Geomyra and her team provided "month of" coordination for me and she was great from the beginning. My husband is in the military so we had to move up our wedding quite a bit and I am currently finishing up law school and my wedding came right after my finals. Needless to say I was beyond stressed! Geomyra went out of her way to check-in with me the weeks before my wedding to see if I had any questions or concerns. She also didn't freak out when I sent her my 300 lists, charts etc. since I am a obsessed organizer. On the day of our wedding, everything went so smoothly. I definitely could not have pulled off the whole day myself and kept my sanity. It was really a relief knowing that Geomyra and her staff would be taking care of everything. Even at the end of the night she had already packed up everything we needed and had a cab waiting for us! I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a wedding planner in the future. Not only were her and her staff professional but their calm and happy demeanors were a breath of fresh air to a stressed out bride!

Geomyra and her team provided 'month of coordination' for me and were wonderful from start to finish. She was very flexible and willing to meet with me twice in person before the wedding to discuss details. She is a true professional, knows her business, and made my life and the planning process so much easier. The wedding day was a breeze knowing Geomyra and her team had all the details covered. Geomyra came highly recommended and she exceeded my expectations. Thank you Geomyra Lewis Weddings and Events!

I hired Geomyra to be my day of wedding coordinator, and she was excellent. She was extremely detail oriented, and made sure our day ran smoothly; I didn't have to stress or worry about anything on my wedding day. I would definitely recommend her to any bride!

Think you do not need a wedding planner? Think again bride to be! I thought this was a luxury, but truth is that Exceeding Expectations (EE) is a must-have on your wedding day. After spending all that money and going crazy with the planning, Geomyra and Veronica can only be described as "heaven sent". Geomyra thinks very quickly on her feet and before you ask the question she already has it all figured out. I will forever be grateful for her advice and knowledge. And kudos to Veronica for being so sweet, a master at dress-bustling and bilingual! Most of my family speaks Spanish and there was Veronica to take care of many details whether in English or Spanish!My day didn’t go flawless (thanks to my mother!), but it went smooth enough thanks to EE. They took care of all my DIY projects and packed all my gifts before reception was over. They were on point all the time and their timeline was a life saver. I only used EE for the “month/day-of services”, but wonder if using them before would have helped me keep a healthy stress level….hmmm?Go ahead bride! Start doing all that research on wedding planners and you will see why EE is the way to go. Hire them and you will see why they have so many 5 stars reviews. I promise you will love them!

Using Exceeding Expectations was one of the best decisions that I made. Although i questioned whether or not I really needed a day-of/month-of coordinator, i would advise every bride to budget for one - it was worth every penny. Geomyra was great to work with and I really appreciated how she ran a tight ship. She made sure the vendors were on track, discreetly told us what we needed to do and where we needed to be and she totally saved the day when there was an issue with our up-lighting at the museum. 5 stars + for Exceeding Expectations!!

EE did a great job at my wedding! I used just the "day of" services and was very pleased. I worked mainly with Geomyra and she was very professional and on top of her game throughout the day. She had me complete many questionnaires beforehand and had a VERY detailed timeline put in place for every single thing that was happening. I would definitely recommend EE and use them if I had to do it over again. They took care of all of those little things you don't think about (like getting my bouquet from the church to the park where I was taking pictures before the ceremony). Thank you Geomyra and staff!!!!!!

We recently got married in June and hired Myra and her team for Day of Services. It was certainly one of the best decisions we made! Our day was perfect and I never had to worry for a minute that things were not going according to plan. It was a great relief to know that after all our hard work that neither me nor my family had to deal with any little changes or details during the day. Myra made sure that we were on schedule, that the men had their boutonnieres on correctly and even packed our car with all our gifts at the end of the night. I know some people think that day of services is a waste of money, but I promise you it was worth EVERY penny. Your sanity and ability to be able to enjoy thoroughly your wedding day is priceless!

I used Exceeding Expectations for their Month-of Coordination services. They definitely helped make my wedding day go smoothly- no problems at all. Myra and Veronica were very attentive throughout the whole day to make sure we were happy with everything. Myra even kept her appointments with me after having some unexpected family issues- you can tell how dedicated she is to her profession. Veronica and Myra really work well together and they are definitely people you want on your team.

