Experience

On The Side was born in 1990, almost by accident, when others noticed Ron's exceptional event coordination and interior design skills and began asking him to do their events 'on the side'. His background in hotel restaurant and banquet management provides the level of expertise that make his events so successful.

Partners Ron and Shelly have been working together since 2011 on both weddings and corporate events. Both have a great eye for decor and staging - Ron working big with statement pieces and "big picture" thinking, and Shelly bringing the vision to fruition through detail and design. They have an additional 'on call' staff of seven that have been part of the On The Side team now for 10+ years, for large events or where service is provided.

Best wedding coordinator!

We decided in June to add a day-of wedding coordinator for my son and DIL October wedding! This turned out to be the best decision we made with wedding planning! Even though we hired him for day of coordinating, he jumped right in and started communicating with vendors we had chosen, meeting with the couple to learn about their vision for their wedding and then, went above and beyond to make that vision a reality. Because of Ron and his team (Christina and Kayla), their wedding was perfect and exactly what they wanted!! His communication was great throughout the process. As an added note, our musician/DJ canceled on Tuesday before the wedding on Saturday. Ron got to work immediately and had replacements within an hour! They were amazing! So thankful to have found Ron’s information on Wedding Wire! We all agreed, best decision and investment made!
