Mitchell and Scott hosted their stunning wedding at the St. Regis Hotel in Washington, D.C. Set on a perfect fall day, the backdrop of the White House added an extra layer of prestige to this already regal event.The overall vibe of the day was sleek, timeless, and full of romance! The venue, with its rich history and stunning architecture, needed little decoration — it truly spoke for itself. But hold…did someone say sabrage? Of course, the couple had to honor St. Regis’s signature sabrage ceremony, popping champagne in style and making sure the celebration started with a bang (literally)!

One of the highlights of working with Mitchell and Scott was their intentional decision to work with vendors from the LGBTQ+ community. They took so much pride in supporting diversity, and you could feel that love and inclusivity woven into every detail of the day. The vendors, all true professionals, made this wedding a joy to be a part of, ensuring everything ran smoothly with love and dedication from start to finish.

And let’s talk about the fun details! Louis the Corgi ice cubes? Check. Signature drink named after said Corgi? Absolutely! Plus, Scott’s adorable Corgi cufflinks…it was clear that their cherished dog was with us that night. From sentimental table numbers with personal photos to a jaw-dropping photo backdrop and foam glow sticks that got everyone on their feet, every detail was both sophisticated and playful. It was the perfect balance of elegance and fun, with a few surprises to keep everyone smiling.

I’m so honored to have been part of Mitchell and Scott’s incredible day. Wishing them a lifetime of happiness, love, and plenty more memorable moments ahead! Enjoy these wonderful photos by Shawnee Custalow Studios!

I’ve been hoping to add to The Plannery’s team for some time. But as you may remember before Tarra joined our team… I’m picky as hell. The Plannery is my first baby, and I’m very protective of it. I want to make sure anyone who joins is fully on board with our vibe, our high quality, our no-nonsense approach, and - obviously - gets sh*t done.

Which is why I’m thrilled to announce that Rebecca O’Donnell will be joining The Plannery as a Senior Planner and Coordinator. I’ve been obsessed with Rebecca pretty much since I met her years and years ago. In a sea of sugary sweet (and, frankly, bland) planners, she stood out for how direct and hilarious she was - and after she assisted me for a wedding where I needed help last minute (and also saved my butt), I also discovered that she’s a damned good planner. Very talented, gets it all done, kind and generous, funny, but also will be the driving force you sometimes need when making decisions (or dealing with difficult family or vendors).

Please join me in a hearty “welcome” to Rebecca - and head on over to our updated About page to learn more about her (including her own amazing wedding which I’m pretty much obsessed with). And don’t forget to check out our updated testimonials page to hear what clients say about her (and you can also always visit her old Wedding Wire page to see some reviews from past clients there as well!).

Rebecca, The Plannery is SO lucky to have you and cannot wait for all the sh*t we’re gonna get done for couples in 2019 :)
