Super smooth!
We are super grateful to Julie & Jessica for helping our March 2023 wedding go off without a hitch! Not only were they super communicative and on top of every detail throughout the process, but they also offered great vendor recommendations and advice on little things that we never would have thought of. They have tons of experience not just with weddings but with other large events, and it showed. On the day of the wedding, we were really able to relax and enjoy it because we knew that, with their expertise and preparation, they'd be solving any problems that arose. We can't recommend them enough!!We are super grateful to Julie & Jessica for helping our March 2023 wedding go off without a hitch!

The Perfect Wedding
Birch coordinators far exceeded our expectations in every possible way! They solved issues, answered questions, and provided above and beyond service before we knew we had an issue, question, or need! On the day of the wedding, our Birch coordinators seemed to be quietly everywhere at once! This was especially critical with two venues (our church in Vienna and country club in Arlington). Leading up to the wedding, calls and e-mails were answered more quickly than I could imagine. They always had great ideas and so many resources at their fingertips. They worked with all of our vendors: florist, music, country club… proofread the invitations and ceremony program…helped with dinner seating arrangements and last-min. rearrangements (due to unexpected changes!). They created a day-of timeline that kept everything moving smoothly! Even our church coordinator commented on how the wedding began at the precise time (when many did not!). Nothing seemed too much trouble…not even stopping at the Crumbl cookie store and picking up bags and bags of individually boxed cookies for “take-away’s” at the end of the evening and then setting them up in a beautiful display and taking any leftover boxes to our car…among other items. All we did at the end of the evening was drive away!
When we arrived at the reception venue, it was as though we were truly guests! I cannot even imagine the wedding without the advice and support of Birch! They made it a magical event!

Dream Team
Nailah and Julie! What a dream team.
The wedding industry is complex, and Birch surely knows how to deliver. My wife and I got married in June 2023 in the Union Market District of DC.
Nailah and Julie supported us in our vision, had fun ideas, sorted out challenges with other vendors, and helped negotiate. Birch was happy to hop on calls and address any questions, comments, or concerns. Throughout the process, we might have needed some hand-holding; they were genuine in their guidance and highly personable from beginning to end.
Nailah and Julie, thank you!Nailah and Julie! What a dream team.

Best Investment
Hiring Nailah and Julie for our wedding planning (6 weeks and day of coordination) was the best investment in all our wedding expenses! I was going to do all of the day off coordination myself and there is no way I could have done it. Nailah is God sent and the kindest person I have ever met! She is extremely responsive and organized! She made sure everything we wanted was part of our wedding day. Our wedding day was a dream come true thanks to Nailah! I will forever be grateful for everything she did.Hiring Nailah and Julie for our wedding planning (6 weeks and day of coordination) was the best investment in all our wedding expenses!

A Magical Day with Superior Attention to Detail
Julie, Jessica and Nailah at Birch Event & Design are an amazing and multi-talented team. We engaged them for full wedding planning on the recommendation of a friend, and we are so glad we did so. They did an excellent job in every area of the planning process, from recommending and managing the venue and vendors, to their beautiful design of the ceremony and reception space, to the graphic design of paper goods. They kept us aware of the budget and made thoughtful recommendations on where to save money and where to consider a splurge. They were very attentive to the preferences of the bride and groom, which meant a lot to us, while also factoring in opinions of both sets of parents. From the rehearsal through the entire wedding day, I never even thought about whether I needed to do something because their team was so many steps ahead of me, there was nothing for me to do! I was able to enjoy the entire weekend without giving a thought to anything besides enjoying this special time for our families. I highly recommend Birch Event & Design. We are so grateful for their hard work and creativity, and we thoroughly enjoyed working with all three of them.Julie, Jessica and Nailah at Birch Event & Design are an amazing and multi-talented team.

Couldn't have done it without them!
Julie, Jessica and Nailah were the dream team to work with for our wedding. We were nervous going into wedding planning in DC as we live in NYC, but the Birch team were warm, professional, accommodating and FUN partners every step of the way. We needed a lot of guidance in some areas (design, guest accomodations) and had very specific visions elsewhere (venue, ceremony) and they understood our goals and went above and beyond to make it happen. They also work with an INCREDIBLE network of vendors. I can honestly say our wedding day was perfect – not a single thing went wrong – and we couldn't have done it without our incredible planners! 10/10 recommend to anyone getting married in the DMV.Julie, Jessica and Nailah were the dream team to work with for our wedding.

