Redefining Service Through Active Listening & Unwavering Care 

Washington DC Event Planners

To be greeted with a smile, to be welcomed into a space, to feel like you belong and that people are excited to greet you… that was the difference I felt at Eleven Madison Park. And that is the same difference I have endeavored to make in event planning over the last eighteen years. 

True, unmitigated, unadulterated hospitality.  

I have a little ritual. Once every few years, I will return to my favorite restaurant in New York City, just to experience it again. There, besides having the most delicious wines paired with the most wonderful food, I experienced something that changed my life. 

(AKA, The Way We Make People Feel) 

All About Hospitality

My love of good food, good wine, and exceptional experiences has led me to a lifestyle of hospitality. Combine that with my years of experience as the VP for a Fortune 50 company, and I’m remarkably well-equipped to produce layered, personalized events. I am just as in love with logistics as I am with getting to know every single person we get to work with. I can think of no better purpose for my skills than bringing people together with intention and grace.  

Hi, I’m Teresa.

We meticulously craft each event to captivate all five senses, ensuring a memorable journey from inception to execution, whether for intimate gatherings or grand-scale productions.

When kings and queens entertain, the royal court becomes an extension of the family. Whether it’s a wedding or corporate event, we want everyone to feel like family.

Our name, Latin for “King and Queen,” encapsulates our mission: to create events that embody sophistication, grace, and genuine warmth. 

Behind the name

Jeannie

She is exactly what you need/want in a wedding planner and so much more! She was creative, responsive, organized, and also just a delight to work with. My now husband and I started saying TT - Trust Teresa! We did a non-traditional format, and Teresa was great at helping us navigate that process. She's a true pro, and I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

"TERESA WAS FANTASTIC! "

Teresa was such a pleasure to work with; she is so friendly, responsive, and knowledgeable. She kept us on track, built an excellent plan for the day entirely in keeping with our style and preferences, thought of things that wouldn’t have ever crossed our minds, and helped make the whole process feel so much easier. Our wedding was perfect, and Teresa and her team went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly for the two of us, our parents, bridal party, and all the guests. 

"TERESA AND HER TEAM WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND"

Katie 

Teresa and her team were essential in pulling off what our family and friends have called "the best reception ever!" The R&R team were friendly, courteous (for example, "would you like to cut the cake now?" vs "it's time to cut the cake!"), professional, prepared, and organized. They helped everything run smoothly and took SO much stress off of me, my fiance, our families, and the wedding party. I HIGHLY recommend Rex & Regina for your special events!

"TERESA AND HER TEAM ARE TRULY FANTASTIC!"

Megan, Central Union Mission 

Your taste, your recommendations, your judgement, your thoroughness and attention to detail. I learned so much from you over the last few months and will always admire your graceful professionalism.

"I TRULY CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR BEING SOMEONE I FULLY TRUST"

Our memories are tied to our senses, our ability to touch, taste, hear, smell, and see. To create a memorable wedding means to create a richly textured experience for everyone, from the music you hear to the mouth-watering meals served with a smile. Events are sensory experiences that immerse everyone in the soul of your occasion, from the moment they arrive to the moment they step out the door.

Lita

On our first phone call, she asked me about what I wanted and who we were as a couple. From then on, she was always paying extreme attention to our vision. She also came up with many great ideas that made our day so special, and she always advocated for us. During the weekend of the wedding, she made sure that things ran smoothly. She is incredibly detailed and organized. Everyone knew where they had to be and when they had to be there. We are so sad that our calls are over because the wedding is done. We loved working with Teresa!

"TERESA IS THE BEST WEDDING PLANNER YOU COULD ASK FOR."

Aditi S 

Not only was she professional, timely, and easy to talk to, she went above and beyond, bringing a whole team to help us the weekend of the wedding (I should mention we also had a Christian ceremony and cocktails the day before), and made sure that my voice was being heard during the whole process. One of my favorite things about working with her was that she really made me feel calm and helped me in making hard decisions, by really taking the bride and groom's feelings into account. Our wedding(s) ran so smoothly, and we really loved that we could enjoy our day and not worry about the small details. Teresa has a great system of making a playbook, and she is willing to go the extra mile if needed to ensure she has all the details she needs to make your day successful. To my future Indian brides, Teresa is a great fit!

"SHE REALLY MADE ME FEEL CALM"

Erica 

And she was going to make it all happen beautifully. Working with her was easy, she was friendly, responsive, had helpful suggestions and ideas based on her extensive experience and worked with all the details that were already in place. I felt I could trust her with the big details, and I was free to spend my precious last month on all the little fun things without stress. Because of Teresa, my husband, my family, and I were able to enjoy the wedding as guests. I'm biased of course, but it was one of the most elegant and fun weddings I've been to, with everything playing out better than I had imagined. Our only job was to have a great time soaking it in. I could not recommend Teresa enough, I only wish we had hired her earlier in the process!

"WALKING OUT OF THAT FIRST MEETING WAS SUCH A RELIEF, BECAUSE I FELT LIKE THE WEDDING WAS FINALLY IN SAFE HANDS"
