More than a Day of Cooridnator!

After one phone call with Vanessa we knew she was the right choice for our day of wedding coordinator. When we first hired her, we though all we needed was just her help the day of the wedding but as we got closer to the big day, we ended up using more of her services for the final touches that made our wedding special. Vanessa has a extensive inventory of items she has used in previous weddings which we took full advantage of as we didn't want to buy décor full price ourselves and be stuck with them in the end of destination wedding. Vanessa has beautiful gold plate chargers, and votives that helped complete our tables. Vanessa also made and printed our escort cards and made our seating chart board. She also created a beautiful mirror "welcome" sign that was displayed prominently where we had our ceremony. Vanessa's attention to detail, organization skills and cool demeanor really helped my husband and I focus on our day rather than worrying about what the venue and ceremony rooms were going to look like. Vanessa knew what questions to ask and foresight to correct issues before they came up. She made the day as seamless as possible. If you are looking for someone to plan your wedding from scratch or to help you out with the final details, we cannot think of anyone better than Vanessa. She is everything we were hoping for in our wedding coordinator. Thank you Vanessa!

Highly Recommend

Vanessa is a must for your wedding. I hired her as a day of coordinator a few months before my wedding. I did not think I needed one then panicked thinking I wouldn't be able to find anyone so last minute. She was an absolute must for my wedding. She helped us plan for details that slipped through the cracks, she always readily available, she completed all of her responsibilities, and helped when things inevitably went wrong on the day of. The worst being that my hair stylist did not show up. She thought on her feet and ran last minute errands while still completing everything she said she would. Overall, Vanessa is professional, grounding, and she gets shit done - all of the qualities you want in a wedding coordinator!

Day Of Coordinator

Vanessa was an amazing Day-Of-Coordinator. She went above and beyond, arriving early and staying late to make sure everything was organized and running smoothly. I would highly recommend Vanessa to any couples planning a DIY wedding!
