Amazing wedding coordinator!

My-Dung was amazing to work with. She was professional, organized, responsive and took care of ALL the details. Every element was well taken care of, even the unexpected ones, with a smile and positive attitude.
She allowed me to thoroughly enjoy my daughter’s wedding. I HIGHLY recommend her services!

My wife and I recently got married and looking back, we couldn't imagine having to go through the whole crazy wedding process without My-Dung. She was always there for guidance and advice many months beforehand. The best wedding planning advice we were given was that every wedding will have some hiccups, but if you have a coordinator, you won't know about any problems until after the fact and can just enjoy your special day. And this was definitely the case.

Although my wife and I tried to be very organized when planning our wedding (think countless Google Doc), using various resources on the internet, there were still dozens of overlooked details that My-Dung helped fill in.

My-Dung was absolutely indispensable in terms of conducting the wedding preparation, coordinating with our vendors, and putting together a timeline. She went above and beyond what we were expecting. Don't go through the whole wedding process alone! Even our skeptical families agreed we made a great choice in having My-Dung and gave her high praises at the end of it all. Thanks for everything, My-Dung!

I think our wedding wouldn't have been possible without the help of My-Dung. She was my day-of-coordinator, but her involvement started months before the big day. We were planing our wedding from the East coast, so finding a great, and reliable coordinator was our number 1 priority. We talked for the first time over Skype, and I instantly knew that she was someone I can trust, and would be the perfect choice. She was very straightforward, explained to me how she would be involved in my day from the start of planning to the end of the day.
Our main communication mean was emails, and she always responded very promptly. She also sent me little reminders to keep me on track. She is very organized, and detailed oriented, she made a minute-to-minute agenda of the wedding day.
She is also interested in getting to know my husband and I, and our relationship. She helped us choose our venue, photographer, decorations, DJ and cake vendor. And she tailored her recommendations to our needs and budgets.
I love my wedding day, I didn't have to worry about a single thing because I know My-Dung is there.
I highly recommend My-Dung as your big day's planner/coordinator

My-Dung was amazing in every way for mine and my husband's wedding! We were planning our California wedding from Cleveland, OH, so needless to say it was already somewhat stressful...Other reviews have touched upon how great she was at organizing and contacting vendors, keeping everything on track and running smoothly on the day of the wedding, and her professionalism - all things she did amazing for us as well. What I would just want to add to all of that is just how much she goes above and beyond what we even expected a day-of wedding coordinator would do just because of her passion for her job and making her clients happy.

For example, as our wedding day approached (this was less than a week before the wedding), I began getting sad that the wedding day was losing some of the things I wanted most. The biggest sadness came from not being able to get any kind of food truck that I wanted to come to our venue for tacos (yes we like to eat a lot....). When I told My-Dung about this, she was able to work her magic and was able to coordinate a vendor at our wedding venue to have tacos!! None of this was planned by us - My-Dung went out of her way to setup, contact, and organize the entire taco setup without us just because of my sadness over the whole situation. This just illustrates how much My-Dung will do for you as clients; you would be smart to book her for your own wedding - she is the best!

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about MyDung and her dedication to her work. My husband and I got married late January this year and when we think back to the best day of our lives- we really have to thank our Day of Coordinator. From the beginning, she helped us get organized, offered her wedding expertise, and responded all our questions- no matter how random or how complicated. As we got closer to the day, I was able to relax knowing that she was going to be able to work with all the vendors and to carry out the vision we had for our wedding.

She handled our 14 hour wedding with professionalism and care, she truly loves what she does and I don’t know anyone who could do it better. From our traditional Vietnamese tea ceremony at home (which she facilitated), to our outdoor ceremony/cocktail hour at Cypress Hotel, and finally to our banquet reception for 280 people, she took care of all the details. As promised she was the first one there and the last one to leave.

My husband and I truly appreciated her presence and assistance with of our wedding. The day following our wedding, my husband said that she was the best decision and that he was so glad that we were able to book her. She was a pleasure to work with and I would recommend her to any bride. You will not regret booking with MyDung!! :)

Simply stated, My-Dung is the best wedding coordinator you can find in the bay area and possibly the west coast. Period.

Most day-of-coordinators only get involved on the day of, which is quite pointless. A wedding plan changes constantly (new vendors, unexpected guests, problems with venues, etc) with issues popping up unexpectedly. So despite the title, Day-Of-Coordinator, My-Dung is with you from the moment you book her. She quickly responds to email, prefers to meet in person, and brings with her over 120 wedding coordinating experiences when you're bouncing ideas, wishes, and expectations with her. She doesn't sit idle on the sidelines if you're drowning in small wedding projects--she gets involved and helps. And despite knowing her schedule was fully booked with a different wedding every weekend, she made us feel like ours was the only one that mattered.

My-Dung is also very detailed. As part of her never-ending list of services she provides, My-Dung breaks down your wedding day (hour by hour) in a neat Excel document. She even creates a "cliff-notes" version of the spreadsheet for your photographer, videographer, and various vendors so they understand when they need to set up and where. My photographers couldn't stop raving about how helpful it was.

I could list a hundred things My-Dung did for us that neither of us had even thought about for our wedding, but it wouldn't compare to the #1 fact that on our special day, everything went smoothly because she managed the event and rigorously kept to the established timeline.

