About Kelly + Ben
Kelly and Ben’s wedding at the stunning Birkby House in Leesburg, Virginia, was nothing short of magical. Both doctors, Kelly and Ben first met in Chicago and later moved to the DC area together, where their love story continued to blossom. Their wedding day was a celebration of their shared journey, filled with intimate moments and joyful energy. Although the weather threatened rain, the skies stayed clear, creating the perfect setting for their romantic and whimsical affair. Surrounded by the historic charm of Birkby House and an abundance of lush florals, the atmosphere felt like a secret garden brought to life.
One of the most memorable details of Kelly and Ben’s wedding was their creative incorporation of ice cream—a nod to their favorite date activity. Guests enjoyed a sweet treat that added a personal touch and brought smiles all around.
Planning Kelly and Ben’s wedding was an honor, especially since they came to us under unexpected circumstances. Referred to us after their original wedding planner canceled, we were determined to make their day seamless and unforgettable. When a mishap with their store-bought cake left it mangled, we worked with the catering team to smooth over the top and transform it back into something beautiful. Challenges like these are why we do what we do—to bring calm, creativity, and solutions to our couples’ most special day. Kelly and Ben’s wedding was a true testament to love, resilience, and the magic of a perfect celebration.
Kind Words for Tate + Co
“Absolutely amazing! We couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner than Madi and her team at Tate & Co. From the very beginning, Madi was so organized, professional, and attentive to every detail. She truly listened to our vision and made it come to life in a way we couldn't have imagined. Her team was always on top of everything, took over communication to lower our stress levels, and thrived with the freedom we gave her to make decisions that fit with what was truly important to us -- spending time with the people we care about. The day of the wedding was flawless, thanks to all the finishing touches Madi completed. I highly recommend Madi to anyone who hopes to trust someone to implement their vision, protect their priorities and help create the most stunning day. I would use Tate & Co for any future event planning needs and know they would craft an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Madi, for making our dream wedding come true!”