Incredible Partners to Make Our Wedding Perfect!!!
Julie, Nailah, and Jessica were phenomenal throughout the entire wedding process. Their vision, professionalism, warmth, creativity, and experience were crucial ingredients in making our wedding day perfect. They are a joy to work with. Their many talents include—but are by no means limited to—the following: frequent and proactive communication; providing access to amazing vendors; strong management of expectations; managing every single detail with flawless attention; staying flexible while gently nudging us towards clear and excellent recommendations; deftly managing last minute changes; advising on etiquette and best practices; diplomatically managing family dynamics; and even spoon feeding cake to a bride with crashing blood sugar levels! They really went above and beyond. We miss working with them already!!Julie, Nailah, and Jessica were phenomenal throughout the entire wedding process.

Couldn't have done it without Birch!
Our wedding was a total success and we could not have done it without Julie and Jessica! We chose a venue that presented a number of challenges and Birch helped us navigate them all. Because our chosen site (which is normally an office building) didn't provide anything other than the spaces themselves, we had to contract vendors to bring in every detail. Julie and Jessica helped us find great options for those vendors and then worked behind the scenes to coordinate between them. When it came to the day of the event they really put in the work managing a short load in time, loading things into our car at the end of the night, and generally ensuring everything went off without a hitch--Jessica even went so far as to stitch up the pants of a guest who split them open on the dance floor! We didn't have to stress about any of the details day-of and could truly just live in the moment and enjoy our day. Its been a month and we are still hearing from guests how much they enjoyed our wedding; we definitely recommend working with Birch!Our wedding was a total success and we could not have done it without Julie and Jessica!

Best in the Business
To say I am grateful for Julie, Jessica, and team Birch would be an understatement. Due to COVID-19 and a family health scare we had to postpone our wedding twice over three years. Each time Julie and her team made the process so easy and seamless, especially during such an upsetting and stressful time for us. Her kindness and patience during the rescheduling process was such a gift that I will always appreciate. Team Birch’s communication was always so organized, quick, and helpful. At every turn they were there to guide us, answer all of our never ending questions, and had such a great depth of knowledge about the industry/vendors. The day of the wedding I did not worry about one single thing, as I knew they were on top of it. Our wedding was really the best day we could have ever asked for and it is truly because of the hard work of Julie and her team. I cannot recommend them enough to any bride/groom. Make sure you book them before they fill up – they are the best in the business.To say I am grateful for Julie, Jessica, and team Birch would be an understatement.

Couldn’t have done it without them!
We would say our best investment in wedding planning was working with the Birch team. Julie and Jessica came prepared to every meeting and call, structured conversations with vendors, and had a calming presence that made us feel secure leading up to the wedding. They stepped in whenever and wherever needed during our two-venue wedding in a freak snow storm and brought our vision to life.We would say our best investment in wedding planning was working with the Birch team.

Best in the business!!
Julie and Team Birch did the most amazing job for our wedding. During the planning my husband was stationed in Germany with the Army and Julie was so accommodating balancing different time zones and work schedules.
Julie helped connect us to fantastic vendors that only enhanced our wedding, and all the while Julie kept us as stress free as possible. On the day of the wedding, she and her team made sure everything went off without a mishap. She had the timing down to the minute and remained laughing and friendly, never once seeming stressed or worried herself. At one point one of my bridesmaids’ dress zippers ripped and she had it fixed in less than 5 min so perfectly you couldn’t tell.
Julie made sure to check in on me as the bride and pull me aside if I was seeming nervous or worried and took the time to remind me it was all going to work out and to ENJOY myself. I cannot recommend Julie and her team highly enough; her whole team was phenomenal!
Thank you for everything.

