megan and her team. Their professionalism is unmatched.
If you’re looking for someone who is calm under pressure, incredibly talented, and deeply committed to making your special day perfect, I can’t recommend Megan enough. She exceeded our expectations in every way and made our wedding an unforgettable experience! My biggest regret is not hiring Megan to plan my entire wedding. If you have the means to do so, I would highly recommend getting her involved from the beginning of the experience. The first thing you need to do after getting engaged is hiring a wedding planner, full stop. Before you choose venues or other vendors. This is speaking from personal experience as a SUPER Type A Bride, your wedding planner can make or break this experience. Your wedding budget should include your wedding planner more so than anything else if you want a truly seamless wedding planning experience.
Working with Vida Events was the best decision we could have ever made! We were lucky enough to have Kylie as our planner and she was truly a blessing. Kylie is organized, creative...
, gifted, and so much more. She made the whole wedding planning process a breeze and insanely fun! Working with Kylie truly felt like working with a close friend, which made wedding planning even more enjoyable. My husband and I constantly talk about how we could have never planned a wedding without her. She went above and beyond with every single aspect of planning. Kylie knows all things there are to know about weddings, there was no situation she could not handle. She truly knew our vision better than we did, and brought it to life with ease.
Her consistent communication and beautifully unique ideas made the wedding planning process an absolute breeze. The most important thing to us was being stress-free on our wedding day, and Kylie made that effortless. My husband and I truly had zero worries throughout the whole process, especially on the day of. Having a planner as detailed and skilled as Kylie allowed us to truly enjoy our day. She made our wedding day beyond special. She ensured we built in time on the day of for just my husband and I to soak everything in and truly put us first throughout everything.
Being stress free on your wedding day is one thing, but being stress free throughout the whole wedding planning process is another thing. The only reason we were both is because of Kylie. We could not thank her enough for everything she did for us!
We had the pleasure of hiring Vida Events (specifically Risse) to coordinate the day of our wedding. The lead up and execution of our wedding couldn't have been more flawless and r...
elaxing. Risse and her team went above and beyond our expectations. Their responsiveness to our questions and concerns was spectacular! Anyone who is hosting a wedding in the DMV, definitely hire Vida Events (and ask for Risse!) 10/10 recommend and worth EVERY PENNY!!
We cannot recommend Risse enough! From the very beginning, she made our wedding planning experience so much easier and stress-free. Her attention to detail was incredible—she worri...
ed about every little thing so we could focus on enjoying our special day.
Risse was always available to answer our questions and provided invaluable guidance throughout the entire process. Her creativity and organization truly brought our vision to life, and her calm demeanor kept us at ease, even during the most hectic moments (including a runaway dog).
Thanks to Risse, we were able to relax and savor every moment of our wedding day. If you're looking for a planner who genuinely cares about her clients and goes above and beyond, Risse is the one! Thank you, Risse, for making our day absolutely perfect!
Where to begin! From the first conversations with Megan, we knew she/Vida Events was the best wedding planner choice we could make. As a chronic “planner” with little knowledge on ...
where to start when it comes to wedding planning (a scary combination for me!) it was important that our planner be organized, knowledgeable, and willing to field my many questions to help us make our vision come to life. Megan did just that, and made the process FUN amidst all the to-do’s. She helped us navigate the many vendor selections/contracts/planning convos, absolutely rocked the event design, and took so much stress off us and our families— all with a patience, honesty, and professionalism I can’t highlight enough.
I strongly recommend Vida Events to all couples planning their wedding — not only for the tactical planning piece, but the emotional support and encouragement as well.
My husband and I had a fantastic experience working with Megan at Vida Events! Megan is incredibly kind and always makes you feel like her top priority. She is relatable, honest, a...
nd felt more like a good friend. Megan provided multiple price options for vendors, ensuring we stayed within our budget or confirming we were comfortable if we exceeded it. Her impeccable taste in all things wedding-related made her advice invaluable. Megan was very patient as we figured out the details of our wedding, such as the number of guests and the location. She emailed numerous resorts worldwide and didn't mind the extra effort. For our destination wedding in The Bahamas, Megan expertly organized and coordinated with vendors and the resort. She even traveled to the resort with us to ensure everything was perfect, allowing us to relax and enjoy time with our friends and family. Megan's hard work made our wedding amazing, and we will always appreciate her!
