I wish I could get married again just to spend more time with Carice and Pinnacle Affairs! As a wedding planner myself, I definitely am pickier than most when it comes to my vendors, but Carice exceeded my wildest dream. She went above and beyond her role as officiant and stepped in silently and seamlessly to fill any gap she saw throughout the day. She coordinated my rehearsal, sewed my dad's bow tie minutes before the ceremony, delivered a stunning ceremony and vow exchange, and effortlessly conducted the chaos around us, all the time with a beaming smile on her face. I will always be indebted to Carice for making my wedding the absolute dream that it was!

Hali and Leila made our wedding day run so seamlessly at a non-traditional venue. Hali was fantastic to work with prior to the wedding and listened to and executed exactly what we envisioned. We were truly able to step away from the operations and be fully present with each other, our families, and friends. Everything was set up beautifully and tended throughout the evening, and I had no idea when vendors arrived, setup, and left. I even learned after the fact that they ingeniously fixed the ceremony decor that kept falling over in the wind. They also managed to run a magic dessert table that was constantly full despite so many people taking cupcakes. I'm confident there are multiple other events that happened without my knowledge that made the day happen as it did. Hali and Leila were amazing to work with and if you are considering booking them for your wedding, do it!!

Awarded Best of Zola
*Please prepare for a long novel of praise and gratitude for seriously one of the best and most IMPORTANT vendors in the wedding game** From start to finish working with Johanna and the JLM Events team was undoubtedly the best decision we made for our wedding. Full transparency - I was hesitant to book a coordinator due to budget being the MAIN factor for our wedding and frankly I didn’t think we could spare the expense. After finding out from our venue that it was a requirement to have a coordinator (turned absolute GODSEND) I found Johanna last June (2025) and from start to finish have been absolutely FLOORED by her dedication, insight, and complete understanding of our needs and wants for the most special day of our lives. Let me just tell you- Johanna will go ABOVE AND BEYOND for you and then some. I was so thankful to have her as an advocate during this process. As someone who considers herself very “Type A” I had no idea how much of a crucial necessity having someone like Johanna would be during this process. The vendor selection is overwhelming to say the least but getting into the nitty gritty of contracts, Plan B scenarios, and just overall comprehension of this business is not something that is talked about enough in this industry. With the guidance and wisdom of Johanna, I know for a fact our experience was as seamless as it was because of her knowledge and diligence. She checked in with me routinely leading up to our wedding year and then on a weekly/daily basis once our wedding year hit. Before booking the remainder of our vendors (which were a lot LOL), I would make sure to send her the contracts I received to make sure everything looked okay and with her guidance we were able to avoid some MAJOR possible disasters with some really important vendors (talking Catering & Glam…pretty important :) ). My whole point is this- you have no idea what you’re looking at or even the questions to ask, even if you think you do, you need someone like Johanna and her team as allies. We avoided these possible disasters because we had Johanna. And even better, once confirming that it wasn’t in our best interest to book said vendor(s), Johanna would be right there with other options for us that were highly recommended and most important- in our budget. I never once felt pressured or like that I wasn't heard at all with Johanna during this process. She received and heard every ounce of my wants and intentions for this day and for that, I am indebted to her. Our wedding day was such a sacred day and because of the team (led by Johanna ) we didn’t have to worry about ANYTHING. Our main focus was just being present with each other and savoring every second- that’s how it should be! BOOK JLM DESIGN AND EVENTS, trust me it’ll be the best thing you do :)

One Twenty West

  • Serves Chester, VA

One Twenty West is a wedding planning and design studio with roots in New York City, now based in coastal Virginia and working with couples across Hampton Roads, Richmond, Washington D.C., New York, and destination markets. We've spent over a decade producing high-end celebrations where the details are noticed, the standards are high, and the experience is everything. We design for couples who want abundance done with intention. The elevated tabletop, the lush florals, the activations that keep guests talking for years. And someone experienced enough to hold every piece of it so you can stay present for all of it.

