Best Events Companies Washington Near Me

Marie Arana: I’ve worked with Decibel before, in my professional role as a book festival organizer, so I trusted their workmanship, efficiency, and integrity when I gave them a personal order. The face masks they designed and produced for me with my special author branding are awesome! I’m recommending them to my publisher. Decibel delivered great quality, friendly service, and a can-do spirit. Doesn’t get better than that.

Lisa Van Wie: Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueDavid and the entire team is phenomenal! We worked together on a virtual tour (8 events), and each event was well run, with amazing coordination done behind the scenes and before each event. Attention to detail was impeccable. Looking forward to working with them again soon!

Alice Lutz: Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, QualityDavid is one of the most top notch professionals I have ever worked with. His ability to calmly manage ; navigate and create an event is flawless.

Shahrzad Nadizadeh: My agency team partnered with Decibel Event Management to execute a number of award-winning experiential programs on behalf of our global hospitality client. David Sonntag and his team expertly managed every detail - from concept to execution - all while remaining nimble enough to adapt to program changes, budgets and unique market demands. What ensued were truly unique, trend-setting campaigns that set the bar for brand engagement and gained nationwide acclaim -- garnering top PR and Marketing awards. Decibel Management is now the first place my team and I look when it comes to our event needs.

Elizabeth Sarrazin: I partnered with the Decibel team in my last role at a communications agency. We needed on-the-ground support all over the U.S. for a variety of events, and David and his team did not disappoint. Through the course of our 18-month partnership, we hosted more than 25 events and hired more than 100 brand ambassadors and they were all fantastic. Highly recommend!

KristenJamal SmithMcWillis: Tiffany is absolutely AMAZING! I am so happy that we found Tiffany. She did an amazing job with helping plan and doing everything on the day of the wedding. Tiffany went through every single detail during the planning process and took the stress out of planning. She has excellent communication skills, is detail oriented, organized, friendly and overall does an amazing job. The whole entire wedding ran so smoothly because of Tiffany. I wish I could give more than 5 stars! I highly recommend Tiffany!

Duane Rollins: On your wedding day, the only thing you really want to focus on is your partner and the loved ones who have come out to support you. Tiffany was the perfect planner to help us do just that. Vendors were on time, everything was in place, and she helped us nail our vision. We could not have asked for a better person to help us plan, coordinate, and execute our wedding. All of our guests commented on how well the wedding ran and how she kept everything in motion (while still being pleasant to everyone). We loved our day and love our planner.

Gracie Epler: I can’t imagine how we would have made it through wedding planning without Tiffany. We started working with Tiffany almost immediately after we got engaged, and wow that was the best decision we made. With both of us working demanding jobs, it was incredibly helpful to have her guidance and support. Whether it was picking vendors, managing the needs and expectations of my divorced parents, mailing and sending save the dates and invitations, or finalizing the minute details, Tiffany was there for us. She was always calm and never ruffled, no matter what new covid guidance came through or what new idea I came up with. And then there was the actual wedding weekend. We had 9 bridesmaids, 8 groomsmen, 2 ring bearers, and 3 families. She managed all of these people perfectly during the wedding weekend, helping to bring our wedding vision alive and keeping all of our wedding party members in line. And let’s be real, that wasn’t easy (especially with our rambunctious friends!). I never had to worry about a single thing that weekend, other than enjoying every moment. She made sure every detail was exactly what I had dreamed of. Thank you, Tiffany, for everything. If anyone is looking for a wedding planner, they HAVE to work with you!

Emilia L: Tiffany did the planning and day-of coordination for our recent wedding and she was simply amazing. People say there are always things that go wrong at a wedding – but if they did, Tiffany must have taken care of it because from our perspective the planning and the day of the wedding were extremely relaxing, and went off without a hitch. Tiffany was extremely patient with how vague we were about everything ALL THE TIME – on the day of the wedding, we basically handed her a whole bunch of décor and a vague plan and said “have at it”- and she made our venue look spectacular. Tiffany is very detail-oriented, which is obviously great during the planning process, but it is particularly awesome on the wedding day itself – she was thinking about things that would never have crossed our minds. Having Tiffany plan and coordinate our event was without a doubt the best planning decision we made, and meant that we were able to properly enjoy not only the day itself, but the time leading up to it, with friends and family. My husband and I are old hands at getting married – we had a previous wedding in Australia which we planned (and had a friend help with coordination on the day). The Australian wedding was also amazing, but having experienced planning a wedding without Tiffany believe me when I say that what she does is absolutely priceless!

