One Twenty West is a wedding planning and design studio for couples who care deeply about how their celebration looks, feels, and unfolds.
Hampton Roads Wedding Planner
Founded in New York City and now based in Coastal Virginia, we are a Hampton Roads wedding planner serving clients throughout Virginia Beach, Richmond, and destination markets. We plan with both design and hospitality in mind, because how it looks and how it feels have always been the same conversation.
The most memorable celebrations aren’t built from trends or templates.
Design should reflect the couple, not the planner. Every choice has a purpose. Every moment is considered. Sometimes that means layered design and bold visual impact. Sometimes it means restraint and quiet elegance. Both are right when they’re honest.
We don’t arrive with a signature look. We arrive with the skills, the experience, and the genuine curiosity to help you find yours.
They’re built from listening. To who you are. To what you value. To how you want to feel while hosting the people you love most.
Where they eat, where they travel, how they dress. Every choice is intentional. The restaurant has to be worth photographing. The hotel has to feel like something. They want their wedding to check every one of those same boxes, and then some.
Our clients have taste, and they know it.
They come to us at different points in the process. Some want full leadership from the very first decision. Some need a skilled hand to help them land what they’ve started. Some have done the work themselves and want the confidence of knowing someone exceptional is running the day. What they all have in common is this: they could find someone cheaper elsewhere, and they’re not interested. They want a partner who takes the whole picture seriously.
One Twenty West is led by founder and planner Alisha Brown, supported by a trusted team on wedding days and event weekends.
Alisha brings more than a decade of experience producing celebrations across New York, New Jersey, Washington D.C., and destination markets to every client she works with. That background isn’t just a credential. It’s the reason her work is different.
High-production events in demanding markets require a specific kind of calm, a specific kind of decisiveness, and a specific kind of creative problem-solving that most planners never develop because they’ve never needed to. Alisha has. She has seen a lot, solved a lot, and knows how to keep a celebration on course without anyone feeling the effort behind it.
That experience is now the foundation of the OTW Blueprint™, her proprietary five-phase planning framework that brings the same structure and intention she developed in New York to every celebration she leads in Virginia and beyond. It’s why her clients don’t just end up with a beautiful wedding. They end up with a well-hosted experience.
The Team Behind
One Twenty West
Every One Twenty West client knows exactly who is leading their celebration. That clarity and consistency is part of the experience.
We protect the vision. We listen carefully. We guide thoughtfully. And we hold the details quietly in the background so you can stay present and enjoy every moment of what you’ve built.
From the first conversation, you’ll notice the difference.
Every celebration we lead moves through the OTW Blueprint™, our structured five-phase planning process. It’s what keeps nothing unanchored and no decision isolated. It’s what makes the experience feel calm for you and effortless for your guests. And it’s what ensures that whether you come to us at the beginning or the middle of your planning journey, you always know what’s happening and what’s coming next.
Alisha was professional, caring, and incredibly detailed from start to finish.
She kept us calm and focused even when things felt overwhelming, and everything came together beautifully.
