Great Day-of Wedding Coordinator

I was on the fence about hiring a day-of wedding coordinator but I am so glad we did. Hiring Parties by Terrye was one of the best decisions we made. Terrye was flexible and accommodating throughout the whole process. She made the day of our wedding enjoyable and easy for us. I would definitely recommend Parties by Terrye!

Terrye really helped make that day flawless. She kept me from worrying about any of the details, and I left my complete trust in her. She didn't disappoint, and helped orchestrate all of the moving parts, vendors, timing, music, etc. I couldn't recommend a better day-of coordinator.

I had the best wedding ever, thanks to Terrye and Andrew! The whole day felt organized and seemless. I was able to really enjoy myself and not worry about the details.

When I began planning my son's Bar Mitzvah I had an idea about how I wanted it to look and feel, but no idea how to make my vision a reality. At my first meeting with Andrew, with Parties by Terrye, I told him a couple ideas I had, and he immediately knew where to take my vision and made it even better! I wanted to represent my son's personality in a classy way that wasn't too over the top with a specific overly done theme. He said it perfectly - a classy party with a "sprinkle" of your son. And that's just what we did! He suggested beautiful centerpieces and helped create the perfect logo for the night. He took my ideas for place cards and made them happen. He was always honest if I had an idea that he thought wouldn't work aesthetically, and offered ways to make something else work, and always with my budget in mind. He also took care of lighting and coordinating a green screen for the party and worked with my MC, my photographer, and the coordinator at my venue to create the most perfect and memorable party for our family. I've already booked him for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah in 2019!

Andrew and Co. did an amazing job in making our son's Bar Mitzvah a success! We loved Everything!!! The centerpieces were such a highlight, the lighting, all the little personal touches and of course the hoodies!
What they do to help families during this monumental time in their lives is wonderful!! I would have lost my mind even more, if I had to do all that they did! We highly recommend Parties by Terrye!
Thank you again!

Parties by Terrye were wonderful! They were very accommodating, helpful and had great ideas. You were able to do as little and as much as you needed. We certainly will be using them again for our daughters event.

We booked Terrye of Parties by Terrye for our wedding this past December and she was fantastic! Terrye was a tremendous help for our rehearsal Friday night, and then all day and night on Saturday for our wedding. I could not imagine the wedding weekend without her! She is professional, organized, and has amazing attention to detail. She made sure that our wedding vision was met!

Andrew at Parties by Terrye was great to work with. He had many creative ideas to work within our budget. In the end he magically transformed the beautiful Crystal Room at Ruth’s Chris Steak House in Pikesville into a young “man’s sports dream. From the ceiling athletic balls floated over the guests and on the tables creatively designed centerpieces celebrated the “man” of the evening. The room screamed celebration and everyone from the smallest of children to the proud grandparents enjoyed the party.
