I had the opportunity to work with Brooke Hopper as the wedding planner for my nephew’s ceremony, and she went above and beyond in every way. Her attention to detail was excellent, and she handled every moving part with calm professionalism. Weddings can be stressful — family dynamics, anxious brides and grooms, and vendors who don’t always deliver — but Brooke managed it all with grace.
As both the officiant and the owner of the property where the wedding was held, I especially appreciated her respect, communication, and ability to keep everything on track. When you only get one chance to do it right, you need someone like Brooke.
Brooke with Mayapple Weddings did an amazing job bringing our wedding to life. We did not start out with a particularly strong aesthetic vision for the event, but knew exactly the vibe we wanted: personal, relaxed, and fun.
Thanks to Brooke’s attention to detail and organization, our wedding was all of these things — and more. Brooke helped us keep our wedding extremely intentional, checking in at every step to make sure it still felt like us.
Brooke kept us on track from the initial stages of planning. She prompted us to think through every detail of the event so when the day arrived, we could simply sit back and enjoy the party. These details ranged from silverware choice to bringing activities for kids to revising and redesigning our invitations and signage. She skillfully coordinated all of our vendors, making sure everyone knew where they needed to be and when. She also helped me navigate through the weeds of contracts and ensured all our questions were answered along the way.
Leading up to the wedding, we were lucky enough to experience some unpredictable weather. Brooke created multiple contingency plans and executed them beautifully on the day of. We felt very at peace with Brooke running the show. We knew she would do everything she could to help us have the wedding we wanted.
Overall, we have nothing but wonderful things to say about working with Brooke and Mayapple Weddings. We had an absolutely beautiful day and wouldn’t have changed a thing. I feel confident we could not have pulled together this wedding without Brooke and would recommend her to anyone without reservation!

At Mayapple, I’m not just your wedding planner, I’m your wedding bestie - with skills.
I’m organized, obsessed with details and logistics, and follow a logical process. I love to talk about vibe and aesthetic and check out Etsy for the perfect little thing that will bring it all together. I love to see wedding band performances and sample wedding cake (and I have some of my faves, too). I love making each and every wedding special and unique. I dig the curated feel. So when the planning and coordinating and logistics and quotes and contracts and spreadsheets get to be too much… That’s what I’m here for. I got you.
For me, weddings are art. A very personal kind of performance art, you might say. There are the traditions and guest lists, but a wedding is really an outward expression of who you and your partner are as a couple, and what special piece of that partnership you want to share with others. As a wedding planner serving the MD, VA, and DC metro area, I believe weddings are about curating an intimate, special place to gather together and share experiences and emotions.
Beautiful weddings don’t happen by accident; they happen with focus, organization, attention to detail, and intention. Here’s how it works when you hire me as your wedding planner:
1. Browse my planning and coordination packages, plus my à la carte options you can mix and match to fit your needs. I’ve got you covered!
2. Once you hire me as your wedding planner, we’ll have a virtual meeting to get to know each other, get a vibe check for your wedding day, and outline your priorities. It will be organized, there will be an agenda, I’ll take notes, and there will be action items - because that’s how I get things done.
3. Let’s get this party started! From vendor communication to timeline creation, I'll transform your vision into a well-organized, beautifully curated celebration.
Schedule a free 30-minute virtual consultation to learn more about how we can work together. I can’t wait to help you design a wedding that feels intentionally, uniquely yours!

Hi! I’m Brooke and I love weddings.
As a planner who specializes in intimate weddings and detail-rich wedding planning services, I focus on designing celebrations that feel intentional, personal, and deeply reflective of who you are as a couple. In weddings, you can make your own beautiful, emotional, ephemeral world come to life for a brief time. I love seeing guests' reactions at my parties - the ooos! and the wows! when they notice the attention to detail. They know it’s something special; they can feel it. That’s what I want to help create for you.
