Anabelle N. Sent on 11/04/2021Ivette goes the extra mile!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Ivette! She truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was as perfect as possible and so that I didn’t have to stress at all on my big day. Leading up to our wedding she had tons of great suggestions for music, florists, local makeup teams, cake and dessert teams, she even found us an espresso guy for after dinner! Ivette’s trove of wedding stuff also came in really handy, and saved us a ton! We were able to utilize her lanterns, tea lights, card box, signs, and several other items from her collection. Working with Ivette was like working with family, she’s kind, she’s patient, and she’s prepared to do whatever it takes to make sure you get what you’ve always hoped for on your special day! I loved working with her and I’m sure you will, too! -

Ivette is the best! My wedding would not have been the perfect wedding day if it wasn't for Ivette and her dedication to making it was the most special day. She was always there to help with every detail and answer any question I had leading up to the big day. I could not recommend her enough!! -

Ivette is the best!
I can’t say enough about how wonderful Ivette was in assisting with our special day. We had an intimate 30 person family wedding at a popular resort in Key Largo. Ivette was available to speak to me leading up to the big day and was instrumental in helping it go off without a hitch. Most importantly, she is a warm and lovely person and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I could not recommend her more! -

On my first call with Ivette, she said something that stood out to me and it is the reason I chose her, she said she wasn't the type of planner that just looked pretty and stood around with a clipboard, she was that type of planner that got things done. She was definitely right about that!! Choosing her was the best decision we made. During the week of our wedding, we had quite a few last minute issues arise which as the bride, sent me into a panic, but Ivette handled everything with grace and faster than I could have ever imagined. On top of it all, her local knowledge of the Florida Keys is a huge asset for anyone who doesn't live in the area but is getting married there.
If you are reading this, please choose Ivette, you won't regret it! -

My husband and I cannot thank Ivette enough for ALL of her assistance preparing for and during our big day!
We got married at Dream Bay Resort in November and our friends and family will be talking about it forever!
She made our vision come to life and we had ZERO stress on our day. She made it all about us🤍 -

Ivette was so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. She pointed out things I didn't think of. She provided things for me to use during the wedding. She was very helpful and made the wedding day seem so easy and seemless. I highly recommend her to everyone! -

I can't thank Ivette enough for making our day perfect! Having met in person only once and working w/her virtually, I never had one worry about my family and closest friends traveling through a hurricane to enter perfection in the FL Keys and having anything go wrong. I had 100% trust in Ivette and she was on point from end to end. Many, many thanks Ivette!!!

Ivette was an absolute dream to work with and every bride’s dream!
From day one she put our minds at ease and assured us if there were any questions or anything we needed that we could contact her. We had multiple calls to make sure we were all on the same page and also she would direct us to lovely vendors that she has had very good experiences with.
Ivette is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. The day of our wedding we did not have to worry about a thing, her and her team did an amazing job delivering our dream day. I highly highly recommend her!!!! -

June Wedding at the Islander Resort
We can’t say enough good things about Ivette! From our first intro call to tying up the final details post-wedding, Ivette exuded unparalleled support, care, and attention to detail. Ivette went above and beyond the typical responsibilities of a month-of-coordinator at all times. Well before month-of, Ivette was willing and eager to provide recommendations and guidance for vendor selection and venue coordination. In the month leading up to our big day, Ivette was the picture of organization and experience. She worked hand-in-hand with us on our schedule, venue homework packet, and vendor coordination, and she was always willing to provide guidance and expertise (or even make the final say) when we hit points of indecision as a couple. On the day of our wedding, Ivette picked up our flowers for us, coordinated with all of our vendors, and set up all of our ceremony and reception details (including ceremony signage, a card box, table numbers, centerpieces, and place settings – all of which she designed and supplied herself at no cost to us). This was an incredible weight (and cost!) off of our shoulders, and it allowed us to cruise through our wedding weekend worry-free. Finally, following our wedding, Ivette returned our marriage papers to the clerk’s office on our behalf and was sure to check in with us and send us off with merry wishes. We are so thankful for the time we spent working with Ivette, and we would hands-down recommend her to any and all couples getting married in the Florida Keys! Working with Ivette (rather than with a large wedding planning company) was a level of intimacy that brought us such comfort and well-needed consistency throughout our wedding planning experience, and we can’t imagine it any other way.

She is an AMAZING Coordinator!
Ivette was very responsive during the planning phase over the last 9 months of planning. Once we came down to the Keys she reached out and made sure we were all on the same page of expectations, schedules, and even with rehearsal. Ivette is very friendly, willing to do anything to make your day perfect, and great resource for other vendors and accommodations for our whole stay. Our day was absolutely perfect from start to finish, because of Ivette we never had to manage anything which allowed us to enjoy our day with friends and family. Also Ivette did an amazing job at organizing the schedule as it changed throughout the day and even during rehearsal. -

Ivette was absolutely amazing. Phone calls, texts, emails and we had a wedding planned. She helped with coordinating other vendors, renting us some of her own items for the day of, and having a day of coordinator on hand. Caroline was day of hand woman and she was so fantastic. As the bride I did not have to worry at all the day of because she had everything handled. She was there bright and early to get started and stayed until clean up was complete. She set up, organized, instructed, bustled my dress!, cleaned up and so much more. These girls were wonderful and I would never have been able to do it without them. -

