    Amazing Planner!

    Hiring Michelle as our day-of coordinator, in hindsight, was the one of the biggest factors in my husband and I enjoying our wedding day.

    Michelle is very experienced in wedding planning and coordination, and through that experience she raised questions and considerations that we had not addressed in our own planning. Her experience also enabled her to make practical and pressure-free recommendations when my husband and I were stuck on decisions. This all led to Michelle creating a great plan for our rehearsal and wedding day.

    Throughout the event, Michelle naturally commands the room with a pleasant and professional demeanor - everybody gravitates to her and happily lines up to her planning. Members of our wedding party and other vendors both commented to us about how great she managed the rehearsals and the day-of events.

    The added bonus is that her assistants are incredibly adept and follow her lead in both execution and professionalism, ensuring that everything goes smoothly; it's amazing watching them as a team. They ensured that everything ran to-plan, and they were quick to adjust and fix problems the few times they came up - in our case they were doing things like adjusting candles, fixing the lighting, and even helped me fix a snag in my dress. I can only imagine what things they resolved behind-the-scenes, but simply stated: there wasn't a single detail that they missed!

    Looking back at our wedding, I would say that we hired all of our other vendors as a gift to our guests: that they would have a great experience and great food and fun dancing and beautiful scenery and amazing photos on our wedding day ... and then I would say that we hired Michelle as a gift to ourselves, that we could also truly enjoy our own special day.

    She's professional and responsive, engaging and kind, detailed and efficient ... We obviously have no comparison to measure Michelle against, but it's impossible for us to imagine that she's not among the very very best in her field. I don't know how anybody could have done a better job!

    Ultimately, it's your day and you deserve to enjoy it without any worries - my husband and I have the strongest recommendation that you should do yourself the biggest favor you can, and consider Michelle as your wedding coordinator.

    Mother of the Bride

    She had great recommendations for vendors. Provided detailed outlines to keep us on track. On hand for rehearsal. Provided exact timeline for wedding day, including makeup, hair and photos prior to ceremony. Oversaw wedding itself and reception. I was able to relax and enjoy the wedding because of Michelle. That was priceless.

    Stress-Free Wedding

    Hiring Michelle as our day-of-coordinator (really I would say month of with the all the help she provided!) was one of the best decisions we made. She brought our vision alive for our wedding, ensured everything ran smoothly, and took over all communication with our vendors 2-3 weeks out from our wedding date. She created a detailed timeline for our venue and vendors, and basically took all the stress out of our hands! She attended two walk throughs with us at our venue. She really made everything run perfectly, and ensured that we could all just relax and enjoy the day.

    Perfect and stress-free planning

    Working with Michelle and the Day of Team on our wedding was an incredible experience. Her experience and expertise advised us on important decisions like vendors and how the event should flow. Her guidance and attention to detail made both the planning process and our wedding day stress-free. I felt complete confidence to let go and have Michelle and the team take over - all we had to do was enjoy our special day! We are so grateful and will never plan an event without The Day Of. We highly recommend them!!

    Michelle and Team were a dream

    Michelle really went above and beyond to make sure that our wedding day ran smoothly. She took the time to understand every detail of our wedding day and really ensured that the things that mattered to us most went off without a hitch. We had a fairly complicated wedding with a lot of logistics and details and everything was executed perfectly. My family and I were also so grateful to go into the weekend at ease knowing that we had Michelle and her team there. Michelle is also a wonderful person - a pleasure to work with and has a wonderful calm energy. Thank you, thank you!

    The Day Of's reply:

    Thank you SO much, Ali!!! It was a perfect day and I am honored to have been part of it. Thank you for choosing us! XO

    Best decision we made!

    Michelle is truly incredible and I cannot say enough nice things about her! I can honestly say hiring her was the best decision we made in our wedding planning! We brought Michelle in 30 days before our wedding date when planning had become chaotic and stressful. Michelle was so calm, reassuring, organized and responsive! She created an extremely detailed timeline, including details that I never had even thought of! Our wedding vendors had all complimented that it was the best timeline they had ever received and they all enjoyed working with Michelle. She is also a jack of all trades, the day of our wedding she was creating additional floral arrangements last minute to add to venue! It was so nice for us and our parents to know someone we trusted had all the details of our wedding day covered so that we could relax and enjoy ourselves! Michelle's assistant, Elizabeth was also extremely helpful. Anything we needed, she was there! Elizabeth even helped take photos that she knew the photographers weren't able to get! It was such a pleasure working with Michelle and Elizabeth, I would highly recommend them to all couples as they plan their big day!

