    The best wedding planner

    We cannot thank Barb and her incredible team enough for the phenomenal job they did planning and executing our wedding! From the very first meeting, Barb’s warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail made us feel at ease.

    Barb’s expertise and guidance throughout the entire process were invaluable.

    Mother of the bride

    Barbara is very professional. She had everything in control. I had a question she had an answer quickly. The entire wedding went down perfectly no flaws. I would highly recommend Barbara for any wedding. She is amazing.

    Positive, Caring, Fun Experience

    Barb and her team were very professional and helped with all aspects of the wedding planning and "day-of". She provided suggestions, recommendations, and helped with many of the details and coordination. Communication was very good and there were many calls, zoom calls, and in person meetings.

    Above and beyond

    Barb helped us contract with an amazing team of vendors! Her expertise and experiences were far above and beyond any of our expectations... and we are a pretty demanding group! She expertly helped us navigate our plans for not just our wedding day, but... an entire weekend for 150 guests. Breakfasts, Manor House party, rehearsal dinner and night before bonfire in addition to the wedding day festivities. Morning breakfast, mid day catering, a million moving parts all the way thru our sparkler exit that was adapted on the fly due to rain. Barb and her team executed a flawless weekend our guests are still raving about! She is a bargain considering her expertise, industry contacts and willingness to dig in and get the work done in a professional manner with a smile on her face!

    Barb Wired's reply:

    You are the best...thank you! We will always remember this wedding weekend as one of the most unique. We wish you all congratulations and continued happiness!

    Incredible Team

    Barb and the entire BarbWired Team made our Wedding a beautiful and memorable event. From our initial meeting with Bab to the full execution of our wedding weekend, we felt completely at ease. The BW team is organized, creative, and prepared. They made the planning process and vendor selection seamless. Barb is a seasoned professional with a network of the best vendors in the Charlottesville area. We had no worries with the vendor team we selected with the help of the BW team. Her team are professionals who will not only be prepared for anything but are also kind and supportive individuals. Barb and her team go above and beyond to capture each couple's essence and to make their...

    Made Our Day

    Barb and her team are such a great asset to have on your wedding day! They know all the nitty-gritty about organizing and coordinating vendors, guests, the wedding party, etc. And helping with things you don’t even think about as a bride. Fluffing the veil for photos, cuing the speeches, making sure everything runs according to plan.

    It really takes a village to coordinate a wedding. And Barb is the mayor of that village. She knows how to get everyone organized and how to call the shots!

    Couldn’t have pulled off our wedding without her and her team. They really helped us realize and achieve what we wanted out of the day. And gave us a wonderful wedding with no hiccups whatsoever. You're in safe hands with them.

    Barb Wired's reply:

    Thank you so much Anna....I've never been called the mayor before and I love it! Your wedding was not only beautiful but your vision was so unique. We loved working with you and congratulations!

    Experience Makes the Difference

    Every possible detail was attended to seamlessly. The entire Wedding Event Weekend came off without a single hitch. Barb became one of us and directed us and kept us informed as to the schedule. I cannot imagine anyone doing a better job and being more experienced? Thank you friend.

    Barb Wired's reply:

    Thanks so very much, Janet! Working with all of you has been a great pleasure and we wish you congratulations!

    A must have for your wedding day!

    We got married on 09/09/23 and hired Barb Wired to help with planning. Although I am a Director of Operations and do quite a bit of planning in my role, it was important to me to have a professional who knew the ins and outs of weddings. There are so many details and moving parts that go into planning a wedding-so much so that Barb Wired was a necessity. Barb was able to connect us with amazing vendors and helped field questions for us. Additionally, she was such a major help when it came to final organizational details and she kept us on track during our engagement period. Barb and Abby made sure everything went smoothly on our big...

    Fantastic- could not have done it without her!




    From our first meeting with Barb, we knew we were in the best hands to help plan my daughter’s wedding! We loved her down to earth personal approach matched with a vast knowledge of vendors, professional insight, and years of experience. We knew we were in knowledgable, organized, & helpful hands.
    Throughout the wedding planning, she & Abby kept us on track with their organizational skills, enthusiasm, & attention to detail. From the initial vendor selection to last minute day of events, their communication remained impeccable. Barb kept in close contact with emails, check ins, and willingly set up phone calls. From the initial consult through the wedding day, Barb & Abby were with us every...

    Barb Wired's reply:

    The best part of our job is making our clients happy! We are thrilled that we made the wedding day stress-free and fun. We appreciate every kind word and the generosity you bestowed upon our team, and wish you many more happy memories in the future.

    Great event management on short timeline

    Barb and Abby offer very professional event and customer service. From the first contact, we appreciated Barb's responsiveness, knowledge, connections, and ideas. She listened to what we wanted our day to feel like, made many calls on our behalf, and helped make our day a success on a short timeline. Abby put in a lot of effort in carrying out the week of needs.

    So grateful for Barb and Abby's Help!