Julie to the rescue!
Julie and her team at Birch Event & Design are PHENOMENAL! At first, my husband and I thought we could plan our own wedding...and just over a month out, we realized that we really needed to call in the experts. From day 1, Julie began coordinating with our vendors, helping us arrange seating in a limited space, and managing rapidly changing COVID-19 requirements; all of our stress disappeared immediately after meeting Julie. As we got closer to our wedding day, Julie took care of all last-minute logistics; nothing was too big or too small. Most of all, Julie answered every call, email, and text message from us, and her joyful demeanor always left us with a smile on our faces! Without question, Birch Event & Design is worth every penny and then some.
All in all, it was an amazing experience; because of Julie and her team, our wedding was seamless! Julie truly saved the day. We could not be more grateful for having met Julie and worked with Birch Event & Design! We definitely recommend hiring Birch Event & Design as your wedding planner.

So much good to say
The Birch Event & Design team was fantastic throughout our planning process (and we should note that we booked Birch for just month-of coordination)! Julie was highly communicative, proactive and helpfully provided ideas and recommendations on the design of our event when requested.
We were told by multiple people leading up to our big day to plan on something going wrong. Nothing did. Everything was perfect. All of our vendors exceeded our expectations and that had a lot to do with the expert Birch team keeping everyone well informed, coordinated and on time. Thank you, Julie, Nailah, Natalie and all of you at Team Birch!The Birch Event & Design team was fantastic throughout our planning process (and we should note that we booked Birch for just month-of coordination)!

Dream wedding planners
Hiring a wedding planner was the first decision we made after getting engaged and it turned out that hiring Birch Events was the BEST decision we made throughout the whole process!
From the very first meeting, Julie made us feel confident that our big day was in good hands. The team was an absolute joy to work with, always professional, meticulous, responsive, thoughtful, empathetic, energetic, caring, and attentive. We moved cross-country during the wedding planning process and lived a 6hr flight from our wedding venue, but never truly felt the stress of that because of the Birch team on the ground in MD. We are so grateful to Julie, Jessica, and Nailah for making our dream wedding a reality!Hiring a wedding planner was the first decision we made after getting engaged and it turned out that hiring Birch Events was the BEST decision we made throughout the whole process!

Planned the perfect day!
Deciding to work with Julie and the Birch Event team was truly one of the best decisions we made during wedding planning! They brought our design vision and dreams to life, and we’re still not over how perfect our wedding day was. Julie managed all of the planning details throughout the process, from invitation logistics and the day-of timeline to vendor referrals and communication. She introduced us to our amazing team of vendors and found incredible rentals that elevated our design. We were even more grateful to have her on our team when we were forced to postpone our wedding an entire year due to Covid. During a very stressful time, Julie and her team kept the postponement stress-free for us, efficiently handling all of the changes and keeping our vendor team intact. Her unwavering enthusiasm during the two years she worked with us kept us excited throughout the process, and we knew that we could trust her recommendations and experience in the wedding industry. The most valuable part of having Julie and the Birch team at our wedding was being able to relax and fully enjoy the day, without having to stress about the details or coordination of events. If you’re on the fence about working with a wedding planner, we can’t recommend Julie and the Birch Event team enough!Deciding to work with Julie and the Birch Event team was truly one of the best decisions we made during wedding planning!

Love this team
AMAZING team. We had to scale down our wedding significantly due to the pandemic, but Julie and her team managed to make the day feel as beautiful and special as ever.AMAZING team.

Wonderful Planning and Coordination Services!
We had a wonderful experience with Birch Event and Design! Julie and her team are experts in their field. They handled every detail with ease and executed our vision perfectly! They also went above and beyond on the day of our wedding, ensuring that both of us got appetizers during our cocktail hour and that the reception ran according to schedule. We couldn't imagine a better planner for our wedding. Thank you Julie and Kristina!!!We had a wonderful experience with Birch Event and Design! Julie and her team are experts in their field.

Best decision we made!
Deciding on going with Julie and the Birch team was the easiest decision we made on our wedding. They brought us an incredible vendor team and made our "two" weddings everything we couldn't hoped and more. We were a COVID wedding and would not have made it through postponement, the intimate ceremony, and larger event a year later without them. Truly best and easiest decision we made. Worth every penny and more.Deciding on going with Julie and the Birch team was the easiest decision we made on our wedding.

