1423 Events

Fantastic experience: Alex from 1423 Events was an absolute rockstar! She was the calm, cool, and collected woman we needed on an elaborate wedding day. She went incredibly above and beyond, setting up over 100 bud vases with fresh cut florals and a boatload of other signage and decor, coordinating an extensive vendor list, making sure all the details were exactly as we wanted them, and seeing everything through til the very last boxes were packed up to leave the venue. She kept the event running smoothly and efficiently, and I can confidently say that I did not feel the need to check on anything a single time throughout the day. She even went out of her way the next day to hand deliver a homemade decor item that was left behind by one of the bridesmaids to our in-laws 45 minutes away. If you are looking for a planner that will take all your worries away, hire 1423 Events and ask for Alex! One of the main reasons we chose 1423 was their package options. While I wanted to do all of the initial planning myself, their Wedding Day Management Package was a great fit, as it provided a few months of support leading up to the wedding to decrease the stress of final planning struggles.

Fantastic experience: We teamed up with Alex to help with month/day-of planning and coordination of our wedding at the Evergreen Museum at the beginning of November. Right away from the first meeting Alex instilled a sense of calm in us- she is very well-connected in the Baltimore area and already knew/had previously worked with basically every single one of our vendors, so she was already very familiar with the rhythm in which they all work and when we should expect all of our various milestones during the planning process. Once our wedding got closer, she made herself available round-the-clock for any questions/concerns we had, up to and including loading multiple car-fulls of DIY stuff at our house to help set the venue up. On the day of, Alex worked seamlessly with all of our vendors to ensure that everything went off perfectly; she came and found us only when she needed us to be somewhere but otherwise left us to enjoy our day to the fullest. We cannot recommend Alex and 1423 Events highly enough, top to bottom everything was handled with perfect precision.

Fantastic experience: I reached out to Erin, the owner of 1423, early in the planning process, and I immediately knew she was going to be amazing to work with. Our wedding included so many personal touches and unique moments that we wanted to highlight, and Erin’s attention to detail was truly unmatched. Even though many of our ideas were a little unconventional, she understood how meaningful they were to us and made sure everything came together flawlessly. Throughout the planning process, we had several calls with Erin, and she was always incredibly responsive, patient, and thoughtful. We both had a strong vision for our wedding, and she completely understood how important every little detail was. When the big day arrived, Erin and her colleague Alex were phenomenal. They handled everything seamlessly and brought such a calm, confident energy to the day. Most importantly, they built a great connection with Alison (the bride) and made her feel completely at ease knowing everything was in good hands. We truly can’t thank Erin and Alex enough for all the effort they put in leading up to the wedding and on the day itself. If you’re looking for a planner who’s organized, attentive, and genuinely cares about your vision, I can’t recommend Erin enough — she’ll make sure your day is everything you dreamed of and more.

Fantastic experience: Our experience with Alex was nothing short of excellent. She was quick to answer emails and texts, and set up numerous phone calls to accommodate our busy schedules in the run-up to the wedding. She handled the timeline with other vendors seamlessly, was present for all walkthroughs as well as the rehearsal, and was an invaluable asset to have by our side while planning our big day. On the day, she was absolutely everywhere, providing vendor coordination, making sure the bride/groom were where they needed to be when they needed to be there, and kept everything running smoothly. She even jumped behind the bar to pour a few drinks during as a makeshift bartender! I wholeheartedly recommend Alex and the 1423 crew to anyone who wants someone they can trust for a stress-free wedding day.

Fantastic experience: I truly can’t even put into words how much I loved working with Alex and the 1423 Events Team for my wedding in July!! If there is any vendor I recommend booking for your wedding it would be 1423 Events without a doubt! From the moment I met Alex she was so positive, easy to work with, and so knowledgeable in all things planning/coordination. Even when I thought I had everything figured out she would mention little details that I never thought of and ALWAYS had a plan/solution. From navigating possible rain to excruciating heat, Alex always found options and presented them to me with such confidence and calmness. I never felt an ounce of stress regarding any last minute change of plans knowing that Alex was there to help navigate them! On the day of my wedding, Alex went above and beyond! She was always there when I needed her all while working countless behind the scene operations so that everything ran smoothly. Thank you to Alex and the 1423 Events Team for making my wedding day such a memorable one! You all are truly the best!

Fantastic experience: One of the best decisions I made was to hire 1423 Events! I went into wedding planning with the mindset that I could do it all by myself, but the day of coordinating really had me stressed out because I couldn't be there to direct everyone and make my visions come to life. 1423 Events came recommended to me by my venue, Mt. Washington Mill - Dye House, and I am so glad Alex Reilly got assigned to my wedding. I decided to go with the 4 month coordination, although I was really organized when it came to coordinating with my vendors, it was nice to have someone who was familiar with my venue to answer all of my questions and make me think of things that I probably wouldn't have thought of on my own. Alex answered 100% of my text messages and phone calls no matter what day of the week it was or the time of the day. She made me feel like I was the only bride she was working with, even though I know she had a lot on her plate with my wedding being right in the middle of busy June wedding season. One thing Alex really helped me dial in on was my day-of wedding timeline. We had a large bridal party, 3 different photography locations, 140 guests, and a 5 hour reception. She listened to all of my requests, gave me suggestions, and was always opened to tweaks after speaking with vendors and their recommendations. We finalized the schedule just days before the wedding and it couldn't have been more perfect. I have never been to a wedding where the ceremony actually started on time and I was SHOCKED when ours started at exactly 5:30PM! The entire night went so smoothly and so many of the guests actually commented on how everything felt so effortless with minimal stagnant downtime, something that was so so important to my husband and I. I truly couldn't recommend Alex and 1423 Events enough for your wedding!

