I cannot say enough good things about Yvonne (Events by Mayven). Even though she only had a few reviews at the time I found her, they were all glowing. I got a good feeling based on those reviews, and I'm SO GLAD we chose her. She is THE REASON our wedding day went as smoothly as it did.

From our first meeting, I could tell that Yvonne was sweet, direct, organized, incredibly detail-oriented, and empathetic. She made sure to ask me and my now-husband what our goals for the wedding day were - i.e., what was important to each of us individually. She also made sure to ask about any sensitive family dynamics so that she could be mindful of those and put out any day-of fires if needed.

Trust me when I say that hiring Yvonne will be one of the best decisions you could possibly make for your wedding day. Whether you are totally unfamiliar with the wedding planning process or you've been in 10 bridal parties, Yvonne has something to offer everyone. Meeting with her was like couples counseling in a way, because it allowed us to sit and focus on our wedding day (and each other!) at regular intervals. When we were trying to decide on a photo location for couple's portraits between the ceremony and reception, Yvonne got in her own car and drove around Westchester, made calls, and scouted out some gorgeous options for us. Her eagle eye while scoping out locations on Instagram is the reason we were able to do our portraits at Sleepy Hollow Lighthouse - which had previously looked like it was closed due to nearby construction!

Yvonne went above and beyond in every way I can think of. She made detailed timelines and packing lists. Throughout the day if I felt even the slightest bit stressed, she immediately picked up on it and found a way to alleviate it. She was a kind familiar face, guiding us and accompanying us every step of the way without being intrusive whatsoever. Six weeks before the wedding, she took over communications with our venue and other vendors to offload our to-do list. She advocated for our needs and wants and helped us execute our vision like a dream come to life.

I think one of the greatest things she contributes to every couple's wedding day is staying to the end of the reception to ensure all personal items are accounted for - she actually packed our car up for us as we said our goodbyes.

I wish Yvonne a long successful career in wedding planning and coordination because she is clearly gifted to do this work.

We cannot thank Events by Mayven enough for making our wedding day go smoothly! We booked the day of coordinator package for our wedding on 1/20/2023, and we are very pleased with the services that Yvonne provided from beginning to end. During the weeks leading up to the wedding, Yvonne met with us to discuss all logistics and ensured that we worked out details in advance. She made a detailed schedule and communicated it to all of our vendors. She was organized, professional, thoughtful, and thorough.

Not only that, Yvonne and her team truly went above and beyond on wedding day and ensured that the bridal party, family, and vendors were all in the right place at the right times. On a day that many say is stressful, Events by Mayven brought an immense calm and organization that was truly priceless. Our wedding day was stress-free. Simply put -- book Events by Mayven for your wedding planning needs and you will be very glad you did!

I can't even put the words together to say how amazing Yvonne and her assistant were in making our day smooth and special. Her dedication from the time of consultation leading up to the big day was amazing! Not only did she make sure the order of events went smoothly but she was also that emotional support when things were wacky. Hands down the best day of coordinator and if I do it again I know who to contact! (Insider lol) I highly recommend any bride that want to take the lead in their wedding and also want that additional help for the day of or it's entirety to contact Yvonne! Absolutely amazing and I am extremely thankful for your support in everything!!
