RICHARDSON-HOWARD WEDDINGS
"So that the bride and her party can enjoy the wedding festivities, I made the decision to hire a professional to manage the events for the Rehearsal and Day of the Wedding details; and
I know that I made the best decision with Virginia Lionberger of Mane Event, LLC.
She's a fiery redhead who is both professional and personable and will make sure that there are no worries for me on my special day so that I won't become BRIDEZILLA! Virginia is a great
resource and I have had the opportunity to attend some of her events and they were elegant and FUN! I know that Virginia will be FANTASTIC"
AMANDA-TONY WEDDING
"How can we begin to thank you for so many months of your help and advice? It won't be easy, but we'll try. Tony and I have been through many difficult things in life and planning a
wedding without you would have been on the top of the list!
Any time we had a question you always returned our calls or e-mails promptly, even when you were on vacation! Your expertise and knowledge of wedding procedures, traditions and vendors was
truly unparalleled. You were always available to hold our hands, walk us through any problems and calm us down when we were overwhelmed.
You became more than a wedding planner, you became our friend (who just happened to know everything about weddings) and a very trusted ally.
Thank you so much for helping us to plan our wedding which went beautifully, perfectly, tastefully and without a hitch............with the exception of a 2 year old who had to pee!
We are extremely satisfied with and grateful for your help. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
With much and very heartfelt appreciation,
Amanda and Tony"

CHICAGO SINFONIETTA BENEFIT "AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER"
A Sinfonietta staff member writes, "Virginia accomplished all of her assigned tasks in a most professional manner. She was very organized and was instrumental in keeping us on a time line. With Virginia’s strong design background she was instrumental in creating what one Sinfonietta Board member described as the "most attractive Silent Auction ever held by the organization". In addition, Virginia designed a unique system that allowed auction item winners to be notified and to pay during the program that greatly decreased congestion at the end of the evening. I appreciated Virginia’s candor as well as her willingness to compromise. One of Virginia’s greatest assets is her sense of humor that makes working with her delightful. I commend Virginia for a splendid job"
"Your events are the most elegant bridal boutiques ever!"
