Soiree Special Events

When I got engaged, I knew I’d need an event planner for day-​of-​coordination, if not more services, due to my demanding work schedule and our church’s lack of an on-​site coordinator. Additionally, my mother was helping me plan from long distance, so it made sense to work with someone who would make sure that all our vendors got paid.
We ended up contracting with Soirée Special Events for partial planning, and Laura Auer was an absolute dream to work with. Her relative youth is inspiring, as Laura is a consummate professional and she clearly loves what she does. Extra guest at the reception? No problem, Laura was on it. Not enough guests seated at the church at start time? No problem, Laura delayed our ceremony start until enough people were seated.
Laura made sure that all my husband and I worried about on our wedding day was thanking everyone for being there and enjoying every moment of it. She did an excellent job and I’m so happy to have worked with her.
My recommendation for anyone who is even considering a coordinator is to do it – it’s money well spent. And if you’re trying to decide who to hire in the DC area, definitely consider Soirée.
