About Lucy Donnelly Events

Lucy Donnelly Events

Wedding Planning and Coordination Services

Hi, I’m Lucy... wedding planner, detail enthusiast, and your go-to calm in the chaos. I help couples create celebrations that feel like them, with a passion for love stories and a meticulous eye for detail. Whether it’s an intimate "I do" or a full-blown party, I’m here to make sure your day runs like a dream. Planning my own wedding was the spark, I instantly fell in love with the magic, the details, and the joy of it all. With over three years of experience, I’ve had the pleasure of working at some of the areas most stunning venues, helping couples bring their dream day to life.

Originally from the UK, I’ve been lucky to call the greater DC area home for nearly 15 years. When I’m not planning weddings, I’m a proud mum to my two wonderful children and love spending quality time on family adventures with my husband, Sean. True to my British roots, I’m rarely far from a cup of tea - but I’ll happily swap it for a margarita come happy hour! On weekends, you’ll often find me exploring local hiking trails or soaking up a little peace and quiet before the next big celebration.

In three words: Confident, Organized, Reassuring

    Lucy Donnelly is an exceptional wedding planner. Her communication style is open, honest, and focused on problem-solving. The quality of her work is nothing short of perfection - she is detailed, focused, and punctual. She constantly checked in on the bride, groom, wedding party, and parents, decorated the venue exactly as envisioned, and solved any wrinkles that popped up to ensure the wedding day was flawless. Lucy is passionate about her work and shows up 100% of the time, excited and ready to make dreams come true. Working alongside Lucy and her team was a dream - they are organized, reliable, and get along wonderfully with all the vendors. Lucy's sense of humor is infectious and she made every part of the wedding a delight. I highly recommend hiring Lucy Donnelly Events for your big day.

    Lucy Donnelly Events is an exceptional wedding planning company that I would highly recommend to any couple planning their big day. Their communication style is direct, responsive, and extremely detailed, which puts my mind at ease throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and the value they provide is worth every penny. Lucy always shows up with all of the details squared away, so the venue and catering don't have to worry about any curveballs. She is truly someone you feel is on your team and you can lean on when something inevitably goes sideways. I'm so grateful for the seamless and stress-free experience Lucy and her team provided for our special day.
