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.

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!

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!

Charlene from Your Day Your Way gave me my start in the business and I will be forever grateful to her! Charlene's experience is out of this world! She listens to couples as they describe what they want and asks all the right questions to gather information that they might not have known they needed or even wanted. You cannot go wrong hiring Charlene!
