My husband and I can not say enough positive words about Kate and Lovebirds Events. We got married 1.11.14 at the Science Museum here in Richmond. It was a unique venue and we definitely needed help going from the idea in July 2013 to the reality in early 2014 (with challenging work schedules for both of us during the Fall). Kate made it seem so easy to manage and our wedding was more beautiful, fun, and elegant (and much more) than we thought was possible. Other than lots of adjectives to describe how great Kate is, let me give some specifics. 1. I met her on a Sunday afternoon at a wedding expo. She emailed me that night, yes that very night, to follow up. We had a meeting set for that week. She was always responsive to my questions, gave me the most wonderfully detailed to do lists that helped tremendously, and she was just a calming friendly presence from our first meeting to the post wedding check ins. 2. Shes incredibly knowledgeable about a range of vendors in the area and was great about providing a few options, details about possible or likely costs, and paid attention to remembering details about me/my husband and our plans. I appreciated her helping me identify different vendors in the area! She worked so well with all of them, which made the week of the wedding so much easier for us. 3. Kate handles bumps in the road with ease. We had a possible problem just days before the wedding. Kate had a back up plan in place within a very short amount of time, was in regular (not annoying) contact with me, and I knew that any problems had solutions before I even knew that there was a problem. She knows what she is doing, what to anticipate as problems, and she knows how to handle it all, while making you feel calm (or that was my experience). I felt that Kate 200% cared about what we wanted, wanted us to have the best time at our wedding, and was 200% present and focused on making our plans happen. 4. Kate even handled some vendor follow up while we were on our honeymoon. She was so helpful that way too, she didnt forget about us once the event was over. Overall, Kate is more than worth the price, tremendously helpful and organized; her assistant Emily was also a wonderful asset at our wedding. I so appreciated the time Kate gave us during the planning and her calm, focused demeanor. I had no idea our wedding would be so beautiful or fun, the evening surpassed our vision. Thanks Lovebirds for the wonderful start to our marriage!

Lovebird events was absolutely amazing throughout our entire planning process and day-of celebrations. Kate was our full-time planner/organizer and Emily worked with us as our day-of coordinator. My now-husband (yay!) and I live in Colorado but are originally from Virginia. Due to the long distance planning, we chose our planner carefully since we wouldnt be able to meet vendors or even see the location until months after they were booked. Kate was flexible with our busy schedules and was always available to check in via phone calls, texts, skype or email. We had very unique ideas for both our ceremony and reception, and Kate went out of her way to make those dreams happen without any judgement about it being so different than most weddings in the area. She seemed just as excited about the wedding as we were! She created vision boards during the first stages of our planning process to be sure that we were on the same page which was so helpful. I totally trusted Kate to advocate for what we were wanting. She kept our budget in check and was always finding the best deals for us. Kate and her team saved me from hours and hours of scanning the internet for vendors that fit our style. She has so many connections in Richmond. We really could not have done it without her. Her whole team was responsive and available practically at all hours, making my pre-wedding anxieties almost nonexistent - I didnt think that was possible! On the day of I was completely relaxed and happy, able to soak in all of the joy and beauty knowing that Emily had all of the details under control. She was fantastic as well. She must have been so busy that day making sure everything was set up as we wanted, moving furniture from cocktail hour to the reception flawlessly, and managing any unexpected surprises that we did not predict (including running out of beer - yikes!). She did this without anyone noticing and without stress...everything happened exactly as we hoped without me having to worry. Both Kate and Emily are amazing, easy to talk to and work with, and truly listen and work to make your dream day come into reality. It was absolutely the happiest and most magical day of my life, and Lovebird Events is the reason. Theyre the best in VA!

Glint Events was referred to me by a mutual friend that works in the wedding industry; that has to be the best referral - right? My fiancé and I had been engaged for two years and made zero decisions about our big day, so I was very reluctant to meet with a planner. The only requests we had were that our guests have a great time and that the weekend feel as intimate as possible. Glint Events NAILED IT! I have plenty of friends that planned their wedding, I even helped my mom plan my sister’s, but I knew that to truly enjoy the process stress-free we needed a planner. After seeing so many brides stress over their big day and having a personality that likely would do the same, I knew the best decision I could make was hiring Kate & Emily. My advice to brides in the planning phase would be that just because you can plan a wedding it does not mean you should and the best way to enjoy your big day is to leave it to the professionals. It is worth every penny! (Make room for it in your budget.) Kate & Emily made me feel like an old friend, like we had known each other forever from our first meeting. Ben and I joked that they were like elves sneaking around the day of the wedding. They were practically invisible but handled everything! We had zero stress which was impressive since we had planned for an outdoor wedding during the rainiest month on record. And of course it poured for our ceremony & reception, but they facilitated every detail and transformed our tent into a magical wonderland. I could not have envisioned anything more wonderful! Do yourselves, your vendors and your guests a favor and hire Glint Events!

We used Lovebirds Events for our wedding last month and words cannot express how wonderful they were. It was one of the best decisions I made to choose Kate Franzen and her team. I cannot say enough great things about Kate-- she is absolutely amazing! No matter what issue I had or decision I was making, Kate was always there to help when I needed her. She responded to my calls or emails almost immediately, and was always helpful and honest. Every meeting, phone call, or even email with her made me feel so much less stressed and calmer. She took time and effort to understand my vision so I knew that I was able to let go and trust her. She also has impeccable taste and such a great personality. Everyone who worked with her on our wedding was so impressed with her ability to get it all done with a smile. Her communication and organization skills are unparalleled, and she was able to get everyone involved in our wedding, including vendors and family members, on the same page. She ensured that every detail, even those I hadn’t thought of, was planned and perfect. Kate and Emily worked behind the scenes on our wedding day to ensure that every aspect of our wedding was flawless, smooth, and everything we dreamed of. I wholeheartedly recommend Lovebirds Events to anyone planning a wedding.