Olindi Wijesekera: Tiffany and her team were fantastic, patient, flexible and always available! Our wedding was originally planned for 2020 and had to be re-scheduled twice with a change in venue. She traveled to our wedding in Cleveland and helped find vendors in a different city and had everyone coordinated. She essentially helped plan two separate weddings, stuck with us through all the stress of planning during the pandemic and was available to any and all requests! On the day of the wedding, my family and I cannot think of the day being executed better and it is all because of Tiffany. She had every detail organized-was flexible with last minute changes-and made the entire day go as well as it possibly could. She was an integral part to our wedding coming together. We love you Tiffany, thank you for sticking with us through the whole wedding planning process and making our day as special as possible! <3

Nicole Herrmann: Eddie was fantastic to work with as our wedding coordinator. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and provided us with so much valuable guidance as we planned our big day. He was always available and very responsive to our questions and helped us work through any issues with our vendors. Our wedding day was executed seamlessly with Eddie and he was our biggest advocate and support throughout the planning process – from the first day we reached out to Impact Collective and even now post-wedding, he is still available as we close things out and tie up loose ends. Highly recommend Eddie and his team for your wedding or other event.

Marshall & Nikki: Eddie was a great wedding coordinator. He was by our side from start to beyond the finish line helping us with details big and small as we planned our wedding. He was always available to provide advice or guidance when dealing with vendors or other aspects of the wedding planning. The tools provided by Impact Collective to help plan the wedding were also incredibly valuable to keep you organized and on track towards the big day. Would highly recommend Eddie and his team for your wedding or other event planning.

Noel Domi: IMPACT Collective was the first wedding expense we made and easily one of the best. Eddie Fam and IMPACT worked their magic right off the bat and were able to negotiate down the proposals from venues. From there, we worked with Eddie and the other IMPACT associates to finalize the other wedding details. They’re well connected in DC so finding vendors was easy and we were able to finalize our vendor contracts within a few months. Eddie and his team were in constant contact with us for over a year and we scheduled a minimum of one call per month to ensure everything was timely, which it always. IMPACT was also extremely responsive and addressed our concerns at all hours of the day even for things that were not pressing. Eddie also handled all the matters in the days and weeks leading up to the wedding weekend, so we only handled minor details ourselves – which was already stressful so I couldn’t imagine having to do any more than that. The day of the wedding, he was incredibly helpful, coordinated all communications with the venue and vendors, and ensured everything ran timely and smoothly – it did. I highly recommend IMPACT for couples getting married and looking for a team that will really cater to you as a couple and work to make your wedding vision a reality.

Jillian Brooks: Recently, I was at a wedding that was organized by IMPACT Collective. It was a reception event for a couple that got married in September 2020 and had had to push back the party aspect of their wedding multiple times due to COVID. The night went off without a hitch and Eddie played a huge part in the success of the event. He and his staff were organized, welcoming, and friendly. They were constantly checking in with the bride, groom, and guests to see if there was anything that they needed. It was great to see an event planner with such attention to detail and genuine care for his clients. Thanks to IMPACT, the couple was able to finally get the reception that they deserved.

Jessica Avery: Eddie and the IMPACT Team were incredible! From their helpful online planning portal to their expert knowledge in-person, our wedding day went off without a hitch! They were right there when we needed them and everything ran so in smoothly. Throughout the planning process, we felt heard and supported. We could not have made it through the planning process or wedding day without them. Thank you so much!

Kathryn Powell: For me, working with Eddie really started in 2011 when I interned for him and what is today, Impact Collective. Fast forward to my long-awaited engagement, when choosing him and the Impact team as my planners was a no-brainer. Eddie and his team of rockstars made the entire process so fun and easy! They listened to our vision for a non-traditional reception only and made it come to life, in a brand new space!! I can’t thank them enough for organizing all the vendor information, keeping us on top of tasks, figuring out the perfect event layout and timeline, and ultimately helping us pull off the most fun party we’ve ever been to, let alone hosted. I may be biased but you HAVE to go with Impact Collective - you won’t regret it!!

Kelly Maloney: Jeannette and the entire EVOKE team made the planning process easy and enjoyable from day 1. Jeannette was extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the wedding industry and navigated vendor negotiations seamlessly. From managing vendors to coordinating all elements of our big day, the team poured their heart and soul into our wedding and went above and beyond to bring our vision to life. EVOKE’s innovative perspective and unmatched creativity meant no detail was overlooked! Beyond their unbelievable design skills and impeccable organization, EVOKE’s positive energy and warmth made me feel like I was part of their family. If there were any glitches on the day of our wedding, I certainly didn’t know about them. The EVOKE team was discrete when appropriate, yet very visible when needed. Every bride wants a seamless, anxiety-free wedding day, and EVOKE certainly delivered, with smiles on their faces the whole time.

