Demi K. Sent on 03/24/2024The BEST Wedding Coordinator Out There
STOP YOUR SEARCH FOR A WEDDING COORDINATOR! You will NOT find anyone more trustworthy, proactive, and detail-oriented. I truly feel like we hit the jackpot with Carla.
The minute Carla showed up on my wedding day, all of my stress melted away. She is organized and timely, but also manages to be relaxed and fun. I was obsessive and meticulous when it came to all of my wedding details, but Carla built our timeline and executed every event and detail PERFECTLY! We were running early all day long and I was able to be relaxed while enjoying every moment with my husband and guests. This was only possible because Carla took care of allllllllll the little hiccups that popped up (and there will inevitably be unforeseen hiccups on your wedding day, no matter how well you plan).
My parents and bridal party have ALL mentioned how impressed they were by her on the big day. Even our other vendors mentioned how seamless the whole day was thanks to Carla. It also helps that she is well known and respected by many of the vendors we used. To paraphrase our limo driver: "As soon as I pulled up and saw Carla, I knew it was going to be a good wedding".
In the months leading up to the wedding, Carla asked all of the questions I didn't know needed to be answered. She constantly responded to all of my chaotic texts and emails SO quickly and was always so helpful. I genuinely do not know what I would have done without Carla on my wedding day. Probably would have stressed, cried, been overwhelmed, etc. She was just so on top of everything. I can't properly explain it- it was like having another coordinating version of myself to execute everything perfectly while the bride version of me was able to be present in each and every moment without a worry in the world.
I am so grateful for details made simple, and I am so thrilled with my decision to work with them. XOXO -

April was my day of coordinator and I couldn't be more satisfied with everything she had to offer. She took a lot of weight off my shoulders and I was able to completely relax the day of my wedding. Anything I needed or had questions about she was there. She also helped with things I didn't even think of to ask help with. Thank you April!! -

Maggie was absolutely amazing!! She went so above and beyond leading up to the wedding - she truly kept me sane throughout the whole process! She understood my vision right away and she came to every vendor meeting so we knew we could relax on our wedding day because she had everything handled. Our timeline for the day of was so detailed and organized - it was a dream for a type A bride like myself. Maggie made sure everyone was where they should be the day of the wedding, made sure everything was getting set up correctly, and made sure I had everything I needed from start to finish. We could not be more grateful for Maggie - she truly helped to make our wedding day perfect! We cannot recommend Details Made Simple enough! -

I’m not even sure where to start with my review. I was in a very desperate situation that turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I was married on 10/7/2023 and Details Made Simple (Carla) made sure it was the most beautiful, and least anxiety provoking day. I had previously booked a Day Of Coordinator in March 2023. This DOC promised me the world and more for my October 2023 wedding. We’ll fast forward to August 2023 meeting with my venue, I was alone and freaking out. My DOC (not Carla) bailed on me for the venue meet, and made me feel like I was panicking for no reason with a timeline that will be formulated week before wedding. (Again not Carla)
Thanks to my maid of honor coming through with an amazing recommendation, I was given Carlas’s number after feeling defeated and upset with my previous DOC not supporting me or showing up for me when necessary.
After 2 hour conversation with myself and my mom, I immediately felt at ease with Carla. My concerns were validated as “No way should a timeline be started 1 week before event”. With many tears had during our initial conversation, that night I slept the best I had in all my wedding planning with Carla coming to my rescue and the rest is history.
Details Made Simple is just that, Details Made Simple. From hiring (DMS) that August evening to my wedding on October 7, 2023, I was in The best hands Possible!!!
We had a few phone calls in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and the month leading up to the wedding, myself and Carla were in contact regularly. She never hesitated to answer and email, a text or a phone call. I received updated timelines in my email on the regular, she contacted any vendors with whatever tasks were still not done, to her absolutely loving on my 3 year old niece on my wedding day, Carla was like having an extremely organized “family”member take charge and make sure myself, my husband and my bridal party had nothing to worry about on the wedding day. I can not speak highly enough about DMS services, professionalism and overall delivery of event planning. Carla, I am forever grateful to you!
P.S. Carla was not available for my rehearsal at the church, but we had her team member Shadé.
Also AMAZING. We were not an easy group and she got EVERYONE in place and running our ceremony as it was supposed to be. Thank you Shadé for being there for us! -

There are not enough words to express our gratitude to Carla and the DMS team. From our first call Carla told me exactly what I needed to hear: 'I am here to make sure you get to enjoy your day.' As someone who has worked in the hospitality industry for a decade, it can be challenging to pull away from working your own wedding. But not with Carla! Carla had fantastic tips, tricks, tip sheets, emergency kit, sewing skills, BTS photography skills (she made us a whole video compilation of content she took!), you name it. She knows how to ease parents but stay on top of vendors, how to keep you calm but get the job done and how to keep you on track but enjoying the process as much as possible. Her dedication, hospitality and genuine care and excitement were beyond what I could have imagined for someone in this role. DMS was one of our cheapest but most necessary vendors - worth every penny AND a generous tip! -

Nothing went wrong on our wedding day- and that's all in part to Zaakira Harris of Details Made Simple. She had all of our vendors working seamlessly together to install at our historic venue, she was quietly handling things as they came up, and double and triple checking all of the finer details to make sure our vision for the day came true. I am chronically late to everything and she kept me and my bridesmaids on schedule so we arrived on time. A true miracle! From signing our contracting to the wedding day, she was so quick to respond to all of our questions, she offered great vendors suggestions, and sent follow-up reminders of things for us to do. We walked away from every phone call with action items and plans, and as we got way closer to our wedding date, she was really good about transitioning the vendor communications over to her, so that we weren't bombarded with emails or tasks in the last few weeks of our wedding planning. She created a really helpful day-of timeline (down to the minute) so we knew what to expect on our wedding day, and we were given that way in advance, which was so helpful when communicating with our wedding party about when they should arrive for photos or makeup etc. Even after our sparkler exit and our guests left, she oversaw the venue breakdown, packed up, and dropped off our bags and boxes of design elements and leftover alcohol to our hotel. Also, she has such a professional, calm, and warm demeanor- so she is exactly they type of energy you want around you on your wedding day. Would highly recommend. -

I cannot say enough great things about our coordinator, Alex. I don't know how we would have survived the day (and the days leading up - she was even the witness for our license) without her. Leading up to the wedding she was attentive, and even gave us friendship/emotional support while dealing with a difficult personal issue before our wedding. The day of, she organized our family for the ceremony, kept us fed/with drinks the whole night, and dealt with a VERY cranky toddler who was demanding french fries (she actually left for 5 minutes to quickly run to the boardwalk to get some!). Multiple family members commented on how incredible Alex was. Every situation that came up, Alex had a solution/idea for - for real, her day of kit was seemingly bottomless. I really can't say enough good things. She was fantastic, we actually kind of miss her now that the wedding is over. If all their coordinators are this amazing, I cannot recommend Details Made Simple enough! -

Words cannot describe how grateful I am that we went with Details Made Simple for our day-of coordination. I also want to acknowledge that our coordinator, Ebony Deloney, did so much more than help us day-of. She followed up with us every single month leading up to our wedding, recommended vendors, met with us on GoogleMeet, made countless drafts of timelines as plans inevitably changed, and shared all that she's learned from coordinating other weddings and events for us newbies. She did this all with a huge smile on her face and a fanny pack full of things I never thought I'd need, but did.
