We recently had the honor of coordinating Deirdre and Timothy’s hometown wedding, and it was a lesson refresher in making the familiar feel brand new. This wasn’t just another event; it was a celebration deeply rooted in their personal history, and we were there to make sure every moment unfolded meticulously.
Here’s a peek behind the curtain at how we made their day extraordinary.
Benefits of a Month-Of Wedding Coordinator
Deirdre and Timothy came to us as a referral from a previous bride (we love our clients!). They were looking for a Day-of Wedding Coordinator and knew they needed a team with experience, especially at their chosen reception venue, the Columbia Country Club. They needed someone who could step in, understand their vision, and execute it without a hitch.
That’s where the team at O’Neil Events came in.
For us, month-of coordination isn’t about just showing up on the day. It’s about reviewing your plans, anticipating potential issues, and becoming the on-the-ground problem solver.
For example, on the wedding day, there was a bit of a timing miscommunication regarding the band’s setup. Our team jumped in, coordinated with the venue and the band, and made sure they were set up and ready to go once cocktail hour began, without causing any stress or panic for the couple.
This is exactly the kind of behind-the-scenes fires that our team at O’Neil Events lives to put out, so our clients can focus on soaking up the joy of their wedding day.
Columbia Country Club MD Wedding Venue
Location: 7900 Connecticut Ave, Chevy Chase, MD 20815, United States
If you’re looking for a venue that combines classic elegance with serious flexibility, Columbia Country Club is a top-tier pick. With space for up to 250 guests in its stunning Grand Ballroom, and even more if you’re dreaming up an outdoor celebration on their expansive event lawn.
Some of our favourite features of the Columbia Country Club include the wraparound veranda, complete with twinkle lights and sweeping views of the golf course, a major win for cocktail hour and sunset photos.
Note: If you’re considering the Columbia Country Club as a potential wedding venue, you can expect price ranges from $6,000 to $20,000 depending on your guest count, food and beverage choices, and event spaces.
As DMV wedding planners, we love that the club is both beautiful on its own and a perfect blank canvas for couples who want to create a space that is truly theirs.
Contact our team if you have any questions about if this venue would work for your wedding.
