Adom Creations

  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $650
  • Serves Great Mills, MD

Hi! I am the founder of Adom Creations, wedding planning is not just an event but an opportunity to create unforgettable experiences for my clients. Led by founder Benies, Adom Creations specializes in traditional White American weddings, multicultural, and faith-based celebrations, including Jewish and Muslim weddings. We honor tradition, embrace diversity, and execute every event with professionalism, care, and intention.

We truly could not have done this without Benies. After our original wedding planner unexpectedly quit, we were left stressed and unsure how everything would come together—until Benies stepped in. From the moment she took over, she brought calm, confidence, and clarity to what felt like a chaotic situation. Stepping in last minute is no small task, yet she handled it with grace and professionalism. Benies quickly got up to speed and even helped us define our vision. Her organization, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills were exceptional. She seamlessly coordinated vendors, managed timelines, and ensured that every detail—big and small—was thoughtfully planned and beautifully executed. On the wedding day, everything ran flawlessly. We were able to be fully present, relaxed, and genuinely enjoy every moment knowing she had everything handled. What truly sets Benies apart is how much she genuinely cares—she was responsive, reassuring, incredibly knowledgeable, and always one step ahead. If you are looking for a wedding planner who is dependable, talented, calm under pressure, and truly invested in her couples, look no further. Hiring Benies—especially under these circumstances—was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We are endlessly grateful and cannot recommend her highly enough. E & J

Felicia is the calm you need on your special day, or that special day for your child. This is the 4th wedding of my 8 children. This was bat far the most personal and intimate feeling and the most peaceful. Felicia effortlessly took care of details I wouldn't have even thought about as the mother of the bride. I was able to relax and even learn a line dance! She whipped up a bouquet from leftover flowers when we relaxed we didn't order a BRIDAL bouquet!!

I'm your planning BFF and hype-girl from the moment you get engaged to cheering you on as you bust a move on your wedding day!

Lissa and her team was absolutely wonderful from the initial contact up to the end of our wedding day! No matter what kind of wedding you're having, she will make you and your partner feel like you have all of her attention as the most important couple. Throughout the whole process, she was so professional and supportive, even with not as traditional ideas. She had such a quick response time, usually within a day, or a couple hours, and sometimes even sooner! Her attention to detail in making my timeline was also amazing and I felt that we were able to have the whole day planned to the dot before the big day. On the wedding day, she made sure everything ran so smoothly and we were not stressed out at all! We had some small hiccups with the layouts that our venue had set up, but a quick word from Lissa had them fixing the issue. She's the perfect amount of assertiveness, professionalism, and friendliness with everyone, including the guests. The largest thing that stood out to us was how much all of our other vendors loved Lissa and working with her, and we could see it throughout the day. Our venue had restrictions such as a short setup window, but Lissa communicated with them and navigated the situation very well to make everything go smoothly. Even though we had a venue management person for the day of, it was nothing compared to working with someone that truly focuses on you and your needs. Our vision was captured beautifully, and we do not regret hiring her at all!

Mari is IT. My husband and I met with a handful of coordinators who all seemed qualified and capable, but none that seemed to vibe with our energy UNTIL we met Mari! Right away she was calming and tuned in and warm. She felt like someone we would hang out with but then make that person an organizational wizard.As first time wedders, who had never imagined a specific wedding day aesthetic or theme, we would frequently worry this whole thing might not come together. But IT DID under Mari's expert guidance! And not only was it a big success (imo) she also never made us feel dumb or wrong or like bad engaged people for breaking tradition or for asking if we need Welcome signs. Mari was very good about holding us to our deadlines but not hounding us. When we felt like we were months behind she assured us we were in a good place.And then the day of the wedding, Mari and Anjeanette, were like the 1992 US Men's Olympic basketball team! Just two pros moving seamlessly, never missing. If we had a question, they had the answer before we asked. I always wondered how weddings happen without the bride and groom being pulled in every direction. Elle Events is how.

Working with Velada Events was truly one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning journey. From the very first hourly brainstorming session, Geraldine made us feel heard, understood, and completely supported. Each meeting was not only productive, but also inspiring — they helped us bring our ideas to life while offering thoughtful suggestions we never would have considered on our own. We left every call feeling more confident, more organized, and even more excited for our big day. Our wedding on February 21, 2025 was everything we dreamed of and more, and we truly believe the care and attention given to us during those hourly sessions played a huge role in that. Thank you Velada Events for helping us plan a celebration that felt perfectly us.

From our very first meeting with Shaymah, we felt an overwhelming sense of trust and confidence. Beyond her professional expertise, Shaymah took the time to genuinely get to know us and our love story, which added a deeply personal touch to every aspect of our wedding day. Her expertise, dedication, and passion for her work were evident in every interaction. Shaymah displayed incredible foresight, setting up a rain plan that ensured our wedding would be beautiful, rain or shine. Her meticulous nature was evident when she obtained insurance documentation from each vendor, leaving no room for unforeseen issues. The detailed floor plan and the comprehensive task checklist she provided not only guided us in the lead-up to our wedding but also served as a testament to her thoroughness. Shaymah crafted an individualized itinerary tailored to our unique vision for the day, and proactively shared this with all vendors to ensure a harmonized and seamless execution. What we particularly appreciated was Shaymah's commitment to regular meetings, ensuring we were always on the same page. Her recommendations for vendors were invaluable, introducing us to professionals who matched our vision and expectations. On our wedding day, Shaymah was nothing short of exceptional. Every event, from the ceremony to the reception, flowed effortlessly under her watchful eye. Shaymah expertly coordinated our ceremony rehearsal, ensuring everyone was well-prepared, and then masterfully managed the actual ceremony, ensuring every moment unfolded exactly as envisioned. Her constant communication with us throughout the day reassured us that everything was under control, allowing us to truly soak in and enjoy every moment. Shaymah's adaptability in the face of unforeseen circumstances was exemplified when the ice cream truck mistakenly went to the wrong venue; she swiftly coordinated with them, ensuring they reached the correct location without a hitch. Additionally, Shaymah displayed tremendous thoughtfulness by ensuring all our gifts were safely secured and put away after the festivities, giving us one less thing to worry about. To say Shaymah went above and beyond is an understatement. We wholeheartedly recommend her services to any couple in search of a wedding coordinator who truly understands the intricacies and emotions behind a wedding. Thank you, Shaymah Ansari, for making our day genuinely magical!