I am sooooo glad I chose Exceeding Expectations to handle my month of coordination. I could not imagine my day without them. Veronica was my coordinator and she was INCREDIBLE! She handled everything from the grouchy church coordinator, transporting my DIY projects, facilitating the rehearsal and so much more. I didn't have to worry about anything the day of the wedding and thats exactly how I wanted it to be. We loved how professional she was and she made my wedding run more smooth than we could have ever imagined.

Geomyra and Veronica were of immense help on my wedding day. There is no way we could have orchestrated such a smooth event without them. Geomyra's calm was so appreciated in the face of so many anxiety-producing details. My husband and I both agreed that while you normally think of an event planner as someone who is running around and trying to get everything organized, Geomyra's demeanor is much more efficient as it let us both relax and feel that everything would happen as planned. I would without a doubt recommend Exceeding Expectations. The day could not have been as wonderful without them.

Myra and her team were so incredibly helpful and I'm so glad I decided to use them for day-of coordination. I almost didn't hire a coordinator because friends volunteered to do it, but I decided I needed someone who knew the business, and were being paid to be there so that my guests didn't have to "work" the day of. Even though I only got the day-of package, Myra frequently emailed in the months leading up to the wedding, checking on how I was doing. Our pre-wedding planning meeting was so helpful and made me feel at ease. She had great ideas. We worked and reworked the day-of timeline over and over until it was perfect. On the day of the wedding, she and her team coordinated everything perfectly. They checked with me often, and acted as a liaison between myself and my other vendors. I don't think I checked a clock the entire night because I knew they would keep us on time. They even did little things like bringing me my flip flops when my feet were killing me in my heels. And not having to worry about setting up/breaking down/packing up, etc, was so extremely nice.I'd recommend them without hesitation...my Dad said "this is the one thing that was truely worth the money." That's big coming from him!

We are so happy that we decided to use Geomyra as our day of coordinator. Looking back, we can't imagine our day without Geomyra and her assistant, Veronica. Geomyra drafted a timeline for the day and they kept to the schedule. Everyone told us that the wedding was very well organized. We can thank Exceeding Expectations for that! They made sure we were calm and doing well the whole night. They also made sure our gifts and other items went home with the correct people. Best of all, they were very nice people! I would definitely recommend Exceeding Expectations to other brides.

Myra, was very much into every aspect of my wedding. She was kind and understanding and did much more then what I expected.

Myra and her team of superstars certainly earned their paycheck the day of our wedding. As an event planner by trade, I questioned the need for a day of wedding coordinator, but figured it would be best to have someone else wearing that hat the day of our wedding. Myra and her team made sure the room was set up perfectly, the guests were happy and entertained, and put out the small fires that arose during the evening (metaphorically). When we were running 45 minutes behind schedule, they scurried us along so we could make up some lost time, all the while making sure that they weren't stressing us out. When my bustle continued to fall apart, they followed me back to the bridal room to pin it up, regardless of how many times it happened! They took the weight off my shoulders to handle the logistics for the day and made our wedding perfect and enjoyable for all. For such an extremely reasonable price, any DC bride would be silly not to utilize her services... because she'll ensure that your wedding is the fairy tale you've always imagined.

Exceeding Expectations was my savior!! I had no idea what I was doing when it came to planning my wedding. I was so glad when I was referred to Myra because she held my hand through the entire process. Even my girl friends said I was the most relaxed bride-to-be they had ever seen!All of my guests were stunned at how beautiful event was. I can't say enough wonderful things about Exceeding Expectations! No matter what your vision is or how many crazy family members you're working with, Myra can make your dream come true.

Exceeding Expectations did just what it's name implies. I used them for "day-of" coordination for my wedding and I never felt like I had to worry about anything! Myra, the owner, was very attentive to my husband's and my needs and I was able to just sit back and relax on my day!! Without EE, my wedding day would have been far more hectic and not as enjoyable. I would highly recommend EE to any bride looking for a coordinator; they are very experienced and knowledgable. Your needs WILL be taken care of!

Exceeding Expectations is exactly like their name. I could not have planned my wedding reception without them! EE went above my expectations; I would highly recommend them to anyone. One of the things that I loved was on the day of my reception, I did not have to worry about anything. They handled it all and did it with the utmost professionalism, responsiveness and quality of service.
