She is responsive, asks questions you haven't thought of, manages vendors smoothly, creates a fantastic timeline for you, and even handled a bridesmaid fracturing her finger right before the ceremony! She always is looking out for you. We felt well taken care of the entire time we were in her hands. She's more than a planner, she's your advocate with vendors! She makes sure you get to sit, eat, breathe, and enjoy your wedding day. We were so impressed with her work. If you need a wedding planner, she's the one!

My husband and I held our small wedding ceremony (less than 10 people) at Weddings on Wirt on…read more4/4/15. I was very lucky to have found this place (after several unsuccessful searches to find a small indoor venue for our hour long ceremony). Weddings on Wirt will hold up to 30 people. Although the space is the small, the little touches like the gold chairs (which are part of your hourly rental) and historical looking furnishings are a nice alternative to getting married at the courthouse (also looks better in pictures than a courthouse). Suzanne (the owner of Legacy Weddings and proprietary of Weddings on Wirt) is very accommodating. If you have a small event planned the space and add-ons available are perfect. (Although, the space is typically used for weddings. Suzanne is flexible (and told me) she has hosted other events at space, like baby showers). I loved the fact that Weddings on Wirt has wedding packages and gives their prices up front. We decided for example to add a small cake and sparkling cider toast to our hourly package after our ceremony was finished (we made this decision, a week before the ceremony, and Suzanne didn't mind the last minute decisions). In a nutshell, I recommend this space for a small gathering due to its flexible terms and affordability.

This review is for wedding planning services, and not the use of the Wirt House…read more A friend dropped Suzanne's name after we got engaged, and since I was going through some job issues I knew I needed a planner. We met with Suzanne and I liked her immediately. She's very kind and outgoing, honest but not harsh about anything. She listened to my wants/needs/ideas and was just as enthusiastic about them as I was. She threw out a name of a venue nearby and it ended up being exactly what we were looking for, and we went with it! To start, I loved the Wirt house, so charming! She was very factual and really knew her stuff. She pointed out a ton of things I hadn't even begun to think about, and I have NO idea what I would have done without her! I learned from this whole ordeal that I am a closet control freak, and I took on planning most of the wedding myself when I should have let go of the reins...but Suzanne was incredibly patient and understanding with me, even while I was having meltdowns throughout the year due to the combined stress of wedding planning and my ongoing career roadbumps. When my job became too difficult to attend some of the vendor meetings she went in my place and didn't miss a beat. As for the final wedding day, I'm convinced she's a superhero. There was SO MUCH going on, so many things to attend to and oversee, and she did it all completely by herself! No assistants or anything, I would have needed at least 3 to do all of that! And she did all of this while I had turned myself completely off a couple weeks before the big day. I simply had no more to give and she took it like a champ and was still smiling from ear to ear. I loved that she was, if not more, excited about the wedding and wasn't just looking at it like it was a job she had to get through. I have zero experience with weddings, never gave much thought to mine until I got engaged...so I have nothing to compare it to but honestly I have no regrets about using Suzanne. Thanks for making my special day seemingly flawless!

I co-hosted our 20 Year High School Reunion this past weekend and we engaged MAPDJA as our DJ…read moreservice. I've hired and referred MAPDJA countless times over the past 20 years - from our prom to my wedding to friends' weddings/events to each of our reunions since graduating. We held this event at RANGE in the Chevy Chase Pavilion in Washington, DC. We usually have the owner, Kurtis Cross, DJ our events, however he was booked for a wedding, so we were assigned DJ Shawn Parker. Although I know that Kurtis trains exceptional DJs, I was admittedly a little nervous about having a DJ that I'd never met do our event. However, the moment Shawn introduced himself, I felt at ease. Shawn showed up early and set up all of his equipment quickly and seamlessly. He made sure to connect with me and review the details, including what music we wanted to hear and any announcements that needed to be made. He checked in with me during to make sure everything was running smoothly. The music he played was perfect. The crowd was dancing and enjoying reminicing. The restaurant never once complained to us about the music/noise level. At one point, I asked Shawn if I could jot down a few notes - things I wanted to remember to do and/or announce, including organizing a group photo. I assigned times to each task. Shawn took it upon himself to remind me about 10 mins in advance of each activity to make sure that I didn't forget. I also want to note that Sean was dressed very well for the occasion - in a suit, exactly as requested. He has a fantastic announcer voice and great timing. He read the crowd very well and knew what song selections to play when. He entertained requests and handled each guest with exceptional professionalism. I was thrilled with the quality of the service. This is a truly professional and reliable company and I will continue to use and recommend them to anyone looking for a phenomenal DJ service. Frankly, I can't imagine hiring anyone else.

Wedding Venue Review:…read more My fiancé and I toured this venue on a Friday morning and absolutely loved it! Not only was the venue gorgeous, but Rachel, the amazing event sales manager, answered all of our questions and made us feel special as we toured for our special day. Rachel emailed me back and forth prior to our tour to answer any questions that I had. She explained that the tour itself was about 20 minutes, but she blocked out an hour of her time incase we had questions on site or for her to explain anything in more detail. We easily used the entire hour discussing how to make our dreams a reality. We have had experiences at other venues where we felt unheard or that our questions didn't matter. That was NOT the case with Rachel as she was attentive to our questions. In the rare instance that she didn't have an immediate answer, or if we wanted to see specific photos of the venue (sparkler send off, ceremony in rain), she took notes and sent an email within a few hours after meeting. After touring other venues, this is by far the best service that we have received.

The owners are extremely detailed oriented and it's evident they have put thought and love into every single piece of this venue. You can feel the magic the second you step onto the property. On the day of my wedding, Carol was there to greet us and help with anything we needed. Leading up to my wedding, Bailey was a fast communicator and extremely accommodating. Working with bluebird felt like working with family. In addition, the venue is so versatile. I love that my guests could choose to be dancing inside, playing corn hole in the back, hanging on the balcony or watching the sunset. It was so important to us to have an indoor outdoor feel, and so many people commented on how unique and special it felt. Additionally, they have a gorgeous bridal suite with everything you need to feel comfortable and excited while getting ready on your big day. I really can't recommend the bluebird enough. After you see it in person, you'll never want to leave!

From the moment we entered the historic property of the mansion, it simply felt like home! No fuss with finding a parking space, no other loud parties, anniversaries, weddings, bands etc., to compete with at Grey Rock Mansion. It was just us - our family and friends sharing a special, private moment with our Brock and Kori Carter! The lush outdoor garden wedding was extraordinary, and the tent was airy and absolutely stunning with chandeliers and strings of beads and lights streaming from the ceiling. Brock and Kori chose a Sunday brunch. The food was so delicious - sweet bites of pancakes and waffles, hickory bacon, sausage, breakfast potatoes, spicy shrimp, and grits, along with salmon, chicken, fresh vegetables, and the omelet station. The staff was very attentive, professional, and kind. I loved that their uniforms were so clean and formal. Often the staff at many of the hotels and restaurants have very worn white shirts and dingy sleeves. Not the Grey Rock mansion staff! It was like Sunday Best!!! It was really a charming afternoon of tea, coffee, and bottomless Champagne, Bellini cocktails, scrumptious deserts/food, and lots of dancing in the ballroom. The guests praised the bartender, Edrick for his strong drinks (blush). Raising a glass to unforgettable memories and many more wonderful private gatherings to come with Bill and the Grey Rock Mansion staff - Outstanding!!! Cheers!