Cydney, Megan, Kylie and Risse are the real MVPs. Finding the right planning team for your big day can be overwhelming and we’re so glad that we found them. Supportive, flexible, p...
atient and full of energy- they truly know how to make magic happen. They did a great job of making us feel seen, respected and heard as we planned for our big day. We ended up using their month-of package which was perfect for us. Having worked with them, I’d also 100% trust working with them for a full planning package as well.
To Vida Events & especially our Arika,
Thank you for planning one of the most important and special days of our lives. The wedding day was beautiful and it was SO FUN. Nic & I wer...
e lucky to have a planner who only said YES and always had a smile on her face. Her approach was like a loving older sister who wanted the best for you and did everything she could to set you up for success. She is warm, diligent, and wildly professional. She made me feel like I was the only bride she was planning a wedding for. Also, I am a type A, has to be done my way, kind of person and having her to put my trust in was incredible. Everything was just as planned and she was ALWAYS two steps ahead of me when I would start to begin my double check to do list haha. We loved being able to celebrate our day with our favorite people because we never had to think of logistics. Choosing Vida was the best decision and I would choose them again, and again.
Love you all,
Nic & Dana Drury
Vida Events provided day of coordination for our wedding and we can't thank them enough! Our wedding day was an absolute dream - Risse did a fantastic job at making sure every deta...
il was perfect. She was incredibly responsive and super organized. She and Megan are the very best and I would recommend Vida to anyone looking for a seamless and beautifully executed wedding day! You will be in the best hands :)
Megan and Vida Events were fantastic. I highly recommend! While I’m very organized and detail oriented, the days leading up to the wedding and day of coordination would have gone c...
ompletely sideways without Megan. First off, I would have made the worst timeline and wouldn’t have known how early I needed to start without Megan. She knew exactly how long everything would take. I also woke up in the middle of the night before the wedding freaked out about whether I should allow phones at the ceremony. Megan strongly suggested not to and sent examples of what could happen in the photos (phones in the air). Im so glad I took her advice. She absolutely saved my pictures!! Another great example of Megan’s excellence was when the flower vendor brought the wrong candles for the ceremony (we couldn’t have a real flame). Megan had her game face on and sent the vendor right back (across town through the canals of Venice Italy mind you!) to pick up the correct candles! They made it back in time for the ceremony. Lastly, Megan has a great eye. I would ask her for design suggestions along the way and didn’t have a shred of worry when she was helping the vendors set up. I knew she had it. I can’t sing her praises enough.
My husband and I had our wedding at the Willard InterContinental in Washington DC on September 3rd, 2023, and it was everything we hoped for! When we initially spoke to Meghan, we ...
had tons of questions and Meghan was so pleasant and was more than willing to answer any questions we had. After interviewing a few vendors, we decided to go with VIDA! Risse was our lead planner, and it was SO great working with her. We were nervous since we had such a large headcount of about 300 people, but she ensured us that her team could handle it. She gave us tips and tricks leading up to the wedding and jumped on weekly calls to make sure the planning process was going smoothly. Risse was so kind, and you can tell she really loves what she does! Her positivity and calm nature made the entire process seamless. The day of the wedding could not have been more perfect. Risse created a very detailed timeline, and everything went according to plan. When we got back to our hotel suite that evening (or morning haha!) we found our guest book, card box etc. all packed by Risse and her team. After the wedding, we had family calling to tell us it was such a beautiful wedding and they were so shocked at how organized everything was, especially with a wedding of our size! The only complaint was that the wedding day went by too fast! Thank you to Risse and VIDA for making our day so magical! Make sure to book them for your big day!!!
Megan is absolutely amazing and we were so lucky to work with her on our wedding reception/anniversary celebration! I started planning with a somewhat vague vision (jewel tones and...
fall-inspired), and Megan helped us create a celebration more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. Every vendor she recommended was exceptional. Knowing my husband and I adopted our pets and we passionately support rescue organizations, she suggested a seating/escort wall featuring adoptable dogs and cats! It represented us perfectly, and most importantly, supported the rescue organization we worked with to adopt our dog, Koda. Megan was truly wonderful to work with throughout the entire planning process and the day of our celebration was flawless and stress-free. Thank you, Megan and Vida Events!