Lauren Lee Favreau: Our Queen Maestro: Stephanie Economides & Evoke Team Any event is difficult to plan. A wedding is arguably the mother of all events. There are a million decisions to make, endless and easily overlooked details, countless moving parts that all need to follow a strict timeline, and then even with everything obsessively crafted into a plan, the execution requires a composed maestro to pull off seamlessly. Our maestro was Stephanie and she was perfection. Planning From the first phone meeting, to the first in person meeting, we knew we were in exceptional hands. I knew the colors, and a general theme. I hadn’t planned out every detail and cringed at the thought of creating a vision board, I just knew what I liked and didn’t like. I needed someone to present options to evoke the overall feel of what I wanted, without overwhelming me with catalogs of vague choices. I didn’t know what I didn’t know, I’m not in the entertainment industry or network, so I needed a guide to help direct me to what I loved. Timeline Stephanie was our second wedding coordinator, but she stepped in without missing a beat a few months into the process. She quickly established a new working timeline and kept us on track. Her communication was exceptional, with a ready response to any pressing question. She kept a well paced timeline that prevented and avoided any pitfalls. Vendors Part of what you get with Stephanie is not only an amazing, creative soul, but her connections. She introduced us to her top notch vendor list that encompassed every aspect of a wedding. This access could have been a double edged sword as the exceptional list also comes with sometimes exceptional additions to the budget line. However, we had already listed our priorities and our expected budget, and Stephanie expertly guided us to smartly spending where it had the most impact. We have continued to use her vendors for post wedding life events. The Budget The budget can be a significant source of consternation, but Stephanie made it feel easy. Part of the stress with the budget is the sudden appearance of unanticipated costs or the uncertainty of fixed costs. We started out without a line by line budget, with a range dedicated to each budget. It was updated frequently and made clear exactly what to expect. Stephanie readily rolled with our selections, and fostered a comfortable, unpressured climate during these potential high stress decisions. Stress Management Another one of Stephanie’s super powers is her kind, humble approach with her brides. She was ALWAYS there and picked up on any sign of becoming overwhelmed. My phone would ring and I would hear a supportive “Hey, how are you doing…”, and it always fizzled whatever anxiety was bubbling. She makes you laugh and brings you back to the moment of the true purpose of the day - marrying and celebrating your person. The Day Of Stephanie was a ninja genius, a ninjenius. In other words, she and her exceptional team were everywhere, yet invisible. One member of the team would scout the next 2 steps, while Stephanie would anticipate the next 4 steps while expertly handling the immediate event. There was seamless communication among the Evoke team as they worked in the shadows to facilitate every nuance of the day. One of the veteran bridesmaids of 15 weddings commented that it was the most seamless wedding they had been to. This was all due to Stephanie and Evoke’s expert direction. As a bride, I was free to be perfectly present in the moment, and engaged with all of our loved ones. We really wanted the wedding to be a thank you to all our friends and family for joining us for the occasion. Stephanie went above and beyond to make that wish a reality. Even as lengthy as this review is, there are a dozen things I haven’t mentioned that I could go on and on about. If you have the fortune of having Stephanie on your team, you won’t regret it.

Wendy Haig: We have had the pleasure of working with Christine and her team for two events. With each one, she brought fabulously tailored uniqueness, ideas, suggestions, oversight, an enviable Rolodex of other top tier vendors and coordination of all of the endless moving pieces. Her immediate responsiveness, good humor, grace, and poise made our events stand out as the best! There was nothing that she was not prepared for or able to resolve in a moments time. We plan to use Christine and her company again for any event we host and recommend them without any reservations and with the highest respect.

Liz Gitzen: Christine Godsey planned an amazing birthday party for me. Everything was perfect and her attention to detail is impeccable. The decor was exactly what I envisioned and she was there every step of the way during the planning process. If you are looking for a truly professsional experience, look no further. This company delivers! I highly recommend Christine and her experienced team.

Jacob Heltzel: The best corporate event planner in DC!

