Thank you for keeping us sane and at ease on one of the biggest and important days! You played a key role by taking care of all the details that allowed us to fully enjoy the day and not worry about a thing. I loved how you were my advisor throughout the wedding planning process and I appreciated having you to consult for guidance and feedback during a stressful time - it was definitely less stressful with your help and expertise! Our wedding day turned out better than expected with COVID-19 and we had the most wonderful memories with our family and friends thanks to your help and outstanding attention to detail.

My son was delayed for an hour? Great, time another round of passed hors d'oeuvres. Where is the wedding party? Somehow the scattered and tipsy groomsmen were gathered into a handsome procession. You were like a swan on a lake, not a ruffled feather but out of sight, underwater--frantic activity. I am grateful for what I know were hours of preparation, but how did you manage to postpone the violent thunder storm until the next day? Thank you for your calm and expertise. Thank you for the planning and hard work. Thank you, for the moment when my daughter whispered in my ear: It is my dream come true. Best regards, the Breitners

Lily's crew were truly efficient and delightful to work with. Never having arranged a wedding, our suggestion would be to do homework, research, have a lot of prep time, and hire a wedding planner. Lily was invaluable.

Not only was the venue a beautiful setting for our important event, but the staff truly treat their couples like family. I have never seen a team go to greater lengths to ensure that their couples have the perfect wedding, from providing us with vendor recommendations within our budget to answering panicked midnight texts to settling issues with vendors on our behalf, we literally could not have done it without them. The day-of event went incredibly smoothly because of how prepared they helped us to be. If you're getting married, you'd be making a massive mistake not to consider Rixey Manor. We're so proud that they are forever a part of our story!

The venue was beautiful and all the staff were incredible, making sure our wedding went as smoothly as possible. Isadora and Grace were both exceptionally professional, kind, and courteous to us, our vendors, and our guests. They accommodated all of our requests throughout the planning process and during our wedding. We were especially amazed at how much backend work Rixey handled for us including setup, teardown, and wrangling of vendors. We didn't need to worry about any of that and everything came out perfectly. They also made absolutely sure that we were comfortable throughout. They kept us fed, helped the bride get ready, and regularly checked on us to make sure we were okay. On a more personal note, Isadora and Grace also went above and beyond with all of our floral needs, helping us put together our arbor flowers and a new beautiful bouquet for the bride with some of our spare flowers. At Rixey, you're in the hands of real pros who want your wedding to be perfect and are ready to go the extra mile to make sure that happens. Highly recommended. :)

I'm having a hard time putting into words how incredible my wedding planning experience was with…read moreTerry. Wedding planning is so multifaceted and Terry and her team hit the ball out of the park every single step of the way. From the moment I first met Terry, we hit it off. Not only is she wonderful at her job but she is an amazing person, which is so so important. She gives great advice, is always there to listen to you and seems to always know how to get you in the right direction. I am someone who gets overwhelmed when there are unlimited options and decisions to be made but Terry made it all easy. She caught my overall vibe so quickly and knew exactly what I would like and wouldn't like. She has so many resources and lists that help keep you organized and on track. She is a mind reader and has amazing taste! I truly cannot thank her enough for helping me plan the wedding of my dreams. THEN THE DAY OF THE WEDDING!!!!! I did not have one worry the entire day. Like AT ALL. Every single team member I walked up to on my wedding day, knew exactly what was going on, where my stuff was (this is huge because I lose everything), what needed to happen next, etc etc. I actually had some down time on my wedding day - which I feel like is unheard of!!! I got to sit and hang out with my bridesmaids and have FUN before walking down the aisle because Terry and her team kept everything on time and had everything moving behind the scenes flawlessly. All my guests have RAVED about Terry and her team. It just goes to show what a fantastic, flawless and professional job they did. In the end, words can hardly do justice to the gratitude and awe I feel for Terry and her exceptional team. From the moment we met to the magical day of our wedding, they were there, guiding us with their expertise, unflinching support, and flawless execution. I can honestly say that my wedding day was everything I had ever dreamed of, and more, thanks to Terry's unwavering commitment to making it perfect. If you're searching for a wedding planner who not only excels in their profession but also genuinely cares about making your dreams come true, look no further than Terry. She is an extraordinary person and an unparalleled wedding planner. Terry, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for creating the most memorable day of our lives. You and your team are simply the best.

I first learned about For Love of Love through a close friend who worked with and raved about…read moreLauren and Ellie. My partner and I followed suit and hired For Love of Love, working closely with Ellie one-on-one for 19 months to plan and execute our wedding, which took place this past May. It's quite literally taken me three months to write this because I've struggled to put into words the effect that Ellie and her diligent, detail-oriented effort and positive, calm, encouraging demeanor (not to mention the quality of her taste/ eye for aesthetics...) had on not only the stellar outcome of the event itself but on my partner and me as humans, with little knowledge of the wedding industry, planning the most expensive event of our lives from across state lines. As creatives ourselves, we came to Ellie with lots of ideas and artistic preferences, and she helped us to get organized and translate those ideas into reality by working tirelessly to connect us with local vendors (like Olivera Floral Design, Common House, Richmond Photobooth, various rental companies and more) within our budget who understood our aesthetic, which required that Ellie truly know us as a couple. Her knowledge of the industry and best practices is extensive, and her willingness to go above and beyond for her clients is evident. Additionally, the professionalism that we experienced throughout the planning process was bar none...even in the most testing and emotional of moments involving family--Ellie's patience, positivity, and resolve were unwavering. The bottom line, booking the For Love of Love team is the best money you'll spend. Ellie and her team kept us in the know and ahead of our timeline. On the big day, we were enabled to be hands-off so that we could be as present as possible. I daresay Ellie became more than a wedding planner to us--she supported and encouraged our individualism, made light out of dark, and shared in celebrating our wins. We refuse even to consider what the day would've been like without her and the team. If you're waiting for a sign to take the plunge and hire For Love of Love--it's right here, baby!

Your wedding planner search is over!! Lauren is everything you've been looking for and everything…read moreyou didn't know you needed. Calling Lauren a wedding planner is an incomplete characterization. Lauren is a visionary, stylist, and strategist who is able to both design events and execute the logistics and tactics flawlessly. My husband and I (and our families) worked with Lauren for about 15 months to plan our recent Richmond, VA wedding for 170 guests at an outdoor venue. The entire process was not only painless but fun. As a super type A person, I was not sure I'd find a planning partner who would meet my micromanaging expectations. But Lauren was incredibly organized from Day 1 (I appreciate a good folder structure and Google Doc). She also made planning FUN! I was never overwhelmed, never felt uncertain on where things stood, and always was sure that Lauren and I were on the page with everything - aesthetics, budget, etc. Fast forward to wedding day, and dozens of wedding guests who had recently planned their own events raved that Lauren was the best wedding planners they'd ever seen in action. It was all perfect. She felt like family by end, and we will truly miss working with her!! Work with Lauren. Your wedding (and arguably, marriage) will be better if you do.

Ms. Roberta was so helpful and kind in helping us to plan things out and explain the process. When we arrived at the cemetery everything was set up so beautifully.