I just had to take a moment to shout from the rooftops about my collaboration with Alisha. Holy matrimony, Batman! Working with Alisha was like hitting the wedding jackpot. From the get-go, it was clear that Alisha wasn't just about planning a wedding; they were on a mission to craft a love-filled masterpiece. Picture this: I'm a wedding photographer on a quest for those picture-perfect moments, and Alisha turned out to be the secret sauce to make it all happen seamlessly. First off, communication was on point! You know that feeling when you send an email, and you're anxiously waiting for a reply? Well, with Alisha, it was like I had a hotline straight to wedding planning nirvana. Quick responses, crystal-clear instructions, and a dash of humor to keep things light – it was a match made in vendor heaven. And let's talk about attention to detail. I thought I had an eagle eye for capturing moments, but Alisha takes it to a whole new level. Every tiny detail was meticulously planned, from the flow of the day to the color of the napkins. It was like a choreographed dance, and I was just there to capture the magic unfold. What set Alisha apart was their ability to roll with the punches. We all know weddings can be a rollercoaster of emotions and unexpected twists, but Alisha handled it all with grace and a smile. It's like they had a superhero cape hidden under that clipboard – swooping in to save the day without breaking a sweat. To sum it up, if you're on the hunt for a wedding planner extraordinaire who's not just in it for the job but genuinely invested in making your day extraordinary, Alisha is your person. I'm not just recommending them; I'm shouting it from the rooftops – go, team One Twenty West!

Our passion is to create unforgettable weddings that are innovative, personal and leave a lasting impression on your guests. To us, every detail matters and that is why we make sure no detail goes unnoticed. We work with you from the beginning to help develop your unique vision and create the event of your dreams!

When choosing a day of coordinator for our wedding, one of our top priorities was finding someone we could fully trust to execute our vision. From our very first phone call with Hallie, we knew that her and her team were the perfect fit. Hallie is incredibly kind, detail-oriented, and confident. She knows exactly what needs to get done and the best way to get it done. Her team members are also phenomenal and they all worked together seamlessly with our other vendors so that every detail was executed as planned. Aside from the flawless wedding day, Hallie took SO much off of our plate in the final few months by creating our timeline and coordinating with our other vendors to ensure everyone was on the same page. She asked us questions about details we wouldn't have ever thought of, which helped to create a magical, stress-free wedding day. It really could not have been any better. A member of our wedding party said "I have seen so many stressed brides day of but you were legit vibing". She is correct -- I am typically an anxious person but I was able to enjoy and be present in every moment for the ENTIRE day and I owe a lot of that to Hallie and her team. Thank you, Hallie & team, for helping Conor and I create the perfect celebration of our love on the best day of our lives.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot express how grateful I am to have found Memories Made with Brittney LaShea! Brittney was instrumental in making the wedding of my dreams come true! Listen—I am a project manager by profession—super organized, type A control freak, very particular—so for me to hand over the most important day of my life to someone else seemed unimaginable. But from my first meeting with Brittney, I felt nothing but utter confidence in her abilities and she definitely proved me right! I hired Brittney for day-of coordination about 2-3 months out from my wedding which took place March 2025. Brittney is an EXPERT event planner who was able to give me so much guidance even though I was so far into wedding planning. She is also EXTREMELY thorough—“day-of” coordination doesn’t just mean you show up on the day of the wedding and Brittney understands that. She put in the necessary prep work, reviewing vendor contracts, creating a detailed day of timeline, coordinating with vendors, and leading the rehearsal. Working with Brittney in the weeks leading up to the wedding and in particular at the rehearsal, I was able to observe the intentionality with which she builds relationships with people. On the wedding day, Brittney was a literal SUPERHERO. She comes equipped with walkie talkies and the most thorough emergency kit I’ve ever seen! There were things that went wrong throughout the day (that’s inevitable) but Brittney shielded me from so much of that by making executive decisions and coming up with solutions on the fly, which allowed me to just enjoy my day. Cold sparks tripped the power in the reception hall—Brittney handled it. Wind kept blowing over the arch as they were trying to decorate—Brittney handled it. By the end of the night, I didn’t want to deal with the train on my reception dress—Brittney handled it (the woman literally stitched a bustle for me lol). I could go on and on forever about how amazing this woman is. My family, the vendors, and even random guests commented on what an incredible job she did. So I’m just going to say anyone would be LUCKY to have Brittney on their team.
