I recently hired Desiree, owner of Perfectly Yours, as my day-of wedding coordinator for my February 2023 wedding in Washington D.C., and I couldn’t be happier with how it came together! Desiree did an excellent job ensuring that everything ran smoothly on our big day. She was referred to us by one of my best friends, and I’m so glad we chose her to help coordinate our special day! She had great attention to detail, and we were impressed with her professionalism. Additionally, Desiree was very personable and made us feel very comfortable throughout the wedding day. We highly recommend Desiree to anyone looking for a great value and highly talented day-of wedding coordinator!

Desiree did such an amazing job! I was on the fence about needing a wedding coordinator. But I am SO SO happy that we did it. I felt like I could totally relax on the wedding day and just let Desiree and her team handle things. I appreciated her advice and guidance along the way when working with other vendors, setting the timeline for the day, etc. She was especially helpful with my family members who have some accessibility issues. She made she sure they were accommodated and never missed any important moments. I cannot recommend her enough!

Desiree made my wedding day run smoothly and stress free, and I recommend her to all of my engaged friends and colleagues! She is incredibly organized and has great interpersonal skills. I greatly appreciated her approach, which was to problem solve in the background, and only raise something to us if it would change our vision or go over a specific price point. She ran things expertly, and she and her assistant also did an amazing job putting out flowers and decor and packed everything up for me at the end of the night! Having been a bridesmaid in many weddings, I have seen first hand how some day of coordinators put the stress of problem solving on the bride, which is awful. Not Desiree and Marie! If anything went wrong I was blissfully unaware. She really went above and beyond to make things perfect. We had a fantastic day. Hire her!

Desiree and her team were amazing helpers for our wedding! We booked their day-of services and couldn't have asked for a better team. They were extremely helpful and kept everything in check so we could enjoy our night without worrying about anything. We met a couple of times via phone and at our rehearsal dinner to go over the detailed timeline before hand, and as a result our day went very smoothly. From coordinating the DJ, decor, and caterer, they truly did it all. We definitely recommend their services!

Plain and simple: she is the BEST! Desiree truly assisted us throughout the course of the planning phase and the day of our wedding in such a meticulous fashion that incomparable is the only word to use for her and her husband. They made our day unique and unforgettable - we appreciate the time you all bestowed on our special day. Happy campers (couple) here! For your upcoming wedding, you will not regret choosing Perfectly Yours!

I truly don't want to know how my wedding day would have gone if Desiree and her assistant Marie weren't there to work their magic. Desiree is the organized, 3-steps-ahead, beautifully Type A person I aspire to be, and she's exactly who you want handling things on the big day. Not only did she leave no stone unturned when it came to pre-wedding orders of business (collecting and reviewing all of our vendor agreements, liaising with our venue and scheduling a walk-through, discussing the timeline, executing a thorough rehearsal, etc), she was integral in making sure all details were covered through set-up and breakdown. I know no wedding day is perfect, and yet whatever might have gone wrong was clearly well-handled because I'm still not aware of any issues that arose. Desiree is phenomenal and makes it all look easy, and that just speaks to both the experience she has in this industry as well as her natural ability to project manage and maintain order. You absolutely need a day-of coordinator (don't let anyone tell you you don't!), and hiring Desiree is a no-brainer.

Perfectly Yours (Desiree & Marie) were amazing to work with! I hired them as the day-of coordinator for our wedding, but they even made sure we were all organized the last few months leading up. If you want to reduce your stress/worries day-of to zero, and just be able to focus on spending time with your friends and family, I'd recommend working with Perfectly Yours. They kept us ahead of schedule during the event which allowed us to have even more time on the dance floor. My only regret was using only their day-of services and not their other planning services. They are amazing!!

My husband and I interviewed seven day-of wedding coordinators and Desiree was miles above the other six. The two main points that she said that sealed the deal for us was one, the offer to be available at any time for a phone conversation, even if someone just needed to vent about family members, and two, when she told us that she reviews all contracts thoroughly and will double check to make sure that the vendors follow them to a T, even citing instances in which she was able to get couples refunds when contracts weren’t met.

The day of, Desiree handled everything masterfully, ensuring that all vendors were in sync and that all members of the bridal party were ready, comfortable, and most importantly, fed! (with all the running around you do sometimes forget to eat). She also made sure that all the items we wanted set out, such as pictures, wedding favors, guest sign in sheet, signature drink card, and cake toppers were all taken care of and beautifully arranged.

After the wedding, we touched base with her a few more times to wrap some things up and she was always available and incredibly kind. Don’t even second guess it; go with Desiree. She’s a no-nonsense, competent champion in your corner on the big day and you couldn’t ask for a better one. We can’t recommend her enough!

Perfectly Yours was a great choice for coordinators for our wedding day. We hired them very late into the planning process and they came up to speed on everything quickly. They got to know what we wanted (and what we didn't want), and they took care of almost all vendor communications for the month leading up to the wedding. They managed all the setup the day of, directed and managed all the other vendors, managed moving floral arrangements (outdoor ceremony to indoor decor use), and helped with the cleanup and closing at the end of the night. They were very professional, friendly, and organized. I would recommend them to anyone who doesn't want to be worrying about big and very small details the day of their wedding. They were also amazing at keeping things calm and organized when we were running into unexpected delays and Marie was exactly the person we needed to manage unexpected problems and stress so we could enjoy our wedding day.

THE PERFECTLY YOURS TEAM WAS STELLAR!! We originally were not planning on having a coordinator, but since our venue required it, we reached out and Desiree and Marie made all the difference! Trust the experts - you need a coordinator to tie all the many, many pieces together, because YOU don't want to be that go between on the big day. (For example, hard to tell the florist who to talk to at the church for where the alter flowers should go when you yourself are getting hair and makeup done... Or to help grandma to her seat when you're out doing sunset photos... Yeah - Desiree and Marie do that!) Overall, they're true experts and professionals. They went above and beyond the simple day-of coordinating and were in touch with us the whole way.

Just a few examples: I was lost/frustrated in searching for an alterations place. Having moved in the middle of wedding planning, I bought my dress in another city and had to find alterations here in the NoVA area. Everywhere I found on my own quoted me MORE than the entire cost of the dress!! Desiree recommended a place that was perfect (nice professional seamstress, excellent work, and right on price point).

Also, I thought I had prepared for everything with my "to-go Bride bag." I was even helping out guests at the reception! (Oh you need floss after dinner - got that! Snag on a dress - I've got scissors...). I was completely unprepared, however, for when my new step-daughter in all her excitement, went sprinting across a lawn in heals and sprained her ankle BAD. Marie was there to help scoop her up and even handed over an ace bandage she had. My daughter spent the rest of the night on the dance floor just fine. Could have ruined her/our night, but Marie was prepared for ANYTHING.

THANK YOU LADIES FOR MAKING OUR DAY SO SPECIAL!
