Client Testimonials

"Hiring Stephanie as our day-of coordinator was the best decision we made for our wedding! From the very beginning, Stephanie impressed us with her organization, attention to detail, and calm, reassuring presence. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, she took the time to understand our vision and priorities, and on the actual day, she made sure every detail came together perfectly.

​

There were a few last-minute issues that popped up — as there always are — but Stephanie handled each one effortlessly and professionally, often solving problems before we even realized there were any. She coordinated our vendors, kept us on schedule without ever making the day feel rushed, and made sure we could stay fully present and enjoy each moment.​ Thanks to her, we truly had the stress-free, joy-filled wedding day we had hoped for. Our family and friends even commented on how smoothly everything ran and how relaxed we seemed all day long.

​

Stephanie is not only amazing at what she does, but she’s also such a kind and genuine person to work with. We’re endlessly grateful for her professionalism, care, and dedication. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your wedding with the same attention and love as if it were her own, look no further than Stephanie. She made our day absolutely unforgettable, and we can’t recommend her highly enough!"

Kat & Andrew, Happy Couple

Having Stephanie on our preferred planner list feels like we have gained a true partner who is an extension of our venue team. Her knowledge of the U.S. National Arboretum is unparalleled—from understanding the logistical nuances of the space to knowing exactly how to time everything with the natural light, guest flow, and permitting requirements. Her insider expertise having been a venue coordinator here for 6 wedding seasons makes a huge difference in how she approaches day-of coordination for our couples. She's able to anticipate challenges before they arise — with calm, confidence, and precision. If you're getting married at the Arboretum, Stephanie is a rockstar — if you can get on her limited schedule."

 

Natalie, MTG Hospitality

"Stephanie is one of our favorite planners to work with—every time we see her name on an event, we know it’s going to be a smooth ride. She is meticulously organized, incredibly decisive, and always one step ahead. Her communication is clear and timely, which makes collaboration effortless. On top of that, she brings such a calm, positive energy to the day—she's not only a pro at what she does, but also an absolute delight to be around. Working with Stephanie feels like working with someone who cares about the entire team’s success—not just her client's experience, but that of the venue and vendors as well. She makes everyone’s job easier, and that’s a rare and valuable quality in a planner. We always look forward to events with Stephanie—she sets the bar high."

 

Chris​, Windows Catering

“Bringing Stephanie onto the RMK Productions event planning team is a decision I’ve been grateful since she joined the team 3 years ago. I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside her on everything from elegant fundraising galas to intimate networking receptions for D.C.-area leaders, and each event has gone above and beyond what I imagined.

 

What I value most is her ability to truly understand the purpose behind each gathering—whether it’s engaging donors, elevating a brand, or creating meaningful connections—and then translate that into an unforgettable experience. She brings precision, creativity, and calm confidence to every detail, from the earliest planning stages to the moment the last guest leaves.

 

Working with Stephanie has been an absolute joy, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a partner who will make their event shine."