    The Day Of's reply:

    I am so happy we were able to step in and help you thorough those final phases of your wedding planning. The end can be the most stressful and I am so happy that we could put you at ease so you could enjoy the day!!!

    The stress melted away!

    I was so happy with Michelle and her team. She is more type A than me and that is hard to find :) Every little detail was taken care of and she doesn't miss a beat. My stress literally melted away the second I hired her, no more wedding nightmares!

    Flawless Wedding Coordinator!

    Working with Michelle from The Day Of Events to help coordinate my wedding celebration was the best decision I could have made! I had a private destination wedding with a small party and a celebration back home with family and friends on a larger scale. Needless to say, there was a lot to plan with the wedding celebration back home and I needed the help!

    The first time we spoke over the phone, it felt like I was speaking to someone who I had known for years. She was so easy to talk to and had this wonderful way about her that gave me peace of mind. She gave me several references to contact and all of the references gave glowing reviews. I had no doubt Michelle would be the right fit for my needs.

    Michelle was incredibly knowledgeable and professional throughout the entire experience. She was thorough in every aspect of planning and covered every last detail. She offered advice whenever I needed a suggestion and she was fully committed to making my day everything that I had imagined!

    A month prior, Michelle provided an on-site visit at the venue to get an overall sense of the layout and flow and we discussed so many things that I would have never considered! Weeks leading up the wedding celebration, Michelle made sure every last detail was coordinated and provided me with a day-of timeline. On the actual day, she and her assistant worked seamlessly and made for a flawless day! I would highly recommend Michelle as a wedding coordinator! Thank you, Michelle, for everything you and your team did for my wedding celebration!!

    My daughters wedding was a classy backyard event that went off without so much as a drunk uncle! I owe it all to Michelle! Her experience and advice leading up to the wedding was instrumental regarding so many small details I overlooked. She also ran the day from beginning to end and I never felt stressed. I had an absolute blast and I owe it all to Michelle’s professionalism and ability to handle everything from the advice, tips, listening to me ask too many questions, dealing with all the vendors and keeping me hydrated. All my guests commented on how nice she was to deal with anytime they had a question or needed help in any way.
    I highly recommend her and would use her services again if I ever plan another wedding!

    We worked with Michelle for our son's bar mitzvah and it was the best thing I ever did. Not only did she think of everything, ask all the right questions and keep us totally organized, she was incredibly responsive, thoughtful and just a pleasure to work with. She has amazing relationships as well so chances are she'll know your photographer and caterer but she can also recommend centerpiece vendors or hair and makeup. She is thorough and on the ball all with a big smile and I've already booked her for my daughter's event.

    Michelle provided unique recommendations along with enhancing my original thoughts for our special day. I valued her honest opinion, she was fun and professional, and the day wouldn't have been complete without her overseeing every detail. She provided piece of mind that tasks were being handled to the same expectation had I done it myself, all while alleviating the stress on me. Not only would I highly recommend Michelle to others, but I also wouldn't hesitate to use her for our next event!

    Michelle and her team were great, particularly on the day of the wedding. Even if you don't think you need a full-on wedding planner, do yourself a favor and hire Michelle as your wedding day coordinator!!! It was amazing not having to deal with any logistics on the actual day of the wedding, I cannot describe it enough.

    The planning process was great with Michelle on my team. Michelle is so much fun and knows who to reach out to for whatever you might want (for example, custom cigars). She was a great liaison with the vendors - she coordinated directly with them and followed up with them persistently to make any changes we needed or to get information, pricing, etc. from them.

    We really enjoyed working with Michelle and her team!

    Michelle was amazing to work with from the beginning! She was quick to answer any emails and meeting with her was always fun. We didn't do a lot of the traditional wedding activities, but she was happy to be flexible and accommodate our random requests and activities. I'd highly recommend to any bride that wants to enjoy the day of the wedding and not be running around coordinating and checking on people. Somehow my entire family showed up to pictures, dressed and ready to go on time - that is quite an accomplishment!

    The Day Of's reply:

    Thanks, Clare! Each wedding is unique, as it should be. And we loved every minute of your beautiful day!!!