I'll part with a quote from an email she sent our bridesmaids and groomsmen: "...From this point on, if there are any questions or concerns, please reach out to me only and leave the Bride and Groom to enjoy their wedding."

We reached out to My-Dung about six months before our wedding. Even though ours was a relatively small wedding with around 100 guests, it was going to be mixing two cultures (American/Vietnamese) so we knew it would be a little more challenging than your average wedding. We were primarily looking for somebody who could be a day-of coordinator and speak both English and Vietnamese, and My-Dung was one of the few people we found that fit the bill. Even though we didn't realize it at the time, it was also really important we find somebody who understood Vietnamese culture and wedding practices, and i think we were just lucky that My-Dung happened to have those skills as well. Based on all the positive reviews we were ready to hire her after an initial Skype chat, but she invited us to a face-to-face meeting first just to make sure she was really the right coordinator for us. We decided she was and promptly hired her. Over the intervening six months we kept in contact with My-Dung. We would ask her basic wedding questions, get vendor recommendations, and even have her review vendor contracts sometimes. She was always available via email or phone to answer our queries, usually getting back to us within a day or two (even though i'm sure she was busy with many other things). As our wedding date got closer and the stress started to ramp up, My-Dung put together a detailed wedding schedule/timeline for us that mapped out exactly what would be happening throughout the day. Once the day finally arrived, everything was planned so well, and My-Dung was coordinating things so well, that we were able to just relax and enjoy the day. On the day of, we didn't have to worry about things like setup, teardown, etc. - My-Dung had it all covered. She also helped lead the Vietnamese tea ceremony for us which ended up being a very memorable part of the day. The day went great, and we were very happy with the result. We would definitely recommend My-Dung to others.

My-Dung was the day-of-coordinator for our wedding last year. Professionally, you couldn't ask for anything more in a DOC. Throughout the ENTIRE planning process, My-Dung was incredibly organized and detail-oriented, never missing a beat with anything my husband and I communicated with her and seemingly always available and responsive no matter the time of day. Note that I emphasized ENTIRE there because although My-Dung was our DOC on paper, in reality, she pulled way more than the standard DOC duties. Whereas other coordinators I reached out to emphasized DAY-OF responsibilities (in other words, pretty much hands-off until a few weeks leading up to the big day), My-Dung was with us almost every step of the way, genuinely wanting to understand what our vision was and nudging us along on our progress bar in the months leading up to the wedding to make that vision happen. My husband and I weren't even sure if we wanted a coordinator in the beginning, but as we interacted more and more with My-Dung, there was no doubt that we made the right choice. She just gave us good vibes that we were in good hands with her guiding us through the process and being the all-seeing eye on the big day.

On the big day, everything went flawlessly. My-Dung had total control of everything (including snapped dress buttons, fake eyelashes coming off, missing table linens); my husband and I literally had nothing to worry about except having fun. I could go on and on to prove that My-Dung knows what she's doing, but perhaps more important is the person behind the job. My-Dung is just a genuinely nice, fun, and easy to get along with person. My husband and I are both pretty low-key people, so the whole idea of planning this big, extravagant event centered around us wasn't exactly a comfortable thought. But with My-Dung in our corner, always positive and cheerful and eager to help, it couldn't have been a more stress-free and easy process. Seriously, go hire this lady before it's too late!

My wedding was about two months ago. My-Dung did an awesome job!! My wife and I were extremely stressed out a few days leading to the wedding, but on that day, we were completely stress free. From past experiences, weddings are never on time. I was surprised that everything flowed according to her schedule. Everything was well planned. My-Dung thought of everything. Her check list for us covered everything we thought about and many more things that we didn't. From vendors, guests, family.....My-Dung handled it all, with all smiles too. Thank you so much for making our day fun and stress free!

A good DOC like My-Dung is not just "day-of" like it sounds. She met with us several times leading up to the event to keep us on track with tasks and decisions we had to make so that she knew exactly how to execute the event on the day of. I consider myself organized, but wedding planning is more than just about organization - it's about knowing what to anticipate and being able to handle anything that can be thrown at you. It was reassuring meeting with My-Dung each time when she would ask us minute thorough questions that it was clear no detail would be missed!

On the day of, My-Dung was simply amazing. She worked our event for 16+ hours, running between where I was getting ready, to going to the church early to set up and meet the priest, then heading to the banquet venue once I started walking down the aisle, to meeting all the vendors as they arrived, as well as telling all my cousins and helpers what to do for setting up the sign-in/gift table, and ending with packing up all our boxes of stuff/leftover alcohol and loading them into our car at the end of the night. Throughout the event, I honestly had no concept of time, and was honestly just grateful to My-Dung for executing the timeline and telling me where I had to be and when. It's so incredible how much energy and heart she put into our event.

As a bride in the beginning stages of planning, you might think you have enough cousins and family to help you do stuff, but the day of, you really have no capacity to manage any of that. You will naturally have a lot of "minor stuff" that needs to be set up (think pictures, favors, decorations, kids goody bags, sign-in table), but add it all together, and it becomes a lot! My-Dung knew when every little thing needed to be ready, and made it her priority no matter how petty it might have seemed.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
