Lazo’s picks: wedding planners in Washington DC

12 picks · read 2026-10-12

We read the website of every Washington DC wedding planner listed on Lazo (87 listings, 70 sites reachable) and set aside the ones that are not really in the wedding business: a Cleveland planner with a DC listing, a guest-texting app, two venues, a decor rental company, and planners whose sites do not name a town or say how they work. What is left is a shortlist of vendors who say clearly what they do, show their work, and tell you how they work. Verified Lazo vendors come first. Nobody paid to be here, and this is not a ranking: Lazo ranks only on reviews from couples who booked.

Three things to ask every wedding planner in Washington DC
  1. Have you worked at my venue, and do you know its rules on noise cutoffs, load-in windows and insurance for outside vendors?
  2. Full planning, partial, or day-of only? Ask what each tier includes in hours and in meetings.
  3. Who is on site on the wedding day, the planner I hired or an associate?

Wedding Planners in Washington DC: questions couples ask

When is wedding season in Washington DC?

Peak season in Washington DC runs April to June and September to October. Spring and fall are the peak seasons; summers are hot and humid.

How far ahead should we book a wedding planner in Washington DC?

Plan on 12-18 months out for a peak-season Saturday. A wedding planner can only take one wedding a day, so popular dates go first.

How much does a wedding planner cost in Washington DC?

Most couples spend $800-$4,500+. Lazo does not yet hold verified booking prices for Washington DC, so treat this as a national range and ask each wedding planner for their packages.

What time is sunset for a June wedding in Washington DC?

Around 8:35 PM on June 15, with golden hour from about 7:55 PM. For portraits in that light, a ceremony near 5:50 PM works.

How do we get a marriage license in Washington, DC?

Apply with the Marriage Bureau, DC Superior Court. The fee is $45 and there is no waiting period. No witnesses are needed.