Lynne Cripe: My husband and I hired Honey & Lavender Events for full-service planning of our 10-year vow renewal. We eloped when we got married and this was our chance to have a wedding-like event that we had promised our family and friends to one-day hold. Maya and her team were AMAZING! They immediately got a sense of our vision and hopes for the event, helped identify a stellar team of vendors, kept us on track in terms of tasks and budget, came up with creative ideas when we were stumped, helped us navigate the vagaries of event planning during a pandemic, and took care of the details so we could enjoy our guests and each other. People asked us if we were stressed in the days prior to our vow renewal and our ability to honestly respond, "No" was all due to the competence and care of Maya and her team. I would hire them again in a heartbeat and would recommend them enthusiastically to others.

joan hadeed: You absolutely need Maya and her team at your wedding. I cannot say enough good things about them. I hired Maya as my day of planner and from a month out from the wedding she was coordinating it all! I was at ease in the weeks leading up to the wedding because Maya was so responsive to all of my vendors and made sure there was a detailed timeline for the weekend. The day of was PERFECT. Maya and her team are so warm, flexible, organized, and professional. I received so many compliments from both other vendors and guests. Everyone says “something” will go wrong on your wedding day. NOTHING went wrong on our day thanks to Honey and Lavender!!

Jennifer Greene Naples: Maya and Juliette planned a garden soiree birthday party for us in the spring. They were fantastic -- timely, knowledgeable, and well-connected. It was a wonderful, WORRY-FREE experience, which was EXACTLY what we wanted. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Honey and Lavender Events, without hesitation, and hope to be able to work with them again in the future! Thank you again for all your help!

Patrick H: Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness

amani cheedalla: Ani and his team at Ace of Events did everything and more to make sure that we had a memorable, fun, and smooth wedding. We really could not have asked for a better team to help coordinate the chaos of the wedding day events! The team was prompt, responsive, helpful, and kind with their service - they helped us coordinate all of the details (from vendors to cleanup) from six weeks before. Thanks to this team, we did not have a single worry during our wedding and I would highly recommend anyone to not hesitate and hire them!

Shahzad Aziz: I can’t thank Ace of Events and Ani enough for making our event so special. I tried five different vendors and he was the first one to respond. His manner and courtesy could not be matched by others. He immediately reached out to other parties helping us with the wedding and took command to make our special day happen. The biggest quality I appreciated about Ani was his humor in keeping us calm when it got to crunch time. Whatever the problem or concern we threw at him; he had a solution. On the day of wedding, we couldn’t believe how everything turned out. It was better than what we had dreamed of. He and his team gave us the trust to engage with our guests without worrying about the catering or sequence of events. In my opinion, Ace of Events is by far the best Wedding Planner/Coordinator in the business. I strongly recommend others to reach out and see how Ace of Events and Ani can make your event special!

Megha Maheshwari: If you are looking for the most amazing wedding vendor in town, look no further and choose Ace of Events! I had a complete Bollywood wedding, which required extensive planning and we had many guests who were coming in from all over the United States and India (hence a great deal of coordination on the day of!). From the get go, Ani, our wedding planner went above and beyond to make sure that the wedding day went off just as I envisioned. He worked countless hours with me on multiple details for day, from timeline coordination to the smallest details for the wedding day. The team even picked up all of our programs and other wedding items from our house a couple days before the wedding, which was absolutely amazing! I cannot express how amazing Ani and his team were! During the wedding time, they made sure the day went off without a hitch and we were all GUESTS at our own wedding, which really took away the stress of the day and allowed us to enjoy the best day of our lives to its fullest capacity! We got so many compliments from guests of how flawlessly the day went and how well coordinated everything was (which is extremely difficult to do with all the events that occur during Bollywood weddings) - all thanks to Ani! I can never thank Ani and his team enough for what he did for our wedding day! Please do not even hesitate to book, Ace of events is so worth it to ensure that the most magical day in your life is TRULY THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE! Thanks a billion for making mine truly one of the best so far, Ani and team!!!!!!!

Jamie Williams: We could not have been happier with our experience with the LAI Live production team. Their expertise in event production allowed us the time to focus on logistics of the event and programming. Would definitely recommend Shannon and her team to any organization looking for assistance in producing their event!

Dru Crawley: Fun event venue, indoor, covered outdoor space. Great for parties

Scott Riser: Surprisingly fantastic venue and attached to Union Market

Frank Mikolajczak: Nice venue. There is not much draw here other than the open canvas and your vision. The scenery is not beautiful or amazing but it allows for a nice city comfort feeling that is hip and trendy. You can really decorate or create whatever environment you want inside the space that offers plenty of room. There is a good Instagram wall around the building for pictures also.

Stephen Walls: Entrance is in the opposite side of the main Union Market entrance

Renee U. Edwards: Every event we have attended has been very nice and classy. For a warehouse space they dress it up so well.

3 OH! 9 Music: Very nice event planning company. Professional and great to work with. Beautiful event planning and execution

Montel Sherwins: What an experience! Truly dedicated team helped make our conference run smoothly and we look forward to next year!

CLP TV: Great team
