The best decision we ever made!!

We hired Stef to plan our Oct 28 Indian wedding this year, and all I can say is - WOW! Stef went above and beyond our highest expectations, and countless times my husband and I found ourselves asking each other: where would we be without Stef?!

Stef takes "organized" to the next degree. It's so easy to trust her - she's truly thought about every little detail that would never cross my mind, and tracks everything in a way that's accessible and transparent. Somehow she remembers the tiny things I might have mentioned offhand, and literally nothing slips through the cracks. She built trust with us very quickly, and I had such peace of mind throughout the process always knowing - "but Stef's got it covered".

I didn't know what sort of relationship to expect with my wedding planner, but she's exactly what I had hoped for! From the beginning, she's respectful, curious, and clearly passionate about enabling couples to have their dream day. She forms very personal relationships with her clients, and I could reach her via email, text, or a phone call at pretty much a moment's notice. She cares about you and making sure you're happy, and more than once went the extra mile to ensure this for us. Stef also understands family dynamics, and worked closely with my mom directly, and somehow managed to keep us all consistently in the loop.

A wedding is a daunting process, but the right people make ALL the difference. I have no doubt that our wedding would have been a totally different story without Stef to help us navigate through it (and be our voice of reason and support through it) - we are sooo lucky to have found her! I can't recommend Stef enough!!

Stef is the BEST!

Stef was actually the only planner we interviewed that we didn't have a family/friend/industry reference for and I'm so glad we took a chance on her!

Stef was so knowledgeable and seemed to have answers to every question that came up and rationale behind every recommendation. 
She assigned us tasks to complete and work through together with her each month, which helped keep us on track without overwhelming us with a bunch of vendors and tasks early on. Tasks included big items like rentals, flowers, hotel block, but also included small details like bridesmaid gifts, wedding day jewelry, and wedding license! She covered every single detail you could possibly think of! We went through our budget thoroughly with her to determine the best plan that would both accommodate our larger guest count and fulfill the vision we wanted. She had all the cost saving tips and tricks and the BEST vendor recommendations that were a perfect match for us. She reviewed contracts, handled communication and negotiation with vendors, and fully planned out the layout (Tables, chairs, dancefloor, stage, etc) for our venue. 
We also had a bunch of crazy ideas that she helped us execute, making our wedding feel very personal and unique. She allows you to be as involved as you want to be, but will also step in to help complete a task as needed along the way. She is so easy going and FUN to be around, which made every meeting fun! I also appreciated her communication as she was usually quick to respond when you have a question and did not hesitate to hop on a call with you.

She understood our vision and helped me execute it perfectly and efficiently without going over our set budget. Everytime I hung up the phone with her I felt a huge sense of relief and peace of mind. I fully trusted Stef and her team and ultimately could not recommend them more! Thank you so much for our amazing wedding day!

Don’t hesitate! Hire YWYW

Stef Yandell and Your Wedding Your Way is fantastic! In my search for a day of coordinator I spoke to so many larger companies with extremely complicated and confusing terms and conditions. Talking to Stef was a breath of fresh air - she was straight forward and immediately helpful and personable. It was a no brainer to work with her! And then the pandemic hit…. Stef immediately stepped in to help us reschedule - FOUR times. She did this without complaint or extra charges; she genuinely wanted to help.

When we finally had our wedding two years later, it went so smoothly. She incorporated everyone who wanted to be a part of the process - the bride, groom, family members. She had everything planned out & communicated, and handled all the hiccups with ease! Her team there with us was also nice and friendly. YWYW truly are in this for YOU and there to help you with whatever you need or want. Don’t hesitate! Hire YWYW - they are a true pleasure to work with and will always have your back.

We first had the opportunity to work with Stefanie from Your Wedding, Your Way back in 2007. At the time, I was planning my own wedding. As soon as I met Stefanie, I knew I (1) wanted to work with her again and (2) wanted her to be MY wedding coordinator! I'd never worked with another coordinator who was so "on top" of things, easy to work with, and fun! I hired her to be my coordinator and the rest is history. :-) The name "Your Wedding, Your Way" couldn't be more perfect... Stefanie and her team listen to your ideas and work to be sure that your wedding is all that YOU imagined it to be. She isn't pushy and she doesn't force her own opinions and ideas into your planning - and that's a rare quality to find in a planner! I honestly can't say enough good things about Your Wedding Your Way. As a wedding photographer, I've worked with tons of planners and Stefanie is THE BEST!

I love working with Stefanie and Your Wedding, Your Way. Her personality is just a big ball of sunshine, which is so important when having to work with tons of different vendors. But she's also extremely organized, professional, and pays attention to the little details-which is definitely what you want in a wedding planner!
