Awesome Service!

Let me say my wedding was absolutely beautiful. I had the most amazing people working on my behalf. Tom was definitely one of them. I actually think he deserved a whole lot more than what I paid him. He worked mostly by himself except the 1st day he had a young helper but he was so so helpful. If I ever had the opportunity to work with another bride, The Big Day rentals would be my 1st choice for vendors. Thanks again Tom!

Kaley is the absolute wedding coordinator! Must have for your big day! 10000% recommend!

I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT KALEY!!!! Kaley went above and beyond in all aspects in being our “day of coordinator” but was available since the day we hired her for all questions, concerns, recommendations, advice, etc. She happens to live in the same city as me and even offered to transport some of our wedding things to/from home/the wedding in FL. Her energy is so positive and she has the most calm, cool, collected demeanor, even when some of the bridal party was panicking 😂😅 which kept me calm, cool, & collected-therefore able to stay in the moment and enjoy every single bit of our day! She paid attention to detail while not getting high strung (which could rub off on other people, as I’ve seen with other wedding planners in the past). She was available for a rehearsal and made it run so smoothly, definitely took charge and very skilled at directing but not in an uptight way, communication was always excellent, so responsive. She was so flexible when I realized we didn’t have anywhere to rehearse and we ended up rehearsing on the beach (wedding was at The Watervue at Brooks st). I became a little overwhelmed thinking about picking out decorations and just let her “surprise me” with the tables and decor with me just giving a general hint of an idea of what I was thinking (I didn’t give her much to go on lol) ..and she NAILED it!!! I couldn’t have made it look more beautiful if I had stewed over every detail and tried myself. HIRE HER! TRUST HER!! You will not regret it!! I had my DREAM WEDDING BECAUSE OF KALEY!!! From decor, vibe/positivity, directiveness, smoothness, communication, flexibility, & going above & beyond-she is the ABSOLUTE BEST!!!! I am SO THANKFUL FOR HAVING HER FOR OUR BIG DAY!!!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Amazing experience!

We used The Big Day for both event rentals and day-of coordination and couldn't be happier with the results! Kaley was the MVP of our wedding day and kept everything running smoothly, even making sure my husband and I got a plate of appetizers and bottles of water in between socializing at the cocktail hour. She checked on us throughout the night, making sure we could fully enjoy ourselves. And how Kaley and her team set up our tent during a flash flood warning, I'll never know! Despite unforeseen bad weather in the morning, she totally brought my vision for our reception to life. I can't say enough good things about The Big Day!

Beautiful And Easy To Work With!

Our rentals from The Big Day were GORGEOUS and an excellent bang for your buck. They were easy to work with, responsive, and all around nice people. We also used Lisa's coordination services, which I HIGHLY recommend. She made sure everything ran smoothly and was a pleasure to work with.

Perfect experience!

I went into The Big Day Rentals with very little idea of what I was looking for. It seemed like a daunting task to pick out a million items and hope that they’d go well together. Everyone we worked with made the process seamless and every item we received was in good shape. When they noticed that the chairs we had picked out wouldn’t look very good with our linens, they reached out and offered to upgrade them for free. Drop off and pick up went without a hitch and I’m very happy with how the entire experience went!

Ceremony Chair Rentals

Our ceremony was small so we didn’t require much, but we needed a reliable company to deliver and pick up chairs for our ceremony so we trusted Big Day Rentals, and it was a great decision! We had a last minute change of venue the night before our chairs were to be delivered. I was so worried they wouldn’t get my message about the last minute change, but sure enough, at 9 am the next morning they were there and ready to drop them off. On Monday, when it came time to pick them up, they came and got them before any of us had even noticed. It was so nice that we had one less thing to worry about! I would recommend their services to anyone!

Amazing quality, staff, and experience with Kaley and Big Day Rentals

We hired The Big Day Rental for our wedding and had Kaley as our Wedding Planner. The service, experience, and staff were all exceptional! Kaley kept in contact with all of my vendors and created a rehearsal and day of schedule. She went above and beyond to help make sure everything went according to plan and even went out of her way to pick up last minute items for me the day of. She made sure everything and everyone was on time and set up exactly as planned. She also put our rain plan into action and converted everything inside in a matter of minutes due to last minute rain right before our ceremony! Our wedding would not have been executed as flawlessly as it was without Kaley, she made sure that everything was taken care of and set up just as I dreamed of even with a last-minute rain plan change. We couldn't have asked for anyone better than Kaley. She truly loves what she does and goes above and beyond to make sure her clients have the perfect day!

We utilized The Big Day Rental for our daughter's wedding and Kaley Walls as our Rehearsal and Same Day Coordinator. The experience with both was exceptional. Merri Ward, the owner, came out to our event site and spent time understanding our vision and working on a layout for a beautiful and functional ceremony and reception. She was very flexible and worked with us on several iterations over many months of planning. And our vision came to life for a wonderful wedding celebration! We hired Kaley Walls as our Coordinator and she was amazing. She contacted vendors in advance, arranged the schedule for the day and basically took control for both the Rehearsal and the Wedding/Reception. She arrived early and was in full-blown cruise director mode immediately. She made sure everything and everyone was on time and set up exactly as planned. She handled even the smallest details so that we could really relax and enjoy our day. She stayed late into the evening to make sure that everything was cleaned up and left as it was before the event. She was exceptionally competent and a real pleasure to deal with throughout the planning process and the day. We couldn't have been more pleased with Kaley's services.

The customer service was amazing. We were planning our wedding from California, for a ceremony and reception in Mexico Beach. This company was set up at the location for another person's wedding when we decided to hold our wedding there too. Big Day was recommended to us by the other couple, and Big Day was as professional for us, as we heard. Lisa at Big Day was very friendly and worked within our budget. I highly recommend this company.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