Fantastic experience: I do not know what we would have done without 1423 Events helping us leading up to and on the day of our wedding. From the day we started working with her, Erin helped us think through every single detail, so much of which I wouldn’t have even thought to consider on my own. Whenever we had any questions or needed a vendor recommendation, she was always quick to respond and all her recommendations were fantastic. On the day of our wedding, Erin and Alex did an incredible job of handling everything, making sure we never fell behind on our timeline, and allowing us to truly enjoy our wedding without any concerns. They also went above and beyond in helping us bring so many of our ideas to life and made sure everything looked exactly how it was supposed to. We cannot thank Erin and her team enough for the amazing job they did with our wedding.

Fantastic experience: We cannot express enough how incredible Erin from 1423 Events was in planning our wedding! From the very first consultation, Erin’s enthusiasm and expertise shone through. She listened to our ideas, offered insightful suggestions, and truly brought our vision to life. Her organizational skills are unparalleled—every detail was meticulously planned and executed. We were amazed at how seamlessly everything came together on the big day! Erin coordinated with all our vendors, ensuring everything ran like clockwork, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment without a single worry. Not only is Erin a consummate professional, but she’s also an absolute joy to work with. Her warm personality made the planning process feel like collaborating with a close friend. She kept us calm and focused, even when we had a few last-minute changes. Our wedding day was nothing short of magical, and we owe it all to Erin and the amazing team at 1423 Events. If you’re looking for someone who is dedicated, passionate, and truly invested in making your day special, Erin is the one! We can’t recommend her highly enough! Thank you for making our dream wedding a reality!

Fantastic experience: Wedding photographer here who had the joy of working with 1423 Events earlier this year! I so hope to work with them more in the future! I loved my experience with them so much as a fellow vendor that I felt right to share my experience. You need this crew by your side on your wedding day, I promise! I cannot say enough incredible things about this team— truly. My couple had Alex along for their day, and not only was she an absolute joy to work with, but she was on every last detail in a way that felt natural and made the day easy. I always felt like I had her support and we stayed on timeline, if not ahead of it! (Truly the mark of a talented planner and coordinating team!) With a highly detail oriented couple, she really put them at ease, ensuring that their vision was executed flawlessly, on time, and in a way that allowed them to fully relax and enjoy their day. With a rainy day, Alex seamlessly and gently took care of any details that may have needed to change due to weather in a way that spoke to the couples wishes without worrying them with additional details and decisions when they wanted to enjoy their day. 1423 was communicative and helpful throughout the planning process and such a joy to work with on the wedding day, creating an environment that was pleasant, productive, and fun for vendors AND relaxing, joyful, and accommodating for the couple, guests, wedding party, and family of the marriers. The colorful and joyful design that 1423 created was visually stunning, perfectly executed, and a day that I look back on with so much fondness as a photographer! I would highly recommend hiring this incredible team for your wedding day!

Fantastic experience: Erin and Alex were absolutely incredible to work with. I opted for the "wedding day management" service and have absolutely no regrets. Even though I didn't opt for the full planner service they still were happy to provide recommendations and answer questions months ahead of my wedding. They both were super responsive, available, upbeat, and ready to take on anything. Alex was my main POC and I cannot say enough good things about her! She was prepared for anything and everything (including sewing me into my dress after a clasp mishap) and kept it all moving while also focusing on any needs of wedding party and bride and groom. Don't hesitate to book 1423!!

Fantastic experience: A talented wedding planner is like GOLD, and Erin with 1423events is one of the great ones! Not only do they make the wedding couple's day as stress-free as possible, but they also help your vendor team immensely! From coordination to day-of obstacles, Erin has been such a great resource to work with. I hope to have many more weddings with her and 1423's talented team.

Fantastic experience: I do not have enough great things to say about Erin and her team! Erin was amazing to work with leading up to the wedding! She is extremely thorough, responsive and friendly. If anything went "wrong" on the wedding day, we had absolutely no idea. Unfortunately, Erin was unable to be with us on the actual wedding day, but she made sure that Heather and Lynn knew all of the fine details. Lynn and Heather worked with us on the rehearsal and day of the wedding. They both were AMAZING! They were wonderful with set up, break down and making sure everyone was in the right place at the right time. Hire this team!! You will not regret it!

Fantastic experience: Erin acted as our day-of coordinator for our wedding. We had horrific weather and Erin handled all stressors of the day beautifully. She is calm and collected and ensures that everything happens smoothly. Erin was easy to contact and on-top of all communication throughout the planning process, which we really appreciated. Absolutely worth every penny -- I would highly recommend Erin!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend 1423 Events for wedding day preparation and/or day of coordination for your MD wedding. We decided to book Erin for her “day of” package for our wedding at our home. I thought not having a traditional venue would be too much work for a planner but Erin made it seem easy and was on board with our vision from day 1. Throughout our big day it became obvious we would not have been able to do it without her! She moved our timeline along flawlessly - especially because if I had it my way the night would never have ended! Our photographer and caterer both worked hand and hand with Erin behind the scenes so my husband and I could simply enjoy the day. She has a number of different priced packages available to fit your budget which is always a plus!
