We hired You Name It Events for our Day of Coordination. We originally were going to work with Paige on our day but she got promoted! We were lucky enough that Leanne, the company owner, prepped our event. We prepared all the required documents and attended all meetings that helped Leanne and team understand the vision and schedule for our wedding day. Taylor and Gina were our Day of Coordinators. Taylor and Gina had calm, kind, graceful, organized, and commanding presences. They got any job that needed to get done quickly and efficiently. My now husband and I were able to enjoy our wedding day since we knew Taylor and Gina had everything under control. We highly recommend You Name It Events! -

Katie Sent on 11/28/2022Amazing Day of Coordination!!
My husband and I are so thankful we hired YNI to help coordinate our big day. Leanne and Paige were so easy and fun to work with! They answered my endless questions and gave great suggestions. Leanne, Paige & Taylor coordinated the most beautiful wedding day for us. All of the decor was set up perfectly according to my vision! The girls worked tirelessly setting up all our Photo Booth props, place settings, and votives. Not to mention they lit over 250 candles for us :) Leanne, Paige & Taylor ensured our day ran smoothly from beginning to end. There was a miscommunication with our dessert vendor but Leanne and Paige resolved it immediately. The clean up was seamless as they organized and boxed up all of our items & loaded them into our cars at the end of the night. YNI allowed my husband and I, as well as my mother to enjoy the day without stress! Leanne even thought to bring our favorite cocktails out to my hubby & me during cocktail hour as we snapped a few golden hour photos. Our wedding day was an absolute dream and we couldn’t have done it without YNI! Their professionalism and dedication is exceptional! -

Leanne at You Name It Events was INCREDIBLE!! Our wedding needed to be re-scheduled TWICE due to COVID, and Leanne was supportive, and beyond helpful throughout the entire process. She was prepared for everything that could possibly come up, had great relationships with all of our vendors, and took care of anything that could have been a distraction from our special day. -

If you're on the fence, hire a day-of coordinator--you won't regret it! We were contemplating not hiring a day-of coordinator because all of our other vendors (reception venue, church, & DJ) were super helpful, but we are SO happy that we ended up doing it! It was so nice to be able to sit down with Susan beforehand to talk through our vision for the big day and review any details that we may have missed, and her execution day of was flawless. She was always on top of communication with us, and it was a relief having her as our main point of contact to coordinate all details with all of the other vendors, as well. We said this to her many times throughout our wedding day, but we felt instant comfort whenever Susan would appear because we knew she was on top of everything and keeping the day flowing smoothly! It was especially helpful to have her helping out since we had different locations for getting ready in the morning, then moved to the church, then photos, then finally the venue reception--while each other vendor was awesome for each of their parts and also helped keep us on track, having a day-of coordinator to act as a quarterback for all of the moving pieces was so helpful and we couldn't be more grateful for Susan and team. -

Superior Event Planner
Leanne Valdes, owner and coordinator of You Name It Events, was fantastic. We utilized her Day Of Event Services, that included everything that needed to be done one month before the wedding. Included was advice, referrals, follow-up with vendors and on-site coordination. I am the Mother of the Bride and have had party planning experience with other events that I hosted but the services that YNIE, provided were exceptional, allowing me to enjoy my own daughter's wedding. Leanne was knowledgable with protocol, assessing the amounts of food and drink correctly, and addressing needs as they were presented. She and her staff were professional throughout the entire process. Most importantly, she listened to what we wanted to do and did not insist on changing things to her liking, as other planners do. If she thought that something needed to be done another way, she let us know so that we could decide. I would definitely use her services again and recommend her services. -

We didn’t actually end up having our wedding the way we had planned due to covid but Leanne was amazing every step of the way. We had multiple FaceTime calls on how to make our plans work despite a global pandemic. She’s organized, and friendly. We would definitely hire her again next time we plan a party. -

