    Highly recommend

    We hired Drena as our 6 week our wedding coordinator. From the beginning she was beyond helpful. She was the main contact for our vendors and help coordinate delivery time and delivery instructions. She put together our timeline, visited the venue with us and was generally a huge help in the lead up to the big day. On the wedding day I knew I would need help but she made sure everything went off without a hitch. Everyone in my family was equally impressed how helpful, kind and organized Drena was. Her assistant Gloria was also so kinda. They were both there to make sure that we as the couple didn’t have to worry about a single thing. We are so grateful for everything that they did for us, they really made our day perfect. I cannot recommend Day of Guru enough to anyone that is looking for a wedding coordinator.

    Anniversary/Retirement Party

    Just Drena Events is one of the best event planners I've worked with! Drena's experience and attention to detail helped elevate our event to the next level. Her follow-up and care for approaching dates and deadlines, kept our party on track from beginning to a worry free, fun and flawless end...Thanks Drena!

    Memories are forever!

    Drena planned an event celebrating our 42nd wedding anniversary and my retirement. Her guidance and suggestions made our event stress free. Her attention to detail allowed my husband and I to enjoy the night. We felt like royalty from the moment we walked into our event. We had many follow up calls from our family and friends expressing how much they enjoyed our event. I happily recommend Just Drena Events and Design.

    The best decision we made was hiring drena

    Hiring Drena was without a doubt the best decision we made planning our wedding. She took care of so many details for us big and small and I cannot imagine having the wedding day we had without her. She was professional, diligent, she went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure every single detail was on point. My husband and I were able to enjoy our wedding day because of her presence. I'm certain that I don't even truly know the extent of all she did for us on our wedding day and prior. I trusted her and she delivered us the wedding day of our dreams. If I could go back in time I would have hired her the day I got engaged. WEDDING PLANNING AND DAY OF COORDINATION is the most essential element to your day and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! Hire Drena and thank me later :)

    The key to our amazing wedding

    Our wedding from start to finish would not have been the same without Drena. She took her time to understand our wants and needs, adapted to the Filipino customs and worked closely with all of our vendors, even when some weren’t as cooperative. To us, the day went off without a hitch and we had no stress whatsoever. Not once did I have to worry about someone being in the right place or whether or not the timing of something specific would work. I cannot thank Drena enough for all of her hard work, she truly made our day special.

    Flawless execution!

    Drena is the best coordinator a Bride could have. She is trustworthy, dependable, professional, communicative and extremely organized and detailed. I live in Houston, TX and my husband and I decided to host our wedding in St. Louis, MO. Drena visited venues, she took pictures, and she coordinated with all of our vendors for the day. I never had to worry about a payment or email being sent. She was on top of it of it all! I attempted to plan the wedding myself in the earlier stages of planning, thank goodness I found Drena or there wouldn't have been a wedding. I cannot stress enough of how great of a planner she is. On our wedding day, my husband and I were running around greeting our guests, she approached me and asked, "why aren't you all eating?" A very simple question yet it let me know that she was concerned for our well being. Additionally, she concerns herself with the smaller and larger details. Our sweetheart table was amazing, I'm almost sure certain a few decorations came from her personal stash, something she didn't have to do that contributed to our wedding being reminiscent of a fairy tale. I cannot stress enough how talented and professional she is. She deserves 10 stars...flawless execution.

    Drena was amazing! When my wife and I first reached out to her, we had already planned a great deal of our wedding, but we knew we needed a 3rd party to help us bring all of these ideas together and to give us insight to the aspects of Wedding Planning that we hadn't thought of yet (and someone to help execute the majority of the wedding plans). Drena did just that and much more. She reached out to us consistently to ensure we had all we needed leading up to the wedding day and during. What we didn't have, she made sure we knew how to get it or that it was covered. She stepped in on the day of our wedding and helped for each moment that we needed it. From ensuring we had the right pictures and angles with our photographer, to ensuring the DJ was perfectly aligned with our plans for the Reception. Drena. was.everywhere! She was also extremely flexible to our ideas and if/when they changed. When we decided on the day of our wedding that we wanted to have a sparkler exit from the reception, DRENA MADE SURE IT HAPPENED! Reaching out to her was a great decision and we would choose her again.
    ---
    My recommendation to those reading, trying to determine who to choose as a Wedding Planner, who is affordable, consistent, cares about your wedding and is invested in your day, then I say your search has ended. If you need someone who will give you guides to make your life easier, encouragement, check-ins, and ensuring you have exactly what you want for your big day, we HIGHLY recommend Drena!

    Drena worked her magic and made our event magical. We realized kinda late in the game that we needed a planner, and Drena came all the way through. If we ever need planning services in the future for any event, I'm calling Drena!

    Just Drena was beyond phenomenal in assisting in making our client's day spectacular! With over 400 guests, Regal Event Designs desired an experienced assistant coordinator to join the team to ensure the day's specifics were executed with finesse, professionalism, and of course a smile! Just Drena identified the unexpected and resolved matters cheerfully and effectively as they arose. Our client's day was enjoyable and memorable with the collaborative efforts of Regal Event Designs and Just Drena!! We cannot wait to team up again!! From Houston, TX to STL, thank you for everything!!

    Drena's service was exceptional! In the beginning, I knew that I did not want to be overwhelmed by the entire process of planning a wedding, and I knew that I would need someone on the team who could fill-in my gaps.

    She's awesome in that her design eye is impeccable and her coordination skills are on point. She thought of things that I did not even consider. Basically, she was my secret weapon. Highly recommends.
