Experienced, Professional Coordinator made our wedding day PERFECT!

I am so happy I found Desiree and A Bride's BFF! They truly allowed me and my husband to enjoy our wedding day knowing that the details and set-ups were completely handled and under control.
Desiree is such a professional with so much knowledge about weddings and vendor details and protocol. She helped to organize our day and the details of the day in a way that we could never have done on our own. I literally had no worries on my wedding day (and that is a great feat since I am such a type A and hands-on person), because I had such confidence in Desiree executing our wedding vision. From my initial call with Mimi all the way through the day of coordination by Desiree and Kelly, it was a true pleasure working with this team and I am grateful I had them to guide me during the wedding planning process and day of execution.
I would recommend this company three times over. If you are hesitating with the idea of hiring a day of coordinator, just DO IT. It is well worth the money (and A Bride's BFF is actually very affordable and reasonably-priced for the area). This team is so knowledgeable , professional, and experienced, and they will guide you and help you achieve your wedding day vision. Thank you Desiree, Kelly, and Mimi for everything you did for Doug and I--we appreciate you more than I can ever express in words!

The best money I spent on our wedding

I'll admit, I was super skeptical about hiring a wedding planner. It wasn't the cost, it was more a question of if we really needed a wedding coordinator for a wedding that was less than 100 people. Spoiler: we absolutely did.

We got married in May 2020 but pushed our wedding reception twice due to covid. We worked with Tanisha prior to our reception and on the day of we worked with Tanisha and Desiree. They were flawless.

Our reception was in our backyard so, as I'm sure you can imagine, it isn't easy to just trust a stranger with responsibility of your house while you're off getting pictures taken. I never had any reservations about Tanisha. They handled the schedule, kept everything on track and made sure all of our guests with food needs received the proper food. I'm beyond happy with how it all turned out.

Best Hiring Decision We Made!

Hiring Mimi was one of the best decisions we made. She answered all of my 1000s of questions with patience and kindness. She was also great with my family during our rehearsal - we have lots of big personalities and she managed to lead us through a productive rehearsal! Going into our day we felt relaxed knowing Mimi was by our side the whole day - she kept all of the trains moving on time and was able to make up time when a couple of unexpected delays got us behind schedule (*she handled the unexpected moments incredibly well). If you're looking for a day of coordinator, don't think twice and hire one so you can enjoy the day. If you're looking for a day-of-coordinator who is detailed, understanding, calm, professional, amazingly well priced and will take care of all of your personal items and details with the same care you would - hire Mimi!

Exactly what we needed!

I planned a relatively small, low-key wedding (70 guests) but wanted to make sure I didn't forget anything and that the day went smoothly. We worked with Amanda at A Bride's BFF and definitely accomplished that goal! Amanda worked with us a month out to make sure we had thought of everything (including little things like a card box which I definitely needed and totally would have forgotten). Day of, she also made sure everything ended up at the venue, looked perfect, and that we stayed on schedule. We had a fabulous day and could not have done it without her!

Mimi is amazing!

Mimi and the whole Brides BFF team was simply outstanding!! Mimi helped our day run smooth, trouble-shot unexpected issues, and was a consistent source of calm and professionalism. We were so lucky to have her, and literally could not have imagined our day running anywhere near as smooth without her. She is very fairly priced, and totally worth every penny. If you are on the fence about having a coordinator like we were, then Mimi is the perfect choice for you!

Truly a bride’s BFF!

Mimi was a blessing!! I tend to be very hands on with things that I do. Mimi allowed me to relax in on my wedding day and really the month before the wedding. She managed all the vendors, kept me in loop and helped with all the day of details and setup. She was very personable and friendly but also professional. Her timeline was a lifesaver for me. I could not have had such a wonderful wedding without her. If you are reading this review, you have come to the right place. Contact Mimi and her team to help you. Who doesn’t need another bff?

I didn’t even have to think about the details on my wedding day

As we got close to our wedding day, we realized that managing all the day-of details and the timeline was causing a lot of stress. We brought Nageen from A Bride’s BFF in to help us manage our vendors and decor details and she was amazing! I didn’t even have to think about arranging last minute details with the vendors and Nageen and Mimi perfectly executed my vision for the day.

Allowed me to relax and enjoy my day!

I hired Brides Bff as a month of coordinator and they took so much stress off my plate leading up to the wedding. The wedding day all went off without a hitch and having Mimi there allowed my husband and I to relax and just enjoy our day with the confidence that everything was being handled. They were also super flexible with all my last minute curve balls (changes due to COVID, our rehearsal location changing last minute, etc.). They were also the best priced service I found. I would absolutely recommend them!

Great Experience and Peace of Mind!

Absolutely would recommend their 30-day out/day of services. From the first phone call Mimi put my mind at ease that all details would be taken care of, and when Nageen stepped in 30 days I couldn’t have felt more thankful for their services. We had to replan our wedding entirely due to COVID with a new date, new vendors and venue, and Nageen helped us roll with the punches and get a game plan together for the big day. Especially in the week before the wedding, knowing that she was confirming every detail with our vendors was a huge relief and allowed me to enjoy time with family in town. She attended the rehearsal and took care of all the cues for walking, music, etc. The day-of she made sure everything was set before guests arrived and checked in throughout the evening to make sure we were ready for the next thing. I had some anxious nerves during dinner and she couldn’t have made me feel more at ease and helped us Seamlessly rearrange the dances/toasts in the timeline so I could take a breather outside. At the end of the night she helped package up all our vases of flowers from the tables and made sure everything was set with the vendors so we didn’t have to go back for anything the next day. Everything was better than I could have expected and I couldn’t be more grateful and thankful for her work!

Great interview with a professional company!

This review is for the interview process. A friend recommended A Bride's BFF after having a great experience with them at her wedding, and I was very impressed with our initial conversations. I was very impressed with Mimi's promptness, clarity, and thoroughness in our initial conversations, and her rates were very reasonable. While I chose to go with a vendor who knew my venue more intimately, I have no doubt that any bride would be in great hands with A Bride's BFF!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

These ladies are efficient, organized and super sweet! They worked an extremely long day and both stayed later than the vast majority of planners I have seen at weddings. They made my job easier and the couple's day stress-free.

Mimi is a delightful day-of coordinator, with a calm demeanor. She made it easy for me to do what I needed to get good video. Many coordinators forget that the vendors are all working to give their customer the best results, and will start directing or limiting the vendors. Mimi was more interested in helping me and the others do our best. Thanks!