    Barb and Abby make such an awesome team. We loved working with them throughout the process, and I was so confident they had everything under control. Barb had great recommendations about vendors and was incredibly responsive as we got down to the wire (no pun intended). Couldn't be happier with their awesome service! I will miss working with them!

    Worth Every Penny

    Barb and Abby were amazing! We had the “Forevermore” (aka the full planning package) and we never had a single doubt that it was right for us. Prior to hiring a wedding planner we had a feeling that most of the wedding was ‘planned’. Then the questions and timelines started coming in and there was a feeling we were going to get divorced before we got married! With Barb Wired we had easy to manage checklists, great vendor recommendations, and the answer to any questions that arose. Barb is outrageously responsive and her depth of experience is obvious. Abby gave lovely insights into our websites, hotel blocks, and our side events (welcome drinks and brunch). You only get one...

    Professional, personable, responsive and effective

    From the beginning, we knew we were in good hands with Barb and Abby. The combination of long experience, down-to-earth opinions, a formidable network of vendors, energy and enthusiasm just can't be matched. Barb knows it all, has seen it all, and brought a calm, no-fuss vibe to every interaction. Abby brings attention to detail, can-do attitude, insights on the digital aspects of planning and impeccable day-of service. I can't say enough about this team. We had the easiest, not-a-single-wrinkle wedding thanks to Barb and Abby. Guests are still telling us it was "the best wedding I've ever been to." Hire these gals. You can't do better.

    Barb Wired's reply:

    Thank you Colin & Christine and again, congratulations! We wish you a lifetime of joy and happiness. The two of you are an inspiration to other couples!

    Helped make wedding a special day

    Barb Wired was an excellent team to work with, especially since Charlottsville was a destination wedding for us. From the onset, Barb made us feel comfortable and confident in the planning process. She and Abby continued to deliver great support throughout the process.

    Fantastic team

    Barb and her team were exceptional and did an outstanding job making sure all of the moving pieces and parts were covered; Barb and Abby were thorough and patient and helped alleviate our stress and wedding workload. We had a fairytale wedding and along with all of our guests, enjoyed ourselves thoroughly! Our ability to savor every moment was in large part due to Barb and Abby covering everything! We cannot recommend Barb Wired enough for wedding planning needs! Thank you again Barb and team!

    Best in Class, Easy as a Dream

    We were lucky enough to be referred to Barb Wired as we began our wedding planning a little over a year before our ceremony. From the first conversation and the questions Barb knew to ask, it was clear that she and her team offered best in class service backed by real experience. What made Barb Wired so essential to our event was two things: the connections to the best vendors available and the professionalism of the staff, particularly Abby. To see the way Abby remained calm and focused under any circumstance was a credit to her as well as Barb Wired as a whole.
    Beyond support in connecting us with vendors and keeping us on track of the course...

    Barb is the best!!

    We worked with Barb for almost three years, through multiple wedding reschedules due to Covid and I can honestly say we would not have made it through without Her. Barb is an expert in the Charlottesville wedding industry and every single one of her recommended vendors exceeded our expectations. Barb also quickly became our advisor on all things relation to Virginia's Covid regulations for large gatherings as we looked to reschedule (and then reschedule again) our Wedding celebration. She absolutely made a time that could have been painfully stressful, easy to navigate and for that I cannot thank her enough. We finally had our Wedding celebration 1/1/22 and it as perfect!!! So many thanks to Barb and her team and if you're getting married in Charlottesville I can't recommend Barb Wired enough.

    Barb Wired's reply:

    This makes us so happy! Through all of the challenges, you and yours were amazing to work with and your celebration was so much fun! We wish you all many blessings in your new life together. Muah!

    Wedding of a Lifetime

    Barb has become a lifelong friend through this wedding experience for my daughter. She was very friendly, on time with everything and the wedding and reception were outstanding. I almost wish I had another daughter to get married as I would employ her in a heartbeat. Thanks Barb for such wonder memories.

    Barb Lundgren was excellent! We had a party for 120 at a local farm. Barb helped us with the planning and made all the arrangements. She took care of details we would not have thought of otherwise. She took the stress away and allowed me to enjoy the party! Her staff also were superb

    Superb wedding planning service

    We would highly recommend barb Wired’s planning services. They made our wedding day perfect.Barb and team did an incredible job organizing our wedding. It was everything we imagined and more.
    At the beginning, we were a bit hesitant to hire a wedding planner. First, we have already done a big chunk of the work. Second, we were planning a middle eastern wedding so we weren’t sure if wedding planners would get what that entails. We were very wrong.
    Barb went above and beyond in every dimension. There were so many fine details details we were unaware of that needed to be arranged before hand like lunch for bridesmaids and a steaming plan for the dress.

    An Excellent Experience

    Choosing Barb Wired was the absolute best decision our daughter made for her wedding. Barb knows numerous outstanding vendors and has worked with them often. Everyone worked together smoothly, which was especially important as we converted our home into a venue. She and her team went above and beyond in many ways.
