At Your Service Events Planner created and sponsored the first Phenomenal Women’s Luncheon. The nonprofit event was successful and well attended. All planning, organization and execution was done by Connie Amos-Parsons the owner and wedding and events planner
Ms. Amos-Parsons has planned and organized many weddings and events in the Central VA area and was wedding planner for Rebec Vineyards from 2011-2014. I attended the Open House and over 25 top notch vendors participated including J Crew and Men’s Wearhouse, and the Mock Wedding and Fashion Show Ms Amos-Parsons designed and executed was elegant and amazing.
Connie is now spreading her wings and working for nonprofit events for the community and planning a Phenomenal Women’s Heart Walk for Region 2000 for heart disease and stroke awareness. I would highly recommend Connie for any event or wedding knowing that it will be perfectly executed and successful.
Connie with At Your Service Event Planner is phenomenal to work with. With her true professionalism, she coordinates and executes plans for various events. She makes sure that she is looking at all aspects of the event and areas that would otherwise not be covered. Within a team setting, Connie, as the leader, excels at managing ideas and streamlining them for the best results and not just the result of one person or another.
In addition to her excellence at events and fundraisers, her setups for wedding events are great! She is fast and efficient at setting up her booths at events, very knowledgeable in what she is speaking to and polite when working with couples. I have seen her work in booths at Belk, at wedding events at vineyards and other times to ensure that they are the best that they can be. Connie is phenomenal to work with!

Connie and her team planned my wedding and it was awesome! They made my special day into everything I wanted. Connie helped me pick out other vendors and helped me shop for all the decorating decor I needed. She was there for every step of the way and I will definitely call her to plan future events for me.

At Your Service provided the decorations for our Sweet Briar College March Mixer, a Great Gatsby themed 20s dance. The decor was beautiful, and a great value for our Student Activities budget. Many thanks to Ms. Connie, and her team for their professionalism and creativity in transforming the conference center. We will definitely call on you again.

Connie and her staff really helped make our wedding day and our reception BBQ seem so effortless and smooth. Connie was SO responsive to all my calls and questions, knew all the best local vendors, and had many great ideas for decor, food, and all details. She was always friendly, in a great mood, and so buoyant, made our events stress-free. I would highly recommend Connie and AYS.

So helpful
Mrs. Connie and the girls were so sweet and helpful and I had little too stress over on my big day! Mrs. Connie and I met several times before the big day and was extremely helpful!

Connie Amos-Parsons was exactly what I needed at one of the most stressful times in my life. I would not have had a clue as to what vendors to use for our needs for the wedding – it was not at an established venue. She not only saved me so much money after looking over existing contracts, but introduced me to so many wonderful vendors/people that saved me additional time and money. She kept my daughter on track with her timeline – my daughter resides in another city and calmed my nerves so many times. At the very last hours before the wedding she picked up items at my request that I could not get out to get – she never complained. I could go on and on – but let me just say, no one should consider having a wedding without a wedding planner and I would certainly recommend Connie to anyone.

Thanks so much for your excellence at the King Family Vineyards wedding. You and all your staff were competent and unfailingly cheerful, helpful and gracious. It is so rare and welcome to come across a service provider with such integrity, who really keeps things in perspective, understands good manners, and puts people first. Thanks so much!

“Connie is such a lovely example of professionalism and expertise in the event and wedding industry. Her dedication and passion towards serving her clients is inspiring and truly remarkable. In addition to providing high quality service to each client, Connie takes the time to mentor and teach those hoping to enter the event industry. Connie made the time to instill essential advice to me when she became a professional consultant to the Wedding Planner Society as well as to others through various internship opportunities she provided. Connie is amazing to work with and is a great example to follow. I sincerely recommend Connie without reservation.”

“Connie was amazing to work with! When I met her, which was often, I truly felt like she cared so much about us and helped to make our wedding what we hoped it would be. She was available whenever I needed her and helped to keep me on track. I would recommend At Your Service wedding planners for any bride who wants a flawless wedding without the worry or hassle. Connie has a great heart and is very good at what she does!”

As a day-of coordinator, Connie exceeded our expectations. She pays great attention to detail and is very personable. We were pleasantly surprised and impressed with how readily available she was to meet with us, return a phone call or address a concern. We were able to relax (as much as can be expected!) and enjoy our wedding knowing that Connie was working hard to make our day perfect.

I attended a wedding and reception last Fall where Connie Amos-Parker, “At Your Service Event Planner” planned and executed a flawless event. She remained calm, confident, and professional throughout all tasks – keeping the bride on schedule during a most hectic day. Excellent, flawless, personable.

Connie is amazing. She helped me so much with booking my trip to the Sandals Montego Bay resort. Not only did she help me with the booking she also answered all the questions I had before leaving. It was my first flight so I had quite a few questions. Sandals was absolutely amazing! Everyone there was so friendly. The food is great and so is the service. Once we arrived we were greeted with cool towels that smelled like lemon. The whole time we were there we were treated like royalty. I will definitely return and I truly believe you cannot have a bad time there.

Dont know if the last thing I wrote posted, so Imma try agian. lol! Connie was my wedding planner and she was AMAZING! Very professional, but also very friendly and easy to talk and work with. She is willing to go out of her way and drive way out of her way (per my experience) to help you out and make your day go as smoothly as possible. I loved Connie and I know if anyone uses her services, they will too! And the great thing is we still keep in contact! She actually cares about her customers. I like that!

After trying to coordinate our wedding on our own, we lost our reception venue and became frustrated at the mere thought of how our big day was going to turn out. After being referred to At Your Service Event Planners, we set up a consultation and they happily agreed to take on our last minute wedding emergency. The team was very professional and went the extra mile to satisfy us. They found us a beautiful wedding reception venue and took care of absolutely every step of the wedding process. The other vendors even complimented on the professionalism and punctuality of the At Your Service team. This wedding team made our big day stress free and it turned out perfectly! We recommend any one with any type of event to contact At Your Service Event Planners. You will definitely NOT be disappointed!
Thank you so much!

Starting a business is nerve-wracking, but Connie makes it fun. I learned SO much in such a short time. Connie is knowledgeable, encouraging, and enthusiastic. After the Small Business Startup class, I feel confident to move forward with the resources she provided. Thank you, Connie, and thank you, TRBC, for helping me use the opportunity God has given me for His glory.