I cannot thank Megan enough for helping to design and execute my daughter’s vision for her wedding day. Through many trials and tribulations, out of our and her control, Megan neve...
r wavered and confidently assured me everything would be ok. And boy was she right! All I had to do on the day of the wedding was show up and be BLOWN AWAY. She coordinated with our amazing vendors to create the most stunning space. It was PERFECT. Thank you Megan! You’re the best!!!
Megan and team were an absolute delight to work with! Their familiarity with the venue and wedding planning portal made the wedding planning process simple and easy from the get-go...
. In the lead up to our wedding, Megan was timely, always up to date on the latest, and willing to step in at any time to simplify or get things done. I truly don’t know what we would have done without Vida Events, and I thoroughly recommend working with them!
We worked with Maria and Nancy for our March 2023 wedding, and I could not recommend them enough! Both were extremely responsive to my questions during the planning process and Nan...
cy was amazing on the day of the wedding. She handled every little detail perfectly, and so many of our guests complimented her and her work at the end of the night. We truly wouldn’t have had such a perfect day if it wasn’t for the Vida team! I would highly highly recommend them to anyone!
We are so happy with our decision to work with Vida Events! Cydney was our lead planner and we had the best experience. Cydney was extremely helpful, professional, talented and fri...
endly. I felt very comfortable going to her with our many questions. The day of our wedding was stress-free and our vision was beautifully executed down to the smallest details. Highly recommend!
Where do I begin?! Words can hardly express how incredible our experience working with Kylie with Vida Events was! Planning a wedding for 250 people at a private estate is not for ...
the faint of heart but thank goodness we had Kylie. She helped us strategize each step of the process while listening to all of our needs and wants. She understood our vision to a tee and made it become reality in a way that was far better than we ever could have imagined. She helped us with scheme and source every single detail, down to elements we never knew would have thought about but now looking back, absolutely needed. She is great navigating vendors, families and guests, ensuring everyones voices are heard but the vision of the event remains true.
The whole planning was a breeze - I was never once was stressed because I knew we were in such good hands. Trusting someone to execute such an important day takes a lot of blind faith and if I could work with Kylie again, I would do it 10x over. I will absolutely be hiring her to help plan my next event, that is once I come down from the high of the best wedding ever! I'm so grateful to have been able to work with her, and the Vida team!
We used Megan with Vida Events to plan our wedding this past June and she did such an INCREDIBLE job. We could not have done it without her! She orchestrated the absolute PERFECT d...
ay and made sure that my husband and I didn’t have to deal with any of the stressful parts of wedding planning. The day itself was seamless and because of Megan, we were able to just relax and enjoy the day knowing that she had everything under control. We highly recommend Megan and Vida Events!!!!
We booked Megan for partial planning for our wedding on 6/24/23. She made the whole process leading up to the wedding so stress-free for us! On the day of the wedding, I did not ha...
ve to worry about a single thing, Megan and her team were so professional and I cannot recommend them enough!
Megan is absolutely AMAZING!! We hired her in April of 2022 and our wedding was set for June 2023 so we had plenty of time to plan. We live in San Diego and were planning our weddi...
ng in my hometown in Virginia, so we felt like a full service wedding planner was the way to go. Megan did all the leg work in finding vendors, meeting them at the venue for walk throughs and making sure everything was taken care of since I wasn’t able to be there. She was so responsive throughout the year when I would randomly send her ideas or questions. Somehow, she kept everything so organized and made sure we were on track. She listened to me and really took the time to understand what I was envisioning while offering ideas that made it even better than I could have imagined!
In March of 2023, my mother-in-law was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. We immediately decided to move the wedding to San Diego so that she could be there while going through chemo. I called Megan with the news and she didn’t even hesitate. She went into full gear with cancelling all of our Virginia vendors and started planning our new San Diego wedding with just two months to go. I still don’t know how we did it but I know that it wouldn’t have been possible without Megan!
My mother-in-law passed away in early April and I wasn’t able to assist Megan much in the way of wedding planning for that month. But she kept the ball rolling and kept me updated on everything.
Megan flew out to San Diego for our big day and ensured that the wedding was completely stress free for us. I truly didn’t have to lift a finger! She hadn’t even seen the property in real life (we rented an Airbnb and did a backyard wedding) but was able to make it absolutely perfect.
I can honestly say that out of everything we paid for to make our day perfect, hiring Megan was worth it more than anything else.
Thank you so much Megan, for making our wedding absolutely flawless!

