Yolonda is simply the best and truly has a gift!!! When My husband and I decided we wanted to have an elevated elopement, our first and only call was to Yolonda. We knew that BLE/The Detail Collective would execute our vision flawlessly! Yolonda helped us to find an amazing venue when our initial plans fell through. She made the whole process so much FUN and helped us to stay in the moment throughout the planning process. She executed our vision far beyond our wildest dreams and our guests are still talking about how beautiful the design was. She literally brought our Pinterest board to life! We were so sad when it was all over but we can’t to work with her and the team again on future events!!

The best to ever do it. If you have ANY question about who to hire as your coordination team, look NO further! The entire team was amazing. We had extremely high expectations for our wedding, and the By Love Events team put in an incredible amount of effort to make sure we were happy. So thankful to them for making our wedding such an incredible experience.

I am extremely grateful for Yolonda and the services provided with By Love Events. I came to her with a last minute private event I needed executed in four weeks, and she went above and beyond to make it happen. Not only did she help with design details, she also facilitated communication between vendors and myself. She was very organized, professional, and despite time constraints ensured us that everything would be taken care of before the event date. BLE helped my vision come to life and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect event.

Our experience with Yolonda (BLE ) has been nothing but amazing we first met in 2021 as I was recently engaged and looking for someone to help me bring my vision to life after having our first meeting I knew she was the perfect person to hire for my wedding and she not only brought my vision to life she executed from start to finish. My husband and I were married April 2023. December 2023 I contacted her again for a surprise dinner for my husband once again she delivered. June 2024 she did our baby shower. August 2025 she our hibachi night on a Friday and on Sunday she also did our sons first birthday party as you see we have been with her for a few years and we will never use anyone else bc when you work with team (BLE) you will get the most amazing service and you will not want to use any one else. If you are looking for someone with great communication on time for meetings and helping you through the entire process (BLE) is who you should hire for your next event no matter what your are having birthday, holiday, engagement, kids she does it all she is the go to for all your events and I mean all events no matter to big or small the (BLE) team will deliver each and every time. I promise you will NOT be disappointed She is the best of the best.

BLE helped me plan a graduation party for my wife in Virginia Beach. I was very grateful for their assistance as I am a partier NOT a planner. BLE was very helpful in crafting an event that my wife loved from the decor, to the logistics, food and even cleanup. In addition to the event they helped me with, I've also had the pleasure to attend two weddings coordinated by BLE. I had an amazing time at both. Anytime I see a wedding by BLE I expect amazing design/decor, great music/food, and a smooth experience. Can't wait to work with them again!

Yolonda at By Love Events is a master. I called her mid-February with nothing planned, and I only had two available dates, both less than 90 days away. After one meeting, Yolonda understood my vision, my concerns and my budget. She did the research for a venue - and what we found was amazing, even though when she first mentioned it, I wasn’t sure. Every vendor she suggested was professional, accommodating, and in my budget. And the vendors love working with her, because she is organized, professional and FUN!!! Day-of coordination. She sent me a timeline. I told her, I just need to know when and where you need me. She was all set. If there were problems, I never knew about them. Everything ran on schedule except the end of the reception, because everyone was having such a good time that they didn’t want to leave. My husband and I were able to have fun and enjoy each other on our wedding day. We were surrounded by friends and family who have commented that they have never seen such a well-organized reception. Our officiant touched people’s hearts. Our venue amazed, our decorations were beautiful, the DJ kept the party jumping, the food and cake were so good, and our pictures provide beautiful evidence of all of it. Because of Yolonda. Love her!!