    My husband and I married this past May in Portsmouth, RI, and hiring Michelle was one of the BEST decisions we made!!!! I was planning most of the wedding on my own, and though I kept resisting the idea that I would need help on the day-of, a friend of ours in the wedding business highly recommended Michelle to me. I'm very grateful that she did! Michelle is so kind and generous with her time. Even in the months leading up to our wedding I felt that I could ask her questions, and she was always super quick to respond and generous with her time and advice. We were planning a very unique wedding with some complicated aspects. Michelle made sure she had an absolutely perfect understanding of what we were going for and what exactly we were envisioning for our day. She also helped us to hone our vision, and I'm sure the day would not have gone nearly as smoothly without her involvement! As the wedding day drew near it was SO helpful and comforting to know that Michelle had everything under control. She had all the information, the timeline, etc, and if things went wrong it did not fall on me in my stressed-out-bride-mode to fix things. Michelle had it all under control! Of course then nothing went wrong, at least not that I knew of, and our day went by so smoothly I couldn't believe it. I cannot say enough good things about Michelle! She is an absolute pro, but also super kind, generous, and calming! Thank you Michelle!!!

    The Day Of's reply:

    Hi Lisa! It was so much fun getting to know you and Jeff and being part of such a warm, unique wedding day! Your personalities and lives shined through in every aspect of your wedding day. Thank you for choosing us!!!

    Michelle and her team were absolute pleasures to work with. I am very detail oriented and Michelle really worked with me to fine tune all aspects of our November 2016 wedding. I particularly appreciated her responsiveness to my many emails and questions- she always responded within the hour (if not the minute!). Michelle has so much experience as an event coordinator, and it was so valuable to have her opinion along the way. I could rest assured that our wedding was in great hands and completely relax on the big day. I highly recommend The Day Of!

Thanks to The Day Of, I didn't have to to worry about the "little things" on my wedding day, and could truly enjoy the day. That is priceless! Thank you again.

    Michelle was professional, responsive, and creative. She was able to help us craft our vision and then bring it to life within our budget. Whenever we questioned an expenditure, she would tell us why she thought it was worth it as well as give us other options. We always felt like she had our vision at the center of whatever she did. Our event was a roaring success and she worked hard to make it so.

    Michelle was hired to be a "day of" planner for our son's Bar Mitzvah. Throughout the entire planning process, even though we weren't meeting regularly, she made herself available and accessible by phone or email which was incredibly helpful. During those conversations, she offered advise and supplied me with names and contact info for her trusted vendors. As the event got closer, she took over all of the communications and became the point-person. And, on the day of the function, she arrived early and stayed the entire day to ensure that everyone's set up went smoothly. I am very pleased with how the function turned out and would highly recommend Michelle.

    Michelle was terrific throughout the planning process. She provided us with creative ideas and helped us navigate the traditional elements that we weren't familiar with so that everything was done right. Our wedding day went off without a hitch, and I know it was because of Michelle's attention to detail and coordination throughout. A month later, how perfect the day was is still the topic of conversation with our family and I'm so thankful that Michelle was there to help us pull it off!

    Because we were getting married at our home, my then-fiance and I planned to just do all the planning ourselves. However as the RSVPs came in and we realized we were going to have around 175 guests, we started to panic. I quickly realized we were in over our heads, and convinced my fiance we needed to get some help. During my first conversation with Michelle, I literally breathed a sigh of relief, and knew immediately that things would be okay. Although there were still a few stressful moments in the planning process, like when the forecast suddenly called for rain and we had to move the cermony inside, we both felt much better knowing Michelle would ensure it all ran smoothly. There may well have been issues or glitches that came up at the wedding, but if so, Michelle and her team handled them and we were able to just have fun and enjoy the day. And despite the rain, we couldn't have asked for a better wedding! Thank you, Michelle!

    Planning a wedding was a scary thought to me! However Michelle made my day perfect. She took my vision of a relaxed, yet elegant beach wedding and executed my plans to perfection. Having Michelle there took all of my stress away. When the day came she took the lead and everything went off without a hitch. I would recommend Michelle to anyone who needs/wants support on that very special day. You've planned everything, and done all of the hard work, let Michelle execute your perfect day!

    We had done a lot of planning at the beginning on our own, but as our wedding day approached, it was clear we needed to pull it all together and get all of the components organized. The Day Of provided just that. From creating schedules and contact sheets for all of the vendors so that each one could see the overall plan leading up to and all the way though. The Day Of was there for us all the way though, and our special day went off without a glitch.