My personality isn’t type A, it is type triple A. Thank goodness for Leanne and YNIE! I was able to thoroughly enjoy our entire day knowing they were our air traffic controllers.
It’s clear Leanne and team can work with anyone and everyone as they are rockstar team players. She drives accountability across all vendors, which is so important for a successful event and a complicated dance to achieve. I might ask Leanne to come to my work to share her knowledge on expectations management.
YNIE gets you organized quickly with their easy-to-use portal. You up front understand the details that NO ONE TELLS YOU ABOUT that you’ll need to think through with your partner and family. These materials can be distributed to all vendors and really helps you get organized during your wedding planning process.
Thank you thank you thank you! I can’t recommend Leanne and her team enough. -

Leanne and her team are AMAZING. (Vendor - Videographer Review)
I've had the HONOR of working along side Leanne and her team on several weddings over the years, so I feel its time to let the world know how amazing You Name It Events really is. For starters, they are always cool, calm and collected; which, is contagious to everyone else on the wedding day (most importantly, YOU the couple.) They are great at leading the day with out coming across as micro managing, which, for a fellow creative is a great feeling. They always keep EVERYONE in the loop with whats coming next on the schedule, so we don't have to worry about missing anything. I could keep going, but I want to end with this. You Name It Events love and are great at what they do, but don't listen to me, find out for yourself! -

Leanne and her team were so amazing throughout our entire wedding process! Right away, I could tell that Leanne has an extremely warm personality, attention to detail and is very organized. She and Danielle coordinated the day of with us and ensured everything was just perfect. Having done weddings at our venue before, I really felt I could trust her to know what would work best. Leanne answered any questions I had leading up to the big day and also gave us great referrals and ideas. I had no worries about the little things- like whether our signs and wedding bands made it to the church on time- and thanks to them, I remained calm and was able to really enjoy every moment of the day. They even took some photos so that I would have some to cherish before the professional shots were passed along to us. All of my family and friends were so impressed with the YNI team and greatly appreciated their assistance! Thank you so much YouNameIt Events! -

Fatima D. Sent on 07/09/2019Just hire them now... seriously.
I am an anxious person by nature and knew that I would need a point-person on the day of my wedding in order to truly relax and enjoy myself. My husband and I were recently married and hired You Name if Events for their "week-of coordinating" package. Honestly, hiring You Name It was the BEST DECISION EVER. We worked with Leanne, Susan, and Jen. Susan was our day-of coordinator and we cannot thank her enough for being the calm presence in an anxiety inducing environment. Susan and I were in contact for 3 months prior to the wedding and she reviewed all of my vendor contracts and planning documents, went over the master timeline with my husband and I to ensure good flow, and was available with tips/ideas/suggestions on things we would have never thought of. The You Name It Events online planning portal is super helpful and forces you to think about things that you should think about, but would never do so without prompting. Susan ran my rehearsal since my officiant was a friend and made me feel at ease whenever an issue came up. On the day of the wedding, Susan was right where we needed her, when we needed her there. It was so nice to be able to say "just talk to Susan about it" or "Susan will handle that" whenever something came up on our wedding day.
Leanne was available to me by email and for random questions that would come up for almost 2 years before my actual wedding (we booked them pretty early on). What I love most about this team is their ability to give honest and helpful feedback about decisions being made while also respecting your autonomy as a couple to make sure your day is exactly what you want it to be. I can't stress enough how stress-free the You Name It team made everything out to be. They are well worth the money! Thanks again, Susan! -

In the time leading up to our wedding, I had no doubt that everything was going to be perfect after meeting with Leanne. As someone who works in the wedding industry I had so many people ask why I hired a day of coordinator and designer and after her seeing Leanne and her team in action they all knew why! She helped with the design for the day and really pulled all of my ideas and Pinterest boards together so that everything was cohesive and beautiful! She even designed our invitations, seating chart, and other paper goods. If you are thinking about hiring You Name It Events as a planner or day of coordinator I strongly recommend that you do! We could not have been happier with how everything turned out!
