Michelle was my day of coordinator and I could not imagine my day without her!!!! She was amazing even before the wedding. If I ever had a question she would answer me back right away and even dealt with problems I had before the wedding. I was so stressed before she got their on the day of my wedding and once she got there I was able to relax and enjoy. She made my day!!!!

Michelle was very professional and thorough with all of our events planning, she even set up appointments with other vendors to make things easier. On the day of she executed everything beautifully and in a timely manner. I highly recommend her for all your event needs.

We hired Michelle to be our day-of coordinator and to summarize, we were not impressed. Frankly I was disappointed. Michelle moved across the country halfway through our planning and never once initiated contact with me after that. All of the contact between Michelle and I was done because I took the initiative. From the date we hired her to the date she moved, we emailed each other 12 times in 6 months. From the date she moved in June to our wedding date in October (4 months) we only emailed 4 times. All 4 of those emails were from me, to her, and all of her responses were one-word or short phrase answers. Shouldn't we be communicating MORE the closer we get to the wedding? When the final payment date came I didn't receive a reminder or bill from her - I had to ask her to send us a final bill. I asked for a receipt multiple times and still have not received it. I wasn't asking for something outrageous, just a receipt!

With Michelle living out of state, she never communicated to us when and how she was going to come into town for our wedding. Finally, 2-3 days before the wedding I called her (again, I initiated contact) and she was driving across country. I told her how disappointed I was in her lack of communication and she did apologize but didnt offer any solutions or to refund some of our money. I asked her if she would be at my rehearsal, and she said yes, but didnt show (even though it was written in our contract that she would be there). She sent her assistant instead.

On the day-of she helped when I asked for it and was a decent day-of coordinator. But the entire negative process leading up to that tainted my whole view of her and her services. I guess you get what you pay for.
