Amazing experience!

Vanessa answered questions we didn't even know to ask, was incredibly organized leading up to and during the wedding, and was highly professional and personable. We literally worried about nothing throughout the entire process, including day-of. Her assistant complemented her organizational skills and professionalism on our big day as well. We very, very strongly recommend her!

We’re so thankful to have Vanessa coordinate our wedding

Vanessa is the greatest! She was our day of coordinator for our wedding. We obviesly had no idea about what we had to deal with when it came to wedding planning and organizing the day of. Having Vanessa made everything go smoothly and our day turned out so perfect because we had Vanessa orchestrating it. She’s quick on her feet when it comes to last minute details that needed to be dealt with. She was very thoughtful when it came to little things like bringing us a glass of wine right after the ceremony hehe and the placement of certain things at the reception. She was very kind to us and all of our family, guests and vendors. Extremely professional from the first moment we spoke, she makes sure to be available for any questions prior to your wedding and has the perfect suggestions based on her previous experiences. I love Vanessa and I’m so greatful for her services. BOOK HER NOW! You won’t regret it ♥️

The best of the best!

Out of all of the people we worked with for our wedding, I feel compelled to write Vanessa a review ASAP because she truly was incredible. Couldn't have asked for a better day of coordinator. She was not only super kind and easy to work with but incredibly organized. Like, she considered every single little detail and never failed to offer suggestions & ideas when we were indecisive about things. We never had to worry about a thing, thanks to her very obvious expertise in the wedding industry. She was also patient, attentive to everybody's needs, and reliable. If you're looking for a Day of Coordinator who's not only professional but also genuinely a joy to work with, look no further! Highly recommend. - Rachel & Dylan
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
