Vida Events

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!!

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!

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.

, 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!

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!!

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 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.

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!

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.

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

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 :)

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.

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!!!

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!

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!!!

. 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!

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!

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!

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!

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!!!!

ve to worry about a single thing, Megan and her team were so professional and I cannot recommend them enough!

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!

day was truly perfect and went off without a hitch! The Vida team was super organized and easy to communicate with throughout the planning process and the wedding itself. The wedding was even more beautiful than I could have imagined and it is all thanks to the hard work and dedication of the Vida team!

ilable and worked around my hectic schedule to help me plan the most wonderful wedding. She provided great insight throughout the entire planning process and helped me solidify and make my vision come to life. Her and her team were amazing on the wedding day and took care of everything so my husband and I could enjoy the day without a single worry. I can’t recommend Maria and her team enough.

dding day with minimal stress. She helped to make my wedding day dream come through.

prior to the events and working closely with us during the events the happy couple had a wonderful time. Communication is key and Nancy and Maria were always available to answer questions and provide whatever help and guidance that was needed. During the events, Nancy and her team were on point and available to assist with everything we needed. They definitely went above and beyond to make the weekend celebrations seamless for the bride and groom.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!!

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!

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.

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.

eeks from our big day. However, with booking and initial payment, we immediately began using a website called Aisleplanner that definitely helped to keep us on track throughout planning as far as a year out. Aisleplanner also allowed Maria to periodically check in on us to ensure nothing fell through the cracks. She reviewed and was familiar with all of vendor contracts, which is extremely necessary in making sure your day of timeline is perfect. I’m a pretty organized person/bride, but Maria and her resources really helped us tighten things up and crossing the finish line. She is extremely professional, yet personable and I would recommend her and the Vida team to any bride I know. I’ve spoken to other brides who invested in a full wedding planner who were not even half as organized/structured as Vida with our day of coordination! I never felt as though we got “less than” service for day of coordinating. Maria gives her all to each and every client, despite your planning package! The day of, I was not made aware of one single issue. Maria and her team were on it and made sure everything was taken care of so my husband and I could completely enjoy the day. She was calm, cool and collected which ultimately rubbed off on me. I’m an anxious person, but I was shockingly relaxed on our wedding day because I knew Maria had it under control. If you’re considering Vida for day of coordinating or more, pull the trigger! You won’t regret it.

kly realized the kind of wedding we wanted and the quality of wedding we expected we could not achieve on our own. Working with Cydney was easy, to the point and so much FUN! She handled my detail oriented mind like the pro that she is. And she took every last minute hiccup (including a best man dropping out a week before) and turned it around with confidence and grace. She truly created our fairytale wedding and the day of coordination was flawless. We can’t thank her enough and are so blessed to have had her impeccable taste and eye for weddings helping us plan, design and curate our day. Not to mention the vendor contacts she and her team have were all FLAWLESS as well. I would recommend Cydney and the whole Vida Events team to ANY BRIDE/GROOM.

. She has amazing contacts in the industry that provide great quality service to execute your dream wedding.

e small details so my wife and I could enjoy our wedding and attend to other things. Highly recommend Vida Events.

a venue coordinator and just didn't think I needed help --- fast forward a few months and we decided to move across the country and start new jobs just weeks before our planned wedding date! WOW, PANDAMONIUM! I realized I needed help with design and day of coordination. I interviewed various planners (not because i'm particularly picky, but more because so many people were booked for my date)-- BUT I just didn't connect with anyone else I interviewed. One person I nearly hired would take days to respond to my e-mails and she just didn't seem excited about my ideas. I was so happy Megan reached out to schedule a time to talk. After my first phone visit with her I immediately felt at ease. Working with Megan was like working with your sister or best friend--- she's so great! She's so fun, funny, calm, and encouraging, yet professional. She helped me realize and execute my vision, and I just couldn't believe how gorgeous everything turned out! It was so much more beautiful than I imagined! On the day of our wedding everything ran so smoothly! I felt calm knowing that I had someone on my team to turn to with any question or concern. During our planning journey Megan was so responsive to my every e-mail/text/phone call and she was essential in helping bridge the gaps between vendors. She followed up on things I forgot. If I could do anything differently it would be to hire her earlier and decide to add on her design services earlier. If you think you don't need a planner (like I did), just remember, this is the one day that you don't want to worry or stress about anything -- do yourself a favor and hire Megan!