Brittany F. Sent on 05/10/2022So thankful !!
We live in Tampa & we had our wedding in Key Largo. I ended up not hiring a wedding planner and doing a majority of the planning myself, but I for sure wanted someone to help with the day of. Ivette helped me coordinate everything for the actual day and made sure everyone was on board with what we wanted. Her assistant, Caroline, was present for rehearsal and for the day of the wedding. Wow!! She took so much stress off of me. She took care of everything. I can be a very anxious person as I'm sure most brides are the day of their wedding, but Caroline kept in contact with me throughout the day & made sure everything was set the way I wanted which gave me reassurance. Ivette even later drove down 2 hrs from Key West to check and make sure everything was going smoothly. My expectations were exceeded!! They took so much stress from me. The day was perfect and I was truly able to enjoy the day thanks to them!! -

Excellent!
Ivette was an incredible wedding coordinator! She was always available to help whenever we had any questions both during the planning process and the actual wedding. She went above and beyond to make our wedding so special and I don’t think it would have been as smooth and stress free if it wasn’t for her! I highly recommend Ivette and her team if you are having a wedding in the keys! -

Alexandria S. Sent on 04/16/2022Ivette is so helpful!
It was easy to choose to work with Ivette after our first conversation and how she broke everything down for me so simply. She is available at any time, she helped keep us calm and excited for the wedding rather than stressed. The day of the wedding went very well and we had so much fun, if something went wrong- we definitely didn’t know about it!! Ivette is amazing! We can’t thank her enough! -

Book her!
If you’re wondering whether or not Ivette is the right coordinator for you, let me help you - SHE IS! She was absolutely amazing. From the very beginning, she was the most responsive of any coordinator I had been in contact with, and she makes you feel like an old friend, not a client. She will make sure you are feeling 100% confident and prepared ahead of your wedding day, and takes care of every single last detail for you. On the big day, Ivette kept reminding me “All you have to worry about is looking pretty” because she was doing everything else. She even made plates of food during the cocktail hour and for dessert and brought them to us so we were sure to eat. SHE IS THE BEST!! You will NOT regret booking her - do it!! -

Above and Beyond
If I could 1000 stars I would! Ivette did an outstanding job in helping us plan a destination wedding. She is very knowledgeable in planning every detail. Her organization and ability to reassure us that everything was going to go smoothly. Our day would not have been as perfect as it was without her! The day of Caroline was there to make sure everything detail was perfect. Our day was magical and I owe that all to Ivette and her team! Highly recommend Florida Keys Day of Coordinator! -

Ivette is AMAZING!!!!
Ms. Ivette Chao is nothing short of amazing!!
I needed to hire a day of coordinator for my wedding day and had no idea where to begin. I started looking up coordinators on WeddingWire just a month before my wedding and found Florida Keys Day of Coordinator. Ivette had wonderful reviews so like most of my destination wedding decisions, I took a chance and I called. I AM BEYONG HAPPY I DID!!! Ivette answered right away excited to help with my wedding. It was at that moment she felt like family to me. One of the first things Ivette said to me was she doesn't like to consider herself a day of coordinator, she likes month of coordinator. As this is the time and dedication she put into my wedding. Also her pricing was right where I wanted to be. Over our month together we had multiple conversations on the phone, texts and emails to make sure we were on the same page and covered everything. I am very particular and wanted everything as I imagined it. I sent Ivette pictures and info on how I wanted everything setup. Ivette was so confident in what she does she made me feel at ease right away, all my trust was in her!
The day before our wedding she showed up to our venue for our rehearsal. This was the first time I had met Ivette in person. She is friendly, Patience and so very kind! I truly felt like I knew her for years. She helped us run through our wedding ceremony and what everyone will do.
On our wedding day Ivette showed up 5 1/2 hours before hand, said good morning to everyone with a huge smile and a hug and got straight to work. Her and her assistant worked vigorously for hours to set everything up. From our Arch decor & Isle decor to our welcome table & ALL of our reception tables, bar & cake table. EVERY single detail was PERFECT! Through out the evening she made sure to calmly have control and stick to our timeline to ensure we had enough time for all our plans. She helped clean up and pack all my wedding decor at the end of the night. She definitely worked her butt off for 13 hours straight. With out her I would not have been able to enjoy my big day as I did.
Out of all the vendors I hired for our wedding, Ivette was my absolute favorite person! If I could give her a 10 star for her hard work that is exactly what I would give. She was a complete joy to work with. Saying good bye to her at the end of the night just didn't feel right. Ivette has a forever friend in me!!!!

The best!!
There are not enough words to describe how great Ivette really is. She made our big day go smoothly, she’s beyond professional, she directed the bridal party with ease, and spent all morning making sure the property and decorations were perfect (which they were beyond). Her timeline was detailed and clear and she worked with our vendors so well And have received endless compliments of Ivette from both our vendors and our guests. Book her for your special day because WOW, she is spectacular. -

Absolutely Fabulous
Ivette was such a pleasure to work with. My husband and I are from Rhode Island and did a destination wedding in Key Largo. Ivette was wonderful at accommodating us from such a far distance so we were a part of the whole process. She took the time to FaceTime us and allow us to choose every detail. She was prompt with responding and answering my texts. She made us feel like we knew her for years. She was such a wonderful person to work with and went above and beyond for us. We highly recommend her to anyone getting married that wants to experience a fabulous stress free day. She made things so easy for us and we appreciate her so much! -
