About the Author
Colleen O’Neil
Hi, I’m Colleen, founder of O’Neil Events, serving couples in Washington, DC & NYC who want their weddings to feel effortless (and actually fun). After 15+ years in the wedding world, I’ve learned that calm communication, a good sense of humor, and solid vendor relationships can solve almost anything.
I’m passionate about helping couples enjoy the planning process, not just survive it, with weddings that feel timeless, thoughtful, and uniquely theirs. When I’m not behind a timeline, you’ll probably find me with a Diet Coke in one hand and my toddler in the other.
