Hire ydyw!

Linda was our wedding fairy godmother. We interviewed several planners and it was clear from the start that Linda was the right choice for us in terms of her warm personality, professionalism, and different pricing options she offered. You will get SO much bang for your buck but even more peace of mind throughout your planning process. The entire time we worked with her, anytime we had a concern she eased it and helped us find solutions. The weekend of our wedding she and her team were an absolute godsend. They are incredibly flexible, buttoned up, and super thorough. There wasn't a detail they missed and they worked with smiles on their faces the whole time. This might be the best money we spent and we'd do it all over again!!!

Fantastic team!

Working with Linda was super easy. We used her for our day of coordinator but I wish we got together sooner. She provided a lot of materials from her stock such as trays for desserts, votive candles & holders, and table numbers. We had 3 very large seating charts that she sent to the printer, picked up and delivered to the venue. The day of the wedding she made sure everything was in the right place (drink signs, center pieces, candles lit, and so much more) then when the night ended she broke it down into boxes for easy loading in the morning. Her team was fantastic. Wish we could have worked together longer.

The best decision for our wedding day!

Linda was a lifesaver for us and our wedding. She was so accommodating and helpful, providing all of our last minute decorations at incredibly reasonable prices. Not only providing amazingly affordable rental options for decorations, but she also helped us with day of set up and break down. We did a couple decorations ourselves including the florals and Linda worked with us to design the table center pieces and was very accommodating to combine our elements with hers. Linda helped by taking on the venue set up the morning of our wedding both with their decorations and ours. She was very flexible and easy to work with and even came to pick everything up the next morning. Linda was an absolute pleasure to work with and helped make our wedding day truly special. We highly recommend using Linda and her staff for your wedding day, you won’t be disappointed!

The BEST wedding coordinator there ever was!

I don't even know where to start! Linda was a complete godsend for me and my husband. She held me hand through it all - the months, the weeks, the hours leading up to the big day and the day itself. Linda has a magical way of making all of your anxiety and worries go away. When I was spiraling, I would meet with Linda and her positivity and good energy always make my worries disappear. My wedding day was better than anything I could have dreamed up and most, if not all of the credit is due to Linda and her team. I had a 250+ outdoor "DIY" wedding and Linda and the team went above and beyond in making sure everything was happening how it should. By the end of the whole process, Linda felt like a friend to me. I am so grateful for choosing YDYW to help me with my day. Linda truly makes it about Your Day and Your Way.

10/10 all around - so much value for day of coordination

Our wedding was incredible, and we couldn’t imagine going through the process without Linda’s guidance and all the work she did behind the scenes. It really made it so that we could enjoy/experience our wedding day and not worry about any of the details once we were there. It was really great that she started working with us right away (not just the last month or weeks right before the wedding), meaning she was a part of the process throughout - and not just right before the wedding. Everything was so much easier with her support and coordination of all the vendors. And on top of everything, she also brought an assistant with her to help run everything on the wedding day (two sets of hands are better than one!).

We felt very taken care of both in the lead up process (via the phone and email check ins), and the weekend of the wedding. Great communication, and great understanding of what kind of weekend we wanted to have.

Linda/Your Day Your Way are definitely worth it, absolutely would recommend!

Best coordinator!

Could not have asked for more in a coordinator! We got the week of service, and from the time we booked until the event, Linda was on top of everything, getting all of our vendor lists together, helping us to plan timelines and communicate. She provided great guides, whether it be her own rental lists, vendors she has worked with and recommends, or the right etiquette for tipping vendors. When it came time for the event, Linda was there for and on top of everything, maneuvering vendors and their equipment and cars to make sure everything got in the venue smoothly, while setting up the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception space, all in

Linda is Wonderful!

Linda has been amazing as a wedding planner from first day to the day of the wedding. She is very well connected in the Albany to Saratoga area and we got great recommendations for the caterer, photographer, DJ, etc...

She is available around the clock and kept me and my now wife on track for everything!

Best decision of our day!

I met Linda by going to her boutique to try on bridal gowns. I did not purchase from her and began our wedding planning process.

We had a new venue and it was difficult to plan with them. I began looking for a planner to help alleviate any future stress. Linda was responsive from our initial inquiry and one phone call later we signed a contract.

I can say with 110% certainty that our day would not have been as flawless as it was without Linda and her team. From taking our notes/visions to executing our table layouts better than we envisioned to helping us troubleshoot problems with our venue. I was able to relax and get ready with my bridal party without worrying about set up/last minute details because I knew Linda was at the reception hall.

If you are debating Linda for a planner or a day of coordinator you cannot go wrong. 100% worth every penny for the peace of mind. She’s sweet, caring, detail oriented, but tenacious to advocate for her clients. My only regret is not hiring her sooner!

Your Day Your Way Was a Lifesaver for a Busy Military Family

Many guests at our wedding asked me “where did you find this beautiful venue?” or “where did you get this awesome DJ?” And the answer? I had a Wedding Planner! Linda and her team at YDYW did it all, which for us and our busy lifestyle as a military family was invaluable. From day one, we were in excellent hands as Linda guided us to find the best vendors, and her expertise in the industry and professionalism is unmatched and made the experience of getting married so much easier. If you’re an anxious bride, please look no further! Linda was always just a phone call, text or email away and answered every question and quelled every worry I had with her sense of humor and confidence. I absolutely couldn’t have gotten through the planning process without her, it was like having a best friend with you through every step of the way. The end result was absolute magic. The wedding day was perfection and we cannot thank Linda and the YDYW staff enough!!

Absolutely Incredible Team

My wife and I truly cannot express how grateful we are to Linda and the entire YDYW crew for all of the hard work they put forth and dedication they had to making our wedding day absolutely perfect. Linda and the YDYW team are a group of unquestionably dedicated professionals who truly care about all of their clients on a personal level. Linda was always available to answer any questions we had, no matter how strange they were or what time of day they would be sent, and she would always offer creative solutions to any challenges that may have arisen.

Most importantly was the fact that, thanks to the YDYW team, we were able to truly relax and enjoy our wedding day, without any of the worries or fears that would otherwise have been in our minds on the most special day of our lives. It was truly comforting knowing that we had the Linda in our corner throughout all aspects of the wedding planning process, and we would not hesitate for a second to highly recommend them to anyone in the market for a wedding planner.

We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