WOW! Where do I start? The moment I met Megan I knew she was the person that I had to have for my wedding. To know her is to love her! Megan is a professional who has years of wedd...
ing experience. She kept me organized and had great ideas throughout the whole wedding process. Anything I needed she was there to help!
My husband and I got married at The Breakers hotel in West Palm Beach. She traveled there and was such a key component to our wedding day. Both our families credit her for how relaxed the day was. Megan was there to hold my dress, tie my bouquet, coordinate the car. Before I could think of things she had already covered it.
Megan is a great wedding planner but an even better friend! Thank you so much Megan for everything. We love you and will never stop recommending you!
My wife and I had a perfect, beautiful destination wedding thanks to our wedding planner, Megan, and her team at Vida Events. No detail was left behind thanks to the tireless work ...
Megan was able to put in. My wife and I were left in awe during our Sangeet and Wedding day.
Our wedding was a multi-day Indian event being held at Atlantis, Bahamas. We hired Megan about 8 months before our wedding date after my wife discovered the Vida Events page on Instagram. From day one of planning, Megan took full responsibility of dealing with all our vendors (food, design/flowers, make up, mehndi, DJ, officiant, photographer, etc.). Megan was very accommodating in scheduling video calls with us to discuss our budget and exactly how we wanted the wedding to be designed. Dealing with vendors, especially during a destination wedding in a foreign country, can be difficult to say the least. Megan was our trustworthy and experienced planner who helped navigate us through all of that and ultimately delivered the most beautiful wedding my wife and I could have dreamed of. Hiring Megan took away 90% of the stress in dealing with our wedding and I am already recommending her to all our friends and family. Thank you again Megan at Vida Events and we hope to see you again at our next family wedding.
Nancy is an amazing wedding coordinator. Throughout the entire process, Nancy was professional, flexible, and organized. She ensured the details came together beautifully on our we...
dding day. Nancy checked in with my husband and I on our wedding day and handled questions and unexpected issues with ease. We really appreciated Nancy’s relaxed personality and thoughtfulness. She genuinely connected with our guests and maintained a positive and friendly attitude. My family is still raving about how well Nancy made sure the events flowed smoothly on our wedding day. It was so fun to work with her and truly an experience we will never forget. Including Vida Events in your special day is one of the best decisions you can make as a couple!
Cydney from Vida Events was an absolute life saver with our wedding. Without her and the Vida Events team, our wedding would not have been as flawless as it was. Cydney was profess...
ional, timely, always quick to respond and made sure all of our requests were fulfilled. Cydeny provided a detailed timeline and asked all the right questions, even ones we weren't thinking about, to make sure our special day was exactly as we envisioned it. Most importantly, Cydney made us feel at ease and confident about a potentially stressful day. Having Vida Events at your wedding is a must!
Megan with Vida Events was the absolute best of the best. We couldn't have asked for a better planner for our wedding day and the months leading up to it. She was there at all hour...
s for advice, vendor communication and recommendations, and just general support. The wedding day flowed perfectly due to her scheduling, professionalism, and attention to detail. We wholeheartedly recommend Vida Events and would choose them over and over and over again!
The Vida Events team was so wonderful to work with from the beginning! When I had initially booked them, I thought Megan would be the person I would be working with for my wedding ...
given all the amazing reviews I saw. However after some follow ups and clarification, she informed me that I would be working with another member on her team that does month-of coordination/wedding planning. Megan connected me with Kylie on her team and assured me that she would do a phenomenal job, and she was totally right! Kylie's bubbly personality with a hint of assertiveness, flexibility, responsiveness, consistent communication and recommendations leading up to my wedding and day-of truly made our wedding day perfect! I'm a pretty organized and OCD person, so I was on top of a lot of things but Kylie's industry experience and knowledge was super helpful in keeping me in check on the small things or things that I wouldn't think of. She was truly a big and even main contributor to making sure everything ran smoothly and to be honest perfectly the day of with all the coordination across multiple vendors - I didn't see one even hiccup or issue! I highly recommend booking Vida Events and Kylie for your wedding planning/coordination! Thank you again to the Vida Events team for being a part of our wedding experience, couldn't have done it without y'all!
Vida events is absolutely amazing! I had my initial phone call with Megan & immediately had positive vibes. My husband & I were blessed to be working with Cydney. She was extremely...
helpful & such a pleasure to work with! She truly helped bring my vision to life ( it was actually even better than I could have imagined). I can truly say I was 100% stress free on my wedding day thanks to Cydney & her assistant Sarah. It's amazing what a great job they did & my wedding wouldn't have gone as smooth as it did if it wasn't for them!
