From…read morestart to finish, Iman and his team did absolutely everything they could do to make the wedding planning process seamless and our wedding day exactly how we imagined. We were planning our wedding during the pandemic and things were constantly uncertain as to whether or not the wedding would be able go to on. Iman and DJ Kia had routine calls with us to check-in and offer advice. We knew we could trust their opinions and flexility during the uncertain times. On the day of the wedding, DJ Kia was so involved with every aspect of the ceremony and reception. He knew exactly what to do, when to do it, and how to make our wedding day an unforgettable experience. He literally orchestrated our ceremony processional and was making sure everything was running smoothly. Everyone felt at ease walking down the aisle because DJ Kia was there to send them off. We were lucky enough to have Iman MC our wedding, and believe us when we tell you he knows how to put on a show. The dance floor comes alive with Iman on stage and everyone was out of their seats and dancing the entire night. Our cocktail hour ended up going over schedule, which pushed back our reception. It was no worry though, because Iman was there to quickly restructure the timeline and ensure everything ran smoothly. Even with unexpected issues, we felt completely at ease knowing he had us covered. He is such a genuine person who truly cares about his client's happiness. We also used Night Owls for our video production and working with them was a truly pleasant experience. They captured every aspect of the wedding beautifully. In just a few short weeks, we had our trailer and wedding video created, both of which were edited to our liking. They were extremely patient with us throughout the process and the end result is videos we still can't stop watching! Thank you to Brandon and the team at Night Owls for all of their hard work. We also want to give a special thanks to Wake on the sax, Farzan on the drums, and Cyrus on the cello. These three gentleman made the music come alive and our guests could not stop raving about how talented they were. My wife and I still talk about just how great it was working with Exclusively Entertainment and we would absolutely recommend them for your events!

Kara was a GREAT coordinator. We were planning from abroad, and she was very flexible over email…read moreand google hangouts. She recommended a bunch of vendors, which was very helpful. We have no idea if anything went wrong, which is the sign of a great coordinator! She checked in with us throughout the day, and if we made any changes to timeline, or requested more time or something different, she made it happen. She did the full decor set up with very little instruction (I believe we said "gourds everywhere, make it pretty") and it was STUNNING. She has a great eye for what looks best. Could not recommend Kara enough!

She and the CapRo team were great resources as we had questions throughout the planning process, giving us advice and connecting us with previous clients who used the vendors we were pursuing. This is not a full service wedding planning team (you still have to talk to your vendors and do some of the planning), but great source of organization and double-checking as you get closer to the day of the wedding. And all of the logistics she took care of the night of the wedding (getting decor back into the right hands, gifts, etc) were invaluable.

From the very beginning, Audrey was incredibly patient and thoughtful. She took the time to understand the vision, asked insightful questions, and made sure every detail was handled with care and discretion. Her communication was clear, timely, and professional throughout the process, which gave me complete confidence--especially given the importance of the recipient. When it came to delivery, she exceeded all expectations. The final piece was not only beautifully executed but tasteful, polished, and perfectly suited for such a distinguished person. Aubrey has a rare combination of artistic talent, professionalism, and grace. I would absolutely work with her again!!!

Amazing talent, great communication, and a wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly recommend!

From the moment she arrived, I barely had to do anything. She kept the kids entertained the entire hour and made it feel effortless. Moana (Lily!) was incredible. She played freeze tag with the kids, taught them a short hula dance, and led a parachute game that had everyone laughing and fully engaged. She even came prepared with a craft: the girls made princess crowns and the boys made superhero masks. Every child was included and having a blast. She took so many sweet photos with the kids and made each one feel special. I was so impressed with Lily's energy, professionalism, and warmth. Several parents came up to us afterward to say it was the best party they or their child had ever attended. This wasn't our first experience with Princess Parties of DC, and it's clear why they're so wonderful. The owner, Jacklyn, truly cares about the quality of her performers and the experience they create for families. I recommend them to everyone I know. If you're on the fence, book them. You won't regret it.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Jennifer Sellers and Pink Swan Events! My husband and I…read moreinitially did not plan to hire a day-of coordinator, but we wholeheartedly agree that hiring Jennifer is one of the best decisions that we made! When I first met with Jennifer and she explained all of the things that she takes care of, it became immediately obvious that her services would be invaluable to us on our wedding day and that she would be providing much more than simply "day-of" services. In fact, she became involved nearly a month before our wedding! With Jennifer as our day-of coordinator, we were supremely confident that any hiccups would be handled and that we could fully enjoy our big day. And that definitely turned out to be the case! From one of our groomsmen passing out in the middle of our wedding ceremony to pictures running late and guests showing up who hadn't RSVP'd (and I'm sure other things that we don't even know about!), Jennifer made sure that the wedding continued seamlessly and virtually uninterrupted. We are certain that things could have easily been derailed if she had not been there to expertly guide everyone. We are also certain that we would not have been able to relax and enjoy our wedding day nearly as much if we hadn't hired Jennifer! In addition, we didn't have to task our family and friends (nearly all of whom were from out of town) with doing all of the many things that Jennifer handled for us. Instead, they got to enjoy our wedding, too! Jennifer is, without question, a delight to work with. We also loved her assistant, Amanda, who helped Jennifer with our ceremony rehearsal and wedding day. In fact, we had several guests comment about how lovely they both were! In addition to being easy to work with, Jennifer is professional, extremely responsive, experienced, full of suggestions, and thinks about all of the little things that so many brides and grooms overlook. Her level of detail is exceptional and was noted not only by us, but our other vendors and our guests! (Consider, for instance, that she put together a 12-page timeline for our wedding weekend that highlighted who needed to be where and what needed to be happening at each moment--amazing!). It is clear that she puts a tremendous amount of work into every wedding that she's involved with. Her value, in our opinion, cannot be overstated. We are so grateful to Jennifer and Pink Swan Events for helping to ensure that our wedding went off without a hitch!
