Fantastic wedding coordinators!

Charlene was very helpful throughout our planning process and had regular meetings with us to help keep us on track. The day of our wedding, our coordinator Tia was fantastic and so on top of everything! We didn’t have to worry about the timeline at all, everything ran smoothly and we could just enjoy our wedding. She was also able to make some adjustments to the timeline on the fly without any issue at all. We would definitely recommend Your Day Your Way!

Lovely support for our wedding day !

Absolutely delighted with the services provided by Charlene! From the initial planning stages right through to the big day itself, everything went off without a hitch, thanks to her meticulous attention to detail and sweet demeanor.

Charlene was an absolute dream to work with. She took the time to really understand our vision for the day and went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect was executed flawlessly. Her organizational skills were truly impressive, and it was clear that she had everything under control from start to finish. We can't recommend her enough!

Helpful and stress reducing!

We needed someone who could set up our decorations and chairs for our Thursday wedding. Charlene quickly responded to my email and we set up a time to talk over the phone about the details of the wedding. After discussing what needed to be done and how everything should be organized (either through phone or email). She suggested a few changes and I'm glad she did because once the wedding day came everything looked perfect! Charlene and another member from her team arrived early to the venue, ready to start setting up. After Charlene was given the instructions on where the decorations were. The two of them efficiently started working and finished everything in a timely manner. She was wonderful to work with and she has a great team that can assist you with anything you may need help with on your wedding day! If I recommend anyone, I HIGHLY recommend Charlene and her team!

Stress Reducing!

I used Your Day Your Way as a day-of coordinator. Charlene was quick to respond, thought of everything I needed to have ready ahead of time, and made any necessary changes. Tia was so sweet to work with day-of. She helped to keep the bridal party calm and things moving. Despite some hiccups she made sure things continued to happen and everyone had a great time!

Very professional!

Charlene & Tia did a wonderful job with our wedding. Our previous wedding planner left us in a lurch with 2 months to go to our wedding, and Charlene helped us big time by giving us a check list to go through and then managing the month of coordination for us. It was a huge help and relief! Highly recommended!

Above and Beyond

We hired Charlene as a day-of planner. Throughout the 1+ year we worked with Charlene and her team, we consistently found that she went above and beyond our expectations. She provided so much useful advice to us every time we frantically sent her an email about one of our concerns (and we had a lot of concerns!). She helped us think about so many aspects of the wedding that we never would have thought of. She helped us nail down the timeline down to the minute which helped us feel at ease on the day. On the day of, we had both Tia and Shantel on site. Everything went about as smooth as I could have hoped for and they really ran the show and made everything very easy for us. We would absolutely recommend Your Day Your Way!

Efficient, professional expert and lovely human being and team

Charlene Gallagher is not only a lovely human being, she is also capable, efficient, and thorough. This is exactly what I was looking for in my wedding planner. She took my idea of my dream wedding and made it a reality within 6 months at my dream venue- the BMA. Her style is simple and to the point-- no gimicks, no BS. From our first meeting she got into the nuts and bolts of my wedding day. I ended-up hiring her not only to plan my wedding day, but to plan all the events of my wedding weekend. Charlene's experience in the wedding planning business, as well as her relationships with vendors in Baltimore, made the entire planning process easy. My husband and I are full-time working surgeons with no availability or flexibility in our OR and call schedules. Charlene knew this up-front and worked around our schedules, coordinated meetings with vendors on our behalf, and kept our wedding planning on track. Her detailed timeline for the weekend was pristine, and everything proceeded with the accuracy of a Swiss train. I am forever grateful to Charlene and her team (yes, I see you Shantel!) for helping me coordinate the wedding of my dreams to my husband, in front of our friends and family. Thanks will never be enough.

I HIGHLY recommend Charlene and her team

Charlene came to my rescue when my previous coordinator dipped on me and took my money about a month prior to our date. I had asked for referrals from a vendor, and he suggested Charlene, and she quickly requested a consultation. As soon as we hired her, she jumped into action asking for all my contracts and information I had since I already did most of the things. Charlene was prompt with responding to my emails and asked all the right questions. Charlene did more for me within that month than my other coordinator ever did in the last 2 years. Charlene was kind and direct, and gave many suggestions to elevate my ideas which was very helpful!

Day of our wedding, I couldn’t have asked for a better turnout. I had an idea of everything I wanted, but gave her and assistants freedom to change anything they saw fit. Charlene, and her assistants Megan and Rene brought all my ideas to life better than I imagined! I was very happy with their service and their friendly/positive vibes. They were very quick with timings and helped me with everything, that I didn’t have to worry about a thing! I wish I had hired Charlene from the beginning, but things happen for a reason! I would HIGHLY recommend Charlene and her team to anyone looking for her services!!

Thank you so much for everything, you were a life saver!!