Well Organized
Julie and her team of planners were a pleasure to work with! They were very well organized and responsive to our needs. They kept us on track throughout the entire wedding planning process and were always thinking a few steps ahead. They have a great network of vendor contacts, which helped to streamline and navigate the complex planning process. We used them for partial planning services and they were invaluable for every step of the way. They were there for everything we needed leading up and including our big day.Julie and her team of planners were a pleasure to work with! They were very well organized and responsive to our needs.

Simply Amazing!
Hiring Birch Event and Design was the single best decision I made for my wedding. Julie and her team are AMAZING. From vendor recommendations, to design ideas, Julie possessed all the information needed to bring my dream wedding to fruition. She helped me establish a budget, provided recommended vendors within my price point, and worked with me to finalize all the contracts. She sent personal introductions to all the vendors so I could meet them, review their services, and make final decisions. Additionally, she and her fabulous assistant, Kristina, were side by side with me for the tastings, design meetings and venue walk through with the caterer! All that was before the actual day! On the day of the rehearsal and wedding they made everything completely seamless! My venue required a pretty tight room flip, and they literally transformed the ceremony space for the reception in a way I wasn’t even sure was possible! Additionally, they helped ensure everything occurred according to the timeline, and that all the guests were well taken care of. Overall, Julie has the best taste and knew exactly how to help bring my ideas for a “winter wonderland” wedding to fruition. I could not be more pleased with how everything turned out, and could not recommend her more to any bride for making their wedding day unforgettable.Hiring Birch Event and Design was the single best decision I made for my wedding.

Excellent Service
We worked with Kristina for our wedding as our month of coordinator and she was just amazing. Ahead of the wedding, she came with us to every major meeting so she was always in the loop and then quickly answered any question I had. On the wedding day, Kristina and her team took care of every detail and I didn't have to think about a single thing. I'm an event planner and Kristina really made sure that I wasn't "working" my wedding. The room looked absolutely beautiful and Kristina set everything how we discussed and maybe even better :) The day went so smooth and so much of that was due to Kristina. We can't recommend her enough.We worked with Kristina for our wedding as our month of coordinator and she was just amazing.

Extreme competence and a warm embrace
Julie and team were unbelievable in their attention to detail!! As a person who considers herself organized and detail oriented, I was shocked and impressed by the level to which they thought about, planned, and executed the many details necessary to pull off our out of town wedding on a farm on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Because of their vendor recommendations and money saving advice, Birch practically paid for themselves while providing us with a hassle free and magical day.
Hiring Birch for month-of planning was the best money we ever spent as it allowed us to relax and enjoy the wedding weekend, stress free! I felt like I was in the warm embrace of a competent and caring company who could not only handle everything, but improve our event. They promised a lot and they delivered more! Can’t recommend Julie and crew enough. We have hired the Birch team again for my daughter’s wedding and she is once again providing superior guidance and that much needed comfort and calm in what is an uncertain time for weddings.

Dream Wedding!
Birch Event & Design is a dream event-planning team! Working with Julie to plan our wedding was nothing short of a pleasure.
From the moment we reached out to Julie, she was such a joy to work with! She is a true professional and always knows the right thing to say to put your mind at ease. We used Julie as a partial planner, recommending and helping us lock in some of our vendors as well as handling everything on the day of our wedding. The day of the wedding ran so smoothly. Julie worked with my vendors and put in additional effort to make everything look so beautiful.
Our wedding was the single best day of our lives thus far, and Julie deserves much of the credit for that. If you choose Julie, you're making the right choice. She's the BEST! I can not speak more highly of Julie, and anyone who works with her is so unbelievably lucky.Birch Event & Design is a dream event-planning team!

Thrilled with our month-of package
We hired Birch DC at the recommendation of a friend for a month-of package. Cannot imagine how we would have made it through the last month of planning - and the day of our wedding - without these amazing women. Kristina put us at ease immediately - our first meeting lasted over 2.5 hours as we combed over details of the wedding and she asked us questions that we hadn't even considered yet. Our wedding took place in Philadelphia, so she was able to make the trip up there a couple of times before our day. She was also able to get answers from our vendors that we had struggled getting ourselves, and she put together a clear and helpful timeline for everyone (including family) to use. On our day, Kristina and Mandy took care of everything, we honestly didn't have to worry about logistics. Only wish we would have hired them sooner. Highly recommend working with Birch DC!We hired Birch DC at the recommendation of a friend for a month-of package.
