Your Trusted Wedding Planner in Baltimore, MD
In Baltimore, the difference between smooth and stressful is knowing when to dodge I-83, where to park a shuttle, and how to keep portraits on schedule. At O’Neil Events, we keep decisions simple, timelines realistic, and your day calm from first look to last song.
Couples work with us because they get one clear plan and a local wedding planner who knows Federal Hill, Fells Point, Mount Vernon, Canton, and Harbor East. We build travel buffers that work on busy Saturdays, coordinate shuttles and valet for downtown venues, and time portraits at Federal Hill Park, the waterfront, and along the marble steps of the monuments so you never miss golden hour. Vendor communication runs through us, so you are never chasing answers or watching the clock.

“INCREDIBLE! Colleen was a dream to work with. Starting with our prep phone calls 6 weeks out, Colleen kept everything on track so I could actually enjoy the wedding planning process. She has a vast knowledge of experience, an eye for detail, and is completely unflappable. When my caterer showed up with one bar set up instead of two, she rearranged the layout on the fly to make everything work. She is kind, positive, and a calming presence. I would not have been able to be so deeply present and enjoy my wedding so much without her. My wife and I agree this was the best money we spent. Hire her team!”

Everything You Need for Your Baltimore Wedding
Wedding and engagement
Proposal planning, engagement photos, and early vendor scouting around Federal Hill Park, Fells Point cobblestones, Mount Vernon Place, and the waterfront. We handle permits, timing, and a simple plan so you start strong and stay relaxed.
Anniversary party planning
From an intimate dinner in Harbor East to a larger celebration in a restored warehouse, we manage catering, music, timelines, and guest flow so you can enjoy your own party.
Destination wedding planning
Bringing guests to Baltimore or marrying elsewhere. We build travel-friendly timelines, coordinate hotel blocks downtown or in Harbor East, and align arrivals through BWI with one point of contact.
Elopement planning
Courthouse vows with portraits along the Inner Harbor or Mount Vernon. We secure the officiant, set a clean schedule, and keep the focus on your vows.
Engagement party planning
Private rooms at the waterfront, a Belvedere Square takeover, or a favorite neighborhood restaurant. We source the space, craft a short run of show, and keep speeches tight.
Wedding banquet planning
We align service with toasts and band cues so dinner moves on time. At Accelerator Space, Mt. Washington Mill Dye House, or a downtown hotel, we map back-of-house routes and cue sheets so guests feel cared for from first pour to dessert.
Wedding packages
Clear options for Baltimore couples. Choose full service or month-of, then add rehearsal-dinner support, design intensives, transportation coordination, or a next-day brunch plan.
Day-of wedding coordination, Baltimore, MD
You build the plan and we run the day. Vendor arrivals, ceremony cues, family photo wrangling by location, and a reception flow that keeps the dance floor full.
Month-of wedding coordination, Baltimore, MD
Six to eight weeks out, we finalize details, write the master timeline, confirm every vendor, lead rehearsal, and manage all load-ins and tear-down so you can enjoy the celebration.
Hi, I’m Colleen —
Born & Raised Washingtonian,
Experienced Baltimore Wedding Planner
I know the DMV like the back of my hand, but I also know the vineyards, estates, and tucked-away Baltimore wedding venues that couples fall in love with. My calm presence, trusted vendor relationships, and 15+ years of experience mean you’ll never have to worry about the timeline or whether the shuttle bus will make the vineyard run on time.
Before weddings, I was a Division I lacrosse player, so yes, I thrive under pressure, run a tight ship, and always keep things moving with strategy and grace. Combine that with an obsession for dessert and Diet Coke, and you’ve got someone who balances elegance with practicality.
✨ Fun Facts:
I run on Diet Coke (large, always).
Dessert is non-negotiable — every meal deserves it.
I’ll plan your rooftop photo session, but I won’t look down (heights are not my thing).
My toddler and cats keep me on my toes, and remind me daily that staying calm matters.
Shoes are my love language (hence the background photo)