Absolutely AMAZING!!
Trust me, you need a Day-of-Wedding Coordinator!!
My wedding planner, Cydney, was an amazing planner! My contract started one month before my wedding, and sh...
e gave me a lot of advice so I did my wedding so much better than I thought and expected.
On the day of the wedding, you really don't have any time to think about the timeline. However, Cydney was perfect at controlling everything, so I was really comfortable and I was focused on other things.
I was really worried about my wedding day, however it will be amazing and smooth if you have her!!
Highly recommend!
Vida Events has the BEST PLANNERS! I am so grateful to have met Maria through various events as my husband and I are in the industry as well. After meeting various planners through...
events, we knew that we wanted to hire Vida Events for our own wedding on 10/29. Maria makes the experience so easy from the moment you submit your inquiry. Any time I was stressed about the wedding, Maria would quickly put me at ease. She is extremely patient and she is on top of EVERYTHING, which easily calmed my nerves. On the day of the wedding, my coordinators Gracie & Keri were phenomenal! They were so amazing that they stepped in when they were needed even if it wasn't their job. They were a huge reason why our wedding became a dream come true. Hiring Vida Events was the best decision we made for our wedding. We couldn't have done it without them!
Truth be told, I have long admired Megan + Vida Events. Upon college graduation, I often dreamed of a day where I might be privileged enough to work for Vida, as my degree is in ho...
spitality and event management. My professional path led me elsewhere, so that once dream of mine never quite came true.
Instead, I have had the honor to work alongside Megan + Vida Events in the wedding industry, which has turned out to be so much sweeter! When my own sister (and very best friend, Claire) became engaged, there was not any question in who I would entrust with Claire's 'best day ever'.
Megan + her team are undoubtedly passionate, brilliant, and steadfast in their work. The attention they give to the tiniest of details is just as meticulous as the attention given to the big things. I will never be able to adequately put into words how gracious I am for all that this team is and does. My highest personal and professional recommendations are with them; you simply will never be disappointed.
In the beginning wedding planning stages, I knew that I wanted to reach out to a planner to help me. Luckily, we knew just who that would be! We had the pleasure of working alongsi...
de Megan with Vida Events, and I truly cannot sing enough praises to her. Her professionalism, communication, organization, and so on, were unmatched. Any questions I had, she had the answer for me and if she didn’t, she would find it for me. She wasn’t “just a wedding planner” either. She was there for me every step of the way to make sure I had everything I needed to have the most beautiful wedding imaginable!! If you are looking for a wedding planner, look no further!! Vida Events will wow you in every possible way!! I truly cannot thank Megan and her team enough for all that she did for us!!
Having Maria to coordinate our two day wedding was one of the best decisions we could’ve made! Even though this was Maria’s first Ismaili Muslim wedding to coordinate, she and her ...
team were great! It’s not uncommon for large Muslim weddings to run behind schedule, but Maria and her team made sure that not only were we on time, we were almost always running 10-15 minutes ahead of schedule! Maria was always available for us, regardless of whatever she had going on! She would respond to texts promptly and communicate with vendors on our behalf. I truly believe that without Maria and her team, our wedding would not have gone as smoothly as it did. She is wonderful, kind, patient, and was so delightful to work with!
Incredibly happy with the decision to work with Cydney of Vida events for our April 2022 wedding. She listened to our ideas and was patient and supportive while we asked questions ...
and was able to make our vision come to life. She was very responsive, very clear, and communicative. We felt lighter and supported after every planning meeting. When one vendor miscommunicated their needs, Cydney was able to collaborate and work together with everyone to rectify the situation. The planning system used were very clear and provided incredible guidance. Vida events made a big difference in making my wedding run smoothly and looked beautiful.
Megan was a wonderful addition to the planning of our wedding. With her help, we successfully transformed our dreams into a reality. Vida Events is a wonderful choice if you're loo...
king for a personalized planner with an eye for detail who can execute your vision. She takes the time to get to know you and form a friendship that becomes the strong foundation. From good vendor recommendations to running all the behind the scenes the day of, we could trust Megan to support us. Her excitement, creativity, humor, candor, insights, and effort were extremely helpful throughout the process. We look forward to continuing to recommend Vida Events to others and collaborating on events in the future.
