We’re so glad you’re here!

Now that the post-engagement high is starting to give way to the exciting (and kind of overwhelming) reality of planning the most amazing day of your life, we’d love to come alongside you and be there to help you manage all of the details that go into planning your big day. Our goal is to make this process as stress-free as possible so that you are able to be fully present and enjoy every moment of this incredibly special time with friends and family.

We are the Chancey Charm team, and we are a national wedding planning firm with experienced local planners in over a dozen cities from coast to coast.

“Lauren is one of the best decisions that I made for my wedding. Lauren took care of everything from start to finish and EVERY SINGLE one of my vendors complimented on her clear and detailed communication. ”

LAUREN HARBIN (STEARNS)

With experience in both event planning and graphic design, Lauren’s primary focus when working with couples is to give them an unmatched client experience. Lauren has consistent communication with her couples from the booking process through the wedding weekend to keep them on track and so no one feels overwhelmed by the planning process. Lauren makes sure to focus on the details.

From vendor communication to having tissues on hand, she makes sure that clients can be fully present with friends and family on their wedding day. Lauren is a Pennsylvania native that found her way to Virginia thanks to the welcoming doors of James Madison University (JMU) – Go Dukes! While attending JMU, Lauren worked as the Director of Special Events for the student programming board as well as a graphic designer in JMU’s Office of Admissions. In her spare time, Lauren enjoys playing with her 90 lb. bernedoodle, Leia, going out for tacos, and taking Orange Theory classes. She is married to a Star Wars fan. He even proposed on May the Fourth (be with you), and they love hosting game nights with friends.

ALYSSA GLORIOSO

Alyssa discovered her love for events while working in the university setting. Her past experiences both personally and professionally have helped Alyssa expertly guide her couples throughout the planning process. As a planner and designer, Alyssa loves gorgeous florals and greenery, and understands the importance of logistics and details. But she never loses sight of the fact that her clients’ wedding should be an unforgettable experience for them and their guests.

For Alyssa, weddings are about the people, and she loves helping her clients create a welcoming space for everyone to celebrate this momentous occasion together. When Alyssa is not planning events, you can find her outside reconnecting with nature by kayaking or going for a run. She also enjoys cooking–and eating–new recipes.

Kathryne’s planning career in planning began in 2009 when planning her mother’s wedding. The passion she had for the industry was unmistakeable from the start and shows itself in how she truly cares for each client and event she plans.

Originally from New York City, Kathryne now proudly calls Maryland home and loves exploring new places in the DMV area. When she is not planning, you can find Kathryne with her family and friends, discovering a new local restaurant, traveling, or taking a hike.
