When you are searching for a wedding planner in DC, you are not just hiring someone to manage timelines and logistics. You are trusting them with one of the most meaningful days of your life. At Weddings by Kristy, we do not take that responsibility lightly.
Our approach to wedding planning in DC is guided by five non-negotiables that shape how we plan, design, and lead every single wedding. These values are our compass, ensuring that your celebration is stress-free, authentic, and absolutely unforgettable.
Here are the five things we will never compromise on:
1. Guest Experience Comes First
Your wedding is not just about pretty details. It is about people. We believe your guests should feel valued, cared for, and swept up in the joy of the day. From seamless transportation logistics to thoughtful touches like late-night snacks or an accessible floor plan, we design every moment with your guests in mind. When your guests are comfortable and having fun, you get to relax and fully enjoy the celebration too.
Non-negotiable: Every decision is filtered through the lens of guest comfort and enjoyment.
2. A Rock-Solid Timeline
Ask anyone who has worked with us and they will tell you that our timelines are sacred. A perfectly crafted, minute-by-minute timeline is the backbone of a stress-free wedding day. We do not just send it out and hope for the best. We lead every vendor, wedding party member, and family group through it so the day flows effortlessly. This is how we turn potential chaos into calm.
Non-negotiable: No wedding day happens without a comprehensive, polished timeline. Period.
3. Inclusivity Without Exception
Love is love, and it deserves to be celebrated in all its forms. We are a queer-owned, LGBTQ+ inclusive DC wedding planner because every couple should feel safe, seen, and celebrated. That means we use gender-neutral language, we advocate for your vision with vendors, and we design spaces where every guest feels welcome.
Non-negotiable: Your love story is valid, beautiful, and deserves to be honored without assumptions.
4. Transparency and Advocacy
We believe that “clear is kind.” You will never wonder what is happening behind the scenes. We keep you informed, set realistic expectations, and advocate fiercely for your priorities. Whether it is negotiating with vendors, managing budget conversations, or protecting your timeline, we are your unwavering advocate.
Non-negotiable: Your voice leads. We will never push an agenda that is not yours.
5. Excellence in Every Detail
We know that the small things matter. From reviewing contracts line by line to triple-checking floor plans, we do not cut corners. Our standard is excellence, and that shows in the way your wedding day runs seamlessly, with no one guessing who to turn to when questions arise.
Non-negotiable: We do not do “good enough.” Every detail matters because every detail contributes to the bigger picture.
Why These Standards Matter
These non-negotiables are not just about logistics. They are about protecting your peace of mind and ensuring your wedding reflects who you are. They help us attract the couples we are most aligned with: thoughtful, values-driven people who care about their guests’ experience as much as (if not more than) the aesthetics, and who want to be fully present on their wedding day.
If that sounds like you, then we are a perfect match.
