5 years I started SSCO with the dream of blending a background in art/design with the years of experience I had gained in luxury hospitality and culinary art. Being a wedding planner, to me, is really just an excuse to spend all my time creating unique design ideas, elevating new guest experiences, and collaborating with the most incredible talent.

We are so grateful to the Silk + Slate team for helping us bring our vision to life for our wedding day! Noelle has planned something like 300+ weddings and it really shows every step of the way - I can't imagine how stressful and confusing it would have been to do this without her and the team. Our day-of coordinator, Becca, was also a total rockstar. All kinds of things were popping up that we had zero awareness of until after the fact because she was handling them so quickly and expertly, which really allowed us to be present in the moment. She truly went above and beyond in every conceivable way. We will be eternally grateful to Noelle, Becca and the team for helping us put on such a magical day!
When we began our wedding planning journey, the overwhelming sea of options left us unsure if we would ever find a planner who truly understood our vision and needs. Then we met Noelle and the Silk & Slate team, and instantly, everything clicked into place. Their approach to planning is not just about organizing an event; it's about creating an experience that is a true reflection of the couple's essence. Noelle's calm demeanor, paired with her sharp, creative mind, made us feel at ease from our very first meeting. Her willingness to adapt and work within our budget, without compromising on the quality or essence of our vision, was truly commendable. With every meticulously planned detail, from the stunning floral arrangements to the seamless execution of the event, they turned our dream into a reality. Our wedding was not just an event; it was a masterpiece that spoke volumes of who we are as a couple, thanks to the team.
I don't think there is enough room here to describe what an amazing job Noelle and her team did for my wedding at 2941 Restaurant in Falls Church. She has planned over 300 weddings and there is a reason why she is so good at what she does, trust me!! I was so incredibly calm on my wedding because I knew my wedding was in capable hands and I had no concerns because Noelle and her team were going to do a fantastic job and they did! I don't think my wedding could have been more perfect and that had everything to do with Noelle taking my husband and my vision of our wedding and making it a reality. People raved about what a fabulous wedding it was and it was all possible because of Noelle and her team! I recommend you hire her the minute you get engaged because she helped us select a venue and select all of our vendors by giving us suggestions and letting us choose. Every suggestion she gave turned out fabulous, all of our vendors were fantastic, I just cannot say enough about Noelle and her team. If you need a wedding planner - look no further because she is the best in the business (in my personal opinion and based on the 100+ guests I had at my wedding). Everyone wanted to know how I put everything together and I just said, I had an awesome wedding planner and would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone that needs one!
Silk and Slate and Becca’s coordination were truly a game changer and we could not have pulled off the best day ever without them. Becca was down and so supportive of our vision of a non-traditional wedding and all out rager of an after party. She thought of so many little details that took our day to the next level that I never would have. And once our contract began she took over and got sh*t done. She’s a dream to work with and we’re so lucky and grateful that we had her and her amazing assistants Hazel and Anna on our big day. It was truly perfect.
I cannot tell you how pleased my husband and I are with how our wedding turned out. Everyone said to me beforehand "Morgan, something will go wrong and you just have to roll with it..." well, absolutely nothing went wrong... it was freaking PERFECT!!! Noelle and her team made sure the entire weekend ran like a well-oiled machine. It was completely second nature to Noelle, like the well-seasoned professional she is. It really shows how her experience makes her invaluable to work with when planning a wedding/event. I worked with her full time from beginning to end and my husband and I got very very very good reviews from every single friend and family member, even the family members who are judgy and picky said it was the best wedding they've ever been to. I even had a few big DC event planners(in the restaurant/steakhouse industry) as guests and they were blown away. It is extremely special to see all of our hard work and the fine details we put into it come together on such a magical night. My wedding is something I have thought about every second of my life since I was really little - and I couldn't believe how perfect it was - everything I had always dreamed of. THANK YOU, Noelle
Noelle and her team are excellent at what they do. They were with us from the very beginning, helping us choose a venue, vendors, design, and of course day-of coordination. We went through a COVID reschedule and pushed the event by an entire year, and she spent so much time talking us through the decision and ensuring we had the wedding of our dreams. She has a deep understanding of the industry and helped us with everything from contract negotiation to day-of coordination and support. The vendors she recommended were great and we were super happy with everyone. She went above and beyond by providing frequent emotional support and is amazing at navigating various family dynamics and always putting your vision first. She is also great at remaining calm and collected despite the circumstances. The day went so smoothly despite rain and having to use a backup location for our ceremony. She had two assistants the day-of who were phenomenal and I felt so taken care of as the bride- anything I needed they were on it. We wouldn't hesitate to work with her again. Thank you Noelle!
My husband and I hadn’t intended to hire a wedding planner until we signed on with a venue that required a day-of coordinator. One year and several COVID-related postponements later, we could not imagine having done this without Noelle and her team. When the pandemic took off, she didn’t blink. She was always available to help us navigate minor questions and major upheavals alike. She kept us abreast of the wedding industry’s response to the pandemic as it evolved, and she clearly understood the standards different vendors would need to meet to ensure the safety of their guests. From day one, she was a clear, straightforward and reliable communicator, always making sure we understood the context of our decisions, walking us through our options, and providing sage guidance along the way. Noelle has phenomenal taste, which she scaled to accommodate our vision and budget. If we didn’t want to invest too much in a particular aspect of the wedding, she offered affordable, high-impact alternatives. After we cancelled our 120-person celebration and pivoted to a family-only backyard ceremony, she was right there with us — even though our new date took place during peak fall wedding season. She also sent us a beautiful gift basket on what would have been our original date, knowing it would be a difficult day for us. Also, her preferred vendor list is excellent. She has strong relationships with folks in every vendor category — so I highly recommend hiring Noelle before you do anything else. “Meticulous” is an understatement: Noelle is attuned to all of the granular details — from timing to direction to flow to responsibilities — that make the difference between a wedding day that feels stressful and one that feels seamless. Between her aesthetic vision and her logistical prowess, Noelle is a true advocate for her clients. Hire her!
