Colleen was amazing! She was recommended by a friend of mine who also used her for her wedding and it was the best decision I made around my wedding. More than a month before, she collected all of my contracts, reviewed them, coordinated with all of my vendors and hammered out a very detailed schedule which I would have never had the time to do and which allowed us to correct issues in advance. Weekend of she was incredible, kept my stress level low while making sure everyone was in the right place at the right time and that everything ran smoothly. Without her it would not have been nearly as wonderful of a day but with her it was amazing! You wont regret hiring her.

O’Neil Events came highly recommended to us by our reception venue, Rock Creek Mansion in Bethesda. Our planner Yvi was assigned to us one month before our wedding was to take place. She capably handled communications among multiple vendors and made sure everyone was on the same page, and provided a very detailed timeline for everyone to follow. She also had excellent advice on some planning points, such as transportation for guests and decor, which proved to save us a bit of money here and there. Our service and reception ran so smoothly and we had such a great time from start to finish. While I was initially hesitant to hire an official wedding planner, I am so glad I did….Yvi made the day stress-free and we could focus on enjoying ourselves!

Colleen O’Neil was by far the most amazing wedding coordinator I could have ever had! Months before my wedding she met with me several times to go over details for the ceremony and reception. We had an extremely complicated layout for the reception (cocktail hour, dinner & dancing all in 3 separate locations at our venue) and Colleen made the entire evening go flawless! I had more fun at my wedding than I could’ve dreamed of and that was because Colleen took care of every last detail and allowed me to enjoy my wedding day. She worked extremely well with all my vendors (florist, caterer, photog, videographer, venue, church etc) and I couldn’t be more appreciative for all her hard work and dedication. She is one of the most reliable, detail oriented and trustworthy professionals I’ve worked with. She is a must for your wedding day!

Colleen was one of the better vendors we chose during our wedding. Starting from a month out, she was on the ball and persistent in making sure our wedding and ceremony would go off without a hitch. She is very experienced and left no stone unturned during the planning phases. When our big day finally arrived, Colleen and her assistant were like a team of wedding ninjas, quickly jumping from setting up decorations, organizing the vendors, and keeping everyone on track. She was a great investment and we choose her all over again. Thanks Colleen!

O’Neil Events was amazing! Colleen worked with us to make the day perfect even when it meant lots of details and specifications. We felt so comfortable having her around and relied on her heavily to help with every little thing. It was such a weight off of my shoulders and she exceeded my expectations! Thanks you Colleen and O’Neil Events!

I was hesitant that I even needed a planner but I’m so glad we got one! We had Ariel as our day of coordinator. Her personality was great and she made it seem like we’ve known each other for years. She was so helpful and always available. The wedding went so smoothly and we have her to thank. We spent our day enjoying ourselves instead of worrying about the details. Before Ariel started helping us full time, Colleen was there to answer any questions we had. She was very easy to work with very responsive. Thank you!!! I highly highly recommend them!

O’Neil Events is fantastic! Colleen O’Neil, the owner, paired me with Laurie Themistos to be our day-of coordinator. Laurie started a month out, and she was EXACTLY what I was looking for! Laurie was organized like you wouldn’t believe, friendly but firm (not afraid to give her honest and polite opinion), resourceful, energetic, easy-to-get-along with and a wonderful and genuine person. I am running out of adjectives to describe how great she was–Laurie deserves all of the credit for making our wedding a success. It went off without a hitch!

Colleen O’Neil was super easy to work with and checked in throughout the wedding planning process to make sure everything was running smoothly. I highly recommend using O’Neil events for wedding coordination–they are top notch, and the price is unbeatable as well. Thank you, O’Neil events, for a wonderful wedding experience!

I could not be more excited to share our incredible experience with O’Neil Events and Ariel in particular. From the outset, Ariel put us completely at ease of all the details (big and small) about our wedding day. She was calm, cool, and collected at every turn, was always thinking ahead, and had a plan for everything. Our family and friends are also still raving about what a gem she was every step of the way!
We had a few surprise factors on the day of: complete downpour, two flash mobs, a guest who wanted to propose, I fell out of the chair during the hora…the list goes on. Ariel was right there when we needed her and took care of everything. She made sure everyone was where they needed to be, on time, and made all the moving parts look seamless. Ariel, you made it all look easy and we can’t thank you enough! You are a true gem!
