WEDDINGS THAT STAND OUT

Expert Washington DC Wedding Planners

Life’s short.  Pick colorful tablecloths, serve delicious cake and share only your favorite traditions.

You’re a modern couple, after all. You’re well dressed, well traveled, and well known for your strong opinions. You know what you like, and “cookie cutter” ain’t it. So why would your wedding look like everyone else’s?

“We interviewed a few DC wedding planners, but Janice was the only one who was confident. It was 6 or 7 months before our wedding and we hadn’t even started planning, and Janice didn’t bat an eye. She said ‘I’ve done more with less time. Let’s do this.’ We hired her on the spot.”

PLAN WITH PURPOSE

We love a good theme party — especially when the theme is you. Whether we plan and design your special day from scratch, bring your well-laid plans to life, or something in between, our job isn’t done until we make your wedding into an intentional, elevated, purposeful representation of you and your partner.

ABOUT THE WEDDING PLANNERS

Four score and seven years ago, Janice Carnevale (she/her) founded Bellwether Events. Ok, ok, so it hasn’t been 87 years… though we’ve been around the wedding planning block so many times, it often feels that way! Here’s the truth: we’ve been wowing DC area couples with our colorful, creative wedding planning services since 2006. We’re logistical masters with excellent taste and top connections, and we have a list of 5-star reviews as long as the National Mall. Simply put, we’re the real deal.

“If you’re looking for a world-class wedding planner, you should hire Janice and the Bellwether team. Seriously. Our DC wedding day was stress-free, due in large part to Janice’s organization, quick response times, attention to detail, ability to connect with and navigate complex families, and complete professionalism.”
