"To say our wedding day was one of the best days of our lives is an understatement and Veronica played a major part in making it happen. My husband and I planned a smallish wedding and I thought I could handle everything myself. We brought Big Day Events on about halfway through the planning process to help coordinate the weekend. It was the best decision we could have made. It allowed my husband and I (along with our families) to completely be present and not worry about a thing leading up to and during the event. I had the autonomy to pick my vendors, tell them my vision and have Veronica handle the painstaking process of executing it behind the scenes. She coordinated not only with vendors, but with our wedding party and even with disagreements I was having with my MOB. During the actual weekend she came in and not only did her job, but saved the day multiple times: my earring broke and she had super glue; my train catch broke and she had safety pins; my bridesmaids were late and she was tracking them down; our photography session ran over and she had appetizers we had missed waiting at our table. I cannot recommend Big Day Events enough to trust them with your big day - whatever that may be." - Sarah, Bride

"Veronica is a true professional... We've worked with her on many events and she is one of the best.
Everything is planned to and orchestrated like a well oiled machine. If you're putting together an event or wedding Big Day Events is a wise choice for your point person and planner." - Cory Leonardo, Owner, Party Zone Productions

"We loved working with Veronica! She helped up find the perfect venue and guided us in drawing a great balance between our budget and creating the wedding day of our dreams. Her calm presence on our wedding day was exactly what we needed to truly enjoy the day without worrying about the details. We knew she had it all covered!" - Megan, Bride

Incredible Day of Coordinator

Veronica was so much more than a day-of coordinator. We were planning our wedding out of town at Hazelnut Farm and she walked us through every step of the process remotely beginning in January. Big Day Events was worth every penny and more. Veronica was available for every question and phone call, she even went out of her way to coordinate our linen and table top rentals. She was extremely patient with this type-A bride and I will always be grateful for that. She coordinated effortlessly with our band, caterer, bar service, florist, photographer and dessert caterer. She had the bridal suite packed up and ready to go so I could enjoy the end of the night. We will always be so grateful to Veronica and Big Day Events.

Veronica & Big Day Events is the Wedding MVP!

Veronica was the MVP of our wedding weekend - cannot recommend her enough! We got married in Louisville in September 2022 and we couldn’t have done it without her. Our wedding was actually a ‘destination’ wedding for us & our guests from Chicago and as we were planning the big day, it really became clear that we needed someone local to be our boots on the ground. While we didn’t originally budget for a coordinator, it was the best investment we made. Veronica was super communicative and organized throughout the planning process, providing honest feedback and suggestions, reigning us in where necessary but also being our advocate in coordinating with our other vendors like our venue (where she actually used to work!). In addition to our virtual prep meetings on Zoom, we met her a few times during our trips down to Louisville, my mom and cousin also remarked on how much they enjoyed her and were glad we had hired her. Personality wise, she really did fit in with us and our bridal party. Veronica seamlessly fit in with us all and was that maestro behind the scenes that went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly (including helping to move some items into our ‘honeymoon suite’ while we were out and enjoying our welcome party with our guests!). When the big day arrived, everything (at least from our view) appears to go off without a hitch. Seriously….there were no issues, problems, or hiccups. We were able to enjoy the day completely knowing that Veronica had it under control. My mom couldn’t stop gushing over Veronica and how we really hit the jackpot with her. And to top it all off, a couple months later we received a package in the mail from her with a Christmas ornament customized with our wedding date. As always, Veronica goes above and beyond to make the moment special.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
