We always see the question, "When should I hire a wedding planner?"

Well, as soon as you know you will need one! Many venues require couples to have a wedding coordinator. Many coordination companies are booked early, so as soon as you need and/or want one, reach out!

The CRC process is tailored to provide the most support. We work with our clients at least 4 months from your wedding day.

We kick things off early to get to know our clients personally, offer our guidance when you're looking for it most, and ensure every vendor is in harmony with the details that bring your vision to life.

Feeling overwhelmed with wedding planning? It’s never too early to get expert help. Tag a friend who’s planning their wedding and could use our touch. 🎁👰‍♀️

We love what we do, but especially when we know we are helping clients create their perfect day! Hear from a recent bride on what their experience was like working with us:

"Jenna and her team are amazing and they really made our wedding day perfect. Jenna was always happy to answer questions we had and even made sure both of our parents could come to the meetings so everyone was on the same page. She helped make our wedding day a chill and relaxed day!

The most important thing Jenna did for us was on the wedding day. She not only made sure everything ran smoothly so my mother and I could just enjoy the day, she also literally saved the day. My husband almost passed out during the ceremony. From the moment he sat down, Jenna was already there with water and a capri sun for him. Her whole team helped make sure he was ok and helped get him back on his feet again so we could finish the ceremony. After the ceremony she helped rearrange our timeline so we could have a moment of peace to take in what just happened. Again like magic she was there with a plate of appetizers from our cocktail hour. She also made sure my husband had enough water/juice for the remainder of the evening. I think this truly shows how much she cares about her couples!

I’ve been in many weddings and I think Jenna is by far the best coordinator I’ve ever worked with. She makes sure your wedding dreams come true and is even prepared for events you didn’t even think would happen. I’m so happy we had her there for us that day."

Raise your glass to more than just a toast! 🥂✨ Every detail of your wedding tells a part of your story, and what’s in your glass should be no exception.

Signature drinks are a fantastic way to splash a bit of your personalities into the mix. Fancy a zesty margarita 🍹 to remind you of that beachside proposal? Or put a fruity twist to a classic old fashioned 🥃 that shares one of your staples and matches the season?

No matter what, your guests will be all over them because it's hand selected by you!

Share your the signature drink you plan to toast with or maybe you've already toasted to in the comments. We don't mind hearing the honorable mentions you tested, too! 😉 We all know you did!

Our team is growing and we want to introduce our amazing coordinator, Maria!

Hi everyone 👋 I’m Maria!

I am one of the Coordinators at Compass Rose Coordination. I love helping couples plan dreamy weddings that express their love in every aspect 💖

While wedding planning is one of my favorite hobbies, there is more to me than just that! When I’m not creating the perfect timeline for your big day, you can find me cozying up with a good book, baking my newest creation, or playing volleyball 🏐

Some other fun things about me:
📋 I got my start as an event assistant with and have seen all different sides of the industry from venue management to wedding coordination
📍 I'm originally from Maryland, but I've bounced around quite a bit thanks to being a Navy spouse: MD➝VA➝FL➝VA
🐶 I absolutely adore taking my pups, Lucey & Harper, for walks around the neighborhood
💪 I enjoy staying active and lifting heavy things with my friends at – it's a great way to clear my head and unwind after a long day
💐 Although I tend to stick to neutrals in my daily life, I'm always excited to add a pop of color or a fun floral pattern when it comes to wedding design – it's the perfect way to add some personality to the celebration!

Which one of these speaks to you? Drop a comment below 👇and tell me something fun about you!

It's time to Say Yes to Your Dress! Who are you dress shopping with you? Here are our tips for picking your "I-Do Crew."

1. Not everyone in your wedding party has to attend. Your college best friend that lives out of town may not be able to make it, which is okay! She will be there on the wedding day to help you get ready.

2. Keep the invite list small. Many boutiques and dress stores have limited seating for wedding parties shopping with the bride.

3. Your mom has been dreaming of you in your gown since you were born! This is a special time for those in your immediate family, and many times they know you best! They can tell when you put on "The One" sometimes even before you do!

4. FaceTime is always an option! For those that cannot make it or those who are still important to you, having your Maid of Honor FaceTime them can allow you to include them without having them in-person.

Who are you inviting to your wedding dress appointment?

The decision to hire a planner is sometimes tough. We recommend choosing someone you truly vibe with.

Trust is the key 🔑 ingredient to working with any wedding vendor, but especially your planner. 👩🏼‍💻📋

Everyday we use our values of sustainability, authenticity, intentionality, and collaboration to guide our services and client interactions and we look for these same attributes in potential CR Coordination couples.

Ultimately our goal in working with our clients is excellent service coupled with the peace of mind that every detail will be arranged and managed.

For extra measure, we sprinkle ✨ in some laughs and maybe an impromptu dance party 👯 for a relaxing, stress-free process, and to build authentic relationships with our clients.

If this sounds like your kind of vibe, shoot us a message!

2024 weddings are underway! Hear from some of our favorite people about their January wedding with us!

"Hiring Compass Rose Coordination (CRC) was the best investment we made for our wedding. Jenna and her team of coordinators are nothing short of a dream team. The experience and knowledge CRC brings to the table is enough to justify their inclusion on your special day, but their endless professionalism, dedication, and organization makes them a standout in the wedding industry.

CRC brought every detail of our vision to life. Throughout the day, CRC attentively forecasted our needs (providing schedule updates, fixing bustles, etc.) while expertly navigating the behind-the-scenes and logistical details to ensure we could be fully present in the moment.

Throughout the entire process we experienced efficient communication, guidance, and personalized resources that demonstrated the CRC team was invested in us as a couple. CRC gave us the tools and support we needed to head into our wedding confident and stress-free. We fully recommend choosing CRC to join your vendor team!"

I probably would have believed you.

If you had told me that at 27 I would be getting ready to celebrate 5 years in business, building a team of incredible like-minded humans, and celebrating amazing couples embarking on their marriage journey weekend in and weekend out, I definitely would have believed you.

That's because one of the things I love about myself is that if I set my mind to something, I pretty much always follow through on it. Now there are times when an idea feels initially aligned then becomes misaligned, but for the most part, we keep it moving over here.

As I get closer and closer to 30 [cue mini freakout sesh 😳] I'm looking for those ways to slow down to be more mindful, intentional, and grateful for the moments and people I have in my life. Here's to the year where I get closer to the legacy I want to leave for the future!

Today you're seeing a new face! We've asked Madison, one of our amazing coordinators here at CRC, to introduce herself. Meet her below ⬇️

Hi everyone 👋 I’m Madison, a Coordinator at Compass Rose Coordination! I love helping all couples coordinate one of the most memorable days of their lives!

While I love working at Compass Rose Coordination, there is more to me than just that! For instance, I love to travel, spend time with family and eat more sushi than humanly possible in one sitting. When I’m not making the a personalized timeline or creating a layout from scratch, you might find me at the park with my husband and our little pomsky!

Some other fun things about me:
🤍 One of the best moments on wedding day is being with the bride, giving her one final pep talk moments before she walks down the aisle.
📍 I was born in Bloemfontein, South Africa and moved to the states when I was 4 years old.
📝 I have my bachelor's in Psychology and have a professional background working in Human Resources.
🤣 Something that never fails to make me laugh is my new favorite TV show on earth, Ted Lasso! I've been catching up on Season 2-3, and am obsessed!
💐 I love it when couples go for a vintage-themed style! Bring on the retro getaway cars and direct flash photography!

Do we have anything in common?? Drop a comment below 👇 and tell me something fun about you!
